Now the best walnuts are the Persian Walnuts or Royal Walnut, that comes from Balkans, Southwest & Central Asia. In English speaking nations they are also referred to as the English Walnut or Common Walnut. These walnuts are known for their delicious nuts. Other species include the Black Walnut, Butternut, Japanese Walnut & Hind's Black Walnut apart from various hybrids.
I spent a part of my childhood in Kashmir living in Srinagar in the Badami Bagh Cantonment. The entire areas was full of different trees. There were Mulberry, Apple, Almond and Walnut trees all around and being the naughty kids that we were, one could find us climbing those trees. Armed with a pen knife and a bag, it was good fun to have walnuts that were still not dried. The akhrot chutney was special as one of my classmates usually got it from home alongwith other Kashmiri goodies, needless to say his lunchbox was a much sought after item. I stumbled upon the recipe to make this dip some days back and since we were planning on a Kashmiri meal this chutney made its way to the dining table and once again into my life.
Kashmiri Akhrot ki Chutney
Walnuts, shelled - 50 gm
Red Chili Powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt - To Taste
Yogurt - 60 ml
1. Put the shelled walnuts, salt and red chili powder in a grinder and grind until smooth.
2. Transfer this powder to a bowl. Add the yogurt and mix well.
3 Chill before serving.
Akhrot Muli ki chutney (Walnut Radish Dip) -Add 60 gm shredded radish to this chutney. Mix well till the chutney coats all the shredded radish.

Pub chain lodges plan for new hotel and retail units for Diss
A national pub chain has lodged plans to build a 27-bedroom hotel in Diss.
Marstons, which owns the Thatchers Needle, aims to build it on land to the rear of the pub in Park Road, behind the bus station.
And five new retail units for the site have also been proposed.
While no stores to fill the proposed new retail spaces have been identified, it is anticipated a small area of floor space will be used for food sales.
The development will see a total of 153 car parking spaces and 20 cycle spaces for the
Planning permission for a 60-bed hotel and public house was granted in 2011. While the Thatchers Needle has been open since 2013, the hotel plans were abandoned.
Marston's bid to build four non-food retail units at the site was turned down in 2015, and again on appeal in 2016.
The design and access statement on behalf of the pub chain for their latest application claims two meetings with South Norfolk Council, and three with Diss Town Council – including public feedback – had led to the current design.
"The aim of the project is for the proposed buildings character, appearance, quality of design and massing to reflect the local context and sit comfortably in proximity to the Diss Conservation Area," it reads.
"In a town with such unique character it is important that every building is of high quality and contributes in a sensitive manner."
Access to the site is from the current entry and exit points for the pub in Park Road. Deliveries would be achieved from a service road to the rear of the retail units.
The application, reference 2017/2853, can be viewed online at www.south-norfolk.gov.uk/planningn What do you think? Would you welcome a hotel to the town? Which stores would you like to see in the new retail spaces, if they are approved?

The Punisher Netflix series gets a bullet-riddled poster
One of the most exciting elements to come out of DAREDEVIL season two was the inclusion of The Punisher, played with cool stoicness and ferocity by Jon Bernthal. Fans loved his interpretation and depiction, especially the fact they had him murdering folks like a mo-fo. Now he's getting his own solo series, a series for which a sweet fan poster was made, to the point where I think Marvel should just pay the man (artist Giuseppe Spinelli). And yes, it is appropriately bullet-riddled.
Though there's no exact release date we know the show will debut this this year. THE DEFENDERS comes out August 18, so we can probably expect it sometime towards the end of the year, considering we have yet to see any sort of footage that would hint it's coming this summer.
Bernthal's Punisher was perhaps the best part of the second season of DAREDEVIL. It gave the series a greater sense of grittiness and, needless to say, glorious violence. His portrayal of the vigilante is the version of the character we never got from the movies, which spent less time getting into the meat of the character and more time splattering henchman meat on the screen.
THE PUNISHER debuts on Netflix this year.

We had watermelon leftover from the margaritas. I had bought mint that we ended up never using. I found feta in my fridge which I have no clue where it came from but it was there saying, "Use me, use me."
I find seasonal salads completely overrated. Who decided you can only have a watermelon, feta and mint salad in the summer? Or a strawberry spinach candied walnut salad in the spring? Or something with butternut squash during the fall? And it's so bloody cold in the winter that no one in their right mind wakes up and says, "Oh, today would be a perfect day for salad!" They don't. They are thinking, blimey, it's bloody freezing outside, my coffee warmth is going to where off soon, let me go make some soup to warm my insides up.
Watermelon, Feta, and Mint Salad
3 cups watermelon, cubed or balled
4 oz feta, crumbled
3 mint leaves, torn
In a medium bowl, gently combined ingredients.
Made 6.
I really didn't think these flavors would work. I thought it would come out horrible.
But it didn't. The flavors meshed so well that you forget exactly what combination of food you're eating.
The mintiness, the saltiness, and the pop of sweetness.
It was amazing.
I would definitely have this as a side salad at a picnic. Or as an appetizer. Or a snack. Or an elegant side for a brunch.

