I really don't know what to write here…
But, since I いま黒執事に嵌ってます, most of my post here have been, so far, Kuroshitsuji. But since the anime's about to end (but manga still lives on), I'll try to "expand" my posts :p
My current weekly (updated 2010.3.28) "must-watch" anime are: Kuroshitsuji (I buy DVDs as they become released so I do rewatch haha), Gintama (ditto DVDs and hoping it continues soon), One Piece, Durarara!!, Kimi ni Todoke, BakaTest, ….
Must-read manga: instead of naming titles individually I'll just put it this way: Weekly Shonen Jump (I read titles from WSJump the most; Gintama and D.Gray-man are a die-hard must!), G-Fantasy (namely Kuroshitsuji, PandoraHearts, Durarara!!. LaLa (don't laugh! I'm あくまで女の子ですから/double whack for yet another Kuroshitsuji pun).
Besides manga/anime? Tons of other stuffs too much mention, but they got nothing to do with anime/manga… 🙂

Mom's Banana Bread Made Vegan
1 cup of sugar (I use Florida crystals)
1/2 cup of butter substitute (Earth Balance)
egg substitute for 2 eggs (2 tablespoons of flax, ground up works well, and 6 tablespoons
of water)
3 bananas (though 2 will work)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups of flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Put all of the above ingredients into a bowl and beat together with a mixer until smooth. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for roughly 45 minutes at 325 degrees or until a toothpick comes out clean. It may take slightly longer to cook than 45 minutes.
This recipe works well at both sea level and higher altitudes (I usually add an extra bit of flour for cooking at altitude).
This is soooo good. I used applesauce for half the oil & use about half the sugar. I used about 1/4 white sgar & 1/4 brown sugar. I also added some pecans. I love this recipe!
SWEET! ~What a find, & so simple. I did add nutmeg & cinnamon on top b4 putting into the oven. I will make again for sure.
Delicious! I followed this recipe, adding walnuts and whole wheat flour and it turned out amazing. My parents even love it and can't believe it's vegan. Thanks a bunch! ;)b
this recipe is amazing! i really didn't think it'd be as moist as i remember traditional banana bread to be. i also had to cook it longer...about an hour and 5 minutes and also cut back on sugar to 3/4c. i made this last night with the intention of saving half a loaf for myself and my boyfriend and giving the other half to my parents but we ate too much of it! this morning i made a whole loaf for my parents...i dunno how anyone can resist eating this whole thing.
how much does it rise in the pan?
Mine didn't rise too high. almost to the top. i split it into 4 mini loaves, so i have yet to see how one standard size loaf comes out.
mine rose all the way and a bit over the top! it was perfect...i really should have taken a picture. but it was just so yummy, it gone in about an hour!!1
This bread was soooooo good. Banana bread was one of my favorite treats as a kid and I have been craving a good loaf for a while (YEARS). This bread was moist and perfectly sweet. Outstanding. I ran out of my white sugar, so I did half a cup white and half a cup brown sugar plus a dash of cinnamon. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
oh my goodness...this bread is waaay, way too good! it is the best banana ive ever tasted! (i should take a picture before its gone!)
the only things i did differently were: 1/3 cup canola oil for eb, 1/2 cup sugar, added 1 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/2 cup applesauce for the eggs.
this is simply perfect!
p.s my frozen bananas worked really well!
note: i cooked my loaf at 350 for a little over 1 hour.

Poor Kristen Stewart! Robert Pattinson And Katy Perry 'Have Always Liked Each Other,' According To Pals
This isn't the first time that Robert Pattinson's 'close friendship' has been questioned and following the showbiz pair's recent New York hang out, this has now allegedly pushed Kristen Stewart to breaking point, with new reports stating that the actress 'feels betrayed' over the whole thing.
Rob and Katy hung out at a Daughter gig in the Big Apple 2 weeks before the Twilight actor split from K-Stew and now sources have spoken out about just how intimate the duo got, with actress Bella Rapone, a friend of Katy's, told the Daily Star last night that the couple have 'always liked each other.'
Bella tells the paper: "She and Rob started off in the Bowery Ballroom, where they watched a gig by the indie band Daughter with a whole bunch of people, mainly pals of hers."
"Then they took off with a smaller group for a much more intimate venue, The Spot at the Trump SoHo Hotel, where it was obvious there was chemistry between them," adding: "They've always liked each other."
Bella said R-Patz is "outraged" at the way Katy was treated by ex husband Russell Brand and singer John Mayer, 35, who she dumped in March for cheating on her.
And the pal also said that Katy had no idea why Pattinson took Kristen back after she cheated on him with Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Saunders.
"Both Rob and Katy have been so unlucky in love and now it's almost as if they are kindred spirits. Katy says she finds him adorable and he is clearly very attracted to her," said Bella.
"They were the last to leave the Spot Lounge and, while there were no public displays of affection, it was very clear they were extremely happy in each other's company."

