Strawberries are a delicious and good source of vitamin c, folic acid, antioxidants and fiber. They are not only part of a healthy diet but can help reduce the risk of heart disease as well.[1][2] However, like any other fresh produce, strawberries need to be cleaned carefully before consumption as they can become contaminated with harmful bacteria such as salmonella or E. coli. Plus, strawberries are one of the "dirty dozen," foods that contain the most pesticides.[3]
Washing Strawberries in Water
1Remove bad or spoiled strawberries. Don't wash them before you're ready to use them, though, as strawberries act like sponges. They absorb water fast, which speeds up spoiling.
- Discard strawberries that are bruised, mushy, moldy or not ripe. Keep strawberries that have a deep red color and are plump.
- Don't remove the stem before washing as that way the strawberries will just absorb water.
2Place strawberries in a large clean colander. It's important not to ever soak them in water.
- Wash the strawberries under clean running water.
- Keep moving them gently with hands making sure each one gets washed.
3Clean them in a basin of cool water alternatively.[4]
- Hold a few strawberries in hand and slosh them through the water.
- Rather than being submerged, strawberries need to be given a quick rinse.
4Dry the strawberries. When left wet, berries start going bad fast. Even if they are left wet to air dry, they will absorb the water and taste less sweet.
- Let them drain in the colander for a minute.
- Pat them dry with a paper towel. Be careful not to damage the fruit.
- Alternatively, spread them on a clean kitchen towel and gently rub them dry.
Cleaning Strawberries with Vinegar Solution
1Clean the strawberries more thoroughly with a vinegar solution. This also helps keep them from getting spoiled too fast in the refrigerator. It's frustrating to buy a carton of strawberries and to find them covered in white fuzz two days later.[5]
- You should discard strawberries that are moldy or squished.
- Again, keep the stem on until you are ready to use the berries in your recipe or to eat.
2Prepare the vinegar solution. You will need white vinegar and a basin or sink.
- Fill up half a clean basin or sink with cold water. Make sure the water is not warm.
- Add 1 cup vinegar for every 3 cups of water.[6]
- Mix the solution well with your hand.
3Grab two or three strawberries. You will clean a few strawberries at the time. This ensures you are cleaning each one properly.
- Run strawberries vigorously for about 30 seconds through the vinegar solution.
- Rinse those strawberries well under cold water. You don't want any of the vinegar flavor to remain on the fruit.
- Pat the fruit dry with paper towels, or dry it gently with a kitchen towel.
Using Veggie Wash
1Prepare the Veggie Wash solution. You can purchase Veggie Wash at most major food supermarkets.
- Fill up half a clean basin or a sink with cold water.
- Add 2 oz of Veggie Wash and stir.
- Give the solution a good swirl.
2Grab up to two or three strawberries in your hand. This ensures each piece gets cleaned properly.
- Run strawberries vigorously for about 30 seconds through the Veggie Wash solution.
- Rinse those strawberries well under cold running water. You don't want any of the Veggie Wash residue to remain on the fruit.
- Pat the fruit dry with paper towels, or gently dry it with a kitchen towel.
Community Q&A
QuestionDo people usually cut the centers out of their strawberries?Community AnswerSome people do, but it's not necessary. Whether you do or not is up to you.
QuestionWill the vinegar wash remove harmful bacteria?Community AnswerNot by itself. But if you leave the vinegar on for a minute and then spray with peroxide and rinse, it will kill the bacteria.
QuestionShould I clean commercially frozen, bagged strawberries?Community AnswerYou could rinse them if you wanted to, but it's not necessary.
QuestionIs it good to wash them after I cut them?Community AnswerNo. Wash them before you cut them.
QuestionDo I need to rinse strawberry with vinegar if I'm making jam?Community AnswerWashing in water should be fine if you're making jam.
Does apple cider vinegar work for cleaning strawberries?
How should I store fresh strawberries?

Article SummaryX
To clean strawberries, first remove them from their packaging and dispose of any that may be moldy, mushy, or not yet ripe. Then, place the strawberries in a large colander in the sink, and run them under cold water from the tap. You can move them around with your hands to ensure that each strawberry gets washed, or you can shake the colander to adjust their positioning. Let them drain in the colander for a minute, and then remove them to pat each berry dry with a paper towel. If you want to learn how to use a vinegar solution for cleaning your berries, keep reading!
- If you need to store the fruit for longer than two days, freeze it by placing it in airtight freezer bag or container.
- When shopping for strawberries look for bright red even color and don't worry about their size and shape. Instead choose strawberries that are full and plump.
- Only buy what you will eat in the next few days as strawberries go bad fast. Their shelf life is notoriously short.
- The washed and cut fruit will keep fresh for a day or two in clean airtight containers.
- Please know that any kind of commercial detergent, soap, or veggie wash is not recommended by the FDA, presumably due to the risk of ingesting harmful toxins.
- Remove the stems after washing the strawberries by inserting a clean sturdy straw through the bottom of a strawberry and pushing it up through the top.[7]

