Photo Credit: Jenna Butler 1 Pumpkin Spiced Tea Cocktail Think of this one as a grown-up and sexy drink for all you devoted PSL lovers out there. Creating a concentrate encapsulating your favorite flavor has never been easier than now with Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spiced Rooibos Tea. Pair it with bourbon, sweet maple syrup and a hit of orange liqueur, and you've got yourself a party. Anise kicks up the spiciness and depth of the drink. Serve this one chilled.Read more: Pumpkin Spiced Tea Cocktail Recipe Photo Credit: Jenna Butler 2 Sweet and Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Seeds Roasted pumpkin seeds with a little salt are delicious on their own. But actually scraping out the pumpkin, cleaning the seeds and roasting them in the oven? Who has time for that? Cut out these messy, time-consuming steps by going with Trader Joe's In-Shell Pumpkin Seeds. They're already salted and roasted. Simply add your own holiday flair to the mix by flavoring the seeds with bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup and spicy nutmeg, ginger, allspice and cinnamon.Read more: Sweet and Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe Photo Credit: Jenna Butler 3 Pumpkin Hummus Hummus and veggies crudite at a holiday party? Healthy, yes, but you won't be winning any style points with this one. Up your game by adding pumpkin three ways: canned, seeds and spice -- and win all the style points by serving it up in a hollowed-out pumpkin. Serve this delicious dip with veggies or whole-grain crackers.Read more: Pumpkin Hummus Recipe Photo Credit: Jenna Butler 4 Stuffed Hot-and-Sweet Peppers These hot and sweet cherry peppers actually look like little red pumpkins. These guys throw some major heat but have underlying sweet notes too, making them complex and delicious. The goat cheese helps to soothe the heat (although they still aren't for the faint of heart), and the roasted pistachios add salt and crunch. They're incredibly easy to prepare, but your guests don't have to know that, do they?Read more: Stuffed Hot-and-Sweet Peppers Recipe Photo Credit: Jenna Butler 5 Gourmet Winter Cheese Board Elevate your cheese board with pumpkin butter, fontina cheese, pecan pie filling and manchego. Sounds difficult and pricey? It doesn't have to be. By adding in a few surprising but delicious items, you can make everyone at your party think you're a pairing connoisseur who has spent a fortune on this appetizer. You can find other delicious, easy spreads and cheeses at your nearest Trader Joe's, including fig jam, eggplant and garlic spread, apple-pie cheddar and more.Read more: Gourmet Winter Cheese Board Recipe Photo Credit: Jenna Butler 6 Butternut Squash Soup Shooters You'll be thrilled to know you don't have to host a full, sit-down dinner to serve this elegant soup. Soups make a great appetizer, and the ease of this recipe will save you tons of time. Incorporating leeks and thyme and topping with creamy goat cheese will add flavorful complexity. Your guests will feel extra special with their own individual serving.Read more: Butternut Squash Soup Shooters Recipe Photo Credit: Jenna Butler 7 Apple Cider Cocktail This little sparkler will kick off any holiday party. The ginger brew adds a bite to the sweet and spicy honey crisp apple cider, and the vodka helps get things warmed up. Apples and whole cinnamon sticks are used in this recipe, but you can swap these out for pears, cranberries or star anise. Rim the cups with cinnamon and sugar for a finishing touch.Read more: Apple Cider Cocktail Recipe Photo Credit: Jenna Butler 8 Sweet Fig and Goat Cheese Crostinis Picking up already sliced and baked crostinis saves you from having to make them yourself. And adding in goat cheese already sweetened with honey saves you even more time with this recipe. Simply top each crostini with fig slices and garnish with thyme and a drizzle of thick balsamic glaze.Read more: Sweet Fig and Goat Cheese Crostinis Recipe Photo Credit: Jenna Butler 9 Sweet Potato Dip and Pumpkin Chips There's nothing like roasted sweet potatoes, but roasting them can take about 30 minutes -- and we're not even counting the cleanup time. Skip all of that with these ready-to-go roasted sweet potato wedges. Blend them with tart, protein-rich Greek yogurt, spicy chipotle and a touch of honey to create a decadent yet healthy dip. It's delicious paired with whole-grain pita chips. Or, if you want to up the holiday theme, opt for Trader Joe's pumpkin tortilla chips.Read more: Sweet Potato Dip and Pumpkin Chips Recipe Photo Credit: SkylarShankman/iStock/Getty Images What Do YOU Think?

