"With their third full-length, Repeated Exposure To…, Greece's 1000mods affirm their place at the head of the pack of European heavy rock and roll. I mean that without qualification. Not just Greek heavy, but Europe as a whole. They were already leaders in their home country after their 2014 offering, Vultures (review here), which followed their 2012 Valley of Sand EP (discussed here), their 2011 debut LP, Super Van Vacation (review here), 2009's Liquid Sleep EP (review here), and their first short release, Blank Reality, which came out in 2006, but a full decade later, the Chiliomodi four-piece have become bona fide masters of the form.
Released through their own Ouga Booga and the Mighty OugRecordings, Repeated Exposure To… derives its name from the photo on its cover, the warning on the tube amp that reads, "Warning! Repeated exposure to high sound levels (more than 80 decibels) may cause permanent impairing of hearing." And so it might. Nonetheless, for 1000mods, one might take that as a credo under which they're operating throughout the album as a whole."

Responsible Political Parties
The Democratic Party has fragmented into two factions: conservative and liberal. Since the parties are separated and disorganized they are considered very weak. According to a survey taken in 2010, 52% were Republican supporters. While only 39% percent were Democrat supporters. The growth of Republicans increases each year, making the line of equal division no longer visible. They are also very complicated to identify with. For instance, when candidates, from the same party, take a different stance on a subject. It throws people off balance and makes it hard to comprehend which party they're sided with.
Enforcing responsible parties would make it less confusing for voters to understand since they would be required to stand on the same issues. Then more people would be willing to participate in elections they understand.
Furthermore, if candidates were to follow specific party standards they would construct a better team that would benefit themselves and the communities they're representing. Other democratic countries in the world have not so complex parties, and more people take part in voting. Responsible parties encourage voters to participate in elections that are simple to comprehend.
When runners are required to depend on the money they have raised, they look for wealthy followers to provide funding for their campaign. They lose their loyalty to their party and side with their supporters. On the other hand, orderly parties will impede the parties from becoming corrupt...

Then define "hypocritical'I suggest you be very careful and honest. :)btw: You should not be happy. Haggard is your brother in Christ, no ?We all fall short. That's in the Bible, just in case your bible has that page ripped out. :) Saturday, November 04, 2006 9:58:00 PM Robinitaface said… e‧van‧gel‧i‧cal –adjective1. Also, e‧van‧gel‧ic. pertaining to or in keeping with the gospel and its teachings.2. belonging to or designating the Christian churches that emphasize the teachings and authority of the Scriptures, esp. of the New Testament, in opposition to the institutional authority of the church itself, and that stress as paramount the tenet that salvation is achieved by personal conversion to faith in the atonement of Christ.3. designating Christians, esp. of the late 1970s, eschewing the designation of fundamentalist but holding to a conservative interpretation of the Bible.4. pertaining to certain movements in the Protestant churches in the 18th and 19th centuries that stressed the importance of personal experience of guilt for sin, and of reconciliation to God through Christ.5. marked by ardent or zealous enthusiasm for a cause.–noun6. an adherent of evangelical doctrines or a person who belongs to an evangelical church or party.Chris‧tian –adjective1. of, pertaining to, or derived from Jesus Christ or His teachings: a Christian faith.2. of, pertaining to, believing in, or belonging to the religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ: Spain is a Christian country.3. of or pertaining to Christians: many Christian deaths in the Crusades.4. exhibiting a spirit proper to a follower of Jesus Christ; Christlike: She displayed true Christian charity.5. decent; respectable: They gave him a good Christian burial.6. human; not brutal; humane: Such behavior isn't Christian.–noun7. a person who believes in Jesus Christ; adherent of Christianity.8. a person who exemplifies in his or her life the teachings of Christ: He died like a true Christian.9. a member of any of certain Protestant churches, as the Disciples of Christ and the Plymouth Brethren.10. the hero of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress.11. a male given name.hyp‧o‧crite –noun1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements. Saturday, November 04, 2006 10:06:00 PM Mark said… Thanks Robin.Now what? btw I asked Bill. Do you often find yourself defending others with a quick cut and paste? Saturday, November 04, 2006 10:31:00 PM Bill Garnett said… Thanks Robin,But isn't this typical? By Mark's dwelling on the definitions of specific words, which is fine, does that mean he is oblivious to the context of the posting? The essence of communication is intention. Does he misunderstand that I am saying that much that is posed as "evangelical Christianity", is in reality shrewdly packaged and marketed sham Christianity?I like the analogy of sitting at the window of a fine restaurant having a sumptuous meal, when you notice just outside the window that there is a starving and beaten eight-year-old girl. How would one respond?Now, imagine sitting in that same restaurant setting and there is the same starving little girl, but now she is thousands of miles away in Darfur. Does the plight of people depend on them being out of sight? I don't know how we will justify our materialism and our consumerism and our self-absorption at any final judgment.This may seem far fetched, but it relates to my opinion of much of the so-called "evangelicals", in that they are building crystal palaces and "preaching a lot to the choir" and consider their weekly Sunday service as membership n the Jesus club. Many churches have become country clubs without the tennis courts.My definition of evangelical would encompass much I see in St. Francis of Assisi, would show courage, would show empathy, would show compassion, would show charity, would show forgiveness. It would not support pre-emptive war, or capital punishment, or capitalism out of control of moral values. I could go on, but I don't like "preachy" – particularly from myself. Saturday, November 04, 2006 11:16:00 PM Robinitaface said… I just figured if you had the same definitions of words, you would have a level playing field for a gentleman's debate.You're welcome, Mr. Garnett. Sunday, November 05, 2006 8:00:00 AM Anonymous said… I don't know... As someone who doesn't have a problem with creation or evolution I kind of liked it when Haggard told him he was arrogant. And I do think you painted a little broad with the term evangelical christians, but I know the groups you mean. Monday, November 06, 2006 10:59:00 AM Bill Garnett said… Daniel, I grew up in an era when Oral Roberts was healing people on TV, and I was also raised in a family of evangelical "Christians". I admit I do have some sensitivity to the hypocrisy of those who insist that their interpretation of God's will is the only possible interpretation – especially when their actions fall far short of real love, caring, and humility.But I have a sense of humor about it as well.

