Why, oh why, would I want to eat a wild plant that stings? My skin is so sensitive that I get rashes after a night on hotel sheets. Why would I voluntarily wander in the woods, plucking leaves that are famous for causing painful welts? Because, I've always wanted to test my culinary mettle with nettle. Last year I was particularly motivated because I wanted to include a nettle pesto recipe in Mastering Sauces.
Our friends, the magnificent Runnings, have several acres of wilderness and woods just half an hour away. Last year, my foraging adventure evolved into a feast and a pretty great party, so I invited myself over for a repeat performance. This year, instead of stressing about testing and logging recipes and the threat of serious allergic reaction, I was able to just have fun.
Nettles are treated as "no big deal" by locavore cooks and herbalists. The weeds have all sorts of advocates touting their nutritional value and medicinal uses. But if you're anything like me, what you've always really wondered is -how do I get such an irritating plant out of the ground and into my mouth? And when I do, what will it taste like?
Let's start with flavor. The taste is….green. Nettles simply aren't the flavor dynamo I anticipated. They don't have the bright, fresh, chlorophyll freshness of parsley, the perfume of basil, shiso, or sorrel nor the earthiness of spinach or chard. This year's crop was milder than last year's because we picked particularly young plants. Many weren't even a foot tall. Last year, the nettles had a bit more of a minty, kale essence. The neutral taste carries other flavors very well. Dishes made with nettles tend to taste of the ingredients they are mixed with, but even the most refined and elegant preparation will retain a certain hint of untamed wilderness.
What nettles lack in flavor, they make up for in body. They are substantial without being especially coarse. When the leaves are stripped off the tough stems and blanched, they puree up nicely into a smooth, thick paste that makes excellent pestos and soups. The color is brilliant – a green that would make the Great and Powerful Oz weak at the knees. This year I realized that it's that green that is the true magic of nettles. After a long, grey winter, those first sprouting leaves must have seemed like a medical miracle. Stinging hands and arms would seem trifling when faced with the prospect of another dinner of pemmican or pounded camas cakes.
I have so far remained "unstung" by donning rubber boots, long sleeves made of a thick material and rubber kitchen gloves. Use the long, goofy-looking ones made for washing dishes because they go further up your arms. My fellow pickers who wore short leather or latex food handler's gloves got a few prickles. I picked only the tenderest tips, plucking the top two or three sprigs from plants there were barely a foot tall. The leaves were Kermity green and baby spinach sized. Next year I'll add a few more mature leaves to boost the flavor. Like spinach, the leaves will cook down to nothing, so pick plenty. Many recipes call for 8 oz of whole leaves. I'd estimate that's probably about 6 cups of loosely packed leaves from 10-12 cups of sprigs and it will make roughly 1 cup of puree.
Last year I just blanched the whole sprigs. The stems were pretty tender, but they made the paste a tad coarse. This year we meticulously removed each leaf and the resulting puree was more uniform and pulpy. Batches of nettles were cooked for about 30 seconds in boiling water, then "shocked" in ice water, drained, squeezed dry, and blended smooth. I stirred almost 2 cups of fresh nettle puree into a kettle of risotto dotted with asparagus, zucchini, and green peas. I stirred in a bit of butter, scattered the top with chives, and whisked it to the table. Gwen had sautéed some big leaf maple blossoms in garlic butter. Jeff had scrubbed some fiddle head ferns of their fuzz and dropped them into warm pickling brine. (They were terribly bitter this year. Next year I will blanch them first. ) A few additional dishes rounded out the menu.
I weighed the merits of freezing some of the blanched leaves. There is a certain appeal to randomly add nettles to a menu, but in the end I decided that the true appeal is the fleeting, seasonality and the good company involved in harvesting, preparing and sharing them.
Here is the nettle pesto I decided to put in the book.
Nettle and Avocado Pesto
From Mastering Sauces: The Home Cook's Guide to New Techniques for Fresh Flavors
(W.W. Norton & Company, October 2015)
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 cloves garlic
1 cup blanched fresh nettles, squeezed dry ( about 5 cups of loosely packed small leaves)
2 tablespoons minced chives
1 avocado, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons avocado oil or light olive oil
Plenty of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
In a food processor, chop the shallot and garlic. Add the nettles and chives and pulse until evenly blended. Add the avocado, lemon zest, and juice and blend to a paste while gradually adding 2 tablespoons of avocado oil or light olive oil. Season with plenty of salt and pepper.
Place a piece of plastic wrap or drizzle some additional oil on the surface of the pesto if not serving immediately to prevent oxidation. Serve with salmon, tossed with pasta, stirred into sautéed mushrooms, or as a dip with flat breads. The avocado will gradually darken the pesto.

Conceptual Foundations Discussion Class - Hisham Aidi
We already told you all the secrets about how to survive from one of the heaviest courses at SIPA, Conceptual Foundations (review 1). However, we did not talk about the different discussions leaders that you can choose.
There are 13 different CF sections, and four of them are taught by Hisham Aidi. He is a polarizing figure at school: either you love him or you hate him.
If you really want to learn and you are a hard-worker, choose Hisham. If you are a clever kid who has grown accustomed to regular praise in your academics, then this section will provide its own culture shock.
Do not expect Hisham to applaud your intellectual comments at the discussion or to give you a "A" on the paper that you wrote the night before. He is a hard grader. He is strict and meticulous. He will carefully correct every single incorrect word in your 10-page paper and make comments in every paragraph. Your paper will be returned to you covered in bloody ink.
That is what I expect of my professors. After all, if I invested my precious time in writing this paper, then I expect my professor to invest his time in reading it. Go to office hours, learn from your mistakes and work even harder in the second paper.
Speak your mind during discussions. Again, he won't say how brilliant your comment was, but he will see that you prepared your class. Exactly as he did. Hisham prepares his part well, and he respects the time needed to cover everything in each session: students presenting, open discussion, and then theoretical lecture. You expect him to do his part, he expects you to do yours. Do not dare to open your mouth if you did not do your homework. He won't tolerate it and he will not hesitate to embarrass you in front of the rest. Sorry, but you deserve it!
From my experience, there are two kind of people who don't like Hisham. The first group are those who like to be praised as the clever students they are. Not here. Not in Columbia, sorry. The second group are those who do not prepare their materials and think that they will be able to fool the rest, including Hisham. Good luck!
One of my friends, who has chosen to remain anonymous, summarize it very well…

