Another strong accent. Since I've Been Loving You is very powerful, No Quarter an epic and Ten Years Gone is also excellent. A great, short, impromptu version of Dancing Days leads into Black Country Woman Moby Dick for drum solo fans is over 35 minutes long here! So sad Jimmy not goes deeper into Communication Breakdown but only teasing the audience with a riff.
The band is extremely loose as the show gets underway. Page's fingers are a bit sticky during The Song Remains the Same. The band rolls through Sick Again like thick molasses, getting heavier with each refrain. As the song ends, Plant apologizes for the delay, saying "we are extremely sorry, we don't treat it casually or lightly." He tells the crowd "we had such a good time last night, we think we're gonna try and do better tonight" before Nobody's Fault But Mine. In My Time of Dying features the usual You Shook Me tease near the end. Since I've Been Loving You is introduced as "something that comes out of our back yard."
Jones's piano solo during No Quarter is introduced by a series of echo-heavy theramin bursts over Bonzo's rolling tympani. Following a dramatic grand piano interlude, Page and Bonzo join in for an excellent hard rock jam. The three musicians play as one, completely in synch with one another as they create a miniature rock opera. Bonzo takes control and drives the band through the guitar solo section as Page wanders through a somewhat lackluster effort. Plant barks aggressively as Page solos wildly during the song's outro. Before Ten Years Gone, Plant tells the crowd "if you've ever had an affair with a member of the opposite sex, or even a member of the same sex... if this affair seemed very casual to you at one time and then you've walked away, and as the years go by, you realize that it was a lot more than it seemed... then you felt the feeling of lost love, and this is a song about that."
Bonzo is introduced as "Lou Reed's dad" before The Battle of Evermore, which is dedicated to "the good old welsh borders." Plant introduces a beautiful Going to California as "one about a dream that may never come true." His mournful howls echo through the auditorium. Black Country Woman is preceded by an abbreviated acoustic rendition of Dancing Days, its first appearance since 7/13/1973. Plant delivers a strong performance as Bonzo pummels his drums in a series of thunderous fills during Kashmir. The crowd goes wild as a marathon thirty-five minute Over the Top comes to a close, the longest drum solo ever recorded. The band is a bit disjointed during a sloppy Achilles Last Stand. Bonzo comes in early, creating a strange new arrangement of the song's introduction. Plant dedicates Stairway to Heaven to "all that is positive and good and we can hope for." Bonzo sounds almost bored as Page delivers an uninspired guitar solo. The band closes the show with a tired run-through of Rock and Roll. The recording ends with the tapers of the audience source interviewing passers-by on their way out of the arena.
The tape is an excellent soundboard recording, augmented by a fairly clear audience recording.

Saucy! It's the first word that comes to mind when I think of Anne Dakun of Suicide Cabinet. She is a saucy, spicy, sophisticated fashionista and one of the sharpest dressed ladies in Secondlife. Her sense of style is flawless and she has a way of putting pieces together in such a voguish way. You can tell she has an innate sense of style and that might be because of her Spanish roots. Her looks are always sexy and luxurious. Which is exactly why I can't get enough of her blog. I was very eager to see what her home had in store…
When I first arrived at Anne's house I was excited to see bright teal skies and honey coloured sand. Anne is clearly a beach lover. Her house is white terracotta and she tells me she's done some retexturing to the house herself. The outside of the house is very well decorated to keep with the beach theme. Her interior decorations are bright and fun. Her walls are covered with pictures of friends. She has a huge picture in her living room… She's posing with Nuria Augapfel (owner of N-Core). I'm a bit intimidated. But I soon learn like her house, Anne is funny and easy going. She hasn't stuffed her home with furniture; it's all-minimal! it's clean and crisp with lots of room to breathe.
She was dressed in the fabulous Maitreya sock sandals, a black Armindi dress, and jet black hair. True to her blogger taste she wore an array of accessories. This was the first of four outfits...
We settled into her open space home and started to get into the good stuff:
Temperance: What would you call your home style?
Anne: I think my home reflects my closet, because there is a bit of each style. I like to mix different trends, especially the minimalist & lounge, with some details of chic, boho or vintage. According to my mood and at different times of year, I change these small details.
Temperance: What inspires your decorating?
Anne: When I decorate my house, I always listen to chilled out music. Because what you feel when you listen to this music is what I want you to feel at my home: relaxed. I do not like the houses full of furniture, and I love the white color and the rooms spacious and clean. For me, my house is a place of relaxation, alone or with friends. If you want to party or hustle, better stay away from home.
Temperance: Do you spend a lot of time in your home?
Anne: Whenever I can I'm home. In addition, my work in Second Life is based in fashion, so as I spent almost all day working at home, opening boxes and trying on new clothes to create new sets for my blog. Besides it's a great place for me to entertain. That's right: I'm hardly ever alone, my best friends Dana Adasia and Sookie Yiwama spend lot of time with me doing what I do, hehe.
Temperance: Where is this house from? Why did you pick it?
Anne: I bought this house in a store called Attitude, but I have re-textured all the walls and floors, and I changed all the furniture, so the house looks nothing like the original house. The principal reason for which I chose this house is because it is white. The design is wide and the rooms are shared and open. I do not like the houses with thousand of rooms.
Temperance: What's your favourite piece in your home?
Anne: I like everything. Probably my favorite zone is the living room or the bedroom. Maybe the living room.
Temperance: Why did you start blogging?
Anne: I always was looking at blogs and buying everything I liked. I was trying to imitate looks of other bloggers. One day I was petrified looking at my inventory, and I thought: "I have too many clothes. Why do I not do a blog and at least I show it? So I opened an account in wordpress, and I started publishing my clothes, but it was simply a hobby. Now I take it as a job.
Temperance: So, besides blogging... what else do you do with your SL time?
Anne: I like shopping, going to parties with my friends, being at home with them, watching videos, meeting people from other countries ... but If I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my friends, they are the best thing I have here :) specially my best friends Babs Draconia, Dana Adasia, or Sookie Yiwama :P
Temperance: Favourite hairstyle? Or hair designer?
Anne: You put me in a squeeze with this question. LOL! There are many designers of hair that I am charmed with. For example Truth, Lelutka, Maitreya or Milana.
Temperance: Three fashion accessories you can't live without?
Anne: Bags, rings and bangles, no doubt!
Temperance: What's your fashion pet-peeve?
Anne: I hate face-lights, giant tattoos (specially if they are black) and the tongues. You'll never see me wearing any of this. LOL!
Temperance: What advice can you give to all the budding fashionistas out there on the grid?
Anne: Well, I'm not the best person to give advice because the only thing I do is to unleash my imagination, hehe. I think we should always seek innovation, not stagnation. Nor always wear the same colors. I think that the more variation of colors you have in your inventory, the better. I also think we have to try different styles, since it will all look good if worn with style. Another "tip". If you do not have many clothes, just use accessories. The accessories make the clothes look different. I also believe that hair is important. Depending on the type of hair that you wear, a set of clothes can look very different. And that's all! Thank you very much Temperance! xoxo.
Temperance: Thank you Anne! hugs

