If you think dating is complex, you have clearly never dated in Spain. Hear from six expats who took the plunge and offer insight into dating a Spaniard.
Dating is a pretty complicated process no matter where in the world you are, and dating in Spain is no exception. But being a foreigner can make the dating process even more difficult. Let four female and two male expats aged 18–32 years old who dated Spaniards to give you the ups, the downs, the dos and the don'ts.
Dating lingo
To start off it'll be helpful to know some words in the dating vocabulary.
For instance, if you want to say that you're dating someone, as in boyfriend/girlfriend, you'd say estamos saliendo.
If things aren't that serious, you may use the phrase amigos con derecho a roce, meaning friends with benefits.
If you had a good night out in a club, you can use liarse. Depending on the context it may mean just make out or perhaps a little bit more. Additionally, ligarse can be used to mean almost the same thing.
If you're a little more adventurous, the word for one-night stand is enrollarse.
Where to meet?
Of course, there are Spaniards everywhere in Spain. But a good place to actually meet one for romantic purposes, like anywhere else, is through the nightlife scene, or through friends.
Othmane, 21, Morocco: "I dated a Spanish girl for like five months. We met in a club. I was with my friends, they had the table next to us, and I just saw this cute girl and I told her to take a picture of me and a friend and that was how everything started."
Amy, 23, United States: "I met my boyfriend in a club last summer. I saw him from across the room and thought he was really cute. So I made my girls keep moving closer and closer to him. I was literally standing next to him for like 15 minutes before he actually said something. Once he found out I was from the States, he immediately began speaking English, overjoyed that he now knew someone to help him with it."
Singles aren't limited to meeting in clubs or bars though. A great place is through English centres, especially if you're still not quite up to scratch on the language, or expat groups and clubs.
Ariadne, 30, Cuban-American: "I met my last Spanish boyfriend while I led a study abroad programme. He taught at the centre where my students were teaching. We dated seriously for six years and were engaged when we broke it off."
Mike, 24, Spanish-American: "She worked at a language school I attended in Malaga. She was one of the teachers there (not mine however) and I was completely infatuated with her Andalusian accent. The first words out of my mouth were 'hola boquerona' (boquerona are what Spaniards call girls from Malaga) and she giggled and decided to give me her number. It was a serious short-term relationship, it lasted about four months."
If all else fails, there's always online dating for expats.
Rose, 23, United States: "We met on chueca.com, an online personals website. We dated seriously for almost a year, but were on and off. I would tell foreign gay women in Spain to use an online personal website because it is hard to find lesbians, even in Chueca, Madrid."
When the dating game begins
Now that you've met that someone, what comes next? Usually a text message, according to our expat panel.
Tara, 20, United States: "We met at a party and exchanged numbers but I thought it was just in a friendly way. Then I got a text the next day that said something like, 'No se porque pero lo único que me acuerdo de ayer es que me quede con las ganas de conocer mejor a cierta chica'. So that made it clear he was interested romantically. As I was attracted to him, I went with it. Then we hung out after school a few times, and then he took me out on a very nice kind of elaborate date."
Amy: "After some time, I looked at my Facebook and saw that he wrote me a message saying something like 'Hola Amy, Como te va la vida? Que desde que me vine a Alcalá no he vuelto saber nada de ti'. I didn't reply because I thought it would only complicate things. I was leaving the country soon, for good, and I didn't want to have to say goodbye again. But he got on messenger and we started talking. Next thing I knew, I was on a train to Alcalá to see him again."
How is dating in Spain different?
Perhaps all these sound familiar. After all, it's the same dating game everywhere, isn't it? Maybe not. The panel shared their thoughts on the differences between Spaniards and people from their hometowns.
Tara: "I felt that our gender roles were very defined and that he appreciated me as a very feminine thing whereas here (United States), everything seems so much more equal. In Spain, I felt like it was separate but equal (though I guess some people would say there is no such thing). Still, I liked that."
Mike: "The importance of communication is crucial when dating a Spanish girl. By that I mean you have to constantly verbalise all feelings and thoughts as well as must be in constant contact with them. For example, I had to contact her (email, phone call) a minimum of three times every day, not with any urgent news but just to keep her happy. It seemed to me she needed more 'communication' and attention than any other girl I've dated."
Amy: "I think that with my boyfriend, I've found an exception to the majority of Spaniards. He doesn't give empty promises when he says something, he actually does it. Although he's almost always late, it's usually through no fault of his own. To me, he seems a lot more mature than all of the Americans I've dated. He is older, almost 23, but he has his life set, he is off away from his parents (which again is very unusual for a Spaniard) living life on his own. And he has his own car, which is very convenient."
Rose: "It was different dating a Spaniard because she was way clingier and less independent than Americans I have dated."
Othmane: "If I have to compare it with dating a Moroccan girl, I would say it is almost the same as they like to know a guy very well before starting to date him."
Advice for dating in Spain
It's important to remember that no two relationships are ever the same. However the panel still gave their final words of advice for any expats thinking about embarking on that extremely tricky journey known as dating.
Ariadne: "Remember that people wait a whole lot longer before they get married. They also have to spend Sundays with the family for a lunch that lasts entirely too long! Be prepared to spend too much time with the family."
Othmane: "Be patient with Spanish girls. They are not easy to get (most of them) especially if you're a foreigner; and try to be good friends with her friends because her friends can influence her!"
Mike: "You do not have to speak Spanish fluently but you better try to speak her language, and remember to communicate constantly even if you are making empty promises. Note: Don't do this too much, they'll pick up on it and break up with you."
Tara: "Spanish men are, from what I've seen, relaxed and fun. However, they can also be very possessive and intense. If you're moving to Spain you should make sure that you would be happy there alone too."

