World Court to hear Kenya-Somalia maritime case
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Feb. 2 ruled that it has the authority to adjudicate a dispute over a stretch of water in the Indian Ocean that is potentially laden with oil and gas. Somalia asked (PDF) the ICJ to rule on the dispute in 2014 after negotiations with Kenya broke down over the 100,000-square mile stretch. The ICJ rejected Kenya's claim that a 2009 agreement (PDF) between the two countries to settle the dispute through negotiations deprives the court of jurisdiction in the matter. Kenya's attorney general, Githu Muigai, stated: "Kenya maintains the view that litigation can resolve only one aspect of a wide range of complex issues the parties must agree upon." This decision allows the case to proceed, with no date set as of yet for the trial to begin.
Obama's final year: a CounterVortex scorecard
Our last annotated assessment of Barack Obama's moves in dismantling, continuing and escalating (he has done all three) the oppressive apparatus of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) must inevitably be viewed in light of the current countdown to the death of democracy and the imminent despotism of Donald Trump. The fact that the transition is happening at all is a final contradiction of Obama's legacy. He is fully cooperating in it, even as his own intelligence agencies document how the election was tainted. Following official findings that Russia meddled in the elections, the White House has slapped new sanctions on Russia—deporting 35 Russian officials suspected of being intelligence operatives and shutting down two Russian facilities in New York and Maryland, both suspected of being used for intelligence-related purposes. The latest bizarre revelation—that Russian intelligence can blackmail Trump with information about his "perverted sexual acts" involving prostitutes at a Moscow hotel—broke just hours before Obama delivered his Farewell Address in Chicago. The speech was surreally optimistic in light of the actual situation in the country, and contained only a few veiled swipes at Trump. The best of them was this: "If every economic issue is framed as a struggle between a hardworking white middle class and undeserving minorities, then workers of all shades will be left fighting for scraps while the wealthy withdraw further into their private enclaves."
A 'New Oil Order'?
Michael T. Klare has a piece on TruthDig about last month's OPEC meeting in Doha, Qatar, where high expectations of a boost to chronically depressed prices were dashed: "In anticipation of such a deal, oil prices had begun to creep inexorably upward, from $30 per barrel in mid-January to $43 on the eve of the gathering. But far from restoring the old oil order, the meeting ended in discord, driving prices down again and revealing deep cracks in the ranks of global energy producers." Klare acknowledges the geopolitical factor in keeping prices down: "Most analysts have since suggested that the Saudi royals simply considered punishing Iran more important than lowering oil prices. No matter the cost to them, in other words, they could not bring themselves to help Iran pursue its geopolitical objectives, including giving yet more support to Shiite forces in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon." But he sees market forces and the advent of post-petrol technologies as more fundamental...
UN commission: Falkland Islands in Argentine waters
The UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) ruled on March 28 that Argentina's maritime territory includes the area surrounding the Falkland Islands. Argentina had previously submitted to the commission a report fixing the territory at 350 [nautical] miles from its coast instead of 200. The commission made clear that it was not in a position to consider and qualify parts of the submission that are subject to dispute. The commission's findings expand the maritime territory of Argentina by 35%. Susana Malcorra, Argentina's foreign minister, maintained that the findings reaffirm the country's sovereignty rights over the resources of its continental shelf. The findings have been dismissed by the UK as recommendations that are not legally binding.
Canada high court to hear prior consultation case
The Supreme Court of Canada announced March 10 will review two decisions of the National Energy Board related to aboriginal consultation. One case challenges a board decision to allow seismic testing in the waters off the east coast of Baffin Island, which is opposed by the Inuit village of Clyde River, Nunavut. The other is an appeal by the Chippewa of the Thames First Nation in southern Ontario of a ruling that approved the expansion of Enbridge corporation's Line 9 pipeline from the Alberta oil sands to a Montreal refinery. Both Clyde River and the Thames First Nation say they were not adequately consulted on the respective projects. Under Canada's Constitution, the Crown has a "duty to consult" and accommodate, wherever possible, indigenous peoples on any actions that may adversely affect their aboriginal and treaty rights. (Al Jazeera, March 20; CTV, March 10)
Retreat on Arctic drilling —push to open ANWR
This year has seen the rise and fall of Shell Oil's plan to begin offshore Arcitc drilling in Alaskan waters. Now, the Interior Department has announced the cancellation of two pending Arctic offshore lease sales that were scheduled under the current five-year offshore leasing program for 2012-2017—Chukchi Sea Lease Sale 237 and Beaufort Sea Lease Sale 242. Additionally, the Department announced denial or requests from Shell and Statoil for extensions that would have allowed for retention of their leases beyond their primary terms of 10 years. DoI stated that "the companies did not demonstrate a reasonable schedule of work for exploration and development under the leases, a regulatory requirement necessary for BSEE [Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement] to grant a suspension." But in justifying the decisions, Secretary Sally Jewell openly stated that in light of "current market conditions, it does not make sense to prepare for lease sales in the Arctic in the next year and a half." (Alaska Native News, Oct. 16) This amounts to a virtual admission that the idea here is "banking" the oil under the sea, until currently depressed prices start to rise again.
Russia launches Syria intervention
Israel's YNet reports Aug. 31 that Russian fighter pilots are expected to begin arriving in Syria in the coming days, to begin sorties against ISIS and rebel forces. The report cites diplomatic sources to the effect that "a Russian expeditionary force has already arrived in Syria and set up camp in an Assad-controlled airbase. The base is said to be in area surrounding Damascus, and will serve, for all intents and purposes, as a Russian forward operating base. In the coming weeks thousands of Russian military personnel are set to touch down in Syria, including advisors, instructors, logistics personnel, technical personnel, members of the aerial protection division, and the pilots who will operate the aircraft."
Mexico sells offshore oil blocs, but majors are shy
For the first time in nearly 80 years, Mexico opened its oil industry to foreign companies, offering 14 offshore exploration blocs in a July 15 auction. However, only two of the blocs were sold, falling short of expectations. ExxonMobil, Chevron and Total all passed on the first 14 shallow-water oil blocs in the Gulf of Mexico. A consortium of Mexico-based Sierra Oil & Gas, Texas-based Talos Energy and UK-based Premier Oil Plc won Bloc No. 2 after the first bloc didn't receive a bid, Mexico's National Hydrocarbons Commission and Energy Secretariat announced. Only nine companies took part in the auction, fewer than the 25 originally planned. A larger auction is planned for next month. The blocs are near the US-Mexico transboundary waters, and close to some of the most significant discoveries of the past 15 years on the US side. A new Hydrocarbon Law, allowing for production-sharing and profit-sharing, was instated in 2014. Over the past decade, Mexico has fallen from the world's fifth oil producer to tenth.

