I made this last night. I must say I have had better. Like other reviewers who said the soup was bland I have to agree. I would add more salt and pepper to taste rather than sticking with the described amounts. Also, I have made a better potato soup on my stove top in a lot less time and with a lot more flavor than this recipe. Probably won't make this again.

Jake Pavelka
It was the reality showdown (or meltdown?) of the year on Monday's "Bachelorette" special, in which Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi faced off in a battle of the he said/she said star-crossed lovers, regarding their nasty breakup.
What started off as a fairytale romance on "The Bachelor" turned into a bitter exchange of insults, with Vienna's parting words for Jake being, "You're a fame whore" and "the fakest person I've ever met." Not exactly hearts and flowers.
Things get ugly during the much-anticipated July 5 ABC interview with former "Bachelor" lovebirds Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi. -- PopEater

"Avatar's" Zoe Saldana Is Engaged! -- Us Weekly
Reality TV star Jake Pavelka is picking up the pieces and moving on from his breakup with Vienna Girardi, starting with a guest appearance on "Drop Dead Diva."
"People, when they watch, shouldn't expect the nice guy. Tony Dablin [his character] is not a nice guy," Jake explained to "Extra" in our exclusive interview.
"Extra" has received the following statement from Warner Bros. and ABC Television:
"Former 'The Bachelor' participants Jake and Vienna taped an interview last night. As this was the first time the two had seen one another since their recent breakup, the atmosphere was emotionally charged. However, and contrary to reports that have surfaced about the interview, at no time was anyone ever physically in harm's way, nor was anyone ever threatened with physical violence."
Jake spoke exclusively to "Extra" about his breakup with Vienna and their face-to-face special, airing on "The Bachelorette," Monday, July 5.
In an exclusive interview with "Extra's" Mario Lopez, "Bachelor" Jake Pavelka says he felt disrespected as a man by ex Vienna Girardi and that he'll forgive her, but it's going to take some time to forget.
"Extra" and Popeater.com want to know: If you were Jake, would you take Vienna back?
In "Extra's" exclusive interview with "Bachelor" Jake Pavelka, he set the record straight on why he and Vienna split.
"Like any relationship, you know, you have problems," Jake told to "Extra's" Mario Lopez. "You're two different people. You have to work things out."
"When I got down on one knee I meant it," the "Bachelor" star confessed. "I loved her and was willing to fight for her. In my opinion, you really don't break up until you're ready to about kill each other -- or you sell the other person out."
The recently split "Bachelor" couple Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi will be face-to-face again July 5 on ABC's "The Bachelorette."
"Extra's" Mario Lopez sat down with "The Bachelor" star in a very candid and exclusive interview, in which Pavelka opened up about his recent break-up with fiancée Vienna, rumors in the media -- and their upcoming reunion on "The Bachelorette."
"Bachelor" Jake Pavelka and ex fiancee Vienna Girardi haven't wasted anytime talking to the press about their shocking split, but both have very different stories on how their fairytale romance crashed in a flurry of different stories.
Vienna claims she and Jake hadn't been intimate for over four months, while Jake says that's simply not true.

