Foreign to Each Other

“We can’t even say prayers in our own schools anymore. But yet, we can build mosques across the country.”  Arlene Hawk of Ravelli County, Montana

rural-urban-mosaicI can’t stop thinking about this article. (Heads up:  there’s profanity.)  And the interview quoted above made me want to pull my hair out.  The interview was on NPR.  Of course it was.

Here are things I love:  NPR, The Atlantic, The New York Times, urban
coffee shops, Chicago Ideas Week.  I am an urban snob.  I grew up in a college town with well educated people from all over.  I have lived in cities for most of my adult life.  I have enjoyed privileges that come with white skin, college degrees, and money.  My car has heated seats for heaven’s sake.

Here are other things I love: the smell of cow manure and freshly mowed hay, church pork dinner fundraisers, men in dirty farm shirts with big bellies, women in aprons frying fish, diner waitresses with lots of blue eye shadow.  My extended family is from rural towns with populations under 1500.  My first call was in a tiny village with a population under 700.

The Cracked article helps explain why many people are angry.  Their jobs have gone away.  They are mocked.  They are called “a mass of ignorant, rageful, crude, cursing, spitting subhumans.”

No wonder our nation is divided.  We don’t understand each other.  We don’t even want to.

We are foreign to each other.

Even people who share the same religion and read the same Bibles disagree with the meaning of these words:

  • “So show your love for the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.” Deuteronomy 10:19
  • “The alien has not lodged outside, for I have opened my doors to the traveler.”  Job 31:32
  • “For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;” Matthew 25:35

Welcoming the aliens includes welcoming people who have alienated us and welcoming people whom we have alienated.  Maybe the foreigners are from Syria and maybe they are from Montana.  But we have got to stop mocking each other, stop demonizing each other, stop sharing misinformation about each other.

Fear of the other is killing us.

American Jewish Committee (AJC) Biography

None Found to the question "Is the ACLU Good for America?"

No position found as of Jan. 2005

“The American Jewish Committee, established in 1906 by a small group of American Jews deeply concerned about pogroms aimed at Russian Jews, determined that the best way to protect Jewish populations in danger would be to work towards a world in which all peoples were accorded respect and dignity.

Over 100 years later, AJC continues its efforts to promote pluralistic and democratic societies where all minorities are protected. AJC is an international think tank and advocacy organization that attempts to identify trends and problems early – and take action.”

“Safeguard the welfare and security of Jews in the United States, in Israel, and throughout the world.

Strengthen the basic principles of pluralism around the world as the best defense against anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry.

Enhance the quality of American Jewish life by helping to ensure Jewish continuity and deepen ties between American and Israeli Jews”

After taking a back seat to the recent sci/fi martial arts actioner Jiu jitsu, star Alain Moussi has confirmed via social media that the third entry in the Kickboxer reboot franchise, aptly titled Kickboxer: Armageddon is finally going to happen. After the well received second installment Kickboxer: Retaliation was released, the duo of director Dimitri Logothetis and martial arts action star Alain Moussi announced that the third movie would be put on hold so they could film the sci-fi epic which was a passion project to both of them.

With that film now out, Moussi has announced through social media that Armageddon is finally a go and that this entry will be “electrifying” and that it will feature “Kurt Sloan as you have never seen before.” Check out Moussi’s post on Facebook below!

There is no denying that the second film in the new Kickboxer reboot trilogy titled Kickboxer: Retaliation was a rousing success with critics and audiences alike. Action star and martial arts sensation Alain Moussi has definitely brought the 80’s fun back into the mainstream martial arts genre. Director Dimitri Logotheis, who helmed the second film, is back in the director’s chair once again and this time, we are promised a more dark and savage Kurt Sloan for the final battle. There was a teaser that dropped three years ago which primarily showcases scenes from the first two films but we do get a glimpse of Moussi’s new look for the film and it is lethal to say the least.

Kickboxer: Armageddon Teaser Poster

The plot for the third film is still a mystery but I had the distinct honor of interviewing Alain for Kickboxer: Retaliation a few years back when it hit and I asked him about the prospect of a trilogy to which Moussi gave me one hell of answer.

“I have to tell you right now from reading the first draft of the script, this is by far the best script I’ve read for all three Kickboxer films just from the starting point. It amps up the action, it amps up the character which is really cool. Kurt Sloan’s journey is really interesting and it’s kind of like my journey as an actor because I still consider myself a total rookie. I’m learning as an actor all the time and I’m constantly training so I feel like the character is evolving like my evolution as an actor. The first film didn’t ask much of me in terms of performance. Dimitri told me that he wanted me to be as natural as possible. He said that he wanted to get as much of me into this role. Now with the second film, there’s a little more trauma. He’s thrown into jail in Thailand and there is more going on there. For me because of my experience and training, I can deliver more in the second film. Now in the third film, Kurt Sloan has to go deeper and darker. That’s where he is going right now and bad things happen and instead of being pulled into this world, he decides to go back into that world to put an end to it so that’s where the story is going. He’s going into a very dark place because he needs to put an end to all that has been done to him. I can’t tell exactly what it is (laughs) but that’s where the story is headed. He’s going on a rampage from one person to the next to find the people responsible and put an end to it. That’s why the look I have now is completely different. I’ve been growing my hair out and the beard and that’s all for Kickboxer 3. This movie is going to a totally different place than the last two which is great.”

Now, of course, it’s all about the action and Moussi promises that the third film will feature action set pieces that will outdo the previous movies and that we haven’t seen anything yet in terms of brutal, skull crushing, unapologetic martial arts sequences.

“Now in terms of action, we know the things that our audience loves so we just want to deliver more and better versions of it and that is what we are working on now. In terms of a oner like we talked about earlier, you are going to see a crazy, amped up oner in this movie. In terms of the end fight and the stakes, we are going totally bonkers with that and it is going to be great. As you know in a trilogy, when you get to the third film, you often revisit things about the first and that definitely happens in this film in a great way. I think story wise, Kurt is going full circle and it’s going to please the audience. Our goal like I said was to top the last film and to top ourselves and that is what we are doing again with the third film. We want to top what we did in Vengeance and Retaliation but not with making the mistake of just putting everything on steroids. We want to make a cooler and newer version of what we did in the second film.” For my full interview with Alain, click here!

Aside from Moussi, casting is still pending but I’m sure that this movie will include some high profile real life fight talent like the other movies. Jean-Claude Van Damme, who starred in the original, essentially passed the torch to Moussi in the reboots as he played Sloan’s mentor and trainer Durand. No word as of yet if JC will be involved this time around but think I can speak for fans everywhere when I say we hope he returns.

A teaser for Armageddon was released a while back and it teases Moussi’s new darker and savage look for the film mixed in with high octane sequences from the other films. While we wait for more 411, check it out below to appropriately wet your appetite and keep it locked and loaded right here for more as we are your destination for everything action!

Pupils should no longer have to self-isolate if someone in school bubble gets COVID – expert

Pupils should not have to self-isolate if someone in their school bubble tests positive for COVID-19, England’s new children’s commissioner has said.

Dame Rachel de Souza is calling for an end to current coronavirus bubble arrangements in schools, which mean that whole classes have to self-isolate if someone in them catches COVID.

She said the “experience of lockdown has been a real trauma” for children and young people and the current rules are “a really big issue”.

