The International Community Action Network (ICAN) is committed to creating a world in which all people share the same rights.
We believe that social justice is the most reliable foundation for strong, healthy, and tolerant communities. Since 1993, ICAN has established 11 rights-based practice community centres in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Palestine, Jordan and Israel. These ICAN centres provides basic human rights such as legal aid, education, housing, and more to over 120,000 people each year, implementing programs that engage, educate and empower the citizens most affected by conflict, economic hardship, and instability. More than 62 alumni have trained in community organizing as part of ICAN's International MSW Fellowship. These Fellows continue to work at these centres and across the Middle East to advance social justice.

It was Australia's national day – but many Australians, waking to the news that their Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, had made Prince Philip a Knight of the Order of Australia, wondered if it was really April Fool's Day.
Last year, the Prime Minister was ridiculed for reviving Australian knighthoods and damehoods, after they were abolished in 1976. Today, his most loyal supporters questioned aloud his decision. "We're expected to go out and defend it," fumed one MP, calling it "beyond the call of duty", according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
A cabinet minister described the move as "stupid", while Adam Giles, chief minister of the Northern Territory and usually on Mr Abbott's political wavelength, lamented: "It's Australia Day, we're not a bunch of tossers."
The decision was all the more extraordinary given that, barely a year after he swept the Labor Party out of office, Mr Abbott is already so unpopular that there is talk of him being ousted by his own conservative Liberal-National coalition.
Crazy things Tony Abbott's said (mainly about women)
Crazy things Tony Abbott's said (mainly about women)
1/16 1979
"I think it would be folly to expect that women will ever dominate or even approach equal representation in a large number of areas simply because their aptitudes, abilities and interests are different for physiological reasons."
2/16 March 17th, 2004
"Abortion is the easy way out. It's hardly surprising that people should choose the most convenient exit from awkward situations."
3/16 March 17th, 2004
"Why isn't the fact that 100,000 women choose to end their pregnancies regarded as a national tragedy approaching the scale, say, of Aboriginal life expectancy being 20 years less than that of the general community?"
4/16 November 9th, 2006
"I won't be rushing out to get my daughters vaccinated [for cervical cancer], maybe that's because I'm a cruel, callow, callous, heartless bastard but, look, I won't be."
5/16 February 2nd, 2010
"The climate change argument is absolute crap, however the politics are tough for us because 80 per cent of people believe climate change is a real and present danger."
6/16 February 11th, 2010
"We just can't stop people from being homeless if that's their choice."
7/16 2010
"While I think men and women are equal, they are also different and I think it's inevitable and I don't think it's a bad thing at all that we always have, say, more women doing things like physiotherapy and an enormous number of women simply doing housework."
8/16 2010
"I'd probably say I feel a bit threatened… as so many people." On homosexuality.
9/16 April 5th, 2010
"Jesus knew that there was a place for everything and it's not necessarily everyone's place to come to Australia."
10/16 2010
On indigenous Australians "There may not be a great job for them but whatever there is, they just have to do it, and if it's picking up rubbish around the community, it just has to be done."
11/16 2013
"If you want to know who to vote for, I'm the guy with the not bad looking daughters".
12/16 January 27th 2014
"I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... [their virginity] is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say."
13/16 May 2014
"I shouldn't have done it... I should've been more focused on the caller and less focused on the interviewer." After winking at a radio show presenter while taking a call from a listener.
14/16 October 2014
"I am going to shirtfront Mr Putin – you bet I am – I am going to be saying to Mr Putin Australians were murdered, they were murdered by Russian backed rebels."
15/16 November 2014
"A good economy is good for the environment…As the world's largest producer of coal, I'd like to stand up for coal." At G20 summit
16/16 May 2015
'Nope, nope, nope': Tony Abbott makes it very clear that Australia will not accept any Rohingya Muslims fleeing systematic persecution in their home country of Burma
With federal politicians preparing to return to Canberra next month after the long summer break, Mr Abbott had been expected to put the annus horribilis of 2014 behind him and squash the leadership speculation by starting 2015 in decisive fashion.
Instead, "Libs must wonder who can help a PM apparently determined to be seen as a joke", tweeted respected political journalist Laurie Oakes.
Libs must wonder who can help a PM apparently determined to be seen as a joke. #jokeknighthood— LaurieOakes (@LaurieOakes) January 25, 2015
Conservative commentators were aghast. "Is there no one in the [Mr Abbott's] office capable of uttering the simple phrase 'This is a dumb idea that is all pain and no gain'?" asked Chris Kenny, a columnist.
Mr Abbott dismissed critics, describing Prince Philip as "a great servant of Australia".
Although Australians, like many Commonwealth subjects, are enamoured with the younger royals, the Queen's husband of 62 years is less well regarded. Today there were fond recollections of the Duke's many gaffes, particularly an incident in 2002 when he asked an Aboriginal leader and businessman, William Brim: "Do you still throw spears at each other?"Reuse content

