Abbreviated Tech Tips
Maintain Adequate SPF Temperature in the Cold: In cold weather it is important to maintain adequate SPF material temperature to insure proper metering and mixing of the A and B components. One way of accomplishing this is by a process of recirculation. First, turn the preheaters and hose heat on. Next, use the transfer pumps (do not engage proportioner) to circulate the material through the preheaters and heated hoses, and then back into appropriate drums. This process will raise the liquid material temperature quickly and uniformly. Care should be taken to prevent excess moisture or humidity from entering the system during this process or contamination can occur.
Flush Pots: Many applicators enjoy using flush pot assemblies to clean their plural component spray guns. The proper techniques must be used to clean the gun thoroughly. Use the following technique to be assured of a clean gun when using a flush pot.
- Clean one side of your gun at a time. (This requires a flush pot coupling with two manual valves.)
- Clean the least viscous (thinnest side) first. This is usually the "A" side.
- Clean the other side next.
- Open both valves and flush both sides.
- Flush at each step until clean solvent comes through the gun in a steady stream.
Maintain Pressure and Ratio When Applying Plural Components: Plural Component spray equipment frequently arrives from the factory with size 80 or 60 mesh pump and gun screens. While this works fine with SPF applications, the screen mesh size may be too small for many plural component coating applications. Fillers typically used in coatings can clog small mesh screens, leading to off-pressure and/or off-ratio conditions. If you are experiencing difficulties maintaining equal pressures and/or staying on-ratio when applying plural component coatings, try using a larger mesh screen.
Form a Smooth Surface: In order to apply spray polyurethane foam (SPF) to form a smooth surface profile and produce specified physical properties, a proper application technique must be used. The spray gun should be held as perpendicular to the substrate as possible. Spraying at a severe angle will cause the SPF to roll and exhibit a 'tree-bark' surface profile. This profile may cause the SPF to exhibit poor physical properties and significantly increases the surface area of the SPF to receive protective coatings.
You should feather your passes at the outside edges. This will leave a taper on the outside edges that will blend in smoothly with the subsequent pass. The application of the SPF should be installed at a consistent rate to allow approximately 80 percent of the spray pattern to overlap the previous lift. This will eliminate any washboard undulation (see Figure 1) and create a smoother surface profile. The SPF should rise smoothly and uniformly.
Your tie-in to the adjacent pass will vary depending on your natural pass width. The tie-in pass should carry onto the previous pass by 10 to 20 percent of your pass width (see Figure 2). Try using the following technique to control your tie-in detail. Spray a full length pass (30 - 40 linear feet). Start your new pass immediately adjacent to the first pass. After approximately 10 linear feet, stop spraying. Get on your hands and knees and observe the pass line. The elevation of the SPF at the pass line should match the middle of the pass. If there is a ridge between the two passes, take a half of a step away from the first pass and continue spraying. If there is a valley, take a half of a step towards the first pass. If there is a 'tree-bark' surface at the pass line, narrow your pass width. With practice, these techniques become automatic. Your foam application will look much better, require less coating and provide better drainage.
On Ratio?: Many SPF contractors find that their B-side drums do not empty at the same time as their A-side drums and worry that their equipment might be malfunctioning. But before tearing down and rebuilding your pumps, consider the density differences between the A- and B- components.
SPF proportioning pumps are designed to process A- and B-components at a ratio of 1:1 by volume, not by weight. However, many SPF systems houses package their materials in drums or other containers by equal weight.
For example, SPF systems are typically packaged in 55 gallon drum sets: "A" being designated for the isocyanate component (pMDI) and "B" for the resin component. If both drums weigh the same, the volume of isocyanate (A) is less than the resin (B) due to the specific gravity differences of the two materials. Simply stated, one pound of isocyanate (A) will be less volume than one pound of resin (B). Therefore, there is more volume of resin in a drum set of equal weight. As the material is processed (1:1 by volume) there will be resin left over.
If you find that you chronically have excess resin (B-component), ask your supplier if they ship sets by equal weight or equal volume.
Thermal Barriers: Building codes require that foam plastic insulation, such as spray polyurethane foam (SPF), be covered with a thermal barrier to slow their involvement in fire situations. Thermal barriers are discussed in the International Building Code (IBC) in Section 2603 and in the International Residential Code (IRC) in Section R314.
½-inch thick gypsum board is one commonly used thermal barrier. It and other thermal barriers are designed to "limit the average temperature rise of the unexposed [foam plastic insulation] surface to no more than 250 oF (121 oC) after 15 minutes of fire exposure to the ASTM E 119 standard time temperature curve." [IRC 2003, Section R314.1.2]
- But, there are MANY exceptions to the thermal barrier requirement. For example:
- Building code authorities may approve coverings based on fire tests specific to the SPF application. For example, covering systems that successfully pass large scale tests (such as the small room corner test) may be approved by code authorities in lieu of a thermal barrier.
- SPF protected by a 25 mm (1-inch) thickness of masonry does not need a thermal barrier.
- Certain SPF roof covering systems do not require a thermal barrier between the SPF and the interior.
Ignition Barriers: Another exception to the thermal barrier requirement is in attics and crawl spaces where entry is made only for the service of utilities. In these cases, SPF must be protected from ignition by covering with 38 mm (1 1/2 inch) mineral fiber insulation, 6.4 mm (1/4 inch) wood structural panels, 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) gypsum board or other code prescribed material. These materials which offer protection from ignition are called "ignition barriers" (the building codes do not use the term "ignition barrier"; this term is a common vernacular used by the building trades to describe these and equivalent materials).
As with thermal barriers, code authorities may accept alternatives to the above prescribed based on fire tests specific to the SPF application.
In General: Materials which are not specifically prescribed by the building codes may be approved by building code authorities for use as a substitute or an exception to the requirement of a thermal barrier or ignition barrier when based on fire tests specific to the SPF application.
Just because a material is advertised as a "thermal barrier" or "ignition barrier" does not mean that it has been tested in conjunction with SPF and approved by a code agency or a local code official. Ask for test data and code body approvals, listings, or other written indications of acceptability under the code to be sure that the product selected offers the fire protection that the code demands.
For more information, refer to SPFA Document AY 126 Thermal Barriers for the Spray Polyurethane Foam Industry and API Document AX 230 Fire Safety Guidelines for Use of Rigid Polyurethane and Polyisocyanurate Foam Insulation in Building Construction.
Reducing Weight with SPF: Power brooming or roof vacuuming an old Built-Up Roof (BUR) should remove about three pounds of gravel per square foot. This statement is made assuming that a typical application of four pounds of gravel per square foot was initially applied. The application of a spray polyurethane foam roof with a coating system should only weigh about one-third or one-quarter pound per square foot.
Obviously the roof weight reduction is significant. It is possible that a deflected roof can demonstrate some memory and recover some of the original shape of the BUR system as a direct result of the dramatic weight reduction. Equally significant is the process where the roof is sprayed with polyurethane foam and sloped 1/4 inch per foot to drains. As the weight of water is 5.2 pounds per square foot at a one-inch depth, the elimination of ponding water on a roof can dramatically lengthen the life span of a roof and reduce those costly repairs. Spray polyurethane foam roofing and leaky old downtown buildings are made for each other. There is a tremendous market for SPF in the core of your city. Think about it!
Coating Reversion: Coating reversion of two component polyurethane coatings was a problem primarily in roofs that were coated in the early to late 1980s. I have not seen the condition in the last 10 years.
Reversion of coatings refers to a condition where the coating originally sets up and exhibits good physical properties initially then over a period of time (usually years), the coating (typically the base coating) becomes soft and gummy. Sometimes the coating appears fine in cool to cold weather and only becomes soft during warm and hot weather. This makes it hard to diagnose at times.
The causes of reverted coating usually stem from the A side not mixing thoroughly with the B side component and eventually having the A side react with water vapor. Since it is usually the base coating, the top coating may appear fine. Sometimes the top coating may start to lose adhesion with the base coating. If this happens, the recommendation is to scarify the coating and top surface of foam, re-foam and re-coat the roof. If the adhesion is good and the coating is providing adequate UV protection, it is usually best to just leave it alone.
Using Power Brooming To Your Advantage: Power brooming or roof vacuuming an old Built-Up Roof (BUR) should remove about three pounds of gravel per square foot. This statement is made assuming that a typical application of four lbs. of gravel per square foot was initially applied. This application of a spray polyurethane foam roof with a coating system should only weight about one-third of one-quarter pound per square foot. Obviously the roof weight reduction is significant. It is possible that deflected roof can demonstrate some memory and recover some o the original shape of the BUR system as a direct result if the dramatic weight reduction. Equally significant is the process where the roof is sprayed with polyurethane foam and sloped to drain ¼ inch per foot to drains. As the eight of water is 5.2 lbs. per square foot at one-inch depth, the elimination of ponding water on a roof can dramatically lengthen the life span of a roof and reduces those costly roof repairs. Spray polyurethane foam roofing and leaky old downtown buildings are made for each other.
Scarifying Spray Polyurethane Foam: Scarifying is the process of cutting or planning off the upper surface of the SPF. While it is acceptable to scarify or scarf the SPF and refoam, a couple of simple rules must be followed or job failure can occur.
Scarifying should extend down a minimum of ½ in. to sound, dry dimensionally stable on-ratio SPF. Care should be taken to assure that the coatings in the low areas are removed during scarification and that scarification is extended below suspected problem areas such as UV degradated SPF.
The area must then be cleaned by broom or blown air. On the same day, the SPF must either be re-foamed or it must be primed with a dark-colored acceptable primer. If the SPF is installed at a later date, blistering of the new SPF may occur. The reason this occurs is moisture from dew formation is very difficult to dry on scarified SPF. Foaming the same day as scarifying the foam eliminates the possibility of dew formation. In cases where foaming the same day is not practical, a dark primer will stop UV degradation of the foam and give a dark substrate to hold heat, speeding dew evaporation. An additional benefit of the dark primer is that it aids in the rise of the new foam.
SPFA believes that the path to a healthful, safe, high-quality and performing SPF installation travels through the hands of a knowledgeable, trained, experienced, and ideally PCP-certified professional contractor.