Let's pray for a productive weekend, not like last weekend.
Oh! Thrift-Free update...
I went to Goodwill and Salvation Army with my friend today to help her with her Halloween costume and didn't buy a single thing. And there was good stuff just begging to come home with me. I'm still thrift-free!
My lovely friend Shawna has just designed new tees for Thrift Store Cowboys. So pop on over to her blog and check them out!

UPDATE: Suspect, officers named following a high-speed chase that resulted in shots fired
What follows is a press release from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) concerning the officer-related shooting that occurred Thursday evening along Highway 10 outside of Audubon:
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) is investigating an officer involved shooting incident that happened on Thursday evening on U.S. Highway 10 just east of Audubon.
Two Becker County Sheriff's Office deputies who fired their weapons during the incident have been placed on standard administrative leave. Neither was injured.
Patrol Sergeant Dan May has 14 years of law enforcement experience and has been a Becker County deputy since 2014.
Deputy Daran Borth has been in law enforcement for five years including three years with the Becker County Sheriff's Office.
The subject injured during the incident has been identified as Dean Robert Minnerath, 55, of West Fargo, North Dakota. Minnerath is being treated for his injuries at Essentia Health-Fargo hospital.
Deputies May and Borth were responding to a 911 call around 7:25 p.m. about someone in Cormorant Township threatening to kill people. Deputies spotted the suspect vehicle, driven by Minnerath, heading north on County Road 5. The deputies attempted to stop the vehicle but instead a pursuit ensued at speeds in excess of 95 mph. The pursuit continued north on County Road 5 and then east on U.S. Highway 10.
The Minnesota State Patrol joined in the pursuit. The pursuit ended just east of Audubon after Minnerath's vehicle struck tire deflation spikes deployed by the State Patrol.
According to the BCA's preliminary investigation, Minnerath immediately emerged from the vehicle brandishing a rifle toward the deputies. Both deputies fired their weapons, striking Minnerath.
Law enforcement on the scene immediately provided medical assistance after which Minnerath was transported by ambulance to the Detroit Lakes airport and then taken by helicopter to Essentia Health-Fargo hospital.
Lake Park and Detroit Lakes police officers arrived at the scene after the shooting had taken place. No officers were wearing body cameras. Several squad cameras were operating and may have captured portions of the incident.
A passenger who was in Minnerath's vehicle during the pursuit was interviewed by BCA agents about the incident and released.
The BCA is investigating the officer involved shooting incident. The Becker County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident leading to the pursuit.
Once the BCA's investigation is complete, the BCA will turn its findings over to the Becker County Attorney's Office for review.
Original story:
Audubon, MN—The Becker County Sheriff's Office has confirmed an officer-involved shooting on Highway 10.
According to a press release, just before 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 28, deputies became involved in a high-speed chase that ended when police deployed deflation devices on Highway 10 near Audubon, where County Road 15 meets the highway, just east of town.
Audubon Liquor Store employees Nathan Rice and Logan Moe said that shortly after 7:25 p.m., they saw an eastbound vehicle speeding down Highway 10 followed by two squad cars. Moe said the pursuit ended near the intersection.
The press release stated the driver of the suspect-vehicle reportedly got out with a long gun, and shots were fired. The suspect suffered gunshot wounds and was taken to a Fargo hospital.
No officers were hurt.
A large police presence (roughly 10 to 15 squad cars, from numerous entities) cordoned off the eastbound lane of Highway 10, immediately after the incident and rerouted vehicles traveling east on the highway onto County Road 15.
For a few hours into the night, passersby could see officials with the Minnesota State Patrol, Becker County Sheriff's Office, Lake Park Police Department, and Detroit Lakes Police Department at the scene where a tan SUV truck was pulled over.
The Minnesota BCA arrived on the scene around midnight. The suspect's name has not yet been released. The sheriff's department says the names of the deputies involved will be released after the BCA gets a statement.
In a news release, the Minnesota Department of Transportation said the eastbound lanes of Highway 10 between Detroit Lakes and Audubon would be closed through the night.
The department said the lanes were expected to reopen Friday morning.
Check back for details as information is released by the BCA.