The family of Nicole Catsouras receives about $2. 37 million after photos of their daughter, who was killed in a crash in 2006, appeared on the Internet. Nicole 'Nikki" Catsouras was killed in a 2006 car crash. Photos… Five years after grisly photographs of an Orange County teen killed in a car accident began appearing online, the young woman's family has settled a lawsuit filed against the California Highway Patrol for its role in disseminating the graphic images taken at the scene.
|The lawsuit launched an unprecedented legal discussion about the Internet.

"This has been a long journey," Keith Bremer, an attorney for the Ladera Ranch family, said of the case. The family, through Bremer, declined to comment Monday.
Under terms of the settlement, the Catsouras family received about $2.

Setting up Minecraft on a refurbished laptop was the task I took on this past weekend. I thought it was going to be a simple task to get Minecraft installed on my grandson's refurbished Dell Latitude d610, but I was mistaken. The game wouldn't load because of problems with the video drivers, and although I concluded after some research on the Minecraft forums that it would be possible to get the Dell Latitude to play the game by using some tips on the forum, it probably wasn't going to result in performance that would be acceptable.
This lead me to my next task which was to do some research online and find out just what would it take in terms of a reasonable priced laptop, or notebook to get this popular game to play at an acceptable level. Refurbished laptops are good choice for tasks such as playing this popular game, since they cost less and are portable so the game can be played at a friend's house or while traveling. It's not something that a tablet computer really is meant for, and a good refurbished laptop is a smart move. If you shop with care you can find refurbished laptops that are in good physical condition, and many have never had a failure and been repaired, but are lease or rental returns, and have been fully inspected and tested to new product specifications.
I came to the conclusion that there are laptops under $600 and several laptops under $400 that would work but that I wasn't going to be successful in acquiring something that would do the job for under $300. The most important factors are RAM storage, video and CPU performance. Higher RPM Disk performance is a consideration and a 7200 RPM disk speed is desirable but not mandatory when shopping for a budget refurbished laptop that will do well with Minecraft. After doing some research I came up with a short list of refurbished laptops that will do a good job of playing Minecraft and won't cost and too much.
My choices were two Lenovo Models, the Lenovo V5470, and the Lenovo IdeaPad Z570. The Lenovo V5470 has a 15.6 " LED backlit screen and weighs in at a little over 5 lbs and has a battery life of about 6 hours. It uses a second generation Intel Core i5 processor with 3MB of cache, with CPU speed of 2.3 GHZ. The 4 GB of memory is perfect for games such as Minecraft. This model has a 5400 RPM drive which didn't meet our target for disk performance but in checking with some experts will be just fine for playing MInecraft on a refurbished notebook. Our second choice is the refurbished Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 which is also a unit with a 15.6 inch screen with weight and battery life almost identical to the refurbished Lenovo V570 discussed earlier. This model uses a dual core Intel i5 processor running at 2.4 GHZ just slightly faster than the V5470 and the performance is almost identical. The primary difference between these two Lenovo models is the physical appearance which is highlighted by the brushed aluminum lid with a gunmetal looking finish on the Z570.
Both of these two budget priced refurbished laptops will play Minecraft without problems and can be purchased for right at about $600 dollars. This popular game requires just a little more in the way of laptop performance but less than some of the more sophisticated games that would require true gamer laptop performance.