It would be hard to identify any single skill that makes one successful in Hospital Based Acupuncture (HBA). In fact, I find myself increasingly frustrated as I speak with and instruct my fellow colleagues on this subject.It is not a simple matter of mastering one skill. If it were, there would be little need for any specific training. Nonetheless, certain skill-sets stand out as essentially important - if only by their absence from garden-variety private practice. Here are some tips to follow.
Don't bail out on pattern discrimination
This seems obvious, but it is nonetheless true that many practitioners emerge from school with woefully inadequate diagnostic skills and some without any real logic that could stand up to peer-review. Many practitioners - even veterans of many years - have scarcely progressed beyond the textbook understanding of discrete patterns.
Furthermore, in all my career, I have never seen a patient present with one discrete pattern. The hospital professional must know how discrete patterns interact with and affect other patterns.
One need not know hundreds and hundreds of patterns. In HBA practice - where the focus in on adjunctive treatment for common functional complaints - knowing the 30-40 most common patterns is generally sufficient; but one must know these like one's own telephone number and be able to ask pertinent questions, which identify the presence or absence of these common patterns so that diagnosis should take only a few minutes. Pattern discrimination is the gem of holism; learn it well and use it. Polish this gem and let it shine. This is bastion of HBA practice and the safe haven within which no conventional medical professional may assail you – if you know your stuff.
Pulse Examination
Pulse exam is a topic causing serious consternation for many practitioners – usually for many years. If one works in a hospital based practice, adherence to a medical system with a legitimate and large body of research is essential. This means also that one must adopt the system of pulse examination employed by the physicians in China who are conducting that research. The Nan Jing style is not suited to working within the TCM style, which is why the Chinese long-ago moved away from it to a strictly anatomical correspondence. As for the Jing Gei style touted by the community acupuncture network, its flimsy logic will not hold up to any scholarly rigor - an essential aspect of hospital based practice. The pulse should only be used to confirm or deny a diagnostic hypothesis.
Education of Different Audiences
In order to educate physicians, administrators and lay patients, the hospital based professional must have a serious command of language. This means having first clarified the linguistic parameters of holism via the statements of fact which create holistic medical reality; and then wrestling with the linguistic equivalency that will render holistic concepts intelligible to Western medical professionals.
Mitchell Lehman of San Diego, Calif. declares, "If you even say the word qi within earshot of hospital physicians, you're finished. Mention 'yin and yang' and you're classified as a stoner and surfer who had time to kill and so decided to take up acupuncture."
How therefore should one talk to physicians about the various concepts and logical methodology, which makes up professional quality holism? How do you discuss research and present an unbiased view of the strengths and limitations of holistic methodology and Western reductionistic research? Should one speak differently to hospital administrators than to physicians? How? What do administrators care about most and how does one avoid the error of being marginalized? Better still how may one capitalize on a brief encounter with the hospital brass?
Furthermore, how does one communicate with patients in a hospital based clinic? Is it always wise to answer questions? Is there a time/situation in which it is better not to engage in dialogue with patients? When is it essential to educate and enforce the principals by which patients will receive the maximum benefit from visiting your clinic? Why is patient education so essential in the modern epoch?
These three segments - physicians, administrators and patients - are the primary audience. The hospital based clinician must be ready with well-thought-out answers and different "phraseology" for each audience segment and the specific encounters that will make or break a hospital based practice. Education is nothing if not communication; and communication has been the number one barrier to acupuncture's inclusion in mainstream medicine.1
Needle Technique
The general trend among graduates and practitioners in private practice is sloppy needle technique (meaning ambiguous or poor quality or even painful). It is clearly not a skill reinforced with much rigor by many Chinese medical schools. In addition, the comments I am told most by students I mentor are: 1) They are not shown/taught to needle with the same vigor and deliberateness as I instruct them for HBA practice; and 2) they could not get away with such vigorous needling in private practice because patients will complain it is too intense. A hospital setting requires the former and overturns the latter. A patient recovering from stroke or undergoing treatment for cancer is positively aware of the seriousness of their plight. Perhaps it is nothing more than being located within a hospital building; but I find that patients do no balk at an intense experience, but actually embrace it—the more so once they feel the positive after effects of treatment and the sense of hope that they may yet find healing in recovery.
Good needling is not brutal; but nor is it gentle and hesitant. Indeed, gentle hesitancy is often what causes unnecessary pain upon insertion. The kinesthetic sense for top quality needling may be partly wired into every clinician's general character and nervous system. I do indeed find certain acupuncturists have greater aptitude than others in this essential regard. Yet it can - to some degree - learned, taught and improved. (2) Nor is Dr. Tan's Balancing Method the panacea that so many practitioners in community acupuncture network believe it to be. It is not sufficient by itself any more than the NADA protocol is the answer to all patient complaints as professed by AWB.
Confidence and deliberateness in needling (and yes even a level of intensity that may not be welcome and appreciated in private practice) are indispensible in a hospital based acupuncture practice. Being in a hospital gives the clinician license to do what needs doing, letting patients self-select their attendance. One need not fear losing business; there are tens of thousands of patients passing through even a small hospital like Mercy Hospital and Medical here in Chicago.
To practice at the hospital level requires clinicians to know a lot of things about a lot of things. When I teach this comprehensive approach, I break it down to; 1) fundamentals; 2) fitness; and 3) performance. Fundamentals refers to the myriad basic skills and comprehension of simple details and methodological rigor that creates high-level competency. Fitness refers to practitioner self-care and attention to one's own person. Performance refers to the ability to 'get it done.' This kind of unapologetic excellence is still rare within the holistic medical industry and is as much of an obstacle to inclusion in the mainstream as any misgivings about research or rigor of methodology.
The future of acupuncture and Chinese medicine is in Hospital settings. Those who get this will prepare accordingly.

If you are looking for solar panels for your home or business our GridMaxx 230w grid tie solar panels may be the perfect solar solution for you.
More power
Reliability is at the core of all of our solar energy systems. So is power. To that end GridMaxx-230w modules use polycrystalline cell technology. They keep the energy flowing and operate with an electrical cell efficiency of up to 16%. And it's important to note that our modules boast allowable tolerances of up to +5 watts which guarantees maximum power without compromise. In fact nominal power is always obtained and often exceeded. This gives us a distinct advantage over our competitors whose modules may actually deliver less than the wattage they claim.

