Published March 1, 2013.
Our simple method saves time, intensifies flavor, and even yields a beet-enriched sauce.
Roasting beets concentrates their flavor but can take more than 90 minutes—way too long for a weeknight side dish. Boiling might shave off time, but one taste of the earthy, sweet crimson cooking liquid proves that this convenience exacts its own toll.
We wanted a more streamlined approach to bringing out the best in beets.
We tried halving the raw beets before placing them in a large saucepan with about a quart of water to cover (turning a blind eye to any consequential flavor loss for now). This small investment in prep work cost less than a minute but shaved 10 to 15 minutes off the hour of cooking time typically required for whole beets. As an added benefit, the cooked beet halves cooled to handling temperature more quickly than whole beets and shed their peels just as easily under the pressure of my thumb and the gentle friction of a paper towel.
Then we had to face the flavor lost to all that cooking water. We reduced it to about a tablespoon and used it to build a dressing for the beets. Unfortunately, reducing a quart of water took upwards of 25 minutes. We decided to cook the beets in less liquid to begin with and switched from boiling to braising, relying on a small amount of water in a tightly covered pot. The beets finished cooking in the same time period and were just as tender, but now the leftover braising liquid reduced in just 5 minutes flat.
To play up the earthy texture, we added a tablespoon of light brown sugar and 3 tablespoons of vinegar to the beet reduction. Just 1 more minute of cooking gave the resultant sweet-and-sour sauce enough body to coat the peeled wedges. Thin slices of shallot underscored the savory depth, while toasted nuts, aromatic citrus zest, and fresh herbs added just enough contrast without overshadowing the robust beet flavor we had worked so hard to preserve.

| You can follow John Moores 2014 on Twitter |for further updates.
All UK-based artists who work with paint are invited to submit work to be considered for the John Moores Painting Prize 2014 and be in with the chance of winning the £25,000 first prize or one of the four £2,000 runner up prizes.
In an exciting shift from previous years, the final exhibition, which forms a major strand of the Liverpool Biennial, will open as a summer show on 5 July 2014, with the winners announced in September 2014.
The works are selected anonymously from an open submission by an independent jury (to be announced shortly).
First held in 1957, the John Moores Painting Prize is the UK's best-known painting competition and is named after Sir John Moores (1896 - 1993), the founder of the prize. The competition culminates in an exhibition held at the Walker Art Gallery every two years, which forms a key strand of the Liverpool Biennial.
The John Moores exhibition is held in partnership with the John Moores Liverpool Exhibition Trust, and although the appearance of each exhibition changes, the principles remain constant: to support artists and to bring to Liverpool the best contemporary painting from across the UK.
John Moores Painting Prize China launched in August 2010. Applications were received from across China and 28 artists were selected for the inaugural exhibition. Find out more about the John Moores Painting Prize China here|.
"The John Moores is one of the most prestigious art competitions in the UK and winning the Junior Prize in 1961 is one of the achievements of which I am most proud." - Sir Peter Blake, artist.
"It was exhilarating to discover, in the course of viewing so much of the work submitted for this year's John Moores (2012) competition, that in Britain the art of painting is alive and well and bursting with ideas." - Alan Yentob, BBC.
"...elegant, coherent and some really impressive work." - Tim Marlow, Sky Arts.

World Blood Donor Day 2013 – Give the gift of life.
Donate Blood
World Blood Donor Day will be celebrated on 14 June 2013.
The focus for this year's global campaign – the 10th anniversary of World Blood Donor Day – is Give the gift of life. Donate blood. World Blood Donor Day was instituted by WHO Member States during the 2005 World Health Assembly. It is an opportunity to thank blood donors for their life-saving donations; promote voluntary unpaid blood donation; and convince ministries of health to commit to achieving self-sufficiency in safe blood and blood products based on 100% voluntary unpaid blood donation. It is also an occasion to highlight stories from people whose lives have been saved through the gift of blood donation, as a way of motivating regular blood donors to continue giving blood and people in good health who have never given blood, particularly young people, to begin doing so.
WHO Global Forum for Blood Safety and WHO Global Blood Safety Network
WHO Blood Transfusion Safety Programme (WHO/BTS), in collaboration with WHO PAHO/AMRO, WHO/PAHO Country office in Brazil, and with the collaboration and generous support of the Brazilian Government, convened the WHO Global Forum for Blood Safety and Global Blood Safety Network in Florianopolis, Brazil on 6-10 May 2013. WHO has established the global forum and the global network as a mechanism to foster collaboration, enhance communication and information exchange among key international experts, institutions, organizations and other stakeholders working on blood safety issues. The forum and the network meet once in two years to deliberate on specific topic/s relevant to the global blood safety concerns.
Blood Donor Selection: Guidelines on Assessing Donor
Suitability for Blood Donation
Blood transfusion services have the responsibility to collect blood only from donors who are at low risk for any infection that could be transmitted through transfusion and who are unlikely to jeopardize their own health by blood donation. A rigorous process of donor selection, to assess the suitability of prospective donors is therefore essential to protect the safety and sufficiency of the blood supply, and safeguard the health of recipients of transfusion and blood donors themselves, while ensuring that suitable donors are not deferred unnecessarily. The WHO guidelines, Blood donor selection: guidelines on assessing donor suitability for blood donation have been developed to assist blood transfusion services in countries that are establishing or strengthening national blood systems for the selection of blood donors.