The air is starting to cool off and the summer is coming to a close for us Americans. I have to say, I'm totally ready for it and so are my French bulldogs. A lot of the music that has come out lately has been perfect for ushering us into the chill; let's see if we'll be listening to today's new music while watching the leaves change.
Margaret Cho — Cho Dependant (Clownery Records)
There are about 100 reasons why Margaret Cho gets today's top spot up in this piece. Firstly, I have loved her since All American Girl, collected her stand-up comedy routines and seen her doing burlesque live. Secondly though, and perhaps more importantly, this isn't just a comedy album — the songs are crafted well and if this album had been made when I was little, I am almost positive my mom would have had me memorize it so we could sing it together in the car as though we were the raunch Judds. I suppose the tunes should be good considering the list of talent she's got singing with her including Tegan and Sara, Fiona Apple, Ani DiFranco, Meghan Toohey and Rachael Yamagata.
JP, Chrissie and The Fairground Boys — Fidelity! (La Mina/Rocket Science Ventures)
Coming in at a close second is this highly unexpected collaboration from Chrissie Hynde and JP Jones. Chrissie's voice is one of the most distinct in rock and roll and I would follow it almost anywhere. This album was written and recorded as a way to express their love for one another even though they've established that they can never actually be together. It's a tragic story that I'm sure we can all relate to in some way. If you are a fan of the Swell Season, you will most likely enjoy this album.
Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan — Hawk (Vanguard Records)
Remember when Belle and Sebastian had a female singer? Well that was Ms. Isobel who ended up leaving the band in 2002 for personal reasons. She released some solo albums but none of them (including her work with Belle and Sebastian) have made as much musical sense as this collaboration with Mark Lanegan (formerly of the Screaming Trees). The contrast of her soft whispery voice with his gruff, deep rasp works perfectly on this folk-blues masterpiece.
Fantasia — Back to Me (J Records)
The American Idol star is releasing her third album just as she is recovering from an overdose of Aspirin and sleeping pills. Hopefully her record sales will give her a nice boost of self-esteem and she can get back to doing her R&B thang.
Katy Perry — Teenage Dream (Capitol)
Ugh I can't lie — I'm actually bummed that I have to include Katy Perry on here at all. This album is the most generic and formulaic pop album I've heard probably ever. I'm sure I'm offending some of you, but I can't — in good conscience — endorse this.
Honorable Mentions: Antony & The Johnsons (perfect for fall!), !!! (perfect for when you want to dance in the fall and get sweaty!), Ra Ra Riot (strings!).
That's all for this week lovers — who did I miss? Don't forget to come back tomorrow for another installment of Your Weekly Women to Listen to.

Residents work to rebuild small Kansas community
By CARL MANNING
The Associated Press
FRANKLIN, Kan. - When a massive tornado hit this southeast Kansas community in May, it destroyed about a third of the homes and leveled the community center and post office. Many figured that was it for Franklin.
But the Franklin Forever movement isn't ready to hang it up. Its members are working to rebuild the unincorporated community and make it better than before.
"We have a common goal -- to rebuild Franklin and get it back on its feet. We're all trying to keep the small-town spirit," said Phyllis Bitner, who grew up in Franklin and still lives in the area.
In the 1930s, Franklin was a Crawford County coal mining town of nearly 1,700 with stores, shops, a school, a church and a saloon. Seven decades later, all that remained was the post office, community center and about 500 residents in 150 homes.
When the twister struck the afternoon of May 4, within seconds there were 50 fewer houses, and the post office and community center were leveled.
The same storm continued into southwest Missouri, destroying large parts of Pierce City and Stockton.
"It opened up a lot of eyes to see what they lost. If any good comes from this, it's the reuniting of people and the desire to get it back," said Veda Maxwell, who moved to Franklin from Chicago a decade ago.
She said the community will grow because it's an ideal place for those who want to work in Pittsburg, about 10 miles south, but raise a family in a rural area.
Some residents, including Catherine Lovelady, said the post office and community center are essential for community survival.
"Without those things, we'll probably just dry up and blow away," said Lovelady, who has lived in Franklin 15 years and has no plans to move.
John Houck has been spending a lot of time working to restore the town, including finding grant money. But he shuns the label of community leader.
"In a small community, everybody just steps up and does what they can," said Houck, who grew up in the area and moved back last year after being gone 45 years.
Just about all that remains of the post office is a concrete slab and a flagpole with an American flag flying like a lone sentinel. A drop box was installed at the site so people can deposit mail.
"We want the post office because we don't have a place to get the daily news in the community. It's the identity of the town," Houck said.
Postal officials haven't written off Franklin -- ZIP code 66735.
"We want to maintain a presence in Franklin, but we don't know what the time frame will be," said Richard Watkins, spokesman for the Postal Service's Mid-America District in Kansas City.
"We aren't looking to abandon any of our small offices, particularly when they are damaged."
Dating from the 1920s, the 4,000-square-foot community center was the place where people gathered for meetings, family reunions, wedding receptions, dances, funeral dinners and bingo.
Plans call for a 4,500-square-foot replacement, and Houck said there are two federal grants to help pay for it. Now it is an empty lot and a sign that says "Future Home for Franklin Civic Center," but he hopes to have it completed by the end of 2004.
Some of the original wooden dance floor was salvaged, and Bitner said she would like to make it part of the new floor.
"If people can walk in and step on this floor that their grandparents danced on, it gives you a connection to them," she said.
Bitner set up a Web site that chronicles the community's history and hopes. She also designed two pins to sell, along with T-shirts to help raise money for the rebuilding project.
Most of the homes destroyed were in the middle of the community. All that remains are a few foundations in an open field rapidly overtaken by weeds. Houck said 11 families who lost their homes have moved back.
Hank Pichler's home of 47 years was among those destroyed. Wooden stakes outline where his new house will be, which he hopes will be ready for him and his wife to move in by Christmas.
"It's a great neighborhood, maybe a little too quiet now. People think we're crazy to rebuild because we're so old, but to us it's home," said Pichler, 77.
Houck said a key component to revitalizing the community is a $2 million sewer system that has been in the works for nearly seven years. It would be financed by a federal grant that Houck said the community expects to get in about a year.
With a sewer system, Houck said, the next step could be constructing a small apartment complex for older residents so those who lost their homes could return.
"This is still home to them," he said.

