Piercings Daith o Hélix Interno
Just had a daith piercing done
and need jewellery to complete the look? If so then youre one brave
soul as this piercing can be painful, depending on your pain threshold.
It is done by piercing the deepest part of cartilage fold above the ear
Although the cartilage area is known to take longer to heal, theres nothing wrong with getting ahead and buying in the jewellery ready.
Finding The Right Jewellery For Your Daith Piercing
Once your daith piercing has healed it is then safe to remove the existing jewellery and replace it with a new one of your choice. For this type of piercing a BCR is the usual choice although barbells are also common. These two styles of jewellery offer a different look, and when it comes down to you choosing one its important you have an image already in mind.
With the daith piercing its important to know whether a BCR or barbell is going to be more comfortable. Thats all down to individuality and so its up to you to decide which type youre going to go for. Barbells come in a straight or curved shape whereas BCRs and seamless rings are both circular. A ring or BCR would be more comfortable given the position of the piercing but when it comes down to jewellery its about personal choice.

asparagus, Baking, Dinner, dough, easy, pizza, summer, Vegetables, vegetarian
I have a confession: I am incapable of kneading. I don't know if it's a character defect, a lack of practice or sheer laziness, but I cannot seem to take a mix of flour and water and yeast and make it into a smooth mass that balloons into a beautiful ball of dough. I end up with something shaggy and ragged and, well, downright ugly.
When it comes to pizza crusts, I have tried to persevere. There have been a few successes (and one colossal failure where I essentially made a giant, pizza-sized cracker), but I was typically undone by my less-than-stellar kneading skills.
And then, a revelation: no-knead pizza dough.
It was a circuitous route that brought me to a place where I realized I too could easily make homemade pizza dough.
It started with shaved asparagus pizza.
I stumbled onto the idea on Smitten Kitchen — a popular food blog written by the charming Deb Perelman — and was immediately enchanted. Warm chewy crust, melted cheese and thin shavings of asparagus that would roast on top? Yes, please.
But, as Perelman pointed out, she was not the only one to think this would be a fantastic combination. Indeed, Jim Lahey, who revolutionized bread baking with his no-knead concept, serves a high-end version at his restaurant.
Surely, Lahey must have a pizza dough recipe.
Yes, yes he does. And it doesn't involve kneading.
This time, the dough is intentionally shaggy and ugly. And, after a few stirs and some squishing together of the ingredients (I can't even bring myself to call it kneading), it only wants to be left alone for two hours.
When finally baked, it has a pleasing crispness with just an appropriate amount of chew. Topped with a tangle of shaved asparagus that had roasted and intensified in flavour, along with the richness and slight salt of the cheese, this is something I could eat over and over.
My first taste of asparagus came in Grade 10 when my boyfriend made me dinner one night and steamed some to go with steaks. I don't remember much about that meal other than feeling overwhelmingly shy and excited to have a boy I liked cook for me.
Since then, I've grown to love the green-stalked vegetable and I'll take it just about any way it can be prepared. Roasting, though, is my favourite because I like how it slightly caramelizes the tops and intensifies the flavour.
This pizza takes advantage of that, particularly because you shave the asparagus. None of the stalks shave perfectly, so you end up with varying thicknesses of asparagus strips, each of which cook slightly differently. Some will caramelize, while others will still retain a slight bite to them.
The beauty of pizza is that it is infinitely adaptable and this recipe is no exception.
While I used buffalo mozzarella cut into rounds and a sprinkle of Parmesan, I was tempted to throw on some bits of goat cheese as well and will probably try that next time. A squeeze of lemon would have been nice at the very end. Like it spicy? Toss on some red pepper flakes.
Lahey's version uses some rather fancy cheese, quail eggs and shaved black truffles.
But even with slightly less-glamorous ingredients, this dish is delicious.
P.S. This crust was so good that I made another batch about four days later. Yes, I have a pizza problem.
Shaved Asparagus Pizza
Crust, from Jim Lahey's My Bread
- 3 ¾ cups (925 mL) bread flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons (12 mL) instant yeast
- ¾ teaspoon (3 mL) table salt
- ¾ teaspoon (3 mL) plus a pinch sugar
- 1 1/3 cups (325 mL) room temperature water (about 72F or 23C)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 mL) olive oil for pans
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Add the water and, using a wooden spoon or your hand, mix until blended, at least 30 seconds. Cover the bowl and let sit at room temperature until the dough has more than doubled in volume, about two hours.
Using a bowl scraper or rubber spatula, remove the dough from the bowl onto a floured work surface. Gently form into a rough ball. Then divide the dough into two halves (to make his two 13×18 – 33×45 cm – pizzas or, do as I did, and divide into three parts for round pizzas) spacing them 4 inches (10 cm) apart, and cover with a moistened kitchen towel for 30 minutes.
Pizza, from Smitten Kitchen:
- ½ pound (250 g) asparagus
- ¼ cup (50 mL) grated Parmesan
- ½ pound )250 g) mozzarella, cut into rounds, shredded or cubed
- 2 teaspoons (10 mL) olive oil
- ½ (2 mL) teaspoon coarse salt
- black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 500F (260C).
Using the rough end as a handle, hold the asparagus against a cutting board and use a vegetable peeler to make long strips. (I got anywhere between two to five shavings from each stalk depending on how thick they were or how easily the peeler went through the asparagus. They were also of varying thicknesses, which is fine.) After shaving, you should just be left holding the rough end, which can be discarded. Repeat with all of the asparagus.
In a bowl, toss together asparagus, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Roll out or stretch dough to create 12" (30 cm) round. (Lahey calls for it to be stretched by hand, but I used a rolling pin and did only a bit of hand stretching after getting the dough on the pan.) Brush olive oil on pan and transfer dough.
Sprinkle on Parmesan, then add mozzarella. Top with asparagus strands.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until crust is golden, cheese is melted and asparagus is roasted.

