We summarize the updated set of multiphase chemical evolution models performed with 44 theoretical radial mass initial distributions and 10 possible values of efficiencies to form molecular clouds and stars. We present the results about the infall rate histories, the formation of the disk, and the evolution of the radial distributions of diffuse and molecular gas surface density, stellar profile, star formation rate surface density, and elemental abundances of C, N, O, and Fe, finding that the radial gradients for these elements begin steeper and flatten with increasing time or decreasing redshift, although the outer disks always show a certain flattening for all times. With the resulting star formation and enrichment histories, we calculate the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for each radial region by using the ones for single stellar populations resulting from the evolutive synthesis model POPSTAR. With these SEDs we may compute finally the broad band magnitudes and colors radial distributions in the Johnson and in the SLOAN/SDSS systems which are the main result of this work. We present the evolution of these brightness and color profiles with the redshift.

Djemal Pasha, Minister of Marine of Turkey in 1917: "We will make the Jews suffer the fate of the Armenians"
This is a transcript of an article written in London on 8 May, 1917 and published the following day in the Australian daily newspaper The Age (1).
When you will read it, you will notice (once again) that historical documents always confirm the official Israeli narrative and destroy the anti-Zionists' propaganda.
This article is so explicit that it does not require any analysis or comment on my part. It smashes to shreds at least two false statements:
- One says that Jews lived in perfect harmony with Muslims in Palestine before the restoration of a Jewish state in 1948.
- The other pretends that "colonization" and "occupation" are responsible for the conflict. But in 1917, there was no colonization, no occupation, no State of Israel, no occupied East Jerusalem, no blockade or apartheid, or any other nonsense manufactured and maintained with the active participation of the left and the media.
Driven from Palestine – Helpless Fate of the Jews
Zionist organizations in New York have received advice from Palestine that the Turks are driving the Jews from their homes amid scenes of looting and pillage.
Djemal Pasha*, minister of Marine, is reporter to have declared that he will make the Jews suffer the fate of the Armenians.
Eight thousand Jews have been drivent from Jaffa. Some who resisted were hanged. Three hundred were expelled from Jerusalem. Many crawled towards the desert and died.
The "Jewish Chronicle" published awful details of the desperate condition of the Jews in Palestine. It states the Jews are being forced to leave Jaffa, though Mahometans and Christians are permitted to stay.
The Jews of Jaffa, totaling 8000, have not been allowed to take away any of their belongings or food. The houses are looted even before the owners leave. The roads for Jaffa are lined with thousands of starving Jewish refugees.
Many wealthy Jews were found dead on the sand hills, evidently victimes of robbery and murder. When the Jews organized bodyguards to watch the roads, the Turkish authorities immediately imprisoned the guards.
The Age, May 9, 1917
* Ahmed Jemal [Djemal, Cemal] Pasha (1872-1922) was the overseer of the Armenian Genocide.

Adding Value to your Home
A conservatory is a pleasure to spend time in for all sorts of reasons. It's especially exciting when newly built and it has the same appeal to potential home buyers, who will often regard it as a house's key selling point. Although you should always take advice from an estate agent before you invest, many will advise you that good quality conservatories can add £5,000 to £10,000 to the value of your home as soon as it's complete, and is likely to be worth even more over time.
With such great recommendations, what do you need to consider? The first thing is to make sure you buy a good quality product that will stay looking good as the years go by. The second is to think about style - something with wide appeal that complements your house will usually end up boosting its value by more. Thirdly, location, location, location! A south facing conservatory is always a stronger selling point, though you should also think about what affords the best view. When it comes to advertising your home, this can make a big difference.
The Advantages of Conservatories
Even if you don't want to move in the immediate future, increasing the value of your home with a conservatory can have big advantages. Effectively increasing your equity, it can give you more financial flexibility - and, of course, you're getting value from it all the time as you spend time in it. But if moving isn't an immediate plan, think carefully about how you decorate your new room. Don't use carpets or wood dyes that will fade in the sun and lose their appeal. Look for a product that isn't going to be challenging to maintain in good condition.
