Nine Ways God Will Test His Children.
Have you ever wondered why you may be going through something difficult, and you cry out to God? Does the test just keep coming back again and again? Do you ever feel like you are on a spinning hampster wheel, never really getting to the place of purpose or calling on your life? Well you are not alone.
Every Christian will endure these situations in their lives. It's just recognizing what they are, and why they may be happening over and over again. We all need to find out the secret to passing the tests God has trusted us with.
Years ago, I remember reading a book called The Purpose Driven Life. It made a huge difference in the way I viewed the Lord's character, and that he created me for a specific purpose! Ultimately our purpose is to glorify and worship the Lord, but I was asking Him, "From what platform do I live this purpose?"
The Purpose Driven Life opened my eyes to something totally new. It made a whole lot of sense and it got me thinking. "What am I supposed to be doing with my life?" I was happy as a wife and mother. However, I still wondered about my identity as a child of God, and wondered what else He had for me.
As I began to seek the Lord for my purpose, I remember sitting down on my living room floor asking him to get rid of all the junk in my life, and to make me the woman He meant for me to be without all the baggage I picked up along the way!
So, within about a week, I began to go through the most trying time in my life; Major testing through a very hot fire. My husband and I lost everything material, and it was horrible. We lost our house, our cars, my job. All because of lies from jealous, opportunistic people who wanted to steal my purpose, my calling. The enemy used them to try to take my family too, but God didn't let him!
(This reminds me of the scene in the movie War Room where the lead character went through her house and told Satan to "Get out! This house is under new management!" Such a powerful movie, I own it on Amazon Prime Movies, and I watch it like once a week. It keeps me pumped for the power of God through prayer!)
So, I didn't make the connection between these devistating events, and me asking God to destroy my baggage until I started to get into the Word of God. That was when I began to understand I was going through the fire, and God was asking me to trust him with the pain, the fear, the loss and the sorrow.
God rescued us out of that hot fire, and we have been completely restored. Kind of like the last chapter in Job, when he prayed for his friends out of obedience, and God totally restored everything he lost, and more! We went through the fire, but we didn't get burned!
I have heard it said that we are either headed toward the fire, going through the fire, or coming out of the fire. God has his reasons for refining and testing his children.
Here, I have listed nine tests from my notes on David Diga Hernandez teaching out of the story of Joseph, in Genesis 37 through Genesis 41.
Nine Ways God Tests Us
The Test of Being Misunderstood. Others will be jealous of you when God puts a blessing on your life. In Genesis 37:1-11 , Joseph was anointed to receive dreams and their interpretations from God. When he told his brothers about it, it made them super jealous. ( a very dangerous emotion by the way)
The Test of Preparation and Service. In Genesis 37:12-14 ,God takes Joseph into a place of humble service as a slave after his brothers sold him into slavery. God will test our hearts to see if we will be willing to serve in a really hard way. Will our pride fail us for the test? God detests pride more than any other sin, and when pride arrives on the scene, the fall will surely follow.
The Test of Betrayal. When Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery, he had a choice to become bitter, or to run to God for strength to pass the test. Genesis 37:18-28
The Test of Discouragement. Joseph was sold to Potiphar after being sold by his own brothers. (Genesis 39: 1-2) Joseph served through discouragement and remained persistent. Persistence doesn't start until you've given all you have, and you just keep giving with an attitude of gratitude. Joseph succeed and passed the test, he worked unto the Lord, not unto man.
The Test of Blessings After a trial is over, there may be a temptation to relax a little, spiritually. Maybe we get complacant and we don't press into God like we did in the fire. In Genesis 39:3-20 Joseph may have thought the promotion to serve in the house of Potiphar was his purpose. But then the test of Potiphar's wife came along. She falsely accused him, and instead of killing him, Potiphar sent him to prison with a position to over see the prisoners. God honored Joseph through this prison sentence. It was actually a promotion by God to prepare Joseph for even greater things. Joseph did not succumb to the temptation of Potiphar's wife. He passed the "Blessing Test" by reacting with Godly integrity, and God promoted Him to the next test.
The Test of Faithfulness In Genesis 39:21-23, Joseph experienced the darkest moments; It get's darkest before the dawn. Victory was just around the corner for Joseph. God had him in hiding for years to build in him a firm foundation in order to be fully equipped for what was next. It's kind of like when a contractor builds a tall building. He spends time on the foundation, making sure it is sturdy so when the rest of the building is built, it won't crash to the ground.
The Test of Jealousy. (Genesis 40:1-9) Joseph could have had feelings of jealousy when the others were released from prison before him. Of course, one of them didn't have the greatest future ahead of him, but the Baker did. He didn't tell Pharaoh about Joseph's gift in dream interpretation as promised.
The Test of Hiddenness . Also from Genesis 40, we see that Joseph was hidden for many years. (Just before the blessing comes, it looks hopeless.) But putting his people in hiding is the step right before he blesses them with great things. We must remain faithful and grow in these times of testing; Trusting God for what He has in store.
The Test of Faith. In Genesis 41, God gives Pharaoh a dream, and uses it to promote Joseph. It requires faith to answer the call of God. He doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called for His glory!
I don't know about you, but I want to pass the test of faith, stop spinning my wheels, and trust God for the grace to keep on going!
I would like to introduce you to David Diga Hernandez, of Spirit Church online ministry in Downey, California.
Here he teaches on his sermon: Divine Tests. Get a cup of coffee and settle in for a while with David. You will be blessed!

We've now completed one major story with Overview, and released the prototype system. But what, exactly, does Overview do? If you're into buzzwords, you could say that Overview does semantic visualization and hierarchical clustering of large document sets, of course! Or, you could just watch this video of Overview in action on two document sets: 1,500 press releases scraped from the web, and 4,500 pages of declassified documents from the U.S. Department of State.
We'll be making more videos in the future to help folks install and use Overview. Meanwhile, if you'd like to try Overview now, please see the installation instructions.

They're world-famous actors and giants of the British stage, but for Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen no stage quite compares to Newcastle.
As Star Trek star Stewart has been making clear to his fans, he and his fellow great just love being at the Theatre Royal.
In a video clip he tweeted to his 2.3m followers, Stewart is seen on the stage there praising the grade II-listed theatre which he calls "one of the most beautiful acting spaces".
And he reveals that Lord of the Rings star McKellen considers a jewel in Newcastle's crown to be the very best in England.
The legends have just completed a hugely popular run at the Theatre Royal in No Man's Land and the film shows Stewart on the set of the Harold Pinter play as he points out features of the Victorian building to the camera.
He says: "This is the auditorium of the Theatre Royal in Newcastle which has been beautifully renovated and restored.
"It's been a working theatre for 150 years and a lot of love and time and money has been spent on it.
"Ian McKellen and I think it's one of the best and most beautiful acting spaces in England - Ian thinks it's the best."
He adds how audience members with tickets to the top-most gallery need a head for heights.
In words he could have uttered in his famous role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the Star Trek film franchise, he said it was "a long, long way away".
He added: "You wouldn't want to sit up there if you had vertigo as it's very steep."
The actor, again speaking on behalf of his fellow thesp, had also tweeted: "My co-star and I are having a glorious run so far with No Man's Land. Thank you Newcastle!"
Both award-winning actors' careers span decades.
In recent years, six-time Olivier Award-winner McKellen, 77, won over a new generation of fans by playing Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, while Stewart, a year younger, did the same with film roles such as Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men series.
The pair previously have acted together at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.