Self-sufficiency in safe blood and blood products based on VNRBD
Blood and blood products saves lives and improves health of patients who require transfusion. There are great variations on the age distribution of patients transfused between developed and developing countries. For example, in Denmark, the most frequently transfused patient group (76% of all transfusions) is over 65 years old. In Benin, most transfusions are among children under five (65% of all transfusions) followed by females aged between 14 and 45 (17% of all transfusions).
The World Health Organization has been at the forefront of the movement to improve global blood safety since 1975 as mandated by successive World Health Assembly resolutions. The objective of the WHO programme on Blood Transfusion Safety is to ensure provision of universal access to safe, quality and efficacious blood and blood products for transfusion, their safe and appropriate use, and also ensuring blood donor and patient safety.
WHO supports its Member States through policy advice and technical guidance, advocacy, mentoring, technical support, technology transfer, capacity building, twinning, networking, and facilitation of bilateral and multilateral funds.

Wallington singer Rosanna Connolly supports X Factor winner Joe McElderry
5:00pm Wednesday 19th September 2012 in Freetime By Sophia Sleigh, Reporter
A singer from Wallington is supporting X Factor winner, Joe McElderry, in two performances.
Rosanna Connolly will join Mr McElderry as he celebrates his fourth album, Here's What I Believe today in London.
The pair met through Teenage Cancer Trust at a fundraiser dinner earlier this year.
Rosanna, who has now recovered from cancer, was originally misdiagnosed with swine flu until she was so poorly that she could not even sit up.

This is a good heavy duty rug pad. We have hardwood floors and I purchased a very nice shag rug from overstock.com and was worried that the weight of the rug would be too much for the pad to hold it in place. This was not the case. When I put the rug on the pad, neither rug nor pad budged! Highly recommend.
It's a relatively thin pad, but seems to do the trick. It grips the floor well without sticking to the floor. If you need to move the rug, you need to pick it up and move this pad separately because it does keep the rug from sliding ... which is one reason we bought it. No odor which is good. Quick shipping time. Great customer service.
It is easy to customize the size of this rug pad with a pair of scissors. It anchors an area run atop a marble entry and there has been no problem with the rug and/or pad sliding.
Good pad, good price. (I can't get out of this review without writing more than 50 characters... how much can one say about a rug pad?)
Works great! Easy to cut to size with regular utility scissors.

I found the totalwar total realism mod to be quite satisfying.The screens I posted were from the Extended Greek Mod and that particular unit is expensive to train and takes 30 turns to recruit, so it's balanced for it's high stats, I think.
In the un-modified game, I think it's justified. Without high valor, armor, and weapon upgrades, they are good, but not too overpowering. The unit itself is a highly dumbed down abstraction of the spartan warrior system and works to simulate the way the unit works as a hole. I think, though, that giving them 2 hitpoints is a bit much, as no matter who you are, getting gored by a spear is going to put you down, but then, why give Generals multiple hitpoints? I don't think I'v ever had to face Spartans, though, so I'm not sure. I always save them for Siege towers, or as my reserve force when I play as the Greeks.
I like my Romans Pre-Marius, because once that trigger fires BAM my ultra-useful Hastati and Princeps (rarely build up to Triari in time) are un-replacable, and instead I get ultra-lame Auxilia, except in one or two higher-tier cities where I probably can get the Early-Legionnary Cohorts. Also, I mourn the loss of my Equites for Roman Cavalry and Auxilia Cavalry, and 2 turns to build Legionary Cavalry? No thanks.
Once I start rocking the Legionnary Cohorts, then I begin to thank Mr. Marius. I generally ignore the Praetorian and Urban Cohorts, as I ignore almost anything with a more-than-1-turn build time, with the exceptions always being Druids and Berzerkers.
Now, for Barbarian Invasion, I made the Celts into a playable faction, and I must say, they are extremely powerful. Once you take Southern Britannia, you're sitting on a giant money-machine, and from there, you just take your pick on any number of small-garrison Roman towns/cities, or you can just pick off the Saxons. Their Gallowglass unit is excellent, but heavily vulnerable to archers due to their defense being mostly skill, rather than armor and shield.
I like Alexander, but the game is messed up with 2 turns = 1 year. I'm advancing at what I think to be an aggressive pace, captured a couple of cities in West Perisa...but Alexander is already 27...he was only 33 when he died! There's no possible way I can finish at his pace, and I don't see how you're supposed to when it takes 2 turns to train a phalanx unit.

The excuses are endless: "I've never used winter tires before, why start now? All-seasons tires are just as good. Winter tires cost more than they're worth. I drive a 4x4 so don't need them. I'm from Alberta."
While it's true Alberta, despite its long harsh winters, has one of the weaker rates of winter-tire use in Canada — a fact that leads the province to record the No. 1 highest rate of increase in auto insurance claims over the winter, according to Aviva Canada — it's also true that about 30 per cent of drivers across Canada still see winter tires as optional, as though it's perfectly reasonable to gamble with personal health, liability, and the likelihood of crashing one's car.
If you're one of the 30 per cent, go into the kitchen and grab four pieces of bread. Position those four pieces on the floor in the approximate place where the tires on your vehicle would be. Stand back and observe. Those four pieces of bread translate to the same four squares that keep your 2-tonnes of machinery adhered to the road.
