Coffee-Rubbed Steak
Once a year - usually in December - I clear out my stack of food magazines.
I typically keep the current year under the coffee table and the prior year stacked on the bookshelf. At the end of the year, I go through the issues on the bookshelf, tear out the recipes I want and recycle the rest. Then, I move the current year to the bookshelf to make room for the upcoming year's issues.
While I'm going through the magazines from two years ago I often find recipes that I bookmarked to make back when the magazine was new, but for whatever the reason, never got around to making.
This coffee-rubbed steak was one of them. Leaner cuts of beef were on sale last week, so put it on for last week.
For the most part I really liked this. The potatoes were just OK, and I accidentally cooked my steak longer than I should have, but the rub was delicious.
I love coffee, and mixed with the chili powder and the Mrs. Dash Spicy Blend that I used as a swap for the steak seasoning, it gave what would have been boring piece of steak a nice kick.
I even made the parsley butter, but that didn't add anything to the final dish. I love butter, but with all the spice you couldn't even taste it. If I'm going to add a lot of extra fat/calories to a dish it has to be really worth it. And honestly, it wasn't in this case.
Lastly, instead of the succotash that came with the recipe I did a bastard-ized version with black beans and jalapeno. I followed the same method, but used an entire jalapeno with some of the ribs left intact and left out the thyme. Worked well and was great on lettuce with the leftover steak the next day.

America has elected a new President, and the historic administration of President Barack Obama will serve its last day on January 20, 2017.
Every administration has an official White House photographer, and for Obama, it was photographer Pete Souza. During the eight years that he served in this capacity, Souza took nearly two million photos of the President. Below is a compendium of some of the highlights, from serious moments like the War Room during the raid on Osama Bin Laden to lighter moments with kids, or First Lady Michelle Obama.

Sometimes in the past Dr. Ironstein made some researches about invisible, teleportation and other dimensions. There were rumors that he needed a lot of naive girls to explore the other dimension! But one day he disappeared without a trace. You play for Megan and your boss gave you an ultimatum: either you write a good story, or you are fired. What a bitch! She gave you the code from the main door of the old mansion (and do not ask how she got it…) – your sex game has just started!

The intriguing game of online video poker
One of the games that is gaining huge popularity in online casinos is video poker. The history of online video poker can be traced to Fortune Coin Company in Nevada, which in the 1970's, came up with an online video game for which people had to pay in order to play. This video game was a combination of Draw Poker and bell slots. This hybrid games made online casino players go berserk and today it has a tremendous fan following.
The detailed articles that are present in the extensive collection of Gambling City offers all the information you will ever need to know about the rules for video poker to the history and even the tricks that can help you win at this game.
Learning the ropes of the game
It does not take a genius to learn video poker strategy. The rules for this game are on the lines of the draw poker. The cards are dealt as soon as you click the "Deal or Draw" button on the screen.
The aim of video poker is to get the winning hand. You can improve at the game in leaps and bounds if you know when to 'hold' on to the cards in your hand and when to 'discard' them. The cards that you discard will be replaced by another card as soon as you click on the "Deal or Draw" button.
To a person who is new to the game, video poker may seem to be similar to either slot machines or any other game of poker. However, the ones who have a deeper insight to the game will know that are two distinct qualities that differentiate this game.
First of all, the house advantage of just .46% in the game of video poker is much lesser as compared to any other game. This is very meager as compared to roulette and slots where the house advantage is in the range of 1% to 5.26%. Online video poker is a game that needs a good balance of challenge, luck and surprise.
If you want to play this game, it is recommended that you opt for one of them that is mentioned in the list put up by the editors of Gambling City. Ensure you benefit from the bonuses that are awarded exclusive to players who access it from this website.
Playing the game of video online poker
A little poker knowledge coupled with the tips for playing slots will help you get started with the game of online video poker. The objective of the game is to make the most of the five cards that you get as soon as the cards are dealt. You can win by replacing the cards as you discard them. If you want to know about the betting, game flow and rankings associated with this game, ensure you reach out for the guide from Gambling City.