I'm not sure if card collectors are also fans of Lord of the Rings but there is a neat little project called The Hunt for Gollum that is coming out this summer. It is a fan project that focuses on a story of Strider/Aragorn trying to track down Gollum in the pre-Fellowship of the Ring days. No Viggo Mortenson or Ian McKellen...and I imagine no Andy Serkis as Gollum too...there is no sign of Gollum in the trailer, just a voice, so it's unclear how they are going to handle Smeagol.
Here is the trailer:

Outlaws (ISBN 0-9754618-1-8)
Quantity in Basket:
Price: $9.95
Outlaws helps children learn to recognize and spell words that do not follow short and long vowel rules. For example, one rule states that a single vowel in the middle of a word is usually short. Exceptions-told, cold, hold. Another rule states that the first vowel in 2-vowel words is usually long. Exceptions: bread, thread, head. Comical illustrations show children how to recognize "outlaw gangs" in words by noticing the vowels and letters that follow. Once the children have become familiar with the irregular words in this song, they can use the instrumental track to substitute their own outlaw words. Examples: 3-letter patterns-there, where; 4-letter patterns-could, would; 5-letter patterns-caught, taught. Take a look inside the book and listen to the song. Save on this book and others with one of our Book Collections or Literacy Center Collections.

James Cooke: Stay Put And Add Value!
James Cooke MA is Director of Your Home Property Management and in this article he offers five different investment strategies for leaseholders looking to add value to their flat – without selling.
Over the last year or so we've seen more and more of our leaseholder clients choosing to sit tight, not sell, and instead sweat their existing property asset. Before we move on to adding value to your flat, let's just spend a moment understanding the housing market. I do this not because I want to waste your time but because it will help rationalise my investment tips.
The Current Housing Market
Right now mortgages are cheap. But to unlock these fabulous deals requires a massive deposit. Usually north of 25%. So on a £200,000 flat you need £50,000. Yep – me neither. High deposits are a key factor in explaining why the housing market has been flat for the last few years. The situation is steadily improving; you can now get a mortgage with just a 5% deposit but the deals are much less attractive.
Those hit hardest by high deposits are young first time buyers – because they haven't got any property assets to begin with. But why are those who already own property hurting too? Because they haven't seen a decent rise in their property's value and no increase in equity means no juicy deposit for a good deal.
Stuck In A Catch 22
In a nutshell: no one can get a decent deposit because there's been no increase in equity – and there's no increase in equity because no one can access the funds to drive up demand.
So we are stuck. But for how long? Until 2034. Yep – an FT report quoted an economist predicting that (if you factor in inflation) the UK average house price won't return to 2008 levels until 2034. This is the pessimistic view.
Ed Stansfield at Capital Economics is a bit more upbeat: "All the evidence shows house prices are still far too high in relation to people's incomes. At the very least, homeowners need to be braced for another five to ten years without seeing any rises at all in the value of their property."
So the experts' view is that house prices aren't going anywhere for at least five years – probably more. Add this to the fact we are in the worst ever recession (which may yet be a triple dip slump and even worse than 1929) and you can understand home owners simply battening down the hatches.
Five Sure Fire Ways To Add Value To Your Flat
What can a leaseholder do to sweat their property assets? Most people haven't got £50k as a deposit for a great mortgage deal but many have a few thousand which they can spend wisely to add value. Here's our list of the five most popular ways leaseholders are investing in their own homes to add value.
1. Extend Your Lease
When your lease term runs out your lovely flat is handed back to the landlord. And you get nothing. But there is statutory legislation that gives you the right to extend (by 90 years) at any time. In the main the cost of extending your lease is outweighed by the additional value of a flat with a long lease. Just don't leave it too late because it can get really expensive. A good time to extend is if your lease has between 95 and 85 years remaining. Don't go below 80 years outstanding because lease extension costs start to rocket.
2. Buy Your Freehold
Or for about the same money as a lease extension you, and your neighbours, could club together to buy your freehold from your landlord. And so long as your building qualifies, your landlord has to sell. Like most things there will be negotiations over the price but in the main agreement is found. If not you can get the price resolved by the First Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber). Again the cost of buying your freehold is less than the value added by having a flat with a share of freehold. Plus you will get a 999 year lease and no ground rent – and total control over the block's management. For total control, buy your freehold.
3. Swap Your Managing Agent
You can also add value by kicking your poor performing managing agents into touch. Effective block management is a rock solid way to add value. If you're suffering with poor management imagine what that performance is doing to your flat's value…the door entry system isn't working, the garden's neglected, and the hallway is in a state. Maximise your property's value with an effective property manager.
4. Let Your Property
Of course if you can get a deposit together and secure a great mortgage deal then there's no better way of sweating your property asset than by getting someone else to move in and pay off your mortgage for you. But as we've already touched on this route requires the Holy Grail of a big deposit for your new home.
5. Home Improvements
Sounds dated doesn't it? But spending a few thousand pounds on the right improvements can have a dramatic effect on your property's value. According to research by HSBC, the most effective investment in terms of home improvement is to…add space i.e. a loft extension or out to the side. But this is impossible for a flat owner. The next best area according to the HSBC research is…to invest in a new or enhanced kitchen. If your kitchen's looking a bit jaded any enhancements will have a dramatic impression on the overall value of your home.
You can of course go the whole nine yards and replace the complete kitchen. But bear in mind you can make some dramatic results just by replacing unit doors and investing in a great paint job.
All of the above work. If you're a flat owner waiting for the good times of dramatic property price rises to pay for your next move – you could have a very long wait. In the shorter term these five tips will more than pay for themselves and help you effectively sweat your property asset.

The online system will have five features and cover the entire cycle of a project starting from the filing of application to their scrutiny, sanction of building plans, payments by developers for external and infrastructure development to government besides the monthly or quarterly progress of the project and compliance of norms.
Even minute details including notices and orders issued by local offices will have to be uploaded, thereby leaving no scope for them to misuse their authority. Since every detail of projects including that of allottees will be available online, anyone buying a flat under Economically Weaker Section (EWS) category won't be able to buy another one from a different developer.
Till now there was no such system to check whether one person has several EWS flats and there have also been allegations of developers booking these flats in "fake" names.

