This project is my second magazine stand/cabinet. This one again is a copy of a Stickley produced piece, circa early 1900s. This one was designed by one of the furniture designers who worked for Stickley for several years, Harvey Ellis. My copy is made from the traditional species for this style of furniture design, quarter sawn white oak, and is mostly complete, with the exception of the finish. I'm going to experiment with some more techniques before I commit to applying a finish to this piece. Now that I just joined this website one of my first tasks will be to explore other woodworkers experiences with Mission type finishes. I've already been told there is some great information contained here on that subject.
As for this piece I got the dimensions from More Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture, Robert W. Lang. The book is very good in accurately providing the required dimensions for any of the pieces described. The builder is left to his own expertise when it comes to specific construction details. I always try to retain the spirit of what Stickley espoused regarding quality construction. I always use mortise and tenon type jointery and refrain from using fasteners with the exception that I see no better way to attach furniture tops than with table irons. If you look at some of the pictures I've included, you'll see I have a tendency to get carried away sometimes with some of the jointery techniques. Yes I think the way I ended up attaching the shelves to the vertical sides is a little over the top, but since there is no back on this piece, so no method of resisting racking, I decided to make these joints sufficiently strong. The nice thing about mortise and tenon jointery is you can pre-assemble the piece and it will stay together with no glue, maybe a piece of painter's tap here and there, so you don't have to wait to complete the finishing process to admire your work: that is, I don't assemble until I have applied the finish. That way I don't have to contend with excess glue ruining my finish in some not so obscure locations.

This will turn out to be a very nice reproduction. Your use of floating tenons solves a problem in the design as documented by Lang. Perhaps I'll build one of these someday and if I do, I'll go to school on your technique!

That QSWO is absolutely gorgeous ! The whole piece is very well made and your joinery technique is a great idea : ) I can't wait to see the finished piece !

Very nice! Your house is going to be quite well decorated if you keep this up. I'm in the middle of making a Limbert lamp table #240. Thanks for reminding me to finish before assembly (unless I fume it). I've used loose tenon joinery before. I think it's a quite elegant solution. I'm thinking about using a sliding dovetail on something just so you can see it. I also like the figure eights for the table top. They keep the top on and lets the wood move. I'm still looking for my favorite finish too. Keep up the good work.

wow im actually right in the middle of making plans to build this exact same magazine shelf. i got my plans from april 2003 popular woodworking magazine. only difference is they used rails down at the bottom on each side about 6 inches below the panels
while drawing it up in sketchup i realized that the way its built seems like it could be a problem since the sides are made from solid wood and there is no account for movement. the shelves are attached with dados so i guess if you didnt glue the shelves in place it might work but id still be worried about it. will the loose tenons as you used fix this problem? i was thinking about switching to plywood side panels to fix the problem
#8 posted 07-20-2009 03:18 PM
Based on several comments, I guess I need to clarify something; the floating tenons will only be floating unti I glue the whole thing up. After I cut all the dados and shelves to length I became concerned i did not have enough penetration into the side panels to resist much moment. The only element resiting racking are the little stretchers across the top and bottom. The splines or floating tenons were an after thought to get a better connection at these points, not to allow for differential seasonal movement between the side panels and the shelves. Because the grain on these goes the same direction, I'm going to assume these will move together.
To all that have posted comments: Thanks so much for all the accolades. It's a good feeeling when your peers comment positively on your hard work!

you are most likely right about the shelves and sides moving at the same rate i hadnt thought about that. in my sketchup drawing i also eliminated the bottom stretchers because of the wood movement problem. i wish knew how to post a picture and i could show it if anyone wanted to see it

- Drake surprised fans in Miami when he dropped $50,000 on their food and drink items at a local supermarket.
- Fans said Drake was incredibly friendly and took photos with everyone who asked.
- On the same trip, Drake donated $25,000 to a Miami High School and gave $50,000 to a University of Miami student to help pay her tuition.
Drake recently visited Miami to film the music video for his hit song "God's Plan," and while he was there, he made a few charitable donations: The More Life rapper stopped by Sabor Tropical Supermarket to buy groceries for 60 strangers.
Drizzy allegedly spent over $50,000 on customers' food and drink items. Shopper Guille Deza told E! News that, "No one knew he was coming at all, we just came to do groceries. Cameras were being set up so we were all wondering what was to happen."
He added that Drake was extremely nice and that "he took photos with everyone who asked and shook hands. He helped people find what they were looking for and encouraged all to buy everything they want and to fill their carts."
Deza took to Instagram to share the experience with his followers.
"A real king when out and paid for everyone's groceries in the store, all the while encouraging people to buy more lol. BE GOOD AND IT'LL COME RIGHT BACK AROUND!!! So much love and bless this man 100 times over for all his generosity," he captioned a photo of himself and the 6God.
The Toronto native's generous gesture comes just days after making a $25,000 donation to a Miami Senior High School in addition to giving $50,000 to University of Miami student Destiny James to help pay her tuition.

These GIFs From 'The Martian' Prove How Amazing Visual Effects Are
You may be surprised to know that the recent sci-fi blockbuster The Martian was not actually filmed on Mars and a lot of CGI was put into the finished product. All jokes aside, visual effects often get overlooked in films (which is probably a testament to how good they are nowadays), and sometimes it's good to appreciate how good they really are. Check out these GIFs that show the before and afters of how much special effects are in The Martian.

