Post-production on the independent feature film L.A. Slasher, directed by Martin Owen and produced by Jeffrey Wright and Daniel Sollinger (Girls Against Boys, The Alphabet Killer), has been completed. Check out the teaser artwork promoting the flick below after reading the rest of the details on this film.
It stars Danny Trejo (Machete), Mischa Barton ("The O.C."), Dave Bautista (Riddick), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), Drake Bell ("Drake & Josh"), Brooke Hogan ("Hogan Knows Best"), Tori Black (Not Another Celebrity Movie), and the voice of Andy Dick ("NewsRadio").
A biting, social satire about reality TV and the glorification of people who are famous for simply being famous, L.A. Slasher explores why it has become acceptable and even admirable for people to become influential and wealthy based on no merit or talent - purely through notoriety achieved through shameful behavior. Incensed by the tabloid culture which celebrates it, the L.A. Slasher publicly abducts a series of reality TV stars, while the media and general public in turn begin to question if society is better off without them.
Says producer Wright, "Celebrity seems to have become a race to see who can push the boundaries of degrading themselves the most and spin it into profit. It seems if you achieve infamy online, regardless of the moral and ethical boundaries crossed, you will be rewarded with a reality TV show, endorsements and branding. Actions that were once considered shameful are now celebrated and rewarded. The L.A. Slasher is here to end that."
Added writer and director Owen, "Hopefully we'll tap into the zeitgeist of tabloid pop culture with L.A. Slasher. It was my intent to do so, in a fun, super-stylized, neon-lit, hyper-kinetic kind of way, with a character I think people will respond to and really, really like. I had a great time making this film, and I think that audiences, particularly those that find America's cultural obsession with faux-celebrity as ridiculous as I do, will have a great time watching it."

One of the nice features of Internet Explorer Seven is that it has a phishing alert build right into the software. What this means is that when you're using Internet Explorer 7, if someone has reported a site as a phishing site, that you can know about it as you're visiting the site. It's a nice security and social networking feature built right into the browser, and is a great deterrent, although not foolproof, way to let people help each other provide some sense of security about surfing the Internet.
Watch the video below to see an example of Internet Explorer 7's Phishing site alert in action.

A few days ago I saw a worrisome headline when I flipped open my local paper, the Los Angeles Times (I say "flipped" metaphorically, because I of course only consume information through screens).
"Television Linked to Disease Risk," it said, going on to explain the connection between watching television and an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes.
"Good thing I'm too busy to watch much TV," I thought.
But the study makes clear that it's not just TV that's detrimental. It's sitting and staring for long periods of time in general. In fact, this was just the latest in a long line of studies showing that sitting - that silent, cozy killer - raises the risk for heart disease and early death. Yes, even if you exercise.
So while my daily half-hour with Hulu probably won't do me in, the very essence of my computer-based lifestyle just might. As someone who cares about health nearly as much as I care about the Internet - oh so deeply - this was alarming.
It's enough to make one wonder whether the past few generations' aspiration toward "sit-down" work might have been misplaced. For the past 50 years, people have been flocking to college in order to better themselves and, in many cases, to get high-powered office jobs.
What's more, young people have increasingly sought their fortunes in big cities, a dream that worsens traffic congestion and lengthens commutes in places like L.A. (In my neck of the woods, you can't swing a head of kale without hitting an producer-to-be who commutes for hours to an internship at a studio.)
More and more, it seems that everything about the idealized urban life - the hip urban setting, the mid-size car, the creative white-collar job - may be great for our wallets and minds, but not for our bodies.
In light of all this, it would be surprising if any truly healthy careers remain. If such a thing did exist, it would probably involve physical activity for the majority of the day, living near work and seeing natural light from time to time. (Though before you quit your sales job and get back to nature, consider that fishers, loggers and steelworkers have some of the highest rates of fatalities on the job.)
It seems an organic farmer or suburban yoga teacher can probably start planning summer vacations for their late 90s. But for the rest of us, it appears even the comfortable confines of our office buildings don't protect us from the creeping health perils of modernity.
However, there are obviously reasons why people aren't abandoning the corporate ladder to go restore their cardiovascular systems by stocking shelves at the Gap. Many office jobs provide cognitive benefits that are so great we're willing to ignore the subcutaneous fat growing on our midsections. The buzz we get from finishing a demanding project can make up for our lacking the physique of a Royal Caribbean dancer.
Since we all can't quit and move to Walden, the best alternative for us indoor kids is to re-think our ideas about work and recreation. I recently wrote about companies that are heeding the warning calls of scientists and incorporating more physical activity into the work place. It's a start, but there are plenty more examples out there - including walking meetings and the ridiculous-but-amazing treadmill desk.
There's also the option of moving closer to work to avoid those soul-crushing commutes, or hopping on a bike to make the commute function as exercise time. (City planners, you could do more to make sure we have the bike lanes available to do it safely).
And if we just can't escape our endless days of sitting, there's always the option of taking up a productive but physically challenging hobby, like pitching in at Habitat for Humanity or Big Brothers Big Sisters. After a week of hard sitting, a weekend of building houses would make any dream office job seem even more dreamy.