Sojourner Truth, meet the Mandels.
Local business people and philanthropists Thomas and Lisa Mandel, to be specific.
United Way of Summit County is naming its new facility in Akron's Sojourner Truth Building the Thomas and Lisa Mandel Community Center, as part of the agency's unveiling of its new headquarters.
The Mandels have given more than $400,000 to United Way over the last 10 years, the agency reported. On top of that, the Thomas and Lisa Mandel Fund of the Morton and Barbara Mandel Family Foundation recently made a $1 million contribution to United Way, the agency added.
"We are immensely grateful to the Mandels," said United Way president and CEO Jim Mullen in a statement. "So much of what we are accomplishing today, whether it's working toward our Bold Goals or growing as an organization, would be impossible without the support Thom and Lisa have given throughout the years. They have left an indelible mark on our organization, and we are proud that we will now work every day to better our community in a facility that bears their name."
The announcement was made at a patron party with United Way hosting board members and major donors at its recently opened offices at 37 N. High St. in downtown Akron.
William and Rebecca Considine also were honored at the event as chairs of the United Way's Centennial Campaign.
The newly dedicated Thomas and Lisa Mandel Community Center is home to a growing United Way. Last month, the organization merged with Info Line Inc., with 2-1-1 and Housing Services becoming programs of United Way.
As for the legacy of Sojourner Truth, United Way says not to worry — the Sojourner Truth Building itself will retain its name and historic association with the abolitionist and civil rights activist who gave her famous "Ain't I a Woman" speech in Akron on May 29, 1851.
In addition to the Thomas and Lisa Mandel Community Center, the Sojourner Truth Building houses tenant spaces on the first floor. United Way, which owns the building, says it plans to rent these spaces to other nonprofit organizations to further reinvigorate downtown Akron's arts district, the agency reports.
"Lisa and I are longtime believers in the power of the United Way to improve lives in our community, and really in every community where United Way serves," Thomas Mandel said in a statement. "We believe that the new Thomas and Lisa Mandel Community Center, here in this historic building, will be instrumental to achieving our United Way's Bold Goals by the year 2025. And we are happy and proud to be able to assist in that effort."

On Calling it Quits (And Being Okay With It)
Written by Kathleen Gredler
Women often feel like we've gone "too far."
We feel that if we don't work every shift, get an A on every paper, attend every social gathering and in all other ways keep up the facade of our perfection, we have failed. We have too many expectations, too many commitments, too many responsibilities. But the truth is, we have to make choices. Recently, I made the choice to quit my job. And not just any job—the job that taught me how to be a professional woman in the workplace. The first job to truly value my work and set it as an example for others. The job that made me a babe who hustles.
However, it was not the job.
I took a year off before starting my master's degree last August. I wanted to do "something else," although I didn't quite know what it was. I only knew I was itching to do something outside the world of academia before taking the plunge into yet another degree. I was bored. I was ready to jump at anything that would lead me to discovering what I was meant to do with these vital, precious, invaluable years of my early twenties. Instead, I moved back home with my parents and completely regressed. I spent my time re-watching Gilmore Girls, making scones, and waiting for a spark. After a few weeks, I decided I couldn't sit on the couch waiting for inspiration to come any longer. It wasn't getting me anywhere. I took my resume out to at least a dozen different places, and a local coffee shop called me back the next day. Within five minutes into my interview there, I had a job.
I was hired as a seasonal worker on a six- to eight-week trial contract, and the funniest thing happened: I was great at the job. I enjoyed the job. I tasted success, no matter how small, and I wanted more time to savor it. A little over five months into my temporary employment, I was offered a job as manager. I immediately rejected it as my mind ran in a million directions. I'm not right for the job, I don't have enough experience, I've never been in charge before, other employees know more than me, etc.They asked me to interview for it anyway, and I was offered the opportunity of managing a new location opening on the other side of town. I stood up a little straighter. I said yes.
I failed a lot in the beginning. During the first six months, I felt as if I couldn't do anything right. Up until that point, I had been lucky enough to be instinctively good at a lot of the things I tried, as though I had perpetual beginner's luck. But I wasn't good at this. Managing took work; work I was unfamiliar with. Conversations with my boss quickly developed the tone of "I thought you would've known what to do," and "I'm not mad, just disappointed."
I tried to rationalize the experience. I was working over 40 hours a week while taking a full semester of classes, and had recently started a new relationship. Soon enough, though, I found my stride. Working so much was making me feel invincible; I had never been so productive. I started to hear positive feedback, but it was terrifying to feel like if I slowed down for even a minute, I would crash. Life was accelerating and, quite honestly, I didn't want it to stop. I often wondered what would happen when I did.
One insignificant Tuesday about a year into my role, I had a meeting with my boss, who informed me that I was being moved to a different location, further away, to manage the staff there. The first words out of my mouth were, "I don't know if I can logistically make that happen." They told me to sleep on it, because it was happening no matter what. I went home that night and planned out what a week would look like in August when school started back again: a full-time class schedule, 40-plus hours per week, a minimum of 10 hours per week volunteering at a preschool, and the start of my thesis rough draft. I began to immediately feel the panic of the impending stress to come. I knew it was time to quit, but I wasn't ready. It still felt like a conversation, not a decision.
I met with my boss the next day and said I couldn't make the transition. I walked in without a solution to the problem (something I rarely do), resolute only in the decision that I wouldn't be doing what they had told me I had to do. I was prepared for her to tell me to put in my two weeks, then and there. She was angry, but, to my surprise, willing to work something out. I felt like I'd opened a can of worms; that as soon as I had entertained the idea of leaving the job, there was no way I could go back. And that was exactly what happened. I slept on it again, but the next day, I pressed "send" on the formal email declaring my two weeks' notice.
The truth of the matter is, I didn't set out to manage a coffee shop. That was never an aspiration of mine. While it was a beautiful opportunity I was afforded and dedicated myself fully to, it was always just an auxiliary position. It taught me you can be great at something and still know it's not going to last forever. You may disappoint people along the way, but you have to make choices for you. Even though I was upfront from the day one that I would eventually leave the company, it didn't make saying goodbye any easier. It just meant that saying "no" was a longer process.
This was my first experience quitting a job, so there are only a few pieces of advice I can give. First, never disparage, trash talk, or reveal company secrets in your departure; these will only do you a disservice in the future. Remember that every employer is prepared for you to leave at some point. If you make the decision, see it through. Go to your supervisor ready to rip off the Band-Aid, and accept the consequences - whatever they may be. Third, remember that your business is just that: yours. I didn't know this when I set out on my journey to quit, and I felt like everyone who asked deserved an explanation as to why. But the fact of the matter is, I didn't owe anyone an explanation—not even my boss. You do not need to make excuses or apologies. Your life is yours to live as your choose. At the end of the day, work is just work.
Whether you've just landed your dream job, are working for a Fortune 500 company, or work part-time in a beach town serving ice cream on the weekends, it's okay to call it quits. It's part of work. Sometimes jobs are there to help you pay the bills, and sometimes they're where we find our purpose. Regardless of when or why you decide to leave your job, though, remember this: saying "no" and pressing "send" just might create space for something better.