Suppliers, Retailers, and ConsumersSubmitted by Matt on Tue, 01/22/2008 - 19:14
Consumer electronics suppliers will face growing scrutiny of their sustainability practices from retailers. But consumers need to support these efforts by evolving their behavior. Sierra Magazine reports:
"With the power of a good-size country, Wal-Mart has put the squeeze on its 60,000 suppliers to reduce their carbon footprint. Starting in 2008, the retailer will use data from suppliers to measure the impact of its entire supply chain. The incentive: Wal-Mart promises better placement in stores for products that have addressed sustainability issues."
But adds:
Personal ElectronicsSubmitted by Matt on Fri, 01/18/2008 - 11:35
The website for the The Green Book cites a number of statistics that can motive more sustainable use of personal electronics:
"Unplug your power. Ten percent of the electricity used in your home is burned by communication devices and appliances when they are turned off!" (These are sometimes referred to as "vampire devices" because they silently drain power during the night.)
CES: e-Waste and RecyclingSubmitted by Matt on Thu, 01/10/2008 - 12:02
The consumer electronics and computer businesses have become synonymous with high rates of (some say planned) obsolescence.
Over twenty US states have or are considering electronics recycling laws, so manufactures are beginning to respond. Three major players - Panasonic, Sharp and Toshiba - announced at CES that they are forming the Electronic Manufacturers Recycling Management Company, LLC (MRM).
Recycling is "downstream" solution to the e-waste problem. The "upstream" solution is to rethink product design and marketing to encourage long-term use, not rapid replacement. Additional product design initiatives could reduce toxic components and make recycling easier and cheaper.
Other items of note:

Laptops: The Green ChoiceSubmitted by Matt on Wed, 05/30/2007 - 23:12
A PC Today magazine article advocates choosing laptops over desktops:
1. Smaller form factor means lower impact on both the manufacturing and recycling end of the lifecycle.
2. Battery life issues force a low energy consumption design: ~50% less than a desktop.
3. Many laptops comply with European standards for the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS) and recycling (WEEE).

At the invitation of the Palm Beach County Commission, about 100 municipal officials met Wednesday with the county`s top brass at a $3,000 lunch and all- day meeting at a West Palm Beach hotel.
The purpose of this unprecedented gathering was to talk about how the officials could best communicate and plan together for growth.
By the end of the day, they decided to appoint a task force to write a list of shared problems that could serve as an agenda for future meetings.
They also discussed ways to get through to each other, from massive mailings to naming more task forces.
Afterward, County Administrator Jan Winters said he thought communication did not have to be as complicated as some of the ideas suggested.
``To me, it`s a matter of will. If you want to communicate, you will,`` Winters said.
Many of the methods discussed involved city managers meeting periodically with Winters or his top staff.
Winters, a former city manager from Colorado, has made overtures to municipal officials in an effort to thaw the relationship between the county and municipalities.
``The county needs to take the initiative. Now we have to make sure the spirit, the trust that took place today doesn`t fall by the wayside,`` Winters said.
Boynton Beach City Manager Peter Cheney said he thought the meeting led to ``a greater understanding that we have to do things together to plan for growth ... to catch these things ahead of time before we have a disaster.``
An example given of poor coordination is the area around Congress Avenue, Linton Boulevard and Interstate 95, where approved commercial developments are predicted to overload the traffic system.