Why Did Minneapolis Police Search Justine Damond's Home After They Killed Her?
It's been 11 days since Mohamed Noor shot and killed Justine Damond, and he still hasn't explained why he did it. Now we have another question the Minneapolis Police Department needs to answer.
Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigators were granted permission to search Justine Damond's home hours after she was shot and killed by a Minneapolis police officer, according to court records…
"I don't understand why they're looking for bodily fluids inside her home," said Joseph Daly, an emeritus professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law, referring to one of two recently-released search warrant applications.
"Whose bodily fluids are they looking for? Is she a suspect? I don't understand why they're looking for controlled substances inside her home. I don't understand why they're looking for writings inside her home. The warrant does not explain that to me."
A cynical mind might assume that the police, having just killed an unarmed, pajama-clad woman right outside her home after she called 911 to report a possible rape, were searching her house to find something they could use to claim it was justified. Presumably they didn't find anything, or we would've heard about it by now.
Prof. Daly says this development could cause "an international incident." I think it probably should. A lot of Australians want to know why this woman is dead. They want to know what the authorities are doing about it. So far, the answer is: worse than nothing.
And now they're saying that Damond "slapped" the police car just before Noor shot her. Well, that explains it, right?
Here's another question: Why is Mohamed Noor still getting a paycheck? The chief of police has already been ousted over this, but Noor is still on "paid leave," AKA taxpayer-funded vacation. Good work if you can get it.
Oh wait, nevermind. I'm just being silly. The "explanatory journalists" at Vox have this whole thing all figured out:
People are only sympathetic toward her because she was white. Never mind that she wasn't grabbing for the cop's gun or beating his head into the sidewalk when he shot her. Never mind that there's no evidence whatsoever that she did anything wrong. It's about skin color. End of story.
This is how you get Trump.

Six Wolfs, Three Weills
David Simpson
- Weimar in Exile: The Anti-Fascist Emigration in Europe and America by Jean-Michel Palmier, translated by David Fernbach
Verso, 852 pp, £29.99, July 2006, ISBN 1 84467 068 6
We have long known that, for all the famous success stories, the welcome extended to Europe's displaced persons, mostly but not all Jews, in the run-up to the Second World War was partial, insufficient and often less than wholehearted. Yet the temptation to romanticise this piece of the past persists, aided by the fact that exile is a word whose charge has been somewhat blunted by an inclination to celebrate the positive aspects of rootlessness, whether as a gesture against the perceived intellectual and personal constraints which result from living within nation-states and their mindsets or as a virtue made of the need for some kind of global citizenship to compensate for a sensed loss of local autonomy. Nomadism (after Deleuze and Guattari) has become an appealing metaphor for all sorts of freedom, while the more negative refugeedom described in the work of Giorgio Agamben has been taken to define the condition of all of us in a world in which place-based civic and legal securities are increasingly being eroded by a volatile global economy.
But if everyone is an exile, don't we risk ignoring the distinctions between the radically dispossessed and displaced and those who merely choose to relocate themselves? One can see how the image of exile might appeal to those who want to live their lives as free-floating intellectuals, and how such people might imagine themselves thereby achieving the condition of patrician disinterest identified in the classic republican tradition with clear judgment and political propriety. But the privileges of self-elected relocation and its attendant philosophic calm have been sparingly distributed in the history of those displaced persons for whom one should properly reserve the word exile. Aihwa Ong describes 'flexible citizenship' as open only to an international monied class able to purchase property and education where it wants, while Edward Said (in an essay written in 1984) said that 'anyone who is really homeless regards the habit of seeing estrangement in everything modern as an affectation, a display of modish attitudes.' Exiles, as distinct from émigrés and expatriates, mostly experience their situation as one set up 'to deny dignity', and carry with them an 'essential sadness' never to be surmounted. Exile, however positive its outcomes may seem for those countries generous or opportunistic enough to offer homes to top research scientists and famous writers, is not fun for most of those on whom it is visited.
Indeed, extreme and even tragic suffering seems to have been the experience of huge numbers, perhaps even of the majority of those forced to leave their homelands during the dismal course of 20th-century history. Jean-Michel Palmier's sombre encyclopedia of exile, published in French in 1987 and now translated by David Fernbach, offers seemingly endless evidence of the ways in which exile often punished over and over again those who fled Germany after 1933. One story is symptomatic. Hans Bendgens-Henner, a pacifist refugee who had first settled in Holland, was expelled from Belgium back to Holland, placed in an internment camp, expelled again back to Belgium, deported to France in 1940, imprisoned in Düsseldorf and hanged on 15 November 1942. While not all the lives Palmier writes about are quite like this, very little space in his enormous compendium is given over to the success stories. Perhaps the luckiest form of desolation was the purely spiritual, the longing for a past homeland experienced at a distance and in conditions of relative ease. More often we read of poverty, distrust, conflict, self-doubt and legal insecurity, not only before and during World War Two but after it, in the new forms of persecution called up by the Cold War.

