That's the reason I don't want to carry it in our nursery, Gene. The pot
I bought for myself years ago was a jam-packed 2 gallon which gave a
nice show the first year. The B. Carolina Moonlight came from PDN so I
believe it may have been no larger than a quart. The others were already
in the Prairie before I became a MG.
I have been ordering somewhat large quantities of plants from Prairie
Nursery in WI the last couple of years only to find out just last year
that they have a wholesale division. I think you are already buying from
them Gene, but if not:
The interesting thing is that these large 4-5 inch pots cost less than
the little 2 inch pots I was getting and are well filled out. I notice
they carry 3 varieties of Baptisia.
I suppose if you want to carry them, I would consider them an investment of time.

If I remember correctly it took me several years to bulk up any of the

years before offering them in the nursery. Still another couple of years

I know there has been some concerns expressed about the condition of the condo.
Good news, we have replaced towels, linens, blankets, blender and cleaned the carpets! We are taking your concerned reviews and making changes!
We want you to enjoy your time of relaxation and fun.
Look forward to hear from you.
The condo was spacious, clean, updated and in a very quiet complex. It was in a good location, close enough to walk to a nice beach ( through the Marriott). Other nice beaches were a short drive away. The King and Queen Shops were next door, where there was shopping and some nice restaurants. A nice place, I would stay there again.
Property E2 was an enjoyable place to stay. Not too modern but had all the essentials. Would definitely stay again!
I was a little worried after reading the review prior to our arrival. My worries were for nothing. The place is exactly as described. It was clean and tastefully decorated in a tropical theme. It is very spacious and we were very comfortable. Barbara was responsive to my questions. The location was convenient. The pool and hot tub were very nice and there were two in the complex so it wasn't over crowded. It was a short walk to both Queens Market and Kings Shopping center. I would highly recommend this rental. It exceeded our expectations.
This spacious two bedroom, two bath condo is in a great location not far from Hapuna and Mauna Kea beaches and is very close to "A" beach (that's where the Lava Lava Restaurant is, right on the beach - great for happy hour at 3 pm). The condo is directly across the street from Queens Marketplace (groceries, Starbucks and shops/restaurants) and next door to Kings Marketplace (farmers market on Wednesdays, fish/chips place, gas station and shops/restaurants, a large convenience store). The Hilton and Marriott hotels are close by, just down the road (they both have beach access parking, you could catch a whale watching boat from the "A" beach/Marriott area - the Marriott beach parking is tricky, the turn off from the street is past the Marriott and looks like you are heading into a condo but turn left before the gate). A little farther north taking the turnoff to the Mauna Lani hotel (great place to watch sunsets) is another shopping center with a Foodland grocery store and Tommy Bahamas for happy hour at 4 pm. The shopping center had hula shows at 7 pm on Monday and Thursdays. Farther north is the harbor where you can catch a whale watching boat, the nearby is Pesto Restaurant is excellent (as is the Pesto restaurant in Hilo)
There are two nice pools with hot tubs on the property. The condo has a one car garage (with remote control door opener) which is a great place to keep a rental car in the shade.
The condo has central Air conditioning which keeps the place cool (although in the evening you could open the sliding glass door to the lanai and the window in the front of the condo and get a nice cool breeze and cross flow ventilation). The unit is on the far west of the complex in a quite and shady area. It's on the ground floor and the lanai is wonderful because it is quite, secluded and shady (it faces Northwest and has a garden view).
This place is about 18 miles north of the Kona airport. The condo is about 12 years old, much newer than condos we've stayed at on Maui and Kauai. We spent our mornings at the beach and afternoons at the pool with just a little sightseeing and a few happy hours and sunsets. There is free beach parking at Hapuna through the Prince hotel (at the guard gate just tell the gatekeeper that you are there for beach parking) and also at Muana Kea (but you have to get here early, like 8:15 am because beach parking is limited but if its full then go over to the Prince Hotel for Hapuna beach parking).
The weather was wonderful, great locatation.
Property manager came by three times to see if we needed any supplies or if there were any issues that needed to be addressed.
We arrived at the condo on December 14, 2015, and there was someone else living in the Condo. We were told to go to another location that was owned by the owner which was unsatisfactory due to the alarms going off all night. The condo owner would not respond to me when I asked for a refund for the one nights accommodation. I have sent three email to the owner, Barbara and she will not respond. I give this unit a failing grade, the carpet is disgusting filthy. There was a leak in the ceiling in the bathroom, and it was not repaired the entire time we were at the resort. I suggest that a major overhaul be done on the unit before other guests experience the same problem.
This is a smoke free condo and facility.

Thanks to Cosmetic Laser Beam Clinic, for just $169 (normally $550), you can enjoy a 30 to 45-minute appointment involving state-of-the-art Candela Vbeam technology, used by hospitals such as Westmead and Prince of Wales, that will leave you looking younger. So safe, it's used to treat port wine stains in infants (as well as wrinkles in the more mature among us), it works by sneakily passing through the skin's outer layer and working its revitalising wonders beneath the surface.