text: A high-profile rape case lands the prosecuting attorney in more trouble than the victim or the defendants ever dreamed of. Rookie model Ali Duncan, 17, sure didn't pick the right people to get assaulted by: her former lover George Fonseca, ex- footballer Marquis Lamont, and moneyed boutique owner Klaus Ruffini. Handed this hot potato by a see-no-evil Florida state's attorney, Miami prosecutor Sam Hagen presses for indictments, and in no time at all--okay, it takes practically forever--his key witness, pretty-boy model Charlie Sullivan, is murdered. Can Sam make a case with a dead witness and a victim who's only too eager to drop her complaint for a fat Ruffini settlement--and who's no poster girl anyway? It may not matter, because the next victim is George Fonseca. Sam doesn't realize (though the gentle reader will) that the murders have less to do with what happened to Ali Duncan than what happened a year ago to Sam's son Matthew, a.k.a. aspiring model Stavros, a rebellious kid who mixed liquor, drugs, and his new motorcycle into a suicidal cocktail. As Sam drifts away from his obsessively grieving wife Dina and back into the arms of his onetime lover Caitlin Dorn, a model-turned-fashion- photographer who's survived as long as she has by knowing all the wrong people, Sam's former partner in war and work, Frank Tolin, warns Sam that Caitlin knows more than she's ever admitted about Matthew's death. But does Sam listen? And will he deserve everything he gets? Parker (Suspicion of Guilt, p. 18, etc.) moves toward Dominick Dunne's soapy territory, but without Dunne's (or Parker's own previous) knack of keeping the story clear and compelling by taming subplots and keeping minor characters vivid and distinct. A painfully obvious snoozer. (First printing of 50,000; Literary Guild Selection; author tour)

For more than two decades, the world's variegated nations were — impossibly — trying to undertake a common (but differentiated) journey toward some grand top-down solution. The outcome that emerged in Paris, in contrast, is implicitly a century-long journey, with 195 countries pursuing a safer human relationship with the climate system, but taking varied paths at varied paces to get there.
The new architecture is a far better fit for the momentous, "super wicked" challenges that are emerging in trying to supply societies with adequate, affordable energy without overheating the climate. I've written an article for Sunday Review offering more on this.
Here's an excerpt from the piece, which touches on roles played by figures ranging from Pope Francis to Bill Gates:
As legions of bleary-eyed diplomats, environmentalists and lobbyists make their way home across the planet, you'll hear proclamations that COP 21, as the meeting was called, was a historic turning point, and a profound failure.
Both will be right, depending on the scale of reference.
For the first time, even before the opening gavel, more than 180 nations, large and small, submitted plans — yes, voluntary ones — to divert from their carbon-based business as usual. The United States and China guaranteed progress by stepping together a year ago in Beijing after more than a decade of "you first" fights, laying out detailed domestic plans to curb emissions.
The momentum created by such commitments spurred dozens of nations, joined by the World Bank and other influential institutions, to pledge to cut subsidies for fossil fuels. Also, while poor nations see the amounts as insufficient, powerful countries, including China (which long hid behind its status as a developing country), have pledged money and technical aid to help shield the world's most vulnerable communities from climatic and coastal hazards.
And for the first time, 20 governments and a passel of billionaires led by Bill Gates announced plans to ramp up long-lagging investments in basic research and development on clean energy — like advancing cheap, extensive battery storage to maximize the potential of solar power, safer nuclear plant designs and even technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The need for a research boost was long played down by climate campaigners. They argued that the only missing factor had been the political will to move forward. But the scale and complexity of making a rapid shift from fossil fuels to clean energy will require much more than marches and votes.
After two decades of false starts and dead ends, including the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, the task has become to work steadily at limiting the odds of worst-case outcomes rather than "solving the climate crisis" — which was once the central meme of climate campaigners. Urgency is being melded with patience as we confront the journey ahead. [Please read the rest.]
The wonderful drawing at the top of this post is by Perrin Ireland, a talented, playful science illustrator who, on behalf of the Natural Resources Defense Council, kept a visual journal explaining the Paris proceedings.
[Please be sure to read Justin Gillis's fine news analysis, "Climate Accord Is a Healing Step, if Not a Cure," for a roundup of scientists' reactions to the agreement.]
[Politico has a good close-focus report on one "shall" that nearly blew up the talks in the final hours. With that in mind, it's fun to have a look at the Paris Agreement graph showing the drop in "shalls" over time:]
Where does the word "shall" appear in the text and how often? See here: https://t.co/78t6xWeWQP #unfccc #cop21 #data https://t.co/0bOHGS8HqR
I have to conclude with this tweet from NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, the commander of the International Space Station:
#Congratulations #COP21 Delegates on your historic agreement! #Earth thanks you and so do I! #YearInSpace https://t.co/zb3KiXaueC

'Coronation Street' bosses have revealed a brand new promotional clip, which celebrates the show's 57 history.
The 'Then, Now & Forever' campaign has been developed from an idea by executive creative director Tony Pipes, and depicts some of the most iconic scenes in the soap's history, including both the moments themselves and an insight into how they were made.
These scenes include Hilda Ogden's classic "woman Stanley, woman!" line and Vera Duckworth throwing her husband Jack's clothes out of the window.
A number of more recent moments feature too, including Roy and Hayley Cropper dancing in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom and Kylie Platt's dramatic death.
The 'Corrie' team recreated some of the moments at the soap's current set, while others were filmed at Shepperton Studios.
The costumes were recreated with the help of additional archive footage, with actors cast to match the original performances.
Executive producer, Kieran Roberts, has shared his joy following the promo's reveal, stating: "We're delighted to have such a brilliant marketing campaign celebrating Coronation Street's past, present and future.
"These promos are simply stunning and I'm sure viewers will love them as much as they love 'Corrie' itself."

