Two potato and sweet corn soup with three different garnishes
I'm sitting amongst the chaos of toys and emails whilst I write this, with my thick cosy socks wrapping my feet and a blanket draped on my legs. I have always felt older than my years you know, always. Eyes a bit bleary and dates a-muddle, it all feels a bit disorderly.
In full sleeved attire and legs well and truly covered I felt a bit of chill as we walked to the pool this morning. I looked forward to sitting in the warm and shallow kid's pool, albeit with bedlam of squeals and splashing children swishing down the slide that sits in the pool. The pool is not large, so I chuckled that we sat in our costumes relatively close to each other and cooed at our own toddlers and infants but barely exchanged polite greetings towards each other. But it was nice to see so much love in that pool. My boy was happy, 'you not working in cookery class today, daddy's not here, but you're with ME'. I asked him if he was happy, 'yes, I love you mum, you stay with me'.
Amongst all the disarray of the last three and half years, this has happened. There is colour and some peace. And it tastes good.
I held a cookery class on Saturday and one on Sunday and my goodness they were at full capacity, in a gorgeous school in the city that I love (London, of course) and we had people frying, rolling spring rolls, making cashew nut cream…and we had smiles and fun. Can I tell you what I really came away with? A lady told me she was really proud of herself and she thought her curry was better than restaurant quality. Two women hugged and exchanged contact details as they left because they had connected so well. A couple fed each other and held hands because the class was their quality time together. A young pair of people flirted mildly (yes I noticed and sorry if you are reading this, but it was very sweet). A lady who was scared of frying made the best fusion style pakora. Everything ran to time. I was sent emails afterwards with thanks and professionals emailed me telling me that the class is 'exceptionally good'. I had a lady who had not cooked because her mother and sister were the queens of the kitchen but now she felt like she had dishes to serve her little boy and husband. A young man came away saying, 'now I can impress my mum'.
Things are beginning to make some sense.
My soup today tells this story. This recipe is inspired by a Columbian recipe for ajiaco and a harmony of deep, Autumnal soothing potatoes (both sweet and fluffy) in a stew-like soup with the promise of brightness with a fresh tomato salsa with coriander, light crème fraiche, and creamy green avocado. I wouldn't be me if I didn't spice it up a bit so I have included fennel seeds, cumin seeds and guajillo chillies for a smoky touch. I have also included some mock chicken but you could use tofu. All in all this becomes a healthful and balanced meal. I didn't need bread on the side; the soup is really filling, fresh and nourishing. With promise.
Ingredients to serve 4
For the soup
250g marabel potatoes (or other floury potato suitable for baking or mashing)
250g sweet potato
200g sweet corn (I used tinned)
One large leek, chopped into chunks
2 bay leaves
200g mock chicken/vegetarian chicken/soya chunks/tofu
1 ½ litres of good quality vegetable stock
3 spring onions
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp. cumin seeds
2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
1 tsp. fennel seeds
2 guajillo chillies
2 green chillies
2 tbsp. olive oil or butter
For the coriander and tomato salsa
200g ripe red tomatoes, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 spring onions cut into bite sized chunks
50g coriander, finely chopped
You will also need;
One large ripe avocado cut into slim wedges
4-8 tbsp. crème fraiche
- Lightly heat the olive oil or butter and then add the cumin seeds, fennel seeds, bay leaves and green chillies and once the seeds have started to sizzle stir in the marabel potatoes, garlic and spring onions and cook for a minute
- Pour in the vegetable stock and rice wine vinegar and bring the soup to a simmer before adding the guajillo chillies
- Simmer the soup for ten minutes before adding the leek, sweet corn and sweet potatoes and then cook for a further ten minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the salsa by combining the tomatoes, coriander, spring onions and garlic.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and dress them with the garnishes or let the diners do it themselves for added fun.
I am sharing this recipe with Lavendar and Lovage for the cooking with herbs challenge

Just a short addition to the many merits of the Magnum 'Ion-Mask' boots
On my last night shift I seemed to have become a vomit magnet. Two patients vomited over me (was it something I said?). Luckily the angle of the technicolour yawn meant that it was directed towards the earth. This resulted in a splash down on my boots! The aforementioned vomitus ran off the black leather like water off a ducks back. Marvellous!
A picture of diced carrots!
Only problem was the laces…which seemed to attract 'carrots', 'sultannas' and some other dubious looking material. My uniform trousers took most of the fallout from the patients adventurous stomach contents and had a habit of reactivating the pleasant aroma even after copious sponging down. (It was a very cold night and the vehicle heater was a double-edged sword!).
Just thought I'd let you know…carry on with your tea now. Â
Ps…no giraffes or carrots were harmed in the making of this post!