After Pattinson flew back to LA he and Kristen are said to have rowed over his "date" with Katy.
Bella added: "She kept asking him how he could think of betraying her in public after all they had been through."
"Rob said something like that was rich coming from her. The argument descended into a yelling match. At the end, Rob said he'd had enough, packed his bags and walked out on her for a second time."
Previous rumours have suggested that the 'California Girl' superstar even urged Rob to dump his other half!
"Katy told Rob she didn't think their relationship could withstand the cheating scandal," an insider tells Life & Style.
"And he deserved better than someone who would destroy a family [like Rupert's]."
"Katy liked Kristen, but ultimately she's loyal to Rob and wants that's best for him," the source continued. "I know he always leans on her during hard times, and Katy would do anything for him."
What do you think? Do Rob and Katy make a cute couple?

Very good 8.2 From 34 reviews
This is my first time to traveled alone the hotel ufuk is very nice it is clean nice service. But I don't like the toilet in my room it is too narrow. But I enjoyed to stayed in ufuk Hotel.
It turns out, as the manager explained on the 2nd day, this little pension is for summer overflow; it isn't really equipped to handle winter guests. That was great to know after we were already there! The first night, our room smelled like sewage and we had very little heat (in -0C weather), while our friend in a single room had no heat at all. Yes, there was hot water. Skimpy breakfast. Otherwise, pleasant hosts and pet friendly.
The owner and his staff are nice and help. Helped to booked tours in reasonable prices. The location is good too.
the place is strategic, dont have to walk far to find shops or place to eat. overall its good place if u just wanna find a place to sleep overnight.
Is the description of this property not correct? Tell us

What a Shame
25 Jan 2012|Cultural Insight Team
Shame is a film about sexual addiction, but only in the same way as watching the patrons at a pub is a commentary on alcoholism. It comes across as a technically astute film, a finely crafted picture window, but one that lacks any emotional appeal. In a techno-mediascape of nearly endless observation, the role of art should be so much more than passive voyeur or disinterested presenter. Compelling communication should raise an interesting question. Captivating communication posits an answer.
The film's director, Steve McQueen, in a Q&A following the British premiere, actively avoided offering any judgement at all on the behaviour of his characters or the content of his work. When asked if the audience should feel hope for the protagonist's future, McQueen responded simply that, "I don't know." His implication is that he has made a film, has finished his work and moved on, and is leaving it at that. While McQueen's reticence is at once refreshing in its matter-of-factness, demystifying and blunt, it is also somewhat frigid in its adherence to the bare-bones of filmic productionism.
McQueen was at pains to show that the plight of his lead was that of an 'everyman,' but Brandon (Michael Fassbander) is so superficially vacant, so without any characterising elements that he in effect becomes a 'no man.' Even the world he inhabits, an up-scale Manhattan, is a faceless granite slab made up of offices with bare walls, sterile white flats and featureless streets. Even Brandon himself is dressed in a pallete of cold whites and muted greys. The absence of any colorizing touches reduces the character to a simple carrier for the film's real star, sexual addiction, who makes countless appearances.
For a film that presents such a controversial subject, it goes to lengths to present it with as little commentary as possible, as an object for contemplation with no judgemental steering. Which leaves us wondering what the point was…prev next

Last year, I added data science to my talks. This year, I'm planning on growing more of my technical skills – learning React, Vue, and Node.js. In terms of talks, servant leadership has joined the family of topics, and it's a topic I'm excited to present. These are just some of the topics I am presenting in 2018.
Data Science with Python, R, and SQL Server
In 2017, I had a goal to start looking into data science topics and see what's in store. By the end of 2017, I started talking about how you can use Python and R on SQL Server to bring the computations to the data, rather than bringing the data to the computing. With regards to adventures in 2018, I plan on continuing looking into data science topics and continue talking about Python and R and how they can be used on SQL Server.
The next talk for this is:
- The Polyglot Data Scientist – Adventures with R, Python, and SQL – CodeMash – 1/12
- The Polyglot Data Scientist – Adventures with R, Python, and SQL – Cleveland .NET User Group – 1/25
Mentoring was a topic that came up a couple years back and continues to come up. Whether it's from the perspective of being a mentor and how to become a better mentor or from the perspective of being a mentee and how to find and engage mentors, I have talks that address various angles of mentoring. My career wouldn't be this successful if I tried to go this alone – I have wonderful mentors in various aspects (tech, business, and life) who have guided me along the way. In my past roles, I've had the privilege to mentor over 200 career shifters who have wanted to go into development or who have been in development a short time. I also am in the process of formalizing mentoring programs for those who want to do formal mentoring programs at their companies but aren't sure how to implement it or how to administer it.
My upcoming talks include:
- Bringing Up Future Techies – NEOISF – 1/17
- Making the Most of the Mentoring Relationship – Developer on Fire Remote Conference – 1/22-1/24
New to my topics in 2018, I am presenting a talk on servant leadership. Growing up with a father who showcased servant leadership, as well as reading his cousin's book on servant leadership, this is something that runs in my family and comes naturally to me. I have had numerous leadership experiences as well as a few formal roles, and all of my experiences plus the guidance I learned early on come to life in this talk. When I present on servant leadership, I present it from a tech's perspective, working in the trenches with my tech support team, coaching my junior developers, and alongside my fellow tech educators. I include stories of things I've done that would cause people to raise eyebrows and yet realize why it's okay – and sometimes necessary – to make decisions that may seem absurd but have underlying reasons.
For those who want to see it in action, it's currently lined up at:
- Becoming a Servant Leader, Leading from the Trenches – CodeMash – 1/11
Other Topics
There are other topics that I have talks for and am still interested in speaking on. These topics include:
- User Experience (UX) for Developers – why it matters and what we as developers can look for and do to make things easier all around
- Social Media and Personal Branding – how we can take little steps to help stand out in the sea of developers
- History of Women in Tech – can do a general talk or can tailor this to specific areas of interest (particular tech communities such as a particular language or user group)
- The Importance of Professional Development and how to find opportunities – affordable ways to grow your skills and the importance of staying relevant in the field
- Acceptance Test Driven Development / Behavior Driven Development – understanding the concepts and how to apply it in various languages (C#, Java, Ruby, Python, and soon to add JavaScript)
- Growing and Supporting a Tech Community – geared for those who may not have much of a tech community and how to start it and get it going. This includes talking about networking and how to promote your community.
If you are interested in any of these or would like to have me present these at a user group or conference, please reach out to me either via email, Twitter, or in the comments here. I enjoy talking with others, sharing knowledge and learning from others' stories as well. Looking forward to meeting others and sharing more knowledge in 2018!