Additional definitions, disciplines & perspectives
3 additional areas will be covered here:
Additional definitions of career
Additional types of career development theories
1/ Additional disciplines
Michael Arthur and others have suggested that a wider range of disciplines has much to contribute to the study of career development. The following by no means definitive list will help to navigate this growing field.
Becker (1975/1993) developed a human capital theory of labour economics. This theory of career development continues to have great influence in policy and management circles.
Organisational and management studies
Gunz & Peiperl's (2007) overview of career studies from a broadly organisational and management studies perspective has been an important contribution to the field. Arthur, Inkson & Pringle (1999) is also relevant.
Cultural studies
Willis's (1977) classic study of working-class boys. This study has been criticised from the left and the right but remains valuable for its exploration of the cultural celebration that takes 'the lads' as far as the factory gates.
Thomas (1999) provides an overview of work through an historical and cultural lens.
Religious and spirituality studies
Bloch & Richmond (1997) explore some links between spirit, work and career development.
2/ Other types of career development theories
As indicated in the introduction, there is more than one type of career development theory. The purpose of this section is to introduce a second type of career development theory. These theories are essentially aspirational in character and consist of claims about what self and others should do in order to live more successfully. They are often called theories of career management or models of career education, guidance and coaching. 5 examples are shown below drawing from a range of discipline areas. Each of these theories is either explictly or implicitly based on the kinds of career development theories we have already encountered in this module. This is best illustrated by 2 examples:
- The DOTS model of career education and guidance identified (row 1) is based on ideas from Holland's person-environment fit approach, Super's life span development theory and K. Roberts' opportunity structure theory.
- The Career Self-management Behaviours (row 4) approach to career management draws from a range of career development theories including Becker's human capital theory of labour economics.
|Self awareness
|Opportunity awareness
|Decision learning
|Transition learning
|Career Competencies
(DeFillippi & Arthur 1996)
|Knowing why
|Knowing how
|Knowing whom
|Planned Happenstance
(Mitchell, Levin & Krumboltz 1999)
|Risk taking
Career Self-management Behaviours
|Boundary managing
Career Competencies for the Modern Career
|Career reflection
|Work exploration
|Career control
This is just a selection taken from a large academic and popular literature in this area. There are many more examples in the on-line journals and on the 'self-help' shelves of high street bookstores. These perspectives can be helpful as they can help ourselves and others to surface our own preconceptions about career management. They can be used to help 'read' the career development strategies of individuals.
These perspectives can however also be unhelpful for 4 main reasons.
- They can limit creativity i.e. the ability of career development faciliators to develop their own practices.
- They can be used didactically to tell clients what to do. This often happens when one alone is used to design a whole career learning programme or inform a career coaching and counselling interaction.
- The ideas underpinning some of the popular self-help approaches are not stated. This can mean they are weakly theorised.
- The suggestions made for living a more successful life are often quite simplistic.

Wilbur The Barn Owl Interesting Facts
This is my adopted son Wilbur the barn owl, with the heart shaped face who has my heart and lives at the Koret Animal Resource Center at the San Francisco zoo. Read about Wilbur's adoption here.
I am using Wilbur as an example to bring you some interesting facts about barn owls in general.
Barn owls have acute hearing with their ears being asymmetrical. On a barn owl their ears are covered by feathers with one ear being on the top right side of their head and the other being on the low left hand side. They work like cell phone towers with sounds bouncing off of each other. If a barn owl were blind, he would still be able to hunt for food using his keen sense of hearing.
Their eyes are tubular in shape which means that they do not have peripheral vision. That is why they have to turn their heads up to 270 degrees to see around them. They have no sense of smell at all and is why they have a heightened sense or hearing. Wilbur also has depth perception problems so you will often see him stomping around which is cause by his inability to perceive depth.
This is one of Wilbur's feathers. The zoo keeps these and other artifacts from their birds to teach children and people like me :) about these beautiful creatures.
In the wild, the barn owl dines on mainly rats and mice. In captivity at the zoo Wilbur and his owl pals along with Frank, the harris hawk and Monty, the turkey vulture are fed a rotating diet of mice, rats, rabbit, chicks and quail. Wilbur is eating a chick in this photo. These are not just mice etc... from the wild, they are laboratory mice and rats etc... which are cleaned and their intestines removed before they are fed to the owls and bird life at the resource center. Owls in particular have a high metabolism and the waste product is excreted almost immediately after they have been fed. The owls also regurgitate the feathers and any bones from the mice and feed which then becomes the owl pellet. The owls and birds are weighed daily to insure that they are maintaining an adequate weight and that their eating habits are akin to being healthy. Right now, Wilbur weighs 1 1/2 pounds. The largest owl at the center, Athena the Eurasian Eagle owl weighs 5 pounds.
This is Wilbur about to have dinner. When an owl becomes excited either by the thought of having food as in the above photo or by hearing various noises, they are baiting which means they will flap their wings to try and fly. If you are around the animal resource center during their feeding time, which I am, you will see all the animals flapping about. Wilbur has a beautiful and impressive wingspan.
Owls in general do not like to be touched and also like to be alone even when in the company of their own species. They do all have their own personalities. Wilbur for example likes to come out right before feeding time and hang out on the grass and his wooden perch while watching for his trainer to come out and get him ready for his meal. He will sometimes get into his bath and stomp around for his adoring fans. He is one of the owls who travels to the schools on the zoo mobile to entertain children during the school year. Yes, he has a fan base :) Owls in general are pretty friendly but don't try and mess with their nest. If you do, they will dive bomb you and that goes for all of the owls species.
I hope you enjoyed learning a little more about barn owls and my Wilbur. I am learning so much about these beautiful birds each day. I will have more for you in the weeks to come.

Why This Market Meltdown Isn't a Repeat of 2008
U.S. economy and financial system are in a very different place now
The end isn't nigh. Yes, there are losses, and big ones, as financial markets on Friday extended a brutal selloff that has ricocheted around the world since the year's start. The carnage has become so pronounced it has engendered fears of a replay of the 2008 global financial crisis.
But there are crucial differences between now and those dark days, at least for the U.S. While losses could continue, the U.S. appears, at the moment, to be in a better position to weather them. That could keep a market downturn from morphing into a full-blown financial crisis that then leads to an economic one.
Granted, the current selloff has proven particularly swift and brutal. After tumbling 390.9 points Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 8.2% so far this year. And things are even worse elsewhere. China's stock market is down 18% year to date; crude oil, below $30 a barrel, has fallen 20% this year and is off 52% from its 2015 peak.
For anyone who lived through the financial crisis, the depth of the declines, and the way they are rolling across multiple markets, is cause for alarm. Early on in that meltdown, too many people thought troubles would be akin to the 1998 Russian debt crisis or the 2001 dot-com bust. Those views proved disastrously wrong.
There is less a chance of things playing out the same way today. A big part of why is that in the run-up to 2008, people didn't appreciate how much debt had built up in the system. This amplified the pain of losses, led to a seizing up of debt markets and blew big holes in bank balance sheets.
The U.S. economy and financial system are in a very different place. Notably, debt ratios within the U.S. aren't nearly as high outside the government.
Consider households, which were at the epicenter of the mortgage crisis. At the end of 2007, household debt levels equaled 130% of income, according to Federal Reserve figures. Today, that has dropped to 103% as of last year's third quarter.
Further, thanks in large part to superlow interest rates, households are now devoting 15.3% of income to meeting debt and other financial obligations versus 18.1% in 2007.
Similarly, U.S. banks today are in far better position to absorb losses than during the financial crisis. The 31 financial institutions in the latest annual "stress test" administered by the Fed had $1.1 trillion in common equity capital at the end of 2014 compared with $459 billion at the start of 2009.
Banks' common equity capital ratio, which measures the buffer banks have relative to risk-weighted assets, was 12.5% at the end of 2014. This is more than double the 5.5% ratio in 2009's first quarter.
True, there are areas where debt is a concern. U.S. government debt was equal to 101% of gross domestic product in the third quarter versus 63% in late 2007. The same is true for major countries and regions around the world such as the European Union, Japan and China.
China is the wild card. It borrowed huge amounts to stimulate its economy, leading to serious overcapacity in everything from factories to luxury apartments. The unwinding of this binge is one of the causes of the current market turmoil.
A hard landing in China could reverberate around the world, and into the U.S., in ways that still aren't known. So the more serious problem for the U.S. economy is probably how stress-induced weakness in overseas economies might ripple. Declines in import prices will further cool inflation the Fed already deems too low.
What's more, unlike in 1998, when the Fed cut its target by 0.75 percentage point as part of its efforts to calm financial markets, the central bank today has little scope to cut rates. To stimulate the economy it would have to again tap unconventional policies, which aren't nearly as effective.
Another area of concern is the amount of dollar-denominated credit that has been extended to nonbanks outside of the U.S.—such as dollar-denominated corporate bonds. This reached $9.8 trillion by the middle of last year, which compares with $5.3 trillion at the end of 2007, according to the Bank for International Settlements.
The combination of a stronger dollar, weakening demand and, in cases such as commodities, falling prices, are making this debt hard to pay off. Crucially, though, this step up in overseas lending has been driven by non-U.S. banks and bond investors. There is plenty of financial stress here, but it isn't centered in the U.S.
Importantly, sparks for the current market bonfire, such as plummeting oil prices, are mostly understood. Markets have undergone commodity crashes before. Eventually, these lead to supply destruction, which results in markets coming into balance and prices stabilizing.
In 2008 and 2009, by contrast, one of the biggest problems was that investors didn't understand what was happening, the kinds of products that were blowing up, or the interconnections between them and financial firms.
For now, the storm doesn't appear to have the force of a cataclysm. After 2008, many investors have come to fear that every episode in financial markets is another black swan. They should remember there are white ones, too.