Political & Civic Data
Are you working with addresses that you'd like to turn into coordinates and match with political or civic data? Whether you're working for a campaign, a newspaper, a non-profit, a public affairs effort, or even a non-political entity, you can easily turn addresses into latitude/longitude pairs (geocodes) and add political or civic data, all in one request. For example, you might...
- Have a national donor file and want to display a map of donors in particular Congressional districts
- Be working with a non-profit and need to get your volunteers' school district information quickly and easily
- Be working on a state-level public affairs effort and need to know which state legislative districts your petition signatures are coming from
- Have volunteers signing up on your campaign's website and want to store that data in your CRM as they sign up
With Geocodio, you can turn an address into a latitude/longitude pair and match it with Congressional districts, school districts, and/or state legislative districts at the same time. You can upload a spreadsheet, use our API for bulk requests (up to 10,000 records in one request), or use our API for transactional requests.
Unlike many other geocoding providers, there are no restrictions with regard to how you use the data you run through Geocodio. Most geocoding providers forbid you from storing the data in a CRM system or require you to display the data publicly on their branded map. Geocodio has absolutely zero restrictions, so you're free to use the data as you wish. And since you can look up both the latitude/longitude coordinates and the political data with one request, you don't need to use multiple providers. Plus. you can upload a spreadsheet, making it friendly for developers and non-developers alike.
There are many other uses for political and civic data. If you're wondering whether Geocodio would be a fit for your needs, please email us directly.

Sept. 13 (UPI) — Rebel Wilson has been awarded $3.6 million in her defamation case against Bauer Media after magazine Women's Day published articles stating that the actress lied about her name, age and childhood.
The judgement comes after a unanimous jury found Bauer Media guilty of defamation in Australian court in June. Wilson's lawyers, while speaking to CNN, said the amount is the "largest defamation damages award in Australian legal history."
During the case, Wilson and her lawyers argued that the articles were inaccurate and damaged her reputation which caused her to lose two roles, E! News reported.
Wilson announced the end of the court battle on Instagram Wednesday alongside a photo of herself surrounded by photographers as she exited the courthouse.
"When the jury delivered its verdict they answered every single question in my favor," the Pitch Perfect star wrote as part of a long post that mentions how the release of the articles was timed with the release of Pitch Perfect 2 and was based on claims made by an anonymous source.
"It was important for me to set the record straight, especially because I have so many young fans. I also feel like it's important to stand up to bullies," she continued. "I have been awarded a record sum from Justice Dixon. I will be putting that money to good use by donating it to charity and investing in an Australian film."
"I'm looking forward to getting back to entertaining everyone!"

I'm curious, though, why they were even able to buy the statues in the first place? Strange.
When Nansen came back from the bathhouse, he saw the monk in charge of the bath stoking the fire. Nansen asked, "What are you doing?" The monk answered, "I am making the bathwater warm." Nansen said, "Don't forget to invite the water buffalo to take a bath." The monk said "Hai!" ["Yes!"] In the evening, the monk came to Nansen's quarters. Nansen asked, "What's up?" The monk said, "Venerable Water Buffalo, the bath is ready." Nansen asked, "Did you bring a leash or not?" The monk had no reply. When the Master [Joshu] came later to greet Nansen, Nansen mentioned what had happened. The Master said, "I have something to say." Nansen said, "Fine, but have you brought a leash with you?" The Master dashed forward and grabbed Nansen by the nose. Nansen remarked, "Okay, but it is too coarse!"

Stop being so simple minded. I'm all for women wearing what they want but you cannot say that some of the clothing doesn't pull emotional strings in men which then could lead to criminal acts in some cases?
So the government are responsible for Sexual assault now?
.. I'm trying to work out why Muslims would use this dress code and from what I can gather, its to take a mans temptation, lust away..
I wonder how high the divorce rate is in Iran compared to Western countries?
Your country may be free but it doesn't mean it is solving the problems that arise.
Muhammad's (pbuh) first step was to destroy the idols which were stored in Kaba (the cube which Muslims circle around.) He did what ecactly other prophets would have done in that place.
So , Iranian govt is stopping people from worshiping idols
And those who have problem with that , would have problem with Moses who destroyed the golden cow statue.
I wouldn't worry about it buddy, all we seem to have here are racists who cannot respect the laws and religious views of another culture.