On the subject of superiority our 10-year product warranty is also in a league of its own and easily surpasses those required by law. And GridMaxx-230w modules go far beyond competitors standards with the the added guarantee that they will produce 90% of their nominal power for 12years and 80% for 30 years. That is three full decades of reassurance. In order to certify such high quality we insist that our products meet or exceed the most rigorous North American and international standards. Every GridMaxx-230w module must pass stringent optical mechanical and electrical quality controls.
More security
It is comforting to know that GridMaxx-230w modules can handle the toughest demands with regard to stability and corrosion resistance. This is due to their engineered hollow-section frame and 32 mm (013 in) special solar glass. We also use high-quality EVA foil which is ideal for embedding solar cells while the weatherproof foil on the back of the modules protects against humidity. As a final security measure we place a junction box with bypass diodes on the back of the module to avoid overheating of the individual solar cells (hot-spot effect). Our extremely robust modules resist a maximum pressure of 5400 Pa (= 113 psf).

Justice Scalia thinks that
hearing modern hard rock with its "noise and ugliness" might constitute cruel and unusual punishment as envisioned in the Constitution.
Juris Rocktor begs to differ. In fact, I believe Scalia once went so far as to quote Anthrax's "I Am The Law," when ruling that the death penalty is "totally badass."
Operation "Get Scalia to Judge this Spring's DC Regional of the US Air Guitar Championship" is on.
UPDATE: MetalSucks.net now features an "I AM THE BLAWG" legal advice column brought to you by one Antonin Skullia, Esq.
Trendspotting: Veteran Criminal Sentencing
The WSJ Law Blog ran a piece today detailing how a "small but growing number of judges say U.S. military veterans should be treated differently from nonveterans when they are sentenced for crimes."
Surprisingly, the piece does not note that just several weeks ago, the Supreme Court ordered a new hearing for a Korean War veteran sentenced to death in Florida because his lawyer failed to present evidence of post-traumatic stress disorder. The Court went on to give lower courts a sharp, suggestive elbowing:
Our Nation has a long tradition of according leniency to veterans in recognition of their service, especially for those who fought on the front lines as Porter did.
Linda Greenhouse, the former New York Times Supreme Court correspondent, wrote that while such lenience is honorable, the Court's empathy may be selectively applied:
Just last month, the same nine justices, also per curiam and also unanimously, sent chills down the spine of death-penalty opponents by overturning a different federal appeals court's grant of habeas corpus to an Ohio death-row inmate who also claimed ineffective assistance of counsel. The inmate, Robert J. Van Hook, robbed and murdered a man he picked up in a gay bar. He is also a military veteran, but one whose service was terminated because of alcohol and drug abuse. …
[T]he Supreme Court parsed the evidence that was presented and concluded that the lawyer's decision "not to seek more" fell "well within the range of professionally reasonable judgments." The American Bar Association standards in effect at the time of trial required no more, the opinion said.

Roth Estate is a family-owned winery dedicated to crafting full-flavored wines grown in exemplary Sonoma County vineyards. Beginning in 2001, Roth committed to producing classic Bordeaux varietals. A decade later the winery expanded its winemaking to include cool-climate varietals from the Sonoma Coast. This Sauvignon Blanc is 100% estate fruit from the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County.

Why do rioters only respond to their own threads/ not serious threads?
As people that work on the game, I don't ***demand*** responses from every post that gets upvoted, but like the very obvious ones should get answered. There is no reason to continuously leave us in the dark. There's a reason people are quitting. God i will never in my life expect G.C or Meddler to own up for shit or even respond, but honestly the only rioters I've seen respond on *actual* topics, is Maple Nectar, and of course we are absolutely grateful for them being there, but seriously, y'all know where this game is going. Being unresponsive and reckless will just make people leave at faster speeds. You think new players are going to trump old veterans? Let me just put it this way. League was very strategy based. Hence why the games have almost always been longer than 25 minutes. Casuals, do not want to play 30-40 minute games. Too time consuming for someone who is new and doesn't care. They will move on to overwatch. Or any other game where they can play 10-15 minute matches. Then you'll regret ignoring your veterans. It's so heartbreaking to see pro players just straight up quit because the game is in fucking shambles and you guys seem to not care. But that's fine i guess. Lose money **and** morale. Tl;Dr- Where is our communication? That's all for now <3

The headquarters of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (setkab.go.id)
JAKARTA, GRES.NEWS – The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources revealed that 15 oil and gas work areas will be offered through a bid in 2017, comprising 10 conventional work areas and 5 non-conventional work areas.
The ministry announced this in the Breakfast Meeting with Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources with a discussion on Indonesia Petroleum Bidding Round 2017.

Wedding ceremony is absolutely the most significant things in anybody's life. Each and every feature should be well planned along with implemented for the special day. Amid all other elements, the wedding attire of a new bride is the most important. A lovely gown manufactured from premium textile and material is what many a bride dreams of.
Didn't remember the words ages, wedding dresses were seriously popular in a few places in The european union. During the Victorian Era, wedding dresses have been white, prolonged and made by silk. Previous to that, bridal dresses were brief, with a number of colours like black and red. Within the wedding connected with Albert of Saxe Coburg in addition to Queen Victoria inside 1840, almost everything from your wedding invitations and also decorations, so that you can wedding dessert, wedding roses and wedding favours were in white colored. Following that, increasingly more women commenced wearing light wedding gowns within remembrance of the great Double.
There is also a enchanting story behind the entire understanding of wedding dress. In the 1500s, Ireland royalty was inclined to hunting. Some day, they gone hunting with a small town and attained a girl called Rose. Magnetized by simply her magnificence and appeal, Richard Earl chop down in love at first sight as well as Miss Went up also bought attracted by this handsome son. They both droped in love with the other and decide for you to marry. But the royalty opposed their union and made a strategy to take Rich away from your ex.
They inquired Rose to generate a long clothe themselves with one night of time, which often seemed impossible to accomplish. Having said that, with the assistance of all folks the town, Increased could make a new 16 measures long wedding outfit in one night. The vips were stirred through her brains and carried out a fairy tale on the ceremony.
In this caring memory and also anticipation of the happy lifetime of Rose in addition to Richard, people today started donning wedding dresses the same as the one manufactured by Rose in a innocent light colour by using a long prepare.
In the present working day, many wedding dresses are still worn out in white to signify virginity in addition to purity. On the other hand, this was not necessarily the real basis with King Victoria to choose the bright wedding gown. In fact, she chose a whitened wedding dress to check it while using the beautiful wide lace that she added on the apparel. Possibly, it might be just a angle of experience, but it has become a tradition after that. Ten of thousands of women still rely on wearing any white outfit as their stunning wedding dress.

