The banana pile got a bit out of hand in the freezer again so I vowed to use some of them up. I also vowed to use my newest cookbook -- Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey -- since I've owned it for two weeks and have only used it once (the very awesome Maple Walnut Pie.) I was at Borders yesterday and realized that I couldn't buy any new baking books until I've used that one more than once, and since there are still many books I want to get, I figured I ought to get cracking.
Luckily, the book had a very intriguing Banana Rum Cake -- problem solved. A cake somewhere between a rum cake and a pound cake with bananas thrown in for good measure, and a lot of sugary, rummy, sticky glaze to go over the whole thing -- the only thing I thought was missing was coconut, but I can always add that next time. My big problem was that my cake wasn't quite done when I pulled it out of the oven. I had mixed results when I tested it with a skewer after 60 minutes in the oven. I figured the last little bits would finish cooking on the cooling rack, but it turns out that it probably needed at least another 5 minutes in the oven, if not longer. So my cake is a bit... um... moist... yeah, we'll call it moist.
If I make this cake again I would also probably fold the pecans into the batter rather than have them just on the top. It makes a cool looking crust that way -- but then when you eat it you get a distinctly different experience depending on if you eat the "crust" or the inside of the cake. If the pecans were folded in, the crunch and flavor would be distributed evenly and I think it would improve the cake.
That was really my only quibble with the cake and it's very minor and easy to change if I make it again. Other than that -- bananas, rum, cake... a very good combination that works well together to give a moist (some parts moister than others), flavorful cake.
For the Dark Rum Glaze:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark rum
For the Cake:
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans, toasted
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
5 large eggs, at room temp
1 cup mashed, very ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
2 tsps pure vanilla extract
3 tbsps dark rum
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup sour cream (I didn't have enough sour cream so I used buttermilk)
To make the glaze: Combine the butter, water, and sugars in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum. Set aside and keep warm.
To make the cake: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350. Spray a 10-cup tube pan with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the pecans in the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, with an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat together the butter and sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in the mashed bananas, vanilla, and rum. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt over the batter and fold in using a rubber spatula, just until no streaks of flour remain. Fold in the sour cream. Spoon the batter over the nuts in the pan and spread to the edge of the pan using the back of a rubber spatula.
Bake until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out with no more than a few moist crumbs clinging to it, 60 to 80 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Use a wooden skewer to poke holes all over the cake and pour 14 cup of the warm glaze over the cake. Let the cake cool for 5 minutes more. Place a serving platter over the pan and invert to release the cake onto the platter. Spoon the remaining glaze over the cake, a little at a time, and let stand until the glaze is completely absorbed into the cake. If the glaze starts to pool at the base of the cake, use a small metal spatula to spread it up and around the sides of the cake. As the glaze hardens, this will encase the cake in a rummy, sugary shell.
Let the cake cool completely before cutting into wedges and serving. This cake will last 2 to 3 days if covered well.

i don't know, i really liked the pecan crust and would hate to miss out on it. how 'bout folding some extra pecans into the batter, but leaving the top just as it is? it was yummy, all the way through. i liked it a lot.

I just found your blog, and this is too funny - I just made the exact same cake! And I'm a blogger in the DC area, too! Great pictures of the cake, much better than I was able to take.

I just tried this recipe last week, and it was exceptionally good. My coworkers looked it. I used regular sour cream and baked the cake for eighty minutes. It came out really well. It was moist but not "moist". My glazing technique needs work, but it was fantastic. I'm going to try again with the same recipe but substitute coconut for the banana.

There have been some very low tides recently - and some interesting creatures exposed. I think this tiny beast is a Gold-spotted nudibranch.
And this is the deadly stonefish. Great camouflage even though it was completely exposed it was hard to spot. I thought it must be dead at first but I then saw its gills moving. According to Grant (Guide to Fishes) it is capable of surviving at least 24 hours out of water. So glad I had my camera with me!