Even if you have all-wheel-drive, are you sure you want to take chances with those four tiny patches? Now add some butter to the side of the bread on the floor. That's roughly the same affect of not just adding a layer of snow on the road, but also cold weather, which turns any all-season tire (no such thing) into something that becomes so hard when the outside temperature fails to climb above 7C that it's ability to stick to the road falls off sharply. At minus 20, your tires will be hard as hockey pucks — not the thing you want when trying to stop behind the school bus on a cold January morning.
Winter tires (they could be renamed Cold Weather tires) remain pliable, thus grippy, in cool weather and therefore retain their traction. Of course, there are many types of winter rubber, and while any winter tire is better than none at all, several manufacturers make excellent winter grips — Pirelli, Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone, Yokohama and Toyo to name a few.
For years I was a Michelin X-Ice user for my wife's Honda Odyssey minivan, but this year installed a set of Ultra Grip Ice tires sent to me by Goodyear for review. These are relatively new and have what Goodyear calls Winter Reactive Technology (WRT) — a combination of four factors designed for varying types of weather and road conditions.
WRT tires marry a soft compound with a directional tread to shed water; they also use two-dimensional blades in the centre of the tire for traction in snow and ice, and three-dimensional "treadlock" technology on the shoulder of the tire to help with handling. WRTs come in 45 sizes for cars, minivans, pickup trucks and SUVs.
In the dry, these tires have, like most winter tires, some additional noise, or hum, over summer tires, but in my testing they grab extremely well in the corners and don't allow the van to float. When it snowed eight centimetres overnight recently, these tires truly proved their worth: A hill on my street that is often not climbable once it gets packed with snow, was conquered with not one bit of wheel slip.
Stopping in the snow with the WRTs was nearly as good as in the dry, and cornering never left me nervous. In fact, on the first snowy day with these tires, I was often driving too fast, being overconfident for the conditions because I was able to get such good traction over ice, snow and slush. The Ultra Grips genuinely live up to their name. I won't need to worry about my wife tooling about icy roads this winter.
Sure, $500-$800 may seem like a lot for a good set of winter tires (and it's smart to use separate rims), but think of the cost of not having them: Most winter tires, including Goodyear's Ultra Grips, stop an average of 40 per cent better than all-season tires — a distance that could mean the difference between avoiding a collision or ending up in one.
It's easy to make excuses and be convinced an accident won't happen, or that snow tires are a luxury. But if an accident does occur, even a minor one, there's the costs of the insurance deductable, potential property damage, diminished value to the vehicle, potential physical injury, not to mention the total inconvenience and waste of time that an accident eats up.
Frankly, a set of winter tires is far simpler — and vastly safer.
Former investigators are pushing to reopen the probe...

Johnno new Pommie boss
17 Apr 2008
Martin Johnson has been named as England manager until the end of 2011, while Brian Ashton has been axed.
Johnson's appointment was the RFU's worst kept secret, and he was officially announced as the boss last night. The terms of Johnson's contract have been ratified, and he will have full control over team selection and the appointment of coaches – while Ashton isn't part of his plans and will step down with immediate effect. Johnson will only only take over from July 1 as his wife is expecting their second child at the time of England's tour to New Zealand. Rob Andrew will have this managerial role on tour, with coaches Mike Ford and John Wells retained.
"I am passionate about the England team and delivering success for it," the former World Cup-winning captain said in a statement.
"While I cannot take up my position until July 1 for personal reasons, I will be working closely with Rob and the England coaching team on selection for the Barbarians match and the New Zealand tour, as well as selecting the first senior elite player squad of 32 under the new agreement between the RFU and Premier Rugby."

17 Apr 2008, 09:54 amShould be interesting seeing how England go with Jonno at the helm. If he fails, we all know why! But best of luck to him.
17 Apr 2008, 09:56 amI think Jonno has been quite vocal about keeping the England team English. Plus Jake wouldnt take a team where he doesnt have final say on team selection.
17 Apr 2008, 09:58 amPoms to get bashed by the superior rugby team…AB!! Then in 2009 they going to get bashed even more with the Lions tour.
17 Apr 2008, 10:02 amAs always…I'll wait and see how he does then judge him. he certainly has the credentials. they've treated Ashton poorly though, offered him his old job back at the rugby academy, effectively a demotion and then try and gloss it over with pithy statements in the press. Perfidious Albion.
17 Apr 2008, 10:03 amYou mean Pommos to get bashed by Abb… oops, almost said a no-no.
17 Apr 2008, 10:07 amAs for keeping everything English in the England rugby set up…well Mr Johnson, that is xenophobic and illegal in England. You arent even allowed to say it!!! You arent allowed to discriminate against other groups or nationalities, particularly minorities. I suspect Martin Johnson is going to be a victim of his own big mouth, anyway as I said…time will tell. Must say as a player and when it comes to being dirty he makes Bakkies look like he is in kindergarden, this ouk was a dirty player!!
17 Apr 2008, 10:15 am4man…its only in south africa where being a "south african" means black. In other countries being "english" or "italian" means that you are a citizen.
17 Apr 2008, 10:29 amWell this Bok supporter is smiling. An English Carel Du Plessis. Zero coaching experience and given the top job – a proven formula for failure. Many a hiding for the English coming up. PdV gaan Engelse gat skop jong
17 Apr 2008, 10:41 am#17 Has this guy ever coached any team before? Not that I know of.
I think England is in for a couple more hidings.
17 Apr 2008, 11:18 amAll the successful Rugby men at the top of international set-up's certainly have been Managers. They set the tone of the squad, the higher ideals, the tatics possibly and the spititual minds of the players.
