One of the most famous poems associated with the Civil War—and a poem whose words are almost certainly familiar to any American—is not usually thought of as a poem today. I found it an interesting exercise, actually, to stop and consider these familiar words as poetry, and perhaps you will too. In late 1861, a young woman named Julia Ward Howe watched a Union regiment march off to war, singing a marching song called "John Brown's Body". A friend suggested she could write new lyrics to the song's rhythm, and so she did, producing a work that was first published as a poem in the Atlantic Monthly, and swiftly passed into the national songbook as the words perhaps most immediately associated with the conflict. Here, in its full original six stanzas (at least two of which are rarely, if ever, sung), is Julia Ward Howe's "The Battle Hymn of the Republic":
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you My grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
Our God is marching on.
I'm hoping the poem strikes you as it struck me—a strange mixture of the very familiar and the very strange. Some of the strangeness surely arises from the sixth verse (with which I was not previously familiar), but I think it's also because I've sung this often enough (complete, of course, with the hymn's added "glory hallelujahs") that to consider the work as a poem takes my brain off a path well-worn. There's something compelling about Howe's vision—an apocalyptic (and yet hopeful) reverie in which God's omnipotent power for good flashes again and again in military metaphor. It must have been very stirring, especially to the element in the North that saw the war as a battle for righteousness—for the freeing of the slaves and the bringing to account of those who enslaved. It is, of course, oversimplifying the conflict by casting it in these melodramatic terms. But that doesn't diminish its rhetorical power for me, or its significance as a call to the fray.
I am struck by Howe's sacrificial language—although most hymnals today would print the line thus, "as he died to make men holy, let us live to make men free", Howe is much more direct. The soldiers are called to die for a cause as great as their God. There is a sense of forboding in the hymn that taps into America's perpetual fascination with millennial thinking—a judgment is at hand, God's eye is on all humanity, each man's dealings will be weighed and must not be found wanting. If I dwell on it, it does quickly become a bit troubling—there's something a bit too martial about the poem, and the fusing of the terrible violence of war with the belief in the cause's righteousness makes me wonder how easy it might have been for some soldiers to be blinded to their own misdeeds. A man in the army of freedom might not judge himself as harshly for acts of cruelty and injustice against whomever he thought the enemy to be. It's tough—on the one hand I believe, like Julia, that the North's victory really was a victory for truth and freedom. But on the other hand I know that the banner of "truth and freedom" makes too convenient a cover for human frailty.
One last thing about this poem—its relentless optimism really reaches me. I love the turns of phrase she spins off—"the trumpet that shall never call retreat" and "the glory of the morning on the wave", and maybe most importantly, the opening declaration that this glory is so at hand that it gleams in her eyes. Having done some research (and slowly working on an article I'll be submitting for publication) on the early abolitionist movement in the United States, I know that America's abolitionists had waited a century for the country to, at long last, break the shackles and step into the true meaning of the foundational statements made in the Declaration of Independence. I can only imagine how bright the mornings seemed to Julia Howe and her abolitionist friends, as the country leaned forward to take that step. There is much that is brutal about the Civil War, much that troubles and disturbs. But catching the sunny optimism of the abolitionists in this poem is a good reminder of the great truth that was forged in the war's crucible. The freedom won in that conflict was, of course, only the first of many steps for American equality. We have come a long way since 1865, and have a bit farther to go yet. But the destination seems a bit closer (and the road a bit easier to walk) when I let myself get swept up in Howe's conviction about the forward march of freedom. Whatever I think of the artistry of the poem, its conviction is powerful.

I looked at the ingredients that I originally used and decided to re-work the recipe, after all this was way to good of a possibility to pass up. I mean seriously, have you ever heard of anything sounding better? The final recipe was worth passing on to friends, since unlike the last batch... these puppies only lasted hours and everyone was very happy with them!
So Here is my re-worked recipe that I do have to say... I pretty tasty.
Nutella Rice Krispies Treats
- 4 Tbl. of Butter
- 3 Tbl. of Nutella
- 40 large marshmallows
- 3-4 cups of Rice Krispies (use 3 add more if moist)
- Melt butter on medium heat
- Add Nutella and mix completely. Make sure to continue to stir as the Nutella will want to stick to pan
- Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted, turn down heat if needed
- add rice krispies and mix thouroughly
- press mixture into greased 8x8 pan
And for fun, I made a cute recipe card for you to print up. It is a 4x6 card. If you would like it, just click on the picture of the recipe card and right click and save :)
Tips for those using this recipe (probably no brainers, but stuff I had to learn the hard way):
- Use fresh marshmallows (not some that you had left over from a bonfire... like I did)
- Use regular rice krispies (not chocolate because it is what you had on hand... like I did)
- Use room temperature Nutella (not stuff that was out of the refridgerator and COLD... like I did)
- Add rice Krispies as you desire (not the full 4 cups as the original recipe said, again... like I did)

Apparently I am not the only one who writes while traveling. On her way home from Ecumenical Advocacy Days, my friend Joann Lee wrote a powerful prayer that addresses her personal situation and expresses universal realities at the same time. Here are some excerpts:
Dear God,
There are so many moments when I am grateful that I am not pregnant and without children:
- Every time I gorge myself on sushi and beer or enjoy a glass of scotch in the evening, I give you thanks;
But God, despite all these blessings, I still really, really want to be pregnant, have a baby, and raise children.
Sometimes, I feel like those formerly barren matriarchs of the Bible:
- like Hannah who prayed fervently in the temple, asking, as if drunk, for a child, seeking refuge in her faith and bargaining her child's future profession in exchange for answered prayers – like Hannah, I say, "Me, too, God. I'll force my child into ministry, too, if that's what it takes!" [note: Joann is an ordained teaching elder in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)]
Because I just want so much to…
- to see two lines on that plastic pregnancy test, and since we've already experienced that, to then also hear a heartbeat on the ultrasound and witness a healthy baby being born;
I want all these things, God. But in the mean time, I'll continue to eat sushi, drink scotch, travel, and be grateful. Because this, too, is a blessing.
Check out Joann's whole prayer.
I stand in awe of her grace and courage, faith and hope. I hold her and Mike in my prayers in this season of waiting. I pray for all who yearn for a child. I pray that all children experience love. May it be so.
See you along the Trail.

