""a lightly spiced, creamy soup with a zingy salsa garnish" I found this recipe in a soup cookbook that I bought at a garage sale for $1. I used a green serrano pepper instead of a red chili pepper and when my immersion blender did not blend it smooth enough for me I put the soup with the milk already added into my vitamix. Also, the original recipe calls for 1 tsp cumin seeds, 0.5 tsp mustard seeds and the sesame seeds to be roasted in a frying pan for 2-3 minutes and then ground. They would then be added when the ginger and garlic are added"
Chickpea Soup With Red Pepper Salsa

READY IN:3hrs
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2⁄3 cup dried garbanzo beans
- 2⁄3 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄3 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 large onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 1⁄4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 1⁄4 cups milk

- 1⁄4 cucumber
- 1⁄4 large sweet onion
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 tomatoes
- 1 serrano pepper
- 1⁄4 cup cilantro
- 1 lemon
- Soak the chickpeas overnight or boil them for an hour, drain and rinse.
- In your soup pan, saute the onion and sesame seeds in the oil until the onions are well browned.
- Add the garlic, cumin, mustard, and ginger and cook for one minute more.
- Add the chickpeas and the broth. Stir well to scrape the seasoning from the bottom of the pan where it has likely stuck whilst cooking with the onions. Simmer for about an hour until the chickpeas are soft.
- While the soup is cooking, finely chop and the salsa ingredients except the lemon.
- Grate the lemon peel and add the gratings to the salsa. Add the juice from the lemon to the salsa. The salsa should sit for thirty minutes or more for the flavors to meld.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth.
- Add the milk and any salt and pepper you deem necessary.
- Serve the soup with generous helpings of salsa on top.

Antonio Berardi has long been a favourite of Hollywood starlets and stylists so it was about time he met his loyal fans, and they met the man behind the impeccably tailored, sexy frocks which ensure their well-dressed status when Peroni hosted a private dinner party at Mr Chow's in Beverly Hills for the man of the hour on Tuesday (January 7).
Kate Beckinsale: Supporting a fellow Brit, Kate sported her favoured ponytail wearing a monochrome racer-neck sheath dress from Antonio Berardi's Resort 2014 collection which showcases that impeccable tailoring mentioned earlier. Not only does it give her an amazing silhouette, but the panels also give her the illusion of a tiny waist – not that she needs it. Black sandals and. Kotur clutch completed her look.
Nicole Richie: Opting for a look with a looser fit and more of an edge, Nicole, a long-time fan of the designer, wore a black-satin and nude-silk-chiffon zip-front dress with a rise-and-fall hemline from the Spring 2014 collection paired with a gold choker, over-the-knee black boots and a black ponyskin coat.

It seem that the part-time workers at Universal Studios Orlando are going to lose their insurance at the end of next year. The culprit? ObamaCare! The Lid has more…
Universal Studios Orlando provides limited health insurance for it's part time workers…or at least will until the end of the year. The theme park announced that it will stop offering medical insurance to part-time employees beginning next year, a move the resort says has been forced by Obamacare.
Universal currently offers part-time workers a limited insurance plan that has low premiums but also caps the payout of benefits. For instance, Universal's plan costs about $18 a week for employee-only coverage but covers only a maximum of $5,000 a year toward hospital stays. There are similar caps for other services.
Those types of insurance plans — sometimes referred to as "mini-med" plans — will no longer be permitted under the federal Affordable Care Act. Beginning in 2014, the law will prohibit insurance plans that impose annual monetary limits on essential medical care such, as hospitalization, or on overall spending.
Well, well, well. More people LOSING their benefits due to ObamaCare?
Elections have consequences. 3
BTW, The Lid is rattling his tip jar, Why don't you get over there to help out a little?

Gordon Creates Art Concepts for the CIA at Copia
We are very honored to share with you that Gordon has been invited to create significant sculpture installations for the new CIA (the Culinary Institute of America) campus at the former Copia in Napa, California. One of these art installations is a tribute to Robert and Margrit Mondavi.
One concept, 'Fork', still a working title, is primarily inspired by the culinary arts. Gordon created larger than life utensils as a metaphor and to underline the significance of the culinary arts and well-established food culture in the Napa Valley. His contemporary approach for these pieces represents the Valley's forward thinking attitude. Using recycled forks to build its oversized fellow also emphasizes the region's focus on sustainability, locally farmed produce and responsibility for future generations. 'Fork' also functions as a way-finding element, 'a fork in the road,' leading visitors to the entrance of the CIA restaurant.
The installation welcomes locals and visitors alike, inspiring and sparking curiosity for this world-renowned culinary education institution, as well as this region and its culture.
Another concept, 'Is that Bob & Margrit', is a tribute to the legacy of Margrit and Robert Mondavi. Robert and Margrit, "Grande Dame" of Napa Valley, and artist Gordon Huether met some twenty years ago and have celebrated a kinship unlike many others.
The Mondavis founded and funded Copia (operational from 2001 - 2008), the center for wine, food and the arts, an educational non-profit institution, which now houses the new CIA's classrooms, a restaurant, and much more.
Margrit and Gordon shared an international background as well as a sound focus on cultural education and the consciousness of art. The Mondavis, together with Gordon Huether, have been collaborating ever since to help make Napa Valley not only a renowned wine destination, but also one for an intriguing offering of arts and culture. Margrit outlived her husband and continued to realize this mission with tireless dedication until her recent passing on September 2nd. 2016.
In light of this extraordinary development and bond, it only seemed fitting for Gordon to create artwork, which commemorates these outstanding Napa Valley personalities, without whom, the cultural landscape of this region would not be what it is today.
The installation 'Is that Bob & Margrit' is befittingly placed atop the former Copia building's tower, as though the iconic couple is watching over the Valley's good fortune, while tipping their wine glasses as a toast to the Valley. The figures will be approximately eight feet tall and will be made of high density foam. The art installation is a tribute to the achievements of the Mondavis, and furthermore, it is a welcoming gesture to locals and visitors, but especially to all of those individuals who strive to contribute to the continued growth and forward movement of this unrivaled destination for food, wine and the arts. The installation is anticipated for February 2017.