Official Trailer for Repulsive Documentary 'Caniba' About Cannibalism
by Alex Billington
September 18, 2018
Source: YouTube
"I can't stomach this anymore. It's too much." Grasshopper Film has debuted the full trailer for a chilling, disgusting, fascinating documentary titled Caniba, which premiered at the Venice, Toronto, and New York Film Festivals last year - finally getting an official release this year. It's the latest film from the directors of Leviathan and Somniloquies. The controversial documentary is an intimate portrait of Japanese cannibal Issei Sagawa. It's described as "a film that reflects on the discomforting significance of cannibalistic desire in human existence through the prism of one Japanese man, Issei Sagawa, and his mysterious relationship with his brother, Jun Sagawa." This is a very hard film to watch, and there were many walkouts at festival screenings last year, because many may not be able to stomach it at all. Don't eat before watching the trailer.
Official trailer for Lucien Castaing-Taylor & Verena Paravel's documentary Caniba, direct from YouTube:
In 1981, the young Japanese Issei Sagawa murdered a Dutch student in Paris and ate part of his body. Declared as mentally ill, he did not face a normal trial, and after spending two years in a French clinic, he returned to Japan. There he wrote a book, published a manga about his crime and even appeared in pornography. In an attempt to unravel the dark motives that led him to cannibalism, the anthropologists and filmmakers Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor, perform in Caniba, his third full-length film, an atypical and sensory portrait of Sagawa, who more than 35 years of the events in Paris, lives suffering from a paralysis that keeps him partially immobilized. Caniba is directed by filmmakers Lucien Castaing-Taylor & Verena Paravel, both of the docs Leviathan and Somniloquies previously. This first premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year, plus the Toronto, Vancouver, and New York Film Festivals. Grasshopper Film will release Caniba in select US theaters (here) starting October 19th this fall. Anyone?

How Do I Use Loose Moissanite Stones?
Silicon carbide, also known as moissanite, is a very rare mineral. Found as inclusions in other minerals, it has very few natural sources, one of which is meteorites. Due to its rarity, it is now synthesized in laboratories. Often used in jewelry, loose moissanite stones can be purchased on their own and used as a starting point for buyers to create their own custom jewelry.
Moissanite is very similar in appearance and properties to diamonds but has an even higher luster and sparkle. Like diamonds, it is extremely hard and does not easily scratch, making it ideal for use in jewelry. Jewelry made from moissanite is popular, appearing commonly as rings, necklaces, and earrings. The mineral can also be found in brooches and bracelets.
People purchase moissanite from jewelers as ready-to-wear jewelry that has already been placed in settings. They also buy loose moissanite stones from jewelry stores or from online dealers. These loose stones can then be customized into jewelry as desired. Although sold in a variety of locations, there is only a single legitimate manufacturer of the stones, Charles & Colvard. When buying loose moissanite stones, it is important to make sure that they come with a certificate of authenticity of having been produced at this particular laboratory.
You can purchase loose moissanite stones in a variety of cuts suitable to create your own custom jewelry. They are hand-faceted in the same cuts available for diamonds, including princess, marquis, and pear. Aside from the standard moissanite, some are available that have a delicate, green coloring added. Although not graded using the same scale as diamonds, cut, clarity, color, and carats are often taken into consideration when determining price, although standards are adjusted accordingly.
Moissanite is less expensive than diamonds, and purchasing the stones loose can help reduce the cost even further. Prices for singular stones can range from just under $100 US dollars (USD) to well over $10,000 USD. Nearly any setting can be used for moissanite that be used for diamonds, including gold, platinum, and sterling silver.
People choose loose moissanite stones for a number of uses. The jewelry may be a surprise gift, and thus, an individual buys the stone and cut, then he or she can choose the setting at a later date to ensure proper fit and accordance to taste. Loose stones can also be used to replace stones that have been lost from other pieces of jewelry or to fit antique settings.

