After the Octavia RS, which enjoys great popularity among customers already, Skoda is presenting at this year's Geneva Motor Show (4th-14. March) the Fabia model which is now also in the RS version. Two versions of the Fabia RS series – Sedan and Combi – go to the start.
I'm impressed by their sporty compacts not only by their appearance. For the first time is a four-cylinder gasoline engine is used, which provides for a mere 1.4 liters of displacement impressive 180 hp. The 1.4 TSI is working with direct fuel injection and dual charging. The combination of supercharger and turbocharger enables an exceptionally smooth power delivery. Also, the performance can certainly be proud of: The Fabia RS has a top speed of 224 km/h (combi 226 km/h). The sprint from zero to 100 kph accomplish on both variants in only 7.3 seconds. Despite these benefits, the combined fuel consumption is only 6.4 liters per 100 kilometers.
Externally, falling in both versions, the front bumper with integrated fog lights in the eye, which can be optionally equipped with cornering light function. Instead of the fog lights are optional daytime running lights based on LED technology available. Tinted glass and specially designed for the Fabia RS 17-inch aluminum wheels in design Gigaro including red-painted brake calipers indicate the special position of the Fabia RS models in the product portfolio.

Waiting on Wednesday: House of Secrets
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted over at Breaking the Spine, looking at upcoming books we bloggers are already obsessing about. This week, I'm eagerly anticipating House of Secrets by Chris Colombus and Ned Vizzini.
Already being pushed hard in the bookselling and publishing world, this new YA Fantasy/Adventure series has garnered praise from J K Rowling. I was lucky enough to be gifted an ARC of this from work (In a very sexy embossed box, no less!) and I can't wait to see if the hype's deserved. House of Secrets is due to be released in April.
"The Walker kids had it all: loving parents, a big house in San Francisco, all the latest video games . . . but everything changed when their father lost his job as a result of an inexplicable transgression. Now the family is moving into Kristoff House, a mysterious place built nearly a century earlier by Denver Kristoff, a troubled writer with a penchant for the occult.
Suddenly the siblings find themselves launched on an epic journey into a mash-up world born of Kristoff's dangerous imagination, to retrieve a dark book of untold power, uncover the Walker family's secret history and save their parents . . . and maybe even the world."
(Synopsis taken from Goodreads)

Senior Marketing Information Specialist
November 2017 - Current
I currently work at a local Dallas Community College in a senior marketing role. I am responsible for performing Project Management for the Marketing and Creative Sevices Department; providing a wide range of internal and external services related to the department and the campus/location.
Marketing Manager
May 2017 - October 2017
I was the only person in the marketing department at 32 Degree Audio, an A/V Tech company in Richardson, Texas. Strategy, creativity and inbound data analytics was the majority of my duties.

The Obama administration gets high praise for its decision to uphold a ban on the importation of polar bear trophies from Canada killed by US hunters. For twenty years such importation had been illegal until the Bush Administration reversed the law in 1994 resulting in the killing of almost 1,000 polar bears since then. It is already illegal for American hunters to engage in this practice in their own country.
For a number of years, alongside many other concerned groups and individuals, we have been working behind the scenes to provide information to counter the outright lies provided by the Canadian Government to continue with the recreational killing of these beautiful animals who are already at risk from global warming.
A copy of our letters can be found here. Also included are very graphic and disturbing photographs that were sent to us by a group of American hunters who had killed a polar bear in northern Canada. We hoped to send a grim and emphatic message to US lawmakers about the nature of such trophy hunts and the kind of people who participate in them.
In December of last year, the 27 member nation European Union also banned the import of polar bear trophies from two areas of Canada, namely the Kane Basin and Baffin Bay areas, between Nunavut and Greenland. We will redouble our efforts to call for a total import ban. Most of the recreational killing of these animals is by American and European hunters.
With habitats shrinking due to global warming, polar bears have a tough enough life already, and since Canada is home to two thirds of the world's polar bears, we have a tremendous responsibility to protect them. In my opinion, I can think of no better way than to prevent their slaughter by dysfunctional people who set out to kill an animal that is more magnificent than they could ever be.
At a private meeting organized by the Canadian Government in Winnipeg (to which animal protection organizations and the media were not invited) the results were not encouraging – no meaningful action plan to protect polar bears from recreational killing or climate change – which does not surprise me: At every turn, the Canadian Government works tirelessly to ensure that polar bears are not listed as endangered under either Canadian or international law.
We will continue with our ongoing programs to protect polar bears, and when it comes to fighting cruelty we don't give up. Ever.In my opinion, the Canadian Government plays an active and relentless role in moving these magnificent animals ever closer to the brink of extinction. When someone destroys a work of man, we call him a vandal. When someone destroys a work of God and nature, we call him a sportsman.

Best Songs from Ninja Sex Party's Strawberries and Cream AlbumThis is the ranking of the second NSP album. It is extremely similar to the first, but that isn't a bad thing when dealing with this group.
The Top Ten Best Songs from Ninja Sex Party's Strawberries and Cream Album
The lyrics in this song are genius. I love the constant wordplay that occurs in the song, and the song is great musically as well. The use of acronyms makes for an extremely clever, yet still funny piece of music - kempokid
Another one of the NSP songs that basically everyone hears of when first listening to the band. The lyrics go from hilarious to wonderfully surreal at the drop of a hat, and its amazing to Dan singing about being amazing when its clearly Ninja Brian doing all the work - kempokid
This is the song I feel closest copies the ridiculous nature of Objects Of Desire, they both share similarities as both songs include Dan disgusting people with his actions. This one is less ridiculous, but still keeps its amazing sense of comedy. - kempokid
The amount of power put into every note in this song is the main reason why I love it so much. The other reason is the way it misleads you at the start by making you think the song is going to be one gigantic innuendo. When the song reaches halfway, you realise the disturbing nature of Dan's feelings towards the sandwich and then start laughing at what is easily the greatest moment of the album. - kempokid
A fun upbeat song about Ninja Brian murdering all of Dan's friends and not listening to him. A conceptually great song that is very upbeat and cheerful, adding juxtaposition to a song that is about all of Dan's friends being killed - kempokid
Sometimes being repetitive is a great thing, as it can get a point through very easily. This is the case here as we learn how everyone apparently has to stop doing everything every time Dan gets an erection, which according to the song happens 87 times a day - kempokid
The musical style of the song is very different to the rest of the album, in this song Dan is rapping (I guess? ) in a near whisper. This makes the chorus section of the song even more amazing when it goes back to the full energy of NSP. The song's title also makes me think of Flight of the Conchords with their song " Hiphopapotamus vs Rhymenocerous. - kempokid
The sheer badassery of this song is why it love it despite the jokes which are few and far between. If you changed the lyrics, the song sounds like it could come right out of a fantasy movie. - kempokid
The only mediocre song on the album. The musical style simply doesn't work for me at all. The premise for the song is something I can get behind however. - kempokid
A 15 second song that I won't say what the joke is. All I will say is that it made me uncontrollably laugh the first time I heard it. - kempokid