Headaches are among the most common symptoms people suffer. Unfortunately, they can be caused by so many things that it can be hard to precisely diagnose the cause. In fact, many doctors don't consider TMJ as a potential cause of headaches. If your doctor's treatments haven't been helping, maybe it's time to see a neuromuscular dentist about them.
If you are looking for a neuromuscular dentist in Valdosta, GA, please call (229) 242-5511 or email for an appointment with Dr. Nelson Clements.
Tension Headaches and TMJ
Tension headaches are the most common type of headaches, more common than all other types of headaches combined. They are caused by muscle contractions of stressed muscles in the head and neck.
Your jaw muscles are actually the most powerful muscles in your head, and they have the ability to trigger serious headaches. In fact, the pain you're feeling may actually be in the jaw muscles themselves, since the jaw muscles extend from the lower part of your jaw all the way up to where they attach on either side of the head just behind the eyes.
Even if the pain is not directly in the jaw muscles, it can be strongly influenced by them, since the powerful jaw muscles partner with muscles from the neck all the way to the top of your head. When your jaw muscles are stressed, they enlist help from partner muscles, passing their tension on.
The link between TMJ and tension headaches may be moderated by:
- Stress
- Teeth clenching and grinding (bruxism, either at day or night)
- Bad habits like chewing on nonfoods
- Physical activity, including exercise or heavy lifting
- High levels of jaw activity, whether talking or chewing
If you notice that your headaches tend to follow on any of these behaviors or stimuli, you should consider the possibility that TMJ is the root cause.
How TMJ Treatment Resolves Tension Headaches
TMJ treatment restores balance to your jaw system. When your jaw system is out of balance, your muscles are constantly working against the other elements in the system, such as your bones, teeth, and jaw joints. This creates tension and soreness, which contributes to tension headaches.
When your jaw system is put back into balance, the level of tension in your jaw muscles is dramatically reduced, and you'll find that your tension headaches reduce dramatically in frequency–some people seem them virtually disappear.
Migraine Headaches and TMJ
Migraine headaches are usually triggered by stimuli from the trigeminal nerve. Neurotransmitters released from the trigeminal nerve cause the blood vessels in the brain to expand, which puts pressure on the brain, causing intense pain. We still haven't identified all the reasons why the trigeminal nerve does this, but it often seems to relate to overstimulation, overwork, or pressure on the nerve.
One of the primary functions of the trigeminal nerve is to control the jaw muscles and to take sensations from them back to the brain. This means that when the jaw muscles are being overworked, or are sending a lot of signals back to the brain, it could result in overload of the trigeminal nerve. In addition, branches of the trigeminal nerve interweave with various jaw muscles. So when jaw muscles are contracting tightly, they can put pressure on the trigeminal nerve.
How TMJ Treatment Can Help Resolve Migraines
Essentially, the goal is similar to that for tension headaches. Reducing stress in the jaw muscles can reduce or eliminate overload in the trigeminal nerve. This reduces the risk of trigeminal nerve overload. And reducing muscle activity also reduces the pressure that jaw muscles might be putting on the trigeminal nerve.
It's actually similar to the effect that BOTOX ® achieves for treating migraines, but instead of actually paralyzing your muscles, TMJ treatment just makes them work efficiently and peacefully the way they are supposed to.
TMJ and Sleep Apnea Headaches
Another common cause of headaches is sleep apnea. Sleep apnea causes your breathing to stop many times at night, causing you to wake up repeatedly, even though you may not know you're waking up. When you wake up in the morning, you'll feel the effects, though: a sense of unrest, as if you haven't really slept, and a morning headache.
TMJ and sleep apnea commonly occur together and people often suffer from both types of headaches. The conditions can be further confused because many people with TMJ wake up with a tension headache because of nightly teeth grinding (bruxism).
Can TMJ Treatment Help Your Headaches?
If you aren't getting good results from your headache or migraine treatment, you should consider TMJ treatment as an alternative that might provide relief.

The Missing Link
Most everyone knows the classic symptoms of autism: poor communication and difficulty interacting with others. Most treatment and research efforts focus on these deficits, but another area of concern is motor skill development. In a new study at Kennedy Krieger Institute, scientists are attempting to better understand the cause of motor deficits in children with autism, which they believe is a critical component in solving the mystery of the neurological basis of autism.
Dr. Stewart Mostofsky is leading the study exploring why children with autism have trouble learning to perform activities like riding a tricycle and putting a key in a lock. "And even when they sit up or walk at the expected time, they tend to reach those milestones in atypical ways," he says. He is interested in learning whether there is any link between these motor deficits and the socialization and communication problems that characterize the disorder.
Dr. Mostofsky's study is based on the understanding that there are two forms of learning: declarative and procedural. Declarative learning centers on memorization of facts; procedural learning refers to the learning of skills through repeated exposure to and practice of behaviors. He believes that the motor deficits linked to autism are caused by problems children with autism have with procedural learning, and that impaired procedural learning may also help to explain the social skill and communication skill deficits that characterize autism.
"There's a clear overlap between the regions of the brain that involve motor imitation and those regions involved in language production," he says. "A large part of communication involves physical gestures, which we probably learn through procedural means tied to imitation. Children with autism typically have problems with communication that include not only problems with language, but also problems with learning nonverbal communicative gestures, such as pointing and waving good-bye. Furthermore, motor imitation is thought to be important in the development of social awareness, because we often learn to guess what other people are thinking and feeling based on how we think and feel when we act the same way."
Funded by a two-year, $120,000 grant from the National Association for Autism Research, the study calls for the recruitment of 25 children between the ages of eight and 12 with high-functioning autism and Asperger's syndrome, as well as 25 typically developing control subjects. The team will observe the children as they perform a battery of motor skill assessments. In addition, the children will receive functional magnetic resonance imaging scans of their brains as they perform additional motor tasks. The scans will show Dr. Mostofsky and his colleagues how activation of brain regions differs in children with autism. "Knowing where abnormalities lie helps us establish the neurological basis of the deficits," Dr. Mostofsky says.
Finding out more about the basis of autism can help direct treatment efforts. "One of the most common therapeutic approaches for children with autism is applied behavior analysis, where a therapist explicitly instructs a child to perform a task, after which the child is rewarded," Dr. Mostofsky says. "This approach appears to rely on declarative instruction to teach skills that most of us learn through observation and imitation of others' behavior. Our study could help explain what approaches to learning work best for children with autism, which would help to guide therapy."

