Remembrance Sunday service, two minutes silence and parade held at Barnsley War Memorial outside the Town Hall – In Pictures
A Fantastic PR photography opportunity came my way last week. I was asked to photograph the press call at Chatsworth House to launch Christmas at Chatsworth. The Sugar Plum Fairy, Clara and The Nutcracker ballet dancers striking poses in the beautifully decorated rooms Chatsworth house dressed for The Nutcracker for the Christmas season, opening to the public on Saturday 5 November.
Attracting more than 100,000 visitors during the festive season, Christmas at Chatsworth is one of the must do events for families. With the house transformed into The Nutcracker, Christmas 2016 is set to be more magical than ever. The fairytale magic of the most famous of ballets will sweep everyone along into an enchanting winter wonderland at Chatsworth this festive season.
The Nutcracker sees the house transformed to present the festive tale complete with lavish costumes, beautiful decorations, wonderful stage sets and a few fantastic surprises in store sure to captivate all who visit.
Christmas at Chatsworth will transport everyone to a fairytale world populated by Nutcracker soldiers; elegant ballerinas and dancing snowflakes. All the cast will be on view – from the Mouse King and the Sugar Plum Fairy to the Nutcracker and Clara – to depict the story in a series of stunning tableau scenes throughout the house.
In the tale, a box of performing toys charms the children and adults alike, but it is the Nutcracker doll that enchants Clara the most. As the curtain rises on Christmas Eve, visitors will be able to share in Clara's adventures as she is swept away by the Nutcracker Prince to a wonderful place where the magic really begins.
Along the way, the beautifully dressed rooms tell the story of The Nutcracker with all the classic scenes from Clara's dream; from the waltz of the snowflakes to the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

A Grade II listed building dominating the the town's South Bay. When completed in 1867 Scarborough Grand Hotel was one of the largest hotels in the world, as well as one of the first giant purpose-built hotels in Europe. The hotel is in the shape of a 'V' in honour of Queen Victoria and was designed around the theme of time:
4 towers for the seasons,
12 floors for the months of the year,
52 chimneys to symbolise the weeks,
Originally there were 365 bedrooms – one for each day of the year.
As Scarborough was a famous 'Spa Town' in its heyday the Grand hotels baths included an extra pair of taps so guests could wash in seawater as well as fresh water. During the first world war the hotel was badly damaged by the German Navy when they bombarded the town in 1914.
Three blue plaques outside mark where the novelist Anne Brontë died in 1849, the contribution of the RAF trainees stationed at the hotel during the Second World War, and the original opening of the building.

Ricky McConnell (Santa Clause) 52, drew a crowd in Glasgow on Monday December 21 when dressed as Santa he Saddled up beside the Duke of Wellington in Glasgow. The statue which stands in Royal Exchange Square Glasgow usually sporting a traffic cone hat was where the publicity stunt was carried out to raise awareness for 'Kids Have Rights 2'. According to media reports Ricky was given a fixed-penalty ticket for performing the same stunt in 2014 after firefighters had to be called in to help him down. Apparently he avoided a fixed penaty this year as the cherry picker hired to lift him into place was also used to get him down. Once safely back on solid ground Ricky was taken to one side by a uinformed officer from Police Scotland for a quiet word.

Six Senses Resorts set to branch out in Oman
Six Senses Resorts & Spas has revealed plans to open an exclusive resort in a secluded fishing village on the Sultanate of Oman's northern Musandam Peninsula.
Six Senses Resorts & Spas has revealed plans to open an exclusive resort in a secluded fishing village on the Sultanate of Oman's northern Musandam Peninsula.
Construction work on the Evason Hideaway & Six Senses Spa at Zighy Bay is already well underway in preparation for a February 1, 2007 opening. The resort, which is being built in Omani style involving and employing local Omanis, will comprise 85 private pool villas across five categories, from one-bedroom units, to a $10,000-a-night palatial reserve that is "fit for a king", according to Bernhard Bonhenberger, managing director and chief development officer, Six Senses Resorts & Spas.
"The resort will be made from local stone that is used by local Omanis to make their houses. They also build large baskets in the summer where they can sit and keep cool and so every villa will house such a basket in the form of a summer house," he said.
"We feel very strongly that Six Senses is all about giving the savvy traveller an experience and a real essence of where they are."
Guests staying at Evason Hideaway & Six Senses Spa at Zighy Bay are guaranteed an "experience" as soon as they approach the resort; they have the choice of arriving by four wheel drive or alternatively they can paraglide with an instructor off the mountain top and down into the bay.
The Hideaway will also house a spa featuring six treatment rooms and two traditional hamman rooms built from stone.
"The two hamman rooms will be less like Turkish baths and more of a family steam room. Each will have an oven underneath, heating the floor so that when it is flooded with water it creates the steam and guests can scrub themselves," said Bohenberger.
Nine of the villas will also have their own spa pavilion and "other unique spa treatments" are currently being developed, he added.

Identity-verification systems have been required to prevent illegal resale such as ticket scalping. The problem in verifying ticket holders is how to simultaneously verify identities efficiently and prevent individuals from impersonating others at a large-scale event at which tens of thousands of people participate. We previously developed Ticket ID system for identifying the purchaser and holder of a ticket. This system carries out face recognition after attendants check-in using their membership cards. The average face recognition accuracy was 90%\, and the average time for identity verification from check-in to admission was 7 seconds per person. The system was proven effective for preventing illegal resale by verifying attendees of large concerts\; it has been used at more than 100 concerts. The problem with this system is regarding face-recognition accuracy. This can be mitigated by securing clear facial photos because face recognition fails when unclear facial photos are obtained\, i.e.\, when event attendees have their eyes closed\, are not looking directly forward\, or have their faces covered with hair or items such as facemasks and mufflers.
We propose a system for securing facial photos of attendees directly facing a camera by leading them to scan their check-in codes on a code-reader placed close to the camera just before executing face recognition. The system also takes two photos of attendees with this one camera after an interval of about 0.5 seconds to obtain facial photos with their eyes open. The system achieved 93% face-recognition accuracy with an average time of 2.7 seconds per person for identity verification when it was used for verifying 1\,547 attendees of a concert of a popular music singer. The system made it possible to complete identity verification with higher accuracy with shorter average time than Ticket ID system.

