Weekend Bookworm: Silent House
01 March 2013 , 10:36 AM by Rob Minshull
It is the summer of 1980 and Turkey is on the brink of a military coup. Three siblings - Faruk, Nilgun and Metin - are visiting Fatma, their 90-year-old grandmother in the coastal village of Cennethisar.
As one American reviewer put it, reduced to the bare bones of plot, Silent House sounds like one of those plays about dynastic reunions which are always threatening to erupt into a frenzy of recrimination and resentment as buried secrets are exhumed, accusations levelled and amends made just in time for the final curtain.
Fatma spends her time reflecting angrily on her past and badgering her servant Recep, a dwarf and the illegitimate son of her late husband. Faruk, a man who has 'convinced himself there is no hope, and for no good reason', is an alcoholic historian attempting to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, who was working on an 'encyclopaedia of everything'. It was a task which led his grandfather to his death and provoked to the undiminished disgust of his pious wife because, above all else, the work would disprove the existence of God.
The youngest brother, Metin, dreams of escaping to America and spends his time in the company of his nouveaux riches friends while Nigun, the pretty sister, enjoys the sun and the sand but reads a communist newspaper. Unfortunately for her, she has attracted the attention of Recep's nephew, Hasan, a violent young man who runs with a gang of Islamic fascists who terrorise the local newsagents and who are none too keen on left-wing newspapers - or their readers.
It is a collection of characters guaranteed to provide a fascinating tale of tradition, transition and inter-generational tension. In fact, Silent House was only Orhan Pamuk's second novel and was first published in 1983 - only three years after Turkey's coup. Clearly contentious at the time, it was probably thought too parochially Turkish to translate into English until Pamuk was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006.
Silent House is, however, not just an amazing piece of storytelling; it is also pertinent for the 21st century in reminding us about the damage young men can do when trapped by despair and offered only violent, cataclysmic ideologies as a solution.
A story told through the different monologues of each character, the novel shifts between the different generations and their perspectives and aspirations. Read through 'the double veneer of time and translation', Silent House is an all-encompassing tale of history and religion, of family and love, of dreams and despair. It is never anything less than fascinating.

These days the language police are active throughout the world ensuring people speak and write correctly according to standards of excellence identified by those in charge of governments. The Slovak government two weeks ago signed into law that use of minority languages in their country(usually, that means Hungarian) on official documents or in communications will be subject to strict control. The use of minority languages in official documents of municipalities with an ethnic minority of less than 20% will be banned. The language police even made legal that the Slovak writing on monuments must always be in larger print than any other language. Several European Union officials claim the Slovak law violates EU law.
I was raised in a bilingual immigrant family where most people spoke at least two or three languages. I grew up to write a history of America which suggests my sense of nation was not damaged by being able to speak other languages. It is more important in life to speak multiple languages than a single one. Anyway, I enjoy learning other languages when I see signs in non-English ads.

Now days, ITS"you did not make that bird" !! :?
The whole point of the Obama quote actually was gratitude,
I don't understand this philosophy of individual pride. I have worked hard my entire life--at home, at school, at college, on our farm, in my jobs that started at age 14. And yet, I don't take credit for all my success in life. It feels arrogant to me, and completely unwilling to acknowledge the sacrifices of everyone before me that made my life possible today.Why is it that many conservatives don't believe pride/independence and gratitude can exist together? Do you really need to take credit for ALL of your successes? If you are parents, will you be fine if you children take credit for ALL of their successes and can't even acknowledge the sacrifices you have made to make their lives what they are?
i think you are missing the point. it's not that we are not grateful for what others have done. it is that we are responsible for what we do and expect both the reward and consequences for our actions.if my sons are grateful, but they do nothing with their lives, i will not be happy. if they are successful, i don't expect to share in that just because i sent them to school and fed them. that's my job as a parent. their job is to go out and do well. there is something else about conservatives, and that is that they give. they are more apt to contribute to charity in both time and with more money as a % of income. one of the reasons i do what i do is that i don't think government should be doing it. the work does need to be done. if i don't think that government should do it, then i'd better get my butt out there and work. i have taught me sons the same. i don't owe anyone anything, but i choose to give of my own free will. i think we instinctively know that government is not a good solution to much of anything. we allow ourselves to be talked into the government programs because it's easy. even those very rich philanthropists on the left don't believe that government is the answer or they wouldn't set up private foundations to do the things that government claims it does, but at which it fails
However, one problem is that a lot of the conservative contributions were going to things like large churches instead of social problems
The churches WERE among the conservative givers. However, for individuals, often their donations were to build big churches, as in $ went to the building itself. I realize those churches then may become givers themselves, but I wonder how huge and fancy they really need to be.

Modest words from a group
of men who, with vision and planning, sought a way to
improve the quality of life in the small community of
Montrose, Michigan. From its humble beginnings in 1972
until today, the Montrose Blueberry Festival has become
a recognized symbol of community volunteerism and spirit.
Hundreds of volunteers give countless hours each year
to guarantee the event's success. That success can be
measured by the hundreds of thousands of dollars in
contributions the festival has made to the Montrose
community and by the simple fact that the event has
lasted so long.
So join us as we celebrate our 45th Annual Montrose Blueberry Festival.

Hey y'all
Just wanted to say hi. I am still here. I like I have been so busy, that I just don't "hang out" here anymore.
Just wanted to say "Hey"!!
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!! :)
with this economy, sometimes "busy" can be a good thing! :p:p:p:D:D:D glad to see ya!!
hey its good to hear from ya!
hi hello wutz up how ya doing
Hi Deb, Mark and Carole.
Hello!!! :D
Hey :) How's it going?
*** edit *** oooops.........
This is Debbi at the helm. I did not realize I was on Mark's log in. We have one computer and trade off throughout the day.
It is a really good thing to be busy, no complaints here. :)
I got to the bottom of this. Last year was my first SDCC. I had HUGE expectations and when all was said and done. I did not really enjoy it. Other than seeing everyone and hanging out. So this year, Mark and I decided not to go. Part of the decision is the economy, part is because we are busy with sewing and our own costumes and family costumes, and baby clothes for a ready to be born 2nd niece, etc.. :)
I get tired thinking about it, LOL
But, I have come to realize that I am I missing out. Lots of friends are already there, calling us and telling us to drag ourselves down there. And yes, I MISS MY TDH FRIENDS.
I loved working the table last year and meeting everyone.
So, Cheers everyone. I do hope you all have a super great time at SDCC 2009
Ok, I am logged in correctly now. I thought I was feeling a bit strange.
Heya! How are things going? I just wore Fett to my first event :) The suit, and vest fit like a glove! Thanks! :)
:skull El1te
Hey, I am glad to hear it! You are 501st approved, correct?
It is such a blast to troop! The best part is holding onto a bit of child-likeness.
It keeps me balanced in this crazy world.
:) Not yet... still need my blasters! :( haha... My favorite part of Otakon was a little kid dressed as Boba, he was so excited to see my friend and I in our boba costumes. Definitely the highlight of my costuming at that con!
:skull El1te
I believe you mean this little guy. Oh btw The jumpsuit you made for me Has held up to many troops and rocks! Thank you again! (I'm on the right brandon is on the left)
ahhh, that is the cutest pic ever!!!
I am glad to know your flightsuit is working out well.