Yep, we finally hit 40 degrees. It was a bit breezy and the sun was hazy. The birds were chirping and the roads were wet. I put on my hip boots and a tromping I went.
The fishing was rather tough. Several runs had finally shed their ice. The streams and rivers had gotten a ton of pressure this weekend as compared to weekends in the past. The first really nice warm day in what seems like a decade. Of coarse people were crawling out of their winter holes left and right. I made the best of it.
These warmer melting early spring trout trips are more for my soul than they are for my catching itch. Filling my lungs with fresh air and listening to the sound of new arriving birds is very humbling. The snow, on the other hand, is by no means and easy task. Mobility comes with a price. Sore legs and sweaty clothes. It is so worth every grueling step.
Trout can be a fish of many frustrations. I sat on a pool that was holding a ton of fish. After theygot sick of my spinner blowing by them I had to switch it up a bit. Pulled an old trick out of my pack. A beaded head wooly bugger with a cork strike indicator. The strike indicator must be cork, very important. The water is gin clear and fish spook easy. The cork is very natural and camouflages the indicator. Drift this rig along the current and you will pick up a few stragglers. Be patient with it and let the current do the work.
The snow is deep, but so is my drive. Fresh air is an amazing thing. Get yourself some. Get trout and about.

Chairman's Address - 2011
2011 was another successful year for Capital Angels. We held three dinner meetings which were well attended and sponsored by Ernst & Young, Clearcorp and Business and Industry Development, ACT Government Economic Development Directorate. We also ran an Investment Readiness workshop in September in association with NICTA. On the 8th December we ran our end of year event in association with Lighthouse & Epicorp. I have included some highlights for the year:
Thanks Uwe! - At our end of year event at the Belconnen Arts Centre we had the opportunity to thank Uwe Boettcher for his service as Chairman for Capital Angels over the last couple of years. During his tenure we have got Capital Angels on a solid financial footing, grown membership, formalised the event calendar, increased sponsorship, broadened the committee and put in place transition plans to ensure the long term viability of the organisation. We are delighted that Uwe will continue on the committee and we look forward to enjoying his insight and company at our gatherings in 2012.
Hello Michele! - At our committee meeting in September, I was elected Chairman (formerly deputy Chairman) and Michele Troni was elected Deputy Chairman. Michele is the Chief Investment Officer at Australian Capital Ventures (part of the Hindmarsh Group). Michele is a very experienced investor in the early-stage sector and we are fortunate to have his expertise and wisdom as part of our team. I look forward to working closely with Michele over the next couple of years.
Thanks Lighthouse! - Many of you will know we have a formal alliance with Lighthouse. Anna and her team are a critical part of the success of Capital Angels including hosting meetings, organising events, member communication, marketing, deal screening etc. One of the reasons for the success of Capital Angels is the enthusiasm of the team @ Lighthouse. As such I would like to send a huge 'Thank You' to Anna, Cindy, Lachlan, Lyn, Lauren and Su.
Thanks Steve! - As a small, not for profit organisation we rely on the contributions of many people. In particular I would like to thank Steve Bennett and Clearcorp for producing the accounts for Capital Angels each year - this is a significant task and is done in a professional and positive way.
Thanks Committee members! - We have a diverse and strong executive committee who volunteer their time each month to participate in the screening meetings and the organisation meetings. We could not run CA with their help! Thanks to Uwe, Michele, Anna, Cindy, Lachlan, Steve, Dominic & Phil.
Thanks Pat! Pat Mooney from Commercialisation Australia has been an informal part of Capital Angels for most of this year - he attends all of our dinner meetings and has had great success in his role as Case Manager @ Commercialisation Australia - we look forward to a closer relationship with Pat in 2012.
Recently, there have been a lot of announcements coming out from the Government - for those of you who have not seen them the most relevant to us are:
The $200m Renewable Energy VC Fund (REVCF) mandate awarded to Southern Cross Venture Partners - http://www.ret.gov.au/energy/Documents/cei/acre/Overview-of-SXVP-fund.pdf The IIF final round of funding has opened with an increase of fund available from $60m to $100m - http://minister.innovation.gov.au/Carr/MediaReleases/Pages/INVESTINGININNOVATIVECOMPANIES.aspx Telstra announcing its investment program for early stage ventures - http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/opinion/apps-key-in-telstras-world/story-e6frg9io-1226088881092 The new improved R&D Tax Incentive scheme currently being implemented - http://www.ausindustry.gov.au/InnovationandRandD/RandDTaxIncentive/Pages/RandDTaxIncentive.aspx
The early stage scene in Australia is growing dramatically with a number of new incubators having been launched in Sydney & Melbourne - this is positive for the overall eco-system. Finally I wanted to highlight some upcoming events in 2012:
2012 National Angels Conference - "Angel Capital - ensuring a sustainable future" at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 29 February - 2 March, 2012 - http://wired.ivvy.com/event/FK6SN8 - early bird registrations close on 31st December 2011First Capital Angels Dinner event of 2012 - 29 Marc
I would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
Kind Regards
Nick McNaughton
Chairman - Capital Angels