“With bubbles, I think everybody would like it if we could get back to normal, as soon as possible. Obviously we have to be safe, and we have to take advice, but it’s very very restrictive,” she told The Daily Telegraph.

Dame Rachel said children have “given up 19 weeks of their education” due to lockdowns, adding: “They’ve taken a big burden for us.”

The current rules have led to a sharp increase in student absences, with the latest government figures showing 239,000 had missed classes and numbers trebling in the past week.

Reports in The Guardian on Tuesday claim ministers are set to scrap the current arrangements, with an announcement due in the next few days.

According to the paper, the government is planning on replacing self-isolation requirements with testing from September.

In the Commons on Monday, newly-appointed health secretary Sajid Javid said he had asked for “fresh advice” on the COVID-19 situation in schools.

Former health minister Steve Brine told Mr Javid “our young people have suffered enough”.

“Ten days of isolation are unavoidable under the current rules, even with a negative PCR test,” he said.

Mr Javid replied: “This is a very important issue and it is something I’ve focused on, on day one of the job.

“That is why I’ve asked for fresh advice on this. As he knows, the decision was made with the data that was available at the time.

“Clearly data is changing all the time and we must make sure that we keep that under review for exactly the right reasons that he has set out and, as I say, I have asked for advice on this and I will hopefully be able to say more on this as soon as possible.”

Ministers have been under growing pressure to change the rules in schools, with cases continuing to rise and the burden of absences increasing.

The UK recorded 22,868 new cases on Monday – the highest number since the end of January – with several countries, including Portugal, Spain, Malta and Hong Kong, imposing new rules on British travellers over concerns about the Delta (Indian) variant.

On Monday, Mr Javid, who replaced Matt Hancock as health secretary over the weekend following the publication of images of him kissing his aide, said the UK will “have to learn to live with” coronavirus.

He said he is “very confident” all remaining restrictions will be lifted in England on 19 July as planned, as there is no “zero risk” option.

My One Year Blogiversary

Today marks one year that I have been blogging here at  ADITL on the Farm.  I looked back at my post from this day one year ago and Hah....It could be the same post today...we are, once again, canning and getting ready for the piglets.  I guess our life is pretty predictable.

Some things don't change.  Many do.  We have gone through a lot together in the past year. Weddings, babies, puppies, deaths, changing roles, changing dreams and ideas. And you have been here through it all offering congratulations, support and encouragement.  I thank you for that.

I was reading one of the blogs I follow this morning, Zippiknits, and she was playing Sunday Stealing.  Lo and Behold, it was all about blogging.  So today, in honor of my Blogiversary, I am going to participate in this Sunday Stealing game.

For those of you that would like more info or to join us...Here you go.

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we try to credit the blog that we stole it from. We also provide a link to the victim's meme in our "Previous Victims" widget. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") Sometimes we edit the original meme, to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, to select the best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from this new meme or recently asked questions from a previously featured meme.
Let's go!!!

What kind of blog do you have?  My blog consists of my life here on the farm.  I share my adventures with cooking, canning, raising animal, dyi projects, decorating, quilting, caregiving and travel.  I recently started a new blog, where I am sharing my daily Quest for Fitness.

How many posts do you have? 751 posts on this blog...well this will make 752, and 4 posts on my new blog.

How many blogs do you follow? 44

How many followers do you have? I am not sure how you figure that out.  I have followers by email, by facebook, by bloglovin, by google+, and I am sure other feeds.

How often do you change your theme? Since my theme is so broad, I haven't really had to change it.  Then again, it changes daily, depending on what is happening in my life at the moment.

How often do you change your icon? I haven't yet.

Do you have any favorite blogs?  I can read about some of them here.  I also belong to several clubs that I love.  Secret Recipe Club, Food n Flix, Cook the Books, CG Swaps and I just recently signed up for 10 Days of Tailgating which begins September 20th and which I am excited about.

Do you ever send anonymous messages to other people? No, if I have to be ashamed to sign my name to something I shouldn't be saying it!!

Do you ever get any anonymous hate?  Just once, and it wasn't very hateful, just someone who was anti-catholic.  I tried to reach back with love and understanding and heard no more from that person.

Have you made any friends through your blog?  Several, and I hope some day to meet them in person.

What's your favorite thing about blogging? Getting to know you, my readers and followers.  Receiving your encouragement and support.

What's your least favorite thing about blogging? It is pretty time consuming.  It takes a lot of dedication and you find yourself living your life with the thought of how it is going to blog in the back of your mind.

I will be sharing this at Inspiration Monday.  Stop by and let us know what Inspires you.

One year ago today: Getting Ready for Piglets

  1. Congratulations! All I can say is time flies. Someday I want to go back the beginning and redo some of my early posts. I was pretty clueless. So glad to have met you through the blogosphere!

    1. I don't know that you should redo them Debra...they were all part of the journey and new bloggers can look through them and get the inspiration they need to carry on with their blogs.

  2. Congratulations on one year! I hope you keep blogging for many years to come. And someday I hope we get to meet in person

    1. We will one day Paula. Sooner or later one of us will end up in the other's vicinity and then we will have the opportunity.

  3. Happy Blogiversary! I loved going back to read your first post. I am counting on us meeting in, me and Paula having lunch and cocktails in Vegas maybe??? Or on your back deck...when the pool is open please!

I enjoy getting comments and feedback from my audience. Please let me know what you think, keeping in mind that we are all entitled to our own beliefs and opinions. I am happy to hear yours as long as they are stated nicely.

The Saddle Lake First Nation community is proud of their record with keeping COVID-19 at bay. This tight-knit community of about 7,000 band members living on a reserve near St. Paul, Alberta, has experienced only one COVID case as of publication date of this issue of Alberta Doctors' Digest. They have achieved this by being proactive from the start.

Dr. Nicole Cardinal is a physician practicing at the Saddle Lake Health Centre. She says the aspect of multi-generational social housing on reserve created the realization that they needed to act fast rather than waiting to be told what to do, whether from the federal or provincial governments.

“Our first goal was to keep the health centre open,” says Dr. Cardinal. “We knew the importance of accessing health care in our community is essential. We did not want to close the health centre and create a situation where our people would need to leave the community for care.”

“So we took steps to limit the number of people coming in to the health centre, and we triaged people according to AHS guidelines,” adds Dr. Cardinal.

She says the community also took the extra measure of restricting outside visitors coming into the community. Plus community members were discouraged from travelling away to high-risk cities and potentially bringing the infection back to Saddle Lake.

“Because we have so many social complexities in our community to take into consideration, we knew that if we had a COVID case in Saddle Lake, it would multiply because of the way Indigenous communities work,” she adds. “So we also ramped up testing at the health centre, including a drive-through test facility.”

Dr. Cardinal grew up in the community and is a band member practicing medicine at the local health centre. Because of her background, she realized there are aspects of Indigenous culture that needed to be respected in the fight against COVID. One aspect was that telemedicine would not likely be very successful because members of her community prefer to see their doctor in person. “A lot of our members don’t have cell phones, computers or Internet.”

As well, Dr. Cardinal says the number of community members who practice traditional Indigenous medicine has increased since the start of COVID. Although she practices Euro-Canadian medicine, she knows that having a strong respect for traditional approaches is essential.