It's Election Day
(Cleveland) -- It's Election Day, and even though there are no state or national contests, there are still some interesting races to watch today, including that for the mayor of northeast Ohio's largest city.
Frank Jackson is running for his third four-year term as mayor of Cleveland. His challenger is businessman Ken Lanci. The big question for voters in Cleveland is whether the city is better off than it was before Jackson became mayor, or whether it's worse off. Jackson basically saying that he has kept city services and taxes stable, while Lanci says city hall is far too much in the hands of downtown business interests and doesn't help the neighborhoods enough.
Beachwood has a mayoral battle in which the mayor is being accused of abusing city perks. In North Olmsted, the current and former mayor are up against each other, with a legal battle brewing as to whether the former mayor can refer to himself as "mayor" on campaign signs. In Bedford, an 18-year-old college student is one of the candidates. And, in Brook Park, Tom Coyne wants to return to the job he held for 20 years. Shortly after Coyne retired, he wound up drunk and half-naked along a street in North Olmsted.
Voters across Cuyahoga County are deciding the fate of tax issues for the Port of Cleveland and the Cleveland Metroparks, as well as a health and human services levy. In Lorain County, all voters will make a decision on a tax levy for Lorain County Community College, as well as an increase in the county's sales tax rate. Lake County voters will choose on a children's services levy as well as keeping a sales tax to support their transit service. In Geauga County, they have two health-related tax issues on the ballot.
Some communities have judicial and clerk of court races on the ballot. There are no statewide issues on today's ballot, and since it's not an even-numbered election year, no races for state legislature or congress. The next presidential election won't be until 2016.
You can hear election results tonight in our top and bottom of the hour news on WTAM 1100, and talk about them on the Bob Frantz show. We'll also have links to every local result, on demand, here at wtam.com.

The Canisius College swimming and diving teams continued their recent runs of success against Geneseo on Saturday, as both the men and women won by identical scores of 144-99.
After breaking a school-record that had previously stood for 18-years in the 1-meter dive at the Rochester Invitational last week, it took only one week for junior Eddie Quarantillo to up his mark again. Quarantillo scored 316.60 in the event, which gave him another first place finish.
Quarantillo also set a new school record in the 3-meter dive, breaking his own previous record from the 2011-12 season with a score of 342.07. The mark qualifies him for NCAA Zone Regionals in the event. Quarantillo became the first diver in program history to qualify for the NCAA Zone meet last week in the 1-meter dive.
Overall, the Griffs had the top-time or score in 17 of the day's 26 events.
The Canisius women began the day with another strong performance in the 200-yard medley relay, as the team of sophomore Clare Battaglia, freshman Marissa Watroba, sophomore Alicia Wheeler, and senior Kelli Graber took the first with a time of 1:52.58.
Graber continued the success onto the 50-yard freestyle later in the meet, as she out-touched freshman Hannah Graesser – who won the event in the Griffs' first two competitions this season – to take the top spot with a time of 24.88.
Graesser rebounded quickly however and took first place in the 100-yard freestyle (54.71) just three events later.
Graber and Graesser would later team up with junior Marissa Oakey and sophomore Alex Doody to swim the 400-yard freestyle relay in 3:40.34, which was the event's fastest time.
Doody was one of four Griffs to take home two individual victories on the afternoon, placing first in both the 200- and 500-yard freestyles. Battaglia was the other member of the women's team to do so, placing first in the 100-yard backstroke and the 200-yard IM.
On the men's side, sophomore Spencer Bray swam the meet's two distance freestyle events and took home the top-spot in both. Bray finished the 500-yard freestyle in 4:47.70, and the 1000-yard freestyle in 9:52.68.
Freshman Matt Tanchick won a pair of events for the Griffs as well, winning the 200-yard IM (1:59.63), and the 100-yard breaststroke (1:00.24).
Freshman Colin Landweer took home the top-spot in the 50-yard freestyle for the Griffs, finishing in 22.17.
The Griffs will now have a two-week layoff before their next competition, when they'll take on local rival St. Bonaventure in Olean on Nov. 16. That meet is scheduled to get underway at 11 a.m.

what size injectors were used on original 16v-G60 from vwms, also is BBM chip just a copy of vwms one?
what size injectors were used on original 16v-G60 from vwms, also is BBM chip just a copy of vwms one?
they are stock G60, green for the vwms tune.
yes we have the vwms program, however the chip we use and ship is not the same and improved.
BBM has 16v Ltd. goodies on the shelf...
It has been some time since we have had these parts in stock!
Pretty sure you wont see the BBM Ltd integration for some time...if ever again.
Thanks guys and gals for your business and support.
If anyone is interested I have a few of the 90* distributor caps.
which chip you are recomended? (bar-tek...bbm ?which is better to my setup)
i`m building engine based on 9A bottom and top
G-lader wheel -standard
i don`t want it to be a racer car..just smooth powerful ride from which i expect about 210hp
what chip you have -what setup + dyno might help me
thanks in advance

Well, I've got the inital break-in done of the engine and charger rebuild.
How about some number comparisons for a couple things?
Boost numbers for stock 78mm pulley and ported head? I'm only around 5-6 psi... about right for the increased head volume? I'm thinking I might have a slight boost leak. At the 1500 mile point I'll change to my 68mm pulley and I'm hoping for a good increase there. Then I'll go for my dyno and see what we're seeing at the wheels. Definitely is more fun than the stage1 g60.
Vacuum? I'm pulling about 15mmHg at idle about 20mmHg under engine break. Seem about right?
Oil pressure? Mine seems good... at 180 degF oil temp I have 1bar at idle and about 2.5 bar at 2000rpm. Certainly better than my PG. This is with 5W30 dino oil. I'll put my heavier synthetic in at 1500 miles.
we have our 16v ltd. integration package on our old school price of $1199
Very useful thread, it was a big help for my project!
It's been my dream for a fhew years, but I'm goin' 16VT because of less fuel consumption... As I was told.
I lost my job, and now 16VT project will hold.
The sound of the PERFECT!
Mine so far,measuring,fiting before complete resto
like the video. my 16vt is in progress. taking longer than i want but i'll post up a vid of that to give you something to look forward too. that is as long as the o2c tranny holds up for us...
At last, I finished my 16v-G60 Lysholm project. Hope you like it:
That looks great!
hows it going was wondering if the 2.0 16v head from a 93 passat will fit on my 90 1.8 g60? thanks
With the purchase of our new BBM Supercharger kit.
The BBM 16v Ltd. integration is $400 dollars off of the already low sale price.
You will need to call in your order for this VWVortex deal.
Does BBM make anything like this anymore? I have a 16v on Digi 1 and I'd like to run the blue Digi 1 CTS as opposed to the white 16v CTS like I am now.
that part was a one off custom part.
feel free to call us, we have a solution for you.
for those with a running 16vg60 can you post what software you are running and the results if dyno'd....just doing some research...