Apparently, it will take more than the point-blank murders of 20 first-graders to convince some congressional Republicans that the nation must take a more sensible approach to gun control.
Many conservatives acknowledged in the wake of the Dec. 14 slaughter at Newtown, Conn., that there have to be restrictions on access to semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines. Others, however, dug in and repeated the same old rhetoric that has helped to make so much of America a free-fire zone. The problem isn't guns, they say, but mental illness.
"We recognize those very demented, awkward people commit those crimes. We need to do a better job treating and looking at and finding people who have these problems. That's the issue. We have millions and millions of guns. Guns aren't the problem; sick people are," said Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas.
"There are just evil people in the world. There's nothing you're going to do to prevent evil from occurring," said Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina.
Foxx and Sessions are correct. There are mentally ill people in the world and there is evil in the world. But the thing that distinguishes the United States from the rest of the world is that we allow easy access to deadly weapons regardless of whether people are mentally ill or bent on committing evil acts.
A study of firearm deaths in the United States and 23 high-income countries that have more restrictive firearms laws, published in 2011 by the Journal of Trauma, made it plain:
The American homicide rate was 6.9 times higher than aggregate rates for the other countries, primarily because the firearm homicide rate was 19.5 times higher. For 15-year-olds to 24-year-olds, the firearm homicide rate in the United States was 42.7 times higher; for U.S. males, the rate was 22 times higher; for U.S. females, the rate was 11.4 times higher. The U.S. firearm suicide rate was 5.8 times higher even though the overall suicide rate was 30 percent lower. Accidental firearm deaths were 5.2 times higher. Among the countries studied, 80 percent of all firearm deaths occurred in the United States; 86 percent of women killed by firearms were American, as were 87 percent of children up to 14 killed by firearms.
All of the countries studied have citizens afflicted with mental illnesses. Those nations, recognizing that it is impossible to recognize in advance when someone will commit violence, reduce deadly violence by controlling guns.
The guns-for-all crowd needs a new slogan: "Guns don't kill people; Americans do." It is a national disgrace.
Much can be done
Fortunately, many pro-gun Republicans and Democrats recognize that much can be done to reduce the carnage without jeopardizing the right to bear arms.
President Barack Obama has empaneled a commission to make recommendations by January, but some improvements already are obvious:
n Re-establish the ban on assault-style weapons that Congress allowed to lapse in 2004.
n Ban high-capacity magazines.
n Require background checks of people who purchase guns at gun shows.
n Outlaw gun purchases over the Internet.
n Penalize states that do not quickly turn over to federal authorizes their databases on mentally ill residents, to make background checks more effective.
n Require reporting of lost or stolen guns to deter illegal sales.
n Limit gun purchases to one per person per month to deter sales to criminals who can't obtain weapons on their own.
Mental health is indeed an issue. To improve screening and treatment, many of the same politicians who oppose gun control will have to stop slashing funding for mental health programs.
Fortunately, the new health care law, which many of those same politicians also oppose, mandates coverage for mental illnesses by 2014. That alone could help.
No one believes there is any cure-all. But the United States clearly has to change its gun culture, which will reduce the carnage.

Post subject: WHY THIS ADDENDUM?
Nine years have past since ?Life Style Without Food? was publish. During that time, when giving seminars, talks or meeting friends, I was talking and writing to many people about topics described in the book that is inedia, not-eating, fasting, Consciousness, Life.
Many people that I met were asking me similar questions. That gradually made me to finally decide to write more details, to better explain and to add more material.
I have written this book in order to give you more information if you are interested in inedia, not-eating, fasting, proper eating, Consciousness, Life etc.
In Summer 2014 when in China I was talking with people about topics mentioned above, I understood how important it is to publish new material forthwith. I saw and felt it how seriously local people are interested in those topics and how sincerely they are looking for information that I know.
During those past nine years I noticed how many false beliefs about those topics prevail among people. Beliefs are limitations. When enslaving the man they constitute barriers against manifestation of the Inner Power. Getting rid of beliefs is a process to freedom of the man. Free man does not have beliefs.
I hope that information included in this book will help you in getting rid of beliefs. Such a process will be happening if you use those information for benefiting yourself and the others.
It's worth knowing that for yourself you are the most important being in the universe, therefore take care of yourself, that means give yourself highest regard, see yourself as admirable man and Love yourself.
Remove all fears and let Joy manifest itself through you, because this is how you are creating Life and that is Love is emanating from you.
From then on you do not need or seek any help. That is how you are becoming a happy man, who naturally share their joy and Love with the others. The more you give, there more you receive. Others are following such life style thus the worlds becomes paradise, because people become free.
It is difficult to beguile or stultify free people in order to enslave them, therefore free people do not have rulers, lords or guides. They know and utilise their natural Inner Power, they consciously create their own life.
I am dreaming about such man and mankind. I see in future mankind is like that. This is why I am sharing my knowledge in form of information contained in this book.
Texts contained here are extensions of the content from the first part ?Life Style Without Food? (LSWF). It is indispensable to read the first part in order to understand the content here, because chapters written in the first part are extended here only, not repeated.
Pay attention that titles of this book line up with titles of the first part LSWF. When reading this book, at the same time have the other book open on same chapter title. First read given chapter from the first part, then read the chapter with the same title here. When you proceed like this with both books, they become as one book and you get best understanding.
Thus, if you are continuing now, first read ?THIS IS ONLY INFORMATION? from the first book and then read the following chapter here ?THIS IS ONLY INFORMATION?, before you start reading ?DEFINITIONS?.

