The Day Christ Died (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
"This is a book about the most dramatic day in the history of the world, the day on which Jesus of Nazareth died. It opens at 6 P.M.—the beginning of the Hebrew day—with Jesus and ten of the apostles coming through the pass between the Mount of Olives and the Mount of Offense en route to Jerusalem and the Last Supper. It closes at 4 P.M. the following afternoon, when Jesus was taken down from the cross. . . . The fundamental research was done a long time ago by four fine journalists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The rest has been added in bits and pieces from many men whose names span the centuries."—from the Foreword.

"Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible." -Viginia Woolf
When I was little my parents told me if I learned to read well, I could learn anything from a book. As I have grown older I have seen how true that is!
My first big chapter book I read was the Harry Potter series. My mom and dad started reading it to me but I got annoyed at them because they were going so slow. I snatched the book from their hands and started reading it immediately. I was off on my reading journey!
I enjoy reading non-fiction books. They have taught me all sorts of things from the names of minerals to things about World War 2. For example, I read a Neil Armstrong biography, I would not know as much about the space program, being an astronaut and space if I hadn't chosen to read that book.
I have also realized that fiction books can be a good place to learn. If I had not read the Percy Jackson series, I would not know it's nearly as much as I do about the Greek and Roman gods. Reading this series sparked an interest and I began reading many other books about these subjects and now have a really good understanding of the ancient gods.
When I went to Petra, I had a good idea of what to expect and some of the history. I read about it for months before I went so I knew more about it when I did go. All of a sudden, the words that we just printed on a page in the book actually came to life right before my eyes.
I will continue to read into the future because now I know that if you read you can learn anything you want to.
Every day, you capture something beautiful. It may be a picture of the sun sitting on the horizon. It could be a sketch of a girl sitting in a corner. It could be a sculpture of a butterfly. Whatever you create, we want it.

I took a walk in the park
today. Begun with heavy
footsteps, each thud tinged with
hurt and frustration. Solace
found in the quiet. Footfalls
softened. It spoke to me through
whispers and swishes rushing
'round. It lifted my chin and
placed a soft smile on my
face. Gently pulled me off the
ground and into the sky. I
became a kite soaring high
above my griefs with the world.
Swirled and twisted, the leash
of the dog I was walking
the only thing keeping me grounded.

This crazy maniac is Mindwipe. Before he got his cybernetic parts he was a normal man. One day when he was driving in his car a large piece of metal fell from another superhero battle and most of his body was damaged. Later, other organizations of villains use new technology to bring him back to life. But he came out crazed. Now he runs about in the street wondering what he will do next.
Be warned: this film is rated R.
Watching Eye in the Sky will infuriate you to no end, no matter what political stance you hold going in. That comes largely from the fact it's chiefly a political film, and, as shown by our good friend Mr. Trump, politics tend to upset people. It's a complex, fascinating movie that's hard to pin down. There are laugh out loud moments followed by ones of quiet suspense. Scenes that elicit empathy are followed by ones of righteous anger. Political Satire probably best describes the movie, but then again it doesn't truly do the film's themes or content justice. Eye in the Sky is a war movie with little action. It's a horror movie with little bloodshed. It's a comedy with little joy. At its core, Eye in the Sky is just a lot of people talking, all trying not to have to make a hard decision; it's also incredibly compelling.
Eye in the Sky follows an inter-governmental terrorist capture operation in Kenya, and the many ways in which it goes awry. The outfit is led by the British Colonel Katherine Powell (Helen Mirren) and about 8 other officers working with her in the war room. She though, of course, is not solely in charge of the operation. Powell answers directly to British Lieutenant General Frank Benson (played by the late great Alan Rickman). Benson throughout the film is surrounded by British officials and politicians, all of which have their own agendas and moral stances. Powel directly commands 2 main things: American Air Force pilot Steve Watts (Aaron Paul), who controls a drone from a shed in Las Vegas and Sergeant Mushtaq Saddiq (Babou Ceesay), commander of the actual capture unit in Kenya. There is also an American facial recognition specialist operating out of Hawaii, two key soldiers in Kenya, and a little girl selling bread in Kenya (but more on that in a moment).
The situation complicates further when the terrorists move to a new location for their meeting, and further when they start equipping themselves with suicide vests, and even further when a little girl sells bread right next to the building, complicating the drone strike option. Through it all the characters argue about what the right thing to do is, and no one wanting to take responsibility for a drone strike.
The film is paced excellently and with precision. Every scene is masterfully executed, in no hurry to shock the audience or reveal what will happen. The film rather lets us, the audience, suffer through the indecision and ambiguity, squirming in our seats with anticipation. The suspense caliber is almost something out of a Hitchcock movie: in the execution, the patience, the payoff. It's nice to see this sort of filmmaking nowadays, the type that requires an engaged and intelligent audience.
Helen Mirren is a commanding central lead, delivering each line with enough conviction, passion, and ethos to thoroughly ground the film. Without Mirren, the film could have perhaps strayed into the realm of unbelievable parody. She is a large reason the movie works and fits together so well. Aaron Paul delivers a lot of pathos, performing in one of the most human and emotional roles of his career. Alan Rickman reminds us just why we'll miss him, playing a cold, logical, and dryly funny character, similar to others he has played. The rest of the cast was great too, even the little girl, but these three actors really stood out.
Eye in the Sky was a great movie, but it did have a few flaws. An obvious one is that some of the smaller characters acted a bit like caricatures, specifically the American characters. I'm not sure if this is a flaw of screenwriting or an intentional point the filmmakers were trying to make. Either way it is a noticeable blemish in the movie. Also, some of the point of view shots from the drones and other equipment were unbelievable to put it lightly. A robotic beetle flying shouldn't have such stable footage streaming from it when going through wind. Of course, the filmmakers had to take a few liberties to deliver the movie they wanted to, and I don't necessarily fault them for it, but this detail nagged at me throughout the whole film.
In the end, it's their indecision that will frustrate you. You will probably side with one party at the beginning, as I did, and become increasingly angry at the characters with contradictory views, the ones that prevent progress. What Eye in the Sky does so well though, is not vilify or commend any characters. The situation is complicated and messed up; there seems not to be a single right answer about how to respond. In the end, every character tries to do the best thing that they can, but it's not enough. This intercharacter struggle suggests many deep thematic topics. It suggests that war is terrible, evil, there is nothing right or good about it, but also it's a necessary evil that cannot, unfortunately, be avoided. It's a compelling piece of cinema, one that kept me on the edge of my seat, and overall I would rate it 9/10.

In the scene before me, snow swirls around a lone cabin.
It rests, blissfully silent here: the middle of nowhere.
I set down my snow globe and focus on the homework before me.
*Sijo: a Korean poem with three lines, a total of 44-46 syllables, each line having 14-16. The sijo may be narrative or thematic, introducing a situation or problem in line 1, development or "turn" in line 2, and resolution in line 3.
The first half of the final line employs a "twist": a surprise of meaning, sound, tone or other device. The sijo is often more lyrical, subjective and personal than haiku, and the final line can take a profound, witty, humorous or proverbial turn. Like haiku, sijo has a strong basis in nature, but, unlike that genre, it frequently employs metaphors, symbols, puns, allusions and similar word play.