Nearly all of Vietnam's mangroves grow along coastlines in the Red and Mekong Deltas. But those in central Vietnam are mostly found in estuaries and lagoons. In 2010, Mangroves for the Future (MFF) awarded two small grants to Centre for Community Research and Development (CCRD) and Hue University of Agriculture and Forestry (HUAF) to conserve mangroves through improved community-based management in two lagoons in Thua-Thien-Hue and in Quang Nam respectively.
In 2009, MFF reviewed the results of five years of mangrove planting and conservation in Sri Lanka's estuaries and lagoons. A feature of the lagoons in both Vietnam and Sri Lanka is that they are micro-tidal, meaning that the difference between high and low tides in small, typically less than 1 meter. By comparison, the tidal difference in the Red and Mekong Deltas s 3-4 meters.
The small tidal range of most lagoons limits the area over which mangroves, which grow in the inter-tidal zone, occur naturally. Because currents inside the lagoon typically have a flow speed of less than 1 meter/second, sediment that is carried into the lagoon is not carried out to sea. Sediment deposition is accelerated whenever, as is often the case, the connection between the lagoon and the ocean is blocked or impeded, for example by a bridge or build up of garbage. These barriers also block the recruitment of early stages of fish and shrimp into the lagoon during the wet season, resulting in the loss of native species and the introduction of exotics.
Since some mangrove species, especially Rhizophora spp., trap sediment very effectively, planting mangroves in Sri Lanka's lagoons has often increased sedimentation and reduced the area of open water. In some cases, this has resulted in the collapse of the local fisheries and encouraged encroachment into the lagoon.
In 2011, MFF published the results of its analysis in a report entitled An Appraisal of Mangrove Management in Micro-tidal Estuaries and Lagoons in Sri Lanka. Following the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, when mangroves were seen as having reduced loss of life and property, there was substantial international funding for mangrove restoration in Sri Lanka. The report concludes that most of this work was "a completely inappropriate, futile exercise with possibly negative consequences," and that "it is necessary to move away from belief-based good intentions to science based procedures for ecosystem management."
The purpose of this note is to highlight recommendations relevant to the MFF-funded projects in Thua-Thien-Hue and Quang Nam. These include:
- Mangrove planting should be the last resort and only done where mangroves have existed before. The objective should be to connect the lagoon to the sea's tidal influences by removing barriers and permitting a more natural water flow. This will allow mangroves, which recover easily, to regenerate naturally and avoid the buildup of sediment in the lagoon and the consequent loss of fish habitat.
- Replanting should only be considered where natural regeneration is not possible (e.g., where seeds are no longer available). In India, MFF recommends a fish-bone "canal bank planting" system for mangrove restoration in low tidal amplitude areas.
- If mangroves are planted, it is vital to provide adequate post-planting care. Many planting projects in Sri Lanka lasted just six months. The report recommends a 10-year time-frame. In Sri Lanka, this means that the NGO or other implementing organization should focus on a small number of sites, enabling their staff to build solid relations with local communities and access the appropriate technical expertise.
- Pay attention to the protection of non-mangrove ecosystems. In Sri Lanka, recent research indicates that sea grass beds, submerged and rarely noticed, play a more important role in fisheries productivity than mangroves.
- The focus should on conserving the remaining mangroves rather than planting new ones. In Sri Lanka, as in Vietnam, mangroves are still being cleared for shrimp farming, settlement, tourism, and other purposes. Stopping further mangrove clearing must be the top priority.

So here's to you, Kim Kardashian.
Justin Bieber, the immaculately coiffed teen idol and the reality starlet frolicked in the Bahamas like a modern day Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft for an "Elle" magazine photo shoot, reports People.
"I just received the pics from the shoot and I absolutely LOVE how they turned out!" Kardashian wrote on her blog.
U.S. & World
"The theme of the shoot was 'The Graduate' for obvious reasons, LOL," she added.
In some released photos, the Canadian pop star lounges on a hotel balcony while Kardashian stands seductively nearby in a black bathing suit. In another picture, she's working out on an elliptical machine sporting seriously high heels while watching one of Bieber's videos on TV. And, it being the tropics, there are several shots of the two frolicking on the beach and in the surf.
"Justin and I had such a fun time together at the shoot," she wrote.
Kardashian, 29, and Bieber, 16, met in May at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. While there, Bieber snapped a picture of the two that he posted to Twitter with the caption, "Look its my girlfriend."
Almost immediately, Kardashian's Twitter account was bombarded with threats and screeds from broken hearted tween girls worldwide.
The "Baby" singer was forced to shoot off a tweet to calm the masses.
"Ladies calm down," he wrote. "(Kim Kardashian) is a friend. A very sexy friend but a friend. No need 4 threats. Let's all be friends and hang out often ;) "
The full spread appears in September, but if the relatively innocent shot from May drove the ladies crazy, Kardashian may want to flee the country before this issue hits the stands.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Presidential nominee Mitt Romney is getting a negative reaction from Republicans less than two weeks after losing the U.S. election to President Barack Obama.
His loss of support within the party accelerated this week after reports of his assertion in a telephone call to major donors that Obama won because of the "gifts" the president gave to minority groups, The Washington Post reported Friday.
That statement was quickly condemned not only by Democrats, but Republicans. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie Friday called Romney's comments "divisive," and inappropriate for someone who wanted to be a leader of the entire nation.
The remarks represent Romney's "blame and disregard" for voters, added newly elected Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo.
Romney came in for sharp criticism during the campaign when Mother Jones reported on his remarks at a gathering of supporters in Florida at which he said 47 percent of Americans considered themselves "victims."
Romney ran largely on his business experience, without a strong political base gained from years in politics, the Post noted. He had leaned toward a whiter, more rural and more conservative demographic for votes during the campaign, but got less than he had expected.
Regardless of the feelings of others within the GOP, Stuart Stevens, a Romney adviser, said Romney is still "the most popular Republican on the national scene at the moment."
Romney has found support from Obama, who said after the election he agreed with some of Romney's policies and hoped to bring him to the White House for consultation.