Anne of Windy Poplars (Anne Shirley Series # 4)
Language: English
Pages: 402
Format: PDF / Kindle (mobi) / ePub
Anne Shirley has left Redmond College behind to begin a new job and a new chapter of her life away from Green Gables. Now she faces a new challenge: the Pringles. They're known as the royal family of Summerside - and they quickly let Anne know she is not the person they had wanted as principal of Summerside High School. But as she settles into the cozy tower room at Windy Poplars, Anne finds she has great allies in the widows Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty – and in their irrepressible housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. As Anne learns Summerside's strangest secrets, winning the support of the prickly Pringles becomes only the first of her delicious triumphs.
Cette année s'envole ma jeunesse
years I thought I hated you…and I think death would show it to them. I'm glad I found out in life. And I have found out there are some decent Pringles…dead ones. Last night when I went down late for a drink of water I found Aunt Kate buttermilking her face in the pantry. She asked me not to tell Chatty…she would think it so silly. I promised I wouldn't. Elizabeth still comes for the milk, though the Woman is pretty well over her bronchitis. I wonder they let her, especially since old Mrs.
too frivolous for her age. The number of secrets I have to keep at Windy Poplars is aging me before my time. I wonder if I buttermilked my nose if it would banish those seven freckles. By the way, did it ever occur to you, sir, that I had a "lovely creamy skin"? If it did, you never told me so. And have you realized to the full that I am "comparatively beautiful"? Because I have discovered that I am. "What is it like to be beautiful, Miss Shirley?" asked Rebecca Dew gravely the other day…when I

"Well, if ever you do you are at liberty to use any of our stories you like, perhaps with the names disguised. And now what do you say to a game of parchesi?" "I'm afraid it is time I was going…" "Oh, my dear, you can't go home tonight. It's pouring cats and dogs…and listen to the wind. I don't keep a

"You were knocked down by a team of runaway horses on the mainland road," said Miss Shirley. "I…I wasn't quick enough. I thought you were killed. I brought you right back here in the flat and your…this gentleman telephoned for a doctor and nurse." "Will I die?" said little Elizabeth. "No, indeed, darling. You were only stunned and you will be all right
way. It's been an adventure to be her friend. I hope Pierce Grayson realizes what a daughter he has…and I think he does. He sounded very grateful and repentant. "I didn't realize she was no longer a baby," he said, "nor how unsympathetic her environment was. Thank you a thousand times for all you have done for her." I had our map of fairyland framed and gave it to little Elizabeth for a farewell keepsake. I'm sorry to leave Windy Poplars. Of course, I'm really a bit tired of living in a trunk,