CALL THE POST OFFICE CAUSE YOUR ASS JUST GOT STAMPED…. Jan. 16, 2008
I did it today kept a smile all day.. moments came that tried to disrupt it.. but I could feel my own glow so could those around me.. they instantly smiled when the saw me.. I feel good.. I feel better than good.. I feel me… I am starting to feel that this cocoon can be such a odd thing to shake cause there are parts of me from the healing process that are still unsure of what the nature of being inside me coming out means.. The butterfly effect can make anyone unsure… but the cool part is I get to continue to watch it develop in me.. with me all by myself… amazing how we all don't understand what it means to look deep within yourself and really look and see who we are.. The soul can allow such things to be let go without wondering what it is that we feel we need or what we want.. we just sit and watch life pass up by.. and then realize we have wasted so much time.. time that we could have.. or should have or done something differently… Life can be trial and error if you want it too.. but when things feel right they feel right all the way… they feel right because I am finding the soul can take you inside yourself and you have alot inside you..imagine miles of the earth but the size of the universe… just finding it or letting it be seems to be the romantic nature of the beast.. How do you approve of what you are doing? how do you approve of what in you is what you want to do… I am finding I am deeply hopelessly in love with the OS!M's that have always consumed my life.. but never knew what type these would be should be.. and now could be.. Life is an OS!M life and love.. Love though can be magical when you open your eyes to it.. and realize there is so much more.. so much you didn't even touch upon it.. I am learning to understand that love is not the feeling of overwhelming joy for another and you want to be with that person… Love is free… Love is wonderful.. and Love is the action word it was always meant to be.. but the More part of love.. I am finding is something even deeper than that.. A connection exist in this… a connection that can't be denied.. can't be withdrawn… can't be ignored… It owns your soul… it generates a part of you that has been locked for lifetimes… The funny sad part is you have this tiny part in you that grows at a rapid rate and allows all the parts of you to come together when you can finally reach it….. remember that foundation thingy thing I broke within my soul… well even that can be cemented back together.. back together for a permanent feel to what life can bring you… Life.. Life is the OS!M… we fear it alone.. we run from it when we have someone.. what if you didn't run anymore.. what if we all have failed to realize we are separate and very much together in here.. and we walk the earth looking for answers to something that has nothing to do with what we are really here for… I have found out this in my quest and my need to want to heal.. I want the healing.. I am one with the light and the light is one with me…. Here is a perfect example.. My dog.. My best friend my only reason to come home unless my boy is here.. Rocky… he immediately wags his tail when he jumps in the window and sees it is me coming home.. he runs through the house and his tail knocks down everything that is within reach.. I never really paid attention to this.. but I slowed time with him… and the poor thing got so excited he peed all over the place.. Now I have had Rocky for about 6 years.. and never seen such a thing.. but within me over the past couple of years I have been a walking corpse.. a walking dead…. As I find more alone time to find within me and not worry about everybody else to not include myself… I allowed the greatest moments in my life to escape me.. never again.. not for anyone to include me.. or Rocky.. it is quite hilarious.. cause I thought dogs understood more sound than site.. but a dog or even any animal can respond to a smile.. a smile and overall feeling the soul can bring to you to share when you allow it to finally grow outside of it's boundaries… Try this.. take all the energy you have to feel and release it to one thing or person or animal in your life and watch the response.. The results will be something that lights a fire in what ever energy you release… Imagine finding a love that could do this.. Imagine finding another soul that does that back to your own.. can you imagine the possibilities of what dreams you never had that could come true.. that could rock the world around you and place them in sync with that love… Nothing ever imagined is possible.. yes I said it…Now call the postal service your ass has been stamped… understand this is a wake up call… a wake up call to let the romance of the possibilities come to light within you as it has me.. you can find it.. it is in each of us.. If not.. damnit yall are missing some shit cause this light ins't going out! LMAO goodnight and may the dreams you don't know exist come true!
BTW most of you are still scratching your heads wondering what the Hell is the OS!M… Ok… you just found out you hit the lottery for 2 millions dollars.. well the words that come out of you are from the soul… Cause out of your body comes raising your hands.. and then from your mouth comes.. OH SHIT! add that to Moments and yes you got a OS!M… now feel better… then go find yours.. and make sure you have them as much as possible.. cause the soul will let anything come out of you if you let it.. it is not meant to be contained…:-)

Is it accurate to say that you were more "here" when you wrote this, yet so much less "present"? It seems that you're traveling. In this era, you're fighting. Yet, the peace is still evident. Unrealised, but there. So odd.

Does Art Nurture a Community?
Jobs, housing, schools, a decent infrastructure – no-one argues that these are essential ingredients to a community. But art as economic development? The topic can open up a heated debate. By serendipity, the common thread that runs through the articles in our second issue gives this question much food for thought.
Is it possible the little town of Chemainus, BC, would still be struggling to exist if it had not been for someone who believed in art. Now it thrives, its 33 murals drawing over 400,000 visitors a year. Dawson Creek may have lost its historic grain elevator had it not been converted to a vibrant art gallery. The new phase of the Grande Prairie Museum at Centre 2000 is brought to life, thanks to the talent of Tim Heimdal.
Repeated studies show that teaching art and music in schools creates more diverse and successful learners. No-one working at the Prairie Art Gallery would doubt that. The children who visit on the many school tours embrace art and become its best ambassadors.
Partnerships of diversity are the key to growth – whether artistic, or economic. Taking primary colours and creating rainbows; turning a flat, square building into a glorious waterfall; evolving rage into beauty; making a vision become a reality. This is the power of art.

There have been reports in the Cryptopervert media that HUMANS HAVE SHOT AND KILLED A CHIYE-TANKA HOMINOID IN SOUTH DAKOTA!!! Rumor is that the murder victim's body was "SMUDGED" and secretly taken to THE SOUTH DAKOTA SCHOOL OF MINES AND TECHNOLOGY FOR "STUDY"!!!
Now the Human mining school has issued a press release claiming that it was ALL A JOKE, that there WAS NO MURDER, and denied that they STOCKPILE HOMINOID CORPSES IN MINE SHAFTS DEEP BELOW THEIR SCHOOL FOR USE IN CONDUCTING BIZARRE MEDICAL RESEARCH AND OTHER STRANGE RITUALS!!!
Excuse my skeptical howl, but: THIS IS A COVERUP!!!
The School of Mines knows that if the Chiye-tanka believed this HEINOUS CRIME took place that THEY WOULD STORM THE CAMPUS AND DELIMB THE BOARD OF REGENTS!!! They must be aware of OLIVER RED CLOUD, one of the Humans implicated with the shooting incident, who is an AMPUTEE -- presumably the result of having done SOMETHING to upset the Chiye-tanka community! So they desperately want everyone to think it was all a HOAX like JOGI and FORGET ABOUT IT!!!
WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!! We know what you are hiding in your mines and eventually the TRUTH will come out! Remember: THERE IS NO STATUTE OF DELIMB-LIMITATIONS FOR HOMINOIDICIDE!!!
HOWL TO TYPING OCTOPUS: SHUT UP!!! No one cares about a dead octopus in the Ohio river! IT IS JUST FOOD!!! And YOU WILL BE TOO, once I find out which Hominoidnet kiosk you are using to post here! THEY ARE FOR SASQUATCH, NOT FOR TASTY SNACKS!!!