Bipartisan Bill to Determine Most Viable Alternative Energy Sources
Last night, Rep. Bill Foster (IL-14) introduced bipartisan legislation designed to determine the most viable alternative energy sources as the country continues to seek ways to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil. Foster introduced the bill with Republican Congressmen Vern Ehlers (MI-03) and Roscoe Bartlett (MD-06).
"Our nation's energy needs cannot be sustainable in the long run if we continue to rely on oil alone -- particularly foreign oil, which has national security implications," said Foster. "But as we determine the best course for our energy future, we need to ensure that we are investing in energy sources that are efficient, affordable and economically viable. For that to happen, we need accurate reports of the actual cost of production from each energy source -- not just the optimistic cost estimates provided by proponents of each technology."
H.R. 5423, the Transparent Review of the Affordability and Cost of Electricity (TRACE) Renewable Energy Act, tasks the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with creating an annual report analyzing the cost of electricity generation per kilowatt hour by fuel type and sector. The report would also include the tons of CO2 emitted per kilowatt hour so technologies can be evaluated not just by cost, but also by their impact on the environment.
"Arming consumers with knowledge about the real cost of the energy they are using will help everyone work to conserve and consider alternatives," said Congressman Ehlers. "With the transparency that the TRACE Act provides, we will move the United States closer to energy independence and better utilization of our domestic resources. It is also important to recognize that using energy more efficiently and conserving energy will reduce the need for more energy resources and further reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources."
Congressman Bartlett said, "There have been many significant changes in federal energy policies and advances in energy technologies in the past five years. The TRACE Act is a strong bipartisan bill that will give consumers, investors and policymakers the ability to compare the cost and the carbon footprint per kilowatt hour of different energy sources used to produce electricity, both before and after taxpayer subsidies. The TRACE Act is a tool that Americans need so that we can make informed choices about energy sources to heat, cool and light our homes and businesses. The TRACE Act will help strengthen our economy and protect our environment."
Concluded Foster, "As we move toward an increased use of alternative energy, it is important that we invest, as a nation, in the energy forms that make the most economic sense. The annual report that will result from my legislation will allow us to determine which energy sources will best reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also which energy sources can thrive independently and efficiently in the marketplace."

MSNBC Countdown-Transcript
OLBERMANN: Tell that, though, to the 4th Stryker Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Division, or the 2nd Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division. Both of those combat units are having to forego the benefit of counterinsurgency training at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, California, which has been specially designed to prepare them for war in the desert of Iraq.
They have to forego these trainings because they are deploying early, as part of the president's troop escalation in Iraq.
Joining us now, the only congressman who's actually served there, Representative Patrick Murphy of Pennsylvania.
OLBERMANN: Thank you for some of your time, sir.
REP. PATRICK MURPHY (D), PENNSYLVANIA: Thanks, Keith, thanks for having me on the show. I appreciate it.
OLBERMANN: You just got back from a tour of the region. You were in Iraq, you were in Afghanistan. Do you agree with General Pace's assessment about lack of military readiness? Or do you agree with the administration's contention that the U.S. troops are fully battle-ready?
MURPHY: I side with the military. General Pace is a good man, and I'llhe's a straight shooter, Keith. And the reality of it is, is our troops are spread very thin, and they need help, and we're going to give it to them in Congress.
OLBERMANN: All right, specifically, what do you do about two Army brigades, the ones we just mentioned, going to Iraq this spring, no longer getting the specialized training to fight in the desert, because they're part of this surge? What is Congress going to do to try to stop that from happening (INAUDIBLE)?
MURPHY: Well, the president has ordered them to go, and, you know, the reality of it is, I think all of us here at home need to pray for them. We're looking at what we can do in Congress right now. We obviously have a supplemental coming up, and we look forward to -- You know, we were having these hearings. The reality of it is, is, you know, they didn't even talk about it for the past six years. You know, they had a Congress that didn't like to ask the tough questions.
And, you know, I, you know, General PaceI served under him, obviously, you know, Keith, that I served in the military, just got off of active duty a few years ago. And, you know, I talked to him about the training of the Iraqis. I talked to him about the readiness issue.
And Congress, you know, has finally asked him, you know, Do you need more troops? Do you need more troops? Under Rumsfeld, they never needed more troops. And now they're saying, We need 92,000 more. So we're looking at how we could do that for them.
OLBERMANN: All right, how do you deal with the issue of equipment? The administration promised to fix that appalling lack of body armor and the armor-plated Humvees. Has anything changed on that?
MURPHY: Well, they got the body armor, and the Humvees are getting fitted. You know, there's still more we can do. And the reality of it is, is that, you know, I think a lot of us who served over there are a little disappointed. We think they should be acting with a little bit more sense of urgency. And they're not. And so we need to make sure that we do, as a Congress, act with a sense of urgency and ask the tough questions.
OLBERMANN: All right. The tough question about Congress at the moment waspertains to nonbinding and binding House resolutions. You voted for the nonbinding against the troop increase in Iraq. What is Congress going to do, bindingly, to resolve this war? When is the electorate going to see some concrete action on getting U.S. troops out of Iraq?
MURPHY: Sure, Keith, and we always said that thethat resolution that we had two weeks ago was the first step. So let's, you know, understand that. And I was very happy that it passed, I'm very happy that we had the debate, 393 members of Congress actually debated this on the floor, a debate that we haven't had.
So that was the first step. I have offered a piece of legislation with Senator Barack Obama and Congressman Mike Thompson, who is a Vietnam veteran, another paratrooper like I was. And the reality of it is, is that we said, We need a binding piece of legislation. We need to give the Iraqis a timeline. We've called for a 12-month timeline, so they come off the sidelines and finally fight for their country, so we can refocus our efforts on Afghanistan.
Keith, you mentionedyou know, I just was in Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey, Pakistan. But I met with General McNeil (ph). He is the commander, the NATO commander, an American general that I served under when I was at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. And I asked him, I said, Sir, what do you need? Do you need more troops? And he looked at me in the eye and he said, Murph, I need four more brigades, I need two moreI'm sorry, I need four more battalions, two battalions, about 1,500 troops of Brits, 1,500 troops of Americans.
The Brits just came through, and now he's asking our military for more troops. And we need to give it to him, because the Taliban, who are going to resurge and have this spring offensive, are coming, and we need to make sure that we support our military and put our eye back on the ball in Afghanistan, Keith.
OLBERMANN: Politically speaking, as the last question, Congressman, your majority leader, Mr. Hoyer, told reporters today that the Democrats are, now, let me quote him, "in the process of choosing the least dangerous, least negative alternative to resolving the situation in Iraq." Where do you stand on that? What's the most promising alternative that you see right now, besides the one that you proposed?
MURPHY: Well, I think the one I'm proposing...
MURPHY: ... is the best, Keith. But I think the reality of it is, is that we need to make sure that we win in the Middle East. We all are in agreement that we need to win there. But how do you do that? How you do that is, refocus on Afghanistan, and really set a timeline. A lot of people aren't willing to do a timeline. We need to give a timeline.
When I was there, I was a captain, Keith, as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division in 2003 and 2004. We had timelines for everything, timelines to pass their constitution, timelines to have their two elections. And every military operation has a military timeline. We need to make sure that we have that, so the Iraqis know that we're not going to be there forever.
And I'm call for a moderate approach, and I think that's what we need right now, is a bipartisan approach to this problem, and say, Listen, we can't bring all our troops home tomorrow from Iraq, but we can have an open-ended commitment, like the president wants.
What I've called for is a 12-month timeline to start bringing our troops home, so we could bring them home and refocus on Afghanistan.
OLBERMANN: Well, that latest "Washington Post" poll says you're now over 50 percent supporting timelines so maybe we will finally get this.
Representative Patrick Murphy...
MURPHY: Well, I tell you, the American people have a right, Keith, and I'm happy to stand with them.
OLBERMANN: Congressman, great thanks for your service to the country, and great thanks for your time tonight.
MURPHY: Thanks, Keith, I appreciate it.