Bohemian. The copyright of the title rests with Tanuja, the firebrand daughter of the beautiful actress Shobhana Samarth. In an era when actresses refused to fling off the Sati Savitri garb even after pack-up, it took her seconds to slip into her puckish natural avatar. Neither did she find the need to dress her drink up with cola or slink in the washroom for quick puffs. "I've never done what I didn't want to do. This is me, take it or leave it. If you criticise me, it's your problem. Don't come near me, go away!" she getures articulately.
As a performer too, she broke new ground by adopting the understated. No coquettish overdrive here. A buddy to her co-stars, a non-rival to her pouting contenders, she was indifferent to both convention and competition. "What came my way came my way. I had no ambitions of becoming No 1. But I've carved my own niche. I'm not run of the mill," the 70-year-old actress claims.
In fact, so dispassionately does she view her trek that it takes much cajoling for her to do a flashback. "I don't watch my films or anyone else's, except Kajol's. Once it's done, it's over. I don't dwell on the past." But through the course of the conversation you realise her diffidence doesn't stem from disdain but of having gone beyond… way beyond the wiles of showbiz and the shenanigans of tin gods…
The second daughter of actress Shobhana Samarth and director Kumar Singh, Tanuja faced the camera when she was around five. That too in their home production launch for older daughter Nutan, Hamari Beti (1950). Baby Tanuja, was 'a cooperative kid'. "I told my mother that I'd come on the set only if she gave me lemonade. She agreed but at the same time warned, 'Only one!'" laughs she.
In the course of time, her parents separated. After a stint in Switzerland to spruce up her language and social skills, 16-year-old Tanuja entered Hindi cinema. Her debut was Chhabili (1960), produced by Shobhana Pictures followed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Mem-Didi in (1961). But the defining arc was Kidar Sharma's Hamari Yaad Aayegi (1961), which had the Mubarak Begum classic Kabhi tanhaiyon mein hamari yaad aayegi. "Kidarji trained me to speak Hindi, how to face the camera," she says.
It was her subdued act in Guru Dutt's Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi (1966) that won her notice. "Guru Dutt was a sensitive artiste. We grew to be friends. We were both avid readers," recalls Tanuja an eclectic reader. "My mother would say, 'You'll even read the toilet paper if it had something printed on it!' she laughs. "Guru Dutt believed exploiting the body was sexuality. But sensuality was far more subtle."
Next the musical Jeene Ki Raah (1969) with Jeetendra became a surprise hit. In the same year, she won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress for Paisa Ya Pyar. She also sizzled in Jewel Thief, the song Raat akeli hai being a chartbuster. But she hit big time in the early '70s with the Rajesh Khanna starrer Haathi Mere Saathi. Films like Mere Jeevan Saathi with Khanna followed with the song O mere dil ke chain still being a remix delight. Do Chor with Dharmendra established her as a full-fledged masala heroine. Remind her of the glorious phase and she says, "It's all about the director. I never interfered even if I had to give 40 retakes. I've never worked with a director who didn't know what he was doing. And if I happened to, then I'd end up doing my own thing," she confides.
With Dharmendra, With Amitabh Bachchan in Pyaar Ki Kahani and With Sanjeev Kumar in Anubhav
Above all, it was Imtihan (1974), which endeared Tanuja to the audiences. Based on To Sir With Love (1967), she played an emotionally and physically vulnerable character in it. "The director, Madan Sinha, was a photographer. So he used filters in the film, a first of sorts. Sadly, he died before the release." She's all praise for co-star Vinod Khanna. "He was no altu faltu, he didn't talk rubbish. It was satisfying to interact with a co-star who was at par with you mentally."
Tanuja also happened to be Amitabh Bachchan's first heroine in Ravikant Nagaich's Pyaar Ki Kahani (1971). Years later she went on to play his bhabhi in Khuddar. "I first met Amit at a club at the Taj. He looked handsome and was dancing with his then girlfriend model Sheila Jones. I asked him, 'Why don't you join films?' He replied, 'I've come here to join films'," she recalls.
One film which won Tanuja acclaim was Basu Bhattacharya's black and white Anubhav, opposite Sanjeev Kumar. As a woman pining for her husband's love she had Geeta Dutt sing memorable songs for her - Meri jaan mujhe jaan, Koi chupke se aake and Mera dil jo mera hota! "When Basuda approached Sanjeev and me for Anubhav, we were both busy with our films. Basuda talked my mother into letting him shoot in my Usha Kiran (one of Mumbai's tallest buildings) flat, which was absolutely new then. Naturally, I disapproved of," she frowns in jest. "The film required just 25 days of shooting but it stretched over three years given our hectic schedules. I remember Sagar Sarhadi penning the dialogue on the set. We'd tell him what we wanted to express in English and he'd quickly write that out in Hindi." About Sanjeev she says, "He was seedha saadha, a gentle soul and a fabulous actor. If he scored 20 in a scene I'd try and reach 21."
She's extremely fond of Dharmendra with whom she shares a special relationship. In fact, he's the only 'brother' she has made in the industry thanks to an amusing incident. "We were shooting for Dulal Guha's Chand Aur Suraj. Dharam and I were drinking buddies and would have great fun. He even introduced me to his wife Prakash. Sunny (Deol) was just five then, while his daughter Lali was around six-months old," she narrates adding, "One day he tried to flirt with me. Taken aback, I slapped him and said, 'Besharam! I know your wife and you have the audacity to flirt with me'. Embarrassed he pleaded, 'Tanu, meri Maa, sorry bolta hoon! Please make me your brother'. I refused saying I was happy with my own brother (Jaideep)'. After much cajoling, I took a black thread and tied it around on his wrist," she laughs.
With Nitish Bhardwaj on the set of Pitruroon
Though she played mature roles in films like Kamchor, Yaarana, Prem Rog right up to Saathiya and Khakee, it was Bengali cinema, in which she takes prides. Deya Neya (1963), Anthony-Firingee (1967) and Rajkumari (1970) were her hits with Uttam Kumar. Her onscreen chemistry with Soumitra Chatterjee worked wonders for Teen Bhuvaner Parey and Prothom Kadam Phool (both in 1969). "The roles were meaty; the co-actors amazing and so were the directors. Anthony-Firingee runs houseful till date. It has great music," she beams.
Tanuja also gave noteworthy performances in Marathi films like Zaako, Unad Maina and more recently Nitish Bharadwaj's Pitruroon. She drew inspiration from her old maid Bhagirathi for her similarly named character in Pitruroon. "Bhagu, as we called her, had turned mad with grief after losing her husband and children in an accident. She had been brought home from the asylum by my grandmother. Grandma taught her to recite the pothis and treated her like family. When I came home late at night, she warmed my food, pressed my legs… all with unconditional love." The actor, who tonsured her head for this role of a widow, found it liberating. "There was no bothering about washing your hair or worrying about hair fall," she smiles.
On the personal front Tanuja has had her share of losses. She reminisces fondly about her late sister Nutan with whom the family once allegedly fostered animosity. "Didi was an excellent actress. Whereas I had no concentration. I learnt by just watching her films. Her demeanor, the way she interpreted the character was impressive," she shares. As individuals they were 'poles apart' but Tanuja insists they understood 'each other's humour'. "Didi was a bit of an introvert. She was closer to our sister Charu (an artiste). Later, she joined a satsang and I also began my spiritual journey. That was a common link between us." She insists Nutan was 'an old soul', "Bachpan se usske haathon mein chandan (sandalwood) ki khushboo aati thi. Her sweat smelled of chandan – even her nails had that fragrance."
With husband Shomu Mukherjee on their wedding day
A few years back, in 2008, Tanuja lost her husband/filmmaker Shomu Mukherjee. The duo had met on the set of his production Ek Baar Muskura Do and after a brief romance got married in 1973. The marriage didn't work out and they soon separated after the birth of daughters Kajol and Tanisha. Tanuja views his passing away with stoic strength, "I don't miss my husband. What is the point in telling a lie – 'Oh my husband, I miss him!' Bullshit. Yes, I loved him. I cared about him. But I know he's in a better place. He's happy where he is." She thinks aloud, "What if he had become an invalid? If your mind is sharp and your body doesn't move, what's the point of being alive? That would have been frustrating for him. In a way, I'm glad that he's gone and that he's at peace."
With daughter Kajol and mother Shobhana Samarth
Tanuja enjoys her changed equation with her daughters. "One is my mother, the other my grandmother. They look after me and even scold me. They've taught me to be patient. Like when I lose my temper, Kajol says, 'Why don't you lose it forever?'" She agrees they have inherited her candour. "My girls are like me. Saubat ka asar toh hoga hi. They were taught to think for themselves. I'm fortunate my girls chose me as their mother. It's believed the soul chooses the parent." A doting grandmother to Kajol's children she gushes, "Nysa is 10 but far more intelligent for her age. Yug is a bindaas, happy soul." For someone who doesn't ponder over the past, her present is green and lush. "I enjoy gardening, I like nature. That's why I've chosen to live in Lonavala. Please don't litter it. Please keep it garbage free," urges the President of Lonavala-Khandala Citizen's Forum. We hope her cause finds an effect!