I'm working on a project with curved GLB roof framing, ~16' span, 5'o.c. w/ joists hung btwn them. The architect is expecting a tie rod at plate level, but I'm wondering how to calc the thrust at the base of these things. Considering how they're manufactured, it seems like there should be a lot less horizontal force at the plate than a simple statics analysis would indicate.

It's "What have you been watching?", my chance to tell you what movies and TV I've been watching recently that I haven't already reviewed and your chance to recommend things to everyone else (and me) in case I've missed them.
The usual "TMINE recommends" page features links to reviews of all the shows I've ever recommended, and there's also the Reviews A-Z, for when you want to check more or less anything I've reviewed ever. And if you want to know when any of these shows are on in your area, there's Locate TV - they'll even email you a weekly schedule.
It's the last round-up before TMINE takes its Christmas break, but as I was away for a couple of days at the start of the week and I'm about to head off to YA Christmas party, I've not yet caught up on The Bridge. Otherwise, though, I'm up to date with all the regulars, so after the jump, we can talk about the latest episodes of The Expanse, Legends, Limitless and Supergirl.
Elsewhere, I've reviewed the first episode of Syfy's The Magicians but I've also been watching a new Syfy mini-series, although I'm only up to episode two (of three), so not too many spoilers if you've seen the rest, please. Although it's based on a book I've already read, so they might not be spoilers, if you see what I mean.
Childhood's End (US: Syfy)
This adaptation of the classic Arthur C Clarke novel sees aliens come to Earth promising to turn the world into a utopia, by helping humanity to end poverty, inequality, global warming, etc, etc. To make things easier, since they don't think humans will like their true appearance, they pick on an American farmer (Mike Vogel) to be their official spokesperson, turning his life upside down. But various people, including one of the few remaining scientists Osy Ikhile and newspaper proprietor Colm Meaney, who dubs the aliens 'the overlords', think the arrivals have an ulterior motive. And maybe they do…
Although the narrative is compressed from the original decades-long story to something a bit shorter to allow the same cast and characters to appear throughout, the show is nevertheless pretty faithful to the original, mulling over what would happen to humanity if we ever did get a utopia, particularly from an extraterrestrial rather than religious source, and whether we'd even like it. The story also plays with the fear of the unknown and the different, religion, and the perils of science, which it constantly subverts, with the aliens seemingly benevolent at each twist of the story. Well aware that numerous similarly-themed, more conventional movies and TV shows have appeared since the original was written (such as V, Signs and Independence Day), the adaptation uses them to its advantage, even referencing them at points ("What do you think their weakness will be? In Signs, it was water…").
Filmed in Australia and written by Matthew Graham (Life on Mars, Doctor Who), it's replete with Aussie and British actors including Ikhile, Julian McMahon (Charmed, Fantastic Four, Nip/Tuck), Daisy Betts (The Player, The Last Resort, Persons Unknown), Don Hany (Serangoon Road), Charles Dance (everything), and various members of The Doctor Blake Mysteries cast. Knowing how everything winds up does ruin it a little for me, female roles do feel a bit 1950s and I'm finding the second episode a bit poorly paced at the moment, but it's a jolly decent and even surprisingly funny effort by Syfy (which is now committed to its new 'fewer, bigger, better' mantra) that harks back to the network's halcyon days of projects such as The Lost Room. Matthew Graham for next Doctor Who showrunner?
Shows I'm watching but not recommending
The Expanse (US: Syfy)
1x2 - The Big Empty
Same problems as the first episode, basically - big ideas but poor characters and pacing. Some nice sci-fi touches here and there, such as Jane's futuristic burglary, but some dreadful dialogue has arrived to fill in the gaps where the characterisation should have been, as has the occasional bit of stupid (spaceship crews not alert to the symptoms of hypoxia? I think not).
Where can I watch it?
Reviews: First episode
Supergirl (US: CBS; UK: Sky1)
1x8 - Hostile Takeover
Chris Vance from Transporter: The Series arrives to make the possibility of decent fight scenes not such an impossibility as before in another relatively decent episode that makes the possibility of Supergirl getting promoted to the recommended list not such an impossibility as before either. Laura Benanti, it turns out, can only act when not in the same scene as Melissa Benoist - maybe it's the costume, which is proving a bit of a hazard in fight scenes, too. And, of course, there was the big revelation, which should make the show a bit different in the New Year. But I have to ask, with all these Kryptonians flying around the place, where's Superman in all of this? Leaving Kara to fight her own battles is one thing; having her fight half a dozen Kryptonian soldiers by herself seems a little callous…
Where can I watch it?
Reviews: First episode; third episode
The recommended list
Legends (US: TNT; UK: Sky1)
2x6 - The Legend of Tamir Zakayev
Six months ago, if you'd told me that one of this year's best shows would:
- Be Legends
- Have reasonably good flashbacks to the University of Leeds in the 80s
I'd have smacked you in the face with my gauntlet. But it is. While arguably the change of Sean Bean's character from super-chameleon to an almost Callan-esque weary spy, trying to protect the innocent from the clandestine world of spy agencies that he can't control but want to control him, has made him a lot less interesting and robbed the show of a lot of its narrative drive, it is equally arguably one of the best, most realistic spy shows US TV has produced in decades (bar perhaps Rubicon), all the more surprising in that it's now set in Europe. This episode effectively gave Bean both his origin story and his memory back, though, so should enable him to be a more solid foundation for the action going forward.
Shame it's been cancelled, really.
Where can I watch it?
Reviews: 2x1-2x2
Limitless (US: CBS)
1x11 - This Is Your Brian On Drugs
A surprise, last-minute edition to this year's Limitless run, even more surprising since it had no Christmas link at all. All the same, a very welcome one. Not only does it give us the usual innovation in TV storytelling we've come to expect from Limitless, with references to Pulp Fiction and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels among the techniques used, it also gives us an almost Lower Decks/The Zeppo-style episode (Marc Blucas from Buffy even made an appearance) where we got to see the worlds of all the supporting characters and how annoying Brian Finch must be to work with. But as the episode title suggests (it's a reference to a classic US public information film), it's also quite a serious look at what NZT might do if taken by the wrong people and why perhaps it's a good idea that an amiable slacker like Finch, rather than a high-achiever with issues like most of the FBI agents, takes the pills. There's also some quite moving moments of pathos as we discover what Harper Hill's life is like, and there's some fine acting by Desmond Harrington as he shifts over to an NZT-enhanced version of himself. Generally excellent as always.