NEW YORK — A private forecast of economic activity over the next six months edged up less than expected in October, signaling slow, bumpy growth next year.
The Conference Board said Thursday that its index of leading economic indicators rose 0.3 percent last month. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had expected an 0.5 percent gain.
The index climbed 1 percent in September.
"We can expect slow growth through the first half of 2010," Ken Goldstein, economist at the Conference Board, said in a statement. "The pace of growth, however, will depend critically on how much demand picks up, and how soon."
The indicators have risen for seven straight months. The Conference Board said last month that the 5.7 growth rate in the six months through September was the strongest since 1983. That ticked down to 5 percent growth in the six months through October.
The Conference Board forecasts economic activity by aggregating data on current jobless aid claims, stock prices, consumer expectations, building permits for private homes and the money supply, among others.
If consumers are uneasy, they are likely to curtail their spending, which powers about 70 percent of the U.S. economy.
Building permits, a gauge of future construction, also was a negative factor in the October index. Worries over the expiration of a federal tax credit for homebuyers restrained building last month.
The companion "coincident" index, which measures the current state of the U.S. business cycle, was unchanged in October from September. That measure has been essentially flat since June, according to Conference Board.

On the 'Isleworth Mona Lisa' - Kemp speaks
October 1 2012
Picture: TAN
If you haven't already seen it, Leonardo scholar Professor Martin Kemp has written a much-needed take down on the 'Iselworth Mona Lisa'. Money quote:
The book claims that none of the evidence of scientific examination indicates that the Isleworth picture is not by Leonardo. Nor does it show that it is not by Raphael. Even this ineffectual claim, with its double negative, is not justified. The infrared reflectogram and X-ray published on p. 253 do not reveal any of the characteristics of Leonardo's preparatory methods. Leonardo, as the infrared images of the Louvre painting show, was an inveterate fiddler with his compositions even once he had begin to work on the primed surfaces of his panels. The images of the Isleworth canvas have the dull monotony that would be expected of a copy.
He also highlights the growing over-use of 'technical evidence', and how it alone seems to carry an unimpeachably convicing aura:
I see lots of dossiers of "scientific evidence" attached to purported Leonardos. It often seems enough to have the texts with the data, diagrams and images to "prove" the authenticity, whether or not the they actually tell us anything that actively supports Leonardo's authorship.
Sadly, none of this will feature in the press. The story has had its splash, the media caravan has moved on, and the public will remain as confused as ever.

Goodbye, Bosley
Ever since we expanded the fence line again we've had daily troubles keeping the dogs in our yard. Today was no exception. After they got out the first time, they came right back. Then they got out again and I went down there, found the spot and fixed it... along with a few more spots I thought they might try. Eventually Charlie came back. Usually Charlie gets home first since he's younger and taller. Then there was a knock at the door. "Do you own a brown beagle that wears this red collar? He just got hit by a car up by the stop sign" aka, Noah's bus stop. We walk to it every weekday and people go over 55mph down that road. I knew then, honestly. But, I didn't really believe it.
Josh had just gotten home not even 10 minutes before this. He was still in uniform when he drove up to check it out. I had to hold down the fort with the kids. I ran up the driveway to see anyway... a cop car, 3 cars, people standing around. No one was hurrying. I saw a mound of brown and white fur just laying there by everyones' feet. I knew again, but I still didn't believe it. Then the van came back down the hill and Josh lost it when he got out. I can believe it now. Bosley is gone.
We got him out of the van and set him down for everyone to see if they wanted. Charlie had to otherwise he'd never stop looking for Bosley. He was still soft and warm. There wasn't any blood. His boys all pet him. His buddy sniffed him all over and whined a bit. We all hugged and cried. We're still crying.
Josh and I wrapped him up and put him in the shed overnight so we can bury him tomorrow. I have a major problem accepting death. I feel like I need to rush outside and make sure he didn't suddenly come back to life. I'm not going to lie... before i go to bed I'm going to check on my dog and make sure one more time that he's actually dead. Maybe twice.
We only had Bosley for 5 years, but it seemed like much longer. He flew to Spain with us. He lived in three different places with us. Have we really lived in 3 different places in just 5 years? I was finally getting back into taking them on walks and jogs, which probably would have curbed his desire to run away all the time. I have a lot of guilt right now. Regardless... ok... well... I'm done now. He was a great dog. Amazing with kids. We all loved his quirks and his "never get enough love" attitude. We're going to miss him a lot. He was out roaming happy and free. He died quickly. He was on his way home to eat scraps of granola and spaghetti off the floor and sleep on his bed by the fireplace. RIP, Bos. Here are some of the pictures we've taken over the years.