In previous posts, I wrote about my friend Melissa Karydas – who designed a learning resource (Looking Learning) to teach her daughter Georgie how to understand the meanings of different words and and how to choose the right words.
Melissa has read my posts and while she was happy that I was singing her praises – she wanted me to make two things clear.
1. She is not a Speech Therapist. She is a motivated mum ( a physiotherapist by training) who has had success in helping her daughter Georgie who has a language learning challenge.
2. She wants to make it clear the commitment you need to help a child with language learning challenges. She wants to help other parents – because she knows what it's like to be so frustrated when your child can't master the basics of language.
First you've got to give them a vocabulary and the meanings of different words – she says.
Melissa started off collecting huge folders of pictures from magazines to help her daughter.
Do you still have the folders? – I asked
I gave them away to other parents who needed help – Melissa explained.
Melissa has asked me to help her record some videos where she will explain the real challenges and her tips on how to help your kids.
I want to people to know what it's really like – she says.
Building the vocabulary is a good start – but there's lots of catching up to do – she says.
A lot of people give up because it's so hard. I want to show people how to keep on trying and not give up!
I know this site Choose The Right Words jumps between two worlds:
1. my world of training executives (especially people from ESL background – English as a Second Language) and
2. Melissa's world of helping people with language learning challenges.
I can see the similarities because I often use my corporate training techniques to help my son and I use the simple memory devices I use with my son to help these high-powered, super-successful executives
I can see the benefits of Melissa's visual system to help my clients in my corporate work (with a modified vocabulary of course).
My son Orlando who has attention challenges and required lots of work to help him remember his schoolwork.
Whereas Melissa's daughter Georgie was very silent and shy until she built a vocabulary – my son Orlando talks incessantly and has trouble sitting still. I have to work hard to get him to remember different words and how to spell.
I'm using some of Melissa's Looking Learning images because my son learns visually (especially if there's some humour).
Anyway, I hope this blog helps you whether you are:
1. someone who wants to help people with language learning challenges
2. a parent who wants to fast track your kids with their schoolwork
3. someone wanting to learn English
I plan to start recording videos with Melissa in the next couple of weeks.

Learn functional data structures and algorithms for your applications and bring their benefits to your work now
About This Video
Moving from Object-Oriented Programming to functional programming? This book will help you get started with functional programming.
Easy-to-understand explanations of practical topics will help you get started with functional data structures.
Illustrative diagrams explain algorithms in detail.
Get hands-on with Scala to get the most out of functional programming.
In Detail
Functional data structures have the power to improve the code base of an application and improve efficiency. With the advent of functional programming, and with powerful functional languages such as Scala, Clojure and Elixir becoming part of important enterprise applications, functional data structures have gained an important place in the developer toolkit. Immutability is a cornerstone of functional programming. Immutable and persistent data structures are thread-safe by definition and hence very appealing for writing robust concurrent programs. How do we express traditional algorithms in a functional setting? Won't we end up copying too much? Do we trade performance for versioned data structures? This course attempts to answer these questions by looking at functional implementations of traditional algorithms.
It begins with a refresher and consolidates what functional programming is all about. Next, you'll get to know about Lists, the work horse data type for most functional languages. We show what structural sharing means and how it helps to make immutable data structures efficient and practical. Moving on, you will learn about binary trees, where we will be building complete trees, greedy algorithms, and back tracking

A headstrong girl discovers monsters among men in this macabre mystery featuring a fictionalized Edgar Allan Poe.
Annabel Lee leaves sunny Siam when her mother dies, traveling to filthy Philadelphia to meet the father she does not remember. She soon wishes that she had not come; he is cold, crippled and critical of his daughter. Formerly a doctor, and now toiling in his basement laboratory with his assistant(s) Edgar and Allan Poe, he dismisses her dreams of becoming a physician. Annabel finds comfort in her relationships with her grandfather and her maid, Maddy, but she cannot escape her feelings of alienation and loss. Annabel chafes at her new restrictions and uses every opportunity to show off her healing skills. Typical semihistorical-horror-novel clichés abound—the house is full of secrets, her father is a mad scientist, and there is a murderer on the loose. More of a Mobius strip than a triangle, Annabelle's romantic entanglement with creepy Edgar and Poe-poetry–spouting Allan is also standard. Aside from the dubious true-crime approach to Poe's work, readers should take note that historical facts are compressed and manipulated. Still, Verday offers a haunting portrait of a lonely, intelligent girl, while serving up gore and abundant references to classic Gothic horror stories.
A monstrous mashup of Stevenson, Shelley, Poe and some Burnett, yet inventive and engaging nevertheless. (Horror. 12-18)

By this time in the summer the tourists and vacationers are just about gone and only "locals" are around, the real lovers of the state park. We walked the very beginning of the trail that starts at the first parking lot. We got as far as The Feather, the accessible lookout over the marshes at the turn to Leo's Landing. Look what we saw along the way:
|Here is a look across the bay at the Erie Yacht Club.
|This Blue Heron tried to hide from us but we finally got a good enough view for a shot.
|This is just part of a beautiful scene on the road to Leo's Landing. The nearby sign says it is part of a restoration area being handled by the state of Pennsylvania.

I have just returned from some awesome botanising in the limestone hills between Pearly Beach and Baardskeedersbos. Even though it is quite late in the season I found some beautiful plants in full flower on the limestone ridges. This area burnt in a wild fire on a very hot day, earlier this year in March.
One of the most spectacular finds was a large population of Gladiolus miniatus in full flower.
This species is restricted to limestone outcrops from Hermanus to Cape Agulhas where it flowers from October to December. It is classified as vulnerable in the latest Red Data list of South African plants. It is probably extinct at three of 13 historically recorded locations due to urban development. Six locations are threatened by severe alien plant invasion, three are threatened by urban development and three fall within conservation areas. It is estimated that it is now found in only about 10 different locations. I have seen it before in the area but not as prolifically as now after the late summer fire.
Unfortunately the area where these plants are flowering is also showing signs of massive regeneration of Port Jackson Willow (Acacia saligna). We are working with the landowner to tackle the regrowth of this exotic tree and conserve these, and the other beautiful limestone fynbos species on the property.