Every home looks brighter and more beautiful with the addition of a well-chosen conservatory. It's an investment you're unlikely to regret. Due to their intelligent and modern design, all of our conservatory styles offer you a living area that you can enjoy all year round, no matter the weather. This means that you'll be warm and cosy on a cold rainy day, and you'll be cool and comfortable on a hot summer afternoon. Tried, tested and trusted, our conservatory styles are sure to satisfy across the board.
A Range of Conservatory Styles
To make sure you get the perfect style for your home, we offer three distinct conservatory styles; Classic, Designer and Performance. Each of these conservatories offers their own unique standard of quality and aesthetic, which means you'll be able to bring the ideal new addition to your home. It won't matter if it is traditional, modern, period, heritage or new build, we'll have a conservatory that suits.
For your complete peace of mind, all of our conservatory styles are accompanied by an Ultraframe Certificate of Authenticity to indicate their quality and performance. We also project manage and handle any 'red tape' throughout the installation to ensure a smooth and efficient process across the board. It's never been easier to enjoy an unrivalled standard of quality that cannot be found anywhere else in the industry.

How did you get your start in the industry? For some it's drama school, others start with a technical theatre course, and some find their way in by getting on the job experience in casual roles. I found my way in through work experience, while sleeping on my sister's floor, and just being in the right place at the right time when a job came up.
Everyone in roles across the performing arts and creative industries – from entry level to senior leadership positions – started in different ways. It seems no two career paths are the same.
There are now 1.9 million jobs across the creative industries, including theatre and the performing arts. This workforce has helped the UK's creative industries to be world-leading – and worth an impressive £84.1 billion a year to the UK economy.
But we know that routes into and through a career in theatre and the performing arts are complex, which must make it hard for anyone not from a theatre background to break in. And as the Confederation of British Industry (the CBI), and the UK's Create Together strategy has said, if we're going to continue to be successful, this sector needs to be more accessible and open to young people from diverse backgrounds.
Also, in the last few years the job of running and managing theatres has changed dramatically. Directors like Indhu Rubasingham and Max Stafford-Clark have spoken about the potential for a skills gap to appear within the next five or ten years.
So it's essential that we plan to have the right workforce, drawn from a broad talent base, to keep theatre and the performing arts thriving into the future.
That's why we're now working with Nordicity (a specialist arts, cultural and creative industries research consultancy) in association with Alistair Smith of The Stage, to look at the landscape for theatre management and technical skills. From careers advice, entry level roles, progression routes and mid-career development, the research will consider the training needs of the sector's future workforce.
We also want the work to give full consideration to how improving entry and development routes might also improve diversity across the workforce.
You can help – by completing these surveys. Your response will help to provide a much needed look at the requirements of our growing workforce.
And once you've done it – share the link with your network. The more people that contribute, the stronger the findings will be.
We're expecting to publish the research report in early 2017, and will use the findings to work with Government and employers to ensure a resilient and relevant theatre and performing arts sector.

Taleb: Debt Problems Are Worse Now Than in 2008
Nassim Taleb speaks to the issue I have been addressing here for two years, namely that the problem with our financial system is debt. There is too much of it. And all the stimulus in the world won't solve that problem. The debtors either have to pay the debt off or default. Until they do, systemic risk heightens economic fragility.
You can use stimulus as a way to control the deflationary impacts of the inevitable defaults, but the stimulus we have seen to date is not designed for that purpose. Rather, we have witnessed a transfer of private sector debts onto the public sector in an attempt to prevent recession and make the debt problem go away. Instead, what has happened is the debt problem has moved from the private to the public sector.
(video embedded below)
Despite what Taleb suggests when talking about sovereign debt auctions, surely being the creator of a fiat currency means government cannot involuntarily face insolvency in its own debt instrument – even in Japan where government debt to GDP is around 200%. As the second guest notes, sovereign government can and will print money. However, a private sector debt jubilee or private sector defaults would have made recovery in Japan much quicker, reduced fragility, reduced the misallocation of resources and increased economic growth.