Breast Lift Needed
Thank you for your question and photos. It is true that textured implants are not expected to drop and fluff very much- they are designed to lock in place. If you want the position of your areolas to be elevated you will need a breast lift. This can be done as a secondary procedure still.
All the best

Differences before dont change much after....
I tell my patients that many of these differences will remain after breast augmentation. If one breast is bigger, it will still be bigger (if using same size implants) and if one nipple is lower it will still be lower after augmentation alone. Setting appropriate expectations before surgery is very important.
After your breast augmentation it appears that you have had a good result! If you notice the shape of your breasts, the locations of your nipples etc...it is very likely they are all the way they are because that is the way they looked before surgery. To improve your nipple position and you lower pole fullness a mastopexy may be beneficial, although without evaluating you in person it is difficult to know for sure.
Ankur Mehta MD
Breast shape
Breast shape
Volume versus shape
Often implants can help improve the VOLUME of a breast and they do also affect the shape of the breast, soon after surgery and even down the road. Often a mastopexy is used to change the SHAPE of a breast. Sometimes these procedures can be done at the same time and sometimes they are staged, meaning they are done at two different times. Good luck! MMT

Antiquated piano? Check. Deep echo? Check. Steady rain? Check. Bird song? Check. Creaky additional noises? Check? This is "殺す – destroy dreams.." by Cracow, Poland–based Mirrorgirl. In its brief running, just over a minute and a half, the track suffuses the atmosphere with a romantic sense of dread. It places movie-score elements in a movie sound-design schema, until the two become one whole thing unto themselves, a merger of equals. And if there is ever a chance that someone mistakes the piano as the "musical" element and the other material as something entirely extra-musical, then take note as the collected sounds get warped toward the end, turned back on themselves like some early Beatles tape-loop experiment in backmasking.