Gingerbread Prosecco is definitely my tipple this year for Christmas, last year it was my Hot Chocolate Cocktail and the year before mulled cider, but at the moment my drink of choice this festive season is the Gingerbread Prosecco.
Personally, I would just like to buy it in a bottle, open it and pour myself a nice fizzy flute but I've yet to see it in my super markets, so I've made my own Easy Gingerbread Prosecco Recipe. I did plan to make my own gingerbread syrup but ginger is impossible to peel and with all the other prep around Christmas I took a sneaky short cut and bought a bottle of Bobby's Coffee Gingerbread syrup and it's delicious and could be used in coffee, hot chocolate or even drizzled over ice cream.

Wednesday night saw the launch of About Town, a video art exhibition presented by the Hippodrome in collaboration with Ikon Gallery. As its title suggests, the exhibition is spread out across a different urban spaces, all within the Southside area, from the Back-to-Backs and the theatre itself to Hurst Street's Gallan Car Park. Free of charge, the exhibition is currently open to the public from 4-10pm daily until Sunday 16th November.
Intended to present some of the best in international video art and to provide viewers with a fresh perspective on familiar environments, About Town incorporates work ranging from intimate interviews to large-scale, multi-screen installation pieces. As the Hippodrome's Chief Executive Stuart Griffiths explained, the exhibition was initially inspired by a visit to La Biennale international art festival in Venice, and the diversity of art on display reflects that of Birmingham itself.
About Town falls within the remit of Hippodrome Plus, the theatre's continually expanding outdoor and outreach branch that also oversees things like Summer in Southside and the youth ambassador scheme. For Ikon, meanwhile, there was another motivation for getting involved: as the gallery prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, now is a great time to look back over some of the work it had displayed over the years.
Beginning in the Hippodrome's own Qdos Lounge, Marjolyn Diikman's Wandering Through the Future takes viewers on a journey through things to come as envisaged in the movies, with a series of film clips arranged chronologically according to their setting, from 2008 through to 802.701. This fun, playful exhibit prompts questions about the things we want and expect from the future.
Meanwhile, in the foyer, Kelly Mark's Hiccup #2 shows the Canadian artist sitting in the same position on the steps of the old Birmingham Library at the same time for five consecutive days. The fact that, each day, many of the same people pass her without noticing her performing the same actions calls attention to both the many things we ignore in our daily routines and the monotony of modern life, themes that crop up again in various other exhibits.
Scattered around the theatre are a series of clips entitled Happiness in Mitte, depicting stray cats drinking milk left out by the artist, Adel Abdessemed, in Berlin's Mitte district. This proved popular among conscious attendees, though the small, inconspicuous screens are easy to miss if you're not looking for them, leading to parallels being drawn between this and Hiccup #2.
In the Back-to-Backs, a very 'meta' piece called Video Times shows the artist, Kevin Atherton, watching television, staring back at viewers from the screen he appears on. The film is accompanied by a magazine containing scripted directions for his actions, printed in the style of a TV listings guide like the Radio Times. Created in 1984, this self-reflexive yet oddly cosy and domestic piece predates not only reality shows like Gogglebox and Big Brother, but also the culture of CCTV surveillance to which we've now become accustomed.
Upstairs, Heather and Ivan Morison invite viewers to enjoy the simple pleasures of an English country garden, while next door, a series of fascinating extracts from Cornelia Parker's interview with Noam Chomsky demand a little more of our time. Santiago Serra's Person Saying a Phrase deals with the issue of homelessness, another subject that emerges more than once in this exhibition.
One of About Town's most eye-catching and instantly engaging pieces is Birmingham-born Grace Ndiritu's The Nightingale, showing in Route 2 Havana Car Park opposite Southside's Nightingale gay club. Her piece explores issues of identity and stereotyping with regards to race and gender, using the simple tool of a red, patterned scarf. By variously becoming, through a series of transformational movements, a headscarf, blindfold, hajib, burka, veil, bandanna, turban, gag and purdah, the scarf playfully references an assortment of different cultures, all present in the multicultural melting pot of the West Midlands.
The exhibition culminates in a sensory feast in Gallan Car Park, where a series of huge installations are displayed side-by-side, surrounding viewers with light and sound. Like Saying a Phrase, Roy Arden's Citizen tackles the issue of homelessness, showing a young man in the centre of a traffic intersection as seen from a moving car. Like Hiccup #2, Citizen also prompts reflection on the things we often fail to see.
Junebum Park's 1 Parking and Oliver Beer's Pay and Display are well-suited to the car park setting. The latter features some eerie choral work by Ex Cathedra and some slightly scary, emotionless performances from children: it's certainly one to hold your attention, as long as you're not put off by its creepiness! Meanwhile, Yang Zhenzhong's Let's Puff places viewers in between two screens, one showing a busy Shanghai Street, the other showing a woman blowing air in sharp bursts. As she exhales, the scene opposite shifts, and we find ourselves thrown into another part of the street.
The most instantly emotive and visceral of the exhibits, however, must be Gillian Wearing's Broad Street. In this (at times uncomfortably) immersive piece, viewers find themselves ringed about with screens showing club-goers courting, arguing and otherwise interacting in central Birmingham, with lots of alcohol involved. Experiencing this in a dark, chilly car park has the effect of making us feel as though we're really out at night on Broad Street. Troublingly voyeuristic though strangely fascinating, the installation is sure to inspire a variety of reactions depending on viewers' own experiences of similar nights out.
About Town is showing across Southside until Sunday 16th November, from 4-10pm. For more information, visit the Birmingham Hippodrome website.