Red Hawk Recovery is a fantastic support program for recovering addicts, providing a sober, safe, and structured environment to their clients. The founders of the program asked for Black Bear's help to create a logo that represented their mission. They wanted to incorporate the spiritual symbol of the hawk, and asked for a traditional but timeless feel.
We utilized a clean serif font paired with a beautiful, bright red and cool slate gray. Our design team enjoyed creating the minimal hawk image, and carried it over onto Red Hawk's print collateral as a design element. Black Bear is thrilled to be able to provide Red Hawk with their amazing new brand, and looks forward to watching them grow as an organization.

One day I knew I had a inhibition. I only dog-tired 4 work time with my plasma quarrier in my accurately hand. I had been stinging out patterns I had traced onto a piece of paper of bronze. These shapes were going to be my new drink array. Everyone complained to me that I didn't have a beverage table. I thought, "I'll display them" and began to body-build one.
Why receive a beverage array out of aluminiferous you ask? The rushed statement is that I wasn't by a long chalk of a journeyman at the case. On the new hand, I previously owned to dyer's rocket professionally and knew I could clear anything out of tinny. That is how it all began, fashioning a potable tabular array out of metallic.

This was not about conspiracy theories at all. While the voting problems in Ohio probably didn't add up to the 118,000 votes that Kerry needed to defeat Bush, there were plenty of documented problems. To my disappointment, the Chicago Tribune's article did not bother to include any information about the irregularities in its story, preferring to talk about the politicians who opposed the challenge. Electionline.org reached the same conclusion that Boxer and Tubbs Jones noted yesterday: the irregularites weren't widespread enough to change the results, but that doesn't mean that we should ignore them. Check out their report (PDF) for more details.
"Their intention in this whole process is merely to sow doubt and undermine public confidence in the electoral process itself," said Rep. Deborah Pryce (R-Ohio). The challenge is "no more than another exercise in their party's primary strategy to obstruct, to divide and to destroy," she said.
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) called the protest "a shame," while a White House spokesman said it was time for the country to move on not to "engage in conspiracy theories or partisan politics of this nature."
Better yet, look at the report (PDF) from Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Michigan) of the House Judiciary Committee. As a co-author of the Help America Vote Act of 2002, Conyers has a special interest in making sure elections are fair. The Republicans chose to ignore this report (as did much of the media), preferring to blast the Democrats for partisanship. The fact that they also were disrespecting a longtime colleague (Conyers has been in the House since 1964) didn't seem to matter much to them, either. Just imagine the outcry from the GOP propaganda machine if Democrats had treated a senior Republican similarly.
In a democracy, a citizen shouldn't have any reason to doubt whether his/her vote was counted. That's what this was really about, and any attempt to cast it as partisanship is disgraceful.

I'd like to thank Courtney Cantrell for posting this quote on facebook today. This is what we are living now.
"The America of my time line is a laboratory example of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies throughout all histories. A perfect democracy, a 'warm body' democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self-correction. It depends solely on the wisdom and self-restraint of citizens… which is opposed by the folly and lack of self-restraint of other citizens. What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self-interest as he sees it… which for the majority translates as 'Bread and Circuses.'
"'Bread and Circuses' is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, UNTIL THE STATE BLEEDS TO DEATH, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader—the barbarians enter Rome."
— Robert A. Heinlein
(emphasis added)
My question is, what comes next? What happens after democracy? For the barbarians are already within the gates–they are the ones addicted to the bread and circuses. Is anarchism next? Where do we go from here?