Despite the brighter picture painted by the rebasing of GDP data, India's economic recovery looks uneven. Real GDP grew +7.5% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, but domestic demand remains weak. Both investment and private consumption are struggling to grow, and the manufacturing sector is muted.
On the plus side, a number of forward-looking indicators, including the purchasing managers' index, suggest an improved outlook. Softening inflation, easing commodity prices and input costs, ample liquidity in the financial system, and rising business and consumer confidence should enable demand to pick up.
Meanwhile, the monetary easing initiated by the central bank in January 2015, with additional rate cuts expected throughout 2015, should stimulate credit growth and boost domestic demand. The timing and extent of further monetary easing will depend on fiscal and external developments, and remain conditional on favourable inflation.
IHS Global Insight expects the central bank to deliver as much as 125 basis points (1.25 percentage points) in additional rate cuts in 2015. Coupled with the government's efforts to revive investment, this should help India's economy to grow +7.4% in the fiscal year (FY) ending March 2015, further accelerating to +7.9% in 2015/16.
The resounding victory the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2014 Parliamentary elections, and the formation of the first non-coalition government in 30 years, have put Prime Minister Narenda Modi in a strong position to transform the economic landscape.
Second budget
The second BJP budget—presented in late February—outlines a clearer path for reforms. However, the approach remains gradual and measured, rather than immediate and fast paced, and structural reforms in the private sector will continue to outpace those in the public sector.
India's plentiful, undeveloped natural resources offer untapped potential, while the skilled, educated labour force boosts prospects for both the private and public sectors. The dynamic, successful overseas Indian community also sparks domestic entrepreneurial activity, both directly and indirectly. Rapid urbanisation will also act as an important force of change in the long term.
However, the government's optimistic economic growth target of upwards of +10% a year still remains out of reach. Such rapid growth would require a substantial increase in public and private investment.
In order to bring the economy back on track and fully realise this potential, India will have to speed up investment, liberalise its rigid labour market, eliminate wasteful subsidies, and diversify from IT-enabled services into value-added manufacturing and financial services.
Net foreign investment inflows are seen picking up on improving post-election business sentiment. Strong post-election momentum has turned into a sharp rise in foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to India, up by a factor of five to US$ 39.9 billion during the first half of fiscal year 2014–15
India will also benefit from lower world oil prices since it is a significant oil importer. The impact of lower oil prices could provide a 0.5% to 0.8% stimulus to Indian GDP growth in 2016.
The most recent BJP budget introduced an array of reforms focusing on tax rationalisation and infrastructure investment. It includes an ambitious plan to upgrade India's poor infrastructure, with nearly US$ 11 billion to be spent in FY2015/16 alone on roads, railways, ports and other projects. In a separately announced railway budget, annual spending was increased 52% from prior spending and envisaged a total investment of nearly
US$ 137 billion in India's outdated rail network over the next five years.
In the energy sector, the budget proposed an expedited commissioning of five ultra-mega power generation projects of 4 GW each and electrification of 20,000 villages by 2020. In housing and urban development, the budget stuck the existing "Housing for all" programme to build 20 million house in rural areas and 40 million houses in urban India by 2022.
This would be financed in part with a National Investment and Infrastructure Fund with annual inflow of INR 200 billion (US$ 3.1 billion). In addition, the government has introduced tax-free infrastructure bonds for projects in the rail, road and irrigation sectors, and encouraged government-run ports to develop under the Companies Act, which should help attract investors.
Construction outlook
Since the Indian business community routinely cites infrastructure as the single biggest hindrance to doing business, ahead of corruption and cumbersome bureaucracy, this budget is a critical step toward advancing Indian competitiveness, as well as representing a boon to construction companies. The construction outlook reflects the current realities in India, while building on the expectation for reform.
The forecast for the residential sector is strong compared to some markets, but weak compared to total Indian construction. Urbanisation, government spending, population growth and an emerging middle class contribute to growth, but investment is targeted elsewhere.
Office construction has been strong for the past five years, driven by India's IT industry. Demand from this sector will wane over the forecast, but anticipated growth in financial and business services will drive continued growth. The forecast for growth in industrial structures does hinge upon market reforms to boost India's manufacturing industries and export competitiveness. Reforms have already been partially implemented for some commercial categories, notably retail trade. While commercial growth features the strongest turnaround over the forecast, this is among the safest projections of any structure type.
Infrastructure has been the second strongest performing segment over the past five years, and it will be the strongest over the forecast. The Modi government understands that this is critical to growth and has created the incentives and proposed the spending to meet the need.
Similar logic holds for institutional spending. For India to realise its potential, the education system requires significant investment, and the BJP has also begun to address this need. New investment in rural communities will also offer improved access to health care.
India's outlook is much improved from a year ago. Low inflation and falling oil prices allow for interest rate cuts, while government policy is increasingly pro-investment and infrastructure spending has become aggressive. The challenge for India is to capitalise on this opportunity and return to being a high growth economy.