They are complimented by skilled tracksuit proffessionals all with expertise in an area of the game.
These maestroes (spelling) have been Kitch Christie, Clive Woodward, Jake White, Graham Hendry, and there are a few others….. You don't need a couple of seasons running in a tracksuit witha few forlorn club players under a floodlight to say you have the experience.
Matin J has the player experience at the highest club level. He was very nearly lost to England in the early years having emigrated to New Zealand and making the young All Blacks he would almost certainly have worn the full Silver Fern if it wasn't for his Kiwi born wife who wanted to travel ensuring on them getting on a Jumbo bound for the UK.
He is highly qualified in the Player management role as a team captain when his stance, words, and spirit saw England through to the 2003 RWC against an Australian side threatening to pich the Cup.
He is a skilled orator at player level generally when you need to use the lower gutteral stuff not heard ever on television…. and I am sure we will find out, not afraid to use those same words to the arrogant old farts of the RFU. Expect fireworks.
He is a mans man and exactly what England needs at this moment -
17 Apr 2008, 11:20 am18
Not a single professional team to speak of. Like Carel Du Plessis may have dabbled with a low level amateaur club team – nothing more. English Premiership coaches must be knocking their heads against the wall (just like over provincial and super rugga coaches did)
17 Apr 2008, 11:44 ammmm not to sure if this will acually work. Yes he was a great captian etc but has zero coaching or mangering experience. The one thing in his favour is his player experience, having lost out in RWC95/99 he had learnt what it meant to be the best and stay the best to win RWC2003.
17 Apr 2008, 12:39 pm"While I cannot take up my position until July 1 for personal reasons "…
Since when is not wanting to witness your Team getting it's aarse kicked, "personal reasons"
17 Apr 2008, 13:48 pmCane he is only using a Euphemism!
17 Apr 2008, 13:49 pmWell i reckon this sends a clear message to White. It will be a tropical day in England before a foreigner gets appointed as Head Manager.
17 Apr 2008, 15:33 pmSuspect that the Poms will repond very well to Johnson. That's OK though, the Rugby World needs a team to share an intense dislike of (other than the convicts, of course). Almost starting to feel sorry for my English brother-in-law… almost.
Any bets on England being back in the Top 2 come 2011?
17 Apr 2008, 16:23 pmThe English press seem over the moon that Johnson is in the job, while also being rightly critical of the way Ashton was treated.
I just don't get it. How do you go from captain to manager in 4 years without actually coaching? We might as well get Joost to choose the Bok team and employ the coaches – it's that ridiculous.
17 Apr 2008, 16:52 pmMJ is regarded in England in much the same way that Pienaar is/was in SA post '95. He is a great leader and motivator and has done some coaching of his own. It seems that he building a coaching staff of up to 13 and will co-ordinate it in his own fashion.
19 – He did play U-21 for NZ…….
17 Apr 2008, 17:32 pm27. Have you ever seen the British Lions DVD when Jonno was captain? Legendary leadership.
17 Apr 2008, 19:06 pmSeems to me that "The Beetle Browed Enforcer" is back and Saffas are nervous! I think Bakkies would **** himself if MJ the took off his tie and decided to sub himself onto the pitch!
17 Apr 2008, 21:04 pmEight-or-nine-coaching-offers-Jake. That's what he said. The English job is clearly not one of them.
He wants the job. He is the World Cuyp Champions coach. He defeated England 4 times in one year.Why is it that nobody wants Jake. He unashamedly presented himself for the English job.
In fact: nobody seems to want him.
Whatever anyone may say: Jake is not regarded very highly as a coach in the rugby world.
If there is one country where he was supposed to fit in with his onedimensional dinosaurus rugby brain, then England was the one. They would rather opt for the inexperienced Jonno or Mike Catt.
Sorry Jake. Maybe you are your own worst enemy.
17 Apr 2008, 23:03 pm30
Yep, Mettie i share those sentiments. Can't see any of the major nations employing Jake. I would not higher any bloke who lamblasted their previous employer in the manner Jake did to SARU. Rightly or wrongly, as the employee you shut your mouth so as to remain attractive to the market. Sorry Jake, maar jou mond was te groot …
18 Apr 2008, 02:21 amAnd then all of a sudden the poms are at the top of the world again!!!!
18 Apr 2008, 03:52 am22
His wife (a keewee) is due to have a child that month. Johnno does not fear NZ.
18 Apr 2008, 11:17 amGreat article in The Mail today……….
Pathetic All Blacks still in denial over World Cup flopSix months after the event, New Zealand's review into what went wrong with their World Cup campaign arrived yesterday with an earth-shattering conclusion into why they came unstuck against France in the quarter-final. Nobody thought to try a drop goal.
Any boy, or girl, in any under-13 team anywhere in the British Isles could have told them that. Instead, the Kiwis spent £40,000 on an investigation and then proceeded to reappoint Graham Henry regardless of its findings.
Damage limitation: Henry is still in the New Zealand job
Sadly, the 47-page document published on Thursday could not resist another pathetic swipe at the English referee Wayne Barnes, as if one forward pass was the sole explanation for the All Blacks making their earliest exit from any World Cup.'Factors outside the control of the All Blacks contributed to the loss against France,' said the review. 'The performance of the referee and the touch judges had a significant, adverse impact on the All Blacks.'