Premier League rivals Manchester City and Liverpool will go head-to-head for a place in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The English duo were the last pair out in Friday's quarter-final draw in Nyon, which also saw holders Real Madrid given a tie against Juventus, last season's beaten finalists who knocked out Tottenham.
Anfield will host the first leg of the quarter-final tie, which will be played on April 4 with the second leg to be held on April 10 at the Etihad Stadium.
The two English clubs have already played each other twice in the Premier League this season.
Here's a look at the Daily Mirror match reports from both...
Manchester City 5-0 Liverpool
In the opening meeting of the campaign between the two, Manchester City ran out convincing victors at the Etihad.
Helped by a first-half Sadio Mane red card, Pep Guardiola's men took full advantage of their extra man, with Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus (2) and Leroy Sane (2), doing the damage.
Here's what our man Andy Dunn made of it all, taking aim at Jurgen Klopp's disappearing act...
It was not only Sadio Mane who disappeared, it was Jurgen Klopp.
King of the touchline histrionics, he retreated to his bucket seat, hiding any culpability behind the dastardly Jon Moss.
This hiding was Jon's fault, apparently.
Klopp popped out to field the occasional stray pass, usually from one of his own, during a second half landslide but that was about it.
He was beaten a long time before Leroy Sane ignored Liverpool's white flag and administered two flamboyant lashes of the whip.
Through the fierce intelligence of Kevin de Bruyne, the under-appreciated brilliance of Sergio Aguero, the single-mindedness of Gabriel Jesus and the flashy flourish from Sane, Manchester City were good.
Just as Liverpool were good against Arsenal a fortnight ago.
But just as Arsene Wenger's team capitulated, Klopp's team capitulated.
Unlike Arsenal, Liverpool disappeared only when their numbers were reduced, only when Mane's honest attempt to nick ahead of Ederson turned into an audition for a Mixed Martial Arts gig.
But they still vanished.
It would be ludicrous to suggest the red card did not have a significant influence on proceedings but when an equally contentious dismissal, at a similar time, left City with ten men and a one-goal deficit against Everton, they responded positively.
It was a tougher challenge for Liverpool, obviously, but they did not look remotely like tackling it.
There was a degree of sense in Klopp's insinuation that only a fool would read too much into this result.
Only a fool, though, would ignore the siren failings that sounded throughout this Liverpool performance.
Klopp's tenure has been studded by reality checks and this was another.
The reality is that through central defence and midfield, they can be alarmingly vulnerable.
De Bruyne's pass for Aguero's opener might have been a touch dreamy but it was into inexcusable space through the middle, where Ragnar Klavan and Joel Matip laboured all day.
De Bruyne's cross for the first from Jesus might have been lovingly persuaded but it was to a team-mate left in splendid, six-yard-box isolation.
Aguero's startling unselfishness might have gifted Jesus his second but the pair were allowed to gambol clear like a couple of stags on the loose.
Ahead of that third goal, possession had been returned to City by Jordan Henderson's quite dreadful pass.
It was a snapshot of the Liverpool captain's day. Sometimes, more prosaic qualities can be made to look purposeless by the princely promptings of players such as De Bruyne and David Silva. This was one of those times.
Again, Klopp was right to underline the significance of Sane's dismissal, which came when Liverpool were slightly unfortunate to be a goal in arrears.
Yet playing with ten men is something coaches prepare for. Klopp withdrew Mo Salah at half-time, which seemed odd, unless he was conserving his energy for Champions League duty.
At least Salah's pace might have had an outside chance of levelling up the personnel numbers against a nervy Nicolas Otamendi.
Maybe Klopp could have done with a substitute to put in midfield who would at least keep the ball for spells, would at least pick out a pass, would at least be able to offer a hint of counter-creativity.
Philippe Coutinho was at home, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was making as anonymous a debut as you will not see.
(The Ox made his Arsenal debut when he came as substitute against Manchester United in the 8-2 thumping. Bit of a jinx, that lad.)
It was an odd decision, the Coutinho one, and proof Klopp does not get everything right.
He was probably right, though, when declaring, in the light of Mane's red, Liverpool should not lose too much confidence from this, should not lose confidence at being thrashed by a stellar City team.
But he would be wrong to think this was not a capitulation.
This was a reality check and Klopp probably knows it.
Liverpool 4-3 Manchester City
Liverpool handed City their only defeat of the season in the Premier League, winning 4-3 in a rip-roaring game at Anfield.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain opened the scoring in a pulsating clash, with Leroy Sane netting an equaliser just before the break.
But the Reds surged into a 4-1 lead thanks to goals from Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mo Salah, as City's defence crumbled amid pressure.
City fought back, with Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva both finding the net, as they pushed to claim an unlikely comeback.
Here's what our man, David Anderson, made of things, looking particularly at the Reds' attack...
The Fab Four may be no more since front man Philippe Coutinho left.
But the three remaining band members can still knock out one hell of a tune.
Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane were on song to prove there is most definitely life after Coutinho for Liverpool.
Liverpool have regressed in the past after losing stars such as Xabi Alonso, Javier Mascherano and Luis Suarez.
But they produced one of their finest displays of the season to hand Pep Guardiola's City their first league defeat of the season in emphatic fashion and show they can keep progressing.
A second succesive top-four finish, something they last achieved in 2009, looks well within their reach and they have jumped above Chelsea into third place, level on points with Manchester United.
Don't be fooled by the closeness of the scoreline or the fact that City almost snatched what would have been an undeserved equaliser in stoppage time in this craziest of games, Liverpool were so much better.
City, who last won here in May 2003, simply had no answer to the pace, pressing, movement and ruthless finishing of Salah, Firmino and Mane.
As brilliant as they were, it would be wrong to heap all the praise on this tremendous trio and Jurgen Klopp said in the wake of Coutinho's departure that he does not want a team of one or two heroes.
He wants a fantastic team and he had that in every position on the pitch, apart from perhaps Loris Karius who did not justify his promotion to Liverpool's new No 1 because he was at fault for Leroy Sane's strike.
Liverpool's midfield three of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gino Wijnaldum and Emre Can won the battle in the middle of the park.
The Reds were solid at the back without the injured Virgil van Dijk before they went to sleep in the final minutes, allowing City to pull two goals back and give the scoreline a flattering look.
It was a hugely-satisfying afternoon for Oxlade-Chamberlain, who made his Reds debut in the 5-0 thrashing at the Etihad in September.
He scored Liverpool's first after nine minutes when Firmino outmuscled Fabian Delph too easily to allow the former Gunner to run through a gap in City's defence and hit a right-foot strike across Ederson into the far corner.
Firmino popped up everywhere for Liverpool, leading the press with his ferocious tackling and creating chances for his team. He made one for the twisting and turning Salah, who shot just wide.
The Brazilian then headed just wide and it was all Liverpool, only for Joe Gomez to misjudge the a flighted crossfield ball and allow Leroy Sane to nip in from the left and beat Karius at his near post five minutes before the interval.
As expected from the league's two best attacks, the game became a basketball match and Nicolas Otamendi headed against the bar before Liverpool won the game with three goals in nine blistering minutes.
Oxlade-Chamberlain played in Firmino on 59 minutes and he barged John Stones out of the way to lift the ball past Ederson.
Mane then hit the post before Salah robbed Otamendo and found the Senegalese star on the left, who took one touch before drilling the ball home left-footed into the top corner.
City suffered a collective nervous breakdown at the back and when Ederson's poor clearance went straight to Salah, the Egyptian knocked it over his head into the empty goal from 40 yards out.
That should have been it, but City remembered why they are 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League as they scored twice in the final six minutes through Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan to set up a nervy finish.
They almost nicked a point when Aguero brushed the side netting with a diving header in stoppage time, but he was flagged for offside.
Liverpool deservedly hung on to record their fifth straight win over City at Anfield and the Reds fans drifted into the night singing the praises of their team.
Now, after two games and 12 goals between them this term, the pair must do it all over again.
"I've said it before and it's still the truth, it's always common in a draw that you'll get your neighbour, more or less, but to be honest I don't mind, really, said Klopp after the draw was made.
"It is exactly like it was before - we take what we've got. Now it's Manchester City, let's go.
"We've lost once and we've won once against them in the league - and I don't think they thought before the best draw they could have got is Liverpool. That's a sign for us and how strong we can be."
For the rest of us, it's a time to sit back and prepare to enjoy what is to come.