I only have one thing I should not even be bothered by, when they say "I will pray for you"; it seems to trigger something inside me, I feel offended by it, I want to smack them in the mouth, it is fortunate for them that I do not condone violence, but man do I grind my teeth when I hear them say it.
So come on, let us know what gets under your skin and how you feel about it?
Views: 872
The Earth is 6000 years old... dinosaurs co-existed with humans. You know, rather than eating them into extinction.
A few times a theist has complained about me, taking the Lord's name in vain. I had to think about this for a few seconds, and decided that if the lord is offended, and all powerful, why does he need a pushy theist to come to his aide?
A few times a theist friend has attempted to prove, to himself, that I am his inferior, because I did not give him the desired responce to a question, that he 'knew' the answer to. I normally do not play this game with friends, because we are friends. So my come back is rather more kind than normal, 'you are a nice guy, why be mean? Or 'I don't know everything.'
They got exactly what they wanted, is that a curse? Maybe.....
All of existence, deep time, the formation of life, human history, and your big toe, are all important only in relation to the 'Life of Christ and his teachings'. In the end the universe becomes unimportant, but christ's teachings are raised above festering slime and the wonders of existence. In the end, it starts looking like the worst form demented vanity, flavored with deceit, and sustained by ignorance.
Knock, knock...
We just stopped by to share the bible with you...
Here's how it is...the young woman with you can come in...you two old broads will have to wait out here on the porch...
they left...go figure. :)
Yes shock and awe, shock and awe!
I wonder what JW's do after their day in the streets? Compair notes, exchange 'do not return' suggestions, hold a special 'kill and send to hell' prayer group?
What really gets under my skin is when theists play the false-outrage card and say things like 'you should't be so aggressive and strident', merely for expressing my view. They have no evidence or arguments so they fall back on sanctimonious offence taking. I think they see Jesus as a close-real-life-family-member, therefore any criticism is an emotional attack and emotion will always override evidence.
The sound they make when they still breathe gets under my skin. They need to stop that.
I laughed so hard my gut split open and a small christy fell out and ran around the room shouting "Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord"...so I shot him...he won't be bothering you anymore. :)

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting two very special people in my life and business. For the last 10 years I've worn many hats in my business. From trainer to marketer- product developer- copy writer- editor-customer service and everything in between. I outsourced a little bit but mostly handled everything myself.
You see, I thought If I didn't do it all myself, I wouldn't be a good business owner or example to my clients or students.
Being a Good Business Owner Doesn't Mean Doing it All Yourself
Boy was I wrong about the way I was handling my business. The whole reason behind leaving my job and starting my business was to travel and be with my daughter. As I got busier, that freedom started to drift.
The time I wanted to get back from my corporate job was slowly replaced with more "stuff" working in my business, not on it. What good was doing myself, Brian, or Hanalei to allow "stuff" to take all of my attention. That is not the Freedom-preneur life- it's the corporate life- the one I left behind.
Outsourcing is The Answer to Growing Your Business
As much as I loved the 4 Hour Work Week idea of outsourcing, I still couldn't give away the control or trust that someone else could do as good of a job as me. That is a misguided thought for sure. No one will do the job the same way I will do it, but that doesn't mean they won't do an incredible job.
The Outsourcing Company I Trust
Earlier this year, I was introduced to Jenny Jordan whose company, Need a VAspecializes in creating space for busy entrepreneurs. They offer outsourcing solutions and build teams for organizations to become more efficient.
I now work on my business not IN my business. I now spend my time with my family and my clients and not spend my time on organizing my day but building and growing my business.
I had the pleasure of meeting my assistant Larcie Martinez Tulao for the first time in person, and our "Sexy Blog Artist" Mark Ryan Holanda. These two are the heart and soul of my organization, they keep me organized through the day and take care of our clients needs. There is a huge amazing team behind them that is a full support system that I now cannot live without.
What I've Learned From Outsourcing
There are several things that I have learned from outsourcing and the biggest thing is that developing a team has helped me grow in ways I couldn't have imagined. Now that I allow people that are specialists in their areas handle different aspects of running the Unstoppable Family, I'm able to hone in more on my own specialty.
With the time I've regained, I can help more people. I'm even better now at what I do than I have ever been before.
The moment I brought on a team of others to help was the moment I was able to meet the needs of my clients. That is what it is all about- helping others reach their business goals.

I return, I return after floods, famine, and a terrible deluge of events in my life that pulled me away from this. I also come back to it after having really REALLY worked hard on several games, including several table top rpgs.
I return to this more enlightened, and with a better foundation to begin building on it again. I doubt anybody is still interested in this, but in any case, I'm returning to tackle it. I'm gonna tackle Hyperborea first and foremost, and try to tackle it in a better manner than I did before.

The Easy GPS Kit 1 for FT90x is a ready-to-use hardware & software bundle to get you started in developing a GPS device using an FTDI FT900 processor programmed in BASIC.
The bundle consists of the following items at a discount:
The FT90x family of microcontrollers can execute instructions from Shadow RAM, which enables them to operate with zero wait states at up to 100MHz. This translates into a processing speed of 310 DMIPS. The FT900 series takes advantage of that speed with an integrated camera interface. This board has a camera built in so you can experiment with that, along with many other modules and connectors, such as Ethernet, USB, CAN, audio, TFT touch screen, microSD, navigation switch, etc.
Two mikroBUS sockets enable you to add Click Boards easily (the GPS Click board in this kit would plug into one of these sockets). There are more than 100 different Click boards available, so if the EasyFT90x board doesn't have the interface or peripheral you want to work with, there's a good chance that you'll find a Click board that can add what you need.
The board features nine Input/Output PORT groups with IDC10 headers, buttons and LEDs.
No external programming hardware is required, for the board contains a built-in mikroProg fast USB 2.0 programmer and hardware debugger.
There are more than 160 accessory boards you can find among the mikroElektronika Accessory Boards category and its subcategories that contain add-ons that plug into the IDC10 and mikroBUS interfaces on the EasyFT90x board.
The module communicates with the EasyFT90x board via UART or I2C, or you can connect it to a PC via mini-USB.
Each compiler license includes free upgrades and tech support for the lifetime of the product. The software features a Live Update service so you can get new features and improvements instantly. It is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.
The compiler is designed to be smart and efficient, so you can rely on it to do the hard work. It features four levels of optimizations that can reduce your code size up to 20 percent.
Please review the mikroBASIC Order Page for a detailed list of features, documentation, and a downloadable demo version.