Mary MOORE was fourteen and a half years old on 26 October 1869, when she was brought before the court in Sydney by constable ROBINSON7 who stated that between five and six o'clock that morning he had found her in Crown Lane. Mary told him that she was over sixteen and had slept in a shed for three nights as she had no home. Her mother, Mary, was in court and stated that Mary had turned fourteen last May. Because she had been in service, she had got Mary into the 'Home', and had paid seven shillings a week for her care there. Mary stated that she hadn't seen her daughter for the last five months and believed that recently she had been living at an improper house. Mary added that she didn't know where her husband was and admitted that she had two other children who had been put by Father Sheridan into the Randwick Asylum.8 There was no place available for Mary9 but she was willing to pay something for her support if she was sent to Newcastle. The court agreed and Mary was admitted to Newcastle on 28 October 1869.10 The records for her admission are one of those missing from the Entrance Book so no details concerning her family, education or religion can be confirmed from this source. In May 1870, within a few months of her admission, Mary was one of four girls11 punished with 48 hours solitary confinement and a bread and water diet for 'sleeping together and making use of obscene language.'12
Mary was transferred with the school to Biloela in May 1871. The transfer lists, compiled nearly 18 months after her admission, recorded that Mary was a 14-year-old Catholic.13 Without confirmation of what was recorded in the Entrance Book, it is not possible to know the age recorded there as her admission as she should have been recorded on the transfer lists as a 16-year-old. On 6 November 1871, Mary's mother petitioned the Colonial Secretary requesting her daughter's release into her care. Mary senior provided a reference from the local member of Narellan, Joseph LEARY, for whom she had worked for nine months. LEARY had written Mary's petition for her and this document she signed with a cross. LUCAS supported Mary's release to her mother14 and she was discharged on 6 December 1871.15 LUCAS confirmed her discharge in his report on 12 December 1871.16
No further confirmation of Mary has yet been made after this date.
Mary's mother, Mary, was identified in her court appearance17 and while it was not recorded in the newspapers, she had almost certainly applied for the warrant for her daughter's arrest. Based on the evidence presented at both Mary's trial and in contemporary reports in the NSW Police Gazette, it is almost entirely certain that Mary was the daughter of Robert and Mary MOORE. She was reported to have been born in Victoria.18 Birth registrations from that state have not been supported by births for any of her known siblings so are still unable to be confirmed. By March 1868, Mary, her mother and two younger siblings had been deserted by their husband and father, Robert MOORE, for whom a warrant had been issued in Sydney. Robert and another sibling, ten-year-old Walter, Watty19 or Robert Walter MOORE,20 were reported to have gone to Newcastle. It was further reported that Robert had been a soldier and had also served in the Tasmanian police. The Newcastle Chronicle on 20 May 1868, published an advertisement almost certainly referring to Robert which stated:
ROBERT MOORE, who left Auckland, with his son, Walter Moore, in the A. J. Badger, on May 5th, 1867, and was last seen at Newcastle, is requested to communicate with TYPD, care of Gordon and Gotch, Sydney. Any tidings of him will be thankfully received.21
A similar advertisement appeared in the SMH on 24 December 1868.22 Mary's siblings, Alicia, recorded as Alacia, and John MOORE, were admitted to the Randwick Asylum on 11 March 1868, where they were both recorded as Protestants. If it can be located, further information may be available in the application number 40 (Min: 15 folio 61) which was referenced in the Randwick records. Like their older sister, John and Alicia were also eventually discharged to their mother beginning about two years after Mary's release from Newcastle – Alicia on 29 May 1873, at the age of thirteen and John, also at the age of thirteen, on 19 April 1875.23 It is possible that at the time of each child's release Mary senior had arranged an apprenticeship to ensure that her children near her, as this would explain why they were not released at an earlier age and at the same time. The difference in religion between Mary and her younger siblings may suggest that their mother was a Catholic and the children may have returned to this religion once their father abandoned them. It also may suggest that Mary and possibly also her brother, Walter aka Robert Walter, were half-siblings to the younger two children. No births for any appropriate families have been found in any state of Australia or in New Zealand.
Mary MOORE attempted to work honestly and in order to do this it was necessary to split up her family so she was able to be employed. The staggered timing of each child's discharge from the industrial school and from Randwick suggested that she needed her children to contribute to the security of the family. It is possible that she was still in service but it is also possible that she had remarried. The marriage of Mary Alicia MOORE to Gerald STOKES in 187924 is not thought to refer to a remarriage of Mary's mother. No ages are shown to enable any confirmation. Mary Alicia MOORE had been born in Ireland and her parents were Thomas MOORE, a stockman and Margaret CARNEY so the record cannot refer to the younger Mary. It is possible that the wife of Gerald STOKES had died by 1888 or the couple had separated, as Gerald was involved in an adultery case as the co-respondent and no wife for him was mentioned.25
It must be considered that Robert MOORE may have been transported to Van Diemen's Land as the man who was almost certainly Mary's father was reported to have been a constable in Tasmania before he had moved to New Zealand. A possible arrival was the man arriving on the Susan on 21 November 1837, who had been born in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire,26 and had been tried in Sussex on 20 March 1837.27 More work must be undertaken on this man.
No trace of Mary senior, Mary or John has yet been confirmed but Alicia MOORE almost certainly married Augustus CAESAR or CEASER in 1879. After this date Alicia seems to have adopted the name Bridget as children were subsequently born to Augustus and Bridget CAESAR. They were living at 26 Fitzroy Street, Alexandria, when their daughter Bridget Anne was born in September 1887.28 Bridget was admitted to gaol in 1895, 1897 and 1899. Gaol records identified that she was a Catholic and two gaol records recorded that her place of birth was Sydney. She worked as a dealer.29 It must be considered that the woman Joy STEWART alias CAESAR who was also imprisoned in Darlinghurst Gaol in 1887 was another reference to Bridget aka Alicia MOORE.30 The CAESAR marriage was a violent relationship. In 1890 Augustus assaulted his wife with a dipper31 and in 1893, a whip.32 The couple were rag pickers.33 Bridget died after being accidentally smothered whilst drunk on 30 August 1911. An inquest was held and the conclusion was that her death was accidental.34 The death registration on the NSW BDM Index identified no parents but confirmed her age. No family members were identified in the Funeral Notice.35
Augustus remarried Annie HILLSDON,36 the sister of Mary Eliza HILLSDON, three years later. Augustus died in 1925.37 Because advertisements were also made in the Sydney papers38 it is considered possible that Augustus was the same man who had a wife in Brisbane. Augustus had arrived in Australia in about 1854 or 1855. He had a brother named Julius.39 He left the family and by 1902 advertisements were made in the NSW Police Gazette indicating that he had not been heard from since July 1898. He was described there as being a native of India who was either an engineer or a cook. He had been born in about 1850 and was a half-caste.40 He was described as 5' 6" tall, with a Roman nose, dark brown eyes, stout build, broad shoulders, a dark complexion and dark moustache only as he was very bald. He also went by the alias Sheridan CAESAR.41
It is not possible for the birth of Alice Mary MOORE to Robert MOORE and Mary Ann HOLLOMBY in Bulls Creek, South Australia, on 13 June 1860, to be the birth of Mary's sister. This birth was registered at Strathalbyn, South Australia.42 This couple had a daughter named Mary Ann who was younger than Alicia. This doesn't match what is known of the Newcastle admission. Other children were also born and this couple were still having children in Strathalbyn in 1870 so they cannot be the parents of the Newcastle admission.
Where has She Gone?
No indication has been found that Mary had or used a middle name. There are many references to Mary MOORE on Trove but none can be confirmed as referring to either Mary or her mother. No Police Gazette entries or gaol admissions for Mary MOORE or MOOR are sufficiently detailed to identify whether Mary was imprisoned or arrested after her release. Only newspaper reports indicating an age of an offender can be used to investigate possible arrests. One possible admission to the Benevolent Asylum occurred on 8 September 1885, for the birth of an illegitimate daughter, Margaret,43 who was born on 30 September, and who left the asylum with her mother at the age of three weeks on 15 October 1885. This child died in Glebe later that year.44 No other illegitimate births in Sydney can be linked with a woman Mary's age.