(The headstone of Elijah Bond)
Edgar Allan Poe, arguably one of the most famous writers in American history, only wrote one novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Published in 1838, this novel relates the story of the sea adventures of a young man, Pym, who survives several close calls with death including a mutiny, a shipwreck, a lifeboat, and a tribe of treacherous natives. Although the book was presumably hugely influential on the writing of Herman Melville's Moby Dick and Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, the novel is not read much today and is often not even mentioned in English classes studying Poe's short stories. Poe, himself, did not care for the novel and even referred to it later in his life as "a very silly book."
In one episode of the book, Pym is left stranded with three other people after their ship had capsized in a storm. After many days awaiting rescue without sufficient food or water, Pym and his shipmates agree to cannibalize a cabin boy named Richard Parker. In 1884, forty six years after the publication of Poe's only novel, a ship capsized in a storm and left without enough to eat or drink, the four survivors chose to eat one of their own in order to survive, a cabin boy named Richard Parker.
Although the coincidence between the story Poe wrote in his novel and the story of the real life cabin boy with the same name seems pretty far-fetched, it serves to underscore the fact that strange occurrences do happen, and they happen more often than we probably imagine. Given that billions of people have inhabited this planet throughout history and that billions of people continue to inhabit this planet today, even when the odds of something occurring are extremely remote, say the odds are only one in a million, the chances are pretty good that some random person will be there to take notice and tell others about it. And this, of course, leads to a very interesting rhetorical paradox: we understand on an intellectual level that from time to time very rare and random events are going to happen, but the mere acknowledgement that unlikely flukes happen is not enough to convince us to believe in the nearly impossible when someone tells us it has happened to them.
The problem, of course, is that whenever people tell us that they have witnessed firsthand something with only a remote probability of being true, we have to weigh the odds of the occurrence being true against the likelihood of the story teller having some motive to be lying. The credibility we afford others sometimes comes at the price of our own credulity. Not every far-fetched story is the truth; not every seeming whopper is a lie. The aptitude for discerning the difference between a trustworthy person telling us something the sounds incredible and a liar exploiting our desire to believe in something interesting and remote is a verbal skill that has challenged rhetoricians for more than 2,000 years.
Although Plato taught his students (including Aristotle) that rhetoricians were more interested in winning arguments than discerning "true belief," Aristotle diverged from his mentor and taught his own students that rhetoric had a legitimate role in helping people make up their minds when dealing with understandings that lie beyond what could be proved through scientific demonstration or philosophical fiat. Aristotle divided the way people devised to convince others into three basic modes: the use of logic (logos), the use of emotions (pathos), and the use of authority (ethos). When arguing through either logic or affection, the credibility of the speaker is not the primary engine that powers the persuasion; for Aristotle, the issue of trustworthiness emerges from the integrity the speaker develops while talking with his audience. Since Aristotle's time, rhetorical theorists who have studied and reflected upon the power of ethos have learned to take the writer's (or speaker's) previous reputation into account when considering how credibility is molded by what different audiences thinks of them.
When people argue something from a position of authority, ethos typically works as a shortcut around the logical. This is to say, that if you trust in someone's authority, then you do not need their evidence or reasoning to believe what they are telling you. When you go to the doctor, for example, you might ask for an explanation for how she came to her diagnosis, but you are just as likely to assume that given your trust in your doctor's experience, you do not need to know how she came to her conclusions about your condition.
Unfortunately, in English (and many other languages for that matter), we do not have a good vocabulary for distinguishing between the type of authority that arises from expertise (such as a medical doctor) and the type of authority that arises from power (such as an employer who has the prerogative to fire you if you do not go along with what they are telling you). Power and expertise are not, of course, mutually exclusive and frequently people have an odd combination of both (such as a judge who is both an expert in the law and who holds the power to put you in jail).
As mentioned before in this blog, there is an important difference between having a reason to believe something and a motive to believe something. If, for example, your employer asks you to do something at work that you suspect is illegal, you have a motive (to keep your job) to believe your boss if she insists that what she's asking you to do is legal, but you may not have a good reason to believe her (based upon your own judge about what is and is not against the law). Just as we all recognize when someone is telling us something that sounds far-fetched could be a complete fabrication, we also need to recognize that sometimes people with power use that power to benefit themselves, and some authorities (especially those whose influence originates in power than expertise) have no more regard for the truth than the storyteller who relies upon our gullibility to go along with a shaggy dog story.
Who we choose to believe must come from a persistent consciousness of the factors that make other people credible. Whenever someone is telling us something that goes against what we think we already know ("Wow, that sounds pretty unlikely" says the voice in our head), then we need to consider both what we already know about that person (not just, perhaps, what merely makes them popular, wealthy, or famous but the aspects of their character that would strengthen our perception of their integrity) and what we might suspect their motives are for telling us the information that runs against our own experience or common sense.
In returning to my weekly theme of considering the nature and reality of the paranormal or the supernatural, let's see how this type of rhetorical thinking works with Ouija boards. Today Ouija boards are a trademarked product of Parker Brothers (a subsidiary of Hasbro), which is the same toy and game company that makes Monopoly, Clue, and Sorry!. Ouija boards, however, have a long and complicated history dating back to the late 19th century, and about the most we can say definitely about their origins is that the first person to patent the Ouija board was an attorney named Elijah Bond. How much Bond actually had to do with the creation of the board is a matter of wide speculation since other "talking boards" or "seance boards" had been around for a least twenty years before Bond secured his patent in 1891. Although other companies had much greater success marketing Ouija boards than Bond's own company, it is amusing to note that Bond's own company was driven out of business due to the unfortunate associations that came to be attached with his company's logo decades after he started his company in 1907; Bond's company was called The Swastika Novelty Company and, yes, its logo was a swastika. If there were any real prophetic powers to a Ouija board, you would think that Bond and his coworkers would have seen that coming.
Today's Ouija boards glow in the dark, an innovation that in my humble opinion both adds to the spookiness of the "game" by allowing participants to sit in even darker rooms while still being able to read the messages and subtracts from the traditional charm of the aesthetics of the plain wooden board covered in letters, numbers, and simple "yes" or "no" answers. It is interesting to me that even the manufacturers of Ouija boards (whose name is supposedly derived from a combination of the French and German words for "yes") find it difficult to describe playing with the occult board and planchette as a "game." What other games can we think of have no scoring, competition, or even defined rules about what constitutes the end of the game? Presumably, participants know when a "game" is over when the board tells them it's had enough, but that kind of activity is, at least for me, difficult to classify as a "game."
Here, finally, is the rhetorical point I wanted to make about ethos and Ouija boards. Putting aside for a moment the issue of whether the boards are actually channelling spirits from the Great Beyond or are more likely the product of the participants subconscious intentions to freak each other out, let us – for the sake of argument – assume we somehow are indeed "talking" with invisible beings through these devices – why should we believe anything they tells us? Would you walk up to any random stranger (say at a McDonalds or a Walmart) and expect reliable information from them without knowing anything about them? Before we take to heart anything others have to tell us (whether they are "speaking" through a floating plastic disk on a game board, across a cash register, or via a platform at a political rally), don't you think it's kind of important to know what motivates their answers before you start letting them answer your questions?
Keep thinking rhetorically, folks, and I'll be back next week. If somehow I get run over by a bus in the next few days, you still know how to reach me, but do me a small favor and ask for some ID, okay?

