I am sure my children do not share my joy entirely at the prospect of starting school again, but they do look forward to the fresh start that comes each year in September. It is a time of new possibilities, new courses to study, and that homey feeling we all get when it is time to snuggle in and read together. Last years successes and failures no longer matter, we are on to bigger and better things, and that wonderful feeling of hope that a new beginning always brings.
The stores are ripe with great savings on school supplies, as they pack away their summer fares and start pulling out the warm and soft textures of cooler weather wear. I love the movie, 'You've Got Mail', and the quote from Tom Hanks to Meg Ryan. He says, "Don't you just love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address." I have never seen New York in the fall, but I cannot imagine it's half as good as the gorgeous autumn foliage in Virginia. However, I agree with him about the love of school supplies and the newly sharpened pencils. It is the time of year when I have all my pencils sharpened and ready to go, my teacher's planner is neat and clean, and my children and I are motivated to stay on schedule and on task (by spring I can never find a pencil, my teacher's planner hasn't been updated in two months, and my children and I are cramming to get the year finished in time!)
So, I will bask in the glow of the upcoming autumn and all of its bounty. We will rejoice that God has provided us once again with the funds to purchase curriculum. We will relish in the fellowship of our fellow homeschoolers, as we go on field trips and camping adventures. And finally, we will bow down and thank our Heavenly Father that he has shown us a way to teach our children at home.

text: Michael Phelps has won 18 gold medals at the Olympics [AP]Michael Phelps is playing down expectations about his return to competitive swimming but the most decorated Olympian of all time, with a mind-boggling 18 gold medals, is finding it tough to sell himself as an underdog. On Wednesday, the 28-year-old fronted a packed media conference on the eve of his eagerly awaited comeback at a US swimming Grand Prix meet in Mesa, Arizona. He arrived unshaven, a little plumper than normal and with no swimsuit sponsor, and with the news that he had already pulled out of Thursday's 100 metres freestyle heats to concentrate on the 100m butterfly and Friday's 50m freestyle. If I don't become as successful as you all think I would be or should be, and you think this tarnishes my career, then that's your own opinion Michael Phelps, "I haven't signed any contracts, no one's making me do this. I'm doing this because I want to," he explained. "I'm loving just being back in the water and in a group. I'm even more relaxed than I ever was before. I'm smiling a lot, I'm happier, I'm joking a lot. I really am the grandfather of your group now. I'm the old man." Rio hopes While Phelps evaded questions about his chances of winning more gold in Rio, he did break away from his mantra that he is just doing it all for fun. Rio is still more than two years away but the timing of his return to competition this week is the first real clue that he has his heart set on adding to his golden stockpile in Brazil. The history of sport is full of failed comebacks but Phelps, who will be 31 by the time Rio rolls around, said he was unfazed by what people think about his return if he failed to live up to his previous standards. "I'm doing this for me. If I don't become as successful as you all think I would be or should be, and you think this tarnishes my career, then that's your own opinion."

People are nervous about the new Suicide Squad movie . Even Australian actor, Jai Courtney, cringed when he heard the name of the character he was asked to play in the movie: Captain Boomerang. Suicide Squad cast photos show villains and antiheroes like Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and a revamped, and possibly horrifying Joker, played by Jared Leto. Captain Boomerang seems a little campy compared to these other characters known for being dark and broody. After talking with the film crew, Courtney changed his tune about his part in the movie, calling the film dirty and gritty. Captain Boomerang should fit right in.
According to James Dondero the initial cast photos from the filming of Suicide Squad have caused a stir in the DC fan universe. Will Smith as Deadshot was controversial at first, with internet comments mocking the 'Fresh Prince.' Director David Ayer promises to stay true to the comic book atmosphere in the new movie. Rumors include a cameo of the Jared Leto as the Joker in the Batman vs. Superman movie due out later this year, and a cameo of Ben Affleck in the Suicide Squad movie next year. The pictures that have been released certainly look true to the comics, and leave no reason to believe that this movie will suck.

After Manchester United lost 2-1 at home to Norwich, the red half of Manchester has now truly turned on manager Louis Van Gaal. With many of the top clubs likely to have different managers next season - everyone is talking about who will end up where.
Pep Guardiola's availability in the summer was confirmed this weekend as he announced he would be leaving Bayern Munich after his current contract with Bayern Munich expires. Much of the talk is that he will move to the Premier League, with Manchester City the favourites.
With Jose Mourinho now being available after being sacked by Chelsea, he will be linked to every job that becomes available at the top clubs. This includes Manchester United, the longer the 52-year-old stays in England those rumours will only increase.

While Mourinho has often spoken highly of United and would no doubt jump at the chance, this would not end well. Despite his good relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United are seeking more than success.
The football club craves another era of stability and legacy. With Louis van Gaal's side without a win in their last six league matches, the pressure on the Dutchman continues to rise. If fortunes are not improved by the new year, expect a vacancy to appear at Old Trafford.
Norwich do deserve praise but Manchester United should be beating a team fighting for Premier League survival, regardless of who is playing. The team put out by Van Gaal was more than capable of winning this match.
Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Juan Mata all have great quality in attacking areas and should be capable of at least creating chances. They only had two shots on target in the match which to most neutrals seems almost unthinkable after the Sir Alex Ferguson era.
Many made the point when David Moyes was sacked for Manchester United fans to be careful what they wished for. At the moment, it looks like they have been proven right. Perhaps a couple of years of success might bring some short-term joy to Old Trafford but will not be adequate in the long run.