Samet has been very professional and has fixed the problem very quickly and at the right price. Will use his services again. Thanks
cost more than written and end up buying extra parts which we didnt needed!
Did everything that was asked, no problems.
Did an excellent job, Lukasz is very creative as a mechanic and I would happily use him again.
Never come back to me after taking £49.
Fantastic! The guys from yourmobilegarage were brilliant! Arrived at a convenient time, completed the job efficiently and I have had no problems in almost a year. Fabulous value and great service- delighted!
Great service, top job.
Truly excellent work, and completed in record time. I am mightily impressed, and the car looks like new. I have no hesitation in recommending F and G to anyone who has invisible mending to be done.
My Saab 9-3, which I bought second hand 5 months previously, needed a service, I was quoted £190. However, I had a feeling it would cost more as lot of work needed doing. After accepting the quote and dropping off the car, F and G rang me requesting that I come in so they could show me what was wrong... I was shown worn tyres, broken suspension, dodgy exhaust and many other faults. They would not proceed with servicing or repair work without having my express permission for each single item, which I gave. I had a suspicion that the bill would be hefty, and it was - a fully itemised £1400. They also gave it a thorough clean and polish, which it needed, free of charge
Every aspect of this experience was positive. Excellent customer care from start to finish. Work completed very promptly with minimum fuss and maximum efficiency. Costs were reasonable. Diagnostics run prior to price quote, work carried out only after checking with me that the quote was acceptable. A brilliant outcome. Thankyou.
Clive came to my doorstep to repair an alleged leak in my smart A/C.He explained in easily understandable words what needed to be done, and what the min max cost would be. The job was carried out in my street. The diagnostic was right. And the cost very reasonable. It does not come better than that.
The service provided was fantastic, reasonable in price and timely. I was explained about the work being completed with politeness and superb competence. All latest equipment was utilised to provide a best in class service and identify faults and any repairs to be made. Would definitely recommend this service provider and will certainly utilise again in the future.
The job was well done and there was good customer service, however overall I thought the price was too high.

Antiretroviral therapy is finally reaching millions of persons with HIV infection in Africa. While countless lives have been saved, it is becoming increasingly clear that deaths in the first 6 months on ART are dramatically elevated as compared to industrialized settings, - perhaps claiming as many as five-fold more than in industrialized settings. Even these alarming estimates, however, are likely underestimates because high losses to follow up in resource limited settings mean that many deaths are not ascertained. The causes of these early deaths, furthermore, are not well explained. Therefore the proposed Aims seek to (1) evaluate a sampling-based technique that we have developed to understand the true magnitude of early mortality;(2) determine whether undiagnosed opportunistic infections are the cause of early mortality on ART by collecting biological specimens and investigating them intensively in San Francisco and (3) develop a clinical prediction rule to risk stratify individual patients for early mortality at the time or ART initiation. Overall, this study seeks to understand the magnitude and determinants of early mortality on ART in HIV infected patients in Africa in order to develop a targeted intervention in the future to reduce it.
These Aims will also provide a platform for completing further career development toward independence as a scientist.
Early mortality on ART may claim 1 in 10 patients of the millions of patients starting ART in Africa. These deaths are likely due to treatable infections. Therefore, a better understanding of early mortality on ART in Africa has the potential to improve ART delivery and save many lives.

The summer school is open to PhD students, post-doc and young researchers. This year's school is on "Shared Experiences: the boundaries of the social brain", organized by Manos Tsakiris (RHUL), Ophelia Deroy & Barry Smith (Centre for the Study of the Senses & Institute of Philosophy, UoL, UK).
The Summer School will take place in the Island of Aegina, Greece (approximately 1 hour by boat from Piraeus, the port of Athens), at the wonderful location of the historic Hotel Apollo (http://www.apollohotelaegina.gr/en), from 21 June to 27 June 2015.
This Summer School builds upon the success of a previous summer school on the "Embodied Intersubjectivity" and "Shared Experiences" that we organized in Aigina in 2013 and 2014.
Applications are now closed for the summer school and results will be communicated shortly. If / when you have received notification that you have been successful, please visit the 'apply tab' to register online.
We would now like to revisit the question of the importance of social interactions in the shaping of body representation and sense of self. The provisional programme of the school will cover questions such as:
1. How do social interactions shape our sense of self, through development and in adult life?
2. Is there a relation between our attitudes to others (e.g. empathy) and our attitudes to ourselves (e.g, empathy toward oneself)?
3. Do social interactions inuence the sense of our bodily self, and what is the importance of various sensory modalities, and their interactions, in these influences?
4. How should we articulate the relation between clinical disorders and social / interaction disorders?
5. Do different kinds of social interactions (or the lack thereof) affect our sense of self in a different way?
6. Do interactions need to be actual to have this influence or can interactions in virtual reality / fictional worlds also affect our sense of self?
To deliver the state-of-the-art research in these fields, we have invited leading researchers from the fields of experimental, developmental and social psychology, cognitive and social neuroscience, primatology and philosophy.

How do I select the email account to forward a hyperlink
I have two pop3 email accounts. When on a webpage in Chrome and I go to Setting>Share>Email ( the pop3 accounts) I get the email that is set as the primary account. I can't find a way to change the account to send from once the email is open.
On my HTC EVO 4G when the email was selected and ready to send if I wanted to change the from account I could tap at the top of the email and I could select the account to send from.
Is there a way to do this with Chrome and the stock email app on this phone ?