I still remember...
Today is the third anniversary of the day my dad passed away. Not sure that I'll ever forget this day. I still have the last note that dad sent me stuck to my desk. It's fading and hard to read, but here's a picture of it.
My dad's handwriting wasn't the neatest. I've always liked to write and doodle, so when I was younger, I would translate my dad's handwriting because other people could not read it.
I have my dad to thank for raising me in church and of that I am so grateful. Looking forward to the day when we can dance around the heavenly throne together.
PS Earlier this year I was reading something and realized Elvis died on this same day, but 30 years before my dad's passing. Just sayin'

Unionists are asking why the UK taxpayer is to pay £353k prison costs for a Tyrone drug smuggler when Dublin lobbied to return her to Ulster.
Michaella McCollum was jailed in Peru for six years and eight months for smuggling £1.5m of cocaine out of the South American country in 2013.
Justice Minister David Ford has revealed that Ms McCollum must pay her airfare but that the taxpayer would meet her £63k annual jail costs. While the UK is willing to accept her back, Peru has not yet decided to release her.
On Thursday DUP MLA Lord Morrow said that Ms McCollum was travelling on an Irish passport and the transfer request purportedly came from the Irish government.
"It would seem that the Republic of Ireland's interest in Michaella doesn't extend, however, to paying for her imprisonment," he said.
"Our Prison Service estimate the average cost for housing a prisoner last year was £5,250 per month. I accept that Michaella's family wants their daughter back home.
"However, they must consider that Michaella was convicted for smuggling drugs worth £1.5m."
He added that her remaining sentence would cost the taxpayer £351,750.
"Northern Ireland needs to consider how many police officers, teachers or nurses would that pay for," he said.
UUP MLA Tom Elliott agreed that when she was caught after "choosing to smuggle drugs when travelling on an Irish passport, she went to the Irish authorities for help".
He added: "If she wishes to be repatriated, maybe she should be repatriated to that jurisdiction instead of costing the Northern Ireland taxpayer thousands of pounds."
A fundraising web site for Ms McCollum, now closed, raised £4,415 of a £10k target.
The solicitor acting for Ms McCollum, Kevin Winters, said her flights would be paid by her family.
He added that there was a "reciprocal arrangement between the UK and Peru" and other countries which works both ways.
This means the UK saves a similar amount of money when it flies foreign prisoners back to jails in their own countries, he said.
The Irish government had not offered any comment at the time of going to press.

Joyfull's Review
"Chile" Ketchup? "Chili" would be a better choice don't you think. That aside, this mixture was only so so, not something I'd bother making again.
Time: 2 minutes. Chef Tyler Florence's twist on ketchup tastes great on his juicy, meaty Ultimate Burgers. This recipe is an adaptation of one in Tyler's Ultimate (Clarkson Potter, 2006; $35).
In a small serving bowl, mix sambal and ketchup together.

Televised performance of NLYG that i had never seen before.
The best things come and go
Invest in those
I never noticed how much NLYG sounds like DIOY
I don't ever get into discussions about getting old, because I'm pretty sure I'm going to age like fruit.
one of my current favorite bands, Wilderado, did an article where the cited the influences for their most recent EP, and 3 out of the 6 songs were from the 3eb Blue album.
interestingly, their last song, by Microwave is also a band i've recently fallen in love with.
Dance Gavin Dance have covered Semi-Charmed Life.
Which, I think we can all agree, is a thing that happened.

An independent environmental impact study has concluded that a 16-story office tower, proposed for construction on Central Avenue at Ventura Freeway along with a seven-story medical building, is too tall and massive for the neighborhood.
Glendale developer Gary Tobian, a city planning commissioner, and his partners, Hillman Development Co. of Glendale and Kajima Development Co. of Los Angeles, have planned for years to build a high-rise project at the busy intersection just outside the downtown redevelopment zone.
But an environmental study prepared by Industry-based Willdan Associates recommends that the tallest building be reduced to no more than 10 stories and that the bulk of the project be cut by 25%.
"The heights of the proposed buildings are not consistent with the zoning codes or with prevailing building heights in the area," concluded the study, released late last month. It also criticized the design of the project as creating an "awkward relationship and arbitrary shifting of proportion between two buildings of greatly different heights."