What Is a Stock Split History?by Aleks Volkov
When the price of a company's stock rises too high, some companies may elect to split the stock. This increases the number of shares each owner has, while proportionately decreasing the value of each individual share and thus not diluting that investor's ownership stake in the company. Therefore, there is no effect on the worth of a company. The only things that change are the number of shares outstanding and the price of each share. The two main reasons a company would do a stock split is to increase liquidity by increasing the number of shares and to make the stock more affordable to smaller investors by dropping the price.
The Facts
A stock split history of a company is the number of times the company split its stock, the date of those splits and the type of splits they were. When looking at the key statistics of a certain company, most financial websites that provide data on companies will include the stock spit history. There, it will say if the stock has ever split. If it has, the most common data will include the date of its last split and the type. However, you can find the entire history of company's stock by digging deeper and reviewing the stock's performance throughout its life-time.
There are differing opinions among financial professionals regarding the significance of looking at a stock's split history. Some investors argue that a stock split is a good sign for the company. They believe a split demonstrates that the company's share price is on the rise, which is a sign the company is performing well. Hence, it makes sense to look at a stock split history as an indicator of that company's performance. However, some argue that because the fundamental value does not change, there is no real value in a stock split.
There are two categories of stock splits: regular splits and reverse splits. These categories also come in different proportions. A regular stock split is when a company increases the number of shares and decreases the price of each share. A reverse split is when a company decreases the number of shares and increases the price of each share. Most splits are two for one, three for two or three for one, although reverse splits can go as high as one for 10. What a two for one split means is the investor gets two shares worth half of what the original share he owned. A one for 10 split means the investor get one share's worth what the same price of 10 original shares combined.
One of the benefits for an investor to have a company split its stock is the number of shares owned increases. This means that for every dollar the price of the shares go up, the investors sees a greater return. For example, if you own 100 shares at $5 a share, your total worth is $500. When the price of each share increase by $1, your worth increases by $100. However, after a stock split, you own 200 shares at $2.50. If the price of the shares go up to $3.50, your worth increases by $200.
As good as a stock split seems, due to the benefit of owning more shares, there is also a downside. If there is a two for one split, and you double the number of shares you own, this does not mean the price of the stock will continue to rise. Thus, if the stock falls, the money you will lose due to a drop in price will also double. Nevertheless, owning more shares is usually something to desire. That is why a reverse split is taken as bad news for both the company and the investor.

The Honor Harrington series has been a staple of science fiction space opera for quite a while. I've come late to the series, certainly. When I found book one in the series, On Basilisk Station, for free I quickly snagged a copy. The really cool thing was that I also had it on audiobook and the kindle and audiobook synchronize perfectly. If I had my way, I would read & and listen to all of my books in this manner.
So what did I think about On Basilisk Station? First of all, it is very true to the military space opera genre. The story and the plot are entertaining and I the characters engaging. Everything builds toward a dramatic final battle that satisfied my need for action. There are several norms in the story, such as the how the protagonist emerges victorious against all odds. During the story, she is set up for failure, but by the end, emerges a hero. Several of the support casts experience straight forward and predictable development arcs; and when I say predictable, I am not being negative.
For this genre, I want heroes, and that is what David Weber provides.
The slaughter of drug crazed Medusans was not my favorite thing. They came across as the melodramatic bug eyed monster, when it seemed they were intended to be deeper and less stereotypical. In the final analysis, the story is about Honor Harrington and her heroic crew. I enjoyed the book and have already purchased the next in the series.
Every book, movie, and product needs a review. Right?

"Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?" [Matthew 6:27]
Jesus spoke these words during His Sermon on the Mount in Matthew, chapters 5,6, and 7. This is where He tells us not to worry about our lives; what to eat, what to drink, or what we will wear. He points out the birds of the air for they don't sow, reap or gather, yet the Father feeds them.
Them He asks us to consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, but neither toil nor spin. Jesus concluded this part of His sermon with these words:
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
You'd think, after reading these words countless numbers of times over the decades, I'd have learned something by now, right?
Apparently not.
I'm a mother, and all three of my children are middle-aged adults in their 50's. I can do nothing about their life-choices or the paths they have taken. Yet, I worry.
My oldest son has bladder cancer.
My daughter and middle child, has embarked on a new career path and is now a full-time over-the-road trucker. Yeah, an eighteen-wheeler.
And my youngest son is currently in jail. I won't explain that, it's too long and heart-breaking. Suffice it to say he's the victim of his own bad choices.
So, yes, even though I have no control over any of this, my mothers heart worries. I have to be reminded, time, and time again, of what Paul wrote in Philippians 4:6 & 7:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
(Scripture references taken from the NKJV version of the Bible.)