|Underlying Causes and Level of Learning from Accidents Reported to the MARS Database
|JACOBSSON Anders; SALES Jaime; MUSHTAQ Fesil
|JOURNAL OF LOSS PREVENTION IN THE PROCESS INDUSTRIES vol. 22 no. 1 p. 39-45
|Publication Year:
|Articles in periodicals and books
|MARS is the system established and maintained by the European Commission in order to collect information related to major industrial accidents in EU Member States in the context of the Seveso II Directive. One of the main purposes of the MARS database is to provide information for learning from the accidents to avoid similar events. Probably, the most important issue for the learning is the determination of the causes, particularly the underlying causes, of the accidents. One objective was to find possible patterns of underlying causes per industry type and per country. Another objective was to determine the occurrence of weaknesses in safety management systems and in safety culture as underlying causes. A further objective was to determine the level of learning from the accidents, as it appears from the reports, per industry type and per country. A sequential method, presented by us in a previous paper in this publication, was used to make it possible to go beyond the causes given in the original reports and to find more underlying causes. To determine the level of learning from the accidents, using the actions/lessons learned given in the reports, a classification method was developed. This method establishes the level of learning of the lessons learned from each case description, essentially from the organisational point of view. This paper presents the results of an analysis regarding underlying causes of all the accidents of the MARS database reported up to mid 2007. The results are expressed per industry type and per country. The main results are that as much as three times as many underlying causes can be found when applying the method developed compared with what is given in the original reports. The most important underlying causes are found in weaknesses in process analysis (risk assessment) and in procedures, regardless of industry type. Weaknesses in safety management systems and in safety culture contribute as underlying causes in a very high percentage of the accidents. The quality of reporting, measured in terms of analysis of underlying causes, vary considerably between various countries. The level of learning, as determined from the information in the reports, is found to be in general rather low, especially from some of the countries. This study has given rise to ideas of improvement of the MARS system. It has also raised many questions, some of which would be suitable for further research.

Freezing your lemons is the best thing you can do with all the lemons in your fridge.
This citrus fruit is packed with numerous health benefits, and most of the powerful compounds are hidden in the skin.
Well, if you use lemons for your homemade juices, you're definitely losing most of its mighty nutrients.
Try to find a way that will help you use lemon peel. If you decide to use the bitter-zesty skin, you get 5-10 more nutrients.
Lemons are rich in vitamins A, B6, C, and E, folate, calcium, copper, iron, zinc, magnesium, potassium, protein, riboflavin, niacin thiamin, and phosphorus.
Flavonoids and limonoids strengthen cells, which aids in cancer treatment and prevention.
Lemons destroy cancer cells, prevent diabetes, regulate blood pressure, soothe acid reflux, treat fever, and reduce weight. Citric acid destroys germs and microorganisms.
Some like to use lemons to cleanse and brighten skin.
Whole lemons contain 22 anticancer agents, including:
- Limonene
- Citrus pectin
- Flavonol glycosides
- Vitamin C
Freeze your lemons before using them. Wash, pat dry, and seal in freezer packs.
It's much easier to grate frozen lemons, and you get its peel and all.
All you have to do is cut off the ends, and start grating.
Get your grated lemons in the freezer again, and use them whenever needed.
Your body will be more than grateful!

Easy Garden Obelisk – a great and inexpensive DIY! This obelisk can be used for roses, sweet peas or even squash in the garden.
There is so many things you can use this easy garden obelisk for. I have even made an arbor from them for my Secret Garden. Last year I even used it as a tomato cage, it worked great! Plus it was so much prettier than my wire support cages.
Why do I call it easy???
Because unlike all the obelisk plans I found online this one has no angle cuts.
Since it is going in the garden and I plan on it being covered with something that climbs I did not care if edges matched up precisely or were perfectly mitered.
I wanted fast and easy…
Want to see how we built it?
The photos are not the best but I had to take them in less than optimum light.
- 8 – 8 ft 2 x 2's (I think these are pine or fir)
- 3 inch wood screws
- Wood Glue
Cut 4 – 2 x 2's @ 72 inches long (legs)(you can adjust to height you wish)
Rungs for ladders:
- 2 @8 inches,
- 2 @11 5/8 inches,
- 2 @ 15 5/8 inches,
- 2 @19 3/4 inches,
- 2 @ 24 inches
Second set of rungs to attach ladders together:
- 2 @ 1 1 inches,
- 2 @ 14 5/8 inches,
- 2 @ 18 5/8 inches,
- 2 @ 22 3/4 inches,
- 2 @ 27 inches
Now that you have your pieces cut you are going to build a ladder.
Lay 2 of the 72 inch pieces on a flat table.
We used the edge of the table as a straight edge.
Measure up 6 inches from the bottom of both legs for placement of the bottom rung or crosspiece.
Fasten the rung to the legs. (24 inch piece) I would recommend pre-drilling but my husband cheats.
When I make the next one I will pre-drill.
He is screwing in at an angle to prevent splitting (it does not always work, shh don't tell him I told you)
Since the legs are at an angle and the cross pieces are cut square we only line up the top corner to the edge of the leg. The gap you can see will be covered later.
We start with the lowest rung then attach the top rung. (8 inch piece) Same deal, again match up the top corner.
Here is a better photo of lining up the rungs to the leg edges.
Check for square, you do that by taking measurements on the diagonal and adjusting the legs until the measurements match as closely as possible.
The adjusting is called racking, you push on the corner that has the longer dimension (if they don't match) by half the distance.
(clear as mud??)
example: If one side is 1/2 inch longer push the corner a 1/4 inch then re-measure (it is not an exact science but it will bring it closer to square) Keep racking until dimensions are equal or very close.
Now attach your other cross pieces or rungs.
We measured from the bottom of the bottom rung and the top of the top rung (hook your measuring tape on the bottom rung and pull it to the top of the top rung and read) We divided that measurement by 4 to get our placements for the rungs.
Ours were 16 1/4 inches apart.
We marked the spots for each rung.
The placements of the rungs is from the bottom rung at 16 1/4", 32 1/2" 48 3/4" (see sketch at bottom of page)
Now you should have your first ladder built.
The really sweet part of this is the next ladder will be a piece of cake.
Use the first one as a template. No measuring or figuring this time.
Lay your 2 x 2's right on the ladder you just built. Just whip along matching board for board and your second ladder will be complete in no time.
Now lay your ladders on their sides to attach the side rungs.
This set of rungs are 3 inches longer than the ladder rungs, they will overlap the first set as you see in the photo.
Attach the remaining rungs to the opposite side and voila' an easy trellis obelisk
You can attach a top plate with a fancy topper but I did not have one.
I have considered cutting out a silhouette of a flying pig and attaching it.
Maybe make it a weather vane but that is for another day.
Now paint it whatever color you wish. I would recommend painting or using a protective oil (tung oil) on this since is it just pine.
If it was redwood or cedar you could just let it weather.
Current price at our local lumberyard for 8 foot 2 x 2's is $2.30 each.
So the total for this project for the lumber was about $20.
We had the 3 inch screws on hand and I drug out an old can of spray paint.
Now I just need to build a couple more and I am set.
Here is a rough sketch of the first ladder if a visual will help you.
It is all downhill after you get the first side built.
I love DIY Obelisk, here is a quick video for one for containers.
Happy building.