I'm glad to be blogging! I sit heated by the woodfire on this chilly June night looking over at 6 adorable ducklings. Yes, we have new friends on the farm! Also, 8 chickens and a couple roosters that are cared for by landmates. All are laying birds and they will also be in the fields soon to cultivate, fertilize, and eat slugs! It is feels right to have the addition of these birds as they will help close the system and make our farm more sustainable, balanced and joyous.
The veggies in your box were planted 1-3 months ago. We've seeded, transplanted, covered with remay and/or plastic, and worked alongside nature to make it happen. This early spring was super wet and we were in the ground the latest of my 5 years farming. Mid April through mid May brought dryer weather and we finally planted. As we near summer solstice, we can see the growth each day. The big garden is about to pop! Most of the summer crops are in as well.
We have a lovely crew of women farmin', and occasionally we get a great dude to help out. Mondays start off right with 4 of us: Jessica, who's out glowing 3 days a week doing an apprenticeship, Clea, spunky and positive who volunteered last year and is starting her own CSA and using 240 sq ft of the farm as one of her plots, and Joanna who cracks a funny and looking at her reminds me to have good posture. We work, eat beautiful farm lunches along the creek, and take breaks by bringing slugs to the ducklings. They love them!! We want them to really get a taste for them. Speaking of slugs, the populations seems less than last year, yet they have wiped out the first seeding of carrots, and some greens. Welcome to the Pacific Northwest, and they come in more sizes and colors each year it seems.
The soils seem healthy and balanced, as most of the crops are growing well and tilth is great. I'm excited that the tropical tomatoes, eggplant and peppers are under plastic this year. They're all in the ground, protected from the cold rain and chilly (for them) nights. I hope this helps keep them disease-free and increase yields. Speaking of disease we made a biodynamic prep horsetail tea #508. With an abundance of horsetail along the creek and at the end of the field, I'm psyched to use the liquid formula that will be sprayed as prevention to fungal diseases across the entire field.
Okay, I could go on and on. But it's late and tomorrow I have to get up early to harvest! Onto the contents of the CSA box, we have a classic spring box of lots of greens.
Kale-lacinato or red russian
Mild or Spicy Mustard
Salad Mix – white flowers are from arugula or yes from collard greens
Arugula – It is mature and has a kick! If you want to decrease spice at a sweetener or balsalmic to dressing or sauce.
Spinach – Sellwood Only, next week other sites
Garlic Scapes – These are the seed heads that shoot up from hardneck varieties. We pluck them to put the energy into the garlic bulb and they are some of the most succulent spring treats. Great raw chopped small in salad or sauteed or grilled with olive oil and salt.
Green Onions
Frittata with Spring Greens
Adapted from Epicurious.com
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 bunch of any combination of kale, mustard, arugula, spinach
- 2 garlic scapes
- 6 large eggs
- any herbs you like
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 ounces ricotta salata, crumbled (or fresh ricotta or goat cheese)
1. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Chop greens and scapes and in oil 2-5 minutes until cooked lightly.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon water.
4. Add the eggs and half the mint to the pan, season with the salt and pepper, and cook, lifting the edges with a spatula to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the bottom. When the frittata is partly cooked (7 to 10 minutes), sprinkle on the ricotta and transfer the pan to the oven.
5. Bake until puffed, golden, and set, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with the remaining mint to taste and serve.

19. Troubleshooting Your Codec: Rear Access Is Key. 8/30/12 by Dave Immer
Equipment gets mounted and positioned based on access to user controls, meters and info screens – all on the front panels. I recommend planning for the likelihood of component failure somewhere in your system and your involvement in identifying and fixing it. Rear access is key.
When you need to troubleshoot your codec, especially older ISDN models, access to rear panel cables, connectors, switches and indicator lights is often essential. If you have your equipment mounted in a tight inflexible space it will surely make your troubleshooting, already a stressful prospect, even more difficult. Position racks away from the wall. Leave room to rotate a component on a shelf. Leave a little slack in the cables.
Plan your studio setup to allow for rear-access to equipment. Admittedly this requires more room.
Let me know if you have questions or comments about this. Thanks,-Dave

First District Court Judge John Mitchell was holding off challenger Douglas Pierce during Tuesday's primary election after absentee ballots and 18 of 70 precincts were counted as of 11:45 p.m.
Mitchell had 4,937 votes while Pierce had 2,517.
Meanwhile, of the three revenue questions to voters in specific areas of Kootenai County during Tuesday's primary election, two were on pace to be approved and the third faced an uphill battle as of presstime.
• Spirit Lake voters considered a $1.8 million bond levy proposal for wastewater treatment improvements.
After absentee ballots were counted, 18 voters (72 percent) were in support while seven (28 percent) were against. A vote of at least 51 percent approval was needed for the proposal to pass
The bond proposed to add a 25 million-gallon lagoon, increase efficiencies to the land application irrigation system and enhance the biological treatment process.
The city last year imposed a growth moratorium that still is in effect due to sewer capacity issues.
The 40-year bond would increase the monthly sewer bill $2 per month to repay the construction loan.
The city also plans this summer to increase the sewer rate $3 per month for maintenance and operation of the system. That will be implemented even if the bond fails. A specific date has not been determined. The two increases would increase the monthly sewer bills a total of $5 from $26 to $31.
Communities in North Idaho with similar systems have rates of $45 to $50 per month.
Since the last improvement to the city's wastewater treatment facility in 2002, there has been a 57 percent increase in population growth, according to city officials. As a result, the facility is at capacity, which forced the city to issue a sewer moratorium on new growth.
The wastewater facility is a land-based system in which, after treatment, the effluent is irrigated onto agriculture fields and forest crops.
• Voters in the Northern Lake Fire District, which covers Hayden, Rathdrum and Hayden Lake, considered a $1.2 million permanent override levy.
After absentee votes and 18 of 70 precincts were counted, 964 (57.9 percent) were in support of the proposal while 702 (42.1 percent) were against).
A two-thirds approval vote is needed for the proposal to pass.
The proposal would allow the department to hire nine new firefighter paramedics and to keep an on-duty crew ready to roll at Station 3 on East Hudlow Road in the northeast portion of the district. At present, the station has no on-duty firefighters. The proposal would not pay for buildings or equipment.
A 28 percent increase in population over the past decade spurred an increase in calls for medical assistance and firefighting and the need for the funding, according to district officials.
The district last floated the idea of a permanent override levy in 2012, when in May and November of that year voters soundly rejected a $1.6 million ballot question.
• Nearly 400 homeowners south of Post Falls on the Spokane River were asked whether the Greenferry Water and Sewer District should issue and sell its water revenue bonds of up to $1.8 million to replace undersized and aging waterlines, improve fire protection and allow additional hookups.
After absentee votes were counted, 15 (79 percent) were in support and four (21 percent) against.
The measure required a simple majority vote (50 percent, plus one).
The cost per household in the Greenferry Water and Sewer District east of Spokane Street along Riverview is $15 per month, which has already been assessed on each household since 2016 for capital repairs and replacement.
With the proposal, there will be no increase in current rates, but the ballot item will allow the district to make major improvements all at once, rather than piecemeal.
If approved, the bids will go out immediately and construction would occur this summer.