As with anything you buy, the more features you include in a new air conditioner, the more the up-front cost will be. But the great thing about heating and cooling systems is that higher installation costs almost always translate to long-term energy savings. One feature that most certainly falls into this category is the compressor in a two stage air conditioner. Today we're going to talk about what a two stage air conditioner is and whether or not it's worth it to upgrade to this type of system in your home!
A two stage air conditioner is a cooling system with a compressor that operates at two different capacities. Unlike a traditional air conditioner, which has a compressor that is always running at full blast, a two stage air conditioner's compressor has both a "medium" and a "high" capacity. The "medium" capacity is used when there is a moderate demand for cooling in your home, and the "high" capacity is only used when it's extremely hot outside and the "medium" capacity isn't strong enough.
When you look at how much energy each part of your air conditioner consumes, your compressor is near the top of the list. So anything you can do to ease the load on your compressor will significantly lower your cooling bills.
On average, a two stage air conditioner's compressor uses its "medium" capacity about 80 percent of the time. The remaining 20 percent is left for days with extremely high cooling demands. That means that a two stage air conditioner uses a significantly less amount of energy than a traditional air conditioner a huge majority of the time that it is operating. That's a whole lot of savings!
In addition, a two stage air conditioner goes through less frequent cooling cycles than a traditional air conditioner. That's because the high capacity that's used at all times by a traditional air conditioner will cool your home faster and more forcefully, which shortens its cooling cycles. When you consider the fact that an air conditioner consumes the most amount of energy when it's starting up and shutting down, you can see how a two stage system will consume less energy by cooling your home more gradually with longer and less frequent cooling cycles.
Saving energy is certainly one of the best reasons to install a two stage air conditioner, but another great benefit is that it will make your home more comfortable. As we mentioned above, a two stage air conditioner will cool your home more gradually because of its "medium" capacity. This means that your home will have less severe temperature swings (only within a few degrees) and will always feel consistently comfortable.
If you don't mind the slightly higher up-front costs of a two stage air conditioner, it's definitely worth it to install one. You'll not only see significant energy savings throughout your system's lifetime, but you'll also have a more comfortable home.
If you have any questions about whether or not it's worth it to install a two stage air conditioner, or if you'd like a cooling system serviced or installed in your home, contact Jerry Kelly, your St. Charles, MO, air conditioning contractor. We provide service all over the St. Louis area, including towns like Maryland Heights, O'Fallon and St. Paul, MO.

Most people either love or hate cilantro. Scientists have found that the haters often possess a specific gene that it is associated with smell and taste—I'm pretty sure I have that gene. Usually, when a recipe (like the tagine below), calls for cilantro, I automatically substitute parsley. But here are some ways to use this strong-flavored herb. It's packed with vitamins and anti-oxidants, so if you like it, you'll benefit by using it often. '
Ideas from the Kripalu blog (http://kripalu.org/blog/thrive/2012/04/06/cilantro-10-ways-to-use-the-superfood-2/)
- Add cilantro into a stir-fry, toward the end of cooking to maintain the fresh flavor and oils that can stimulate digestion and minimize gastric distress.
- Chop and toss into some of the fresh herb into guacamole.
- Dab it. Essential oil of cilantro can be used topically to minimize skin inflammation. To use, add a small amount (a couple of drops) to your favorite cold sesame oil or almond oil for a light, soothing massage.
- Throw a handful into a smoothie. The oils in cilantro have powerful antimicrobial benefits. Add in its antioxidant profile, and cilantro is a detoxification superfood.
- Stew a coconut curry. There's nothing like a warming, ginger-cilantro curry to nourish and soothe.
- Chop it like salad and eat a whole bunch! John Bagnulo recommends eating cilantro in higher amounts (tasty with chopped peanuts, mango, and crisp green lettuce) to boost gastrointestinal processes.
- Season your dishes. Cilantro Mint Chutney (below) is a staple in the Kripalu Dining Hall and goes well with many dishes, such as rice biryani, mixed vegetables, or quinoa and beans. See recipe below.
- Finish sesame noodles with fresh, chopped peanuts and cilantro.
- Garnish. A friend recently taught me to cook Brussels sprouts by roasting them in the oven for ten minutes, then searing them in a pan at a high heat to lightly blacken, then adding a dash of soy sauce, garlic, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. This is a show stopper! I served these for Thanksgiving and everyone fought for the last of the sprouts.
- Add cilantro to a fresh-pressed juice for a cooling effect
Makes 1½ cups.
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
¼ cup mint, chopped
3 shoots green onion
¼ teaspoon jalapeno or more (to taste)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoons minced ginger
2 tablespoons lime juice
¼ teaspoon salt
Make sure to rinse your cilantro well before chopping. Then combine everything in a food processor and pulse to combine.
The Kitchn
1/2 large head green cabbage, very finely chopped
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 bunch cilantro, chopped (use at least 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, or more)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Dressing Ingredients:
2 T rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1 T agave nectar, honey, sugar, Splenda, or Stevia in the Raw granulated (Use Stevia or Splenda for Phase One version)
2 tsp. sesame oil
2 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. Sriracha or other hot sauce (or less, or this can be left out for a less spicy version)
1/4 cup canola or peanut oil
Cut cabbage head in half and save half for another salad. Remove core from the half you're using, then cut cabbage into very thin slices (less than 1/4 inch) and turn cutting board the other direction and cut again to chop into very small pieces. Thinly slice green onions, chop cilantro, and chop peanuts.
In a bowl or glass measuring cup, mix together rice vinegar, sweetener of your choice, sesame oil, soy sauce, and Sriracha sauce if using. Use a whisk to mix in oil until dressing is well-combined.
In large plastic or glass bowl, gently combine chopped cabbage, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro. Add dressing a little at a time, until salad seems as wet as you'd like it. (You may not need all the dressing.) Add chopped peanuts, and stir a few times until peanuts are mixed in. Taste salad for seasoning, and add salt and freshly ground black pepper as desired. Serve immediately.
½ cup sour cream
¾ cups chopped cilantro leaves
1 tsp. lime juice (or lemon juice)
¼ tsp salt
Mix all ingredients; serve over potatoes, as salad dressing, or with salmon or other fish.