Palin rips Time for making Obama 'Person of the Year'
Time magazine's selection of President Obama as "Person of the Year" is drawing scorn from conservatives, including Sarah Palin.
"Time magazine, I think there is some irrelevancy there, to tell you the truth," said the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee on Fox News.
Palin, the former governor of Alaska, also appeared to mock herself while mocking Time.
"I mean consider their list of the most influential people in the country and the world, some who have made that list -- yours truly!" Palin said. "That ought to tell you something right there regarding the credence we should give Time magazine and their list of people."
As for Obama's selection, Palin said that other than "drive us over a fiscal cliff ... what the heck has he done?"

PANAMA CITY BEACH � The entanglements involving Oaseas Resorts LLC and the ongoing police investigation into fraud allegations has resulted in a rift between the two men who once ran the company.
PANAMA CITY BEACH � The entanglements involving Oaseas Resorts LLC and the ongoing police investigation into fraud allegations has resulted in a rift between the two men who once ran the company.
Thomas J. Duggan, the man at the center of the Oaseas controversy, has hired a forensic accountant to help sift through the financials to try and learn what happened to the money, including $2.2 million Duggan has charged that his former colleague, Marty McDaniel, took before exiting the company in March, according to a Panama City Beach Police report filed last week.
Duggan has hired Glen Gillyard of the Destin-based accounting firm of Carr, Riggs and Ingram to review the Oaseas books.
�We are going to find out what happened one way or the other,� Gillyard said.
The hiring of Gillyard comes after the latest allegation that McDaniel ran off with as much as $2.2 million.
McDaniel has denied the allegations.
�There have been false allegations made and I�d have to refer all questions to [my attorney] Rusty Shepard,� McDaniel said.
According to Shepard, McDaniel is not under investigation by authorities regarding fraud at the company. Shepard said his client is working with authorities.
�He is being viewed as a witness and not a suspect,� Shepard said.
Oaseas allegedly defrauded as many as 300 of the company�s customers.
Calls to Duggan regarding this article were not returned.
Meanwhile, State Attorney Glenn Hess said the probe into the business dealings at Oaseas investigation likely will include his office and other state agencies.
�This is an economic crime; it isn�t like [a] �somebody hit me� kind of thing,� Hess said. �It�s a bit more difficult.�
Oaseas and Duggan have been under scrutiny for more than two weeks now as customers continue to complain he defrauded them of money owed in a real estate deal.
The company, which closed earlier this month, was hired to manage more than 800 real estate properties in Panama City Beach and South Walton and collect funds the property owners say were never paid.
Late last week, former employees went to the offices to get their last checks.
Some received their checks and some did not, according to Katherine Castro, who worked inside the Oaseas business offices at 415 Richard Jackson Blvd.
According to Castro, Oaseas made the employees sign a confidentiality agreement to get their checks. Some employees had a regular payroll check plus a reimbursement check due to them, Castro said.
Only the payroll checks were released, she said.
�The reimbursement checks, we were told, were in a frozen account, and they were not sure if the funds would ever be released,� Castro said.
The Panama City Beach Owners Alliance, formed by those who claim they have been defrauded by Oaseas, has retained an attorney.

A MAN who had brain surgery is marking 10 years of fundraising for the hospital which changed his life, by backing the OX5 Run.
Andrew Baker, from Didcot, has raised more than £28,000 for the Oxford Children's Hospital in Headington over the last decade.
He can't run the five miles himself because of his health, but this will be the fourth time he has rallied a team.
The 24-year-old has worked hard to support the hospital where doctors operated on his brain to remove a haematoma when he was 12 years old.
He has organised a series of fundraising football tournaments and parties over the years, and this year is again rallying a team of friends to take on the OX5 Run.
Mr Baker said: "It is quite incredible really that it is 10 years this month and it will be good to get some more people to go to the OX5.
"It's my way of saying thanks.
"I started fundraising when I was 14 at St Birinus School, Didcot, when friends helped me raise £1,000, and it just carried on.
"I'm really pleased to be closing in on £30,000."
This year's run – the 11th – at Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, is on March 10.
It is hoped the event, which is organised by the Oxford Mail, will beat last year's fundraising total of £60,000.
Mr Baker, from Great Western Drive, Didcot, was born with a brain tumour causing neurological problems.
He made a good recovery after the operation in 2001. But symptoms such as balance and mobility problems reappeared in 2009.
His OX5 team includes Mark Thompson, 25, Sarah Bayliss, 22, Adam Greenough, 25, Kyle Lyford, 25, Lee Mack-rory, 24, and Charlie Thompson, 16, all from Didcot, as well as Michele Hobbs, 32, and Simon Smith, 32, from High Wycombe, and Sarah Paxford, 37, and Christa Paxford, 15, from Oxford.
Children's hospital spokeswoman Sarah Vaccari, said: "We are incredibly grateful for all he has done despite having to cope with his own health problems.
"He really is an amazing young man."

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Officials at Auburn University have announced the iconic oak trees at Toomer's Corner will be removed.
University officials made the announcement Friday and said in a statement that the trees are unlikely to survive despite efforts to save them after they were poisoned with a powerful herbicide.
University officials say a new landscaping plan will be unveiled and the school will host a block party at Toomer's Corner on April 20 to give fans a final opportunity to gather near the landmarks.
It's unclear when the trees will be removed.
Harvey Updyke Jr. is accused of poisoning the trees and is scheduled to go to trial April 8.
The school plans to construct alternative structures for students and fans to gather around after big wins and on other special occasions.

Home Page Chess Life Online Jennifer's Blog Photos From ChessFest 2009
|Photos From ChessFest 2009
|By Jennifer Shahade
|May 22, 2009
The second annual 9Queens ChessFest was held on May 2 in Tucson, Arizona. The event,
hosted by 9Queens, a non-profit I co-founded with Jean Hoffman reaches out to the community, not just chessplayers. Chess Fest '09 featured a blitz tournament, a human chess match, face-painting, an art auction, as well as my favorite new activity, hula-hooping! Live music was provided by the psychedelic country band Golden Boots.
I was hoping to make this event- I had a blast last year. But on the same exact day, I was finishing my marathon simul in Saint Louis to promote the 2009 U.S. Chess Championship, and unfortunately my teleporting device malfunctioned at the last minute.
But many Tucson luminaries attended: the mayor of Tucson, Bob Walkup, the Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Council Member Rodney Glassman, local news anchor Mark Stine and college athletes from the University of Arizona. Members of the U.S. Chess League team the Arizona Scorpions and the three-time National Championship team Catalina Foothills High came out to volunteer and enjoy the festivities.
The art auction included work donated by artists including clamdiggin, Paula Wittner, Carina Jorgensen, and Margo Burwell.
Carina Jorgensen is a young Danish chessplayer and artist, and she has a very cool website with many chess and art pieces. She even created the following Shahade chess match digital work! You can read more about the piece here.