this journal entry posted on December.31.2007
This is something I tend to do once a year, usually at the end of the year. I've put it in two books so far, How to Care About Humans and the upcoming The Problem With Earthlings, so I guess I consider it pretty important. Ok. Here goes.
Gas - I do about 60 miles a week on my bike, so I'd probably to 80 per week if I had a car. 80 x 52 x (3.25 I think that's what gas cost this year / 20 miles per gallon (I think that's realistic)) = $767.00
Maintenance - (thank goodness the imaginary car only broke down twice this year) = $860.00
Insurance - (just a guess) = $1,100.00
Car Note - (just six years left to go) = $2,760
Total savings from not having a car = $5,487.00
Habit forming substances:
Alcohol - Avg $15 per week going out + $14.50 case of beer twice a month + $6.00 bottle of wine 5 times annually + $15.00 bottle once a year = $1,173.00
Drugs - (Let's say I would keep it to a $300 / year pot habit) = $300.00
Cigarettes - $5.80 per pack x .9 packs per day * 365 days = $1,905.30
Coffee - $1.50 x 5 per week x 52 weeks = $390.00
meat - (might as well(just a guess)) = $450.00 (not including fast food listed separately below)
Total savings from skipping all that = $4,218.3
plus the extra health care costs from that one trip to the hospital from that crazy night with the blood alcohol poisoning set me back a $200 deductible (fortunately my employer ate the $640 in higher insurance premiums since it hypothetically happened last may). = $4,418.3
Atire costs:
Wardrobe - I spent about $100.00 total on my wardrobe this year = $780.00 (under what I am guessing used to be spent on clothes for me)
Shoes - About $32.50 on shoes this year = $235.00 (savings)
All those crazy chemical smells people put on themselves after showering = $92.00
Total of $1,107.00 saved.
Other costs
No cable television - (guessing) = $360.00
No fast food restaurants - (guessing) = $639.60
No department stores (cheap plastic crap) - (guessing) = $1,430.00
Total of $2,429.60 saved
And, since all of that money would be debt for me, and I would be debt servicing with about 25% APR in interest you can pile on another $3,360.48
For a grand total of $16,802.38 that I did not give to evil corporations in 2007 which I do fully believe they would have used to hurt my fellow human beings of the planet Earth.
Much of this stuff I'm just guessing about since I'm not really up on what it costs, but I'm glad to not spend it whatever it really costs.
Thus ends another year in my own personal struggle against consumerism.
be Well,

Tips For Attending Music Festivals
March 4, 2017
Most television shows and movies depict music festivals in one way or another. However, they are not all the same and this is very important to remember. You will have more fun at a music festival which is suited towards your favorite type of music. For example if you love heavy metal then it may be a good idea to go to a heavy metal festival as opposed to a jazz one, unless of course you're into exploring other genres and want to open up to new experiences.

March 1, 2017
There are many reasons to attend a festival, especially if you have never done so before. Here are some of the many reasons to enjoy a music festival.
The Music

We're gifted with so many great characters and roles, but one of my very favorite performances of all-time, forever and ever, is Eleanor Parker as the Baroness in "The Sound of Music."
I mean, I was a little obsessed with the Baroness growing up (and I was a lot obsessed with the entire movie, and still am).
And do I sometimes do Baroness impressions at family dinners? You bet. Pulling back my shoulders, I gimlet my eyes and purr "Darling, haven't you ever heard of a delightful little thing called boarding school?"
So I pause to bid farewell to Eleanor Parker, the actress who brought the Baroness to delightful, pearl-sporting, Maria-envying, Captain Von Trapp-wanting life. She died on Dec. 9 at age 91.
There's so many things I adore about the Baroness, but mostly this: She sets her scenes on fire, even though she doesn't have a ton of screen time. A little bit villain, a little bit of a schemer, and the sad-eyed person who ultimately tells Captain Von Trapp "somewhere out there is a lady who I think will never be a nun. Auf wiedersehen, darling."
I wanted her to go away, as a teen obsessed with this film, so the Captain and Maria could be together, and yet, every time she spoke that line, my heart broke for her, too. And I admired her for being big, in the moment.
Tying whatever I write about here back to the Wilfair world is something I like doing, and I can only say that "The Sound of Music" is a movie I'm a million-percent enamored with and always have been. My cousin and I watched it every day the summer my family got its first VCR, and played all the parts, Rocky Horror-style, in front of the television.
By the way, in case you're wondering? I'm an excellent Captain Von Trapp. Sorry to brag.
There's a cheerfulness, too, that I love in "The Sound of Music," a cheerfulness and optimism that I try to bring to what I write. And am I interested in mild villains who have a chance at redemption? Yes. Am I interested in people with money and people without money falling in love? Hell yes. And am I interested in marionettes? Hell yes!
Oh, wait. No marionettes in Wilfair. Somehow, someway, I need to correct that oversight.
Goodbye, Baroness, and thank you.
Farewell, Baroness
We're gifted with so many great characters and roles, but one of my very favorite performances of all-time, forever and ever, is Eleanor Parker as the Baroness in "The Sound of Music."

