In Norway, we fill this cake often with, raspberry jam, homemade vanilla cream, and a light not-over-the-top too sweet whipped cream, and layers filled with fresh fruit, like strawberries, raspberries, and bananas. Norwegian often, add some orange juice to the cake layers before you add the filling to moisten the cake more.
This sponge cake is made without any →baking powder or →baking soda, it gets its rise from whipping the eggs triple in volume, and combining the dry ingredients gently.
If you feel you get a better rise from baking powder you can use →1/4 tsp. baking powder for each egg, it is not necessary for this recipe I don't use baking powder but I know a lot of you have a problem getting a rise; that said, if you are not carefully blending in the dry ingredients even when you use baking powder you won't get a rise anyway, read my Notes below!
If your cake does not rise probably; make sure that you combine the flour by hand and not with a mixer, as you will knock the air out of the cake, and it won´t rise in the oven.
Also never open the oven door for at least 20 minutes, as your cake will fall, and become flat.
If your cake sinks in the middle, you probably have baked it to little, each oven is so different so always check with a cake tester.
*NEED TO CONVERT GRAMS INTO CUPS; USE THIS CONVERTER.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease the bottom of three 8– inch (20 cm) round cake pans and line with parchment paper; Or if you prefer you can use an 8-inch spring-form pan line bottom with parchment paper and spray.
In a medium bowl, sift the flour and cornstarch or if you use potato starch, and set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs and sugar on low-medium speed for 1 minute.
Increase the speed to medium, and continue beating for 5 minutes.
Add water or buttermilk and beat for another 1-5 minutes on medium-high speed.
Add vanilla bean paste, and beat for one minute more.
The batter should be very thick. When the whisk is lifted, the batter should ribbon from it back into the batter in the bowl.
Pour the batter into a large wide bowl.
Sift in half the flour mixture. Use a large silicone spatula to stir and fold until only a few streaks of flour are visible.
it is important to not deflate the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan or pans using a spatula to distribute batter evenly.
Let the cakes cool in the pan on wire racks for 10 minutes.
Use a knife to loosen the sides of the cakes and carefully turn them onto wire racks. Peel off the parchment paper and let cool completely.
If you baked this cake in one springform, Cut the cake into 3 even layers and fill the cake with anything you love.

Looks yummy! Might have to surprise my sister, Michele Mehlen, or the boys next time they come visit us from Norway!
With this cake, if baking in 3 tins, 2 on middle shelf, the 3rd tin on a lower shelf? And if it doesnt bake in same amount of time, is it best to move it up to middle shelf when i take the other tins out, or allow it to continue baking on the lower shelf?
hi Aneesa, all my cakes if not written otherwise, are baked in the middle of the oven, so you need to bake 2 first and then the other,!
I absolutely adore your recipes, they are fabulous!
Could you please, kindly confirm the amount of cornstarch required when baking three separate sponges, as your recipe above states: 8+?
Hi Terri Sift the CORN STARCH, OR POTATO STARCH, if you are using that!
I usually use potato starch in this recipe, but put maizena today by mistake. Someone told me that the result will be a dry cake, is that true? And how can I fix that? This cake is really important!! Have your tried both starch, and have you noticed difference? Your expert opinion may calm me down.
Looking forward to your answer!!!
Which recipe do I use for the mini cakes? I so want to try the mini princess cakes! So beautiful!!
Hi Manuela! This looks great! Can I make this into a chocolate cake? Would I just add cocoa powder? And substitute some of the buttermilk for coffee? Do you know what I would have to cut out for the cocoa? Sugar?
Would this cake be ok if it's kept the fridge/freezer, or would it affect it's texture at all when it's thawed?
Hi Manuela, am a new fan, I adore everything, from your color scheme, all your utensils to your kitchen, and Equipment,to recipes …everything.
Now, if am not using vanilla paste, how much vanilla extract should I use?
Thanks, I shop from all over the world, use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla sugar!
I would like to know how long this cake stays fresh for? And can I make this cake 2 days before it is eaten?
I want to make a higher cake with 4 layers of cake. Can I use a smaller form (20-22 cm) and then cut it in 4 pieces, would it still still nice? And should I still bake it in one piece or make 2 separate sponges? And then cut them in 2. I am afraid that the dough will be raw in the middle if it's too high and baked in 1 piece. Thanks a lot!