Ratpacked: Create a Partial Response
Suppose we want to support partial JSON responses in our Ratpack application. The user must send a request parameter with a list of fields that need to be part of the response. In our code we must use the value of the request parameter and output only the given properties of an object. We implement this logic using a custom renderer in Ratpack. Inside the renderer we can get access to the request parameters of the original request.
Grails Goodness: Pass JSON Configuration Via Command Line
We can use the environment variable
SPRING_APPLICATION_JSON with a JSON value as configuration source for our Grails 3 application. The JSON value is parsed and merged with the configuration. Instead of the environment variable we can also use the Java system property
Ratpacked: Using Groovy Configuration Scripts As Configuration Source
Ratpack has a lot of options to add configuration data to our application. We can use for example YAML and JSON files, properties, environment variables and Java system properties. Groovy has the
ConfigSlurper class to parse Groovy script with configuration data. It even supports an
environments block to set configuration value for a specific environment. If we want to support Groovy scripts as configuration definition we write a class that implements the
ratpack.config.ConfigSource interface.
Spicy Spring: Using Groovy Configuration As PropertySource
We have many ways to provide configuration properties to a Spring (Boot) application. We can add our own custom configuration properties format. For example we can use Groovy's
ConfigObject object to set configuration properties. We need to read a configuration file using
ConfigSlurper and make it available as a property source for Spring. We need to implement two classes and add configuration file to support a Groovy configuration file in a Spring application.
Ratpacked: Handling Exceptions When Reading Configuration Sources
To define configuration sources for our Ratpack application we have several options. We can set default properties, look at environment variables or Java system properties, load JSON or YAML formatted configuration files or implement our own configuration source. When something goes wrong using one of these methods we want to be able to handle that situation. For example if an optional configuration file is not found, we want to inform the user, but the application must still start. The default exception handling will throw the exception and the application is stopped. We want to customise this so we have more flexibility on how to handle exceptions.
Groovy Goodness: Customise Log AST Annotations
Adding logging support to a class in Groovy is easy. We can choose to add SLF4J, Log4j, Log4j2, Apache Commons or Java Util Logging to our class. The default implementation of the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) transformation is to add a
log field of the correct type. As category name the complete class name (including the package) is used. We can change the name of the field with the
value attribute. To alter the category name we use the attribute
Groovy Goodness: Turn A Map Or List As String To Map Or List
In a previous post we learned how to use the
toListString or
toMapString methods. With these methods we create a String representation of a
List or
Map object. With a bit of Groovy code we can take such a
String object and turn it into a
List or
Map again.
Groovy Goodness: Represent Map As String
Groovy adds to
Map objects the
toMapString method. With this method we can have a String representation of our
Map. We can specify an argument for the maximum width of the generated
String. Groovy will make sure at least the key/value pairs are added as a pair, before adding three dots (
...) if the maximum size is exceeded.
def course = [
name: 'Groovy 101',
teacher: 'mrhaki',
location: 'The Netherlands']
assert course.toMapString(15) == '[name:Groovy 101, ...]'
assert course.toMapString(25) == '[name:Groovy 101, teacher:mrhaki, ...]'
As mentioned in a previous post we can use the
toListString method to represent a
List as a
def names = ['mrhaki', 'hubert']
assert names.toListString(5) == '[mrhaki, ...]'
Written with Groovy 2.4.7.

Fairfield, CT (PRWEB) September 04, 2014
The former co-host of "The View" Joy Behar brings two nights of standup comedy to Fairfield Theatre Company's StageOne at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27 and Sunday, Sept. 28.
Whether Behar is performing standup or interviewing celebrities and politicians, one thing is for sure: she is an innovative comedic talent and a leading woman on television, stage and the big screen.
Behar began performing as a comedian in the nightclubs of New York City in the early '80s. She earned increasingly positive reviews for her routines at such prominent clubs as Caroline's and Catch a Rising Star. It was during the late '80s that Behar would land her own Lifetime variety series, "Way Off Broadway," and her world would change forever.
Behar continued to support herself and her daughter with her comedic work throughout the next decade, touring comedy clubs and appearing in films, including "Cookie" with Peter Falk, "This is My Life," and Woody Allen's "Manhattan Murder Mystery." Behar became a dominant figure in the entertainment world and soon found herself hosting a popular call-in radio show on New York's WABC.
Behar, however, missed the comedic roots that had made her a household name, and soon returned to the comedy club circuit. Her stellar act won her a co-hosting gig on the new ABC daily morning talk show, "The View," launched by television newswoman Barbara Walters. Three days a week, Behar joined co-hosts Star Jones, Meredith Vieira and Debbie Matenopolous (later replaced by Lisa Ling) for the show's mixture of celebrity interviews and chat sessions. Walters appeared on the other two days.
With its unusual hosting format (five women from varied backgrounds and generations), "The View" quickly gained popularity among TV viewers and critics, earning several Emmy Award nominations. Behar and her co-hosts continued to thrive on "The View," but like all good things, it eventually passed. In the spring of 2013, Behar announced that she would be leaving "The View" after 16 years on the legendary series. Behar was the last of the show's original hosts to depart.
"I need a different kind of life," she told TV Guide. "I have so many other things to do! I want to write, do stand-up, maybe do Broadway, do acting roles and live my life without this daily regimen. I'm done! It's scary that 16 years have passed."
Now the famed comedian and talk show host comes to make her Fairfield Theatre Company debut at StageOne doing what she does best: making people laugh. Join FTC as they welcome this dynamic comedic talent to the intimate StageOne for two nights which promise to have those in attendance splitting their sides with laughter as Joy Behar brings her comedic stylings which made her famous to Fairfield County.