Ron Paul on Homeschooling
The political involvement of homeschoolers at state and local levels is necessary to protect parental rights. Even at the national level, it is necessary for groups such as the Home School Legal Defense Association to keep members apprised of shenanigans perpetrated in the Imperial City.
Nevertheless, I've been disturbed by the mindless support offered up by homeschoolers to the GOP, particularly with regard to the war, where the homeschoolers I know are still largely enlisted in the imperial project in Mesopotamia.
I hadn't thought about Ron Paul's position on homeschooling. I simply assumed he was supportive of parents and families trying to free themselves in some limited way from the tentacles of the state and culture of mediocrity and atheism enshrined in public schools.
I wasn't disappointed. Here is a press release from the Paul campaign.
Will homeschoolers support Paul? The question is merely rhetorical. HSLDA has already endorsed Mike Huckabee. Yes, you read that correctly--Mike Huckabee.
Given Paul's support for homeschoolers over many years, why would the HSLDA endorse Huckabee? Because the HSLDA is joined at the hip with the GOP and any deviation from conservative dogmatics precipitates excommunication of the heretic.
Support for Bushian foreign policy now defines the GOP, and those who dissent in the political sphere face rhetorical and political assaults. Battered by amoral sexual degenerates and revolutionaries on the left and corporate shills and militarists on the right, I am a politically homeless pilgrim wandering aimlessly in search of a place to call home.

Zara's new collection is perfect for spring because of all the bright colors they have. I bought a few items that stood out in terms of colors, and these gorgeous pair of green heels which I adore that went with these green shorts. I went towards brighter colors instead of more pastel ones but if I find anything more subtle for spring I'll get them as well.

New Footage Shows Disturbing Conditions in Battery Cage Facilities
Humane Society International/Canada Calls on egg industry to take immediate steps to end the use of intensive confinement for laying hens
MONTREAL—In the wake of new footage showing laying hens confined in battery cages, Humane Society International/Canada is calling on the Canadian egg industry to establish a timeline to end the use of these cage housing systems. The footage, filmed by Mercy for Animals Canada and aired on CTV's W5 program on October 19th, shows birds confined in cages so small that they cannot even stretch their wings.
Sayara Thurston, campaigner with Humane Society International/Canada, stated: "Right now, tens of millions of laying hens in Canada are treated as egg-laying machines, crammed into tiny, barren cages for their entire lives. These images show that laying hens suffer in confinement systems that are currently considered standard industry practice. We applaud the provincial egg industry associations for passing resolutions to move away from extreme confinement in newly constructed facilities, and now call on them to take urgent action to end the use of battery cages in all existing operations."
Of the 26 million laying hens in Canada, approximately 95 percent of these birds are confined in wire cages known as battery cages. These cages give each hen less space than an average piece of writing paper to spend her entire life and prevent birds from expressing natural behaviours such as stretching their wings, perching, or laying their eggs in a nest.
HSI/Canada calls on the National Farm Animal Care Council to set a firm timetable for the phase-out of battery cages in Canada in its ongoing review of the Code of Practice for laying hens. HSI commends the Egg Farmers of Canada and some provincial producers associations for passing resolutions (some non-binding) to ensure that no new battery cage facilities are constructed as of December 31st, 2014. This is a positive step and HSI/Canada now urges the Canadian egg industry to implement that commitment and move away from intensive confinement systems in all facilities as soon as possible.
- In a battery cage, a hen will live out her entire adult life on less space than an average sheet of writing paper; she cannot spread her wings and will never have the chance to perch, dust bathe, or forage for food – all essential natural behaviors.
- Battery cage restrictive housing results in both physical and psychological problems; scientific studies have consistently shown that laying hens suffer in battery cages.
- Alternatives to battery cage housing offer much higher welfare levels for laying hens and are already used successfully in Canada and around the world.
- The European Union outlawed the use of conventional battery cages as of January 1st, 2012.
- In the United States, the United Egg Producers and the Humane Society of the United States are working jointly to end the use of barren battery cages.