There's changes afoot in Indianapolis' music venue world. Below, check out the newest rock and roll bar, a DIY venue opening and DIY venue closing.
Mediumship channels musical spirits in Fountain Square
Fountain Square has found itself the center of the universe. This isn't due to a crack in the space-time continuum or the failings of physics, but rather the tireless work of the bands formed within the Indianapolis neighborhood. The bonds are tight, with bands trading members, rotating concert slots and sharing road stories in an effort to transforms themselves and their community.
Last year's CATARACTS Music Festival served as a coming-out event for many Fountain Square bands. They opened their own homes to fans and the curious with great success. But a neighborhood block party can't sustain itself year round, and with the loss of Shared Heritage as a performance space, the Fountain Square noisers have had to adapt.
Hence, the opening of Mediumship. Located at the intersection of Orange and Wright Streets in the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood of Indianapolis, the space founded by Joey Shepard and Jacob Gardner aims to consolidate the neighborhood's diverging interests.
"Mediumship is essentially a vessel in which we can put all of our efforts as a collective," Gardner said. "Although its original function was aimed at being a DIY label, it serves as an equally functional venue and recording studio."
The scope of Mediumship is ambitious and Gardner isn't shy about it.
"By offering recording services, booking, and eventually vinyl pressing to regional and even national artists, we're here to help foster our community by showing people (not literally) there is more than one way to skin a cat."
The all-in-one venue speaks to how engrained music is in their lives, right down to the name itself.
"Generally speaking, Mediumship refers to the practice of "mediums" that mediate communication between spirits of the dead and other human beings," said Shepard. "Therefore, our collective tries to facilitate experiences that cultivate any type of interaction with the spirit world. We try to highlight the inherent magick in coming together for music, collectively changing consciousness for a few hours, and returning home a changed individual."
Gardner and Shepard's cause is noble, dedicated to the dissemination of music - and not just the work of Fountain Square.
Mediumship is also focused on this year's CATARACTS festival.
"We are having one show a month in preparation for this year's CATARACTS," said Gardner. "The next show at Mediumship will be April 5 with Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk, Kevin Greenspon, Vehicle Blues, and Street Spirits. There will also be many events to come around Fountain Square in anticipation for CATARACTS, which will be on September 15 this year.
Shepard succinctly sums up the goals of Mediumship with one last thought: "We want to elevate our environment through the creation and dissemination of music. Lift it up... "
Mourning the loss of all-ages Dojo
All-ages cornerstone the Dojo has shuttered its doors and disbanded its collective for the foreseeable future. After a recently tumultuous bout of money issues, the all-ages, DIY venue is no more.
The venue has, since its inception nearly three years ago, carried with it the tag of "embattled."
After a brief stint on the Eastside next to the Emerson Theater, the venue was booted by the landlord after police and neighbors complained one too many times about noise and "those darned kids!" It was, in fact, a performance by hardcore legends Terror that brought on the final complaints from neighbors.
The most recent incarnation was helmed by scene mainstay John Suiters. Suiters had earned his spot in the hardcore scene by playing guitar in local favorites Axis & Allies and by being the brains behind The 1511, a house venue in SoBro that, until 2010, was the hub of the local hardcore scene.
In summer 2010, Jackie Palmer and Clark Giles were booted from the original Dojo location on the Eastside. With the scene scrambling for a new location, Suiters stepped up to help find a new place.
"The Dojo opening took a lot of hard work and sacrifices," noted Dojo volunteer Matt Aull. "And it seemed great that [Suiters] was so willing to step up."
The second Dojo incarnation opened at 22nd and College Avenue in late summer 2010. At first, only the dozen or so denizens at the core of the hardcore scene were booking shows there. But word spread quickly to other promoters and in no time at all, the Dojo had become the place for small, all-ages DIY shows in the city.
Shows at the Dojo were booked via email requests from promoters. Volunteers worked the venue during shows, controlling the PA, working the door and closing up shop afterwards. With a scant rental fee of $50, almost anyone could afford to book a show there. But even as shows became more frequent and the Dojo became more financially secure, there was trouble at the heart of the operation.
After trouble from the IRS and internal strife, Suiters announced that the venue's last day of operation would be January 12, 2012.
"It is a bummer to see a DIY, all-ages venue that hosted some great shows go down so ugly," said Aull. "And it sucks that the consensus with everyone, including me, is that the Dojo closing was a really good move."
"The Dojo was the only thing in the city that really kept the scene alive at all," said Dojo volunteer and former Bolth drummer James Lyter. "Without the Dojo, we don't have much of anything."
Suiters opted out of explaining his side of the story, commenting only, "I don't want anything to do with it. The Dojo was filling a need. When that need vanished, so did the venue. I'm just so drained lately with all the bullshit. I don't care to talk about it. I just wish more people actually appreciated what it took to keep it open."
Although the drama at the Dojo may have left a bad taste in the mouths of some dedicated Indy scenesters, the search for more all-ages, DIY venues will continue.
The space that La Jolla left behind has a brand new tenant but don't worry, there will still be plenty of tequila.
The Night Porter opened in late January, just before the Super Bowl flooded Indy with scads of out-of-towners.
Steve Markoff, a partner in the new venture, has furnished the space with a portion of his personal concert art collection. The bar is gilded with tickets and backstage passes from shows in Indy and elsewhere and the walls are lined with signed and numbered rock concert prints. But, the real focus is the bar.
Markoff decorated the bar with six huge murals featuring the biggest rockstars from each decade of the last half century; he said choosing the biggest stars was no easy task.
"Big arguments took place," said Markoff. "The bottom of the actual bar is 186 inches long and has six murals dedicated to who my friends and I felt were the single biggest rockstars from each decade, from the 1950s2000s," said Markoff.
The pieces were designed by Indianapolis artist Aaron Scamihorn (a.k.a. Ronlewhorn).
Why the Night Porter? Markoff says it represents a few different things; first, it's the nickname of his favorite singer Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age. It also embodies the type of service the owners want to impart to the guests.
"Historically, a night porter is the person responsible for hotel guests' needs during the late night and early morning hours," said Markoff.
The, operators will take care of their guests needs with a small menu featuring gourmet macaroni and cheese and other comfort food options and a large variety of vodka, whiskey and tequila.
The art adorning the walls and gourmet comfort food are not the only things that will be curated by the new owners. The music is specially chosen for every night at the bar.
The owners plan on hosting a few DJ nights a week, but Markoff's not ruling out the possibility of hosting larger events. The space, mostly empty except for a few scattered high top tables, could easily accommodate over one hundred people standing with enough room for a full band setup.
Indy DJ Action Jackson hosts a dance night called Night Train every Friday evening at 10 p.m. There is no cover for the weekly event, which features indie rock and current dance hits.
"I can't wait for everyone to see the place. It's truly realizing a dream of having my own rock bar and not a cheese ball rock bar!" said Markoff.

