Flag Day is June 14th, and commemorates the adoption of the United States Flag, which happened on June 14, 1777. Interestingly, the U.S. Army celebrates its birthday each year on June 14th (not July 4th, as you might imagine). The only thing that might make the day a little more patriotic is an apple pie and a Chevrolet…and some red, white, and blue jewelry. I think I can help on that last bit.
All three colors of our flag can be found in the materials I like to use for jewelry. Everything from fossilized coral (which is usually dyed red), to white pearls to blue cinnabar, not to mention glass and some other gemstones and crystals. Let me break it down by color before putting it all back together.
Since it's the word we usually say first in the flag colors, we'll just start there:
Colored glass is most often the truest red. Millefiore, which stands for a thousand flowers, is a glasswork technique which produces distinctive decorative patterns on glass.
Or, there's always some plain colored glass, often in shapes.
This Red Mountain Jade pendant is a spectactular example of how red is expressed in nature. The stone is a favorite of mine and so many of my customers.
As you might remember, I recently started creating chain maille jewelry, and I've discovered a way to add some color to the mix. These earrings feature silver chain maille and red rubber rings.
Sponge coral comes in many colors, mostly because it'd dyed. These red coral earrings fit the bill if you're feeling patriotic.

Artisan Bread
I searched the internet all week for a bread recipe I wanted to make on the weekend as I had a box of yeast and strong flour I had bought last week for Pizza I made down home in Limerick. I finally came across this recipe from Chef Dennis. This recipe is fairly easy to follow and is the first time I decided to prove the bread overnight in the fridge, ordinarily I wouldnt have such time on my hands to allow this. Something I want to make clear from the start, you dont need a breadmaker ( waste of money in my opinion ) you only need your two hands.
384g cups of tepid water (37.0c degrees)
1 1/2 Tablespoons of Salt
1 /1/2 Tablespoons of Dry fast action yeast
830g of strong flour ( if using odlums its the one in the orange package)
Flour to dust dough ball
1) Make sure the water is blood temperature and not too warm as you will kill the yeast. Mix the water, yeast and salt together , dont worry if the yeast does not dissolve as it will when making the dough.
2) Add the water mix to the flour and bind together with your hands, do not be afraid to get stuck in, your hands are the two best implements in the kitchen when it comes to baking. Bring the mixture to a binded ball shape.
3) Now you need to knead :) for about 10 minutes. Kneading is essentially bring the dough together and allowing the gluten to expand in the flour. You are basically pushing the bread back and forth with your hand as if you were playing with a lump of clay.
4)When you have completed the kneading, transfer to a clean bowl and cover in cling film and leave overnight or 12 hours in the fridge. This is called proving, the reason we do this is for the yeast to start working and gluten to come in to action within the dough. What you are looking for is the dough to at least double in size
5)12 hours later .... Take the dough out of the bowl and knock back ( if the dough has doubled in size it will be full of air from the proving, knocking back means removing this air and taking it back to its original state before proving)
6) Once knocked back knead for a further 10 mins and transfer back to a clean bowl, cover with a wet towel and leave in a warm area, preferably the hot cupboard in your house. This will allow it to expand again, leave for about 40 mins.
7)Remove and dust with flour cutting a cross in the top of the dough. Now transfer to a preheated oven 230c/450f, as you add it to the oven place a tray below the bread filled 1/2 way with boiling water. The purpose of the water is the steam will create the desired artisan looking crust on the outside of the bread. Cook for approx 40 mins.
8) Remove from the oven , the bread should be evenly browned and have a good crust. Also when you hold the bread up and tap the bottom , it should sound hollow, this will mean the bread is done.
9) Leave for maybe 30 minutes to rest but if the temptation is too much to handle, cut off a slice or two and slather it in butter mmmmm.
I would like to thank Chef Dennis for such a great recipe and one of the best breads I have made.