I still am a little unsure how I feel about Dream House, written by YouTube star, CutiePieMarzia. And to be honest, I had not heard of her before...but back to the subject at hand, Dream House was an interesting read that left me with a lot of questions. This story is about a girl named Amethyst, who finds herself in a very weird situation in a big creepy house with some sketchy, creepy people. The more time she spends in the house, the more I was asking myself, "what in the world is Amethyst doing"?!
She comes across this big, beautiful house and a nice litte old couple who lives there. They invite her inside and welcome her to stay the night. One night turns into many as strange things happen to her each day.
At times I found the story to be a little over the top and silly, (seriously, why didn't she leave?) but I pushed through it and on the other side I found it to be a pretty scary read, though a little unbelievable at times.
I would not read it again, but I didn't find it to be a waste of time. I give it a 2/5
Once there was a man who lived alone in a hut overlooking an ocean. The sky was often gray with storm clouds, and the constant rain brought a chill to the air. Though the wind howled despondently, the man was quite content. He woke early every morning, pulling on a raincoat and chest waiters before leaving the hut. He would walk down to the shoreline with an old fishing net and a thermos of coffee. After spending hours tossing in the waves in his boat he would return home. Although he was alone and there was little coziness to his hut, he would never dream of leaving. For his grandmother told him years earlier when he was a little boy that you can only be truly happy when you look inside yourself and can smile at what you see there. He had traveled the world and lived in many a place, but it was only in the lonely hut on the gray blue ocean that he could smile.

I liked that when the parents came in to sign their children up they ended up singing up too when they found out they could. It got the whole family involved and reading. Also, it was really great to see people excited about getting their free book when they signed up because they already knew what they would start the program. The hours are very flexible and it's nice to be at the table both helping and relaxing with other work when no one is there.
Annamarie, Teen Contributor
Last summer was one of the best summers ever. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I really enjoyed it.
Tennessee, Teen Contributor
Being a volunteer last year was an amazing experience! I had the chance to stray away from my comfort zone and talked and helped lots of people I loved seeing the kids they were so exited to get their book and start reading. I think that it is key to start and learn to love reading at a young age, so you get an amazing feeling when you know you are helping a kid take their first steps towards loving to read. The library is like a second home to me. I met so many other teens, and made many friends, it was great to talk, laugh, and work with kids my age for four hours straight. I felt like I truly belonged there. I also really enjoyed the hands on activities I helped with. This is a great program! It's something that everyone should try, especially if you have nothing to do during the summer. You don't know until you try!
Emily, Teen Contributor
I had a great time volunteering last year. It was awesome to be at the library helping kids and parents sign up and log their reading, and it was also super neat to get to see the wide range of people who use the library, and realize the extent of the library's impact on the community. I had a blast, and a nice bonus was getting volunteer hours. It was an incredible experience, and I encourage others to volunteer as well.
Destinee, Teen Contributor
Summer reading was really fun! I got to see the best of the community and got to help the nicest people. Watching little kids faces light up when they got their prizes was the best part! I also got to help some amazing people, including a deaf woman! Over all summer reading was a great experience. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to doing it again this summer.

ABILENE - The Randall Raiders have been busy this spring.
Start with the Raiders fifth consecutive district baseball title, a 14-0 romp though District 4-4A opponents. Add in a school record 27 wins. Don't forget a current 18-game winning streak.
Just two days ago the Raiders moved to No. 4 in the Class 4A state high school baseball poll.
However, when the Raider players attempt to etch their names in the Randall High history book over the next three days, their life looks as busy as a mom with six baseball-playing children.
Randall's impressive 27-4 record has advanced it into the 4A regional semifinal playoff round for the second consecutive year.
The Raiders open their best-of-three series against a formidable foe in No. 3 ranked Fort Worth Western Hills (27-3) at 8 tonight at McMurry College in Abilene. Randall skips a day, before playing Game 2 at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at Christensen Field in Midland.
What about Friday night?
Oh, just a little matter of seven Randall senior players - Brandon Baldwin, Kyle Edwards, Branden Knapp, Will Leschper, Colby Sterling, James Swaim and Kyle Thompson - putting on a cap and gown and marching through Randall High graduation ceremonies in the Amarillo Civic Center.
Get the idea of the Raiders' road map?
Randall will hit the road today for the 41/2-hour trip to Abilene, then return home to Amarillo in the wee hours of Friday morning. Friday night, an hour or so following the 2001 graduation, Randall will board a bus and spend the night in Lubbock. Saturday morning it's off to Midland for Game 2 and the chance to become the first Randall baseball team in history to reach the regional finals.
Randall High fifth-year coach Steve Ribera said despite all the hoopla going on the next 48 hours the least of his worries is the focus of his team.
"Our schedule is all-screwy this week," Ribera said. "But this team is pretty focused. They want to get to Austin. I really don't think the focus thing is a big deal. I was more worried what the parents, aunts and uncles and everybody coming in for graduation would think. But they said, 'Shoot, coach, we will just follow the bus.'"
Shoot, Randall is playing some serious baseball.
The Raiders received a bi-district bye, then crushed El Paso Ysleta 10-0 in a one-game area playoff. Last weekend, the Raiders disposed of defending Region I champ El Paso Riverside 8-1 and 6-2 in the regional quarterfinals.
Add up Randall's playoff damage and it has outscored opponents 24-3. Go back a little deeper in Randall history and over its past six games no team has scored more than two runs.
Part of that dominance has been due to the pitching of junior right-hander Chance Douglass. Douglass is 10-2 with a sparkling 1.42 earned run average. In 74 innings pitched, Douglass has fanned 87 batters, allowed 52 hits and walked 19.
Douglass has been especially stingy in the playoffs going 2-0 and allowing one run in 13 innings.
"I'm going to stay with Chance opening up the series for us," said Ribera of game one starter the past two playoff rounds. "I like the way he has been throwing. We are going to get into a twilight situation on Thursday and a guy that throws hard is tough to hit in that situation."
Douglass is a part of Randall's deep pitching staff that includes righty Kyle Thompson (8-0, 3.38 ERA) and lefty Branden Knapp (7-1, 1.99 ERA).
But as opponents have learned throughout the year, the Raiders are far from punchless at the plate. Randall averages .328 as a team and its 33 home runs is tied for the most in school history.
Randall's hitting order features four hitters above the .394 mark. Leading the way is leadoff hitter and Garden City Community College-bound Brandon Baldwin. Baldwin is hitting at .450 clip, has an eye-opening .622 on-base average, and displays power with eight homes and 33 runs batted in.
Clean-up hitter Knapp owns a .432 average, followed by shortstop Edwards (.412) and junior catcher Josh Payne (.394).
EP Riverside learned a lesson last weekend that the Raiders can deal out damage throughout their batting order. Randall scored seven runs in the fifth inning of game one against Riverside sparked by a clutch two-run double from nine-hole hitter Ryan Jackson.
"In a round like this, you need everybody to contribute," Ribera said. "You can't go one through seven and win the ball game. You have to go eight and nine. Last week my DH (Leschper) did a super job in the eight hole, and then Jackson in the nine hole had a that huge double."
In Western Hills, Randall meets a team riding high off a school record 27 wins and the longest playoff run in school history. First-year coach Steve Jimenez relies on a deep pitching staff in Ryne Tucker (8-0), Chase Bassham, Jason Hopson (6-1), along with reliever Jordan Hutyra.
Western Hills, the District 7-4A tri-champion, advanced to the third round in less than dominating fashion. Western Hills beat Grapevine 6-5 in area, then had to sweep the final two games of last week's best-of-three series with Burleson.
Hutyra leads the Western Hills offense with a .506 average and four homers, followed by Bassham (.457, 5HRs) and leadoff hitter Jordan Newman (.440).
"Our kids feel good where we are at," Ribera said. "Each year our team sets a goal to go farther than the team the previous year. This is the round we lost in last year. So that's some extra motivation."
NOTE: Randall worked out Tuesday night under the lights at Conner Park in Canyon. Tonight will mark only the second time Randall has played a night game this year.