The Global Lottery Monitoring System (GLMS) has underlined the importance of ensuring that people who are under the legal age to buy a ticket are not targeted by marketing campaigns.
The GLMS highlighted the point as part of its newly-published code of conduct by stating that its members must "refrain from directing sports betting advertisements at underage people".
The code also calls on members to have appropriate procedures in place to prevent under-age gambling via their platforms, while odds should not be offered on events that only involve minors, the GLMS added.
The industry organisation's members, including Danske Spil, Française Des Jeux, the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Svenska Spel, voted to adopt the code at its general meeting last month in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
"Competent and effective performance is critical to our success, but just as important is how we go about achieving results – with honesty, transparency and respect, without taking shortcuts, and by operating ethically and with integrity in all that we do," GLMS president Ludovico Calvi said.

Spain's maritime rescue service said Sunday it had rescued 532 migrants who were attempting the perilous crossing of the Mediterranean Sea from north Africa this weekend.
Rescue boats intercepted 239 migrants travelling in eight small boats off Spain's southern coast on Sunday, a day after 293 migrants were pulled from nine vessels.
Three of the boats sank on Sunday right after the migrants were plucked from them due to their "poor state", the maritime service said in a Twitter message.
Favourable weather in the Strait of Gibraltar appears to have sparked the surge in sea crossings. Each year, tens of thousands attempt to reach Spain and other southern European countries by crossing the Mediterranean in smuggler boats.

PAK: Taliban will not be able to rule for long on the strength of power, said Afghan officials
August 20, 2021 August 20, 2021 Our Recharge
Amid the turmoil following the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, a delegation of prominent Afghan leaders and officials has warned that it will not last long if the Taliban government repeats past mistakes.
The delegation, led by Afghan Parliament Speaker Mir Rehman Rahmani, spoke to reporters in Islamabad on Thursday after meeting Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and other government and military officials this week. Afghans arrived in the Pakistani capital Islamabad on Monday, a day after the Taliban broke into Kabul and captured Afghanistan.
Former Afghan Vice President Mohammad Younis Lawyer said that the future government in Afghanistan should be inclusive with the participation of all ethnic groups. He said that we oppose rule by one party or group.
A prominent politician, Khalid Noor said the Taliban could not rule Afghanistan by force. He says they (the Taliban) took power by force, but warned that their rule would be short-lived if they did not respect the rights of the people.
Other members of the Afghan delegation include Salahuddin-Rabbani, Ahmed Zia Masood and Ahmed Wali Masood.
Arms deal with Afghanistan canceled
On the other hand, in the midst of the Afghanistan crisis, the US government has taken a big decision and canceled all the arms deals with the Afghan government for the time being. The Joe Biden administration has done this after the Taliban took over Afghanistan.
The US government has also sent notices to the contractors making arms. The Bureau of Political/Military Affairs of the Ministry of Home Affairs has sent the notice on Wednesday. It is written in it that the pending orders of weapons to be sent to Afghanistan and those which have not been delivered should be stopped for the time being.
Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson are constantly monitoring the rapidly changing developments in Afghanistan. The two heads of state will hold a digital meeting of the G-7 countries next week.

Zeus had a daughter named Athena, the goddess of war. A group of youths flocked to Athena fighting to protect her amidst heroic battles as her "Saints". Their proof of being a Saint laid with the battle protector known as Sacred Cloth. After a virtual eternity, a new struggle is about to unfold now again over the Cloth. A boy named Seiya has crossed way over to Greece to undergo the training to become a Saint and obtained the Cloth, Bronze cloth, the lowest position among Saints. Every Saint takes a constellation as their tutelary god. And Seiya's guardian star is Pegasus. Now, the saints gather together from all over the world to participate in the "Galatic War" - championship of Saints, aiming at the Gold Cloth, the symbol of ruler of the Saints. The curtain for Galatic War has been cut open. During the death battle between the Saints, Phoenix, the Black Saint, suddenly appeared on the scene and runs off with Gold Cloth in front of a full house in his ambition to become ruler of the world. Seiya and his fellow bronze cloth warriors go after Phoenix and his "Shadow Army" to retrieve the lost Gold Cloth... The battles waged among the saints, the strongest young men on earth, begin now!