Thai Grilled Garlic Chicken, Issahn Style....
When we lived in San Francisco there was a wonderful place we went to often that had Thai BBQ chicken, Ribs, Duck, and Salmon. It was served with sticky rice and a sweet chili garlic sauce and a carrot salad. It was called San Francisco BBQ. They also served the BBQ chicken over noodles in a tasty noodle bowl. That was the first Thai style food I had ever eaten back in the very early 80's. We loved it! We still do.
This chicken reminds me of that very same chicken. I actually have the recipe from that restaurant but I find this better. The marinade is also good on pork or beef ribs. I have not tried it yet but I bet it would be great on Salmon as well.
Thai Grilled Garlic Chicken, Issahn Style
adapted from Quick and Easy Thai
Nancie McDermott
3 T. coarsely chopped fresh cilantro root, or stems and leaves
3 T. coarsely chopped garlic
1 t. freshly ground pepper
2 T. soy sauce
1 T. fish sauce
1 t. salt
3 Tablespoons water, or more as needed to grind the paste
3 pounds chicken pieces
Sweet Hot Garlic Sauce.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cilantro, garlic, pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, and water. Grind to a fine fairly smooth paste. Add another Tablespoon or two of water if needed to help grind evenly.
Transfer the marinade to a large deep mixing bowl and add the chicken pieces ,turning to coat everything well. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour, turning occasionally to coat evenly with the marinade.
Prepare a very hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill or oven to 450*. When hot ,place the chicken on a lightly oiled rack, or in a roasting pan in the oven , and cook turning occasionally to brown and and cooked evenly and the chicken is cooked through.
(I cook the chicken until it registers 160* on an instant read thermometer)
Serve hot, warm or at room temperature, with small bowls of Sweet- Hot Garlic Sauce.
You can buy Thai Sweet Chili Sauce in the supermarket. There are several good brands or you can make it yourself. If you make it yourself it keeps well in the fridge in a jar or container.
Sweet- Hot Garlic Sauce.
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 Tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon chili garlic sauce(sambal oelek)
or Sri Rachaa, or minced fresh hot red chili peppers, or 1 to 2 teaspoons dried red chili flakes.
(I use the sambal oelek)
In a medium saucepan, bring the sugar, vinegar, water, garlic, and salt to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring well to dissolve the sugar. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes, until you have a thin smooth syrup. Remove from the heat, stir in the chili garlic sauce. Set aside to cool. Serve at room temperature with the Grilled Garlic Chicken or any other grilled or crisp fried food. Sealed in a Glass jar this keeps in the fridge for one week.
( my notes: I find that this comes out as a thin marinade rather than a paste. That is fine. I have doubled this and it works really well as I usually use more than 3 pounds of chicken parts when I make it. My organic cilantro comes with the roots attached so I use all of it...roots ,stems, and leaves. Just be sure to wash it really well as cilantro can be sandy and gritty. I sometimes just throw in a big handful of the cilantro and do not measure it...I always use the processor. Also I normally marinate the chicken in a large zip- lok bag and place that on a tray or in a bowl in case it leaks. I find the chicken gets better covered in the marinade that way. I just turn the bag over ever now and then and make sure everything is covered well.)
I use a gas grill and I put this on a hot grill and turn the cooking area down to low and cover the grill, checking often to see that is does not burn.I leave the other burners on medium.

Linda, this looks like such a wonderful recipe and I must try it very soon. Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
Linda... wonderful recipe. I do wish I had a grill since this wouldn't be the same in the oven, as Ju says, the charred edges are the thing... I love them so. I'll save this for a country weekend!ReplyDelete

Linda,Your picture has my mouth watering for spicy chicken and it is only 7:00 Am on the west coast.ReplyDelete
Wish you had posted this last week when I was looking for something to do with chicken legs. This looks wonderful and I can't wait to give it a try.
Just printed this out and will try it on barbecued pork ribs tonight. I love the flavors in the marinade. I'm going to serve this with sticky rice and ripe melon slices. Yummo.ReplyDelete

My partner is allergic to cilantro so I use a handful of Thai Basil and some chives.
Still delicious.
Sounds good Jane...glad you enjoyed!ReplyDelete
This looks wonderful and very interesting. I love cilantro but have only eaten the leaves. What is cilantro root? I have never seen it in the store or heard of it. I guess I can google it...ReplyDelete
Dragana....you can find it in Asian Markets. But often when I buy my cilantro the roots are still attached so I just use the whole thing....works just fine. Regular cilantro is also fine to use...no worries.ReplyDelete

Christina Milian: "I'm in a great space now! I've learned that I'm strong"
Christina Milian? For the guys, if anyone is interested in dating her? It appears that you have to be patient with this desire.
The 29 years old 'Dip it Low' singer said not interesting in dating right now. She was enjoying single life with Violet, her daughter from her previous marriage. At least that's what she said in an interview with Star magazine.
"I'm in a great space now! I've learned that I'm strong," she said.
C-Milli have been separated from The Dream, her ex-husband for over one year, after three months of marriage, they split in the end of 2009 before officially announcing their separation in July 2010.
" I am not interested [ in dating]. Right now, I'm really getting to know myself."
But when asked, what type of guy she wanted, she reveals,
"caring, loving, somebody that will be there and is funny. I love single life. I'm very wise when I make my choices, but I do know how to have fun!"

This evocative account of the life of the Renaissance's greatest figure traces Leonardo's early development as an artist and court figure to his final years in exile, portraying his loves and sufferings, as well as his intellectual curiosity and tireless loyalty to his ideals. But it is the background to his famous painting La Gioconda and his relationship with the mysterious Florentine woman who modelled for it that are at the heart of the novel - here presented in a new translation - and will make for an engrossing and unforgettable read.
An unjustly forgotten masterpiece of Russian literature that inspired one of Freud's most important essays, Leonardo da Vinci also offers an illuminating snapshot of the society of the period – beset with intrigue and religious and social tension – and a host of memorable historical figures such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Machiavelli, Savonarola and the infamous Borgias.
"We are given a rare insight into what is probably the nearest anyone has come to Leonardo's character." Yorkshire Gazette