Mom Lost 56 Pounds on Wii Boxing
She shares her story with momlogic.
When mom Donna Schwartz Mills tipped the scales at 184 pounds, she knew she had to do something about it. Fast. But, as a busy working mom, she just didn't have time to go to the gym. So she tried her daughter's Wii Boxing video game ... and lost 56 pounds!
Momlogic met up with Donna at Whole Foods in Pasadena as she participated in a Nintendo cooking competition. The event, hosted by David Ruprecht of Supermarket Sweep, challenged the contestants to find the ingredients and cook a meal all with the help of the new "Personal Trainer: Cooking" for Nintendo DS game. When the competition was over, we asked Donna why she credits Wii Boxing with helping her get fit.
momlogic: What was the moment that you decided to lose weight and getting healthy?
Donna Schwartz Mills: A friend of mine, who was my age, had a stroke. She has always been very healthy. She is a runner. She took care of herself. I thought, this woman should not be having a stroke, I'm the one who should be having the stroke. That was the impetus.
ml: What made you want to lose weight through Wii?
Donna: I ended up signing up for a weight loss clinic. The years of yo-yo dieting weren't doing any good. I knew I had to get serious.They were telling me to exercise. Basically I was trying to avoid going to the gym. Every day, they would ask me, 'What activity have you done today?' And I hadn't done anything, so I fired up my daughter's Wii and tried boxing. I did that for a couple weeks and it helped motivate me. It got me moving and I started going to the gym. It got me inspired. And any time I couldn't get to the gym, I would do at least fifteen minutes on the Wii.
ml: What other exercise did you try that didn't work?
Donna: Walking uphill, in the smog, in the middle of July in the heat ... that wasn't fun. I need air conditioning!
ml: Had your weight gone up since you gave birth to your daughter?
Donna: Having a child at forty and then trying to lose the weight was hard. The weight gain was gradual. Before I knew it, I weighed 184 pounds!
ml: Would you recommend Wii Boxing and Wii Fit to other moms?
Donna: Yes, I would. Wii Boxing is fun. It can get you moving. When my trainer went on vacation, I worked out with Wii Fit and did lunges and other exercises. I thought, 'Hey, this is working my glutes.' And I like being able to chose my trainer on the Wii Fit.
ml: Do you play Wii with your daughter?
Donna: No, she beats me. Mostly I play when no one is around to make fun of me. My daughter is so much better than me at everything. She is a competitive gymnast. She has great balance, grace, poise, stamina...
ml: What is your advice to other moms who want to get fit?
Donna: Trial and error. See what works for you. If it is something you don't like, you are not going to stick with it. Also what worked for you in your 20s might not work for you in your 40s. Give yourself permission to try new things. You never know what's going to happen. If you told me two years ago that I was going to lose 56 pounds and be featured in People magazine, I never would have believed you. Yet, here I am.
Do you use your kid's Wii for workouts? Comment below.
I got my Wii specifically for losing weight. For Mother's Day, I even got myself Wii Fit and thanked my hubby & kids for it!
Congratulations to Donna! Way to go!!
that is great my stepdaughter has one i think i'll try it out for myself :)
Congratulations Donna!!! You have inspired me to start working out again on the Wii fit. I started & was doing good at one point but got lazy. I am going to start again.
Thank you!!
I bought myself the Wii system and Wii Fit for Christmas. As soon as it arrives, I'm going to get started.
Good job Donna, I am inspired with your story. We cannot afford to buy a wii fit, but I keep trying to win one. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Great Job
That sure is what I want a wii for Christmas for! Economically we can't afford it but 1st chance I get I hope to prove that will work for me too!!!
After having my third child, we got the wii and wii fit for my birthday and christmas and I lost 40 lbs!! I now have the Jillian Michaels game also, it is much more challenging, My muscles were so sore I couldn't walk for five days after playing!
Love It!!
I love this story!
I've been disabled with a neck injury for over 4 yrs - gaining over 50# (((OMG))) This is a workout I could do at home in the privacy of my own LR and at my own pace. At 48 yr, I'm seriously worried about heart attack, stroke and blockage.
Those Wii consoles and games are too expensive for me - are there any less costly alternatives?
I have been using Wii boxing as my workout plan for the past 2 months. It was a great change of pace from the gym (you've got to change it up). I have been losing inches like crazy. I love it. It keeps the heart pumping. I have a goal of 45 more pounds, and I whink the Wii and I can do it.
I love using the wii. My husband and I bought it for the kids for Christmas. I don't exercise that much because I have Fibromyalgia. When I stepped on the scales last week and saw that my 5'2" frame was now 150 lbs I was devastated. I know that I need to exercise more but it's hard to do when you're in pain all the time.
The first night I used the wii I had so much fun! The next morning, however, I woke to excruciating pain. Since then, I've learned to limit myself when using the wii. It's only been 5 days since we've been using the wii but, I've lost 2 lbs already. I have fun doing it so I am more apt to stick with it!
So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can't resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don't worry about my Doberman. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!" When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe's apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled, "Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!" To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"
Simply needed to point out I truly respect your work on this blog site and the high quality posts you make. These type of post are usually precisely what keeps me personally going through the day time. I discovered this post right after a excellent buddy of my very own advised it to me. I perform a little blogging personally and I am always pleased to see others adding quality info towards online community. I most certainly will certainly be following and now have book-marked your web blog to my twitter account for others to see.
My partner and I really enjoyed reading this blog post, I was just wanting to know do you ever trade featured articles or blog posts? I'm continuously searching for somebody to make trades with and merely thought I might ask.
I was just studying this post it is extremely well written, I am exploring through the internet trying to find out exactly how to do this weblog thing and your site is simply extremely professional.

TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels, Philadelphia Phillies, Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers, New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Nationals, Chicago White Sox
The San Francisco Giants decided to bring back the core of players that carried them to the 2012 World Championship. Angel Pagan was one of those players.It took Pagan a long time to finally earn a full-time job in the majors as his age-31 season in 2013 will be just his fourth full year, but don't hold that against him. He makes living mostly with his legs and has developed a reputation as one of the best baserunners in baseball — last year only Mike Trout, Jimmy Rollins, and Alcides Escobar contributed more runs above average on the base paths than Pagan's 8.3 mark.And despite the fact that Pagan is getting older (sigh, aren't we all) one could make an argument that he's actually getting faster. Now, I don't know of a site that tracks players' 40-times or their speed from home to first, but I do know of a couple measurable stats that bear this out: triples, infield hit rate, stolen bases, and speed score (sort of a catch-all stat). Pagan's 15 triples last year were a career high a...

Urban and regional dynamics in Poland
AbstractIn this exploration of urban and regional dynamics in Poland after the transition, the authors find that the degree of urbanization, and primacy remains low in Poland. The largest cities are not growing at the rate that would be expected if post-transition adjustments were operating freely. As a result, Poland is not fully realizing external economies from urban agglomeration. Internal migration decreased significantly in the 1990s, with rural-to-urban migration declining dramatically. Current population levels everywhere seem frozen at a degree of urbanization that is low by international standards. Migration levels do not respond to unemployment differentials, perhaps because Poland's continuing housing shortage, deters migration. Housing construction, which was already low, fell by half in the 1990s, and has only recently begun a slight recovery. A significant number of mostly young, and educated temporary migrants leave Poland annually, many to find employment abroad. This may reduce pressure on the Polish labor market, but also keeps dynamic actors our of the domestic labor force, reducing growth in urban businesses and industry. Employment in manufacturing and agriculture is relatively concentrated, but specialization seems to have declined in recent years, perhaps reflecting barriers to labor mobility - which could limit growth. That employment in the manufacturing sector is quite concentrated, is to be expected in a formerly planned economy. But employment in the service sector, is also quite concentrated. A geographic divergence of service activities is not explained by dominant growth in specialized financial, and business services in the capital alone. Poland's policymakers should find a way to provide housing, thereby reducing barriers to labor mobility, and growth.