Please note the following images.
"Eep! And they're 70!" says Ms. Julavits of the woman she imagines in the conversation. This is not happy surprise she's expressing. Her response implies that it's inappropriate for women to look good in their 70s. Please understand, dear reader, the comments are not about a woman who looks bad in her skinnies. This is about a woman who looks good until her face shows her age.
This is me, trying to look reproachful and smile big all at the same time. A difficult face to achieve, and I admit the fail. Nor am I an "all worked out" old lady, but I do wear skinnies without shame. If I am a "terrible human collage" then they must just look away if they see me coming. Eep.
This tunic-sweater is the one thing I got from the Altuzarra collaboration with Target. I really love it. The low shoulder embellishment is flattering without looking like 80s big-shoulder pad extreme.
The appliques were much nicer than I thought they'd be.
My photos didn't show the detailing on the neubuck booties, so here they are: by U.S Polo Associaton, and I loved wearing the gold with the gold. The funny marks just above the heel are their embroidered logos that show a couple of polo players and their horses.
And, late breaking, I'm joining Our Wonderful Sacramento at her Share In Style! Come see the shooooooes!

Financial sanctions legislation applicable in the UK requires that all funds or economic resources belonging to, owned, held or controlled by a designated person must be frozen. 'Designated persons' are individuals or entities which are subject to financial sanctions.
Every year the Treasury carries out a review to update their records to reflect any changes to these assets during the reporting period. As part of this review, the Treasury requires all persons that hold or control funds or economic resources belonging to, owned, held, or controlled by a designated person, to provide a report with the details of these assets.

Canned messages are pre-defined answers to frequently asked questions from clients. Many companies see canned messages as an approach to propel customer service efficiency because customer representatives don't have to type long custom messages for example step by step instructions. That is specifically true under live chat scenario where an agent is probably chatting with multiple customers at the same time.
However, some awful customer service experiences come exactly from these scripted messages. Things can be worse if the messages cannot tackle the customers' issues and they feel that you are only buying time. After all, problem-solving is the priority goal of customer service.
Take all the advantages of canned messages while ditching the disadvantages. Here are some tips for you to help you out in doing the same.
Always Categorize
There are plenty of situations where canned messages are often used, such as greetings, product information, discount inquiry and technical support.continue reading →

Well this sucks coconuts, but did anyone really expect the Democrats to do anything this close to an election? DADT has been pushed back yet again. I just hope the court case has a faster impact than Congress.
A Senate bill to repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy appeared headed for defeat Tuesday, a major setback for gay groups that saw the vote as their last chance this year to overturn the 17-year-old ban.
Advocates had been optimistic that the Democratic-controlled White House and Congress could overcome objections to repeal of the law barring gays from serving openly in the military. The move is unpopular among Republicans, military officers and social conservatives.
But in the end, Senate Democrats were expected to fall at least one vote short of the 60 needed to limit debate and advance the legislation .

The conference seeks to analyze the changes in family and children policies under the conditions of economic distress. Particular attention was given to the problem of child poverty.
The development of Social Security in Japan and Germany is closely linked to the development of the Social Insurance system. But the Transformation of the socio-economic environment initiated by globalization and declining birthrates combined with an aging population challenges the Social Security conditions in place.
For this Symposium we invited researchers of Social Security and policy makers who were directly involved in the drawing and implementing of the corresponding provisions, to discuss the above matter.
Japan, Germany, and the U.S. are the global leaders in the fields of environmental technologies, public incentive mechanisms and market potential. The conference highlights these strengths and discusses how they can be enhanced with effective strategies, mechanisms, and targets for the Post-Kyoto summit in Copenhagen.

What is the relationship of Gingetsu and Ran? Captor and captive? Protector and charge? Lover and beloved? Maybe at one time or another, all of these things, and like so many of CLAMP's relationships, it's ambiguous at best. But although there may be other interpretations, and I don't deny that the manga leaves their story with an open end, for me their interaction leads to this conclusion. They may or may not ever have become lovers as Ran grew, but they are certainly in love.
Clover is not presented in order. The start of this relationship is not shown until Book Four, but when it's focused on, every moment is closely followed and examined. By the end of this volume, it is clear that Ran and Gingetsu are together not only because of circumstances and needs, but because they want to be. They come to admire each other and earnestly need to be together. Gingetsu wants to help Ran and keep him where he is so much that he is willing to implant a suicide device within himself. And when he confirms this with Ran, Ran responds that he wants to stay where he is. It may be tentative, but a connection has sprung up between them.
Chronologically speaking, the next time we see these characters is when Kazuhiko, Gingetsu's second in command, introduces his lover Oruha to Ran (book Three). At this point, Ran looks to be somewhere in his teens- remembering that it's actually only been a year or less, and that he's undergoing rapid aging outside the cage. It's clear from the way Kazuhiko talks throughout he doesn't know exactly why the two are living together (his first comment on meeting Ran was 'You're into kids now?'), but what's interesting is the way Gingetsu and Ran react to his comments. They both seem completely at ease with him, each other, and all his talk about their supposed affair. To me, this seems to hint that they've come to a conclusion about how they feel for each other, and whatever it is they're comfortable with it.
This also holds true in the main storyline, which is set a definite two years after Ran first moves in with Gingetsu (he now looks like he's somewhere in his twenties.) Although Kazuhiko still doesn't know the circumstances that tie Gingetsu and Ran together, he is their close friend, so it's probably safe to assume that he's observed the way they live.
It's no wonder that Kazuhiko isn't sure what's going on between the two. For one thing, up until the start of the main story, he knows nothing about the Clover program. He doesn't know that Ran is older than he appears, that Gingetsu was himself subjected to a Clover's childhood, or how little time the both of them may have. We, the readers, know better.