Japan and Sri Lanka
About the Japanese ..................
Most interesting. May have been around the block a few times, but always
a good read
Japan - some interesting facts.
* In just ten years??? Hiroshima returned to what it was: economically vibrant, before the fall of the atomic bomb.
* Japan prevents the use of mobile phones in trains, restaurants and indoors.
* For first to sixth primary year Japanese students must learn ethics in dealing with people.
* Even though one of the richest people in the world, the Japanese do not have servants.The parents are responsible for the house and children.
* There is no examination from the first to the third primary level because the goal of education is to instill concepts and character building.
* If you go to a buffet restaurant in Japan you will notice people only eat as much as they need without any waste because food must not be wasted.
* The rate of delayed trains in Japan is about 7 seconds per year!!
The Japanese appreciate the value of time and are very punctual to minutes and seconds.Â
* Children in schools brush their teeth (sterile) and clean their teeth after a meal at school, teaching them to maintain their health from an early age.
* Japanese students take half an hour to finish their meals to ensure proper digestion because these students are the future of Japan .
The Japanese focus on maintaining their culture. Therefore,
* No political leader or a prime minister from an Islamic nation has visited Japan not the Ayatollah of Iran , the King of Saudi Arabia or even a Saudi Prince!
* Japan is a country keeping Islam at bay by putting strict restrictions on Islam and ALL Muslims.
1) Japan is the only nation that does not give citizenship to Muslims.
2) In Japan permanent residency is not given to Muslims.
3) There is a strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan
the University of Japan , Arabic or any Islamic language is not taught.
5) One cannot import a 'Koran' published in the Arabic language.
6) According to data published by the Japanese government, it has given temporary residency to only 200,000 Muslims, who must follow the Japanese Law of the Land. These Muslims should speak Japanese and carry their religious rituals in their homes.
7) Japan is the only country in the world that has a negligible number of embassies in Islamic countries.Â
Muslims residing in Japan are the employees of foreign companies.
9) Even today, visas are not granted to Muslim doctors, engineers or managers sent by foreign companies.
10) In the majority of companies it is stated in their regulations that no Muslims should apply for a job.
11) The Japanese government is of the opinion that Muslims are fundamentalist, and even in the era of globalization they are not willing to change their Muslim laws.
12) Muslims cannot even rent a house in Japan .
13) If anyone comes to know that his neighbor is a Muslim then the whole neighborhood stays alert.Â
14) No one can start an Islamic cell or Arabic 'Madrasa' in Japan .
15) There is no Sharia law in Japan .Â
16) If a Japanese woman marries a Muslim, she is considered an outcast forever.
17) According to Mr. Kumiko Yagi, Professor of Arab/Islamic Studies at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, " There is a mind frame in Japan that Islam is a very narrow minded religion and one should stay away from it."
The Japanese might have lost the war, but they are in charge of their own country.
There are no bombs going off in crowded business centers, "honor killings", or killings of innocent children or anyone else.
Something to think about.

Product Description
2011 was the coldest growing season in decades. During winter and spring it was cold and rainy. Bud break and bloom were delayed and clusters were small. Leaf removal and cluster separation were crucial tasks in the vineyards to reach our high standard of quality. Cluster removal was done early allowing air flow and sunlight to reach clusters. Summer was mild and the afternoon sun helped mature grapes to full ripeness with complex aromatics. 2011 was excellent vintage for Merlot because it matures earlier than other red varieties. Majority of our blocks were picked before the rain. Aromas and Flavors: Dried blueberries, dried cranberries, black plums and cassis notes. Bittersweet chocolate and cocoa powder comingling with hits of black cardamom. Salty black licorice, green peppercorns and roasted coffee beans. Mouthfeel: Black slate, graphite, vibrant acidity, seamless tannins and a long finish.View all products by Matanzas CreekCalifornia Residents: Click here for Proposition 65 WARNING

Game Week 23 Tips
Game Week 23 Tips
The FA Cup has taken over the weekend's football action and leaves us looking forward to a midweek feast of Premier League action as we eagerly await game week 23. Early transfers should be avoided this week as there are some higher ownership players awaiting clearance to play as well as the likelihood of fresh injuries being picked up on Saturday and Sunday. That being said, it is never to early to start planning your Fantasy Premier League team preparation so we are on hand to take you through our game week 23 top tips.
Game Week 23 Picks
All but Chelsea and Arsenal stuttered last week with Liverpool suffering complete collapse at home to Swansea and it will have left many FPL managers reassessing the places of Liverpool players in their teams – unless you had Firmino that is! With Liverpool set to face Chelsea in GW23 it may be a shrewd move to cash in if you have doubled up on Liverpool attacking players. Man Utd are about to embark on a good run and Spurs have relatively easy back to back games coming up. The same cannot be said for Chelsea who (as previously stated) head to Anfield this weekend followed by a home fixture against Arsenal next week. Looking towards Man Utd and Spurs players might be a fruitful exercise over the next couple of games but beware game week 26 when those players will be blanking due to fixture congestion.
Arsenal Vs. Watford
Alexis Sanchez showed his class last week to snatch victory for Arsenal against a resolute Burnley side but this Watford side has nowhere near as much grit at the back and this should be a straightforward win for the North London side.
Olivier Giroud and Alexis remain the top threats and could well fire for the Gunners on Tuesday night. A clean sheet is also highly likely given Watford's recent performances.
Sunderland Vs. Spurs
The teams down at the bottom seem to be off-loading and weakening their sides as opposed to strengthening them and this is a great time for Spurs to be travelling to the Stadium of Light. They fought back well at the Etihad last week and many see them as the only credible threat to Chelsea now this season. If Harry Kane is fit then he is almost a must pick player for game week 23. Dele Alli has been the goal getter from midfield and also demands a place in your team if you still don't have him. Kane is likely to be a very popular captain choice this week.
Man Utd Vs. Hull
We have had the curtain raiser to this but this is main performance following the two league cup games. Expect a completely different game to the one at the KC Stadium last week and expect to see the likes of Ibrahimovic amongst the goals. A probable clean sheet is also in the offing with Phil Jones being the player of value to opt for.
Liverpool Vs. Chelsea
Earlier in the season and you would have given Liverpool a chance in this game but having not won a game in 2017 thus far it looks like January will close out on winless streak. Chelsea look ruthless and efficient if nothing else and Diego Costa is the man that just keeps them ticking over. It is hard to imagine that the Reds will keep a clean sheet in this one and it will require the likes of Lallana (late fitness test), Coutinho and Firmino to be at their best to break down this resolute Chelsea back line. I expect a tight one goal victory for Conte's men in this game.
Middlesbrough Vs. West Brom
Another game that represents points potential for West Brom who are having a magnificent season thus far. Apart from getting turned over by Spurs two weeks ago, they have won every league game since New Year's Eve and this will be another game in which West Brom will be expecting a win and potentially a clean sheet – with the latter being fairly probable. At least one West Brom defensive player (Nyom is best value) is surely a must for any successful and well balanced FPL side.
There is plenty more to ponder before the deadline and we will be back on Sunday with our gameweek 23 captain picks so be sure to check back then.