Here are ten FREE tips that you can use right away to start marketing your business or organization more effectively:
1. Trust what attracts your attention in print, mail, radio, web, etc. You know what you like or dislike about what you see and hear. Start a file of advertising that you really like.

7. Make sure your message hooks your target audience immediately. Maybe this should have been tip #1. Think about what your customer wants and play to that desire.
8. Make sure your message is true. There is still a truth in advertising act that protects consumers from false advertising. Be very honest about what you are offering and what services you provide.

After appearing on American TV show, 'Dancing with the Stars' Billy Dee Williams has dropped out due to injury… but does this mean he's out of 'Star Wars VII' too?
He may be the coolest guy in the galaxy far, far away, but it looks as though 'Star Wars' legend Billy Dee Williams won't be moonwalking his way to victory. After a brief stint on 'Dancing with the Stars', the 76-year-old actor has been forced to pull out due to 'chronic back pain'. But does this mean his 'Star Wars VII' hopes are also dashed?
[Star Wars VII: Five actors up for lead Jedi role]
According to Entertainment Weekly, Billy Dee Williams (known for playing Landon Calrissian in the original 'Star Wars' trilogy) has been forced to pull out of the competition due to injury.
"Billy Dee Williams and Emma Slater will not continue to fight for, or casually shuffle towards, season 18′s coveted mirrorball trophy on ABC's 'Dancing with the Stars'," they explained. "Williams, 76, cited chronic back pain and his doctor's warning not to dance as reasons for sitting out tonight. The 'Star Wars' actor, who's had two hip replacements, thanked Slater for 'this wonderful, brilliant, fantastic blast of a time' and promised to keep dancing - 'It's an epic part of me now,' he said of his ballroom experience."
Of course, many wondered whether his appearance on the show would preclude him from starring in the upcoming 'Star Wars VII'. But it looks as though Billy Dee Williams' early exit could be a blessing in disguise.
[Carrie Fisher filming Star Wars VII for 6 months?]
Despite this 'chronic back pain' his exit from 'Dancing with the Stars' may well have opened up his schedule for the foreseeable future. And for the conspiracy theorists amongst us, could even have been planned all along.
Whatever the case, we hope his injuries clear up in time for the upcoming 'Star Wars: Episode VII'. And let's hope Abrams and co. have already given him a part in the next 'Star Wars' movie.
Do you think Billy Dee Williams could appear in 'Star Wars VII'? Will his injury make an appearance in the sequel trilogy difficult? Let us know what you think in the comments below…

A sexual position, often used by prostitutes of either gender that don't want to be penetrated, but most commonly by pre-op transsexuals, that involves the john rubbing his cock between either the thighs or less frequently, the butt cheeks of the working girl or guy, until orgasm.
Similar to tit fucking. Mostly used in Australia.

About this Business
From Our Editors
Newly opened in the South Loop, Square One flourishes in its urbane environment, a simple bar-and-booth format fancied up with richly upholstered seats, soft golden chandeliers, and old-fashioned spinning bar stools. Slim bites of brie, blue, and cubeddu cheeses are sliced to order right on the bar, and the spread of cocktails named after James Bond characters employs uncommon ingredients such as crème de violette, grapefruit cordials, and a house-made basil vodka. The beer menu is similarly eclectic, favoring craft brews and ciders. Perhaps the most notable feature on tap is the mechanical wine dispenser, which loads up oenophiles' glasses or top hats by the ounce. After its opening in August 2012, Grub Street lavished praise on Square One for living up to "the idea of a simple, first-class neighborhood place, with an eclectically chic look… a beer, wine, and cocktail program that stays away from big brands and prizes small, interesting producers, and a food menu that's true bar food."

Edelweiss, IDBI Among Banks Said to Manage Manganese Ore IPO
Edelweiss Capital Ltd., IDBI Capital Market Services Ltd. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. are likely to manage Manganese Ore (India) Ltd.'s initial public offering, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.
The sale may raise about 15 billion rupees ($322 million), the people said, declining to be named before an official announcement. The lowest fees bid for managing the sale was 0.000001 percent, they said. Banks shortlisted for state share sales need to match the lowest fee bid to win the mandate.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., UBS AG and Deutsche Bank AG were among 10 banks competing to manage the IPO, according to the disinvestment department. Kotak Mahindra Capital Co., Enam Securities Pvt., Avendus Capital Pvt. and SBI Capital Markets Ltd. had also bid.
The central government will divest a 10 percent stake in Manganese Ore and the state governments of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra will sell 5 percent each, Disinvestment Secretary Sumit Bose told reporters in Mumbai on July 26.
Spokespeople at the shortlisted banks didn't immediately respond to e-mails seeking comment. K.J. Singh, the chairman of the company, didn't immediately respond to an e-mail.
Manganese Ore, set up in 1896, is the nation's largest producer of the ore, meeting 65 percent of domestic demand.

So, there's a site currently set up with around 56,000 posts submitted by the public. It's not run on wordpress and is in desperate need of a redesign!
I've been asked to do the redesign and import all 56,000 posts. The posts are in a mysql database that I can easily grab. Any ideas as to how I could make it wordpress friendly? It would be great to think that I could convert to a csv and BAM, it's done! I know that this isn't possible, I'm just looking for a way to make it a real easy import.
Any ideas would be kindly accepted.