Psychologists have done studies that suggest we subconsciously adopt the qualities of fictional characters we read about or see in movies. That's not a problem if those characters are smart, ethical, highly motivated people whose ideals are similar to ours. But if the heroes of the stories we absorb are jerks who treat others badly and make messes wherever they go, our imitative urges may lead us astray. Right now is a crucial time for you to be extra careful about the role models you allow to seep into your imagination. You're especially susceptible to taking on their attributes. I say, be proactive: Expose yourself intensely to only the very best fictional characters who embody the heights you aspire to reach.
Build a plush orphanage in Minsk
Feel sorry for a devious lawyer
Rebel against your horoscope
Give yourself another chance
Write your autohagiography
Play games with no rules
Teach animals to dance
Trick your nightmares
Relax and go deeper

Mock your fears

Sing love
Who are my heroes? My Grandma is my biggest hero. She always told me I was beautiful and I could be anything I wanted to be. She supported me as an artist, musician, she made me get involved in gymnastics and dive team, she taught me how to sew and cook, and she always loved me unconditionally. She is my biggest hero and I miss her dearly.
I'm not a big country fan but the song fits!

A finely crafted museum celebrating Eric Gill's creative cohort is an exercise in references, writes Jay Merrick. Photography by Brotherton-Lock
Take one architect of phenomenological inclinations. Let him loose on an ensemble of tired old buildings at the edge of a beautiful village green in Sussex. Give him a brief that requires a revived museum celebrating the once local lives of Eric Gill and the artists and craftsmen of the Guild of St Joseph & St Dominic. And then stand back, and expect to experience a meaningful narrative of light, space, materials and atmosphere.
Adam Richards Architects' design of the Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft duly gives us a vessel-cum-Veseley crammed with historical, religious, and contextual references. The intelligence of Richards' content is admirable. But do we experience the references subtly, or rather too instructively, or perhaps not at all?
If the latter, no matter: the aesthetics alone will be pure heaven for those visitors of the Duchy Originals or Farrow & Ball persuasions, though it must be said Richards has certainly delivered an engrossing Wunderkammer worthy of the priapic genius who was always ready to brandish 'man's most precious ornament'.
Adam Richards has arranged his subtextual narrative in a series of internal tableaux that are meticulously framed, yet also faintly tense. This equivocal effect is heightened by the equally precise sense of materiality and making that most obviously characterises the architect's response to the brief, which was to revitalise the original Ditchling Museum, housed in former school buildings between 1985 and 2012.
His scheme for the Heritage Lottery-supported project renovated the listed 18th-century cart lodge on the edge of the green, inserting a link building to connect this small barn to the new-build segment containing the introductory gallery and collections store. This segues into the compaction of old school buildings that contain the main galleries, reading room and print gallery. The school rooms at the north end have been remodelled as an education centre. A key environmental issue was insulating and ventilating the small gap between damp brick-and-flint walls and the new gallery walls.
The buildings are continuous but, externally, read as a collage of different forms and styles: cart lodge, archaic; the link building, an almost detail-free hummock of locally made Keymer red tiles. The introductory gallery, sheathed in black metal with sharply angled decorative overlaps, is a nod to the glossy black mathematical tiles on Cotterlings, a house across the green, but also references Victorian railway architecture: Gill travelled to London from the nearby Hassocks station.
The idea of making, in the medieval guild sense, is essential to this scheme
The idea of making, in the medieval guild sense, is essential to this scheme, and Richards' approach recalls a phrase in The Anathemata, a complex poem by the notable early Modernist poet and artist David Jones. The Welshman, who worked with Gill in the unremarkable schoolhouse in the 1920s, described the truly creative person as a 'form making proto-maker' – the giver of new meaning to original things.
And it is those original things – the art and artefacts of the Guild of St Joseph & St Dominic – that Richards and his project architect, Sam Dawkins, have rendered anew, with a fastidious spatial and material artifice that, in the gallery segment, is superbly illuminated by an ecclesiastical approach to natural light – a Catholic approach, in fact: Gill and Co were converts.
Richards' control over the architectural narrative is immediately obvious: one enters the well-designed café and reception area in the barn through an extruded, splayed wooden portal. This slightly forced moment of compression is released on entering, across a slate-over-limecrete floor, by the opened-up roof space of the barn. The old timbers are a pleasure to behold: original things, precursors to the finer crafts that await.
Turning left into the link section, there are stairs up to the introductory gallery and a short lift unit, partly concealed behind a raised and deliberately 'presented' slab of engineered wood. The dark slate underfoot signifies sleep and death, explains Richards, leading to 'a line of light, a glimpse of the introductory gallery, like a glimpse of something in a Baroque church. You're intrigued'. Having ascended, there is a nicely contrived view through the window above the lift to the village churchyard.
The introductory gallery is filled with light because of the full-height glazed central section of the west-facing gable-end. The single, large display case has the same truncated gable-end section as the Guild's tiny 1921 church on Ditchling Common, which was demolished after being irreparably damaged by the 1987 hurricane. The big vitrine, with engineered wood shelving, contains artefacts such as posters typographed by Gill – 'Lenny Nosworthy, Painter' – and objects including ox vertebrae dressed as a priest.
The display case, suggests Dawkins, is 'a bit like a shroud to the exhibits, like the black exterior of the gallery, another shroud'. The massive engineered wood beam above the portal leading to the main galleries through the original eastern brick end-wall of the school is likened to a proscenium arch.
We experience very skilful manipulations of light in relation to volume and section
The design of the main gallery is elegant, and the exhibits are well-lit and engrossing. And here, we begin to experience very skilful manipulations of light in relation to volume and section – and, of course, there are yet more signifiers.
The gallery's Guild Room is a symbolic chapel, with the same truncated gable-end section used as a two-sided display unit. It's charcoal-grey, softly haloed with light from the window behind it. This skilfully arranged room deals with craft, social engagement and faith: Richards says the table-like vitrine has 'an almost altar-like relationship with the black wall'. There's no almost about it, surely. From the window, one can see the grave-mounds in the churchyard.
But it is the print gallery, containing the original Edwardian Stanhope press operated by Gill's printer, Hilary Pepler, that delivers the most surprising effects of light and space in the museum – and, for the first time, a compellingly numinous formal and spatial quality.
The room's section recalls a Byzantine chapel. By chance, unnoticed by Richards, the base of the altar-like press has an outline very like the room's section. Natural light washes into the gallery at its gable end, where the press sits, through two vertical windows facing north and south. The only other notable architectural features are two pairs of slate-clad timber columns. The phenomenological coding does not entirely explain the room's remarkable atmosphere, which seems counter-factual (or perhaps counter-metaphysical) to the relative simplicity of its form and details.
'In the prepared high-room,' wrote David Jones inThe Anathemata, 'he implements inside time and late in time under forms indelibly marked by locale and incidence, deliberations made out of time, before all orogenesis on this hill at a time's turn, not on any hill but on this hill.' On the edge of this green, at this time's turn in Ditchling, how apt that the architectural cult fictions prompted by Adam Richards' encounter with locale and incidence are only a few steps away from Hilary Pepler's grave under a scrawny old yew swagged with pagan mistletoe.