not diggin the big hole in the P. i feel like your individual letters are too spread out.
the big hole in the P is ugly, and that dot in the dot of the i is weird but it has something!
thats not a throw yo
did these 2 while waiting to pay some bills so they are a bit sloppy, just posting them to see if letter type and placement are better this time. also decided to do a lower case E on one of them to see how it looks like
youre basically doing more straight letters, just shittily proportioned. go on flickr or google or this forum and look up some throws
dont buldge the letters
gonna try a few more but before i do, quick question should i stick to lower case E or capital?
depends on what you like. Go peep game at the throwie battle thread and look at what a good throw looks like. If you still dont know after that, go look at nouveaup's posts
i went through the past 30 or 40 pages of this thread i think i got a better idea here are 2 i just did, please crit and tell me which one is better if any. ill then work on that one and do a better version

From the Sure Sight website:
2. The larger and brighter the front sight, the greater the chances of it being seen, even with your eyes intently and involuntarily focused on a distant threat.
3. Since the front sight is far more critical to both pinpoint accuracy and speed than the rear sight, the front sight (or target) is where your focus needs to be, not blocked by the ordinarily larger conventional rear sights.
Years ago, and I mean quite a few I had an ASP which was a highly modified Model 39 S&W. It was the child of Paris Theodore and purportedly the CIA weapon of choice, using three converging sides of a channel to provide a sight picture. It was an excellent weapon and I wish I had never sold it. I imagine it would be worth something now. I opted for the Browning HiPower in its place as I needed more capacity and it fit me better. Sight system was still awesome.

Step 1: Find a suitable wall without obstructions
Photo 1: Open the wall
Open the wall for the chute by carefully removing the baseboard then using a utility knife to cut out a chunk of drywall 42 in. high down the center of each stud. Use a reciprocating saw or handsaw to cut out the base plate between the studs. Work the plate out carefully; the drywall and the trim on the opposite side might be nailed to it. Then cut a hole through the plywood floor for the duct to slide through. At the top of the cutout, install a 2x4 piece of blocking between the studs as a nailing surface for the frame of the laundry door.
If you live in a house without a clothes chute, you're probably sick and tired of running up and down the stairs from your bedrooms and bathrooms to your laundry room, toting baskets of dirty clothes and towels. If you can find a suitable location, consider a laundry chute!
Installing a laundry chute can be a breeze if you have an unobstructed path between the two floors—or impossible if you encounter wires, plumbing or other obstacles.
The best place for a chute is often a hallway. The job is easier if the wall runs parallel to the floor joists or the studs in the wall are "stacked" directly on top of the floor joists below. Use a stud finder to locate two studs, then bore a small exploratory hole to check for obstructions.
Step 2: Install the metal duct
Photo 2: Assemble and insert the duct
Snap the rectangular duct pieces together and use metal-cutting snips to expand the opening in the 90-degree elbow so it's just slightly smaller than your laundry door opening. Trim and fold over the opening flap that you cut, then install the chute. Using sheet metal screws, attach the duct to your top blocking and the studs on each side. Duct-tape the joint between the two pieces on the inside and on the edges of all openings so clothes won't snag on sharp edges.
To make the chute, use ordinary 3-1/4 in. x 12- or 14-in. galvanized heating duct. You'll also need a 90-degree elbow with a 6-in. register opening and a preassembled laundry chute door. These materials are available in the plumbing and heating sections at most lumberyards and home centers.
Some communities have strict fire codes that prohibit or limit the installation of laundry chutes, especially those that are two stories tall and present an unobstructed pathway for smoke and fire to spread. Check with a local building inspector before starting the project.

.here poly box price is 15 euros.
Dannyboy, you're clueless.I've gone through 8 generations of poly hives and run over 30. Heck, I'm just here trying to share real observations with folks interested in different ways of doing things. Obviously you're not one of those folks. If nobody is interested, then fine, I've got plenty of other things to do.
I take photos of the hives in my back yard, it's more convenient. The majority of the hives are located on a farm. I may expand up in numbers as I get my designs completely tuned for my goals.Fshrgy99, that video has been posted on here at least 3 times before. It is a good video none the less. That bee keeper is quiet the trooper. Lots of good ideas in that video IMO.
One more time What does 8 generations actually mean in years? How many winters have you been through

Danish journalists warned members of the Danish Union of Journalists(DJ) that recent legislation passed by the Swedish government poses threats to freedom of the press. Under new Swedish laws, its country's intelligence services will be able to monitor all correspondence going in and out of the nation and that would include phone calls made by journalists from Denmark to their colleagues or sources in Sweden. The Danish journalists now fear that a phone call made within Denmark might be intercepted if its signal passes through Swedish air or cyberspace.
Mogens Blicher Bjerregaard, president of DJ, warned "there could be a story within public administration or within a company where the source wants to pass on information anonymously." In such situations, due to the new laws, these people might decide to remain silent for fear of having their presence known to superiors or authorities. Each time democratic societies decide to erode civil liberties in the name of national security, terrorists chalk up another victory in their fight against democracy.

I'm not a Ruger owner but the consensus is that they are not the most attractive guns, but very durable and reliable. It won't be a Smith but it will serve your purpose. But for that asking price you can probably find a Smith for about the same amount. Look into prices for the M&P's in 45 cal.

One of the most important items that I have with me at almost all times is my planner. Without it, I would truly be lost and never know what I am supposed to do or where I am supposed to be and at what time. I have used a planner during my entire time here at Roger Williams University. I used one in high school as well, but I need one now more than ever.
By: Shannon '15
Without my planner, I would be completely and utterly lost, disorganized, terrified! It is my wingman, my other half, my lifeline. A planner comes in all different shapes and sizes. It can be used for scheduling appointments; making to-do lists, keeping track of dates, and so much more. Some people might think that having a planner is a hassle and that it is extra work, but what they do not know is that it can keep your whole life on track!