It's back-to-school time, and that means getting ready by stocking up on new clothes, school supplies (probably the only time you'll be shopping for colored pencils and glue sticks) and finding the coolest backpack. But these days, it also means picking up new tech, as schooling relies on tech more than ever. A recent study by the Consumer Technology Association says that 59% of Americans who have done or plan to do back-to-school shopping this year expect to buy technology or technology accessories. This is a 12% increase over last year, the CTA says. The group says consumers will spend about $18.5 billion on back-to-school tech products or accessories, a 6.2% increase over 2015. This is great news for consumer tech vendors, as we get to see them sell more stuff by holding sales and creating education-specific offerings.

Google Car + Uber = Walkable Houston?
After 16 months of deliberation, Houston City Council recently approved new rules that legalize the operation of taxi-like car-sharing services, like Lyft and Uber. Last night, in his talk for the Rice Design Alliance's Walk Houston civic forum, Kinder Baumgardner, President of SWA Group, discussed the impact these services could have on the future of Houston. An edited excerpt of the talk is presented below.
I like to think of Houston as a multiverse of little walkable places. In between is all this dark matter, which [could be called] the suburbs. So we go from bubble to bubble, multiverse to multiverse. On a typical day, you might start off in the suburbs and go Downtown, then walk around, and get some breakfast. Then you go to the Medical Center, get some tests done, and walk around there. You could take some transit. Maybe you go to [the future] Regent Square and buy some stuff or meet some friends. Then you go to Uptown and go back home. That's how Houston operates. Where are the [other] places people go [to walk]? Well, they go to The Woodlands Town Center. People walk there. They don't walk to there but they walk around when they get there. CityCentre — I love the name, especially given where it is — people love to walk there. It is extremely appealing. [What are walkable places with] other demographics? Airline Drive — people drive there and then they walk — is a pretty amazing place if you haven't been.
And we fabricate places to go. We talked about Sunday Streets. Lights in the Heights — that's my neighborhood, man, we love that. One night for a few hours we walk. Sometimes we put on white linen, and we walk around. There's music. And soon, if you read the Chronicle this morning, we'll be able to drive and go to an indoor park [in the Astrodome]. I think it's an interesting idea.
This is not an antique city that was built around horses and buggies. This is the city of the future. It is a growing and large city that was built around [innovations]. Uber is going to change how people walk in a city like Houston. I've been to Downtown Houston twice in the last two months, and I never go Downtown. I don't live that far from there. I go [now] because I can call an Uber, and I know when it's going to arrive. I can go [Downtown], and I can have one extra cocktail now. I don't have to drive home and worry about it. I can Uber back home. It is different than taking the bus, because in my neighborhood I don't know if it is ever going to get there. This is a different kind of thing. Sure, it's a car. But remember [in] Houston, I'm [normally] driving from bubble to bubble, to walk to walk to walk. It has changed at least my lifestyle, this simple thing.
Everybody thinks "I'll be dead and gone" by the time [the Google self-driving car] happens. But I think you are wrong. In Nevada, they have already passed a law that says these are legal to drive. Texas is exploring the same law. So you don't have to have a driver in your car anymore in the United States. The car can drive itself. I don't know what this does for us yet. It might actually make the suburbs more appealing and walking less appealing, because it is easy to get to work and I can read the newspaper the whole way. Or it might do other things. These [cars] can drive close together. Maybe that's a way to put streets on a diet, because if you're driving close together, capacity increases; you don't need as much street space. But you can also suggest that I could take this Downtown, and tell the car to drive around for an hour and come back to get me when I'm done walking, in which case maybe it adds more traffic. I don't know the answers. I think it's intriguing to think about what these types of technologies mean to the city of the future.
Of course Google and Uber are going to get together in the future, so really you will be hailing a driverless car. So I don't need a car anymore. I'm sharing it. You need less parking lot spaces. This is going to make huge changes and I think it will be a lot sooner than you think.