Oh my goodness, the Baroness! When my sister was little she just couldn't understand why the movie wasn't about her! I think she was overwhelmed by her glamor. She was confused when the Baroness leaves the movie. Wanting to ship the kids off to boarding school aside, I do think she's a wonderful, rich character and you can't deny that her gold gown with the big shoulder pouf isn't amazing. Her goodbye to the Captain is so classy too! Just what you would want to say in that situation but would never be able to pull off in real life.

The gold gown!!! Yesssss. With the shoulder detail. That's like a dream dress, for me.
Your sister is the cutest. Love this story, Bess.
And agreed. That was a classy way to end it with the Captain. Brava, Baroness!

Dear Friends,
I am in Spain now, Segovia a beautiful city – Roman aqueduct, Cathedral and Castle all in the one ancient town. We are here for another World Cup event. I am feeling much better since Roma and even better than Swiss.
I finished the Swiss Road Race in second place seconds behind my fellow competitor from South Africa and current Road Race World Champion Mr. Ernst van Dyk. I was happy with the result.
After Swiss we made our way by car, plane and car to Souraide in South West France, Basque country. This was different countryside from the Swiss, more rolling hills here. We were here to race in the 10th Urt International Paracyclisme Tour, a three day race, our mini Tour de France! I felt much better for these races. I placed 3rd, 2nd and 1st in the combined H2/3/4 General Classification and was much happier with my effort.
Now I only have two more races, one Friday – one Saturday. Both are well fielded with many of the racers from Roma in attendance. It will be challenging but unlike Roma I am feeling much stronger.
Speak soon.

Navajo Code's album-accompanying C.V. is among the most impressive that's dropped into DiS's lap of late: shows in the UK alongside My Chemical Romance *and *Million Dead *won this quintet a decent following long before the completion of this ten-track debut, but more impressive is the fact that they've already made inroads into the States, only recently returning from a west coast tour with *Planes Mistaken For Stars *and *Bear Vs Shark. Hardly credentials to be scoffed at, we're sure you'll agree, but they don't answer the sole burning question that bursts into flame upon the arrival of any new release: is it any good?
Happily, the C.V. is backed up by some quite excellent post-hardcore; truth be told we'd expect nothing less, considering a substantial percentage of these musicians served time in Brighton-based punks* Scuttle. While Scuttle never quite made the commercial grade however well-received their EPs and shows were by the rock press, Navajo Code take the logical step of amplifying everything: passion, volume, _The Rock_. Tracks like _'Get The Glove'_ (a timely bashing of scene-striding fashionistas, at least on a literal lyrical level) and _'Saturday Night Wrists'_ (choice line: _"You've got the clap and we applaud you"_) provide a hefty punk-shaped fist to a face numbed by so much sound-alike and substandard music bearing the post-hardcore standard with little of substance to back itself up. They're not without their subtleties, too: _'Simon Says...'_ contrasts the silky smooth with the threateningly serrated to potent effect. Granted, categorising Navajo Code as post-hardcore is likely to have some approaching with caution, but please: think more of the No Idea school of *Small Brown Bike **circa Dead Reckoning and the aforementioned PMFS - bands with brutality enough to balance out their melodic inclinations - with a subtle hint of the naked aggression that made Bullet Union's Ruins Domino the must-have album it is.
Of course, Remove.Repair.Replace isn't without its faults - vocalist Matthew Lewendon is a master lyricist - songs are endlessly quotable - but his recorded delivery doesn't always convince, and a sense of generic familiarity does overshadow a select few songs - but if one bears in mind that this is a debut recorded on a relatively small budget (by Redjetson/Kids Near Water producer John Hannon), the few failings can be overlooked in favour of both the numerous on-record highlights and Navajo Code's bright future. Theirs is one filled with expansion, evolution and endless opportunities; with this as the foundations, expect sparks to be flying from these livewires for many a show and record to come. The C.V.'s only just been started.
Navajo Code perform at Drowned In Sound's RoTa show on September 10th, at Notting Hill Arts Club, London. Also appearing are October All Over, Mystery Meat and Akira.

More bad news re: Archaeology as a profession
Post ID#20169 - replied 5/14/2013 6:03 AM
I think that is exactly right. The major issue to me is that our departments aren't training us to really find jobs. I feel most are gearing an undergrad student to go to graduate school when in reality this shouldn't be the case at all. "Oh, you can tell me the culture history of the coastal plain. . .congratulations." Let me be clear and say this is all my opinion and based on my observations. Degree programs should really focus on technical skills that are cross-disciplinary, like GIS and database management.
Post ID#20170 - replied 5/14/2013 6:15 AM
Anthropology/Archaeology is a terrible major. It really should be a minor only degree to save students the headache, heartache, and money.

Post ID#20173 - replied 5/14/2013 7:19 AM
I self taught my own technical skills as well, and I can put that I am proficient with GIS software and concepts... but I have nothing to prove it.
An Anthropology degree is a complete waste of time for the majority of folks that pursue it. It would be better relegated to a minor-only status or folded into to Sociology.
Post ID#20174 - replied 5/14/2013 7:42 AM
In practice, I doubt Anthropology is any better or worse than any other traditional liberal arts major. I suspect the vast majority of people get a degree in a field like anthro/history/psych/ethnic studies/etc. because they're quasi-interested in it and it's considered easier than a hard science. Essentially, a BA is a BA. Sadly, I think the era for those getting a general, liberal arts education, in order to be a well rounded individual is over for good.
For those who want to work in the field, I think the biggest challenge is that it's very difficult for an Archaeologist without a graduate degree (I hate it when people say "just a BA") to have any kind of job stability or quality of life. There are exceptions but this is largely true. For somebody who wants to be an Archaeologist, you're better off focusing on forensics, GIS, geomorphology, or geophysical work, than more traditional specialties like ceramics or lithics.