I play online poker, and I used to bet on politics on InTrade. I'll take most wagers, either side, if I feel the odds are reasonable.
The problem is, due to regulations, funding online poker sites and InTrade is a pain in the ass. Our government has a silly attitude towards gaming.
As such, I can't wait for Cantor Fitzgerald to open up its real-money, moving-futures trading platform, the Cantor Exchange.
The Cantor Exchange is the outgrowth of the Hollywood Stock Exchange, a play-money site the firm bought nine years ago. Near the end of April, it's finally going real money, having experienced various setbacks, including 9/11 (Cantor Fitzgerald was devastated in that attack), as well as the thicket of regulatory bureaucracy.
The basic idea is simple.
Every movie that comes out will have a tradable "share" to to speak, whose value will end based on the four-week opening box-office haul. So, for example, if a movie does $100 million in four weeks, the share will end at $100. The trading begins four months before the movie opens, and from then on, traders buy and sell the shares, based on how they think the film is going to do.
With any luck, the Cantor Exchange will appeal to three groups of folks: Studios (looking to hedge their exposure to films), hedge funds (who want to speculate on films) and normal folks, who want to trade films like they do stock.
Earlier this week, we got a tour of the site from President Richard Jacobs, who picked up the project in 2007.
Here's what we learned, and here's why we're going to get insanely addicted to this market >
If you do get into movie trading, we HIGHLY recommend you get into this book.

Thankfully, Shannon Elizabeth Will Reprise Her Role As Nadia in American Reunion
The gang's all returning for the fourth installment.
Although conspicuously absent from American Wedding (and only momentarily present in American Pie 2), Shannon Elizabeth has signed on for American Reunion, the upcoming American Pie fourquel. Elizabeth, of course, is reprising her role as Nadia, the hot Czech exchange student she played to critical acclaim in 1999's American Pie. (American Reunion features the whole crew — Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Chris Klein, Eugene Levy, Tara Reid, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Jennifer Coolidge, and Mena Suvari — returning to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion.) Elizabeth was reportedly "one of the last holdouts from the original cast." Probably making salary demands. Give her whatever she asks for! [Deadline]

NBA Players Would Be More Wealthy, Independent Without "Owners"
February 3, 2012
Lebron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant et al. would all be billionaires if Federal
Reserve System Did Not Exist.
The NBA Lockout finally concluded on December 8, 2011 after what turned out to be a comedic display of greed and privilege. But I'm not talking about the players…I'm talking about the so-called "owners."
This latest NBA Lockout has roots back to June 30, 2005. On that day, the workers ("players") and money-movers ("owners") agreed on a 6-year extension of the collective bargaining settlement reached in 1999. That settlement came after the NBA lost games for the first time in its history due to a labor dispute. The workers made major concessions for the settlement to happen, including acceptance of a rookie salary cap and a maximum salary for players. The cap on salaries came one year after Michael Jordan, arguably the best ever at his craft, made $30 million and $33 million in this final two seasons (1997-98) after averaging only $3 million per in his first 11 seasons. Both sides wanted to avoid another public relations disaster and quickly reached a 6-year deal in 2005 which player retained 57 percent of basketball-related income for salaries, while the "owners" got their wish of an age-limit for draftees.

Scythe Katana II Review
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 02/05/2007 10:01 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
Pro-Clockers posted a review on the Scythe Katana II
The cooler that is getting the facelift today is the Katana. This line of coolers has seen three previous models prior to this new one. There was the original Katana, and then with the introduction of the Intel socket T, the Katana 775 was released. And finally for the performance enthusiast the Katana CU was announced. Today, we have the Katana 2 which boasts a whole new life as well as some other additions. How will the new Katana stack up with some of the newest coolers we have tested lately? Lets have a look.

I've been teaching with Comprehensible Input and TPRS® for 14 yearsnow, and the method has come a long ways since those earlier days of seven steps! Our current three-step focus on establishing meaning, providing input and reading makes it easier than ever to get your students (or yourself!) to acquire a new language almost without effort.
But Chinese is different from Spanish, French, and those other languages commonly taught with TPRS®. We have tones to worry about, both to remember and to perform correctly. We have a writing system that is not phonetic at all to a beginner, and which requires the recognition of thousands of unique symbols before something as simple as a newspaper article can be read and understood.
Most TPRS® workshops are general -- they are aimed at all language teachers. And most world languages present a different set of challenges. Presenters commonly explain and demonstrate how to teach conjugations and adjective agreement -- but they don't mention how to get kids to speak with tones, or how to actually teach reading when none of the words "look like" the sounds the student has been hearing.
As a Chinese specialist, I focus on providing innovative solutions for teaching and learning Mandarin using Comprehensible Input. Tone problems? Try the TOP (Tonally Orthographic Pinyin) romanization system, with its multimodal marking of tones, or delve into directional gestures for a kinesthetic component. Having problems getting kids to read fluently? Cold Character Reading will change how you look at Chinese texts forever.
Poke around the site, see the latest innovations in CI for Chinese, and take your Mandarin teaching or learning to the next level with Comprehensible Input!