Pennsylvania's new Bay plan falls well short of cleanup goals
By: Karl Blankenship, BayJournal.com
Pennsylvania's draft plan to help clean up the Chesapeake Bay falls far short of achieving its 2025 pollution reduction goals, a gap that would jeopardize regional efforts to restore the nation's largest estuary to healthy conditions.
The state's draft watershed implementation plan, submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on April 12, says the state "is committed to having all practices and controls in place by 2025."
But, while the actions outlined in the plan would meet Pennsylvania's phosphorus goals, they would make only two-thirds of the 34-million-pound nitrogen reduction needed by 2025.
That shortfall is nearly a quarter of the remaining nitrogen reductions needed from the entire Bay watershed from now through 2025, the deadline for taking all actions needed to restore Bay water quality.
Even with that shortfall, the plan would require Pennsylvania to increase its spending on pollution reduction efforts by $257 million a year — more than double what the state currently spends.
If Pennsylvania fails to fix its nitrogen reduction shortfall by the time final plans are to be completed this summer, it could set up a showdown with the EPA. Because Pennsylvania is so far behind in its Bay commitments, the agency last year singled the state out for increased oversight, and said its new plan needed to demonstrate that it will have the programs, funding and policies needed to implement it, or face potential "consequences."
Specifically, the EPA said it expected the state to provide "technical details," including a listing of all nutrient control actions needed to meet its Bay pollution reduction goals — something the draft did not do, and it provides little detail about how it would cover the shortfall.
Deborah Klenotic, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Environmental Protection, acknowledged the plan only outlined actions that achieved two-thirds of the nitrogen goal, but said the state "will meet its obligations through additional measures."
"A key focus … is increased tracking of nitrogen reductions from sources not yet documented," she said.
The plan said many conservation measures that farmers and others implemented on their own — without public funding — have not been accounted for in meeting Bay goals. It calls for increased efforts to track those actions, as well as other measures for which it says the state has not received full pollution-reduction credit.
Pennsylvania does not touch the Chesapeake Bay directly, but it is by far the largest source of water-fouling nutrients that reach the nation's largest estuary — primarily through the Susquehanna River, which is the source of half the freshwater entering the Bay. A portion of the state also drains into the Potomac River, another major Bay tributary.
But the state has lagged far behind in its nutrient reduction efforts for nitrogen ever since the EPA enacted its new cleanup initiative, the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load, or pollution diet, in 2010. The TMDL established limits on the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment that flow from the six states that drain into the nation's largest estuary as well as from the District of Columbia.
In the Bay, the nutrients feed algae blooms, which block sunlight from reaching the underwater grass beds that provide habitat for many species. And when the algae die, they lead to oxygen-starved "dead zones."
States have been working toward meeting the EPA's pollution diet goals since 2010, but Pennsylvania has lagged far behind. Under the TMDL, the Keystone state needed to slash nitrogen discharges to the Bay by 39.5 million pounds by 2025, from 112.7 million pounds a year to 73.2 million.
But through the end of 2017 — the most recent figures publicly available — the state had reduced its nitrogen contributions by just 5.4 million pounds, according to the state-federal Bay Program. That leaves a 34-million-pound shortfall.
Because of its chronically lagging performance, Pennsylvania is responsible for about three-quarters of the remaining nitrogen reductions needed from the entire Bay watershed to meet cleanup goals.
But in proposing to reduce nitrogen by just two-thirds of what's needed, Pennsylvania's draft plan would still leave a gap of more than 11 million pounds.
That gap in the draft plan puts pressure on the EPA to determine how it will respond. Representatives from other jurisdictions — especially Maryland — have called on the agency to apply more pressure on Pennsylvania, saying that the Bay cannot reach its water quality goals without the Keystone state making its share of needed nutrient reductions.
Last year, the EPA warned that if the state did not submit a satisfactory plan, it could face a variety of consequences. Those could include forcing wastewater treatment plants to make further costly upgrades, bringing more animal feedlots under the federal regulatory umbrella, or redirecting how EPA grant funds are spent.
An agency spokesman declined to comment on Pennsylvania's plan, saying only that the agency was reviewing drafts from all the states — which are to describe all cleanup actions needed by 2025 — and would release its assessments in early June.
Once the EPA finishes its review of the plans, states will have until August 9 to submit final documents to the agency.
Harry Campbell, Pennsylvania executive director of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, expressed disappointment that Pennsylvania's plan failed to address the state's shortfall. "We've got to fix it and fund it," he said.
Campbell praised the state's effort to involve counties, farmers and other stakeholders in the plan's development, saying "the process got a lot of interest, energy and even enthusiasm" and that the state would have been further along if such an outreach effort had begun years ago.
But, he added, "the bottom line is it's got to add up, and obviously, it's got to be funded."
Securing funding from the state's General Assembly has long been a challenge. According to the plan, the state and counties in the watershed currently spend about $229 million a year on efforts that would help meet Bay goals. But that spending needs to be ramped up to $485 million a year — resulting in a $257 million annual shortfall.
The shortfalls identified in the report are not new, though. A Pennsylvania "reboot" strategy released three years ago intending to jump-start the state's Bay obligations also identified severe staffing shortages and a similar funding shortfall.
Campbell said that the new plan, and the potential for EPA action, could finally spur the state's lawmakers to provide more resources for the job. "This is sort of a stark reminder, and maybe even a wake-up call, as to the need," he said.
Pennsylvania has always faced a more difficult challenge in reducing nutrient pollution than most other states in the watershed.
Maryland and Virginia have made recent progress primarily by upgrading wastewater treatment plants, but only about a tenth of Pennsylvania's nitrogen comes from that sector.
Most of its nutrients come from agricultural and stormwater runoff — sectors all states have struggled to control — and Pennsylvania has more of each than any other jurisdiction in the Bay watershed.
It has more farms — 33,000 — than any other state, and most are small, making both oversight and outreach a struggle. Likewise, much of the stormwater pollution comes from small rural communities. Three-fourths of Pennsylvania's developed lands in the Bay watershed are outside areas covered by state and federal stormwater permits, meaning there is little effective regulatory control.
"Compared to the other states in the watershed, the scale of the nonpoint source challenges in Pennsylvania is one of the most significant factors that has impacted past progress and will impact future success," the state's draft plan says.
Despite its shortfall, the draft state plan acknowledges the urgency to begin demonstrating cleanup progress or face potential EPA action. It implores local governments and others to "demonstrate progress" even if concrete action is not immediately possible.
For instance, it said, local governments can take necessary administrative steps toward creating stormwater fees even if they cannot be levied immediately. They can also create voluntary programs to reduce lawn fertilizer, subsidize rain barrels and promote reforestation, the plan suggested.
The plan also emphasizes that not only the Bay, but the state's own rivers, streams and public drinking water supplies are at risk and would benefit from the cleanup actions.
If the state doesn't ramp up its efforts, some — including Maryland lawmakers — have suggested bringing lawsuits to try to force action. In the draft plan, Pennsylvania tacitly acknowledges that patience among others involved in the Bay restoration effort is wearing thin, and that it "could face opposition from other states and environmental organizations" if it does not do more.