Currently, I am out of work through reason of an arthritic knee, though I don't mind so much because I no longer want to remain in a manufacturing job, and hopefully I will be on short-term disablity soon.
The reason I am back looking at this website is that I want to pursue a career in archaeology. I have an A.A. in Anthropology from 1984 (what can I do with that nowadays?) and am taking distance learning courses from Univ. of Leicester for a certificate in archaeology.
So, is there nothing that I can do other than what I am doing to get into the field? What jobs other than CRM would be a possibility? What would be realistic in today's economy?
Post ID#20196 - replied 5/22/2013 4:34 AM
There are plenty of things other than fieldwork that you can do: finds specializations such as ceramics, metal, lithics analysis, etc., becoming a member of an outreach program or some other sort of public mediator, becoming a curator in a museum, doing restoration work, teaching, and those are just off the top of my head. With creativity and will you can get into this field. It is one of the most interdisciplinary fields out there.

Here's where I see a huge problem. Everyone is right when they say the working world has no place for archaeology, anthropology, and many of the other liberal arts. The only problem is that our modern working world isn't a good one. While people don't pay these professions like they used to and the potential for a career is shrinking, the world NEEDS these professions more than ever.
When asked why Great Britain should fund music programs during WWII, Churchill said that without music what were they even fighting for? In a similar fashion, if we live in a world that completely revolves around industry and maintaining the mechanics (including war) that simply allow for the existence of civilization but rejects anything finer, what's the point of having a civilization in the first place? These are questions are ones that the public should be asking but aren't and it's OUR FAULT!
That right, it's our fault that people don't care about our profession. Now more than ever, I see anthropology classes filled with socially awkward introverts that have found haven in the these now unusual career paths. We have completely quarantined ourselves from the outside world and have been continually steering the discipline farther from the public eye. We think our own pursuit of knowledge and enrichment is what makes the study important in the first place.
If the world's view of archaeology is ever going to change, the schools need to additionally teach public speaking, non-technical writing, classroom teaching, and (tele)communication to relay to students that this discipline needs to, not just occasionally interact in the public sphere, but live there.
Lastly, schools need to teach philosophies of science and humanities (most importantly the difference) and anthropology itself. That way, when asked the all-important question that I doubt any new student can answer, "why do you study archaeology?", they will have a better answer than "because it's cool".

If it's any consolation, that yahoo story appears to be recycling old news. The data in the article are unchanged from 2013; there is no new report from Georgetown University (the original report can be found at https://cew.georgetown.edu/unemployment2013). And if you flip through the summary slide show at that link, you'll see that unemployment rate and recent graduate earnings are not well correlated, so for example, "Recreation" has a low unemployment rate (5.2%), but also a low starting salary ($29K), whereas "Social Sciences" has a higher unemployment rate (10.3%), but higher starting salary ($36K).

I agree with Kendoggg. We get so caught up in the compliance obligations that we forget why we had to comply with 106 in the first place. We let the infrastructure industry move in and put the squeeze on us as well trained and educated professionals when we agreed to take less than what we are worth.
We need to get back to the tennants of Stewardship and Interpretation. I think archaeology is important to our understanding of the current social trajectory and how to better understand our culture through the lens of the past, but that is not the feeling you get when you leave school and start working in the CRM world. It just has to be done. I see no attempt at an integration of all the information that is produced from the thousands of surveys and excavations every year. We don't even list the sites that we deem eligible to the NRHP. Who's job is that?
It is frustrating that we shy away from the public out of fear of looters when we should be sharing every little find that demonstrates that the past is all around us.
The federal goverment signs my paychecks, but I work for the people. I wish I could share more with them about my work.

It seems to me that the article isn't saying the skills of an archaeologist aren't valuable in the working world. It's saying they aren't valuable outside the profession, or cross-disciplinary, as some posters pointed out.
"anthropology and archaeology graduates report a 10.5 percent unemployment rate..."
Ok, but why?
Because these skills are not perceived as valuable in the working world - "assuming you're not trying to get a job as an anthropologist or archaeologist." Therefore it seems to be saying that people who go to school specifically FOR arch/anthro and then DON'T go into that field have a hard time getting jobs. That's not a problem specific to anthropology, it's very widespread as the other stats on there showed. And it's the price of studying what you're interested in vs. what makes money.
Winston Churchill would say that if you only make choices based on what makes $ then you're not really being a human being -- not really "living." What's the point?
I'm not saying all of you experienced working archaeologists are wrong when you say it's hard to find work. Nor am I saying archaeology as a profession is valued as much as it should be -- obviously I think it is undervalued if I am going into it even with this information! I'm just saying, Kendogg is right because the problem isn't "them", or other people's values, it's a displacement of OUR values. As an outsider -- and, I'll add, a guy who's got a liberal arts BA and can barely find a job right now -- it seems to me that archaeologists should count their blessings that they are doing something meaningful. And not to forget that it's meaningful. I know guys who work in Finance making six digits whose lives I don't envy.
BTW I am not a recent undergrad, I've been in the working world for a while, so I'm not just a wide-eyed idealist.