Recently, I received an e-mail from a friend in Canada. We were introduced to each other by a mutual friend in Houma, who thought we'd be compatible because we seemed to have the same interests. We both have huge families, in addition to sharing other interests.
In this particular e-mail, I realized we have yet another thing in common: We both enjoy silence, for the same reason. After having so many children, we feel we've been through enough screaming, yelling and other noises to last a lifetime. Silence is precious after living through all that noise.
My husband wonders why I turn off the television set when no one is in the room. I mentioned that to my friend and explained that I didn't do that to conserve electricity, but rather to conserve my sanity. If my beloved goes outside, or leaves the room, I'm bolting for the remote to turn it off.
I'm not the most popular person in the house should he return quicker than I expected him to return. I think men love their television sets more than women love chocolate.
Mark Twain did a great job of explaining a pause: "The pause — that impressive silence, that eloquent silence, that geometrically progressive silence which often achieves a desired effect where no combination of words, howsoever felicitous, could accomplish it."
Now, I need somebody to tell me exactly what he meant by that last word — "it."
Take a little time for a pause, and continue reading.
I like to get e-mail messages. Some I open excitedly; some I open hesitantly; some I delete gladly. Guess which ones I delete gladly. It's all those e-mails I get telling me someone is looking for me in order to give me $1 million. I'd be a multimillionaire if those held any truth. I guess I'm either stupid for not replying, or I'm incredibly smart. I'm a firm believer that nobody gives anybody something for nothing.
I think they just want information from me that they could use against me in some way later on. So, without even blinking an eye, I think I'm incredibly smart.
There are some messages I open excitedly. Some of those come from friends and relatives sending me news and photos of friends and family members. Some of them are inspirational messages. Some are like the one I received recently telling me about why my friend in Canada likes silence.
Some I open hesitantly because I'm not sure what they'll contain. Lately, I've been getting a lot of politically oriented stuff. I may start to open it thinking it's important, but very soon I hit the delete key and get rid of it.
Campaigns are getting worse and worse. Nobody seems to discuss issues any more. It's more like a herd trampling a poor little rabbit unable to get out of its way. The really good guys don't stand a chance.
They won't stoop to such tactics, so they don't make the news. If they don't make the news, they don't get financial backing — and without that they can't win.
Just the other day, I got a live one. I jumped at the opportunity to tell him I hate those kinds of campaigns and to please not call me again. I was quite noisy that time.

Absent from the British Isles, this lichen has only been recorded once from sea cliffs in County Down 150 years ago. It resembles L. albescens but the slightly lobed thallus (to 1cm diam.) which has a habit of disintegrating in the middle, tests C+ pink to red (not C+ orange) and is UV-. Now believed extinct, but look out for it on steeply sloping north-facing limestone cliffs.

Oh hey there, remember me? The avocado lady that used to blog once a day?
*Sigh* So I'm super busy with my student teaching – and the thing that kills me is that I'm still cooking just as much. I just have no time to take pictures (It's dark when I get home!) or upload anything. This blog used to be my little escape and now I'm trying to escape the guilt I have for neglecting it! Ah well, such is life. You know what really cheers me up though?
I found this amazing recipe for a flax meal bread – and I KNOW this is technically not whole 30 approved but really I don't care. In any case, I'm not craving bread – I just wanted something to put (my new favorite!) tuna spread on and my god is it delicious.
I found this basic recipe for a flax meal focaccia and added sun dried tomatoes and green olives into the dough… Fantastic. Simply fantastic!
Let's not forget about the reason I've eaten about 7 cans of Skipjack tuna this week:
I love meat spreads. (Ha – ha). Seriously, I've been going to town on a liver pate I made this week and in my opinion all poultry should come in a creamy spreadable form. Just like this tuna.
And yes, these pictures are taken on my bed and SO WHAT!? My kitchen table is covered with lesson/unit plans so you know what? The bed it is! Anyway, a word to the olive haters out there: GIRL IS YOU CRAZY?
But actually, the olives add such a nice strong flavor to this tuna – if you don't like them either leave them out or skip this recipe. But really … give it a try! So incredibly tasty you'll start a tuna addiction like yours truly and empty out the fish market.
Tuna Spread Ingredients:
- 2 Cans Skipjack tuna (low in mercury!)
- 1/4 small onion
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/4 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
- 1/4 – 1/2 (depending on your tastes) cup pitted black olives
- 1 t mayo
- 1-2 large cloves garlic
- handful of parsley
- Throw everything in a food processor and mix!
- Spread on foccacia, fingers, spoon straight into mouth … you get the drift 😀
Flax meal Focaccia: Ingredients
- 2 cups ground flax meal
- 2-3 egg whites
- 4 eggs
- 1 T garlic powder
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes
- 1/2 cup pitted black olives
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Add water, olive oil, garlic powder and eggs to flax meal. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whip egg whites till they for stiff peaks. Gently fold into mixture.
- In a lined baking tray, pour in mixture. Run a spatula (or your loving hands) over the mixture and flatten it to about 1-1.5 cms thick. I found that putting parchment paper over the whole thing and then pressing down with my hands helped.
- Sprinkle with additional garlic powder if desired and top with tomatoes and olives.
- Back for about 20 minutes and thank me later 🙂

IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

ABC Green-Lights John Ridley's Crime-Drama Pilot
It's titled American Crime.
After receiving a Golden Globes nomination and, let's keep it real, an almost certain Oscar nod, 12 Years A Slave screenwriter John Ridley continues his victory tour with a pilot order for American Crime, a drama he will write and executive produce for ABC. The show focuses on a racially charged murder and its effect on those involved in the crime and subsequent trial, all of which means we very much look forward to seeing Ridley at the Emmys in 2015.