LOA 12′ Beam 5′ Draft 6″ plus motor
LOA 3.66 Beam 1.52 Draft .152
Pictured below is the first Jessy 12 and the results of her first outing on the water under power.
|Due to popular demand we created a full planing version of our Mandy/Amanda skiff. One boat cannot do it all. While we came close we cannot defy the laws of physics.The Jessy is a pure planing hull, she will run 20 mph with only a 9.9 hp motor. To do this we gave up sailing and rowing qualities. We increased her beam to 5′ to both enhance her planing qualities and to give more stability for hard turns and for a better payload. She comes with a hatch in the forward bulkhead for an anchor locker as well as the stern lockers. We recommend some flotation in the three lockers.
Like her sisters she is designed to be built quickly from a kit. She is an ideal first build introduction to stitch and glue construction.
With a 4 hp motor with one person she topped out at 12 mph and 22mph with 8 hp. With two people and an 85# dog, 4 hp could not plane but made 17 mph with 8 hp.
We also have a custom cradle available, made for this boat (see below). It will hold the boat rock steady and level both in an upright and bottom up position for the optimal work surface during construction. The folding cradles include a lower tray to keep your tools off of the ground. These will also make the perfect storage arrangement for your Mandy, Amanda or Jessy. Inscribed with our hypocycloid, you will be showing off your stored boat. The cradle folds flat when not in use. The cradles are made from CNC cut 3/4″ birch plywood.
Below a Mandy (similar to the Jessy) is getting her chines ready for glass taping at the Wooden Boat Show Mystic Seaport family boat building program 2012.

Studs & Duds: ALCS Game 1The stars and not-so-hot shots from the series opener
CC Sabathia: Maybe the most obvious choice yet, Sabathia was absolutely overpowering against an Angels lineup that was colder than the October air in the Bronx. Using a wicked combination of offspeed pitches and a potent fastball, the big lefthander baffled Los Angeles for eight dominant innings, striking out seven and walking just one. Sabathia has certainly proven that he's been worth every penny so far of his giant offseason contract.
Johnny Damon: A 1-12 ALDS and a brutal September had some thinking that Damon's name might not be in the lineup for Game 1 of the ALCS. But Joe Girardi stuck by his leftfielder, and Damon rewarded his patience, collecting two hits and scoring twice. Damon even made a nice, albeit somewhat awkward, play in left on a sinking liner by Bobby Abreu, sliding to his right to make the catch.
Kendry Morales: In a lineup that featured little pop, Morales was the only Angel who apparently made the trip to Yankee Stadium. His RBI single in the fourth inning was the lone blemish on CC Sabathia's effort, and he was also the only Los Angeles player to draw a walk against Sabathia on the night.
Honorable Mention: Derek Jeter, Hideki Matsui, Jason Bulger
Juan Rivera: Speaking of Angels who didn't show up for Game 1, Mike Scioscia may have been better off starting a sack of straw in left field for tonight's game. It probably would've had a more productive night than Juan Rivera, who turned in an 0-4 effort at the plate and butchered two plays in left. One of those miscues - an errant throw back to the infield in the first inning - allowed Johnny Damon to advance to second, eventually leading to the second New York run. His other mistake possibly helped the Angels, as his tumble while trying to field a double by Hideki Matsui may have influenced Alex Rodriguez to go through a stop sign at third, leading to an out at home.
The Angels defense: Overall, it wasn't the best night for Los Angeles in the field. A pop-up that dropped right in front of Erick Aybar at short - after Aybar and third baseman Chone Figgins had spent about an hour calling each other off for the ball - gave the Yankees their second run of the night. John Lackey's attempted pickoff of Melky Cabrera at first base in the sixth, meanwhile, went past Kendry Morales and into right field, allowing Cabrera to move to second. Cabrera scored on the very next pitch as Derek Jeter lined a pitch into center, a ball that went right off of Torii Hunter's glove as he charged it, preventing a play at the plate.
Mark Teixeira: It was a quiet game for the slugging first baseman, who twice came up with runners in scoring position and less than two out and both times failed to drive the runners home. Teixeira looked especially overanxious on his first opportunity, popping up a pitch to the infield with runners on second and third and no one out in the first inning.
Dishonorable Mention: Chone Figgins, Bobby Abreu, Nick Swisher