The Authoritative Dictionary of IEEE Standard Terms [1] provides two definitions for the quality factor, or Q, of a resonant system. These definitions suggest a fundamental relationship between the fractional bandwidth of a resonant system and the ratio of stored energy to dissipated energy within that system. We show this relationship is in general not true. The success of this relationship, however, inspires the research that follows. We seek to fine a more general, and fundamental, relationship between the energy within a system and the terminal behavior of that system. We apply our ideas to antennas theory and the theory of nonuniform transmission lines.

Hornets get past Triopia
MOUNT STERLING — Tied with Triopia 14-14 at the half, Brown County scored two touchdowns in the third quarter and held on to beat the Trojans 34-20 and lock up a playoff berth with their sixth win.
"I love these matchups that we have with Triopia," Brown County coach Tom Little said. "We have nothing but respect for them. They always come and bring their best. And it was a great, great football game for fans to watch tonight."
The two teams traded scores in the first half and wound up tied going into the third quarter. Brown County took its first lead on its first possession of the third quarter.
Starting at its own 28, Brown County drove 72 yards on 11 plays, scoring on a 10-yard pass from quarterback Joe Hendricker to Devin Tynan with 6:45 left in the quarter. The Hornets faced a fourth-and-nine at the Triopia 36 on that drive, and Hendricker completed a 25-yard pass to Tanner Sussenbach to move the ball all the way to the 11.
"Joe and Tanner had some really good pass plays tonight, made some big plays together," Little said. "And they're just fun to watch."
Brown County came up with a crucial defensive series on Triopia's next possession, forcing the Trojans to punt after gaining just four yards on three plays. Little said Brown County didn't change anything defensively, except to play with a little more focus.
"I think the big thing was just making sure we were doing what we were supposed to be doing," the coach said. "The emotions of being at homecoming, playing Triopia, I think our guys were playing really hard but not always doing the right thing in the first half. So we calmed them down and told them just to do what they're supposed to do, make sure they know their assignments and play good football, and we're really proud of them for doing that."
Brown County took over at its own 42 and moved quickly downfield. A 32-yard pass play from Hendricker to Tynan moved the ball to the Triopia 15. Drake scored from the 4 three plays later to increase the Hornets' lead to 26-14.
Brown County held Triopia to seven yards in four plays on its next possession, stopping the Trojans on a fourth-and-five play to start the fourth quarter.
Triopia got back in the game, closing to within six points at 26-20 with a touchdown on a two-yard run by Michael Burns with 4:54 left. Brown County started the next drive at its own 37. The Hornets fumbled the ball on first down but recovered at the 36. Tynan went to his left, then weaved in and out of traffic all the way to the Triopia 15 to give the Hornets some breathing room.
"Coaches put faith in me," Tynan said. "My pulling guard on that one, Skyler Moorman, he just looked at me and said, 'Let's go.' Just those simple two words are a big deal to me and the team. We knew that we had to get it done."
Two plays later, from the 15, Drake ran up the middle, breaking tackles as he went, and made it all the way to the end zone to give Brown County a 34-20 lead. Drake intercepted a pass on Triopia's second play on its next possession to lock up the win.
Triopia marched down the field on its first possession of the game as Shawn Bell scored on a one-yard run to cap a 57-yard drive to give the Trojans a 7-0 lead. But Brown County answered with a 72-yard drive on its first possession, scoring on a five-yard run by Darian Drake with 43 seconds left in the first quarter to tie the score 7-7.
"We knew their offense is really good," Little said. "They were able to do some stuff and take advantage of some stuff early, and the credit goes to them on that. Their kids played hard."
Triopia scored again on its next possession, on a 62-yard drive. A 32-yard pass from Bell to Tanner Allen set up the Trojans at the 2-yard line. Three plays later, Zach Thompson took the ball in on a pitch to give Triopia a 14-7 lead.
Brown County tied the score on its next possession. Starting at its own 33, Brown County drove 67 yards on 11 plays, scoring on a 34-yard pass from Joe Hendricker to Tanner Sussenbach.