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian army chief Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi gave the clearest indication yet that he will run for president, saying he cannot ignore the demands of the "majority", the state news agency reported on Tuesday.
Sisi, who toppled Egypt's first freely elected president in July, said "official procedures" concerning his candidacy were expected in the coming days. Sisi is widely expected to become president of Egypt, the most populous Arab nation.

Blog Boom or Bust
A Reuters article entitled "Has the blog phenomenon been blown out of proportion?" (via Adpulp) seems to take a dim view of blog infiltration into the wider UK population. It claims that "in a survey of British taxi drivers, pub landlords and hairdressers nearly 90% had no idea what a podcast is and more than 70% had never heard of blogging." These professions are often seen as a barometer of popular trends and even economic activity, which should make this survey highly relevant? Well not quite.
Whilst this offers an interesting perspective, there are a few points to bear in mind:
1. Yes there is always a habit of getting ahead of ourselves when a new technology appears. The internet and the subsequent bubble is a case in point. The fact that the internet is still here and has revolutionised the world is a compelling paralell to blogging, even if they maybe of a different magnitude.
2. The survey fails to recognise that there may well be an unseen osmosis of information from customer to service provider. For instance, I was in a taxi only yesterday and the driver happened to ask me my opinion of the new ipod nano he had just purchased, I nodded in admiration but mentioned reading various worrying reviews. The taxi driver did not ask where I had gleaned this information from, taking my words at face value. In fact, I recalled later in the day that the reviews I had seen were in fact from blogs. This is obviously a microcosm, but how many others are relaying information about products or services in the same way? This is where the survey completely misses the point.
3. Interestingly the survey was conducted by the DDB agency a unit of New York based advertising group Omnicom. Coincidentally they specialise in conventional mass media, so absolutely no hidden agenda there whatsoever!!