For a transport enterprise, safe driving is undoubtedly a lifeline. On November 4, 2014, is a southwest aluminum transport company achieve highway road transport safety driving day to 3000 days. This is a great safety record. In nearly eight years, the company solidarity twist situation, left and right sides together to be safe, out of the former was talking about "safe" colors "circle", explore out a long-term effective mechanism of safety management with the characteristic of transportation company.
2006 is extremely calm transport company for one year. Less than two months time two deaths in road traffic accidents, 56 kinds of traffic accidents occurred throughout the year, the economic loss of 929000 yuan. Of the big, influence of accident frequency and loss of unprecedented. Facing the month occurred in traffic accidents, the cycle of traffic deaths happened year after year, the worker was talking about "safe".
Serious production safety situation, less than six months to form a new team has brought heavy pressure. Especially out of the traffic accident death, families tore heart crack lung of scene deeply hurt OuYangWeiDong, general manager of the new company. He decide to spread out down on safety accident situation.
Search for "sticking point" in the accident
Transportation companies for 2002-2002, 226 traffic accident happened in five years after the carding found that safety accident caused by high for three reasons: one is the standard being serious, local drive, drive hero. In 226 cases with 226 cases in west region, 108 for speeding. Second is the peak time of the accident in 6 to 9 months a year, just four months this accident cumulative number of 108 times, 47.8% of the total accidents. 3 it is the sense of responsibility is not strong, safety consciousness, only 191 times main accountability, responsibility, accounting for 84.5% of the total accidents.
Find the crux of the accident and laws, OuYangWeiDong realize: only control the unsafe behavior of people, to reverse the passive situation of production safety. According to the characteristics of the operating point, line side wide, long, transportation companies to strengthen the team construction of safety management. Security system independent from the production department, set up safety of environmental protection. From each unit pump driving experience, work a strong sense of responsibility of the personnel set up six human enterprise internal traffic safety law enforcement team, dressing, giving a certain power, and give appropriate subsidies, configuration on the road patrol vehicles and appropriate equipment such as cameras, camera, carrying velocimeter to strengthen security patrol inspection, from the source to correct violations.
From the mechanism of excitation energy
To establish long-term effective mechanism of safety in production of, transportation companies from the mechanism to a number of ways.
On safety management for change in the past to punish than prize, the imbalance of rewards and punishment, and employee resistance, they set up the annual 1 million yuan reward fund. Quarterly security red-flag car race activities, will be safe driving, equipment maintenance, service quality, job performance as competition content, appraisal for examination and assessment of the month, quarter. Competitions in quarterly safety flow red flag unit, create a "safe transport you tube I tube, it is safe to everybody tube; accident hidden trouble you look at me, everyone check Fang Anquan" security pattern. Annual security model selection, 10 in each annual security pacesetter, inspire the enthusiasm of employees driving safety. The safety target responsibility management and periodic rewards.
In 2008, the transportation company becoming the first passed the group in southwest aluminum subsidiary company "safety production standard chemical plant" acceptance of the unit, and won the group company safety "advanced unit" and "ankang cup" superior unit title. For eight years, transportation company has respectively was awarded the "national youth ShiFanGang production safety", "2008-2009 in chongqing outstanding youth ShiFanGang production safety", "the model of safety culture construction enterprises in chongqing" and safety "advanced enterprise" title. In achieving the development of the security at the same time, the southwest aluminum company hand in hand with the development of economic benefit, the revolving quantity of the goods in sharply rising year by year, the output value from 2006 2006 4000 yuan to 130 million yuan in 2013.
The construction of a harmonious from love
Is the dependence of the transport company is a worker, the worker's "home". In transport, market at the same time, the shipping company through love hands, help worker to survive, to foster safety family culture.
The original driver li hua on June 12, 2000 for the car traffic accident death occurs, have a son read junior middle school first grade at the time, and the lover is working in the decoration company, but salary is not high, family life more difficult. Special issued new team learned that news, company documents, the li hua wife and children as a company employee, enjoys the same physical benefits as well as employees, and subsidies living expenses 600 yuan a year, until Li Chenyang year full 18 one full year of life. Children after the college entrance examination, the company and according to the measures for children bound to encourage employees to reward him. Such love, you see in the eye, written in the heart. Driving as one engaged in work for nearly 30 years of liu's teacher said, the company have the milk of human kindness, we don't have any reason to not love enterprise, don't do well the safety in production.
Company also distribute to run long-distance drivers' families contact CARDS, provide economic aid to employees died on family members, set up the university entrance exam reward employees children fund and fund of 300000 yuan of helping needy workers, etc. Is the company through cultivating affection, raised the subject consciousness of the staff, make staff in the family, love the thick atmosphere of increase safety consciousness and safety consciousness, to build a security of the second line of defense.
Curb the illegal from the source
Southwest aluminum transport company to take "four combinations" catch security: one is to stick to mobile search combined with fixed check. 2 it is to stick to check) combined with rectifying violations. Three is to stay focused combination of education and individual education. Fourth, insist on combining education supplemented with punishment.
The company for the transport of dangerous goods transport, high temperature liquid aluminium, ring passenger car and driving business to clean up, the stop of the stop, the turn of the turn. Implements all-in shard area for safety personnel responsible for safety, and linked to the job-subsidy examination. Changing the mode of patrol, security officer divided by the area of vehicle running time as work time, spot checks and transformation. Add fixed checkpoints in the main section, the key check ingot car, big volume, vehicle product, scrap car loading way, bind request, from the source to eliminate hazards on the road. The company also increased rectifying violations. To 23 workers prone to chronic violate the rules behavior of 88 chronic violate the rules behavior forms, reference on punishment illegal driver the traffic department, effectively curb illegal behavior occurs.
Through the above effective measures, transportation company safety situation were reversed in 2007: all kinds of traffic accident by the 56 has reduced to 31, compared to the economic losses from 929000 yuan to 127000 yuan. As the safety performance of cement, security presents good development momentum. After 2008, transportation company not only has not occurred with road traffic accident death, and the number of traffic accidents and economic loss dropped year by year. Accidents in 2013, transportation companies, a total of 6 times, the economic loss of 19700 yuan, down 89.3% in 2006 and 89.3% respectively.

There is much disappointment, not only in the animal welfare movement, but also in many parts of the European Commission, the European Union (EU) Member States and the cosmetic industry, because the Commission has had to recommend the postponement from 1 January 1998 to 30 June 2000 of the proposed ban on the marketing in the EU of cosmetic products containing ingredients or combinations of ingredients tested on animals in order to meet the requirements of EU Directive 76/768/EEC.

Fox Marketing Hyundai Veloster Turbo Set for SEMA
Hyundai does SEMA right. Between the Hyundai Legato Concept Genesis Coupe by ARK Performance, the 1000 HP Bisimoto Hyundai Genesis Coupe and now the Fox Marketing Hyundai Veloster Turbo, the Korean carmaker is showing off what their cars are really capable of… Power. Lots and lots of power.
The Fox Marketing the the Hyundai Veloster's 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder direct-injected, turbocharged Gamma powerplant and went to town adding a new 845 Motorsports turbo upgrade, BorgWarner EFR turbo, front-mounted intercooler, AEM water/methanol injection system, VP Racing 101-octane performance fuel and an ECU tune from SeoulfulRacing.
The result is a 370 horse demon aka the Fox Marketing Hyundai Veloster Turbo. Don't worry, all the engine tuning and power upgrades won't be wasted on a stock chassis. A UNIQ Performance strut brace, ImportShark chassis bracing and fully-adjustable ARK Performance coil-over suspension means the all that new-found power will make it to the tarmac. And, Street Pro LE seats, Takata Drift III 4-point harnesses and WP Pro EX6 6-piston front calipers with carbon fiber ducting and 13.6-inch wavy-cut rotors mean the driver will be able to stay in their seat while grinding to a halt.