The Formation of Europe: Prehistoric Population Dynamics and the Roots of Socio-Cultural Diversity
Most Recent EventApril 14-16 2010 - Project Workshop IV, Newcastle University, UK
SponsorshipFunded by the European Commission's FP6 NEST initiative
LinksNewcastle University
Anvar Shukurov homepage
Pavel Dolukhanov homepage
Project summaryOur major goal is to test, with quantitative and qualitative tools, the hypothesis that some key aspects of the current economic and socio-cultural diversity of European nations have roots in prehistory. We shall integrate the expertise in mathematics, computing, archaeology, palaeodemography and palaeoenvironment into an interdisciplinary approach aimed at a groundbreaking, comprehensive theory of the Neolithic Revolution. We shall quantify, and hence clarify, the interaction of the environmental factors with social, cultural and human aspects of the Neolithic Revolution.
This project will be the first to consider the Neolithisation of Western, Central and Eastern Europe as a pan-European process. Our main tool will be a novel mathematical model of population dynamics for the epoch of the initial spread of the Neolithic in Europe (8000-3000 BC). The model will be based on advanced population dynamics theory with full allowance for environmental factors (including geomorphology, waterways and coastlines, soil fertility, and biomass and climatic variations). The methodology of parameter estimation for large-scale population dynamics models will be developed, and various mathematical and geostatistical approaches to local and non-local demographic processes will be implemented. The model will be refined using the abundant radiocarbon age determinations, genetic markers and archaeological evidence.
Much of the high-resolution archaeological evidence will be collected in several case studies focussed on the Adriatic Sea area, the Eastern Balkans, Central and Eastern Europe. Our results may significantly change the understanding of the origin and nature of modern cultural, social and economic diversity in Europe. We anticipate that this project will develop into a new field of research, Quantitative Environmental Archaeology, at the boundary between science and the humanities.
Project outcomesThe project outcomes are described in various documents under Outcomes.