Without testing it you can't say absolutely, but probably not ideal. You have to picture that a capacitor is just two conductors with significant length parallel held electrically insulated by a dielectric. IOW, two painted or powdercoated chunks of steel in close proximity are pretty much
a capacitor.
When you put bolts (particularly smaller diameter ones) through, which are generally fairly poor RF conductors because of corrosion mostly, all you are doing is making one huge capacitor into a few just big ones wired in parallel, which is not different in magnitude than the one huge one (caps work electrically opposite to resistors and inductors, parallel is additive, series is subtractive).
What the braid does is provide a good path to alternating current (e.g. RF) that shorts the capacitor(s) and so no charge can build up, negating the bulk of the parasitic reactance. If you poked enough holes and filled them with bolts you would start to make the connection better for RF, but the ultimate goal would be to have a few tens of bolts, which would impact the connections mechanical strength and look bad to boot. You might also be able to make it work if you used unfinished stainless and aluminum with dielectric grease because the materials and bolts would make much better contact. But paint and rust and road grime all impact the path very negatively.
2. In front, I have heavy duty grounding 2/0 and 1/0 from both of my batteries to the engine block and to the fender. These are DC grounding, but is it also good for RF grounding?
Despite their size and low DC resistance, these cables are generally not good RF grounds and so it is generally good practice to put a heavy braid parallel to the cables from the battery negative to the frame and block.
3.I also have a 2/0 grounding in from the transfer case to the frame to assist the puny ground cable the 80 has between the body and the transmission/transfer case.
I would parallel that but for VHF/UHF and particularly for FM it's overkill to go crazy. But you really need to provide at least one solid RF tie for the battery negative, frame and block so that any grounds that tie into them have a good chance of making it home to the radio.
4. The swing arm is on a bearings and I presume it may not be as well connected to the bumper as I would want. So I can see how a grounding strap can help.
5. Bracket I am thinking will be securely attached to the swing. Should I but a grounding strap between the bracket and the swing?
You want a good RF path from the antenna mount to the RF ground. The antenna wants to couple to the mount and anything close to the feedpoint is lower in impedance than things farther away. If you float it relative to it's desired return path you make the system more complicated electrically. That means that you might be able to get it to tune but the more stray reactance you have the more sensitive it will be to changes like rust and weather.
6. up on the "shelf", see my red line in the picture, I presume I will use a grounding strap between the antenna and the shelf.
You want to use grounding braid between significant pieces of metal if there is any question of conductivity. What is significant changes the closer to the radiating element, too. An 8" plate under the antenna whip is very significant, while an 8" plate on your front bumper with the antenna on the back isn't critical.