“A lot of our community members feel traditional medicine is helping to control the rate of COVID in our community,” says Dr. Cardinal. “So I’m not going to discourage them. But I do want to work together with them. They need to feel they are in control of their health care, which they are. This is something they believe in culturally.”

“Participating in ceremonies are a form of medicine for us, such as participating in sweats, sun dances and prayers. When we had tighter COVID restrictions, it was quite difficult for our members to participate in these activities, and it was hard to suggest they should not do it..”

“Our community cares about each other because we all know each other,” concludes Dr. Cardinal.

The Arab-Islamic Gift: Translating Western Culture OR Thanks for the Roots of Western Culture, Savages, Now Scram.

About twelve different things converged this week to make me excited about thinking about the Arabic and Islamic contribution to Greek translation history.  Obama gave a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast referencing “terrible deeds in the name of Christ” to which critics responded that that wasn’t representative of Christianity and that it ignores how the Crusades were provoked by Muslims, never mind that claims that violence done in the name of Allah is not representative of Islam are roundly dismissed or that it isn’t so obvious that Christianity created liberalism.  Chris Kyle, the hero of American Sniper, regularly refers to the Iraqis he is killing at a sniper’s distance as savages in that film that has spawned a whole new round of people eager to do violence to Muslims.  The standoff between Europe and Greece over debt is currently being negotiated raising questions of what Greece’s relationship to Europe is.  I just wrote the course description for my medieval philosophy course next semester that will take up Christian, Jewish and Islamic commentators of Aristotle. I’ve been re-reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X for a reading group I’m doing on campus for Black History Month with some other faculty and students and I was just yesterday reading the middle chapters about the Nation of Islam and Malcolm X’s efforts to recast the history of race relations and religion. I’ve been teaching about how social context affects perception in my philosophy of race course. Into this constellation of thoughts and events landed an essay by Azzedine Haddour from the 2008 edited collection Translation and the Classic: Identity as Change in the History of Culture.  Haddour’s essay, “Tradition, Translation and Colonization: The Graeco-Arabic Translation Movement and Deconstructing the Classics,” returned my attention to some themes I was thinking of last summer in terms of the question of ‘ownership’ of the Greeks (which I blogged about here and here).  Haddour argues that the Arabic role in the transmission of Greek texts to us, and through Greek texts, Western culture, is effaced when it is considered merely passive, as a conduit that moves what is “ours” through “them” to get it safely back to” us.”  Not only was it not passive, Haddour argues, but Arabic culture brought us many of the knowledge practices that we today think of as quintessentially “Western” and Christian: the inquisitive spirit and the primacy of the text.  If he’s right, we have Arabic Islam to thank for the tradition of  textual criticism.

Reasons Why Taking Whey Protein Supplements is Important

When it comes to protein, there are so many types that are readily available in the market. These types include Soy, whey, egg, pea, rice, and casein. While all these options are available, protein supplements that professional athletes use are often dominated by whey. The reason for this is very simple; whey is pure milk protein which takes care of all someone’s fitness requirements without necessarily sending his or her diet down the drain with high starch or sugar content.

There are so many reasons why we should take whey protein supplements. Let’s take a look at some of them.

Helps muscle building and weight loss

A whey protein supplement is generally a 360-degree nutrition packed supplement. So, it means that one easily cut down on meat and eggs, which are high protein foods, from the diet in order to keep low fats. Whey protein supplement will take care of the cut down of proteins from the diet. Whey protein is a great agent that helps muscle strength and building. It catalyzes the person’s post workout recovery and aids the muscles to grow and to also gain strength. This is what makes hey protein supplement the best choice for many professional athletics.

Controls hunger pangs

Fighting food cravings and hunger pangs is usually the most difficult part of a weight loss program. When you consume whey protein, it will help you keep the hunger pangs under control and you will not easily get deviated from your diet plans while still keeping your energy levels intact.

Increase strength and muscle size

Whey protein is fully packed with amino acids. Whey protein triggers production of enzymes in your body that strengthen the muscles and repair them. In case you are hitting the gym so you can gain some muscles, then you should make hey protein your friend. Several researches and studies have revealed that whey protein gives best results as compared to other known, available types of proteins, especially when it comes to gaining muscle strength and losing fat. You can buy whey protein online from any trusted vitamin and supplements store in Dubai.

Combats stress

Whey protein is also an excellent agent for fighting depression and tress. If you replace with the energetic whey protein shake, you will start feeling less stressed out and start feeling positive. Just buy whey protein online from any vitamin and supplement store.

Love TV? TV women have brought us great lessons in leadership, achievement and diligence. It’s time their stories are told and in many cases, placed in the proper context of the women’s movement, social change and political trends. Representation of women on TV – whether it’s in the news, programming schedule or sports – is a fraction of the amount of screen time men get. Yet every generation of women is profoundly impacted by what they see. It’s more than the memory of watching it, it’s the confidence that if a girl or woman sees another doing it, she is more likely to believe in herself.

Advanced TV Herstory connects the dots of TV and feminism with American politics and culture. Within each episode, we zero in on the life lessons discovered through research and analysis. Shows from every era and genre, and the women who made them, get their place in the spotlight.

All Kinds of Friends – In Honor of Kurt

Most of us have at least one good friend.  Many of us have lots of friends.  Some we are close with and some we don’t know well.  Some come and go and some last a life time.

But do you remember ever wanting to have a pen pal?  A friend who you would likely never meet?  One you would only write letters to and wait longingly for a postmarked reply?

I never had a pen pal.  I always wanted one.  Never had the opportunity – not until I moved to Ankara.

In April 2010, having lived in Ankara for one month, I started this blog.  The word of the blog quickly spread.  And before I knew it, I had connected with other expats in a way I had not imagined.

It started with comments.  But I soon found myself meeting local expats for coffee and meals.  That lead to shopping, dinners and movies.

There are also expats , many of whom are fellow bloggers, that I feel close to in some way.  We share passions.  Passions for writing, for travel, for music and for fine food.  We comment on each others blogs, connect on Facebook and other social medias, and email each other regularly.  These are the people who have filled that spot of “pen pal wanted”.

There is one such pen pal that I want to tell you about, Kurt.  He passed away two days ago.  Kurt had lived in Turkey for at least 20 years.  I believe I first “met” Kurt after posting my first restaurant review in April 2010.  We never physically met each other.

Kurt was the a very kind and helpful man.  He would offer advice, usually only when asked, about things like the Turkish healthcare system, tips on travel, and restaurants.  He was willing to share with anyone who asked.

Kurt and I had things in common.  We were both raised in the Northeast.  We both had family ties to North Carolina and to Germany.  We both married Turks.  We both spoke German.  But most importantly, we shared a love of fine food.

I doubt Kurt ever read this blog regularly.  But he always emailed me after a restaurant review.  He had great tips of where to eat and which places to avoid like the plague.  Our relationship grew to a point where he would randomly email me when he found a good deal on a great restaurant.  I really grew fond of him and looked forward to his messages.

Last month, Kurt revealed that he would be heading to the States this summer and wanted to visit one of his former stomping grounds, Philadelphia.  I was so excited that I could finally return his kindnesses!  I replied with a lengthy list of my favorite restaurants along with links to online restaurant reviews.  I even offered to meet him and his wife for dinner.

Yesterday morning, I realized I had not heard from Kurt since that exchange and thought I should email him.  Just moments later, I received an email from a mutual friend of his passing.  I feel as if I had lost a dear friend, albeit a pen pal.