Food in Brazil was generally more expensive than Argentina's. As we came towards the end of the trip, I got less adventurous and was really looking forward to the food back home.
Our Airbnb host recommended Braserinho for dinner and we decided to give it a try. It was a locals-only joint and it took us some time to order our food.
The food was quite good but there was too much meat for us. It cost 57.50 BRL, a fairly reasonable amount.
Juice stalls are ubiquitous in Rio and we decided to try açaí after the walking tour. It was an acquired taste but Ying grew to love it by the end of our stay in Brazil.
We discovered that there were Asian-operated shops selling fried noodles known as yakisoba. Ended up having it a few times.
I managed to know of a guy who was coming from Singapore to watch the World Cup and he was kind enough to bring us some Prima Taste laksa la mian. Thanks bro KV!
Ying and I also tried pão de queijo for one breakfast. The taste was too cheesy for me.

There's one thing to be said about fad diets and their accompanying fad franchises, and that's that they never last.
The fundamental problem with the Atkins diet was that it was unsustainable as a lifestyle. It was great for shifting weight, but that's where its benefits ended.
Now there's a new (actually really, really old) kind of diet sweeping across the international stage called the Paleo diet, a lifestyle which centres on the presumed foodstuffs available to cavemen – in other words no grains, legumes, dairy products, potatoes, refined carbs, sugars and processed oils.
It's also believed that Paleolithic humans were largely free of 'diseases of affluence' – diabetes, heart disease, asthma, obesity, etc.
Even local sports scientist Tim Noakes is of the opinion that excess amounts of carbs is behind many diseases of lifestyle, and is a proponent of a high fat, high protein diet.
How is this applicable to SA franchising?
Increasing numbers of South Africans are turning to the Paleo diet in a bid to live better, healthier lives. And while eating like cavemen, Paleo followers aren't prepared to hunt and gather food like them. These modern cavemen want convenience like the rest of us.
Paleo Café in Australia is one of the first Paleo diet franchises in the world and opened in October 2012. It attracted a loyal following quickly and received franchising enquiries within weeks of opening.
The brand officially franchised in August 2013 and is selling stores for between $150 000 and $350 000.

full blast at an appallingly high and ill-pitched frequency. Every time I feel like I am getting close it goes quieter again. As I turn another corner it seems to get louder. There is no pattern, like some tortuous parlour game of sonic hide and seek. I try the floor above but still the voice remains evasive. I head in desperation for the music department some distance from where the exam is actually taking place. Where could the voice possibly be coming from? The secretary points me in the direction of a rehearsal room two floors below where the exam is being held. As I follow the directions the piercing voice gets louder; this time I am on the right track. There are about a dozen practice rooms all in a line. The tuneless offender's discordant tones are emanating from Room 12. I knock. A small blond haired music student opens the door. It seems impossible that such an incredible din can be coming from such a slight frame. I tell her that there is an exam going on upstairs. "Ooh sorry," she says. "I'll come back later." It's probably taken 20 minutes to track down the culprit but it feels more like an hour. The exertion of running up and down stairs in the heat means I am 'glowing' slightly. The student who made the initial complaint still has a pained expression on her face, the anguish probably induced by an ambiguously worded question on the paper. At least it is quiet now - well, except for the jet engines, police sirens and the new addition of a barking dog! And then... Oh no, not again:
another uninvited guest in the sonic shape of a jazz saxophone. The melody is perfect but a chorus of sighs from the long-suffering students meets this rendition of Charlie Parker's 'Cool Blues'. I know where the guilty party is hiding and a few minutes later calm is restored. Returning to the exam room I pick up some pieces of string and sheets of extra paper and resume invigilation responsibilities, luxuriating in the relative peace of idle contemplation.
"Time is our arch enemy and our most intimate friend."