Under plans unveiled in the landmark report into the future of public sector pensions by Lord Hutton, the former Labour cabinet minister, six million workers will have to retire later and pay more for a less generous scheme.
Unions and trade bodies in virtually every service immediately responded with anger to the proposals, most of which are likely to be adopted by the Government.
They raised the prospect of coordinated strikes by NHS staff, civil servants, teachers and other key public sector workers.
Brian Strutton, national officer of the GMB union, said "Lord Hutton had a real chance to make sure low paid public sector workers have good quality, affordable pension schemes, but in failing to address the key issue of affordability to members, that chance has been wasted.
"Many of his conclusions are questionable and will infuriate public sector workers. It's not cogent enough to be a blueprint for reform but it might well light the blue touch paper for industrial action."
Jon Skewes of the Royal College of Midwives added that members would be "appalled" by the Government's "attack" on their pensions.
"On top of pay freezes, cuts to services and threats to the NHS itself, this will be seen as a slap in the face for hard-pressed midwives and maternity support workers," he said.
"They will react with anger and dismay and many may vote with their feet and leave the NHS. This will only serve to exacerbate the current and critical shortage of midwives and have a negative effect on the care women and babies receive."
Bob Crow, of the RMT union, said the report would be "the spark that lights the blue touch paper of coordinated strike action".
He added: "It is crystal clear from the Hutton Review that, from nurses to transport staff, the Government intend to make staff work longer, pay more and get less.
"There is no question that this is the issue where coordinated strike action is on the cards as we fight to stop the ConDem pensions robbery."
And Brendan Barber, general secretary of the TUC, said: "Public sector workers are already suffering a wage freeze, job losses and high inflation.
"They are now desperately worried that they will no longer be able to afford their pension contributions, and will have to opt out."
But as he launched his report, Lord Hutton argued that replacing final salary pension schemes with career average pensions would benefit lower paid workers and said his aim was to make the system fairer.
By 2015, he said that most employees should expect to retire at state pension age, which is due to rise to 66 in 2020. Those working in the uniformed services would be able to draw their pension from their 60th birthday.
Warning that the current system was no longer sustainable for the taxpayer, he told Radio 4's Today Programme: "If we go on as we are, we are heading for the rocks.
"The solution is not a race to the bottom, nor to hack away at public sector pensions. The biggest risk is the rapidly rising life expectancy."
Lord Hutton said it will take several years to implement the suggested reforms, which will require legislation, so the nearer workers are to retirement, the less they will be affected.
But the former Labour minister said it was an "inescapable reality" that people will have to work longer, with the retirement age rising to 68 within the next 30 years.

Anhui Province Communist Party General Secretary Wang Jinshan gave the following speech after he had received a report on propaganda and ideological works at a recent Provincial Party Committee's standing committee meeting. The title of his speech was "To get a grip on public opinion in order to gain developmental initiatives". The speech appeared later at the Chinaelections.org website. It was met with some really harsh criticisms. Do you think General Secretary Wang deserves to be chastised over his speech?
Here is my translation and you can decide for yourselves:
We can certainly improve our productivity with our propaganda and ideological works. We are at the moment confronted with a new situation. When we are overwhelmed with information, whom should we trust? Who will be able to get to the truth and clarify the fact? How can we make people feel what we say is correct and not misleading? These questions all boil down to a single answer: we must get a grip on public opinion so that we can gain control over developmental initiatives.
Propaganda and ideological works have always been important. Our ability to occupy the propaganda battle ground will, in a sense, allow us to take a commanding position in the battle for development. When propaganda work is done properly, it will allow us to guide people's thoughts, to win their hearts and consequently to improve our productivity. Right now as we are promoting scientific innovations as a way of speeding up the rise of Anhui Province, we urgently need to inspire morale, to enhance confidence, and to forge a strong atmosphere of unity between the government and the people, so that we can strive together to achieve our developmental goals. We desperately need to consolidate our effort to grasp the opportunity for promoting development. All these will demand us to set a much higher standard for our propaganda and ideological work.
At the moment, there is no denial that we are facing a completely new situation. What kind of situation would that be? It involves the incessant emerging of new phenomena, the continuous improvement in new media and the forever changing new ideological trends. All these are posing serious challenges to our propaganda and ideological works. Last year, we excelled ourselves in propaganda works: we performed outstandingly and effectively. The next step requires us to build on our achievement to arrive at a new breakthrough. What kind of breakthrough would that be? We have to speak more often. That will include much more work for our leading cadres. From what I can see, the most important task is to work hard at improving the way we guide public opinion, to continue to make positive, healthy and upbeat mainstream public opinion more influential, and to promote social stability and economic development. We must firmly grasp the correct guidelines. We must insist on the spirit of unity and stability. We must give priority to positive propaganda. In that way we can improve the way we guide public opinion, to make it more convincing, more trustworthy and more influential. We need to make further progress in publicising our main projects and our model projects. We need to work hard at correctly guiding the way hot topics are discussed. We must further improve the mechanism through which breaking news on emergencies of public interest can be reported timely, accurately and transparently. We will make sure that all important issues are covered, so that we will not be silent at crucial moments, and that we will take a command position in the control of public opinion. These boil down to one point: we must get a grip on public opinion so that we can gain control over developmental initiatives.
Earlier when we discussed our political and legal tasks, we had a feeling that the situation had become really complicated in recent years. For our society as a whole, we must insist on using propaganda and main stream media to provide an answer to questions such as: How complex is the situation? When we are overwhelmed with information, whom should we trust? Who will be able to get to the truth and clarify the fact? How can we make people feel what we say is correct and not misleading? From a broader perspective, we must make sure that we are not treading the old and evil path. We must make sure that we stick to the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. To be successful, we must think carefully, handle our tasks seriously and work diligently.
Dear readers, you have to give me credit for ploughing through this pile of ideological mumble jumble in such a thorough manner. I did that for two reasons: (1) so that we can have a better understanding of the quality of governance at provincial China; (2) most importantly, it allows us to see how the CCP central propaganda department's policies are interpreted by its local party officials.
I desperately need some fresh air right now. I'll post my translation of the comments in the next day or so.