Different dentists will work on different days and, whilst all the dentists here are great, should you have a preference, you can always be booked in with the dentist of your choice. Should you have an emergency, we will make time to see you that day, though you may have to be patient while we squeeze you in.
Our practice features two fully equipped operating surgeries and third consultation room. We are fully computerised and use the latest version of dental4windows.
We follow strict sterilization procedures and use the latest materials and treatment methods to ensure you receive really good quality treatment.
We use rotary endodontics for root canal and our preferred system is Protaper by Dentsply.
Whilst Amalgam can still be useful in certain circumstances it is rarely used nowadays in private practice in Australia. We do keep it available should it be needed.
Most fillings we do are placed with the current gold standard composite technology; Filtek Supreme. This is strong and can be highly polished making it both durable and aesthetic for fillings in your front and back teeth.
All instruments are sterilised and packaged according to Australian Guidelines.
We have nitrous oxide and oral sedation available for anxious patients though our dentists are particularly gentle and good at making you feel relaxed and at ease.
We currently use standard X-rays in house and refer to Spectrum imaging; conveniently located next door for OPG's and CT scans as required. Spectrum X-rays are bulk billed with your medicare card, saving you money.
We stay on top of the latest products and technology through studying the literature and regularly attending courses. These are tried and tested and integrated in the practice if they prove to be more effective than what is currently used.
Each surgery has room for a couple of family members to sit and watch or provide moral support for young or anxious patients.
We decided to remove spittoons from the surgeries for hygiene reasons. When you are numb, the accuracy of your spitting can become a little questionable to say the least, we prefer to use disposable cups for rinsing that you can hold right under your chin when rinsing.
We use latex gloves unless you inform us of an allergy in which case we use the nitrile, non latex version to avoid any adverse reactions.
Our dental practice is located on Anzac Parade in the heart of Maroubra Junction. Parking is available in the central reservation for 2 hours, in the side streets of Boyce Road or Almar road or if you are struggling you may take advantage of the two hours free parking in the Pacific Square car park on the opposite side of the road.
There are a number of dentists in Maroubra, though we would like to think they weren't all created equal so look for our sign outside and walk up the stairs to the first level where you will see all our names on the door.
We treat you as we ourselves would like to be treated; with the same choices, explanations, treatments and care and attention that we give our own family and friends.
We are committed to making you happy and seeing us as little as necessary to maintain a healthy mouth and smile.
We believe prevention is key to long term health and keeping costs down so are very active in this regard. We approach every individual with the same care and attention but appreciate you may have vastly different needs or wants and wishes,or even expectations. So we treat you in the way 'you' would prefer, offering our professional guidance and expertise in educating you in the decisions you need to make.
All our dentists are passionate about continuing education and improving their skills with reading, seminars and courses.
Often many choices of treatment exist; we will take the time to explain each of these to you, allow you time to ask any questions and never pressure you into any kind of decision. It is all about us working together to create a plan that is right for you.
There is always a friendly, relaxed atmosphere about the practice to help you feel at ease.
In a world of advertising and marketing, we realise that picking a dentist is not an easy decision- we hope we have helped you some-way towards making that decision.
We are pleased to have had the pleasure of looking after many people who found themselves in your position and hope you too will choose to get to know us.


Ah Bernanke and his perfect sense of timing. Ben decided to play nice today and wrote a letter to GAO Acting Comptroller Gene Dodaro to let him know that the Fed would "welcome a full review by GAO of all aspects of our involvement in the extension of credit to AIG."
Even though he's on the verge of losing patience, because the Fed "has also provided significant information about its lending actions regarding AIG to the Congress in testimony and correspondence, to the GAO in connection with its original report in September 2009, and to other oversight bodies such as the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program," Ben pledged that he will "make available to the GAO all records and personnel necessary to conduct this review."
Considering that Bernanke's heartwarming move comes more than a year after the insurer's bailout started and a mere couple of weeks before Geithner and Co.' grilling before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (not to mention a week after the incriminating emails surfaced) one has to wonder what triggered the grand gesture.
Either he has had enough of the whole brouhaha surrounding AIG, is fed up by regulators refusal to just drop it and move on, (how many hearings on the matter has the dude been on?) or has just a perfect sense of comedy.
We wouldn't go as far as saying that he should try out to replace Conan, but hey, in case that second stint as Fed chairman doesn't pan out, he might give it a go.
The revolving door, it spins so fast!