Precious is such a funny, double-edged word. I must say this building reminded me of visiting Leslie Martin in his wonderfully civilized new-in-old simplicity outside Cambridge and eating oatcakes off beautiful Leachish plates and sipping not quite identically coloured tea out wonderfully elegant simple porridge-hued mugs. But, instead of the Romish mumbo-jumbo with the Gill gang, at least there was Ben Nicolson on the wall.
I urge visitors not to be feart of intellectualised phenomenological Anathemata, and just enjoy Richards/Dawkins sensual enjoyment and achievement of little things that matter, in their lovely new building.

The Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation awards the Harry Middleton Fellowship in Presidential Studies
Feb 21, 2006
(Austin) The Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation announces that Brendan J. Doherty, currently a Ph.D. candidate in political science at the University of California, Berkeley, and a Centennial Center Visiting Scholar at the American Political Science Association in Washington, D.C., has been awarded the Harry Middleton Fellowship in Presidential Studies. Doherty will receive a $5,000 fellowship and will begin his archival research in spring 2006. His project title is: An Electoral Connection? The Geography of Presidential Attention.
I am particularly honored to receive a fellowship named after Harry Middleton, both because of his contributions to the Johnson administration and because of his leadership at the LBJ Library, which has helped generations of scholars and citizens to better understand the American presidency, says Doherty.
Doherty's interest in studying the presidency was sparked in 1980, when he was a six-year-old boy living in New Hampshire. I was fascinated that presidential candidates came to visit our little town to campaign in the primary on one particularly busy day, Ronald Reagan spoke at the high school, and Jerry Brown spoke at the church down the street, explains Doherty.
A graduate of Dartmouth College, Doherty was Class President from 1993-1996 and received a cum laude degree in geography. While in college, Doherty studied in Mexico, and that experience inspired him to join the Peace Corps, where he was a Municipal Development Volunteer in Honduras from 1999-2000.
This is the second honor associated with a presidential library Doherty has received. In 2005, he was awarded the O'Donnell Research Grant from the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation.
The Harry Middleton Fellowship was created to support scholarly work in presidential studies and to recognize Harry Middleton's contributions to the presidential library system. Middleton was a speechwriter for President Johnson and was the Director of the LBJ Library and Museum for thirty years. In addition, he assisted President Johnson in preparing his memoirs and has published several of his own books.
While Middleton Fellows are able to study at any presidential library in the National Archives system, they will develop a portion of their work from original research done at the LBJ Library.
Grant applications for the 2006 Fall term must be received by March 15; applications for the 2007 Spring term must be received by September 15, 2006.

Her name is Vincy
6:58 PM | Posted by 6060 | Edit Post
Vincy is really sweet, her hair has 2 different colors, and her eye chips are so beautiful! I am glad there is no orange eye chips in it! I don't know why, it just makes me feeling creepy! :P Her hair is extremely silky, I think her hair quality is the best among my Blythes! I took this picture when it was a sunny day, 65F, and old boy I was so sick of the rainy days, finally we got a sunny day! How could I miss that and not go outside? Apparently my 2 girls felt the same way, Vincy and Katie both liked to climb trees outside in a nice weather day! :)

Veronica Lace Blythe (VL)
9:40 PM | Posted by 6060 | Edit Post
Finally she has arrived to my P.O.BOX! I was so happy to get the package from the postwoman and I waited patiently and deboxed her after dinner! The doll herself is beautiful, silky hair, gorgeous eye chips. Her clothing is also very pretty good looking! However, when I looked carefully I found dirt on the doll legs, I cleaned her up at once. Then I tried to put the stock socks on her, it was broken the moment I put them on her feet. I was so unhappy about that. Yes, I wanted my doll perfect in every way, am i asking too much? Then the shoes, they were a little bit big I think, at least one is bigger than the other. One kept falling down from her foot even though I put on her sock! I remember when I got Mod Molly (MM), it wasn't the same way, the stock clothing was so beautifully made, the doll didn't have any dirt on it, it's perfect. Now I am wondering if the packaging and clothing qualities are decreasing from Blythe company because all they wanted are sales, not the quality!!

Pumpkin Earrings
8:19 PM | Posted by 6060 | Edit Post
These pumpkin earrings are very lovely, and very detailed, they are handmade by Lin from SilverFairyCreations.etsy.com. I haven't been wearing earrings for a long time, may be since I have kids. You know, holding a baby and wearing a pair of lovely earrings just don't go together. I forgot how long ago I had my last pair of earrings on. This year, finally my kids are older, they don't play with mommy's jewelry anymore! They have their only plastic one! :P I am able to wear earrings again! Hurrah! This pair of earrings are handmade, not heavy, and importantly I think it is a very fun jewelry to wear in Fall! Don't you think? If you a pair of pumpkin earrings on a woman who is with 2 girls walking on the street, then you know probably that's me! LOL

I'm not sure who gave it a low rating; that's just so pitiful because it really is an awesome meal--it's worth feeding to company! My dad who usually doesn't doesn't like to eat a lot, ate 2 servings! He said we should make it again.
Mar 1, 2013
When some friends of us invited us over to our house for supper, they made this. It's SOOO good!! She used Grands biscuits instead of homemade (those biscuits are amazing!) and instead of cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup. I'm making this for company next week and tripling the recipe. :)