Press Release
Fox Marketing Hyundain Veloster Turbo Press Release
COSTA MESA, Calif., Oct. 23, 2013 – Hyundai has joined forces with Fox Marketing Cars to create the most powerful street-focused Veloster Turbo ever. The car will be showcased at the 2013 SEMA show in Las Vegas, November 5-8.
Fox Marketing leveraged the outstanding reliability and performance potential of Hyundai's 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder direct-injected, turbocharged Gamma powerplant as the core of its SEMA concept. A comprehensive package of advanced engine components, including a new 845 Motorsports turbo upgrade, BorgWarner EFR turbo, front-mounted intercooler, AEM water/methanol injection system, VP Racing 101-octane performance fuel and an ECU tune from SeoulfulRacing, boosts output to an impressive 370 horsepower.
The addition of a UNIQ Performance strut brace, ImportShark chassis bracing and fully-adjustable ARK Performance coil-over suspension ensure the Fox Marketing Veloster Turbo puts all that power to the tarmac and keeps it flat in high-speed cornering, while new Street Pro LE seats and Takata Drift III 4-point harnesses hold the driver firmly in place. Braking performance has been improved with WP Pro EX6 6-piston front calipers with carbon fiber ducting and 13.6-inch wavy-cut rotors for neck-wrenching stopping power.
Exterior modifications give the Veloster Turbo an aggressive demeanor that perfectly complements the engine and chassis upgrades. A hand-mixed paint from BASF color lab dubbed R-M Oynx HD Waterborne SkyAqua Pearl is the most striking exterior component, while the addition of Hyundai Genesis fog lights, an ImportShark front lip spoiler, custom rear fascia mesh and custom front fascia round-out the bold exterior modifications.
"The Veloster Turbo was designed with affordable performance in mind," said Scott Margason, director, product planning, Hyundai Motor America. "Fox Marketing's unique concept showcases the versatility of our turbocharged 4-cylinder Gamma engine family while expanding the overall performance envelope for the Veloster line."

Some of the world's leading sportswear manufacturers such as Nike, Puma and Asics have been plagued by mass amounts of workers fainting at their factories in Cambodia. The incidents of fainting are not one-offs, and have not been resolved despite their ongoing occurrence. Cambodia is home to four of the factories which are large producers of sportswear and footwear for the well-know brands, as well as brands from VF Corporation, who owns Vans, Timberland, Wrangler and JanSport.
During the past year, it is reported as many as 500 workers, from the four factories in question were hospitalised, and over a 3 day period 360 workers fainted. There are also reports of mass fainting as far back as 2014, which indicate that the problem is on-going, and the resolution is slow. The cause seems to be long work hours (most of the women involved were working ten hour days, six days a week), hunger, over-tiredness, exposure to fumes, stress, and excessive heat. Cambodia has no legal maximum temperature for their factories, unlike neighbouring Vietnam where temperatures are not allowed to exceed 32℃. Despite Cambodian employers being encouraged to invest in fans and air conditioning, it is not legally required. Often the chemicals used in production are also a cause of losing consciousness - along with poor ventilation. The reason for the long hours worked seems to stem from short term contracts which most employers use, which means that workers face difficulty in refusing to work overtime, as that could be used as a reason to shorten their contract. Some experts point to the stress of the low wages, unfair worker treatment and income insecurity as the root of the problem, with fainting occurring due to the workers' extreme mental distress. Other incidents include smoke filling a factory which produced Puma sportswear, after an explosion caused mass panic and several workers fainted during the rush to exit the building.
Puma have responded to these reports by suggesting changes for the factory to implement. These include offering free medical checks, making nutritional energy bars available to workers, giving long-term employees full-time contracts, and improving ventilation.
Cambodia's garment industry was valued at $5.7b in 2015.

By some odd twist, oil gushers have come down in American cultural memory as a form of good news evidence of riches found, like the popping of some geological champagne cork. ( ) The truth, however, is that gushers, which plagued the early decades of the oil business, were disasters anywhere and everywhere they happened. They occurred when oil drillers penetrated a formation where oil and natural gas were under high pressure. The geyser of erupting oil could destroy drilling equipment, kill workers and shatter the eardrums of those it did not kill. Fire was a huge risk. Getting gushers under control sometimes took months. (Justin Gillis; The New York Times; 21.06.2010)
The oil-price gusher started to erupt in early November 2010 as the price broke the (blue) triangle-leg at 82. A short breakout to 88 followed, whereafter a classical pullback to the (protracted) triangle occurred. As per definition, the thrust starts directly thereafter as the price commenced to rise the last 2 days, a thrust to the upside is anticipated (instead of a thrust to the downside). The goal of this thrust is to rise above the resistance that was marked by the previous breakout (88) & to transform it into a new & sustainable support so that a new & sustainable upward-trend can start.
The longer-term picture since 1995 shows the price moving up predominately within the (green) trend-channel, whereas the price action can be understood with the 2 (red & blue) triangles. In 2004, the upper (blue) triangle-leg at approx. 38 was broken, whereafter a breakout to approx. 150 took place until 2008 which was followed by a pullback to the (blue) triangle-apex at approx. 35. Hence, the thrust to the upside began in early 2009. According to the upward-sloping (red) triangle, the breakout started in 2005, whereas the pullback in 2008 was not able to hold above the (red) triangle-legs starting a breakout to the downside. As the price did not continue to decrease sustainably, no thrust to the downside occurred as a relatively fast rebound above the (red) triangle was accomplished in 2009. In early 2010, a final pullback to the (red) triangle-apex at approx. 66 took place, whereafter the price started to rise indicating a thrust to the upside since then & especially since breaking above the (violet) resistance at approx. 78. As per the (red) triangle, a longer-term sell-signal is generated only when breaching the price-level of the (red) triangle-apex at approx. 66.
When comparing it with the DOW index (in form of the shown ratio), it strikes that - with its high in 2008 - the XOI has outperformed the DOW more than 3-fold since 2000. However, the ratio decreased heavily since its high in 2008 signifying that the DOW performed much better than the XOI during that time. More importantly for the present & future is that the (violet) resistance was broken successfully recently generating a buy-signal (for the XOI against the DOW). Since reaching the (red) resistance at approx. 0.10 most recently, a sell-signal was issued as a pullback became more probable potentially taking the ratio back to the (violet) support. A longer-term buy-signal (à la thrust to the upside) is not generated until rising above this (red) resistance.

There's not just one Austin roots band that knows how to produce a video that must be watched a bajillion times to be believed. While The Possum Posse's "Guy On a Buffalo
" series has proved to be quite the Internet phenomenon, the video for theWhiskey Shivers

' "Gimme All Your Lovin'" is perhaps as trippy as a rootsy bluegrass can get.
I've been obsessed with this video since catching the band live last weekend at the new-ish White Horse Inn on Austin's increasingly cool Eastside. On Saturday night, in a packed room twice the size of Adair's, the Austin hillbilly string collective, featuring stand-up bass, acoustic guitar, banjo and fiddle, didn't just happen to be the band on a small stage shoved into the corner of the room. They joyfully controlled the joint, regardless of whether they were meant to be mere background noise or not.
With jig-dancing and odd combinations of drunken dosey-does on display in front of the floor level performance area, the White Horse transformed from mere bar into barn-dance. And, by the way, the group's chops and lively performance merited all the hootin' and hollerin'.
This isn't to be taken as a Dallas vs. Austin post, but as an it's-fun-to-find-new-bands post. Give the video a try, maybe look for them next time you inevitably visit your friends down South, and you'll see why I've been obsessed with these guys all week.