A recent blog post by a friend addressed the pickle of the abundance of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in food and how expensive a trip to the grocery store can be if you want to avoid it. Please read the post and my comment to gain some background for this post.
I took her challenge to look in my pantry to see where I found HFCS and I actually found much less than I expected. Where I did find it was in products that we don't need, like packaged cookies and the few soft drinks we have. This includes my ginger ale, which I don't intend to give up. I know you can use tonic water as a mixer, but I prefer my Canada Dry. Gin, vodka, rum, whiskey...you really can't go wrong.
From my position atop the fence of science I wanted to give some background on the topic and share my thoughts on the subject. I don't propose to know anything about government subsidies or tariffs or anything like that. I do know about science and food, so that is what I will focus on.
The basic health concern is that HFCS makes us fat, as in fatter than eating regular sugar would. The reasoning is that there is more fructose - which does not trigger an insulin response and feelings of satiety - than glucose which does. This is not exactly comparing apples to apples, but I'll do my best.
First of all, what is sucrose?
What is high fructose corn syrup?
HFCS is made by treating corn starch with several enzymes. First of all, you need to know that corn starch is made up of long, branched chains of glucose molecules. To make HFCS, it is treated with:
- alpha-amylase - breaks the long, branched chains of glucose down into shorter, unbranched chains of glucose molecules
- glucoamylase - breaks the shorter chains of glucose into individual glucose molecules
- xylose isomerase - converts some of the glucose into fructose
- HFCS 42 - used in foods and baked goods
- HFCS 55 - mostly used in soft drinks
- HFCS 90 - used in some (unspecified) specialty applications, but mostly used for making HFCS 55
Why is HFCS so widely used?
There are several reasons, but a major reason is the fact that it is cheaper than sucrose. Corn subsidies, tariffs and trade quotas artificially raise the price of refined sugar in the United States and a few other places. Additionally, it is easier to transport and blend into products because it is a liquid (1).
Functionality in foods
I went looking for reasons why HFCS as an ingredient may be preferable to sugar and found this (2). My opinion is that, except for perhaps the extension of shelf stability (meaning anti-staling in this case), pourability of frozen concentrates and firmness retention in frozen fruits, sugar serves most of the same purposes, though it will take more labor and energy to incorporate it into the product because it will have to be dissolved with heat and mixing. This means a higher production cost which means a higher price on the grocery store shelf.
So, who is to blame?
I would say greed and primal instincts. We can hardly be surprised that the Corn Refiners Association is defending their product. They do need to sell it, after all. However, instead of telling us that HFCS is good for us, I would prefer to see them create some data that at least shows that it's not worse for us than sucrose. Many studies have been done, but, as with most scientific research, for every study that says one thing there is a bigger and better study that says something completely different.
Food manufacturers also need to sell their products, and they sell us want we want. We choose the products in taste tests that determine the formulations used in food products, and we likely choose the ones with with the sweetest taste (i.e. higher levels of HFCS). All living things have the need for sustenance, and we all like sweet things and fat. This is a survival instinct and has been true since the dawn of time. I bet if there was a pecan pie available the cave kids would have been trying to sneak a slice before they finished their hunk of woolly mammoth.
And now...DATA!
You knew it was coming.
In 2002, consumers around the world spent almost 3 times as much money on soft drinks as we did on fruit, $193 billion (USD) on soft drinks and $69 billion on fruit (3). That was more than 327 billion liters! I couldn't find anything more recent on spending, but I did find this table showing that we Southerners consistently spend the most on soft drinks (4). Maybe this has something to do with that old joke about Mountain Dew in the baby bottle. It is cheaper than formula.
I did some research at the local grocery store to attempt to put the spending in perspective. I chose the 2 liter soft drink as the vessel for comparison. The store brand 2 liter soft drink is $1.29 and name brands are $1.59 to $1.79, we'll say $1.50 for an average. According to the label, a 2 liter bottle contains eight eight ounce servings, that's about $0.19 per serving. For the same $1.50 you could buy:
- 1.5 apples ($1 per serving)
- 1.5 pears ($1 per serving)
- 1.5 oranges ($1 per serving)
- 1/2 lb. strawberries ($0.75 per serving)
- 1.5 grapefruits ($0.50 per serving)
- 1/3 lb. grapes ($0.50 per serving)
- 1/2 a cantaloupe ($0.37 per serving)
- 8 medium bananas ($0.19 per serving)
In Conclusion
By the numbers, most of the HFCS we encounter outside of soft drinks actually has less fructose than regular white sugar (42% fructose compared to 50% in table sugar). What is in soft drinks is only a little more fructose than glucose (55% fructose).
I believe it's not the amount of HFCS we eat, it's the amount of sugar in any form that we eat that is the problem (5). If you've ever read books that take place in the late 19th and early 20th century (such as my favorite - The Little House on the Prairie series), you know that white sugar and candy were very special treats. It was brought out for company and occasionally found in a Christmas stocking. I'm not saying that we need to be that spartan with the sugar. I have as much of a sweet tooth as anyone else and I am happy to have a drawer full of chocolate and candy I can dig into at any time. I just have to remember that is was my choice to buy it in the first place, and my choice to eat it.
As a final point, the actual amount of soda consumed at one sitting by the average consumer is far more than eight ounces. I've seen people drink 5 glasses at one meal, each one probably 12 to 16 ounces. I've never seen anyone eat 10 apples at once.

Kamogawa Shokudo Eps 1-3
Its always going to be some contrived situation where some sort of misunderstanding/ignorance which gets revealed after the investigation so we can get a food + waterworks scene at the end.
The three episodes have been very bland and I do not foresee the episodes getting any better. I have been wrong before (see Juuhan Shuttai!) but I give Kamogawa Shokudo a meh.

This seems awfully similar to Shimeshi - is remembering past meals the new thing in Japan now? At least this doesn't ensure with lingering shots of Nespresso being made and served, which made Shimeshi seem more like an infomercial than a series.

Jung Mun-Hong, the founder and chief executive of ROAD Fighting Championship, has announced his immediate departure from the company.
"I leave ROAD FC today," he said via Instagram. "In my life, when my spirit and body were the clearest and healthiest, I devoted all my youth to ROAD, so I have no regrets and no worries."
Little reason for his departure was given by the company, but ROAD said an official statement is forthcoming.
Road FC officially launched in 2010 and has gone on to hold 44 events in Korea, Japan and increasingly China. It is understood that Jung will remain the owner of the company, but a new CEO is expected to be revealed soon.
"When I started ROAD, my wish was to make a stage where my students and juniors could fight forever," he added.
"I wanted to create a self-sustaining promotion, not a promotion that could fall under the influence of the external environment.
This year has been pivotal for the company, with its $1 Million Lightweight Tournament giving it a new global platform. Jung said that ROAD would continue.
"ROAD has become a global institution that will never collapse and will continue to evolve further."