I'm tired
I'm worn
My heart is heavy
From the work it takes
To keep on breathing
I've made mistakes
I've let my hope fail
My soul feels crushed
By the weight of this world
Life has ups and downs, and it has times that are harder and times that are easier. Unfortunately, it is tough to see out of the harder times when we are in them. When we feel like everything we do is more difficult because of life pushing us down. We don't even feel that hope that eventually things will get better. It is even more difficult when you have never felt that low before.
The first time that I fell into a really low spot like this was during my freshman year of college. It was a very difficult transition for me. A lot of the people I knew from high school moved away to go to different collages, and of the people who stayed in town, I still saw them a lot less than I did in high school. At the time, I had two other really close friends who I had known from church. Since I had drifted from people at high school, they had become my closest friends over the summer between high school and college. Unfortunately, when school started, they both became very busy, and I didn't get to see them at all as much as I would have liked to.
School had started, and I started to get adjusted to the new schedule, but I never made any new friends there. I felt very alone a lot of the time. Around this time is actually when I first heard the song "Worn," and I identified heavily with it. Between the difficulty and newness of school, working tons of hours at my job at the grocery store, and not having enough time with the people that I cared about, I was hurting a lot.
To make matters worse, I couldn't see a way out. I had a block of time in between classes where I would come home, and eventually it became the time I would come home and cry my eyes out. I didn't know what to do. I was hurting and I couldn't see a way it would ever stop.
Towards the end of the year, I was blessed with a situation where I was able to talk to a friend about what I was feeling, and even though he knew some of it, he finally got the whole truth. At that point, I didn't see any way things could get better, and I felt like giving up.
I didn't give up, and things did get better. I could finally feel hopeful again. Of course, it's not like everything was perfect from there on, there were plenty of ups and downs, but the downs have always seemed more hopeful than they did my freshman year.
Now, three and a half years after starting collage, I find myself graduated, and at another transitional period in my life. Unfortunately, I still find it hard to deal with these types of transitions. To be honest, I am terrified of this transition to 'real life.' And even though I have made a lot more friends since I started college, I still don't get to see some of them even close to as often as I would like to. Again, I find myself taking walks around the neighborhood late at night in tears.
The difference is, this time, I do have hope. I have seen God work in my life the last time I felt this way, and he brought me through it. I have a mental list of songs that I go to when I am having a tough time. One of those songs is "It's Alright" by Brandon Heath, and its chorus is always encouraging.
It's alright
Everything will be okay
You just hold tight
I'll be with you the whole way
When you're weak
I'll be strong
Keep going, we're almost home
It's alright
Everything will be okay

New World supermarkets' annual Beer & Cider Awards were announced on Monday. It's a varied line up, ranging from major brewers international and local, to a couple of little gems.
Epic Armageddon picked up yet another gold medal – its fourth in a year. Brewer Luke Nicholas must be an alchemist, because he's clearly invented a gold-magnet here.
Other established craft brewers were also represented – Garage Project, Tuatara, Moa, Kereru and Good George. But it was two small craft brewers who caught my eye for their best-in-class results: Sparks Brewing Prospector Farmhouse Ale and Eagle Brewing Coalface Stout.
Sparks Brewing's a small contract brewer based in Auckland, and owner Adam Sparks says "the win means we've made more beer last month than we have in the past year."
New World says best-in-class winners are required to deliver 2400L-3600L of bottled or canned beer during the Awards' promotion. "I'm essentially a home brewer", says Adam, "but we decided to make a full batch of Prospector just before the awards, and so we were able to fulfill the order."
To date all Sparks' commercial production has been brewed at Scott's Brewing. "They deserve a big thank you!" Adam is now scaling up his recipe again to do a 6000L batch at 8 Wired.
And Eagle Brewing's Dave Gaughan, in Christchurch, says the win will be good publicity for Coalface Stout and the Eagle brewery. "It came at the right time, because buying out Raindogs Brewing last year allowed us to double our capacity and all the Coalface orders can be made in-house.
"The award will give us exposure into places we haven't been previously. It's an endorsement for us because we do all our own stuff. We do our own recipes, all the brewing, everything. The award is a pat on the back for our work and it makes it all worthwhile."
Dave says Eagle's plans for growth are on-going. He'll be exhibiting at Melbourne's GABS festival next month and wants to get into exporting.