Susan, I cannot reply to you directly as you are a No Reply Commenter, and I am not on Google +. Thank you for your visit and comment, blogging certainly does take a lot of time, and I find it discouraging when I've spent several hours doing a post then only get a couple of comments.
My photos did not really do the "after the rain beauty" justice. I think I needed a little sunshine to put some sparkle in the raindrops!

Your photos are exquisite! Especially the rain on the allium. I would have thought we'd be behind you but my allium are all done. Maybe because they're in a warm spot against the house.

The video was filmed, on February 8, 2011, at ME Cancun Hotel and Resort, Boulevard Kukulkan, km. 12, in the Hotel Zone. All of the wider, scenic footage is the landscape in and around Cancún and the Riviera Maya. The fortress-like ruins, shown in the opening scenes, is Tulum.
'Gone' is a track taken from Nelly's sixth album, '5.0'; and it is the sequel to his 2002 megahit, 'Dilemma'. It didn't garner the mainstream success, that its predecessor had enjoyed; but did moderately well in the R&B charts of several countries.
However, it had a great showing with add-ons, gathering 45 of them within two days of being released. It was the second most added tune on Urban Radio, and the third on both the Top 40/Mainstream and the Rhythmic Radios.
Tulum, on the Riviera Maya, glimpsed at the beginning of the video.

Many metals ate electrodeposited on aluminum alloys to obtain various decorative and functional finishes. The deposits applied for decorative finishes include chromium, nickel, copper, brass, silver, and gold, as well as alloys and oxidized modifications of these. In addition, silver is applied to improve surface conductivity; brass to facilitate adhesion of rubber, copper, nickel or tin for assembly by soft soldering; chromium to reduce friction and impart wear resistance, zinc to lubricate threaded parts, and tin to reduce friction on bearing surface.
It has long been recognized that aluminum and its alloys require specific surface preparation for successful electro deposition. Such special treatment is necessary because of the high position of aluminum in the electromotive force series and because of its relatively impervious and rapidly formed natural oxide film. Many procedures for plating on aluminum have been presented in some literature, most of them falling into one of the following categories:
1. Surface roughening or roughening plus metal deposition by immersion before electroplating.
2. Anodic oxidation followed by electrode position in the pores of the coating.
3. Direct zinc plating before plating with other metals.
4. Immersion deposition of zinc before plating with other metals.
5. Immersion of tin or nickel before plating with other metals.
The zinc immersion procedure was long considered the most practical and economical of the various processes and accordingly, has seen the greatest commercial application. In general, immersion process require less time and equipment, are less critical to control and have wider applicability than other known methods.

I think you will enjoy this video about my favorite bagel bakery in Montreal.
How bagels came to be this way in
Some people have another explanation. They point out that other cities prohibit wood-burning commercial ovens, because of the fire hazard. Such ovens burn continuously with an unregulated open flame -you can't turn them off, and you can't turn them down. So
Bagels are one of those foods that have a certain mystique about them. Because they are readily available in most every city now, people just buy them and never think about making them. However, if you have had TRULY amazing bagels like these before, baked in this style, you will find it nearly impossible to find them anywhere other than Montreal and hence you must make them at home or increase your frequent flyer miles many times over. I have to say that before I started making them myself, every trip to Montreal included a suitcase for the bagels I would run out to St. Viateur Bakery and buy fresh from the morning of our departure. If you live on the mainland, you can order them online from St. Viateur. Technology is amazing, really. But if you live in Hawaii like me, you are going to have to learn to make them, do without or drop by on baking day.
One note about sweeteners: Professional bakers once relied on honey, since it carries its own characteristic bouquet. Over the years, the price of honey has increased, so now many bakeries use light or dark malt syrup (available in some health-food stores and in those that stock beer-making supplies). Still, you should use honey in the formula and then add the malt syrup to the water. Here in Hawaii we have an abundance of wonderful local honey and the malt syrup has to be shipped in, so honey is preferred and actually about the same cost.
Note about toppings: You can saute finely chopped onions or garlic and add to the top of these as I did, though then they are not authentic Montreal Style. You could also incorporate cheese or sun dried tomatoes if you want American Style. That is not my style though.
Preparation time: 45 minutes Cooking time: 25 minutes but I find the flavor is better if you retard the fermenting process by refrigerating the dough. If you want to take this extra step, make the dough at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours before you plan on baking them.
1 1/2 cups water, room temperature
2 packages dry quick-rising yeast (or 1 1/2 ounces fresh yeast)
1 teaspoon sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup honey
5 cups or more flour (preferably bread flour)
3 quarts water for boiling
1/3 cup honey or malt syrup
Sesame or poppy seeds for sprinkling on top. These are the only toppings seen in Montreal, but of course if you like onions or garlic or anything else, they can be added instead of the seeds or in combination with them.
1.In a large mixing bowl or in the bowl of an electric mixer that has a dough hook, blend together the water, yeast, sugar and salt. Stir in the whole egg, the yolk, oil and 1/2 cup honey, and mix well.
2.Add the 5 cups flour, and mix until the dough is too stiff to mix by hand. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface (if using electric mixer, attach dough hook), and knead to form a soft, supple dough. Add a bit more flour as needed to prevent dough from getting too sticky. It should be tacky, but not sticky.
3.When the dough is smooth and elastic, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover with a sheet of plastic wrap or with a plastic bag.
4.Let the dough rest about 20 minutes. Punch it down, and divide into 18 equal portions. Pour the water into a large pot, along with the remaining 1/3 cup honey or malt syrup, and heat to boiling. Cover, reduce the heat, and allow to simmer while preparing the bagels.
5.Shape the dough portions into bagels or doughnutlike rings by elongating each portion into an 8- to 10-inch coil that is 3/4 inch thick. Fold the ends over each other, pressing with the palm of one hand and rolling back and forth gently to seal. This locks the ends together and must be done properly or the bagels will open while being boiled. Let the bagels rest 15 minutes on a baking sheet with parchment or silpat.
6.Preheat oven to 550 degrees. If you have a pizza stone pre-heat it in the oven. Bring the water back to a boil and remove the lid. Have bowls of poppy seeds and sesame seeds nearby.
7.When the water is boiling, use a slotted spoon, and add three bagels to the water. As they rise to the surface, turn them over, and let them boil an additional minute before removing them and quickly apply the seeds or other toppings. Continue boiling the bagels in batches of three until all have been boiled and seeded.
8.Just before baking, turn the temperature down to 450 degrees. Arrange the boiled bagels on a baking sheet, and bake on the lowest rack of oven until they are medium brown, approximately 25 minutes. Or using a peel covered with semolina, place the bagels directly onto a pre-heated pizza stone and bake in batches. Allow the oven to regain some of the temperature lost before adding the 2nd batch. Remove from the oven. Once cooled, the bagels can be placed in a plastic bag, sealed and frozen.
Yield: 18 bagels. NOTE: If not using the dough immediately, refrigerate it after it has been kneaded. Bagel making can be resumed up to a day later. Allow the dough to return to room temperature, and continue with step 4.