Terra Nova: An Anthology of Contemporary Spanish Science Fiction is now available in its English version. This anthology was published in Spanish in December last year and has now been translated into English by Sue Burke and Lawrence Schimel. It includes six stories by authors from Argentina, Cuba and Spain and an essay on Spanish science fiction by the editor, Mariano Villarreal. The astonishing cover illustration is a work by Ángel Benito Gastañaga.
The ebook edition can be purchased from Amazon (US, UK, ES), Smashwords and the publisher's website (Sportula). In fact, the free sample from Smashwords includes "The Texture of Words" by Felicidad Martínez in its entirety, a wonderful novella that I strongly recommend. The book is also available in a paperback edition that can be purchased from Amazon (US, UK).
These are the synopsis and the table of contents of the book:
Six top Spanish-language authors prove that science fiction remains sharp and visionary, with stories about the deepest anxieties, challenges, and problems of our societies. Their speculations and metaphors analyze and dissect a reality in continuous change.
- The Texture of Words, by Felicidad Martínez: women seek to lead despite being blind and dependent, while men fight constant wars.
- Deirdre, by Lola Robles: in the future, robotics can create made-to-order lovers.
- Greetings from a Zombie Nation, by Eric J. Mota: a stagnant society turns its citizens into the living dead.
- Light a Lone Candle, by Victor Conde: social networks want too much and never let go.
- Bodies, by Juanfran Jiménez: in a globalized and pseudodemocratic Europe, the rich practice sex tourism by means of mind exchange.
- Memory, by Teresa P. Mira de Echeverría: personal relationships and sex roles evolve in radical ways on a terraformed Mars in a relatively near future.
You can also read here an interview with Erick J. Mota and, if you read Spanish, my interview with Felicidad Martínez about "The Texture of Words".
- Science Fiction from Spain, by Mariano Villarreal: an essay on Spanish science fiction.

Chelsea, Samuel Eto'o top AP Global Soccer 10
Credit: The Associated Press
LONDON — Samuel Eto'o took first place in this week's Associated Press global soccer poll after scoring a hat trick in Chelsea's 3-1 victory over Manchester United.
Eto'o received 190 of a possible 220 votes Tuesday from a panel of international soccer media.
"Samuel Eto'o turned back time and showed he can still be a force," Marco Monteverde of News Corp Australia said. "The win ... was a title statement that Arsenal and Manchester City must take notice of."

Rounding up the roses from my 2016 "Simple Beauty Rose Series" and this time, I've provided some notes on how they performed in our mountaintop, forested garden. For those of you who are new to this series, here's how it began: Several years ago, our Pennsylvania garden came down with a really bad case of rose midge. During that time, it was rare to see any blooms at all on our roses. Very depressing. When I did somehow manage to get a flower, I took it's photo to share with my IG friends, rejoicing in it's simple beauty. I've continued documenting new additions in this way because not only is it fun, it's helpful to see how the flowers relate to one another in size, shape and color. This year, you'll note that some of these are repeats which managed to sneak in again, the saucy little buggers. And some new-to-me roses I forgot to photograph at all (see bottom of post.) The notes I've added are strictly from my own experience. We're on a steep learning curve now that we're gardening in a forest with warm days, cool evenings and a magnitude of insects. Here we go:
Boscobel Beautiful, changeable colors of pink to peach with strong fragrance. Large blooms. Not a rampant grower and a bit susceptible to blackspot.
Dark Desire Quickly soared to top of list for favorite roses, which surprised me as it's a Hybrid Tea! Fantastic blooms of deep red to black with strong fragrance. Great disease resistance. This rose was one of the few in our garden that had spider mites.
Ivor's Rose Reliably disease resistant and strong, lush growth. Mine did not bloom profusely but it's a relatively young own-root.
Strawberry Hill Well heck, how did this one end up here? I've grown this rose for years. It's an old standby. Blooms from spring to frost.
Old Blush The first rose to bloom in our garden. Shade tolerant. Disease resistant.
The Lady Gardener ? I can't remember which one this is but I'm pretty sure it's TLG. Was a bit disappointed with this rose, but again, it's only in it's first year in our garden. Blackspotted terribly and didn't give me many blooms.
Sister Elizabeth Delicate looking shrub (own-root) taking it's sweet time to get going but flowers are lovely. Some blackspot, nothing major.
Albrighton Rambler Gorgeous pale ivory blooms with sweet button eye. Some blackspot. Blooms in sprays.
Weeping China Doll "Thornless" canes with soft, fern-like foliage. Clusters of medium pink flowers like grapes. Looking lovely in an urn. Some blackspot.
Pierre de Ronsard I shovel pruned our PdeR in our old garden due to excessive blackspot. Trying again in new garden on it's own roots.
St Swithun A real MVP for 2016. Heavy flush of blooms in spring followed by sporadic flowering for remainder of season. Strong fragrance, great disease resistance. Rampant climber with formidable prickles.
Elie Beauvillain In it's 2nd year, still not a heavy bloomer. Arching canes and foliage that looks similar to Rêve d'Or. Flowers are a coppery pink like rose gold.
Sombreuil The flowers on this rose are fantastic: large, flattened blooms in a pale ivory to pure white. I also appreciate the foliage which is a lustrous deep green with bluish tint.
Dainty Bess Growing this one own-root and it's still very small. Still, it produced pretty flowers all summer long. Blackspot prone. Bees loved it.
Felicia and Heritage Not actually growing these, yet, although I did have Heritage at the old garden. Felicia is on my wishlist. These are from the ABRRS garden. Fragrant!
Burgundian Rose In love with this minute Centifolia. Leaves are tiny, buxus like. Flowers are cute as a button.
Ghislaine de Féligonde Whoops another oldie but goodie that ended up here. Give this one room to grow.
Cornelia Still up there as one of my favorites. This is another rose that will get large rather quickly. Flowers are breathtaking in various shades of apple blossom pink and apricot.
James Galway Shade tolerant, incredibly disease resistant. Slow to get going for me but I think next year will be a good one.
Madame Ernest Calvat Oh, I've talked about this one enough! 😉
The Generous Gardener Wins the award for most disease resistance in our garden. Leaves are CLEAN. Flowers are highly fragrant but best left on the plant as they shatter quickly in a vase. Produces hips.
Tuscany Superb An old favorite. In the old garden it stayed put, but in this garden, it's spreading like crazy. I've already counted 13 new runners sent out by the mother plant just last summer alone. Maybe it likes the sandier soil?
Lichfield Angel Not sure I'm keeping this rose. It's terribly black-spotty in our garden, although the flowers are lovely.
Distant Drums Not a strong grower (own-root) and only got one flower this year. It is very pretty, though, and there's always next year!
Hot Cocoa Flowered reliably all season long in singles and clusters. Really beautiful coloring on this one. Disease resistant. Not very fragrant.
We also grew a handful of other roses that I forgot to take a "simple beauty" photo of!
The new-to-me roses not seen in photos are:
Basye's Purple If you're loving deep red to burgundy roses as much as I am, then you'll appreciate this rose. Disease-free, bee friendly, consistent bloomer. Lovely fall foliage. Prickly as all get-out!
Blush Noisette Remains popular for a reason. Arching shrub with clusters of powder pink flowers. Fragrant. Produces hips. Disease resistant.
Summer Romance See in above photo. Very pretty flowers but I only had a couple last year! It produced a solid looking shrub, though, so I imagine next year will be better. She hopes.
Veilchenblau A classic. Although shade tolerant, I'm totally giving mine too much shade and will probably move it. Showing disease resistance.
Pomponella So glad to have gotten one of these last spring as it was on my wishlist for some time. Growing own-root. Nice flush of blooms from spring to frost. No fragrance to speak of. Good disease resistance.
Benjamin Britten Really love the unusual shade of red on this rose. Fragrant. Some blackspot. Seems to prefers afternoon shade.
Nymphenburg This hybrid musk is simply stunning in shades of warm, pale pink. Fragrant. Produces hips.
Claire Austin Lovely flowers in ivory to white. Fragrant and disease resistant. Produces hips.
Red Smith's Parish Delicate looking, candy pink blooms "tan" to deep, carmine red. Produces hips.
Clotilde Soupert Susceptible to powdery mildew. Blooms ball in damp weather. The flowers, when they do open, are very pretty.
Ascot Own root and still so itty bitty! Fragrant. Flowers well formed, reddish-purple.
….and a few more still in pots. Until next spring…. 🙂