The Daily Mail and Telegraph seem to think so. The latter also went with "Obesity can be caught as easily as the common cold, say scientists" as the headline, along with this cracking photo:
The research comes from Pennington Biomedical Research Centre in Louisiana, where a team lead by Professor Nikhil Dhurandhar found that chickens and mice infected with an adenovirus gained more weight than their uninfected brethern, even when given the same amount of food.
Adenoviruses are commonly known as a cause of respiratory infections. The particular virus in question is known as human adenovirus 36 or AD-36. In a previous study published in 2005, Dhurandhar found that whilst 11% of non-obese adults carry the virus, the figure shoots up to 30% in the obese population.
Does this mean that the easily-spread virus is responsibly for obesity? Well, whilst the team's research showed that cells infected with AD-36 absorbed fat more easily, it can't be the sole cause – after all, only 30% of obese adults are infected.
The Telegraph article soon backs down from its inflammatory headline (no doubt added by some hapless sub-editor), with quotes from numerous people questioning the claim. Dr Ian Campbell, a GP and medical director of the charity Weight Concern spells it out:
"A virus will never be the reason for why we have an obesity epidemic.
"There are far too many other factors, starting with our calorie intake exceeding our expenditure, and that's because we live such sedentary lives.
"Our dietary habits have changed beyond belief and I don't believe that's the effect of a viral infection – it is the fault of the commercial expansion of companies making unhealthy foods."
So, whilst AD-36 could be a contributing factor, the most important aspect of weight gain is simple. To butcher Dickens:
"Daily calorie expenditure two thousand, daily calorie intake nineteen hundred, result happiness. Daily calorie expenditure two thousand, daily calorie intake twenty-one hundred, result misery"
In other words, it's the same old boring advice; eat less, exercise more.
As an aside, it's interesting that David over at Sciencebase notes that Dhurandhar has been chasing the "obesity bug" for over a decade, seemingly trying to replicate the medical paradigm shift that occurred after the realisation that peptic ulcers were caused by bacteria, and not stress as previously thought. Scientists are people too, and like everyone else they have their own personal agendas. One to look out for, I think.

Let's Just
"On March 16th, each of us will mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses our SUPPORT to him. And we, in vast numbers, from all corners of the world, will overwhelm the man with his popularity and hope for success. We will show the media and the politicians what standing against him — and with us — means. And most importantly, we will bury the White House with our support as US citizens for the office of the Presidency.
Each of us — every American from every working class, each congress calling citizen, every boy-cotter, volunteer, donor, and petition signer — if each of us writes even a single postcard and we put them all in the mail on the same day, March 16th, well: you do the math.
No media deception or disingenuous leftist politician will explain away our record-breaking, officially-verifiable, warehouse-filling flood of faith. Hank Aaron currently holds the record for fan mail, having received 900,000 pieces in a year. We're setting a new record: over a 1.5 million pieces in a day, ringing with nice things to say.
So sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and see if your sincerest well-wishes can pierce the media's famously thin skin.
Prepare for March 16th, 2017, a day hereafter to be known as "the call of patriots" !!
Then, on March 16th, mail your messages to:
President Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
It might just be enough to drown out the awful, despicable, display we see in these protests ! The media just might take notice !!!
Copy, paste, and share widely !