THE RAIN (Self titled debut) ©2005
The Rain's self titled debut album was released in 2005. Australian blues legend, Kevin Borich comments... "Verdict by me… FANTASTIC! Why you ask? Well, after hearing it once, I was very impressed, then I was totally convinced on the second listen, because I felt that the songs were like old friends of mine that had come to visit. I get a lot of music to review, a lot of it is mediocre, but this band is different as they are producing really good radio friendly music."
The long awaited second album from The Rain 'One More Shot' is filled with a selection of 13 tracks. From the 'Eaglesesque' opening track 'Cold Comfort', through the refreshingly classic feel of songs like "Please Don't Forget About Me'(a tribute to the late Ray Charles), to the haunting closing track 'Tell it Like it Is', these songs display the quality song crafting talents that this trio has become renowned for.

Having spent my formative years in the town of Nelson Algren, Ernie Banks, Mike Royko and Hiz Honuh Richard Daley, I still wonder why Chicago has not produced a crime story writer that does the city justice.The burg celebrated by James T Farrell and Carl Sandberg is not lacking in all the necessary ingredients for interesting mayhem— geography, organized crime of various nationalities,powerful street gangs, political corruption, ethnic strife, wonderful eccentricities and a whole host of perpetual losers (dem Cubbies being one example)
Actually, I there was one writer who nailed both Chicago and an authentic noir atmosphere— the late, lamented Eugene Izzialso writing under the name Nick Gaitano whose mysterious death should have spawned its own narrative.
Akashic Books has published Chicago Noir edited by Neal Pollack as part of their urban noir series There are a number of notable authors in this anthology —Peter Orner,Jeffery Renard Allen, Achy Obejas,Kevin Guilfoile, Joe Meno—but while there are some skillful readable stories, none of them feels right.This is, of course, a totally subjective call but so what.This collection does a clever turn by linking each story to a specific Chicago street corner but I wonder what this could mean to a non Chicagoan.
Also. Michael Harvey has written three competent crime novels and there is a woman detective series whose author's name I can't' recall(for good reason) who locate their stories in Chicago but…need I finish this thought?
Now Chicago born Charlie Newton (Calumet City) has put his birthright and all his claimed influences (Raymond Chandler, PJ O'Rourke, Hunter Thompson and Pete Dexter) together and come up with a highly charged libretto for a gloriously Chicago grand opera. Though well traveled (recently Afrika, Jamaica, Cuba, East Berlin, Scotland) Newton's Chicago DNA is obvious as he tells it:
I'm a big fan of the blues and thoroughbred racing. Spent the Gerber years in Chicago watching the stars of Chess Records play Maxwell Street and my horses finish poorly at Arlington and Sportsman's. Those places were filled with noir and teenage danger, but more importantly they were inclusive when the rest of the world seemed otherwise.
Start Shooting (Doubleday)has two brothers (of Mexican heritage)who are Chicago cops from the mean streets of Four Corners dealing with a 30 year old crime and current gang violence and biological warfare weapons left over from WW II Pacific theater (an improbability that Newton, to his credit, makes work) Marilyn Stasio limply opines, "The plot is a hot mess, with Newton fielding multiple story lines, dual time frames and too many conspiracies. But the voices reverberate in your ears, and the smell of gunfire lingers long after the last man is down." But you get the idea
Here's 2 minute clip of Charlie Newton talking about libraries that speaks volumes about him

Done well, an addition can increase a home's value as well as its size. No matter how big or small, an addition is a complex job and requires thoughtful planning and clear communication with the contractor.
Size. The construction budget is usually the primary factor in deciding the size of an addition, though there are other issues to consider. For example, homeowners should be aware of the impact of future heating and cooling costs for the additional square footage.
Purpose. Size is not the only important consideration homeowners must consider when building an addition. Whether it's a mudroom or sunroom, knowing what the room will be used for will determine its design and construction. If children need a place to play, a room with built-in storage and enough windows for natural light may be a good solution. If the addition's function is as an extra bath or enlarged kitchen, make sure the home's existing plumbing can be routed to the new area without damaging or compromising the surrounding structure.
Seamless construction. It's advisable to match the old structure and new addition as much as possible. An addition that's built with distinctly different materials or architectural style may be noticeable and may ultimately harm the home's resell value.
Plan for versatility. What may be a good plan for a sewing room may not work well for a home office or a guest room. Keep in mind how the needs of a newly remodeled space may change.

"The Government itself declined to comment directly on the intensification issue but said that an over-supply of milk on the world market was partly to blame for the sharp fall in milk prices and therefore increasing production was 'not the answer'.