Recycle everything you can.Paper, Tin, Cans, Plastic
Turn down the tapsWe all have the tendency to turn the water taps at full force whenever we wash our hands or rinse the dishes. In doing so, we use 40-50% more water than needed. By turning the taps down, we can save quite a bit.
Avoid using plastic bagsPlastic bags do not decompose that easy. Encourage using cloth bags or bags made of bio-degradable material. Some shops pack the items in disposable paper bags, instead of plastic. Paper bags are decomposable unlike plastic bags, but they are not necessarily green alternative. A paper bag consumes
six times more energy to manufacture than its plastic counterpart.
Take the stairsSo your live on the 3rd floor? Save that elevator a trip up & down. Take the stairs. You can easily make it Not only saves the energy used by the elevator, walking up & down the stairs is proven to be a very good exercise! Needless to say, its good for your heart too! If going up the stairs is difficult, take the stairs on your way down. Its easier than climbing up.
Go the e-Way - Stop paper bills / statementsView & pay your bills online/ Go ahead. Stop those paper bills/statements & subscribe to e-bills. Also, skip the receipt of the ATM. See the balance on the ATM machine.
WalkIf your grocery store is nearby & you do not plan to buy a trunk-load of stuff, dont bother to rev up those car engines! Take a walk. Save that petrol.
Turn off modems, when not in useWhy does anybody need the modem ON when nobody's home? Modem continues to consumes electricity even though it is not being used. Turn it on only when needed, just like you would do with the electric stove. That will also extend life of the modem. And unlike a computer, a modem just takes few seconds to turn itself on, anyway!
Switch off the lightsTurn off the lights when you don't need them. Use natural light during day time. Why raise your bills by using tube-lights & lamps during the day? Use the free light. Raise those curtains.
CarpoolingWalk, or cycle to work and save money on gas and parking. Apart from obvious benefits to the environment and saving your money on petrol, the physical part will improve your heart health and reduce the risk of obesity. If you live a far distance from your work, investigate the option of car-pooling.
Bring a Mug to WorkSave waste at work - use a mug or glass for your drinks instead of disposable cups, and encourage your colleagues to do the same.
CamerasUse Digital cameras. Some 686 million rolls of film are processed each year and the solutions used the make the prints often contain hazardous chemical that require special treatment and disposal.
GymIf the weather's right, consider giving the treadmill a rest and taking your walking or jogging routine outdoors.
SharePass on the knowledge & awareness in your community. Make your kids aware of the environmental issues & help them act responsibly.

Damn it Tom just when I started to openly defend you again
Everyone knows Cruise is batshit crazy, but through it all I have liked the movies he makes. The Last Samurai is one of the best from that genre according to me and Collateral is the type of cool that Miami Vice was supposed to be.
So I defend him in the wake of the crazy shit he does because he isn't your dad or friend so why not let him be fucking crazy. Would you rather he be like Tom Hanks? No Id rather see him get into fights with Matt Lauer over psychiatry, jump on couches, and dance at BET events.
And I guess now taking extremely homo erotic pics, but if I drew the line at homo erotic pictures, I wouldn't be where I am today (sighs).

I prefer to not install ubuntu in windows and the boot default selection is windows.
When I boot on windows 7, i want to boot the next time on Ubuntu without .

Discussion in 'Colorado Football Message Board' started by Heywood, Jul 31, 2011.
I like this one even better:
John Mackovic. ....He beat Nebraska that one time when they were all off-cycle and de-roided and emotional, too!
First I've seen the press talk about the blatant use of 'roids at NU in awhile....
The comments at the bottom are just as funny as the article.
oh please let this be true. trainwreck validation!
NO... NEVER, not at my wife's alma mater. One family should not have to experience HIM twice in one lifetime!
now that would be some comedy!!! :lol:
New-weasel's on the list too. It's a tough decision!
When I saw the thread title I thought they were talking about Greeley and the Bears, don't know if he is qualified for that job either but to think that a BCS level team would consider him for a HC job after what he did, or failed to do, in Boulder strikes me as really funny.
Every day should be saturday isn't serious guys.
que the ****?
lol, this is akin to debating the substance of an onion article.
Wait... you mean the Onion isn't real? Crushed and confused.
I don't have much against the Heel football program. But if the b-ball program were to have been touched by this academic fraud and the media/ESPN were willing to acknowledge it, I'd be okay with them bringing Patton in to coach!
The University of North Carolina does NOT have a dumb **** AD. Hawk is a FB coach. If that exists. Poor Maiava he may have made it to the NFL. **** you **** ESPN...Im out!
I dont understand this but at least it makes slighty more sense then your post in the Norgard video thread! The booze must not have been in full effect yet.
It wouldn't be much of a change in UNC's football fortunes, anyway. This is a school that's had guys like Carl Torbush and John Bunting as HC's recently. A few years ago UNC decided that they could suddenly be good at football and poured tons of money into renovating/expanding Kenan Stadium even though it was hardly in disrepair (last renovation '98) and they don't even come close to filling it up (60k capacity - they're lucky to get 50k in there) and subsequently hiring Butch Davis (that turned out well). Going to be a pathetic "opening" of the new-look stadium on 9/3 against JMU. Given the disarray the program is now in, they'll be lucky to even sell out game 1.
Thats exactly what I was thinking. You would think the guys in Greeley would have been paying attention to what was going SW of there. Another BCS program is unthinkable. Maybe if Naropa fielded a football team.
The Naropa Chakra's. Go Shock!