Lee Quaintance of QB Partners who is an Austrian School proponent recently wrote me that he is arguing for a coordinated and global devaluation. He says:
Total nominal debt will contract shrinking the bounty of the rentiers while a flood of newly-digitized Federal Reserve Notes will enter the economy to boost hiring.
No hyperinflation there since it is global and co-ordinated. You will notice that Taleb inserts the hyperinflation canard into the conversation despite widespread signals of debt deflation and a gaping output gap. I'm not saying hyperinflation can't happen. I'm saying it is unlikely, especially when we have everyone looking to depreciate their currency at the same time. At a minimum, you need to eliminate the excess labour and capital supply. And were it to occur, deflation would surely come first. That's why the talk about Treasuries seems misguided.
The video below of Taleb and James Suriowiecki is also interesting. Taleb is right when he says volatility is a contrary indicator; low volatility means higher risk.

Sports Builds Character--posted by Tony Garcia on 9/16/2005
(H/T: Jon J)
This story shows us yet again how sports builds character (a common excuse by pro-stadium advocates).
Tampa Bay rookie fullback Rick Razzano was suspended four games Friday by the NFL for violating the league's policy on anabolic steroids.
Razzano, a seventh-round draft pick from Mississippi, said through the team that he tested positive for a substance he used in training before joining the Buccaneers. He did not identify the substance.
"I take full responsibility for my mistake and encourage all athletes to be fully aware of all substances which may be prohibited by the NCAA or their respective sports and leagues," Razzano said.
"I apologize to my family, my coaches, teammates, the ownership and Buccaneer fans for the embarrassment and distraction I have caused. Let my experience be a further lesson for all."
Razzano, a third-stringer who plays behind Mike Alstott and Jameel Cook, was inactive for last Sunday's season opener at Minnesota. He will be eligible to return to the active roster on Oct. 10, a day after Tampa Bay plays the New York Jets.
The suspension follows the arrests this week of reserve cornerback Torrie Cox and offensive assistant Jay Gruden, younger brother of Bucs coach Jon Gruden, on drunken driving charges.
Yep, 3 people busted in this story.

Well-Said: Five Essential Pieces Of Advice For Better Product Descriptions (And Why They Matter)
A guest article by Christina Coons, a professional digital marketer at Northcutt, an inbound marketing agency. She specializes in eCommerce, social media, and public relations, and spends her days helping brands succeed online.
Are the product descriptions on your storefront as good as they could be? Probably not. Here are a few things you could be doing better.
Digital storefronts have one glaring weakness when compared to brick-and-mortar locations, customers have to take you entirely on your word when you say a product is a good fit for them. Whereas in a physical store, they can pick up something and look at it, feel the fabric on a shirt, sniff the scent of a perfume, examine the weave on a rug online they've only your sales pitch. And if it isn't a good one, they're going to turn elsewhere for their purchases - that's inevitable.
It isn't just your customers you're trying to impress here, either. High-quality product descriptions are also a ranking factor. Google's made repeated advances over the past several years in that arena, to the point that today, it's value and relevance that makes you rank just as much as it is keywords - if not more so.
In other words, you need to take steps to ensure that you describe your products in a way that's not only relevant but compelling. You need to persuade people if they want to buy from you, but do so in a way that's both concise and aligned with Google's content guidelines. Today, we're going to talk about how you can do just that.
Write A Story For Your Ideal Customer
At the core of a good product description is the fact that it doesn't just describe what a person's buying in dry, boring terms. It tells them a story. It paints for them a picture of what the product can do for them, and compels them to learn more about it - or to purchase it outright. To that end, the most important step here is to define your buyer persona.
- Who do you want purchasing your products?
- What are their interests?
- How do they talk and think?
- What sorts of words and phrases do they find appealing?
- What's their situation - why are they buying from you?
- What objections might stop them from purchasing your product?
- What specific need does your product serve?
Focus on that last point, rather than on the product itself. A young man shopping for cologne to wear on a date has very different purchasing intent than someone who's looking to purchase a shirt for their husband's birthday, for example. A different description will resonate with him.