6 or 7 tomatoes (approx. 3 lb.)
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, grated
2 or 3 cloves of garlic, pressed
small handful of fresh cilantro (coriander), finely chopped
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, crumbled
1 cinnamon stick
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (golden unhulled if possible)
handful of toasted almonds
Peel, seed and chop the tomatoes. Place them in a heavy, wide pot along with the butter, grated onion, garlic, cilantro, and spices. Stir to mix, then add the chicken.
Cover and bring the chicken to a rapid simmer over medium heat. (Do not add water.) Continue cooking, covered, for about an hour or until the chicken is very tender. Turn the chicken occasionally while it cooks.
When the chicken is tender, carefully transfer it to a plate. Add the honey and ground cinnamon to the pot, and reduce the tomatoes to a thick, sweet puree. Stir frequently and adjust the heat to prevent the sauce from burning.
Return the chicken to the pot to reheat gently for five to ten minutes, turning the meat once or twice. Arrange the chicken on a platter and cover with the sauce. Garnish with the sesame seeds and fried almonds, and serve.
The currants in our fruit share are full of antioxidants and Vitamin C and they add a bright, tart zing wherever they're used.. Here are some ways to use them:
CURRANT DRESSING: Simmer 1 cup currants with 2 tablespoons sugar or honey for about 5 minutes. Add lemon, ginger, allspice, or cinnamon to taste. Serve with meat, poultry, or fish. It's also great, cooled, over ice cream.
CURRANTS AND GREENS: Put about 1/4 cup of currents in food processor with 2 tsp olive oil, 2 sprigs chopped dill, salt and pepper to taste. Puree; add sugar or honey until it's as sweet as you like it. Serve over greens (such as sautéed chard or spinach); sprinkle with toasted almonds and crumbled blue, feta, or goat cheese.
PARFAIT: Layer currants with granola and yogurt. If it's too tart for you, mix the currants with sugar or honey before you layer. Also nice with a layer of blueberries or strawberries. .
1 ½ cups homemade or canned chicken or vegetable broth
4 green onions, sliced
2 cups chopped, seeded cucumbers
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1 8-ounce container plain yogurt
1 cup currents, removed from stems and rinsed
2 tablespoons honey or sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Dill sprigs for garnish
Simmer broth and green onions for 8-10 minutes. Cool slightly, then place in blender, with cucumber (save some for the end), dill. Puree until smooth, then add yogurt, currants, and honey and pulse a few times—yogurt should be combined, but currants just chopped roughly again. Taste and add salt and pepper. Chill, garnish with dill and reserved chopped cucumber; float a few currants on top.
FRUIT SALAD, FRUIT SHAKES, SMOOTHIES, AND ICE POPS: Add a few currants to salads or blend into shakes, and smoothies—increase the sugar in the dressing or shake. Freeze some of the shake or smoothie mixture in plastic ice-pop makers—leave a few whole currants.
BLUEBERRY/CURRANT SALSA: In a food processor, place ½ cup currants, ½ cup blueberries, 1 tbs sugar or honey, 1 tsp. chopped garlic or garlicscape, 1 tsp. minced ginger, 1 tbs of your favorite flavoring—vanilla, cognac, sherry, liquer. Pulse a few times, just until chopped roughly. If desired, add a tablespoon of finely chopped toasted nuts (almonds or pecans). Serve with greens, with strips of roasted chicken, with fish, or as a dip.
CURRANT-CRANBERRY SAUCE: Freeze about ½ cup of currents; remove stems, rinse, pack in a ziplock bag and tuck them into the freezer. Take them out on Thanksgiving and add them to your cranberry sauce—they add an extra layer of flavor and a reminder of summer.
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup red currants
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and orange peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture just until blended. Fold in currants.
2. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.