South West Rail Link
Project profile
The South West Rail Link is a NSW Government initiative to respond to issues of reliability and passenger growth on the metropolitan rail network and population growth in south-west Sydney.
The South West Rail Link includes a major upgrade of Glenfield Station and bus/rail interchange and a new twin track passenger rail line from Glenfield to Leppington via Edmondson Park. Construction of the South West Rail Link was completed in 2014.
Scope of works
The South West Rail Link includes:
- a new 11.4-kilometre rail line from Glenfield to Leppington
- two new stations located at Edmondson Park and Leppington, including commuter car parking
- a train stabling facility at Rossmore
- an upgrade of the existing Glenfield Station and bus/rail interchange, including new commuter car parking
construction of Glenfield North and Glenfield South rail flyovers
The South West Rail Link will:
- provide essential infrastructure for the predicted future increases in population in Sydney's south-west, including the South West Growth Centre
- improve access to public transport for the people of south-west Sydney, providing a link to major employment centres including Liverpool, Parramatta and the Sydney CBD
- allow increased and more reliable train services
- provide increased commuter car parking spaces
- provide modern, safe and accessible stations and interchange facilities for rail commuters.
The South West Rail Link (SWRL) was opened to the public on 8 February 2015.
The new Glenfield Transport Interchange and Glenfield Station were opened to the community on Sunday 23 September 2012. Major construction of the Glenfield to Leppington rail line component of the South West Rail Link commenced at the beginning of 2012 and works are 12 months ahead of schedule, with revenue services now commencing in 2015.
The Glenfield Junction northern flyover was built as part of the South West Rail Link project. The flyover was commissioned in early June 2014 and is helping to deliver a more efficient rail network for customers. The flyover separates T2 South Line services from T2 Airport Line services, reducing flow-on effects to other trains across the Sydney rail network if a service is delayed. Previously trains from the two lines had to take turns at Glenfield, slowing them down and creating a bottleneck whenever a train was delayed. The flyover now allows two trains to cross at the same time, one over the top of the other, meaning the network will flow much more effectively and predictably. Read more in the media release.
The clips below show the works undertaken in early June 2014.

The final instruction of Jesus to his disciples, to make disciples of all nations
The Great Commission, most famously found in Matthew 28, is the final instruction of Jesus to his disciples:
18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (ESV)

Sinusitis - When To Call a Doctor
Call your doctor if sinusitis does not improve after 2 days of home treatment and you have symptoms such as:
- Pain in the face or upper teeth.
- Pain extending from the bridge of the nose to the lower eyelid.
- Headache that is not relieved by an over-the-counter pain medicine, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
- Fever of 101°F (38.3°C)or higher.
- Nasal discharge that starts out clear and later becomes thick and discolored (yellow or green).
- Cold symptoms that last longer than 10 days or get worse after the first 7 days.
- Mild or chronic pain in the face that lasts longer than a month, has changed, or has not been checked by a doctor.
- Not feeling any better within 3 to 5 days after starting antibiotics for your sinus infection.
If you are not sure whether you have a cold or a sinus infection, see the topic Facial Problems, Noninjury.

Stress Relief Strategies to Ease Allergy Symptoms
If you suffer with allergy symptoms, you know all about the stress of having a chronic condition. Not only is it difficult to breathe with allergy symptoms, but poor sleep can lead to fatigue and problems concentrating. Allergy medicines can cause appetite changes, low energy, and even irritability. All you want is relief: from the stress, the symptoms, all of it.
Read the Stress Relief Strategies to Ease Allergy Symptoms article > >
Watchful waiting
Watchful waiting is appropriate if you have symptoms of an early sinus infection (such as pain and pressure in your head along with a stuffy or runny nose). An early sinus infection can often be treated at home if you are in good health. If you develop symptoms of a sinus infection, start home treatment, such as drinking lots of fluids and breathing steam from a warm shower, and use the guidelines above to decide whether you need to call a doctor.
Who to see
Sinusitis may be diagnosed by any of the following health professionals:
Your doctor may refer you to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist (also called an otolaryngologist) who can provide a more specialized examination of the nasal passages and upper throat. Referral to an ENT specialist may be beneficial for people in whom nasal polyps or other conditions causing blockage of the nasal cavity are suspected. Diagnosis and surgical treatment of chronic or complicated cases of sinusitis may be done by an ENT specialist.
An infectious disease specialistmay be needed when sinusitis is caused by something unusual or when rare complications (such as an infection of the facial bones) occur. An allergistmay be needed when allergies are suspected to be causing or contributing to sinus problems.
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.

May sales numbers are in, and the Honda Civic has not only overtaken the Toyota Camry as the best-selling car in the country, it has also surpassed the Ford F-Series as the best-selling vehicle of any kind in the nation.
This radical change in top-selling vehicles has a lot to do with consumer sentiment and high gas prices. Even so, the Civic — up 28.3% over May 2007 — still topped other economical models like the Toyota Corolla and Ford Focus. Of the 53,299 Civics sold in May, 4,676 were hybrids. Honda also does not sell to fleets, unlike Toyota, Ford and Chevy. Some fleet sales can total between 5% and 30% or more, depending on the model, and are included in monthly sales figures.
Yes, even the Toyota Corolla is sold to fleets. Hertz even offers a rental of the Corolla as a green "upgrade," charging more for it than larger cars because of its fuel savings. Toyota also includes Matrix sales in its Corolla total despite it being sold and marketed separately from the Corolla name. Both models were redesigned earlier this year.
When asked earlier today about the possibility of Honda achieving the No. 1 mark, Honda spokesman Chuck Schifsky played down the importance. "Our concentration is providing efficient cars that people want," he said. "Who we pass along the way … we're not hanging on that too much."
For the list of the top 10 best-selling vehicles in the U.S. in May, click below. Note that these are only results posted so far today, but there are few mass-volume models whose sales figures have not yet been released.