I live on one acre in the country and am having big problems with field mice. I have trapped 20 in the last three weeks and they are driving me crazy. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the critters? What about poisons?
It's that time of year when rodents are seeking warm places with food to spend the winter. The first thing you should do is eliminate the food supply. Start in the garage. Keep dog food, bird seed, grass and garden seeds, in covered containers. Inside, all food in the kitchen must be kept in containers. Your next step should be plugging all the obvious holes. Use fine steel wool to stuff around pipes and drainage holes. Mice can not chew through it. You can also try covering up the holes with duct tape. Walk around the house foundation and fix any obvious entry ways. Remember that mice can fit through tiny spaces much smaller than their bodies! I would advise against using poisons. Poisons are harmful to children and pets. Animals like hawks, owls, and snakes could feed on a poisoned mouse and then become poisoned themselves. I would also invest in mousetraps that can be used over and over again. The last thing to consider is getting a cat. Cats are natural predators and can be very effective at getting rid of mice in and around your house.

sorry for the bad title, but it kinda explains how I feel about that sock yarn I showed you yesterday. you know the one that's harder to find than the holy grail or the city of atlantis. yeah. that one.
I originally started to knit the pomo socks from knitty, without swatching. that was a waste of time, the cuff was way too big on 2.75mm and I got lazy and didn't want to swatch. this yarn goes from being nice to knit with to being a pure pita. can you guess why? that pic on top shows you the FIVE plies this yarn is made up of! can we say splitty!? on top of that each ply is made up of two plies. did I mention this is cotton (96% cotton 4% elite)? I've gotten used to working with the plies, but I can still see the working yarn splitting before I knit it. sour.
I don't know what the suggested needle or gauge is since none is mentioned on the ball band. compared to str lightweight(left) and koigu (far right) it seems to be your standard sock weight, except it doesn't compress nice and tight like wool. (sour) after the first needles failed, I chose to knit with 2.5mm (addi us 1's) and ended up getting 7.25-7.5 spi. the resulting fabric is soft and a little firm, but not annoyingly so. sweet.
I tried to pick a stitch pattern that wouldn't involve too many moves since I've noticed this yarn makes my wrist hurt (sour). I randomly picked the one you see because it's interesting without too many acrobatics, just a few ssk's and m1's. I was surprised to see how even my stitches look, I always hear how unforgiving cotton is. (sweet) the stitches only get ugly when the plies spread in an increase or decrease stitch. I like what I've worked out so far, but I think I'm going to flip the pattern to change the curving. I find myself staring at the sock with the toe as the top d'oh! this is going to be a slow moving project, but something tells me that it's going to be fun.
two more random notes:
so far there's no circular pooling (sweet)
the yarn isn't machine washable (sour)

"I want the freedom and the girl!"
With girlfriend in hand,
She never agreed to a marriage proposal.
Did she get disowned?
Father would rather have a son,
Mother would rather have a married daughter,
Did she end up without a home?
Homeless, however not a soulless being,
She carries her home with her wherever she goes,
With that her many closets.
She gained new friends,
A makeshift family,
Yet she misses her relatives,
Her dearest Amma and Appa,
She never could shut them out of her heart,
No matter how hard she tried,
Even if they coldly shamed her,
Amma and Appa are not callous,
A weighted silence,
A small reunion,
"Eppothum iruppaai nam kanmaniyaaga"*

Thaali – the wedding necklace
Metti- toe rings
Amma- Mother
Appa- Father
*"You shall always be our loved one (literally, precious like an eye)"

Tennis is a ladies' and gentlemen's sport, except when rackets get smashed, linesmen get screamed at, and chair umpires fear for their lives. Some of the sport's greatest players have tempers as hot, if not hotter, than their skills. Let's take a look at some of the angriest tennis players in the game's history.
6. Andy Murray
A poster boy for frustration, Andy Murray has let many a match slip away out of self doubt. When things go south, Murray mumbles, scowls, and just gets all-around pissed, sometimes until the end of the match. During one match, he completely ignored a ball boy offering him a towel. He also lost his cool during a 2014 French Open match against Nikolay Davydenko, repeatedly screaming "no way!" when a ball was called out.

Dense stands of native vegetation along Big Cottonwood Creek are critical to the health of this natural stream ecosystem.
Today, more than a million people call Salt Lake County home. In addition to being Utah's population center, Salt Lake County is also an economic center for the entire Intermountain West. With increasing development, substantial stream alterations, and
a population that is expected to reach 1.6 million by the year 2050, the watershed issues in Salt Lake County are complex and evolving.
For the most part, the mountainous areas of the County are uninhabited and forested public lands cover nearly half of Salt Lake County. These undeveloped lands are a great benefit to the health of our watersheds, and streams in most areas of the upper
canyons remain in a relatively natural state. Extensive recreation activities in the canyons do, however, contribute to stream impacts, and mining activities (both historic and existing) have severely degraded water quality in localized areas throughout
the canyons.
Development has been, and continues to be, concentrated in the foothills and valley floor. In fact, foothills are the zone of greatest urbanization throughout the Intermountain West. As a result, all waterways in these lower elevation areas of Salt Lake
County have been degraded to some degree by human activities, some quite dramatically.
Of, pertaining to, or situated along the banks of a river or other body of water. [Riparian trees provide shade that keeps stream water cool.]
There have been numerous changes to streams in urban settings over time with increasing development and changes in the landscape. The first usually comes in the form of irrigation diversions, where "first in time, first in right" water law philosophy
has dewatered (water completely removed) many a stream in the American West. Of the fourteen major creeks in Salt Lake County, several have sections that are seasonally dewatered for irrigation and culinary water use.
The second major change from urbanization comes from land use encroachment of the stream channel and floodplain. The width of the creek is usually decreased, but the most dramatic impact is often to streamside vegetation—called riparian vegetation. The
entire ecology of the stream environment changes when native shrub and tree species are removed, and with this change goes the wildlife and a stream's ability to control pollutants. Some of the most devastating habitat loss occurs where buildings,
paved surfaces, and manicured lawns extend right up to the water's edge.
The final dramatic change can occur years later when stream waters flow faster, volumes grow larger (with increased runoff from impermeable urban surfaces), and flooding increases at virtually every constriction, whether natural or man-made. This leads
to a higher probability of erosion, degraded water quality, flooding, and property damage.
As development pressure continues to put any remaining riparian habitat at risk, a greater understanding and appreciation of the value of native vegetation and working with the natural functions of streams can lead to creative solutions for homeowners,
developers and landscapers. This guide explores a variety of ways to help protect against and reverse the stresses that human activities put on stream ecosystems.