Parham House
1130am and on the deer spotting walk - very informative with Jim from Parham estate heading up the event giving us lots of information about the "rutting season". This is the time of year when male deer are driven by the urge to reproduce. From October to early November you will hear groaning and belching sounds coming from the woods together with the sounds of clashing antlers as males show off their virility to potential mates.
We stayed well sheltered under the old oak trees whilst we listened to the talk, keeping quite still to spot the estate deer...
Parham House Grounds
Back to base and at 1pm on the fungi foraging tour - a couple of "chaps in the know" advising us what you can and can't eat from Beefsteak fungus, to Horn of Plenty, Hedgehog Fungus and more!
Beefsteak Mushroom!
I have to say its a good job we had an expert to advise since at first sight this Beefsteak mushroom that I picked did not look appetizing but I was reassured that it will be delicious...pan fried beefsteak mushroom with beetroot and horseradish salad anyone?! I will still be cautious and only pick when with an expert - but it was a very interesting talk and one can go on advanced courses which is something I will definitely do in the future!
Beefsteak Mushroom!
The weekend of wildlife spotting didn't end there! On my trip to Climping on Sunday I caught a cheeky little peacock running out of the reception at Balliffscourt Spa...

Megan Wants A Millionaire contestant, Ryan Jenkins, has been officially charged with murder of his wife, Jasmine Fiore. Ryan, who is still on the run, is suspected to have fled to Canada by foot. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Fiore's body was found Saturday morning stuffed in a suitcase which was thrown in a dumpster in Buena Park, CA. According to TMZ, Jasmine's teeth and fingers had been removed.
Tmz is also reporting that Ryan has a violent past. He was convicted in 2005 for assaulting a girlfriend, and also recently had a complaint filed against him in June, for allegedly striking the now deceased Jasmine.
51 Minds – the company that produces "Megan Wants a Millionaire" — admits it was not aware that Jenkins had been convicted of assaulting a girlfriend when he was cast on the show. Part of their statement is below –
Obviously, if the company had been given a full picture of his background, he would never have been allowed on the show. The company did have in place what it thought was a thorough vetting process that involved complete background checks by an outside company for all contestants on its shows. Clearly, the process did not work properly in this case."