Hi, Thanks to both of you for your advice and suggestions, I will leave it for another couple of months to see what it does
We purchased 3 - 3 foot high Bottle Brush plants from a garden centre in Febuary to use as a hedge,
They did explain they were last years stock and they had been out side all over the winter but said they would be OK, they were in pots but we planted them out in a clay soil straight away as they were very pot bound.
The problem is that they don't seem to have grown at all, the top leaves are still reddish in colour and the bottom leaves are brown with some green leaves between,
They are alongside a south facing wall which gets full Sun, ?when we get any Sun all of the day.
We fed them with Growmore when we planted them out.
My question is should they have started to do something by now
Any advice would be welcome
The Actual name of the plants are - Callistemon Citrinus "Splendens"

Unsettled weather ahead for rest of week
OUR BRIEF flirtation with sunshine will resume today but it looks like it's all downhill for the rest of the week, according to Met Éireann.
Today will be bright and sunny with a few isolated showers, said Met Éireann weather forecaster Harm Luijkx.
It won't be uncomfortably hot for mini-marathon runners, with highest temperatures of 13-16 degrees expected. It will be mildest in the west. However, rain will push in from the southwest this afternoon and evening. There will be outbreaks of rain tomorrow.
Wednesday will see some good sunny spells but there is a possibility of heavy, thundery showers and longer spells of rain in some places.
"It will be very unsettled for the rest of the week," Mr Luijkx said, with heavy showers expected on Thursday and Friday.
The organisers of the Bloom gardening festival in Dublin's Phoenix Park said they expected attendance figures to be up today because of the good weather.
Free shuttle bus transfers are running every 20 minutes from Heuston Station to the festival, which is at the visitor centre in the park. Additional surface parking has been made available for those planning to drive to the event.
The heavy rain failed to dampen the spirits of gardening enthusiasts at the festival yesterday, with almost 10,000 attending.
"Almost 55,000 to date have attended this year's festival and we expect a strong attendance today on the last day of Bloom," a spokeswoman said.
The gale force winds and driving rain that lashed the east coast yesterday morning made the rescue of two yachts more difficult. The boats were returning from a race on the Irish Sea but got into difficulty. They were brought to safety by the RNLI lifeboat stationed at Dún Laoghaire at about 8am.

20 Common Social Media Terms Explained
The first time I heard social media professionals conversing during my first internship, I felt like I had accidentally stepped aboard the Starship Enterprise—social media jargon can sound a lot like alien languages from Star Trek. Over time, I collected definitions of all the phrases that were commonly used so I could join in on the conversation with my coworkers. Hopefully this mini-glossary can define a few social media terms for others like me—people that don't want to be left out of the next conversation with their social media savvy friends and coworkers.Read More »