Now that the 2013 season is over, LA Galaxy Insider Adam Serrano will look back on the season for every player who was on the club's roster at some point during the season.
The LA Galaxy Insider Year in Review will begin with players who made the least number of appearances for the club in all official competitions over the course of the year, starting with Brian Perk and Bryan Gaul, who did not make any appearances for the first team this year, and concluding with midfielder Marcelo Sarvas who played in a team-best 42 games for LA this year. There will also be an evaluation of head coach and general manager Bruce Arena and his moves at the conclusion of the list.
We will have one or two evaluations per day and focus on what each player did well and what challenges they faced in 2013 as well as a select thought from the player on their performance and an overall assessment of their season from myself.
Kofi Opare
POSITION: Defender
APPEARANCES IN ALL OFFICIAL COMPETITIONS FOR THE GALAXY: GP: 10 (Six in MLS Regular Season, two in MLS Cup Playoffs and two in CONCACAF Champions League); GS: 10 (Six in MLS Regular Season, Two in MLS Cup Playoffs and two in CONCACAF Champions League); G: 1 (in MLS); A: 0
HIGHLIGHTS: Kofi Opare began the year as a second round pick from the University of Michigan, but ended it as a regular member of the LA Galaxy starting XI. Fueled by consistent play in MLS Reserve League and a pair of appearances in the Guinness International Champions Cup, Opare cut his teeth at the pro ranks in late August, making his official first team debut in the CONCACAF Champions League opener against Cartagines. The confident showing convinced the Galaxy coaching staff to give the rookie his MLS debut a few weeks later at home against the Colorado Rapids. With Leonardo suffering an injury in late September, Opare was thrust back into the starting lineup against the Portland Timbers on September 29 and held that spot for the remainder of the 2013 MLS campaign. He started each of the final seven MLS matches, including both legs of the Western Conference Semifinals against Real Salt Lake. During that run, Opare tallied the first goal of his professional career, scoring the game-winner in LA's 1-0 victory over the Montreal Impact on Oct. 16, which also saw him honor his recently deceased friend with a touching tribute.
CHALLENGES: Opare may have enjoyed a rise from the bottom of the Galaxy's central defense depth chart to a spot in the starting lineup, but it was not a seamless ascent for the rookie. He began his professional career dealing with a nagging hamstring injury that he suffered during the 2013 MLS Draft Combine. After recovering, Opare needed time to get up to speed in terms of fitness and match preparedness and he did not find himself a part of the first team until August. Throughout his rise from reserve to first team regular, Opare's primary challenge was his inconsistent passing as he struggled to complete dangerous passes up field. Despite his strong showings at the end of the regular season, Opare struggled in the Galaxy's Western Conference Semifinal defeat to Real Salt Lake that saw the team crash out of the postseason. Opare, and the LA defense as a whole, struggled to contain a Salt Lake side that capitalized on a pair of Galaxy defensive lapses.
HIS THOUGHTS: "It's been a great experience coming into the team. It's not [an experience] that was an easy one because there were setbacks, but with the guidance of the players and coaching staff, I was able to develop. …The season was a work in progress. There wasn't one moment, one game or practice that I felt like Superman or someone completely different. It was just progress as a player that happened over the long stretch."
OVERVIEW: No Galaxy player made more of a leap forward in 2013 than Kofi Opare, who was able to blossom from second round draft pick into regular starter in by the end of the season. However as Opare heads into 2014, he'll need to build upon the foundation that he laid for himself in his rookie year. Already equipped with the size and mentality that Bruce Arena craves in his center backs, Opare must continue to fine tune his passing ability which was shaky at times in his rookie season. If the big center back can come into preseason camp healthy and fit, there's no doubt that he could be a regular starter for the Galaxy in 2014.
POLL: How would you rate Kofi Opare's 2013 season?Adam Serrano is the LA Galaxy Insider. Read his blog at LAGalaxy.com/insider and contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com

Editors matter.
The March 28-April 4, 2011, edition of the struggling news magazine Newsweek—which I admittedly have not read in years— provides some of the finest articles I have read in many months, illustrates the limits of online and social media, and shows why editors matter.
There is great benefit from both edited and unedited media and I don't believe they have to be seen in dichotomous choices for the future of media. But I believe those who argue they don't need to edited media doom themselves to narrowness and ignorance.
If I relied only on the links I receive daily from colleagues on Facebook, my news alerts for topics of interest, or digital listings of stories, I would miss the most important contribution of edited media—the service editors provide by reviewing and thinking about the world and putting journalists to work to provide a coordinated understanding of the available information. This week's Newsweek epitomises that reality.
Although I often have my attention drawn to information and stories of interest from my social media, the pattern of stories and information sent to me would not have led me to Bill Emmott's Newsweek story on the impact of disasters on politics, economics, and national psychology or Paul Theroux's explanation of how Japan's history has shaped its culture and how the generous global response to the earthquake and tsunami is forcing it to confront the fact that it is not alone and isolated in the face of geographical and physical constraints.
Had I relied on to the multiple news websites I peruse weekly, the ways they are presented and the ways that I search for news on them would not have led me to Newsweek's fascinating story of the nuclear disaster at an Idaho test station in 1961 that may have been the result of a murder-suicide, its account of why a London murder has led to a boycott of Coca-Cola, or its account of why political ignorance in America is higher than that in European countries.
My point here is not that we should all be rushing out to subscribe to Newsweek (My apologies to Sydney Harmon, Barry Diller and Tina Brown), but that the functions of editors matter. Having someone look at the world and see ways that it fits together, have editors coordinate and incentive talented writers, and having editors create a collection of stories and information continues to produce value.
Those who believe that news, information, and understanding of the world can come through a disaggregated and uncoordinated flow of information and stories, much of which is not prepared by professional writers on a regular basis, miss the entire reason for the success of edited media over the past 300 years.
I do not wish to be construed as saying that online and social media do not make enormous contributions to our communications ability, but until they mature to the point they can support regular oversight and thought about the world and compensate professionals for whom investigating and reporting developments is their primary employment, digital media will not be able to replace the contributions of well edited print media.
After a decade and a half of digital media it is clear that we are able to move news and information to those platforms, but we are nowhere near the point we can shut off the presses without a great deal of loss of oversight and understanding about the world around our lives.

I totally agree. I face the opposite challenge. I am editor of a trade magazine and people of the industry crave for news. Unfortunately, magazines can't address news due to production delays. I try and convince my readers to move to social media to share and gather news together. Did you say challenge? :-)
Thanks for your post, it says it all.
May I translate it to my french speaking audience?

Tom Rutherford Cruwys who served with the British Military Forces in Mesopotamia in World War I and sadly died of malaria on 28th September 1918 at Krasnovodsk in Russia (now Turkmenistan). I also published the surviving letters that Tom wrote to his mother during his time in Russia. I was puzzled at the time by Tom's absence from the records of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, but wasn't aware that there was any way to pursue the matter with the CWGC. I subsequently learnt about the In from the Cold Project which was set up to research and identify all the service men and women missing from the official CWGC list of casualties from the First and Second World Wars. I wrote to Terry Denham from the In from the Cold Project back in February 2011 and he kindly agreed to look into Tom's case and submit the details to the CWGC. He did warn me that it might take up to a year and there was no guarantee of success. Terry has now advised me that Tom has been accepted for commemoration by the Ministry of Defence, and his name was added to the CWGC register yesterday. Tom's name will eventually be added to the Haidar Pasha Memorial in Turkey which is a memorial for those missing in southern Russia and the Caucasus. I am delighted that Tom is now finally getting official recognition for his sacrifice, and I would like to thank the In from the Cold Project for their help with Tom's case and all the wonderful work they do to ensure that all those who sacrificed their lives in both World Wars receive an official commemoration.