Media regulation proposals explained
The Federal Government's planned media reforms have ignited a story of criticism. Key independents say they won't fall into line with the Government's short timetable to pass the legislation. Ashley Hall takes a closer look at just what is proposed.
ELEANOR HALL: Now to Canberra, and as the Labor Party Caucus met this morning, it was facing more media speculation about leadership and more resistance from media proprietors and members of Parliament to the Government's proposed changes to the media industry.
The key federal independents have indicated they will not fall into line on the Government's 'take it or leave it' approach to passing the media legislation this week, and News Limited is threatening a High Court challenge if the laws are passed.
Ashley Hall takes a closer look at just what is proposed in this media legislation that is igniting so much criticism.
ASHLEY HALL: There are six bills in the suite of media reforms under consideration. Two of them have attracted little attention.
In short, they involve making permanent a 50 per cent cut to television station licence fees, boosting Australian content, and updating the charters of the ABC and SBS to ensure they cover digital media services.
The other four, though, have sparked an outcry.
DENIS MULLER: The outcry is coming from the media industry, who always create an outcry whenever anyone suggests anything that will make them accountable.
ASHLEY HALL: Denis Muller is a senior research fellow at the Centre for Advanced Journalism at the University of Melbourne.
DENIS MULLER: They always only want to talk about free speech, but this is not about free speech, this is about accountability of one of the most powerful institutions in our democracy, and it's that failure to appreciate or to want to appreciate that it's about accountability that is I think most disturbing.
ASHLEY HALL: What's proving so controversial is the Government's plan to appoint a Public Interest Media Advocate. The Advocate would be responsible for ensuring the establishment of self-regulatory bodies to oversee the operation of the media.
He or she would also make sure those bodies enforce their own rules.
The director of the Communications Law Centre at the University of Technology Sydney, Professor Michael Fraser, says it's a common structure in other industries.
MICHAEL FRASER: It is something that we're well accustomed to in other areas of society and the economy, and it is something we're well accustomed to in the broadcast media. Why it's so controversial is that it's proposed to be extended to the press, where this kind of regulation hasn't happened before.
ASHLEY HALL: The other role for the advocate is looking at the concentration of the media and executing a public interest test to see if any mergers would satisfy that. How would that operate?
MICHAEL FRASER: It's not entirely clear from the bills as they stand now, but there would be oversight by the public interest media advocate if there was mergers, acquisitions, change of control in significant media organisations, and they would have to see whether it was in the public interest.
That is a very broad test, it's not set out in the bills, as they stand now, that have been introduced into the Parliament. How that test would be applied, what factors the Advocate should be looking at to determine whether a change of control is in the public interest.
ASHLEY HALL: The way in which the Public Interest Media Advocate is appointed troubles Dr Muller. He says the position should be clearly at arm's length from the Government.
DENIS MULLER: The media are rightly concerned about that because the public interest advocate's position is a part-time one. Because of its reliance on the department, because of its closeness to the minister, as the person who appoints this advocate, then of course there'd be good grounds for suspicion that the person won't be in fact independent.
ASHLEY HALL: Professor Fraser disagrees.
MICHAEL FRASER: We have a lot of statutorily appointed officials - the head of the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission), the head of the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority), and they work independently and I think that's well accepted.
ASHLEY HALL: So why change things now?
The Communications Minister Stephen Conroy says two recent inquiries into the media heard repeated testimony that confirmed the belief that the current regulatory body, the Press Council, is a toothless tiger.
Professor Michael Fraser again.
MICHAEL FRASER: When it does an adjudication about a complaint, it's possible for the newspaper to decide they don't like the adjudication, that they're not going to publish a complaint and that seems to have happened in the past, or they can simply withdraw from the organisation if they're not happy with being found not to have fulfilled their obligations.
ASHLEY HALL: Dr Muller assisted the Finkelstein Inquiry into media regulation, and found Australian consumers have a very low level of trust towards the media.
DENIS MULLER: The big justification is that the media are powerful, and in a modern democracy, people who wield power are accountable to the public for the way they use the power. That's the big issue, and that's the issue that the media organisations themselves won't confront.
ELEANOR HALL: Dr Dennis Muller, of the Centre for Advanced Journalism at the University of Melbourne, ending Ashley Hall's report.