Let It Shine's final performer gets the highest mark of the opening show and sends Twitter into a frenzy
Jason Brock received a standing ovation halfway through his Whitney Houston cover
HE was the final audition of the night but Let It Shine contestant Jason Brock may have already secured his place in the final.
The 30-year-old from Woburn wowed the judges and viewers alike with his stunning rendition of Whitney Houston's Run To You.
He even received a standing ovation from the audiences and the judges halfway through the song, and they stayed on their feet until the end of his performance.
Visibly shaking from nerves and adrenaline, he couldn't stop grinning as judge Amber Riley told him: "That was beautiful. You gave it so much justice and so much passion."
And host Graham Norton told him: "I don't want to pre-empt anything, Jason, but it's looking good. Can you imagine if you didn't get through now?"
And get through he did with five stars from every judge, the highest mark of the opening show.
He also won praise from viewers who took to Twitter to applaud his audition.
One wrote, "OMG!! Just hire Jason NOW!!! Just incredible; I'm booking seats "lots if you do," while another added: "It's a brave person that takes on a Whitney classic. But for that person to be a man?!! Incredible."
Another viewer said: "Omg! Jason must get in to the band! He was all kinds of awesome!"
And one added: "@garybarlow saved the best until last on #letitshine. Jason was amazing!! Full on goosebumps at home!!"

He think they can offer them support and encouragement and help bring out the best in the them too if they make it through the first round of auditions.

SIDEBAR: Amp Sims in Pro Tools
Three software developers currently offer amp-modeling plug-ins for Digidesign's Pro Tools TDM systems. Each has its own approach to the modeling process and provides different parameter controls, resulting in tonal characteristics unique to each. (Two of the three, Bomb Factory SansAmp PSA-1 and McDSP Chrome Tone, also run native. SansAmp PSA-1 also runs under RTAS and AudioSuite, and Chrome Tone under RTAS.)
Bomb Factory SansAmp PSA-1 (Mac/Win, $395) is a software emulation of the Tech-21 SansAmp PSA-1 and functions in much the same way. Overdrive is achieved in two separate stages: the Pre-Amp gain control simulates overdrive in the preamp stage, and the Drive knob controls power-amp distortion. In addition to Low and High tone controls, the output stage features a makeup level control.
All of the control knobs have an indent mark representing unity gain. The SansAmp PSA-1 also sports knobs marked Buzz, Punch, and Crunch, which control the amount of overdrive in the low, mid, and high frequencies respectively (see Fig. A). Different combinations of overdrive can yield a wide variety of sounds — from fat sustain to power shred (see Web Clip 1). The factory presets are useful, and the PSA-1 sounds great on other instruments as well. It uses relatively little DSP power.
Line 6 Amp Farm (Mac/Win, $595) bases its design on emulations of classic guitar amps (see Fig. B). It offers models ranging from vintage Fenders and Marshalls (see Web Clip 2) to modern Soldano and Mesa/Boogie amps. Each of the program's 13 amp heads is an accurate representation of the corresponding hardware version, complete with graphic representations of tone controls and switches specific to the selected make and model.
Amp Farm offers a range of speaker-cabinet simulations based on hardware models such as the Vox AC30 and Fender Deluxe, combined with several mic-placement options. Mixing and matching amp heads and cabinets can achieve a wide variety of tones. Whether used on input or as a mixdown effect, Amp Farm makes it easy to dial-in authentic-sounding guitar-amp tone.
McDSP Chrome Tone (Mac, $495) is a suite of plug-ins providing amp simulations and effects. The amplifier module is extremely flexible, featuring six preset levels of distortion combined with compression, gating, and EQ (see Fig. C). The distortion section has an Amount control coupled with single-band (200 Hz to 2 kHz) Frequency and Drive controls to tune the overdrive tone, followed by an output level control. The compressor offers threshold, response (attack), sustain, and release controls.
In addition to a noise gate, you get a 3-band parametric equalizer for further tone sculpting. The output stage includes a spring reverb, a level control, and four speaker simulations.
Chrome Tone's amp module is formidable as a standalone simulator, but it can also run in Stack mode with other included effects such as wah (see Web Clip 3), tremolo, tape echo, and chorus. The depth and modulation of these effects can be triggered by a range of input types (sidechain-audio input, MIDI notes, and so on), making the application very flexible and musical.
Chrome Tone currently runs only on Mac Pro Tools systems, but McDSP says that a Windows version should be available by the time you read this. In addition, a version called Chrome Tone Amp is available as a plug-in for the VS8F-3 plug-in expansion board for Roland VS recorders.