The following is a three-page, handwritten document attesting to the Revolutionary War military service of surgeon Robert Williams of North Carolina. In this document is mentioned the name of John Isler, my fifth great-grandfather.
While this document only refers to John Isler once and gives very little information about him, it is still a fascinating recollection of one man's actions during this historic time!
State of North Carolina
Pitt County
On this the ninth day of Aug. 1832 Personally
appeared in open court before the Justices of the court of Pleas and Quarter
Sessions for the State & County aforesaid now sitting (being a court of
record Robert Williams a resident of Pitt County and State aforesaid
aged seventy four the 25th inst. Who being first duly sworn
according to law doth on his oath make the following
declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress
of the 7th of June 1832.
That he was born on the 25th August 1758 by the record of his
father in County of Pitt & State of North Carolina and raised in
said county that he has lived in said county & still continues
to live in every since except some less that two years
that he lived in the town of Windsor in Bertie County in
the above State upwards of fourty five years past, and except
when he was in the service of the state or on some
business a short time. That his first going into the
service after the revolutionary War commenced was when
a body of tories up the Cape Fear River most in Cumberland
County in said State, that the said tories was making their
way to the sea board below Wilmington where a British
ship of war was then lying, that col. Robert
Lalter commanded the troops he was with who got to a bridge on the north Coast
River of Cape Fear. That Col Richard Caswell commanded another
party of men who got to Moore's Creek Bridge, where the said
tories attempted to cross and were totally defeated when we
all returned home perhaps in one month. I then was appointed
Quarter Master. These was the first troops that I believe march
in this state after the war commenced and expect it was the
year 1775 or in the early part of the year 1776. I was then a
short time in the Continental line of this state acting as Surgeons
Mate under Dr. Usher in the year 1779 as I believe I was
appointed Surgeon to a Regiment raised by the State of North
Carolina, that John Herritage was Col and John A Allen Major
of said Regiment that Bryan Whitfield, William Herritage, Herring
John Garland Shadrack Allen, John Isler & Gideon Edwards
were Captains, and Benjamin Foswell Captains of cavalry belonging
to said Regiment, that they went across Peedee River perhaps
two hundred miles from their homes that they were some month
employed in taking those tories who had refused to comply with
the Laws of the State and would not take the oath of Allegiance.
They then went to Fort Caswell below Newbern which
elected to prevent small armed Vessals of the Enemy from
commiting depredations on said Town, they after-wards removed
to the neighborhood of Kinston where they mostly remained
untill discharged by the Legislature or the governors orders
which I believe was in November, the time I acted as Surgeon
I think was about nine months. the next service I entered
into was in I think August 1780. When Gates went to the south
there was about eighty men turned out Volunteers in the
County of Pitt under Col James Gorham to aid Genl Gates but
before we had gone far we met men that was in Gates' defenc
we continued on until we joined the remains of the defeated
Army at Ramsey Mills on Deep River in this state, then
under the Command of General Jethro Sumner who was a
a Brigadeir in the Continental Line, James Cole Montflorence
was his Aid, he gave me appointment of Surgeon General
which I went and returned, because I was young and there was
several surgeons on the Continental establishment who had
been several years in service; he then give me an appoint
ment as Surgeon to the Army , as he said the Doctors he believed
that was there was inattentive to their duty and some of them
drank hard, we moved towards South Carolina and a few
miles below Charlotte in Mecklinburg Country near the South
Carolina line, a reconoitering of ours took some British prison-
ers when we found we was near Cornwallace, we then retreated
next day our Horse had a skirmish at Charlotte; Some was
Killed and several wounded. we retreated on this side the Yadkin
where we lay a considerable time and where I hept an hospital
and continued until reduced by excessive fatigue and our
time all nearly expired, which was three months. I then had
orders from the general to discharge the sick and come on
home with them, which I done accordingly. I was a short
time out when Lord Corn Wallace passed through our State.
Whilst I kept the hospital above, Col. Washington with his
Regiment Of Horse and Genl Morgan passed on by us. It would
take up to much time to mention all the officers I then knew,
suffice it to say General Davidson commanded the Horse, and
William R. Davie was Col. of a Regiment of Horse, our whole
numbers were about two thousand men, as I believe.
I know of no person now living nor have I any docu
ments to prove the foregoing facts, only for part of the time.
Willis Willson who was in Capt Benjamin Caswell's company
of Cavalry in the State Regiment was then with me and has
known me Ever Since. I have never been on any pension list and
duely relinquish all claim to any such
Sworn to & sunscribed in in open Court the day above

How Blogging Can Help Your Career
By Angela Rose, Hcareers.com
A 2006 ABC News article defined blogs, or "web logs," as online diaries focused on particular themes, topics or interests. While this was a technically accurate description back then, six years later blogs have evolved into so much more. No longer just vehicles for the late-night ramblings of fan boys, desperate housewives and angst-ridden philosophy majors, today blogs are used by businesses, corporations, and even job-seeking professionals.
A well-written blog can actually do a lot to help your career. Through blogging, you can establish a reputation as an expert in your field. It will help you build professional credibility as well as network with others in your industry. At the very least, a blog offers tangible proof of your passion for your profession.
It may even help you earn more money. According to CNN Living, a study conducted by Pew Research in 2005 found that professionals who blog are generally higher earners. Why? Experts (or perceived experts) are usually offered higher salaries.
However, successful blogs are not built overnight. Nor should you expect to immediately begin fielding job offers or guest speaking requests. Blogging takes time and at least a bit of skill. You must determine if you have what it takes to be a successful blogger before you begin.
Do you know how to run the software associated with your blog?
Companies such as WordPress make it fairly simple to set up your own blog. Most offer customizable designs, or themes, and some even include free hosting. But if you're not technically savvy, you may find posting and formatting frustrating.
Do you have the time to post regularly? For a successful blog, you need to post regularly –at least once a week, possibly more. You should consider original posts as well as abstract posting. An abstract blog post involves referencing an article or post on another website or blog with an introduction (written by you), excerpt from the article, and then a link to the original. It's an effective way to establish reciprocal relationships with other bloggers in your industry.
Remember that it takes time to build an audience. You may need to blog for a year or more before you begin to get noticed.
Do you enjoy writing? If your blog is going to help your career, you need to enjoy writing and write well –you're trying to showcase your talents, not your weaknesses. If you're a poor writer, you could consider hiring a ghostwriter. At minimum, have someone proofread before you post.
If you're ready to become a blogger…
Keep it professional and truthful. Your goal is to attract the interest of people who can help your career, right? Don't say anything you wouldn't want a hiring manager to read. Don't exaggerate the truth or publish outright lies. You may be called on them.
Keep it interesting. You must have something to say. Maybe it's useful information. Perhaps you have an entertaining perspective to offer. Boring blogs never develop an audience, no matter how frequently they are updated.
Pay attention to SEO. Search Engine Optimization can help drive traffic to your blog. You don't have to pay a lot for top-secret tactics either. It's as simple as a few well-placed keywords. Some time spent researching the basics should be all you need and certainly worth your efforts.
Promote your blog whenever possible. Include a link to your blog on every email. Include a link on your LinkedIn profile. If you're submitting a resume, include a link to your blog. Whatever your industry, it may serve as a virtual portfolio of your work.
You may be surprised by the respect a well-written blog will eventually engender in your industry peers. However, if you decide blogging isn't for you, you may be able to accomplish similar results by commenting on other's blogs or pursuing guest blogger opportunities.

