'Wrap Your Bones' from Arcelia - lushness and understated opulence(July 02, 2014)
Arcelia's combination of voices creates a subtle, soulful folk-tinted sound filled with a richness and intensity you can almost feel. They deliver songs with a lushness and an understated opulence that you'll want to experience. On first-listen their debut album 'Wrap Your Bones' has a nonchalant feel that evokes a faintly remembered awareness. The warmth of the vocals, softly mixed instrumentation, expressive lyrics and relaxed informality combine to give this album an intimate expression that's easy to absorb. Even if you haven't heard this before it feels as though you have – it's that personal.
From the lead track, '45 Seconds', a warm opening adorned with instrumental accents, you're into the lyrical vocal expanse of 'Long Man' or soft intensity of 'Cupid' – this is soothing chill-out music. The tranquillity continues through the soporific simplicity of 'Busking Birds', Teresa's evocative vocals on 'She's Not Lost' and the understated sorrow of 'Blossom'. There's something of a mood-change with 'Another Song', which definitely falls into the 'surely I've heard this before' bracket but that's not criticism, it's simply a reflection of the special touch and character of this album.
Arcelia are Gavin Alexander (vocals, guitar, ukelele) Teresa Gallagher (vocals, percussion) and Simon Foster (vocals, cajon) with Jeff Alexander (banjo, dobro) James Dean (electric guitar) Phil Mulford (double bass) James Shears (bass, percussion) Ben Trigg (cello) and Perry White (piano).

The Hamilton Bulldogs kicked off their pre-season on a winning note with a 4-2 win over the Guelph Storm Friday night at the Firestone Arena in Ancaster.
The Bulldogs came out firing outshooting the Storm 16-0 in the first period, but failed to score. It didn't help that the Bulldogs went 0-3 on the power-play.
Hamilton kept up the pressure in the second and it paid off as Ben Garagan and Connor McMichael scored to give the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead after forty minutes.
Mackenzie Entwistle scored just before the 5-minute mark of the 3rd to make it 3-0 Bulldogs. Guelph made it close with back-to-back goals to cut the deficit to 3-2, but Hamilton's Marian Studenic scored into the empty net to make the final 4-2.
Final shots on goal were in favour of the Bulldogs 29-27.
Guelph goals were scored by Barret Kirwan and Tag Bertuzzi.
The 3-Stars:
- Connor McMichael (HAM)

by Airling (single out now)
Airling's run of ridiculously good tracks shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. It started last year with her Love Gracefully EP, continued into 2015 with the stunning Japanese Wallpaper collaboration 'Forces' and hits a new peak with 'Stallin'. While Hannah Shepherd's voice has always been soulful, we're moving in more of an R n' B direction with 'Stallin' than we've heard before and this is smooth. So smooth. Slow-jam smooth. And it doesn't get any smoother than that. Seriously, it doesn't get more R n' B than singing to someone about how they shouldn't call you from the payphone. That just screams late 90s/early 2000s. Because you see children, before the invention of those smart phones there were these things called payphones and you'd put coins into these old phones in a creepy box that would be covered with small pictures telling you to ring up Starla for "sensual times" and you'd have to call people's house phones if you could remember what their number was.
Anyway, you're confused now, so back to Airling. 'Stallin' is designed to give you all the feels with lyrics like, "take all your baggage, baby just go," sparse use of beats in the verses and the strong front that Airling's throwing out there vocally, masking the pain that lies beneath. She won't break, for she is strong... like Ashanti. While not a huge departure from the sound we're used to, with many of the same elements Airling has utilised to win over an ever-growing fan base, this still seems like we're seeing a whole new side of one of Brisbane's brightest. That Airling reign just won't let up, as Shepherd continues to show no signs of stalling when it comes to releasing quality jam after quality jam.