@dparkLocale: San Francisco Bay Area
Hi guys,
I'm trying to find a short (max 5mi) day hike in South Lake Tahoe. Any recommendations?
@earn_my_turnsLocale: New England
I was just in the area a few weeks ago and did this 1/2 day hike. Very great views, very easy hike. Only thing is that it is on the North side of the lake, about 45 minute drive from South Lake Tahoe.
@nickbLocale: Los Padres National Forest
I don't have a ton of hiking experience up around Tahoe, but there's hikes to be had into the Desolation Wilderness from near Fallen Leaf Lake (just across the highway from Camp Richardson near South Lake), and from Eagle Falls (across the highway from Emerald Cove). Depending upon how far you wanted to hike in, you could get to any number of Lakes from either trailhead.
You can also get onto the Tahoe Rim Trail from various points around South Lake… I've only done this in winter with snowshoes, but we snowshoed sections of the TRT, starting from around the Heavenly Ski Resort area.
@kiddzosoLocale: N. California
Eagle Lake is a very popular and scenic lake on the edge of Desolation Wilderness. The hike is only 2 miles total out-and-back, but you can go farther if you're interested.

Alcove Massage Experiences
Alcove whirlpool massage is the most vigorous of all of their systems. With a forceful propulsion of water and warm air, it provides a deep tissue massage that oxygenates your muscles, while stimulating your blood flow and circulatory system. The whirlpool jets have two adjustable features, direction and flow. Direction is adjusted by simply moving the nozzle to point in the desired direction. Flow is adjusted by rotating the jet nozzle.
Balne-Air system creates the delightful experience of softly floating on a cushion of soothing bubbles for a gentle, relaxing massage. Customize your experience by adjusting the system's intensity. This system propels warm air into the water through injectors located on the bottom and on the backrests of the bathtub.
The Vibro-Air massage system recreates the stimulating effect of bathing in the oxygenated water of rapids. As a gentle and soothing swirl, the Vibro-Air system maximizes wellness and relaxation. Customize the experience by adjusting the intensity.
The Vibro-Air massage system includes dozens of micro-injectors strategically located along the bottom of the bathtub contour and in the backrest.
Heated cushions soothe your back and shoulders
The experience of relaxation is brought to the next level by the Rayola option. Unwind from your daily stress with heated back support specifically designed for total relaxation. Integrated into the bathtub, the electronic control allows you to choose between two heat settings, ensuring an experience adapted to your needs. With its environmentally-friendly design, the Rayola option consumes only a fraction of energy.
Soaking Bathtub
Why choose a soaking tub? Soaking in warm water will sooth the body, boosts cardiac output, lower blood pressure and improve circulation. Water also hydrates the skin and helps your pores eliminate toxins. These tubs are not jetted, so therefore, offer the quietest relaxation option.

But this is the 90's for the third time and one of rap's most exciting new voices, ECID, is not your average newsstand heartthrob. In 2012, with the release of Werewolf Hologram, he saw his sound realized in a major scope. The album reached #20 on the College Music Journal's Top 50 Hiphop Albums of 2012 list among many other accolades. It was an album fueled by life's harsh kicks to the family jewels and a newly found passion for heat yoga which completely changed his creative DNA. ECID was shiny and new again. Embracing the chaos of his artistic evolution, 2013 is shaping up to be a busy year for Ecid. With a new studio album, Pheromone Heavy nearly finished, he is set to release a companion EP, Post Euphoria as a sneak peek of things to come. Realizing his best asset as an artist is himself, the songs are more vulnerable, yet more playful than ever. A hopeless-romantic at heart, Ecid has finally found a way to bring his true charm & unique creative quirks to the surface, making you root for him that much more. His new style is matched by sexier beats, marrying big synth lines with choppy samples. It is tailor-made for blasting out of a stolen Mazda louder than a blow horn attached to a stadium sized amplifier.