Over the next few weeks I hope to be able to enthuse you into getting started on growing some of your own vegetables and salads next summer...
Over the next few weeks I hope to be able to enthuse you into getting started on growing some of your own vegetables and salads next summer. Because I am writing for a wide variety of climates – some of the things I write about will not be relevant to your part of the world, but by and large gardening common sense is pretty general, so I hope what follows will be interesting & useful.
If you are keen to grow some of your own vegetables, fruit and salads – now's the time to start thinking and planning.
Firstly, think what you, or you and your family like to eat – don't just accept a generalised list of things you should grow – should is not a helpful word!
Try not to get carried away and buy endless packs of seeds, garden gadgets and packs of compost, (I used to love seed catalogues & I'd spend more on seeds than I would ever grow, given the time and space that I had at my disposal) but just pick a few things that you would really like to grow and start small.
There are annual plants and perennial ones and the important difference between them is annuals, as you would think, grow quickly, flower, set seed and die off.
Perennials are the longer lived plants and shrubs, which will give you many seasons of harvest.
It's quite a good idea to give a thought to these perennials first – just because they will be around for longer and you might as well get them going soon.
Starting small, let's think of the herbs that last for several seasons.
Sages, various mints, curry leaves if you like them,chives, sweet bay, rosemary and lavender. All of these can be bought as small plants and established in modest pots to be potted up (or into the garden) as the seasons pass and used to bring out the flavors in your food and to decorate your yard.
Check with friends, the local garden shops, on the internet, what are the best growing conditions for the plants you want – and, what are the best plants for your growing conditions!
Next and the backbone of your growing plan, are the many types of fruit trees and bushes suitable for growing in a domestic garden – some very suitable for growing in pots if that's your gardening style.
Apples, plums, pears, currents, berries, the list is endless – but again, only buy what you and your family want to eat – a tree that is growing fruit you don't really like is taking up space to no purpose.
Buy only two or three bushes or trees to start with (unless, of course, you are blessed with lots of space and a willing partner!) now or in the early spring, and you will be on your way to enjoying one of life's great pleasures – the taste of food fresh from your own earth.
Next time, I'll write about tools, equipment and containers.
As always,
Happy horticulture

I need to follow up on my letter to the editor that was published Aug. 24. The care bill is HR3200 and not HB3200.
I also want to make another correction. The members of Congress are not exempt as I had mentioned in my letter but will be expected to get insurance the same as everyone else starting January 2014.
I have also found that you may go to the following on your computer: Thomas.LOC.gov and click on "bill status and summary" and then click on CRS. This will take you to lots of information. Thomas is the Library of Congress director.
You may also go to fastcheck.org/tag/affordable-care-act for more information.
I apologize for my errors and hope the above information will help you. I hope also you like to read. It is endless.

It was built and is owned and operated by a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, with 421 turbines capable of generating enough electricity to power more than 220,600 homes.
Capacity – 750MW
In terms of sheer size, Fowler Ridge is one of the largest wind farms in the world, spanning some 50,000 acres and supplying enough power for 200,000 homes. The plant is owned and operated jointly by BP Alternative Energy North America and Dominion Resources, each with a 50 percent stake.
Capacity – 781.5MW
Once the world's largest onshore windfarm, Roscoe is another fine example of Texas leading the way in this sector. The Roscoe Wind Farm comprises more than 620 turbines spread across 100,000 acres, capable of producing enough electricity to power 265,000 homes. Operational since 2009, the project cost around $1 billion to complete.
Capacity – 845MW
Shepherds Flat opened in 2012 and is a $2 billion project backed by Google. Contirbuting a sizeable chunk of Oregon's renewable energy, it is predicted that the site generates $37 million in annual impact from the electricity it produces. The three wind farms deploy 338 wind turbines across 32,100 acres to generate 845 megawatts of clean energy – enough to power 227,000 homes.
Capacity – 1,064MW
India is one of the leading providers of onshore wind, with Jaisalmer Wind Park one of the country's most important sites, generating more than 1,000MW of power. It comprises of a cluster of wind farm sites within Jaisalmer including Amarsagar Badabaug, Tejuva and Soda Moda among others. The wind park houses projects of various companies including Mytrah Energy, Hindustan Zinc Limited, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, Rajasthan State Mines & Mineral Limited, Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Limited and Rajasthan Gums Limited.
Capacity – 1,500MW
Muppandal is a small village on the southern tip of India in Kanyakumari District, in the state of Tamil Nadu. Though a small village, it is home to a series of massive sites containing turbines which produce 1,500MW of electricity for the region. The Indian government plans to massively expand its wind power programme to include village communities, where a large proportion of the country's 1.25 billion people still live.
Capacity – 1,548MW
The Alta Wind Energy Center is USA's largest wind facility and second largest onshore site in the world. It is located in the wind resource area at the Tehachapi Pass in Kern County and windfarm supplies 1,548 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy to Southern California Edison (SCE) customers. It will continue through to 2040 under a 3,000 MW wind power development initiative, producing enough electricity to power 450,000 homes.
Capacity – 6,000MW
In 2012, Gansu's capacity surpassed the total wind-generated-electricity produced by all of the United Kingdom, and it's just the largest of six mega-wind farms currently under construction throughout China. The project will produce a massive 20,000MW of power by 2020 and will cost nearly $20 billion to build. Turbines are going up at an astronomical rate of 35 per day across the three areas that make up the power base. Developers on the project include Huaneng and Datang.