The Second Awakening
Meanwhile, the Protestant side of Christianity, especially evangelicalism, remained still a relatively small part of the faith worldwide, still splintering with every new idea. Specifically in the U.S. context, the Second Awakening from the 1790s to the 1840s was distinctive in two respects: the launch of entirely new denominations and millennialism.
The first of several splits was, predictably for the United States, around the problem of racial prejudice, as slave and free African-American Baptist and Methodist preachers emerged. One such figure was "Black Harry" Hosier, an illiterate freedman whose remarkable ability to memorize long biblical passages made him popular with white and black audiences; however, he was repeatedly passed over for ordination and barred from voting at the conference that formally established American Methodism. Another was Richard Allen, who was ordained by the Methodists in 1799 but also faced discrimination.
In 1816 Hosier and Allen founded the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. As evidence that racial prejudice was widespread, in 1821 the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church was founded as another denomination in New York City.
A similar split occurred among the Baptists, whose organization into local congregations already made for a loose denomination. Formed by slaves and free African Americans in South Carolina and Virginia, the denomination spread to other states, with a side effect of fostering the demand for freedom. During African-American revival meetings in Virginia in 1800, one leader, Gabriel Prosser, devised a plan for slave rebellion that was discovered and crushed before it started. After the Nat Turner Uprising of 1831, African-American congregations managed to maintain their independence in Baptist associations, but many Southern state legislatures passed laws requiring the presence of a white man at their meetings.
Fragmentation was further aided by another development, a sudden interest in the lurid, dreamlike visions in the book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse, which lends the work to a variety of interpretations.
Notably, Revelation 20:1–6 begins with the description of a vision as follows: "I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years." During that millennium, the newly awakened U.S. evangelicals began to believe, Christ would preside over a golden age or earthly paradise before the final judgment. In the 1830s and 1840s, from a mixture of massive disillusionment with existing mainline Protestantism and fevered enthusiasm for Revelation and other extrabiblical sources, the Advent Movement emerged, which involved expectation of the impending Second Coming (or Advent) of Jesus.
One obvious outgrowth was Millerism, named after preacher William Miller, who was a forerunner of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. Another less obvious development was the "holiness" movement, an attempt to emphasize Wesleyan teachings on sanctification, which led to an organizational break between mainline Methodist and Holiness churches.
Such discontent sparked a longing for "primitive" or original Christianity, which grew in popularity after U.S. independence. This made sense to immigrants from Britain of the early 19th century, who viewed the new nation as pristine and undefiled and the perfect place to restore Christianity. One group that resulted from such efforts was the Shakers, committed to simplicity and lifelong chastity.
More broad and secular was Restoration Movement, led by Thomas and Alexander Campbell, who resisted what they perceived as spiritual manipulation at revival camp meetings. In the South, revivals drawing on the ideas of the Campbells were led by Barton Stone. In the end, all reverted to the original emotional pressure techniques of the original model.
Another spinoff, the Latter-Day Saints or Mormons, was founded by Joseph Smith. A farmer in western New York, he claimed that in 1827 an angel showed him writings in "reformed Egyptian" engraved on golden plates buried in Cumorah Hill. Known as The Book of Mormon, the plates tell the story of an oddly Hebraic God's revelations to the ancient original Americans and the appearance of Jesus Christ in the New World shortly after his resurrection. The angel is said to have conveyed God's command to Smith to translate the plates into English so he could restore Christ's true church in Smith's time, "the latter days."
The addition of new scripture, among other unusual practices and beliefs (including polygamy and the belief that African Americans are "cursed"), makes Mormonism an outright departure from Christianity as understood since the times of the apostles. It was not the last such deviation in the United States, but it remains the only full-fledged pseudo-Christian religion to spring out of the Second Awakening.
More mainstream effects sprung from the preaching of Presbyterians and Methodists who remained within their denomination but set the stage for new outcroppings in the Third Awakening.

How Much Damage Will Phoenix Do Before It Rises From The Ashes?
Could your family survive not getting paid for months on end? How about a year? That is what is happening to tens of thousands of Canadian families under the Trudeau Liberals.
In 2009 our previous Conservative Government began the careful process of developing a new system to pay public employees. In 2011 we contracted IBM to develop the new pay system. Phoenix was originally slated to be implemented in May of 2015 but our Government listened to the experts and delayed the rollout because of outstanding "critical" defects in the system. It just wasn't ready.
When the Trudeau Liberals came to power (apparently assuming the problems would fix themselves) they rushed into implementing the new system–despite having been repeatedly warned by experts, unions and former government officials that Phoenix was not ready. In February of 2016 the Liberals launched the first phase of the Phoenix Pay System for public servants. Within three months it became apparent to everyone—except the Liberals–that the experts had been right.
Despite a myriad of cases of public servants being underpaid, overpaid or not paid at all, the Liberals went ahead with phase two of Phoenix (and de-commissioned the old pay system). By April of 2016 all 290,000 public sector employees were at the mercy of Phoenix, and the problems just kept rolling in.
By July of 2016, 80,000 people had been affected by the premature implementation of Phoenix. Not only were there ongoing problems with pay, benefits and pensions but now there was a new problem—privacy. As early as January, senior government officials had been warned that there was serious flaw with Phoenix that put the privacy and personal information of public employees at risk. Judy Foote, the Minister in charge claimed she had no knowledge of the issue—despite repeated warnings to her department. The CBC reported that Government documents show information about the privacy breach was removed from a key accountability document called a Privacy Impact Assessment. Details about the Phoenix privacy flaw were purged from a report on Jan. 21, after government officials claimed that "the issue had been resolved." It had not.
Justin Trudeau and his Government denied responsibility for the fiasco, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The problems continued.
In an effort to get the situation under control, Foote hired temporary staff to help deal with the flood of complaints. It soon came to light (again via CBC reporting) that those staffing Phoenix had not been screened and lacked the necessary security clearance. And people still weren't getting paid.
Month after month passed. Savings accounts emptied and credit card bills soared as tens of thousands of Canadians waited for the Government to fix Phoenix. Their wait continues.
In February of this past year there was a further slap in the face for public service employees: the revelation that executives in the department overseeing the Phoenix Pay System had received $5 million in "performance pay" bonuses over the past year–even as thousands of public servants were dealing with not being paid.
A few weeks ago the Prime Minister announced a ministerial working group to address the issues with the Phoenix Pay System—one year and three months after this fiasco began. It is beyond ridiculous that it has taken more than a year for the Liberals to form a simple working group to find a solution.
The Liberals launched this program, knowing that it wasn't yet ready. It has been mismanaged at every turn. It is hurting Canadian families and it is going to cost Canadian taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars to clean up yet another Liberal boondoggle. Now there are reports that the problems with Phoenix may not be fully resolved for another two years.
Justin Trudeau can afford to go a few months without getting paid but most Canadians cannot. Employees who are on the verge of losing their homes, being forced to postpone their educations, or going into debt because they are not being paid properly cannot wait two more years.
Just wasn't ready…