Acrostichon from Tilburg, Holland was formed in August 1989 when Jos (guitar), Richard (guitar) and Corinne (vocals) found a rehearsal-room and a drummer (Vincent). In those days Acrostichon played some songs of Richard's old project: United Brains ("Mentally deficient" and "Havoc"), and the first Acrostichon songs were written ("Xenophobic mania", "Immolation of the agnostic", and "elaborate ritual").
In November 1989 Vincent was replaced by Roeland and in this lineup Acrostichon played their first gigs. In March 1990 Acrostichon recorded their "Prologue" demo which contained the songs "Immolation of the agnostic", "Havoc", "Mentally deficient" and "Elaborate ritual". The demo got great reviews. The tape also made it possible to do more and bigger gigs. In June 1990 Serge replaced Roeland resulting in the classic line-up of the first album. A succesful appearance with Carcass, Hellbastard and Gorefest on "Christmas Carnage" followed.
In early 1991 Acrostichon entered RS29 to record the "Dehumanized" demo. This tape contained four new tracks, called "Dehumanized", "Thriving on chaos", Exasperation" and "Lost remembrance". It proved to be the final breakthrough in the Dutch underground scene. More than 1000 copies were sold. Songs of the demo were featured on the "Where is your god now" LP published by D.S.F.A. Promotions and a 7″ was released by Seraphic Decay Records (The "Lost Remembrance" EP). Several labels showed interest in signing the band. "Relics" was recorded to be featured on the "Peaveville Volume 4″ sampler and Acrostichon signed a contract for an album with the French Modern Primitive Records.
In March 1992 Acrostichon recorded their debut album, called "Engraved in Black", with producer Colin Richardson. To great frustration of the band it took the label almost a year to release the album. Finally, in early 1993 "Engraved in black" was available.
Acrostichon played many gigs with great bands like: Carcass, Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, Death, Master, Massacra, Sodom, Revenant, Asphyx, Hellbastard, Lemming project, Atrocity, Cerebral fix, Tiamat, Samael, Gorefest, Thanatos, Dead Head, Sinister, The Gathering, Pungent Stench, and many more.
In 1994 Richard left the band to concentrate on his other band Black Melody (Later to become Robotmonster) and was replaced by Michel on guitar. He still accounted for the artwork. They signed a record deal with Double Noise Records and in January 1995 the CD-EP "Forgotten" was released later on to be followed by the second album "Sentenced".
In 1998 the band broke up and Jos, Serge, Michel and Tjerk (who replaced Corinne in the final line-up), decided to start a new band: Outburst
Years past and after several requests to reunite the band Jos, Corinne, Serge and Richard decided to play for close friend Mario on his "Mario's Metal Mania" festival, on Oct 4th 2009. The reunion gig was great fun and the response was overwelming.
The band had a great time and decided to continue. Although not in full active duty, Acrostichon will play occasional gigs.