An Interview with
Barbara Walsh
by Nancy Rosati
Tony nominee Barbara Walsh will be giving her first formal concert at the Lucille Lortel Theatre on Monday, December 2nd (see our free ticket contest). I spoke with her recently about her career and this upcoming event
Nancy Rosati: Barbara, where did you grow up?
Barbara Walsh: In Chevy Chase, Maryland, outside of DC. I did shows in high school and then went on to the drama and music program in college. I like to say my grad work was three years in dinner theatre. (laughs) Then I went right into summer stock in Warsaw, Indiana. Faith Prince and I worked in a place called Wagon Wheel, even cleaning out the men's urinals at strike after one of the shows.
NR: Ah, the glamour of showbiz ...
BW: Yeah, we paid our dues. I did a number of shows and got my union card at the Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre in Illinois. Then I moved to New York in the fall of 1980. My first job was the national tour of Oklahoma!. I played "Girl #3."
Yes ... (teasing) I was thrown into the chorus, much to my chagrin, even though I had played leading roles. After being the big fish in a little pond, my world was turned upside down. (serious again) But I had a tremendous experience in seeing the country for the first time and making lots of money - and also spending it, unfortunately. I had a great time. It was a wonderful experience.
NR: I remember seeing Oklahoma! on Broadway with Christine Andreas right around that time. Was this the same production?
BW: Yes. It was the first national tour from that production.
NR: Did you always want to be an actress?
BW: I always sang. I grew up in a very big house. I have seven siblings, so the cacophony was always present in our household. I would sing and harmonize with my three sisters. We sang as Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins and all the girls from the 70s. I took piano lessons. There was always music of some sort around the house.
I was very shy, but in high school I came out of my shell when I discovered I could mimic all of my classmates. I could copy their walks and their mannerisms and I said, "Ok, I know how to get a laugh. All right - I like this!" That extended into doing musicals and comic roles in college. In dinner theater, I did very different roles like Fiona in Brigadoon and Winifred in Once Upon a Mattress. I did Aldonza in Man of La Mancha and then Bonnie in Anything Goes. It was a great variety. I could really use my muscles as a very green, raw actress. It was like a playground.
NR: And then you discovered you weren't right yet for any of those roles in the "real world"?
BW: Well, you're young, and people are telling you that you can do anything. Boy, can things change! I think my first break was Forbidden Broadway. It was '86, '87. I did Streisand one of the first Streisand routines he wrote "Somewhere there's a show for me." I had a great time for about a year and a half doing that. While I was doing Forbidden Broadway, I had an interview with Enid Nemy (of the New York Times) and I also had a Hirschfeld.
NR: Did you find Forbidden Broadway to be very challenging?
BW: Oh, no. It was fun. We just laughed and carried on in a very small dressing room. Since I'm good with mimicry, I had a terrific time doing Streisand - and Julie Andrews, Bernadette Peters, Mary Martin and Ethel Merman. It was FUN.
Then I did some other Off Broadway work. I did Birds of Paradise with Arthur Laurents as director. It closed after about three weeks, but we had such a good time.
NR: What was your first Broadway show?
BW: While I was doing Forbidden Broadway I went to a cattle call for Nine and they kept calling me back. I was actually seen for Nine nine times, if you can believe it. In the years that it ran on Broadway, people kept leaving and they knew that they wanted me somewhere, but it took them nine times. I finally took over Kim Criswell's part. I played Francesca and sang "Some Italian." I wore a beautiful costume and a fabulous wig.
When it closed on Broadway, I did it on the road for five months and had a wonderful time ... wait, I'm wrong. Nine was not my first Broadway show ... Rock n Roll: the First 5,000 Years was!
NR: That was a short run, wasn't it?
BW: We call it Rock n Roll: the Last Two Weeks. I did an impression of Joan Baez and Grace Slick in that. That was 1982, before Forbidden Broadway.
Then after Nine, the next thing was Falsettos.
NR: ... for which you got a Tony nomination. What was that like?
BW: It was huge! It was amazing. I first did the role at Hartford Stage with Graciela Daniele and a whole other cast. That production was supposed to go to Lincoln Center but it didn't work out because of a scheduling snafu. I was devastated. Then they said, "James Lapine is going to direct it on Broadway and the Weisslers are going to produce it." I assumed they would use Alison Fraser or Faith Prince, who had played the role Off Broadway, but I surprisingly got a call from Fran Weissler saying, "Would you like to be in our show?"
I was incredibly fortunate that I had the experience of Hartford Stage and that I got to do it on Broadway with the original cast, the Off Broadway guys that Bill Finn wrote it for: Steve Bogardus, Chip Zien and Michael Rupert. It was enormous. I was wonderfully supported by James Lapine. He let me do my thing. He was very encouraging and he had respect for me and trusted that I knew what I was doing. It was a true high point and a very magical time for me. It was wonderful being nominated.
NR: How do you come down after something like that?
BW: Well, yeah ... it's just an award. It's a tool for careers but afterwards you've got to keep living, and do your laundry and take the dog out. You look for work and you have to call your agent and all those things continue. That's what I learned from it.
After Falsettos I went directly into Blood Brothers, which was a completely different experience for personal and professional reasons. My father was dying at the time. I took Blood Brothers because the character (Mrs. Lyons) was such a different kind of mother. It was dramatic. I didn't have a lot of singing; it was mostly dialogue. After a year and a half of playing Trina in Falsettos, I wanted to do something different. It was an interesting time, fantastic in so many ways. The cast was amazing . I felt very fortunate to continue working but I had lost my dad, literally, between productions. The shows were back to back. There was this week where I went home to bury my dad and then I had to come back to open a Broadway show ... there was no down time, so I asked to get out of my contract after six months, which they allowed me to do. They were wonderful about it.
Then, after Blood Brothers was Big. That was originally going up in the summer of '95 but it was postponed seven months. I auditioned for summer stock up in the Berkshires at Barrington Stage and I got it. I had never been in the Berkshires. It wasn't a lot of money but my good friend Heather Mac Rae had accepted it so I thought, "Why not? Let's do it. We'll have a nice summer." It was a little revue and on that show, I met my husband, Jack Cummings. He was the assistant director, and he and I connected. We were engaged four months later.
A little bit after that, rehearsals for Big started and I went to Detroit. Then I came back to New York and did Big on Broadway. We opened it and we planned our wedding for the six month mark, which would be the vacation time so we could have a honeymoon. I bought an apartment right before we got married and things were really great. It had its problems but I had a fabulous song. It was a lovely company and a lovely creative team. It was wonderful in many ways. The role wasn't so large, so I had time to plan my wedding and buy my apartment.
NR: Did it close before you got married?
BW: A week before we got married.
NR: Ouch. I guess you had plenty of time for a honeymoon!
BW: Yes, time for a honeymoon, and then we settled into our amazing life together. I went out to L.A. for a pilot season which didn't go so well. I did some regional theater here and there, some great roles Rosabella in Most Happy Fella, Blanche Du Bois in Streetcar with my husband, which was an amazing experience. The next large role I did was in '99 Mother in Ragtime in Chicago. Everything about that role was so wonderful. I did some other regional roles but now it seems to be about readings and workshops.
NR: You were in The Rhythm Club at the Signature Theater ... I know everybody asks this, but is that show going anywhere?
BW: I don't know what's going on with it. I hear rumblings that it's reemerging at some point. I don't believe anything until I have it on the dotted line. It's a quixotic and random business that we deal with day in and day out. We'll see what happens.
NR: Jack has directed you in a few things and will again in the upcoming Requiem for William. Is it difficult being directed by your husband?
BW: I adore being directed by my husband. We come from the same sensibility, though we have different experiences. He's 12 years younger but we're headed down the same path artistically, there's no question about it. We speak the same dialogue. It doesn't mean we don't fight. We'll butt heads on certain things artistically but I have an enormous belief and respect for him, as he does for me. It's kind of amazing what we have, actually. There's a different dynamic because we're married, but we remove ourselves from that relationship and go into "business mode." It's more beneficial for everybody and I love it. He's one of my favorite directors.
NR: Let's talk about your concert.
BW: I'm really excited about it. I haven't done a show of my own in New York City since the 80s, when I did a some original material in a cabaret kind of a format. I don't want to go that route again, hence the concert title for the evening. Also, the fact that it's in a theater makes it more theatrical and classes it up a bit.
NR: What kind of musical accompaniment are you using?
BW: I have violin, a fabulous bass player who can also double as cello, and the unbelievable Mary-Mitchell Campbell, my musical director and pianist, who is one of a kind. She's a dear friend of ours. I will always have her play for me.
NR: What type of music are you singing?
BW: It's very eclectic. There are songs that will be familiar to people and songs they've never heard of. There aren't a lot of theatre songs, but some will be in there. There will be some Paul McCartney that everybody knows, some Joni Mitchell, and some original stuff that I don't want to talk about. (laughs) I'm looking forward to it, especially because it's in that theater. I did a benefit for the Drama Dept. at the Lucille Lortel, and I just loved it.
NR: This is very different from being in a show ...
BW: Yeah, it is. The idea came up about 7 or 8 months ago.
It's sort of a labor
of love. The concert is a benefit for Jack's theatre company. He and
Robyn Hussa are co-founders of Transport Group. They're in their first
year of production and they're in an embryonic stage of development. They
have a very specific voice of artistry very unique. I believe in what
they do so deeply and I know it's just a matter of time before people get
wind of it and experience their work. I'm actually surprised that I didn't think of it sooner. We made
plans to put it together and it's been really exciting to work on it.
What is the name of the song that Barbara sang in Big that was cut during the Detroit tryout prior to the Broadway opening?
Email your answer to email@example.com. Winner will be announced on November 27.