"God, You are our Father.
We're the clay and You're our potter:
All of us are what You made us." ~Isaiah 64:8
So Thanksgiving was fantastic....
Mom made created table Martha Stewart herself would have been proud of.
The food was scrumptious, I believe I could even hear Momo herself clapping!
(Happy 90th Bday to Momo by the way)
The table was complete with a perfectly lovely butter shaped turkey...
Sometimes, we think that our molding and shaping of things is much better than what The Creator had in mind....and the next thing you know...
when no one is looking....you have a better idea...
A better idea---a new shape for the butter.
And sometimes, that shape is a potty....or two potties for that matter.
(Complete with flushing handles, because....duh.)
Make no mistake that, I was thoroughly impressed and amused.
Then upon a little introspection, I began to wonder
where I am trying to "over-carve" or "fix" something God Himself is working on.

The interest rate under this plan depends on the borrower's choice. They have an option of unsecured loans as well as the secured method of borrowing. Both are different from each other in different aspects. An unsecured loan method is symbolized with a high-interest rate because it is completely different from the conditions for collateral.

Essex get better of Upminster in annual benefit match
PUBLISHED: 18:50 08 September 2019 | UPDATED: 18:50 08 September 2019

An Essex XI beat Upminster by 63 runs in their annual benefit match to avenge their 2018 loss in front of a big crowd in Upminster Park.
The county - who are chasing Championship and T20 honours later this month - brought one of their strongest squads in recent memory to the well-supported fixture.
And that after several of their players had appeared in Essex League fixtures the day before, in another show of strength between the county and club game.
Rishi Patel provided the early fireworks alongside opening partner Kelly Castle, as Essex raced to 55 without loss in five overs.
Patel hit Nick Ison's first ball, a full toss, for a big six over the pavilion and brought up his half-century with another maximum down the ground as the over went for 22 runs.
John Curtis made the breakthrough when bowling Castle (22) with the total on 87, with Patel (76) holing out off Ison to make it 99-2.
Billy Wright bowled Sam Cook, who was attempting to scoop the ball over his own head, for 12 to leave Essex 115-3 before young Will Frost enjoyed an over to remember.
After taking a catch off his own bowling to dismiss Tom Westley, Frost also claimed the scalp of Jamie Porter (15), who had seen Ison spill the ball over the boundary for a six just seconds earlier.
That left Ravi Bopara and Simon Harmer as new batsmen at the crease and they advanced the scoring at a decent pace to leave Essex 180-5 off 15 overs.
Harmer, on 39, eventually holed out to long off to give Ollie Peck a wicket, but Dan Lawrence was soon peppering the boundary as well.
Lawrence (23) gave Peck a second scalp when also holing out to a boundary fielder in the penultimate over, making it 242-7, but Bopara (58 not out) reached his half-century in the last over and hit James Evans onto the pavilion roof as Essex closed on 264-7.
Aron Nijjar opened the bowling for Essex, as Harmer briefly took over the PA to commentate, and Upminster's James Evans and Louis Pickering made a decent start, scoring 53 in the first five overs.
Porter came onto bowl off-spin and saw Evans hit him down the ground for six, so the Essex seamer switched to pace and, after conceding a four through point, made the breakthrough as Nick Browne held a sharp catch at slip to dismiss Evans for 43.
Louis Pickering was bowled by Ronnie Jackson for 22 soon after, giving Tom Daniels and Frost a chance to shine.
But Frost was bowled by Shane Snater and Daniels followed soon after, picking out a fielder at cover, to leave the hosts 90-4.
Terry Wyatt hit his first delivery faced to the boundary, but then picked out Howe at deep square leg next ball and Rob Mack - making his third benefit match appearance, but first for 13 years - was trapped lbw by Castle without troubling the scorers.
Nick Ison played a nice cameo of 37, before falling victim to the commentator's curse as he picked out a man on the rope, and stalwart Mike Larke followed soon after.
Peck hit his first ball for a six into the pavilion, where several members of the Essex staff were watching the final stages of the fourth Ashes Test, but then picked out Feroze Khushi next ball, leaving Curtis and Wright to produce some late entertainment alongside under-17 Ryan Brown, before Will Buttleman wrapped up the Essex win.
Despite defeat it was another day to celebrate for Upminster, after seeing their firsts avoid relegation and the thirds win the Premier Division title on Saturday.
Harmer then received a cheque for £3,500 on behalf of Essex, thanking Upminster for hosting the day and explaining how the money would go towards all aspects of the county programme, including the women's and disability sections.

When you think of home security, saving energy isn't the first benefit that springs to mind.
After all, this technology is for detecting intruders… right?
Security sensors around the home detect activity to identify an intrusion. Contact sensors detect if a door is opened. Your security panel knows whether you're home or not, ensuring your system is armed when it needs it to be.
However, with a Smart Thermostat integrated into your security system, the same information can be applied to save energy in a very smart way. Let's take a look.
With all this information our Smart Thermostat knows more about what's happening in your home – unlike standalone devices with 'one-room vision'.
It can learn your activity patterns and update them to offer savings schedules that truly fit around your lifestyle.
Contact sensors protect your wallet against waste
Cool air escapes through open doors and windows fast. It's a leading cause of energy waste, and your security sensors can help eliminate it.
With a Smart Thermostat integrated into the security system, your door/window sensors can trigger the thermostat to set back when a door is opened, and then restart when you close the door.
In fact, it even knows when you're on your way home, thanks to our Geo-Services feature. Using your smartphone location as a signal, with Zipabox home automation will detect when you're close to home and can trigger your thermostat to get the temperature just right for when you arrive.
This feature can also override your schedule, enabling your thermostat to adapt immediately when your routine changes, and then adjust back when it knows you're back on schedule.
In the event of your connected smoke / Co2 sensor detecting either hazard, the thermostat instantly shuts your HVAC down, minimizing the chance of toxic gas or damaging smoke circulating through your home.