HONG KONG -- When East Timor exploded last September, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations took cover. Members watched from their bunkers as troops, primarily from outside the region, promptly answered a call by the United Nations to restore order in what was then an Indonesian province.
Now that East Timor is moving toward independence under U.N. tutelage, Asean has another chance to take charge of peace and security in its corner of the globe. Again, it is in danger of failing the challenge.
Nobody expected the 10 countries to make a commitment to the U.N. Transitional Administration in East Timor, which took over last October, under an Asean banner. Nobody expected them to provide most of the funding for Untaet, whose task in building a ministate from scratch will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and last several years.
Reasonably, though, they might have given generously to Untaet's peacekeeping mission, especially since some of them criticized the presence of outsiders in the initial phase. Their feeling back then was that one of them, not Australia, should have been directing the rescue effort.
But as the peacekeepers began deploying this month, it became apparent that Asean is still missing in action. Only four Southeast Asian countries are taking part and only three of them are sending soldiers. Their combined troop contribution is just one-fifth of the total.
Although one of the world's most successful regional organizations, Asean has suffered since the economic crisis ripped through East Asia in 1997. Asean's rapid expansion, to include socialist Vietnam and Laos and military-run Myanmar, has undermined its cohesion and tarnished its reputation.
Part of the problem is that, while Asean engages in high-minded rhetoric, its members sometimes seem to care little for each other when the chips are down. In the case of East Timor, which voted for independence from Indonesia in late August, Asean lacked the mechanism and political will to prepare for an unfolding disaster in its midst.
Instead, the Malaysians and a few Thais chose to join Jakarta and snipe at the Australians for supposedly being overly eager to get involved. As it was, the international force arrived too late to prevent hundreds of East Timorese from being killed by local militias and their Indonesian military backers. Most survivors were driven from their homes, more than 200,000 of them across the border into West Timor, while the vast majority of buildings in the territory were torched.
For the most part, the transition from peace enforcement to peacemaking, expected to be completed by the end of this month, simply involves "rehatting." Almost 70% of the original force are replacing their regular gear with U.N. blue berets.
Altogether, 23 countries are contributing about 8,500 troops. Only four, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Portugal and Chile, are new to the lineup. The main contributors from outside Southeast Asia are Australia, with about 1,700, Portugal 880, New Zealand 760, Pakistan 750, Jordan 700, Bangladesh 520 and South Korea 450.
Thailand and the Philippines, perhaps not coincidentally the two most democratic Asean members and the ones favoring franker discourse within the grouping, have saved some of Asean's face. Bangkok is sending 900 soldiers, while Manila is dispatching 820 and providing the commanding officer. The only other Asean country supplying troops is Singapore, with just 20.
The most conspicuous absentee is chief critic Malaysia. On the basis of its world-wide peacekeeping record since 1960, Kuala Lumpur lobbied hard to lead the current operation in East Timor, backed by 1,500 to 1,700 troops.
What went wrong? Effectively, Malaysia's ambitions were frustrated by the bellicose diplomacy of Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. Answering accusations that the Malaysians were quick to support fellow Muslims far afield in Kosovo but slow to aid neighborhood Catholics, he made a series of comments distorting the history of East Timor's struggle for freedom and showing indifference to the suffering of its people.
In retaliation, East Timor's foreign minister-designate, Jose Ramos-Horta, threatened non-cooperation with a Malaysian commander. Mr. Ramos-Horta claimed later that the U.N. actually had decided in favor of Malaysian leadership. "We fought on different fronts to reverse that decision and we succeeded, and we are very pleased that the command is in the hands now of the Philippines," he said.
The bottom line is that, feeling unwelcome, Malaysia withdrew the offer of troops, though it did send 20 military observers and 21 police officers, with more police to follow. Thailand and the Philippines also sent military observers and police.
This sort of pettiness belongs to the past and reflects badly on all sides. Kuala Lumpur has been forced to deny that it is "sulking" over Manila getting the nod.
The wrangling is also shortsighted, since Asean and East Timor are "condemned by geography to coexist," as Mr. Ramos-Horta once put it. East Timor needs all the help it can get, now and perhaps forever. It is already seeking some form of observer status in Asean this year, with the aim of joining soon after Dili has assumed sovereignty from the U.N.
Fortunately, common sense is starting to prevail. On a recent swing through six Asian countries, East Timorese leader "Xanana" Gusmao extended an olive branch to the Malaysians by saying he will formally propose that the U.N. rotate command of the peacekeeping force among Asean countries.
Even if the arrangement proves impractical, the gesture has been welcomed by Malaysia, which is now responding enthusiastically to requests for aid. East Timor has asked for, among other things, military engineers and medical specialists to help rebuild schools and bridges and treat sick East Timorese.
Kuala Lumpur has offered expertise in oil and gas production, civil service training and human resource development. Officials have indicated the police contingent assigned to East Timor will more than double to 54, with the number likely to rise further. It would go a long way if Malaysia managed to send troops as well.
The rest of Asean, particularly wealthy Singapore, should also try to do more by way of reconstruction, if not peacekeeping. Only Thailand and the Philippines are pulling their weight. The others should remember that, no matter how poor they are, they're well off compared with their prospective 11th member.