Here is the book you never wrote.
Here are the secrets you couldn't suppress.
Here is the heart of what we needed to know.
Here is the song you never composed,
the poem in its infancy, tiny bones just unbending.
It's the joy a man has, you said - with joy! -
even in a broken world.
The joy in coaxing music and grace from a thing once dead...
The joy in a simple life lived with purpose...
The joy in loving one so well and so long that love returned
staggers you.
Joy in faith.
Joy in the unknown.
Joy in beauty and truth and hope...
Even in sorrow and pain and doubt.
You, with your crooked smile - laughing at yourself, shrugging - said,
I want to write about joy,
but I don't know how.
Oh my brother, your heart...
Your heart,
Your laugh,
Your song.
Your love, your mind, your faith, your great soul...
Oh my brother, your heart...
You are the book you never wrote.

Polaroid Project Day 2: The photo I missed
I have been telling you that I really missed a great shot the day we went shooting in the rice field with the abandon tractor. I was not being sparing with my film and just ran out at the wrong time. As soon as I exposed the last image Shannon jumped in the rim of the John Deere and I knew I had made a big mistake in taking multiple shots of the empty field. I ran back to the car and got out my Canon digital camera which I had brought along as back-up. I'm so glad I at least had the forethought to bring a back-up camera. I think this is the best shot of the day and only wish I had captured it with the Polaroid. In working with the image in post, I don't know if it would have been exposed correctly on the instant film due to the time of day so maybe it's best I took it with the digital camera. By and by I'm just glad I captured the image.
Have a great weekend,
JW Purdy

In March 2018, Ford unveiled its prepare for the next two years, which includes several brand-new models and a shift toward crossovers in the United States. The larger news consists of going down most cars for SUVs, a crossbreed version of the F-150 vehicle, and a rebirth of the famous 2021 Ford Bronco. The last will certainly be signed up with by a smaller brother or sister with similar blocky signs. An infant Bronco!
2021 Ford Bronco Review
Described as an automobile "developed to win an expanding variety of individuals who enjoy getting away and spending time outdoors with their friends and families," the small SUV was partly disclosed in a teaser photo. And based upon exactly what we could see, it's aimed directly at Jeep. Especially, while the new-generation Bronco will certainly violate the all-popular Wrangler, the smaller sized crossover will certainly take on the Renegade. There's no official name for it yet, and information continue to be a mystery, but it could present for the 2021 design year.
The making is very shadowy with only a few details noticeable, but it's enough to obtain a suggestion as to just how this crossover will certainly look. Certainly, there's a huge opportunity that this is a making of a concept lorry that will sneak peek the "child Bronco," but it shouldn't look substantially different compared to the real thing.
The first thing that stands out is the blocky shape. This is rather uncommon for a contemporary car, as the majority of automakers are making their crossovers with aerodynamics and sportiness in mind. Jeep is among the very few exemptions from this guideline, with the Wrangler and Renegade looking as boxy as their ancestors.
The intro reminds me a bit of the Bronco II, a small SUV that replaced the legendary, larger Bronco in 1984. The roofing section is just as boxy, with just the muscle fenders establishing it in addition to crossovers constructed up until the late 1990s. While the rear fascia isn't really visible yet, the front end discloses a few of its hints. The fascia is likewise blocky and enforcing, regardless of the small size.
It's difficult to state just what the "baby Bronco" will certainly look like inside the cabin with the manufacturing version a minimum of a few years away. Ford could present a new design language by then and it do without claiming that it will certainly have new innovation available too.
It goes without saying, the "child Bronco" ought to have the ability to give the Renegade a run for its money. This suggests it has to offer seats for five grownups comfortably and incorporate usefulness with costs features, a minimum of in the extra costly trims. The Renegade is generally commended for being well-equipped and well-trimmed, and it's roomy too with legroom and clearance for rear-seat passengers ranked at 40.5 and 35.1 inches.
As a compact SUV, the "infant Bronco" will probably get a range of small-displacement engines. Likely to get here regarding the same time the Escape/ Kuga will be revamped and will certainly grow a little bit larger, the brand-new SUV will likely take its area just above the EcoSport. That's why I'm attracted to believe that the "child Bronco" will certainly obtain the exact same engines as the Escape.
In the United States, the latter is currently offered with a selection of 3 four-cylinder gas mills. The base model uses a 2.5-liter system that cranks out 168 horsepower and 170 pound-feet, while the mid-range 1.5-liter EcoBoost provides 180 equines and 185 pound-feet. Lastly, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost is good for an outstanding 245 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of twist. The 2.5-liter mill will certainly be stopped quickly however anticipate the other 2 four-bangers to earn it into the blocky "baby Bronco" with certain changes.
Assuming it will certainly slot in between the EcoSport and the Escape size-wise, the "infant Bronco" should likewise bridge the gap in terms of pricing. The EcoSport retails from $19,995 and the Escape from $23,940, so it's secure to claim that the new crossover will cost at the very least $20,000 in base trim. Nonetheless, such a sticker label will certainly make it extra expensive compared to its rival, the Renegade, which can be found in at $18,445.

3 Things You Need to Know About the Job Search
The BEST way to answer the question, "Why are you job hunting?" is with a variation of the following strategy:
Great Experience at my Current Employer
I've Hit a Wall in Terms of Growth and Development
I want to take my Development and Career to the Next Level (and you guys are the best way to achieve this)
A great way to set up interviews when you're in a FT job is to simply be OPEN AND UPFRONT with recruiters and hiring managers instead of pretending you're completely available and then scrambling frantically when one is set up for you!
Tell them that you'll need a little flexibility to work around your current work schedule, and (if they're reputable) they'll be happy to adjust. People often interview after 5 pm.
Many companies push new hires to sign a Non-Compete Agreement (NCA). It's a major hassle in terms of your not being able to work in your field and earn income within your targeted industry in the event that things don't work out.
So if signing a NCA costs you money and provides a major benefit to the company, it's only fair that it cost the company something too, right? Negotiate for a GUARANTEED SEVERANCE PACKAGE for the term of the NCA to tide you over during a transition. Make them seriously consider the merits of having you sign one.