Frost possible here tonight, but I think we'll miss it tonight.
Trees are turning - dogwoods have been turning for a month,
but others are bright now. I've found new homes for most of
my large potted plants - we just can't handle them any longer.
I had a camellia that I grew from seed my father sent me before
he died in 1980. He had a large collection of camellias in Alabama.
He said this might be something special - I never got to discuss it
with him, but it seems to have a drooping habit - branches curve
down and the plant is compact. Anyway, I gave it to a friend who
has a conservatory. I gave my large jade plant that was given to
me by a late District Director in 1988 when she moved to Calif. to
the mansion house at Lasdon Park & Arboretum. They have taken
a couple of my large plants before. Since that is the office of the
FGCNYS District, it seemed appropriate to give it to them. I have
offered a large Sprengerei (sp.?) that I grew from seed a number of
years ago to a neighbor. She hasn't picked it up yet, but that's more
nearly hardy to a light frost than other things. I hate to see my
container plantings go, but that's what happens this time of year.
At least I found good homes for some of them.

Had our first frost last night and another expected tonight. Sigh, winter
coming! The trees just started to turn in the last 48 hours. Crazy
Planned on putting away all the summer things but due to the rain all week,
is just too wet. Maybe tomorrow. So instead I slept all day, no
DH has a bad cold so I am hoping I am not coming down with it.

greenhouse. It seems to work... at least it did last year through
temps and light snow storms. Trees, maples anyway, are starting turn;
dogwood's been red for a month or so--first breezy day and it'll likely be a

too long after it leafed out in spring; now the neighbors have one that
like tapiola.

Coin laundry wins approval
The Akron City Council approved plans this week for a new coin laundry on Copley Road.
James Prentiss of Norton will build a laundry and parking lot at 804 Copley Road at Madison Avenue.
Councilman Russel Neal Jr., who worked with Prentiss on the plans, said the business will fill a need in West Akron. He also hopes it will "stimulate more economic development in that area."
Dow Jones falls 9 points
The Dow Jones industrial average edged down 8.99 points, or 0.1 percent, to 15,967.03, the first decline for the index in five days. The Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 3.66 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,787.87 and the Nasdaq composite fell 17.51 points, or 0.4 percent, to 3,931.55.
Ford inspects car steering
Ford Motor Co. will inspect 386,000 large sedans in the United States to make sure they don't have a steering problem that caused a recall in August. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says Ford will check 2005 through 2011 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles that weren't included in the August recall.
Dealers will check and repair steering shafts if needed. The August recall included more than 419,000 of the same cars in 22 cold-weather states and Washington, D.C. Ford determined that the steering shafts could rust and come apart in areas where salt is used to clear snow, causing a loss of steering. The company found that steering shafts can separate on cars outside the recall area, if they were involved in front-end collisions.
Tesla faces U.S. investigation
Tesla Motors Inc.'s Model S, the electric sedan marketed by the company as "the safest car in America," is being investigated by U.S. auto regulators in a possible precursor to a recall. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced the probe, saying it would look into the fire risks from the cars' undercarriages striking objects.
The probe involves 13,108 Model S vehicles, which are priced starting at $70,000 to more than $100,000.
Maria Bartiromo exits CNBC
Business cable channel CNBC said veteran anchor and reporter Maria Bartiromo is leaving. Her contract ends Nov. 24, concluding 20 years with CNBC.
The New York Times and others reported Bartiromo is joining Fox Business Network. Fox had no immediate announcement.
Home Depot income rises
For the three months ended Nov. 3, Home Depot Inc. reported net income of $1.35 billion, or 95 cents per share, up from $947 million, or 63 cents per share, a year ago. The prior-year period was weighed down by a one-time charge of 11 cents per share tied to store closings in China. Analysts expected lower earnings of 89 cents per share for the latest quarter, according to FactSet. Revenue for the Atlanta-based company rose 7 percent to $19.47 billion from $18.13 billion.
Best Buy profit increases
Minneapolis retailer Best Buy said net income for the three months ended Nov. 2 totaled $54 million, or 16 cents per share. That contrasts with a loss of $10 million, or 3 cents per share, a year ago. Analysts expected 13 cents per share, according to research firm FactSet.
Revenue was nearly flat at $9.36 billion. Analysts expected revenue of $9.37 billion. Revenue in stores open at least one year rose 0.3 percent.
Profits lower at Campbell
Campbell Soup Co. earned $172 million, or 54 cents per share, for the period ended Oct. 27. That's down from $245 million, or 78 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding one-time costs, it earned 66 cents per share. That was 20 cents shy of analyst expectations, according to FactSet. Revenue dipped 2 percent to $2.17 billion, also short of the $2.29 billion Wall Street expected. Campbell Soup expects adjusted 2014 earnings to increase 2 to 4 percent, or $2.53 to $2.58 per share.

Yes, exactly, both of those wars were over quickly. The major issue was the occupation, and reconstruction. War isn't like it was in the old days. Like in Roman times, they could just simply slaughter and crucify insurgents like they had done in Masada. The U.S. and the rest of the world now has to respect human rights and follow certain rules about war.