Did The National Enquirer Exploit Brook Shield's Mother?
Anything for a story. Right? Recent reports have surfaced regarding reporters 'signing out' Brooke Sheild's mother (who suffers from dementia) from an assisted living facility in New Jersey are disturbing– to say the least. The reporters were apparently from The National Enquirer and signed out 75-year-old Teri Shields to get a story for their tabloid.
Who can blame Brooke for being upset?
I intend to take every lawful action against all who were involved or who authorized this despicable act. My mother Teri Shields has been diagnosed with dementia. For her safety, she has temporarily been in a senior living facility, a very difficult decision for me. Late Thursday afternoon, I was alerted by [police] that my mother had been signed out of the facility by two reporters of the National Enquirer – who falsely claimed they were friends of hers.
What is a facilities responsibility to its residents?
Nursing homes have a duty to protect its residents both from harm that is self-inflicted as well as from harm from outside sources. Facilities should have a sign-in and sign-out policy in place to control visitors access to residents. Especially in cases of residents with Alzheimer's and dementia, facilities should have a list of authorized visitors approved by their person's guardian. Only approved visitors should have access to the person.

As I embark on a potential switch in careers while carrying our third child and wanting the best for him/her, I find myself simply torn. I battle with serious depression and anxiety, for which I am medicated, but the rift within me seems so much greater than any kind of medical diagnosis. I want the life of a mother raising her children in a focused and loving environment, but I would be devastated if not given the opportunity to use my intelligence and abilities.
Fortunately, we cannot afford for me not to work. While I find myself dreaming of the picturesque day when I could get in some writing before my children wake up, prepare a nutritious breakfast for them to feast upon, have a day lined out with brainwave enhancing activities for them to practice, and retire in the evening with three in the hay and a nice glass of wine in my hand, I know that this will not be a possibility in any near future of mine. I have married "under" me, which is a term that inherently seems elitist and probably is more than I would like it to be, but at the time of our marriage my husband had no college degree besides his Associates and worked in manual labor. I, on the other hand, came from a family in which both parents held masters in their fields and I personally was four months shy of my Bachelors. I graduated with honors and felt that I was smarter than he. In truth, I do sound elitist.
Work, though, is something I have to do because of my intelligence. I'm inquisitive and simply enjoy learning. If there was an occupation in which I could sit, listen, take notes, write papers based on all I've learned, and then hopefully be praised by others, I would take it in a heartbeat. There may be variations of occupations with these prerequisites, like being a Researcher, but to my knowledge no such job truly exits. However, that does not keep me from seeking a job that could definitely use these skills, these favors towards continual education. Work is a place where I can separate myself from "mother of three" and just be.
The rift that I previously referred to has grown stronger since the uncertainties have loomed larger. This rift caused me to ravenously search Amazon for a book that just might give me a glimpse into another woman's life, whom might just be experiencing what I was. Then I found it, a buoy in a sea to which I could hang on to and simply rest when the uncertainties chased me like the current. Samantha Parent Walravens compiled Torn: True Stories of Kids, Career, and the Conflict of Modern Motherhood which is a collection of stories from women all over the world who sent in their day-by-day struggles with balancing children and career.
I began reading the stories after one of my largest meltdowns I had had in awhile. After reading a couple of the true tales, my emotions swung like a pendulum to another side of peace, a place I could navigate knowing I was not alone. God had blessed me with a gift in Walravens' compilation and I am compelled to share it with women that I know could use it.
One such glimpse into a woman's life struck just the right chord. Lindsey Mead, in her story "A Foot in Two Worlds" talks about her prestigious Ivy League education being wasted when scaling back in the professional world to align herself with her family goals. Her fears resonate with me as I hope that one day I will be able to continue in my pursuit of my masters and doctorate in English and that my education and all the money I will spend to attain that education will be worth it and not a detriment to my husband and children.
I strongly encourage anyone reading this who may have the same fears and tears in her life to read this book. It is a fabulous look at what modern mothers struggle with in our society today. I pray it gives you the sense of peace it has offered me in these past few days. It might just give you some direction as well.