Far from acknowledging Barnes for what he is, at 28 the best young referee in the game, the review even makes a laughable attempt to blame him for the team's collective brainstorm in the final minutes.
Page 30 of the report states: 'The coaches did send a message out to the team with 10 minutes to go to set up for a drop goal. The on-field decision was made to continue with the tactic of attempting to score a try or get a penalty.
'When making those decisions, the players were unaware of a vital piece of information, that the All Blacks had not been given a penalty in the entire second half and were, therefore, probably unlikely to get one, notwithstanding their pressure, possession and territory.'
Did it not occur to them that Mr Barnes, clearly, found no reason to award one? They would have been better off saying less about that and more on an infinitely more credible reason for their failure, Henry's rotational selection policy which, the report concedes, 'did not become sufficiently consistent closer to the World Cup to allow combinations to develop'.
Have your say

Hey guys,
So I did some research on a few websites about the Disney Magical Express, and I have a few questions.
1 - One website showed a list of the airlines that the DME works with. It said that inbound domestic airlines were not restricted, but outgoing has Alaska, Delta, American, Continental, Jet Blue, Northwest and United. I'm flying with Southwest, so does that mean that I can't use DME back to the Orlando airport?
2 - Also, how reliable is the service? Like do I just head straight towards the bus without even glancing towards baggage claim?
3 - The site from #1 (I'm not sure if I'm supposed to name the site or not...) also stated that the service runs from 5am-1pm? So if I land at 5pm, I'm screwed?
Thanks in advance for the replies.

"This is a sensible approach-food is fuel"
I have lost weight in the past with extreme lowcarb, which works like crazy, but also left me with thinned hair. So that left me concerned about this approach. However, the foods eaten on this plan are not very limited. You really don't need to count carbs, but be conscious of the total calories, and get your calories from nutrient dense food.
So going into the plan, this is what I discovered: When you start eating fibrous, nutrient dense foods, you end up with little room in your diet for empty calories, and little desire for them as well, which is very helpful. If in my day I eat a big apple, a carrot, a salad, some lean chicken, a little oatmeal, a slice of cheese and whole wheat crackers, black bean soup...you end the day quite satisfied.
and you do lose weight. I'm down 17 pounds so far.
Some parts of the audio were more interesting than others, which is the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. I docked the performance stars for pronunciation mistakes, especially inconsistent ones.
It's a very worthwhile book, and if you are ready to give up empty foods or have already done so, this can extend your knowledge of how to eat, and maybe more importantly, how not to eat. Eat to fuel your body and life, and not for comfort, to fill emotional voids, etc.
"This is one of my faves!"
I loved this story. It gripped me, seriously. I cared about all of the protagonists, and worried over their fates. I actually would get to my destination and keep listening with my mp3 player in the car, to find out what happened next. And esp. if you get it in this 4.95 sale, you will be bagging a deal. It's a wonderful story, don't miss out.
"11 hours long and I'm on my second listen."
If 'New Thought' authors appeal to you, and Tolle, Dyer, and Chopra resonate with you, give this book a try. I am thoroughly enjoying it. I don't feel as though I have to agree with every word and interpretation the author makes to benefit from the upbeat, encouraging ideas. If you want to make friends with your mind, this book is a step in that direction...maybe a very big step if you are ready for it.
"I expected a lot from this book, it came through"
I took away a couple of important 'big ideas' that I had long suspected but couldn't understand because I didn't have the reference point I needed. The most important point for me was how to know when to look for your own hidden agenda in situations. That is going to be so helpful. The book is also encouraging by making change seem possible, and failure understandable and even part of the process of growth.
I feel positive and strong and capable and inspired after listening to this book. I will be playing this one frequently. Liberation seems not only possible, but inescapable. If you even faintly suspect you might like this subject matter, just do it, buy it, it's a fabulous book.
"On my second listen!"
I managed to miss every seeing this in print, but I'm loving this book even on my second listen. I don't usually listen to fiction books twice, but I truly loved this story.
Can't pick one!
It was a balanced presentation, no over-acting really, just a well-told story well-read.
I laughed several times, sometimes there was a bit of that human absurdity that we just have to turn a wry grin at, recognizing our own foibles. The sad parts were touching, but not to the degree to really pull tears.
Just really glad I got this book!
"Course Students will adore."
I actually didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I am, when I listened to the narration, I was not pleased with the voice. I thought it dry and unenthusiastic. But 10 hours in, I can say Mr. Stewart was an excellent choice. His pacing is excellent, his enunciation clear.
The Course can be daunting, and I truly believe being able to listen as well as read will be helpful to any serious Course student.
"this is a good book"
However, I highly recommend that anyone who wants to be happy, buy 'To Love is to Be Happy With.' Actually, if you go to the website of the author's institute, you can read the entire book online.
However, you still need a copy. I would love to have that book available here on Audible, though I think I have it memorized! It is actually possible to forget how to be unhappy, and this book is one that can show you how!
"Get the print book but this is good as well"
You will want to be able to skip around in the book and look at the illustrations and slow down for the exercises. But the audio is excellent for 'sounding down' the information, and staying inspired to understand your emotional messages, and to keep processing in 'love and trust.'
"Get this book."
I've studied the sorts of topics this book addresses for nearly 20 years, and this book touches on many of the most important issues, and it will convince you, that you are in charge, you are the 'CEO' of your grey matter, and you can influence your choices by simply changing them, and by reframing them as well. If you want to know how to rewire your subconcious without really understanding the subconscious, this book will give you the tools. I've already listened 3 times, and I know I will listen many more.