I'm looking for some advice, I drew a third season bull tag for gmu 79, but after looking at harvest statistics and making a couple trips down there this summer. I'm not that impressed...

Any advice would be great and thanks in advance for helping...

When do birthdays no longer become long anticipated events? When I was a kid, I would start the countdown in April. Start planning the party, figuring out who to invite, what we would do, what hints to drop for gifts.
In northern Wisconsin, there aren't a lot of options for birthdays. No Chuck E. Cheese, or Pizza City, or arcades to throw money at. Usually, my birthdays consisted of hitting the cold, cold waters of Gitche Gumee, swimming for awhile, and then heading back to our palatial rambler and overloading on cake and ice cream. My dad would grab a football and throw hail mary passes into a throng of hyperacticve 8 year old boys. Whoever caught the ball got a quarter. Dad must have thrown down half a paycheck in an hour on that game.
Now though, instead of being anticipated, birthdays are another reminder of how fucking old you're getting. It's like a reminder note from the hospital, letting you know it's time to have your colon examined. There's no joy in it anymore.
34 is sort of a strange age. Old to some people, "a pup" to others, I feel the former rather than the latter of late. Gone are the days of being up every night until the wee hours of the morning with friends at bars swilling booze and telling tales. These days, 10pm hits, and I start thinking of going to bed. I remember when my parents would watch the news and then crash at 10:30pm. How could they go to bed so early? I'd think. Now I know why. It was me and my sister. Kids beat the holy living shit out of you, physically and mentally. Don't get me wrong, it's 100% worth it, it's just A LOT of work. And it's exhausting.
With the wife and kids in Wisconsin now, I feel like a sort of emotional nomad, putting in conversational stakes with anyone that will listen. I have a sort of general malaise hanging over me right now without them here. Especially today. Normally, tonight would be tailgating before a Saint Paul Saints game with Smurfette, the kids and 9 or 10 friends, followed by me coming home and passing out in anticipation of having to work in the morning.
Tonight, however, I will be grilling with two of my closest friends, then heading out to karaoke for a couple hours before going to bed. Not that it's bad. It's great. But they're not family. There were no cries of "Happy Birthday!!" from little voices this morning. No jumping on the bed or singing, more excited than I am that it's my birthday. Smurfette did call on her way to work this morning to wish me a happy birthday, but it's not the same.
Damn, I sound like a crabby old man. I should just put on a dress, a pair of tits and some antlers, and listen to some old sad bastard music. Sheesh. Sorry. Birthdays rule!
I did get a nice pre-birthday gift on the poker scene last night, as both the .05/.10 table I played for awhile and the .02/.04 table I played with Parx later on seemed to want to shower me with birthday gifts in advance. I ended up about $11 for the night. Yay for me.
Now that I've bored you with this whiny post, go read some real bloggers. Pauly has been crushing hard with his Born to Gamble series, and Drizz has a great, well written post about facing the challenges of ambition and physical limitations.
OK, I'm 34. It's 8:45am. Time to get drunk.
Oh, and if you want to give me a present, click that Titan link to your right, sign up and throw a $20 into your account. I'll thank you, and you'll thank me once you've played there. Sooo soft.

Where's the Supa Psychics ??

Post: #1
Where's the Supa Psychics ??
Apologies... just had to post new thread becuase ...Yes! Where's the Supa Psychics that used to be on Psychic1st ??
I read some of the comments about Psychic 1st, I agree with each of the criticisms, I feel bad to name anyone particular psychic, but I can see how boring some of them are, especially 2 males!! Apologies BUT Im only commenting constructively & neutrally, doesn't anyone find the whole show set up and psychics soooo BORING!!?? That aside, quality of psychics - new AND old is very bad, sorry it's fact, same people on every day who present in a boring way and psychic answers are not very good either. It can be changed with good constructive managing, so why isnt anyone really watching and changing it! And where are the super psychics, the real deal amazing mediums and psychics... yes like Leslie Edy! Claire Richio! OMG gorgeous Sky Silverston amazing psychic & presenting is amazing!! That girl had me and my friends glued, as well Lydia Lane, good and funny too! These are the real deal of the psychic world! Had readings with many of the psychics and found the above to be kind of the cream. But I fear theyre not back because ofcourse, looking at what IS presented on Psychic 1st, it wouldnt do their reputation any good.
What is going on with this show, TV is meant to be a little entertaining at least, but it looks like theyre at home in their pyjamas having a chat with someonen totally unimportant and insignificant...instead of paying customers.....yawn
Come on psychic first make it watchable TV please!

I am a young mother of a baby under two years. I have a full-time job as well.
At home I have to prepare supper, and breakfast and lunch every evening for the next day. I also have to prepare my baby's food. I have all the washing and cleaning to do as well.
At work I am overloaded because a colleague went on medical leave and I have to do her job as well as my own.
My husband expects a clean house but does not help me, even with the baby. I have talked to him about giving up my job, but he does not want me to. He just says I am not the first woman who is going through this phase and I must cope.
In the past few weeks I have had the most unbearable backache, and I am falling behind with everything. What can I do to get back on top of things again?
A long distance relationship requires a lot of trust, honesty and emotional maturity.