In other words, you need to shape your language so that it conveys the sort of personality your ideal buyer would find most intriguing. Talk how you feel they'd talk. Convey an understanding of your audience, or else your descriptions will fall flat.
Finally, try to convey the experience of using the product. What about using it is pleasurable? Put that into words. SEO Moz gives a good example of how to do this, and you can find a list of great example product descriptions here.
Make Your Benefits Clear Up-Front
I already mentioned that you need to focus on the need a product serves, rather than the product itself. To that end, the specific benefits of purchasing a particular item on your store should be immediately apparent, as should your product's features. While this isn't necessarily a part of the initial product description, a customer should be able to tell, at a glance, what it can do for them.
One word of advice I can offer here is that you create bullet points to appear somewhere on your listing, that combine the positive features of your product with negative features or glitches it helps them avoid (clothes shrinking in the dryer, screen glare on a smartphone, and so on). As noted by the neuromarketing blog, people tend to be risk-averse. If you can help them feel assured that purchasing from you means they avoid certain risks typically associated with the products you're selling, then you're in a good place.
Keep It Short and Sweet
Most people are probably going to be looking at your storefront from a mobile device. If your product description is a massive wall of text, they frankly aren't going to read it. Ideally, you want to be able to get the point across in around three to four hundred words though if you can do so in less without it appearing disjointed and confusing, definitely shoot for that.
You might also consider making use of short paragraphs, and bolded text to draw the reader's attention where you want it to be directed.
Offer Up Some Concrete Facts and Figures
Does your smartphone's screen have more pixels than major competitors? Do you have proof that the clothes you're selling are made of the material that's higher quality than the buyer can get elsewhere? Tell your customers about it.
If your product is really the best - or is at least objectively better than a leading competitor's - give a concrete figure to demonstrate that. For example, look at the description of the Amazon Paperwhite. The more astute among you probably noticed it doesn't call out any specific brands - and that's important, too.
You want to be careful that you don't step on any toes, lest you end up in a spot of legal trouble.
Avoid Filler Phrases, Duplicate Copy, and Keyword Stuffing
We've spent a lot of time talking about what you should do - I'd like to leave off with some advice on what you need to avoid doing. Remember how, with resume-writing courses, they give you a list of words to avoid like the plague? Writing a product description is a lot like writing a resume in that regard.
What I mean is that there are certain words and phrases which serve little purpose other than acting as 'filler.' When your customers read them, their eyes glaze over. They go from experiencing your product to simply reading a boring wall of text.
These words and phrases come in many forms:
- Jargon is industry slang that's difficult for your audience to fully understand. This one's a bit difficult to articulate, as knowing whether or not a buyer will know what something means requires you to understand your audience. A business leader, for example, will likely understand terms like 'drilling down' and 'minesharing,' but a teenager buying a smartphone might not.
- Overuse terminology like stunning, just, elegant, chic, "excellent quality," and so on. This one might require a bit of research, as they vary by industry.
- Keyword stuffing is a practice that should already be dead - it hasn't worked for nearly a decade now. Basically, if your product description includes twenty different ways to say the word 'shirt,' you've stuffed it with keywords. Sprinkle in a few keywords here and there, make sure they flow with the rest of your copy, and make sure they're phrases someone will actually type into a search engine.
- Duplicate Copy is exactly what it sounds like - it's something you copied and pasted from elsewhere on your site (or worse, elsewhere on someone else's). Don't do that.
Closing Thoughts
There you have it. You now know the secret to great product descriptions. Now get out there and start optimizing yours. And if you need a little help doing so, here are a few great Shopify plugins that'll aid you along:
- Easytabs lets you add tabbed descriptions to your products for greater ease of browsing and organization. Tabify offers the same functionality, as does Product Description Tabs Widget.
- The Product Reviews Addon allows you to automatically request a review for products from purchasing customers.
- Editorify streamlines the process involved in editing or updating existing product information.
- Product Labels helps you make your descriptions a bit more visually appealing with label images and calls-to-action.
Of course, there are plenty more out there, as well - have a look, and see if you find some that you like!