Gifts for the graduating gator
Congratulate this year's graduate by treating them to a gift with a gator connection. Choose from the following ideas, brought to you by talented SF State alumni and faculty.
Oscar-nominated movies
Treat movie-lovers to a nail-biting thriller with "Argo," now available on DVD. Ethan Van der Ryn (B.A., '85) received an Academy Award nomination for Best Sound Editing for this drama about a little-known chapter of the Iranian hostage crisis. Also out on DVD is "Life of Pi," Ang Lee's 3-D adaptation of a popular novel about a boy stranded at sea on a small lifeboat. For his work on the movie, David Gropman (B.A., '74) received an Oscar nomination for Best Production Design.
From formalwear to street fashion
Pick up a gift that will help graduates step out in style. Alum Zel Anders' (attended '82–'87) newly opened clothing shop, Tomboy Tailors, specializes in suits for women who want to don tailored menswear. Anders' shop offers made-to-measure suits inspired by the tailoring of men's suits, and also sells pocket squares, hats, suspenders and shoes. FAZE Apparel is another new addition to the San Francisco fashion scene. Alum Johnny Travis (B.S., '07) opened this Mission District store and art gallery, which sells boldly decorated T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, baseball caps and beanies.
Poetry and books
" This gripping account of the first African American Major League Baseball player was written by late History Professor Jules Tygiel.
For poetry fans, choose "Postmodern American Poetry." First published 19 years ago and recently revamped by Professor of Creative Writing Paul Hoover, this anthology of more than 500 poems includes explanatory notes that make postmodern poetry accessible to those who are new to the genre.
With a mix of wit and sorrow, "Birds of Paradise Lost" tells the stories of immigrants who fled Vietnam and remade themselves in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their dreams and struggles unfold in this book of thirteen short stories from award-winning author and journalist Andrew Lam (attended '89-'91).
In "Married at Fourteen: A True Story," alumna Lucille Lang Day (M.A., '99; M.F.A., '04) chronicles her transformation from teenage rebel to the holder of four advanced degrees. Her memoir serves as a reminder that it is never too late to chart a new course. Deciding on one's path in life is also a theme in "A River Closely Watched," a dark tale about a boy born into a dysfunctional family in rural New England and his struggle to save his own soul. This debut novel from alum Jon Boilard (B.A., '90; M.F.A., '95) has been nominated for a Northern California Book Award.
Graduates who are considering life's big questions will enjoy "An Unknown World: Notes on the Meaning of the Earth." In his latest book, Professor of Philosophy Jacob Needleman recounts how a childhood friendship with a boy suffering from terminal leukemia led him to contemplate the meaning of life, death and the universe.
Gator tunes
For blues rock fans, pick up a copy of "Small Fires," the new album by The Stone Foxes, whose members all graduated from SF State. NPR describes the band as having "an energetic style that's rooted in swampy, foot-stomping blues rock." Alumni talent can also be heard in "Radio Tragedy," the latest album from Tea Leaf Green. This rock quartet formed at SF State and their seventh studio recording features psychedelic, improv and pop rock.
Alumni Association
Give graduates an Alumni Association membership and they will enjoy lifelong benefits including Library and Career Center access, discounted medical benefits and opportunities to reconnect with fellow gators.
For other gator gift ideas, visit previous listings at: Gator Gifts 2012 and Gator Gifts 2011.

Math Tutoring on Graphing Linear Equations Using a Table of Values
To graph or plot points we use two perpendicular number lines called Axes. The Horizontal number line is called the x-axis, and we have the positive x values on the right and the negative x values on the left. The Vertical number line is called the y-axis, and the positive y values above the x-axis and the negative y values are below the x-axis. The point at which the axes cross is called the Origin, and every point on the coordinate plane is identified by what's called an Ordered Pair.
Following are the steps outlined here for graphing linear equations by plotting points.
Step one: we choose two or more values for the input variable, normally x, and list them in a table of values.
We only need two points to graph a line, but the third point will serve as a check, so we'll always select three values for the input variable x. In general, it's always good to select zero, as well as a negative value, and a positive value.
Step two: we substitute each input value, or x value, into the equation, and compute the corresponding output values, or corresponding y values. Then, we list these values in the table.
Step three: write each input-output pair on the table as an ordered pair, the input-output pair is the x, y pair.
Step four: we plot the ordered pairs, connect them, and then extend the line beyond the points to show that the pattern continues.