New developments on the Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower front: Last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit decided that claims brought under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act whistleblower provisions can be arbitrated.
Former Aetna auditor Linda Guyden said the company fired her because she was working to increase internal oversight. When she filed suit under the Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower provision, the U.S. district court dismissed her claim and compelled arbitration according to a previously signed agreement between the company and Guyden.
On appeal, the Second Circuit judges disagreed with Guyden's argument that there is an "inherent conflict" between Sarbanes-Oxley's goals of increasing accountability and the "mechanism of arbitration."
Law.com quotes the opinion as follows:
The provision's focus on the plaintiff's state of mind rather than on the defendant's conduct is inconsistent with what Guyden argues is the statutory purpose -- to employ SOX retaliation litigation as a vehicle for publicizing corporate misconduct. It is far more consistent with a statutory purpose to provide a strong compensatory mechanism for employees subjected to adverse employment action as a result of their whistleblowing conduct.

It seems that Sunday has become the day to make soup. Inspiration this week came from a Vegetarian Times recipe for Fennel Tomato Soup. I picked up a fennel bulb, used up a quart of tomatoes that I had canned over the summer (with added basil) and added a bulb of roasted garlic.
Roasted Fennel, Garlic and Tomato Soup
- olive oil
- 1 large fennel bulb, quartered
- 2-3 carrots chopped
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 bulb of garlic, top trimmed off
- dry white wine
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 28-oz. can crushed tomatoes, fire roasted or with basil ( I used up a quart that I had canned over the summer that I had added basil to)
- crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- salt and pepper
Quarter the fennel bulb and onion, dice carrots and trim the top of the garlic ( I actually had a lot of loose pieces). Toss fennel, onion and carrot with salt, pepper and olive oil, spread on a sheet pan. Wrap garlic in foil, pour over abut a 1/2 tbs of oil and loosely close. Place on the sheet pan with the other veggies and roast at 400 for 20-30 minutes, stirring the vegetables up about 1/2 way through.
Take the roasted vegetables, squeeze the garlic out of its skin and add to a large pot. Add tomatoes, broth, wine, chili flakes and vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
I let this simmer for about 20 minutes and then used my immersion blender (Thanks Mom). I topped the soup before serving with Parmesan cheese and some of the fennel frawns.

I so excited today is my first blog posy over at Hambly Studio I Love working with there overlays, papers, rubons, and tape!!
Today I would like to show you how to make a fun gift card holder. I made these so they could hang on my tree and when my family comes over they can go and find theirs off the tree. I really love how the Hambly overlays worked with this project.
First, you need a solid cardstock. I used both kraft and white. You also need a patterned stocking, mitten, ect. I went online and found a stocking coloring page and printed it out. Make sure you print out 2 copies. The second copy is to cut out the toe, heel, and top. And you will need a pencil to trace and scissors to cut. I also used a variety of Hambly products such as: Hambly Overlays Lattice HO837, Houndstooth HO674, Mini Brocade HO844, High Tea HO801, Falling Snowflakes HO759,
Frosty Snowflakes HO541, Grandma's Wallpaper, Houndstooth HO673, Washi Tape #2 DT102, P7901 Alphabet, P7904 Christmas, P7855 Alphabet, Sewing Rub-on R544
Next, I traced the stockings on my cardstock. Make sure to flip the second one since most cardstock has a textured side.
Then I took the toe, heel, and top and place them on the Hambly overlays and cut out my patterns. I cut out 2 of each one for the front and one for the back of the stocking.
Here is what it looks like together. I adhered the Hambly Overlays to the stocking.
Then I put the 2 pieces of stocking together and sewed around the sides. *make sure not to sew the top*
Then once your done sewing you can decorate how ever you like. Here is a picture of the finished stocking and a close up of the details. I chose to use Hambly kraft stickers, Hambly Alpha stickers, Hambly Washi Tape, Hambly Rub-on, and buttons from my stash. Also I used a black sharpie to make my "stitches" around the top, heel, and toe.
Here are 2 more stockings I made. The letters on each of the stockings are the first initial in each of my nephew and nieces names. And then I added their gift card and some candy. Also wanted to mention I just poked a hole in the back and added the twine to hang it.
I hope I have inspired you to make giving cards a little more personal.

Welcome to River Murray Boating and Recreational Advisory Group
Our Scope and Vision
The 'River Murray Boating and Recreational Advisory Group' RMBRAG is a community based group established to develop strategies which enhance the experience of river users and manage the impact of the river users on the environment and other users.
These strategies will be developed with the intention of producing content that is aimed at stewardship of the riverine environment, educating all users of the river, determining the impact of each activity on the riverine environment and others and changing behaviors so that all appropriate activities can be enjoyed safely.
To achieve this vision the group will
- Follow a fair and equitable community engagement and consultation process
- Draw on support from local and state government.
- Establish a structure that ensures balanced representation
- Seek representation from all identified interest groups
- Establish strategies and implementation plans to effect initiatives
- Develop recommendations to government
- Work closely with government to effect the plans and recommendations
- Encourage the user groups to take responsibility for the development solutions to resolve identified issues.
Our Strategies
- To develop a code of conduct for the diverse and varied activities that are undertaken on the river and its immediate environment.
- To develop a communications and education plan that effectively connects with the range of demographics and generations who use the river.
- To provide solutions and recommendations to government for implementation and seek support financially and in kind.
Identified issues
- Noise from boat motors
- Noise from speakers on boats
- Wash from boats
- Behaviours of boat drivers
- Houseboats operation and noise
- Erosion and damage from wash
- Lack of consideration of other users
- Lack of understanding of the impact on others
- Sensitive and fragile zone management.
- DPTI and transport safety liaison
- Local government commitment and integration