For nearly a decade, Verity Healthcare has been providing high quality services to clients of different ages and social backgrounds with a range of complex and condition-led healthcare needs. Condition-led healthcare needs are health conditions that affect us which can be life-changing including congenital diseases from birth and others which are acquired through illness or injuries.
Many health conditions and illnesses can make daily living challenging both for the individual and the family around them. These healthcare conditions tend to progress at different rates for different people and can restrict individual's physical mobility and senses. However, in most cases, remaining at home, in familiar surroundings is the best option.
We're able to support individuals with wide range of complex and condition-led health needs because we have specialist carers and nurses with the knowledge and expertise to support you and your family, whatever your circumstances, to receive care at home, be well looked after and kept safe.

Our initial assessments guarantee a level of understanding of the client's needs; support clinical risk evaluation, and provide a basis for training and provision of bespoke care.
We recognise that conditions can change over time, which is why we continually reassess our clients' needs to make sure that the care they receive reflects their need.

Business of Orthopedics
Today, the British Orthopaedic Association celebrates its 100-year anniversary.
According to a press release, the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) was established in 1918 after World War I by 12 surgeons who wanted to help soldiers injured in combat. Today, the organization has more than 4,700 members.
According to the release, "British orthopedic surgeons are pioneers of ground-breaking technology. They were at the leading edge of developing hip and knee replacement procedures back in the 1960s, which are today commonplace throughout the world." In the United Kingdom, there have been more than 150,000 procedures performed.
"At the BOA we are proud to be contributing to a trauma care system that is one of the best in the world, leading many aspects of research, and an educational system for surgeons which leads the way for other countries around the world," Ananda Nanu, president of the BOA, said in the release. "All built on the determination and vision of 12 people who said we have to make a difference."

4 Reasons Why You Should Upgrade Your Car
Words by, James Daniels
Photography by, Unsplash
Many people avoid getting a new car because they don't want to take the time to research options or spend the money. While purchasing a new vehicle is a large investment and will take you time to investigate, it's well worth the effort. Driving around an old clunker may be what you prefer, but there are many reasons to reconsider this choice. Stay open-minded and receptive to learning more about what options are out there for you and why it may be a good idea to improve your set of wheels. See four reasons why you should upgrade your car, and how to go about the situation.
Your first concern should be the safety of yourself and everyone else on the road. Driving an old, worn down vehicle isn't in your best interest because it's dangerous and unsafe. There have been many advancements in safety features over the years, and there are cars out there designed to keep you in one piece as you travel on the road. Older cars don't have these upgrades and, therefore, become a safety hazard to you and those around you when in use. Consider this reason for upgrading when you're weighing your options.
Technology has altered the world in recent years, especially to the automotive industry. Vehicles are now equipped with technology features that allow you to drive faster, play your music louder and warn you when you're approaching danger. There are cars that no longer run on gasoline, and that can even drive themselves. There's no denying that the advancements have been impressive. Technology is a major reason consumers are seeking out new vehicles and forking over the money to bring them into their possession.
Many people like vehicles that allow them to travel to work safely and up to their cabin on the weekend. Invest in a trustworthy used Ford Ranger that works just as well for driving the kids around as it does for towing a caravan to your favorite holiday destination. This is the type of versatility consumers are looking for, and are willing to upgrade to, for these specific kinds of features. A car needs to function properly and be useful to people in their everyday lives. Many people choose a car because they can run errands with it and later use it as a bike rack for hitting the trails.
A car not only needs to drive well and have the right safety and technology features, but it also has to look good too. It's worth upgrading your car for the aesthetic appeal on the road. It's not impressive to drive a worn out car, especially to and from business ventures. The style of your car says a lot about you, so be mindful as you pick out the shape, size and color.
No one's forcing you to purchase a new vehicle, but it's worth weighing the benefits. It's possible you didn't realize all that's out there for consumers to consider. These are four reasons why you should upgrade your car.
Thank you for reading!

As 2017 rushes in, we stop to remember a fantastic Christmas season at Dreamscheme.
Braniel Intergenerational Christmas Dinner
On 8th December, our young people from Braniel hosted the annual Christmas dinner in Braniel Community Centre. It was a great night for young and old, with plenty of good food, good music and great craic!
Christmas Bake Sale
Our Braniel team held a successful Christmas bake sale on the 10th December. It was lovely to see many friends and local residents pop in for a box of buns and a chat. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise just over £500, which will directly support the work of Dreamscheme in the Braniel community.
Belvoir & Milltown Intergenerational Christmas Dinner
Our Milltown/Belvoir Dreamscheme team, led by Niall, hosted a seniors Christmas dinner in Belvoir Estate. Well done to all the young people who did such a brilliant job at helping out. It was great to see such a large group of senior citizens join us for this special night - and we are excited to organise more intergenerational events in 2017!
Tesco Bag Pack
On Saturday 17th December, a merry team of friends, supporters and young people joined us at Tesco Newtownbreda for a day of bag-packing, in support of our work in the community. It was such a privilege to speak to so many local shoppers about Dreamscheme, and we were really encouraged by the genuine interest and support shown by all. Many thanks to Tescos, for welcoming us into the store, and to everyone who contributed so generously to our cause.

Dessert Project – Into The Forest
This 3-days Concrete Marketplace event was great. We get to see 8 different desserts from 8 different artisans. Each of these chefs has mastered a unique skill in making desserts.
Before we get to experience all 8 desserts, we get to look around on the bazaar. Every tenant shown off their delicious creation, all of it looked very intriguing. If you look at it, you might want to try it yourself.
As we dive into the theme, Into The Forest, all guests were served with varies of dessert that makes the guests feel like they are eating an edible garden of Eden. The 8 artisans are from Rue de Choux, Bata, Jacob's Pattisiere, Cuvee dining, The Golden Spatula, IRIS, and CHARINS. For the rest of the evening, we were also served a cup of peach tea by Tea & Co.
Not only the ones in our plates that are edible, but also the decoration. The "soil" on our table is actually an edible dark chocolate. The decorators skill to create a forest-y atmosphere worked really well. All the guests had good conversations and laughs among them.
All in all, 'twas a great event. All the dessert successfully blown the guests away.

ink coverage
Also found in: Dictionary.
ink coverageThe amount of ink used by a laser-class or inkjet printer depends on the type of document printed. A vendor's estimate of ink cost is typically based on a business document with a rather low 3 to 5% coverage. If you print full pages, the estimates are not going to be accurate. As you can see from the sample pages below, the costs can vary greatly.
|Ink Coverage Percentages
|Although the cost-per-page estimates for these Tektronix printers are in 1999 U.S. dollars, the comparisons are still valid. The more graphics and color, the higher the cost. The Phaser 840, a solid ink printer, was the least costly. The 740 and 780 were laser printers. Tektronix color printers were later acquired by Xerox. (Image courtesy of Tektronix, Inc.)