I don't know if you noticed but both wars completely destabilized the countries and has lead to more innocent death then before the wars started. Do you honestly think going to war with N.Korea will not have the same effect?
Also, as much as I hate say it, simply removing the leadership will only create a even bigger problem. So many people in NK wouldn't know what to do if Kim was taken out of power. You can't simply remove people from a situation like that and expect them function in a normal situation. They have been living under a dictatorship and mass brainwashing for years. If you don't get them the mental treatment they will undoubtedly need, there is no telling what kind of mental break down they will have.

I don't think any potential Korean insurgency would be comparable to the ones in Afghanistan and Iraq. Those groups have been around for decades now and have their own agenda in the Middle East. The dictatorships were pretty good at stomping them out (Saddam just wasn't playing by Uncle Sam's rules).

Moreover, we could hand N. Korea over to the South Korean gov't; reuniting them.

Worse thing America could do, ever. Think about it, closely; what would happen if a productive, wealthy country all of a sudden acquired a whole society of sickly, broke, indoctrinated people in dire need of aid?

I don't know, but they would have to figure that out for themselves. It seemed to work out for Germany. Besides, it would open up a new market for businesses, and provide a new source of labor that South Koreans can benifit from.

Okay, well, what do you guys think would be a better solution?

I've already said it a thousand times in this thread. The war, meaning the fight against the regimes, were over quickly. Those soilders are being killed by insurgents during the occupation process.

And that's why I said what I said. The war may be officially over but for the soldiers on the ground, the soldiers being shot, blown to pieces and being targeted by rocket attacks on their camps etc the war is pretty indistinguishable from the position they find themselves in today.
Indeed, in both Iraq and Afghanistan, for many soldiers the war being over was the start of their troubles - regardless of how politicians classified the conflict at that point. In Afghanistan in particular, dismissing the Taliban as merely insurgents is a dangerous thing to do. They still have a huge influence in the country and are a very present feature of everyday life there.
I'm sure that the grieving relatives back home will be comforted to know that their nearest and dearest didn't die because of war but because of insurgents during the occupation process.

Okay, but solders have a job to do, they're willingly signing up for combat. They know what they're getting themselves into; its not like there's a draft. That's like saying we should not have fire fighters, because sometimes they get caught in burning buildings.
schwerpunk said:
Except it's not at all like that. It's more like saying we shouldn't set entire city blocks on fire in separate theatres and expect firefighters to take this in stride. True, it's their job, but you don't help when you go around starting fires (hackneyed war analogy).

Since we live in the world, war is inevitable, resource problems or not. Humans are, by nature, clannish, violent, possessive aggressors (and apes generally are quite aggressive species). We have always been like that and it is likely that we will continue that way. It doesn't take much to start a fight between two humans. Wars are just the ultimate extension of that.
I heard an interesting point being made on a radio discussion a few months back. One of the speakers said that our technological ability was evolving at a far faster rate than our political ability. What she meant by that was that our intelligence allows us to make bigger and bigger technological advances but, at a base level, we simply cannot stop fighting over what is often the international version of "hey pal, did you spill my pint?". The danger therein is that as we improve our technological abilities we create things that our politics are not mature enough to use responsibly.

With the difference that fire is more of a physical/natural phenomenon, even when deliberately started, and firefighters don't have to face the same moral dilemmas that soldiers or even policemen face when ordered to take lives. There are no human "fire people" to do battle against, just an inhuman "fire elemental", so to speak.
When signing up for (modern) soldiering or police work, you essentially sign up to be a (relatively well-paid) pawn at the hands of your country's political and military elite and you're expected to do what you're told with much less remorse and "veteran's problems" than a conscript that fought in WW II, Korea or even Vietnam. Know how RTS games work, where you tell your units to go there or do that and they say "Yes, Zir!"? That's all there is to it, really, no matter how much they may pump your head full of propaganda trying to make you feel like a special, super-human pro-democracy righteous warrior.
You are NOT reacting to a natural phenomenon, you're carrying out policy decided by humans, for other humans. There's quite a difference. As long are you're only asked to pump someone full of lead from the safety of a helicopter gunship, sure, it's all fun and games. But if you catch lead in the process, don't expect to find much sympathy outside of a closed circle of people in your same situation. After all, your employer grants you medcare/retirement and probably other perks like citizenship, no?

As far as the video insinuation that the US is intentionally starving nk out... bollocks. Anything resembling a north korean economy has been in tatters for over 30 years at this point. Juche policy does a damn fine job enough of keeping their people far hungrier than 3 years of sanctions.

I don't see how being e.g. an extreme right-wing or liberal activist could change the perception of modern soldiering (or merc work, in general) of anyone with half a brain.
In fact, I think a true "economic liberalist" would view it even more cynically and tell you "it's just a job, a dirty one but still a job". Maaaaaybe the right-wing one, if leaning towards the patriotic side, would be more idealistic and view it through less materialistic and cynical glasses (e.g. Warrior's Honour, Duty Towards Your Country etc.) , but then he probably would seriously challenge the "half a brain" assumption. To rise through the ranks of any such organization, you actually need a balanced perception: not too cynical as to disbelieve too much of what you're told to do (and thus do everything half-heartedly), and not too blindly devoted to be considered nothing more than an order dispatcher. You need the right amount of knowing how stuff really works AND how to appear like you are "in" it. Sources: my military experience ;-)
My point was that: WW2-era like G.I. Joe posters appealing to patriotic sentiment alone would hardly move anyone today, let alone convince a young man with perhaps a degree to enlist. Just check out what benefits recruitment offices (in the US) are promising recruits today (salaries well beyond the current minimum wage, college funding, even automatic citizenship). In other Western countries, professional militaries (the ones that actually get sent on NATO missions, not the few cases where conscripts are still used) are much more closed organizations with significant detachment from society (e.g. a Dutchman is unlikely to hear about his country's military in anything except news coverages from Afghanistan or Iraq where they sent a handful of very well-paid specialists, and then again only when someone gets blown up).
Throw in some (typically US) direct collaboration/subcontracting between modern armies and corporations (this goes both ways, e.g. research projects/military protection) and I don't see how any romanticized, idealistic view of soldiering à la Beau Geste could have any place in a modern military. Today, it's all about PMCs, drones, "peacekeeping", "rebuilding" and privatized logistics.