The Shutdown 50: Stanford TE Zach Ertz
With the 2012 NFL season in the books, and the scouting combine in the rear-view, it's time to take a closer look at the 50 players we think will be the biggest difference-makers at the next level from this draft class. To that end, we're happy to continue this year's Shutdown 50 scouting reports (Hint: There may actually be more than 50). You can read last year's group here. The final 50 players were chosen and ranked based on game tape, combine and Pro Day results, overall positional value, and attributes and liabilities on and off the field.
#32: Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
We continue this year's series with Stanford tight end Zach Ertz. Caught behind Coby Fleener on the Cardinal depth chart in 2010 and 2011, the 6-foot-5, 249-pound Ertz became the team's full-time starter at the position just in time for Andrew Luck's departure. He caught passes from Josh Nunes and Kevin Hogan instead, and led all FBS tight ends with 69 receptions and 898 yards. He added six touchdowns to become one of the most prominent tight ends in the NCAA, just at a time when the NFL expects more from the position than ever.
For Ertz, the primary challenge will be to find a definitive place in the pros with a skill set that hearkens back to the days when tight ends weren't expected to run 4.5 40s at 250 pounds, and sear the seams of a field with dynamic explosiveness.
"Everybody talks about the speed of the game and how it changes from college to the NFL," Ertz said at the scouting combine. "I'm just looking forward to seeing how that translates ... I was used all over the field at Stanford, in-line and in the slot and out wide. That versatility is going to help me at the next level."
Yes, but NFL teams are also looking for specific scheme fits at what has become a hybrid position. Ertz's tape impresses in many ways, but one is left at times wanting just a bit more in certain aspects.
Pros: Experience in a power-based, pro-style offense. Big target who uses surprising short-area agility to get open in space. Good stalk blocker who will get upfield, push people back, and can get open quickly off blocks. Dynamic yards-after-catch runner who frequently forces more than one defender to take him down. Chips well to get outside quickly on fast passes. High-points the ball in traffic and goes after it with his hands -- snatches the ball as opposed to letting it hit his body.
Very aware player who will change his routes to adapt to quarterbacks moving out of the pocket, and comes back out of coverage to save plays. Excellent underneath receiver who will take advantage of zone and off coverage all day. Physical player off the line who will use his arms to strike and separate from tight coverage. Good sideline and boundary receiver; understands foot placement and will use his height to his advantage. Has a good overall understanding of route concepts.
Cons: Ertz doesn't have the kind of straight-line speed or quick-twitch movement required to consistently get and stay open when running out of the flex position or outside. Needs a few steps to get up to full speed; not an explosive player at all. Can get gummed up by safeties and faster linebackers. Not a practiced or effective inline blocker -- he tends to reach and flail and doesn't plant and drive. Runs drifty routes at times and lacks the ability to cut on a dime. Needs to be tougher over the middle and with potential tacklers converging; will occasionally flinch when opponents drop the hammer.
Sometimes lets his eyes get ahead of the catch -- needs to look the ball in all the way before he turns and runs. Slim-legged player who could benefit from about 10 pounds more muscle. Creates separation with physicality as opposed to agility and won't beat defenders deep on a regular basis. Ran in the high 4.6 range at the combine and at his pro day, but doesn't always match that timed speed on the field.
Conclusion: Clearly, when you watch Zach Ertz and project him to an NFL future, you have to understand that he's not one of the new wave of "big receiver" tight ends who stretch defenses from multiple positions. His relatively slow foot speed and limited agility will push him closer to the line in the NFL, where he can use his size and skill in open spaces. That said, his future is not as definite as it may seem.
Right now, Ertz is a bit of a tweener -- he's not quite physical enough to excel as an inline blocker and pure attribute to the run game, and he will never have the pure seam speed you'd see from Aaron Hernandez or Jimmy Graham. Since it's easier to get bigger than it is to get faster, Ertz would do well to bulk up, work on his blocking, and continue to refine the attributes that make him an outstanding high-volume production player. He's not going to hog any highlight films, but Ertz is the kind of player who, in the right offense and with more development in certain areas, will put up 80-100 catches per season -- and make it look easier than it actually is.
The Jason Witten comparisons common to Ertz seem a bit of a stretch at this point -- Witten is a far more functionally strong player at his best -- but Ertz's ultimate upside would seem to be similar. And with only one full starting season behind him, Ertz may have more NFL upside than others at the tight end position.

Acquisition Creates Canada's Leading Independent Investment Dealer
Highlights Include:
MONTREAL, July 18, 2016 /CNW/ - Raymond James Ltd., the Canadian arm of North American investment dealer Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE: RJF) today announced that the employee shareholders of 3Macs (MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier Inc.) unanimously voted to combine the firm with Raymond James Ltd.

In recognition of 3Macs' important legacy and history of serving Canadian families over several generations, it will continue to operate under the 3Macs brand as a division of Raymond James, following the close.

"Raymond James' culture of respect, client service, and world class wealth management solutions, and long-term commitment to Canada made this an easy decision."
"Many colleagues, past and present, have made an important difference in the legacy of 3Macs and our service to Canadian investors and their families for the past 167 years," said Tim Price, Chairman of the Board at 3Macs. "We look forward to continuing to serve the needs of our clients with the benefit of a partner who embraces the same client-focused values that have made Raymond James a respected leader."

WOW Festival: smashing the stained glass ceiling
- Details
- Created on Wednesday, 20 April 2016
Can you be religious and a feminist? Does faith help or hinder gender equality and what are women of faith doing about it?
Panelists: Polly Harrar (Sharan Project), Akeela Ahmed (She Speaks We Hear, Government adviser & CMF Family Specialist), Ruth Yamika Awogbade (Magnify magazine), Dina Brawer (Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance), Revd Lucy Winkett (St James's Church, Piccadilly) & panel chair Catriona Robertson (Christian Muslim Forum).
The Weston Roof Pavillion was packed out for the women and faith session last month, with latecomers standing at the back. The Christian Muslim Forum and the Southbank Centre worked together on finding a great line-up and topic for the Women of the World Festival, marking International Women's Day.
The panel and discussion revealed how structures and behaviour which undervalue women are being challenged and changed, both within religious organisations and in wider society.
A workshop on women in places of worship followed, led by Fatuma Khaireh, Revd Anna Macham and Halima Khanom. Activist hubs on refugees and young women at work were offered by Huda Jawad, Angharad Thain and Shaheen Sattar. Our thanks go to the panelists and hub leaders and to the Near Neighbours Programme for support.