Fascinating article. I'd be interested in your thoughts and reaction:
- Do you believe you've followed the rules?
- Do you feel duped, exploited, victimized by government and big business?
- Do you see any way to change America for the better other than rebellion beginning with mass civil disobedience?
By Gonzalo Lira – October 7, 2010
True story: A retired couple I know, Brian and Ilsa, own a home in the Southwest. It's a pretty house, right on the manicured golf course of their gated community (they're crazy about golf). The only problem is, they bought the house near the top of the market in 2005, and now find themselves underwater.
They've never missed a mortgage payment—Brian and Ilsa are the kind upright, not to say uptight 60-ish white semi-upper-middle-class couple who follow every rule, fill out every form, comply with every norm. In short, they are the backbone of America.
Even after the Global Financial Crisis had seriously hurt their retirement nest egg—and therefore their monthly income—and even fully aware that they would probably not live to see their house regain the value it has lost since they bought it, they kept up the mortgage payments. The idea of them strategically defaulting is as absurd as them sprouting wings.
When HAMP—the Home Affordable Modification Program—was unveiled, they applied, because they qualified: Every single one of the conditions applied to them, so there was no question that they would be approved—at least in theory.
Applying for HAMP was quite a struggle: Go here, go there, talk to this person, that person, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. "It's like they didn't want us to qualify," Ilsa told me, as she recounted their mind-numbing travails.
It was a months-long struggle—but finally, they were approved for HAMP: Their mortgage period was extended, and the interest rate was lowered. Even though their home was still underwater, and even though they still owed the same principal to their bank, Brian and Ilsa were very happy: Their mortgage payments had gone down by 40%. This was equivalent to about 15% of their retirement income. So of course they were happy.
However, three months later, out of the blue, they got a letter from their bank, Wells Fargo: It said that, after further review, Brian and Ilsa had in fact not qualified for HAMP. Therefore, their mortgage would go back to the old rate. Not only that, they now owed the difference for the three months when they had paid the lowered mortgage—and to add insult to injury, they were assessed a "penalty for non-payment".
Brian and Ilsa were furious—a fury which soon turned to dour depression: They tried contacting Wells Fargo, to straighten this out. Of course, they were given the run-around once again.
They kept insisting that they qualified—they qualified! But of course, that didn't help at all—like a football, they were punted around the inner working of the Mortgage Mess, with no answers and no accountability.
Finally, exhausted, Brian and Ilsa sat down, looked at the last letter—which had no signature, and no contact name or number—and wondered what to do.
On television, the news was talking about "robo-signatures" and "foreclosure mills", and rank illegalities—illegalities which it seemed everyone was getting away with. To top it off, foreclosures have been suspended by the largest of the banks for 90 days—which to Brian and Ilsa meant that people who weren't paying their mortgages got to live rent free for another quarter, while they were being squeezed out of a stimulus program that had been designed—tailor made—precisely for them.
Brian and Ilsa are salt-of-the-earth people: They put four kids through college, they always paid their taxes. The last time Brian broke the law was in 1998: An illegal U-turn on a suburban street.
"We've done everything right, we've always paid on time, and this program is supposed to help us," said Brian. "We follow the rules—but people who bought homes they couldn't afford get to squat in those McMansions rent free. It would have been smarter if we'd been crooks."
Now, up to this point, this is just another sob story of the Mortgage Mess—and as sob stories go, up to this point, it's no big deal.
But here's where the story gets ominous—here's where the Jaws soundtrack kicks in:
Brian and Ilsa—the nice upper-middle-class retired couple, who always follow the rules, and never ever break the law—who don't even cheat on their golf scores—even when they're playing alone ("Because if you cheat at golf, you're only cheating yourself")—have decided to give their bank the middle finger.
They have essentially said, Fuckit.
They haven't defaulted—not yet. They're paying the lower mortgage rate. That they're making payments is because of Brian: He is insisting that they pay something—Ilsa is of the opinion that they should forget about paying the mortgage at all.
"We follow the rules, and look where that's gotten us?" she says, furious and depressed. "Nowhere. They run us around, like lab rats in a cage. This HAMP business was supposed to help us. I bet the bank went along with the program for three months, so that they could tell the government that they had complied—and when the government got off their backs, they turned around and raised the mortgage back up again!"
"And charged us a penalty," Brian chimes in. The non-payment penalty was only $84—but it might as well been $84 million, for all the outrage they feel. "A penalty for non-payment!"
Nevertheless, Brian is insisting that they continue paying the mortgage—albeit the lower monthly payment—because he's still under the atavistic sway of his law-abiding-ness. But Ilsa is quietly, constantly insisting that they stop paying the mortgage altogether: "Everybody else is doing it—so why shouldn't we?"
A terrible sentence, when a law-abiding citizen speaks it: Everybody else is doing it—so why don't we?
I'm like Wayne Gretsky: I don't concern myself with where the puck has been—I look for where the puck is going to be.
Right now, people are having a little hissy-fit over the robo-signing scandal, and the double-booking scandal (where the same mortgage was signed over to two different bonds), and the little fights between junior tranches and senior tranches and the servicer, in the MBS mess.
But none of that shit is important.
What's really important is Brian and Ilsa: What's really important is that law-abiding middle-class citizens are deciding that playing by the rules is nothing but a sucker's game.
Just like the poker player who's been fleeced by all the other players, and gets one mean attitude once he finally wakes up to the con? I'm betting that more and more of the solid American middle-class will begin saying what Brian and Ilsa said: Fuckit.
Fuck the rules. Fuck playing the game the banksters want you to play. Fuck being the good citizen. Fuck filling out every form, fuck paying every tax. Fuck the government, fuck the banks who own them. Fuck the free-loaders, living rent-free while we pay. Fuck the legal process, a game which only works if you've got the money to pay for the parasite lawyers. Fuck being a chump. Fuck being a stooge. Fuck trying to do the right thing—what good does that get you? What good is coming your way?
When the backbone of a country starts thinking that laws and rules are not worth following, it's just a hop, skip and a jump to anarchy.
TV has given us the illusion that anarchy is people rioting in the streets, smashing car windows and looting every store in sight. But there's also the polite, quiet, far deadlier anarchy of the core citizenry—the upright citizenry—throwing in the towel and deciding it's just not worth it anymore.
If a big enough proportion of the populace—not even a majority, just a largish chunk—decides that it's just not worth following the rules anymore, then that society's days are numbered: Not even a police-state with an armed Marine at every corner with Shoot-to-Kill orders can stop such middle-class anarchy.
Brian and Ilsa are such anarchists—grey-haired, well-dressed, golf-loving, well-to-do, exceedingly polite anarchists: But anarchists nevertheless. They are not important, or powerful, or influential: They are average—that's why they're so deadly: Their numbers are millions. And they are slowly, painfully coming to the conclusion that it's just not worth it anymore.
Once enough of these J. Crew Anarchists decide they no longer give a fuck, it's over for America—because they are America.