Moorea Villa Rental Photos and Description
2 bedrooms, 1 mezzanine, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 8
Welcome to the Robinson's Cove Villas, located along a small private beach in the heart of the splendid island of Moorea, 30 minutes away from Tahiti. Houses are rare in the neighborhood, and untouched nature is everywhere waiting for you. Our beach Villas are in an exceptional site, right by the lagoon in Opunohu bay (the most beautiful bay in all Polynesia according to yachtsmen!), surrounded by breathtaking peaks and by a luxurious nature famous for its untouched and original beauty. It is in this surrounding that historical films about Polynesia are regularly shot (Namely 'The Bounty' in 1984 with Mel Gibson, etc). The largest private yachts anchor frequently not far from the Villa, as 'Robinson's Cove' offers complete tranquility and an excellent shelter, it did for Captain James Cook who discovered the bay and was the first to moor there in 1777; nothing has changed since that time!
Car:: Car: Mini van TOYOTA (A/C, 7 seats) is available or FORD Sedan (A/C, 5 seats), under a rent and drive package. Please ask for conditions and details by email.
Snorkeling / Diving / Lagoon:: Snorkeling: The beach in front of the villas is on a small undewater plateau where you can walk for about 20 meters (60 ft). Then there is a drop off 25 meters (80 ft) deep. This drop off, home of many sea species, lets you snorkel in full safety among the fish only a few dozen yards from the Villas. There are no big waves on our beach, because we are protected in the bay, so this is excellent for kids and for snorkeling!
Diving: There are many scuba diving centers in Moorea, Alix our caretaker will help you. Moorea is famous for his diving spots.
Excursions on the Lagoon: Whether a simple ride to discover the lagoon or an encounter with whales and dolphins, or waterskiing at sunset, many service providers can pick you up by boat directly at our Villas.
Power Boats: It is possible to rent small power boats with or without a license, for one or several days.
Activities with our partners:: Horseback Riding: There is a ranch not far (about 10 minutes by car) in the Opunohu Valley for memorable rides in spectacular scenery made of peaks and lagoons. 4x4 and Quad bike: For those who prefer the comfort of a motor vehicle, a discovery of the hidden paths and breathtaking peaks can be done in a Jeep or in Quad ATV motorcycle. Hiking: On the mountainside or throughout the tropical jungle, there is nothing like hiking, but it is safer to hire a guide! Marathon: Marathons, triathlons, etc. are regularly organized by the Te Moorea Sports Association. Golf: The new Moorea Golf Course is 15 minutes drive away, near the airport. Spa : Several Spas are located in Moorea Island, including Helen'Spa, who created the first Tahitian Spa in 1999, ranked among the most beautiful spas in the world.

Guestbook comments from the manager
Aloha Denis from Hawaii,
I am sorry for not responding to you sooner. Louise and I are back home and settled in. It was very hard getting on the ferry to leave Moorea. Our time spent there was one of the best vacations we have had together in the last 30 years. Your place is a very special and one that will remain with us for years to come. The evenings spent on the lanai listening to water lap on the rocks put us into a different state of mind. It has been a very long time since we haven't been interupted by a cell phone call or had to answer e-mails at the drop of a hat. Alix was outstanding! The only time we saw her was when we needed her help and then there she was. I have passed Robinson's Cove on to a young couple who are friends of one of my managers. They are being married next year and I have recomended them to stay with you. They are from New York so you may hear from them.
Best of luck to you and your team.
Barry & Louise

Go List: San Francisco
The Alembic
The opening of this urbane boîte in 2006 went a long way in helping Haight Street shed its hippie image. The bar is the focus, with its inspired cocktails like the Promissory Note, made with tequila, ginger liqueur, honey and a dash of absinthe. But the bar food is no mere afterthought. We loved: Sliders filled with albacore, avocado and South African peppadews.