Really simple, nice ipad case. It came quickly and the packaging was nice. No issues. Will come back here for a phone case next time.
magnet is good, high quality at a glance its all tight, neat and well fit, perfect for the price!

Why are companies buying homes?
Alisa Carrino15/11/20229 minutes 8, seconds read0 Comments
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka announced on Wednesday wide-ranging initiatives to combat large corporations over the purchase of private homes. NEWARK, New Jersey (WABC) — Newark Mayor Ras Baraka on Wednesday announced wide-ranging initiatives to combat large corporations to buy private homes. I invest on behalf of my clients. I consult or invest on behalf of a financial institution.
To get directly to another BlackRock site, update your user type. Recently, BlackRock has been the subject of speculation, misperception, and even mistaken identity in media reports and on social media regarding our role in the U.S. UU. Several other large asset managers and private equity firms are very active today in buying single-family homes.
BlackRock is sometimes confused with them. As trust asset managers, we invest and manage capital on behalf of our clients across a wide range of U.S. Real estate markets, but buying individual homes is not one of them. BlackRock is a major investor in mortgage securities, helping to make capital available to individuals and families looking to buy homes.
BlackRock invests in several programs that provide financing to build new homes and add to the U.S. In addition, BlackRock invests in multi-family properties, apartment complexes and other residential real estate. As a global investment manager and trustee for our clients, our purpose at BlackRock is to help everyone experience financial well-being. Since 1999, we have been a leading provider of financial technology and our customers turn to us for the solutions they need when planning their most important objectives.
Christine Thompson lived in a cozy three-bedroom single-family home on a quiet residential street in Springfield for more than 50 years. But in January, the 72-year-old widow was forced to move after her husband's unexpected death left her in financial ruin, leading to a foreclosure auction. The house is now owned by a limited liability company called Ruby Realty, LLC, whose owners manage hundreds of rental units in Western Massachusetts. Thompson lives about 20 miles away in a rental unit, still injured by how she was treated by new landlords.
Changing ownership from a local resident to a group of investors is increasingly common in Massachusetts, from the cash-strapped neighborhoods of Springfield to Tony's neighborhoods in Newton and Nantucket, according to the GBH News Center for Investigative Reporting. Investors, whether buying cash or backed by bank loans, are playing an increasingly important role in the Massachusetts housing market. Data courtesy of The Warren Group. Investors are stimulated by high demand for housing, rising rents and rising home values, making it a lucrative business.
But housing advocates say the trend makes it more difficult for individual homeowners to buy and increases rents, so renters are being taken away from the price. Other problems arise with the model of using LLC to purchase homes. Shell Companies Tend to Be Worse Owners Than Individual Owners, Research Says. And the corporate structure obscures and protects its individual landlords, a corporate veil that creates additional headaches for housing advocates and government officials seeking homeowner accountability.
Rose Webster-Smith, executive director of nonprofit Springfield No One Leaves, says investors are also buying in the hope that home prices will rise because of the recently opened MGM casino and talks about a possible new passenger railway connecting East and West Mass. Speculators are increasingly buying foreclosed homes, he said, and pushing homeowners, inflating property values and rents in a city where about a quarter of people live in poverty. When investors buy foreclosed homes, low-income residents are often driven out with few options to pay for increased rents. The increase in investor purchases has created controversy on the island, known for its increase in vacationers during the warmer months.
Earlier this month, members of the municipal meeting decided to implement a new registration and permitting system for short-term rentals after community members expressed concern about the influx of corporate investors. The members of the municipal meeting presented two other proposals at the meeting that could have created more restrictions or opened the island to more investors. Anne Kuszpa, executive director of nonprofit Housing Nantucket, said she hopes the discussion will lead to solutions that more islanders can agree on in the future. Across the state, approximately two-thirds of all commercial purchases of residential real estate were single-family homes.
It's part of a national trend in which those homes accounted for 75 percent of all purchases by real estate investors in the third quarter of last year, a record, according to property tracker Redfin. Sheharyar Bokhari, senior economist at Redfin, told GBH News that speculators are making it increasingly difficult for families to compete. The increase in residential home sales by limited liability companies has drawn attention to the business structure itself. Many buyers use LLCs because they are relatively easy to set up, provide tax benefits, and protect homeowners from personal liability.
Nonprofits and nonprofits use them to develop. But lack of transparency in ownership has become a growing problem in real estate, linked to money laundering and negligent landlords who cannot be immobilized. Companies are required to file documents with the state, identifying the name and address of a "resident agent.". They can, but are not required to include the names of members or managers authorized to file documents.