He has walked the walk of the privileged. Along the gold-plated road past the signpost marked Twickenham.
Three times in the last five years Tom May and Newcastle Falcons will have made the pilgrimage to rugby's ancestral home for a showpiece cup final.
On Saturday, the mighty men of black and white once again enter the arena of death or glory for the first all-northern final since Gosforth marched from the Tyne in 1977 to beat Waterloo.
Sale Sharks await the Falcons and if they possess England's World Cup final try scorer, the fleet-footed Jason Robinson, then Newcastle have in May himself the second top producer of tries in Premiership rugby.
A charge to death or glory it is indeed - May has experienced both and knows which one he wants to revisit on Saturday night.
Carried on the innocence of youth, May was in the Falcons side that lost to Wasps in 1999 but two years later, maturity firmly gained, he scored two tries as Newcastle won one of the most ferociously competitive and endlessly fascinating finals of all time against Harlequins with a try in the fourth minute of injury time.
"I know only too well what experience I want to have again," May told me with a smile. "They were the two extreme ends of the spectrum - '99 was horrendous, a numbing feeling of despair, and 2001 was awesome, elation like I'd never experienced before.
"There's no middle ground in a cup final. One or the other awaits you. That's what drives you on - the fear of failure. The pain of it."
Tom readily admits that the super spurt to Twickenham has saved the Falcons' season from mediocrity and given it a focus which can produce terrific rewards.
"We can end up winning the trophy and be in next season's Heineken Cup all in one go, and that's momentous," he admitted.
"It's the best way and the quickest way of getting into Europe - no waiting for the play-offs. Our season has been frustrating in many ways. We've got the most balanced points record in the league and haven't been badly beaten but we needed that extra lift and the cup has provided it."
The Falcons ought to have been playing Sale away on Friday in the Zurich Premiership but are happy enough to wait an extra 24 hours for confrontation!
"We're not kidding ourselves, we know it'll be tough," admitted May. "They have never ever won the cup - this is actually only their second ever final - and the incentive for them is huge too.
"We beat them 9-8 up here early in the season but matches with Sale are always close and hard going. They have a lot of good players - not just Robinson - and they are probably the favourites. But then so were Quins when we beat them in the final.
"We believe we can win again and that's what is crucially important."
It'll be a family occasion for May, just as it should be on momentous sporting occasions. Mam and dad, Jenny and Alan, will be in the Twickenham stands as they were for the Falcons' other two cup finals - then called the Tetley's Bitter Cup but now sponsored by Powergen - and girlfriend Kate will also be cheering him on.
Tom is from a rugby family - his dad was a club player, a left-winger, and son used to go along to watch him play and then spend hours kicking a ball round the field "while mam and dad were in the club house."
They still live in Dulwich but travel to watch Tom play whenever possible.
"Dad was in Spain when we played in the Parker Pen Cup and he spent three weeks in New Zealand when I played with the Falcons Under-21s and England Under-21s straight afterwards.
"Kate has become interested - she doesn't fly in from holiday in Dubai until Thursday and then leaves the next day for the cup final, so it's busy all right."
If May needed any last-minute inspiration then it came when he decided to play the video of the 2001 final for Kate, whom he didn't know at that time.
"I hadn't seen the tape but it was marvellous, so exciting, and the memories came flooding back," he smiled. "That's what I want again on Saturday - victory - but not in quite the same way. I don't want to have to wait until the 85th minute."
Such was the epic nature of the 30-27 victory over Quins that former England and British Lions star Paul Ackford was moved to say: "If any of the Rugby Union suits even dare contemplate consigning this great competition to history's waste-paper bin they should be marched out of office before they can draw breath."
The Falcons finally triumphed through four tries - two from May, another from Jim Jenner, and a last-gasp victory roll from Dave Walder.
They were 27-18 down, believe it or not, with only 11 minutes to go and Tom confessed: "I guess we were dead then but we didn't know it. We didn't realise how close to the end of the game it was. We were a bunch of kids in the main and we were in the heat of battle.
"I'd scored twice and, I won't lie, I can remember both of the tries very well they were so important to me.
"The first in the opening half was a five-metre run off Andy Mower and the second after the interval was further out and I had to sidestep the full-back.
"It was see-saw stuff with Quins coming back to score almost immediately both times."
The Falcons' winning strike was bathed in controversy as all unique moments frozen in sporting history tend to be.
Ian Peel, a Falcons replacement, was forced into touch by Harlequins defenders, which meant that Quins should have got the ensuing line-out but it went to Newcastle, who scored through Walder after a slick handling movement.
"Perhaps you need a bit of luck to win a cup final but Quins made no fuss about the line-out at the time," insisted May. "It was only mentioned in the aftermath.
"We knew we'd won when Dave went over because there was only time for the conversion and then the whistle went."
The celebrations were instant, wild and never ending.
"Tetley's were the sponsors at the time and we drank Tetley's Bitter from the cup all the way from Twickenham into the west end of London," laughed May.
"We had a crazy night at the party. It simply became a blur. The final was in February that year and it was snowing. I remember coming to outside in the street at 3am freezing cold and wondering where I was.
"For us it was heaven but for Harlequins it was hell. I've talked about it with Ben Gollings, who went on in the second half for Quins, and he says his memories of the same match are horrendous."
Two years earlier it was the same for the Falcons, beaten 29-19 by Wasps, who had successfully adopted a policy of "stop Inga and you stop Newcastle." Tuigamala scored a late try but it was merely by way of consolation.
"Our post-match banquet was a sombre affair that year," said May, a boy playing in a man's game. "I'd only celebrated my 20th birthday 10 days earlier and I hadn't played 10 first-team matches for the Falcons.
"I was virtually the only player of my generation in the team and I felt alone. We nearly all came through the ranks together in the current side and consequently work together, which pulls us through on occasions, but the '99 cup side was made up of the great old names like Tuigamala, Armstrong, Graham, Nesdale, Weir, Walton and Underwood. I was a rookie and felt an outsider - but that didn't stop defeat hurting.
"It was a bit of a shock that I was selected in the first place and I didn't deal with it as well as I should have done. I was disappointed with my performance."
Jonny Wilkinson, only 19, didn't have the best of games nor did he kick particularly well in Newcastle's victorious final.
The World Cup's ultimate hero won't be kicking on Saturday, of course, because injury has robbed him of all since Australia. That job will belong to the Falcons' try-scoring victor Dave Walder.
"Jonny will be our water boy and help with the warm-up," laughed May, only too aware of the rapid change of fortunes from national treasure to mundane helper.
"Actually, Jonny has been helping with our defensive play. He's got a part-time coaching job! Of course, he's a fabulous kicker, the very best, but Dave has done exceptionally well at fly-half. He's refocused and his all-round play as well as his kicking have been a major factor for us."
The desire is that come the defining moment Hugh Vyvyan will raise the cup towards the Geordie hordes - before going off to join Saracens for next season. An unusual situation which, in football, would have fans mumbling darkly of disloyalty.
"Oh, sure, I'm certain if Craig Bellamy or Kieron Dyer were about to leave Newcastle United there would be hell on and they could even be booed as a deserter," agreed Tom.
"But rugby is different. It isn't awash with cash and therefore the worst reason for leaving doesn't apply. Hugh cares passionately about the Falcons and will be straining every sinew to give us a great going-away present.
"It's just that his girlfriend lives in London and it makes sense for him to play down there."
That Saturday is a special occasion is obvious but it's an alien final as well, with the south for once on the outside looking in like a schoolboy with his nose pressed to the tuck shop window.
Only Newcastle have carried the northerly flag with any consistency - this is their sixth cup final either as Falcons or in their previous incarnations as Gosforth. Sale have contested two and Waterloo one. End of story.
The north-south divide has been totally breached in 2004 but, rather than a brand new name on the roll of honour, we wish to see Newcastle win their fourth trophy at headquarters.
Then Falcons like Tom May can join two-time Gosforth victors such as Peter Dixon, Malcolm Young, Duncan Madsen and Colin White in a Geordie Hall of Fame.
Page 2: Jonny Wilkinson persuaded me to come up to Tyneside
Jonny Wilkinson persuaded me to come up to Tyneside
The south, it is said, often view Geordies as wearing cloth caps, smoking a fag while walking their whippet, and dodging the coal dust from relentless rows of pit heaps.
When I mention it to Tom May he bursts out laughing. Born in Dulwich, the south east of London, he admits to just such heresy upon being asked to move to Newcastle to further his rugby career.
"I won't deny it," he admits when able to settle down again. "I was a teenager who had always lived in London and I was being asked to go to the other end of the country. The image I had was exactly as you describe it."
So what - or who - changed his mind and allowed him into God's own country?
It was Jonny Wilkinson no less, a Surrey boy who like Dr Livingstone had bravely ventured into the unknown hinterland of the North East a year beforehand.
"I knew Jonny well," explained May. "We'd played together for the South East regional team and England Schools and when I came up to Newcastle to have a look round Jonny met me. It was great to see a familiar face.
"Now, of course, I love Tyneside and I'm completely settled. I could easily stay in the area for the rest of my life."
Having discovered hidden nectar that's what they all say, Tom! It was Paul McKinnon, the Falcons development team manager, who discovered the May talent buried within the now defunct Richmond club and spirited him to the North East.
"The Falcons were playing Richmond and the development sides met one another as well," explained May.
"Paul saw me and eventually had a word when I played for England Colts along with Micky Ward. "The whole family was horrified initially because I'd be going so far away but my parents realised what it would mean for my career.
"The Falcons helped me to study at Newcastle University as well as play rugby.
"I was dead lucky - I was going to sign a contract for Richmond and go to the University of Brunel, which would have been a disaster because a year later Richmond went bust."
Page 3: Wing's prayer to play centre
Wing's prayer to play centre
Tom May will play on the wing in Saturday's cup final, the man with the heavy artillery to repel dangerously lurking Sharks.
Eleven tries make him the second most prolific marksman in the Premiership this season and is ample warning of what may happen. However, Tom doesn't see himself as a winger, insisting that his original position of centre is where he's best suited and most likely to flourish.
Indeed, if he's to add a full cap to his otherwise impressive range of England appearances at every age level then May is certain it'll be as a centre.
It was only towards the end of last season when All Blacks star Mark Mayerhofler was added to the Falcons roster in a desperate effort to avoid relegation that May was switched from a centre partnership with Jamie Noon out to the wing.
He returned to the centre after a couple of minutes against Leicester in the Falcons last league match when Jamie went off concussed but, come the final day of reckoning on Saturday, it'll be back to a wing and a prayer.
"You get a lot more time and space on the wing but I still see myself primarily as a centre," he insisted. "Certainly if I'm ever to win an England cap I believe it'll be in the centre.
"Actually, I've also been selected as a fly-half with the Falcons but I'm not sure that'll happen again!" May has struck a rich vein of scoring because, he believes, "I've backed myself a lot more.
"Of course, confidence plays a major part and I'm looking to make those crucial runs. I'm running the extra option line more.
"I scored only one try all last season - but then not many of us scored a lot. When we were six points adrift at the bottom of the table with only a handful of games to play it was the worst moment of my career.
"A lot of us had contracts up that summer, including me, and we were literally playing for our jobs. "I never thought then that a year later we'd be in the cup final and I'd be the second top try scorer in the Premiership."

Pain the price to pay for success
Two 'permanent' injuries don't phase a Twickenham Cup final performer. Tom May admits to having a persistent back problem all his senior career and, since last season, carrying a knee injury as well.
But such things are accepted as a minor price to pay in what is a highly physical sport - though the worry over his back, while hardly helped by his rugby endeavours, was actually not received in the line of paid duty.
"It's an old cricket injury from my schooldays," Tom laughed, "but I still feel it. It doesn't go away."
The injury to the cruciate in his left knee occurred in the last game of last season. He resisted an operation "because it was only a partial tear," was on crutches for two weeks, and deprived normal life for three months.
"I didn't miss matches, which was something, but I was in constant rehab," he revealed.
"I went to Spain on holiday with my girlfriend and trained constantly every day.
"I may be back playing and happy enough with my form but I can still feel my knee and need to warm up with our physio Marten Brewer rather than with Steve Black like the rest of the team.
"I require three sessions a week balance work or on weights. It's frustrating."
Convert supports the Toon
Tom May was always sports-minded but hated football. Now he's a Newcastle United fan.
The conversion is down to Kenny Shepherd, the son of United chairman Freddy and a personal friend.
"I played cricket, hockey and football as well as rugby at school but I never liked soccer," admitted Tom.
"Not until I came up here and met Kenny. Now I go to St James' Park to watch matches whenever my own commitments allow it. I love it. I'm a fan."
May, educated at Tonbridge School in Kent, took a year out to become an assistant PE teacher at his old prep school in London before heading north to Newcastle University.
Now he's back at uni despite being a Premiership star, but this time it's Northumbria.
Where he first studied business management it's sports management this time round. He's dabbling in the property business.
"I buy places and then rent them out to students or sell them on," said Tom, who lives in Jesmond. "I have to think about when I finish playing."