Asbestos Trust Funds
Companies have used asbestos for decades even though health risks have been known. Trust funds are available to compensate patients affected by mesothelioma.
Compensation for Victims of Asbestos Exposure
What You Need to Know About Asbestos Trusts
Billions Available in Compensation
Victims of asbestos exposure collectively received approximately $3.3 billion in total from asbestos trust funds in 2008. The median trust fund payout for a mesothelioma claim was $180,000.
Thousands Are Getting Financial Support
More and more mesothelioma patients and their families are turning to asbestos trust funds for financial support. Approximately 575,000 claims were paid out in 2008, helping families manage lost wages and treatment costs.
Mesothelioma Patients Are Victims
People who develop mesothelioma are victims of corporate misconduct. Companies using asbestos knew about the dangers of their products but neglected to inform their workers.
Get Access to Trust Fund Money
How Can Trust Funds Help?
- Over $30 billion is available for patients and families.
- Potential for an expedited review of your claim.
- Access financial assistance for treatments, lost wages and family support.
Mesothelioma Compensation
Companies set up trust funds to finance these cases and reach settlements. They filed for bankruptcy protection, but with the stipulation that they could still operate as a functioning company. The size of the trust is determined by a bankruptcy court. There have been billions of dollars set aside in these trusts as compensation for patients and their families.
Anyone who has mesothelioma or has a family member diagnosed with mesothelioma can file a claim to receive compensation. This compensation may cover lost wages, treatment costs, funeral bills, and restitution for pain and suffering.
Compensation Facts
- As of 2013, there is an estimated $30+ billion set aside in trust funds for mesothelioma patients.
- About 27.5 million people were exposed to asbestos while working.
- Only 2.5 percent of those 27.5 million have filed for compensation.
- From the years 1980-2002 there was a $70 billion dollar payout to victims of asbestos-related illnesses.
The Johns-Manville Corporation
Originally founded in New York City in the mid-19th century, the Johns-Manville Corporation was once a leading manufacturer of insulation and roofing materials. These insulation and roofing materials, unsurprisingly, contained substantial quantities of asbestos. Employees of Johns-Manville started filing for disability for lung diseases as early as 1929, and the corporation was even involved in a violent strike at one of its supplying asbestos mines in Asbestos, Canada.
In the 1980s, the corporation would be one of the first companies to file bankruptcy as a result of asbestos lawsuits. The company subsequently established the first asbestos trust fund in 1987. This created a precedent that led many major manufacturing companies to file for bankruptcy, thus reorganizing their assets and establishing similar asbestos trusts.
Bankruptcy and the Role of Asbestos Trust Funds
What is Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a form of corporate bankruptcy that allows companies to reorganize their finances in order to continue doing business, while also continuing to pay their debt. Victims of asbestos exposure must file their claims against trust funds if the company responsible for their illness has filed for bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy code doesn't limit victims from how many trust funds they may file a claim against, nor does it set a limit on how much money the victim may claim. If the victim can prove a work history at several different companies who used asbestos they can legally file a claim against each trust fund responsible.
In fact, many victims file claims against more than one trust and receive payment from each. However, victims may not, in some cases, receive the full amount they claim. This depends on how much funding is available through the trust.
Trust agreements are financial relationships between two parties; in this case, the asbestos companies at fault and their trustees. Trusts are traditionally set up to allow trustees to manage the property of another party. The property being managed by trustees of asbestos trust funds is the money set aside to pay victims of asbestos exposure.
The responsibilities of the trustees include:
- Managing investment of the trust
- Filing tax returns
- Filing annual reports to the bankruptcy courts
- Standing in as the defendant in place of the debtor (the asbestos company at fault) in bankruptcy courts
Filing a Claim Against an Asbestos Trust Fund
If the parties involved cannot reach an agreement on their own, the claim is settled in court. However, this is very rare when filing a claim against an asbestos trust fund.
The claims process, assuming out-of-court settlement, is broken up into a 4-step procedure.
1Filing Claims – Filing begins with determining which companies in the claimant's (i.e. the victim of asbestos exposure) occupational history are responsible for their illness. During filing, claimants select the method of review as either expedited or individual review.
2Claim Review – There are two separate procedures for reviewing claims.
Expedited reviews
These reviews settle claims quickly and the payout is a fixed value. This procedure is used when claimants know the fixed value and meet a set of criteria established by the trust, providing medical evidence and occupational history. If the evidence is determined to be sufficient, the claim is valid and the process proceeds to liquidation. If not, claimants can file an individual review.
Individual reviews
These reviews are required when claimants do not meet the criteria set up by the trust for an expedited review. Payout values for individual claims may be greater or less than the fixed values established for expedited claims. Good law firms always try to file for individual review to avoid being restrained by fixed values associated with expedited claims. Therefore, claims tend to be much higher.
3Claim Liquidation – Liquidation is the assignment of a monetary value to the claim. Valid claims filed as expedited already have a monetary value scheduled by the trust. Liquidation for individual claims, on the other hand, is determined by negotiation of the trustee and the claimant's lawyer.
Extraordinary claims
These are special cases where the claim meets the criteria of an expedited claim, but liquidation is allowed to be determined like an individual claim. These claims are used in cases where the claimant was a victim of one specific company under certain employment circumstances, such as being an employee who worked for the company for a significant amount of time (30 years, for example).
4Claim Payment – After an offer is made and accepted, payment is the final step of the procedure.
Payment Percentages
Unfortunately, paying out claims is not always a straightforward procedure. Asbestos trusts set up by companies that no longer exist have a limited amount of funds available to claimants.
Predictions of how many workers might develop mesothelioma per any given company are naturally flawed.
Payment percentages are the proportion of the fund entitled to the claimant. This is predominantly set up to avoid huge individual claims from exhausting the fund. Therefore, if a claimant's claim was hypothetically liquidated at $100,000 with a payment percentage of 25 percent, the trust would pay the claimant $25,000.
Payment percentages can change over time, and are different for each trust. Some trusts have a payment percentage of 100 percent, while others have egregiously low payment percentages of 1 to 2 percent.