It's been soup weather ever since I got back from warm, sunny Florida early Monday morning. It was a bit of a shock coming back to freezing temperatures, but I'm not really upset because I love this time of year; cold temperatures and all. I love mittens and sweaters, hot cups of coffee and sitting by the fireside. It also happens to be the holiday season, and I have yet to meet someone unhappy about that!
Last night the temperature dipped to just below 20 F here, warranting a hot bowl of soup for dinner. My Aunt Barbara grew the blue hubbard squash, while my Aunt Rho grew the carrots used in this soup. I love when I know where my veggies come from! But let's back up. What the heck is a blue hubbard squash?
Blue hubbard squash are shaped like a giant, bumpy lemon with a blue/grey exterior. When I say giant, I mean these squash can reach anywhere from 15-30 lbs! Whenever I get my hands on one of these squash I really have to plan out what I'm going to make with it since once roasted, there is a lot of squash to use up. To cook these large squash I just throw them in the oven whole on a rimmed baking sheet at 350 F and let them roast until its fork tender. I then easily slice it in half and scoop out the seeds and flesh. Due to the size, cutting these squash raw is nearly impossible. I've taken a hammer to these beasts as well as throwing them on my deck from a chair to break them open. Let's just say roasting whole is the answer.
The flavor of the blue hubbard squash is a cross between a pumpkin and a butternut squash. They are delicious, buttery smooth vegetables that can be made either sweet or savory. I went the savory route with some fresh carrots for a touch of sweetness as well as cauliflower for creaminess. Fresh ginger, cumin, allspice, bay leaves, and cinnamon sticks add flavor to the squash while I added some turmeric to enhance the yellow orange color (and sneak in some extra health benefits!). I paired this soup with apple-chicken sausage, but my apple-sage sausage or smoky tempeh bacon would be delicious as well. No matter how you top it, this is a warm, scrumptious bowl of veggie bliss. Eat seasonally and try something new by making this spiced blue hubbard squash soup!
Spiced Hubbard Squash Soup
1 medium yellow onion, diced
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 inches fresh ginger, minced
2 Tbsp coconut oil, or pasture raised butter
1 lb carrots, diced
1/2 cauliflower, stems removed and chopped into florets
4 cups roasted hubbard squash puree*
1 Tbsp cumin
3/4 tsp allspice
1 tsp turmeric
6-8 cups vegetable or chicken broth
salt, to taste**
2 cinnamon sticks
1 bay leaf
* You can replace the hubbard squash with pumpkin or butternut squash.
** The amount of salt needed will vary depending on the sodium content of the broth you use.
1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and saute for about 10 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic and ginger. Cook another 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
2. Add the carrots, cauliflower, cumin, allspice, and turmeric. Stir to evenly coat the spices over the vegetables.
3. Pour in 6 cups of broth and add the cinnamon sticks and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes with a cover.
4. Remove the cinnamon sticks and bay leaf and add the roasted squash. Using an immersion blender or food processor, blend the soup until it is velvety smooth adding more broth as needed. Taste and season with salt.

Abu Ali uses a fine touch to shape a clay body on a fast wheel. While it is difficult to know at this stage of the game what the final shape of the vessel will be, I know from the row of other forms he's thrown today that this will become a ibreek. An ibreek is a spouted water-jar known in the Heartland for its ability to "sweat" and thus keep the water cool on the inside.
We used ibreeks as canteens regularly while digging in the country of Jordan.
Abu Ali's workshop is located in a Palestinian refugee camp outside of Jericho.

The steel company Arzyz promotes the recycling of aluminum in order to protect the environment .
Currently , in Mexico 180 cans per person per year are discarded , however , if they were recycled 10 150 million pesos a year would save on raw materials.
" Sorting this way the metallic waste and locating the nearest collection centers , give new life to aluminum instead of generating more trash , with a shared effort can go further each day ," said Xavier Margáin Roberto Santos , CEO of ARZYZ .
ARZYZ processes the metal for 34 years and has recently invested more than $ 50 million in technology for the recycling of aluminum , the aluminum industry by offering high quality that can be used to manufacture products in the automotive, packaging , construction, steel , technology, wiring , appliances , among others.
Under the International Earth Day , celebrated April 22 , Margáin Santos explained the benefits of aluminum recycling for environmental care .
Among the benefits highlighted that primary aluminum production uses various natural sources, such as coal , natural gas , petroleum , bauxite elements, among others , so that for every tonne of aluminum thrown away is necessary to remove four tons of bauxite.
The International Earth Day has been celebrated since 1970 and was established to raise awareness among the population about the extent of the problems and ecological damage in the world, such as climate change , exploitation of natural resources , global warming , contamination of groundwater, among many others that have been generated by the excessive increase in population and lack of care from large industries in the world, said the manager .
The aluminum recycling industry helps in the conservation of this and all the elements to not need them back into production .
The production process for the transformation of virgin metal elements consume large amounts of energy and generates waste that contaminate soil and water, same as completely avoided by recycling aluminum.
The manager also mentioned that saves approximately 95 percent of energy to produce recycled aluminum compared with that used for the production of primary aluminum.
The recycling process produces only 5 percent of the carbon dioxide compared to that generated during the production of primary aluminum, this percentage is also adds saving cycle emissions from extraction and transportation to the production plant .
Margáin Santos said the waste generated by industries, businesses and individuals is accumulated in deposits that damage the environment. The collection and recycling of metal waste helps reduce large amounts of waste that would not be reused would take over 500 years to disintegrate .
You recycle , he said, is one of the most important processes to help care for the planet and has opened up new business opportunities.

Hearts v Rangers
Tonight, 7:45pm
We have one game in Scotland tonight, with Hearts entertaining Rangers.
We have priced this up with Hearts as very marginal favourites, but the market thinks otherwise which is no surprise with Rangers. We expect this to be a tight affair and it could be any result. The price on the HT/FT draw is too big with BetVictor. They seem to be out of line almost every week on the SPFL games. We will also have the same bet on Hearts cards that has done well for us recently. They will certainly be aggressive tonight.
Suggested Bets:
1.00 Point on the Draw/Draw in the Half Time/Full Time market, 5.75 with BetVictor.
2.00 Points on Hearts Cards between 2 and 3, 2.05 With Hills.