First of all to aid visitors of my website I am going to add another gallery to my photos section within the next few weeks. This gallery will be my latest photo additions to my website. The photos will be in this gallery for about a month, I'll post them at the beginning of the month, and then I will transfer them to their relevant galleries after that time. Doing this will save visitors having to view every gallery to see my latest uploaded photos, as long as they visit during the month.
My visits and recognisance of the river Tamar for Otters over the last few months has finally paid off. I have been informed by several people of sightings of at least two otters in a certain area. I have spoken to the land owner and have got the relevant permission to go on his land to photograph these wonderful animals. I will leave it a couple of weeks, due to my workload, and then I will be there on a regular basis, here's keeping my fingers crossed for the animals to still be there. If they are not then I'm sure I'll find other wildlife in the area to photograph like Dippers, Kingfishers and grey wagtails.
I have also located Dippers in an area conducive to photography. Previously I have spotted and watched dippers in a lot of areas around where I live but the river banks are covered in trees with low lying branches. This tended to reduce light levels drastically and I need at least 1000th of a second to achieve what I want. As per all black / brown and white birds you have got to get the right light conditions to get the correct exposure. If it's too bright and sunny then the whites gets blown out and if you get the whites right, using exposure compensation, then you lose a lot of detail in the dark colours. Also if it is too bright you get a lot of burnt out patches on the water. A bright but cloudy day is perfect because it solves both these problems by bringing the contrast down to a reasonable level.
We have a wonderful new visitor to our area. I was out the other night walking my dog and a Barn owl flew over the hedge just in front of me. I immediately switched off my headlamp so that the owl can keep its night vision and watched it quarter the Field using the backlighting caused by the lights of Tavistock. (It can take nearly an hour for owls to get their night vision back for hunting) I knew we had resident Tawny owls, as I have seen and heard them on several occasions, but this addition is most welcome. I have since seen this owl regularly throughout the night but mostly very early mornings on my way to work. The only thing that has surprised me is that every time I have seen it, it has been raining and I had been led to believe that barn owls do not hunt when it's raining as it messes with their feathers and it makes hearing their prey harder. Then again with the weather as it has been if they did not hunt in the rain they would starve. I have a horrible feeling that it is going to be a bad year for barn owls with all this rain; I really hope I'm wrong.
I saw a really sad sight on Monday morning on my way to work. I drove through this village which has a 20 mph speed limit. The road is very narrow and at times you have to go very slowly, less than 10 mph, to squeeze between two vehicles, one parked on each side of the road. On one such time there was a squashed hedgehog! My immediate thought was how could this happen, if you have to go slow anyway can't you just stop and let the thing cross the road or was the person responsible in too much of a hurry or they couldn't care less about the animal! There seems to be less and less of these wonderful creatures and mindless road kill only adds to the tally. My second thought was, it's the middle of January, what on earth is a hedgehog doing up and about at this time of year as it should be hibernating. There seems to be some strange things happening this winter.
An exciting thing has happened to me and it is a dream come true. Apart from having other dreams come true like marrying my beautiful wife, owning a 500mm f4 lens and a Canon 1D X, www.canon.co.uk/and moving and living on Dartmoor in Devon, I am now the proud owner of 6 acres of land on the edge of Dartmoor. These 6 acres is comprised of 2 acres of paddock, 4 acres of broadleaf woodland and part of the river Tavy which includes the fishing rights. My ultimate aim for this land is to turn it into my own private nature reserve where I can photograph wildlife without someone coming up to me and asking "what am I doing?" This is the start of a long term project that, I hope, will be completed by the time I retire in three years' time. When I say completed I'm talking about the basics. I know that this is a project with no end but I'd be happy with bringing the blue bells and other fauna and flora back that I know should be there. With this aim I have contacted the Woodland trust, www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/ and the Devon Wildlife trust, www.devonwildlifetrust.org/ and asked for some advice. The Woodland trust replied that they cannot give me one to one advice but they sent me quite a few documents to read which will help with my aim. The Devon Wildlife trust is sending their representative out to meet me and discuss what I should, and can, do to encourage wildlife to the land. I have already seen numerous birds including:- Buzzard, Jay, Blackbird, Robin, Chaffinch, Blue tit, Great tit, Goldfinch, Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Magpie, Crow, Nuthatch, Treecreaper and a Grey Wagtail. Animal wise there is a fox Earth on the edge of the paddock and apparently otters have been seen in the river. I am hoping to entice a lot more by planting "this" and taking out "that". The "this" and "that" will be decided by the lady representative of the Devon Wildlife trust and what I read within the documents.
Finally, I thought I was very popular since joining Facebook, www.facebook.com/robin.stanbridge.1. I have lots of notifications and when I say lots it is well over a hundred every day. These notifications state that so and so has mentioned me in a comment. I immediately thought why are all these people, who I don't know, talking about me? Therefore I checked out all these notifications and it turned out that the people had posted photos of, and mentioned, Robin's (the bird). Each time a person mentions "Robin" in a comment then Facebook thinks it should notify me! Therefore I am going to change my name to Jack. Please don't post on Facebook lots of photos of Jack Snipe!!!