"Our bodies are prisons for our souls. Our skin and blood, the iron bars of confinement. But fear not. All flesh decays. Death turns all to ash. And thus, death frees every soul." - The Fountain (2006)
In engineering, and possibly life, there is always this tension between adaptability and structural stability. We want our designs to be highly adaptable, which many confuse with agility. With adaptation, our designs attempt to intelligently respond to change, sensed within the environment, with more change, though generally far more confined and possibly transient, at least initially. But there are limits to how far we can accelerate adaptation, without putting incredible stress on both the environment and the very system contained within. This applies to both structural and behavioral adaptation as it is hard to decouple the two due to system memory.
Structure is important but not because we need rigidity but because structure is the basis for a systems memory. I see structure in code and software architecture as a formation of system memory. Sometimes the memory is formed, tainted, in the early development of software in defining modules, classes and methods. Bones. Other times we create these memory structures in the composing of code and data flows. Blood. If change was indeed accelerated (beyond limits) there would be insufficient time for memory to form around such structures, leading ultimately to a breakdown in the system as prediction in response to change becomes chaotic. And it is not just prediction that is impacted but our ability to respond because the structure is the means for response in many systems. Just imagine the cells in your own body were constantly re-organizing in response to stimulus. You would not be able to effect change in the physical world because you might not actually have an arm to do so and I have not even discussed the effectiveness of this in an environment with many other participates undergoing their own set of changes. The structure of our body is a kind of memory of evolution but it is also how our own memories form after birth. Read on.....

"Depends on the case, but yes, the first prototype *can* be a major investment. Point is, if you invest in anything else, your investment is most likely lost."
This is a generalization, what do you really mean here?
"A prototype then often shows you the right direction."
Of course.
"No. The prototype isn't for performance analysis. You build it to see if your whole project is heading in the right direction, because if it isn't, any performance optimization is wasted time."
Again, you are the one who brought the prototype into the discussion, no one here has said anything about needing to optimize the prototype.
What I did say was that it is important to analyze and predict potential efficiency problems with the design before getting so far into development that it's hard to change. As far as I can tell, your statements like the following seem to agree with my reasoning.
"If the direction is right, the prototype next shows you not how to make the design efficient, but whether efficient design is actually needed."
"See, for example, the above-mentioned Minix mkfs example. In real projects, developers will have it much harder to "guess" how often functionality is used than with mkfs."
I'd wager a guess that the Minux mkfs probably worked within one week and that the student was optimizing it afterwards for six months. If this is the case, then it's not really relevant to a discussion on early optimization. Either way, we agree this situation was ridiculous.
"It means that if you detect performance problems late, you'd still fix them. Just as if you detect other fundamental design issues late, you fix them."
But fixing them late can be magnitudes harder such that many projects simply give up on the notion of fixing them, please see my earlier examples.
"So you don't build such pieces; you build pieces that can be changed even at a late point in the development cycle."
Whether we like it or not, there comes a time in many projects where we pass a point of no practical return. For example the choice between threading, poll/select(), multi-process, or AIO is needs to be decided early on. No matter how good your final design is, it requires a great deal of effort to change models - every single IO point is potentially affected.
Sure it can be done, but those of us with optimization experience can void many performance problems such that we wont have to cross such bridges later on. Again, see my earlier examples.
I'm not talking about profiling each function or anything like that, is that what you're thinking? I'm really referring to optimizing the overall design for performance at a higher level.
"A hobby OS doesn't have users, it does not have requirements, and maybe you optimize performance just for the fun of it. It does not make sense to ask whether performance is 'sufficient' when nobody is actually using your OS for anything."
True, but sometimes those pet projects become famous and for better or worse the future has to deal with legacy decisions whether or not they were well thought out.

The Letter S.
When choosing salmon select those which have been wild caught. Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and selenium. It is also a very good source of protein, niacin and vitamin B12 and a good source of phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin B6.
Salt is essential to life. Select a natural salt (like hand harvested French Salt) which contains trace minerals and
no aluminium silicate – an anti-caking agent found in regular salt. (Aluminium has been linked to increased risk of Alzheimer's disease.). Natural salt should be unbleached, unrefined and not laced with harmful chemical additives. Salt is vital to the interplay of fluids in and out of our cells. Salt regulates the water content in our cells where the water cleanses and allows toxins to be extracted.
Avoiding processed foods will assist in avoiding hidden salt intake.
A essential mineral which we require in trace amounts. Selenium supplements are rarely required, however some people have other conditions which prevent them from absorbing selenium, or people may live in areas where soils are selenium depleted. Observational studies indicate that death from cancer, including lung, colorectal, and prostate cancers, is lower among people with higher blood levels or intake of selenium. In addition, the incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer is significantly higher in areas of the United States with low soil selenium content .
Research suggests that selenium affects cancer risk in two ways. As an anti-oxidant, selenium can help protect the body from damaging effects of free radicals. Selenium may also prevent or slow tumor growth. Certain breakdown products of selenium are believed to prevent tumor growth by enhancing immune cell activity and suppressing development of blood vessels to the tumor.
I call foods which are nutrient dense and low in calories superfoods. For example:-
Acai Berry
Goji berry
Maqui Berry
Stabilized Rice Bran
Feel free to add you own superfood choices as comments