Stay Connected Anywhere
(CNN) -- Two days after Idaho became the latest state where a federal judge effectively legalized same-sex marriage, an appeals court has stepped in to prevent such unions -- at least for now.
In a one-line ruling signed by three judges, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Thursday that an earlier district court ruling that declared Idaho's same-sex marriage ban to be unconstitutional "is temporarily stayed pending this court's disposition of appellants' emergency motions for a stay pending appeal."
U.S. Magistrate Judge Candy Wagahoff Dale offered a sweeping opinion Tuesday saying that Idaho laws "deny its gay and lesbian citizens the fundamental right to marry and relegate their families to a stigmatized, second-class status without sufficient reason for doing so."
Still, while Dale's decision was clear, it didn't take effect right away. She stated it would become law at 9 a.m. Friday.
Thursday's decision from 9th Circuit appeals court prevents a repeat of what happened in Utah and Michigan, where federal judges similarly struck down those states' same-sex marriage bans effectively immediately. Higher courts later stayed those decisions on appeal, but not before some same-sex couples married.
In recent months, federal judges have found restrictions limiting marriage to one man and one man to be unconstitutional in several other states. But in those rulings didn't take effect immediately, having been stayed as appeals courts and possibly the U.S. Supreme Court weigh in.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 35577046:MV8yMjUxODg5XzM4MjU4MzU2X0U3M0YwM0NF] The movie is a good concept/plot but its focused on one family in their home during this "purge" which is fucking LAME [/quote]
Original Message
If you don't know, a movie is coming out called "the purge" which depicts a world where every year, a 12 hour "purge" takes place where all laws are ignored and emergency services are disabled.
Trailer for those who haven't seen it.
Obviously there will never be a day when what's depicted becomes reality. Instead, the Government will just fail to act in a breakdown of civil order brought on by any one of a myriad of disasters that could occur. Financial collapse, oil shortages, war, pandemic (genuine), solar flares, meteoroid, earthquakes etc. Any single event that causes the end of "life as we know it" where shelves fail to be stocked, access to electronic funds is offline, and people are starving and forced to fight for survival. The veneer of civilization is paper thin, and when the hordes of zombies go hungry it will be hell on Earth.
This is more predictive programming, warning those who are listening of what's to come. The way the scam works is that those who are collaborating in the open destruction of the United States, and installation of a one world government – is that these pawns are promised a seat in the new world. A post purge throne for themselves. What's funny is that people like Jay Z and Lady Gaga believe the elite of the planet actually have a use for them after they finish their job of selling out their people.
Jay Z's "Empire State of Mind" lyrics read
"Cities is a pity, half of yall won't make it."
This isn't a simple rhyme, he's repeating what he's been told. Cities will be literal death zones during ANY type of major crisis. It would be a miracle If 50% survived.
Of course the likes of Jay Z have been instrumental in turning the masses into zombies. Zombies being an analogy for the useless hordes of dependent slobs that society hosts. Always depicted as craving "brains" because the zombified masses don't have any. This is where all of the race wars come into play continually pitting every single race against each other. During a melt down, races will group and racial hatred will breed. As a result the masses will wipe each other out. What remains will be easily picked off after being starved out.
This site is a prime example of how races are pitted against each other. We're at a point where everyone is soooo fucking busy yelling at another race, that they fail to see that the people who have ruined their health, wealth and freedom aren't some ignorant monkeys, or barbaric cave dwelling muslims. No, neither group destroyed your economy. Nope, neither group is poisoning your food. Nope, neither group is selling your country out to Israel and the UN. Nope, neither group is looting trillions from the US economy YEARLY. Nope, neither group is arming to the teeth to fight every freedom loving American. Nope, neither group is busy indoctrinating your children and poisoning them with anti-psychotics and lethal "vaccinations."
So while everyone is busy slaughtering each-other, someone, somewhere will be adding another checkmark to the win column, for the old strategy of divide and conquer. The best part about divide and conquer, is that the force behind it hardly needs lift its finger, instead it just needs to deceive both parties, and stir ignorant hatred among them. For millenia the pawns of this tactic did not know better, but its 2013 here folks, we've got the most powerful tool ever invented – the internet. It's no mystery that we're under attack. The mystery is how we've come to blame everyone but those responsible? How have we fallen for the propaganda trap while at the same time pretending we HAVEN'T?
At the end of the day, we're all deciding our fate making the decision to be conquered, and if this forum were any measure – we're fucked.