I met this incredible girl when I was in college, and I really care deeply about her. It is a second relationship for both of us. Her first relationship was long-distance. He started cheating on her after a few months, and she had no idea about it. She even went to visit him and as far as she was concerned they were very happy. He then dumped her just after her birthday.
I knew her at the time but our relationship only started a while after hers ended. We were very happy initially, but then I finished my studies. Because of finances I had to move back home, and this means I am only able to visit her every two months. I am now saving money so that we can move in together soon. We do communicate regularly with IM, video and phone, but it is not the same. I feel I am losing out because I cannot see her face or hear her voice, and that causes misunderstandings that turn out to be quite hurtful for both of us.
She still has her studies and she works two jobs to earn some money. She comes home late at night when her family is already asleep, and she has nobody to talk to.
I am very concerned that she is more and more depressed, and on top of that she is turning into a nasty piece of work - even her friends complain about her behavior.
I really want to help and support her as much as I can, but I feel like I am walking on eggs every time I speak to her. In this way her stress is getting to me. She is now playing this game where she is blaming me for not knowing what is wrong with her, and also not telling me anything – she shuts me out and I feel she is destroying all the closeness we had.
When your partner is insecure, they need to deal with it. Don't allow them to use up your energy.

My boyfriend is 23 and gets panic attacks during the night a few times a week. He has been for medical tests but the doctors cannot find anything wrong. He does not have much of an appetite.
He also asks so many questions – whenever I tell him something, he wants to know the smallest details. Even when I do answer his questions, he just comes back with more and more.
I feel like the longer we are together, the worse it gets. I am not sure how much longer I can cope with this. He has mentioned that he doesn't want to lose me but I am starting to feel smothered. How do I deal with this?
My boyfriend and I have been dating for nearly two years now. Our relationship was the best ever because we can talk about anything – even the stuff we have different views on. He loves to surprise me with little gifts and I always feel better after telling him when something bothers me.
About three months ago things changed for him at work, and I can see he is really stressed out. He does not talk to me about work, and he has gained weight. We don't have sex anymore because he does not feel comfortable being with me while he is so stressed. He has also developed a temper and I can see that this bothers him as well.
He assures me he is still totally committed to me, but I feel I am losing him. What can I do to help him?
Meditation is a means of resolving your own issues. God does not take responsibility for your decisions, but rather equips you to make better decisions.
Inner trauma is reflected in your body. Get to the core with morning pages rather than depressants.
Here are guidelines on how to meditate.
Should your eyes be open or closed? How must you sit? How must you breathe?
You don't need to be an expert to experience the calm, relaxing state of meditation.
Just follow these basic steps and you will be off to a good start.

I have recently discovered meditation and have been meditating for twenty minutes daily for the past two months. I have already experienced some wonderful benefits, for example an increase in my confidence and realizing that I was going to do something wrong before I did it.
I have tried very hard to reach the deep meditative stage where I can directly connect with God and get answers to my questions. At the moment I am going through a lot of changes in terms of my career, and I am really worried about making wrong decisions. I feel that no matter how hard I try to connect to God to get help with these decisions, He is just not there.
What is the process for connecting to God? I am worried that I have selected the wrong career and want God's opinion before it is too late.

Entomophagy Recipes: Cricket Powder Risotto
Slow Simmer Umami Goodness
June 3, 2018
May 12, 2019
May contain affiliate links.
When pressed for comparisons, most entomophagists—myself included—describe crickets as similar in taste to mushrooms, for the earthiness, and umami flavor profile that they both share. This is ridiculous, of course. Mushrooms don't taste like crickets, mushrooms taste like mushrooms, and crickets taste like themselves—something people realize, after they've eaten them a few times, and recognize the flavor. This distinction is made more palpable by putting crickets and mushrooms together in this slow-simmered risotto. When a delicious and juicy mushroom finds its way into your mouthful, you'll know it! In the risotto pictured, I used cricket powder from Entomo Farms.
Total 1hr; Serves 4
- 4 cups water
- 5 tablespoons cricket powder
- 1/2 tsp salt, to taste
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup onion or shallot, finely chopped
- 4 cups (about 3/4 pounds) mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or sage, chopped
- 3/4 cups Arborio rice
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/3 cup frozen peas, thawed (optional)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese or pecorino-romano
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley or chives
1. In a medium pan, make a mild cricket broth by bringing 4 cups water, 5 tablespoons cricket powder, and salt, to boil, then reduce heat immediately and simmer on medium, stirring occasionally. If foam rises to top, skim off and discard.
2. In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium. Add onions or shallot, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft but not browned. Add rice, stirring immediately so rice is completely coated in oil. When rice has taken on a golden color, add garlic, thyme or sage, and mushrooms. Sauté briefly, stirring occasionally, until liquid has nearly evaporated. Pour wine into pan with rice, and stir until liquid is bubbled away and wine is fully absorbed.
3. Cricket broth tends to separate, much like miso soup, so you may need to stir cricket broth in its pot before adding to risotto. Stir cricket broth with a ladle, and add to rice approximately one ladle at a time, adding only after rice has absorbed previous addition. Stir the risotto continuously, adjusting the heat to maintain a gentle bubble, until the liquid is absorbed, about 20-30 minutes. The rice should be a little tender and the mixture should be thick and creamy, not liquid. The most important part here is the texture of the rice—you can always make more broth if you need it, or discard some, but you can't un-cook burned or soupy rice.
4. Add peas, if using. Add butter, and most of the cheese, setting some cheese aside for garnish. Mix thoroughly, until cheese is melted and evenly distributed. Remove from heat and garnish with some remaining grated cheese or with fresh parsley or, if desired. Serve immediately.