Let's Rock Blackpool
I've only cried once over a football match, it was on New Years Day 1971, I was ten years old - soon to be eleven - and Blackpool beat West Ham 4-0 in an F.A Cup Third Round tie. I don't think it was the fact that we lost to Blackpool that was the tipping point, or the fact that we lost to an 'unfancied' club, after all in those years surrounding the end of the 1960's and the beginning of the 1970's the names Huddersfield Town, Mansfield Town and Hereford United feature among the teams who put West Ham out of one competition or another, no it was the manner of our defeat. We were poor. I can remember the feeling of complete shame as my idols: Moore, Bonds, Brooking, Hurst and Clyde Best among them got given the run around on a frozen pitch by a team that would end the season being relegated from the old First Division.
Not only was that the one and only time I have shed tears over a West Ham result, well physically at least, it was also the only time in the last ten meetings between the two clubs, stretching back to 1966, that Blackpool have won. In fact a quick trip down memory lane, or at least down anorak avenue, reveals that back in December 1966 the clubs played at Bloomfield Road on Boxing Day (West Ham won 4-1) and a day later played out a nil-nil draw at the Boleyn. Who says today's players are over worked!
It's been a mixed season thus far, automatic promotion looked a good bet for most of it, in fact had Reading not put on an unbelievable performance to beat us 4-2 at home then it would have been a done deal. There have been some strange tactics, some peculiar formations and an air of 'let's get out of here, give Allardyce the sack and get relegated again next season playing 'proper football'. 'Big Sam' is a firm believer in playing to your strengths and sees nothing strange about lumping the ball up to the Bus Stop rather than using the speed of Sam Baldock and Nicky Maynard to get behind the opposition defence. That doesn't been it hasn't been entertaining, it's just that at times it's been like watching Wimbledon (the tennis not the football team) with the ball constantly getting altitude sickness.
The final table for the season shows that fourth was our natural finishing spot, having the fourth best attack, fourth best defence, fourth best goal difference, but the second highest number of wins and the second lowest number of defeats and yet in the end twenty minutes at home to Reading denied us that automatic promotion spot.
Allardyce is a year into a two year contract and I would hope that he is given time to get us into a position of consolidation in the Premier League, whether it's via a win today or next season. I would rather we did a Fulham, Swansea or Norwich than play yo-yo like Wolves, Blackburn and Birmingham have done over recent years.
Just a word about the ticket allocation, I appreciate there are security reasons for not letting the returned tickets from Blackpool going on sale again in London but isn't there something daft when two clubs whose average attendance last season were first and twentieth respectively in the Championship are given the same allocation. West Ham averaged 32,000 and were given 38,000 tickets, Blackpool average 12,000 and were given the same number, strikes me as wishful thinking on somebody's part.

Good point about the ticket allocation, Paul. Doesn't seem to make sense, does it?
As for the result.... I think West Ham will win...just.

It doesn't when there is such a vast gulf in average attendances. I think we will win by the odd goal in five.

Since we've all gotten so used to getting our thoughts down in 140 characters - and it's fun to keep the conversation flowing - we've take the Pep Rally to twitter! Every Monday, we host a twitter chat and we'd love you to join in. Just keep an eye out for the #MisfitPepRally hashtag!
I'm up early here in the West Coast and waiting for my coffee to brew before squeezing in a little editing on my current manuscript. As a writer and mom of two, I basically have caffeine running through my veins. There's nothing I enjoy more than sitting down with my laptop, a hot cup of coffee with half & half, and something crunchy to snack on. Iced coffee? An abomination. Tea? Okay, if done right. Soda? Occationally. But hot coffee is my writing fuel, at home or out in the world. The heat calms my body while the caffeine wakes up my brain. The perfect combo to kick start my creativity and ease me into another world.
What about you guys? What is your perfect writing fuel? Does it change in the summer? Or with your surroundings? Am I missing something with my insistence on hot coffee?

Transdev, operator of the Cincinnati Bell Connector streetcar, has boosted weekend service to meet ridership demand.Weekend ridership has been 300 percent to 500 percent higher than what the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) projected before service began, a Transdev spokeswoman told the Cincinnati Enquirer.As of Oct. 6, the Cincinnati Bell Connector has logged more than 150,000 total rides, which has far exceeded projections, according to a SORTA press release.At the start of the Oct. 7 weekend, Transdev operated more streetcars to accommodate more riders and reduce wait times.If the company didn't comply with the city's request for more service, city officials threatened to take Transdev to court for failing to meet contractual obligations, the Enquirer reported. The contract stipulates that passengers shouldn't wait more than 15 minutes for a streetcar to arrive at a stop.

Webpack is a popular module bundling system built on top of Node.js. It can handle not only combination and minification of JavaScript and CSS files, but also other assets such as image files (spriting) through the use of plugins. Webpack can be used as an alternative to Cassette or ASP.NET Combination and Minification. This guide assumes you have already installed Webpack.
In order to use Webpack with ReactJS.NET's server-side rendering, it is suggested that you create a separate bundle ("entry point") containing only the code required to perform server-side rendering. Any components you would like to render server-side must be exposed globally so that ReactJS.NET can access them. This can be done through the Webpack expose loader:
// Content/components/index.js
module.exports = {
// All the components you'd like to render server-side
Avatar: require('./Avatar'),
Comment: require('./Comment'),
CommentsBox: require('./CommentsBox')
// Content/server.js
// All JavaScript in here will be loaded server-side
// Expose components globally so ReactJS.NET can use them
var Components = require('expose-loader?Components!./components');
The next step is to modify the
webpack.config.js so that it creates a bundle from
Content/server.js. A config similar to the following could work as a good starting point:
var path = require('path');
module.exports = {
context: path.join(__dirname, 'Content'),
entry: {
server: './server',
client: './client'
output: {
path: path.join(__dirname, 'build'),
filename: '[name].bundle.js'
module: {
loaders: [
// Transform JSX in .jsx files
{ test: /\.jsx$/, loader: 'jsx-loader?harmony' }
resolve: {
// Allow require('./blah') to require blah.jsx
extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx']
externals: {
// Use external version of React (from CDN for client-side, or
// bundled with ReactJS.NET for server-side)
react: 'React'
This configuration uses two entry points (
Content/server.js for the server side and
Content/client.js for the client side) and will create two bundles (
build/server.bundle.js and
build/client.bundle.js respectively). Your configuration may be more complex, but generally you should only have a single bundle with all the code required for server-side rendering.
Our configuration also requires installation of the "expose" and "jsx" loaders:
npm install --save-dev expose-loader
npm install --save-dev jsx-loader
Once Webpack has been configured, run
webpack to build the bundles. Once you have verified that the bundle is being created correctly, you can modify your ReactJS.NET configuration (normally
App_Start\ReactConfig.cs) to load the newly-created bundle:
This will load all your components into the
Components global, which can be used from
Html.React to render any of the components:
@Html.React("Components.CommentsBox", new {
initialComments = Model.Comments
A full example is available in the ReactJS.NET repository.