Skip to comments.Trayvon Martin and Black Manhood On Trial (Relying on Rachel's testimony? Huh?)
Posted on 07/02/2013 11:34:23 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Yesterday, the jury in the George Zimmerman murder trial heard, at length, Zimmerman describe in his own words what happened the night he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. He didnt take the stand, but the prosecution played for the court three separate audio and video recordings of Zimmermans interviews with the police and read aloud his written statement from the night of February 26, 2012. His description of the events were generally consistent with the story he has repeatedly told. But to my mind, the case really comes down to what the jury will believe happened in one specific moment.
Zimmerman says that after the 911 dispatcher told him he did not need to follow Trayvon, he continued walking to find an address so that he could be more specific regarding his whereabouts. Then he got off the phone. Its during this time that Zimmerman claims that Trayvon came out of either the bushes, or the darkness, and said something to the effect of, Whats your problem, homie? to which Zimmerman responded, I dont have a problem. Says Zimmerman, Trayvon replied, Youve got a problem now and proceeded to punch Zimmerman in the face. Zimmermans version of the story is contradicted by the states key witness, 19-year-old Rachel Jeantel, who took the stand last week. Jeantel, who was one the phone with Trayvon that night for the duration of this event, says Trayvon was attempting to elude Zimmerman, whom he had described as a creepy ass cracker. Trayvon, according to Jeantel, believed he had lost Zimmerman, only to then notice that he hadnt, at which point he told Jeantel, The nigga is following me. Jeantel says she then heard Trayvon say, Why you following me for? to which Zimmerman replied What are you doing out here? She then heard what she described as a bump and wet grass before the call was lost.
Jeantels testimony is key because it directly refutes Zimmermans version of the event and calls into question who was the aggressor in the resulting tussle. Its clear that Zimmerman sustained some injuries, while not necessarily consistent with his assertion that Trayvon punched him twenty-five to thirty times and slammed his head on the concrete. Its likely that a fight took place. But who started it?
On her show Sunday morning, Melissa Harris-Perry asked a question that gets at the heart of why this case is of national importance. Talking with Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman, Harris-Perry said: It does seem like part of what hinges here is whether or not Trayvon Martin hit George Zimmerman and whether or not he did so first but why is it that if this person hit someone who was prepared to use lethal force against him why wouldnt he have a right to stand his ground? Is that not racialized? Do black boys get to defend themselves?
Because its clear that, whoever instigated the altercation, Zimmerman followed Trayvon that night. He was instructed not to, but he did anyway. That Zimmerman fumbled for an answer when the lead investigator asked whether he thought Trayvon was afraid of him is emblematic of the way society has trained us to think about black manhood. Of course he didnt think Trayvon could be scared. Young black men never are. They are the danger. Which is also why, for some, Zimmermans story, even with the cartoonish language he ascribes to Trayvon, doesnt sound far-fetched. A black man jumping from behind the bushes to sucker-punch someone they dont know and attempt to kill them only a short distance from their home. It makes perfect sense if you believe that black men are preternaturally violent.
The jury will have to decide who they believe in this instance, Jeantel or Zimmerman, and it is this that has me concerned. Brittney Cooper, writing for Salon, captured it succinctly: black womanhood, black manhood and urban adolescence are always on trial in the American imaginary.
Zimmermans innocence rests on the notion of Trayvons criminality. And in this country, its not that difficult to convince six people of the criminality of a 17-year-old black boy.
Want more from the Zimmerman trial? Read Mychal Denzel Smiths defense of Rachel Jeantel.
Jeantel was hardly credible and her testimony was part perjury, part summoning and yet another part contempt.
Po gurel ...
And why might that be, Mychal?
Give it some thought. Consider Trayvon's own behaviorial history. Review his internet postings. See if you can come up with an answer.
This writer's insinuations to the contrary, young black men are prone to criminality, particularly of the violent kind. And the remainder of the black population provides cover, enablement and support for their criminality. That's a sad, sad state of affairs.
The writer wants non-Blacks to disregard the social stereotype of young Black males ? Fine. Then tell young Black males to stop confirming the stereotype.
Wonder if he got paid to write this?
Well said.
Hey, Mychal, being a punk *ss druggie who couldn't behave in school might have something to do with it.
You forgot that extra pack of kielbasa between her chin and collarbone, though. *OINK*
Is that a white or a black straw man?
LOL. Hope I get to buy you that glass of wine someday soon!
Damn, and I just started microbrewing. I'm getting a germ of an idea in my bowl of cranial mush. Start a list and let's get serious about it.
(from the article): "..It does seem like part of what hinges here is whether or not Trayvon Martin hit George Zimmerman and whether or not he did so first but why is it that if this person hit someone who was prepared to use lethal force against him why wouldnt he have a right to stand his ground? Is that not racialized? Do black boys get to defend themselves? "
Did George Zimmerman have brusises on his knuckles ?
Did George Zimmerman have Trayvon Martins DNA under his fingernails ?
Other than a gunshot wound , did Trayvon Martin have any other fresh marks on his body ?
Did George Zimmerman take MMA lessons ?
Did Travon Martin take any MMA lessons ?
Does George Zimmerman have any burglary, or burlary tool, or stolen property arrests ?
Does Trayvon Martin have any burglary, or burglary tool , or stolen property arrests ?
Did George Zimmerman have any toxicology test to determine the use of alcohol or drug usage ?
Did Trayvon Martin have any toxicology test to determine the use of alcohol or drug usage ?
Did George Zimmerman have any legal right to be at that location ?
Did Trayvon Martin have any legal right to be at that location ?
This has nothing to do with 'Manhood'
This has nothing to do with blacks defending themselves because this is a racialy biased court case, manufactured by the media.
This has nothing to do with blacks defending themselves because this is a politically biased court case, manufactured by the media.
And yes , MMA standards can be used to defend oneself , but only one person used those brutal methods,
and only one person has to live with those eternal scars !!
The media jumped all over this case becasue they thought they had a white Jew killing a black youth growing into his manhood.
They pumped it up, and when shown to be wrong , they couldn't back down even three wekks after the fact , just like a pack of wolves ,just like Trayvon .
Was George hunting prey ?
Or , was Trayvon hunting prey ?
Who has bruises ? .. and who does not ?
Smiling here! Who knew we were neighbors? Sounds fabulous!
Po gurel ...
they need to discuss trayvon's body. there are no bruises, justw a gunshot wound. zimmerman's hands would have been messed up if he pounded on him. likewise trayvon's hands should show signs of hitting someone and probably blood dna or skin dna of zimmerman on them or under nails.
I laughed so hard my neighbor though2 I was crying. ..
The author of this piece seems to ignore an important fact-the state's star witness is a demonstrable liar.
That's funny stuff right there. I'm going to use that.
Shows you how twisted the mind of a liberal is.
"The nigga is following me."
Wait a minute.... I thought he was a "crazy A$$ Cracker"?
If you say a lie often enough, it becomes true?
"We don't need you to do that" is what he said and then several times, asked George questions only answered by following Trayvon.
Zimmerman lawyer: " Now, Rachel, in your own words, tell the court: When you referred to my client as a 'white a** cracker' ....did you mean that as a compliment?"
A black man sucker punching someone, come on how often does that happen?
Some people are able to draw conclusions simply not supported by testimony or evidence. They hear only what they want to hear.
The grass appears to be a St. Augustine variety, it is like a sponge.
"Dam dose crazy racist a** crackers----how long do it take to
gets a double cheeseburger, two large fries and a diet Big Gulp."
And don't be abusive or use cursive {she thinks cursive is calling someone a moff*#####}.
It's 3:30 AM in CA and I am in fact typing this in my sleep, it's so easy:
- "dispatcher told Zimmerman not to follow Martin", blah blah, always the same lie
- "if this person hit someone who was prepared to use lethal force against him why wouldnt he have a right to stand his ground?" First, "prepared to use lethal force" is another way of describing anybody anywhere who is carrying a gun for any reason. The answer to that self-righteous statement posing as a question is, because he assumed that Zimmerman did NOT have a gun, and would therefore be an easy beat-down, i.e. TM was "someone who was prepared to use lethal force".
- you have to be either lazy or biased (it is a certainty of course that somebody named "Mychal" writing in "The Nation" is both) at this point not to know that Rachel's testimony in fact proves that TM doubled back with the express intention of ambushing GZ.
- "Zimmerman fumbled for an answer" because it's really impossible for GZ to know if some guy he had glimpsed for 20 seconds was afraid of him or not, and whether it was fear or hate or drugs or TM's known and demonstrated criminal mentality that drove TM to try to murder GZ.
- "cartoonish language he ascribes to Trayvon"? a quick look at TM's grunts and squawks on Twitter shows how many levels below "cartoonish" TM's thought processes actually were.
- "criminality of 17 year old black boy". the very last thing in the world this guy wants to happen in this case is to let the jury to find out how much of a criminal this "boy" actually was. he's a recruitment poster for white supremacists.
"Because its clear that, whoever instigated the altercation, Zimmerman followed Trayvon that night. He was instructed not to, but he did anyway"
I read, hear this over and over again. Zimmerman got out of his vehicle and when told 'we don't need you to do that' apparently stopped right there. Theres absolutely no evidence anywhere showing he continued to follow.
I have idiots tell me over and over he shouldn't have followed. But he stopped when asked to. We can't go to a moment before he was told not to.
A chris rock clone... racist and ignorant.
You're allowed to follow people anyway. GZ was on his phone it's not like he was going to attack, he was telling the 911 operator where TM was heading and what address TM was near. Look, the black people who are all riled up know damn well that out of shape, older Zimmerman didn't chase down a 17 year old in shape teen male. They know TM was the stereotypical aggressor who was gonna knock out the cracka for staring at him. TM was to safety, he was close to his dads gf apt. Instead he doubled back and confronted GZ with a punch in the face, and it was done IMO so that Jabba Da Hut illiterate girl who took the stand could get a good ear full of TM giving a beat down. As others stated she probably encouraged it and that's why she went MIA until tracked down by Crump.
That is funny! Sad, but funny.
Don't read fecal matter in The Nation. It will rot your brain.
Very good, except you misspelled 'crackas'...
No cursive in the courtroom either, you betcha!
That kinda talk is not allowed.
6 jurist??? not 12?? I must have slept, when did this change???
Now THAT'S funny.
Yep. Looks just like her.
I have never heard "wet grass", is it a new band?
LOL. I reckon.
Had Z been looking for trouble, been the "aggressor", his firearm would not have remained holstered as he replied to St. Trayvon, and certainly not when "you have a problem now" was uttered.
"Black manhood" is not on trial.
Aggressive, violent, thuggery is.
Because its clear that, whoever instigated the altercation, Zimmerman followed Trayvon that night. He was instructed not to, but he did anyway.
This is a lie by exaggeration. Zimmerman was told he "didn't need to" follow, but was not "instructed not to" follow Martin.
That Zimmerman fumbled for an answer when the lead investigator asked whether he thought Trayvon was afraid of him is emblematic of the way society has trained us to think about black manhood.
When Zimmerman was asked to read the mind of Martin, he took the time to think through the situation and come to a conclusion. Zimmerman was asked to identify the mindset of another person - a task for which he would be deemed unable to do in a court of law. But his hesitation - his thoughtfulness - is interpreted by the author to be stereotypically racist.
The rest of the sentence is "emblematic" of a race hustler trying to convince anyone - perhaps even himself - that the hesitation was racially motivated. Apparently the author is a psychic, who can leap to tall stereotypes of his own in a single thought.
Correct. Black manhood is Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, Walter E. Williams and the black middle class working guy down the street who pays his mortgage and taxes and demands that his kids get educated and act civilized.