Texas Toe Jammin'
Boat Competition – Toe Jam Stop #2
Wake-to-Wake Texas Madness
New Braunfels, TX — 16 riders challenged today at the TSR in New Braunfels, Texas for the wake title at the Rockstar Cable Jam. The wake-to-wake event is always climactic, and today was no exception.
With Jack Blodgett at the helm of the custom Oakley wrapped MasterCraft X Star, the lines were tight and it was up to the riders to show what they've got on wakeskating's biggest stage.
Wake-to-wake shoves were a commonplace, mostly in the more respected non-grabbed fashion, with late shoves from Stu Shinn (backside), Reed Hansen (backside), Danny Hampson (frontside) and Brian Grubb (toeside and heelside frontside). Ross Gardner also made an impact today, stomping two wake-to-wake frontside big spins.
The field was narrowed down to a head-to-head final with heavy hitters Brian Grubb and Nick Taylor. Grubb left the dock first, and landed a nosegrab 360, toeside shove indy, backside 180 and melon body varial. Three falls ended his run before getting a chance to hit the double-up, leaving the door a bit open for Taylor. Suffering from some early technical miscues, Taylor cased the wake on his first few moves, possibly due to a different rope length than he was used to. He then made it a close race sticking a backside 360, toeside backside 180 and switch 360, then mistimed his double-up and landed in second place. Taylor apparently left a lot on the table, as he stuck a switch Madonna 360 on the way into the dock just for fun.
Grubb pulled a repeat as the boat champion at the Rockstar Cable Jam and proved that he is still at the top of the wake riding scene, now winning the title at eight of ten boat events in the Toe Jam history. "I wasn't sure if I did enough to win the final today, but it proves that every move counts. I don't want to leave the door open anymore, so I'm really looking forward to the rest of the boat events at the last two stops."
Saturday's action will begin at 10 a.m. with the Rockstar Cable Jam Final, showcasing the 16 qualified riders competing in one of the best cable parks in the world at the Texas Ski Ranch.
Rockstar Cable Jam Final Results
Toe Jam Stop Number Two
New Braunfels, TX – The world's best wakeskaters laid it on the line today at the TSR cable park to determine a champion at the Rockstar Cable Jam.
Decent conditions and perfect rails set the stage for many landmark moves thrown down including:
Kickflip / switch kickflip / huge backside 360 off TSR kicker – Nick Taylor
Backside big flip / 360 flip / Heelflip – Reed Hansen
Switch boardslide bigger spin / Rockstar Box – Brandon Thomas
Shove to front lip wallride – Bret Little
Kickflip (1st trick off dock) / big spin transfer / Oakley wallride – Andrew Pastura
Huge backside 360 / TSR kicker – Nick Taylor
360 flip / Stu Shinn (after the end of his run)
In the end, the final head-to-head battle consisted of Andrew Pastura and Nick Taylor, who both had an incredible runs in the semifinals with no falls, pushing competitive wakeskating ahead at a rapid pace. After the traditional coin toss with Scott Byerly and daughter Kirra, Taylor won and opted to ride second.
Pastura started out with authority, stomping a kickflip for his first trick, followed by a huge big spin transfer on the Oakley wallride, however he was not able to maintain the consistency of his semis run, falling three times and leaving the door slightly open. Taylor, who won the Rockstar Rail Jam in April, put together another complete run on his new Integrity pro model wakeskate, including a frontside flip, styie front lip wallride, huge shifty off the kicker, kickflip and a front lip big spin off the Rockstar box, sealing the victory.
This run capped off a stellar weekend of riding for Taylor, proving he is currently the heaviest hitter on the '08 Tour. "Having all the different obstacles at TSR is something that you won't find anywhere else," Taylor said. Every round, the riding got exponentially more intense. Andy Pastura blew minds this weekend, behind both the boat and cable." Taylor also reflected on his current success on the tour, "To be able to win one title is insane, but it's an honor to be able to win in two different disciplines. I have to thank Scott and Kim Byerly for everything they've done for me and the art of wakeskating. I'd also like to thank Integrity, O'Neill, Nike 6.0 and Oakley, plus my family and everyone at the island."
For their results today, Bret Little and Stu Shinn also earned an invite to The Byerly Toe Jam on September 18-20 in Orlando, Florida