Healthy Thymes Market may have been there for 25 years, but I just discovered it on Saturday. What a treasure trove of health foods, supplements, and expert health advice all tucked away in the little town of Vernon in the Highlands of northern New Jersey! It may look small from the outside, but Healthy Thymes Market has managed to fill every inch with things you can't find in your local grocery or drugstore, including refrigerated and frozen items. When we were there a Kombucha Demonstration was also going on, so we had a chance to sample Aqua ViTea elderberry kombucha… crisp and fizzy!
Besides all that, there is also a snackbar, The Kitchen, where you can order breakfast until noon Monday thru Friday and lunch/dinner all day any day. We decided to get our lunch at The Kitchen the day we stopped in. All items on the menu are vegetarian and can be made vegan if desired. I chose the Sweet Potato Quesadilla which consisted of a whole wheat wrap (gluten-free is available) stuffed with organic mashed sweet potato, saluted onions, spinach, and vegan mozzarella cheese (dairy cheese is an option). This was an unusual combination for a quesadilla, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was very delicious, and the cheese melted perfectly. The price, only $6.99! My husband ordered the Falafel Wrap, also $6.99: organic store-made vegan chickpea patties served with romaine lettuce, onion, tomato and tahini dressing served on a whole wheat wrap (gluten-free available). He said that it was good, but he would have liked more dressing on his. We both got cold bottled drinks with no high fructose corn syrup from the refrigerator case; strawberry lemonade for him and watermelon lemonade for me. The one downside, there is no place to sit and eat once you have purchased your meal at The Kitchen. Fortunately there were some benches by a pond across the street, and the weather was lovely for eating outdoors, so we enjoyed our healthy lunch in the sunshine.
We will certainly go back to Healthy Thymes despite the fact that it is a bit of a drive for us. I hope they add seating for The Kitchen soon. Even so, for health food shopping or a yummy and healthy takeout meal, it's worth the trip.
Hours are: M-F 8 am – 7 pm; Sat.-Sun. 9:30 am – 5 pm
Turmeric, and its active component curcumin, has been used for thousands of years in India, and recent research confirms that its anti-inflammatory properties can be helpful in the treatment of many conditions. Turmeric also gives food a warm golden color.
Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable. Cruciferous vegetables belong to the Brassica genus and include: arugula, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels spouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard greens, horseradish, kale, radishes, rutabaga, turnips, watercress, and wasabi. These plant powerhouses contain potent antioxidants which may reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases. Their anti-viral, anti-bacterial effects have been shown to fight illness and inhibit tumor growth.
This simple recipe incorporates both of these natural disease fighters. Tart and tangy, serve it cold as a salad topper or as a colorful addition to a relish tray.
1 large head cauliflower
1 cup white vinegar
1 1/2 cups warm water
3 TBS. Sugar (cuts the acid)
2 TBS. Kosher salt
2 tsp. ground turmeric
1 dry bay leaf
1 Mason jar
Disinfect Mason jar before beginning by placing it in a pot of boiling water for 30 seconds.
Cut cauliflower into small florets that are evenly sized. Place florets into Mason jar and set aside.
In a small pot, add turmeric, bay leaf, salt, and sugar. Once dry ingredients are combined, add water and vinegar, creating a brine.
Bring your brine to a boil over high heat. Boil for 2 minutes.
Pour boiling brine into your Mason jar to cover cauliflower.
Seal and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.