Date night with wifey and we couldn't have picked a better place.
You have to appreciate service when they ask if you're celebrating anything, and discuss the tempo of how you'd like to roll out your courses.
We had the calamari (10/10) for an appetizer, my wife ordered the sweet corn risotto (10/10) and I had the bone-in rib eye (10/10).
All of the Conche team were pleasant and looked out for all of the diners (refills on drinks, taking away plates, etc).
I'm outlining all of this because you're truly getting value here, and we definitely will be back.
Memorable dinner, memorable food.
Great server, great sommelier, and great food! Made us feel very special!
Food was good, but portions were so small I had to get a burger afterwards at the restaurant next door! The flatbreads leaved much to be desired, we really liked the fish. Also the short ribs dish tasted just like beef stew, nothing memorable about it. Just left me wanting for more.
The cocktail list is fantastic and we recommend some of their special cocktails with Catoctin Creek Rye. Food was delicious.
We had reservations for Sunday brunch. Arrived a few minutes early and were seated at a table for two by the window. Our server was excellent, attentive and responsive. We ordered Mimosa's and our brunch: eggs and hash for me; crab cake burger for my wife. Both were excellent and half of each went home for further consumption. We both had ice cream for dessert; I had the smoked chocolate scoops which was really good (the restaurant is chocolate-themed). We enjoyed our brunch there very much; I highly recommend The Conche
Very tasty food & cocktails. Oh yeah, & chocolate!
Fabulous all around.
I would definitely recommend Conche to a friend, as we did that night when they took us to dinner there!...However, I would caution that the cocktails are good, but small. They seem to adhere to a shot glass when pouring drinks...and for the price of the drinks, I would like to have a more 'filled' glass, instead of a half filled glass. Other than that, we enjoyed everything else
high quality drinks and amazing chocolates - how could you go wrong. Look forward to sampling more of the menu.
Great place to go when celebrating a special occasion. So many good things on the menu, we'll have to come back to sample some of the other offerings!
We went to the Conche for our anniversary and the staff couldn't have been more gracious. They recognized our special evening with complimentary champagne and an anniversary message in chocolate on one of our dessert plates. A lovely restaurant with amazing food!
Great ambiance. Great appetizers and desserts. Mains were good but were a bit small and didn't stack up to the same level as appetizers and desserts but still good.
They were awesome to let us to do a mini baby shower there. It was a perfect location and we had so much fun catching up and hanging out :). Thank you all for the delicious food and great service
Six month dating anniversary and The Conche did not disappoint. Our waiter Ivan was attentive without being intrusive. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and how each item was prepared and served. I've been there many times before but my date had not. We shared the compressed watermelon and grilled halloumi salad which was spectacular. Ivan brought is a sparkling rose' that paired perfectly. She had the rack of lamb and was cooked perfect at med-rare. I ordered the seared scallops which are always amazing. We watched the chocolatier make our dessert and that really made the evening special.
Had a wonderful dinner last night at the Conch. We've been here before and certainly will go again. My Wife had the Short Ribs and I had the Scallops. Both entrees were amazing! I have read reviews that indicate that service has been uneven, but that wasn't our experience. Our waiter, Sharif, was attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. He recommended the perfect wine to go long with the Short Ribs. And of course nothing beats the dessert at the Conch. Chocolate Heaven.
We went for dessert and had made a 8:30 reservation online since it was a Friday night. The place was packed and glad that we reserved ahead of time. The staff was very friendly and attentive, the desserts were delicious, very beautifully displayed, and European portions-so don't go there if you are looking for a huge sundae or a giant slice of cake! We haven't tried the food from the main menu yet but am told it is amazing so will plan that for next time!
Everything was absolutely perfection! Already booked next reservation!
Solid cocktails, very good food, superb dessert, friendly service. A little noisy and the space is a touch cramped.
This place came highly recommended. My husband ordered the bacon Mac n cheese which was very good. My husband got the rack of lamb and i got the strip steak. My steak was a bit undercooked and the lamb was over cooked. We would have returned it but the service was spotty and we figured it would take too long. It was very noisy and they couldn't process gift cards unless it was their own. Also, nothing was comped for the lamb issue. For the price point we expected better.
Very unique dinner for our Anniversary!! Our server Troy was awesome!!
Conche always delivers for special occasions. The steak and short ribs were yummy. I had the watermelon salad which was a delight on the palette. Loved the cucumber gin and rosemary cocktail so much I got two! Great way to celebrate and enjoy wonderful cuisine.
The service from the moment we arrived and Ivan's waiting was excellent. The wine recommendation and absolute positive with bought two bottles of the Quilt. Food was delicious, the Catalonia shrimp and calamari delicious. The salmon and lobster pasta were good. I would add more lobster tale meat to the pasta. Dessert churros and the chocolate creme brulee were my favorites. We will be back.
BEST. FOOD. EVER. Everything was delicious, from cocktails, to apps, to entree, to dessert. You can't go wrong with anything here - just go and get whatever you want! So worth it!
Awesome!!! Best restaurant hands down in the area.
We chose The Conche to celebrate our anniversary. Upon reservations, we requested for a nice quiet table & even called to maker sure that happened but when we got there, we were given the first table by the door with a lot of people traffic. Very disappointed, we spoke to two people and it was Nicholas and Ivan who moved us to a more romantic table. Thank you guys! From then, the even just got better and better. Ivan who attended to us was very enthusiastic, fun and accommodating. He was knowledgeable about the food too. The food was creative, tasty and just impressive. The Chef really knew how to make things right. Only suggestion is to put more crab meat on the crab cake rather than fillers. Everything else was very good, i.e. kale salad, lamb, flatbread and dessert. It was worth the hour drive from home and became a memorable evening.
Amazing food!!
Loved it! Would definitely go back again. Food was exceptional and our waiter was excellent.
Dessert was interesting and great. App highlights were the calamari and the poke. The cocktails were amazing but took 45 mins for everyone to get theirs in a large group. There were two versions of the cocktail menu which caused additional ordering confusion. The dinner was 3 hours and we were waiting on the person to come back to do the basics like bring app plates and order dinner. The food was good but the server was very inexperienced and didn't do simple things like take the menus after we ordered. Very mixed experience.
The chocolate theme is great. It's disappointing when service fails. You watch your server take better care of others is disturbing. Please be consistent. Why do u pick up dirty plates from other tables & I had to place them on the end of the table hoping you'll get the hint. Nope. Finally had to ask. Cmon. This is basics. Please try harder.
Great service and tasty food. We are vegetarian and have some great vegetarian option. Desert were excellent
Food, atmosphere, and dessert were AMAZING! Loved Ivan our waiter also. Will absolutely be going back.
Great food and drinks but a bit pricey! Had the watermelon salad and scallop dinner, both were very yummy. I ordered the moostasche martini which can double as a chocolate after dinner dessert!
Outstanding meal and service. The tempura Brussel Sprouts served with the scallops need to be their own appetizer! Monkey bread sundae is genius.
Main course was ok but the dessert was excellent. We did have to wait for 30 minutes at arrival eventhough we had a reservation. They can improve in that regard. Overall pleasant experience. Bar tender was great.
Great food, great service, ambiance in strip plaza just ok, a bit pricey but food is great
When I found out about The Conche, I was extremely ecstatic because some of the staff and dishes were from another restaurant my husband, my sister and myself loved. I decided to surprise my husband for our 10-year anniversary and I must say it was wonderful. The drink, appetizers, meal and desserts were outstanding and so delicious. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for uniquely tasting drinks and creative dishes that are delicious and would not be able to find it anywhere else. Something I learned was that about 48% of their meals (which may include their drinks) are made with chocolate. In addition, their chocolate sculptures looks amazing.
I would like to say thank you to Kristen, Semeth, Isabelle and other staff for making our 10-year anniversary dining experience special.
We will definitely be back and you will be seeing me in your drink and chocolate classes
A friend told my wife and I about "The Conche" and almost demanded we visit this restaurant. The friend stated the food was almost orgasmic. Lol Although not orgasmic, the food was absolutely phenomenal!!! I had the shrimp and grits and my wife devoured her New York Strip. Our waiter was loud but very knowledgeable of every dish. He made our dinning experience here great! We did not indulge in dessert but there was no room left in either of our belly's however; I did take several pieces of chocolates to the Cobb 12 Theatre and enjoyed each piece while watching Crawl. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys quality food. I spent less than $100 for my wife's and I meal btw. To the management of "The Conche", please keep the great work up! Love that the General Manager of the establishment was actively assisting his staff also.
Awesome food and service!
Food and drinks were tasty. We ordered halibut and vegetarian risotto. Halibut was a thick cut of fish, buttery, and well seasoned. Risotto was very flavorful. Of course, desserts were a hit. I just wished the quantity was a little more. The menu lists what you expect to see on the dessert, so it's a bit deceiving when you see 5-10 different things under one dessert. After all, it's chocolate! Who doesn't want more chocolate?
The food is amazing and the chocolate ice cream to die for.