Oh yes, chefs are hot into the tweeting game, just like everyone else.
Would you like to learn about a restaurant's specialty for the night, or the chef's breakfast meal? You can ask, but just make sure to limit your question to 140 characters.
Diners can now seek access to a restaurant's chaotic, busy kitchen—thanks to Twitter. Restaurant chefs in superior yet inexpensive chef hats have also become as good in tweeting as they have been at chopping ingredients—and this recent trend is changing the manner that restaurants communicate with their consumers. A lot of chefs now tweet to their followers what they plan to cook for dinnertime, usually with photos that seek to encourage and attract followers to come visit the restaurant to eat.
Chefs Tweet About Anything
Chef Chris Cosentino of San Francisco's Incanto loves to use organ meats in his dishes, and has more than a hundred thousand followers. He regularly uploads photos of these ingredients—"take a look at this lovely green tripe!" Sometimes he tweets Twitter-only specials like "giving away two orders for tonight only! Douglas fir, ½ lb porcini, foie gras @ $40. You should show your twitter post!"
Just recently, he gave Incanto's regular customer Donovan Unks a heads-up on one of his specials. He sent Unks a direct tweet, which the recipient alone can see—the customer responded right away, and he automatically reserved one table for that night.
A Better Dining Experience
Unks says that this type of interaction is what drew him to come, other than his great interest in the specialty dish. "Tweeting with the restaurant's chefs in cool chef hats is what makes the dining experience a whole lot better," he says. "There are times when I simply want to peek at who's in charge of the kitchen and the food he eats. I tell the chef that I'm coming, and hope to meet him and speak with him," he added.
We, of course, remember the era when it was impossible to talk to a chef. But times have changed, and now, top industry players say it's not enough for restaurants to have creative dishes and impeccable service. Sometimes it's not even enough for the restaurant's chef to have a blog. Social media is the hot game these days, and chefs are bound to play.
Reaching Thousand of Customers For Less
"Tweeting is indeed a powerful tool. This opportunity to reach thousands, if not millions, of consumers used to cost not less than two hundred thousand dollars," according to Chef Fabio Viviani of Los Angeles' Firenze Osteria and Café Firenze. He himself has 35,000 Twitter followers, and sometimes updates his fans as much as 10 times a day with posts like his special marinara recipe, or his personal thoughts on anything. "There are even times when I get to say stuff that aren't agreeable to some people," he adds.
"Tweeting is time-consuming," Viviani claims, "but it is not expensive." It is also a great way to fill-up the dining room with last-minute table reservations, says Chef Paul Kahan of Blackbird in Chicago.

The Hummus Story
In the past decade or so, Hummus has become quite popular across the globe. In fact, it's so commonplace that most people don't think about its roots or where it originated from. So, here's the story:
Where hummus originated from remains unclear, as both the Arab and Greek cultures claim responsibility for inventing it. Due to extensive research, including the Old Testament in the Bible, it seems that this food may have originated in Ancient Egypt. A number of researchers and historical experts believe that it has roots in 13th century Egypt.
One of the reasons that both Arabs and Greeks claim ownership of Hummus is because they were major trading partners, and their food is very similar. For example, Baklava is a Greek favorite but is also very common in the Arab culture.
Regardless of where Hummus originated from, no one can deny that it makes a delicious dip and is an excellent choice for those who are concerned about their health. In fact, there are several health benefits of hummus. It contains a plethora of vitamins and minerals and is low in saturated fat. It makes a great dip for vegetables and pita or anything that needs an extra pop of flavor! Here are just some of the nutrients you'll find.
Fiber and Protein
Just two tablespoons contains 2 grams of fiber and 2 grams of protein. This combination serves to make you feel full longer, as opposed to those other high fat dips and salad dressings.
Each serving provides 6% of your daily requirement of folate; it also contains small amounts of vitamin A, B-6, riboflavin and niacin. Folate is required for producing new cells and can also help to prevent birth defects.
Along with necessary vitamins and protein, you'll find essential minerals like magnesium and phosphorous. It also contains iron, zinc, potassium and calcium. These are all necessary for keeping the body's functions running at optimal levels and provides for an overall feeling of health and vitality.
Flavor varieties
Don't think that you have to stick with eating the same flavors every day. This could quickly become boring and make you turn to other, unhealthy fatty dips. Instead, try different varieties like red pepper hummus or garlic hummus.
You can purchase this from your local grocery store, as well as health food stores. Alternatively, you can easily make your own, and experiment with different spices, herbs and flavors to create something truly unique.
Make Your Own
There are many recipes you can try, and feel free to experiment. For a simple hummus that you can use as a base, combine 1 15-oz can garbanzo beans or chickpeas (reserve the liquid), 1 tablespoon each olive oil and lemon juice, 1 clove garlic, ½ teaspoon each ground cumin and salt, and 2 drops of sesame seed oil (you can also use tahini). Blend all ingredients in a food processor, and add the reserved liquid from the beans as needed to reach desired consistency.
Hummus is an ideal food to add to your diet if you are trying to watch your weight and choose healthier options.

As the world prepared to mark "Malala Day" on Saturday to support the Pakistani teenager shot by the Taliban for promoting girls' education, security fears in her hometown meant her schoolmates could not honour her in public.
Taliban hitmen shot Malala Yousafzai on her school bus a month ago in Mingora in the Swat Valley in a cold-blooded murder attempt for the "crime" of campaigning for girls' right to go to school.
Miraculously, the 15-year-old survived and her courage has won the hearts of millions around the world, prompting the UN to declare Saturday a "global day of action" for her.
People around the globe are expected to hold vigils and demonstrations honouring Malala and calling for the 32 million girls worldwide who are denied education to be allowed to go to school.
But in Mingora, the threat of further Taliban reprisals casts a fearful shadow, and students at Malala's Khushhal Public School were forced to honour her in private.
"We held a special prayer for Malala in our school assembly and also lit candles," school principal Mariam Khalid told AFP.
"We did not organise any open event because our school and its students still face a security threat."
Despite the dangers, some children in Mingora were determined to speak out.
"Malala is a good friend of mine. She is brave and has honour and whoever attacked her did a terrible thing," Asma Khan, 12, a student in Saroosh Academy, close to Malala's school told AFP.
"After the attack on her and her injuries, we have now more courage to study and now we will fulfil her mission to spread education everywhere."
Khan's schoolmate Gul Para, 12, added: "Malala is the daughter of the nation and we are proud of her.
"She has stood by us and for our education up to now and now it is time that we should stand by her and complete her mission."