OnCore Golf
OnCore Golf - Official Swiss PGA Ball Supplier
The US-based cutting edge ball technology company OnCore Golf is partnering up with Swiss PGA to become its Official Ball Supplier.
OnCore's mission is to grow the game of golf making it more fun for golfers of all skill levels by offering the most innovative high performance golf balls on the market.
Founded by two young entrepreneurs—Bret Blakely & Steve Coulton, from Buffalo, New York—and now fuelled by a team of world-class innovators, OnCore Golf entered the golf ball industry through development of the first-ever USGA-conforming hollow core ball.
The company has since developed a growing suite of differentiating products distributed worldwide that includes the perimeter weighted Golf Digest Award winning tour ball, the ELIXRTM, the five star-rated AVANT with SoftCell technology to increase feel, durability and distance, as well as the extremely accurate, hollow metal core CALIBER golf ball.
OnCore GENiUS - Introducing the "Ball with a Brain"
OnCore is taking innovation to the next level with the introduction of the GENiUS Ball. Leveraging its patented, innovative hollow core technologies, OnCore will soon be introducing a golf ball with embedded electronics and advanced measurement technologies to capture a wide array of golf ball performance data and share it with a mobile device in real-time, while saving it to a personalized cloud portal for further study and training at home.
After each stroke, the GENiUS Ball will transmit data to your mobile device showing your location on the course, ball velocity, spin rate and spin axis, carry distance and roll, and even the distance from the green.
Players will see the information using a variety of formats and have the ability to share it to your social media accounts as well.

This post is slightly belated but this recipe will be great if you are having a bonfire night party this coming weekend or you can make it at anytime of year without the spooky bit! Pumpkins are the main source of everyone's enthusiasm at this time of year and although they look great as lanterns, they are quite fiddly to prepare and there are only so many '50 ways to use up leftover pumpkin' posts that I can read.
Therefore, I would like to draw your attention to the humble carrot. In the UK, We produce 700,000 tons of carrots per year (source here) and I wonder how many of those get thrown in the bin? I used to buy a bag of carrots from the supermarket then use 3/4 out of the bag and throw the rest away. I am sure I am not the only one who has done this. Anyway, I have the solution to this problem, my simple carrot soup recipe. The recipe is below and my simple carrot soup recipe has been made even easier by being sent a VonShef Premium Digital Soup & Smoothie Maker
Until I had one, I always thought that soup makers were a gadget too far. I mean how hard is it to make soup really? However, in the two weeks that I have had the soup maker, my views have been transformed. A soup maker is basically a blender that cooks. You add in all the ingredients, add the stock, turn on and 40 minutes later you have hot puréed soup ready to go. I have been using it to make soup for me to take to work and heat up in my Crockpot Food Warmer. It is a great way of using leftover vegetables and saves money too.
The only downside I have found to soup maker is that when I fried onions and garlic in it before adding the other vegetables and stock (which it says it can do in the instructions), it fried them very fast and burnt them, leaving a nasty taste in the soup and tiny black specks in the soup. However I discovered the soup maker has enough power to cook everything, just by putting all the ingredients and the stock in and leaving it to cook. The soup maker blends as it cooks so you do not even have to touch it when it is has finished unless you want to purée it more. The soup maker can cook eggs and rice too (although I have not tried these functions yet).
Tell me, what gadget did you think you could live without in the kitchen but then once you had it, you discovered it was the most useful appliance ever? I would love to know!
Spooky Carrot Soup
Ingredients (make 2 large or 3/4 smaller portions)
For the soup
- 1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 4 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 8-12 carrots (depending on size), peeled and finely chopped
- 600ml vegetable stock
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the spooky bit
- 2 Babybel cheeses per soup bowl, packaging and red outer bit removed
- 1 black edible ink pen
- (In a soup maker) Add all the soup ingredients into the soup maker. Turn on to low heat mode and allow to cook for allotted time. Serve with the eyes, as described below
- (Without a soup maker) In 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, fry the onions and celery until softened then add carrots, vegetable stock and cook until the carrots are cooked through and soft. Season to taste then using a hand blender, blend until it reaches desired consistency.
- (For the spooky eyes) Draw a black eye in the middle of each Babybel cheese. The pen might stab into the cheese a bit so the do the best you can. Float cheeses on top of soup, eat and enjoy! Boo!!
Disclosure: I was sent a VonShef Premium Digital Soup & Smoothie Maker for the purposes of this review. All opinions are my own. I was not required to write a positive review

1864 $2 Confederate Note
Grade:Circulated (SKU: T70.80)
Highlight your collection with this scarce last-year $2 Confederate Note issued in 1864, featuring the talented Judah Benjamin on the face. Although he was a Yale dropout, Benjamin became a successful lawyer, sugar plantation owner and in 1852, the first Jewish U.S. senator.
During the Civil War, he served the Confederacy as attorney general, then secretary of war and finally as secretary of state, always remaining in the background. As secretary of war, after a Confederate loss, he accepted a congressional censure rather than reveal the South didn't have any available reinforcements to send. When the Civil War ended, he spent his last few days, before escaping to England, burning personal correspondence and government documents.
Printed on pink paper, with a reddish-brown overlay, these hand-signed and numbered uniface $2 Confederate Notes are a scarcer type in all grades, but especially so in Crisp Unused condition. Now over 150 years later, they're found only in museums and collections. Limited number available so order yours while our supplies last!
- Product Type: Single Products
- Year: 1864