Life doesn't work that way. Things happen, diagnoses are made, people die, and we have to move on. We can stay in our jammies and bed for a week if we want to but the calendar marches on and seconds will give way to minutes and hours. Nothing will ever reverse and go back like it was. Ever.
We have to face that. We can't go back and change our lives and alter the decisions we made that culminated in this moment. We can, and do, say that we wish we could go back and change things that 20/20 hindsight has revealed would have been good to change. But the world won't let us and God has yet to make that option available to any of us.
We can visit those times and people in our dreams, memories, and prayers. But we are still faced with facing the present. As it is and not as we wish it could be. And God, in His infinite wisdom, gives the blueprint for moving on. No matter what the past was, no matter what the present is, no matter what the future will be, He tells us how to live in the right now for the right now is all we really have.
In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, Matthew chapters 5-7, we are told how to live in any situation and since this needs no help from me, I give you that from The Message, followed by a link to the passage where you can change translations. Let it speak to you where you are right now. Squirming is a desired result. So is redemption, change, transformation.
Matthew 5
You're Blessed1-2 When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. This is what he said: 3"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.
4"You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.
5"You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought.
6"You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat.
7"You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being 'care-full,' you find yourselves cared for.
8"You're blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
9"You're blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's when you discover who you really are, and your place in God's family.
10"You're blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God's kingdom.
11-12"Not only that—count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don't like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble.
Salt and Light13"Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage. 14-16"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.
Completing God's Law17-18"Don't suppose for a minute that I have come to demolish the Scriptures— either God's Law or the Prophets. I'm not here to demolish but to complete. I am going to put it all together, pull it all together in a vast panorama. God's Law is more real and lasting than the stars in the sky and the ground at your feet. Long after stars burn out and earth wears out, God's Law will be alive and working. 19-20"Trivialize even the smallest item in God's Law and you will only have trivialized yourself. But take it seriously, show the way for others, and you will find honor in the kingdom. Unless you do far better than the Pharisees in the matters of right living, you won't know the first thing about entering the kingdom.
Murder21-22"You're familiar with the command to the ancients, 'Do not murder.' I'm telling you that anyone who is so much as angry with a brother or sister is guilty of murder. Carelessly call a brother 'idiot!' and you just might find yourself hauled into court. Thoughtlessly yell 'stupid!' at a sister and you are on the brink of hellfire. The simple moral fact is that words kill. 23-24"This is how I want you to conduct yourself in these matters. If you enter your place of worship and, about to make an offering, you suddenly remember a grudge a friend has against you, abandon your offering, leave immediately, go to this friend and make things right. Then and only then, come back and work things out with God.
25-26"Or say you're out on the street and an old enemy accosts you. Don't lose a minute. Make the first move; make things right with him. After all, if you leave the first move to him, knowing his track record, you're likely to end up in court, maybe even jail. If that happens, you won't get out without a stiff fine.
Adultery and Divorce27-28"You know the next commandment pretty well, too: 'Don't go to bed with another's spouse.' But don't think you've preserved your virtue simply by staying out of bed. Your heart can be corrupted by lust even quicker than your body. Those leering looks you think nobody notices—they also corrupt. 29-30"Let's not pretend this is easier than it really is. If you want to live a morally pure life, here's what you have to do: You have to blind your right eye the moment you catch it in a lustful leer. You have to choose to live one-eyed or else be dumped on a moral trash pile. And you have to chop off your right hand the moment you notice it raised threateningly. Better a bloody stump than your entire being discarded for good in the dump.
31-32"Remember the Scripture that says, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him do it legally, giving her divorce papers and her legal rights'? Too many of you are using that as a cover for selfishness and whim, pretending to be righteous just because you are 'legal.' Please, no more pretending. If you divorce your wife, you're responsible for making her an adulteress (unless she has already made herself that by sexual promiscuity). And if you marry such a divorced adulteress, you're automatically an adulterer yourself. You can't use legal cover to mask a moral failure.
Empty Promises33-37"And don't say anything you don't mean. This counsel is embedded deep in our traditions. You only make things worse when you lay down a smoke screen of pious talk, saying, 'I'll pray for you,' and never doing it, or saying, 'God be with you,' and not meaning it. You don't make your words true by embellishing them with religious lace. In making your speech sound more religious, it becomes less true. Just say 'yes' and 'no.' When you manipulate words to get your own way, you go wrong.
Love Your Enemies38-42"Here's another old saying that deserves a second look: 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.' Is that going to get us anywhere? Here's what I propose: 'Don't hit back at all.' If someone strikes you, stand there and take it. If someone drags you into court and sues for the shirt off your back, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it. And if someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously. 43-47"You're familiar with the old written law, 'Love your friend,' and its unwritten companion, 'Hate your enemy.' I'm challenging that. I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that.
48"In a word, what I'm saying is, Grow up. You're kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you."
Matthew 6
The World Is Not a Stage1 "Be especially careful when you are trying to be good so that you don't make a performance out of it. It might be good theater, but the God who made you won't be applauding. 2-4"When you do something for someone else, don't call attention to yourself. You've seen them in action, I'm sure—'playactors' I call them— treating prayer meeting and street corner alike as a stage, acting compassionate as long as someone is watching, playing to the crowds. They get applause, true, but that's all they get. When you help someone out, don't think about how it looks. Just do it—quietly and unobtrusively. That is the way your God, who conceived you in love, working behind the scenes, helps you out.
Pray with Simplicity5"And when you come before God, don't turn that into a theatrical production either. All these people making a regular show out of their prayers, hoping for stardom! Do you think God sits in a box seat? 6"Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.
7-13"The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They're full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don't fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this:
Our Father in heaven,
Reveal who you are.
Set the world right;
Do what's best— as above, so below.
Keep us alive with three square meals.
Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.
You're in charge!
You can do anything you want!
You're ablaze in beauty!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
14-15"In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can't get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God's part.
16-18"When you practice some appetite-denying discipline to better concentrate on God, don't make a production out of it. It might turn you into a small-time celebrity but it won't make you a saint. If you 'go into training' inwardly, act normal outwardly. Shampoo and comb your hair, brush your teeth, wash your face. God doesn't require attention-getting devices. He won't overlook what you are doing; he'll reward you well.
A Life of God-Worship19-21"Don't hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten by moths and corroded by rust or—worse!—stolen by burglars. Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it's safe from moth and rust and burglars. It's obvious, isn't it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being. 22-23"Your eyes are windows into your body. If you open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light. If you live squinty-eyed in greed and distrust, your body is a dank cellar. If you pull the blinds on your windows, what a dark life you will have!
24"You can't worship two gods at once. Loving one god, you'll end up hating the other. Adoration of one feeds contempt for the other. You can't worship God and Money both.
25-26"If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.
27-29"Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? All this time and money wasted on fashion—do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them.
30-33"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
34"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
Matthew 7
A Simple Guide for Behavior1-5 "Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults— unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging. It's easy to see a smudge on your neighbor's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, 'Let me wash your face for you,' when your own face is distorted by contempt? It's this whole traveling road-show mentality all over again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face, and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor. 6"Don't be flip with the sacred. Banter and silliness give no honor to God. Don't reduce holy mysteries to slogans. In trying to be relevant, you're only being cute and inviting sacrilege.
7-11"Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn't a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we're in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn't think of such a thing. You're at least decent to your own children. So don't you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?
12"Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. Add up God's Law and Prophets and this is what you get.
Being and Doing13-14"Don't look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don't fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention. 15-20"Be wary of false preachers who smile a lot, dripping with practiced sincerity. Chances are they are out to rip you off some way or other. Don't be impressed with charisma; look for character. Who preachers are is the main thing, not what they say. A genuine leader will never exploit your emotions or your pocketbook. These diseased trees with their bad apples are going to be chopped down and burned.
21-23"Knowing the correct password—saying 'Master, Master,' for instance— isn't going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills. I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, 'Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.' And do you know what I am going to say? 'You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don't impress me one bit. You're out of here.'
24-25"These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.
26-27"But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards."
28-29When Jesus concluded his address, the crowd burst into applause. They had never heard teaching like this. It was apparent that he was living everything he was saying—quite a contrast to their religion teachers! This was the best teaching they had ever heard.
Amen. May we be grateful!