James Joyce's Love Letters with Martin Starr
Get in the Valentine's Day spirit with this NSFW reading of author James Joyce's filthy love letters to his wife, Nora.
Valentine's Day romance for ya!
(Source: bazooka-and-soda-powder)
I preface the following interview with the information and occasion that facilitated my interview. The English Department at the University of Texas at Austin hosted a screening of "Anonymous," a new film by director Roland Emmerich. The screening took place in the Texas Union Theater on 27 September 2011 at 7:30 P.M. My interview followed a Q&A discussion panel between the audience, director, writer, and visiting Actors from the London Stage. It was a fortuitous event that I was privileged to work as a member of the Texas Union Hospitality staff. A link to the event website is provided here. https://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/english/events/20074
I am nervous. Sweaty-palmed, chain-gum-chewing, pacing around nervous. I also look ridiculous. I volunteered to work as security for the Union Building while they pre-screened a film about Shakespeare having not authored any of his plays. I am instructed to guard the two backstage doors through which the film's director will arrive. He isn't some independent filmmaker struggling to break into the Hollywood scene. This man has been around for more than a decade. He directed the likes of Mel Gibson, Will Smith, John Cussack, and Jake Gyllenhaal! He has an eye for explosions and is very German and also arriving through the door, my guard post, at any moment. I about jump out of my skin at the sound of distorted radio traffic emitting from the AV man's back pocket. Shortly thereafter, a cough from an audience member almost causes me to swallow my gum. (I pop another piece nevertheless.) Roland Emmerich doesn't know it yet, but I, the 100-pound security guard in a pink dress, will ambush him and interview him about his work as a director and his life as a celebrity. And there it is, a knock at the door!
Outwardly cool and inwardly alight, I swing the double doors open to find a group of well-dressed, overly chic men. Roland stands in the middle and it takes me a few seconds of face-searching before I home in on my target. He looks just as he does in his IMDB photo. His hair is stylishly combed and irresistibly silver. He has that "I've been around the blocks a few times and know a thing or two about a thing or two" appearance I would imagine James Dean having in his late fifties. He is cooler by far than Anderson Cooper…right there alongside George Clooney and Richard Gere. Yet, he doesn't have that A-List "actor's director" vibe. This is probably because he is all but dancing in place while his chaperone asks me how much more time they have before needing to go onstage. "Roland," he informs me, "has to piss."
There are only a few minutes before the end credits role and the audience will want to see the man responsible for the two hours of Elizabethan historical drama they have just witnessed. Roland's film, Anonymous, postures an alternative author (or two) wrote the great plays heretofore credited to William Shakespeare's brilliant quill. A discussion panel with the film's writer, John Orloff, Actors from the London Stage, and professors from UT's English Department is occurring to explain the film's claims: a treat indeed for the die-hard Shakespearians ready to sink their teeth into Roland and his team. On any other occasion, I too would have been more than happy to passively observe the panel, but I had to plot my impromptu interview and make sure I had the opportunity to glean some knowledge from an accomplished director's brain. Another tap at the door mere moments before the exit music sounds, and I invite Roland Emmerich backstage.
His bladder blew it! The men's room trip cut into my guerrilla interview and he had but a few moments' time before being introduced onstage. For one second he was beside me (giving me the one over—pink dress, walkie talkie, how very impressive a security guard I was indeed!) and the next he was onstage, leaving me to mentally struggle with how I would approach him once the commentary concluded.
An hour later he was signing autographs and taking pictures with those lined up, iphones out, and eager to take a picture with the rather prolific director. As the line waned, I timidly approached and stood right beside him, wielding my walkie-talkie and trying to look as important as possible. The following conversation, a very animated and engaging discussion, arose from my simply leaning against the stage as he sat over the edge of it, inches away from each other, and that much closer to me achieving my future filmmaking endeavors:
TW: I just wondered if I could ask you a few short questions. As a filmmaker, what do you love most about your job?
RE: The variety! I get to make many different films. I did this one…[Anonymous] Elizabethan, you know? My next movie is set a thousand years in the future. I have the best job in the world…it's a fun job and they pay me well for doing it. I didn't get paid much for this, but am for my current film. I just really like to be able to get involved in a variety of projects and choose what I want. Good pay or not, right? I also get to put my own experiences in my films. And actors! YES! Yes, yes, I just met up with them to screen this movie at a festival and we had a hard time staying serious. Getting to know them and using them. I can get great performances out of them.
TW: Exactly! Well, what would you say is the worst thing about directing or the film industry in general?
RE: Doing this kind of thing.
TW: Is it exhausting?
RE: Taxing, yes. The promotional commitments…they get confusing. I get emails from the creative department about current projects and I still have to be out doing this kind of thing. It's taxing…confusing.
TW: Well, what do you think you would do if you could change anything about the industry?
*After I posed this question, he looked from my face toward the ceiling, cocking his head and squinting his eyes as if looking through the sheetrock for the answer. After a few frustrated sighs, for this was by far the hardest question for him to answer, he looked at me again and with conviction replied:
RE: Some movies get made that shouldn't get made, right? I mean Jackass 3 makes more money than The Social Network.
TW: So you'd want to change the audience?
RE: [Laughs] Alien was the sequel to Alien. Terminator was great, but did we need a Terminator 3? Yeah, movies get made that shouldn't get made…the audience…how do you change what people want? You create a better product…better movies.
TW: That being said, what advice would you give aspiring filmmakers?
RE: Do what you love. Believe in yourself. In Germany I wanted to be like Coppola, and that's not what you did…
TW: They believe in more practical degrees over there.
RE: Yeah, what I wanted to be was considered a hobby. I made four movies in Germany and came here (USA) and made those same movies. They just liked them over here…I get to put my own experiences in my films. Do what you love and others will love it too. Not everyone! [Laughing] But some.
The theater is nearly empty now. Only the remaining staff and a few photo takers were left and Roland was beckoned by his ever-attentive chaperone back through the double doors in which he came. I asked for a hug and he willingly obliged. He went above and beyond my expectations. With his honesty and visible passion for filmmaking, I too can go forward into the industry with confidence, drive, and hopefully a little luck that rubbed off the dinner jacket of a great director and onto my pink frock during a memorable embrace that forever remains a highlight from a mere class assignment•
Roland Emmerich directed films including but not limited to Independence Day (1996), Godzilla (1998), The Patriot (2000), The Day After Tomorrow (2004) 10,000 B.C. (2008) 2012 (2009), Anonymous (2011).