Technology is increasingly integrated with our everyday lives. Whether keeping in touch with friends, listening to music, buying train tickets, looking for a job, or paying our bills – it is almost inevitable that a computerized device, often connected to the internet, is involved in the process.
But not all interfaces are equal. We've all had experiences as consumers that leave us shaking our heads in disbelief, frustration or confusion. Common examples include programming the VCR, dealing with automated call centres, or trying to work out what to do next on some websites.
Today I'm interviewing Natalie Webb, an expert in usability and user-centred design. She brings a unique perspective to the topic, with qualifications in psychology and human computer interaction, broad business nous, and deep usability skills. After working with specialist firm Amberlight in the UK, she now runs her own consultancy called Matau.
Q. Natalie, you specialise in usability and user-centred design. How would you describe what this means?
It is about designing products and systems that are centred around peoples' needs and behaviour. The opposite is making people bend around the demands of a technology or system.
Q. What sort of business impact does user-centred design have? Can it make a big difference to the chance of a new venture succeeding?
User centred design minimises risk; you understand requirements, create and evaluate solutions at an early stage of development. It is very expensive to alter a developed product, and you are usually much more limited in what you can change.
User centred design also helps innovation; once you know what needs and problems exist you can be creative in how to address these. Designing an easy to use, pleasurable and useful product or service will always help a new venture succeed.
Q. Is usability more of an art or a science? What techniques and approaches do you typically apply when working with clients?
The question on whether user experience is an art or science is vigorously debated! I believe it can be both, which reflects its diverse roots. You can conduct experimental studies as you do in psychology, do qualitative field research as done in social sciences, or be design focused when creating solutions. I believe a lot of commercial HCI is a craft which reflects the expertise of the practitioner in gathering, analysing and designing.
Typical approaches used in HCI include going into the field to observe and interview people to understand requirements. Testing of prototypes, from paper sketches to almost the real thing, is very common. This helps to find out what interaction and flows are working. Testing live products and systems is often done to see what the current problems are.
Q. You've said before that good design is often about saying no, about not trying to be everything to everyone. What do you mean by this?
Good design needs clarity of focus – what is the design problem? What is the context of use? Who are the intended users? An overall vision for a design will help guard against 'feature-itis'. Different stakeholders will want to add their little bit in under the assumption that more is generally better. However this way lies clutter and confusion of purpose. It is better to design a brilliant service for 10% then a pretty bad service for all.
Below are two examples of home pages for mobile phone service providers in the UK. To me the T-mobile site is much simpler to understand and navigate as a customer. The Orange site is half-portal half-mobile phone company. It is much more confusing to navigate through and understand what it is for. Flash animation is distracting too. I question if the Orange site is trying to do too many things and has avoided some decisions on what the home page is not going to do.
Q. Any advice for entrepreneurs out there when it comes to usability?
Usability doesn't have to be a major commitment of time and effort. It is better to get some feedback than none at all. You don't need expensive tools: go interview and watch some customers as they work and play. Invite feedback. Show some sketches and storyboards of some ideas to a few end users. People are always fascinating and often surprising. There will always be things you don't anticipate and it is better to know early then when it's too painful to change!

Skoda Octavia vRS Hatchback
The Skoda Octavia vRS 2.0T FSI DSG Hatchback is sparring for a fight.
The Skoda Octavia vRS 2.0T FSI DSG Hatchback is sparring for a fight. It is sick of those who scoff at the 'Skoda' badge, mock the Octavia's image, and cry with laughter when they spot 'vRS' markings on this practical family workhorse. Big mistake. This particular mile-muncher rockets to 62mph in 7.2 seconds and races to 149mph. That is the kind of performance that turns this sensible everyday hatchback into a fun-focussed rocket.The Skoda Octavia vRS' 2.0-litre petrol engine produces 200PS and 206lb ft of torque. This rather considerable power is sent to the front wheels via six-speed automatic DSG transmission. However, enthusiastic motorists can dance around the cogs manually too. Furthermore the Octavia's steering feels pin-sharp, it corners beautifully, and the ride is perfectly comfortable. So, this is a car that performs far better than its badge suggests. So, let us consider practicality. The turbocharged Skoda Octavia vRS 2.0T FSI DSG hatchback can carry five people plus 585-litres of luggage. Abandoning a few passengers and folding the rear seats flat increases storage space to 1,455-litres. Running costs are sensible too, as this desirable racer averages 36.7mpg and its emissions are only 180g/ km. This equates to road tax band I/£210. And the price? How does £21,370 sound?

Dark-eyed Junco Junco hyemalis
Order: PASSERIFORMES Family: Sparrows (Emberizidae)
The Dark-eyed Junco is a medium-sized sparrow with dark gray plumage on its head, breast and upper parts which contrast with the white, outer tail and white belly. The female and immature juncos are less slate colored and tend to be browner than the adult male.
Dark-eyed juncos usually hop or walk as they move along the ground. Females tend to winter farther south away from the males. Males need to risk harsh winters farther north in order to be closer to their breeding grounds. Females do not need to compete for territories in the spring and can take their time returning. The younger males winter the farthest north and must work hard to claim a breeding spot. Dominant birds have an advantage when feeding and claiming territories and will face another bird and raise and fan their tails, revealing the white outer tail feathers. They may also rush at or peck at subordinate birds in order to chase them away. Aggressive behavior occurs mainly in winter flocks and increases with increasing flock size.
Dark-eyed Juncos are often called "Snowbirds," possibly due to the fact that they are more likely to visit feeding stations during snowy periods. Many people also believe their return from their northern breeding grounds foretells the return of cold and snowy weather. Another possible source of the nickname may be the white belly plumage and slate-colored back of the Junco, which has been described as "leaden skies above, snow below."