Carob-Banana Bars (grain-free + sugar-free)
These moist, delicious, high-protein gluten-free, sugar-free bars are made with almond flour, carob powder, and a touch of cinnamon. They are sweetened only with mashed banana and liquid stevia. Carob powder is naturally sweet unlike cocoa powder which is very bitter. This means that you do not need to add massive amounts of sweetener as you need to with cocoa powder. Carob is also a decent source of protein and high in calcium. Although carob doesn't taste like chocolate, it does have a sweet, nutty, molasses-like flavor that adds depth and a unique taste to your baked goods.
If you would like to replace the carob in this recipe with cocoa powder then I suggest either increasing the liquid stevia or consider adding about 1/4 cup of coconut sugar to the recipe. I use blanched almond flour in this recipe which is very different from the almond flour you find in most health food stores. It can only be ordered online and can't be substituted with other ingredients. I know many people who are gluten-free already use this flour. It is perfect for grain-free cooking and also adds tenderness, flavor, and nutrition to grain-based gluten-free baking.
Grain-Free Carob-Banana Bars
These bars make a nutritious, quick breakfast or a healthy after-school snack. Serve them with a glass of raw almond milk. I buy my almond flour from Lucy's Kitchen Shop here in Bellingham but you can also find it at Honeyville or Benefit your Life.
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups blanched almond flour
1/2 cup carob powder
1/4 cup arrowroot powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Wet Ingredients:
2 large ripe bananas, mashed (1 heaping cup)
2 large organic eggs
1/4 cup melted virgin coconut oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
20 to 25 drops liquid stevia
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Oil an 8 x 8-inch glass baking dish with coconut oil.
Mix together the dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use your fingers to break up any clumps in the almond flour. Then whisk the ingredients together. Set aside.
In a small bowl, add the bananas and mash with a fork. Measure the mashed bananas to make sure they are just over 1 cup. Add more banana if needed or remove some. Then add the remaining ingredients and stir together with the fork.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk together. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool before cutting into bars. Source: www.NourishingMeals.com

THANK YOU!!!!! Finally, someone else has stated that CAROB DOESN'T TASTE LIKE CHOCOLATE!! I LOVE carob and really dislike how it's compared to chocolate or looked at as a chocolate substitute. As I say "It is is like an Elvis impersonator, going around pretending to be something it's not, it's its own kind of herb!"ReplyDelete
I wrote my graduate school ("thesis") monograph on carob, by the way. I really want it to gain its own recognition, especially since, as you said, it's naturally sweet (unlike chocolate). That's one thing I really love about it and want people to "get".
So, THANK YOU!