"Wanted to like it..."
I am happy I only spent 5 dollars in the sale, and not a whole credit. I looked forward to a nice long literary story.... I just hung in there because I was able to listen during slow time at work. The narrator elongates her syllables in a way that I don't enjoy at all, and the story barely held my interest...and the suddenness of the ending would have infuriated me if I had been one bit emotionally involved in the tale.

3. | No Hetero | ||
A phrase, similar to "no homo", made when a sexual innuendo is implied but not meant to be in any way sexual. (Utilized between opposing genders) Girl: Thanks so much for sending me the powerpoint!
Guy: No problemo, anything for you Sally, no hetero ;] |
1. | no hetero | ||
A phrase used, in jest, to cancel an inadvertently made, ambiguously heterosexual statement. Some guy: Her ass is mine. No hetero!
2. | No hetero | ||
When a gay person says something straight but the gay person doesn't want to give off a straight impression because he/she is not straight. Ggay dude: You are a good looking girl No Hetero
Girl: Are you gay? Gay dude: Yes that is why I said no hetero. |
4. | No Hetero | ||
Said after someone says something that sounds unintentionally heterosexual. Her ass is mine. No Hetero!
5. | No Hetero | ||
When two platonic friends of opposite sexes partake in a potentially romantic or sexually stimulating situation, uttering the phrase to negate any romanticism/sexuality. Guy: (accidentally slaps girl's ass) Oh, I'm sorry.
Girl: It's ok. No Hetero. |
6. | No Hetero | ||
To dispel any sexual or intimate connotations in a previous statement. Much like "no homo", but used in context with the opposite sex. Can be used when a male is speaking to a female, or vise versa, and does not wish to infringe on existing relationships, or if the listener is too ugly to express intimate intentions, etc. Josh: You have some huge tits (no hetero)
Kelly: Oh gr8, thanks! Trace: I love you (no hetero) Rachel: hahahahahha i like that its definitely an improvement on the no homo |
7. | No Hetero | ||
Background: When people call something or someone "So Gay", they are often considered to be covering up their own latened homosexuality. These people also do gay things and then claim "No homo", making it ok. By this reckoning, one can assume that if a person were to call things "So Straight" all the time, they are merely reinforcing their own heterosexuality. Hence the term "No Hetero" Frank: Hey, hows it going Steve? *slaps steve's ass*
Steve: I'm pretty good man. *slaps back* Frank: Hey! No hetero! Steve: Yeah man. No hetero. |

RuPaul's Drag Race: Wrestling's Trashiest Fighters
Last week, a RuPocalypse gave us creepy looks from Sharon Needles and not really anyone else. Jiggly Caliente was given a second chance, while recent DUI-recoveree Alisa Summers was sent sashaying away. We will not miss her.
One second is spent mourning the loss of Alisa and discussing how Lashauwn needs to speak up before SheMail arrives. It is cryptic, as always, and then Mr. Ru gives them this week's mini challenge. The girls get 30 minutes to sculpt an ass out of various padding materials. The results are ridiculous, and all of their new butts are like lumpy and stuff.

Primitive Christianity Revived, Again
In the 'Introduction' to 'The Second Period of Quakerism' by William Braithwaite, Rufus Jones posits that the origins of Quaker Quietism are to be found in the writings of Robert Barclay. The view of Jones is that Quakers were receptive to the teachings of Guyon and other continental Quietists because the basic teachings of Quietism are to be found in early Quaker works, particularly Barclay, prior to the Quaker community encountering continental Quietism. Jones writes, "[I]t is a plain and patent fact that Barclay's formulation is charged and loaded with the essential conditions and tendencies of Quietism." (Page xli)
Jones is harsh in condemning Barclay's presentation. Jones sites as an example of Barclay's Quietism a section of Barclay's 'Apology', Proposition V and VI, section 17. I decided to look it up to see what it had to say.
Here is the essential passage, " . . . concerning the manner of this Seed or Light's operation in the hearts of all men, which will show yet more manifestly how we differ vastly from all those that exalt a natural power or light in man; and how our principle leads, above all others, to attribute our whole salvation to the mere power, spirit, and grace of God. . . I say . . . that as the Grace and Light in all is sufficient to save all, and of its own nature would save all; so, it strives and wrestles with all, for to save them; he that resists its striving, is the cause of his own condemnation; he that resists it not, it becomes his salvation: so that in him, that is saved, the working is of the grace, and not of the man; and it is a passiveness, rather than an act . . . So that the first step is not by man's working, but by his not contrary working." (Pages 128 & 129, Quaker Heritage Press Edition)
The issue is whether one can become open to the inward light through an act of will, through some kind of effort. Barclay's view is that the inward light is always working within, but it can be blocked by human willfulness; therefore the first step is to be passive in the presence of the light so that the light can work.
I agree with Jones that this is an excellent summary of the view of Quietism. In contrast with Jones, though, I find myself highly attracted to this way of looking at the inward light that dwells in all. This is why Quaker Faith and Practice emphasize stillness and silence; because stillness and silence are a good step in the direction of setting aside our own will, of not 'contrary working'.