How To Choose a Conveyancing Lawyer
Whether you're buying or selling a house/ property in Singapore, you'll probably have to appoint a law firm to represent yourself.These law firms or lawyers are conveyancing lawyers and actually help to perform a number of administrative functions on behalf of their clients.
Conveyancing law firms in Singapore range from sole practitioners to large multi-national law firms, such as Allen & Gledhill or Rajah & Tann. With the difference in prestige and firm size, there are naturally differences in prices as well, solo practitioners can charge as low as a couple thousand dollars while large firms may charge tens of thousands for a simple transaction.
What A Conveyancing Lawyer Does For A Property Buyer
Before Signing Option to purchase
Help to ensure that the contract has fair terms and conditions that are relevant to your specific situation and requirements. Getting a conveyancing lawyer only after the option to purchase may allow sellers or agents to put forth terms that are very much to their advantage.
Ensures that sellers own the property and can sell the property to you. They also help to check other details such as plot size and remaining tenure. They also assist in liaising with the seller's lawyer to exercise the option to purchase and set up the conveyancing account.
After Signing Option to Purchase
Assist with application to use CPF funds for the purchase of property
Search to ensure there are no legal concerns with the property
Send legal requisitions to relevant government bodies/ agencies/ departments
Help to ask the seller questions to obtain all relevant property information
Check any formal legally binding contracts to ensure all necessary terms are included
Provide a detailed breakdown of deposit, fees, stamp duty, taxes and payment schedule

Cherokee is still standing after Irene ripped through our city like a steam engine knocking down trees and power lines. After sitting in our Family Room for a few hours, we made an executive decision to evacuate. This is what we found the next day.
Irene did her fair share of damage to Richmond. There are still 50% of Richmonders without power and lots of trees to clean up. Dominion Virginia Power estimates that all of Richmond's power will be restored by Saturday morning.
As you drive by neighborhoods around our city, open your windows and you will only hear the sound of generators. Almost every home was affected. It's amazing.
After a few hours of tender-loving care, Cherokee is like new again… all she needs is her power back.

7220 Cherokee has many unique features that stand out, but the patio and back porch are my favorite. As soon as you see the backyard, the home invites you in with its peaceful brick patio and large covered porch. The porch is large enough for furniture and already contains a swing. The patio has space for more décor as well as your grill and other plants. Ornate ironwork highlights the porch while huge hostas and boxwoods surround the patio.
This space is perfect for entertaining lots of family and friends, but can be private enough to separate you from the rest of the neighborhood. Check out Cherokee for more information.
If you are interested in adding this feature to your home and live in the Richmond area, contact us. If you live outside the Richmond area and are curious, contact your local homebuilder association.

Short Sales are becoming increasingly more common these days due to the economy. A big surprise, I know. So what is a short sale anyway and who should be considering the process?
The definition of a short sale is when your lender agrees to discount your mortgage in order for you to sell your home. In other words, you owe more than you can get for your house. The reputation of a short sale is that it is a long process and should be avoided at all costs. In these economic times, it's not easy to avoid the short sale. Many of us are losing our jobs or taking a pay cut. It's tough to continue paying your bills on a lower income. Sellers resort to the short sale because they accept that they can't make their mortgage payments and they'd like to sell before foreclosure.
Not all sellers qualify to take this route. Sellers, who fall short on their mortgage payments and need to sell, must be approved for the short sale process. Another frightening task in this new economy, but lenders must protect themselves. The best option to see if you qualify is to apply when a contract comes in on your home. You know what the situation is; you have all of the necessary paperwork to prove your situation; you have a contract that is less than what you owe; and your agent has the comparables to prove this contract is realistic.
If you are able to cooperate with your real estate agent and lender and provide all of the paperwork needed to qualify, your short sale process will go smoothly.
To learn more about short sales, contact your REALTOR® or mortgage lender. You can also click on this link to find out more.

Washing Away Soap Scum
I use dishwashing detergent on any stubborn stain, whether it's a burnt pan or grease stain on the stove. Dishwashing detergent is super-strong and is made to wash away grease on your dishes! It can tackle anything.
Here's another example how dishwashing detergent will solve a problem quickly!
What You Will Need:
Dishwashing Detergent
Old rag
1) Clear away all shampoo bottles, bars of soap, etc. from tub.
2) Squirt about 2 T worth of detergent on most affected areas. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
3) Using a damp rag, scrub detergent away. Rinse several times.
4) Pour two capfuls of bleach over affected areas and let sit.
5) Scrub with damp rag.
6) Voila!
No excuses for a dingy tub during your next Open House!