Oxford Immunotec announces court decision
Oxford Immunotec Global, of Marlborough, a diagnostics company focused on developing and commercializing proprietary tests for the management of underserved immune-regulated conditions, announced a decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in the company's patent infringement lawsuit against Qiagen, Quest Diagnostics and Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings on the company's motion seeking to enjoin Qiagen from promoting its QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) product to new customers in the U.S. Although the court denied the company's motion because it believed the company was not likely to suffer irreparable harm from QFT-Plus during the few months remaining before trial, it found that the company was likely to prevail on the merits of its claims at trial and that Qiagen had not shown that it was likely to succeed on its subject matter, prior art or non-infringement objections. The court further noted that if the company "prevails at trial, it is likely that the infringing aspects of the QFT Plus will be permanently enjoined."
Marlborough Economic Development Corporation unveils branding plan
The Marlborough Economic Development Corporation hopes to brand the city of Marlborough as a destination and prioritize the development of its downtown area over the coming years. These are among an extensive list of the organization's long-term strategic goals, which were formulated during a brainstorming session with city leaders back in May. For the first time, MEDC executive director Meredith Harris recently shared the list with a record crowd of about 90 local business and community leaders, who had gathered for the organization's 11th annual Founders Reception at the Special Olympics Massachusetts headquarters in Marlborough. Harris outlined the MEDC's goals for the downtown area, which include attracting modern amenities like brewpubs, wine bars and coffee houses; hosting more family-friendly events and festivals; encouraging a variety of unique uses for existing buildings; incentivizing façade improvements and beautification; and engaging and working closely with local landlords. To improve Marlborough's brand and make the city more attractive to visitors, potential residents and people who work at local companies, the MEDC also hopes to put its future efforts towards promoting Marlborough's redevelopment opportunities, including the Walker Building and the city's airport; revitalizing Marlborough's French Hill area and Lincoln Street; attracting trendy retail and restaurants for the city's growing young population; and improving the city's overall connectivity and walkability. In 2014, the MEDC led the downtown area rezoning efforts which allowed for brewpubs, music recording studios and other new building uses by-right. This year, the MEDC led a successful campaign to attract Marlborough's first microbrewery, Walden Woods Brewing, to the city's downtown area. In July, the MEDC also launched an amenities funding program, as part of its existing suite of financial incentives, to help attract more amenity-type businesses to service the community.
Sevcon announces acquisition approval
Sevcon, of Southborough, recently announced that its stockholders overwhelmingly approved the proposed acquisition of Sevcon by BorgWarner Inc. at the Special Meeting of Stockholders held on Sept. 22. Holders of more than 99 percent of Sevcon's common stock present at the meeting voted in favor of approving and adopting the merger agreement, and holders of more than 95 percent of each of Sevcon's common stock and series A convertible preferred stock present at the meeting voted in favor of a charter amendment to confirm the consideration to be paid to preferred stockholders in the merger. Subject to satisfaction or waiver of all other conditions, the closing of the acquisition is expected to occur on or about Sept. 27. Upon the closing, BorgWarner would acquire all of the outstanding shares of Sevcon's common stock for $22 per share in cash and all of the outstanding shares of Sevcon's Series A convertible preferred stock for a price per share on an as-converted basis equal to the common stock, $66, together with payment of accrued and unpaid dividends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
Unfortunately no, this device has an intended source and an intended destination. Refer to the title of the webpage for this order.
This is an active video signal converter.
A passive video signal converter changes the type of connection that is being used but does not change the signal that passes through the converter. Because the video signal is not modified, passive converters tend to be smaller, simpler, and less expensive than active video signal converters. Examples of passive converters include DVI-I to VGA, HDMI to DVI, and DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort converters.
An active video signal converter modifies both the type of connection that is being used and the signal that passes through the converter. Because this type of conversion can be complex, active converters tend to be larger than passive video signal converters and sometimes require additional power. Examples of active converters include DVI-D to VGA, HDMI to DisplayPort, and VGA to HDMI converters.
For more information about passive and active DisplayPort video signal converters, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/DisplayPort_Converter_DP_Multi_Mode.
For more information about which type of video signal converter you should use when you convert video signals with an MST hub, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/mst_hubs_passive_vs_active_adapters.
This device is plug and play. It does not use any drivers, and does not require any setup tasks other than plugging in the source (for example, a computer) and the destination (for example, a monitor).
When you troubleshoot issues with a video adapter, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video cables
Video adapter
Video source (such as a DVD player or computer)
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the cable, video adapter, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different cable, video adapter, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Remove the video adapter from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the video adapter.
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, adapter, and destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
Try the following:
- Check that the monitor's video port works with another source.
- Check that the cables between the source and the destination work with other equipment.
- Check whether the video adapter works with another source and another destination.
The error "Out of Range" normally means that the resolution being output by the computer is not compatible with the display. Try lowering the resolution to see if that helps resolve the issue. You may need to connect another monitor or restart the computer or source to accomplish this.

Neighbourhood watch
August 25, 2011, 05:08:51 pm »
A handful of teammates is a good thing to have when facing a crowd of zombies, but you don't have your perfect zombie fighting squad by your side at all times.
It would be a good ideas for neighbours (and perhaps coworkers) to be allies, and not competitors, if they find themselves surrounded by the undead together, and unless you are also good friends, this won't happen without planning ahead.
What would you involve your neighbours in when devising your zombie survival plan? (assume that your neighbours all also wants to plan for zombies)
- Mutual rescue:
Of course, you have each other's phone number, but in case the phone stops working, you need a quick and efficient means of warning each other. A siren and beacon to draw attention, then messages posted at the window can do. If you wake up in the morning and a zombie is clawing at your bedroom window, you may want to know whether there are twenty more clawing at the walls before you do anything. That's something best checked at some distance. The neighbour can also be in better position to kill a zombie than you.
- Shelter:
Having to survive for a long period of time on limited supplies would make anybody anxious about sharing them. But if your house burns down, staying at your neighbour's for a few days and sharing his food is probably the only way you can survive at all. Better having previously agreed on the conditions: how many days you have to find a new place before moving out, how many meals, and what you can give in return if you need to stay longer (since you have to scout to find a new house anyway, you can salvage some useful items for him on your way)
- Land and space:
Inhabitants of an appartment building can make sure the whole building is a safe zone. Some backyards are almost sealed up between houses and would only need short lengths to be fenced to be secure. This all requires prior preparation. Either build the fences in advance, or have the maretial at hand. Make sure most of the gardens are used for edibles, plant fruit trees now so they're mature when the apocalypse comes. Same goes for a roof greenhouse on an appartment building: start nagging the landlord now, because you'll need the thing working and your vegetables in any state but "seed" when you can't just go buy food anymore.
- Trading and sharing:
There are some things that you might need in a zombie apocalypse, that won't be missing if you share them, and that you don't need before it. Mostly tools, which last long even if multiple people use them. Make sure the neighbourhood group has one of each important one, then you can move them around. Think about a laundry board: you probably don't want one now, but if there was no more electricity, it would be useful again.
Services as well: better have one doctor and one botanist than two doctors. Make a list of the available people's skills and how they complement each other, and prepare knowing what you'll need to learn and/or compensate for.
- Euthanasia:
You need to know who is willing to finish you off or not. I'm not just talking about shooting you if a zombie bit you, but also if you have a severe enough injury or sickness. If you go out to hunt a sheep that wandered in from a farm nearby and your buddy shoots you in the stomach by accident, you want to know he'll have the guts to finish you off if you ask him, rather than leaving you behind to bleed to death in horrible pain.

I...I think I'd rather know who is competent enough to not accidentally shoot me than if they have the cajones to finish the job.
Joking aside, where do I find neighbors cool enough to work out a zombie plan with?
Did I say "joking aside"? I'm such a terrible liar.
I have some not so terrific things to say about my neighbors. Except for a single neighbor of mine, they all lack either common sense or a basic amount of consideration for the people around them; I probably would be better off in a group, but I wouldn't be very happy about it if they were it.