I find Barclay's formulation inspired and inspiring. In some ways it reminds me of passages in Taoist works where the Taoist Sage 'does nothing and therefore everything is accomplished.' I appreciate the way Barclay connects grace with this inward light. And I am deeply appreciative of how Barclay explicitly labels Quaker practice as a kind of 'passiveness'. I appreciate this because it is a difficult notion for people to accept. And I think it has become progressively more difficult among modern Quakers who often take an aggressively activist stance.
Personally, I more and more see Quietism as the heart of Quaker Faith and Practice. And I see in passages like this one from Barclay the possibility of a more contemplative Quaker Faith. A Faith more open to grace, more removed from the world, and more open to the grace of the inward light.
Thy Friend Jim
Perhaps to recover this understanding, it would be better to speak more of stillness than of quietism.
Thank you for sharing that passage from Barclay.
Quietism gets a bad rap in this day and age. We forget that John Woolman was a product of the Quietist period. His strength was in listening and surrendering to God's will.
My meeting has been passing through a period of strife. I think we would do better to wait and listen rather than striving.
Friend Doug: That's a good suggestion. It would serve well by shifting the discussion to activism vs. stillness rather than activism vs. quietism. I don't think Barclay uses the term 'quiet' or 'quietism'. He seems to prefer the word 'passive' which I like because it is strikingly contrary to the activist and engaged perspective of many Quakers today.
Friend Stephanie: Quietism does get a bad rap these days. I think there are several reasons. First is simply the tenor of the times. Inwardness is not valued. And if it is valued it is valued is a means towards an activist, reformist, end; not as an end in itself. It is instructive to me that I have found on the web both Protestant and Catholic sites that regard Quietism as in some way heretical or at least deviant theologically. I have yet to find a contemporary scholar or theologian offer a positive assessment or an apology for the perspective of Quietism.
I am also beginning to suspect that Jones played a pivotal role in the rejection of Quaker Quietism. I'm a great admirer of Jones, so this isn't a slam. But Jones seems to have had a particular animus towards Quietism; his comments about it are harsh. And Jones during his long and influential life was able to put forward that perspective.
In contrast, when I first discovered Quaker Quietism it was like stumbling on a refreshing stream. The writings from this period I find inspirational and the perfect antidote to the clamor of our contemporary world. I find in this period the most articulate teachings on why we should turn within and how to do it. I honestly believe that modern Quakers would benefit greatly from reconnecting with this stream of Quaker Faith and Practice.
Thy Friend Jim
The original "Quietists" were Catholics, forming a movement their contemporary Church authorities viewed with suspicion, as with anything that might be a counterweight to the hierarchy's claim to authority. Viewed through Protestant theologies that cast scriptures as the ultimate authority, they seemed suspect for similar reasons.
Where I find the theory of this movement unsatisfactory-- is that proponents seem to have defended their views against the charge that 'The Light' was "merely a 'natural' power" by emphasizing the idea that 'It' and 'a person's mind/heart/spirit' were entirely disjunct. The process had to be seen as "passive" and "unwilled" because people weren't seeing the personal self as included in its own cleansing; they would talk about 'inward' matters but make them sound as if it were someone else who'd wanted God to work with-&-through them.
I hope we can move in the direction of seeing our personal selves as entities which God has always intended to function individually-- and which can be harmonized/developed to serve within God's purposes. If we think of 'The Fall' as "humanity's 'terrible twos' " then growing out of that condition isn't so much 'suppressing our personal will' as setting it within its appropriate context and bounds. Children are supposed to have wills of their own, but not to be heedlessly insistent on them.
Friend Forrest:
I think you have touched on one reason why Quietism is disliked so broadly. For Catholics and Orthodox, Quietism implies, even when it does not directly state, that sacraments are not necessary. This, in turn, implies that priests are not necessary, and by inference the entire hierarchical structure. For Protestants, Quietism implies that the path to God is not accomplished by hammering out a doctrine by reason; i.e. theology.
I agree that the Quietists (Catholic, Pietist, and Quaker) did not regard the inner light as a 'natural power'. This idea is explicitly rejected by Fox in his Journal and by Barclay in his Apology. But that is one of the reasons why I find Quietism so attractive; because it has assisted me in understanding that the 'inner light' is not a matter of individual conscience. Rather it is transcendental in nature. I think of it as the presence of eternity in the ephemeral individual.
Partly what you are touching on has to do with how we view human nature. Barclay, along with most reformation era theologians (e.g. Calvin and Arminius) viewed human nature as essentially depraved (sometimes referred to as the doctrine of Total Depravity). To paraphrase Paul, there is not one, no, not even one, who does good. From this perspective it is not a matter of 'growing out of' a stage in human development because human nature is essentially sinful; meaning prone to self-centeredness, deceitfulness, etc. Barclay fully accepts this portrayal of human nature and his conclusion is that in order for a human being to genuinely reform it must be accomplished through grace alone, because human beings are not capable of doing good on their own. As Paul so eloquently puts it, the good that I would do I do not. Hence the necessity of a passive relationship to the light within.
This view of human nature runs counter to the prevailing cultural ethos at this time. People are encouraged to think of themselves as wonderful and magnificent. Bookstores are filled with self-help books promoting this point of view. And there are countless spiritual teachers (e.g. western non-dualism) that argue that human nature is essentially divine. The Quietists would not agree. And I think that is one of the primary reasons why Quietism does not resonate with people at this time. Because for it to make sense to people, one would first have to accept the sinful condition of human existence. In my opinion, modern history, say that of the 20th century, supports the view of Quietism. Others may not agree.
Thy Friend Jim
"Everything is perfect; and some things could use a little improvement."