Chen Vegetarian House is an all vegetarian Asian restaurant with a full menu of vegetarian dishes to choose from…just what the health-minded people of Berks County have been waiting for! Tonight was our first visit there and I was impressed. We will be going back! Although this is a small establishment, probably more geared to take-out than dining-in, our experience was entirely enjoyable.
We entered the newly remodeled restaurant (next to Haute Chocolat) and were promptly seated at one of the two tables by the window. Several other tables were available near the take-out counter. Our server answered all our questions and explained the menu (Yes, EVERYTHING on the menu is vegetarian — even the chicken, the beef, the pork, and the seafood). They do not use MSG in any of their food. We talked and drank green tea until our dinners arrived. The spring rolls were piping hot and very fresh (not frozen and reheated). My Pad Thai was delicious, seasoned perfectly with not too much "chicken" and lots of crunchy bean sprouts. My husband ordered General Tso's "Chicken" (his favorite) and we were both impressed by the quantity and presentation. Our meals were delicious and the service was efficient and courteous.
Chen Vegetarian House also features something other Asian restaurants don't offer — fresh vegetable and fruit juices (3.99) and fruit smoothies (4.29). Hallelujah!
The menu states that lunches including white or brown rice, hot & sour soup or spring roll, and entrée are only $5.99. To save time you can pre-order online and pick up at the counter. Business hours are Mon. – Thurs.: 11 am – 10 pm, Fri. and Sat.: 11 am – 10:30 pm, and Sun.: 12 pm – 9:30 pm. Visa, Mastercard, and Discover are accepted. Now until 1/31/2014 is their Grand Opening and you get 10% off a minimum $20 order!
If you want a healthy and delicious meal for not a lot of money, then I would highly recommend Chen Vegetarian House.
A word to the wise: If you're trying to change your family's eating habits to a healthier vegetarian diet, please don't serve them a green smoothie or a blended salad to start out. Unfamiliar and unrecognizable food like that will only shock them into resistance. Give your family something they are used to, something they can identify and already enjoy eating — but make it healthier, lower in fat and calories, with no animal ingredients. This is a delicious recipe even a carnivore can enjoy. It may become one of your family's favorites!
1 chopped onion
1 clove minced garlic
1 lb. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
8 oz, sliced mushrooms, rinse well and drain
12 – 15 lasagna noodles
1 container (12.3 oz) Mori-Nu silken tofu, drained and mashed with a fork
¼ c. vegan parmesan topping, plus another 1/2 c. reserved for top
1 Tbs. parsley flakes
1 tsp. oregano
1 ½ tsp sea salt
12 oz. shredded vegan mozzarella (Soya Kaas or Daiya are good brands)
1 ½ qt. any good meatless spaghetti sauce (reserve 1 c.)
— Cook noodles according to package directions.
–Saute onions, garlic and mushrooms in 1 Tbs. olive oil. Add thawed, drained spinach and toss together.
–In a large bowl combine: tofu, ¼ cup veggie parmesan and spices. Add sautéed vegetables and mix together with a fork.
–In an ungreased oblong casserole layer:
A thin layer of sauce
¼ noodles
¼ sauce
¼ tofu mixture
¼ vegan mozzarella
Repeat this process three times.
–Spread reserved 1 cup sauce over top layer of noodles. Sprinkle with ½ cup vegan parmesan topping. (At this point lasagna can be covered and refrigerated for several hours.)
–Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes (allow additional 10 – 15 minutes if lasagna has been refrigerated.)
For easier cutting, let stand for 15 minutes after removing from oven.
We made these raw crackers in this week's Cooking for Health Class, and they are delicious! Serve them with a dip, hummus, or eat them plain. You will enjoy the pizza flavor which can be enhanced by adding garlic or red pepper flakes if you like your pizza spicy. The recipe makes two full trays of crackers. The photo shows how many crackers you will get from one recipe (of course that depends on how big you make them, too). Easy to make ahead so take some to the next party — enough for yourself and to share!
2 cups ground flaxseed
2/3 cup whole flaxseed
2 large skinned plum tomatoes
2 Tbs. Italian Seasoning
1 tsp. pink Himalayan salt
2 Tbs. nutritional yeast
1 1/3 cups whole raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup sesame seeds
2 cups water (add up to 1/2 cup more, a little at a time, if needed)
Optional additions: garlic powder, red pepper flakes, onion powder, chopped fresh basil
Nothing needs to be soaked. Simply mix all ingredients in a large bowl and stir well.
Spread 1/2 batter on each of two dehydrator trays covered with teflex sheets or parchment paper. Use the back of a spoon to spread batter evenly about 1/4 inch, thick keeping batter as square as possible. (If you have a round dehydrator you could drop batter by spoon and spread into individual rounds).
Dehydrate at 115 degrees for about 2 hours. They should be starting to harden. At this point, take a sharp knife and score the crackers (don't cut all the way through) into squares or triangles as big as you want them to be. (If you score the crackers now they will be easier to break apart when finished).
Lower temperature and dehydrate at 105 degrees for 6 – 8 hours, until crackers are firm enough to move (go to work, go to school, go to bed). Remove teflex sheet (some of the crackers may separate along scored lines…that's okay), and continue to dehydrate at 105 degrees on mesh dehydrator tray until crackers are completely dry and crisp.
Separate crackers along scored lines.
These can be stored in an air-tight jar in your pantry for weeks…but they won't last that long!
What is the perfect dinner for a cold winter evening? A steaming bowl of heart healthy chili! This recipe will provide mega protein and fiber with very little fat and calories. It's a very simple recipe made with common ingredients, and is delicious with or without the optional ingredients. As a bonus, you can also throw everything in your crockpot and let it cook on LOW all day. Dinner will be ready when you return home!
1 large onion, chopped and sautéed in 1 Tbsp oil (if you have the time)
1 large can tomato sauce
1 large can kidney beans
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
Optional Ingredients (use any or all as desired):
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. sweetener
1 Tbsp. vinegar
1 – 3 cloves minced garlic
1 chopped red bell pepper
a little cayenne pepper or Tabasco Sauce (to warm you from the inside out!)
Cover and simmer all ingredients for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 1 pkg. Morning Star Farms (frozen meat substitute) Crumbles, and cook for an additional 15 minutes to heat crumbles. Remove from heat and enjoy with salad and warm cornbread. Mmmm-m-m-m! This chili tastes even better the second day, so look forward to any leftovers 🙂
In a perfect world I would wake up early each morning to make a hot breakfast for my family before sending them out into the cold, but in reality I am NOT a morning person. When I saw this recipe in Vegetarian Times magazine I knew it was created for people just like me and simply had to share it. It can all be assembled the night before and requires NO COOKING, yea! The spicy chai flavor is wonderful, too.
1 cup steel-cut oats
1 cup hemp milk (I used almond milk)
2 Tbs. chia seeds
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground ginger, OR 1 Tbs. crystallized ginger (I used)
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 Tbs. maple syrup, optional (I used)
1 Tbs. shredded coconut, optional (I omitted)
1 Tbs. chopped pistachios, optional (I omitted)
Combine oats, "milk," chia seeds, cardamom, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, and maple syrup in a glass jar with a lid. Stir, close, and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning just open lid, stir, and serve sprinkled with coconut and pistachios if using. I served it with sliced bananas and a little added almond milk instead, and it was delicious! If you desire you may warm it slighty before serving.
Makes 2 one cup servings at 270 calories each.