Kurt was a fine man and will surely be missed by many on both sides of the pond.  I will always remember him for his vivacity, goodness, and passion for fine dining.  And I will definitely follow his last words of advice to me, “Keep up your writings.”

Yesterday, I met with a group of my Turkish gal pals for lunch.  It was a lovely setting on Mogan Lake.  Once lunch was served, I shared my story of Kurt with my friends.  We then raised our glasses and toasted Kurt.

To Kurt and to Friends!

  1. “Virtual” friends are often nothing of the sort – they’re real but real in a different way. It’s so very sad but I love the way you marked his passing. Done in style. I would wish for the same..

  2. Merhaba;
    So sorry about your loss, it must have been a great shock..This is a wonderfu tribute to him though, and the spiritual part of me says that it shall be felt..
    On a happy note, I am just delighted to find your blog- having spent my childhood in Ankara, I am very fond of the city. I am now based in England, though with close ties with home, teaching Turkish cuisine and blogging regional recipes. I am giving your blog a link at mine right away, and look forward to your posts!

    1. Hi Ozlem, Thanks for the comment and welcome to the blog! I just found yours this week as well (thanks to Claudia.) I added you to my Culinary Corner and will be updated the blogroll soon. I hope you will come back often!

Did you Know? and a Photo of the Day

Did you know that in Turkey, you can go to the local bakery (bread baker, not the pastry maker) and buy a ball of dough?  Then you can use it for your own yummy creations.  Yesterday I made strombolis!

Homemade Strombolis

Obviously, I am no expert.  But they sure were yummy!  I sauteed red peppers, onions, and mushrooms, added ground beef, tomato paste, herbs, garlic, and of course – cheeses!

My favorite spot charges the same price for the dough as a fully baked loaf, 0.70TL (about 40¢.)  For these, I actually used the thinner, smaller loave.  They are a bit more dense, like French bread.  I used 2 for each boli.  But I think I would only use one ball of dough if I tried it with the regular loaf (which I consider more Italian style bread.)

You may also be able to buy dough at the Pide/Lamacun restaurants.  It’s worth a try.  I know people that make their own Lamacun topping and then take it to the restaurant to bake it!

  1. . . one of the things I love about this country is that people always try to accomodate you. ‘This is Turkey, everything is possible!’ is a common phrase around here.

  2. I so envy you for this :)! I miss getting the dough from the bakery!! Another thing we used to do when I was a child in Antakya was to take our lahmacun topping to the bakery and they would bake it for us, so yummy:) enjoy the dough – and the bread!

    1. I have to say Ozlem, the bakery was one of the biggest things I looked forward to when I moved to Ankara. I just loved the concept of buying fresh bread for pennies every day. Sounded almost romantic. Still does.

    1. Hello and thanks for reading the post! I guess because the photo is small, it could look like a cig borek. But no, it’s not. I made it, so I am sure of it! It is what we call a stromboli. It is like a pizza that is closed in. i believe there is a pide made like that too!

    Posted: 08-Mar-2020 at 11:35pm

The whole world is talking about bringing peace to the war torn people of Afghanistan but it is further more complicated every day with every peace deal.

The Dragon with three heads (Afghanistan)

I just don't know if burning the whole forest is the answer, when we had the fires in California and Australia the concern was to stop it, wasn't it?

I just don't know how far back in history of Afghanistan do I have to go to make a point but the cycle keeps on repeating in a circle over and over again.

Should I start with Alexander the Great or before that? Or should I start with the British that split Afghanistan in two?  Or the Russian invasion when the people of this country was supported then abandoned to a country that was created when Afghanistan was divided in two?  I think it is best to start from 911 where there wasn't even one Afghan involved in it.

To avenge the horrific attack of 911 the U.S. government invaded Afghanistan created a government for them till it was acceptable to them and continued bombing the Taliban in their homes till they regrouped in Pakistan and started another war, meanwhile the democratic elections in Afghanistan became an issue and the U.S. decided to have a power sharing solution that created a Dragon with two heads which wasn't as bad as the democratic election of 2019, The two heads have announced a parallel government in one body (Afghanistan) . The most amazing thing is that they knew about the peace talks between the Taliban and the U.S., and as a leaders of a country, that would be an indication of being cautious and keeping your jobs and the responsibility to the people who supported you. Their supporters were the poor people of Afghanistan and the super powers, the super power made a deal with the Taliban creating a Dragon with three heads, with each head attacking itself (Afghanistan) and the poor Afghan supporters of each head will die and their bodies will be divided in three parts and their children will become slaves of others.

This will be a fictional story based on true historical facts that our children will watch in movies if these heads do not prevent themselves from looking for power and uniting their poor people.

Afghans killing Afghans is not the answer, the answer is stopping the fires from burning everything in its path like the fires in Australia and California. Please stop this war that is burning and dividing your country.

“Is your hair dry?” “Are you having trouble detangling?”

Hello everyone, we’re talking conditioner today! If you were going through, and checking off the questions of today’s post title, and nodding your head yes, it is definitely time to whip out the nearest conditioner and go to work on your hair! We all know the signs, your hair starts to feel crunchy, you touch it and cringe, it has lost its shine, detangling is an absolute nightmare. Yes your hair is in need of some T.L.C, and fast! So, what should you look for in your conditioner? Well that depends on you, however, when conditioning, you want to think about what is being used in your product. Ask yourself, is this something that I’m willing to leave on my hair, for any length of time? Do these products have any nutritional value for my hair and scalp? Your hair is an extension of yourself, it is a part of you, it needs the same things you do. Well, not all of them, but a great deal of them! Protein is one of the number one ingredients you want to look for when conditioning. Vitamins are also helpful, such as vitamin E. Think moisture! As I said before, I have been using olive conditioner, however going organic is a great alternative to store brought products. That way you know exactly what you’re putting on to your hair. I personally have been known to use mayonnaise, as a conditioner, especially when I’m running low on products, that is! You can always go into the kitchen, and find something’s you can add into a conditioner you’re already using, or create your own creation (within reason). Please don’t just go whip up any old thing. Think about it, ask yourself is this something you need, is this going to do my hair any justice? So I’m researching more and more, about different food ingredients, that may be good to add to my conditioner. So, what caught my eye recently, is yogurt. Yes ladies, not just for eating, it’s much more. Due to yogurt containing some protein, it has sufficed for a good conditioner, go figure. I always knew that protein and moisture were good for your hair, I have added mayonnaise, cracked an occasional egg or two, but this for me is new! Avocados, also serve as a great ingredient for a conditioner. Avocados have protein, potassium, and various vitamins to moisturize your hair. So, now that we are with more information we can get to it. Remember conditioning is a key element to healthy hair. Condition often, and that means as much as needed. You can condition overnight, condition for a wash and go, condition in a baggy, whatever! You need to work conditioning into your schedule, please do! Start from your scalp, and work your way down, remember the ends are where your hair needs it the most. Be kinky, be curly, be you, and you will never fail, confidence is key!