According to the IRS, in Fiscal Year 2016, the average individual income tax refund was about $3,050. Note that this does not include refunds in categories such as business income taxes, estate and trust income tax, gift tax and employment tax.
At the state level, average income tax refunds ranged from a low of $2,300 in Maine to a high of $3,130 in Texas. CNBC calculated those numbers by looking at the total number of refunds issued in every state and the total sum of refund dollars issued in every state.
Read on to see how your refund stacks up. And, if you're one of the millions expecting a tax refund this year, make sure you collect (uncollected refunds average $700) and consider using it to improve your financial situation, whether that means tackling debt, funding your retirement accounts or chipping away at your rent or mortgage.
Average individual income tax refund: $2,790

You need to hire a defense lawyer as soon as possible or you will be spending the next few years looking out at life through the bars of a jail cell. Yet you may find it difficult to find the right defense lawyer. There are so many different ones to choose from as you don't know which ones will be right for your criminal defense case as time is running out.
A Few Basic Steps to Hire a Defense Lawyer:
The first thing you need to decide is whether you have the money to hire an attorney. Some people simply are too strapped for cash to hire one, and don't have any family or friends who could loan them the money. If this is the case, you can be appointed a court criminal defense attorney.
If you do have the money to hire a private defense attorney, you need to decide on a lawyer based on the following factors.
Does the defense lawyer handle my specific case?
Some lawyers specialize in misdemeanor cases. Other lawyers handle felony cases. The type of case the lawyer specializes in is important as the lawyer will have more experience with your particular case and will know all the laws so they can properly defend you.
Is the attorney board certified?
While there are many great lawyers that haven't obtained their board certification, you want to have the best working on your defense case. Attorneys who go through the process are showing that they have the knowledge and experience needed to win cases.
How many years has the attorney practiced in criminal defense law?
Some attorneys have been a defense lawyer for many years, as others are just starting to work on these types of cases. You want to hire a defense lawyer
with the experience to handle your case in the best manner possible.
Where to Find a Defense Lawyer:
Now that you figured out which type of defense lawyer you need, you can start searching for the right one. There are numerous ways to find a defense lawyer such as:
• Referrals from family and friends
• Lawyer directories
• Criminal defense lawyer organizations
There are also specific websites that are dedicated in helping you hire the right defense lawyer for your particular case.

More brush fires breaking out between here and London and the temperature showing 41 Celsius at Brimpton airfield near Farnborough today.
I've attached a few photos taken above the airshow here. Spot the stealth fighter and of course the big A380 airbus for the aviation buffs among you. If not, then I'm too hot and bothered like everyone else to write much here today.

Results underscore decades of loyalty for the bank technology developer
Data Center Inc. (DCI), the privately-owned developer of iCore360® core banking software and related technologies for community banks nationwide, once again proved that their brand of personal service generates high customer satisfaction and loyalty.
DCI received a 100% response rate to its 2015 annual customer satisfaction survey of iCore360° clients who ranked their satisfaction with DCI performance on 33 metrics. The average satisfaction score over all survey categories was an impressive 96.5%, continuing a decades-long trend of ratings over 95%. Of all respondents, 77% rated their overall satisfaction with a score of 93% or higher, and 60% rated their satisfaction with a perfect score of 100%. DCI continued to boast a 100% voluntary client contract renewal rate in 2015 and is on track to repeat that goal in 2016.
"Our relationship with DCI is more like a partnership than a vendor and client," said Mark Duffy, President, Mountain Pacific Bank, Wash.
The company's high customer satisfaction is due largely to its highly personal service and collaborative relationship with each customer through live support 24/7/365, quarterly customer relationship visits, customer-led user-groups, annual conferences, access to executives, and free training.

"With our previous core processor, there was no mistaking our insignificance to them," said Fred Henrich, President, Coatesville Savings Bank, Pa. "But DCI is always very responsive and supportive. DCI treats us the way we treat our customers."
DCI also achieved significant industry recognition in 2015, being named a 2015 FinTech Forward Top 100 Technology Provider by American Banker and BAI, winner of the 2015 BankNews Innovative Solutions Award and the exclusive core processing solution endorsed by the California Bankers Association.
"DCI shares a unique, personal relationship with our customers," said John Jones, DCI president and CEO. "These results are clear evidence that being a part of the DCI family brings both real and intangible value that bankers can't find anywhere else, at any price."

Kazakhstan – Canyons
Castles in the Desert
My final adventure in this amazing country was a day out to the Sharyn Canyon and its "Valley of Castles".
It's not a large one by geological standards but it has gorgeous sandstone formations from a river that has long since changed course (but not far enough to stop us jumping into it).
Our guide, an ancient and leathery Russian who knew all things canyon took us along the "scenic" route reserved for tourists and those still in huggies – climbing up the edge of a ravine and walking along the top of the mystical shapes carved by the elements above the rather sharp-looking riverbed.
He waited until we'd taken our pictures on an especially jaunty outcropping before recounting all of the people who'd died by slipping on the steep, silty slopes where we were doing our best just to stand up and how they had tumbled to their end in the unreachable gullies below. Some of whom he'd witnessed himself. That kept the tension high for the 2 hour hike.
The guide had a walking stick and a tendency to look like he would succumb to the weight of his wrinkles any minute but my fears of having to carry him down the cliffs again were unfounded. He was soon waiting for us to catch up with him, quoting various tit-bits of canyon based trivia with a cheery patter to encourage his panting and coughing audience as they trudged through the unforgiving sun and dust.
"Oh!" he exclaimed cheerfully as we crawled up the vegetation side of a slope rather than the impassible sand-ending-in-death slope, "Watch out for scorpions if you go that way!" Thank you, but no.
It was pretty satisfying to have reached the highest point and it was better jumping in an ice-cold river at the bottom!