About "Gastrofun" by cearanissa
Design by cearanissa
Clever ! It just needs some better colors and the locations of each foodorgan could be a bit closer to the where human organs are ( let the hamburger overlap the hot dog more and have the top of the fries touching the bottom of the hot dog ). Let's see if I get this right : hamburger = liver, hot dog = stomach, chicken leg and pizza slice = Small intestine, and the French fries = Large intestine. Very good first submission by the way.
for reference : our guts
Thank you helo. What kind of colours should I use do you reckon? I found the colours etc quite difficult.
Nah its not a fetus its meant to be ur digestive system. I used an image of the digestive system and drew the shapes around it maybe my one isnt quite as accurate as that one.
Keep the French fries that yellow color and use some of it on the pizza for cheese. The dark brown works well for the line work -- and it should be the hamburger meat color too. The grey poupon color could be changed to the light brown found on buns. Also, Threadless is allowing designers to use 5 colors till Jan 1st 2007. So you can come up with two more colors to finish it off.
thank you very much :)

This Doctor is Uncaring!
I am currently under this doctor's care for pain related to fibromyalgia. Not only does he refuse to prescribe me the medications that have been extremely successful in minimizing my pain, but he is impossible to reach by phone. He does not respond to his secretary's pages, he is unresponsive to my needs and requests and I am disgusted by his mightier-than-thou attitude. He is a doctor, not a GOD, even though he admits he's not GOD, he acts as if he is. He is completely and totally unknowledgeable about my condition, unsympathetic to my complaints and my PAIN, and unresponsive to my attempts to contact him. I HATE him and think he's a reprehensible person. I will be seeking care from a different physician, as this one should go back to school and learn compassion, caring and the art of LISTENING to his patients.

My husband and I are going to spend 6 nights on St. Kitts in February. Thanks to advice from you all it will be a great trip!
We have 3 nights at Timothy's Beach Resort and 3 nights at Ottley's Plantation Inn on St. Kitts. We arrive on a Saturday afternoon and don't pick up our car til the next morning.
Please tell me what are the best places to go for fun music, dancing, and friendly people, where all ages fit in? (We are over 40...) Doesn't need to be fancy, we love places with some local flavor.
I have printed out all your great info from my other post. But there are some places I remember reading about somewhere else, but I'm not sure where.
So, has anybody heard of a place within an easy drive of Timothy's where they have freshly caught fish laid out on a table, and guests choose their dinner, which is cooked up for them. There is also dancing, on a beach I think, and it's either Saturday or Sunday night. Sound familiar? I think it's popular with locals.
Any other suggested places for Saturday or Sunday night are appreciated. Please let me know which places are within walking distance of Timothy's, and which places are a short drive.
For our 3 nights at Ottley's, we will have a car for the first 2 nights, but they will be weekday nights. Our package doesn't include any meals. Any suggestions for evening dinner/entertainment? In the day-time we will enjoy the pool, take a rainforest tour, and...ummm...we'll come up with something romantic to do!
Thanks everybody!

St. Kitts: Weekend dancing or music near Timothy's Beach Resort?
My husband and I are going to spend 6 nights on St. Kitts in February. Thanks to advice from you all it will be a great trip!

Best places for fun music, dancing and friendly people:
Mr. X's Shiggidy Shack. www.mrxshiggidyshack.com
The restaurant you are referring to is either Fisherman's Wharf located across the street from Ocean Terrance Inn in Basseterre or Sprat Net located on Old Road.
Other restaurants to try are Turtle Beach Bar & Grill www.turtlebeach1.com
Rock Lobster next to St. Christopher Club, and Stonewalls located in Basseterre.
Highly recommend Ocean Terrace Inn's famous West Indian Buffet and steel band show. Great way to spend the evening. Steel band show was awesome. The only place we could find a "true" West Indian meal!
I did a tour of Ottley's and it is very romantic!
Highly recommend a rainforest tour with Greg's Safaris. www.gregssafaris.com
Took his tour and found him very knowledgeable and personable.

We had a great day at Turtle Beach Bar and Grill. The food was good and we hung out on the beach with Wilbur, the pig, and some goats. One even licked DH's foot and woke him up! Dinner at Marshalls was also excellent. A sunset sail with snorkeling was great, too.

Thanks for the fun suggestions, skbfan and hokie90!

I can now answer my own question since we are back from the lovely friendly island of St. Kitts in the laid-back Caribbean. Despite our research and also asking at our hotel, we didn't find any live music or dancing on St. Kitts! Not unless you count Kareoke night at Mr. X's Shiggidy Shack. However we didn't try Ocean Terrace Inn, which I notice mentioned above.
So if you are looking for dancing and live music on St. Kitts, it's an iffy project!
However despite this one disappointment, we had a great trip.