A legacy of aviation excellence fostered by the husband and wife team of Frederick and Diane Fitts will continue through a new scholarship program funded by a memorial gift to the AOPA Foundation. Thomas Prevost, president of the Corporate Aircraft Association, presented a $100,000 check to AOPA President Mark Baker to establish a scholarship fund in the name of the aviation entrepreneurs, both of whom died earlier this year just 40 days apart.
Fred Fitts was a pilot and FBO owner before starting the Corporate Aircraft Association in 1990. Together with Diane, the couple built the successful fuel and resource purchasing program from scratch, starting from a spare room in their home with Diane working as a blackjack dealer at a nearby casino to keep things going.
At the time of Fred's recent retirement from CAA, the organization was made up of hundreds of pilots and FBOs leveraging buying power to earn fuel and other discounts. Conklin and de Decker in 2012 named the organization as one that provides the best overall value in its field.
In handing the check over to Baker at the National Business Aviation Association convention in Las Vegas, Prevost said his memorial gift to the foundation is designed to help young people get into aviation, perhaps allowing another generation to fulfill the Fitts' goal of providing value and quality to others.
The Fitts gift joins many others provided by donors who want to create a lasting legacy that builds a new generation of pilots. The AOPA Foundation administers many scholarship funds. In addition, many individual donations are used to provide flight training scholarships. To learn more about how to donate to the AOPA Foundation and its causes, visit the website.

A book review: By Joe Jansen
Title: Furniture Restoration Workshop
Guild of Master Craftsman Publications
This book, Furniture Restoration Workshop by Kevin Jan Bonner, was very organized, informative and challenging for any skill level. It is a particularly good read for those not experienced with furniture restoration.
The author starts with a simple bowl that needs some minor repair and French polish removed. He then systematically brings you through more and more complex projects building on the last skill he just wrote about. For the more advanced restorer, Kevin shows you how to hide a stain in the top of a table by actually making it look like it belongs there. That's one my kids would love to master for spill stains in our rug!
The book specifically covers the following: tools, materials, finishes, strippers and more. Kevin goes over applying different finishes such as French polish, danish oil, spirit lacquer. I particularly liked the section on how to apply an ebonized finish to hide old war wounds that could not be repaired sufficiently. Kevin also covered repairing veneer, removing stains, using filler and using body filler to fix some major cracks.
The book also breaks out tips and golden rules which are little nuggets of good information to make the job easier.
Overall, I think Kevin Jan Bonner did an excellent, creative job with this book. Refinishing can be a daunting, anxiety producing task and he has broken it down into more manageable procedures for even the novice to understand and maybe even to enjoy.

text: This article aims to understand the UK government's varied responses to the Arab Spring. The UK was criticised for its inconsistent and/or selective responses to popular uprisings in the Arab world. These ranged from providing substantial military support for the rebels in Libya to offering notably muted reactions to government suppression of protests in Bahrain. On assuming office, the Foreign secretary, William Hague, suggested that Britain would have a networked approach to foreign policy with a greater awareness of the bilateral interests that Britain had with other countries around the world. What this article aims to do is offer a provisional analysis of the security, economic and societal networks that the UK holds with states in the Arab world and in doing so to test whether these have any correlation with the British government's policy towards protests in the region.

Resources for writers with little time and even less money, who are on the journey to publication.
The Hook: Catching Your Reader On the First Page
So it's time to sharpen the hook.
I've been reading a book about hooking your reader (come back tomorrow for the review), and I've been impressed with the importance of crafting a great opening scene that will suck readers into the story.
This fantastic beginning will serve you in three ways: it will pull an agent into your story, giving you a publishing professional who will work to find a home for it. It will convince an editor at a publishing house to take a chance on an unknown writer. And finally, it will cause readers to buy your book, and (hopefully) recommend it to their friends.
Of course, if the rest of your book doesn't live up to the beginning, you will be guilty of a bait-and-switch tactic.
I checked the sites of several agents, editors and writers to see what they had to say on the topic. Remember, I'm learning all this as I go. Writing this blog is just a way for me to be a little more intentional about it.
Editorial Anonymous explains why you don't need bait, if you've got a hook (for more post on hook from this blog, click here).
Cindy R. Wilson explains the four elements of a good hook.
Examples of great first lines from Poetic Serendipity.
Agent Kathleen Ortiz explains why a great query hook will help her overlook a not-so-great query, and cause her to request pages.
Suzanne Hartmann's do's and don'ts for a good hook, and her anatomy of a good hook.
Come back tomorrow for my review of a book entirely devoted to making the start of your story the best it can be.

I recently encountered problems when attaching my guitar to a Shure ULX beltpack transmitter. It seems the guitar generates too much signal for the belt pack to operate correctly. After several attempts to correct the problem using inline resistors, the following scenario seems to work best. Place a 240 K ohm ½ watt resistor between the guitar plug positive tip and the plug for the remote transmitter. Make sure, if the shield on the wire is woven, that all strands from the shield are protected from contact with the leads to the resistor. Taping with electrical tape will probably be necessary. The insulation was cut back on the wire the length needed for the resistor rather than cutting the wire in two. For convenience it may be easier to put the resistor near the plug for the guitar. The stiffness of the cord caused by the resistor and shrink-wrap can be hidden in the straight portion of the guitar shoulder strap. For aesthetic purposes and strain relief the resistor and associated wires should be covered with shrink wrap and heated to a tight fit. The next 2 steps are probably over-kill, but to smooth out the lumps, I taped the same area with electrical tape. Next the heat shrink tubing was placed over the tape and lightly heated it to create a smooth surface. I inserted the resistor in series with the positive lead only. This was done after other configurations had failed. Pi and Tee, balanced and unbalanced, attenuators were tried with different resistor values. The main problem with these attenuators were they changed the tonal quality of the guitar. This resolution left the guitar with very close to the original tonal quality and balance.
Adding the 240k ohm in series increased the guitar's output impedance by that amount, as viewed by the transmitter. This will reduce the signal level as well but only by a few dB.
Thanks for the information as it will help other owners of Taylor guitars.