I have tried to get my friends in on my zombie outbreak plan but they all think I am insane for how dedicated I am to it. They also have stupid ideas like going on killing spree's with the non-existant guns that we have.
I have no idea who my neighbours are and it would be kinda weird if I rocked up at their house and was like "So how about them zombie fighting plans? You got any?"

I'd rather kill my one set of neighbors, I hate them so much. The other neighbor is an 80 something year old woman...
Seriously though, if it came down to it, I'd join in a kind of watch for my little hamlet of civilization.
All of time and space, anywhere and everywhere, any star that ever was. Where do you want to start?

Glasgow Caledonian University
|Glasgow Caledonian University
University logo
|Just do this and then you'll be done
|1875 or 1992
|School type
|Commercial trust of stooges
|That woman
|Townhead, Glasgow, Scotland
|(number of students)*103,419
(number of graduates)*59,356
Glasgow Caledonian University, or "The Ghetto" as it's known by the friendly inhabitants of the Townhead. The University, officially founded in 1992 has endeavored to cast of its roots and enter the 21st century in style with vast investment in gimmicky staff, reducing funding for supplies like self issue machines in the library and massive allocation for product placement throughout the campus. It also allows inferior Universities to outsource their problems on the campus, such as lack of faculties at Strathclyde or second rate students from Glasgow University
The entry requirements are subject to course. Glasgow Caledonian University is at the worlds forefront in research, particularly that of Health
The Campus[edit]
"At least I don't have hang around with the Riff Raff of Glasgow Caledonian University"
There's very little, they put a fairly large Can of Baked Beans called 'The Satire Centre' (See Below) up to lure prospective students, mostly though it's just Porter Cabins or old Arms Silos that have been converted to teaching rooms; there is a library behind the giant Baked Beans but it's usually packed full of students and unidentifiable lifeforms and is a most terrible place to be.
There's the Refectory in a pebble dashed Porter Cabin and a Student union with two Bars that no one uses; typical Caley students bring their own booze like Buckie to get smashed on throughout the day
On Campus there's also a Gym that once again is used by nearly everybody but the students who are usually too drunk to use it, or possibly too fat or too lazy, generally the latter fuels a culture that fuels the former.
The University was established in 1875 as the Glasgow School of Cookery and to this day remains the leading university for research into tatty scones and Deep-fried Mars Bars.
The Glasgow School of Cookery merged with Glasgow Polytechnic in 1992 to form the Glasgow Caledonian University we all know and love today.
The aim of the new university was to offer easy-to-understand, straight out of the packet, instant education and training to the niche market of students unqualified to attend the University of Glasgow due to its colossal entry requirements (at the time, one higher D). It sought to collaborate with commercial and industrial organisations and other providers of burgers and fries.
Saltire Centre[edit]
A massive amount of money crooned from the obscene product placement throughout the University went toward making an obsolete library with stencils and other useless gimicks to lure investors and prospective students. To access the fine new building there's a giant can of Baked Beans with a stairwell fitted. In no way could this construction be viewed as helping the low inroads the University makes in the league tables.
"It's nice to see the ill educated youth kept away from their betters"
Departments and Faculties[edit]
The university had a cryptic system as to the nature of Departments and Faculties; this as of 2005 has been reformed to three easily understandable formats which are:
- Soft Courses: Nursing (vomit mopping), Podiatry (foot feeling)
- Really Soft: Business (soft Economics) Computing (Computer games)
All three Course options are available within the Business School and the Medical schools and other as yet unknown Faculties
"Only slightly better than airplane food, but at least I didn't get a bout of the shits!"
A most wonderful trough, voted Glasgow's finest Trough, ideal to flee from Neds and see yet more product placement at the University; there are also security guards to see that you don't steal any cutlery; they'll just set aboot ya if you try.
The Cuisine is broad and at GCU Refectory you can expect to enjoy terrible food from around the globe; from the Fish and Chips Slough style to a Curry Brummi style.
Continuing investment will hopefully one day that eating at the university will not mean the difficulties of finding doctors and dentists to repair the damage done to students by the refectory; Product placement in exams has been the deans prescription for the matter, god bless her.

Have a super week! SusieQTpies
I am so bookmarking that duck and beef with broccoli. Thanks for that.ReplyDelete
Cooking is love. End of story. Thanks for hosting!ReplyDelete
I think I'll come for dinner on Tuesday (healthy and yummy) or maybe Friday...not so healthy, but I can eat healthy at home. When do you eat the leftovers?? I am trying to eat healthier when I'm at home. I find that I gain weight these days when we travel (which is more than it used to be) because restaurant food is so salty and interesting (as you know, I'm a foodie too). So, it has been a month of baked chicken and lots of fruits and veggies around here. I miss cooking interesting things, but most of my best recipes have either butter, chocolate, sugar or cheese!ReplyDelete
I usually don't cook large amounts. Or if it is something like soup, we eat it for lunches.Delete

Drinking Water
While many people today are concerned about drinking water quality, not everyone is sure whether they really need a water treatment system or how to choose one.
Good drinking water quality is something that many of us take for granted. Because water quality can vary depending upon where you live, it's important to know where your drinking water supply comes from and if it contains any impurities that could pose a health risk.
Whether you want to learn more about choosing a water treatment system, find out where you can get information about your tap water quality or discover what you can do to protect the quality of your drinking water supply, NSF can help.