Mark Kennedy and Mark Staufer have been dropped from The Sound Breakfast show, only two weeks after a rant by Staufer lost him his RadioLive job.
MediaWorks announced today the two radio hosts are leaving the station after only five weeks on air.
"This is a disappointing decision to make, but it is clearly the best decision for the station and its audience," said MediaWorks Group Programme Director Andrew Szusterman.
"We had high hopes for The Kennedy & Staufer Breakfast Show, but after five weeks on air we recognise the show is not right for The Sound."
The two radio hosts said in a statement that it was a "great experience" but that it was time for them to move on.
A permanent replacement is yet to be appointed.
The decision comes only two weeks after Mark Staufer's late night slot on RadioLive was canned following an inappropriate rant involving foul language.
Comments made by Staufer on the 10pm-1am show included the words "f***" and "motherf*****" and a discussion on the age he began masturbating and how many abortions a friend had had by the time she was 18.
The audio of the Friday night show was pulled from RadioLive's website and an apology issued to listeners.

One of the most common myths I hear for not establishing a school garden is that students are not in school in the summer when vegetables are being grown. Now, this is true for many hot crops such as tomatoes, peppers, melons, cucumbers and blueberries. However, there are many tasty and nutritious crops that are grown primarily in the spring or fall while school is in session, such as lettuces, peas, radishes, broccoli, cauliflower and strawberries.
Growing food crops in the spring or fall has many advantages. Non-traditional cool season crops offer the opportunity of teaching students about the health and economic benefits of eating vegetables and fruits in season when they are the most abundant, tasty and least expensive. There is also the opportunity to teach that growing these crops during the cooler parts of the season avoids problems that plague these crops during the hotter summer months. For example, cauliflower heads will not develop in the hot and often dry temperatures of Michigan summers. Leaf lettuces often send up a flowering stem (also known as bolting) when temperatures rise and the leaves turn bitter, ruining their taste for salads. Rain is also typically more plentiful in spring and fall thereby reducing the need and cost for additional irrigation.
Unique learning opportunities
Fall and spring are also excellent times to learn about cover crops, and can teach children (and adults) the importance of protecting the soil from erosive winter winds – hence the name "cover" crops. Restorative cover crops are grown specifically to improve or protect the soil, and often do not produce a harvestable crop other than improved soils. Many cover crops are in the legume or bean plant family that adds nitrogen to the soil acting as natural fertilizers.
Cool season crops can also teach students about season extension techniques such as hoophouses and the high price out of season crops can demand. Michigan State University Extension produced a bulletin entitled "Hoophouse Farming Startup: Economics, Efforts and Experiences from 12 Novice Hoophouse Farms" that could serve as an easy resource for season extension learning.
Increased community involvement
Summer school programs have grown in popularity in recent years, and can be utilized to maintain gardens during the summer months. Involving and getting the support of local gardeners and businesses to assist with the school garden in the summer may grow some essential community support for both the garden and the school during the regular school year.
There are so many advantages to a school garden – don't let the common myths keep you from adding these excellent and tasty educational tools!

T.J. Grant missed his first title shot opportunity last month due to a lingering concussion injury he sustained during training. His absence allowed Anthony Pettis to step in, defeating former champ Benson Henderson in dominant fashion, and becoming the new lightweight titleholder.
Luckily for Grant though, UFC president Dana White isn't counting him out, and acknowledges that an opportunity to challenge the current champion will be available once Grant recovers.
"The kid's just got to take his time, heal up, and relax and we'll see what happens," White said at a recent media scrum. "The belt's going to be there no matter who has the belt. It will be there and we'll figure the T.J. Grant thing out when T.J. Grant gets healthy."
"It's one of those unfortunate things that can happen in a contact sport. We're not going anywhere," White added.
Who Grant will be facing is the real question, as Pettis will defend his newly claimed title for the first time against Josh Thomson at December's UFC on FOX 9.

Gunmen kidnap journalist in eastern Mexico
A journalist was kidnapped by gunmen Wednesday in Allende, a town in the eastern Mexican state of Veracruz, a representative of the Notisur newspaper told Efe.
Gregorio Jimenez de la Cruz, a police reporter for the Notisur and Liberal del Sur newspapers, was abducted around 7:15 a.m. outside his residence in Allende, a town near the city of Coatzacoalcos, Notisur representative Sayda Chiñas Cordova said.
Jimenez de la Cruz was kidnapped as he returned home after taking his children to school, Chiñas Cordova said.
State police, the army and the marine corps have been notified of the kidnapping and the journalist's family is safe, Chiñas Cordova said.
Jimenez de la Cruz had reported in the past few days on a wave of kidnappings in Allende, which is separated from Coatzacoalcos by a river, the newspaper executive said.
The Zetas drug cartel, considered Mexico's most violent criminal organization, and other gangs operate in the oil-producing region.
Nine journalists have been murdered, at least three have gone missing and about a dozen others have left Veracruz since 2011 due to the drug-related violence in the state.
Mexico, where more than 84 journalists have been murdered since 2000, according to the National Human Rights Commission, or CNDH, is the most dangerous country in Latin America for members of the media. EFE