I think a more central Christian conception-- though it's been overlaid with a lot of theological baggage from way back (first by the notion of "depravity", then (as you say) by the notion of "wonderfulness.") -- That implicit conception would be roughly ~ 'clouded divinity', or 'immature children of God.'
No more innately 'wonderful' than an adolescent wallowing in surliness & angst, but innately created to develop further, and eventually transcend that initial state.
Not that "the inner light" is "natural" in the sense that 17th Century theologians interpreted the word -- but that the natural world, and we creatures living in it, can only exist as embodiments of God. Certainly we are limited embodiments -- That's where the two terminologies can meet, in their different ways of recognizing the fact that we are limited, less than fully as we're intended to become, ruled by a donkey living in the house while Jesus sleeps in the stable, as Rumi had it.
Friend Forest:
I just finished reading Friend Isabel's essay on the differences between the branches of Quakerism and I think it speaks to our discussion here. I am referring to her discussion of the 'progressivist' view of humanity as opposed to the 'tragic' view. Liberal Quakers tend to have a progressive view of history. Conservative and Evangelical Quakers tend to have a tragic view of history. Friend Isabel notes that there are individual exceptions within each grouping, but in general the distinction holds.
Applying this to our discussion you seem to have a progressive view of human history, that humanity as a whole advances and becomes more mature. The Quietists don't have that point of view and I have only recently become more conscious of the fact that I do not see human history in a progressive way. I don't see modern humans as more advanced or ethically more insightful than previous eras. I think this difference lies behind our different understandings. For me, human beings are fatally flawed. For the progressivist, flaws in human beings are simply mistakes which can be corrected through reason, persuasion, and through the onward march of history. And so our different views see a different world.

Greetings! I've migrated to here from what used to be PSP-Hacks.com, but is now under new management. Since the change, it's died quite a bit unfortunately. But anyway I'd like to introduce myself to become a little more familiar with this forum and the people in it.My name is Michael and I've been programming for years, I used to be very much into the PSP development scene. After PSP-Hacks went away I lost touch with the scene and moved to iOS development because getting paid for things appealed to me. I've been missing the PSP scene for a while now so I thought I'd come back to it now. I've chosen this forum because I've noticed that there is a bunch of activity on it, and I've got a sense of respect for this place for reasons unknown to me.
So, yes, hello everybody!
Now on to my actual question.
I've been trying for about a week now to compile the psptoolchain on my installation of OS X Snow Leopard. I always get errors around the part with newlib. Sometimes saying that the program "AS" in my "usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/x86_64/" folder is complaining that it doesn't understand the -G parameter or something else completely remote that nobody seemed to have trouble with but me... I did find people with the error above, and most of the errors that I got, but none of them were solved in a clear way and were so old that I wouldn't get any response from registering an account and asking in the thread.
So I tried to install devkitPSP but I got that same AS error, and then I backed up the AS executable in that directory and replaced it with "psp-as" and renamed it to "AS." Then I had issues with ld not knowing what the "-EL" parameter was, so I figured it was looking in the wrong compiler directories again like it was with AS and I backed up and replaced "usr/bin/ld" with "psp-gcc" and renamed it like with AS. I stopped getting those errors and started getting errors about not finding certain headers or static libraries. So I modified the Build.mak file to search in the directories with those files and now it ALMOST compiles the basic controller sample in the SDK. Here's what I get:
- Code: Select all
MacBook-Pro:basic Computer$ makepsp-gcc -I. -I/usr/local/pspdev/psp/sdk/include -I. -I/usr/local/pspdev/lib/gcc/psp/4.6.2/include -I. -I/usr/local/pspdev/psp/include -O2 -G0 -Wall -D_PSP_FW_VERSION=150 -L. -L/usr/local/pspdev/psp/sdk/lib -L. -L/usr/local/pspdev/psp/lib -L. -L/usr/local/pspdev/lib/gcc/psp/4.6.2/ main.o -lpspdebug -lpspdisplay -lpspge -lpspctrl -lpspsdk -lc -lpspnet -lpspnet_inet -lpspnet_apctl -lpspnet_resolver -lpsputility -lpspuser -lpspkernel -o controller_basic.elf
ld: error: crt0.o: No such file or directory
ld: error: crti.o: No such file or directory
ld: error: crtbegin.o: No such file or directory
ld: error: crtend.o: No such file or directory
ld: error: crtn.o: No such file or directory
make: *** [controller_basic.elf] Error 1
Which is very strange to me, because I added the directories with those files in them to the linker search directories!
Here's the modified lines in build.mak if necessary:
- Code: Select all
# Add in PSPSDK includes and libraries.
INCDIR := $(INCDIR) . $(PSPSDK)/include . $(PSPDEV)/lib/gcc/psp/4.6.2/include . $(PSPDEV)/psp/include
LIBDIR := $(LIBDIR) . $(PSPSDK)/lib . $(PSPDEV)/psp/lib . $(PSPDEV)/lib/gcc/psp/4.6.2/
I know people have compiled the PSPSDK for OS X 10.6.7 before because I've seen it in a few threads, I'm just making some stupid mistake somewhere or missing something. Is there a patched toolchain or a precompiled sdk somewhere or something?
Thanks for any help in advanced!
I do have bootcamp and Windows 7 installed, but I don't fancy switching operating systems and copying all my engine's files when I want to compile it for the PSP rather than OS X or iOS.