Take out your aggression on the treadmill, not in the courtroom.
Going through a divorce is no time to be thinking with your heart. Yep, your heart is bruised and battered and you feel disillusioned by everything that's unfolded. Perhaps you feel like you were run over by a truck. Still, you have to think with your head.
When you make decisions based on emotion, you dig yourself in deeper. Believe it or not, what you want to do is evolve through your divorce, not sink into emotional oblivion. It's also not the time to question why you married him or her in the first place; those are emotional thoughts ... and redundant ones at that. It doesn't matter why you got married. What matters is what's going to happen now that the marriage is dissolving. You should focus on moving forward with your life.
Now and then, give yourself permission to swear, scream, yell and vent. Get a journal, write it down. Get it out and parked. Venting to a lawyer will only cost you money. Take A Deep Breath: 3 Ways To Help You Stop Worrying
When I was going through my divorce, I got a particularly aggravating email late one evening. (And no, I won't answer why I was checking my email late in the evening.) I got so tense, so angry, I knew I had to work off some steam so instead of putting my fist through the wall. I started running up and down the stairs to burn steam. My son asked curiously, "Mom ... what are you doing?" to which I replied "I'm running up and down the stairs to work off my aggravation." He laughed and said "Have I ever told you you're weird?" "Nope," I replied. The laughter we shared was the best medicine of all. And because I had such special people in my life, it was a hell I didn't have to focus on all the time. I could appreciate the rest of my life, too.
Acknowledge your emotions and deal with them, yes, but don't let them take over. Park them in exercise, a great support system or laughter, but park them in a good zone.
The person sitting across the table or courtroom from you isn't going to be thinking about or speaking to the best in you. That person and his/her attorney will be banking on the worst. Surprise them by parking your emotions and not allowing them to push your buttons. The angrier and more emotional you get, the deeper you'll sink. My motto is "I will not give my personal power away to someone I least respect at that moment in time." When you react emotionally, that's exactly what you do. You lose control of your future and hand it over to the very person you're divorcing. Is that what you want?
So, now's the time. Park those emotions so you can move on with your life.

Control Variables
Pattern: Honeycowl, cast on 180 stitches
Yarn: Manos del Uruguay Maxima
Independent Variable
Needles: HiyaHiya sharps, size 5, 32 inch length
The HiyaHiyas are light weight. I like the short tips. And the swivel cord keeps anything from getting tangled. The points were sharp enough to easily grab each stitch, but not too sharp to split the singles or hurt my index finger as I pushed on it to move the piece along. My test set didn't come with needle grips to aid in tightening, but the tips never separated from the cords during knitting.
The cord itself was very flexible. It had a little bit of memory when it came out of the package, but after one project it's no longer noticeable. And, I think the swivel helps a lot. The swivel action isn't completely smooth, but I think it would wear in after some use.
The joins disappear. The work moved from cord to needle to the next needle effortlessly.
Next test will be on the Addi Click Lace Short Tips.

To find your foot measurement closely trace your entire foot onto a piece of paper and measure from heel to toe. If your measurement is between chart numbers, we recommend sizing up. Be sure you're putting your full weight on your foot while tracing. Please note: for the best results, measuring later in the day is recommended.
We created this easy-to-use sizing chart so that finding the right size shoes for your kids won't be a workout in itself. *Due to the metric/imperial conversions, there will be some instances where two US sizes will equal one UK size or one CM size.
You must be logged in to share by email.
These shoes have made me fall in love with running all over again. I thought that the app would just be a gimmick to draw people in but I have noticed an improvement in my running by following its advice. The shoe does run small I went up a full size. My wife laughs at me because I will not walk on dirt with them. Thanks you again for an amazing shoe and can not wait to wear them to the Warrior Games next month.
I'm in love with these shoes, they're my first pair of underarmour shoes and definitely won't be my last
These would have to be the most form fitting shoes I have brought I would prefer these to many of my high-end runners I have.
Great shoe, Awesome color!!!!! I generally wear a size 6 to 6.5 in men's. It may be the style, in this shoe I wear a men's size 8......

When Government Borrows Heavily, Firms Reduce Leverage
Higher levels of government borrowing are associated with lower leverage ratios in the corporate sector.
Most governments in developed countries responded to the financial crisis of 2008 by pursuing expansionary fiscal policies, raising budget deficits and issuing government debt. Some warned that growing supplies of government debt might have unintended consequences in the realm of corporate finance. In Government Debt and Corporate Leverage: International Evidence (NBER Working Paper No. 23310), Irem Demirci, Jennifer Huang, and Clemens Sialm find robust evidence of "crowding out," a tendency for higher levels of government debt to reduce the level of corporate borrowing.
When Government Borrows Heavily, Firms Reduce Leverage
The researchers explain that an increased supply of government debt could lead fixed-income investors to demand a higher rate of return on both government and corporate bonds. Although government and corporate debt are not perfect substitutes, with the latter typically being viewed as riskier than the former, there are likely to be linkages between the two markets. As the cost of issuing corporate debt rises, firms may respond by shifting their capital structure toward greater reliance on equity rather than debt.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) - How Solar PV Actually Works
Solar Photovoltaic / Photo (Light) + Voltaic (Electricity)
Simply Put, Getting Electric Power from the Sun's Light
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) cells change sunlight directly into electricity. Solar cells are often made from silicon-based materials that react to the suns light not it's warmth (as Solar Thermal panels do). Certain types of materials called semiconductors convert sunlight to electricity naturally. In a Solar PV cell the sun's photons strike a thin silicon layer which dislodges electrons in the thin semiconductor coating creating a flow of electrons which is electric current. A Solar module contains many solar cells connected together. Several solar modules (solar panels) form a solar array which directs output all of the solar electrical energy to your inverter.
The solar electric energy created is in the form of direct current (DC) power. This power is routed to an inverter that converts it to alternating current (AC) for use in your home or business. The power flow also will be tied into your electric meter and to the grid. This will allow you to move power you don't use to the grid (getting paid for it by the utility) and to tap into the utility when you need to supplement your own solar power generation. Grid tied inverters are designed to shut down transfer of electricity to the grid automatically during a power outage. This built-in feature is to protect any line workers that may be working during the outage. Battery based inverters can allow continued use of your solar power during the outage after disconnecting from the grid. They reactivate the output in a split second to continue supplying electricity to any loads wired into the critical load sub-panel.
Well over fifty years ago, scientists at Bell Laboratories unveiled the first modern solar cell, using a silicon semiconductor to convert light into electricity. Solar was envisioned by Bell as a way to power the phone calls of the future.
Today there are two main types of silicon based solar panels on the market that offer varying costs, efficiency and longevity of use. The most effective at converting sunlight to solar power are the Monocrystalline type which convert about 18 percent of sunlight to electricity. They have a lifespan of twenty five years or more and are the most costly of the solar cells. The next most efficient type is the Polycrystalline variety which converts only slightly less sunlight to energy at a rate of about 15 percent. These solar panels are less expensive and have a comparable lifespan. These are the most commonly used Solar PV modules and solar panels today.
There are also thin film Solar PV cells made Amorphous Silicon or from Cadmium Telluride based materials. These thin film cells can be produced at lower costs but also have lower efficiency and a shorter lifespan as well. These cells can be manufactured easier and are being used in many large scale solar installations. Cadmium is toxic so there are environmental considerations to be factored in as well.
Newer technologies are adding these thin film PV materials to rooftop shingles, tiles and other building materials. These solar materials work in very thin layers and can even be "printed on" substrates of many kinds for use in electric power generation.