Our latest back to school style tips, are from Toronto,Canada! Joanna Haughton is a woman of many talents, from her acting career,photography,producing and being a mom. Haughton chronicles her various projects and personal style on her blog ModaMama. I am pleased to introduce Joanna and share her awesome back to school on a budget style tips!
The Eye: How do you feel about repeating outfits, is it a do or a don't?
Joanna Haughton: I do it all the time. I read this thing about how French women have a limited wardrobe, but they repeat the outfits they look great in. Now, while I don't believe that French women have the monopoly of style, I do believe that if something works for you why not re-wear it. That being said I try to change up a little bit of something to keep it fresh. Usually mixing up the accessories - adding a scarf, a different necklace, purse, shoes, etc - is enough to keep the feeling of the original outfit but change it up to make it feel new.
The Eye: Do you have any tips on how to remix a look,?
Joanna Haughton: Haha. See above. Layers, accessories - that's what it's all about really. Layer something under or over, or change up what you add in terms of jewelery, hats, and accessories.
The Eye: What would you tell someone who wants to thrift shop, but feels enormously overwhelmed?
Joanna Haughton: Enjoy the process. Take a day, or an afternoon, just a good chunk of time. Put on some awesome tunes on your phone, pop in your headphones and settled in for a slow relaxing day of wading through clothes and accessories. You aren't going to find something every time, sop just enjoy the process and take it one piece at a time. Also, swap with your friends. That's a good way to wade into thrifting. I do this all the time - organize clothing swaps with friends.
The Eye: What do you consider a mandatory piece to someone's closet?
Joanna Haughton: A great pleather jacket. A fabulous moto jacket is a great layering piece. But if you had to ask me lately, kimonos. I'm a little over the moon for them right now.
The Eye: Where are the best places to look for discounts and bargains?
Joanna Haughton: Online. Honestly, I've seen so many of the same pieces I see online in local boutiques at over twice the price. IT's because physical boutiques have a lot of overhead - rent, sales people, etc. But online there's not as much overhead and the discounts there are ridiculous! I bought a shirt online for $28 that a retail boutique had on for $135.
The Eye: Where can we see more of you?
Joanna Haughton: Glad you asked! Check me out on ModaMama for daily fashion goofiness and sarcasm. And feel free to check out my Acting Site and Blog for updates on my professional artistic career. Plus, you know, the usual - Facebook and Twitter. Oh and I often Instagram from behind the scenes. On September 16th I'm on set again for a feature film I'm in and producing, so you won't want to miss that!
Thank you so much for sharing both your style tips and letting us in on your feature film! Be sure to keep updated with Moda Mama, because she is definitely on the move!

Fraud Investigation, Insurance Fraud, Cheque Fraud
Fraud is by any other name: theft by deception.
In January 2010 the National Fraud Authority published the first Annual Fraud Indicator estimating fraud losses in the UK to be at least £30.5 billion a year.
A fraudster is a thief who can see an easy target, whether it is a single person, a group of people or a business or other entity who are deceived into the belief that the transaction is genuine and will produce the result expected. Victims include Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs and Department of Work & Pensions, and anyone or any business big or small who are defrauded by the deceptions such criminals develop to attack their targets. theft by employee can often involve a deception (fraud) perpetrated either by themselves or in tandem with another employee or maybe one of suppliers or even a customer. 'fiddling expenses' is a common complaint.
Stealing property or stealing cash and trying to conceal this fact by some other means such as false invoicing, or false records, supplying false details to obtain credit, altering payee details, and such things as cheque fraud and anything that gets the fraudster a better deal or remuneration such as false job applications are all on the increase. Trying to detect this type of offence requires at times sophisticated methods of investigating.
Insurance fraud is a massive problem, whether perpetrated by an exagerrated insurance claim, a false or fraudulent personal injury claim, or false report of theft of household contents or any fraudulent claim involving a car accident.
Our private investigators are all seasoned police detectives with many years of criminal investigation and fraud detection experience and expertise, and we can advise you on the best ways to firstly stop the process, and secondly, to try to gather the evidence sufficient to prosecute the fraudster.
we can gather evidence of theft or stealing by deception (fraud) from many sources that include the forensic examination of pc's, laptops and mobile phones. The serial fraudster who can operate on an international scale now uses skype communications to conceal true locations, and is adept at using various telephone systems particularly in the uk, to appear that they are indeed local when in all probability the fraudsters are operating in africa, the far east or the usa - and not manchester or london as they tell you. In fact they are most likely to be based anywhere across the globe using every means to conceal their trail of deceit.