text: Have you read a number of the food labels from your local supermarket at present? The following green food products are all chlorophyll rich. Micro-flora are destroyed by antibiotics, alcohol, stress, drug intake and high fat diets so its a good idea to take them as health food supplements. Enzymes: Essential to nearly all or bio-chemical processes, enzymes are also easily depleted by deficient diets and must be thought of as an everyday health food supplement.\n\nWhile a healthy diet and exercise should hold your blood stress healthy, remember to verify your blood stress no less than annually and take blood stress medicines as your doctor recommends. People who are sleep deprived are inclined to have larger levels of stress, larger blood stress, larger blood sugar and poor metabolism.\n\nThese compounds may help hold your eyes, bones, and immune system healthy. Cacao is high in essential minerals that most people do not get in their food plan. Try to devour no less than three to four servings day by day of a wide range of superfoods (even more is healthier) for optimal health.\n\nYogurt is an efficient source of calcium, protein, and accommodates probiotics which might be great for the digestive tract, and might decrease yeast infections. But are all forms of yogurt healthy? Plenty of yogurt is a sugar entice that comes from artificial sweeteners like aspartame, Splenda, and high fructose corn syrup, as well as from processed fruit and sugary granola bits.\n\n- Duck and goose have a much larger fat content than rooster and turkey meat. – Avoid organ meats on your healthy eating food program because of the high cholesterol content. You have to embody fish or seafood in your healthy eating food food plan no less than twice per week.\n\nPolyunsaturated fats lower LDL and whole cholesterol, too. Those healthy omega 3 fatty acids that you just're at all times hearing about are polyunsaturated fats. Salmon, fish oil, and corn, soy, safflower and sunflower oils are high in polyunsaturated fats. These are delicious, healthy, high-calorie foods for weight acquire!\n\nCoffee, they mentioned, causes high blood pressure, but now they're finding every kind of benefits from coffee.

Wild pigs increasing damage to Fresno county agriculture
Fresno County farmers and ranchers are accustomed to dealing with tiny insects and plant diseases. But their latest pest is a big one, weighing in at more than 100 pounds. And it has a voracious appetite.
Wild pigs are ranging over more of Fresno County and causing more damage.
"It used to be just rangeland that they would root up or livestock ponds that they would wallow in and destroy," said Fred Rinder, Fresno County Department of Agriculture's wildlife and weed management supervisor. "But not any more."
These days, the pigs are venturing from the foothills in eastern and western Fresno County to devour oranges, almonds, grapes and vegetables on Valley farms.
Their rooting can destroy berms and rip through irrigation lines. While many of the pigs average about 100 pounds, some have grown much larger.

I am so inspired by this TED clip. Robinson's idea is that education and the arts in society perform a vital function in facilitating creativity, and that we should use divergent thinking to restructure education, so that people have better tools to reconstruct their world as it changes ever faster.
It has always made sense to me that that creativity and the arts are key to a healthy society. So often, my current work is about enabling others, currently gay men, singers and their audiences, to grow into themselves, to be more alive, present and creative, through music. They connect with others, they grow into greater self-expression, they become more productive and passionate about what they do and they change the world in the process.
As a jazz educator in the UK for 15 years, I worked with piano teachers and classical pianists, helping them to unpick their linear habits, encouraging them to become aware of their own musical choices and of the process of choosing.
I find in both areas the same deep need in people to find new paths, to be more creative, to find fresh solutions to living life that make them more passionate about what they do because they own it more. That need is not being met by the formal education systems in the UK or the US.
In a world that is changing so fast, only a full transformation of the education system focused on creativity, personalised learning, lifelong learning and collaboration will serve our current crop of 'students', from 8 to 80.
So few of the ways I was taught to learn in school and at university are still of use now. Likewise, I use so little of the knowledge I gained. And the values that I inherited around class, around sexuality, around the arts, around education, no linger seem relevant now. However valid they were at the time, they are now too much about linearity, too 'industrial' in their approach, and too much around standardisation, tribalism and conformity to be useful in a world that is changing so fast. As Robinson says, we actively discourage creative thinking in education.
By contrast, the methodologies that I learnt as a jazz musician - to improvise, to collaborate, to think afresh around given frameworks in the moment, to come up with new solutions, to take risks, to be wrong sometimes, to learn when I am ready, to become super-aware of my own learning processes - all of these methodologies are the means by which all of us will remake the world.

At Citizens Church, Alpha is a place where you can come to ask questions about life, faith and God in a open and informal environment.
What to Expect
There are three things that you can expect at every Alpha course:
First, there's food! At every Alpha course you can expect a delicious meal.
Next, there's a talk. We'll play a 20-30 minute video that discusses big issues of faith and unpacks the basics of Christianity.
Then, we have a discussion. This is a chance to share your thoughts and ideas in an honest, open and friendly environment! There's no obligation to say anything and there's nothing you can't say (seriously).
All of this happens every week over 9 weeks with a Weekend Away near the end of the experience. At any point, if you think Alpha isn't for you, that's not a problem. There's no pressure, no follow up and no charge.

Halloween Makeup for Grown-Ups
So, "The Early Show" invited makeup expert Chantel Miller, a senior artist at M.A.C. Cosmetics, to show some fantasy facepainting looks that grownups can wear for Halloween.
Miller presented three looks that are costumes by themselves: The Exotic Zebra, the dramatic Flutterfly, and the She/He Demon.
However, you can add costume touches to each makeup look. Miller suggested wearing punk-inspired black items for the Exotic Zebra look. For the Flutterfly face. she recommended keeping your look simple and chic. And finally for the She/He-Demon, she said you can really dress the part, perhaps in a suit with a cane.
Each look seen on "The Early Show" takes approximately two hours to create. For details on how to get each look, click on the look you want to achieve below.
The Exotic Zebra
She/He Demon
You can visit the M.A.C. Facebook page to look at all the M.A.C. Halloween looks. To get your makeup done at a local M.A.C location, call ahead for an appointment.