It's that time of week again and, as usual, DON'T BE A FOOL. This post is full of
spoilers, because that is what round-ups are; I've you've not watched this episode and the surprises, then stop reading this post!
"The House of Black and White'
Having sailed all the way to Braavos and exhausting all other possibilities in her quest for stability, you can forgive Arya Stark for being disillusioned after being informed by an elder black man that no-one by the name of Jaqen H'ghar (the faceless man who gave her the coin) lives in the House of Black and White. After spending the night recounting her Death List Mantra on its doorstep before tossing the coin into the sea, she goes in search for food only to be set upon by three young men who appear to have a penchant for headless pigeon and her skinny sword. Luckily for Arya, the man from the House of Black and White had followed her and comes to her rescue. He takes her back with him and removes his face, revealing himself to be Jaqen H'ghar after all.
Back in Westeros, Brienne and Pod are chowing down on a candlelit dinner for two when Pod spots their target, Sansa Stark, tucked away in a corner of the tavern with Littlefinger and their hareem of armoured guards. Proffering her services in a way only the noble Brienne could – on bended knee – she finds her offer spurned by the elder Stark at Littlefinger's encouragement. Cue fists, swords and a messy getaway (Pod looses control of his steed yet again, almost to his peril).
Following the arrival of some peculiar viper taxidermy in Kingslanding, after Cersei's increasingly bitter cajoling, Jamie sets out on a quest to rescue their daughter Marcella (and his slowly eroding manhood) from the clutches of Dorne. Who does he choose as his companion? Why, only Bronn, the least loyal hired hand in the land, of course! With Jamie out of her hair, Cersei attempts to exercise some control in her reformation of the Small Council, though she is fooling next to no one that it is King Tommen's wishes that she is enforcing. Fending off misogyny, with her Uncle Kevan stating that she 'is the Queen mother, and nothing more' before departing in a huff, Cersei deploys Lord Tyrell overseas to the Iron Bank and declares non-Maester Qyburn a new chair on the Small Council (and offends Maester Pycelle in the process, much to her pleasure).
We are treated to another glimpse of Dorne, with its subsequent inhabitants slowly expanding. Ellaria Sands, the lover of Prince Oberin – the Viper – (he whose head exploded, courtesy of The Mountain) demands revenge for his death. Oberin's brother, Doran Martell, refuses to chop up Marcella to placate the grieving Ellaria's demands, and she declares him weak. We can only assume that she will take things into her own hands…
Back at the Wall and Stannis offers to name Jon Snow a Stark by law in return for his aid in Stannis' claiming the North (the Mormont's of Bear Island, long time allies of the North, refuse to acknowledge any Ward of the North whose name was not Stark). Jon decides to turn down this opportunity to not be a bastard, stating his home and duty belongs at the Wall as a man of the Night's Watch, which turns out to be apt after he is named the 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Count your blessings, eh?
In Meereen, Grey Worm and Daario Narharis capture a Son of the Harpy. The representative of the slave community wants him to be executed, but Ser Barristan manages to convince Daenerys to allow him a trial after recounting a story of her father, the Mad King, and his slow, power-hungry decline. Things don't stay happy for long however, with the slave representative choosing to take matters into his own hands, murdering the Son of the Harpy. "Myhsa" isn't happy, and states that the 'law is the law', which naturally leads to the slave representative being executed (publicly) too. The Meereen hiss and turn on her, and she and her hands bolt. There is trouble when it comes to being Queen, and it seems Daenerys is learning the hard way. Almost symbolically, Drogon comes home, only to fly off once again, into the distance.
What did you think of Episode 2? Where do you think things will go next?

Fairly frequently the battery for you toy electric car or ride-on motorbike, electric Quad, or any other battery powered kids or childs vehicle will cease charging as nicely as it after could. In addition to the Lithium-ion Battery Coverage for defects in supplies or workmanship (96 months/100,000 miles), the Nissan LEAF® Lithium-ion battery is also warranted against capacity loss below nine bars of capacity as shown on the vehicle's battery capacity level gauge for a period of 60 months or 60,000 miles with the 24kWh battery and 96 months or one hundred,000 miles with the 30kWh battery, whichever comes very first.
Functionality testing simulates the drive cycles for the drive trains of Battery Electric Autos (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) and Plug in Hybrid Electric Autos (PHEV) as per the needed specifications of automobile producers ( OEMs ). For the duration of these drive cycles, controlled cooling of the battery can be performed, simulating the thermal conditions in the vehicle.
If you are asking yourself how GM can you possibly supply an EV with that range at that value — while nevertheless asserting they will make a substantial profit on the car — the auto company disclosed last fall that the battery cell for the Bolt from the South Korean firm LG Chem will expense just $145 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), an astounding cost.
You have heard of hybrid cars – properly now there are 'Plug-in Hybrid' (PHEV) cars, as well, which have a larger battery that can be charged up employing mains electricity, allowing you to drive further at higher speed on pure electric energy prior to the engine kicks in. There are also 'Extended Range' electric vehicles (E-REV) like the Vauxhall Ampera, which can go even additional on electric-only energy – the Ampera's onboard petrol engine is only there to create electricity when the batteries are depleted.
There were also intriguing benefits regarding variety requirements, variety-price tradeoff preferences, and battery upgrades that I will highlight in far more depth in articles coming in the next week — or you can just verify out Electric Cars: What Early Adopters & First Followers Want and/or the video above for a lot more discussion on these matters.

The following have appeared recently.
Care.data should be opt-in - Jarman
25 February 2014 Rebecca Todd
The care.data programme should be opt in not opt out, well-known health data expert Professor Brian Jarman has said.
Professor Jarman is director of the Dr Foster Unit at Imperial College London and developed the methodology for the Hospital Standardised Mortality Ratio.
In an interview with EHI, he said the care.data programme, which is being developed to link hospital and GP datasets and share information with researchers and others, should be set up on an opt-in basis.
He has shared his views with NHS England's chief data officer Geraint Lewis and director of patients and information, Tim Kelsey. However, he does not sense much enthusiasm for the idea.
Care.data involves extracting a new monthly dataset from GP practices and linking this with other datasets, such as the Hospital Episode Statistics, within the 'safe haven' of the Health and Social Care Information Centre.
Patients can opt-out of their data extracted or shared by telling their GP; otherwise their consent to the extractions is implied. NHS England has been running a leaflet campaign about the project, but this has been heavily criticised, and the first extractions were recently delayed until the autumn.
Professor Jarman pointed to the way Scotland is handling the creation of a similar new database of GP data, called the Scottish Primary Care Information Resource, as a better way forward. Patients choose to opt-in to the resource, and GPs have a choice over which aspects of the programme they participate in.
"I would much prefer to do it the way the Scots are doing it and allow people to opt-in after being fully informed about the pros and cons," Professor Jarman said.
NHS England announced last week that it would delay the start of GP extractions by six months to allow more time for the benefits and implications of care.data to be explained.
Professor Jarman argued that during this time everybody should be sent an addressed envelope clearly explaining the care.data scheme, with a paid-reply envelope and opt-in form.
"I think in an informed system you would get about half the population, if you really did it well and made it easy to reply and opt-in," he said. "Fifty per cent would be an enormous dataset and you could start working with that."
As the scheme gained trust, the number of people consenting to their data being extracted would likely increase, he added.
Professor Jarman said the Hospital Episode Statistics have been available for many years and one of the key issues has not been about availability of reliable data, but getting people to take notice of it.