WSKC Mission
The Women in STEM Knowledge Center (WSKC) powered by WEPAN supports efforts to increase the number and prominence of diverse communities of women in STEM by providing an online community of practice with both resources and collaborative workspaces.
Our History
The Women in STEM Knowledge Center (WSKC) began as the WEPAN Knowledge Center (WKC). The WKC officially launched in June 2009, as part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation, granted in 2007 to WEPAN (Women in Engineering ProActive Network). WEPAN recognized the need for a knowledge center to enable researchers and practitioners to quickly and easily locate resources important to their work without reinventing the wheel or relying on outdated information. Such information was sometimes difficult to locate—published across many diverse organizations, websites, educational institutions, and individual project sites.
Knowing that root causes of women's underrepresentation spans STEM fields, and the multi-disciplinary impact of gender in STEM issues, WEPAN leaders decided to share knowledge center information and resources with the larger STEM community.
Extensive research was completed to determine what types of information was important, and who would be most interested in such a knowledge center.
Survey results indicated a high interest in a knowledge center as proposed by WEPAN. Topics of greatest interest to respondents were developed into a custom taxonomy for the Knowledge Center.
The WKC (WEPAN Knowledge Center) was developed in 2008, officially launched in 2009, and has grown to include thousands of visitors across the United States and around the world. Since 2009, the WKC has had over 436,000 pageviews and over 40,000 visitors, with 15,687 of those being unique visitors. The traffic from returning visitors is 62%, average time spent on the site is over 9 minutes with an average of 11 pages viewed per visit, indicating a strong interest in women in STEM issues and information. The site continues to grow in reach and depth, shown by the continual increase in unique visitors, a return rate of 38%, and an increasing number of resources and professional work groups.

text: Frontier Study Tour; Panama Canal Expansion Holds Opportunity for U.S. Ag March 14, 2010 11:08 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Greg Vincent Email By Greg Vincent, AgWeb Editor A container ship full of grain moving through the Panama Canal today will hold about 2 million bushels. When the massive Panama Canal expansion project is complete in 2014, that number will more than double, and potential efficiencies for moving U.S. agricultural products overseas will be astounding. Maria Sanchez, International Trade Specialist and leader of the dry bulk segment at the Panama Canal Authority, says the relationship between the two countries is strengthened because of the dependency each country has on the Canal. About 6% of the Panamanian GDP is derived directly from the canal. With 40% of ships moving through the man-made waterway originating in the United States and 27% being destined there, interest in the canal from both countries is easy to understand. Back to news

Goodness gracious, I think I'm overdue for a post! Sorry for the radio silence, everyone. It's not like we haven't been up to our eyeballs in projects, it's more that none have them, while necessary, have seemed that interesting to blog about! Here's an update on our front garden, though, as we recently expanded it even further and built an area for my rose nursery.
When we first saw what is now our new home, it never occurred to me then that the garden would primarily end up being in what is essentially the driveway, but after observing which areas get the most sun, that's just the way the cards landed and we are doing what we can to make the best of it. I think I've shown you this photo above before? The one on the left was taken about a month after we moved in and the one on the right was taken just yesterday. But this illustrates my point about the driveway….
…as does this. What we've decided to do is use this L-shaped gravel drive as part of the garden, instead, as it has sun pretty much all day long whereas the rest of our yard is dappled. (And someday we're going to reposition the driveway altogether so you don't see cars from the garden area at all.) We went back and forth as to whether to add more raised beds to this part of the garden and decided against it. We'll be grinding the tree stump down and leaving this area around the beds as lawn. The woodpile will be relocated to the shed once it gets painted.
Our home is a humble one, a small mountain cottage originally built in the 1930's as a retreat and a teaching center (or so we were told.) With that in mind, we chose materials that were rustic, simple and budget friendly. It also gave me the excuse to incorporate a lot of pea gravel into the layout which made me happy. I'm pretty sure that no one here will think it too weird, since you're all gardeners, too, when I say I love gravel. It just makes everything look so tidy don't you think? Surrounding the raised beds, which solved our poor soil problems in a flash, are gravel paths and patio. The photo above shows the new planter boxes Jesse built the other day which flanks the entrance. The lady in the photo on the left is our realtor showing us the house for the first time…a year ago today! She was wonderful. You'll notice the front door now has cedar shake surrounding it. That was another one of our winter projects, and probably a separate post!
Here's a view of those planter boxes. Those are some of my sweet pea seedlings which will get planted out soon if the weather cooperates. All the beds recently got a coat of paint: Farrow & Ball "Railings" which in person is a deep graphite hue with just the teensiest hint of blue. In some of these photos, strangely, they're reading as more blue but they aren't like that in person.
Here's my new table in progress. So exciting! The bistro set behind it also got a new coat of paint, Rustoleum "Robin's Egg Blue."
And here it is completed. We used cedar fence planks as the topper. I think this table is going to see a lot of action this summer!
The section of garden where I will growing the baby roses and other seedlings I jokingly dubbed my "propagation station" months ago but the name stuck. It's pretty much a dream come true to be able to finally have a designated area to do this as in the past I stuck the young plants wherever I could find the room. Nearby, is the not-attractive-but-it-gets-the-job-done plastic greenhouse. Hopefully, by this time next year, I'll be showing you a more permanent structure. Gardens are always a work in progress, aren't they?
I do love this new tuteur we recently installed. I can see it from my bedroom window and it looks so pretty! There is a wee 'Sally Holmes' planted with it and, of course, the area around it will be expanded/grass removed.
Here's a view of the front garden looking back the other way. The mulched area in the front will be brought outwards this summer and planted out. It's hard to tell since it's March and everything looks blah right now, but there is a line of roses that flanks the gravel "patio" in the foreground. We also have 72 boxwood babies arriving soon which will line the beds.
Last, an update on the house color. We think we finally found a painter who will do the work for us at a very reasonable price so, cross fingers, the color of the house will be different next time you see it! No more turquoise! 😀