It's almost Christmas, and you still want to make some cookies — but they have to be vegan…and healthy…but still taste great. Hmm, this recipe can meet all those requirements and your friends will ask for the recipe. You can feel good about serving these raw cookies, and you won't spend all day in the kitchen either; quick, easy, and delicious!
1 cup almond meal
1 cup rolled oats
2 cups dried cranberries*
5 pitted dates
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp. almond flavoring (or 1/4 tsp amaretto oil candy flavoring)
Soak dates and cranberries in distilled water (just enough to cover) for 2 hrs. Grind oats in food processor until fine. Drain dates and cranberries. Add remaining ingredients and process thoroughly to form a dough.
Roll into small balls and roll each ball into more almond meal. Refrigerate until serving. Keeps up to two weeks in the frig.
* This is a very versatile recipe. I have substituted dried cherries for half the cranberries, and you could probably use half light raisins, too.
One ingredient I really love, one that gives vegan recipes a real "cheesy" flavor without all the negatives of dairy, is Nutritional Yeast. It is also a good vegan source of vitamin B-12! To learn more, or to experiment with some great recipes using this little known seasoning, visit the link below or simply try some Nutritional Yeast sprinkled on a bowl of warm popcorn. Yum!

A 69% success rate my first go around...not too shabby. I aced the Oakland bracket (including upset Alabama over Marquette), got 3 out of 4 in the Atlanta bracket (Syracuse fucked me over for the next two rounds, had them making the Sweet 16) and split the Washington and Minneapolis brackets (thanks for nothing Utah, Seton Hall, Nevada and Oklahoma).
Gonzaga and Boston College gave me scares...having my two finalists nearly knocked out in the first round definitely makes me realize I have a long way to go with this thing.
Still, I'm satisfied so far, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how into it I am. Makes me regret not giving NCAA basketball a chance before...I won't make the same mistake again, it's great stuff.
Big big congratulations to Team Mexico for knocking the US out of the World Baseball Classic, and for pretty much ending the chances of there being another one. All you had to do was watch the games that involved Latin American or Asian teams, and then watch a USA game. The difference was striking: you could even see it on the players' faces; the Americans just didn't care. They treated these games like spring training, whereas the other nations were playing with passion and pride.
The Cuba/Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic/Venezuela games were outstanding...and at least Canada played some exciting games. The Americans were boring by comparison. If you throw away the 17-0 shellacking of South Africa, Team USA scored a measly 16 runs in 5 games...that's an average of just over 3 runs a game. That's pathetic, given their lineup. I wonder if Roger Clemens will retire now...not the way he envisioned going out I'm sure.
This tournament also confirmed that Buck Martinez is one of the worst managers in history. Seriously, this guy could coach the Harlem Globetrotters, and they would come out and lose to the Generals.
Stick with the broadcast booth, Buck...that's your bread and butter.