Looking To Sell Your Home
Dated: 01/25/2015
Views: 504
Hello Folks,
Great news for those that are thinking about selling your home!! Charlotte and surrounding areas are experiencing a low inventory of resale homes. With historically low interest rates buyers are very motivated to lock in at these low rates. That's good news for sellers. Many clients with homes on the market are receiving multiple competing offers which in most cases will drive up the sales price. There are many active buyers in Mecklenburg and Union county looking for their next home. I have witnessed this myself by the increase of property searches and open house visitors. If you are interested in selling your home or just want to get an idea of your current homes market value, please give me a call or send me an email for a free CMA (Comparative Market Analysis)!!!

Houghton Hall Alpacas
May 2016
Its great to get out of the studio now and again, and last week we were booked by Liz and Mick George for a 4 day commercial shoot at the Houghton Hall Alpaca Centre in Cambridgeshire. We were asked to photograph their alpaca's being sheared, some close ups of the fleeces and also some before and afters. We were even lucky enough to be there on the last day when one of the alpacas gave birth! It was so cute to see how affectionate the mums are to their young.

This is about a group of friends and families in their attempt to live in harmony with nature. They believe in having a respectful relationship with the land on which they are living and among themselves in their community.
The Family Collective Aldeia.
I write about Family Collective Aldeia because my wife and I appreciate them for their role model. Though, being of much younger average age than us, we believe that the elderly on our planet should not cease being young at heart. Our inner being is what counts, not the fact that the bodies we live in are slowly losing certain capabilities which are granted as normal for the younger generation. Many elderly people have gained capabilities which only grow through time.
For this reason they are on our list of places to visit next time in Bahia. To get a feel with this example. The difference in their and our plan is that we seek a more or less comparable lifestyle but only for a stay during our Dutch winter time period. Right now we are searching among people in the region for a caretaker / farmers couple. We would love it to build a house for them as well as for us, thus providing an opportunity for them to live a good life with income from both the rich soil there and by the service rendered to us retirees during our staying for half of the year. Preferably local people, with knowledge of planting and reaping from the land. In addition, they should be able to cook and to care for us yet vital retirees. A small community, but hopefully with the potential to grow.
The Aldeia Community Role Model.
The goal is to create space, for individuals, families and nature, where the community can flourish on the basis of an ecology supportive manner. Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth is fostered and encouraged without expecting from community members to follow a certain doctrine. The community must be an open space, so that each individual can express him or herself in its own unique way, making them grow in their own unique direction.

Vegetable Lore
As you know, Thanksgiving is this week; I figured we should celebrate a vegetable native to the Americas and currently in season: SQUASH! Wait, don't stop reading! Winter squash has an interesting place in our history. Most of the world's winter squashes are native to the Americas; there is evidence of its cultivation going back to at least 8,000 B.C in Central Mexico, Peru, and the Eastern United States! Squash, along with dried beans and corn, is a member of the "Three Sisters"; the term Native American farmers gave to the classic form of mixed cropping where plants grow together in a supportive, symbiotic relationship.
The word squash comes from the Narragansett indian word"askutasquash", which translates to "eaten raw or uncooked." If you don't like squash, you are not alone. Narragansett Indians served the hungry pilgrims a chowder of seafood and squash; the finicky Pilgrims didn't eat it. Instead, after the Indians left, the Pilgrims fed the chowder to their pigs! The pilgrims changed their minds about squash once the long, cold winter set in and they faced starvation; squash soon became a staple of their diet.
More squash facts:
Cook This!
Caramelized Acorn Squash
Put Place oven rack on lowest setting; preheat to 400 degrees.
Place sheet pan in oven to heat.
Wash squash; no need to peel! Cut squash into half and remove seeds. Cut halves into 1" wedges and place in large bowl.
Toss squash with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and hot. Make sure each slice is well coated.
Remove hot sheet pan from oven. Carefully place squash slices on pan in a single layer. Don't crowd the slices.
Roast 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and turn each squash slice over; at the same time move the exterior slices in the interior of the pan and vice versa to ensure even browning and caramelization.
Cook for 10 minutes more or until squash slices are cooked through. Eat the squash, peel and all. Yum!
Everyone at Native Maine wishes you and yours
a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
Enjoy the squash!

In other Maine food news last week the "Maine Grocers and Food Producers Association" recognized one of our longtime vendors, Ricker Hill Orchards, as "Producer of the Year" at their annual "Food Means Business" summit in Freeport. Founded in Turner in 1803, Ricker Hill is truly a family business with 3 generations of the family running the farm. Ricker Hill supplies us with apples, cranberries, blueberries and their outstanding cider. 3 years ago they launched a line of hard ciders and opened a tasting room at their farm--well worth a trip to Turner!