Gameplay Basics
As mentioned in Bright Hub's review of Crystal Defenders R1, this Final Fantasy Tactics A2 themed strategy game is what's known as a "tower defense" game. Basically, on each map you will be facing a wave of a certain enemy type attempting to steal your Crystals. The enemy will travel along a set path. Your mission is to strategically place units along the path to combat them. Each unit costs a certain among of Gil (currency in the Final Fantasy universe), has a different set of strengths and weaknesses, and can be levelled up to a certain degree. The trick is choosing the best units for the job, and placing them where they can do the most damage. There are 12 main levels in Crystal Defenders R1, as well as a secret 13th level that can be unlocked after the credits roll.
Unit Types
You start off with just two unit types, the Soldier and the Black Mage, but over time you will gain access to the White Monk, the Time Mage, the Thief, the Archer and the Dragoon as well. As mentioned above, each has their own strengths and weaknesses. The Soldier is one of the primary units you'll be using, and probably will be the first one you place on each level. They have a decent attack and good speed, and can be promoted to level seven, but are ineffective against flying enemies. Black Mages are considerably weaker, but are necessary because some enemies you'll encounter are resistant or immune to physical attacks. They also can be raised up to level seven, are effective against flying enemies, and at their highest levels have excellent attack range.
Some gamers may argue, but I found the White Monk to be all but worthless. True, they can attack multiple enemies, but they're less powerful than the Soldier, slower, and ineffective against flying enemies. Don't waste your money. Likewise, Archers are limited in their usefulness. They're effective against flying foes, particularly ones resistant to magic, but I found a good balanced corps of Mages and Dragoons to be far better on the whole. Use them sparingly. Speaking of Dragoons, are easily the most powerful combat unit available in the game, they have a great range, and they can even damage aerial opponents. The downside is that they're slow, only can be promoted to level four, and are quite expensive to purchase and level up. You'll definitely want to use some, especially on later maps, but try to limit yourself to around 8-10 of them at a time.
I never found Time Mages to be all that particularly useful in the Final Fantasy Tactics games, but here they're absolutely invaluable, especially on level 12. Time Mages slow monsters' progress, allowing the other units around them to have extra opportunities to attack. This definitely comes in handy, especially against those enemies that are super-quick or have a lot of hit points. I would've never beaten the game without them. Likewise, Thieves are surprisingly useful. They net you extra Gil, which can be used to level up troops and is often times the difference between success and failure. Definitely don't make the mistake of overlooking these two valuable unit types.
Troop Placement
As any veteran of tower defense games will tell you, unit placement is essential, especially late in the game. Obviously, you'll need to experiment a bit to see what works best for you, but here are some pointers I found useful. Try to place your first units in a place where they'll have two chances to strike the enemies–that is, somewhere where the path passes them twice. You essentially double their value by doing so, all while saving yourself some valuable Gil in the early part of a stage. Whenever possible, place your Dragoons and Black Mages near the center of the map. Both unit types have excellent range once leveled up, and its best to put them somewhere where they can cover as much territory as possible. Putting them in corners might result in some of their attack circle going offscreen, which is pretty much a waste of their potential. Also, I personally preferred placing Time Mages and Thieves together, then surrounding them with a group of levelled-up Soldiers. Creating such an arrangement, particularly near a bottleneck, maximizes the effectiveness of all units involved.
The Secret Level
In order to unlock the secret level, you not only need to beat the game, but you need a perfect score on all 12 main levels. This might take some real trial and effort, but hopefully the tips above will help out. The 13th level is a real challenge, because it is the only stage in the game where the enemies enter from two different locations. Of course, by the time you get there, you'll have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't. Choose your units wisely, place them strategically, use Esper summons when needed, and eventually you'll win the day!

This little boy who was always into mischief ran up behind me, grabbed the bottom of my pencil skirt, and pulled it straight up. Instead of the skirt falling back down, it was caught around my hips. My first reaction was to simply fall to the ground. Everyone in church saw this whole episode, including all the guys in my youth group. What made it even worse was that I needed to do laundry, so I had some old, ugly panties on."

Call 0114 303 1310 Today For Skip Hire Dumpsters In Ecclesall Sheffield S11 8LZ
Our skip hire company in Ecclesall Sheffield is one of the top companies and are rated highly in the waste disposal industry. Skips are useful and practical waste containers and they are often hired by businesses or homeowners for easier facilitation of waste materials and general household junk. Whenever you rent a Skip in Ecclesall Sheffield, it makes cleaning-out jobs much easier and also far more convenient. Additionally, it is cost effective to hire a skip for rubbish disposal, as skip hire Ecclesall Sheffield charges are generally quite reasonable.
One can find a lot of skip hire businesses in Ecclesall Sheffield who provide these services, and most of them have different sizes to fit their customers' needs. In case you have never hired a skip in Ecclesall Sheffield before, you might be wondering exactly where you can find a good skip company, well you have found us. Most often than not, when you contact most companies, they expect you to already know the main features, therefore if you're not familiar with the terminologies and the jargon, it could be an overwhelming task.
Exactly What Size Skip Do You Need In The Ecclesall S11 8LZ Area?
This is often very difficult to understand when you've never ever hired a skip previously. When you hire a skip that is way too small, you may end up having to hire another skip to accommodate the waste type that you need to do away with. If you hire a large skip, you might end up overpaying slightly for your waste material needs. One way to understand skip sizes is to consider the kind of waste that you have, if it is a dresser for instance, could it be broken down into flat packs to allow more room within the skip?
What type of waste are you getting rid of? If it is your backyard waste, could it be cut up into small pieces so you could get a lot more in the skip and ultimately get more for your money? Or are they large bulky items that cannot be divided, therefore you may need a bigger skip. It's better to be safe and get a bigger skip than it is to get a smaller skip and have to order an additional one to accommodate your current waste material collection needs.
Just What Waste Type Do You Wish To Throw Out?
Have you been doing a construction job? Are you just cleaning your house of unwanted rubbish? Are you doing backyard garden work? These types of things do depend on the price nevertheless, we are able to accommodate for any kind of waste type. Simply let us know what type of waste you want to get rid of and we can give you an estimate on that.
Will The Skip Fit In On Your Front Yard Or Will You Need A Sheffield Council Skip Hire Permit?
When you can keep it on your own property you could avoid the council expenses for permits. If you could put it on your front garden, that's great. On the other hand, we have to know exactly how we could get the skip onto that front garden.
If there's a small wall structure we have to go over, or if there is an expansive footway, the truck that we make usage of to deliver the skips cannot drive onto the footway. Driveways are the most effective option for this. On the other hand, consider if you are adding heavy goods into a large skip on the driveway and your private drive is block paving or tarmac there could probably be some damage to your driveway due to the excess weight.
If you prefer it on the road, honestly, that is not a problem, we will deal with the local authority or council and arrange council licence for you personally. The authorities do ask for an additional fee particularly for this and we can let you know the price should you give us a phone call . Please bear in mind that, even when it's not on the road and it is on the footpath it's still council property. It must be your own private property so we could deliver the skip without any permit. If you need it on the footpath or even a grass verge and it's not actually owned by you, we still need to get a Sheffield council permit in your case.