Massachusetts housing advocates say they spend hours trying to extract property information from state applications. Some states, such as New York, are considering implementing their own laws to increase transparency. Lawmakers introduced a bill in March that would require LLCs to disclose names of owners to the state. Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher said in a news release.
It recently released new research that shows that rental housing LLC ownership is more prevalent in poorer communities, such as Springfield, across the country. In January, Thompson packed up and moved in with her family, her dog and two cats, relocating to an old country house in a neighboring town that she rents. She's still recovering from the move that separates her from everything she knows. Ruby Realty co-owners Matthew Tortoriello and Kevin Shippee say they did everything they could to help Thompson solve his housing problems.
When they couldn't help her buy back the house, they said they tried to help her find a new place. They say they started buying homes in Springfield because of low house prices and high return on investment. They also made money on home improvements through the city's judicial administration program aimed at fixing abandoned and vacant homes. The program allows private companies to repair homes when homeowners and banks are unable or unwilling to do so.
But GBH News reported in March on growing concern that the program is pushing some low-income homeowners in the process. They say they recently bought a third investor who helped them when they were starting out. They say they have nothing to hide. The structure of the LLC helps them protect their investments by separating real estate agreements, which currently involve about 250 rental units, and allows collaboration with other investors.
They are proud of the work they do in a community plagued by abandoned and empty houses. But his presence on social media has irritated some housing activists. The partners have accounts under the name "Two Guys Take on Real Estate", with nearly 900,000 followers on TikTok. Among the videos are posts about how much money they have earned, what they describe as "bad" and "dirty" tenants, and a tour of a foreclosed house, full of garbage, toys and children's clothes, that had been occupied when they bought it.
But housing activists like Webster-Smith say the company stands out for its disdain for renters and homeowners. She says she has been tracking her purchases for years, worried about her business practices. Tenants tell you Yellowbrick managers don't keep their properties until tenants threaten to take legal action, and that they will try to evict residents without giving them proper legal notice. Tortoriello and Shippee say they pride themselves on maintaining their properties, but they can't fix what residents don't tell them.
They say homeowners often think they can stay in their homes longer than expected. Webster-Smith says many renters are too afraid to talk about the problems that come with their new landlords, are worried about rent increases or other retaliation. Meanwhile, as federal pandemic aid runs out, Webster-Smith says his office is being further flooded with landlords and renters facing eviction with nowhere to go because many of their homes are being converted to business investments. Boston University journalism students Grace Ferguson, Eliot Hay, William Holmes, Sebastian Jaramillo, Mia Khatib, Christian Metzger, Avanti Nambiar, Ryan Noel, James Paleologopoulos, Jamison Sapp and Luwa Yin contributed to this report.
McKim is a senior investigative reporter at the GBH News Center for Investigative Reports. It focuses on social justice issues, including criminal justice, child welfare, sex trafficking and personal debt for print, digital and television media. Small groups of neighborhood volunteers are preventing businesses from buying single-family homes, rewriting homeownership rules to thwart investors' buying of suburban homes. If you want to explore your options, you can always see what some cash buyers are willing to offer to get an idea of what you could gain from a faster trade.
These companies buy your house very quickly, so if you believe the adage that time is money, maybe a quick offer seems more than fair to you. This lack of transparency between buyers can make it much more difficult for residents to keep track of who is the real owner of the building in which they live. The proposed package of measures is designed to reduce large-scale investor purchases of private homes and strengthen homeownership in Newark. If your home needs serious repairs that you can't afford to cover, or if you need to sell it right away, companies that pay cash for homes are a good option.
Everything is designed to help avoid paying two mortgages at the same time or trying to buy a home while the old one is selling. Real estate investment groups are buying an increasing proportion of homes and renting them, in some cases to families who had dreamed of owning their own homes. Most of his constituents are renters hoping to buy homes, and they were disappointed when a new development of more than 200 homes announced a change to "build to rent," meaning the units would be long-term rentals, he said. The company acts as an intermediary, connecting homeowners who want to sell with interested members who could make a purchase offer.
Institutional purchasing in Georgia has focused on a circle of middle-class black suburbs south of Atlanta, according to research by Brian An, assistant professor of public policy at Georgia Tech. Flyhomes is a brokerage agency that helps clients buy a new home before selling the one they currently live in. Three of the biggest buying investors are real estate companies that appear to be operating as "large-scale new corporate owners," researchers said. .