Deutsches Historisches Institut Paris; LabEx EHNE; DAAD
09.04.2015-10.04.2015, Paris, DHIP, 8 rue du Parc-Royal, 75003 Paris
Deadline: 07.12.2014
International Conference of the German Historical Institute Paris in
cooperation with the Research Center of Excellence � �crire une histoire
nouvelle de l'Europe � (EHNE) and the German Academic Exchange Service
Place and date: German Historical Institute Paris, April 9-10, 2015
Organizer: Bettina Severin-Barboutie
Military conflicts have always been a major reason for the movement of
troops as well as of civilians making mobility an experience widely
shared. The current arrival of refugees from the war zones of Iraq and
Syria is the latest example of this phenomenon. However, the reasons,
types, and effects of population movements linked to wars have differed
over time just as different forms of mobility have overlapped or
followed each other in the same space or even along one single life.
Historical research on war and population movements in Europe has
predominantly focused on different types of forced migration in the 20th
century with a particular interest in expellees and refugees during and
after World War I and World War II. Embedded in a cooperation between
the German Historical Institute Paris and the research strand 5 �Europe
of wars and marks of war� of the Research Center of Excellence EHNE, the
conference seeks to shift towards a more systematic exploration of the
role population movements played in military conflicts by investigating
convergences and divergences in a long-term perspective, that is in the
19th and in the 20th century. The following questions will be at the
core of this investigation (but are not limited to it) and can be
approached from a social, cultural, economic or political angle, through
men, women and/or children, in a victim/offender perspective, etc.
First, population displacement as a legitimization to wage war or war as
a legitimization for displacements such as the expulsion of former
immigrants for security reasons (immigrants from member states of the
German confederation states in France in 1870/71 for instance).
Second, displaced individuals and populations as weapons of war (above
all the troops and all those accompanying them over time, but also
deportees, settlers, forced laborers, etc.), as weapons against war
(deserters, refugees, etc.) or as both as this could be the case for war
Third, population movements as instruments to bring hostilities to an
end or to make peace, for example the transfer of populations, the right
of choice (for Alsatians after 1871), the repatriation, etc.
Fourth, moments of sedentariness, settlement or temporary territorial
assignment correlating with the movement or displacement of individuals
and populations in times of wars (the protection of minorities or the
detainment in camps for instance).
Please send your abstract (max. 500 words) as well as a short biography
(max. 1 page) to email@example.com before December 7,
2014. Young scholars are particularly invited to submit a proposal.
Expenses for travelling and accommodation of the participants will be
covered. Conference languages will be English, French and German.