Post about the party and joining a gym.
So...I found a gym I can join with exercise I can handle. With an awesome reputation. And the results I want.
That's the rad news. The weird news is...
My neighbor owns it. And I don't know how to go about asking him about it.
I have two options that I can think of:
1) Slip a note under his door and ask about it. I kinda know him, because we met up in town and walked back to the complex together, just talking. Also, he lives on my floor. So we say hi and stuff.
2) I can call the gym for a tour. But my fear: the tour would be lead by my neighbor. And I don't want it to be strange, because I actually want to join. All the yelp reviews are 5 stars.
I've been doing pretty well health-wise: eating more veggies and fruit, walking a lot, monitoring how many Trader Joe's chocolate covered marshmallows I eat (they are the best!), and basically motivating myself to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I'm a pretty strong person by nature-I throw a mean left hook and can basically take on someone twice my size. But I still want to improve, because it would be good for my neurosis and stuff. I want to intensify my workouts. Please, SOS, help!
On to the party! It went really well. Of course, two people decided not to show-but they both got job offers so thats cool. The other guests were awesome! One brought a $300.00 bottle of Rose, which I kept. Traded her with the left over champs. My other two guest were great too. It was a nice gathering. Except, um, I smoke some pot.
Yeah, kinda not a big deal, but I rarely smoke up. I've never had an addiction issue with pot, because I never really did it. Actually, I'm kinda against it, so I guess I'm a hypocrite. I mentioned, when I wrote about my guests last weekend, that it was against complex rules. But my landlady made the exception for my friend-he has a card and mental issues. But he offered me a puff, and I obliged. Well, I couldn't stop laughing and thought people could read my thoughts, among gibberish only I could understand. Here is the appropriate gif:
I basically made them take profile picks for me-which they had no problems with-and in each photo I looked like a complete lunatic. But hey, buy the ticket, take the ride. I suppose I regret nothing!

Westboro Baptist Church plans picket at Des Moines school
Westboro Baptist Church members are planning a picket outside East High School in Des Moines next Monday.
The group reports they will be at the school from 12:30-1 p.m.
They will be at the school because "the youth in this nation have absolutely no hope."
On Monday, the group also plans a picket outside the Davenport West High School.
The group reports it will also be at the Bettendorf Christian Church this Saturday from 4:30-5 p.m. The group said they are protesting the church's social club activities like the "Saturday night kid's club", "lots of coffee" and "pastors in jeans."
A protest is also planned at the Sacred Heart Cathedral Parish in Davenport on Sunday in part because the church allows women preachers and at Christ the King Catholic Church in Moline, Illinois on Sunday.

The New York Times features Power on the Hudson by Robert Lifset in its article about a landmark case of ecology vs. energy production at Storm King Mountain.
Remembering Storm King | Lecture by Robert D. Lifset
In the time that I have I want to think about three questions.
First, why are we here? What precisely happened in the Hudson River valley in the 1960s and '70s? What was the nature of this environmental struggle?
Second, why did it happen? Why did this particular environmental struggle drag on for seventeen years? Why did the environmentalists prevail?
Third, why does any of this matter? Why should we care? What has been the impact of the struggle over Storm King Mountain? What is the meaning of this struggle?

Platform: Nintendo Switch
Release Date: Dec 13, 2018
No. of Players: up to 4 players
Category: Arcade
Publisher: Atari
Developer: Code Mystics
Genre: Classic Arcade
2018 was a great year for Atari fans on many platforms. From retro systems to 4th generation consoles including the Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, there were a few good titles released last year. Rounding out our game reviews from last year, and kicking off 2019 is a review of Atari Flashback Classics on the Nintendo Switch. We spent some time playing the lineup of classic games from Atari's past on the Switch, and to be honest, this to me is by far the best way to play classic Atari games on a newer system. Atari games and the Nintendo Switch just simply feel like a perfect match. Atari Flashback Classics was fun to play in portable mode, as well as in the dock on a television. There are even some games such as Sentinel that are more fun to play in touchscreen tablet mode.
Game Features:
150 Classic Atari 2600, 5200 and Arcade Games: Play seminal Atari titles including Asteroids®, Centipede®, Missile Command®, Pong®, Tempest®, Warlords®, and many more.
Online and Local Multiplayer: Battle for arcade supremacy against friends online or at home.
Online Leaderboards: Compare your high scores with players from around the world.
Switch Functionality: Designed from to take advantage of the Nintendo Switch's greatest features.
Brand New User-Interface: New User-Interface designed to create the greatest classic arcade experience.
When it comes to the Flashback Classic collection of games, there are always my go to games to try on a new system. Super Football has been a solid game along the way, and has managed to keep it's play ability over the years with other games displaying incredible lifelike graphics, sound, and all around realistic game play. Super Football remains my favorite Atari sports game, and I never have an issue testing it on new systems. A game that is missing from the Nintendo Switch lineup is River Raid. This has always been one of my favorite shoot em ups from Atari.
The Nintendo Switch makes playing games a completely new experience, no matter how many times you have played the games in the past. With portable game play in handheld mode, docked play on the television, or even tablet style touchscreen game play, Atari Flashback Classics provided a rich gaming experience on the Nintendo Switch for a line up of games that most would think there was no way to change the style of any of the games in their current format.
This selection of Atari classics included a few arcade games that I had not previously played, and I found a couple that stood out as very fun to play. "The Adventures Of Major Havoc" is a vector based shoot em up and platformer mashup that I instantly found both challenging and enjoyable. "Maze Invaders" is a game that I played for the first time on the Flashback Classics - Volume 3 release for Xbox One. The Switch version has an option to rotate for "Partial View". I set this rotation, and found the game hard to play with the small Joycon. I have never been a fan of playing the Switch with the small Joycon alone. I preferred playing the game in handheld mode with both Joycons attached.
Atari Force Liberator is a shooter in the style of Missile Command with a twist, the player controls an attack from four star ships at the corners of the screen. In your mission, the target of the attack are enemy bases on a rotation planet in the middle of the screen. The player controls a firing cross hair to aim, and fires missiles to destroy the enemy bases, as well as protect the star ships from missiles being blasted toward the star ships by enemy bases that detached from the planet, turned into satellites, and orbit around the planet. The game was based on the Atari Force comic books by DC Comics.
An article cannot be written about an Atari Flashback Classics that includes the arcade version of Tempest without mentioning the game. The original Tempest arcade cabinet was released in October of 1981, and is still enjoyable to play on the Nintendo Switch. Despite the amazing soundtrack and updated graphical tweaks of later versions of Tempest, including the latest release for Xbox One, PS4, and PC, Tempest 4000, the game play of the latest releases still has the same feel as the original arcade version.
Sentinel is a game that took advantage of the Nintendo Switch touchscreen. In the game, the player shoots power pods and energy capsules. In the original 2600 version, the game took advantage of the systems light gun. Playing the game in handheld mode, the crosshairs can be controlled by the Joycon, but I found the easier and more enjoyable way to play the game is in tablet mode with the systems touchscreen, which shows the diversity of gameplay on the Nintendo Switch, even when playing re-released classics.
Some of the features that make playing on new generation consoles unique are online play against other gamer's, online leader boards, and achievements to unlock, among others. When an achievement is unlocked, the player earns a new art piece card related to the particular game. The classic looking art pieces are bright, colorful, and very well done. Another aspect of the game play that includes well done artwork are the game overlays around the main game screens. The authentic look to the artwork brings a bit of nostalgia to classic gamer's.
As in other Atari Flashback Classic releases, the player can control game controls, video, and audio aspects in the menu. I took advantage of this while playing Video Pinball, by setting the left joystick motion and right joystick motion to be controlled by the ZL and ZR buttons to give the game more of a pinball feel when controlling the flippers. This gave the game much more play ability.
Note: Remember to set your controls back to the default settings if changing them for Video Pinball, or your controls will not function properly in other games.
After spending some time playing Atari Flashback Classics for the Nintendo Switch, the final thoughts are that this is the best Flashback Classics released by Atari, AtGames, and Code Mystics. With some new games included in the lineup, navigation that is much smoother than previous versions for other systems, and the gaming aspects that only the Nintendo Switch can provide, this is an all around excellent addition to the Flashback Classics library, and provides unique game play options to some of Atari's best gaming classics.