About this item
I've invented a new pastime. I call it Hedgerow Russian Roulette. It involves randomly eating fruits and berries I find in bushes along the side streets of West Hampstead. My reasoning is that I'd be bloody unlucky to find any single berry deadly enough to kill me. It's not really the sort of game I'd want to play with the kids, but it makes my solitary perambulations so much more entertaining. And the beauty of wondering if that small purple berry will dissolve your liver is that it takes your mind off those deeper issues - deeper even than your liver. The imponderables. But now it suddenly strikes me as odd that we call them the imponderables, when these are precisely the things you spend your life pondering. Stumble with Anthony McGowan from minor embarrassment to small-scale catastrophe to improbable fiasco.

2017 is the year that I go out of my way to do something different as often as I can. Just a quick recap of things that I did in 2016 that I haven't done before:
- Bought a new house.
- Bought a new (not used) car.
- Paid $2000 in medical costs for my dog (ugh!).
- Started my path to acquiring my Bachelor's degree.
Geez… that's not a very long list is it? Well, 2017 is going to be different. What is the motto of my blog? Life is about experiences. Yes. It's time to make this priority, new experiences and new memories to remember.

Okay, first I was mesmerized by the perfection of the snowmen cookies in the inspiration photo and then I scrolled down and saw the perfection of your card. Wow...it looks fantastic.

And now Everett Ducklair has human feet, what is this, come on!
Ducklair is an alien, maybe his feet change ;)!ReplyDelete
I'm a bit confused with Everett Ducklair. He has children and is married,working as a scientist - therefore I assume he should be grown up. But later on earth he's being adopted and raised by two humans. I don't understand this - especially as both ideas were introduced in the same issue...Replies
I guess everyone assumed he was a kid because he's a midget.Delete
But who knows how Coronians work.
I just assumed that Coronians looked young. Considering that we know he lives long enough to be, what 200? It's not unreasonable.Delete
Yeah, I just assumed that their lifespan is a lot longer, so they also age slower.Delete

I was all set to donate a fair isle pullover sweater vest that I never wear but decided to make a cover for my heating pad instead. It was so easy requiring only two seams, one on the left side and one at the top. I was able to utilize the two finished edges of the garment at the bottom and top right using the underarm banding. I am so happy and can hardly wait to use it. I usually turn it on a few minutes before I jump into bed in the fall and winter. I used the other half for a cozy for my hot water bottle. I have been very busy cleaning out closets and doing general reorganizing. The nesting season will be here soon. xo

It seems like a long time ago now that this photo was taken. It was taken the day before Noah was born, the day before I was officially a "mother". The desire in my heart had been there a long time before and I'm so thankful to God for blessing me with this journey of motherhood.
The hand and foot picture of my breech Noah…I knew from when he was growing inside me that this little one would grow to be determined…
love being a big brother (mostly…apart from when he needs alone time without Byron following his every move:)…
and have a vivid imagination!
When I embarked on this journey of motherhood I had no idea what the journey would involve. I'm thankful that every step of the way I have had God's constant guidance to help me make the many and varied decisions that this ministry of motherhood entails.
Tomorrow, I start a new journey with Noah….that of being teacher. But, you know that journey started when he was born and is just continuing now in another form. Noah is keen to get started on his "school" work. He has asked many times when am I going to finally teach him to read and write….sneakily I have been teaching him how to read since the first time I read him a book I'm looking forward to starting this journey. I'm thankful for God's guidance and strength and looking forward to where these uncharted waters will take us.Bon voyage!