On my visit to my In-laws place my Mil said "Today, we'll make Podale Cutlets". I said what cutlets??? I never knew Podale was used to make cutlets I said. So she said ok, I'll teach u. With my camera in one hand & curiosity on the other I entered the kitchen ( which I rarely enter when I am at my in-laws!! ) I took step by step pictures too! She made cutlets out of Podale & they were super delicious!! With so many of us at home, it was over in a second :-)
Podale – 1 ( small)
Green chillies – 4
Potato – 2
Hing – 1/4 tsp
Onion – 1 finely chopped
Fine Rava – little (for dipping)
Oil – for frying.
Salt- to taste
1.Pressure cook the potatos & mash them well.
2. Cut the podale into rounds (about ½" thick) & with a spoon on fingers take out the inside seeds & get it ready.
4. Now take this potato balls & stuff inside the Podale & evenly press it so that it covers the entire circle of podale.

Sandra Bland moved back to Texas in July to take a job with her alma mater, Prairie View A&M University. On July 10 a traffic stop ended in Bland's arrest, with jail officials claiming a few days later that she was found hanged in her Waller County cell.
On Tuesday evening, the Prairie View City Council voted to rename University Boulevard—the road that leads to Prairie View's campus, and the same road on which Bland was stopped and arrested—Sandra Bland Parkway.
According to ABC 13, hundreds of Prairie View A&M alumni gathered with current students to march from the student-union building to the site where Bland was stopped. The march then ended at City Hall, where council members agreed to change the street name.
"If every time they pull over a student, they have to be reminded of what took place here, then that will help the relationship to be more respectful between the officers and the students," protester Hannah Bonner told the news station.

Long-serving councillor, Duncan Cumming, is the only Independent candidate to win a seat (Bearsden North) in this year's local election.
The SNP party suffered a significant loss in the same ward, with former group leader Ian Mackay losing his seat.
And the two newly elected councillors are Sheila Mechan (Conservative) and Rosie O'Neil (Lib Dem).
Duncan said: "I'm quite overwhelmed to be honest - it's almost moved me to tears to be returned with such a great mandate.
"I've had the great privilege of representing the people of Bearsden North for ten years, six years as an Independent candidate, putting the people of Bearsden first beyond politics.
"That's a great privilege and over the years I've developed a lot of friendships with constituents.
"Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me and I will do my very best for the next five years for each and every one of you irrespective of how you voted.
"I'm here for everybody and I will continue to do my very best for everyone."
Sheila Mechan said: "Congratulations Duncan and Rosie and I very much look forward to working with you.
"Thankyou very much to the Conservative and Unionist party team you've worked incredibly hard.
"I'd also like to thank those who attended our Super Saturdays and my lovely daughter Chloe for her support.
"Finally I'd like to thank the voters for the privilege of returning me and I won't let you down."
Rosie O'Neil said; "I'd like to thank the candidates for very positive campaigning and I'm sure that we'll manage to work together for the common good.
"My commiserations to Ian Mackay who has served the community for several years.
"I'd like to thank Ashay Ghai who was my predecessor as the Lib Dem candidate for much advice and support.
"Thanks also to all the East Dunbartonshire Lib Dems for their many hours and much shoe leather spent delivering leaflets and knocking doors.
"Lastly thankyou to the electorate for voting for me."
Ian Mackay said: "I had ten wonderful years in that position and absolutely enjoyed it.
"I hope the new councillors can move on the agenda for East Dunbartonshire in terms of some of the problems we have got.
"I wish you all the best and I might try and come back next time."

Summer brings plenty of tourism to Florida. Children get out of school. Parents take time off of work. College students get a break that they embrace, knowing they'll have full-time jobs soon enough.
Taking action after a Florida marijuana charge
Being found with the possession of marijuana for personal use is probably the least serious drug charge in Florida. However, all drug charges in the United States can have very severe consequences. Therefore, a marijuana possession charge should never be taken lightly.
Never eat these 7 distracting foods behind the wheel
You're coming home from work when a car pulls out of the local McDonald's and cuts you off. The driver accelerates wildly and swerves between the lanes.
How traumatic brain injuries can change your life after a crash
Many people who get hurt in serious motor vehicle collisions sustain serious injuries. Some, however, are more obvious than others. Broken limbs and spinal cord injuries are often obvious right at the scene of the collision. Other, similarly serious injuries may not seem like a big issue at first.
How you can protect yourself from a drunk driver
Drunk driving isn't just a legal issue. It isn't about arrest totals, fines or jail time.
Distractions create hazards on Florida's roads: Pay attention
The winter is approaching most of the United States with cold weather, ice and snow. In Florida, you're fortunate enough to usually benefit from tepid temperatures and comfortable weather conditions. As a result of the humid, subtropical weather, many people travel from around the country to get a break from the bleak winter storms where they're from.
Boredom can lead directly to car accidents
You know that distracted drivers are a risk. They're paying attention to too many things at once, rather than just watching the road. They're the opposite of bored; they're overly engaged.
Distracted driving: 3 forms to know before you drive
By now, most people know that driving while distracted is a danger to themselves and others. Despite that, people still send texts, read emails and perform other digital activities while they're driving. Statistics show that when you travel at 55 mph and send or text someone, you'll take your eyes off the road for around five seconds. In those five seconds, you'll travel far enough to cover the length of a football field.
Critical symptoms of a brain injury parents must know
You're involved in a car accident after picking your kids up from school. Another driver runs a red light. You're watching the road and you hit the brakes, but there's nothing you can do.
Texting behind the wheel: A violation of the law
Texting is a hazard behind the wheel, but despite that, many people do it, anyway. Why? They feel they need to respond to the messages, emails and calls they receive immediately.