This is one of those dishes that you dream about the night after you eat it. It was absolutely positively heavenly. My husband's words were "this stuff's addictive. Well done." I was thinking the same thing. I can't take the credit because it was David Downie from Bon Appétit who came up with an excellent combination. We've all heard of melon and prosciutto, but never orange with prosciutto. This was delightful. The sweetness of the orange matched the saltiness of the prosciutto perfectly. Add some cream, cheese and pasta and Downie came up with a masterpiece. I made a few minor changes, but nothing too different. The dish is simple enough yet decadent. I promise you will agree. Try it! You'll love it as much as we did.
What You Will Need:
|(I used olive oil instead of the butter last minute)
2 oz prosciutto very thinly sliced, coarsely chopped
|(I'm loving my new camera)
1 navel orange
|Can you tell?
½ C heavy cream
½ C finely grated parmesan
½ box of whole wheat linguine
What You Already Have:
2 T olive oil
Large pot
Large skillet
Small bowl
Cutting board
1) Cook pasta according to package directions, but remove about 2 minutes before completely cooked. Reserve ¼ C pasta water.
2) Drain in colander.
3) While pasta cooks, zest entire orange and reserve. Cut orange in half and squeeze juice into small bowl. Set aside.
4) Heat olive oil over medium heat in large skillet.
5) Add prosciutto and brown. (Don't overdo it.)
6) Stir in pasta water, oj, cream and a pinch of zest. Bring to boil.
7) Add pasta and another pinch of zest. Stir to cover pasta in all the juices.
8) Gradually stir in parmesan so that it coats the pasta evenly.
9) Serve.

The Kitchen?
|7220 Cherokee
In this market, buyers are looking for move-in ready homes with updated kitchens, bathrooms, fixtures, new windows, new plumbing, etc. More often than not they will choose a home that has a new kitchen rather than one with pea-green appliances from the 70's. Buyers like the couple from Young House Love who are seeking fixer-uppers are hard to come by.
When deciding to sell, you have to pick your battles. Should you redo all of it? The best thing to do would be to keep up with your home. I've advised you time and time again to maintain your home. If you don't, you're definitely going to run into problems when it comes time to sell.
The best thing to do is to keep up with the times. Make sure you pick things that are current. Don't go crazy unless you plan on staying there for a while. You might love bright green cabinets in your kitchen, but the buying public will most likely beg to differ. On the other hand, enjoy your home while you're living there!
When faced with the decision to sell, this kitchen needed a major overhaul. The cabinets, floors, appliances, and countertops had to go! There were marks on the countertop from when the owner used it as a cutting board. The cabinets were flimsy and ancient. The dishwasher and stove were old! Terra cotta tiles made up the floor in the area near the stove and sink.
With some tender love and care, everything was replaced.
Beautiful. This kitchen is neutral, current and classic. Laminate became granite; they added new windows; custom oak cabinets replaced cedar; hardwood was put in the entire kitchen to match the rest of the home; stainless steel appliances were brought in to add the finishing touch.

A 53-year-old assistant Mizzou instructor was reportedly arrested after dragging a teen girl out of school by her hair and giving her a classic Islamic smack down.
Isn't this the stuff the predatory left accuses the Klan of doing?
Islam is the largest, oldest, and bloodiest hate group in human history. On it's best day Islamic terror exceeds that attributed to the American Klans spanning their entire history.
Nonetheless, the predatory left continues to embrace Islam as the collective victim of white racism and intolerance.
In this case it was a relative of the victim who spotted the girl, age 14, not wearing her traditional hijab, the Islamic head scarf. Reports say the Youssif Z. Omar stormed into Hickman High School in Columbia, Missouri, dragged the girl out of school by her hair, and beat her.
Apparently the two individuals are related.
• We're guessing Omar didn't bother to check in with the school office before proceeding to the victim's classroom. People who are accustomed to blowing stuff up, flying jetliners into skyscrapers, and pooping in public don't seem to be hampered by traditional Western protocols.
• Meanwhile -- somewhere is the foggy politosphere -- Hillary Clinton is complaining; arguing that we should open America's borders to hundreds of thousands of alleged Syrian refugees whom she describes as "widows and orphans."
• I wonder if Hillary has ever laid asleep at night when, abruptly, her eyes popped wide open as the thought entered her mind: "Hey! I wonder how the widows and orphans became widows and orphans?!"
• And I wonder if Hillary will continue her faux-feminist diatribes as she pretends to care about women's rights while inviting the world's most misogynistic hate group -- Islam -- to invade our nation.
• And, finally, I wonder if Omar is a Democrat.
Please report typos...

Columbia police on Wednesday arrested a 53-year-old man who allegedly pulled a teenage family member out of Hickman High School by her hair and slapped her.
Police re-sponded at 3 p.m. Tuesday to the school, 1104 N. Providence Road, for a child abuse call, Officer Latisha Stroer said in an email. Youssif Z. Omar was at the school and noticed a 14-year-old female family member was not wearing a hijab, a traditional headscarf that some Muslim women wear. Omar became irate, Stroer said, grabbed the girl "very violently by the hair" and pulled her outside and down a flight of stairs.
Omar allegedly slapped the girl's face and pulled her into his car by her hair, Stroer said. Police arrested Omar on suspicion of child abuse, a felony, at 5:10 p.m. Wednesday at his residence in the 1700 block of Timber Creek Drive. He was released from the Boone County Jail after posting a $4,500 bond.