Love those insurance companies
Now they want your doctor to help them get rid of you.
Now they want your doctor to help them get rid of you.
The public response to the overwhelming power and influence of insurance companies should not be to amplify their power through mandated insurance coverage. Such initiatives would be a gross misapplication of resources.
Instead, train new professionals so as to better meet the demand for services.
Meanwhile, this is day 10 of a 7 to 10 day window of time to get news from a biopsy (skin thing). And I have no insurance. I have to pay in cash. Ain't life fun, like a game of chance.
Best wishes for a good outcome. There will be those here who would say you should have thought about insurance before you decided to have skin.
Not to worry...they screw the stock-holders as well as the patients and somewhere along the line Dr.s also take a screwing. Only in Amerika..you gotta love it.

This is a favourite recipe in our house and has never disappointing guests. It is rich and tasty with lots of shitake mushrooms and Chinese red dates.
Chinese red dates are not related to common dates so if you cannot get hold of them then leave them out. You can get them in most Asian grocers and they come dried, fresh and candied and may also be known as jujubes.
This dish is best made with a stewing cut of meat that has lots of connective tissue so that the meat is succulent and unctuous. I used shin beef this time and it was amazing.
These are the dried Chinese red dates and you can see they are nothing like common dates. They do have small seeds but they are not too hard (a bit like peppercorns but not as big) and I generally let people know to expect them so they do not get a fright.
The recipe uses Chili Bean sauce and I have included a picture so that you know what you are looking for. It is a really tasty sauce and will add a hint of chilli and lots of flavour to any dish. Some supermarkets sell it and Asian Grocers.
Traditionally the recipe uses yellow rock sugar but any sugar will do.
Braised Beef with Red Dates
2 Tbs Oil
1 kg Stewing Beef
4 Cloves of Garlic
4 Tbs Grated Ginger
2 Tbs Chilli Bean Sauce
2 Diced Tomatoes
3 Tbs Shaoxing Wine
2 Tbs Yellow Rock Sugar (or other sugar)
2 Tbs Soy Sauce
1 Tbs Oyster Sauce
500 ml Beef stock or water
16 Chinese Red Dates
1 Packet of sliced dried shitake mushrooms
Crush your garlic, grate your ginger, dice your tomatoes and measure all the other ingredients into a bowl.
Heat a heavy based pan to a medium high heat and dice your beef into large chunks. Once the pan is hot add the oil and brown the meat in batches and set to the side. Return all the meat to the pan once browned and then all of the other ingredients. Bring to the boil then reduce to a low simmer and cook at a low simmer for 2 - 3 hours or until the meat is melting and tender. When finished the dish is ready the sauce will be reduced and thick.
Serve with rice and steamed Asian greens.