Non-Lethal Weapons (NLW) in NATO and National Concepts
Click image to play movie
A report for COMISAF recommended "a 'deep dive' to identify non-lethal capabilities and options", as initial data showed 80-90% reductions in undesired outcomes (own force casualties or civilian casualties) when Non-Lethal Weapons (NLW) were available. The STO/CSO Research Task Group SAS-094 on 'Analytical Support to the Development and Experimentation of NLW Concepts' has carried out this deep dive and provided the analysis and data to support effective NLW implementation in NATO.
NATO Forces are facing increasingly complex military operations; current options are often reduced to whether or not to use lethal force. Technology provides another option - NLW - which allows battlefield commanders to disable potential adversaries and gain time. For more than a decade NATO has had an active interest in NLW, with the North Atlantic Council identifying NLW as a "critical, additional capability needed in order to meet the demands of future operations."
The SAS-094 research team collaborated deeply with other NATO Bodies, most notably with the NATO Defense Against Terrorism Programme, NATO Army Armaments Group and the NATO Industrial Advisory Group – and externally with several EU and European Defense Agency projects. Early on RTG SAS-094 established a working group for cooperating with other organizations within and outside NATO. This working group was critical to the success of two NATO Non-lethal Technology Exercises in 2015 and 2016 (NNTEX 15M and NNTEX16L).
In recognition of the tremendous depth, breadth, and creativity of their analytical work and the tangible military benefit for NATO and member nations, the RTG SAS-094 members will be presented the 2017 Science and Technology Scientific Achievement Award.

When Dunghose returned to Glasgow, Ward stayed behind in Antwerp, Belgium, where, in January '94, he formed Superalmendrado (in which he played electric guitar), with Mark Meyers. After a promising start, the band folded after less than a year, Ward returning to Scotland after his working relationship with Meyers had unravelled. Also during '94, Ward recorded a still-unreleased album on 4-track with his friend and long-term collaborator Rudy Trouvé, under the name of Cynthia Appleby & Friends, as well as playing ukulele in Viking Dave Robertson & The New Peruvians of Soul and becoming a lifetime member of Trouvé's ever-expanding neo-No Wave collective, Kiss My Jazz.
On his return to Glasgow he picked up the bass and formed Savalas (again with McCulloch) but left when offered the lead guitar spot in dEUS (returning to Antwerp in August '95 following Trouvé's departure). Ward remained with dEUS until September 2004, when, halfway through the making of Pocket Revolution, he quit - his enthusiasm for dEUS's music and his relationship with band leader Tom Barman both rapidly deteriorating. Toward the end of his dEUS tenure Ward formed The Love Substitutes with Trouvé and Mauro Pawlowski and, shortly afterwards, the revolving-door improvisation collective iH8 Camera, intended to fill the gap left by the demise of Kiss My Jazz. In 2005 he worked again with Mark Meyers, making his drumming debut with Pox. He also formed Donkey Diva with Gunter Nagels of Donkey Diesel and Gregory Frateur of Dez Mona. The trio performed live in Belgium but never recorded.
By 2007 Ward had relocated to Berlin. During this period he began four new groups/collaborations; True Bypass (an acoustic project with Chantal Acda), A Clean Kitchen Is A Happy Kitchen (a skronky, Beefheartian trio), Elton Genocide (an experimental project with Stephan Sander) and Mark Mulholland & Craig Ward (another acoustic project). He also performed with German improvisers Das Huhn, (who, incidentally, collaborated on Ward's contribution to the album 'Pawlowski, Trouvé & Ward,' a split CD for Andrew Bennett and Jerry Lewington's fledgling Jezus Factory label. Ward's relationship with the label continues to this day).
After sabbaticals in Montreal and Los Angeles, Ward returned to Antwerp in the spring of 2009, where he briefly performed live in Donkey Diesel and joined surrealist cabaretier Roy Aernouts for an extensive tour of the Dutch cabaret circuit. A stint in Rotterdam saw him solidify his musical relationship with Mark Mulholland, with the completion of their album, Waiting For The Storm, This period also saw him collaborate with Dutch noise artist Radboud Mens, as well as record his first (ambient) solo album. He currently lives in Argyllshire, Scotland.

Expect appearances by comedians like Kumail Nanjiani, Kurt Braunohler and Natasha Leggero who will fight and joke to the death as they vie to be crowned the funniest of the night.
The series will have a built-in, interactive experience for viewers, allowing them to respond to the show's daily #HashtagWars or a daily call-to-action soliciting viewer Tweets that may be featured on-air as well as earn participants a chance to win prizes.

NEW YORK, March 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — 101 Edu, Inc. today announced a partnership with OpenStax to deliver more affordable course materials for college STEM students and offer increased flexibility for course instructors.
101 Edu, which develops Chem101, the next-generation active learning platform for chemistry courses, will begin to offer OpenStax Chemistry and Chemistry: Atoms First free textbooks alongside its Chem101 product. The combined offering will give chemistry instructors freedom from traditional textbook bundles, allow them to significantly reduce student course costs, and benefit from the best classroom engagement tools on the market.
Chemistry instructors use Chem101 to engage their students in real-time during lecture with over 2,000 interactive problem-solving exercises. Unlike traditional tools that rely on generic question types, students respond in Chem101 on their personal devices by drawing a molecular structure, writing a chemical name or formula, or performing dimensional analysis. Instructors receive a convenient dashboard of common student mistakes that makes it easy to form class discussions. The platform also offers automated, answer-specific feedback, which encourages students to give problems another try, and addresses the misconceptions that an instructor might not be able to remediate in class.
Chem101 has been adopted by faculty at over 50 campuses across the U.S. including Carnegie Mellon University, Temple University, and University of California Irvine. In a pilot focused on bonding and structure topics, a 200% improvement in student learning gains was measured and 40% of students reported an increased interest in chemistry.
"All across the country, from small colleges to large universities, chemistry instructors love using Chem101 to engage students during lecture and provide them new ways to learn, visualize, and interact with science. This new partnership with OpenStax will give our customers more choice for their course materials and will drive down student costs," said Dr. Justin B. Weinberg, Co-founder and CEO of 101. "We're just getting started and couldn't be more excited about our vision for the STEM classroom."
"Chem101 makes another great addition to our OpenStax technology partners," said David Harris, Editor-in-Chief of OpenStax. "The platform's problems and exercises are aligned to both of our chemistry texts and it makes incorporating active learning in lecture extremely easy for instructors. Chem101 also blends powerful visualization with high-quality assessments, which faculty are always looking for in the classroom."
About 101 and OpenStax
Founded in 2014 by Justin Weinberg and Igor Belyayev, 101 Edu develops the next-generation active learning platform for college STEM courses. The company's chemistry product, Chem101, offers rich, discipline-specific assessment tools that provide students new ways to learn, visualize, and interact with science.