Manage IP addresses
Each instance has a private, fixed IP address and can also have a public, or floating IP address. Private IP addresses are used for communication between instances, and public addresses are used for communication with networks outside the cloud, including the Internet.
When you launch an instance, it is automatically assigned a private IP address that stays the same until you explicitly terminate the instance. Rebooting an instance has no effect on the private IP address.
A pool of floating IP addresses, configured by the cloud administrator, is available in OpenStack Compute. The project quota defines the maximum number of floating IP addresses that you can allocate to the project. After you allocate a floating IP address to a project, you can:
- Associate the floating IP address with an instance of the project. Only one floating IP address can be allocated to an instance at any given time.
- Disassociate a floating IP address from an instance in the project.
- Delete a floating IP from the project which automatically deletes that IP's associations.
Use the nova floating-ip-* commands to manage floating IP addresses.
List floating IP address information
To list all pools that provide floating IP addresses, run:
$ nova floating-ip-pool-list
| name |
| public |
| test |
If this list is empty, the cloud administrator must configure a pool of floating IP addresses.
To list all floating IP addresses that are allocated to the current project, run:
$ nova floating-ip-list
| Ip | Instance Id | Fixed Ip | Pool |
| 172.24.4.225 | 4a60ff6a-7a3c-49d7-9515-86ae501044c6 | 10.0.0.2 | public |
| 172.24.4.226 | None | None | public |
For each floating IP address that is allocated to the current project, the command outputs the floating IP address, the ID for the instance to which the floating IP address is assigned, the associated fixed IP address, and the pool from which the floating IP address was allocated.
Associate floating IP addresses
You can assign a floating IP address to a project and to an instance.
Run the following command to allocate a floating IP address to the current project. By default, the floating IP address is allocated from the public pool. The command outputs the allocated IP address:
$ nova floating-ip-create +--------------+-------------+----------+--------+ | IP | Instance Id | Fixed IP | Pool | +--------------+-------------+----------+--------+ | 172.24.4.225 | None | None | public | +--------------+-------------+----------+--------+
If more than one IP address pool is available, you can specify from which pool to allocate the IP address, using the pool's name. For example, to allocate a floating IP address from the
testpool, run:
$ nova floating-ip-create test
List all project instances with which a floating IP address could be associated.
$ nova list +---------------------+------+---------+------------+-------------+------------------+ | ID | Name | Status | Task State | Power State | Networks | +---------------------+------+---------+------------+-------------+------------------+ | d5c854f9-d3e5-4f... | VM1 | ACTIVE | - | Running | private=10.0.0.3 | | 42290b01-0968-43... | VM2 | SHUTOFF | - | Shutdown | private=10.0.0.4 | +---------------------+------+---------+------------+-------------+------------------+
Associate an IP address with an instance in the project, as follows:
$ nova floating-ip-associate INSTANCE_NAME_OR_ID FLOATING_IP_ADDRESS
For example:
$ nova floating-ip-associate VM1 172.24.4.225
The instance is now associated with two IP addresses:
$ nova list +------------------+------+--------+------------+-------------+-------------------------------+ | ID | Name | Status | Task State | Power State | Networks | +------------------+------+--------+------------+-------------+-------------------------------+ | d5c854f9-d3e5... | VM1 | ACTIVE | - | Running | private=10.0.0.3, 172.24.4.225| | 42290b01-0968... | VM2 | SHUTOFF| - | Shutdown | private=10.0.0.4 | +------------------+------+--------+------------+-------------+-------------------------------+
After you associate the IP address and configure security group rules for the instance, the instance is publicly available at the floating IP address.
If an instance is connected to multiple networks, you can associate a floating IP address with a specific fixed IP address using the optional –fixed-address parameter:
$ nova floating-ip-associate --fixed-address FIXED_IP_ADDRESS \ INSTANCE_NAME_OR_ID FLOATING_IP_ADDRESS
Disassociate floating IP addresses
To disassociate a floating IP address from an instance:
$ nova floating-ip-disassociate INSTANCE_NAME_OR_ID FLOATING_IP_ADDRESS
To remove the floating IP address from a project:
$ nova floating-ip-delete FLOATING_IP_ADDRESS
The IP address is returned to the pool of IP addresses that is available for all projects. If the IP address is still associated with a running instance, it is automatically disassociated from that instance.

Speaking of seminaries (see above): Sr. Schuth does not indicate in her article that gay seminarians or faculty pose a particular difficulty. But Fr. Andrew Greeley thinks they do. In his column on Priests and AIDS (The American Catholic, March), Greeley indicates that he takes the vow of celibacy very seriously, and he notes that noncelibate homosexual priests do great damage to the Church.
Greeley informs us that at some seminaries, professors tell their students that theyre gay and take some of them to gay bars, and gay students sleep with each other . Greeley is appalled, saying he does not understand why bishops tolerate such situations. Hes also appalled that the Church appears more tolerant of noncelibate homosexual priests than immoral heterosexual priests: If I had a habit of picking up women in yuppie bars, they [priests] tell me, the bishop would call me in immediately. But they tell me gay priests can hang around gay bars and pick up lovers and nothing happens to them.