Oprah Winfrey already has a talk show, a magazine, a production company, and a network — now, she also has her own street in Chicago.
In celebration of the contributions that Oprah has brought to both television and the city, longtime city mayor Richard Daley has re-named the street outside of her Harpo studio "Oprah Winfrey Way." In celebration of the tremendous honor, Winfrey had this to say:
"Who knew a little colored girl from Kosciusko, MS who grew up on a dirt road would grow up to her name on a street in the greatest city in the world?"
This move is coming as one of many events in celebration of Winfrey's finaly season. The show's grand finale is set to air on May 25 — the final guest is being kept heavily under wraps.

Thousands occupy Armenia square
By Matthew Collin
BBC News, Yerevan
Protesters also massed on Thursday in the capital
Some 30,000 people have been holding a third day of protests in Armenia against the result of a presidential election they allege was rigged.
The demonstrators have been occupying a square in the capital, Yerevan, around the clock, and have set up a tent camp.
Official results gave victory to PM Serzh Sarkisian, and the authorities insist the polls were democratic.
The protesters say outspoken opposition candidate Levon Ter-Petrosian was the real winner.
The huge crowd of protesters in Yerevan's Freedom Square raised their fists in the air to show their determination to keep up the pressure on the authorities.
Thousands of people broke off from the main rally to march through the city.
They jeered and whistled at the security forces in riot gear who were guarding the main government building and the prosecutor's office.
Warning to crowd
Mr Sarkisian has warned the protesters not to cause any disruption.
He says that if they do break the law, the security forces will restore order.
But Alexander Arzoumanian, a former foreign minister who is an opposition campaigner, told the BBC he did not believe the authorities would use force against the protestors.
"They are cowards," he said.
"They don't have the courage to do such a thing. They would never have the courage to come and attack such a powerful crowd."
Mr Arzoumanian said the demonstrations would continue as long as it took to get rid of Armenia's "corrupt government".
But Mr Sarkisian has described the protests as blackmail, and says he is certain they will end in failure.

Chile Lindo Empanadas – A Chilean Staple!
Our artisanal empanadas are handcrafted with top quality, locally sourced ingredients for your gourmet tastes. A Chile Lindo empanada is meal-sized, the cocktail empanada is half the size. Chile Lindo adheres to sustainable farming principles. We offer five choices of empanadas, in two different sizes.
Chile Lindo's new empanada is a tribute to Copa America Centenary and introduces Chile's authentic spice: Merken.
Ingredients: Niman Ranch beef, merken, onions, cumin, paprika, rock-salt, pepper, black olive, & a slice of hard boiled egg.
Chile Lindo is most famously celebrated for its baked Classic Empanada de Pino.
Ingredients: Niman Ranch beef, onions, cumin, paprika, rock-salt, pepper, raisins, black olive, & a slice of hard boiled egg.
Ingredients: Roasted Mary's free-range chicken, onions, cumin, rock-salt, pepper, raisins, green olives, & a slice of hard boiled egg.