I was going through some of my old papers the other day and came across this comic, which I think I clipped and promptly forgot around ten years ago (every teacher has a huge collection of newspaper articles, comics, and "interesting items" that he or she is convinced will one day be used with students). I can see why I kept it. It's a brilliant illustration of the principle about communication articulated by the great Canadian media theorist Marshall McLuhan: the medium is the message. What McLuhan meant is that every form of communication (medium) has a profound effect on the content being communicated (message). In declaring that the medium IS the message, McLuhan is using a technique writers call hyperbole–he's exaggerating for emphasis. He didn't mean that the medium literally is indistinguishable from the content, merely that the medium is extremely important to the content, and in some cases AS important.
Sound confusing? It really isn't. Consider an illustration. A man wants a woman to marry him. He gets down on one knee, takes out a tiny black box with a diamond ring, stares into his beloved's eyes and says, "Will you marry me?" The medium is face-to-face communication, both audible speech and non-verbal body language. The message is, "Will you marry me?" The message is greatly enhanced, enriched, and strengthened by the medium.
Now consider the same message but conveyed through the medium of text messaging.
I suspect most women would not be thrilled at a proposal of marriage delivered via text message. Why not? Because the way we say something is just as important as what we say. That is what "the medium is the message" means. Not all messages can be communicated through all media. Text messages cannot communicate a marriage proposal. Even if the message is identical–"Will you marry me?"–the medium changes it so thoroughly that it really isn't a marriage proposal anymore in any meaningful sense of the term. Most women would not be overjoyed, but insulted.
This, of course, is the point of the comic I found in my archives. Though an inspiring aphorism from the great American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a wonderful message, it is inappropriate to the medium of a sports placard. Or, to put it another way, the medium of a sports placard cannot communicate the content of a Wadsworth aphorism.
Our students are surrounded with more media–more forms of communication–than at any time in human history. Sometimes teachers get snobby and insist that this or that medium is harmful or pedestrian or lacking in artistic merit (or something along those lines). Yet these "books are better than movies" arguments are not only grossly unfair (some movies are far better than some books), they miss a far more important point. All media change, shape, and influence their content. There are some things television can do that a book simply cannot; there are some things Arabic numerals can do that hand signals simply cannot; there are some things an opera can do that video game simply cannot. The most important thing a teacher can do in this regard is help students recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each medium they interact with and learn which messages belong with which form of communication.
This is why Leonard's friend (in the comic above) is mistaken; he thinks Leonard put "too much thought" into his sign, but in fact the opposite is true. If Leonard had been more thoughtful he would have realized that when the medium is a sports placard, "GO TEAM" is a far better message than "Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng but in ourselves are triumph and defeat."–no matter how powerful that message might be as you study it quietly and thoughtfully while reading this website.

Edith Masai, by winning her third IAAF World Cross Country short course title 11 days short of her 37th birthday, prompted the question: what might she have achieved in her international running career had she started in earnest earlier than it did, just five years ago?
Masai's rise in the time since she first won a bronze medal in the 4km race when the World Cross Country Championships were last staged in Belgium, at Ostend in 2001, has been mercurial.
The best victory yet
She has since won Commonwealth Games silver and the bronze at 5000 metres in Paris last year, and now three successive short course titles. The manner of her imperious performance here today must surely rank as her most impressive, as she delivered Kenya's first individual title of the 2004 edition.
"But it was hard," Masai admitted, clearly having found the muddy conditions tough. "It was the same in Ostend."
Masai completed the gluey 4km course in 13:07, racing away over the final downhill stretch to win by two seconds from Tirunesh Dibaba, who thus matched her sister's silver medal in the previous day's long course event, while the bronze went to her team mate Teyiba Erkesso a further two seconds back, as they led Ethiopia to their fourth of the five team titles contested thus far.
Masai's team mate, Isabella Ochichi, had set the pace over the harem scarem first lap, which was completed in 6min 25sec with a pack of 10 - five Kenyans and five Ethiopians - some six seconds ahead of Britain's Helen Clitherhoe, Zahra Ouaziz, from Morocco, and the Russian, Olga Romanova.
"It's not getting any easier as I get older"
But as the leaders turned away from the grandstand to make their steady climb uphill, it was Masai who took charge. "I tried to shake off the Ethiopians several times but didn't succeed," she said.
"With 300m to go, I thought I had a chance to beat them in a sprint and I broke away.
"It is not getting any easier as I get older, after all, I am old enough to be the mother to some of the competitors in the race today, but at least I seem to be improving still," said Masai, who will go into the record books as the oldest ever individual women's World Cross Country champion.

"Ils ont besoin
De sentir le plein, tellement
Il y a du vide"
Eugene Guillevic (Gallimard Editions)
|* Hypothesis
* The triangle of the desire
* External & internal mediation
* The loss of the differences
* Mimetic rivalry
The subject is desiring, but he does not know what. In his
errance, he is going to cross the road of a human being equipped with something which is
lacking to him and which seems to give to this one a plenitude that
he does not have. This apparent plenitude, so near and so distant,
completely will fascinate him. The famished desire of the subject always
seems to ask the same question to the model: " What have
you more than me ? " (to appear so happy, to have a
so beautiful wife, to be the favorite of the management, etc.).
The model is not saved more than the subject. He also try
to fix his desire and he waits until one indicates something desirable to him.
It is indeed that the subject of our triangle makes. From this point of view, he is well also an Other.
We already know that it is not the object that sees now the model, but an object transfigured by the desire of the
subject, which gives it a completely unexpected " value ".

400 gr of okra
2 peeled tomatoes
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
parsley and thyme
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil

What we have to do:
1. Remove okra stems and cut it in a bit to save cooking time.
2. Chop onions and garlic and fry them in a pan with some olive oil. Then add chopped tomatoes and okra. Stir carefully.
3. Cook for 5-7 min then add water, salt and pepper, thyme, some parsley and simmer for 10 min. Serve with pilaf garnished with parsley. Easy!!!