Lane marking tapes can handle heavy foot traffic due to their anti-abrasion features. These tapes are particularly durable and can last for many years.
What are lane marking tapes used for?
Lane marking tapes are used to demarcate floor areas in manufacturing facilities or plant workshops. They can also assist in creating aisle areas or provide directions in retail or food production facilities. Lane marking tape is a key lean manufacturing implementation tool to assist factory workers and provide safety features in plants.
Types of lane marking tapes?
There is a wide variety of lane marking tapes with different features. A range of thicknesses, lengths and colours exist, and some tapes are equipped with glow in the dark or fluorescent features. Some tapes are UV resistant, and most tapes are waterproof. They can be suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Buena Vista has a very nice park along the Arkansas River, which we visited a couple times. There are hiking and biking trails, and an interesting spot to rest.
And all with fabulous views of the river.
The city has actually engineered the river with rocks to create waves and eddies for the kayakers and rafters to play on. Apparently it's very popular when the river is flowing harder in the spring and early summer.
We rode our bikes around town to the Turner Farm Apple Festival, where we got to taste freshly pressed apple juice. Unfortunately the apple pie was all gone by the time we got there. We did get a close up look at a couple alpacas and there was a vendor selling alpaca socks, which really felt soft compared to wool.
They have the cutest faces.
We saw this RV for sale but there was no price on the sign. Yes, that is duct tape holding the windshield together.
We rode our bikes down a scenic dirt road along the river where you go through four old Midland Railroad tunnels cut into the rock.
And we visited with our friend Fitz from Florida, who brought his newly finished home-built toy hauler trailer. It is quite impressive that he built it himself, and as you would imagine he said it draws lots of attention.
Looking in from the front door. It has a drop down floor, which has to be put back up for transport.
There is a small bed in the front.
And the back, the area where he hauls his motorcycles, transforms into a seating area and table, which makes into a bed. The toilet is in the closet on the right, but there is no shower.
But he's got all the other comforts of home, like his computer and TV. It's really quite clever.
Since we're enjoying this area so much and the weather has been great, we're going to stay here a few more days.

Super Junior held a press conference today, September 11, for the launch of their new travel book and entertained photographers and fans as they hugged each other in celebration of the title's release.
Members Shindong, Donghae, Kangin, Ryeowook, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk were present at the Rest Tree Cafe press conference in Seoul's Times Square Mall for the group's travel guide, Super Junior's Experience Korea. The boys donned slick black suits and gave each other celebratory embraces before taking their seats to answer questions.
During the conference, the band revealed how bandmate Heechul — who recently completed two years of mandatory Korean military service — didn't even know the group were releasing a book.

Eunhyuk, 27, explained: "We don't usually tell the other members our schedules." Added Ryeowook, 26, "I had to hide and lie about the book when I bumped Heechul — even on the way to the press conference!"
The band was also asked what they learned about each other whilst putting together the Korean travel book. "I'm a picky eater, so the staff took extra care of me when it came to food," Eunhyuk explained. "Shindong eats a lot. But through these trips I found that there's also a lot of food that he can't eat too."
Stay in the know about Super Junior by following IdolWow! on Twitter
"I eat seafood well, but not when it's raw," explained Shindong, 27. "I don't eat sashimi, but I eat fish katsu or grilled Spanish mackerel. I can't eat things like fish stew."
Super Junior's Experience Korea follows all ten members' travels around South Korea. Each member chose their destinations, heading to provinces such as Gangwon, Jeolla, Jeju island, Gyeonggi and, of course, Seoul.

I'm a writer who still believes in fairy tales. I see them every day around me, when a patient miraculously starts to walk again after an injury, when my guinea pig Oreo teaches me about unconditional love, when something beautiful happens that you can't explain.
"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." –Neil Gaiman paraphrasing G.K. Chesterton
When I was 19, I almost died from a car accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. Although doctors forecasted a <5% chance of survival, I beat the odds and returned to college ten months later, with the aid, love, and support of doctors, nurses, therapists, and–most of all–family and friends.
This blog is inspired from my belief that when bad things happen, good things can come next. It's not just about one door closing and another opening–it's about absorbing that experience and turning it into good. It's about my belief that things don't always land jelly-side down, even if some people will tell you that they do.
For me, that car accident was the beginning of the next chapter of my life. It gave me perspective and focus. My dream was always to be a writer and help people with my words. Now, I know just how to do that. In a truly literary turn of events, I am now working as a writer for Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital, where I received my outstanding inpatient and outpatient therapy. I get the chance to give back every day by helping other people tell their stories of success and inspiring people not to give up. I help to raise money through my writing and public speaking. I get to pour my heart and soul into a place I really believe in.
I've got a lot to be grateful for. I have a lot to say, too, about writing, life, and love. I hope you will join me on this journey, the book of my life, through my adventures and misadventures. There will be a lot of fun, some tears, and several missteps balanced with successes, I'm sure. I'll talk about my writing/publishing efforts, about that cute thing Oreo did, about my oddly and intensely (but wonderfully) close family, about brilliant or terrible books, about my love of love. I hope you'll come away with a few laughs or a few tears. But most of all, I hope you'll come away with the belief that when you fall, sometimes, you land jelly-side up.