Monday Masterclass: The Wars of the Roses, Part Two
This week I continue my summary of the Wars of the Roses, a civil conflict in 15th century England between the House of York and the House of Lancaster, on which George R R Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is somewhat based.
The First Battles
The first fight of the Wars of the Roses was the First Battle of St Albans (in Hertfordshire, north of London), which occurred on 22 May 1455. Here, Richard, Duke of York, faced the Lancastrian King Henry VI and beat him. The Yorkists found Henry in a tent, wounded and lapsed into his mental illness. Richard set himself up, once again, as regent, and gave Margaret of Anjou care of her royal husband. Richard, of course, wanted himself to succeed Henry; Margaret wanted her and Henry's son, Edward to succeed.
When Henry recovered the next year, he relieved Richard of his post as regent and sent him back to command English forces in Ireland. The country was beset by various problems. The Archbishop of Canterbury tried to resolve the York/Lancaster feud by holding a Grand Council, but it had little long-term effect.
After an attack on foreign forces by Richard Neville – Earl of Warwick, commander of the English garrison in Calais and a Yorkist – York, Warwick and another noble, the Earl of Salisbury were summoned to London, but didn't go, fearing arrest. When the Yorkists tried to marshal their forces the Lancastrians intervened, resulting in a series of battles in 1459 and 1460. The upshot of these fights was that York was defeated and the Lancastrians had control of England.
Shortly afterwards, Warwick invaded England from Calais and defeated Henry VI at the Battle of Northampton (in the East Midlands). Richard returned from Ireland and took the throne, to the surprise of even his own supporters. After producing genealogical evidence supporting his claim, Parliament narrowly defeated his attempt to become king, but made him Protector of the Realm and Henry's heir with piece of legislation called the Act of Accord.
Queen Margaret took her young son, Edward, to Scotland, where she agreed to marry him to James II of Scotland's daughter in exchange for an army.
The Duke of York returned to northern England to quell Lancastrian resistance, but he was killed at the battle of Wakefield; his son Edmund and the Earl of Salisbury were executed by the Lancastrians afterwards. The Act of Accord meant that the heir to the throne was now York's eldest son, Edward.
Edward beat Jasper Tudor at the Battle of Mortimer's Cross. An atmospheric phenomenon called parhelion or sundogs occurred, where ice crystals in the air made it seem like there were three suns. Edward bolstered his forces' courage by telling them they were the Holy Trinity.
The Earl of Warwick was defeated at the Second Battle of St Albans by Margaret's army. The fleeing Yorkists left behind Henry VI, who was found sitting under a tree. Queen Margaret had the seven-year-old Prince Edward decide how to execute Henry's Yorkist bodyguards. Her forces looted the Home Counties and were denied entrance to London.
Margaret's army moved north. York's son, Edward, Earl of March, joined forces with Warwick and entered London, where he was acclaimed by the populace. Parliament declared him King Edward IV. The Yorkists then gathered a huge army and followed the Lancastrians north.
The Battle of Towton, near York, on 29 March 1461 was the largest of the Wars of the Roses. Both sides agreed that it would be decisive battle and 20,000-30,000 men died in the course of the fight. The Yorkists won and Henry and Margaret fled to Scotland.
Edward of March was crowned in June 1461 and ruled for ten years, during which time the last of the Lancaster-supporting nobles were defeated – often after long sieges – Henry was captured once again and held in the Tower of London, and England and Scotland resolved their differences, forcing Margaret to leave for France.
The Last Battles
The Earl of Warwick became increasingly discontented during this period. He had been arguing that the king should marry a French princess to cement an alliance with France, but Edward IV had already married Elizabeth Woodville in secret. When this became public, the Woodvilles became more favoured than the Nevilles (Warwick's family) at court. Edward would also not allow his brothers the Duke of Clarence and the Duke of Gloucester to marry Warwick's daughters.
In 1469, Warwick, allied with the Duke of Clarence defeated Edward IV at the Battle of Edgecote Moor. Having captured the king, however, Warwick allowed him to return to London, the two men apparently reconciled. After putting down further rebellions, Edward IV declared Warwick and Clarence to be traitors and they fled to France.
Louix XI suggested that Margaret and Warwick – formerly mortal enemies – ally with each other. Margaret once again betrothed Prince Edward – this time to Warwick's daughter Anne – and Warwick invaded England in 1470. As Edward IV was in northern England quelling rebellions, Warwick was able to easily enter London and parade Henry VI as the restored king. Warwick's brother, the Marquess of Montagu, turned sides and turned on Edward IV – forcing Edward to flee to Holland. The Yorkists were declared traitors and Lancastrians returned from exile.
At the behest of Louis XI, King of France, Warwick declared war on Burgundy; Charles, Duke of Burgundy and brother of king Edward, lent his support to Edward IV in another invasion of England. Clarence changed sides again and Edward captured London. At the Battle of Barnet, north of London, Warwick and Montagu were killed.
Queen Margaret attempted to join her supporters in Wales, but was defeated at the Battle of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire. In the fight, Prince Edward was also killed; as a result, Henry VI was murdered shortly afterwards. Edward IV was restored to the throne on 11 April 1471.
Edward died suddenly in 1483, but on his deathbed he named Richard of Gloucester Protector of England. Thus began a period of intrigue between Gloucester and Edward's queen, Elizabeth Woodville. Elizabeth took refuge with her younger children. Meanwhile, Edward V, the 12-year-old heir, was taken from his stewards (who were later executed) and imprisoned in the Tower of London. The Archbishop of Canterbury persuaded Elizabeth to also give up her younger son, the 9-year-old Richard.
Richard of Gloucester had Parliament agree that Edward and Elizabeth's marriage had been illegal and that therefore the two young princes were illegitimate. Gloucester was named King Richard III. The two boys subsequently disappeared – their fate being one of the most famous controversies in English history.
The Duke of Buckingham, who had previously supported Richard, rebelled, declaring his support for the claim of Henry Tudor to the throne. The Lancastrian Henry's claim was tenuous, but he was descended from Edward III. Buckingham's rebellion ultimately failed.
Buckingham's supporters rallied to Henry Tudor's cause. Henry invaded England from France, by way of Wales, where he was unopposed, and fought Richard III's forces at the Battle of Bosworth Field in the East Midlands. Richard was killed during the battle and Henry became Henry VII.
He married Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV, and had many of his remaining rival executed – a policy that was continued by his heir Henry VIII. During Henry VII's reign there were further uprisings, a couple involving pretenders who claimed to be heirs who were either dead or in custody, such as Perkin Warbeck, who claimed to be Richard, Duke of York, the younger of the two princes of the Tower. None of them succeeded.
The Tudor period saw the end of the Medieval era and the beginning of the Renaissance. The power of the nobility in England was much curtailed as rebels and claimants continued to be killed off and their military powers stripped from them. Even Henry VIII's break with the Roman Catholic church was tied into the Wars of the Roses and their effects.
The Wars of the Roses were a period of complex intrigues, battles, claims, counter-claims, alliances and betrayals – all of which are some of the best features of A Song of Ice and Fire. There are few direct analogues between the history and the fiction. However, some incidents seem like direct parallels.
Queen Margaret's promising of her young's hand in marriage in exchange for military aid has obvious similarities to Catelyn Stark's betrothal of her son Robb to one of Walder Frey's daughters. Catelyn's rather deranged sister and nephew, Lysa Arryn and Robert, also bear some resemblance to Margaret of Anjou and Prince Edward – especially the episode where Margaret makes the young boy decide how some Yorkist knights should be executed.
The ruthlessness of the civil war and the various executions of captured nobles is well reflected in scenes from the books such as the beheading of Eddard Stark (whose first name is surely no coincidence) by the boy king, Joffrey.
On the other hand, the land of Westeros is more monolithic than England. The Seven Kingdoms is a unique place in its world – the lands to the east, dubbed Essos, are exotic and alien; the lands to the north of the Wall are even more forbidding and strange. England, by contrast, was surrounded by various nations with similar cultures, histories and interests as itself – France and Burgundy to the south, Ireland to the west, Scotland to the north.
And, of course, there were no dragons in Late Medieval Europe.
What are your thoughts on the Wars of the Roses and their reflection in A Song of Ice and Fire? What do you think of the relationship between history and fantasy literature? Post your comments for the whole world to see.