A newly established business is called startup. A start is a young company that is just beginning to develop. Startups are usually small and initially financed and operated by a handful of organizers or one individual. Startup companies offer a product or service that is not currently being offered elsewhere in the market, or that the founders believe is being offered in an inferior manner.
Note: recently Indian government set a program called" startup India" was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 5 April 2016 to support entrepreneurship among women and SC&ST communities.
You may observe now a day's many startups are coming into the market, in other words, it became a culture called "startup culture".
And also we are observing that so many startups at the level of starting are being collapsed.
The reason behind the several startups/businesses collapsing is that most of the entrepreneurs are not aware of what business suits for them thus they are not choosing the right business which suits for them. And according to the survey 90% of startups that stall because of wrong choices made by the entrepreneurs.
Business seems easy but when the point comes electing a business is not easy as it seems. It is not only about what is working in the market, but also there are so many elements associated with it.
Below are the personal checklist for starting a profitable startup.
Analyzing Resources and Capabilities
It is better to analyze your skills, strengths and most of your limitations before starting a business. At the same time resources also play a vital role in a startup. Once you analyze your strengths and your limitations then you will get a clear picture of what you are capable of and what not. It is advisable to conduct a test of oneself before setting out is advantageous because it alerts you to come out of the worst case that can happen. Meanwhile, it adds buffer time to get things sorted which may lie out of your league.
Possibly Make Sure to Have a Mentor
Somewhere or here all of us have come across with mentors in our lives. The fact is that we all need a mentor. Connect with people those who are not of your association but of bigger and better association and ask them to become your mentor.
Mentors are disciplinarians that create necessary boundaries that we cannot set for ourselves. Discuss your plans with them; you do ask suggestions from them as they have greater skills and experience. Mentors provide information and knowledge. Mentors can see where we need to improve where we often cannot. Make sure to include them in your plan, so that you get early feedback about your concept which can do wonders in future. Mentors offer encouragement and help keep us going.
Alternately Keep Options
Once you analyze yourself then the very next step is discovering options. Remember that you do not stick to one option. When you are in the planning phase, make sure to have 3 or 4 options in your hand readily. Spend a time and analyze each option carefully. It is a time taking process but essential. Just plan each and every option and the select the one which suits you.
Keep Your Target In Sight
Now you are damn sure about what you need to do. Obviously, every business needs customers, so conducting a study of your target audience is not at all a bad idea.
Follow them, follow the market and analyze what make customers happy, and what language do they use, what are their purchasing habit and patterns, actually, where do they stay geographically, find out the customers dilemmas do they have and how your idea is best suited for them. Inspecting all these will give you strong understanding about your audience which then helps in winning them.
Analyze Competition
Follow your competitors and analyze their market activities, their social media activities and other channels that you may discover. Social media is the best to understand what your competitors are doing. Create a list of those activities and analyze what engagement they are receiving from those activities. This will give a fair view of what you can take advantage of upon.
Channelizing Income Flow
First of all, plan how to monetize through your business.to operate a business you need money and every time you may not shed it from your pocket.
Create a plan for money that inflow to you, make sure to use and invest and use it wisely.
The main use of testing is that makes your product/services much better. The very first thing is that you have to test by yourself by creating a protocol. Find the missing links and always remember one thing treat you as a customer. Include the missing links and hand it to over to your target audience to test it. Make it free because this will boost your brand early on, by this your audience come to know that you exist. Collect their feedbacks and go thoroughly through them by this you can make more optimal on the basis of feedbacks you collected.
Draw A Marketing Plan
To step into the market you need to draw a marketing plan initially. Without any marketing plan you can't knock out the market, instead, you will hit the wall and most probably collapse.
This is where your competitive analysis comes in, plan each and every step right from the beginning of the market to numerous campaigns that you have planned. Select the right kind of marketing that you need to promote your business. Influence social media as well as, because you can discover most of your target audience over there and keep them engaged and interact with your business. Allocate a budget to execute your marketing plan.
Business is similar to farming and what you are doing here is sowing seeds that will blossom if take care of. Ensure you follow these steps before you set out on your quest to start a business as they will pay off in every run of your business. And when things get going your way, be ready to harvest.

Sometimes people will ask me: "how do you pick the books and authors that you choose to feature on your program?" The answer isn't complicated. I look for books that are compelling, entertaining, well-written.
Frank Wheeler Jr. recently published "The Wowzer." It is his first published book. I started to read it and was immediately drawn in to this story. Our narrator is Jerry, a deputy sheriff in a rural county in the Ozarks. Jerry has a unique perspective on the world. As we look through his eyes at the reality that he sees we are drawn in to his life.
Jerry is a corrupt cop and a stone cold killer. He still lives with his grandmother. Jerry's girlfriend is a doctor. She has no idea that Jerry is living this double life as a law enforcer and a law breaker. You see, Jerry is a highly functioning sociopath.
And the author performs an incredible feat in this book; he makes us sympathize with Jerry. In Wheeler's story this strange damaged character becomes almost lovable. In this interview we discover some of the ways that this story came about. That is compelling tale in itself.

I took a day off last Friday to spend time with my sister and niece who were visiting for the weekend. I needed those 3 days, I really did. It was very satisfying to accomplish some of the things on my very lengthy to-do list. A list that encompasses everything from doing something with my old pension plan, to finding the perfect pair of fall boots. But because it was a weekend spent with an almost-13 year old, I stuck to the fun stuff, avoiding those boring brokerage firm calls entirely.
1. Get to the LACMA soon so I don't miss the David Hockney exhibit
So glad I made it. This was a perfect way to spend a Friday afternoon away from work. It made me want to paint, and I pretty much never want to paint. A side benefit of this trip was that I got to see the La Brea tar pits. And learn that in the park at the LACMA they have Friday night movies on the lawn, with food and wine.
2. Visit the Paul & Joe for Target "pop-up" store on Melrose Place before it closes
I have no excuse for not going in here sooner. I walk past it every day on the way home. Part of me was afraid of the potential wallet damage; part of me wanted to save it to do with my niece once I knew she was coming. Serves me right. The collection was very picked over and I couldn't find any of the things I'd seen online that I liked in my size. And I had underestimated how a communal dressing room can kill a 13-year old's shopping buzz. But I did leave with 2 new pairs of pants and a striped jacket that struck me as a little dandy, but for $39, I'll explore my foppish side.
3. Try on a pair of skinny jeans
I read on a fashion blog recently that Old Navy and Express had skinny jeans that were good low-budget options for this trend that I have been more than a little curious (and conflicted) about. I've seen them look great on a few people, but I feel I may not be those people. When we found ourselves at the Beverly Center this weekend, I decided there was no better time to try than while in the company of my favorite young fashionista. Who I knew would be brutally honest with me. They weren't bad, she gave me the thumbs up, provided I paired them with the right shoes (I have no idea where she comes from), but I can't get over the fact that my legs look like giant carrots in them. Perhaps I should give them another try on a day when I am not suffering from bloaty mid-menstrual psychosis.