Sadness is indeed a very complicated emotion. It has the uncanny ability of dissolving the edges of reality
Haruki Murakami's, Norwegian Wood evokes exactly similar kind of emotions in the reader.
There are some books you read, which leave you with stories-bitter, exciting, adrenaline-driven, romantic, depressing or grisly. And then there are books which leave you with feelings. Norwegian Wood, most definitely, belongs to the second category.
And in my opinion, it is infinitely easier to deconstruct a story in a review rather than the feeling it leaves you with. But here's an attempt anyway.
Norwegian Wood is a beautifully sad yet incredibly sensual tale of unfulfilled love where the central characters are, in all essence, broken individuals.
In a most indolent manner, the book begins with our narrator Toru Watanabe, catching the strains of an orchestral version of The Beatles' 'Norwegian wood' on a flight to Hamburg and beginning to reminisce about a certain girl named Naoko, from the days of his youth in Tokyo. From hereon, the story is told as a flashback, as a sliver of memory that the 37-year old Toru has carefully preserved or perhaps is struggling not to forget.
Majorly the story revolves around the trials and tribulations of the 3 key characters - Toru, Naoko and Midori.
Toru, a reserved young college student, is shown to be somewhat anti-social, not quite opening up to others as easily as others open up to him. There is a sense of profound sadness about him hidden skilfully under a veneer of indifference, probably arising out of losing his childhood friend Kizuki, who committed suicide at 17. While Naoko, Kizuki's first and only girlfriend, is a beautiful and emotionally fragile being who has been unable to grapple with the tragedy of Kizuki's untimely death. Still in mourning, bound by a mutual feeling of isolation, Toru and Naoko, forge an unnatural connection of sorts, when they cross each other's paths years later in Tokyo. Toru falls in love right away and even she feels something love-like for him, but sadly enough it is not enough to heal them both. Soon the emotionally unstable Naoko recedes to a sanatorium in mountainous Kyoto while Toru tries to continue with his life as an unremarkable university student, seeking comfort in sleeping with random women. In Naoko's continued absence from his life, he makes friends with the bright, sassy, sexually liberated Midori Kobayashi, who has had her fair share of tragedies too but still manages to be optimistic. An unlikely friendship with Midori, helps dissipate some of the darkness in Toru's life but he is still unable to get Naoko off his mind and keeps writing her letters irrespective of whether she sends a reply or not. The rest of the book details Toru's dilemma as he is torn between these two women, never too sure of whether to shun his troubled past and embrace reality as it comes or keep waiting for Naoko to fully recover from her festering psychological wounds.
Written in a lucid language, the book is full of metaphors usually represented by the description of natural scenery. Murakami's obsession with western classics and music is reflected in the countless references to Beatles numbers like "Yesterday", "Michelle", "Something", Bach, Mozart, Scarlatti and literary works of Joseph Conrad, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Mann, Karl Marx and so on.
The brief overview of the plot does not, in any way, do justice to the story. For a book like Norwegian Wood cannot be summarized.
It is about human relationships which cannot be given a name or a clear definition. It is about the ghastly spectre of death and the way the people who are no longer with us, sometimes leave us in a permanent state of damage. It is about friendship and love and sexuality. And most important of all, it is about sadness. In its cruelest yet most beautiful form. The inherent dreariness of the book gets to you at some point or the other, but Murakami's compelling story-telling ways, make sure you keep reading till the very end.

Salmon with Thyme and Three-Lemon Crème Fraîche Recipe
This is the perfect light meal to counter Christmas pound-packing. A simple roast slab of salmon, slow-baked on a bed of lemon and thyme, is served hot or room temperature with a whisk-together sauce of crème fraîche, fresh thyme, and lemon in three forms: lemon zest, lemon juice, and minced preserved lemon. It's a light, bright homage to citrus season.
Note: Preserved lemon is a Moroccan ingredient that can be found in most specialty middle eastern or Northern African grocers.
Read more: French in a Flash: Salmon with Thyme and Three-Lemon Crème Fraîche
- Yield:3 to 4 servings
- Active time: 10 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- 1 bunch fresh thyme sprigs, plus 2 teaspoons picked thyme leaves
- 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced, plus 1 tablespoon juice and 1 teaspoon zest from the other half
- 3 to 4 large boneless skinless salmon filets, about 4 to 6 ounces each
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped preserved lemon (optional, see note)
- 1/2 cup crème fraîche
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place thyme sprigs and sliced lemon in a pile in the center of the baking sheet large enough to hold the salmon. Rub salmon on all sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place salmon on top of thyme/lemon bed and transfer to oven. Roast until the internal temperature registers 125 to 130°F on an instant read thermometer for medium-rare or 140°F for medium, 15 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest at least 5 minutes, or allow to cool to room temperature.
Stir together the thyme leaves, lemon juice, lemon zest, preserved lemon (if using), and crème fraîche. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the salmon either hot or at room temperature with the lemon sauce.

Last Saturday, WarmlyYours was out enjoying the beautiful, albeit very windy, spring day, to help raise awareness for and support victims of domestic violence. A team of 12 WarmlyYours employees and enthusiastic family members—WarmlyYours Radiant Runners—ran and walked the EmpoweRun 5K held at the scenic Independence Grove Forest Preserve in Libertyville, Ill.
Proceeds from the event benefited A Safe Place, an organization that advocates and provides services for victims of domestic violence in Lake County, Illinois. The annual event, now in its second year, was a tremendous success, raising more than $40,000 for A Safe Place. Through registration fees, individual employee and company-matching donations, WarmlyYours contributed $490.
At WarmlyYours, we firmly believe in supporting local organizations whenever we can. "I think that one of the most important things an organization can do is give back. At WarmlyYours Radiant, we have been so very fortunate, and we want to share that good fortune," said Julia Billen, owner and president of WarmlyYours Radiant Heating.
These outings also provide a network to build relationships. "It was great to see the company come together not only to support each other, but to support a good cause. Events such as this not only bring us together as a company, but as a community as well," said Nia-Shea Grosche, marketing assistant, who coordinated the company's participation in the EmpoweRun 5K.
Despite the chilly winds, it was a beautiful, sunny day to get out and have fun with co-workers, friends and family, cheering each other on. A few of the WarmlyYours Radiant Runners distinguished themselves by placing in their age divisions: Linnay Grosche, 2nd place, female 20-29; Christophe Selvais, 3rd place, male 20-29; Cassie Peterson, 3rd place, female 40-49.
All in all, it was a great day to get out, have fun, and support the efforts of A Safe Place to help victims of domestic violence. The WarmlyYours Radiant Runners are looking forward to doing it again next year. "This was the company's first charity race, and it turned out to be a huge success," said Grosche. "We plan to attend again next year and get more involved in raising money for the cause and adding more participants."
WarmlyYours was proud to be part of this year's event. However, the need is so great, there is so much more we want to do to help the victims of domestic violence.
"Causes that help women are especially close to our heart, as women nurture our children and are typically the connective element of the family," shared Billen. "This cause protects women and, therefore, protects us all."
Visit A Safe Place's website to learn more about the organization or make a donation, and join WarmlyYours in helping A Safe Place in their efforts to stop domestic violence and help victims transform their lives.