I took a break while on a businesstrip to Berne, Switzerland, and found a breadmarket! I was sort of a promotion, all different booths. It was a promotion activity of http://www.swissbaker.ch. Looks like the Swiss bakers community. Just a few impressions:
Roses decoration, looks nice! Pictures quality is from my phone...
Lots of figures. I guess you can eat this as well, but kind of hard to take along to work...
Steinhauer brot, Macenbread? looks from a realy fire based oven.
Cow bread?
I took a few more pictures. Will post them on request. What a shame I could not take anything along home...and what a great break from work.
Well, I had a birthday party to go to (pool-side at my Brother-In-Law's house) and I wanted to do something a little different than the standard birthday cake...so I decided to make a giant chocolate chip sandwich cookie. It's about 12 inches in diameter and contains about a pound each of semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. At the end of the mix, I fold in about 4 ounces of walnuts. The cream filling consists of powdered sugar, egg white, shortening, and vanilla. The cookie dough is from a recipe you can find on any Toll-House chocolate chip bag. Its baked a little on the soft side so it slices like a cake. This one didn't last long after this photo was taken....it was devoured in short order!
This is the second of my reviews on artisan breads available at my local Whole Foods Market. Actually, I visit three locations in my area (Raleigh/Durham, NC) and they are all the same because the are all baked in the same "bakehouse" which distributes them to all of the area stores. As many of you commented in my previous post, nothing quite compares to what you can produce at home....however, there are good bakeries out there and some of this retail stuff is pretty good.
The Whole Food Organic Farm bread is another loaf I really like. Like the Ciabatta, it has the classic crackling crust. This one uses a sourdough preferment that becomes apparent when you take the first bite.; not too tart, but just enough tang where you can taste it. It contains white and whole wheat flour. Uncut, it will keep for three or four days in a paper bag. If the humidity is high and the crust gets a little soft, about ten minutes in the oven at 425 will revive it. This bread isn't my all time favorite as far as retail breads are concerned, but its definitely on my "pretty dog-gone good" list:
Stay tuned for more reviews....My posts can also be viewed on my blog, The Bread Portal.
The oatmeal bread that was exhibited on The Fresh Loaf a few days ago inspired me. I made my first attempt at this bread:

There is a bakery in my neighbourhood called Baker's Delight which is a chain all around Brisbane. They have a bread with a surface that looks like mottled skin of a tiger and it's called Tiger's Bread! It looks most unusual and every time I walked past that bakery I wondered how it got that spotted skin on top.
A week ago I received my "Special and Decorative Breads" by Alain Couet and Eric Kayser, which apparently is a text book for bread chefs in France. I was going over the pages. I don't read their recipes, I just love looking at the photos. And, wouldn't you know? - there it is, Mottled Bread, on page 34, which is also called Pain Marin Tigre! This bread originates from Holland and Northern Germany. The mottled surface is due to an easy technique where a semi-liquid dough is brushed on the top of the loaves right after the dough is shaped for proofing. This semi-liquid dough is similar in consistency to a sponge starter. It's almost like the bread has two layers going into bake. I see this technique quite frequently in Japan.
Now, the yellow semolina flour that I ordered from King Arthur Flour arrived yesterday after two weeks been with the Australian Customs. They are really tough (I mean, the Australian Customs). A three pound bag cost 3 dollars but the DHL across the Pacific Ocean was many times that, which I could accept, but the Australian Customs... they stressed me out.
Anyway, I was rejoicing the arrival of this golden semolina flour and wondering what I should make it into. Whatever it was, I thought I'd better get my starter ready. So, before bed last night, I refreshed my SP's starter. This morning I was thinking, how about Golden Semolina Sourdough with Garlic Corn? Plain semolina sourdough doesn't interest me enough. I thought the color and the sweetness of corn go well with yellow semolina, and the texture would provide an extra dimension to the soft sourdough crumb. As for the garlic, well, caramelised in olive oil, it is a combination that Chinese love. All this musing turned out to be academic as I couldn't get to the shop early enough! I needed to start the first fermentation by 8 am because I had a walking planned.
As I was driving home from my walk, it came to me - why not Mottled Golden Semolina Sourdough? Now, I felt excited.
My 100% sourdough had not risen very much when I got home at around 10:30 because today was a very cool day, 19C (66F). I gave it a stretch & fold and moved it to a sunny spot in my balcony. The dough felt very soft; I knew there and then that I would need to give it a couple more stretch & folds to strengthen it. At 1 pm, it doubled (after 5 hours of bulk fermentation). I checked its temperature with my digital IR thermometer - 23C. I moved it back indoors because it's ready to be shaped. I prepared the semi-liquid solution for brushing. I divided my dough into 4 pieces, and shaped them into rods; brushed the semi-liquid dough on top of all of the rods and placed them on baking paper resting on my counter top. At 2 pm, I turned on my oven to 230C (450F). After 2 hours of final proofing, at 3 pm, all 4 rods went into the oven. Here are the pictures of these mottled 100% sourdough breads:
Mottled Golden Semolina Sourdough
The crumb
I am pleased. The crumb is very open. The flavor is exquisite. And the mottled crust? It is paper thin and soooo crispy. I never knew I could feel satisfied so easily. While I was preparing dinner, the moon has risen... from the east....