I often tease about the "almond flour and egg cookbooks" out and about now. It seems like not much can be done in baking without the almond flour + egg combo. These look soooo yummy! Alas, no bananas for me (who's allergic to bananas?!) and no eggs for D. We do use almond flour--it is possible to do things with it without eggs too. It's just that lots of baked almond flour-y things seem to go with eggs.ReplyDelete
Three cheers for these though--they look delicious :-)!
What's the difference between blanched almond flour and 'regular' organic almond flour?ReplyDelete
Lovely recipe, Ali! It's clear I need to stock up on bananas again. :-) They tend to go quickly with my daily smoothies. ;-)ReplyDelete
YUM I love the ingredients in this recipe! I love carob too, it's delicious and doesn't make me feel yicky the way chocolate does. Almond flour rocks my world, too. Thanks for this!ReplyDelete
These look so yummy. I bet flax eggs would work just fine in them as well. And, for Jennifer - I bet you could do a pumpkin version.ReplyDelete
wow carob and bananas, these are a few of my favourite things!ReplyDelete
I was wondering if you were interested in submitting your photos to my new tastespotting-esque photo sharing site:
That looks delicious!! Although I eat pretty healthy, lately I've been trying to incorporate more GF foods in our diet, to work my way up to completely GF. And thank you for providing a recipe that actually calls for carob! I've been having allergic reactions to chocolate and though carob doesn't taste the same, it hits the spot when I'm craving something rich and sweet.ReplyDelete
I'm also curious what can be used to replace eggs in almond flour recipes? I've tried once, with one of my favourite GF almond flour cookie recipe, to replace with flax/water as I normally do in gluten recipes, but it was ridiculously crumbly. Is there a trick?
These look amazing Ali!ReplyDelete
I absolutely love carob, and no, it definitely doesn't taste like chocolate ... but that is part of it's charm. I wish my husband was a carob fan too.
- AnonymousMarch 23, 2011 at 7:27 PM
Can I substitute pecan flour for the almond flour? I have a sensitivity to almonds.ReplyDelete
For those of you who are curious about the difference between blanched almond flour and almond meal/flour....blanched almond flour is like a "flour" - it is light and powdery. The almond flour you can buy in most stores, such as Bob's Red Mill is more like a "meal" not very fine and powdery. While I love almond meal for many recipes, it won't work in recipes calling for blanched almond flour.ReplyDelete
Anon - Pecan flour sounds wonderful! I have never used it so I don't know how it would work here, give it a try, and let us know how it goes.
Enjoy!! -Ali :)
This was an awesome recipe. I was out of carob powder so I did substitute cacao powder and added extra liquid chocolate stevia...it did have a bit of that bitter stevia taste but it's not something that I mind...next time if I use the cacao powder I will try the palm sugar. I LOVE carob so I am looking forward to making these with it next week! I think it would be awesome with pumpkin too!ReplyDelete
This was delicious! Instead of almond flour, I used a combination of sunflower seeds and shelled hemp seeds that I ground in my food proc. I thought the sunflower seeds on their own would be too strongly flavored and the hemp seeds would be too oily. I did this combination with Elana's carrot cake recipe (http://www.elanaspantry.com/carrot-cake/), too, and it worked great. The kids loved it. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I have never had carob before, but will have to try it. I like healthy bars every once and a while, and would love to make some that are healthy and delicious!ReplyDelete
Hi Ali, thanks for sharing this another healthy recipe! Those carob-banana bars look very delicious. :)ReplyDelete
So I just had my few first bites of this recipe... It was very, very good!!! As I was making it, I thought I probably wouldn't go through the hassle again as I ground and blended my own almond flour using a Bosch and Vita-mix... it was a very tedious and messy process. BUT, the cake is amazingly decadent considering the healthy ingredients. I had it baking for about 37 minutes, and the toothpicks came out quite clean. Nonetheless it almost had seemed like it wasn't baked through once I cut into it. Perhaps it is the nature of cooking with almond flour, or the lack of eggs? We used ground up Chia seed as an egg replacer, so the recipe was completely gluten and dairy free. Anyhow... to sum it up, it's so good, and rich tasting that I could see myself going through the trouble of making my own almond flour again. Great job as usual Nourishing Meals. It is far and few between that I try something you guys come up with that isn't a winner. Waiting for the new cookbook with anticipation of more good things to come!ReplyDelete
- Mark
I made these last week and they were a huge hit. I told my husband they were chocolate cake brownies and he LOVED them! And they were so light and airy too. Definitely going in my recipe book.ReplyDelete
I made these with Almond Meal from Trader Joe's and they turned out great! I also used Wilderness Family Naturals organic, raw, extra-virgin coconut oil and carob powder from the co-op. I didn't have a 9x9 pan but used a 7.5x11.5 pan and they were done baking in 23 minutes. I love that these bars are sugar free and gluten free - please share more recipies with stevia and almond flour! Thanks for a delicious, easy recipe!ReplyDelete
I, too, would like to know if you can use flax or chia seeds instead of eggs? Mark said that it worked fine. How much chia seed mixture should be used for each egg? I really want to try this recipe.ReplyDelete
Can't wait for the new book. Keep up the good work
Wow, yum! I am really starting to embrace carob. I love it in smoothies, and yes, it's different than chocolate, but as long as you embrace its carob-y-ness, then I think it's lovely!ReplyDelete
Hmm..I wonder how I could make a variation of this without banana's? I have a banana allergy.ReplyDelete
This recipe sounds amazing. I'm wondering if you know a good substitute for almond flour, I'm allergic to the malic acid in most nuts with the exception of cashews, brazil nuts, pecans and all seeds. Any help you can give would be most appreciated.ReplyDelete
These look so yummy... now you're going to hate me for this, but my husband is deathly allergic TO COCONUT, and it's an hereditary allergy so I can't even keep it in the kitchen now that I'm pregnant. But we can both digest milk well, so I'm wondering if I can substitute unsalted butter for the coconut oil, or possibly another oil like Sunflower? And would that work for any of these yummy desserts?ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone for the feedback!ReplyDelete
Sharon - I have not tried these with flax or chia so not sure. But generally you can try to replace eggs with 2 to 4 tablespoons ground chia whisked with 1/2 cup hot water for 2 large eggs.
Beaglebea - you could try replacing the bananas with unsweetened applesauce.
Shawna - You could replace the almond flour with hazelnut flour but it looks like that nut is out of the question for you. If anyone else has any ideas maybe they can help by leaving a comment.
lippian84 - Sure, you can easily replace the coconut oil with organic unsalted butter in any recipe! :)
- Barbara B.May 9, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Thank you Ali for yet another outstanding recipe! We doubled the recipe and made this in a 9x13 pan and it was absolutely marvellously wonderful! Everyone at our house raved over it.ReplyDelete
We didn't have carob, so used cocoa with the sugar modification you suggested, which tasted just grand and definitely not too sweet. Additionally, since I didn't have any blanched almond flour handy, I whizzed some blanched slivered almonds in the food processor and then again in the coffee grinder and it all worked out super. Our homemade flour wasn't as fine as the purchased, but I liked the little bits of crunchy in the cake. I look forward to baking this recipe again!!!
Your recipes ALWAYS work and I appreciate all the effort you take in developing them. Thank you.
These look really good and I am just waiting for my bananas to ripen a bit so I can make them. As for carob powder, I know there is the roasted and unroasted variety. Which kind do you use? To what degree would it make a difference? I have some BRM carob powder, but since I store it in a glass jar, I can't remember if it's roasted or raw!ReplyDelete
- DesireeNovember 8, 2011 at 12:48 PM
I made these with two changes, and they were so delicious! Since I didn't have blanched almond flour or Stevia, I ground up raw almonds (with the skin) and used 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. My ground almonds does turn out like meal, but I like that chewy "bite."ReplyDelete
This recipe sounds amazing and I would love to try it. Do you think it would work if I substituted half canned pumpkin for the banana and used more stevia?ReplyDelete
Yum! This brings up a question I have: I am about to start the Elimination Diet and have been wondering if carob is allowed.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Erin-Delete
Yes! Carob powder is allowed on the Elimination Diet, however it is a high FODMAP food so if you experience a lot of gas, bloating, tummy cramps, etc. then you might want to limit or avoid carob. FODMAP reactions are dose dependent so a little might be ok.
Join the Conversation!
I'd love to hear your feedback with my recipes. If you make any changes or substitutions then please share what you did so others can learn.
If you have a question about a recipe, please leave it here. I will do my best to answer it when I have time.

Thanks and Happy Cooking! ~Ali :)