The War Racket

This Past Saturday, March 27th, Veterans for Truth(Who's headquarters are provided by AFSC) hosted a workshop entitled, "The War Racket". The title is of course inspired by the WWI two star general who came out against the military, admitting that it was a big profit scheme.
Veteran's for Truth(VTF) had a number of presenters that covered a variety of topics. Bruce Dixon from the Black Agenda Report talked about the militarization of the Chicago School system, Ingemar Smith, a veteran and DJ AT WRFG spoke about racism and misogyny in the military, and former Marine Corps recruiter Chris Raissi answered questions about the realities of military recruitment in Georgia. Other speakers included Gloria Tatum( Atlanta Grandmothers for Peace), Stephanie Stuckey Benifield( Georgia Representative), Hugh Esco(Georgia Green Party), and John Zientowski( Student Career Alternatives Program).
The crowd was also treated to a wonderful performance by the spoken word collective, "Guilty Penmanship" who put pieces together that highlighted the injustice of the military industrial complex.
The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta's Peace Network was also on hand to present the first Annual "Ed Arnold Peacemaker Award" to your truly, what an honor! Ed was a great man who I had only met a few times back in 2003, 2004 before he passed away. He left behind a mighty legacy of peace and justice work in the southeast. I can't tell you how honored I was to receive the award. I only hope I can life up to Ed's example.

The King Center Shifting Focus Towards Local Grassroots work!!

AFSC has a deep connection with Dr, Martin Luther Kings work. It was AFSC that set up and financed a tour of India for Coretta Scott and Dr. King to meet with folks that had worked directly with Gandhi. It was AFSC that first published the famous, "Letter From a Birmingham Jail" and distributed it nationally. It was AFSC that nominated Dr. King for his nobel peace prize. It was AFSC that built the King family a retreat center in North Carolina that Dr. King never got to set foot into as a result of his assassination.
I can honestly say that my choice to pursue employment at AFSC was greatly influenced by the historical connection to Dr. King. His writings have extremely influential and have played a major role in my personal and professional evolution. So I was surprised to discover, after I accepted the job at AFSC Atlanta, that we had really no connection at all to the King Center. In fact in one takes a tour of the King center they would really see or read nothing of AFSC. I've often browsed the King Centers website looking for ways that AFSC could plug into something the King Center is working on.
Finally, the opportunity came! Jeremy Foreman, a staffer from Hands On Southeast Georgia and follow GPJC member, suggested that the King Center sponsor a workshop for our upcoming "Be the Change" Youth Convergence. This of course made perfect sense because the grounding text for the workshop is Dr. King's "Beyond Vietnam" speech. Jeremy had been working with the King Center and was willing to help me make the initial contact.
The King center invited me to participate in a two day Kingian Nonviolence Education training which is part of their "Beloved Community Network" project. In an effort to combat the obvious institutional racism that we live with today the King Center is trying to train hundreds of potential trainers that will be sent out to community centers, high risk schools, and Churches in an effort to institutionalize nonviolence. The Beloved Community, as Dr. King defined it, is a global vision, an all-inclusive spirit of sisterhood and brotherhood, where people can share in the wealth of the Earth. In the Beloved Community, poverty, hunger, racism,violence, and homelessness will not be tolerated because international standards of decency will not allow it.
While at the training I was able to meet trainers that were at the last stage of the training, preparing to use what they has learned to reach out to their communities. There were former Atlanta gang members, felons, members of the clergy. There were a few dozen Nigerians, some of whom were former warlords that had grown heartsick of war and violent conflict resolution.
The workshop taught Kingian nonviolent conflict resolution as a practical alternative to violent resolution.
The workshop facilitated by Dr. Benard LaFayette, who has been a hero of mine every since I started studying King. Dr. LaFayette was a co-founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee(SNCC), a leader of the Nashville Movement, and the Freedom Rides. I had the opportunity to spend one of the breaks talking with him and I learned that he actually used to work for AFSC. He told me that AFSC actually got him involved in the peace movement and proceeded to swap a few AFSC stories with me! Pretty amazing!

Charles Alphin also facilitated portions of the workshop. His story was pretty compelling. He was a police captain in St Louis for 26 years and used to write off Dr. King's nonviolence as a waste of time. In fact he admits to teaching, encouraging, and participating in many violent actions that he's ashamed of. In the late 70's he met Dr. LaFayette and had a convergence experience, retired from the force and at the request of Mrs Coretta Scott King moved his family to Atlanta and eventually became the Director of Education and Training for the King Center.
There was a last minute presentation at the training by CT Vivian! Another giant of the civil right movement. He helped found the Nashville Christian Leadership Conference, and helped organize the first sit-ins in Nashville in 1960 and the first civil rights march in 1961. Vivian rode the first "Freedom Bus" into Jackson, Mississippi, and went on to work alongside Martin Luther King Jr., James Bevel, Diane Nash, and others on SCLC's Executive Staff in Birmingham, Selma, Chicago, Nashville, the March on Washington; Danville, Virginia, and St. Augustine, Florida. Some claim that the St. Augustine campaign helped lead to the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Vivian's role in it was honored when he returned to the city in 2008 to dedicate a Freedom Trail of historic sites of the Civil Rights Movement.

During the summer following the Selma Movement, Vivian conceived and directed an educational program, Vision, and put 702 Alabama students in college with scholarships (this program later became Upward Bound). His 1970 Black Power and the American Myth was the first book on the Civil Rights Movement by a member of Martin Luther King's staff. I note all that just to give an idea of what is was like to be in such an intimate setting with these folks, these living breathing history volumes.
So the King Center is currectly looking into the possibility of sponsoring a workshop at thei years, "Be the Change" and AFSC Atlanta is looking at the possibility of getting some of our folks to participate in the Kingian Nonviolence trainings that are coming up some...let me know if you're interested.

"It's My Life" Art Contest, Huge Success!!!!

We've been promoting the Student Career Alternative's, "It's My Life" contest across the metro area since January with an underlying fear that no submissions would come in.
High School Art and English teachers in Gwinett, Cobb, Fulton, and Dekalb Counties were all invited to participate by passing along the contest information to their students.

The contest challenged students to create art works inspired by one of four themes:
"Young People Acting for Local and Global Change"
"Your Vision of a Peaceful and Sustainable Future"
"Non-Military Career Paths and Dreams"
"Is America Addicted to War? If so, How Does it Affect you?"

There five art mediums that students could submit entries in:
Essays/Short Stories/Poetry
Graphic Design
Painting/Mixed Media

Prizes promoted were:
1st place in each medium: 12 month membership to WonderRoot Community Art center along with a very special, funded six month mentorship with a successful artist in that medium.
2nd place in each medium was a $50. gift card to Sam Flax art supply store, donated by Sam Flax!!!!

Then there was an over grand prize of $100. cash.

Our Goal was to provide an opportunity to showcase some of Atlanta's talented youth, possibly provide some new windows of opportunity, and to get folk to really think about some of the themes that each piece was to be inspired by.

Well, during the first week of March all of our worries about light submissions evaporated as we were overwhelmed by phone calls by students, parents, and teachers about the contest. We were invited to come out to more high schools to talk about SCAP and the contest then we could cover. It was pretty amazing to be invited to so many schools to talk about SCAP, many remember that it was just last year that it was like pulling teeth to get school faculty to return a phone call from SCAP. Some administrators even laughed us off their campuses. For the first time ever we were in a position to have to turn down invitations to high school due to capacity, clearly an issue we must address.
By March 15th, the contest deadline, we had 63 amazing entries all worthy of being part of our three week, "It's My Life" exhibit at WonderRoot. As we went through all of the entries that came from a dozen different metro area schools it was clear that the judges of the contest were going to have a difficult time picking winners.