The Right Swipe
by Alisha Rai
July 2, 2019 · Avon
Contemporary RomanceRomance
CW/TW: Abusive romantic and familial relationships. Rhi's ex is seriously menacing in a few parts, so take care of yourselves!
Alisha Rai is beloved here in the Pink Palace, so I approached The Right Swipe with some apprehension and excitement. What if I didn't love it? Would my new friends kick me out of this very cool book club? I'm not always a fan of contemporaries, and am not particularly drawn to stories where the hero is an athlete, so I worried that this might not be the right introduction to Alisha Rai. Thankfully, I could not put The Right Swipe down and stayed up entirely too late to finish it in one go. It was as delightful as I hoped and far more timely and poignant than I had expected.
Rhiannon Hunter or Rhi is the founder and CEO of Crush, a dating app that seeks to create a safer space for its users by explicitly rejecting the brotastic norms of her competitor and former employer Swype. Rhi left Swype after ending her terrible relationship with the CEO of the company. Following the end of the relationship, her boss/ex harassed her, gaslit her, and engaged in retaliatory behavior in a bid to force her out of the industry entirely. Rhi is clearly dealing with PTSD as a result of her experience and as she begins to reconnect with Samson, a former hookup, her fears of being betrayed again impact her willingness to trust him.
Samson Lima is a former NFL player and part of a family football dynasty. Both his father and his uncle played professional football and they both suffered devastating effects as a result of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), including his father's personality changing entirely and becoming abusive. In speaking out against the NFL for their total lack of regard for the risks associated with concussive and subconcussive injuries, Samson has unintentionally become an advocate for players' rights and, as a result, a target for those individuals who thought he should have just stayed silent and played football. Samson is also the nephew of Annabelle Kostas (Aunt Belle), the owner of Matchmaker and another competitor of Crush.
After Samson ghosted Rhi a few months before the start of The Right Swipe (with legit extenuating circumstances that we learn about pretty quickly in the narrative!), Rhi and Samson are thrown back together as Rhi continues her plan for world domination by buying Matchmaker from Samson's wonderfully kooky Aunt Belle. This lovers to enemies back to lovers story was a delightful and thoughtful exploration of trauma and healing anchored by a two people of color who were well-rounded and fully fleshed out characters with realistic roadblocks that complicated the development of their relationship.
Despite Rhi and Samson have some fairly serious issues to work out individually and collectively, this story and their relationship is not overwhelmingly filled with angst. This, my friends, is not an angst-apalooza. Rhi and Samson start working together as part of a joint marketing campaign for Matchmaker starring Samson as a little more than slightly clueless guy trying to find his way through the apparently very complicated world of dating via apps, with Rhi as his guide. But seriously, Samson needs a bit of help:
She [Rhi] inhaled when Samson oh-so-casually asked his date if she liked to "Netflix and chill" with her nephew and his reaction when the far-too-patient woman explained what he was asking. "What did you think Netflix and chill meant?" Rhiannon demanded, pausing the video.
"Exactly what it says! Watch television and relax." He shook his head, bewildered. "I didn't know it was about sex. Why can't people say what they want to say?"
"Because we live in a puritanical society that can't use the S word out loud." Rhiannon shook her head. "You're not that old, how do you not know slang?"
Samson is a good sport about his cluelessness and puts himself through all of the public humiliation because he wants to help out his Aunt Belle any way he can (and use the marketing campaign as an excuse to get to know Rhi).
There are so many things to love about this story! The Right Swipe is a glorious start to a new series and I cannot wait to see how it fully develops. I adored Rhi and Samson as individuals and as a couple, and their friends and family are a delight. I am DESPERATE to read Aunt Belle's book and hope that she gets to have the stripper-gram in a cake moment that she was denied this time around. There's a possibility of a f/f romance featuring Rhi's undeniably dope assistant Lakshmi and Belle's assistant, Tina. And, as a girl that has on occasion also celebrated with my best friend the moments when I manage to be out in public without a panic attack, I am beyond interested to see the path of healing for Rhi's best friend, Katrina.
One of my least favorite romance tropes is where there is a misunderstanding between the two lead characters that undergirds the entirety of the narrative. Instead of allowing one character to just clarify a mistaken assumption or explain a seemingly damning set of half-truths whispered by an evil ex trying to make sure their former partner is as unhappy as they are, they spin around a maypole of lies until the very end. Here, thankfully, Samson explains pretty quickly to Rhi why he ghosted her and Rhi is upfront with Samson about wanting to buy Matchmaker from Aunt Elle, so we don't have a She's All That "Am I a bet? Am I a FUCKING BET?" moment.
Their general willingness to communicate with each other is apparent throughout the book, but I was especially here for it when Rhi (me putting on my "I've been in lots of therapy" hat) is triggered by Samson calling her by her full name rather than her nickname post-orgasm because the last person to do that was her dickbag ex-boss. Her reflex is to shut down and run away, but Samson deescalates the situation so that she feels safe enough to explain what she was feeling and then I sighed with happiness about a scene that had both enjoyable, consent-filled sexytimes AND emotional intimacy.
I was delighted to see Samson's backstory. His struggles with the effects of CTE on his father, his uncle, his friends, and himself is one that we don't typically see when a football player is set up as the love interest in a romance. I appreciated this move past the fantasy of what it would be like to date a football player (tall! strong! famous!) and really and truly contend with the permanent costs to their brains and their bodies that we, as a society, have worked pretty hard to ignore. Having CTE be at the forefront of the issues Samson struggles with transforms him from being a handsome, muscley giant to a real person.
To call this a #MeToo novel undersells the specificity that the author has baked into Rhi's experience. It is absolutely about a woman being harassed in her workplace and feeling like her only choice is to stay silent. But it is also about how as a Black woman who has primarily moved through White spaces, in elite private schools, in Ivy League schools, and then in the tech field, Rhi was always cognizant of her hypervisibility, the risks that she faces, and the higher standards that she had to live up to in order to just be accepted. Rhi's story reflects the way that Black women in particular have had to navigate the #MeToo movement–she is aware that her belongingness in this world is already vulnerable in ways her ex can exploit and that there's always the danger that her purported allies may choose to identify with Whiteness ahead of womanhood.
For me, this deployment of intersectionality was unexpected and deeply impactful. As we all know, romance novels are often dismissed as being embarrassing wish fulfillment for sad lonely women who apparently are shameful and pathetic for revealing the existence of their own sexual desires. For me, at least, this book reflected another kind of wish fulfillment–one where I got to see parts of myself that are specific to my racial identity reflected in a text. My own hypervisibility in the workplace and the risks I've faced as someone who does not have the same room to fail that a White person might take for granted are things that I've had to communicate countless times – sometimes to friends and sometimes to supervisors and colleagues who were unable to recognize their own privilege. To see a real understanding of that struggle portrayed here was my moment to feel like I was that little Black girl seeing Michelle Obama's portrait at the National Portrait Gallery for the first time.
The Right Swipe is an amazing, well written story about two people of color falling in love as they come to terms with how the physical, psychological, and emotional traumas they experienced continue to affect them both. It was also, for me, a quiet little moment where I felt my existence was acknowledged. For those of us who have to frequently remind others of our humanity, of our intrinsic value, of the validity of our thoughts, values, and the ways we want to reshape this world, to truly see yourself reflected back to you in the mind of someone you never met is an indescribable gift. It's simply amazing to be seen.