I wanted to share this because it is the perfect "how to". It is easy to help me with my Khador list but you can only go so far and what happens when I am playing at NovaCon in a scenario that doesn't favor Caster kills?Generally in every list I like to have at least one answer to the following:
-Something to deal with high armor (AP, spell)
-Something to deal with mass infantry (some sort of AOE)
-Something to deal with high defense (combined melee attack, spell)
-Something to deal with stealth (spell, spray)
-Something to pick off solos (long range weapon, solo hunter)
-Something to deal with incorporeal targets (magic attacks)
-Something to deal with difficult terrain (piper, spell)
Can't always have something for everything, but good to keep these things in mind. Also, the other question is whether you want a list for just caster kill or a list for tournament scenarios, as I build differently depending upon the case.
This you a decent idea of what your army should have and what your holes are when you are done.

Working with Architects
As an independent UK importer of high quality bespoke Scandinavian windows and doors, Broxwood has a long history of collaborating closely with architect practices. Our extensive knowledge makes us well positioned to advise on product solutions that best match your client project needs.
- Independent importer
- High quality made to measure timber windows and doors
- U-values as low as 0.7
- Expert knowledge and advice
- Standard designs and special one-off designs
- Low maintenance products
- No min or max order
- 5 to 6 week delivery
Broxwood offers windows and doors with u-values as low as 0.7, all of which are built to exacting standards at one of three partner manufacturers chosen to match individual customer orders. Our wide choice of soft and hardwoods are all from certified sustainable sources and include, Nordic red pine, larch and oak. We also offer framire, which at just 9% more in cost than pine, is a high quality alternative to oak. Low maintenance aluminium cladding is available as an option on most products and for the more discerning customers, the AlpineMax range is hand finished to ensure absolute perfection.
Up to date knowledge
Partner with Broxwood and your practice will be assigned an individual account manager. Broxwood account managers have in-depth knowledge of the product range, together with the latest building regulations. And with so many possible combinations of timber, glass and finish to consider they are best placed to configure an economic deployment of Broxwood products through one of our manufacturers to perfectly match your project brief.
Lifetime value for money
At first glance, Broxwood windows and doors may seem expensive but unlike some alternative products, they are built to last. The timber is carefully selected and then prepared in a tightly controlled environment to reduce the moisture content to within 12%. The timber is then vacuum treated and allowed to further dry. Importantly the timber is sealed with the customer's choice of surface finish while still in the factory; ensuring the unit remains stable for its lifetime and requiring just occasional maintenance.
All Broxwood windows and doors come with a range of long warranties including a 30-year warranty on vacuum impregnation treatment designed to make the timber more water repellent and to protect against rot, fungal decay and insect attack.
Special design orders
Advanced technology allows complex imaginative designs to be readily translated to the manufacturing process. Some of these windows will be made from solid timber while others will be made from laminated sections specially made up to the radius or shape required. Windows can be made as either fixed or opening where possible. Special design windows are generally available in any U-value and can be fitted with a choice of glazing bars and finished in any RAL colour or stained to suit the style of your property. Alu-cladding may also be available depending on the design.
If you are developing a special design as part of a project you are welcome to contact us to discuss it in its early stages.
Supply and Fit service
Broxwood windows and doors are available as supply only or for small projects Broxwood will supply a qualified fitter anywhere in the UK.
Any size order
Whether it's a single window for a small renovation or 1000+ units for a development, Broxwood is the perfect project partner. Delivery times are as fast as five weeks. On larger orders, deliveries are staged to tie in with the developer's schedule.
Section drawing downloads
Broxwood can provide technical drawings for our various timber and alu-clad windows and door types for architectural use.
E-mail newsletter for Architects
We would like to keep in touch with you. Sign up for our e-newsletter and we'll occasionally email you to keep you to inform you about new products and relevant news about windows and doors.