2018 Syrah
Please check back with us in December.
An almost 50/50 blend of Syrah and Grenache, with fruit sourced from the most renowned AVA's of the Central Coast. Notes of chocolate and truffle hit the nose, but upon swirling the glass, aromas shift to dried prunes, savory allspice and black pepper. A portion of the Syrah was aged in oak barrels, whereas the Grenache, blended with a small dollop of Syrah, was aged in amphorae. Drink now if looking for a hearty and spicy wine or wait a few months to allow full integration of nose and palate.

The Hammelehle und Ahrens gallery was opened in Stuttgart in 1994 by Bernd Hammelehle and Sven O. Ahrens with the first solo exhibition by sculptor Stefan Kern. Having shown about 20 exhibitions in the first two years, with artists including Ina Weber, Vincent Tavenne, Matthias Schaufler, Martin Kippenberger, Stephan Jung, Charline von Heyl, Tobias Rehberger, Martin Gostner and Markus Oehlen, the gallery moved to new and larger premises, taking over a floor in a 19th century period building in the Hohenstaufenstraße. Against the background of their own artistic training and their view on self-contained, contemporary positions in painting and sculpture of German origin, the gallery developed a clearly profiled gallery program from the consistent cooperation with the artists. This has been constantly deepened and broadened since, and by now includes around 30 gallery publications and cooperation projects.
2002 the gallery moved to Cologne to the address "An der Schanz 1a" into the building of a former substation from the 1970s. The hermetically sealed concrete monolith was rebuilt by architect Bernd Kniess into the multi-storey gallery-building "ads1a" and has won several awards for its redesign. This included equipping the formerly windowless facade with transparent skylight-domes and thus congenially transforming the concrete cube for its intended new use by formally simple means. In addition to Hammelehle and Ahrens, the gallery-building "ads1a" currently houses the galleries Berthold Pott and kuk Krupic Kersting.
Since moving to Cologne, Hammelehle and Ahrens has shown solo and group exhibitions with Thomas Arnolds, André Butzer, Lutz Driessen, Jan Scharrelmann, Tim Berresheim / Jonathan Meese, Jens Wolf, Martha Jungwirth / Albert Oehlen / Matthias Schaufler, Thomas Rentmeister and Thomas Grötz amongst others.

Part of me has always wanted to create more resources for teachers that were beneficial without being pricey. I'm a big fan of teacherspayteachers.com and teachersnotebook.com. So many teachers out there have created great ideas, but sometimes the money is a factor when looking to buy something. Actually I don't think I've ever spent much at all on either site. I preferred to browse the free stuff and download what was necessary.
A couple of weeks ago, there was a post on the WeAreTeachers HELPLINE Facebook page about creating resources for others and utilizing teacherspayteachers to share the resources. Some comments lamented the fact that cutesy was seen to be a selling point, and not so much the content in the case of some of the content. I do have a few things on teacherspayteachers myself, but I forego the need for any cute clipart. That's not me. I wanted to get a lesson plan out there without all of the bells and whistles of cute and attractive. Honestly I wish I could have posted more free stuff on the site. What I do have on there is marked as low as possible and I only make 29 cents from the entire transaction.
To me, it's not about the money at all. It's about making that one lesson plan that a teacher needs, and having all of the needed parts to make it successful. I'm hoping as time passes to be able to post more lessons for others to have. Time will tell.
Today we have a lesson developed for an 8th grade ELA classroom. It could certainly be adapted to a higher level, but the big focus of the lesson is on the transition between middle and high school. A summary follows, and then the link to the lesson plan itself. The lesson plan includes an in depth explanation of all parts, and an assessment rubric as well. Standards listed are based on WV, but can be adapted to other state standards. Once I gather the rest of the student samples of work from doing this lesson in a classroom, I'll share those results.
Students will take the concept of the hero's quest and apply it to their own personal
experience of the soon to be transition from middle school to high school, focusing on the psychological experience. Students will use Storybird.com to create a poem that demonstrates the emotional turmoil of this transition. They will then summarize the poem based on the speaker. Once this has been doing, students will take turns reading each other's poems, making their own interpretations and connections.

Ulcerative colitisLiving with
There are a few things you can do to help keep symptoms of ulcerative colitis under control and reduce your risk of complications.
Ulcerative colitis is inflammation of the lower end of your digestive system, including your large bowel and rectum.
Common symptoms of ulcerative colitis include frequent diarrhoea (which may be bloody), stomach aches and needing to go to the toilet a lot.
It's not clear what causes ulcerative colitis. A possible cause is your immune system attacking your digestive system.
Ulcerative colitis is usually treated with medicines that reduce the inflammation in your digestive system. Surgery may be needed in severe cases.