Bryants Fast Start Carries U.S. Over Argentina
Posted Aug 31 2007 2:41AM
USA 91, Argentina 76
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 30 (AP) -- A new and improved U.S. team was too good for Argentina's B team.
Kobe Bryant scored 27 points 15 in the first quarter and the United States cruised into the semifinals of the FIBA Americas tournament as the No. 1 seed by beating Argentina 91-76 Thursday night.
The Americans took control early and were never threatened in the matchup with the defending Olympic gold medalists, who also came in undefeated despite playing this qualifying tournament without the core of their team.
Carmelo Anthony added 18 points and LeBron James had 15 for the Americans, who will face Puerto Rico in one of Saturday's semifinal games. A victory there gives them a berth in the 2008 Olympics.
That seems likely for a U.S. team (8-0) that had overwhelmed its opponents before playing their toughest foe in the finale of round-robin play.
The Americans averaged 117.6 points while beating their first seven opponents by 42.7 per game, not too far from the 121.2 points and 51.5 victory margin averaged by Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and the rest of the Dream Team in the Olympics 15 years ago.
"I think the biggest compliment I saw yesterday was that this team was compared to the '92 team," Jason Kidd said Wednesday. "And if you look back at all the other Dream Teams, that's never happened. And that's the biggest compliment that (we) can take because that was the best team ever assembled. So when you start seeing that, that means that we're doing something right."
While this game was closer, it wasn't much harder. Bryant hit his first three shots to get the Americans off to a quick start, and they led by as many as 25 points in a game that was never in doubt after the opening minutes.
The anticipated game brought the most energetic crowd of the poorly attended tournament Las Vegas entertainment icon Wayne Newton had a courtside seat with a group of singing, flag-waving Argentineans sometimes drowned out by chants of "USA!, USA!"
Argentina beat the U.S. in the 2002 world championships, then did it again in the semifinals of the Athens Olympics. The Americans avenged that loss with a victory in the bronze medal game at last year's worlds.
But the Argentinians arrived in Las Vegas without some of the top players from those teams. Manu Ginobili and Fabricio Oberto, starters for the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs, opted to rest this summer along with Chicago's Andres Nocioni and Charlotte's Walter Herrmann.
That left Luis Scola, who scored 20 points, and Carlos Delfino as the mainstays of those teams who opted to play. A victory over Brazil on Saturday would guarantee their teammates could return in Beijing.
And while they had won their first seven games here, it hadn't been easy for the Argentinians. They were forced to overtime twice, including Wednesday night's victory over Brazil in which they erased a 17-point deficit, and were playing for the eighth straight day.
The Americans quickly jumped on them, as Bryant made three 3-pointers and was 6-of-8 from the field in the first quarter to help open a 28-13 lead. The U.S. lead was 49-30 at halftime, with the Americans shooting 59 percent from the field. Argentina missed 11 of 12 three-point attempts in the first 20 minutes.
The lead grew to 25 in the third quarter when Bryant raced upcourt with a loose ball, shook off a bump near midcourt by putting the ball between his legs, and made a layup while being fouled with 4:09 left in the third.

In September 2014 the MANY Graduate Residency programme supported Georgia Horgan to display her first solo show post graduation, Early Modern Administrative Machine. The exhibition presented documents of a research about the 1697 witch hunt in Renfrewshire, and how these particular witch hunts had a major influence on the establishment of the Bargarran Thread Company - an early example of a textile factory similar to Meadow Mill.
Georgia says about her work:
"The primary concern of my practice is how objects have a degree of agency or independent power in social or political assemblages. Through most of the past year, my specific area of research has been how the proliferation and mechanisation of the textile industry in Scotland encouraged outbreaks of witch hunting in the late seventeenth century.
Usually dismissed by historians as an episode of superstitious mass hysteria, in her book The Caliban and the Witch feminist Marxist theorist Silvia Federici reframes the witch hunt as a state-sponsored genocide. By stamping out pagan rural tradition, weeding out undesirables, and most importantly disciplining women's bodies in a bid to render them reproductive machines for the labour force, Federici demonstrates that witch hunting was instrumental in primitive accumulation, industrialization and the consolidation of power by the ruling class.
A particular incident in Paisley in 1697 is an uncanny model for Federici's argument. A young girl named Christian Shaw from a noble family accused over twenty people of witchcraft, seven of which were hung, the rest imprisoned indefinitely. The young girl subsequently grew up to become one of the most influential people in the textile industry in Scotland, opening a large thread mill with looms and other machinery imported from the continent."
Using the Paisley incident as a model, the exhibition at Meadow Mill was a presentation of Georgia Horgan's research into the history of the event and how it demonstrates Federici's thesis. The gallery at Meadow Mill also adds a dimension of site-specificity, as the building was formerly a jute mill.