Our panel of judges where:
Joey Arbuckle with Sam Flax
Kwajelyn Jackson with WonderRoot
Haley Murphy with Student Career Alternatives
Jo A Peterson, a professor with Savannah College of Art and Design
Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier, renowned painter, photographer, and writer

On Saturday March 20th we held our art opening and awards ceremony at WonderRoot. Turn out was wonderful. We had artists, SCAP members, parents, teachers, students, and other community members come out for the event. One of the highlights was live performances by extremely talented high school students, Aaron Cooper, Iqbal Chandbury, Manuel Allison, and Britnie Valentine.

After performances everyone that entered the contest was given a certificate of participation and invited to get a picture taken next to their art work.

After certificates were given out and pictures were taken Andy Fritz, our emcee for the night, called everyone together and introduced the judges who announced the winners.

Grand Prize
Samara Abdulla- None-military career paths and dreams-Essay.

First Prize
Lisa Bi – Awakened By Sleepless Nights
Mixed Media
Khris Dixon - Survivors Story
Iqbal Chandbury – One Rhyme
Graphic Design

Michelle Partogi – Peace Starts With Saving One Person

Second Prize
Courtney Seale - Sacrifice
Mixed Media
Erin Foster – Affected Youth
Aaron Cooper - Fatherless
Graphic Design

In addition to the 1st,2nd, and grand prize winners WonderRoot extended the offer of a free year long membership to every student that entered the contest!!
We plan to chronicle all of the winners on this blg in the coming weeks so stay tuned.

ALSO!!! Please stop by WonderRoot between now and April 11th to view the art exhibit!!

Operation Anti-War Visibilty Claimed the Atlanta Skies on the Anniversity of the Iraq Invasion

It's hard to believe that we have been living with war in Iraq for seven years now. With the economic crisis and health care reform taking center stage in our national discourse many people have forgotten that the war In Iraq continues. Paradoxically heath care reform would be an easier sell if we weren't spending unthinkable dollars on a war that an overwhelming percentage of American believe is based on lies, and certainly the argument could(and has) been made that our economic crash is a direct result of these multiple wars(Iraq alone cost 720 million a day!!).

It's time we start to see the Iraq war for what it is, a robbery from out communities. Not only has this war robbed us of people who were loved and needed, it has robbed us of much needed resources.

The draining of social safety nets, the pending increase in College tuition's all over the country, and the Military Industrial Complexes 11 billion dollar recruitment budget,has created a poverty draft into the military. Middle and low income youth often reach out to the military, not to serve their country, but to get a job, a steady pay check. So it's not just an overwhelming majority of our budget that goes to plan for and fight wars, it's also our loved ones.

The Georgia Peace and justice Coalition(GPJC) wanted to do something different this year t mark the 7th year anniversary of the Iraq invasion, something that would perhaps shock Atlanta, remind our city that we still live with this war, we still pay for this war, and Iraqis still die in this war. The idea that was given birth in the GPJC meeting went on to be called, "Operation Anti-War Visibility". Groups and individuals were asked to create banners and signs and that reminded folks that we're still in Iraq. Folks were asked to find ways to make sure mass numbers of people in the city saw these banners, even if it meant risking jail.

AFSC Atlanta answered that call. We hosted a banner making party and resembled several streets teams(members of these teams will remain anonymous). Five huuuge banners were created and three smaller ones. There were also stacks of posters that were made available for wheat pasting projects.

On Friday, March 19th, at 7am,we know that four banners dropped of the 75/85 connector. One very large banner that read, "Iraq War: Seven Year Too Long" was seen on the 5th street bridge, visible to morning commuters going southbound. Another huge banner that gave the casualty numbers for Iraqi civilians and US soldiers was seem dropped right next to the Olympic torch neat the North Ave exit on the connector.

During afternoon rush hour we know at least four more banners were dropped. One was 30x15 ft! One was dropped off the Freedom pkwy Bridge and another huge one was daringly dropped of the overpass on International blvd that read, "Troops out of Iraq Now."

There was also a team of folks that wheatpasted anti-war messages around the city, and there were two lunch hour street demonstrations held, on at 14th and peachtree, and the other on the Marietta Square in front of the courthouse.

We at American Friends Service Committee truly hope that this is the last year we mark this sad day. We can only imagine a world where the resources raised in our communities are invested in social uplift instead of annihilation.

I'll end this post with a quote from Martin Luther King's, "Beyond Vietnam" speech, a speech that has shaped my life in many ways.
"A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war, "This way of settling differences is not just." This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."

-Martin Luther King, April 4th, 1967

A ruby is a pink to blood-red colored gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum (aluminium oxide). The red color is caused mainly by the presence of the element chromium.

Its name comes from ruber, Latin for red. Other varieties of gem-quality corundum are called sapphires. Ruby is considered one of the four precious stones, together with sapphire, emerald and diamond and Watches.

Prices of rubies are primarily determined by color. The brightest and most valuable “red” called blood-red or “pigeon blood”, commands a large premium over other rubies of similar quality.

After color follows clarity: similar to diamonds, a clear stone will command a premium, but a ruby without any needle-like rutile inclusions may indicate that the stone has been treated. Cut and carat (weight) are also an important factor in determining the price.

Ruby is the traditional birthstone for July and is always lighter red or pink than garnet. The world’s most expensive ruby is the Sunrise Ruby.

These three jewellery variations exude radiant sensuality and flamboyant style. The same precious stones adorn the bezel, dial hour-markers, crown and cabochons. The alligator leather strap picks up the same vibrant colour.

The 18-carat white gold case is set with diamonds, while the centre of the mother-of-pearl dial is adorned with brilliants. Not to mention the famous ‘Happy Diamonds’, in this instance interpreted as rubies, sapphires and emeralds twirling around the dial. Available from Al Manara boutiques across Abu Dhabi.

About 15,000 Vets Eligible for Camp Lejeune Benefits

WASHINGTON About 15,000 veterans would be eligible for expanded disability compensation because of exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, NC, between August 1953 and December of 1987, change to: according to the VA.
It might be a while before a program is in place, however.
VA announced in December that it will propose a presumption of service connection related to Camp Lejeune for the following conditions:
  • Kidney Cancer
  • Liver Cancer
  • Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
  • Leukemia
  • Multiple Myeloma
  • Scleroderma
  • Parkinson’s Disease
  • Aplastic Anemia/Myelodysplastic Syndromes
This is expected to ease the process for veterans to receive benefits, because it will be presumed that the listed condition was caused by military service.
“The water at Camp Lejeune was a hidden hazard, and it is only years later that we know how dangerous it was,” VA Secretary Robert McDonald said in a recent statement.
VA’s proposal would also expand benefits eligibility to Reserve and National Guard personnel who served at Camp Lejeune for any length of time from August 1, 1953, through December 31, 1987.
“The VA is finally granting some justice to veterans who were exposed to contaminated drinking water while assigned to Camp Lejeune,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said after VA’s announcement.
“This is victory for those who have long suffered as a result of the toxic exposure to chemicals while serving our country at Camp Lejeune,” added Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC).