Although serious flooding events are rare, the council still needs to be prepared to respond to the risk of flooding at all times. Our drainage team is responsible for investigating any flooding in Portsmouth, and works to prevent future flood events by improving drainage throughout the city.
If there is risk to life or serious risk to property or the environment as a result of flooding, call 999.
See below for advice on how to prepare for a flood, and what to do during and after one. There is also more detailed information on the types of flooding that occur and our flood protection policies available for download.
We suggest all residents living in flood zones register for flood alerts and complete a flood plan. The plan collects together essential information you will need in the unlikely event you are flooded. This will help you make the right decisions before and after a flood. For example, Portsmouth City Council do not supply sandbags, so you will need to buy them from your local DIY store. The Environment Agency also offer useful advice in the flood section of their website.
If you would like any help with your flood plan please contact us, or phone the Environment Agency's Floodline on 0345 988 1188.
The council's Surface Water Management Plan identifies and prioritises the areas of Portsmouth at greatest risk from surface water flooding, defined as heavy rainfall creating more water than the drainage system can cope with. Most flooding in Portsmouth is caused by surface water which, by its very nature, is very difficult to predict. This makes providing accurate and timely warnings difficult.
Drains in the gutters at the side of the road, known as gullies, can overflow in times of heavy rainfall. Gullies may not appear to be coping with heavy rainfall, but do allow some time for water to subside and then, if the drainage does not improve, let the City Helpdesk know on 023 9283 4092.
Portsmouth Water supplies water to the city, and is responsible for all pipework up to and including the stopcock. To report a burst water main, phone Portsmouth Water on 0800 434 6104. Use the Portsmouth Water online form to report smaller leaks.
Portsmouth may be susceptible to coastal flooding, but it is relatively easy to predict. If your home or business is at risk of flooding, you should register for flood alerts. These can be recieved by phone, email or text message. The service is free.
When the Environment Agency warns of tidal flood, the council deploys floodgates and flood boards in Old Portsmouth. Follow the link for more information on the council's approach to coastal flooding. Portsmouth City Council is also a member of the Eastern Solent Coastal Partnership.
Gov.uk also manages the risk of floods and coastal change.
Portsmouth City Council's overall aim is to reduce the risks to people and property from flooding. When drawing up plans or considering applications for development, we try to direct development to sites at lower risk of flooding. To be able to do this, we need to know as much as possible about the flooding risks in the city. All our assessments and reports, along with relevant annexes and maps, can be found here.

This month the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate reached 5%, the highest since 2011. The rate trend appears to be heading up, as the Fed signals at least one more benchmark rate hike before the end of 2018.
There is an entire generation of homeowners and homebuyers out there who have not seen rates at this level. So what will happen next?
Zillow and other experts anticipate new homebuyers will need to spend on average an extra $1,416 per year on a mortgage payment on the same median-priced home vs. a year prior, limiting purchasing power and potentially dampening buying demand. Some jumped straight to predicting higher rates will trigger more home price cuts and lower home prices.
Alongside rate watchers and housing experts, homebuyers have also chimed in. First, they expect mortgage rates to stay higher. In the latest ValueInsured Modern Homebuyer Survey conducted in Q3, 2018, 6 in 10 homebuyers believe 30-year fixed mortgage rate will stay above 5% as they enter the new year; over 1 in 3 (37%) believe it will reach past 5.25% by the end of 2019.
Interestingly, homeowners who have lived through higher mortgage rates before the Fed began its recent series of post-crisis rate cuts are more likely to predict higher rates beginning in 2019. Among all homeowners, 80% believe the Fed will raise benchmark rate again this year. 72% of them went as far as saying the era of low-interest rates and affordable mortgages are coming to an end.
Americans do not expect all home buying to come to a halt just because rates are moving higher. They recognize most will still want to pursue the American Dream of owning a home, despite higher rates being another barrier. Overall, just over half (53%) expect higher mortgage rates to lower buying demand in their local neighborhood, or to drive down the buyers budget. Millennials, who are more price-sensitive and less averse to renting, tend to attribute more negative housing market impact to rising rates, while suburban homeowners tend to expect a more muted impact in their neighborhood:
- Among all Americans, 33% believe home-buying demand will decrease as a direct result of rising mortgage rates, while another 21% believe demand will stay at the same level, but home-purchase budgets will be lower
- Among millennials, 39% believe buying demand will decrease, with another 22% who believe demand will stay the same, but budgets will be lower
- Among suburban homeowners, 32% believe buying demand will decrease, with another 17% who believe demand will stay the same, but budgets will be lower
There is a sizeable group of prospective first-time homebuyers who believe rising rates will actually increase buying demand in the short term. 27% of all non-homeowners who wish to buy their first home in the near future say rising rates would make them more eager to buy sooner. They expect to tighten their spending further to buy as soon as possible without lowering their home-price budget; with their expectation that their monthly payments will be higher the longer they wait.

The Miss Bristol-Forestville Scholarship Program held two pageants on Saturday resulting in a coterie of new representatives for the city.
In the evening, a new Miss Forestville and Miss Bristol were crowned as well as three "Outstanding Teens."
The new Miss Forestville is Molly Westfall. The new Miss Bristol is Elizabeth Wong.
The new Miss Forestville's Outstanding Teen is Erika Farrell. The new Miss Bristol's Outstanding Teen is Amber Ouellette. The new Miss Plainville's Outstanding Teen is Brooklynne Murdock.
Earlier in the day, the organization also presented the 2014 Petite, Little, Junior, and Pre-Teen Miss Bristol-Forestville pageant. Sabrina Debaise was crowned Pre-Teen Miss Bristol. Jenna Simiatkoski was crowned Junior Miss Forestville. Sarah Lacouture was crowned Little Miss Bristol. Camryn Patton was crowned Petite Miss Forestville.
Molly Westfall had already served one term as Miss Forestville, ran for another title and won, and now has returned to the city and won the title of Miss Forestville again.
"I'm back and ready to work," said Westfall after the pageant. "I'm looking forward to working with the Army Strong Center this year. It just opened at the end of my reign as Miss Forestville 2012. I'm excited to get in there and promoting my platform (Supporting Our Troops: Past, Present, and Future) at a new level."
"I'm really excited. It was kind of semi-unexpected," said Elizabeth Wong on how it felt to be crowned Miss Bristol. "I tried to bring my A-game and here I am."
For the next year, Wong said she was looking forward to "really implementing my platform (Keep Calm and Be Healthy: Cardiac Awareness for Young Hearts) in this town. I'm really excited to come into the community and spread my message to the people."
"I have so many emotions right now I don't know what to think," said Erika Farrell, the new Miss Forestville's Outstanding Teen. "I'm so blessed and happy and proud to have won this title."
Now that she won, Farrell said, "I'm looking forward to having a lot of fund raisers for my platform (Making Marvelous Miracles in support of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals) and being out in the community volunteering."
A still emotional Miss Bristol's Outstanding Teen Amber Ouellette said, "I have no words (having won). I'm speechless. I'm so happy. I can't wait to start."
As for what she was looking forward to as a titleholder, Ouellette said, "Definitely working my platform and raise awareness for volunteering."
Brooklynne Murdock, the new Miss Plainville's Outstanding Teen said, "Right now, I'm happy, super excited and I can't wait to start the year."
Murdock said she was looking to "all my appearance and just competing at Miss Connecticut and making new friends."
During her onstage question, Murdock spoke about how she had difficulty making connections in Bristol since she had already been in seven different schools. But the crown gave her a sense of home, at last. "It's amazing now I can say where I belong. It feels great."