Hello Alex, yes, I did read it, but it seems I've missed a clear mention to the possibility of run it concurrently (and the code example given, lead me to think that the repo should be stopped, because with an in-JVM - model 1 - repo, not more than one app can access the repo at the same time) with a live repository. Thanks for clearing that out for me, and sorry if I gave you the impression of being lazy (you can rest assured I'm not). Have a nice WE!

Popularising Your Business Through Brand Management
If you have started up an online business or company and are merely offering a few things for sale, then you can not think it is worth specializing in brand management for your business. You can believe that all of the time and effort you put into that could surely be better placed somewhere also. But, branding your business efficiently is one of the best means to promote yourself online and you may simply manage to provide a better brand if you are clear in your thinking. Development of a branding strategy allows you to work on the brand as you market your products.
The reasons for branding your business are several, together with the actual fact that consumers are often trying for a unique product or seller. Brand repositioning may assist them to see your merchandise as giving something unique to the customer. Instead of simply blending in with the rest of the websites providing similar items, by branding your business with clear labels, images and ideas, you may create a full new interest in your goods or services. Standing out from the crowd actually is the name of the game when you are running an online business when faced with the overwhelming amount of online competitors. Unless you may begin marketing things which are fully unique, which is very unusual, you have to do things like branding the merchandise and websites, together with social media, in order to be different from your rivals.
Not only is brand marketing a optimistic for setting your business apart, it may also assist to extend your profits. Research means that the average visitor to a website is much probable to pay over-the-odds for a well branded product, instead of one that is just unbranded. For instance, if you need to purchase a bottle of soda, are you more likely to pay for a brand like Coke or for a supermarket's own make? Whereas the sodas may essentially supply the same style and quality ingredients, clients are attracted to the brand name. The same is true for the clients coming to your site. If you can create a definite look to the site, then you can begin to charge a lot for your goods or services and customers will not be surprised or offended.
The whole management of your business could also help you while you want to market a new product. Customers that acknowledge your brand are probably to be interested in this new item, and you can generate sales from them just by having the brand. As long as you apply the branding constantly, you are likely to find that you get better results from informing customers of a new product or design. The combination of new product promotion and economical branding can also be used efficiently in advertising to support your company ahead with new and repeat business.
Strong brand marketing can be important to the very essence of your business. For example, when you are selling shares, downloadable software, or similar items when a great deal of trust from your customer is required, then you may want to get a strong brand which clearly identifies you as a trustworthy seller of goods. Lacking the strong branding, clients may be uncertain which is your website, sale point or product, and this can cause them distrusting items from you.

Iontophoresis to reduce heel spur size
Posted by
on 4/29/98 at 16:40 (000088)
Have had PF for over a year and tried all the usual:
, NSAIDS, ice, stretching,ultrasound, Birks, cortisone shots, orthotics, night splint (which started my improvement). Now I am back in physical therapy and getting iontophoresis, in which electrical energy is used to get acetic acid (vinegar!) into the spur to reduce its size. This 8-minute protocol is followed by ultrasound to disperse the acid. Have had 5 treatments, with 4 to go and have had about 50% improvement. Pain has dereased in general and I can stand and walk with less pain...although at this point, a 15 minute dog-walk still hurts
Am hoping for continued improvement; who knows???
As the physio guy told me: you've tried everything else, might as well try this! Anyway else try this method? Any good results?
Re: Iontophoresis to reduce heel spur size
on 4/30/98 at 16:19 (000093)
I just finished ionto w/ cortisone for carpal tunnel & had no luck.
so I was leary to try it on my spurs.... keep us posted!
Re: Iontophoresis to reduce heel spur size
on 4/30/98 at 17:55 (000094)
I had two treatments with high powered cortisone, but couldn't continue because the treatments caused a big flare up of my feet that lasted 3 or 4 days each time. I couldn't see any help, and saw no point in having a treatment that made me worse. I don't have the spurs, tho., just inflammation and probably tarsal tunnel.
Re: Iontophoresis to reduce heel spur size