NightBlades's Bio
Here is an excerpt from my upcoming book Nightblade. Enjoy!
In a dark corner of the tavern, the silhouetted figure of a man could be seen sitting alone at a table. Shrouded in darkness, he seemed more a shadow than a man, save for the glint of moonlight reflecting off his medallion through the window.
Though no larger than an average man, he gave off an aura of great power and strength. He was dressed in black and had the hood of his cloak pulled down low so only the stubble on his chin could be seen when he tipped his head for a drink. No one dared approach him except for the occasional waitress who was 'persuaded' by the owner to do her job and wait on the mysterious patron.
"A-a-anything else f-for you, s-s-sir?" stammered the trembling waitress, wishing sincerely that she had not come to work that night. The stranger terrified her, even though he hadn't spoken so much as a word to her all night. She felt that if he so much as looked her in the eyes that her heart would stop dead.
"No. That will be all, thank you," He replied as he tossed a gold coin on the table. His voice seemed to carry a faint Elven accent, but he was too tall to be an elf, even a Gold. The elvish melody of his voice instantly calmed her fears but in its place brought forth curiosity. She wondered who this stranger was and why he was here so far away from the Elven city of Moonstar. Finding that her fear had taken leave, for the time being at least, she was able to speak more clearly to the shrouded man.
"I'm afraid I don't have change for this."
"I didn't ask for any."
"Now see here! I'll have you know that I'm not one of those kinds of girls! You need to go up the street for that—"
"Use the rest to get yourself as far away from here as possible," the stranger said, ignoring her mistaken assumption that the generous tip was prepayment for services rendered in the bedroom of a harlot. "This city will be a war zone in a matter of days."
"My apologies, sir. I didn't mean to –"
"Just take it and go. Quickly. "You don't want to be here when the drow make their way into this city."
"The drow? Here? That's impossible. Who are you, anyway?" she insisted, losing all inhibition as she reached out and grabbed his hand on the table.
"Nobody. Just a ghost of a man and a shadow of a dream," He said as he gently took her hand off of his and traced a short but intricate pattern into the air before her eyes. As the waitress began to shake daze from her head, the man stood up and walked toward the door. Even as the doors swung shut behind him, the waitress was already beginning to wonder if she had truly been serving anyone, or if she had only imagined it.
"Ms. Beth," she called, as she walked over to the woman behind the bar that owned the tavern, "I think I need to go home early tonight. I'm not feeling so well all of a sudden."
"That shadowy man didn't do anything to you did he?" Beth asked, concerned that her best waitress may be suffering the ill effects of a rogue spell caster. She had seen the brief contact between the two and feared for what he may have done to her. She new little of magic, and as a rule didn't trust those who used it.
"Jennie, are you alright?"
"What?" The waitress asked, still fighting the effects of a sudden daze.
"I said 'are you alright?' I'm concerned that man did something to you back there before he left," she repeated, gesturing to the table he had been sitting at only moments before.
"Man? What man?" There hasn't been anyone at that table all night. Are you feeling alright, Ms. Beth?"
"I'm fine, Jennie. But I'm concerned for you. Why don't you take the rest of the night off and go enjoy yourself."
"Are you sure? I don't mind staying."
"I'm sure. It's slow tonight. I can shut the place down. Go on. Enjoy that tip you earned," she said, gesturing to the gold coin glinting in Jennie's hand.
"Um, okay," she said staring at the coin as though she hadn't seen it before this very moment.
The look on the girls face as she stared at the coin furthered Beth's concern for the girl, but she decided not to press the issue and waved goodbye as Jennie took off her apron and passed through the doors into the cool night air. She wondered briefly who the stranger was that had visited them tonight, but pushed the thoughts out of her head as she realized a few of the men at the bar were shouting for more drinks. As for the man in black, he had again disappeared into the shadows of the night, just as he had since the day he emerged from the Cave of Shadows nearly a year ago.

Core Analysis At Raft River Geothermal Area (1979)
From Open Energy Information
Exploration Activity: Core Analysis At Raft River Geothermal Area (1979)
|Exploration Activity Details
|Raft River Geothermal Area
|Exploration Technique
|Core Analysis
|Activity Date
|not indicated
Permitted the lateral and vertical extrapolation of core and test data and bridged the gap between surface geophysical data and core analyses.
1) Microcracks were observed in core samples. A set of observable characteristics of microcracks were discovered in racks from geothermal regions that appears to be unique and to have considerable potential for exploration for geothermal regions. Both permeability and electrical conductivity were measured for a suite of samples with a range of microcracks characteristics. A partial set of samples were collected to study migration of radioactive elements. 2) Laboratory analyses of cores from the intermediate depth holes were used to provide a qualitative and quantitative basis for a detailed interpretation of logs from the shallow part of the reservoir. A less detailed interpretation of logs from the deeper part of the reservoir is based on much less corroborative evidence. Extensive use was made of computer plotting techniques to arrive at some interpretations.Both the stratigraphic correlation utilizing a full suite of logs and the attitude of bedding calculated from acoustic televiewer logs indicate gentle dips throughout most of the reservoir with some local fractures.