I needed this today.
by Shane Koyczan
I needed this today.
by Shane Koyczan
In my work at Seton Healthcare Family, I had the privilege of interviewing this family about their experience in one of our hospitals. All they wanted was time for the father to say goodbye. They got a great deal more.
"We expected to visit the hospital, get him stabilized and then take him back home. Suddenly, everything changed."
On a humid Sunday morning, a young man with Down syndrome entered the emergency room at Seton Medical Center Austin (SMCA), part of the Seton Healthcare Family, Austin, Texas. Accompanied by his mother and sister, he struggled to breathe. Thirty-two-year-old Eduardo Martinez had recently been diagnosed with kidney disease and was told he had six months to a year left. Within the hour, the prognosis changed dramatically. Eduardo was given less than two days to live.
"We were floored when the doctor told us the news," said Cecilia Martinez, Eduardo's sister. "We expected to visit the hospital, get him stabilized and then take him back home. Suddenly, everything changed. I started calling family to come to the hospital."
Though Eduardo's mother is local, his father lives in Mexico and had not seen Eduardo in 16 years. The family asked Seton to help the father cross the border and say goodbye.
Enter Dr. Truly Hall and Eileen West. Dr. Hall is the director of the Seton Adult Inpatient Medical Services (SAIMS) program at SMCA, which is on 38th Street in Austin. She is board certified in internal medicine, with seven years at Seton under her belt. Eileen West is a medical social worker at SMCA, spending every other Monday through Friday in the 4-North unit. On the weekends her role expands to "the whole house," meaning she covers all cases that are not in the Emergency Department or labor and delivery.
Around 2 p.m. that Sunday, West received a call from Dr. Hall about a family standing vigil in the ICU for their terminally ill son. The request for border crossing assistance was not a surprise. "Maybe once a year we have a case like this, and I've written to the Mexican Embassy for an emergency visa," said Dr. Hall. "But never on a Sunday."
Given the political upheaval at the Texas/Mexico border, West was concerned. "I said I'd get right on it, but then realized the Mexican Embassy was closed," she said. West spoke with Cecelia and decided to contact the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, since the family knew which one of the 26 crossing stations the father was going to enter.
How did she know where to start? "I just Googled it," she said nonchalantly. "I got a phone number, then was transferred and passed around a bit, but I ended up on the phone with a humanitarian care unit."
To cross the border on such short notice, Eduardo's father required detailed paperwork. Dr. Hall and West compiled six pages of materials outlining the situation. West provided Border Patrol agents with her personal cell phone, work phone and home phone. Then she hit a snag.
"The Border Patrol told me that I needed to give the paperwork to the family, and that the family should deliver the documents to the father at the border," said West. "But I told them, 'No. This young man is dying and the family is not leaving his side.'" Several faxes later, the paperwork was approved.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services allows foreign residents to apply for humanitarian parole for emergency situations. Handled on a case-by-case basis, approval generally takes between 60 and 120 days. With West's tenacious prodding, it took mere hours. West attributes her success to "A bit of luck – and someone must have taken pity on us!"
Meanwhile, Eduardo continued receiving comfort care. "Every single doctor, nurse, all the people we met – they are great people," recalled Cecelia. "We moved Eduardo to the third floor, and the nurses brought us pillows, blankets and a folding bed. Someone from the ICU made sure that we got a bigger room so we could all be near Eduardo. Even though it was a tough situation, the doctors and nurses never treated us or Eduardo dismissively. They knew it was hard."
A fitful night passed as the family waited. At 9 a.m. the next day, Eduardo's face split into a grin when his father walked into the room. As Cecilia described it, "I kept saying, 'Wow.' We didn't expect him to cross the border at all, especially on a Sunday. I am so impressed by Eileen. She was an angel for us."
Cecilia isn't the only one impressed by West's actions. "A lot of social workers — especially on a Sunday — they wouldn't even have tried to help the family, and no one would have batted an eye, considering she was also covering the whole house," said Dr. Hall. "The chaotic border situation didn't deter her; Eileen took care of everything. I don't know how she did it!"
Garry Olney, vice president and chief operating officer at SMCA concurred, adding, "This is amazing! It is what Humancare is all about. Eileen did a great job."
Lifted spirits were short-lived, however. Over the next few days, Eduardo's condition deteriorated. In his final hours a nurse noticed the family focused on the plummeting numbers and screeching beeps of the monitors surrounding him. She disconnected the monitors and encouraged the family to focus on Eduardo, adding, "He is more important than any numbers."
Thanks to West's thorough initial work, Eduardo's father was able to stay in town long enough to attend the burial. When asked why she went to such great lengths for this family, Eileen's answer was simple: "The most important thing I could do for the family was to get the father here."
She downplayed the significance of her actions, adding, "Every social worker does this; it's not out of the ordinary in our department. In fact, this is what many social workers accomplish before their first cup of coffee or morning rounds!" Caffeinated or not, West exemplifies Humancare, going above and beyond her required duties to impact lives.
Cecilia has a message for the staff at SMCA: "We are very thankful for Seton. From the ER to the final day in the hospital, everybody treated us like family. A lot of people discriminate against people with disabilities, but Seton showed great love and care for my brother. There are several hospitals we could have gone to and we ended up at the right one. We received so much support. I don't have the words to describe the experience. Please tell all the Seton staff thank you."