Use this procedure a lot with good results (90%acetic acid - not vinegar it is only 70%). Also tried Hi-volt e-stim to the bottom of foot to help reduce spasms brought on by pain.

I like veggies but am more of a meat and potatoes guy. But you know women or maybe not. Anyway I smoked a pork butt for pulled pork and have Tater salad. Cole slaw and also beans and corn, which are technically starches not a vegetable. So I'm looking to pare the pulled pork with something healthy for both of us if not just for her. What do you guys and gals got?
What veggies go with pulled pork?

My favorite with any type of BBQ is greens! I love cooking collard and mustard greens together. I guess you could add kale and the others but you can go wrong with the first two. The secret...don't tell anyone..is to use the Japanese apple cider vinegar instead of regular vinegar To find the vinegar you will have to go to a "Japanese store". You will not find it anywhere else. DUDE...the best greens ever! Remember don't tell anyone... ;)

One of the earliest signs of the arrival of the Top End dry season is the official opening of Darwin's Deckchair Cinema.
But this year's season launch has grand significance for the Deckchair, marking the outdoor cinema's 10th year.
Stateline went along to the opening to find a bit more about the history of the Deckchair.
MAN: The location, the films, the fact that you can have a glass of wine and smoke a cigarette up the back, quietly.
That's all, they're all great things about the Deckchair.
WOMAN: Sitting outdoor to watch a movie is much nicer than sitting in an air-conditioned room.
It's really cold and really sterile.
DOOR PERSON: Hello, how are you?
MICHAEL COGGAN: Movie buffs, tourists, lovers of the great outdoors and their furry friends, this week made the annual pilgrimage to the opening of the Deckchair Cinema to be part of the celebration of 10 years of cinema under the stars.
There was a hint of opening night nerves as projectionists prepared for the first screening of the season.
The Deckchair Cinema was established on the shores of Darwin Harbour in 1994, following in the tradition of its Top End predecessor, the Star Cinema.
DI KOSER: It's unique because it's operated by a community organisation, the Film Society and -- I mean we have to run it as a business but it's kind of -- I don't know any other film society that runs a big thing like this.
MICHAEL COGGAN: The NT Government came to the party in 1994 and provided the Darwin Film Society with a temporary site for the cinema next to the old Darwin power station.
Di Koser was among those who spent six months building the cinema in time for its official opening on June 1.
DI KOSER: A lot of things were done for nothing, you know, people volunteered their labour or their time and so, yeah, it was pretty much a whirlwind but on opening night everything was ready -- on opening afternoon it wasn't (laughs) but by opening night it was.
Everything at the other place was homemade, home done, because we just didn't have any money to do things at any other standard than just doing it ourselves and a lot of the work was done by volunteers back then.
MICHAEL COGGAN: The Deckchair survived years of uncertainty at the old power-station site.
On a number of occasions the government gave it 6-months notice to move.
DI KOSER: There was always the threat that somebody would come along and offer the government some money to put something there, some tourist development or housing development.
So we only ever had a 2-week lease -- you know, it could be cancelled with two weeks notice.
MICHAEL COGGAN: The uncertainty ended when the Deckchair moved into new expanded premises last year with government support.
The cinema is already reaping the benefits with audience numbers up by about 20 per cent.
DI KOSER: We've now got a full-time manager and we've got, I think, about eight other staff who work on different shifts but the amount of people that we can fit has increased and our audiences numbers are much bigger now.
MICHAEL COGGAN: What's great about the Deckchair experience?
These lovely Darwin evenings.
Starlit night, yeah, beautiful, this is what Darwin's all about, hey, outside entertainment.
For me, the opening of the Deckchair is the beginning of the dry season and that's a really great feeling.
Cooler weather, beautiful evenings, it's great.
MICHAEL COGGAN: The Deckchair experience is much more than just a movie, the sights, sounds and smells creating a festive atmosphere..
The Film Society takes its community role seriously, supporting events such as the "Fist Full of Films" short film festival.
DI KOSER: We've always supported local filmmakers by providing the venue and this year we've also been able to donate some money for prizes for the "Fist Full of Films", so we're going to continue doing that.
MICHAEL COGGAN: As part of the 10th anniversary celebration the cinema will host a festival called "Reel Territory", featuring films with local content including "Darwin -- the Friendly City".
And if opening night is any indication the Deckchair is set to continue that 'friendly city' tradition.