PH Navy vows support for dev't of IP communities
MANILA The Philippine Navy (PN) is more than willing to work with Indigenous Peoples (IP) communities to ensure their development and prosperity.
PN flag officer in command Vice Admiral Robert Empedrad made this pledge during the courtesy call on him by a group of IP leaders aboard the BRP Ang Pangulo (ACS-25), which was docked at Pier 13, Manila South Harbor Wednesday.
Kasama niyo ang inyong Navy upang bigyan ng pag-asa ang inyong mga kababayan na nilinlang ng mga kaaway. Handa ang inyong Navy na makipagtulungan sa inyo upang magkaroon ng progreso, katahimikan at kaunlaran ang ating mga IP. Marami kaming natutunan sa inyo at taos-puso kami nagpapasalamat(Your Navy is with you to give hope to our countrymen who have been deceived by the enemies. Your Navy is ready to work with you in achieving progress, peace, and development for the IPs. We have learned much from you and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts), he said.
Lt. Cmdr. Maria Christina A. Roxas, PN public affairs office chief, said five out of eight IP ambassadors Datu Awing Apoga, Datu Malapandaw Nestor Apas, Datu Joel Dahusay, Bae Chiary Balinan, and Bae Magdalina Gano had the opportunity to sit with the senior leaders of the Navy and narrate their sad experiences with communist groups.
These tribal leaders just came back from a month-long tour of the United States, where they conducted a Truth Caravan for various Filipino-American communities - which aimed to unmask the abuses done by leftist groups in their communities.
Empedrad considered this encounter with tribal leaders as a learning experience to better understand the real situation of IP communities and the encroaching presence of abusive communist groups.
The PN is partnering with civil society organizations and other stakeholders in promoting peace and the peaceful resolution of conflict through the conduct of consultations and dialogues as part of its support role in the government thrust. (PNA)

here is the start of an exciting new series – animal stamps.
number 1 – a couple of chinese yaks
another of our bovine friends from cameroon – this one only seems to have 3 legs
our first european animal – a hungarian hedgehog – I assume that's a mother handling one of her offspring with her teeth, but what do I know?
This one's a male I think. Predictably elephants in Laos are now an endangered species.
our 2nd european animal this romanian ermine doesn't look very friendly. I like the background colour.
finally a yugoslavian lynx. lynxes haven't done too well for the last 100 years but there's a lot of effort to replenish numbers. if approached by a lynx grab it by the scruff of the neck and drop it in the nearest wheelie bin you can find