In this instalment of our Queen Anne blog series we move into the years of Queen Anne's reign in which many political upheavals and cultural changes came about. On-going War with Spain, resolution of long-standing tension with Scotland and the development of a two-party political system are all notable issues Anne dealt with during this period. Anne's confidence in dealing with and influencing such matters increased, evidenced by her vetoing an Act of Parliament in 1708, the last time this has ever happened. It may be said that this was the period in which Anne truly 'reigned' in the full sense of the word.
Culturally, although it refers to the years just after Anne's reign, the refined and graceful 'Queen Anne' style of architecture, furniture and art, with rich patterns and fine materials, is still admired today. 'Late Baroque' is the more accurate style name for the period of Anne's reign.
Two Kingdoms United
The most significant political event of this period is, of course, the Act of Union that came into force on 1 May 1707, formally uniting England and Scotland (Wales already being part of the kingdom of England since 1282). The two kingdoms had, in fact, existed in personal union under one monarch since 1603, but this Act now finally united the two crowns. In creating the kingdom of Great Britain, Anne, the last monarch of the Stuart dynasty, became the first official monarch of Great Britain.
Sadly, Anne's husband Prince George died the following year, and although he is reported to have had little influence politically, they were known to be a devoted couple and she was devastated at his death. Great Britain was already at war with Spain and unifying the nation would not easily be achieved; to make things worse, Anne now faced the many challenges ahead without her husband's support.
Two Mints Aligned
An issue to be addressed urgently was that of the coinage of the new realm, with English and Scottish coins circulating separately at that time. Mints had long been operating in London and Edinburgh. Post 1707 it became obvious that, in order to produce a uniform coinage for Great Britain, their working practices now had to be aligned. Moneyers were therefore sent north from The Royal Mint, still operating at that time in the Tower of London, to work with their counterparts at the Edinburgh Mint.
Coins struck at the Edinburgh Mint bore the mintmark 'E' below the Queen's effigy to distinguish them. All coins were now to be produced to the same standard and by the same methods as those struck in London. In evidence of this, the Royal Mint Museum holds a handsomely engraved set of troy weights dated 1707, made to ensure accuracy of standards in coin production between the two Mints.
The Edinburgh Mint, thought to have been situated where Gray's Close meets the Cowgate, opposite High School Wynd, finally ceased to operate in 1710. The building itself seems to have survived until it was finally demolished in 1877.
Two Coin Designs
The Royal Arms changed following the Act of Union, as was reflected on the coinage. The picture below shows the post-union coat of arms reverse design.
Anne's coinage is considered to be of particular importance by numismatists, for the beauty of its designs and the rare coins of the period, such as Vigo five-guinea pieces.
Slightly differing versions of Anne's effigy were used on her gold and silver coins. Both were modestly draped portraits, reflecting her personality. Interestingly, an undraped trial piece was made but never adopted – to this day the original remains in the Royal Mint Museum, still not approved by Anne!
Artistic and cultural advancement, political stability and most notably a United Kingdom – all achievements of Queen Anne, the last Stuart queen and the first queen of Great Britain. Her life and legacy are truly worthy of celebration and in her honour The Royal Mint has proudly struck the 300th Anniversary of the Death of Queen Anne £5 Coin. Now available in stunning precious metals, this beautifully designed coin will appeal to coin collectors, historians and art lovers alike.

Should you already own your house, you'll most likely earn money in tangible estate without ever purchasing another property.
The house you're presently purchasing having a mortgage is most likely probably the most valuable appreciating assets you'll ever own.
You're making money by living in your house, even when you won't ever buy any extra property. This, within itself, enables you to a effective property investor.
I've been intrigued with property trading for several years, however it all started having a startling discovery 35 years back.
In 1970 I'd purchased a little house in my family within the Eco-friendly Hillsides section of Nashville. It had not been much, however it was sufficient also it was home.
In 1978, we made the decision to market.
We offered that little house for $67,000.
This is when the bulb discontinued within my mind.
I had been shocked having a discovery that brought me to fall deeply in love with property trading.
I all of a sudden recognized that people had made $40,000 profit in 8 years JUST Residing In THAT HOUSE!
We hadn't colored it. We did not add any rooms. We built no patio.
We simply resided inside it!!!
We'd made $5000 annually simply residing in that house.
I started to consider to myself: let's say I'd two similar houses that produced $10,000 annually profit? Or, five houses that produced $25,000 annually profit? I started to fantasize the options. This awareness released my property trading career.
Soon I had been purchasing huge amount of money in tangible estate.
However the real challenge was purchasing property with no capital. I'd just possessed a serious business failure, coupled with no cash reserves with no credit. I learned buying a home with simply a $10 bill. Irrrve never walked right into a bank to inquire about financing, and that i never requested a home loan. But overcoming the task brought to purchasing $ten million in tangible estate in just 4 years.
That whopping $40,000 profit that entered my pocket from simply residing in that house I offered in 1978 only agreed to be the beginning.
I still reside in the Eco-friendly Hillsides section of Nashville. I pass that very same house every single day that people possessed within the 1970s. It lately went available on the market again, also it rapidly offered.
This time around that very same house offered for $200,000.
I'm not sure what's been completed to enhance the interior, contrary, but no exterior changes happen to be designed to that house. Will still be about 2000 sq.foot. All is identical size. However the value has elevated considerably.