Price excited to fulfill Red Sox contract
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- It turns out David Price's left elbow isn't the only thing feeling more comfortable these days.
In a news conference during the official reporting date for the Red Sox on Tuesday, Price sounded more at peace with the Boston experience, and expressed near certainty that he won't exercise his opt-out clause at the end of the 2018 season.
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- It turns out David Price's left elbow isn't the only thing feeling more comfortable these days.
In a news conference during the official reporting date for the Red Sox on Tuesday, Price sounded more at peace with the Boston experience, and expressed near certainty that he won't exercise his opt-out clause at the end of the 2018 season.
"No, there's not," said Price when asked if he had any doubt he'd be with the Red Sox next season. "I came here to win. I knew how tough it was to play here and pitch here. If you can go out there and win, I know all the emotions and everything's going to be better in that positive light. I look forward to doing that."
That's good news for the Red Sox when you consider that Price's contract includes five more seasons.
:: Spring Training coverage presented by Camping World ::
The first two years of that seven-year, $217 million deal weren't what Price had hoped for on the field, and sometimes off of it.
In 2016, Price led the American League with 230 innings, and compiled 17 wins and 228 strikeouts, but a 3.99 ERA was his highest for a full big league season.
He badly wanted to make up for it last year, and perhaps overdid it in Spring Training, leading to an elbow injury that limited him to just 11 starts. There was also a shouting match with a Boston reporter after a loss at Yankee Stadium in June, and some verbal barbs he aimed at Hall of Famer and Red Sox Broadcaster Dennis Eckersley on a team flight a couple of weeks later.
• Spring info | Tickets | Schedule
"I could've handled it better last year, absolutely, but I didn't, and I've moved on," said Price. "I look forward to getting back this year and getting off on the right foot [with the media]."
After absorbing Boston for two years, Price has a better understanding of the environment, and has no regrets about choosing the Red Sox as a free agent.
"No. Not at all. Everything I've been through in the past two years, it's been a struggle, absolutely, but I feel like I've gotten better from it," said Price. "I've learned from it. I look forward to continuing to learn."
Price's story could evolve in similar fashion as it did for John Lackey, who started his time in Boston with struggles, injuries and issues with the fans, but wound up a World Series hero. Lackey, who clinched Game 6 against the Cardinals in 2013, exited to one of the loudest ovations at Fenway Park in recent memory.
"Go out there and win. Winning cures everything," Price said. "You can always make things better by pitching better. That's what I've got to do. Go out there and throw the ball the way I threw the ball before I got to Boston."
Before getting to Boston, Price was one of the best pitchers in baseball. And he now feels like he's ready to get back to that point, from both a mental and physical standpoint.
"I'm excited, I'm optimistic, and I feel really good," said Price, who has been working out in Fort Myers with a Red Sox trainer since December. "That's what I look forward to doing, getting out there being healthy, and enjoying the game I've always enjoyed. Go out there and give us a chance to win every fifth day, and after a year if I make 30, 31, 32 starts, I'm confident my numbers will be there."
Another thing Price is enthused about is new manager Alex Cora.
"They've been good. They've been light," Price said of his discussions with Cora. "It's casual conversation. It's not always about baseball, and I think that's good. We have a good relationship already, and that's talking more than just baseball."
Cora is confident Price can be a crucial factor in the Red Sox playing deep into October this year.
"Obviously I want to see him make 30-plus starts. That's the goal," Cora said. "It's been really, really cool talking to him. He's been in the World Series, but he hasn't been there since 2008. You start looking at the roster [and] there aren't too many guys who have been in the World Series. It's something that will push him. He wants to get there, and I'm looking forward to seeing him perform every five days."

As much as I love a fry up, and I certainly do, porridge is the best breakfast around. If I don't gobble a decent sized portion every morning my tum threatens to break free and get it itself.
I don't own a microwave so it has be made in a pan, which admittedly makes more mess than toast or cereal. That said, it quick and eating it out of the hot pan saves washing up and warms a lap on a winters morning.
Here are some great reason to start a day with a bowl of the good stuff.
1. Gobble up that Fibre. All the cereal ads on TV tell us to buy their cereal as it provides a good source of fibre. Even the high fibre stuff in the fancy boxes does not hold a candle to porridge.
2. Bowl for bowl, porridge is cheap. For anyone counting the cents, 500 grams of oats will last longer than the equivalent amount of cereal. It doesn't take much to make a big bowl full, I've had my 750 gram bag over two weeks and it cost a little over a dollar.
3. It's super healthy. Porridge contains loads of soluble fibre which lowers cholesterol, it is packed with antioxidant vitamin E which can fight cancer.
4. Eat Porridge, eat less. The complex carbs in a bowl of porridge keeps you tum full for longer without bloating, every time I'm going to exercise I munch down porridge an hour before.
5. The Recipe for Long life! Britain's longest living man eats porridge every day – if that isn't an endorsement I don't know what is. The lipids and balanced fatty acids in oats have been linked to longevity and a long healthy life.
Although porridge isn't all that exciting, especially if made with water, it can be jazzed up with a good dollop of honey, golden syrup or some nice juicy berries. Obviously going crazy with the sweet stuff detracts from the goodness of the oats, but there's nothing wrong with sweetening it up a little.

"What we have here, is a lack of communication..."
Tonight was a step in the right direction, though it seems clear all our concerns will not be addressed or addressed in a manner we find satisfactory. But that's okay.
We can assume we all chose S.O. over competing developments because we like it here and want to be a part of it.
Here's the deal - the bottom line - if the rep, Pam, the board, whomever, would apprise us on a regular and ongoing basis of the items and issues being addressed, we'd all feel more pride in the ownership and a greater sense of belonging.
Maybe they don't do that because they fear inundation by other points of view or agendas. I understand that fear, but also feel it comes with the territory. We all are united in wanting this development to live up to its potential.

Getting Ahead
Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin' By World is a 50 hour curriculum that provides under-resourced people to investigate and understand the conditions that drives poverty.
Getting Ahead students are able to receive effective tools to take steps towards self-sufficiency.
Greg admits that he was first uncertain about the Getting Ahead program,
"I joined [Getting Ahead] because my fiancé wanted me to and then after we started going it turned about to be a pretty good class. I was thankful I took the class more than anything..."
In all that Tiffany has accomplished and lived through, she gives credit to Bridges.
"I think Bridges helps build that gap of positive energy, so when you have the right mindset to want to do better...you will do better; you will succeed if you continue to have a goal in mind."
Diane recommends to take Getting Ahead...
" If you want to change your life, change your thinking, do something different, get back on track, have a wholesome life... Go see."

Bridge's Financial Management Class
This 20 hour course provides financial tools and competence that your customer needs to take their first steps out of poverty. Each participant walks away with access to a bank account and to explore microloan opportunities.
One common barrier that customers encounter is when dealing with financial jargon.
Finance As A Second Language
People can understand financial concepts when presented intuitively, in simple language... but in our current system, learning to 'speak finance' is like a second job.
"Most people in the finance business speak in code."
"Sometimes when I'm talking to folks about [finance] I have no idea what they are talking about and most of the time I don't get embarrassed, but when I have to ask it a second or maybe a third time it starts to weigh on me."

Songs when I'm happy, sad, bored, hyped, mad
I listen to my Ipod all the time, at least once a day, not so much when I am in certain moods. However, I do like to listen to love songs when I am happy and rap when I am hype. I like a variety of music and I listen to the music channel on cable to learn about new music in new genres.