Ever since a kid, I have had an aversion to zucchini squash; maybe because it was always steamed. A vegetable that is virtually all water to begin with just seems to dissolve into a lack luster and soggy pool on the plate. As my culinary career advanced so has my repertoire with all things squash. Guests are generally surprised at the varieties available throughout the year and especially here in Oregon in the fall and winter. I remember one of our first catering requests came from a group of doctors who wanted a Vegan experience, that is, no animal products what so ever. Thanks to the local farms combined with fall harvest, we were able to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner for several days without repeating a single vegetable preparation.
Squash comes in a variety of shapes and sizes weighing in just under a pound to up to fifteen pounds and more. Flesh tones range from green, golden–yellow to bright orange. Color in squash does not dictate flavor or sugar content. Winter squash take approximately three months longer to mature than the summer varieties and best harvested when the weather turns colder. Labeling squash by season is somewhat misleading today. Originally named because they store well in cool cellars, the winter varieties are actually available all year. Still our palates have grown accustomed to heavy thick skinned varieties showing up on our plates when the weather turns cold.
Special care should be taken when prepping the winter thick skin varieties since it is difficult to get a steady grip on the squash with your knife. Peeling these thick skin spheres also proves difficult, which is probably why so many are cooked in their skins till soft enough to scoop out the pulp. Many winter varieties of squash store up to 6 months in a well ventilated dry place at about 50°-55°F, and will keep best if their stems are in tack.
My favorite thing about Winter squash is that they lend themselves to every method of cooking: boiling, sautéing, steaming or baking (roasting), while the pulp makes fabulous quick breads, soufflés, custards and pies. No wonder there are so many ways to create variety in menus with squash!
No discussion of squash would be complete especially in October without mention of pumpkins, truly a North American native. The exact relationship to squash I am not sure—I leave that to the farmers, but I am told they one in the same. To me cooking the jack-o-lantern variety doesn't really deliver results for the amount energy it takes. Except for roasting the seeds, I don't cook those pumpkins. My produce guy brings me the sweet meat pumpkins that are great for soups and pies, and worth the effort.
Here now are a few of my favorite ways to prepare squash. Soup comes to the top of the list because of the time of year. I am also including my Zucchini mash, which is how I learned to like those watery wonders.
Here's how I learned to love zucchini squash. Make them into a mash like potatoes with cream, and then season them well with fresh herbs. Now you're talking. Note that the summer squash here will make their own liquid but must be watched so they don't go dry and scorch.
As needed EVOO
16 oz. Zucchini or yellow (or combination) squash, small dice
8 oz other winter squash, small diced
4 oz. onions, diced
1 TBS fresh fine herbs minced
2 TBS reduced cream*
To Taste sea salt
Method: Place all the cut vegetables and onions in medium sauce pot with a little EVOO . Allow vegetables to steam in the pan without adding water. Cook on medium heat for until tender, about 6-8 min. Roughly mash with potato masher. Add fresh herbs, cream and sea salt to taste. Serve immediately.
*To reduce cream: Start with twice what you want; place into pan over medium high heat. Bring to soft boil and continue a soft boil until evaporates to half the amount. Don't leave the pot!
½ – 1 cup chervil, tarragon, chives, It. parsley
Method: Wash and pat very dry equal portions of herbs by volume; mince each and combine into a small bowl. Cover with paper towel and then plastic and refrigerate. It will keep a only a couple days after chopping so make only what you will use up in 2 days. The whole herbs keep longer in as whole herbs.
A great menu idea is to use the Curried version here served with Apple cheese turnovers and cilantro yogurt to round out the flavors.
2 #butternut squash, peeled, seeded, 1†pieces
to coat EVOO
2 carrots, 1†sliced
1 large onion, large dice
1 TBS thyme
1 qt chicken broth or water
4 teaspoon salt
¼ tsp ground pepper
Optional garnishes:
walnut oil
bleu cheese
toasted walnuts
Method: Preheat oven to 400ºF; place squash, carrots and onion in different roasting pans; drizzle each with olive oil, season with salt & pepper; roast about 45 to 60 minutes or until vegetables are tender and are beginning to caramelize; place vegetables in stockpot; add stock or water, thyme and salt & pepper; simmer until vegetables soften more; strain then purée the solids or pass them through a food mill; save the remaining liquid if desired to adjust consistency later; return purée to pot and adjust seasonings; garnish with walnut oil, bleu cheese and toasted nuts.
CURRY VARIATION: Add 2 TBS of good curry powder and 1 TBS of ground coriander while the onions are sautéing, then proceed as directed. Serve this version with Apple Turnovers and Cilantro Yogurt. (see recipes) Drizzle in some orange infused olive oil on the hot soup just before serving for optional pizzazz!
2 cups All Purpose flour
¼ tsp. sea salt
4 oz. shortening
4 oz. butter
½ cup iced water Filling:
1 TBS cinnamon
¾ cup sugar
5-7 Gravenstien or this seasons golden delicious apples, peeled & sliced
Pinch of sea salt and ½ tsp. ground coriander
Manchego (or white cheddar) cheese, about 1 cup crumbled/grated
1-2 TBS butter
Method: Pie crust: Combine flour and salt and sugar; mix to incorporate; add both fats and using a pastry blender, cut into flour; combine water, egg and vinegar into flour mixture and gently fold in to combine; place in plastic film and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour. Roll out dough and cut into 3 inch to 4 inch circles. Set aside on cookie sheet in refrigerator.
Filling: Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Combine cinnamon, sugar coriander and a pinch of sea salt; toss with the apples. On each circle of dough, place 1 TBS of filling and 1-2 tsp crumbled Manchego cheese. Dot with butter. Fold over making half circle, and crimp with fork. Bake 400°F for 15- 25 minutes.
1 cup yogurt, dried *
¼ red onion, minced
1 TBS cilantro, chopped
To taste: sea salt and freshly ground coriander Method: Hang yogurt in cheesecloth over bowl or in container large enough to drain; Refrigerate 24 hours before using. It will resemble cheese. Blend remaining ingredients. Season to taste with pinch of sea salt and freshly ground coriander. Serve a dollop on Winter Squash Soup.
This is a traditional recipe for gnocchi for fall. I prefer the yellow variegated or Italian sage that grows well here for this recipe because it is a heartier.
1# potatoes, russets
1# sweet pumpkin, cut into pieces
1 ¾ – 2 cups AP flour
1 egg
Sea salt
Butter, as needed (1/4 cup)
¼ cup sage, rough chopped Method: boil the potatoes in their skins to cook, remove, peel and place through a ricer. Steam pumpkin until tender; remove meat from skin and place in ricer. Combine with potato; work in flour, egg and salt; dough should not be sticky to the touch. Roll into long cylinders on floured surface; cut into desired size and mark with fork or gnocchi paddle; place in boiling salted water and cook until they rise to the surface of the water; drain well – reserve on a sheet pan.
Sauce: Heat butter over moderate flame. Just as the butter begins to brown, add the chopped sage. Strain out the pieces of sage and toss butter with cooked gnocchi; season with pumpkin oil if available, salt pepper and coriander.