Over 17 hours of material. 613 four to ten line dialogues in English and Italian using the most common words in the language. The only tool you will ever need to learn Italian!
©2013 Trout Lake Media (P)2013 Trout Lake Media
"Useful if you already know a little Italian"
Read by an Italian native speaker with excellent audio quality. The entire audiobook follows the same pattern as the short sample that you can hear on Audible: a few simple phrases that combine to make a very simple dialogue.
There's enough variety to keep it interesting: the first half hour covered traffic offences, cupcakes and alien spaceships. If a topic doesn't interest you, it doesn't matter because each dialogue is only about 90 seconds long and the next one will be completely different.
The phrases seem to be well thought-out with a mix of simple translations and slightly more complicated ones that illustrate appropriate use of 'style' - for example translating "Do you think so?" as "Credi?" in the context of a conversation.
I would recommend this recording to someone who has got through most of the Pimsleur or Michael Thomas audio courses or who has at least a basic ability to hold a conversation in Italian.
"Great way to learn Italian conversation"
Huge amount of useful content. Ideal for an improving student looking for conversation learning. Certainly value for money.
"A good way to learn conversation"
I think it is very good way to become proficient in being able to think in Italian. I have been teaching myself the language for 3 years but I cannot call up my mental vocabulary quickly enough to keep pace with your dialogue. This can be frustrating, especially when the sentence is familiar to me. l would like a longer pause between the English phrase and the first response in Italian. A variable pause control would be a great help to beginners like me.
The speed of the pronunciation is not a problem.The x 1 settimg is perfect.
Rose Grant
"fun short colloquial dialogues"
fun practice of short relevant phrases. enjoying it a lot. good supplement to more formal material.
"There IS a transcript with enhanced audio in iTune"
This has got to be the most underrated and certainly the cheapest thing I've ever loved.
First, it's in English - so you have time to think of the Italian - then you hear the Italian and just when you think, "Gee, I didn't quite get that" they then repeat it slowly and carefully so you get every work clearly and distinctly.
The narrators are charming - you enjoy listening to them again and again. As if they have a personality - not someone hired by some mass-media company. And every so often some of the English words are (not often) adorably mis-pronounced. eg. "a baked potato" (baked pronounced to rhyme with 'naked' - so it becomes a 'bake-ed' potato ;).
There is understated humor in 4-5 line dialog that really make me smile. Like:
"I like that actress"
"Which one?"
"The one who is in all the movies."
"Well that doesn't narrow it down very much"
It's not in your face funny or "trying" to be funny (which is always lame when done on purpose) but just amusing in it's own way without trying to be. Really cute. And you learn.
Buy this quick before it's removed. And there IS the book in iBooks over at iTunes. The title is almost "hidden" by being called: "613 Italian Dialogues With Audio" It's $14.99 and worth every penny because not only the audio is included in the text but it's looped for each dialog. Go over and have iTunes send you a 'sample' or 'preview' and you'll see what I mean. You won't regret this purchase. (p.s. I also have the German 74 dialogs with text done in the same way).
"This is an excellent audio book "
I am independently studying Italian now that I have taken enough classes (is there ever enough though?). From the beginning, this book starts right away with meaty dialogues that you would use daily; and the Italian accents, articulation and speed of the narrators are excellent for the learner. I'm an upper intermediate learner and I found that the composed dialogues challenged me, using certain rules and grammar structures that are important to know.
"I'm So Glad I Found This Book!"
I've been studying Italian for about six years now and have needed a book like this to help further my skills. A few people writing in have been saying that the content is strange and involves topics they would never use, but those folks have missed the point of this book entirely. Its main purpose is to teach sentence structure, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, listening, and speech flow. These things are all crucial to learning another language and this book teaches them incredibly well. Not only that, but some of the dialog is surprisingly funny (e.g. "I can't wait for Christmas!" "I can't wait for you to leave." and "I'll run to the store for more apples." "Do you know how to use a gun?").
The narrators themselves are native speakers which helps eliminate doubt as to whether or not the language is being used properly, though it does get a little confusing sometimes with the English translations. That shouldn't pose as an issue for English speakers though and actually helps one to think critically and further analyze how to piece together phrases.
Among the lessons are various interchangeable ways to say things in order to provide the listener with a more thorough study guide for the language, which is an amazing way to get one to learn and pay attention.
I'm so glad I found this audiobook, especially for such a low price (seriously! 95 cents is such a steal!). It's helped me tremendously and I can't recommend it enough!
"Not dialogues, just random often stupid phrases"
This book is not what is advertised. It is just a random collection of often useless phrases not connected "oh look, it's a bear" or "should I bring my headlight". Not very useful in Rome. This is one of three books I've tried, quite sure I'm going to cancel my subscription.
"Fantastic Resource"
Yes. It's an interesting way to get conversational in Italian in a short amount of time.
"Do you work around here?"
"I never work. I am rich and lazy"
"Now you are joking"
"I never joke about money".
Dialogues such as these make me feel like I'm listening to my relatives. Very authentic (& funny). Just to be clear, not all the dialogues are funny mostly just authentic, useful phrases. But when they are funny it's an unexpected gift (especially if you don't follow along with the e-book).
No - I practice a bit everyday.
Finding this resource was a very pleasant surprise. I hope they do more in Italian!
"Painfully slow"
Good grief! Would it be too much to ask that the English parts could have been by a native speaker of English? Especially with the male narrator, there were times I could not understand what he said because his English was so bad! And his parts were entirely too slow. Not only that, but it was obvious that there was no English expert even consulted on this priducti
"Useful and Practical but no transcript"
In addition to the fine performance of the native speaker, I enjoyed the fact that the great majority of the dialog was something that a person travelling in Italy might actually be able to use. I've studied many other courses and this one is different enough to really improve on what one already has learned. Not so good for a beginner and there doesn't seem to be a transcript, which is the only reason I knocked off a star from the overall.