Hello all,
I have toyed with the idea of putting a five speed in my 404. It is a 1969 with a BA7 in it. A BA7/5 should pretty much just bolt right in, but I've heard from some friends in the US there are a few complications:
1. The speedometer cable is not the same for any release of the BA7/5 and the 404 dash. I've heard later 505's had a large square drive going into the speedo which maybe could be filed down to fit into the smaller square drive in the 404's speedo.
2. The shifter linkage wants to collide directly with the tail housing support on the transmission (the thing that holds those two rubber mounted blocks). Keep in mind, I'm in the USA, so its all Left hand drive up here.
I know in Argentina, the 404 Grand Prix had a BA7/5 in it, so maybe someone there could tell me how they got around this shifter issue.
Anyways, I thought I'd ask, does anyone have any experience doing this conversion? If you could give me a blow by blow of what it would take that would be much appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Edit: I'm actually not sure about the Grand Prix being a BA7/5, but I know they had floor shifts

I type this with my parrotlet, Ptak, sitting on my hand – an unprecedented behaviour. He is exhausted, having just been to see the Big, Bad Vet (hereby known as the BBV**). At the clinic, the BBV reached into the offensive tub of travelling and plucked him
gently out. Afterwards, Ptak was subjected to many humiliating practises, such as having his underbelly examined and being stuffed into a box to find his weight (30 grams on the dot!). When all was said and done, and he was returned stuffed back into the tub of travelling, he instantly set to preening his lovely, ruffled feathers.
**Everything regarding this experience is the view of the parrotlet, and not of related parties; the humans found the
Big, Bad vet to be very nice and knowledgable.
Our parrotlet has a clean bill of health! Despite his finicky eating habits and love of chowing down on paper, the vet assured us that he is not a sick bird in the slightest. And we humans learned a good deal of things, too. The thing is, if you have any doubts, questions, or concerns, going to an avian vet is your best option. It's far quicker and more reliable than sifting through the thousand and one differing opinions on the web.
So – the beginning of the appointment. Ptak's keel bone was fine; it's got plenty of muscle around it. He was put into a box to weigh him, the fidgety thing, and then examined. He has some stress barring on his tail feathers. Each bar apparently represents one day of stress – be it actual stress, fear, cold, or poor nutrition.
In case you're curious, here's how to judge if your bird is close to a healthy weight: put it on its back and feel gently down the centre of the body with one finger. If you can feel the faint jut of a bone along the upper belly – like a dull knife, surrounded by muscle or a little fat – you're good. If you can't feel it at all, your bird is overweight. And if it's sharply jutting, your bird is underweight and should probably see a vet. You can gently blow aside the feathers on the chest to check just how sharp/muscly the keel bone is.
We learned some interesting things about parrots and food, too – and from here, this post turns into 'how to make your picky bird eat vegetables.' First, a mix of seeds and pellets (and fruit/vegetables) is definitely ideal in a bird's diet. Harrison's is a recommended pellet brand. We also learned that seed mixes from most pet shops should be regarded warily. Here are some thoughts:
- Seed mixes are bagged by the shop themselves, often times, and so sit on the shelves for ages until you pick them up. These have no expiry dates.
- You can't guarantee what's actually in the mix. Many are filled with sunflower seeds and millet, both of which are fatty and addicting to a bird. They'll want literally nothing else!
- There could be unpleasant infestations. (Freezing the seed can help.)
- The pet shop bagged mixes are usually in clear plastic bags: the light in the shop reduces nutritive value. By the time a bag gets to you, the consumer, the healthy vitamins in the seed are pretty much gone.
- Boxed mixes are much better. They don't let in light, and have an expiry date and a guarantee as to what's in it.
- Sunflower seeds' shells (as well as peanut shells and others) can contain aspergillosis, a deadly fungus. It's best to find pre-hulled seed mixes.
A bird like Ptak will pick through its seed mix and eat its favourite bits – usually the fatty ones that mean easy, fast energy – just like a wild bird would do. These selective eaters see no reason to eat anything else.