On 12/30/09, a MicroMODEL user group meeting was held at the offices of TetraTech in Lakewood, Colorado. Attendees included Don Tschabrun of Jipangu Resources, John Ziese and Don Hulse of Gustavson Resources, Rex Bryan and Lee Aga of TetraTech, and Randy Martin of RKM Associates. Plans for updating MicroMODEL were discussed, including expanding certain geostatistical modeling capabilities, handling of rock code inputs, and improved menu navigation. Don Tschabrun presented results from the new variable slope by rock type cone miner output. This new feature allows the user to vary the slope, not only by azimuth, but also by rock type, when doing pit optimization studies.
At the request of Tetratech, a new feature was added to the MicroMODEL software option which displays 3-D block values in section. The user can now display multiple sections along rows or columns at one time, greatly simplifying the process.
RKM Associates welcomes the newest user of MicroMODEL software, Bonanza Mining of Reno Nevada. They have Gemcom software, but wanted to have the ability to do most of the things GEMS can do without the high cost of an additional license. They chose MicroMODEL. MicroMODEL has convenient tools for importing and exporting drillhole data, block models, digitized contours, TIN models, and 3-D wireframe mesh models to and from GEMS as well as most of the other popular (but expensive!) software systems.
MicroMODEL does pretty much everything these expensive systems can do, but at a fraction of the cost. And, if there is a particular function you need that MicroMODEL doesn't currently have, we can add that to the system at very little cost. But, MicroMODEL already has a significant suite of mining software functions including drillhole data entry, geostatistics, topography modeling, contour mapping, kriging, mine reserve optimization, mine scheduling, and detailed mine design.

Many companies have invested large sums of money in mining software systems such as Minesight, Gemcom, Datamine, and Vulcan. On top of that, they spend considerable money training their employees how to use the software. Because of the costs involved, these companies tend to purchase only a limited number of user licenses. Since these expensive systems all seem to use hardware dongles for protection, the typical workday ends up being a constant game of "musical dongles". More employees need to use the software than there are dongles available.
Want put an end to the madness? Buy a few copies of MicroMODEL and/or PolyMap and be sure to take advantage of the multi-copy discounts. MicroMODEL and Polymap can import/export drillhole, grade model, and wireframes from and to most popular software systems. Run your data checks, statistics, grade modeling, and pit optimization with MicroMODEL. Do your detailed pit designs with PolyMap. Generate your detailed mine schedules with MicroMODEL's Manual Mine Scheduling Program. When you are finished, export things back into the expensive system for your final presentation. After all, you do need to justify spending all of that money, don't you?
RKMA has entered a reseller agreement with Loggerhead Navigation of San Diego California (www.loggerheadnav.com) for the popular EZVol stockpile volume calculation software. The first order of business was to add the capability to import directly from the Laser Technologies, Inc. Mapsmart raw data format. At Loggerhead's suggestion, RKMA will also soon be adding the capability to export stockpile wireframe models from EZVol to the popular Google Sketchup 3-D display program.
Mr. Don Tschabrun, mining engineer, has just purchased copies of MicroMODEL and PolyMap mining software for use in long term planning of the Florida Canyon Gold Mine. Tschabrun is an experienced user of the software, having been instrumental over the past twenty years in providing new ideas and valuable input towards improving both software packages. Tschabrun is especially adept at using MicroMODEL's floating cone optimization software and PolyMap's detailed pit design program. He is also a big fan of the interactive scheduling module, "Mansched".
In early September, RKMA welcomed engineers Luis de la Fuente and Eduardo Davila of Xtierra, Canada for a one week workshop studying mine mineral modeling and mine planning techniques at our offices in Denver Colorado. They are currently working to create a 3-D geologic and grade block model for the Bilbao deposit, located in Central Mexico. Detailed training was provided for drillhole data entry, statistical analysis, topo controuring, variogram calculations, kriging, and pit optimization techniques. They are both quite impressed with the bang for buck they get with MicroMODEL software!