Ten Teachers, Ten loaves, Ten days.
I am going to give all of the teachers who have impacted me each a handmade loaf of bread. I need to find recipes for visually appealing, distinct loaves so that I can express my appreciation, and of course so that I have an excuse to try new recipes!
If any one has any suggestions, Id love to try them. I also plan on using some of the recipes on this site and in the BBA. And of course, as my graduation present was a new camera, I'll share all of my experiments.
Happy Baking.
EDIT - Also, what type of kitchen scale would people recommend getting. There is such a wide range that i'm not sure which is the right one.
Hi everyone this is my first ever blog and introductory blog to the fresh loaf
I am 58 years old
I did my apprnticeship as a baker at Noonans Bakery in South Perth Western Australia, worked for 10 years in the trade but got out due the pressures of anti social hours and a young family as well as big bakeries taking over the trade closing down the local bakery.
Worked for 21 years as a government bus driver but got out when the labour side was hived of to private enterprise, stayed as a government employee working for Tafe, currently a supply officer, buying all the colleges requirements.
At tafe we have a hospitality section and the students have a small bakery attached to the main kitchen, from time to time i have been able to assist some of the chef lecturers with my bread skills.
I was able to get our building trades lecturers to have their student build a wood fired oven in the training restaurants forecourt.
The project had all the element that were required for the building apprentices seting out the foundations raising walls, pouring a reinforced concrete raft laying fire bricks , constructing arches, chimney, pouring insulating material, constructing roofing etc.
we now have a wood fired oven that will cook pizza and holds around 18 500g loaves (5kg flour mix) it's marvelous everything i could have hoped for, lights easy bakes to perfection.
I really want one at home and it is on my list of to do things. i have always maintained an interest in bread baking and find it quite therapeutic.
I am really enjoying the fresh loaf since i founs it and will post some pics soon. YOZZA
A friend of mine, who is a great baker, sent me this recipe that she adapted from a clipping that she cut out of the Chicago Tribune in 1994. She's getting ready to move and discovered it when cleaning out her files. She had kept it for 15 years but never tried it (just how many of us have recipes lying around for decades that we've never tried?) The recipe from the clipping was from The Bread Book by Betsy Oppenneer.
I just made half of the recipe but I was really sorry that I didn't make the full batch because this is such a delicious bread with a lot of interesting flavors, a nice soft crust, and a powerful aroma that was even present upon opening the loaf up the next morning. It made my whole kitchen smell like a bakery.
400 g water
14 g instant yeast
625 g bread flour (I used KA--you might need a little more flour depending on how wet your olives and tomatoes are)
42 g dried milk powder
18 g sugar
7 g salt
1 egg, beaten
180 g pitted Kalamata olives, cut in half or thirds (I used a drained 6.5 oz. jar of TJs)
8 oz. julienned sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained (can use reconstituted dry pack if you prefer; I used an 8.5 oz. of TJs julienned sun-dried tomatoes)
25 g chopped fresh parsley (fresh basil would also be delicious)
8 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
Egg wash
Combine water, yeast, flour, dry milk, sugar, egg, and salt in mixer bowl. Mix with paddle just to combine. Add in tomatoes, olives and parsley at the end being careful not to break them up too much.
Let dough rest 15 minutes in covered mixer bowl. Turn out onto lightly floured counter and knead a few turn to form a ball. Place in oiled covered container and let rest another 15 minutes. Do a stretch and fold. Return dough to bowl. Wait another 15 minutes and do a 2nd stretch and fold.
Return to covered bowl and let rise until double (about an 1 1/2 hours--I can't remember exactly how long this took).
Divide dough into two equally sized balls and roll each out into a cylinder about 12" long and 1/4" thick. Sprinkle each rectangle with half the feta, and then cut the rectangle in half length-wise.
Roll up each strip of dough tightly to form a long cylinder, and then roll each cylinder back and forth until each is 24" long. Braid two cylinders together and then coil them to form a round loaf.
Place each loaf on parchment, spray lightly with pan-spray, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let proof until almost double, about one hour.
Place oven stone on rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375º F.
Just before baking, brush loaves with egg wash. Bake directly on stone for about 35 minutes until center reaches 190º F.
Makes two round loaves (can also be baked in loaf pans).
We cut a few slices of the bread when it was still warm (we just couldn't wait; it smelled so good). The reason why part of the slice is missing in this shot is because my husband pulled off one of the bulbs and ate it before going to bed. (Geeze, Jim, you wrecked my picture!)
It also makes great toast. I had it for breakfast and lunch!
I just finished a loaf of sourdough from this recipe http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/4737/finally-100-whole-grain-hearth-bread-i039m-proud
...And I think it turned out fairly well. I had to take some liberties with the development/rising times due to time constraints, but it seemed to work. The dough sat covered for an hour or so after mixing, then a stretch-and-fold, four hours in the fridge, stretch-and-fold, overnight (10 hours) rise in a cool-ish room (~62 degrees), a third stretch-and-fold, after which I shaped it and let it rise in a basket for just over 3 hours. Baking was 40 minutes at 450 degrees, on a stone.
The dough after mixing:
After a stretch-and-fold:

The crumb:
Clearly I need to learn how to score loaves properly. Nonetheless, I'm pretty happy with the look of it. The crumb could have been a little more open, I think, but it was tasty! Not super sour; the spelt and rye go together very well. Many thanks to JMonkey for coming up with a superb recipe. As this is only my third or fourth sourdough loaf I hope to improve upon the results next time.
I was inspired by David (dmsnyder) and his 5 hour baguettes. I needed a sandwich bread that was as lean as I could get it but was still very much soft crusted and soft of crumb. I've found it, I think, by slightly modifying the 5 hour baguette idea and adding one enrichment: olive oil.
Stephanie's Simple Bread Makes 1 small loaf
225g AP or bread flour 10g rye flour 15g white whole wheat flour 3/4 teaspoon instant yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon olive oil 170g water
Mix ingredients in the bowl for your stand mixer until you form a shaggy mass. Mix, on low, for 5 minutes, then increase speed to medium for 3 or 4 more. I left this in a clean bowl for 75 minutes for a first rise, folding at 25 and 50 minutes, and 60 minutes for a second rise. Shaped carefully and proofed for 40 minutes, scored, and spritzed with water. Baked for 30 minutes at 425 degrees.
I posted the recipe on my blog, too.
So thank you David. Thanks also have to go out to Susan of Wild Yeast for inspiration due to the fact that I was browsing the Wild Yeast Blog when I thought about how good a simple bread would be with the locally homemade ham salad I bought today.

Michael Wolff Remains Upset About 'Juicegate'
"I suddenly, through the excitement of the Twitter crowd, became a figure of some wit and coolness."
Last weekend, Michael Wolff was unable to bring his fresh-pressed juice into a movie theater, where he planned to watch Whit Stillman's new film, Damsels in Distress. Sure, he knew about the rule against bringing your own drinks to a movie theater, but it seems as if Michael Wolff might not be entirely convinced rules apply to him. "Besides," as he writes in a lengthy Guardian op-ed on the experience, "this was an art house in the East Village. The East Village — land of nut jobs and bad behavior! And we were seeing ... a film about nuance and sensibility and modern ironies. This wasn't a corporate blockbuster in a soulless multiplex in an authoritarian mall." Whither society, if one can't bring his juice into an art house in the Village?
Well, society is mostly on the Internet these days, and so Wolff began tweeting furiously about the injustice of it all, after the police were called when he refused to give up the goop. (A sequel of sorts to his recent weekend of Fresh Direct complaints.) His "companion" told him not to mention the police's arrival — too embarrassing — but Wolff bulldozed right through that directive, "which turned out to be the hook that electrified the Twitter world," he wrote.
Indeed, in these circumstance, these minor breakdowns of the social compact, I have always tried hard not to say the thing every journalist can barely keep himself from saying: "Do you know who I am? I will write about this, and you, buster, will rue the day you looked cross-wise at me." I mostly succeed in not being this lame because I realize that, astoundingly, nobody cares about journalists (except journalists); and, also, that as a rule you never really do write about this stuff, anyway. Its timeliness is, to say the least, fleeting.
But not for Twitter. Twitter is an ideal medium for not only galvanizing tectonic political crusades, but for chronicling the daft and absurd, no matter how inconsequential. There are no editors to advise maturity and caution; it requires virtually no work; and it lets you publish simultaneously with your outrage and annoyance.
Wolff seems to have interpreted the attention his tantrum got as support. "For my companion, who was clearly ready to bolt throughout most of the incident, I suddenly, through the excitement of the Twitter crowd, became a figure of some wit and coolness," he wrote, and added that he plans to return this weekend — with both juice and Whit Stillman — to the theater for another try in service of his cause. We'll leave the last word with the woman whom we're guessing is the companion in question.