New Hyundai's concept had its premiere in the New York auto show, the long awaited pickup truck called "Santa Cruz crossover truck concept". Based on the manufacturer, the 2016 Hyundai Santa Cruz is proficient at achieving 30 mpg upon the highway and it is supposed to get a similar footprint to some compact crossover.
Additionally they claim the concept designers went for type of a combo look from the crossover and sedan, so it might satisfy the needs and tastes of both the crossover and sedan shoppers. Therefore, payload and towing weren't prioritized during the planning process. Inside a nutshell, consistent with some experts on cars, Santa Cruz should fill a void out there when it comes to size, price, and capability.
2016 Hyundai Santa Cruz Exterior
Hyundai has introduced a shiny silver 5-passenger crossover accompanied by a little pickup-truck bed called Santa Cruz, and that is intended to become employed for hauling soccer gear, snowboards and also the rest of recreational and sports equipment that its consumers got to haul around.
The 2016 Hyundai Santa Cruz designers actually succeeded in placing the rear axle on the ideal place, unlike the designers of another cars who placed it in between from the cab and also the bed, thus spoiling the vehicle's design. This vehicle looks sleek and fast, as a crossover using the rear section of the hood chopped off.
2016 Hyundai Santa Cruz Interior
The 2016 Hyundai Santa Cruz is really a 4-passenger vehicle, with two small back doors to assist with entry and exit. What's significant when one thinks of this vehicle with a little bed having a lockable tonneau cover, is by having an active lifestyle, there will be things people like to transport which are either too large, too stinky, or too dirty that will put within the cabin. Santa Cruz should include sliding rear seats, therefore the area can be utilized for comfort or cargo capacity.
2016 Hyundai Santa Cruz Engine and performance
The 2016 Hyundai Santa Cruz should make use of a 2. 0-liter 4-cylinder turbodiesel producing 190 hp and 300 pound-feet of torque. The maximum speed of Santa Cruz using this engine will certainly be 115 mph, and 0-60 mph acceleration in just a little lower than 8. 2 sec.
It ought to be also designed with special Brembo brakes and air vents to chill through engine. As to the fuel efficiency, as it was eventually mentioned in the beginning, it ought to be able to obtain 30 mpg upon the highway, making this vehicle far better compared to the majority of trucks in American market.
2016 Hyundai Santa Cruz Price and release date
Hyundai has presented its new crossover model using the truck features on 2015 North American International Auto Show. It's still a prototype and nobody has got the precise details about just simply the amount It'll cost. But, there will be rumors the medium-equipped Hyundai Santa Cruz 2016 should cost just a little lower than 40, 000 US Dollars.

Well, as the title so aptly put it, I'm new here.
I'm 17 and a senior in high school.
I'm planning on going to uni next year and double majoring in physics and theater because I'm obsessed with both of them.
I love music. I play French horn and acoustic guitar.
I like finding random bands that no one's heard of, not because I'm a pretentious hipster, but because I'm finding someone I had never heard of and listening to something they're pouring from their hearts, which is something so intimate that I feel like I know a bit of them. I don't know. Maybe it's just because of the fact that I'm a musician/poet. :/
Anyway, my favorite genres are singer/songwriter acoustic stuff and folk punk.
I've been an atheist for...a few weeks. Before that, I was a theistic Luciferian. Not to be confused with Satanism.
I like to read old literature. I'm reading Paradise Lost and Beowulf right now. Next is probably going to be Dante's Inferno.
I read lots of physics books. I'm working on The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow right now. If you couldn't tell, I read a lot of books at the same time.

"The truth has nothing to fear from investigation"
Hello Andreana..
Welcome to Think Atheist ^_^
Welcome to the site.
Hi Andreana,
Welcome to the site. I'm curious about your previous religion. Theistic Luciferian, as opposed to Satanism. My understanding is that LaVeyan Satanism is a belief that human urges should be embraced rather than opposed like in Christianity, and that it doesn't actually entail belief in Satan as many people would assume. Is that what you meant by Satanism? Conversely, Theistic Luciferian(ism?) is a term I have not come across before. Is that a belief in and worship of Lucifer? Does that also necessitate the belief in the existance of God? In which case, what drove you to switch teams? (from Yahweh to Lucifer and also from Lucifer to Atheism?) I'm guessing it was Yahweh's chronic assholism...
Thanks and welcome again,
I originally took on this label after months of feeling that way as it was. Theistic Luciferians don't worship the deity known as Lucifer. It's more like how yogis will travel to India to get to the roots of the practice and find a teacher to guide them. In Luciferianism, Lucifer doesn't like for people to worship him. He encourages everyone to pursue knowledge. He's the physical embodiment of the pursuit of knowledge and illumination, as the name means "Morning Star" and he is the light illuminating man and trying to advance us in the fields of mathematics and science. There's the Theistic Luciferian, who view him as an actual deity, but one that you don't worship more as look to for help and act more like a king or something similar. You don't worship him, but look up to him. And his stance is one of searching for truth and science. Then there's the Atheistic Luciferian, who views Lucifer as simply the symbol of illumination and knowledge. The symbol of realizing your greatness and looking for ways to increase your knowledge and the knowledge of those around you to create a better human society. Both ways, it's mainly about improving human existence through developing better technology and learning more about the world around us to help us expand our abilities as a species.
In my case, I viewed Yahweh as the oppressive God. The one who won the war and our entire account was written from the side of the victor, as all of history tends to be written. We hardly ever acknowledge the losing side, even if their cause was often a nobler one.
I had been a part of multiple religions over the course of seven years. I had gone from various new age beliefs, to dabbing in hinduism and buddhism, but I always returned to agnosticism after a time because I started getting apathetic towards it.
Last year, around this time, I effectively brainwashed myself into believing in god and being Christian, but the more I read the bible, the more I disliked Yahweh. Surely, the other must be more compassionate. I had a few "religious" experiences during a fit of depression, and the concept of Lucifer having a personal, fatherly relationship with me took root in my mind, and I began to look to him for guidance. Which led me to my obsession with physics. I began reading physics books and articles like I felt he was telling me to do, and I came across Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow's book The Grand Design. By the second chapter, I was convinced there were no deities. But I fought with myself over it. I kept digging deeper and deeper into quantum physics and the concept of a deity just became the things of a childish view of the world to me, so I finally let myself be honest.
That ended up being longer than I thought it would be, but I hope I answered your questions. :)
Thanks for the detailed reply. It sounds like Atheistic Luciferianism is quite similar to LeVeyan Satanism. Theistic Luciferianism is a new concept to me, thanks for explaining it.
welcome :)