'Tis the season when most of us are short on time and throwing together a meal that is quick, nutritious and delicious can be a challenge.
Look no further because this recipe fits the bill.
The ingredients listed below are those that I usually have on hand and the spices are available in most grocery stores.
I wanted the masala to be the focus of the dish and drew upon my experience with spices to determine how much masala to use in comparison to the other seasonings. Turmeric, smoked paprika and cardamom are strong spices and too much of any one of them can quickly turn a dish into a disaster.
While I wanted the masala to be the focus of the dish, the soba noodles turned out to be the "surprise" and ultimately the star of the show. They were a last-minute addition that paired perfectly with the other ingredients, tasted phenomenal and left us feeling satiated.
Throwing most of the ingredients in all together and letting the dish simmer for three hours allowed me to focus on other things for the day, making this dish quick and easy!
Serves 6-10
8-16 oz dry chickpeas, soaked overnight (I used 16 oz because we love them!)
the chickpeas' juice, about 4 cups
28 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 onion, diced
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp ginger root, zested
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cardamom powder
14 oz can coconut milk
1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1/2 – 1 tbsp sea salt
cracked pepper to taste
soba noodles, 7-14 oz, or amount to your liking
lime, cilantro and spinach for topping – optional, amount to your liking
Soak chickpeas overnight. The following day drain, rinse and cook chickpeas on medium heat until tender. About an hour. Do not drain after the peas have finished cooking.
Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger root, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, smoked paprika, cardamom powder, coconut milk and 1 tbsp cilantro to the chickpeas and its juice. Add water if juice from chickpeas yielded less than 4 cups.
Simmer on low heat for 3 hours or until ready to serve.
While mixture is simmering, juice the lime, chop a bunch of cilantro and set aside until ready to serve the dish.
Cook soba noodles according to package instructions about 10 minutes before serving dish.
Place cooked soba noodles in individual bowls, add the masala mixture and top with a little lime, cilantro and spinach.
Do you have a favorite quick and easy meal that is also nutritious? Please leave a comment…or recipe!