Recently given a choice between dining at a hole-in-the wall Cuban restaurant, a Mom 'n Pop Indian food spot and a local Irish pub, I chose Red Lobster. It's inexplicable. Folks, I haven't been to Red Lobster in…[counts on both hands]…6 years? Yet all I wanted in that moment were baskets of cheddar bay biscuits.
After appropriately stuffing my face with four course for $14.99 including unlimited biscuits, I was quite happy – and also curious. How hard is it to make their famous biscuits? A Google search reveals a host of copycat recipes but I wanted one with instant gratification. Enter this super easy recipe from Love Bakes Good Cakes.
Drawback: that whole lactose intolerance thing means I don't keep dairy milk or shredded cheddar cheese around. Turns out, it doesn't matter! The almond milk and veggie shreds incorporated perfectly, along a few tweaks for personal preference. I just ate 3 of these babies, 2 with ham and mustard and honey, and one straight up. Ho boy, this is going in the stack of new favorites:
2 cups Bisquick mix
⅔ cup milk – I used almond
½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded – I used Go Veggie! Parmesan, Mozzarella and Romano blend
1 TB butter, melted
2 TBS margarine, divided
1 tsp. olive oil
⅛ tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp. parsley flakes
⅛ tsp. salt
⅛ tsp. garlic powder – I used onion powder
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the Bisquick, milk and cheese until a soft dough forms. Drop by 9 spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Top each biscuit with a spread of margarine (see picture 1).
3. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown on the tops and sides. Remove from oven. top each biscuit with another sliver of margarine. (I'm not going for health here, people, and these biscuits need salty tops).
4. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, 1 TBS margarine, olive oil, Old Bay, salt, garlic or onion powder and parsley. Brush the butter mixture over the warm biscuits.
5. Eat! Repeat.
Next time I'll probably use faux cheddar cheese to obtain that classic orange color, and garlic powder in the butter topping blend. But I am very pleased overall. To boot, the entire process took 15 minutes!
I wonder how many I can eat before the bf notices?
Sometimes I feel like the quirky one; the person whose head is tilted to the side and whose glasses are a different hue. This can be a highly enjoyable, amusing … Continue reading Embrace the Quirkmeister
I generally consider casseroles to be sad, overcooked, under-spiced concoctions served lukewarm at church dinners with low expectations.
But lo! It is not so! This recipe changed my mind and I can't get enough of it. No… really, I try not to eat the whole pan in one sitting. After trying this at a friends' home where two kiddos live, I modified it from the original recipe for a more adult palate. My significant other tops it with hot sauce for a bit more punch.
– 10 oz can condensed cream of broccoli OR cream of mushroom soup
– 1/3 cup mayonnaise (I use canola mayonnaise to avoid trans fats)
– 2 TBS milk or milk-product
– 1 1/2 cups-ish reduced fat sharp cheddar shredded cheese
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
– 1 TB white sugar
– 1 tsp black pepper
– 4 TBS+ whole grain mustard (Don't skip this)
– 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (Don't overdo this)
– 1 tsp+ salt, to taste
– 32 oz bag of frozen broccoli, thawed in the microwave and coarsely chopped
– 1 1/2 cups COOKED quinoa (see below)
1. Cook quinoa: combine 3/4 cup quinoa, 1 1/2 cups water and 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until fluffy and the white ring/tail is visible. Fluff with a fork.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat a shallow 9×13 casserole dish with vegetable cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl combine the soup, mayonnaise, milk, shredded cheese, sugar, pepper, mustard, 1/2 cup Parmesan and nutmeg until well mixed. Stir in the quinoa and chopped broccoli.
4. Spoon mixture into prepared dish. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly on the edges and golden. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving — or dive in and scald your tongue.

I don't know about you, but our Superbowl Party averaged at least 1.5 bags of chips per person and awesome amounts of nachos, hummus, baby veggies, bean dip (two kinds!) and beer. Needless to say, we brought home leftovers. Up for a challenge of re-purposing cheese dip for something other than consumption with corn chips, I created the following recipe.
Before: Half a crock-pot of cold Rotel dip, which – for the uninitiated – consists of a block of Velveeta cheese + 2 cans of Rotel
After: Spicy Macaroni and Cheese with Broccoli
Process: I bought 2 boxes of elbow pasta (buy one, get one free!) and brought one box to a boil. With about 6 minutes left, I dumped in a bag of frozen broccoli. Why use an extra pot when it's all mixing together anyway?
I drained the pasta/broccoli mix, and scopped out half of the leftover Rotel dip into the bottom of pot. I topped this with the pasta/broccoli mix and then added the rest of the leftover Rotel dip on top. I let it sit about a minute or so to start melting. Stir, stir, and viola! 5-6 servings of mac 'n cheese with a side of broccoli thrown in for healthy good measure.
Rating: 5 stars. I ate 3 bowls of this before pulling down the Tupperwares and freezing the rest. Quick, easy comfort food.
TIP: You could thrown in other vegetables or meat you have on hand, and use any dried pasta that's languishing in your cabinet.
Hmm, apparently I'm not all that innovative. Check out this list of recipes for macaroni and cheese with Rotel.
I have a thing for Thai and Indian food flavors – I love the (medium) heat, the complexity of the spices, the warmth and comfort. Yet in spite of owning 5 cookbooks on the methods, I just haven't yet duplicated any restaurant quality recipes at home.
This one comes close.
Originally created by my big sister as a crockpot dish, I ran out of time and decided to wing it and make it in the oven. Below is the recipe I'll use next time, with adjustments included as I went along.
6-8 Chicken tenderloins
1 can coconut milk – not the light stuff, people
1 can pineapple chunks
1 small can tomato paste (do they even make large cans?)
1 large green or red bell pepper, chopped
3 TBS curry powder
1 TB minced garlic
4 TBS chopped fresh basil, divided
Juice of ½ lemon
2 TBS olive oil
1 TBS salt – for real, it needs it
prepared Rice (optional)
baby spinach (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place olive oil and chickens in a baking dish.
2. Using an immersion blender or other device, blend together coconut milk, juice from pineapple can, ½ of the pineapple chunks, tomato paste, ½ of the chopped bell pepper, curry powder, garlic, salt and pepper. The sauce is a festive orange and feels slightly thick.
3. Pour the pureed mixture over the chicken, flipping the chicken to coat it. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes.
4. Remove from oven. Stir in remaining pineapple chunks, remaining chopped bell pepper and 3 TBS basil. Cook another 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked and sauce bubbles around the edges of the pan.
5. Remove pan from the oven. Squeeze lemon juice and top with basil. Serve over rice and baby spinach.
To make it in a crock pot, place oil, chicken and blended sauce in a crock pot on low for 6 hours. The final 15 minutes or so, complete step 4 — just long enough to warm everything up.
I enjoyed this dish, though it was a tad bitter for my tastes. What would you recommend to make it even better? Sugar? Butter? Flaked coconut?
During the holidays my patience wears thin — with others and with myself. I beat myself up for missing workouts, overeating, overdrinking, not focusing, missing connections, buying too much stuff, … Continue reading Be Kind

Here's what it's all about with the facts thrown in for good measure.
Marketing people position what they do as strategic, right, ok. So high level thinking that sets the direction of the brand, determines future product and services content and keeps a watchful on the the sales funnel.
For me, if marketing becomes 'strategic' people stop looking at whether their activity has an effect on revenue or profit. Clever brands approach marketing as a tactical activity that either generates sales leads or makes those sales leads easier to convert. They measure marketing based on the number enquiries and sales conversions that get made as a direct result from any activity.
Fact – Marketing should be tactical.
The idea here is that the sales function is part of the overall marketing strategy. So, when customers buy, can marketing really take all the credit? So we got a sale because we created 'brand awareness'… really! What you really want is to work with sales on the practical issues – like getting great qualified leads.
Fact – Sales should drive marketing.
Yeah right, the idea that marketing initiatives like advertising, can somehow convince customers and prospective customers to view a product or service in a certain way. That only works if a product or service has a huge budget to spend on a multi-channel campaign. The key here is the customer's experience with the product or service actually creates the brand. Remember your brand isn't your logo, strapline etc (Read my blog on 'What do we mean by a brand' http://www.hookson.com/what-do-we-mean-by-a-brand/). Your brand contains the emotions that customers feel when they think about your product or service.
Fact – Customer experience creates brands.