Wild Nettle Houmous

Stinging nettles are a godsend in April, when supplies of last season’s veggies are running low and next season’s veggies are not quite ready. When I took a wander up to the allotment on Thursday, I noticed Ade had left one of the veg beds fallow and it was thick with nettles! They were at their best; young, fresh, the new shoots ripe for the picking. (Ouch! Wear gloves, dear reader.)

Nettles are a great wild food to forage. They’re plentiful, they’re delicious, and they’re rich in iron, magnesium and calcium. They lend themselves to all sorts of recipes, from teas to tarts. Nettle pesto is a particular favourite of mine. Just make sure you harvest the young, tender tips only, and don’t leave it too late in the season as they become bitter after they’ve flowered. April is the perfect month for them here in Hertfordshire.

I turned my stinging nettle harvest into a simple houmous recipe for lunch, and this really is a great place to start if you’ve never eaten nettles before. It’s quick, easy and the houmous has a very delicate nettle taste, it’s not overpowering at all. By all means, double the quantity of nettles if you’re willing to try something punchier (or if your allotment is in such a parlous state, you have a limitless supply of weeds to work with!)

Serve the wild nettle houmous with strips of warm flat bread and crudités. Sadly, we’ve eaten the last of our stored carrots, and by the time our homegrown summer veggies are ready to serve alongside this, the nettles will be past their best, so shop-bought crudités had to do in this instance. But I did manage to find some tasty, young nasturtium leaves to use as a garnish.

Wild Nettle Houmous

Prep: 10 mins  Serves: 4 as a snack

A couple of handfuls of stinging nettles (I used about 25g, but you can add more)
1 400g tin of chickpeas
1 clove of garlic
1 tablespoon tahini
A good squeeze of lemon juice
1-2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and Pepper

Bring a pan of water to the boil.

Wearing gloves, thoroughly wash the nettles, before blanching in boiling water for about 1 minute. This will remove the sting.

Drain the nettles, reserving some of the water. (You can drink this as a tea, but I find it useful to splash some into the houmous later on, to loosen the mixture.) Run the nettles under cold water to stop them cooking.

Drain and rinse the chickpeas and tip into a food processor.

Peel and roughly chop the garlic, and add to the food processor along with the tahini, lemon juice and 1 tbsp of olive oil.

Squeeze the water from the nettles, chop roughly and add to the food processor.

Season well with salt and pepper, put the lid on and blitz until smooth. Have a taste, adjust the seasoning, and add another squeeze of lemon juice, a little more oil and some nettle water if the mixture is too dry. Blitz again.

Once you’re happy with the taste and consistency, transfer the wild nettle houmous into a bowl and serve with warm flatbreads and crudités.

      1. We had nettle pesto last night! And nettle tea! 😂 We tried a variant of a River Cottage pesto recipe (we added sliced almonds), but will certainly try yours too. I think I’m in love with nettle. 😁

ru brides

 In ru brides

Marry Russian Female

This subject matter was detailed sometimes: foreigners marry slavic gals and get all of them away for oceans. Yet what is the cause of sucha keen interest in russian relationships and dating females? Why do all global going out withsites simply overruned by hot statements of love as well as assurances of overseas guys? It appeared that there are substantial arguements!

1. Russian ladies are actually great moms.

Unfortunately, there is actually a sad possibility in international countries: several women don’t desire to possess children. They simply favor &laquo;& laquo; independence & raquo; and also residing happily, as they say. The refusal to possess little ones specifically worries company gal. Sometimes they also do not would like to wed! Youngster is actually linked withobligation, troubles and stipulation of itself in numerous traits. It is required to take note, that in the CIS nations there is actually a similar possibility. Yet the factors vary! Women reject to marry considering that they hesitant of absence of methods for the servicing. Youngster is required to become feed, well-dressed and showed. All this is extremely pricey for folks of the CIS! Russian politicians outline the falling of the childbirthfee however there must be done this many factors first than russian women wishto keep in te native country. The Russian lady long for having a child given that very early childhood years. She prepares to bear as well as deal withthe baby withno nurse practitioners untill she perishes. The only issue resides in locating a great other half withdeserving earnings.

2. Russian women are excellent partners.

It means they are actually constantly prepared to pay attention, to know, as well as to support the hubby. Simply compare withforeign gals, that concentrated on the product side first of all.

Grigory, 32 years:

&laquo;& laquo; I am a sufficiently richman as well as I had a passion along withamerican lady. Initially, the image as well as the original firmly varied. I presume the course &laquo;& laquo; Photoshop & raquo; aided a whole lot. The second thing is, during the course of the 1st our stroll I thought that I am actually a money-bag. I listened to generally words &laquo;& laquo; I want & raquo;, & laquo; provide me&raquo;& raquo; as well as & laquo; acquire me & raquo;. I tried to start a conversation on ethical topics, made an effort to become enchanting, but it was in vain. This stroll was actually the very first and the final for our company&raquo;& raquo;.

3. Russian girls are truly excellent homemakers.

Probably, this concept has actually remained merely in slavic households. BothRussian and Ukrainian females clean and also iron clothes, clean your house and also enhance it in every feasible means. Nevertheless, do not hope that your other half will certainly be participated in it for times on end and withno present day ways. They do not desire to become Cinderellas as well as slaves. An overseas guy ought to take it into profile and create one of the most comfortable problems for house cleaning.

4. Russian gals are actually the most attractive

It’s very complicated to question about this fact. Undoubtedly, there are many pretty lady in USA and also Germany, but certainly not even in Russia and also Ukraine. The globe takes this.

5. Russian girls are sirens of culinary.

Foreign women do certainly not suchas to cook food items. Moreover – they usually do not recognize just how to prepare the simple dishes! There are parlourmaids and slaves for this instance. But it is so muchmore pleasant to consume a food prepared due to the cherished wife!

Lyudmila, 38 years:

&laquo;& laquo; When I remained in United States, I chose to prepare a borsch. My United States spouse eat a half of the dishas well as asked to produce something like that more often!&raquo;& raquo;

6. Russian lady is actually womanly as well as passionate.

Foreigners feature all the man’s sense alongside them. Communicating along withthem is easy and offers a considerable amount of pleasure. There is no demand to discover any kind of exclusive expressions in advance. Besides, slavic girls are actually taken into consideration being one of the absolute most zealous mistresses all around the globe! The reason is in blood and also attitude. That is actually why a lot of males contrast Russian women withEastern geishas.

7. Russian ladies can be unplanned.

When you carry out every thing depending on to the rigorous routine, everyday life comes to be dull. The unexpectedness weakens severe everyday program. Often she seems to be a mysterious book filled withpositive unpleasant surprises. As well as you prefer to review it everyday. Suchattribute creates a ru brides woman a lot more appealing and desirable! It is actually not required to schedule dating. And occasionally you might happen a go to without any planning. The only problem – you should be a desired attendee.

8. Russian gals are actually properly informed.

In add-on to fashion-magazines they read other literary works too. And they are actually truly interested in definitely various musicians as well as writers! Sometimes they go througheven in a social transportation.

We made an effort to illustrate the Russian lady in the method we see it as well as point of views of different individuals. Chance this will certainly assist you. The only thing: feel free to keep in mind that we don’t claim that all Russian females have the components defined above. Our experts state concerning the majority, not all Russian girls.

Across varietals and regions, Agrothermal Systems® proves that use of heat sets more berries per bunch.