I show how I installed a Monte Carlo front clip in a '57 starting on page 30 of my journal. Sweet fit, sweeter ride.
Hey DD
I have a 454 4 bolt block that I'm going to stroke to a 496.
Want to run the old hilborn style injection thats been upgraded.
Hey weirdbeard
Check DD's name (Richard Jhonson) = Doubledick.
I have a 1955 2nd series truck also. Check out my journal to see what I have done. I am always looking for ideas for my truck. So I will put you on my buddy list. By the way I have a friend named Richard Brain.
Yes, it is a shortbed.
There was a '58/59 truck at the recent Rebel Run in Lima, Oh this past weekend with a subframe under the front. Looked like a Camaro or possibly Monte piece? I think the asking price around $7,000, no engine, no transmission, no interior.
Say does a '57 Sedan Delivery count as a truck since Deliveries were advertised in the truck line back then?
Wow.I was beginning to think not many guys bothered with these trucks.Thanks for all the responses.As for the name doubledick The guys at work gave me that name as a form of harassment for being a butt all the time.They have called me that for so long now some of the guys at work don't even remember my real name.58 Apache I pull a trailer with my truck all the time.I used a 68 hidden hitch receiver from brothers trucks so I can hide it behind the plate.The 87 rearend I installed has the big 11 inch drums and uses the wide brake shoes.I run a power-trax locker with 4.56 gears and 31x10.5 tires.My truck is a work truck.I split the leaf spring pack and added a heavy overload leaf on top of the straight overloads and bolted it together with a new bolt.Now if the rear squats more than an inch it is on the overload leaf.The front and rear anti-sway bars and the traction control bars keep the trailer from pushing me around.I run coil-over Edelbrock sensatrack shocks on the back and coil over shocks on the front so it wont ride like a buckboard when it is empty.I do have the front disk conversion from brothers with the vacuum booster and have no problems stopping even when I had 2700lbs of sand in my trailer.Rear disks are nice but there is a reason semi's use drum style brakes.My truck is just a 58 Chevy 3100 but it weighs 6000lbs empty so a heavy trailer is not a problem,I just have to have a balanced trailer with very little tongue weight.You shouldn't have any trouble with a 1 ton suspension stock or modern.Your options are unlimited.A tape measure and a trip to the wrecking yard will help you find what you are looking for.Good hunting my friend.
RJ 57 a sedan delivery is as much a truck as an Elcamino is. My engine is a 78 454 block that is balanced and blueprinted as a 427 with the rectangle port heads and the old tarantula single plane manifold and a edelbrock 750 carb.I don't know the specs on the cam but at idle you can tell it is lumpy Camarofiend73 I like the fleetside box it has more room inside and you can install a roll top bed cover to keep your stuff out of sight so it stays your stuff.A roll pan real finishes of the bed.I threw up a picture of mine so you could see it.Qwantus do you plan to run the stock leafs and traction bars like me or go with a 4 link like Kim 57?Tmeyer I have checked out your board before but it wont let me log in as doubledick so I am not a member yet.Gator412 I will check out your journal when I finish typing this.I haven't figured out how to start a journal yet I am more at home in the shop than in front of this computer.I just figured out(a friend showed me)how to resize pictures and attach them.But I will have a journal eventually.I did post a bunch of pictures on the club website at classicsandrods if you want to check them out.feel free to email me anytime I check my email daily when I am home.I am taking my truck to the Super Run in Henderson tomorrow.I plan to be in the roaring engine contest the slow drags and the burnout contest.It should be allot of fun.I got a 2nd place trophy in the roaring engines contest at the 2004 show.I am taking a set of 31x10.5 tires to burn till they explode.should not be a problem with over 500 ft lbs of torque and 4.56 gears and a power trax locker I put in a line lock on the front disk brakes just for burn out contests
Wills36 that is quite the journal. Gator412 I was checking out your journal and noticed you don't have a sway bar on the front.The one from brothers trucks works great.You just have to make better mounts. the angle iron under oneside of the U-bolt was sad to say the least. I posted some pictures of the ones I made.I made them out of 1/2 inch plate steel and counter sunk the holes both sides with a 3/4 inch drill bit for the lip on the rubber parts to set down into so they stay centered..I also put in shorter bolts and cut down the spacer to level off the sway-bar.I used brother trucks rear sway bar and traction bars too.I made heavy duty front mounts for the traction bars as I broke the one that came with the kit.Mine are made of 1/4 inch plate for the mount welded onto a 3/8 plate steel backing.I also made front shock mounts out of 1/2 plate steel because the coil-over shocks were too much for the stock mounts.I just drilled out the rivets to remove the stock mounts and traced them onto 1/2 inch plate drilled the holes then cut them out with a metal cutting blade and my skill saw.
Actually DD I have front and rear sway bars. Like you said it makes a world of difference on the old trucks. (I might have to make the mounts like yours now!) I have front disk on the straight axle along with the brake booster. I also installed power steering with a tilt column. As soon as I get my new shop finished I will be moving the truck in there for a complete tear down to the frame. I am not going to make a show truck...just make a daily driver out of it. I am thinking about cutting the frame to make a shortbed out of it. I posted the question here. Shorting a 1955 truck frame..should I?
I was hoping for more input, but i guess not many people have done it. I will get with Willys36...he seems to have alot of knowledge in these areas. I also would like to have a gasser look to it so Willys36 seems to be the gasser king..I will ask for his input when the time comes. (Willys has been a great help along with a bunch of other guys to help me with my problems..I love this site. So Willys36..any comments on the frame shorting?)

you picked a great guy to ask. but allow me to butt in.
my truck is a 4x4 now. it was a 2x five years ago. i had to cut 8 inches out of my frame to get it under my 56, which is in my photo album. the way to do it is obviously you need a flat surface. take lots of measurements from key areas, front to back and across diagonally to keep your frame square. then you want to make your marks, use a template i spoze would give you the same distances. pick a part of the frame that is flat and straight. you want to make your cuts at a diagonal, not straight up and down as i did, although i don't think it matters much. then weld it together with some good rod, then some filler rod. grind it flat, then you want a solid steel plate welded over both sides of the frame, inside and out, that covers the whole weld. this is called a fishplate for some reason. i would say put a straight edge as long as you can on the top of your frame before you weld it together. get someone who can weld good if you cant. it was easy. you want to cut enough out so that your wheels are in the centers of your wheel wells front and back. peace out bro
Hey gator
This is just a thought. From what I remember about the frame on my 57 before having the chevelle clip installed was that it's rails were straight in the front. If you want to keep the straight axle why cant you just move it back on your frame and then just cut off the excess from the front? This would save you having to piece together a cut frame. If you want mdern suspension you could do the same thing with a front clip or one of the MII kits. Just a thought.
Did you check the wrecking yard for a short bed frame?We have two in our little yard up here and one has a short box on it.Cant hurt to look.It only takes a tank of gas and a day to look around.I am a yard rat myself I just enjoy looking around.California has been gone over i'm sure but the Yards in Vegas still have a few.All the yard are tied together by computer.Any yard in Cali should be able to check with the Vegas yards on line and Ely is just 250 miles up the road from Vegas.

Hey DD I didn't mean to hijack your thread. I think you are right I will look for an old frame first then do the cutting it I can't find one. But I will have to look at all the options the guys are throwing out here. Worst comes to worst I might have to take a trip to Ely and get one of the ones sitting around your yards. (I love road trips!) Bull I am going to be checking out your journal to see what was involved in a frame cut.