Why President Obama 2008 Campaign was Successful
On November 4, 2008 when the residents America voted for their first black leader to the uppermost office in the land, the political temperature of the nation experienced a significant historical transformation. This was a major revolution for a nation that for a long time there have been racial segregation and slavery. For Barack Obama, he clearly realized that since the presidential election of 2000, there have been significant changes in every facet of the life of Americans due to new technology and innovation. In addition, he understood that this technology advancement had transformed the dynamics and power of politics of America. He found this as a fertile ground to base his campaign for the presidency. Moreover, he was able to transform the established norms of America's presidential campaigns by securing the 2008 Democratic nomination. His major strategy was the integration of social networking and information technology.
Through this technique, he was able to capture citizen's involvement in his campaigns by forming 8,000 online affinity groups, enrolling 750,000 volunteers, and organizing 30,000 occasions. This strategy was also able to mobilize fundraising for the campaigns in which the team raised over $200 million. However, it was not only the social networking that helped to boost the campaign, he employed other strategies to win the favor of the majority. This paper seeks to analyze the reasons why his campaign was very successful. It will provide a brief introduction of how Obama rose to politics as well as introduce the campaign strategies utilized. It will further describe these successful strategies in detail and offer a conclusion majorly based on personal opinion.
Mr. Obama's rise in to politics started in 1996 when he contested for an Illinois state senate seat in Chicago. His team was able to challenge the nomination appeals of three major party competitors who included the experienced and famous politician of the south, Alice Palmer. Through this triumph, he was able to convince the Americans that he had the winning mentality and was not to accept any intimidation. A contentious scheme emptied his way to voted office even though he conformed to party regulations. This gave him a lot of strength and confidence and in 1999; he tried his luck in the national politics. He tried to remove Bobby Rush from his seat as Chicago congressional delegate. In this contest, he lost severely and people depicted him as an exclusive stranger. This gave him a lot of experience and he realized that he should play his game well and organize his strategies before sighting a higher seat (Sherwell, 2008).
The campaign of Obama was very impressive such that it looked like a phenomenon that had taken at least 10 years to develop to an instant idea. In the 1980s, Obama was working as a community coordinator with the "Developing Communities Project" in Chicago's South Side. Since this time, he was able to develop and harness skills in community mobilization and society involvement, which greatly helped him to administer his campaign strategies. The victorious strategy of Obama centered on "The Three Ms": message, money and mobilization. Each of these aspects promoted the other through a virtuous cycle, which made the campaign to transverse all comers of the nation (Graff, 2009).
His message of change and his speechifying skills stimulated the interests of Democratic voters following two terms of President George W Bush. He outsmarted the Clintons by centering on simple approaches for instance raising funds online through millions of petite donors. The approaches that he used demonstrated what he went through in life. These personal experiences reflected the aggressive passages of Columbia and Harvard to the rough streets of Chicago's South Side. Here, he struggled through challenges as a youthful community advocate, then proceeded to strengthen his confidence as a sturdy political operator (Sherwell, 2008).
It is evident that there are numerous reasons that justify Obama's extraordinary win in the 2008 elections. However, one general strand that fastens together all these strategies was the spirit of change. In the eyes of many, this would seem as a simple word with the mere intention of luring voters in a ravenous political foundation. In reality, the actual change that enabled Obama's election was in the number of voters that turned out for the elections encompassing all generations in global geo-political patterns, and in his character of a victorious candidate. All these factors indicate that the change was not only concerned in winning the support of the majority. This change was a major approach that facilitated Obama to succeed over Senator John McCain (Alex-Assensoh, 2008).
Obama's organizational approach mingled the use of records files to aim cautiously at possible supporters, conservative door-to-door electioneering, and web-based signing up of volunteers. All these approaches reflected the strategies that Bush used in 2002 and had worked for him. Moreover, Obama utilized an outstanding fundraising procedure, which was very effective. This operation relied heavily on web-implored contributions and it further displayed examples discovered from the Bush campaign. Obama was the first key party aspirant to decline public finances for the general election campaign, as he was successful in mobilizing small contributions (Milkis & Rhodes, 2009).
Campaign Strategies in general
The Obama team utilized winning approaches from the party nominations to presidential campaigns. Due to this, they were able to attain more delegates based on enhanced inspiration, improved understanding of the regulations, enhanced fundraising and better organisation (Sherwell, 2008). Obama utilized his message skills and his compelling individual narrative to win majority supporters. In addition, the timing of the politics was suitable since they were at a time when the message of change was inevitable and very convincing. Consequently, the candidacy of Obama became a nationwide association that was able to mobilize masses among the population least considered to have a voice in elections. This mobilization targeted the young population and the generation that was new to media technology (Norquay, 2008).
During the 2000-2006 election cycles, Bush and the Republican Party pioneered the "national machine" strategy, which Obama sought to enhance and utilize it fully for maximum benefits. The Obama campaign embarked on web-based network to recruit million of supporters. Once the team obtained supporters' information, the team utilized contemporary communications devices to persuade supporters to invite friends and relatives, provoke campaign devotees, elucidate the candidate's positions and notify activists in case of fundraisers, rallies and other campaign events (Milkis & Rhodes, 2009). Obama campaign utilized different strategies including, use of slogan and lobbying, use of media and technology, his winning speeches, proper marketing strategies and targeting the proper groups of people. Moreover, he used racial cohesion, grassroots campaigning, fundraising strategy and proper timing. Of all these strategies however, the media and technology was the most successful.
Use of the Slogan "Yes We Can"
In his campaigns, Obama dedicated the bulk of his speeches, media messages; writings on billboards and placards to the slogan "Yes We Can." This slogan, which was the core message of the whole of the campaign, prompted definite cultural relationships for diverse sections of the population. Moreover, he was able to change the slogan into a narrative, which appealed to diverse constituencies. The first time when Obama used the slogan in his presidential campaign was ironical to many. This is because it was in a speech he gave on 8 January 2008, following his loss of the New Hampshire primary election to his opponent Hillary Clinton. This speech was able to draw a lot of attention from the media and it's became the order of the then presidential elections. This is because split-screen music video that was very striking aired it several times. To strengthen this, there were famous multi-ethnic youthful actors and performers who regularly mentioned Obama's speech frequently. This slogan by Obama was able to offer a uniting, motivating and ultimately convincing allegory, which gave Americans the hope of conquering in unison the troubles, which faced them (Foxlee, 2009).
The Media and Technology
Obama's campaign utilized the media and new technology in a very great way. Actually, it was the major strategy utilized to win a majority of voters. The internet was very critical for social networking while T.V channel, videos and mobile phones sent the appropriate messages to win the favor of voters. Graff (2009) indicate that the Obama campaign covered nearly all areas supporting the campaign with text messages, the campaign website, emails, social networking sites, YouTube and blogs.