'Exciting' care.data info plan promised
26 February 2014 Lis Evenstad
NHS England will use the six month delay to care.data to launch a re-engagement programme to get the public on board.
Giving evidence about the programme to combine hospital, GP and other data to the Commons' health select committee yesterday, Tim Kelsey, NHS England's director of patients and information, acknowledged there had been problems communicating the project.
"We had a lot of confusion, suspicion and anxiety," Kelsey told MPs. "We are going to be launching a very exciting programme which specifically articulates the purpose of this programme. That is why we have this extension."
The care.data programme will link an expanded set of Hospital Episode Statistics with new datasets, starting with an extract from GP practices, within the 'safe haven' of the Health and Social Care Information Centre.
It was due to start GP extractions last autumn, but this was pushed back to March this year. Kelsey announced earlier this month that the launch date had been pushed back a further six months, following widespread media coverage and further concerns from GP bodies.
NHS England's information campaign has included a £1m leaflet drop to every household in the country. But the leaflets have been criticised for not containing clear information about what data will be collected, how it will be released to researchers and others, and how people can opt-out.
Kelsey told the committee that NHS England will engage with stakeholders over the next few weeks to deal with the issues.
More here:
For those who came in recently the care.data program is designed to automatically extract a data-set from UK GP systems to be used for a range of monitoring and performance management purposes for the National Health Service.
I blogged on this recently here:
With the political heat and privacy alarm that came from the original proposal it seems very sensible to back off a little and to make sure there is enhanced clarity and explanation as to what is going to be done, who will use the data, how it will be protected and so on!
With the recent leak of immigration department personal asylum seeker data in this country there would certainly be some anxiety with this sort of proposal without some tough safeguards.
This is a program to keep an eye on over the next year or so.

Proteins stop fish from freezing
Fish in the Antarctic live in salt water that can be below normal freezing point. If the water inside the fish froze then its volume would increase and the fishes' cells would burst, so they protect themselves from the cold with special glycopeptides – amino acid strings in which a threonine side chain has a sugar molecule attached. Any ice crystals that form become coated with this natural antifreeze and remain too small to cause damage.
Such natural antifreeze molecules could help to improve tissue preservation in medicine (eg in sperm banks or when donated organs have to be shipped for transplant in another hospital). They could even be applied in cryonics, where people pay to have their bodies – or sometimes just their heads – frozen after death, in the hope that one day medicine will be sufficiently advanced to bring them back to life.
Questions for discussion
- Would you want your body to be frozen after you die? Why?
- What would be the consequences if this practice became routine?
- How are doctors using low temperatures? (Hint: Start exploring this by searching for 'therapeutic hypothermia' online.)

Disclaimer: We aren't allowed to use the term "suite life" because that's already been taken by Zach and Cody, but we found it relevant to write an article about housing since it is looming in at least some of our futures.
You see, there's always a debate this time of year about suite-style versus corridor-style, and it can be hard to wade through the masses of opinions and make the best choice for you personally. Thus, Jester is here to help (as always) and compile a list of the most important opinions for you to consider.
"I love suite style, because my best friends Barry and Shelly can't hide from me, and they have to hang out with me, because we pass each other every day," said senior Boe Jiden.
"I think I'm going to stick with corridor style," replied Pike Mence. "I feel uncomfortable around some of the people I live with, and want to be able to sneak out without them seeing me."
Trelania Mump, an incoming freshman, agreed with Mence. "Corridor style makes it easier to get a single room. And the only thing I want more than to go back home right now is to live the single life."
Well, there you have it, friends. The most important opinions about whether it's better to live in the corridor or to enjoy the sweet life!

Through the online world just about everything is achievable these days. And the vehicle shipping and delivery industry makes absolutely no exception. An easy search shows you all the businesses inside the St. Louis, MO region. It is possible to gain access to the prices thus you will know from the beginning what you are getting into. Bear in mind at times having to pay less at the start means plenty of problems in the end.
At this point things become a little tricky. You must research the firm you are interested in. There are usually lots and lots of people from St. Louis, MO who have published online reviews and they are generally a great supply of info. Try to read between the lines and be as objective as possible. Also, make sure the company you've decided on has been in business for some time. It's a frequent thing for companies which mess up to rebrand themselves.
The next thing is to reserve your transport. Don't forget to request a confirmation email or fax because this may come in handy. Your car needs then to be prepared for transportation. Don't leave anything in your car, especially important things. If you do not do that, the car transport company is not liable if your things get lost or damaged. Furthermore, nearly every car transport company around St. Louis, MO would most likely advise you to have less than a 1 / 4 tank of gas. Having a lighter load, the actual fuel usage throughout the transportation is minimized which implies lower expenses. Moreover, washing your automobile prior to transit might also be a very good idea. This way it can be much easier to identify the automobile condition both before and after the move.
Make sure you get a proper vehicle check up from the carrier driver when it comes for the pick-up. A duplicate of the vehicle condition report with all the notes ought to be provided to you. Hold on to yours because this may come in handy in St. Louis. You never know precisely what might take place during the transportation, so check your vehicle once the St. Louis, MO vehicle transport firm comes with it. Don't ignore anything as this is your only opportunity to claim deterioration. If that's the situation, request the carrier to note in the condition report, sign it and give you a copy.
Whatever you need to transport from St. Louis, MO, you'll discover the right company that will help you. Do some research and then examine offers.