John Bul Dau
Photograph by Becky Hale
John Bul Dau explores territory few can imagine—the depths of inhumanity and the boundaries of endurance. In 1987, at age 13, Dau fled his home in southern Sudan, narrowly escaping troops sent to exterminate all black Christian males. As his village was burned, women raped, children enslaved, and young men shot, Dau began a perilous journey spanning more than 1,000 miles and 14 years.
He joined thousands of boys, now known as the "Lost Boys of Sudan," who were crossing sub-Saharan Africa on foot—pursued by armed soldiers, wild animals, starvation, dehydration, and disease. "We chewed tall grasses and ate mud to stay alive," Dau remembers. "I was barefoot and wearing no clothes; at night the desert was so cold. We thought about our parents all the time."
As one of the older boys, Dau led and cared for younger children. More than half of them died. The survivors found temporary relief in an Ethiopian refugee camp, but when the government was overthrown, they fled across the Gilo River back to Sudan. "Rebels were shooting at us, so we had to dive into water infested with crocodiles," Dau recounts. "Thousands of boys were eaten, drowned, shot, or captured."
Upon learning they had returned, the Sudanese government ordered twice-a-day bombing raids on their refugee camp. "When the bombardment became unbearable we moved south." Many were killed or abducted before reaching a refugee camp in Kenya, where Dau spent the next ten years. "There, at age 17, I started my formal education, writing letters and numbers with sticks in the dirt."
Then, 7,000 miles away, a United States church volunteered to sponsor several Sudanese refugees. A few weeks later, Dau, who had never seen electric lights or flush toilets, landed at the Syracuse, New York, airport. "On my first trip to the supermarket I couldn't believe there was an entire aisle of food for cats and dogs. At home, even people have no food."
The story of his cultural relocation and assimilation is traced in the 2006 Sundance Film Festival award-winning documentary God Grew Tired of Us. "The filming meant giving up my privacy," Dau explains, "but I knew it might spread the word and help my people."
Helping his people has become a focus of Dau's American life, along with working 60 hours a week to cover expenses while taking classes toward a degree in public policy from Syracuse University. "I was helped by so many people," he says, "I want to give something back—not just receive, but give."
Through Dau's initiative, the Sudanese Lost Boys of New York Foundation was established, raising tens of thousands of dollars to cover the academic and medical expenses of Sudanese refugees. Determined for his efforts to directly touch lives in Sudan, Dau created the American Care for Sudan Foundation, which has raised more than U.S. $170,000 to build a clinic in southern Sudan. "Right now, if you get sick in Duk County, you need 20 strong young men to carry you 75 miles to the nearest medical facility," Dau describes. He was recently named director of the Sudan Project at Direct Change, where he is working to raise funds for health and education projects in southern Sudan. (You can help Dau at www.johndaufoundation.org.)
"I feel I survived because God wants to do something with my life," Dau shares. "I don't want to waste any of the time I have left. So many people are still in Sudan needing clinics, schools, and churches. I cannot forget them."
"I think people refuse to try things because they fear failure," he observes. "There have been many impossible situations in my life, but I keep trying. My family in Sudan thought I was dead and I feared they were dead, but 20 years later we were reunited. You can't give up."
Dau carefully watches the tenuous peace declared in Sudan during 2005. "With peace everything is possible, but it must be protected, not just for Sudan but for all peace-loving people in the world. Hope must not be lost. All those miles in the desert, I always said maybe tomorrow will not be like this."

*** Hi Lucy! Sorry for the cross-posting, but I am eager (desperate) for an answer to this one - would be most greatful if you could oblige, and sorry that the question has probably already been asked! ***
Dear all,
My darling HOS has given me another course, and this time it's beginners.
60 hours, 8-10 students, middle aged+, no, or effectively no previous knowledge.
Undoubtedly this question has been asked before… but here it is again:
'What's in a decent course for total beginners?'
The course:
2 hours one evening a week
German native speakers
Possibly some English learnt at school (30+ years ago)
No materials provided
OHP projector, CD player and whiteboard in room only (possible TV and DVD)
Neither students nor school have course books
Small East German town - minimal or no exposure to English in the student's every day life
About me:
I prefer not to work exclusively from a book
I am prepared to dip into one if it suits the matter at hand
Last time I taught beginners I intimated them and 50% fled after the first lesson
What I'm looking for:
A chronological checklist of things to teach
Pitfalls and things to watch out for when teaching them
Ideas for good games/course books/real life materials
List of things to avoid!
If anyone can help me, either on this thread, or per PM/mail, please do so.
Apologies in advance for not checking the forums for similar posts, time does not allow it.
Best regards and happy new year to you all

My 4x4 is a Subaru.
The T-DUB!
Last May, I decided to get my wife a bike to learn to ride on. It was a TTR125L. She did great on it. Recently while in the car chit chatting, she brought up the MSF classes and said something along the lines of, "I should take that course." So, like the excellent husband that I am, the next day I had us both signed up for classes this May. So, in preparation, I sold off her TTR and began scouting a new, street legal bike for her to ride. You might say, Mike, why the rush, she hasn't even taken the class yet? But, ye must remember, it's winter in Michigan, no better time to purchase a motorcycle. So I began scouting, KLR250's, DR200se's, XR250L's, XT225's, and TW200's, which I assumed most would be out of our price range. I wanted to stay near 1,000 dollars for a bike. I don't know how serious she's going to take it, so I didn't want a huge investment. I was pretty seriously considering a DR200se and a KLR250, when I saw an ad on c-list for an 05 TW200 for 1600$. Wow, not a bad price for a newer one. I rarely see them show up and when I do, for that price, it's usually one made before 2000. So I checked the details. 12K miles. Intake valve had been replaced. It had a webcam aftermarket cam (stage 1)and it had a brand new Bridgestone TW204 and tube that came with it. It also has a jimbo sheild and a cyclerack on it. Here are a couple pics the P.O. sent me:
Not too bad. I wanted to check it out. So, I drove 2 1/2 hours to look at it. I walk around the bike. Initially I was a little turned off due to the fact that it looked as though it had never been washed. The swingarm was rusty, I assumed it was due to stones hitting it from the tire, but I now know it's a common problem with the battery vent hose. It needs sprockets pretty badly (He had recently changed the chain, but not the sprockets???). It also had some mismatched or just missing hardware here and there. Oh, and the fork boots were both ripped. I knew from the start that the meter box's tabs had broken off and it was hanging loose, there was a dent in the right side of the tank and the muffler had the spark arrestor removed and welded back up. I wanted to hear it run. The bike had been sitting in a cold barn, so when the P.O. went to put the key in the ignition, it wouldn't turn. There must have been some condensation in the lock cylinder. After a while of looking around, he located some wd40 to dribble into it. Eventually we got the lock turning. Then it wouldn't start and the battery was low. Luckily he had a charger with jump start capabilities. We got it running, so I wanted to take it for a spin down the road. It was reeaaallly cold out. The bike ran great and shifted fine. I got back and we started dealing. I ended up with the bike for 1350, which I thought was fair.
I brought it home and immediately started dis-assembling the bike. I am really anal about cleanliness and this bike was nasty.
I cleaned dirt and mud from every crevice of the frame, and removed what seemed like pounds of greasy dirt from the engine case. I cleaned up the rust on the swing arm and touched it up with some paint, I resprayed the passenger peg brackets, I cleaned up and resprayed the skid plate, cleaned and painted the exhaust, etc. etc. I also removed a bunch of metal mulisha sticker. It was starting to look pretty good. I removed the mismatched hardware and bought new button/allen head bolts in stainless for the passenger pegs and exhaust hangers. I also bought some bolts to hold the seat down since those were missing. I glued the tabs back on the meter box and it's pretty solid now. I also added a set of Tusk handguards and took off the open ended powermadd ones that were on it.
I ordered a bunch of parts the other day, including new sprockets, countershaft oil seals, crankcase gasket, bulbs for the meter box that were burned out, new fork boots, oil, filter, etc.
I also ordered these pegs from ebay since the stock ones are so small:
Tonight, I was bored, waiting for parts to come in, so I used an extra set of reflect rim tape on the TW and I think it turned out pretty cool:
Since she's going to be a new rider, there is nothing wrong with a little extra visibility.
I'll keep you updated with other stuff. I need to have the new tire/tube mounted up on the rim, but I might as well wait until I take it off to change the rear sprocket. Future mods I would like to do include a riccochet skid plate and a Lizrdcooler oil cooler. I like the look of the t-dub, so I don't really forsee any visual or strip down mods in it's future. I am thinking about stopping by the local body shop to see if they could pop the dent out at all.