After a drawn-out session that lasted into the night, the EU Environmental Council at last came to an agreement on what it thinks should be done to fix the waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) Directive. Despite some moves in the right direction, the agreement reached by the Council was disappointing in its lack of ambition.
E-waste contains many materials, some of which are highly valuable, toxic, or both. As the European Commissioner explained to ministers in the Council, the revision of the WEEE Directive is important not only from an environmental and health protection perspective, but also as "a test of how serious the EU is about resource efficiency." It appears from the Council decision that the EU is not too serious at all.
During the session, the President (currently Hungary) explained, if the EU wants to take a "flagship role" in the efficient management of resources, then it needs to have the right legislative documents on waste management. Indeed, he explained that the EU needs to see e-waste "as a valuable resource rather than a burden".
Yet this ambitious talk was unfortunately not reflected in the Council's decision. For instance, consider the Council's position on collection targets for e-waste. If the Council has its way, four years after the revised Directive comes into force, less than half of the electrical and electronic equipment put on the market will need to be collected as e-waste.
This will leave more than half of the e-waste in the EU unaccounted for - either lying wasted in storage, dumped domestically in landfill or on other countries where management requirements are less stringent. In these scenarios, precious resources are squandered, and given the toxic content of e-waste, communities and the environment suffer.
Also, the Council's decision on recovery targets missed the opportunity to exploit the resource efficiency benefits of reuse. For instance, reuse of a functional computer is 20 times more energy efficient than recycling it. Indeed, the WEEE Directive recognises this, by stating that reuse should be favoured over recycling. (See Computer Aid International Special Report: Why reuse is better than recycling.)
The Council made the positive step of including the reuse of whole appliances in the recovery targets, as opposed to components only. But, by failing to give reuse a stand-alone target, combining it instead with an increased target for recycling, the Council may not encourage increased reuse in practice. This is because current infrastructure is geared toward recycling.
All is not lost, however; the Council will meet with the European Parliament later in the year, to negotiate an agreed position, before any revised laws are in place. As the European Environmental Bureau explains, given that the European Parliament's position was much more ambitious than the Council's, we can only hope that their position wins out in the end. Only then can the EU begin to be seen to be walking the walk on e-waste.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that claims about racism's death in America and Britain is a big lie.
The fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9 2014, is proof white supremacy, in substance rather than form, survived the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
The New Jim Crow reverses affirmative action. It racially profiles Africans American as prone to crime and dysfunctional families, a "black problem" managed through the criminal justice system.
As police violence against people protesting Michael Brown shooting shows denial of African-American democratic rights is as repressive as it was in the Birmingham campaign.
2014 - Birmingham, UK, the fate of black Britons is in a very real sense worse than that of African Americans before the Civil Rights Act. Black Americans had the Bill of Rights, a protected right to free speech which Martin Luther King Jnr used to good effect. Britons do not.
40 years after the 1976 Race Relations Act, even the All Party Parliamentary Group on Race and Community acknowledges racism affects black Britons worse than it did in 1964.
In 2001, Greg Dyke, said: "I think the BBC is hideously white".
In May 2014, Tom Murtha describes the new housing allocation scheme as "racist".
Like Americans of colour, black Britons are seen by public authorities as the social "problem" rather than structural racism from which they suffer. As a result, post 1976, there has been a shift away from efforts to remove barriers to equality and diversity, such as race discrimination. In a frightening echo of 1930 Germany, the emphasis is now on managing Britain's "black problem" via the criminal justice system.
In fact as far as black Britons are concerned, the police state is less a fascist's "wet dream" and very much an existing fully integrated "multi-agency" system of "bantu" control consisting of: police, registered social landlords, educational institutions, social services, the judiciary, etc.
The voice of protests for equality and diversity is denied by the judicial system, like under South African apartheid.
In Ferguson black are waking up to the fact that freedom of speech against white supremacy once again carries a price, prison. They say however: "let the jailers open the gates, we are going to jail".
A right not worth going to prison for, is a right not worth having: No Justice, No Peace.

What we didn't hear about was a how an African-American women who in the course of protecting herself from an abusive husband who beat her while she was pregnant, shot a gun that she legally owns into the air. No one was hurt, but she is now looking at 25 years. Yes indeed, you read that right, facing 25 years.. Her name is Marissa Alexander, she lives in Florida, is a mother of 3 and everyone should know her name and her case.The person who prosecuted her case is Angela Corey, the prosecutor in the George Zimmerman case.

To accept Zimmerman's version of events and relieve him of any culpability is to ignore Trayvon Martin's right to walk from the 7-11 back to his place of residence unthreatened. To accept Zimmerman's version ignores Trayvon Martin's right to "stand his ground" and defend himself against the perceived threat of an older and larger man following him and questioning his right to be where he is.

The Brits like it but a lot of people call their dads and grandfathers Poppy. The sexual connotation comes from women calling their boyfriend/ hubby, Papi
I just find it cutesy and childish but cutesy names are popular overseas

Lotus * Tallulah * Noor * Jasper * Blaise * Linden

I love Poppy. I think it's cute and a refreshing change in the states from all the Violets, Lilys, and Roses we have. The only problem I could see with the name is I don't imagine it would age well."A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one."

Yes, the papi connection as kind of a sexy nickname for a Hispanic man is sort of problematic, and it also bugs me a little, the grandfather connection...but my real issue here is the phrase "popping her cherry" as a reference for a girl losing her virginity.