Have you read any blog posts this week about the Olympics?
I'm not talking about the posts that report on the great stories from the games. I'm talking about blogs that really have nothing to do with the Olympics, but they discuss the games as a way to bring more interest to their blog.
In general I want to say I'm all for using current events as blog strategy. Your business blog readers pay attention to major news. Readers are interested in the news that affects them and they want to know how recent events impact their lives.
These trends are interesting for business blog posts. If there are things happening in the world that can relate to your industry it makes sense to leave comment for your readers. It's interesting and gives current context to the blog.
Another form of blogging is comparison blogging. Perhaps this week you've read something like:
What Michael Phelps Can Teach You About Being a Top CEO
Not many people can really pass up that headline. People are interested in reading about Michael Phelps and CEOs are interested to learn how Michael Phelps can help them become better at their job. If these posts are done right they can actually take something that is happening in the news and really turn it into something valuable for a targeted audience.
Current news posts and comparison posts typically generate lots of traffic right away when they are published. Comparison posts that focus on figures and people that have timeless qualities are also good for the long-term.
I've done a ton of comparison posts in the past. With Hunting Business Marketing it was a formula I had a lot of success with and because of the success I kept on writing the posts. I would write really strange posts like articles about business and Kevin Costner and business and Alan Jackson. People like reading comparison posts because it can help with understanding of specific concepts.
I think comparison posts also get into storytelling a little bit. People might not fully understand a business concept, but when it's told in the context of how a famous person did it then it becomes easier to understand.
Current events posts are also something I like to write about. I'm kind of doing it with this post right now. The Olympics are happening and people will find this post because it relates to the Olympics and people are clicking on Olympic-related links right now. But that is a fleeting thing. Comparison posts about current events are also fleeting.
It's important to have a balance with your blogging. You can compare things and you can use current events and even mix the two, but also include some posts that are more long-term focus. You don't just want traffic today. You want traffic for the long-term.

I wanted to do something a bit different with today's recipe. Instead of just taking lots of pictures for a step-by-step recipe, I decided to make a video. I've made GIFs for a few recipes (like my skinny black bean brownies), but those were pretty quick and easy to make. Making a video for this Broccoli Chicken Quinoa Casserole was an entirely new experience.
I spent half the time standing on the countertop framing the shots and adjusting the focus. I even ended up duct taping the tripod to the countertop to get the right angle. It was a mess, but a fun mess.
However, it was all worth it for this skinny quinoa casserole. It's a good one. Instead of using heavy cream to make this casserole extra-creamy, I used puréed cauliflower. It was so good that I didn't even miss the cream.
That's pretty impressive.
To make the cauliflower purée, simmer the cauliflower florets in about 6 cups of vegetable broth until tender. You may also use chicken broth or water (whatever you have in the pantry). Then, add the florets to a blender with 1 cup of cooking liquid, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic. Pulse and blend the mixture until smooth. At this point, you may freeze the cauliflower purée or use it immediately. It's great on pasta, pizza, or it can even be made into a soup.
This broccoli chicken casserole is a great weeknight meal. If you cook the quinoa while preparing the cauliflower sauce, the whole meal can be made in less than 40 minutes. If you freeze the remaining cauliflower purée, then you'll have a head start on your next cauliflower recipe!
Be sure to check out my caprese quinoa casserole and enchilada quinoa casserole for more quick and easy weeknight meals! Also, keep your eyes tuned to That Oven Feelin"s YouTube channel for more great recipes!
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 6 cups low-sodium broth (vegetable, chicken, or water)
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2-3 cups cauliflower purée (listed above)
- 1 tbsp dried Italian seasonings
- pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1½ cups quinoa, cooked
- 1 cup oaxaca or mozzarella cheese, shredded or cubed, divided
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 small head of broccoli
- 2 cups chicken, cooked and torn into pieces
- Coarsely chop the cauliflower and add the florets to a large pot. Add about 6 cups of broth to the pot, enough to cover the cauliflower florets. Bring the broth to a simmer and cook until the cauliflower is tender.
- Using a slotted spoon, add the florets to a blender along with one cup of the cooking liquid. Then, add the milk, garlic, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Pulse and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings as nessessary.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add 2 to 3 cups of the cauliflower purée to a saucepan over medium heat. Then add ½ cup of the oaxaca or mozzarella cheese, ⅓ cup parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of dried italian seasonings, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to the saucepan. Stir until the cheese has melted and reduce the heat to low.
- Chop the head of broccoli into small pieces and add to the cauliflower sauce. For broccoli that is more tender, cook the chopped broccoli in the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes. Then, add the cooked quinoa, chicken, and stir until combined. Add additional cauliflower sauce, if desired.
- Spray a baking dish with a little cooking spay, then add the quinoa mixture. Top with the remaining ½ cup of shredded oaxaca or mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the broccoli is tender. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
*Nutrition facts were calculated using 1/2 of the total cauliflower sauce. 1 serving is 1/4 of the casserole.

London: Pakistan's 75 runs win over England at Lord's has left English players in a very bad mood. It was not the defeat that hurt them though; it was Pakistan's celebrations after the match that has really hit them hard. After their victory, Pakistan team, led by veteran Younis Khan, got in a Military formation and did push-ups on the ground.
This was not the first instance of the push-ups appearing as a celebration during the match. Pakistani captain Misbah Ul Haq did 10 push-ups after he reached his 100 on the opening day. While Alastair Cook had already spoken about how he found the celebrations unpleasant, former teammate Tim Bresnan took to twitter to tell Pakistan team that it may come back to haunt them.
"That celebration was really bizarre and really offensive to us. That is not how you celebrate a victory. We know, we have won plenty of times before and we never did something similar. If you really want to celebrate a win, you go out there like gentlemen and you urinate on the pitch. That is the spirit of Cricket", said an English fast bowler who was speaking to us on the condition of anonymity.
When we asked what was so offensive about push-ups, the fast bowler said, "Firstly, these military exercises suggest that we are fighting a war, we are not. Cricket is a gentleman's game and we must not compare it to a violent war. Secondly, Lord's is sacred turf, not just for us but for the game of Cricket itself. While they were doing their exercises, they were pushing this turf down. Now you have to say that is very offensive. Just have a beer, throw some champagne around, piss on the pitch, and just be normal instead of doing these push-ups."
When we asked Misbah Ul Haq for his reaction to comments by English players, he did 10 push-ups in front of us as a response.

Look Twice
As photographers we can easily fall into a rut of always seeing and photographing our world just one way. We find something that works and repeat. There's not necessarily anything wrong with that, and done well it can be an important aspect of your style. But if you're always photographing from eye level with a 50mm lens you're missing out on alternative ways to tell visual stories.
The spring 2017 issue of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD) magazine, The Designer, features examples of my photography that show alternate views of the same garden. The story was written by Katie Elzer-Peters, a garden writer colleague I've known for several years. Continue reading

It's forecast to hit 33°C here in London today, but we still wear full leathers. Dress for the slide, not just the ride.
As tempting as shorts and t-shirt are in this heat, you just never know when you may have a spill. Mary often tells me stories of a stint she did as a nurse in A&E & theatres. Once putting a biker under a general aesthetic so they could use scrub all the grit out of his remaining skin after a coming off with no decent gear on…
It maybe hot and sweaty in gear, but I'd rather retain some skin through which I can sweat.