My 4x4 is a Subaru.
Our group of 12 did fine, however, watching the other group of 12, I saw a 60 year old guy dump his bike twice during the test (who already owned a big trike and I'm thinking was already riding it since he had a helmet with a headset in it) and a lady who couldn't stay in the box if it was 4x as big.

Just read the new regs for Kansas residents. OOS tags, If the state went red, welcome tires are safe.
If the state went Blue, tire slashing limit 4 per vehicle. If you can get to the spare, a bonus 1 tire allowed.
In state tags, WY and DG county no limits, conservation rules apply. You should be ashamed of yourselves!

NSR enters its eleventh year of operation in Australia in 2016 and is currently an affilliated partner with Member Federations across the country including, Football Federation South Australia, Football West, Football Queensland, Northern New South Wales Football and Football Federation Tasmania.
In partnership with Football NSW, NSR will be hosting trials with the view of identifying potential American college soccer prospects that have the ability to play full time soccer. These lucky athletes will have the chance to ply their trade in the extremely professional American College Soccer Leagues whilst studying for the degree of their choice.
As students do not enter the College system until they have completed Year 12, the NSR Australia program is now making a number of places available for student athletes who are currently in high school years 9, 10, 11 and 12. Students who have completed high school may also trial as there are a number of places available for athletes who have only been out of high school for less than one year or students who are in their 1st year of University or TAFE.
As part of the NSR process, players who are successful at trial will be invited to an interview where academic records are discussed and the college system explained. Should a player be successful at interview and invited to be a part of the NSR program, NSR will request a fee which covers the following, but is not limited to:
- Creating a player profile
- Uploading academic and football background
- Creating photographic and video highlights
- Covering the costs incurred by NSR in seeking placement for each player
Prior to attending a trial, we recommend you seek advice from your parents/guardians to see whether this opportunity is something that is right for you.
Finally, please note that Football NSW does not disclose personal details of players with any third party. We are committed to protecting the privacy of individuals of whom it collects personal information pursuant to our privacy policy.

Sometimes my picky Sage will take her foot and tip her bowl over, dumping her food everywhere. Then she eats it. Drives me crazy. Who knows what goes on in their head sometimes!
Sent from Petguide.com App
Ok so he missed his first meal because he didnt go for it in time. Put his bowl down for second meal same thing only as I went to pick it up noticed had found a couple bits outside the bowl he licked up and ate.
Gave him another couple minutes, nothing. Then i scooped up a bit into my hand, he ate it out of my hand. Still not interested in the bowl. I put more in my hand, he ate it. He ended up eating the whole bowl out my my hand.
What does this mean? Mabey a negative association with the bowl?
Its been very weird and confusing.
|Could he sometimes have a bit of a tummy ache from not eating. I have one who has a fast metabolism and if she hasn't eaten since the night before sometimes won't touch her food. Of course that doesn't help. I give her a biscuit right after we get up and before breakfast. That seems to help.
First, I find it hilarious automatic board censors censored he'll. apostrophes, who knew.
Second. Put the good bowl down, leave it for 30 minutes. If he does not eat, pull it up. No treats. Put it back down again at dinner. Give him 30 minutes. If he does not eat, pull it up. No treats. He will realize that he better eat when you put it down, or he gets nothing. Healthy dogs won't starve themselves.
Don't keep switching food, don't keep adding goodies, don't cajole him in to eating. Makes problems worse.

Does this sound like a picky eater?
So my dog ghost (15 months) is kind of a weird eater
His original owner (I've had him for 1 month, but have known his for his whole life) was feeding him purina puppy chow. They also left his food out all the time for him to choose when to eat.
I slowly switched him to taste of the wild. At first he ate it right up, but recently wont touch it, with some exceptions.
Some day just giving him a treat first will make him hungry and **** eat.
Some days I have to break the treats up into tiny bits and mix into the kibble then **** eat it, but sometimes it doesn't work.
Today he wouldn't touch it, so i gave him a handful of leftover purina. He ate it right up. Then a handful of taste of the wild, he ate it up. So i put his bowl back in front of his face. Ate the whole thing and licked the sides.
I usually leave his food out if he wont eat, because he will sometimes only eat when he is alone. His old owner said ghost would only ever eat when no one was around, but sometimes this trick doesn't work.
Im thinking about either switching foods, mixing in some wet food, or trying toppers?
What do you guys think? Should I just tough it out and let him learn to eat what he has?
Also hes very skinny from not eating so much so im worried trying to only put food out and then taking it away if he doesn't eat after 15 minutes will cause more weight loss.
Thanks for reading this long winded post and for answering the questions. I really appreciate it guys and gals.

Hello to all you BH costumers. I have been a 501st member for a little over a year. I joined with an Anakin EIII costume and am now finding myself preparing for my second costume. I have been reading on the forums for some time now. I have been debating on what to make next and recently made a decision to go for Jango. So, I figured I would go ahead and get started.
So, my first piece of my Jango costume was the gloves. I got these from Target as many of you have. I think they are the same price at all Targets at $17.99. After I got them home I cut off the buckle and took out the inner liner. They are not completely done as I am thinking about putting some elastic around the wrist. Here are some pics of the gloves:
I also landed a pair of hiking shoes made by Prada off ebay that just happen to have the accurate soles. I only spent $24.99! My plan is to modify them to be more like a pair of military boots. I want them to be lace and zipper boots. Here is a picture of the shoes and a picture of a military boot to give you an idea of how I'll be modding the shoes:
So, I'm just getting started and will be getting more as I can afford it. It might be slow progress but I want to keep track of it here. I am always open for advice and constructive criticism. A smart man learns from his mistakes, but a wise man learns from the mistakes of others. (or something like that )
Thanks, Mike