If you're looking for live music definitely visit Ocean Terrace Inn on Friday night for their steel band show.
It was fantastic!

Solution: go to www.citebite.com
It's free. It works. It's great. Problem solved.
Details - My rant
So I wanted to link to Maddox's website, the part where he talks about why he keeps his website looking so, to use his words, shitty. I was writing an article about how to create a website Google will like. My point was that some popular websites--hey, like Google--have very simple interfaces. Except Maddox is much more vulgar and he explains himself, so I wanted to link to him.
Problem was, he talks about it on this really long page. I had to scroll and look for the part I wanted. I wanted to send visitors to just the part I was talking about. So, naturally, I Googled.
And I found all these results tell me that hardest way ever to link to particular part of a page. I used the search "how to link to a specific part of a page."
The results were geared toward people linking to pages on their own websites. They had to adding anchors to the html. Well, after looking at those pages about linking, and looking the Maddox's source on that page, and burning about half an hour, all I'd done was confirm that I couldn't link to a specific part of Maddox's page using those methods because Maddox hadn't put in the fancy html whatever that those methods required.
So I went page to my Google results page (i.e. Search Engine Results Page, SERP). I didn't type "how to link to a specific part of a page" again, I just went back to the results page.
Then I read a little more carefully instead of just scanning and I looked at #3 on the Google SERP and found this most excellent post. www.MakeUseOf.com. That is one fine webpage. Wow. I love people who are contributing and making the Internet a better place. Easing frustration, sharing knowledge and just generally being awesome. I want to be like that.
Anyway, I was able to quickly scan that article to learn how to link to a particular part of someone else's page on the web. Yay! I'm happy now. So I'm offering that same information here in the hopes I can save someone else half an hour of frustration.
Well, that was the excitement for the day. A problem, a solution. The Internet solved it. Everything is good.

After a few tons of best hay were taken from Brookfield yard in broad daylight, David tells Eddie he's arranging an NFU meeting to warn people. David fears the burglars may strike again.
As cars keep arriving for "Deck The Hall", Nigel and Elizabeth are in a festive mood. The carriage rides are a success, unlike Joe's cart-rides in the village. He and Bartleby only have two takers all day.
Eddie's done sterling work on the car-park and is rewarded with free ice-skating. When Clarrie arrives, Eddie persuades her to join him on the rink. After initial nerves, Clarrie thoroughly enjoys herself and Elizabeth and Nigel grab ten minutes to join them. It's all very romantic.
Back home, Joe laments on his miserable day, while Clarrie enthuses over the fun she had skating. Joe's already busy planning his next money-making venture - selling Kissing Boughs and mistletoe. As they walk down the slippery path, Clarrie takes a tumble. Fortunately, Kathy's there to whisk her to hospital but the diagnosis is grim. Clarrie's broken her wrist and will be in plaster for six weeks. How's she going to manage? There's Christmas shopping, the dinner to cook, the house to clean - and the turkeys to pluck!

|city life
It sure seemed strange when boosters of Davis Square proclaimed the five-block-square patch of stores and coffee shops the "Paris of the '90s." But such presumptuousness may be encoded in the neighborhood's historical genes. For the evidence, just stroll on over to Seven Hills Park, a stretch of grass, trees, and public sculpture behind the Holland Avenue entrance to the Davis T stop. The park is studded with seven tall pillars, each of which bears a plaque on the bottom and an elevated piece of statuary on the top. They form the external manifestation of Somerville's Rome complex, as the plaque on the Walnut Hill pillar makes abundantly clear: "Like Rome, Somerville was established among seven hills. These hills were once regarded as the city's most precious feature. . . . "
Best reminder of local hubris
The dissonances here are many. First, it doesn't swell the heart with patriotic pride to learn, upon further reading, that several of the original hills have been trucked off as landfill (Cobble, Ploughed, and a good chunk of Prospect), or that Winter Hill's once-famous apple orchards were clear-cut in the 1840s to modernize an area now notable mainly for gangsters and savings banks. And then there's the laconic, Edward Gorey-like eeriness of the passage on the monument for Ploughed Hill: "The Ursulines of the Mount Benedict community chose the site for a convent, teaching young Catholic and Protestant women. . . . The convent was burned down by an angry anti-Catholic mob in 1834."
But for sheer weirdness, it's hard to beat the floating sculpture. The monument for Spring Hill -- with a giant, solemn, swollen-uddered Holstein cow -- is actually rather awe-inspiring. And then there's the enormous, grinning, shimmery, blue-green, skyborne, man-size alewife commemorating Clarendon Hill. Do not behold this fish while under the influence of any perception-expanding substances, for you may never recover. The statues may be the perfect example of why comparisons between Somerville and Rome are both apt and completely ludicrous: in their own strange way, the floating fish and cow are not unlike Delphic oracles or prophetic temple idols. But only in America would we present works of such sublime silliness as straight-faced monuments to our Puritan past.
Seven Hills Park is behind the Holland Street T entrance in Davis Square, Somerville.