July was a month of visitors. I suspect my parents view my move here with some bewilderment and I'm never sure what to do with them when they visit. They're not really walkers, birdwatchers or nature enthusiasts, and there's little else to do here. I could just let them sit around and read books, but they can do that anywhere and I want to share my lovely island with them and somehow make them understand why I'm so smitten with it.
A friend and I hitched a lift to Harris & walked to Papadil on the south side of the island. The sea sparkled blue in the lovely summer weather we're starting to take for granted, and Papadil was cradled under Sgurr nan Gillean like a little lost world. I was briefly excited by movement in the bay at Inbhir Gil, primed to look for minke whales by a number of recent sightings, but it was just a seal observing us with typically detached curiosity.
We had a visit from the Minister for Environment & Climate Change, though we were unimpressed by his apparent lack of interest in what we're doing, and left wondering why he bothered to come at all. Our Climate Challenge Fund project, Greening Rum, is proceeding with typical slowness – the polytunnel is still not up, the rotor composter hasn't arrived yet, and when we went to roll out the loft insulation we discovered woodworm which will need to be treated before we cover it with fabulous non-itch ecowool made from recycled bottles.
I'm rueing the day I thought it would be a good plan to apply to the new Coastal Communities Fund. With only £1.8million for the whole Highlands & Islands, we went for a middling amount to get the Byre redevelopment off the ground and were invited to submit to stage 2; a rare event, by all accounts. However, the amount we've requested is only around 10% of what we need for Phase I now that the Feasibility Study is complete with figures. I'm stumped about where we're going to find the rest, but I'm sure we'll find it somewhere. I'm thoroughly daunted by the two 38-page forms I have to fill in for what is essentially a teeny tiny amount of money. Luckily about 10 pages of each form are guidance notes... Making the Byre project happen feels a lot like standing at the bottom of a very steep mountain & wondering how I'm going to get to the top.
This month I managed to spend 28 straight days on the island, but it was good to get away for a weekend of hillwalking in Perthshire. Two days felt like two weeks. Must remember that I don't need to do everything, and it's ok to let things evolve in their own time. I don't know if it was just being in one place for four whole weeks, but it feels as though the relentless onward march of Time slowed down this month, and July went on for ages. Not a bad thing. I'm hoping that August will proceed at a similar leisurely pace.

Two years ago, Swarthmore Presbyterian Church (SPC) began its quest to find a new head pastor to lead the congregation. After conducting numerous surveys and focus groups, and spending hundreds of hours compiling information and interviewing worthy candidates, the Pastor Nominating Committee recommended the Rev. Joyce Shin to the congregation. On Sunday, January 10, SPC officially welcomed Joyce into their pulpit and church life as she preached her first sermon as SPC's 10th pastor and head of staff.
Catherine Camp, a member of the search committee, says "Joyce honors SPC's rich worship traditions, while assuring that scripture resonates in a contemporary context. Her caring, relational style will really help engage our spirit of inquiry. We are so grateful she was called to lead SPC."
Joyce came to SPC from Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago, the second largest church in the denomination, where she served for nine years as Associate Pastor for Congregational Life. During her tenure, Joyce steadfastly engaged in building interfaith relationships between Fourth Church and local Jewish, Muslim, and Buddhist communities. She has also pursued doctoral work in theological ethics; her dissertation is entitled Faith in an Age of Cultural Pluralism: An Aesthetic Approach to Transformation.
Joyce remains curious, seeking wisdom from life. "I believe that the questions we ask in life are precious," she says. "If mined and honed, they reveal the core of our concerns. I, too, have questions, and I know how important it is to be in a community of fellow inquirers. As pastor of Swarthmore Presbyterian Church, I will seek to foster a community whose faith and wisdom will deepen by the questions we articulate."
Joining Joyce at SPC are her husband of 16 years, Michael David, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Chicago Medical Center who specializes in infectious diseases, and daughter, Sophia, who is in the 7th grade. Swarthmore Presbyterian Church is at 727 Harvard Avenue in Swarthmore; the website is swarthmorepres.org.

2014 World Championship Squad Member.
Name: Tom Loake
Age: 24
Squad Number: 17
Position: Long pole (close Defence)
Club: Hillcroft LC
Occupation: Surveyor
Playing experience: 6 Years
Previous Games: None
Over the past year you have cemented your position as a starting defender and were even awarded the Most Improved award. How do you plan to top these achievements?
The last 18 months has been quite a journey and it was a huge honour to play for Scotland, and to win the Most Improved award. I set myself the challenge of getting into the team at my first Scotland training session, and with the help of coaching staff and some hard work, I made it. Looking forward, the aim is to make the team for the European Championships in 2016. The plan over the next 12 months is to work closely with Joe Lightfoot (strength and conditioning) to put on a bit more bulk. This will help me to build towards the European Championships in 2016.
What made you pick the #17 jersey?
17 used to be my squad number when I played ice hockey. I started playing when I was seven, and it was the only shirt the club had that fit me!
What was your favourite game at the 2014 Championships?
It was great fun to play New Zealand, and to stand in front of the Haka before the game. However, the highlight for me has got to be our game against the Iroquois. We played well against formidable opposition and narrowly lost 10-8 to the third best team in the world. Playing against the Thompson brothers and Cody Jamieson is something I'll never forget.
What does Scotland need to do in order to perform well in the Blue Division in 2018? Scotland is facing a transition period with the retirement of some senior players and the retirement of Head Coach - John Kenny. I think the key for 2018 will be to focus on the European Championships in 2016 and use it as a stepping stone. It is also crucial that Scotland continues to grow the game domestically. Four years is a long time and there is a huge amount of young talent in Scotland that will definitely play a key part in Scotland's 2018 Blue division campaign.
Do you have any tips for new players?
Practice at the intensity you play. Standing around does very little to help you improve. Make every rep purposeful. As Coach Kenny says 'Don't practice until you get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong'.

Anyway, just wanted to check in b/c it's been a while. I've got to go look at your Q&A now!