10 gardening tips learned the hard way
The right preparation can greatly reduce the possibility that you'll kill every plant you touch.
This post comes from Marla Walters at partner blog Wise Bread.
I am proud to announce that, as a novice gardener, I no longer wear the "black thumb of death" badge. Stuff is actually growing, and we can eat it!
Here are 10 tips from my (ongoing) experience. (See also: "The urban dwellers guide to gardening.")
Check out your dirt. Last year, we took a soil sample to our local university's agriculture department. For the low cost of $12, we received a soil analysis report. Based on that report, we were able to add nutrients that were noted to be deficient in our soil. This service is also frequently offered at Cooperative Extension offices and is well worth the small fee. Take your report to a farm supply or co-op (where we have found bulk nutrients for much less) and load up on the needed supplements.
Be realistic. They get me every year -- glossy packets of seeds at garden supply stores. The little voice in my head says, "Wow, wouldn't it be neat to grow my own broccoli?" and I succumb. The problem is, my climate stinks for growing broccoli, and the heads grow to about the size of a quarter. That is just one example. I have tried many seeds over the years, only to be disappointed.
Find out what grows well in your area, and stick with that. My climate is wonderful for growing beans, squash, kale, Swiss chard and bok choy, and I have learned to fight the urge to waste space, money and energy on the wrong plants. If you don't know, ask employees at garden centers, your neighbors who garden, or your co-workers. People who grow vegetable gardens are very willing to help those of us who are learning.
Also ask yourself: "Is somebody in my family going to want to eat this vegetable?" If no one likes cabbage, why bother?
Fence it. My husband fenced our garden area, and thank goodness he did. I don't have to worry about dogs, kids or feral pigs wrecking the patch. If you live in an area with deer, you probably already are familiar with the aggravation -- they just mow everything down.
If you have a gopher problem, you may need to either plant your garden in raised beds with bottoms screened with ½-inch hardware cloth, or go to the more drastic measure of installing an underground fence surrounding your garden plot. Save yourself the grief and make sure your garden area is protected to the extent practicable.
Fertilize it. Every gardener has his or her own fertilizer preference. Manure stinks, but it works. Using a commercially composted manure product helps ensure that no pathogens will survive to contaminate your vegetables. I use composted chicken manure; a co-worker swears by composted steer manure. My neighbor only uses Miracle-Gro. Whatever you choose, your plants will love it. Post continues after video.
Make weed control easy. While I do enjoy going out to the garden after work to pick vegetables and pull some weeds, I do not enjoy it when the weeds get the upper hand. Then you are looking at a lot of work and a sore back. While I am not crazy about the way it looks, weed-control cloth saves a lot of work. I keep strips of this in between rows, and it is a great detriment to weeds.
Water it. Initially I thought I would just water the garden every day with a hose. That was unrealistic. If I am late getting home, there goes the garden. My husband installed a simple sprinkler system so that I can just turn a handle near the house and water. While there was a small cost, the convenience was well worth it.
Annihilate slugs. There is nothing so disheartening as going out to the garden, where there had been a row of beautiful seedlings, to find them chewed to the ground. All that work! I am using Corry's Slug & Snail Death, which works very well. A co-worker swears by the beer-in-a-shallow-dish organic method, but my slugs apparently have been to AA and are not interested. Chemicals are a must for me.
Record your progress. When we started the garden, I started a garden journal. I have also taken photos over the years, which gives me encouragement. I have a record of which plants worked, which didn't, and what soil implements we used.
Give it some sun. Before you plant, make sure your patch isn't shaded from the sun. Over the years, we have hacked back many of the trees that prevented sunshine. I can even grow tomatoes now, which love sunshine.
Share it. Something I find joyful is being able to share vegetables from the garden. The favor always comes back, either in the form of something from that person's garden or fruit tree, or in the form of a thank-you treat.
Before embarking on a vegetable garden, I would recommend reading "The $64 Tomato" by William Alexander. A humorous and realistic account of a beginning gardener, it will help you stay frugally in check when you start.
Readers, if you have any tips for beginning vegetable gardeners, please share.

Very good muffins! I made mine with graham flour (100% ww) and agave nectar and they turned out beautifully. I put a bit more baking powder (1/4 tsp) into the batter to give the WW flour a bit more "lift". I also saved a few tablespoons of flour to toss on the blueberries--doing this kept the berries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. The result was a very tasty muffin with blueberries studded throughout. I'll make these again!
Limelight Blueberry Muffins

airforcemommy Posted: 05/04/09
This recipe was just OK. The first comment was on target about mixing in the blueberries instead of on top. I also added whole wheat flour for extra nutrition. In my opinion there are better recipes blueberry muffin recipes out there. Readers will get a nicer result if they do put the blueberries in the batter.
allisonjessee Posted: 04/27/09
I thought these were good! The lime was a nice addition to usual blueberry muffins. I used a little more than half whole wheat flour, and they turned out fine. I also mixed the blueberries in the second time I made these (rather than sprinkling them on top) and thought they turned out a little better that way. We enjoyed them!
Courto23 Posted: 08/15/09
I used half WW, half white flour - the rest as called for. I thought they were tasty - I made half as mini muffins and I liked those better. I used more bluberries than called for and mine did not sink at all (and I wish they had!) Next time I will definitely mix the blues in.
Your1chef Posted: 06/10/09
I made this recipe exactly as printed and thought it lacked flavor. My blueberries did not sink to the bottom of the muffins either. If I make these again I would add more lime zest, brown sugar and half ww flour. There are better recipes out there.
yumyumgirl Posted: 07/10/09
I made these replacing the lime with lemon as I ran out of limes. Also did not have sour cream so replaced that with ricotta I had in the fridge. What came out was a wonderful muffin with some richness to it. I sprinkled the blues atop each muffin and they were fine, none sank to the bottom. I have numerous blueberry muffin recipes but will definitely make these again and again!
COmama Posted: 08/21/09
Nice subtle flavor- had a playdate at our home and everyone who tried them liked them including the kids. Will be making them again and again.
rmckinley Posted: 06/30/12
I loved this recipe, but I recommend mixing the blueberries in with the batter as opposed to putting them on top. They taste just fine with the berries on top and the rest of the muffin relatively separate, but I personally prefer to have the blueberries be more a part of the muffin instead of being kind of a garnish. I also only used about half a cup of sugar and they were plenty sweet. This is a delicious recipe and I will definitely use it again.
IoneTaylor Posted: 06/17/12
These were moist and good. I liked the lime flavor. I didn't like the way the blueberries stayed on top of the batter and burst while baking, leaving a lot of blueberries and juice on the muffin pan instead of in the muffins. Next time I'd mix the blueberries into the batter. I also sprinkled a little turbinado sugar on top before baking.