Sure Apple won that lawsuit vs Samsung here in the U.s., but in German courts?? Well, in Germany Samsung and Motorola are victorious and Apple is found to have infringed on patents held by Samsung and Motorola.
What's more is the German ruling follows court findings in Britain and in the Netherlands taking the same positions: Apple infringed on patents and Samsung (and Motorola) were victorious.
This is a world-wide battle so look for more.
October 22nd:
Did you see this? UK court overturns Apple victory over Samsung, ruling that Samsung is not "cool" enough to copy Apple!!??!!
Now, having lost the court verdict, Apple is requied to run advertisements on its website and in newspapers saying that Samsung did NOT COPY Apple. WOW!
So here in the U.S. the courts have initially deterrmined that Samsung copied Apple and now in the UK Apple has to run apologies for saying that they did. Amazing.
"Apple has lost an appeal against a ruling in a U.K. High Court that Samsung's Galaxy Tab does not infringe the iPad's design. The original ruling by Judge Colin Birss said Samsung's tablets were not cool enough to be confused with Apple's because they lacked the "extreme simplicity" of the iPad. That ruling has now been upheld by the Court of Appeal.
The original ruling also stated that Apple must run adverts on its website and in newspaper saying Samsung did not copy the iPad. Reuters reports that the Court of Appeal's Judge Kitchin said today the notices must be in a font size no smaller than Ariel 14."
Stay tuned cuz they ain't over as we all know. The UK suit has no whee to go, that was a ruling from the high court, the top of the wig-wearing courts.
And, technically it has nothing to do with U.S. court decisions, but still…
Read all about this stumming development HERE.
October 26th:
Win or lose doesn't seem to impact Samsung as the company records their record profits in 3Q. Sammy is making more money than anybody every quarter. Apple may have stock that is more valuable than anyone else, but Samsung is making money just by turning around and by getting out of bed each morning.
June 5, 2013
The ITC, (International Trade Commission), a U.S. Trade Agency ruled in favor of Samsung yesterday. If upheld, Apple will be unable to import iPhones and a variant of the iPad into the U.S.
The ruling applies to the iPhone 4 and to the iPad 2. Check it out
At the same time Apple announced that it would increase hiring in the U.S., adding another 50% to their Silicone Valley workforce in the San Francisco Bay Area. Wonder what they may be planning.
Apple will appeal.