Further works by Bridge were included in the second Patron's Fund concert, held on 6 December 1904. Three of his songs - Night Lies on the Silent Highways, A Dead Violet and A Dirge - were performed by Aubrey Millward, but again, the choice of items was criticised. Writing in the Royal College of Music Magazine, an anonymous 'Old Scholar' commented:
many of us would like to know why he [Bridge] should have been represented by three songs of a dirge-like character in succession, when it is an open secret that he submitted others which were in a less depressing vein. We can only feel sorry for him, since, through no fault of his own, he has been an easy victim to those critics who have found one of their chief opportunities for saying unkind things.18
Together with performances in 1909 and 1911, Bridge gained more exposure than any of his contemporaries from the early years of the scheme.
The period following Bridge's student apprenticeship was one of the busiest in his life. Having already established himself as one of the most distinguished students of his time at the College, it was not long before his subsequent achievements were being discussed by the London musical world at large. He was lucky that publicity was forthcoming not only from his successes at the Cobbett competitions and concerts sponsored by the Patron's Fund but also through his various performing activities. By the outbreak of the First World War he had conducted at the major concert halls in London - the St James's Hall, the Queen's Hall and at Covent Garden - and as a chamber music player he had performed frequently at the Aeolian, Bechstein and Steinway Halls. There were few months during this period when Bridge did not make a public appearance in London.

Today's honorary ringer: The Kid
I know HF4 already posted on this but the least we can do is let him ring the damn make believe bell. The guy was always a class act, he was proud to represent Montreal and might be the only Expo ever to be in the Hall of Fame. Yet another example as to why cancer sucks balls.
Last night Buffalo and the Island girls did their part but the Bolts and Jets won their games, creating a 3 way tie for stupidity. Not in the playoffs, and not a top 4 pick.
Habs roll into Buffalo tonight where they will probably beat the Sabres (playing for the 2nd time in 2 nights) to solidify their 11th position.

Hello Everyone,
I've got really vexed with the white page problem that appeared on my device while testing android app written using Cordova(3.4.0-0.1.3) and Jquery Mobile(1.4.2). While testing the html pages in browser on my laptop there was no such mess. I've searched through many posts, tried every solutions out there and finally found a working solution here written by Brandon Johnson at http://www.fishycode.com/. He really helped a lot of beginners like me. Before finding that solution I almost switched to developing my app in native android. The fix he mentioned was, replacing first line with the second given below in your html page-

Fashionistas and conscious consumers of the world rejoice! A new ethically-conscious fashion site called Zady is set to launch next week on Tuesday, August 27th.
Founders Soraya Darabi (creator of Foodspotting) and Maxine Bédat (founder of The Bootstrap Project) are taking a stand against "fast fashion"—the mass production of lower quality clothes and accessories in foreign countries—with their new site. According to Styleite, the website will start by carrying 35 labels from brands and designers like Steven Alan, Imogene + Willie denim, Gloverall, Scosha, Tracey Tanner, Kika, and Shinola, and has plans to expand in the future.
While Zady's prices won't be nearly as high as luxury brands, they won't be cheap either. Rather, the clothes sold will be a part of the "middle market," an area that has long been dormant and, according to Darabi, once focused on "really beautifully made but accessibly priced products."
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair Daily Darabi said, "We want to be accessible. [Zady] is not going to be the cheapest in terms of price point, but hopefully, in terms of price per wear, we'll have the best bang for your buck."
Darabi and Bédat personally select Zady's brands and designers based on a rigorous interview process. They are looking for companies that are willing to be transparent about their manufacturing practices. Once a brand is selected, they ask the company to sign a certificate which identifies the products to be sold, where the brand is located and where its products were designed and manufactured. Darabi and Bédat then do a second interview where they focus on how the brand got the raw materials for their products. When a brand is officially chosen, the company must sign a contract to uphold their high standards of production.
Moreover, shoppers will be able to benefit from such transparency thanks to user-friendly icons that will be placed next to each product. These will tell shoppers if the product is "locally sourced (to qualify if an items' raw materials come from within 100 miles of where it's made), handmade, made in the U.S., made from high-quality raw materials, environmentally conscious (e.g. made with vegetable dyes) and whether it's affiliated with the Bootstrap Project," reports the Wall Street Journal.
Right now, Zady has its pre-launch site up. If you visit it today and sign up for their mailing list, you'll receive early access to the site. Also, if you recruit friends you can win various awards from 10% off to $50 credit towards your first purchase.
This site might just spark a new era of fashion, or even an industry revamp—where consumers have easy access to clothes they can feel good about and to clothing manufacturers.