This short film depicts Africville, a small black settlement that lay within the city limits of Halifax, Nova Scotia. In the 1960s, the families there were uprooted and their homes demolished in the name of urban renewal and integration. More than 20 years later, the site of the community of Africville is a stark, under-utilized park. Former residents, their descendants and some of the decision-makers speak out and, with the help of archival photographs and films, tell the story of that painful relocation.
We should be very proud of the fact that although we were stolen and brought to a strange land. And still we formed our own independence from them to ensure or freedom and peace. Not just the cotton fields. You forget they where very selective who they toke from each village in Afrika. Thats why you have over 101 Black Inventers. That made America what it is today. So much credit has not been given to these great people stolen. They where not slaves. They where forced into this situation. So you Afrikans from home that don't want to agree that the so-called negro is not your true brothers and sisters from Afrika, Shame on your thinking. And why is that. Many scholars have proven you wrong. "Divide and Conquer". This is a very uplifting film and should be shown in a Learning Institutions of the World. Nana Obrafo Yaw Asieduileayan, 19 Sep 2012

1970 Mustang Parts
Few changes were made to 1970 Ford Mustang parts, after another redesign the previous year. The biggest change affecting 70 Mustang parts was the termination of the partnership between Ford and Shelby, resulting in the disappearance of the GT350 and GT500 models and all of the related 1970 Mustang parts. The Mustang GT also disappeared for the 1970 model year.Overall, there were only several minor changes to 1970 Ford Mustang parts. The largest change to 70 Mustang parts regarded a redesigned grille with built-in headlights and the addition of horizontal scoops into the area where the headlights were previously. Otherwise, only a few appearance tweaks were made to 1970 Mustang parts, along with the discontinuation of the 390 V-8. Approximately 191,000 Mustangs were sold in 1970.
However, 1970 Mustang buyers still had lots of options to choose from when specifying their 1970 Ford Mustang. Both the Boss 302 and Boss 429 remained available for the 1970 model year, as did the popular Mach 1. With these models all still in the 1970 Mustang lineup, buyers had numerous performance models to choose from. The 1970 Ford Mustang also had a new 351 Cleveland V8, which replaced the previous 351 Windsor engine and had more power than its predecessor.
CJ Pony Parts offers 1970 Ford Mustang parts from many of the most popular vendors, such as Cardone Select, Dynamat, Ididit, Ken Harrison, Ron Morris, and Walker.

Salted Caramel Sauce might be my new favorite condiment. We drizzled it over Flourless Chocolate Cake for Easter, and then I poured the leftover caramel into little mini pastry shells and baked these delicious tarts.
But let me backtrack a little to last week, when I visited my sister for a few days. It had been a year and a half since I'd seen her, and it was so fun to get to spend time with her and my three beautiful nieces. With all us girls in the house, my brother-in-law was definitely outnumbered!
One night we made chocolate cupcakes, a new recipe that Laura wanted to try, and while they didn't end up looking very pretty, they sure tasted good. Everyone got to help mix and measure, except the baby of course. Instead of frosting, we just topped them with a little whipped cream. We also had a girls night with face masks and cucumber peels, ice cream, wine (which we drank from mason jars), and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Then the rain came, and it drizzled and poured throughout the day. It's been a long time since I've seen it rain that hard. We almost got some rain in Colorado yesterday - the skies were gray and overcast, and some menacing storm clouds hovered so close. I was looking forward to a rainy night, snuggled on the couch with Jamie. But it only lasted for about 5 minutes and then the clouds drifted away again.
On Sunday, we all hugged goodbye and I headed home. As much as I knew I would miss them, I looked forward to sleeping in my own bed again and taking a shower without toys in the bathtub. :) And I missed Jamie after 5 days apart. It was wonderful to come home to him, a clean house, red roses, and a delicious dinner of halibut with sauteed mushrooms, salad, white asparagus, and one of my favorite things to eat, steamed artichoke with aioli.
Since he was so sweet to make me such a nice dinner, I made something sweet for him on Wednesday. There was a lot of drooling over the Salted Caramel Sauce in my Easter dessert post, and since I wasn't sure how long the leftover caramel would keep in the fridge, I decided to make mini caramel tarts so that not a drop of caramel would go to waste.
The simple buttery pastry was flaky and tender and the crunchy almonds added a delicious contrast to the hot caramel filling. If I had pecans on hand, or bittersweet chocolate, I might have used those instead of the almonds, but really you can use whatever you have handy and whatever you like.
I sprinkled each tart with a little coarse sea salt, and with the salty, sweet, buttery, crunchy, creamy combination, these tarts were little bites of heaven.
Salted Caramel Almond Tarts
printable recipe
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 1-2 tablespoons ice water
- 1/3 cup chopped almonds
- 6 tablespoons Salted Caramel Sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon Fleur de Sel or coarse salt
Note: Any type of nuts you would like to substitute for the almonds, such as hazelnuts, walnuts or pecans would work. Chopped bittersweet chocolate or chocolate chips could also be used instead of the nuts for a salted caramel chocolate tart.
Preheat the oven to 350. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray 4 individual tart shells with non-stick spray.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Scatter the butter over the flour and cut in with a pastry cutter so that mixture is crumbly, but there are still visible pieces of butter remaining. Add the water, a little at a time, working it in quickly with your hands, just until you're able to gather the dough together into a ball. Use a knife or bench scraper to cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Press into the bottom and sides of the tart shells.
Divide the almonds between the tart shells, then pour the caramel sauce (warm it slightly if needed) over the almonds.
Bake for 25 minutes, just until the visible edges of the crust are pale golden. Caramel will be bubbly and liquid, but will set up quickly as the tarts cool. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes, or until caramel is set, then turn tarts out onto a serving plate. Sprinkle with the Fleur de Sel and serve warm or room temperature. (Note: If you reheat the tarts later, do it carefully! The caramel heats very quickly in the microwave.)
Yields 4 servings.