This Greek Orzo Chicken Soup is easy to make, delicious to eat, and nutritious, and if you prepare it mindfully, it can help your family reduce food waste too.
The topic of Food Waste has been on our minds for quite some time now, because the numbers are just so darn staggering:
> 40% of the food in the United States goes uneaten on any given day, which translates to more than 20 pounds of food waste per person every month.
> From farm to table, a 15% food waste reduction could feed more than 25 million Americans every year at a time when one in six Americans is food insecure.
The GOOD NEWS: The U.S. is aiming for a 50% reduction in food waste by 2030
Tune in to this week's Cooking with the Moms podcast for tasty tips on how you and your family can reduce food waste, cook mindfully, and bring about change in your communities.
When we created this recipe for Greek Orzo Chicken Soup, we did it in a mindful way, paying close attention to reducing food waste every step of the way. This 'technique' of cooking mindfully really works because it forces you (in a good way) to think about every ingredient and every scrap of food that's left over throughout the cooking process.
Indulge us as we walk you through our mindful food-waste-reduction exercise:
(1) Purchase a rotisserie chicken and remove the meat. Set one cup aside for the soup and then place the remaining 3 cups of chicken in a zip-top freezer bag. Label, date, and freeze.
(2) Place the chicken bones in a zip-top freezer bag and freeze for later use in a homemade chicken broth.
(3) Open a can of chickpeas. Drain and rinse. Set 3/4 cup aside for the soup and either eat the remaining chickpeas in a salad some time over the next few days or place leftovers in a zip-top freezer bag and freezer for later use.
(4) Wash and peel the carrots and chop the dill. Save the scraps in a zip-top freezer bag, freeze, and add to it over the coming weeks. Use food scraps + chicken bones to make a homemade broth.
(5) Freeze the leftover dill in a zip-top bag for later use or keep the dill fresh by trimming the stems, placing in a small cup of water, covering the cup with a plastic bag, and placing in the fridge. Change the water every day or two.
(6) Make just enough soup to serve four people. Double the recipe ONLY if your family can eat the soup in one sitting, loves leftovers, or if you want to share with friends or freeze the leftovers for another dinner.
- 4 cups low-sodium, all-natural chicken broth
- ⅓ cup whole wheat orzo
- ½ cup shredded carrot
- 1 cup roughly chopped or shredded cooked chicken (5 to 6 ounces)
- ¾ cup chickpeas, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
- Crumbled feta cheese, optional
- Place the broth in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Stir in the pasta and carrot, raise the heat, and return to a boil.
- Cook the pasta at a low boil until done, about 8 minutes. Stir in the chicken, chickpeas, and dill and heat through. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve in individual bowls and top with extra chickpeas, dill, and feta cheese as desired.
Be sure to tune in to Cooking with the Moms (episode #283) for lots of tips for how you and your family can save money by reducing food waste in your homes and communities. And by all means, weigh in with the tips and tricks that have worked for you.
13 responses to "Greek Orzo Chicken Soup + Cooking Mindfully to Reduce Food Waste {Podcast #283}"
This looks seriously delicious! And so easy to make!
Love the recipe but even more love the strategy behind it – I'm definitely being more mindful about food waste this year – behind our compost bin. Thanks for the awesome tips!
I've been trying to be more mindful of food waste. I have large ziplock of veggie scraps in my freezer right now 🙂
To reduce food waste and also make it quicker and easier to find things I label the front of our plastic containers as they go in the fridge. Open the door and you can see at a glance what is there, and when it went in, so you know what to eat first.
Great topic! I always save the chicken bones for homemade stock but I'm not good at saving the vegetable scraps. I need to work on that! And this soup looks heavenly!
LOVE this post and your tips for cooking mindfully! We were actually talking about what a big issue food waste is with our kids at our family dinner last night. I am a "work in progress", but after reading your post I know the first thing on my list I need to do is to stock up on freezer bags! Your soup looks delicious too 🙂
Love all the focus on food waste this year! The way you guys broke down the recipe to explain how to avoid wasting any part is just fabulous. Great job!
This looks so good and comforting, I'm headed to the store to pick up the items that I don't usually eat like orzo and dill. I live alone so I might need to freeze leftovers, do you think that will work?