Did someone just say "Industrial Policy?" - 3 February 2017
As written by Stan Sorscher
Let's take a breath and step back from our circus-like introduction to the Trump era.
A few weeks ago, we were trying to decode voters' messages in the US and UK. Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and millions of voters said we have lost trust in the way we've managed globalization. Brexit and the US presidential campaigns broke the spell we had been under during 20 years of neoliberal free trade orthodoxy. Even before the election, growing public opposition had worn away support for TPP, the 12-country trade deal. TPP failed because our free trade approach to globalization is exhausted.
Decades of neoliberal market fundamentalism had conditioned us to accept millions of lost jobs, reduced bargaining power for workers, deindustrialization, stagnant wages, and unchecked climate change.
We are ready for a new approach that would balance trade and share the gains from globalization. Labor, environment, and other civil society groups have specific goals - deal with inequality, climate change, access to medicine, food security, internet freedom, and other non-economic issues at home and abroad.

Restoring Trust After Our "Free Trade" Charade Ends - 10 January 2017
As written by Stan Sorscher
The 2016 elections threw a bucket of cold water into the face of free-trade orthodoxy. It's no surprise that voters in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere are deeply discouraged by decades of failed promises of boon from establishment leaders. The real surprise is, what took us so long?
We need a new approach to globalization that does as much for workers and the environment as it does for global investors.
Everyone I know wants trade and globalization. However, we have managed globalization badly.
Our failed "neoliberal" approach has been to manage globalization through trade deals, written by and for the interests of global companies. The neoliberal vision is a fully integrated global economy, where national identities are blurred, shareholder interests have top priority, public interests are devalued, and gains go almost entirely to investors.
Nothing in trade theory or history says global economic integration is a good idea.
In this neoliberal vision, markets will solve all our problems, government is bad, and power and influence should favor those who already have plenty of both.
A growing number of economists and policy-makers recognize that neoliberalism is exhausted, politically unstable, and increasingly reckless.

"Washington state is the most trade dependent" - 23 December 2016
While listening to the news the other day, I was surprised to hear that the BBC was then going to speak with the mayor of Seattle. As I turned up the volume and listened intently, Mayor Murray explained how the city (and the state) function with a base of immigrants and emphasized their importance. "Washington state," he points out "is the most trade dependent state in the union...we have the second largest wine industry in America; we are a big exporter of apples and cherry's and wheat...and other agricultural businesses..."
Another reminder to all of us in Washington as to the importance of exporting.

Restoring trust in our trade policy - 26 October 2016
As written by Stan Sorscher
Port of Seattle image by Don Wilson
I'm in favor of trade. I don't know anyone opposed to trade. A better question is, "How should we manage globalization?"
We've lost trust in our approach to globalization. The Brexit vote in Europe was a vote of no confidence. Millions of voters in our presidential campaigns send a similar message. Globalization is not working for us.
We should rethink our approach to globalization if we hope to restore trust.

Results: Conservatives (6) for. LABOUR, UKIP and Lincolnshire Independents (4) against. Steve Palmer, Phil Dilks, Anne Reynolds, Jane Smith voted against. Nigel Pepper, Ron Oxby, Ray Wootten, Linda Wootten, voted yes. Ray Phillips was subbed by Martin Trollope-Bellew and he voted yes. Chris Brewis also voted yes, he is part of the coalition and chair of the committee. He is also chair of the Sutton Bridge volunteers who have a bid in to run as a Tier 3 library. This vested interest was discussed at the meeting but Brewis did not stand down as chair.
Bob Harrison: "A very disappointing council meeting this morning but only as I have come to expect. At least the strength of feeling against the council's proposals was aired but it was fairly obvious that the vote was a forgone conclusion. The most annoying parts for me were that the Chair of the scrutiny committee had refused to broadcast the meeting online. It was established he had an interest in a community run library bid but refused to give up his position as chair. The chair refused to allow a break in the meeting and consequently it continued for 3hrs 35mins. At least two committee members still had a number of questions they wished to ask. A Cllr Pepper (Conservative) after speaking, suddenly proposed a motion that the council's preferred option be accepted, the members found they were required to vote and the motion was passed. So the meeting suddenly ended. Little respect for the many members of the public who felt it important enough to attend and were willing to continue. Little respect for the councillors who still had questions. Scrutiny? In short, once again democracy at its worst."
Pauline Palmer (who has submitted an alternative plan to the council that keeps libraries open and staff employed): "The Conservatives hardly said a thing and what they did say was nothing to do with scrutiny! Stephen Palmer and Phil Dilks still had plenty of questions to ask but because Nigel Pepper (Con) got the nod to make a proposal to accept it was forced through regardless. Every single person that spoke for three minutes at beginning did not want this to go ahead. Everyone who actually bothered to ask 'scrutinising' questions was clearly against but the Cons clearly wanted it and knew what they were expected to vote as can be seen from the result. Scrutiny- it was an absolute farce!"
Cllr Sarah Dodds: "So disappointed with how it went today. Well done to Cllr Palmer and Cllr Dilks for giving it a good go. What I hate is that even those who voted for could not think of valid reasons to do so, so just stayed silent. I was sat close enough to Cllr Trollope-Bellow to hear him chuntering and muttering loudly in compliant against Phil Dilks and Stephen Palmer every time they asked a question."
Adam Brookes: "Absolutely appalled by chair's decision not to allow meeting to be broadcast online. Justification was no precedent and that next meeting will be. Given the huge public interest that was absolutely bizarre decision."