Agrothermal customers participating in 2018 growing season fruit-set data collection saw a significant increase in fruit set across varietals. Thermaculture technology uses interval heat-treatments to raise the plant temperature to the levels needed for optimal fruit set and growth, even in cold, wet weather.

Red Varietals, including Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, realized an average 27% more berries set per bunch over control. Pinot Noir in particular rose a staggering 50%. White varietals, including Petite Mansang, Chardonnay and Viognier, achieved an average 12% increase, with Chardonnay standing out at 15% more berries per bunch.

Increase In Pinot Noir Berries Per Bunch

2018 Fruit Set Results for US Customers

Marty Fischer, CEO of Agrothermal Systems explains, “Thermaculture can briefly simulate good, hot, dry conditions when Mother Nature gives the grower wet and cool weather. This allows our customers to manage adverse climatic conditions to create better and more even fruit set .” Fischer continues, “Year over year we are consistently seeing proof of this with more berries on overall healthier bunches within our customers treated blocks.”

Data collection for 2018 was conducted in Southern & Northern California, Oregon and Virginia on 18 test and control blocks. Treatments began at or prior to bud break through verasion.

Virginia experienced a particularly challenging wet season, but Thermaculture, coupled with the Agroblow™ fans to blow standing water off vines prior to heat-treatments, was especially impactful. Daniel Mumbauer of Stone Tower Winery in Virginia commented, “We’re seeing great results from our Viognier…compounded with the fact that this is the worst year I’ve ever seen!”

Make Your Restaurant Business Grow

People at a RestaurantRunning a stable restaurant can feel both comfortable and satisfying, but if you want to make it big in the industry, you’ll need to keep expanding. Fortunately, it’s not difficult to find a financial lending company that will have your back once you have a well thought-out strategy. But securing the funding is just the initial part. ARF Financial recommends other ways to make your restaurant grow once you have the resources.

Post high-quality food photos online

You understand the potential of the Internet in building your business. If you are to entice new customers into your restaurant, you’ll need to have visual content of exceptional quality. Hire a professional to take great photos of scrumptious looking food to attract customers. Post the pictures on your website and social media outlets.

Invest in top-notch reception

What kind of impression are you making to your customers once they enter the front door? Hire a friendly waitperson to welcome them into your restaurant. Customers who get the best reception into your restaurant are likely to give positive reviews about their experience.

Keep your restaurant clean

There should never be a part of your restaurant that suggests a lack of hygiene. An unclean washroom, a floor that is not properly cleaned, or a grimy table can easily put off your customers. Your kitchen should be clean and safe.

Have a smart pricing strategy

Customers may love your food, but they’ll enjoy it more if they feel they are getting the best price for it. Ensure that you price your items in a more appealing way. For instance, instead of charging $5.10 for a meal, charge $4.90. You’ll get more customers returning to your restaurant.

Keep the quality of your service high

The quality of customer service will determine whether they visit your restaurant again or not. Train your staff to offer the best services they can. Insist on quick service, friendliness and the willingness to help among your employees.

Any restaurant can grow as long as the owner is committed to the process. Once you have identified potential areas you can upgrade, start working on them one by one and enjoy the ride as your business soars to the next level.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes and a Major Award

A few weeks ago S. saw an advertisement for an amateur photography competition at the library.  "You should enter it," he said, encouragingly.  I laughed, and thought little more of it, until he came home with registration forms.  "We'll both enter," he told me.  So I chose one of my favorite non-food photos, which S. enlarged, found a cheap frame at the local box store, and left the rest of the doing in S.'s capable hands, assured that I wasn't even in the running.

Today, I got a half slip of paper from the library, asking me to come accept my prize on Saturday the 16th at 1:30.  Apparently, I'm one of their winners!  (All I could think of was that scene from A Christmas Story, when the father gets news that he's won a "major award.")

Now, it could very well be that I'm the only person who entered a photo in my category, or that the other entries are terrible, or that I've won fifth prize, but still ... the idea of winning was, well ... exciting.  Someone else thinks my photographs--or at least one of them--is worth looking at!

Since the soup pictures have been less than beautiful recently (and, dear reader, there are more to come ... we are now hurtling headlong into soup season), I thought I'd post another "pretty" picture in honor of my win, which means baked goods!

I've already mentioned that the pumpkin is here ... and that I've bravely roasted ours, and am now dealing with the pulp.  It's interesting to me that in Australia it seems one mostly eats savory pumpkin dishes, not sweet ones. While I did make a curried pumpkin soup, too (fear not, my faithful Australian readers! that post will be coming soon, in your honor), the requests I got from the other residents of this house were mostly for baked goods.

Ian (wearing his poofy chef's hat, of course) helped me to make these, and I brought them to the class I'm teaching this semester, whom, I jokingly tell them, I am trying to bribe into giving me--and the course--good evaluations.  I don't think they take that seriously, but I will admit that there has been more than one comment about cupcakes (quantity, quality, flavor, etc.) on my teaching evaluations in the past.  Well, so be it ... when I was an impressionable graduate student at a not-so-small fairly-well-known university in California, my teaching evaluations included commentary on the shape of my eyebrows and need for a waxing.  Cupcakes are harmless, comparatively speaking.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

1 c. canned pumpkin
2 T. canola oil
2 heaping T. unsweetened applesauce
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. soymilk
1 t. vanilla
3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. ground cinnamon
1/4 t. salt
1/2 c. chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin or a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners and mist lightly with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin, oil, applesauce, sugar, soymilk, and vanilla.

Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gently mix together with a whisk, fork, or spatula. Once combined, fold in the chocolate chips.

Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.  Bake for 22-24 minutes for regular cupcakes. When done, let sit in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.  Frost as desired, either with (vegan or not) cream cheese frosting (my preference) or a cinnamon-powdered sugar glaze.

  1. Anything with cream cheese frosting is a winner! :-) Isn't it bizarre the things people put on evaluations sometimes? I know they can be boring to do, but seriously some people don't think that although it's a boring exercise for them there is a person at the other end of the evaluation. So cupcakes to give a focus for the the bored, thoughtless commenters is a good strategy.

    That photo is gorgeous - I love the texture and the shades of the wall and the splash of colour in the window. I love that it makes me think about being inside and looking out past that vase and through those flowers. I love the calm, rather orderly (but not antiseptic) feel of it. It looks like life, just as you'd want it to be. I just plain LOVE it and can certainly understand why you won!

  2. Congratulations on your win, how exciting! I think the photo is lovely - just like a dream country farm house.

    It's true about the pumpkin. We don't eat pumpkin desserts, as TasIVFer said previously. But these cupcakes look delish. :) Hmm, I wonder what other exciting recipes TasIVFer and I can tempt you in to. LOL.

    As for the evaluations,sadly that last tale rings all too true. Honestly, who would write such a thing on a teaching evaluation...sigh.

  3. They talked about your eye brows? People still amaze me. Congrats on the win, now you'll have to post the winning photo for us and mmmMMmmmmm those cupcakes look good.

  4. So do you get a lamp? Should we worry about Steve accidentally knocking it over with the Hoover?

  5. congratulations! your pics are very nice I must say... are you going to post the one that won?

  6. your posts are making this gluten-free girl SALIVATE!!! luckily, a few months ago, i found a gluten free bakery near my office, so at times like this, i just go running to pick up some sweets :o)

  7. BRAVO!!!! That is exciting (and really lovely photo, by the way!).