Julian Medina's newest sensation, Tacuba, is channeling heat from an assortment of peppers across the menu, including adobe-marinated Salmon a la Talla, succulent braised suckling pig carnitas with an orange habanero salsa, and a roasted stuffed poblano. The chile relleno de quinoa, a roasted poblano pepper stuffed with quinoa, kale, and mushrooms served in a light tomato sauce with crema and queso fresco, showcases traditional Mexican flavors and innovative technique for a dish that highlights both fresh and fiery flavors.
In a pan over medium heat, sauté the onions, thyme, oregano, garlic, and habanero in olive oil until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Add the tomato purée, sugar, and some salt to taste, bring mixture to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Bring a medium saucepan filled with 4 cups water to a boil. Add the uncooked quinoa and some salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature; fluff with a fork. Add in the pico de gallo, and stir until ingredients are well mixed; salt to taste.
In a different sauce pan over medium heat, sauté the mushrooms and kale in olive oil. Add in the lime juice. Sauté until the vegetables are warm and thoroughly cooked, salt to taste.
Combine the sautéed vegetables with the quinoa over low heat, add the queso fresco and leave on teh heat until cheese melts. Stir the ingredients together until well mixed.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Thoroughly wash each pepper then blacken them on a grill at medium heat for about 3 minutes. Make sure to turn the peppers a few times to ensure even cooking. When the peppers have softened and their skins are blistered, remove from the grill and place in a large resealable bag to cool, about 5 minutes. This method makes the skins easier to remove.
Once cooled, carefully peel away the skins. Then open the pepper by making an incision from the pepper's stem to bottom tip. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and veins.
Stuff each pepper with the quinoa filling, then sprinkle extra queso fresco, and pour a generous amount of tomato sauce over top. Place in the oven for 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven. On each plate, place one stuffed chile. Garnish with Mexican crema and fresh queso fresco.

Just like the tin miners in Cornwall had their pasties, farm workers in Northern Mexico and Southern California had their Burritos. The name dates back to the late 19th century would take Burritos to work with them and leave in the sun to warm up. Before the Burrito they would have had Tacos but these weren't as convenient to carry around.
Fast forward to 2017 and the Burrito has been rediscovered. All of the fresh ingredients are still there and chilli sauce is still a very good option, but gone are the animal products. There really is no need anymore to harm animals in order to make the most amazing, healthy Burrito.
You'll need a block of Seitan to create this or some of our (soon to be released) Seitan Mince. If you have a block simply grate it into a frying pan (no oil) and dry fry for 3-4 mins. Prepare your fresh ingredients be it salad as pictured here but you can also use rice and beans, mixed vegetables or anything you like.
Spread some chilli sauce on the tortilla (or another sauce if you don't like spice, or have it without sauce), add your ingredients and wrap away. When cooked (or re-heated as it is already cooked) the grated Seitan will become slightly crispy which gives the Burrito real bite.
This is an amazing way to not only enjoy Seitan, but also to get all of the nutritional benefits from it and the fresh, possibly raw, vegetables or salad that you have with it. The options of how you serve it and what you serve it with are almost endless.

Targets of FBI raids say they won't testify before grand jury
Anti-war activists whose homes or offices were raided as part of an FBI terrorism investigation will refuse to testify before a grand jury as ordered, a show of defiance that could land them in jail.
Some of the anti-war activists won't testify because they don't want to be complicit in what they see as an attempt to stifle freedom of speech and assembly, said Jess Sundin, whose Minnesota home was raided.
"We feel like the reason we're being called and we're being looked into is because of our very legitimate and constitutionally protected work in the anti-war movement," she said.
The homes of two other longtime Minneapolis anti-war activists, Mick Kelly and Meredith Aby, were also among those searched last month.
On Tuesday, peace activists protested outside federal buildings in Minneapolis and in Chicago, where the grand jury was to convene.
"We will not be silent," Stephanie Weiner told protesters...

Minneapolis, September 24, 2010. The many faceted local peace community rallied quickly to protest and to act against the FBI search and seizure of 6 homes of peace activists and a local peace office. Computers, cell phones, files and records, passports were among items swept up in the early morning raid. This action came a few days after the FBI's Inspector General criticized the FBI for lying to Justice Department about raids and surveillence of peace groups after 9/11. see - Washington Post The 5:30 rally turned out several hundred concerned citizens who heard the first-person stories of the searches...