So last week Myself, Jade and the girls set off to watch a film at an independent cinema in West London, called the Watermans Art Centre. It hosts a baby cinema screening every Wednesday at 11.30am, for parents and their babies under the age of one (no baby, no entry). When I first heard about the baby cinema I thought, really? How can you possibly go to the cinema with your baby? After doing a little bit of the research the idea had seemed to grow on me. Baby cinema screenings are adjusted to become a safe and comfortable environment for your baby.The lighting isn't too dark and the sound is lowered. After giving birth everything I did was baby related. The thought of going to the cinema any time soon was discarded, especially when 4 month down the line I'm still breastfeeding every couple of hours. So, I thought it would be nice to do something for solely myself and that meant going to see an adult film at the cinema.
We watched The Girl on the Train, which isn't the most baby friendly of film, but we covered their eyes for the gruesome parts (not that they're going to remember any of it). On arrival the cinema was absolutely packed with mothers and their babies, possibly a few dads too. It was a good thing that I pre-booked a few weeks in advance otherwise we wouldn't have got any tickets. Myself and Jade both enjoyed the film and it was the first time we've both been to the cinema since having out little ones. Needless to say there was never a quiet moment in the cinema (which was to be expected). Naya and India was on their best behaviours, Jade brought a few snacks for Naya to enjoy during the film, she entertained herself with an empty packet of rice crackers (the rest of the rice crackers were on the floor lol). Whilst India found the cinema to be the prefect opportunity to have some boob.
The question that people always ask is how do you watch a film with your baby? When you book tickets you have the options to buy a ticket for one parent and one baby or two parents and one baby. The means that the adult and their baby get their own seat. There was enough space for parents to bring their child's car seat or carry cot so that their babies could be propped in their own seat or on the floor next to them. Some mothers brought their baby carrier/sling, which is good for those babies who tend to get a little fussy.
What I liked most about the baby cinema is how comfortable you were made to feel. The thought of my baby crying whilst everyone was trying to watch a film made me little apprehensive. But whilst watching the film you become accustomed to the sounds of babies whining.
Once we finished watching the film, we had a lunch at the on site restaurant called The Guru Tandoori which served Indian classics at affordable prices. We ordered from the 'eat and go' lunch menu, where you can choose from a range of curries served with rice, naan and salad for £4.99. Not only was it cheap, but it was also delicious!
We both enjoyed the baby cinema and would definitely go back again. It's nice opportunity to go to the cinema if you can't find a babysitter.

Deciding Which Type of Bat is Best for You
There are so many bat choices for baseball and softball players in today's game, it can often seem overwhelming. Understanding the differences between composite vs. aluminum bats is sometimes difficult for players - this wasn't an issue decades ago when wood was the only option. End loaded or balanced bats? The best bat for power hitters? The list of questions goes on. Here we'll look at how you can determine which type of bat is best for your style of play. In this guide, we'll look at the following topics:
Contact Hitters vs. Power Hitters
Contact Hitters
Everyone loves being able to knock the ball outta the park for a home run. Unfortunately for some, power just isn't in their repertoire, but that doesn't necessarily have to be a negative. Home runs or not, you can still be a major player for your team by understanding your role as a contact hitter. Contact hitters will:
The best type of bat for a contact hitter will be one that is balanced with weight distribution throughout, allowing for all of these goals to be attained.
See our recommendation for contact hitters:
Power Hitters
When you're batting in the middle of the order, there is a high likelihood that you are a power hitter who can be a game changer with a single swing of the bat. If this is you, you likely:
The best bat for power hitters is an end loaded bat that allows you to hit the ball farther. The difference between end loaded and balanced softball bats is the weight distribution. Essentially, "end loaded" means that a 28 ounce bat feels like it's 30 ounces. This is because there is more weight at the end of the bat, allowing the batter the chance to hit for more power, while sacrificing in bat speed. A balanced bat swings exactly how it weighs and allows for ideal bat speed and control.
See our recommendation for power hitters:
The Big Debate: Wood vs. Aluminum vs. Composite Bats
Wood Bats
Many leagues have switched to wood bats for reasons including safety and cost.
Key points about wood bats:
When you're training and trying to improve your contact, a wood bat is best. In most levels of play, it's usually easier to transition from wood to metal, as opposed to the opposite, since a wood bat is less forgiving and has a smaller sweet spot. The best wood bat for contact hitter practice is one that allows you to get greater speed through the zone. Generally speaking, contact hitters typically swing ash bats and power hitters most often use maple bats as the material is the strongest and doesn't have much give. It isn't uncommon for players looking to advance to the next level to use wood bats in their training regimen, as they're known to help improve bat speed and strength.
See our recommendation for wood bats:
Aluminum Bats
The use of aluminum bats began in the 1970s as an alternative to wood bats - they were touted as cheaper and more durable. While aluminum bats were originally considered just a metal copy of the wood bat, time and play has shown differences between the two, including a greater ball speed coming off the bat and a faster swing as they're much lighter in weight.
Key points about aluminum bats:
One downside to an aluminum bat is the more you use it, the more damage you are doing to it, and for the purists out there, it isn't traditional. The debate doesn't end at just wood and aluminum, though. The aluminum vs. composite debate is just as fierce.
See our recommendation for aluminum bats:
Composite Bats
Composite bats are lighter than aluminum and wood bats, allowing power hitters to reach their potential with each swing.
Key points about composite bats:
It's important to also point out that composite bats are finicky about temperature - when the weather turns and the days and nights are a little cooler, composite bats are known to see decreased performance and have an increased chance of breaking.
See our recommendation for composite bats:

Did you know that arthritis can be bad enough that it actually inhibits daily required activities of people such as taking a shower or getting dressed. This condition can range from causing minor discomfort to the extreme situation just mentioned. Read this article for some of the greatest arthritis advice.
Buy accessories for your life and your home that make things easier. For example, you can purchase products that make it easier for you to open doors or take the lids off of jars. If you can increase the ease of your daily life, you'll reduce pain and stress and improve your attitude.
Keep pain relieving medications and ointments handy, such as on the countertop. If you suffer from a sudden attack, you may not want to have to reach and grab for your pills. In addition, if you have your medications in your purse or in your car, they will be available if you need them while not at home.
Make sure you don't smoke. Smoking has been shown to increase your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. Not only that, but if you do develop it, smoking has been shown to worsen the joint damage. Patients who smoke most often have much more severe symptoms than those patients who don't smoke.
For those who suffer from osteoarthritis, it is important that you have enough Vitamin C in your diet. Medical research has shown that Vitamin C reduces pain in osteoarthritis patients and helps prevent it in young people. You can get Vitamin C from many fruits, such as oranges, or you can take a supplement.
When you have osteoarthritis, exercising your joints is an essential part of managing your condition. Experts have found that exercise helps relieve stiffness and keeps your joints more flexible. Stretching exercises along with light weight training can also improve your endurance and help you sleep more soundly, leading to less pain and a better quality of life.
If you suffer from arthritis, try not to wear clothing that is too tight against your skin. Tight clothing is just going to put more pressure on your joints, which in turn, will increase your pain. Instead, try to wear clothes that have enough room in them so that you are comfortable.
It is important that you get the flu shot if you suffer from arthritis. Just like with many other chronic illnesses, arthritis symptoms will get much worse if you get the flu and could even land you in the hospital. The flu shot is a simple shot that you only have to get once a year.
Don't give up on finding a way to manage your arthritis pain. Dealing with a debilitating condition can leave you feeling frustrated and hopeless – particularly if you are having trouble finding any treatment options that work. If what you are doing is not working, talk to your doctor about other treatment options or explore alternative treatments such as acupuncture, nutrition or holistic medicine until you find something that helps.
To summarize, you now know the range of just how bad arthritis can get. You also have a pretty good background on the condition now, as well. Hopefully, you can use this article to better yourself and be able to take care of those around you that you care for the most.

Band set to release remastered version of debut album; have a look at Know Your Enemy from their 2010 Finsbury Park set
Rage Against The Machine are set to release a remastered version of their 1992 debut on November 26 via Legacy Recordings. Ahead of that they've released a video of 'Know Your Enemy' from their 2010 Finsbury Park 'thank you gig', which they played after fans voted in 'Killing In The Name' as Christmas number one in 2009:
Rage Against The Machine - XX will be out in three different versions. There's a deluxe box set featuring the remastered album and three B-sides from the era on CD and vinyl, the band's original demo tape on CD, two DVDs featuring the Finsbury Park gig and various live performances from 1992-1994 as well as a 40 page booklet and two-sided poster. A oversized softpack-housed version has the two CDs and a six-song DVD or you can just buy the remastered album as a single CD or vinyl, excluding the B-sides on the latter.

By now everybody knows that when it came to Donald Trump, the pundits - those wise men and women of TV and the press — got it all wrong.
We got it wrong when we figured he wouldn't run. We got it wrong when we said his candidacy was a joke that would go nowhere. We got it wrong when we thought he jumped the shark after he ridiculed a POW and insulted the looks of a female opponent and said he would ban an entire religion from entering this country until "our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on." We thought he'd lose the South Carolina primary after he said President Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction in order to get us into a war in which thousands of Americans were killed and many more grievously wounded. We got that wrong, too. And we got it wrong when we thought last summer's romance with a reality TV star would fizzle and be nothing but a faint memory when fall and winter arrived.
Did I mention that we got it ALL WRONG?
But now that we're acknowledging the obvious, that Donald J. Trump is the odds-on favorite to win the GOP nomination for president, maybe it's also time that we acknowledge what else we got wrong.
We got the American people wrong. At least a certain segment of them.
The media elites are so out of touch, so insulated inside their comfortable bubble, that they didn't understand the people who live between Manhattan and Malibu. Sure, the pundits knew they didn't like Congress; the polls made that quite clear. But the supposedly "smart money" never really grasped just how disgusted they were and not only with politics and the media. The elites didn't grasp the depth of their alienation from what they saw going on all around them.
The media elites don't feel dispossessed the way millions of "ordinary" Americans do — Americans who looked around and felt they were losing their country; Americans who believed that while they were working and going nowhere, others were mooching off the system and getting away with it. They weren't against helping the truly needy, but were wondering why so many millions of people were getting free food (stamps) while they were busting their rear ends and paying for everything they got. Why were they expected to obey the rules while, in their view, their country was being overrun by aliens who just barged in? What really fueled the alienation is that they didn't like the idea that THEY were taking over OUR country? I'm not saying all their grievances were legitimate. Some of them weren't. Some were stoked by opportunistic Republicans who wanted to rile the base in order to win them over. And while not everyone who was angry was also bigoted, more than a few were. But to the aggrieved, their grievances were real.
The elites who were blindsided by Trump's success, who couldn't understand why any sensible person would be attracted to such a thin-skinned, often nasty, narcissist, didn't grasp what was going on because too many journalists look down their elitist noses at "ordinary" Americans. Frankly, a lot of journalists wouldn't wash their hands in the same sink with "ordinary" Americans. Too many elite journalists think that Fourth of July parades are for hayseeds. That eating at Red Lobster is a crime against humanity. Well, now the "hayseeds" have had enough and are fighting back.
It's a safe bet that most Trump supporters don't know or care what his position is on taxes or tariffs or a lot of other things. They don't care that he's not conservative or that he promises things that will never happen. They don't even care that he says one thing on Monday and the opposite on Tuesday. What they do care about, I think, is that he's telling the elites to take a hike - which is rich, given that Trump is one of the elites. Through Trump they're telling the elites that despite what you think, you're not better than we are. That's also rich, since Trump thinks he's better than everybody.
When I wrote Bias I had no idea it would go to # 1 on the New York Times bestseller list. It was my first book. I was stunned. And then it hit me: I was catching up with the American people, the ones who thought the media didn't respect them or their values. They also felt alienated and dispossessed. Without realizing it at the time, I tapped into that. I wasn't leading anything. I was catching up!
Catching up with the American people can be a powerful force. And Donald Trump is doing just that. Not with all of them, of course.. Maybe not even with most of them. But for the moment, with enough of them.
So look out: He may win more than the GOP nomination.