Last week I spent too much time waiting for the storms.
Every morning when I woke up it was foggy (or froggy as Maddy says) and when I checked the ever-frustrating and rarely accurate Doppler map it told me emphatically that the rains were coming. They were coming at 9:43 a.m. and again at 1:15 p.m. with varying showers in between.
After several days of green, yellow and red speckled Doppler maps, we stared out through the windows into cloudy skies and waited. We played inside games—puzzles and coloring books and once or twice a few wet drops touched the ground. We heard the distant rumble of storms brewing, but they rarely hit. At the end of each day I found myself feeling silly for planning so much of our day around Doppler predictions when we could have been running through the sprinkler under overcast skies.
Sometimes I am over-zealous in my mommy preparedness, which can be a good thing when someone completely soils an outfit (I have extra) or when I need that additional packet of secret snacks. But sometimes, as over-zealous as I am, crazy things still happen. We run out of toilet paper or hand soap or lunch meat or I manage to burn brownies (yes, brownies!) to a complete crisp. Or even worse.
Last Wednesday I began smelling something funky in the kitchen. It was driving me crazy. Every time I opened the refrigerator door I dove in face-first like a hound dog removing item by item and throwing away anything questionable. I deep-cleaned the fridge recently, so I couldn't figure out what in the world smelled so raunchy. I checked every dairy item, I took out shelves and washed them, I threw out potatoes that were probably fine. I convinced myself something had crawled behind the fridge and died. Something like a gigantic possum with rabies. It was horrible.
Finally, later that night, with help from my hound-dog husband, I pulled out the one and only meat item in the fridge (again) and we both almost fell over. It was a packet of ribs that was well within the labeled expiration date and had looked and seemingly smelled completely fine earlier in the day when I checked it. However when I pulled it out that night it was half green and completely rancid. I immediately ran outside and hurled it into the trash can. As I opened a fresh box of baking soda and cleaned everything (again) we realized that the meat had gone bad several days earlier while said husband had thawed the fridge for a few hours to correct a frozen water line in the freezer. Duh.
How do these things happen? I am reminded once again that I am a mommy, not a Boy Scout. It's impossible for me to be prepared for every single thing, and even when I attempt to plan my day by scouting weather maps or packing perfect lunches or keeping everything in the fridge from ever spoiling, it will still happen occasionally.
At any rate, last week we learned that it's OK to plan a pool day or a park day even when the Doppler is showing inevitable rains. The Doppler might be wrong (gasp!), and even if the showers hit us in the middle of our trip, a nice summer soak in refreshing rain is good for the soul every now and then.
As for spoiled, stinky meat in the fridge, I learned that if you suspect the meat is stinky, if nothing else in the fridge looks stinky, and even if you have put the meat to your face and inhaled deeply and have convinced yourself the meat is not stinky in any way, it is still the meat. Even if the expiration date is fine and the color is fine, you may end up going back several hours later to discover green meat and the smell of a dead possum that has burrowed deep into the bottom drawer of your fridge.
I will leave you with a thought from William Feather--I know nothing of his credentials, but I appreciate this sentiment and I think the name William Feather is incredibly fun and poetic. He said, "Some people are making such thorough preparation for rainy days that they aren't enjoying today's sunshine." Enjoy your fleeting summer days, whether it's rainy outside, or stinky inside!