To persuade them to eat the right things, there are things you can do. Obviously your bird needs to eat! When battling to get it on the right diet, you must offer your pet what it'll eat at some point, or it'll starve. A bird simply will not eat anything it doesn't recognise as food; watching you enjoy eating something is a great start. Often they'll want to try (and it's a good bonding experience if they do). Many parrots will also forage around on the floor, and a few conveniently 'dropped' scraps can help convince it that these things are tasty.
To start the complete conversion, our vet recommended feeding the seed addict his
crack-cocaine preferred seed twice a day: once in the morning and again in the evening, leaving the mix in for a hour each time. Feed less than you usually do, but enough that the bird definitely eats – perhaps a teaspoon each time.
This is not a training diet.
After, replace the seed bowl and its contents with fresh veg, fruit, chop, birdie mash, or other bird-safe foods. This way, the bird will hopefully turn to the healthy options, rather than filling up on seed as it usually would. Persistence is key. It can take months, the vet said, to persuade a picky eater to give up its 'addiction.'
In the meantime, serve up different things in different ways. Offer veg and fruit chopped, cubed, grated, whole, in strips, or hidden inside things. String them on bird-safe skewers, or put them in a bowl, mixed with small amounts of seed. If that doesn't work, you can even mix in some fruit juice or cool tea. Try everything, and if it fails, keep trying! That's what I have to remember with our parrots.
Biting is often caused by an inadequate diet. Imagine feeling malnourished, tired, and grumpy. This can all be fixed by changing the diet! You may have to tweak your parrot's diet many times before finding the right combination of foods and nutrition.
If you want to convert your picky eater to an optimal diet, make sure you consult your avian vet first. He or she will help guide you and probably (as with us) prescribe probiotics and vitamin supplements for the process.
The vet also talked about the importance of UV lighting and how it actually ties into diet and overall health. All birds, even ones whose cages are kept right by a window all day, get next to no UV light. They need several hours out in the sun for optimal health and beautiful feathers. For obvious reasons, going outside is not an option in the winter – or even at all, for some individuals.
So the recommended solution for every caged bird is to get a UV spectrum light. One per bird, ideally, as full spectrum light doesn't tend to travel much farther than a foot.
Benefits: a happier bird (who can now better process vitamins and minerals) with an overall improved mood. Less biting, screaming, and even plucking, if that's something you encounter!
Ultra violet also plays a part in the selective eating of our feathered companions. It's a known thing that birds see into the UV spectrum… to put it into perspective, the vet said that scientists think they can see over three hundred colours that we can't. To a bird that has no exposure to the sun, their inside world is black and white and grey. Boring.
The food in their dishes looks grey. They can't see the colours of it. How unappetising must that be? If your bird is a picky eater, putting in a UV spectrum light like one from this companycan help.
The parrots and other birds who get these things (UV light, proper foraging, cuttlefish and other supplements, good nutrition, exercise, and mental stimulation) live a lot longer than birds who don't. I'm really hopeful that we can get Ptak's diet back on track. I'll definitely keep this blog updated on my 'battle.'
Note: Remember, NO chocolate, alcohol, avocado (or guacamole), caffeine, dairy products, apple seeds, raw onions, garlic, or fatty/salty/sugary foods. If it's not healthy for you, it's not healthy for them.
And if you're trying to convert your peep, good luck. I'm right there with you.

I'm going to tell you about this now because theres a quite reasonable chance that I wont ever do this. I'm not being a nice guy letting you know this so you can go and make something out of it yourself. I'm doing this because I'm a attention seeking prick who wants everyone to give as much credit for stuff to him as possible and by stating this now I will have recorded the idea first.
Of course I'm not the person who first came up with this. I am the first person that I know of within my gaming circles that's mentioned it. All this can roughly be boiled down into a one word equivalent.
Collaborative Game Diaries.