The campaign had a Barack TV website and connected to the campaign's YouTube site. This TV website synchronized various video clips displayed outstandingly in digital campaign materials. By November 2008, there were over 1,700 videos uploaded on Barack TV. These videos were remarkable for their multiplicity of subjects and outreach to particular interest groups and for their absolute number. In addition, these videos were very different from preceding campaigns in various ways. For instance, they highlighted stories of campaign devotees, volunteers and the contestant, which was not the case for previous campaigns. In regard with this, many videos generated by the Obama campaign were majorly regarding campaign devotees.
For instance, a video illustrated African American students in the Bronx who aired their views concerning the candidacy of Obama. Moreover, videos that majorly concentrated on the candidate himself, had aspects of the supporters. For instance, there were videos that featured Obama's speech, which started with figures of supporters in the multitudes and often cut to them paying attention to the speeches. Consequently, many supporters had viewed the Obama campaign videos on YouTube over 18 million times by November 3, 2008 (Abroms & Lefebvre, 2009).
All the staff concerned with the Obama campaign starting from the manager to the grassroots organizers realized that the internet was very vital for every stage of the campaign. This top-down realization and awareness by the campaign staff, made it possible for the strategy to attract a wide range of supporters. Immediately after Obama proclaimed that he would run for the presidency in February 2007, the campaign's internet team ensured that there was a story to cast, during every Monday. This team included the grassroots staff, Web team-merchants, new media team, and online media team (Graff, 2009). The internet was accessible by nearly all people even in diverse geographical regions.
This eliminated the probability of geography as an obstacle to political battle across a huge nation. Using inventories offered by Obama centers, the concealed army would extend with numerous personal messages and calls, traversing from one state to another through the long primary season. The internet also made sure that the campaign team reached all the targeted areas and people. This means that while the candidate was campaigning in one area, the other team was organizing the ground in another place for the coming encounter. This also ensured that when the candidate emerged for the subsequent state campaign, there was a practical campaign squad waiting for him, being very ready and organized (Norquay, 2008).
In the "My Barack Obama site," supporters would communicate their sentiments, both optimistic and pessimistic, concerning the campaign and the candidate, organize events, solicit funds with goal-setting devices, and converse with other supporters (Abroms & Lefebvre, 2009). The internet also offered aspects that allowed supporters produce lists of indifferent voters to call from home and generate canvas inventories to knock on doors, and create their own fundraising objectives among their relatives and friends (Graff, 2009). In addition to using the internet, the campaign also utilized the mobile campaigning strategy. In August 2008, the campaign team founded Obama Mobile, an accessible application for iPhone and Blackberries. With this application, there were messages sent to clients according to their features and locality. Text messages sent to devotees comprised appeals for participation in addition to standard updates on the campaign (Abroms & Lefebvre, 2009).
Winning speech
In his triumph speech of 4 November 2008, Obama employed interdiscursivity and Intertextuality. Obama mainly used the oratory styles used by Abraham Lincoln and the Founding Fathers and those used by Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement. In addition, Obama speeches used clear and well-understood references. The white legend of an America established in freedom and equality with the black narrative of a journey towards equality and freedom intertwined well for Obama. By this, Obama gave Americans a general future that linked with their different pasts by credibly proposing a joining metanarrative that personified a comprehensive rewriting of the American story and the American Dream (Foxlee, 2009).
Marketing skills
During Obama's campaign, marketing skills played an important role, mainly in branding, targeting, and grassroots promotion. The marketing skills helped Obama to portray himself as the channel of change in three ways. He first built a wider and realigned union of the electorate across party lines and other prior divisions through sophisticated targeting. Secondly, his branding of change not only portrayed his reformist principles and unfailing belief in responsible and positive government, but also stressed his distinctiveness as a Washington foreigner and/or would-be first African-American president. His grassroots promotion and strategic public relations lastly, represented a radical move in the style of presidential authority, from strict, secretive, and interactive bottom-up and top-down to transparent approach (Hirabayashi, 2009).
Targeting the winning group and racial cohesion
During the Democratic primaries, Obama was able to assemble effectively part of the Democratic voters who backed Hillary Clinton incorporating women, the financially vulnerable, Hispanic, and even the Catholics (Hirabayashi, 2009). His team was also able to mobilize racial-minority communities and immigrant using internet-based technology, house-to-house meetings, registration drives, and, most of all, the convergence of existing social networks as a point of entry to the communities. In addition, the young people were active in Obama's campaign. Obama spoke to them as equivalents, making them believe that they could bring about a distinction, and motivating them to do the impossible.
They were partners in his campaign holding an equal chance in the result. Obama's natural ability to comprehend all races because of his black, white and Asian background made him focus on themes of hope and bi-partisanship. Consequently, he resisted and stood firm against the customary approach of open disapproval and race baiting. He however chose to focus on opportunity, enthusiasm, hope, and believed in the promise that is natural in the American dream. Obama therefore, symbolized the spirit of change in terms of racial politics and a change in the negative mood of American politics (Alex-Assensoh, 2008).
Grassroots campaigning and fund raising
Mobilizing the online supporters to take part in precinct walking, door-knocking, and registration drives strengthened Obama's army. MyBarackObama.com further strengthened the grassroots efforts through social network sites with network members consenting to campaign in the regions they stood for. Voter mobilization certainly, was not a one-off effort on Election Day, but a stable system of communication during the primary and general election campaigns (Milkis & Rhodes, 2009). In American politics, grassroots campaigning has a long history however, Obama made several improvements, his campaign not only sought to allot key responsibilities to local teams that would encourage his followers voting experiences, but also promote and develop a broad range of professional and social networks (Alex-Assensoh, 2008). In the modern electoral history, Obama was the most successful political fundraiser having raised more than $600 million dollars during the campaign. Obama was able to spend more than $360 million dollars on media and $312 million on broadcast media alone. The mobilization efforts grew due to the availability of more than $3 million in per diem expenditures to grassroots volunteers (Milkis & Rhodes, 2009).
Barack Obama's race to the white house was a historical hallmark in the lives of many Americans. Being the first Black president of the United States, he proved to the whole world that even those deemed as the minority, could rise to the highest level of leadership. His Campaign was very successful since he employed a new strategy that won the favor of the majority. He majorly utilized media and technology to strategize his campaigns, especially the use of internet. Moreover, he had excellent oratory skills, utilized good marketing strategies and was able to target the right group. In addition to this, he was able to raise enormous funds through his online fundraising, which helped him to carry out his campaigns well.
What made his campaign even more exclusive was how he mobilized the minority groups while his rivals concentrated on the majority. Obama realized that he had to reach out to the local people in their localities if he had to win the elections. By this, he was able to organize grassroots campaigns, which were very successful. This means that he mobilized many people from the grassroots and convinced them to vote for him. Above all, his striking strategy was his aspect as a change agent. He was able to convince Americans that he was the change that they wanted and this happened at a time when the nation wanted change inevitably.