Another response to James.
I was going to respond a couple of nights ago, but then my response ended up being half a dissertation and I saved it as a draft at my blog instead. Sometimes being able to easily jump from box to box means that you're less likely to stay in one to make a, um, concerted point.
I guess that's always the problem with authoritative statements about something relative–they turn back on themselves. But the nice thing about that is that it means you know you're getting to the limits of the box and have to step out of it to see it from a different vantage point.
See, the other reason I didn't respond was because of this:
To really live your life like that– not just adopt such a position in a drunken argument at a loud party– I think would be quite difficult.
Because I seriously starting thinking about all the performance art, phonetic poetry, noise music, experimental film/video, sound installations, multi-media performances, etc, etc…ad nauseum that I've been doing the past ten years and realized how easy it is to fall into the box that lets you talk about (i.e. critique) post-modernity without actually having lived it.
It always tickles me when reading academic (or pseudo-academic) pomo crit of things–to go back to the idea of "Death-of-the-author-as-result-of-Western-Critical-mindset"–because those types of text just bring to mind the cliched armchair critic that wouldn't likely know the first thing about doing some of the activities that are the object of his criticism.
See, there's a common saying in Thailand: "Kohn roo mai poot; kohn poot mai roo" (and this is actually just a restatement from the Daode jing), that translates (quite straightforwardly) as "The one who knows doesn't speak; the one who speaks doesn't know." Timothy Hoare, in his book about the Thai dance-drama form Khon, writes about the phrase for some length (and yeah, it is ironic that he writes about it at all):
Even in the Thai language, reliable literary works on Khon are minimal, for the discursive habit of producing meticulous documentation that is grounded in a long and careful process of research has simply not been a traditional aspect of the Thai academic/historical consciousness. Appropriately, Khon provides us with a prime example of how this is so. In Thai education overall, the familiar euphemism, "Those who can't do, teach," has no meaning. Quite the contrary in the case of Khon, a teacher of Khon is an accomplished practitioner of Khon. He/she is respected for his/her ability, experience and knowledge as a performer and living vessel of the tradition, not as a "scholar" in the Western sense of the term.
Consequently, if it is deemed necessary for an arts institution to compile and publish a new text under its own authority, it is usually not the teacher–the one with expertise–who is commisioned to author it, but someone from "the outside,"…who knows the artform as "a layperson." The result is usaully sketchy, sometimes inaccurate and, at best, suitable for the tourist who wants nothing more than a superficial treatment.
Setting aside some of the Orientalisms in the quote I gave, there's a Buddhist saying, "mistaking the finger that is pointing at the moon for the moon itself," that captures the idea that Hoare is stating rather succinctly.
I especially love reading critiques of Asian cinema, particularly "martial arts" flicks. Since a number of comics bloggers had so much to say about Ron Rosenbaum's anti-Kill Bill/Sin City piece a while back, I'll use it as an example (with some Saidean interpretive glosses in brackets):
Or maybe you were too busy laughing yourself silly over the single most ridiculous beard in the history of cinema [which just happens to be precisely one of the types of hu hsu ("beards") as it has appeared in decades of Chinese Cinema and centuries in traditional Chinese Opera], the one on "Master Pai Mei," who we're supposed to believe is the ultimate extra-special, wise-beyond-Yoda spiritual warrior [because obviously the wu lao sheng character, as expertly performed by Gordon Liu, in traditional Chinese Opera and Chinese wuxia pian Cinema warrants immediate derision and dismissal]. You know, the laughable Orientalist caricature [because surely Ron knows a "real Oriental character" from a "laughable Orientalist caricature"] who teaches Uma Thurman the super-secret, way-forbidden "Exploding Heart" punch with which she finally kills Bill?
Point is, each and every movement (not just the spoken text) that Gordon Liu performed has a meaning. Each and every piece of clothing and the beard and hairstyle that Gordon Liu sports have meanings. Even each specific movement of the beard that Gordon Liu performs has a meaning. But most of that is lost on an audience unfamiliar with the ersatz language of Chinese cinema and Chinese Opera.
But the dismissiveness and derision that is relatively commonplace in criticisms of either Asian MA films or films inspired and heavily borrowing from Asian MA film conventions iare premised on a box that doesn't have nearly as much to do about the genres as some would like to believe. Would we criticize a composition in Sign Language like this? Would we say that "talkies" are just an adult version of or reference to infant's "babble-talk?" I'm still actually surprised that I haven't come across a review of Kill Bill that mentions the fact that Beatrix doesn't actually kill anyone in vol. 2.
I don't think it's at all controversial to state that kung fu flicks rely heavily on Chinese Opera traditions and conventions (hell, even Chinese comics do), but the "Death of the Author" idea is just one aspect of what I'm coming to call textually driven criticism.
See–this is also why I didn't post before–going off on tangents are so much easier when you're used to jumping boxes.
Dave Fiore is fun, even when he's going off into what linguist, Ray Jackendoff, calls the "Western bias of non-linguistic" thought. "We don't know something until we try to say it." "We communicate stories through narratives." (my bad paraphrases of things Dave has stated). It doesn't seem like many people realize how fuzzy the boundaries between different forms of communication or human interaction can be while they are [ironically] stating, unequivocably, that language is ambiguous.
What's the difference between music and languages that use lexical tones to differentiate between meanings?
What's the difference between the highly formalized gestures of Asian dance-dramas and the gestures of Sign Language?
What's the difference between writing visual graphemes (i.e. "text") and drawing visual logographs, pictographs, comics, or writing mathematical ideograms, and musical notation?
I've always said (partly because it's so damn clever) that the last person you ask about a piece of art is the guy what made it. In truth, what he has to say about a work in question may be interesting, but I don't have to believe him if I don't want to.
See, that's where textually driven criticsm has gotten in the way of the idea of an intentional object. Why does intention have to be bound in what an author says about her work? Why can it not be bound in the work itself? In other words–going back to mistaking the finger pointing for the moon itself–an author that makes a statement about her intention of a work is already different a different matter than the actual intention that the work itself was meant to communicate. If you say (or rather type) to me:
(A) "You're an ass!"
and then
(B) explain to me:
"What I intended by (A) is (C)."
What seems to be really going on here is that (C) is your interpretation of (A) "You're an ass!"
(C) is pointing to (A) like the finger to the moon. An author's intention need not be considered unrecoverable when all we're doing is looking at an author's comment (C) about (A). Look at (A) if you want to find the intention.
The "perfect" act of communication I mentioned in that other comment is precisely the utterance of (A), not the explanation (B) or the "interpretation" (C).
I don't think statements in the form of "all acts of communication have a diffusive quality" at all gets close to articulating these types of differences that I'm making. Indeed, these types of statements are constructed from within a box that makes them very improbable (or at least unacceptable). Obviously, critics can just reject my box, or any other box for that matter just as they can reject Chinese jingju conventions and talk about the laughable beard of Pai Mei, or just call people "stupid fucks" for that matter. Doesn't change the [provisional] fact that these critics can't make (or choose not to make) distinctions that others can.
This is sort of what I meant by choosing to acquire the skill to play the Dvořák Cello Concerto rather than implicitly blaming the piece (or the composer/author) for it's "essential" difficulty. The Dvořák's purported "difficulty" is just the reader's commentary on her own relation to the text. In other words:
She be explainin' (or (B)) through (C) her relationship to (A) rather than changing her relationship to (A) by acquiring skill.
I guess that's also another Buddhist aspect of one of my boxes–the "Nagarjunian" idea of upaya-kausalya ("skillfull means"), that is. Damn me for being raised Theravada Buddhist I suppose.
Don't ask the person, because he'll just give you an interpretation of his intention. The actual intention is bound up in the "utterance" of the intentional object–which can also be some type of performative act like a statement. In other words, Kohn roo mai poot; kohn poot mai roo na krop.
That last makes a sort of sense given this context, since we're basically analyzing and criticizing criticism after all. And by all means, more pics of guys in lingerie!
*note that this is a very abbreviated/cut-n-pasted version of the comment I was going to post. Maybe you'll be thankful for this fact after you've read through my self-indulgent post. heh.

Theatrette or Photo Studio?
No more men and women in white coats as Peppermint Magazine takes over the Theatrette.
Our Theatrette - home to lectures, demonstrations and staff meetings since 1910 - was filled with models and make-up artists today. Tweed jackets, corduroy pants and white coats were banned when Peppermint magazine seized the floor for Fashion Less Waste.
Photographer Rachel Manns called the shots (and took them) as models displayed a selection of outfits from the finalists of the 2011 Fashion Less Waste challenge (which included a brief to take inspiration from our latest exhibition, Rituals of Seduction: Birds of Paradise.)
Judges made their awards based on originality, style (incorporating elements/motifs from bird of paradise), proportion of materials originally used for a non-clothing purpose and craftsmanship.
The prize-winning entries in the two categories "Open" and 'Secondary School" will go on public display at the Museum this month (July 2011) and at Reverse Garbage in Taylor Square, Sydney in August.

Following character posters for Viggo Mortensen and Tom Sturridge, three more posters from the upcoming adaptation of On the Road have been released. We get a look at Amy Adams, Elizabeth Moss, and Alice Braga in the long-awaited feature film version of Jack Kerouac's classic novel. I was quite impressed by the first trailer for the film, and I'm encouraged by The Motorcycle Diaries director Walter Salles behind the camera. I think this character poster idea is quite nifty, and these three make a nice addition to the set.
Hit the jump to check Peggy Olsen getting her Kerouac on. The film also stars Kristen Stewart, Sam Riley, Kirsten Dunst, and Danny Morgan.
Posters via Facebook.
Here's the synopsis for On the Road:
After the death of his father, Sal Paradise, an aspiring New York writer, meets Dean Moriarty, a wild and infectiously charismatic ex-con. They hit it off immediately. Determined to avoid the pitfalls of a narrow, prescribed life, Sal hits the road, joining Dean on what evolves into a life-changing physical and emotional odyssey. Thirsting for freedom, they discover the world, the ecstasy of experience, the connectedness of humanity and ultimately themselves.