You take a online game with a decent story and character progression and get a group of nice gaming people to create good unique characters. Play the game doing a regular game diary for your character, including all the times you team up with the other people who are doing their own characterized game diaries. Most MMO's would suck at this, there isn't enough story to make a interesting diary out of, everyone does the same stuff essentially. There are however games on the horizon which could let this be done very well. The main one I have in mind is Star Wars: The Old Republic. This would allow you to do something as rich in story, humor and emotion as, for example, John Walker's Bastard of The Old Republic quite easily. As far as we can tell at this point the story and progression would be exactly as detailed as that, but we'd also have these other people, with their own stories, and they have the ability to join in with your own story when you party up. It wont be great writing, but it'll be a new take on Game diaries, which hasn't really been explored as far as I can tell.
APB might also be a good candidate, as the collective story of a street gang or police department might be a fun read.
Anyway, we'll see what I'm up to when the time comes, when a game is release that allows for this I might still like this idea enough to try and rustle up a few people to do it with me. At least I'm safe in the knowledge that even if I never do it, someone will eventually and theres bound to be one thats really great, lets hope I find it when it's done. Lets hope I'm the one who does it.

But I digress.
If you guys have any suggestions or comments about the new layout of my blog (sorry about the lack of "Recipes" page, I needed to revamp it anyway. Besides, there's a handy new "Search" option in the top right there so you can find different recipes in the meantime there). I'm super excited for this week!
For those who have no idea what's going on this week, I made myself an event called MACARON WEEK! This week I'm going to post a different flavour of macarons per day until Saturday, based on the ones you voted on a couple weeks ago. The winners of the poll were:
- Peanut Butter
- Nutella/Hazelnut
- Lemon Poppyseed
- Rosewater
- Salted Caramel
- Raspberry Dark Chocolate
- Lavender
- Swiss Meringue Buttercream from Beantown Baker
- 4 oz egg whites (3-4 of them)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 lb unsalted butter (I used about 450g), room temperature
- 2 tsp lemon extract
- Adapted from Lemon Curd from My Kind of Food  (you can use the egg yolks from the SMB)
- 3-4 egg yolks (depending on what you had used above)
- 1/3 cup sugar (add more if you like it a bit sweeter. I like sour things)
- juice from 2 lemons (about 1/2 cup)
- zest from lemons
- 4 tbsp butter
- To make the buttercream (from now on referred to as SMB), gently stir the egg whites and sugar in a metal mixing bowl over a pot of simmering water. Remove once the sugar has dissolved (it'll be kind of tepid and if you rub the mixture between your fingers you won't feel any granules of sugar)
- Using a whisk attachment (or just a whisk), whip the meringue on medium-high speed until doubled in volume. It should be around stiff peak stage, or if you can't tell, then it won't slide around when you tilt the bowl. Switch to the paddle beater instead of the wire whisk.
- One by one, add chunks of the butter (1-inch/tablespoon chunks) and beat until incorporated. If your icing is kind of pukey looking, take about 1/2 a cup of it, heat in the microwave for about 20 seconds until liquidy, and then stream it back into the icing while beating the rest of it. Your butter was probably too cold going in. HOWEVER, if your mixture is too liquidy, put it in the fridge for about half an hour to cool down the butter and try beating it again.
- Add the lemon extract and poppyseeds and beat on low until incorporated. Transfer to a piping bag and store in fridge.
- To make the lemon curd, stir egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice over a pot of simmering water until thickened. It'll coat the back of your spoon.
- Add the butter, tablespoon by tablespoon, and mix until incorporated.
- Let stand for about 10 minutes for the curd to thicken, then transfer to a jar or cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate once cooled.
- Preheat oven to 350F
- For the macaron shells, process almonds with icing sugar until you get a fine powder. Sift into a bowl (you may need to process it multiple times to get all the lumps out) and mix 60g of the egg whites with it until you get a paste. Set aside.
- Whip the remaining 60g egg whites with 35g of sugar until almost stiff peak stage. Meanwhile, heat 150g sugar with 50g water until 230F, then slowly stream the sugar syrup into the meringue with the beater running. Whip the meringue until stiff peak or until the meringue stays inside the beater when you pull it out.
- Add a dollop of the meringue into the almond paste and mix to loosen it up. Then incorporate the remaining meringue, folding until you get a lava-like texture that flows in thick ribbons that'll sink back into the batter within 20-30 seconds.
- Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 12 round tip, pipe 1 1/2 inch circles on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Rap the pan against a table 2-3 times to get some of the bubbles out, this will prevent your macs from cracking. Bake for 12-14 minutes (you'll know it's ready when you touch the domes of the shells in the oven and they don't wobble much).
- Once baked, let cool on a wire rack for about 2 minutes, then gently remove from the baking sheet and let cool completely before filling.
- Fill with a dollop of SMB. Make a tiny well for the lemon curd and add a bit of the lemon curd. Gently squish the top of the macaron down to spread the filling. Refrigerate in an airtight container. Flavours will mellow overnight and will taste deliciousss

Denouncing the killing of four policemen in an IED blast in Sopore, Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti onhas urged the people to work shoulder to shoulder to break the "vortex of violence" in the state.
These young policemen were killed when they were on duty to protect the people in the town. It is highly unfortunate to see, Mufti said.
"The vortex of violence in the state needs to be broken and for that every section of society has to work shoulder to shoulder," the chief minister said.
She wrote on Twitter: "Pained to hear that four policeman have been killed in an IED explosion in Sopore. My deepest condolences to their families."
Four policemen on patrol duty were killed on saturday when an improvised explosive device (IED) planted by militants went off in Sopore in north Kashmir. Militants had planted the IED near a shop in a lane between the 'Chotta Bazaar' and 'Bada Bazaar' in Sopore in Baramulla district and detonated it when policemen reached the scene, an official said.
Former chief minister Omar Abdullah tweeted: "Very sad news from #Sopore. May the four brave J&K police personnel killed in the line of duty today rest in peace."
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Nirmal Singh has also strongly condemned the Sopore IED blast.
Dr Singh said such "heinous incidents are handiwork of the forces trying to disrupt peaceful environs of the state by carrying out these types of violent activities".

We have already postponed our church picnic and dedication originally scheduled for this weekend in favour of another time when the weather is more stable. As cool as it is to watch the weatherman getting blown to bits on TV, I think most of us would rather avoid such experiences. He he!
We will however, keep our plans for a special combined worship service with our Dargaville Church of the Nazarene on Sunday. Please pray for safe travels and a truly blessed time together.
Cyclone Lusi is hovering over Vanuatu, Fiji and New Caledonia at the moment, but it's next target: New Zealand. It is currently a category 3 storm and will weaken slightly in our cooler southern waters, but is still expected to bring heavy rains, damaging winds, and possible flooding before it fizzles out.
I will keep you posted as to how we fare. In the meantime, anticipate some great photos when this is all said and done!

PRP Therapy
Platelet rich plasma or PRP therapy (sometimes referred to as Vampire Facelift) makes use of your body's own ability to heal and regenerate. The aim is to increase the platelet concentration and in turn increase growth factors and speed up tissue regeneration. At Sandown Skin Clinic we use Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) the most scientifically researched PRP therapy, which is 100% safe. It stimulates production of your own collagen and elastin, strengthening and hydrating the skin and affording protection against and reversing the effects of sun damage. It can diminish lines, soften scars and reduce acne scarring and pore size. It can also be used to regenerate hair follicles in hair loss cases and reduce dark circles under the eyes, which can be difficult to treat.
A small volume of your blood is taken and placed into a special machine called a centrifuge. This process separates your plasma from the rest of your blood. Concentrated in the plasma are your platelets, which are cells responsible for tissue regeneration and rejuvenation.
The platelet rich plasma is then injected into the skin using a mesotherapy gun. At Sandown Skin Clinic we use the most sophisticated meso-injector on the market, widely recognised as the gold standard in aesthetic medicine. There are no foreign substances required in the treatment; it is 100% natural, which is unique in facial aesthetics.
The treatment takes an hour and there is little or no discomfort involved. You can immediately resume daily activities, just no make up for 4 hours after treatment and the therapy can be combined with other treatments.
PRP Therapy Hair loss
For optimal results, three treatments are recommended allowing three weeks between each treatment. Then a maintenance treatment is recommended every 6 months.