~!Chapter 12!~3 Reviews
Amber and Brendon are going strong. Even though Amber has done some stupid things. Those things have built there relationship to the better. REVIEW
"Oh, hun. Come sit down. Come talk to us, please" my mom said. I walked over to the couch and sat down next to my mom.
"We're gonna go." Brendon said.
"No, please stay. I want you to hear this, and afterwards I would like to talk to you both." I told them. They nodded and Brendon sat on the floor near me and Ryan sat in a chair next to the couch.
"Ok, hun. Please tell us, what happened." My mom said.
"Ok, well, I don't know if you know that Connor showed up in my room yesterday." They all nodded, so I took it as if Brendon told them. I wonder if Lindsay knows. We need to have a girls night soon. "Well, I am also taking that Brendon told you what happened once he got here." They all nodded again. "Ok, well I kind of blew up at them. I have been under a lot of stress, with Connor, and when the guys treat me like a fallen princess, I sometimes don't like it. I mean I love sometime when Brendon does it, but when they all do. I don't know. So I guess I just had a break down and took it out on them. So, I went up stairs and into the bathroom. I really didn't know what I was doing until Brendon came into the bathroom. I am really sorry I scared you all. I guess my mind was thinking something other then I was thinking. If that makes since." I finally finished. I looked at everyone, and could not tell what they were thinking.
"Well, I understand hun, I am glad that Brendon was there to help. And I think that maybe it would be good, if you were with someone at all time. I understand you might not like that but I think it is in the best interest for you hun. Do you understand?" my mom told me, I understood, but I did not like it. But, if it gives me an excuse to spend more time with everyone, then ok.
"I understand mom. But, can I talk to Brendon and Ryan now. In my room."
"That is fine hun, me and your dad are here for you." I hugged her and got up. Brendon had already got up and so did Ryan. I headed for the stairs, and the guys followed me into my room. I sat down on my bed and Brendon sat next to me, and Ryan sat at my desk.
"Ok, I have a question. What happened to Connor?" I asked them.
"Well, we toke him home, and told him that if he ever came around you again he would go to jail. We think that the best thing for you to do is to file a restraining order against him right a way." Ryan said.
"Ok, well how about Lindsay and I go file one tomorrow. I was going to call her and see if she wanted to have a girl's night anyways. How does that sound?" I asked them.
"That sounds fine hun." Brendon said.
"Oh, one more thing. I really would like a night with the whole gang, so what do you think?" I asked, giving them my puppy eyes look.
"Hey, no fair. You know my weakness! Our weakness." Ryan said.
"But, I think that would be a great idea. But before we execute that great idea. I have an idea, Ryan you know what to do."
Brendon said with a smirk. Ryan jump onto the bed and pinned my arms down and Brendon started to tickle me.
"Hey...hahaha.....stop...hahaha...no...fare...two on one...haha" I said well laughing. Ryan got off of me and Brendon pulled me into a hug. "That was soo mean..so where are we going to hang tonight?"
"Well, we can hang at my house. I mean my parents are not home and I know it will be ok. So Spencer and Jon, Ryan and Lindsay, and you and me." Brendon said.
"Sounds great, I will call Spencer, Brendon call Jon, and Ryan of course call Lindsay and tell them to meet at Brendon and bring some food or drinks, games or what ever. Ok?" I asked. They both nodded. I got out my cell phone and called up my Spen-bear. He said he was up to it, if he could bring his girlfriend. Since when did my Spen-bear grow up and get a girlfriend.
"Spencer is coming and bringing his GIRLFRIEND!" I said.
"Oh and Jon is coming and also bringing his girlfriend."
"Oh my, my lil' jon and Spen-bear, are growing up." I said laughing.
"And Lindsay is coming. So I am think we should get you some clothes and then go grab some food, and stuff, stop by my house and grab what I need and then head over to Brendon's" Ryan said. I grabbed some pj's, and some clothes for the next day. We went down stairs and I told my parents where I would be and then we got into Ryan's car. We stop at the store and grabbed some chips, Red Bull, ice cream, and some candy. We could not have a friend's night with out candy. Or it could have been that it was that time of the month and I was craving it. After we checked out, we stopped at Ryan's house so he could get some clothes and games. After about half an hour after we left my house we got to Brendon's house. No one was there so we went inside and put the food away and put on a movie. I hated Brendon for putting on a scary movie, it was getting dark and he knew that I was jumpy when it came to scary movies.
After about a half an hour into the movie people started to show up, first it was Lindsay and she just came in and put her food in the kitchen and sat next to Ryan. I got up to go to the bathroom, after telling Brendon I would be out in a couple minutes and I was not going to hurt myself. But, that is what I get for hurting myself in the bathroom. When I was in the bathroom, Spencer and Jon showed up with their girlfriends. I walked out of the bathroom and the hall was like pitch black. One thing I did not like about Brendon's house was that the bathroom was not near any windows. But, as I was going back to the living room, I head someone say 'Well, what do we have here' I did not know who it was because I could not place the voice. But, then they grabbed my arm and on instinct I screamed and tried to run away. I heard laughing and I knew who it was right away.
"Spencer, I hate you! You always do that to me." I slapped his arm and I heard everyone laughing in the living room. I marched out there and gave them a death look, and walked into the kitchen.
"Oh, come on hun. It was just a joke. Spencer was just playing." Brendon came into the kitchen after me and hugged my from behind, placing his hands on mine, which they were on the tummy. He kissed my neck and spun me around to where I was looking into his big brown eyes. He kissed me softly at first and then it turned into full on making out. We stopped when we heard someone clearing their throat. It was Jon, probably wanting to get something to drink. So we moved and he grabbed a couple of sodas and a bag of chips and when back in with everyone else. I grabbed a soda for me and Brendon and a big of my favorite chips (Chili-cheese Fritos) and we headed back and finished watching the movie.
I found out that Spencer's girlfriend was a girl from the track team, and she was a drama geek. I mean we are friends, he name is Payton. She was a great actor and singer. Also he is a great long distance runner. I also found out that Spencer and Payton have liked each other for awhile and Spencer got up the never to ask her out when she was over the see his sister. And Jon's girlfriend was one of my other friends from softball. She was the pitcher, I am still wondering how they met. Her name was Becky. But, I guess they hit it off, pretty well. Here we are all four couples, watching movies, kissing, eating junk food, and most importantly goofing off. We watched about 3 movie and eat almost everything we bought except the ice cream, because that was for me and Brendon. We put in the 4th movie and about half way through it I fell asleep in Brendon lap. I woke up later to the DVD of the movie playing over and over. I got up trying not to wake Brendon and saw that Ryan and Lindsay were fast asleep on the couch, Jon and Becky curled up together under a blanket on the floor with one big pillow under their heads. And then I saw Spencer and Payton cuddling under a blanket too. I turned off the DVD player, grabbed a blanket and went back and laid back down with Brendon on the big love seat. I curled up into him and pulled the blanket over us. And there was the night of the crazy couples.