In the wake of the 2008 presidential election, I remember often hearing that we had seen the realization of Dr. King's dream. The finality of that statement should have always given us pause... complacency is what we have to fear, it is what my generation must fight.
A lot has been said in the last two years. A lot of what we hoped for has seen resistance; critical pieces of legislation like The Dream Act and the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell have faced temporary defeat in the halls of the United States Senate. We've seen obstructionism and political gamesmanship at the expense of assistance for millions. We've witnessed the legitimate economic concerns of the nation exploited to stoke fears and encourage division. We've watched divisive tactics manifest in ugly ways to encourage going after a demographic, or a community center, or a President who doesn't look like his predecessors...
While those voices may have been louder than ours, I'm confident that they don't speak for the majority of us. We are One Nation working together, and on October 2nd we'll be one nation marching together.
If you hear this message, then join us us on October 2nd in Washington as we insist with passion and vigor that yes, we are still out there.

Peace Movement Adopts New Comprehensive Strategy
Last week 700 leading peace activists from around the United States met and strategized in Albany, N.Y. ( http://nationalpeaceconference.org ). They discussed, debated, and voted for a comprehensive new plan for the coming months. The plan includes a new focus and some promising proposals for building a coalition that includes the labor movement, civil rights groups, students, and other sectors of the activist world that have an interest in ending wars and/or shifting our financial resources from wars to where they're actually needed. The full plan, including a preface, is available online.
The plan includes endorsements and commitments to participate in events planned for Detroit on August 28th, and Washington, D.C., on August 28th and October 2nd, as well as a national day of actions led by students on October 7th, and a week of anti-war actions around the country marking the start of Year 10 in Afghanistan on October 7-16. Dates to put on your calendar now for 2011 include mid-March nationally coordinated teach-ins to mark the eighth year of the Iraq War and to prepare for bi-coastal spring demonstrations the following month, New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles mobilizations on April 9, 2011, and blocking of ports on May Day.
Here is the full list of actions agreed upon: read more ....

Call for National Action for Peace in Afghanistan
Today, President Barack Obama announced his plans to send another 21,000 troops to Afghanistan: he is girding the nation for a long and costly military occupation there. While he also made some good statements on increasing diplomacy and economic aid to Afghanistan and Pakistan, the emphasis is clearly on military operations. Predictably, the Pakistan and Afghan factions of the Taliban are already uniting to oppose our escalation of troops. As the spring fighting season approaches, only one thing is certain -- more death, destruction, and misery in a desperately poor country that has had little respite from war for decades.
Here in the U.S., Obama's escalation in Afghanistan and the continuing occupation of Iraq threaten our nation's urgent economic and domestic agenda. Now is the time for more diplomacy, not more war!
United For Peace and Justice calls for immediate action for peace in Afghanistan. Here are three things you can do:
1) Call the White House today ? 202-456-1414
Make sure President Obama knows that you disagree with his plans to send more troops to Afghanistan. Call the White House comment line at 202-456-1414 between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM ET.
2) March with UFPJ on April 4!

Epic Games, which has been sued by Silicon Knights, isn't very happy. VP Mark Rein said that his company has done nothing wrong and Epic has now filed a counterclaim against Silicon Knights stating that SK has misappropriated Epic's technology and won't pay. More within after jump...
Wow, they now they want ot sue them "Epic is claiming that SK has made unauthorized use of Epic's Licensed Technology ".
SK Vs Epic: 1-1
This is going to be a wash. Neither company winning? Sounds like EPIC didn't deliever the product on time and that Silicon Knights took some Unreal code. They had better just settle out of court.
wow next gen is awesome, game devs show realistic human petty behavior
Epic does seem to make a point if silicon knights promised to use the unreal engine on all their future titles.
But because they didn't get the support from epic they developed their own engine apparently using unreal engine technology.
seems to me that epic is going to win this one.

It's probable that most individuals will not have the requisite capital available to acquire a property and also renovate it. However, if you can afford it, there are definite advantages to buying or taking a mortgage on the property. The financial burden will be considerably heavier than just renting but it may also be easier to raise investment capital if you own the bricks and mortar. Over time, you may or may not see an increase in value of the real estate, but at least it will always be yours.
Renting is the direction that most people take. This involves you signing a lease with a landlord for a term that might be anywhere between 5 and 15 years, at an agreed rent based on a cost per square foot plus requisite property taxes, property maintenance and other municipal obligations. At all times you should be aware that you are renovating the premises at your sole risk. If the business should not succeed and you cannot pay rent, the landlord will be within their legal rights to prevent you from operating.