Wednesday's climate change-focused forum hosted by CNN was a welcome chance for candidates to get away from the scandal, gaffe, and drama driven news cycle of the election and explain real policy platforms and solutions for one of America's most pressing issues.
It certainly was likely a welcome pivot for frontrunner Joe Biden, who has recently faced charges about his fitness for office, in the wake of several slip-ups and mistold stories.
Biden has attempted to lead on climate change, dropping a massive plan earlier this year to shrink carbon emissions by 2050 (that may have been plagiarized, but oh well), and talk about an issue he cares about and plans to lead on—oh no his eye exploded.

It could mean nothing for the 76-year-old. It's happened to many a person much younger.
But it sure won't quell concerns about his fitness for office, especially when his team, moments before it happened, dropped a tweet about not turning a blind eye to climate change.
We can't turn a blind eye to the way in which environmental burdens are distributed unevenly along racial and socioeconomic lines.Biden will right these wrongs and stand up to fossil fuel companies who disproportionately harm communities of color and low-income communities.

Scotland's Art Deco Heritage 6 (iii). Carron Restaurant Stonehaven Revisited Again
Posted in Architecture, Art Deco at 12:00 on 8 July 2019
I have featured the Carron Restuarant, Stoneheaven twice before, here and here. At the time these photos were taken the restaurant was shu but it seems it has now reopened, purveying Indian food, trading under the name Carron to Mumbai.
This photo is of the side window on the alley at the left hand side of the imposing frontage of the Restaurant
The canopy of that imposing entrance facing Cameron Street has this side window on to the alley but through it you can see the Art Deco glazing on the canopy itself:-
Art Deco Interior, Carron Restaurant, Stonehaven:-
As I recall this Art Deco mosaic vestibule floor was at the rear entrance to the Carron Restaurant, in Evan Street.

Checkout this Youtube and make up your own mind up:
I'm astonish by David Blanket MP recent article in regards to race riots over Roma people settling in the UK will set a precedence for either a UKIP or BNP candidate(s) to take seat on the council which I hope it does NOT happen and would rather have a Labour Councillors running council instead
As David Blanket MP knows all too well that immigration has Roma Peoplehelped the UK economy they do contribute by engaging with providing employment into the communities no matter what their backgrounds so many were surprised by the article and would have expected it from UKIP, BNP or Daily Express.
It's NOT normal practice for me to support Nick Clegg stance when he was quoted that Roma immigrants have to be sensitive to the British way of living. It was right to complain about unacceptable behavior. But the best way to deal with it was through dialog.
I do really hope that both Sheffield MPs can help to keep the peace with all their community leaders and bring about a peaceful solution to all concern. The worse that can happen if both does not keep the eye on the ball will see an increase of BNP and UKIP taking seats and having an overall majorities on Council which would not be good to both MPs I kid you not.
UK risk being seen as a nasty country thanks to David Cameron's overreaction against immigration and it's no surprise the European Union Employment Commissioner has spoken out against the UK government.
Laszlo Andor hit out at the Prime Minister for his hardline attempts to bar new EU arrivals from receiving welfare benefits for three months following scaremongering that UK will be swamped by Romanians and Bulgarians when restrictions are lifted on January 2014.
Intriguingly Andor accused David Cameron of not representing the full truth about the issue and suggested the reaction on UK was based on hysteria.
I don't normally read the Financial Times somehow someone brought to my attention there was a column alleging a heated commons debate with Labour ridiculing the proposals to be honest for my sins I have to concur that both the previous and present government are to blame as they knew this was going to cause a string of anti immigration and it's not good enough for Labour to keep on apologizing and I don't say this lightly as a son of a immigrant.
Shadow Home secretary Yvette Copper told MPs It is now the end of November and accession for Romania and Bulgaria will in a month's time. "So can you tell the House which of those measures will be in place by the beginning of January 2014 when the transitional controls for Romania and Bulgaria.
After all this debate in the House surprise,surprise Downing St admitted that David Cameron new plans to try and curb EU migrants are flawed. No10 revealed that the bulk of these ideas would not be in place by 1 January 2014 when restrictions on Bulgarians and Romanians wanting to move to the UK are lifted.
It's hardly surprising that David Cameron is facing a Conservative rebellion over immigration this Christmas so he landed himself in a pickle and decided cobbled this together whilst keeping his eye on UKIP fearing more of his fatcat donors will cross over to UKIP. So in a nutshell DONT PANDER TO RIGHT WING RACISM and FASCISM.

Getting Paid to Drink Wine…Where Do I Sign Up?
Image source Twitter
Matt Bellassi at Buzzfeed has my dream job. He sits at his desk at work, drinks a few glasses of wine, and then hilariously rants about all things adult. His videos have become so popular he has become verified on twitter, and for good reason. I mean, he tells it like it is AND he is a Beyoncé fan (Queen B is his background on the page too).
But getting back to his videos, it is a weekly Buzzfeed web-series released on Wednesday's called "Whine About It" with topics ranging from The Worst Things About Weddings to Reasons Outside is The Worst — each uniquely funny and pessimistic. Below I've posted a few personal favorites and a little blurb about them.
The Worst People at Every Restaurant – because we all know that one a**hole who takes all the bread in a shared basket for the table. I'm glad someone finally spoke up about this.
The Worst Types of People on Instagram – only thing I have to disagree with is that ALL dogs are cute so go keep Instagramming, sorry Matt!
Image source Buzzfeed
The Worst Things About being an Adult – because bills these days include burritos and paying extra for that guac. Maybe now employers will know we need a raise to budget for this!
So now on Wednesdays when you're sitting at your wine-free desk job, watch "Whine About It" and raise your (imaginary) wine glass , Cheers!