Different types of floor surface require different polishing techniques to keep them looking their best. Many people choose to hire professionals to polish their floors using specialist products. However there are some tips you can follow to carry out the procedure on your own.
Polishing Wooden Floors
It is important to polish a hardwood floor to keep it looking new. After sweeping any debris from the floor, it should be thoroughly cleaned with a mop and floor cleaner. Once the floor is completely dry, it can be waxed with a good quality floor wax. The best procedure is to wax one section at a time and work around the whole room. The wax must be left to dry before the floor can be walked across and furniture replaced.
Polishing Concrete Floors
Polishing a concrete floor requires substantial equipment, normally a grinder and polishing disks. Most people rent the equipment, as the job does not need to be done very often. After sweeping all debris from the floor, you can start to polish the floor with the coarsest-grit polishing disk available. It is recommended to use between 250 to 500. The coarsest grit polishing disk is 250; the finest is 1500. Working the entire floor in circular motions with the coarse-grit disk will remove all rough patches. Next, change to a finer-grit polishing disk and go over the floor, again in circular movements. The last stage in the polishing procedure is to use the finest-grit polishing disk, which will give the surface shine. By overlapping the circles, the best finish will be achieved. Finally, a special concrete floor cleaner can be applied to build up resistant to dirt.
Polishing Marble Floors
While beautiful, a marble floor is easily damaged or stained, which makes a good polishing procedure vital. After clearing all debris from the floor, a light coating of chalk powder should be applied with a damp cloth. After leaving it to dry for a couple of hours, the marble floor should be rinsed clean. Alternatively, a special polishing product for marble can be purchased; apply this in small doses to the floor by working a cloth over the floor, section by section. A final polish with a buffer will increase the shine of the marble floor.

Following is a list of viruses provided by WIKIPEDIA. The scalar energy pathogen cleanse includes approximately 80% of these viruses and is able to disassemble and eradicate these pathogenic agents.
In total, the scalar energy pathogenic cleanse treats people for over three thousand (3000) species of virus:
- HIV virus
- cytomegalovirus
- hepatitis virus
- influenza virus
- herpes simplex virus-1
- herpes simplex virus-2
- Ebola virus
- Epstein-Barr virus
- mumps virus
- parvovirus
- human papillomavirus
List of Viruses bacteria & germs included in the Pathogen Cleanse
List of Viruses – Please click this link and bookmark for future reference
Over 10,000 species of bacteria and germs – the Pathogen Cleanse eradicates 85% of this list
As a promise to you, I will continue to increase the list of viruses in the pathogen cleanse. The greater the number of pathogens that can be disassembled and eradicated from your body will result in a greater prospect of sound and vibrant health.
The scalar energy pathogenic cleanse disassembles the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) of viruses thereby rendering any virus non-viable or non-functioning. Once the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) of a virus has been disassembled and eradicated, that virus no longer exists. Scalar energy is a fundamental force in nature that allows me to have control or mastery over a virus as I am able to transmute the molecular and atomic structure of any virus. In so doing, scalar energy allows me to transmute or disassemble the nucleic acid of a virus into simpler, elemental forms, such as, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, hydrogen, sodium, etc.
Thank you for your interest in the article List of Viruses in the Pathogen Cleanse

Lime in the Coconut Tarts: Raw Food Dessert Recipe
These are just insanely good and great for summer. I really don't think there's a conventional dessert that could be any better tasting than these. I used paper cupcake cups and a cupcake pan … the paper lined pans
seemed to make just about perfect sized tarts. They certainly didn't last long in these parts, although theoretically they can be covered and frozen for up to a week.
A note about the dehydrated bananas … these need to be just
dehydrated enough to take some of the moisture out but not hard. I
dehydrated my gently for about 6 hours and that seemed to work out
- 6 dates ($3.00)
- 1/2 cup walnuts ($.50)
- 1/2 cup finely shredded coconut ($1.00)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons agave
- pinch salt
- 2 avocados ($1.49)
- 3 bananas, dehydrated ($.45)
- 4 limes, juice and zest ($2.00)
- 4 tablespoons agave ($.40)
Make the crusts first. In a food processor with the "S" blade, process
the dates until mush.
- Add the coconut, coconut oil, agave, and salt
and process until it begins to clump.
- Last, add the walnuts and process
until the walnuts are fully incorporated and the mixture sticks
- Divide the crust mixture
evenly into and press into the bottom and sides of eight paper lined
cupcake cups.
- Put in the freezer for about a half hour, until firm.
- For the filling, in the food processor with the "S" blade, process the
avocados, bananas, lime juice and zest, and agave. It takes a minute or
two, but this will become velvety smooth and the consistency of thick
- Spoon the filling into the tart crusts and chill well before serving.

In the early 21st Century the War on Terror was a billion dollar Spectacle conceived by the military-entertainment complex, which served to distract humanity from the more widespread and dangerous War on Terra. In the human zoo, we stand somewhere between monoculture and wilderness, shaping our mental ecologies from the debris of empire + revolution. Resisting the fictions broadcast by crude television satellites and saturated by tabloid media. On the streets, poetic terrorists paint the rumour of some new indigenous struggle. Earth magicians retrofit the urban ecology. New paradigms mingle with archaic lores in the interzones of the information war. We are all natives remembering the language of Terra Poetica.
TERRA POETICA is the second issue of Undergrowth Magazine - first published in May 2004, launched at the Next Wave Festival, Melbourne Australia. The issue covers issues of global environmental politics, deep ecology, activism, indigenous rights, permaculture and more.