Hair of the Dog Poll: Was this the Worst Weekend Ever in Seattle Sports?
26 November, 2012 | The Fringe | No Comments|
Was this the worst sports weekend in Seattle history?
I ask this question for only Seattle Sports fans. You don't have to live in Seattle, but if you're a Coug, or have some other awkward affiliation please only include your Seattle ties. This weekended included:
A Huskies football loss in the Apple Cup
A Huskies loss to Colorado State
The Seahawks losing to the Miami Dolphins
And Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner's imminent suspensions
And I don't mean to be disrespectful to the Sonics departure from Seattle, or Dave Neihaus leaving this earth. Those events trancend sports.
From a sports standpoint, was this the worst weekend ever? Let me know in the comments what weekend was worse.

Here they are:
1. Bad Appraisals
The market has improved, and we want nothing more for our sellers than to have them experience the benefits of an improving market condition. When you go under contract and have your home sold, everyone is clearly happy. However, when the bank comes in to do the appraisal, and it comes back lower than the purchase price, it's always disappointing. When this happens, you will have to renegotiate the price, or the deal will fall apart. We recommend that sellers make sure their agent is doing a thorough, detailed market analysis of their home to avoid any potential appraisal issues.
2. Credit Mistakes
Nothing is more frustrating than when a buyer who has a pre-approval letter goes out and makes large, expensive purchases before the deal closes. If you are a buyer, don't make any big purchases until your loan clears. It will affect your debt-to-income ratio and could delay the closing of your loan for quite some time.
3. Bad Home Inspections
These tend to happen during the due diligence period. When home inspections are done, the inspector does their best to do a thorough job and go through every nook and cranny in the house looking for any defects. Sometimes, they aren't able to uncover things because you haven't done the due diligence as a seller to fully inspect the entire home. Bad home inspections can kill a transaction, and create a lot of unexpected expenses.
4. Bank Delays
Lending is taking longer nowadays, and loans are getting extended. If the seller is not prepared to have a conversation with the bank, that's frustrating. You have got to have good communication between your bank, your agent, and your lenders. If there's an indicator it's not going to close, the seller should be in a position to back out of that contract. Understand that when you decide to enter the market.
5. Intense Negotiations
When it comes down to the negotiation table, look at the big picture. A few thousand dollars is not a good enough reason to abandon the transaction. Try to find some common ground and consider what your alternatives are. If you went back on the market, are you going to end up regretting it?
These are just a few of the ways that a transaction can fall apart, but hopefully if you find yourself in any of these situations, you'll know what to do. If you have any questions for us, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to speaking with you soon!

|katy, if that is your name: i am so relieved to read your post! i have not met anyone or spoken with any health professional who has heard of this or understands. i was confronted by my partner a few months ago with the idea that i have an ED. i was shocked. it never occurred to me that i have an ED before. i am battling with the idea. i eat daily and was "only" trying to avoid eating dinner around the time that the throwing-up was becoming bad. i am trying to be healthier, though find myself plotting when i can avoid eating. i really hate admitting that i probably have an ED because i DON'T WANT TO have to gain weight as a part of treatment. i don't want to have to admit i have a problem i'm out of control of. i am still confused because (sorry for pointing you out), but i do not look like kayla. i'm not that skinny. i have a normal, slim body. i am 5'4", small boned, and the lowest weight i've gotten to is 102. i currently weigh 105. i haven't thrown-up recently, as i'm really working on controlling it. i'm also realizing, after reading this forum, that i am probably not vomiting because i'm not starving myself lately either. i suppose i'm sharing all of this because i would love to have contact with more "sisters" who understand this and can help me to understand what it's about! thanks. i would love to hear from the original poster, too!

The General Authority of Civil Aviation in Saudi Arabia points the finger at Saudi Airlines for the negligence of Egyptian and Bengali pilgrims at the Jeddah airport.
In a statement published in the daily Saudi Al Riyadh newspaper, the Saudi General Authority blamed the Saudi airlines for the delays, which built-up the crowds at the Jeddah airport at the end of the Ramadan umrah (pilgrimage).
The General Authority's statement comes in direct contrast to an interview with Al Hayat TV last week, where they blamed the Egyptian pilgrims themselves, accusing them of creating the jam at the airport with heavy luggage and behaviour.
Last Sunday a group of Egyptians protested in Giza, Cairo in front of the Saudi embassy demanding an official apology as well as the release of Hamed Ali , the Egyptian engineer who was detained at the Jeddah airport and allegedly transferred to the Saudi ministry of interior. He has not returned and Saudi authorities have not released any further information or official statement on him.
The mistreatment of the umrah pilgrims sparked anger amongst Egyptians, where many political and society figures have demanded an official apology from the airlines and airport authorities.