Eight idea papers were submitted in Spring of 2014, seven of which were approved by the committee.
Current job listings for HEIF include:
*Outreach Manager
*Energy Analysis Student Assistant
If you have questions please email email@example.com
All meetings are open to the campus community. Meeting times for Fall 2014 are TBA. Meetings are often held in NHE 113, 106, 115, & 120.
Don't have time for a part-time job but still want to get involved? Every fall semester, up to 3 student voting positions open up on the HEIF Committee, and are appointed by Associated Students. The Committee is made up of student, staff, and faculty voting & non-voting members, with a student majority. Ultimately, it is the Committee that decides where HEIF money is allocated.
Fill out an online application through AS!
The Humboldt Energy Independence Fund is an energy conservation fund created by an HSU student initiative in 2004. Every student pays $10/semester and the money is allocated to student-proposed conservation projects like solar panels, water bottle hydration stations, compost bins, lighting retrofits, etc.
The process is as follows: In the Fall, we host brainstorming events to foster new project ideas that we can fund and implement. We then accept short idea submissions from students, and the HEIF Committee then votes on which ideas will be developed into full grant proposals. To write these, we hire student development teams over the Spring semester and assign them a mentor. Finally, the HEIF Committee awards funding to the feasible projects, which are then implemented by Plant Operations staff and/or HSU students, depending on the proposal.
HEIF's mission is to reduce the environmental impact of energy use at Humboldt State University through student-driven projects.
The Humboldt Energy Independence Fund is hiring a student to help publicize the organization, our projects, and our events. HEIF would like to see more (and more diverse) student involvement, and we believe a good publicist can generate increased awareness and interest in our activities. At the institutional level, HEIF and HSU would also like to better share our green initiatives with other universities and organizations.
The ideal candidate would market HEIF on campus through a variety of channels: flyers, websites, social media, classroom presentations, tabling, events, chalking, blogs, news articles, etc. He or she might also work with HSU Marketing & Communications to produce outreach materials for a broader public audience. The position is open to all enrolled HSU students, but prior experience with marketing, outreach, public relations, or similar is desired. Relevant coursework in marketing, communications, graphics, and related
fields is helpful.
Publicize major HEIF events/dates/projects (several times per year)
Making and posting flyers, posters, brochures, etc.
Making in-class announcements to students in different majors
Tabling on the quad
Writing and distributing press releases to local newspapers and radio stations
Chalking on campus
Highlight current/significant HEIF projects in our outreach efforts
Maintain HEIF's online presence with current events, news, job announcements, and project updates (ongoing, 1-2x per week)
The HEIF website needs to stay current, informative, and accurate
HEIF's Facebook page can be used for additional marketing around specific events
Other websites can be utilized as per your judgment
Produce and distribute marketing materials such as brochures, flyers, posters, etc. (as necessary)
Serve as HEIF's representative to other student sustainability groups on campus and within the CSU system (as necessary)

Look for new permanent compost bins on campus. Save your banana peels and apple cores to contribute to our campus compost. Composting not only diverts from the landfill, but creates a nutrient rich soil additive that is used on campus landscaping and is available to the community. See the sign on the bins for a list of accepted materials.

This proposal proves every little bit matters. By changing campus restroom aerators from a flow rate of 2.2 gallons per minute to 0.5 gallons per minute the campus will save 1,200 therms of natural gas annually. Using less water means heating less water.