Stubbs down 0-2. Not hard to figure how this at-bat is going to end. Anddddd it does. Strike three swinging down and away.
Stubbs could use a couple of days off.
Joe DiMaggio, he is not.

Stubby booed pretty hard by Cincy standards after that AB.
This place use to be fun
And Thom states "he is a lightning rod for the fans here. You can here the boos"
Yep. Six K's in a row does not merit many cheers.
Marty is pining for Bruce to move to CF and Frazier to RF when Votto comes back.
I seem to remember Votto. First baseman, right?
Man. I wouldn't hesitate to hit for Stubbs if he comes up in a big situation in his next AB.
Looking pretty rough up there right now. Garcias change is eating him alive today.
This will not change until the Reds win the World Series.......

But I agree, and have said for some time, that I don't understand while Drew plays so much. He has so many PAs every year which his bat doesn't warrant.
I've got some issues with Heisey too, but I agree if the Reds keep Stubbs next year they need a partner for him in CF to play a bunch of games.

Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the United Nation's New York City headquarters on Monday revealed Israel's true intentions to liquidate the Palestinian cause and its attempt to circumvent it by calling for the normalization of relations with Arab countries while outright ignoring the Palestinian issue, according to Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, Secretary General of the Palestinian Initiative.
At a press conference in Ramallah Monday evening Barghouti said that Netanyahu's "fascist, aggressive and fierce" speech was "full of lies and fabrications and an attempt to mislead." He added that Netanyahu had blatantly ignored the Palestinian issue as a whole, completely rejecting Israel's withdrawal from the occupied Palestinian territories and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
Barghouti added that Netanyahu's speech attempted to do away with the humanitarian values of the Palestinian people, and instead tried to rebrand them as another version of the Islamic State militants currently reaping havoc across much of Iraq and Syria. In drawing connections between Hamas and Islamic State militants, Barghouti argued, Netanyahu attempted "to justify the war crimes committed by the [Israeli] army" in the Gaza Strip throughout this summer's Operation Protective Edge.
Barghouti said that Netanyahu's blatant regard for human rights and the jurisdiction of the UN Human Rights Council was a clear sign of Israel's growing international isolation. He said that the State of Israel was quickly heading toward a fate similar to that of the apartheid regime in South Africa.
Barghouti argued Netanyahu's attempts to flirt with some of the Arab regimes, pitting them against the Palestinians and other regional powers, reveal the deeply set racism within the Israeli government.
Netanyahu's speech on Monday "fired a bulled into the recent so-called death march of negotiations and the overall approach set forth within the Oslo Agreements," Barghouti said. He stressed Israel clearly does not accept the Palestinians' right to freedom or the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
The speech, according to Barghouti, made three things clear:
"Despite the disgusting, fascist nature of Netanyahu's speech, it was useful because it redefined the full of picture of Israel and the nature of the challenges facing the Palestinian people, and the importance of our collective struggle for freedom, justice, and human rights of the Palestinian people," said Barghouti in his closing remarks.

Three things that helped me understand the early Cold War were Slumdog Millionare, The Man Who Stayed Behind, and I Chose China.
One thing the Communists were really good at, when they took over a
country, is giving a lower-middle-class lifestyle to almost everyone,
and keeping it there. In economies that could have integrated with
the west (Cuba, East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, even
North Korea) this was really bad. In economies that started out
tremendously, and bitterly poor (the Soviet Union and China) this
wasn't necessarily a bad deal.
I think India now is what China would have been if the KMT had won the
civil war. More-or-less western government tend not to go crazy, so
no cultural revolution, no great disruption, etc. But Communists
countries tend to do far more for the extreme poor, so you get
gigantic slums like in Bombay which simply do not exist in China.

Summary and Keywords
The Autonomous Department of Press and Publicity (DAPP) created by Lazaro Cardenas's administration responded to the need for a fixed ideological framework that would allow for the construction of a modern, prosperous, and politically unified nation based on the Six-Year Plan. The materials produced by the DAPP designated collective identities; defined relations between the government and its enemies, rivals and allies; preserved and molded past memories, and sought to project fears and hopes into the future. The department used a variety of mass media technology to produce messages with the aim of controlling criticism of the regime, shaping public attitudes, generating a collective "us," and effecting change in the thoughts and actions of the public. The continuous use of the media was a response of the Cardenista administration to the constant rejection that its public policies generated, either because they affected particular economic interests or because they were considered as an affront to the way of thinking of various social sectors, particularly those identified with Catholicism. President Cárdenas and his associates perceived that they were a besieged and criticized administration, both inside and outside the country. Hence, they deemed it essential to start up a strong propaganda apparatus in order to reverse the opposition and generate supporters. Its creation is framed by the efforts taken by various governments during the 1930s that viewed propaganda as an effective tool for producing political consensus, generating feelings of national unity, and changing public habits.
Keywords: propaganda, Lázaro Cárdenas, mass media, radio, film, press, posters, propaganda ministries

I have come across the following Canadian websites, blogs, Facebook, and newspaper articles this past week that were of interest to me, and I thought you might be interested in them, too –
There were no new/improved websites this past week.
ActiveHistory.ca (History Matters) http://activehistory.ca This is a blog that has the latest news about people and places in Canadian history.
The Armchair Genealogist, Lynn Palermo, www.thearmchairgenealogist.com, has written an e-book called The Complete Guide to The Family History Interview, and she talks about it in a post entitled, "The Timid Family Historian". This free e-book is available as a download on her site.