J'lem yeshiva terror attack videos posted to you tube
Posted by Thunder Pig on March 27, 2008
The government recently posted three videos showing images from the terror attack at Jerusalem's Mercaz Harav Yeshiva earlier this month in which eight students were killed.
The three videos were posted under the titles "Stop the Terror, Stop the Bloodshed," "Act NOW: Stop The Bloodshed – Stop the Terror," and "Emergency call, March 7, Jerusalem."
While the person named as poster, AtiyaRachel, was not identified as having any connection to the government, TheMarker has learned that the Prime Minister's Office was actually behind the uploads to the popular video site.
This is the first time that a government body has used the site in response to a terror attack.
The first film features graphic and bloody footage shot inside the yeshiva in the wake of the attack, as English subtitles document an emergency call made by a yeshiva student during the attack.
The one-minute video attracted over 5,300 viewings and 88 responses as of Wednesday night. You can view the footage below. Please note that this footage contains images of a graphic nature.
Source: Ha'aretz
And the terrorist was quickly dispatched by an armed student who was down the street from the attack. Imagine how differently things might have been had someone in the yeshiva had been armed.
Yesterday, during the Hendersonville debate, a question was raised about allowing the carrying of weapons on government property and on schools.
I believe all the candidates answered that students should not be allowed to carry. (I will post a video of that question and the responses here when I process it).
**update** 11.26 am The Times-News has video of the question and the responses.
(Their audio level sucks, I'll still post my video later).
**update** 7.07 pm Here's my version of the above video.
The only candidate who gave something close to the correct answer was Fred Smith. He is still wrong about not allowing people to carry concealed in public schools. There is not one policy that can be written that will prevent anyone from entering a school, and blowing away children, unarmed teachers and school employees. Not one. Only physical acts, such as Metal Detectors will screen out most of the firearms. Not all.
My belief is that if eligible students, faculty members, or passers through, are not allowed to carry…then who ever is responsible for the law that prevent it should be held criminally liable, financially liable, and blood liable.
This is one law I do not feel compelled to obey. One day, there will come a situation where a person, or (if we are lucky) people will be present who have disregarded such laws and regulations and they will save lives of the people around them and put down a mad dog masquerading as a human being. I dare any D.A. to attempt a prosecution of the life-saver. God help any D.A. if that person were me. I'd take the case to jury trial and set a precedent.
When it comes to the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, I am a purist. A law-abiding citizen is guaranteed the ability to carry weapons unregulated by the federal, state or local government.

**update** 11.18 am Great Minds think alike. Well, mostly. Ogre has some comments about the recent Virginia Tech Massacre Lawsuit that is proceeding through the legal system.

The public will get a look today at proposed routes for
a four-lane highway that could zip traffic from east Macon to Monroe
County and relieve a bottleneck on Gray Highway.
The cross-county connector is at least 10 years from
completion and likely would cost between $65 million and $80 million in
today's dollars, said Matthew Fowler, who is overseeing the project for
the Georgia Department of Transportation.
Fowler said if the public and local officials support
the project, it will be added to the department's long-range wish list.
The first phase of the project, completed in April, identified a need
for the new road. The second phase, which includes public input, is
expected to be finished in about a month, Fowler said.
Eight variations of the road will be presented today,
including one that would cut through Bowden Golf Course.
Fowler said the proposed routes:
• All intersect U.S.
80 between Irwinton Highway and Ocmulgee East Boulevard.
• All intersect Gray
Highway between Creekside Drive and Wheeler Road.
• Would create a new
Interstate 75 interchange at Riverside Drive, Bass Road, Interstate 475
or Rumble Road.
The goal is primarily to relieve traffic on Gray
Highway, Fowler said. The section of the highway just north of
Interstate 16 carried an average of 47,743 vehicles a day in 2002,
which drops to fewer than 25,000 traveling the road near the city of
Gray, according to the Phase I report.
Jones County Commission Chairman Butch Moore said he
supports the connector because it would relieve a congested area and
spawn businesses at intersections. But he said the idea of a connector
has been around for more than 20 years. The longer it takes to build,
the greater the possibility it will conflict with area development, he
In addition to public input, Fowler said, the department
considers environmental impact and tries to avoid historic resources,
wetlands, churches and other community resources.
At least one area church is interested in the possible
"I think anytime we can ease the road situation and you
make it easier for people to come to church, we like it," said
associate pastor Norm Yukers of Mabel White Memorial Baptist Church.
"Unless it's going to have any (negative) impact on the community."
Yukers said at least 10 percent of the Bass Road
church's membership lives in Jones County.
One member is Commissioner Al Andrews, who represents
the area in southeast Jones County that likely would be most affected
by the new highway.
"There are certainly route options I prefer over other
routes, but I am in support of the concept," Andrews said via e-mail.
"It will open a new growth corridor and will help our citizens get in
and out of the county."
Andrews said most of those who have discussed the
connector with him are excited about it.
Commissioner Larry Childs said the traffic generated by
the connector could be an economic engine, but it could also cause
"I can see some benefits," said Childs, who represents
southwestern Jones County and is a member of Macon Area Transportation
Study Committee. "It's a little early for me to tell you 'yes' or 'no'
real strong."
Paul Harmon, who has owned Circle Package on Gray
Highway for about 25 years, also isn't sure about the connector. "I
think another road ... would be a benefit to the businesses," he said.
Harmon said traffic makes it difficult for customers to
access his store. But he said the traffic increases visibility and
provides more potential customers. "It's kind of a toss-up," he said.

Nicanor Reyes Sr. Facts
1st president of FEU – Founder
1st Filipino accountant
He envisioned a school that would promote the teaching of accounting to Filipinos, a profession formerly available only to foreigners. He wanted to prove that Filipinos were capable and trustworthy in handling the hundred of enterprises that would result with the coming of the independence of the country. For that matter, he finished his studies in the USA for him to be capable enough to establish a school that will cater to his visions
He earned an A.B. in 1915 from the University of the Philippines, a bachelor's degree in Commercial Science from New York University in 1917, and a Master of Arts degree in Business Administration from Columbia University the following year. He received his Ph.D. in Accountancy from Columbia (that's why he is considered the 1st Filipino accountant) which was also the first degree of its kind to be awarded by Columbia. The Japanese killed him during the pacific war (world war II) and some members of the family. Later on his son Nicanor M. Reyes Jr. became the president of FEU