As it stands, the film industry is overwhelmingly male. Having recently become aware of my lack of knowledge of female directors, I thought I'd provide an alternative watch list of films that deserve a wider audience. This is not just a list of canonical film director's sisterly equivalents – I do not want to equate or compare – but, rather, an exploration of how male and female visionaries explore similar themes differently. These are some of the most pioneering women of the past few years who have responded to the demands of this new female film audience and produced film which starts to question its patriarchal ancestry.
Wadjda (2012) is Haifaa al-Mansour's debut film and the first feature film to be entirely shot in Saudi Arabia – the land without cinema. Wadjda (Waad Mohammed) is an eleven year old girl whose dream is to be able to race Abdullah (friend and love interest) on a bike of her own. Despite facing opposition on this matter from her mother she eventually finds the money needed to buy a bike for herself, battling the prejudices of the country she was born into.
Throughout the film, al-Mansour warns us never to take freedom for granted. Saudi Arabia's hostility towards young women pervades every shot, both in front of and behind the camera. On set, al-Mansour had to shoot some of the scenes from the inside of a van using a walkie-talkie to give directions in order not to get caught by the authorities.
However; Wadjda became the country's entry into the Academy Awards which, occurring within the same year that Saudi Arabia entered their first female athlete into the London Olympic Games, this film marks a turning point in a country's social priorities. The film is touching and uplifting, but most of all: it is hopeful.
I like to think of Wadjda as a reimiaging of Boyhood (2014). Linklater's come-of-age drama collected several awards at the Oscars, partly due to the scale of its production: Richard Linklater spent twelve years filming Mason (Ellar Coltrane) growing up. Its emotional capital is largely generated from Linklater's loyalty to a depiction of adolescence we are already familiar with. There is nothing necessarily wrong with nostalgia for these standard rites of passage, but this is whitebread America which tends to bore quickly.
Signe Baumane's Rocks in My Pockets (2014) proclaims itself to be 'a funny film about depression'. Hand-drawn animation is combined with papier-mache stop motion tell the tale of grandmother Anna's children and their troubled upbringing in the context of twentieth-century Latvia.
The plot is divided into the five daughters' stories of their crazy quest for sanity which emerge from what seems to be their struggles to avoid pre-destined domesticity; to quote from the film 'life seems random without any purpose, you procreate and then you die.' Upsetting, sardonic and cynical, the film sees doctors self-medicate before they prescribe their patients with anti-depressants – patients who have most likely sought refuge in the Soviet mental hospital from certain death in the Afghanistan war.
Although it is a sensitive treatment of mental suffering, the film isn't always an easy watch. It does reassure us though that if you ignore the voices that only you can hear for the ones of the people who love you, staying sane isn't so hard. It is difficult to find a perfect comparison to such a unique and unforgettable film, but the one that came to mind is Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Besides Baumane's feature, Burton's take on the mad underworld of normality appears rather gimmicky – the comedy is rather less effective.
Released in 2014, Jennifer Kent's The Babadook sees Amelia (Essie Davis) struggle to raise her son Samuel (Noah Wiseman) after his father's sudden death. They are haunted by the Babadook monster which finds its way into their home through the passages of a children's book. The premise of the film may abide by certain conventions – the haunted house, the unwanted, unruly son and the ghostly father – but it unsettles in unexpected ways.
Amelia relationship to Samuel is troubling; her alienation from him questions whether maternal love is as instinctual as we might assume. Her duty to mother her son is crossed by a need to grieve her husband's death in a road traffic accident on the way to give birth; reading Amelia's psychological state troubles in the most intimate ways. Her characterization grapples with questions of a woman's identity as a mother, and a widow's identity as a nurturer. The Babadook represents how years of malign grief will eventually surmount to psychological collapse, despite the attempts one makes to ignore it.
I chose it as a point of reference to Kubrick's The Shining (1980). The sinister Overlook Hotel also provides the confined, claustrophobic space that suffocates symptoms of psychological disorder; the multitude of corridors and tight passageways that present possible escape routes are in fact labyrinthine and don't let you get any further away from the horrors you're really running from. In this film we have another young family torn apart by its pre-existing demons, most of all by Jack (Jack Nicholson) – the father's – alcoholism whilst the son seems to possess a supernatural power with which he can access horrific premonitions of the future. Like Amelia, Jack regresses back into something more primal; a blood-thirsty, axe-wielding psychopath. What I think The Babadook does more effectively is in its portrayal of motherhood unlike the relationship between Wendy and Danny in The Shining that is left largely unexplored.
Out just last year, Mistress America was co-written by and stars Greta Gerwig. This film is about Tracy (Lola Kirke) a lonely college freshman who encounters her thirty-something soon-to-be stepsister (Gerwig) during their mutual crises of self. Tracy struggles with rejection from a cliquey college literary society, as she does from various romantic partners. Brooke (Gerwig) is equally vulnerable. Despite having secured her position as New York socialite – she teaches a spin class, is an interior designer and is looking for an investment to open a restaurant – she seeks validation from the younger generation, Tracy's generation, who she becomes a host for.
Being directed by Gerwig's off-screen partner Noah Baumbach this film shouldn't technically make the list but I thought it illustrates how women feel an unnecessary pressure to conform to roles in different stages of their lives really well. If you have seen Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine Cate Blanchett's character can be thought of as a foil for Gerwig's; a Blanche du Bois socialite fallen on hard times. If you like the way Allen employs farce in his films, you'll like Mistress America as well.
And so it seems: the time for female film directors is nigh. Watch these films and if that isn't enough, go through this list published by Little White Lies of 100 great movies by female directors. That should keep you going.

Leket is an organization that collects surplus or leftover food all across Israel and donates it to the needy. In addition to collecting leftover food from caterers and restaurants, Leket works with landowners who donate the fruits and vegetables in their fields for collection.
Ramaz 8th grade students will be visiting one such field in Rechovot this Wednesday as they volunteer to pick whatever fruit or vegetables are in the field, which will then be collected and donated to the needy.
Leket came to Ramaz this week to introduce the chesed organization to the students. After viewing a short informational video about the organization, students designed tote bags that will be sent to families in Israel to collect their leftovers for donation.