Why are we sending postacrds that support amending obamacare and keeping ALL of the parts we hate in place? Send a postcard and say "Rhino Ryancare is NOT what Trump campaigned and promised us and we will NOT lie again for him in 2018 and 2020. Deliver on ALL of your promises including REPEAL and REPLACE Obamacare!
Remember the part of Obamacre where you lose your employer based healthcare as soon as you change plans and you are forced onto the exchanges? Will the republicans enforce that clause? The Chamber of Commerce is amongst the few supporting this and it would be in the interest of businesses to not have to pay out huge premium amounts - businesses can easily change our plans, we have to go into the exchanges and they don't even give us a raise to cover the outrageous deductibles and premiums. The metal chips and end of life planning and many more sections are intact for the republicans to continue or a democratic president and their HHS secretary to re-implement in a few years. This is a bait and switch to A Better Way and Preibus and Ryan have you chasing the press while they keep us in HIGH frontloaded deductibles and HIGH premiums. And for anyone on medicare - BEWARE - there is a section of A Better Way where Ryan combines Medicare Part A and B and combines and frontloads your deductibles to around $1300 so if you are healthy, YOU will be paying for most of your doctor visits and tests until you hit $1300 rather than your current deductible of a couple hundred dollars. IF Ryan is already hiding this healthcare bill and passing it in the middle of the night while we are sleeping, do you trust Ryan to not slip this into the final bill? And remember that if you are 50-60 then your insurance premiums WILL increase 5x and calculations show that will average around $400 to $600 a month - can you afford that along with the $6000 front loaded deductible? And why are you sitting quiet and telling Trump you support being punished with a 30% increase in your premium for dropping insurance for 2 months when you were promised freedom to choose whether or not to take insurance. This IS a mandate even worse that Obama put on you yet you will cheer Trump for supporting this?
Unless you listened to Tucker Carlson on 3/8 you will not know that Price has ADDED a regualtion to your health insurance. It is the biggest mandate of all and boxes every American into buying insurance. Ryan let it slip that Price has already enacted a regualtion to REDUCE the time you will be signing up in the exchanges you will remain in. And then the rest of the year NO ONE will be able to buy insurance even if they get sick!!! Remember under Obamacre, HHS regualtions are NOT voted on in congress so this IS in effect. But Ryan doesn't even tell us if it takes effect now, next month so will you be the first burned when you don't take insurance but your wife gets pregnant or a family member gets cancer and Price, Ryan with the approval of Trump say NO insurance for you and too bad we didn't tell you?
I am not antiTrump but insurance and obamacare is NOT Trump's strength. Just like Rick Scott has no interest in education, this is Trump's area that he just wants to sign something to get on to taxes. Trump has talked to every group about this except the middle class especially people in the healthcare industry whose savings and standard of living will be affected!
We have one chance to wake up Trump and get him away from Preibus, Pence and Ryan who are lying when they say they are repealing OBamacare. They are AMENDING Obamacre NOT repealing yet rthewy assume we are too stupid to read and see the truth. Ryan hid the ways and means part of the bill and didn't put it on his website? Why because it shows how much more complicates the tax sysytem becomes and their true intention to AMEND and keep Obamacare in place.
Remember when we fought Obamacare - as soon as it came out of that first senate committee thanks to 2 republicans Snowe and Collins, we couldn't stop it!!! Don't blindly follow Trump and trust him to not sign a bill that only amends and keeps your high costs. Don't trust an plan that takes 3 stages and requires democrats to pass relief and open up state lines - it's never going to happen and Ryan will never bring a bill to the floor that the democrats will defeat. TODAY Price can statrt removing the regulations that are hurting us yet he is waiting for part 2 - WHY keep all of us struggling????? Unacceptable! And why are they not telling us what regualtion Price is keeping and will we be denied input like he did with this first part. Remember doctors are not the best experts on how Obamacre affects you - they pop in and out during office visits and while you are in the hospital, their wives usually write the checks and handle the bill paying in their business and their office managers and billers are the experts on insurance. Nurse practioners and nurses along with biller and office managers and people who are owners of small physical therapy and medical businesses are the people who need to provide input - if Trump had held a focus group with these people along with every day middle class Americans, then he would have gotten a different answer - NO to Ryancare! Why didn't Preibus, Pence and Ryan listen to us as well instead they are bullying us into an amended worse form of Obamacare!
We were PROMISED REPEAL for 8 years, we worked every day to get them elected to REPEAL - hold Trump accountable like Bannon said - "If we aren't keeping our promises let us know."
Send the postcards addressed to Bannon and Trump and tell them REPEAL AND REPLACE! THe White House website says they listen quicker to emails - here's the link https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact
We MUST stop this now - the congress is NOT listening and Trump has promised to campaign against and oust all of the nonestablishment congress people we have worked so hard to get elected and stand up for us. Do you want David Brat, Steve King, Sanford, Cruz,Lee, Paul, Meadows, etc. ousted and Ryan, Scalise, McCarthy, Preibus dictating our lives because they know better. I didn't vote Trump/ Ryan and I NEVER supported Ryan's A Better Way. If I knew Trump was introducing A Better Way, I NEVER would have walked over 500 houses and called hundreds of homes. This bill is NOT Trump's plan and I LIED to all those people just like all of you did!!!!


text: Release Date: 24/10/2008 (For Europe) In Disaster: Day of Crisis, it's not just the forces of nature you'll be fighting. As ex-marine Ray Bryce you'll also be waging a one-man war on a group of elite soldiers holding the government to ransom. To take them down, you're going to need to make sure you are packing some seriously heavy-duty artillery. When the action first kicks off, Ray will be depending on the most basic of firearms to get past the bad guys. And while it's enough to get him out of a tricky situation or two, you'll quickly realise that tackling an organisation with the military might of SURGE is going to require you to get your hands on something more powerful. To pick up new weapons and power-up the ones you already have, you'll need Battle Points, and the way to earn these is to prove you're a crack shot with the firearms you already own. This can be done between levels in the game's Shooting Range. Once you're on the Shooting Range – which could be based anywhere from a back alley to the heart of the jungle - you'll be set a variety of challenges. You might have to take out a certain number of targets with limited ammo or blast your way through targets before time runs out. Whatever the aim of the challenge, successful completion will usually unlock a new weapon for you to purchase. You'll also earn the precious Battle Points you need to buy those new weapons and upgrade your old ones. Once you're ready to improve your arsenal, the Buy and Upgrade Weapons option will grant you access to a huge range of firearms arranged in a 'weapon tree'. To buy certain weapons you'll have to already own other weapons connected to them in the tree – ensuring you don't pick up something that's too hot for you to handle before you're ready for it! Don't worry though, until the most powerful weapons become available, you can always spend your BattlePoints maxing out your current gear and improving their power, accuracy, aiming, magazine size and reloading time. Before every level you'll choose four weapons to take into battle, switching between them whenever you like in order to adapt to your predicament.