So I wanted to tell you guys besides that one what books have made me cry.
- Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
- Blood Promise and Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter #7) by J.K. Rowling

07.01: Two-two
The mechanics of pokémon battles here are a little different from the game, mainly for practicality. Different people use different rules, but the ruleset Rose and Gina are using here is similar to what you might see in a martial arts sparring competition. The goal is not to injure, but to showcase form and control.

Yo no se si esto es "fulbito para la gilada"pero es interesante leer que Eric Schmidt, CEO de Google, piensa que:
"The goal of the company isn't to monetize everything. The goal of the company is to change the world."
Aunque luego tambien dice que
Schmidt added that unlike most companies, Google doesn't have to worry about making money from all its ventures since its search advertising business is a cash cow. "We have the luxury of time," he said. "Most people in the business are so pressed for time. They have to make money now."
Entonces tambien podria pensarse que es un CEO soberbio y altanero. O talvez tiene mucha razon. El tiempo lo dira.

Whenever i think of a fictional characters fashion sense, all i can think of is Bella Swan from Twilight. Maybe it's because Alice makes such a big deal of it....but the books constantly describe her in flannel and jeans or something else totally drab! While i've def seen some psychedelic colored flannels, something tells me Bella probably chooses boring colors. And she def doesn't wear and dress or skirts! The below selections are a very feminine and pretty set that any girl could love..i hope!

Like your selection although I'm skeptical Bella will even touch them, she's kind of drab that way.

We first loved him as Alex P. Keaton, the conservative teen in the 80s sitcom Family Ties. Now we love Michael J. Fox as a devoted family man - he's been married to actress Tracy Pollan for 21 years with four kids: Sam, 20, twins Aquinnah and Schuyler, 15, and Esmé, 8 - and advocate for medical research (he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991).
The beloved Back to the Future actor, 48, opened up to Reader's Digest about his new book A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future: Twists and Turns and Lessons Learned, and some of his greatest advice.
On his best parenting advice: "Always be available to your kids. Because if you say, 'Give me five minutes, give me ten minutes,' it'll be 15, it'll be 20. And then when you get there, the shine will have worn off whatever it is they wanted to share with you. I've never gotten up to see something one of my kids wanted to show me and not been rewarded."

Animals to eat and why it's important to kill them for food.
Many people who eat meat and even more who don't have never met the animal in which they are currently digesting. There is a lot of shame in killing these poor defenseless animals because they are just so cute and they never did anything to anyone right?
Prepare to have your eyes opened…
Prepare to have your eyes opened…
1: Cows – Ever meet a cow? Seriously… Ever walk up to a cow and scream in its face? IT DOES NOTHING!!! I swear when I first saw one I was enthralled. I went up to it and was all nice and everything but the damn thing just stood there. I tried all sorts of things to get it to come out of its coma but nothing worked. I tried tipping it but it just moved over to the side and continued to be still.
If there was ever a useless piece of existence I ever saw it would have to be a cow.
Seriously, meet one. They're total dicks!
2: Chickens – I honestly like chickens. I really do. They can be fun to feed and such but when it boils down to it, I don't think it really has that much going for it in the nervous system department seeing as it's body can last up to twenty hours without the head attached. That's not living, that's a zombie! And we don't like zombies do we? We need to nip this in the butt before there's a plague of them roaming around our cities and devouring the flesh of our children!
3: Pigs – Oh man… Where do I start? First off they are among the least active animals on the farm which in turn makes them have a higher fat content than the others.
Did you hear that? Their fat and lazy!
Not only that but did you know that a pig's orgasm can last almost thirty minutes? Where's the justice in that!? Fuck them! I say we all gut the son of a bitch and make pulled pork samiches!
4: Fish – A fish has a really primitive nervous system and its memory only lasts not even a second. It won't remember anything about you cutting off its head and cooking the sweet, sweet meat inside… Besides, some fish have it coming. I'm looking at you, you stupid eels!!!
5: Cats and Dogs - Who the fuck eats cats and dogs!? Oh yeah, sorry Asia! Did you know that Beijing prohibited restaurants from serving these delicacies to foreigners for PR purposes? Could you imagine giving Micheal Phelps a cat to eat?
No sir... He's a big strong red meat kind of brute. With big tall loveliness... Feet and abs...
6: Micheal Phelps - Fuck yeah I'd swallow anything that man gives me!
I hope I've enlightened some of you. For those that still aren't convinced please do yourself a favor and go to your little studio apartment and sulk over a nice hot cup of shut the fuck up. It comes in two different flavors now, self righteous and ignorant.
I hope I've enlightened some of you. For those that still aren't convinced please do yourself a favor and go to your little studio apartment and sulk over a nice hot cup of shut the fuck up. It comes in two different flavors now, self righteous and ignorant.
I'll leave you with this little tidbit. Did you know that there are more chickens in the world than there are humans!? It's true! And the more there are the harsher it is on our resources. So when you think about it, eating chickens is really going green! You'll be helping to curb the population and you get to chicken nuggets!
It's win / win!
So go ahead and get your shotgun. That motherfucking dumbass cock sucking cow ain't gonna kill itself! (They're too stupid to commit suicide)
I am in no way endorsing cruelty on animals (unless it's a stupid bulldog that eats cell phones and books, in which case I'm all about putting a cyanide pill into it's doggy bowl). You can raise them to be happy and healthy without all the harmful stuff. That way when you kill you know it lived to it's fullest! Walking around aimlessly for hours on end before dosing off. Every day... Every year... For their whole lives... Yup. Sounds like animals who have abstract thought.
People think that if they feel a certain way then an animal must too. I highly doubt a cat is capable of love in the way that we are. I really think it's just attached to you as a fellow animal that it's used to. They take advantage of the fact that we think they are cute and use it to get what they need. Animals (and people) are really selfish and they need to be. Survival of the fittest.