Ingredients: Mozzarella & Cheddar Cheese with a Jalapeño kick.
The Vegan Empanada recipe was created to taste like the Chilean classic—without animal products—using the meat-like consistency product Yves Meatless Ground. Vegans and vegetarians can experience the traditional Chilean empanada at Chile Lindo.
Ingredients: Yves Meatless Ground, onions, cumin, paprika, rock-salt, pepper, raisins & a black olive.
A Chilean, mildly piquant condiment. Enjoy Chile Lindo's empanada with pebre.
Cooking the stuffing (colloquially known as Pino): finely chopped onions are sautéed with cumin and paprika. Separately, Niman Ranch is seared with rock-salt & black pepper. The sautéed onions and seared beef are combined.
Preparing homemade dough: the dough is kneaded by hand and then passed through the dough stretching machine numerous times until it reaches a precise thickness. Subsequently the dough is cut into 10-inch discs, stacked between layers of parchment paper, and refrigerated overnight.
Assembling and folding each empanada: the 10-inch dough discs are hand-filled with portions of the stuffing (pino). A couple of raisins are sprinkled, plus a black olive and a slice of hard boiled egg (cage free) are added. Varying traditional folds identify each empanada. A brush of egg wash gives the finishing touch and they're ready to bake.
Colonial Spaniards brought the empanada to Chile in the 16th-century; however, it is common knowledge that the true origin derived from the Arab world, dating back to the 8th-century, possibly emerging from the fatay–an Arab dish introduced to Spain during the Moors' 700 year long invasion of the Iberian Peninsula. Considering the mix of ingredients–cumin, raisins, olives, paprika–this is most likely true. The term empanada originates from the Spanish verb empanar, meaning to wrap in bread (pan means bread in Spanish).

Cellulose Insualtion - Part 1 — SCHAEFER ENGINEERING, Inc.
Cellulosic Fiber Loose-Fill Thermal Insulation, or Cellulose Insulation, is basically a chemically treated, recycled cellulosic fiber such as shredded newspaper and/or cardboard. This insulation is most commonly used in attics and other enclosed spaces of dwellings and other framed buildings. The included image shows a sample of commonly available cellulose insulation whose base stock is shredded, recycled newspaper. It is not uncommon to find debris such as plastic bags, likely a result of the use of recycled products, in the insulation.
ASTM International standards specify characteristics that cellulose insulation must meet in the following categories: design density, corrosiveness, critical radiant flux, fungi resistance, moisture vapor sorption, odor emission, smoldering combustion and thermal resistance. The critical radiant flux and smoldering combustion categories of the standards relate specifically to the ignition and combustion of cellulose insulation.

MUSIC DOWNLOADS: Peacebomb
The town of Woodstock NY is usually peaceful and quiet, but on a good day one can catch a glimpse of its lively music scene. In the early 90's, the spotlight never stayed on this tightly knit community to pick up some of its impressive gems. While two Woodstock festival revivals were had, the local bands that rocked the show seemed to be quickly forgotten in memories of riots. Among them was the funky rocking sound of Peacebomb. With a strong, small cult following from the area, Singer Max Olsen says it best, "We are Peacebomb, sharp, never dull, an oxymoron, not I. This is not a hyperbole, my friend Roger, This is not a metaphor. We are that". This closely resembles the bands lyrics, and whether Max is a genius, insane, or both isn't really clear, and doesn't really matter. Peacebomb is/was a ridiculous good time for all. The band only saw one release, IsWas in 1992, and while the band is now, for the most part, defunct, they are known to put on reunion shows once in a while with new songs and all kinds of surprises. Most of the bands line-up is currently part of the great prog-metal-funk-pop outfit 3. There have been rumors for the last year that Peacebomb may release a long-awaited second album, but these have not been confirmed.

Alachua County is one of the first Florida counties to sue pharmaceutical makers and distributors as a result of the opioid epidemic.
The county filed a complaint last week in circuit civil court naming more than a dozen defendants, from manufacturers to individual doctors. It alleges the defendants spent millions of dollars falsely marketing opioids as long-term, safe and non-addictive drugs.
Osceola County has also filed suit at the state level. Joseph Ciaccio, an attorney with the law firm Napoli Shkolnik, signed professional service contracts with both Alachua and Osceola counties. His firm represents about 100 other counties nationwide in state-level litigation.
From the Panhandle to South Florida, at least nine other counties are considering filing a lawsuit but have not yet done so.
Ciaccio said Alachua County's legal action is a step in ending the opioid epidemic.
At its Dec. 12 meeting, Alachua County commissioners discussed how it wanted to approach the epidemic and lawsuit.
The State Attorney General's Office has not yet jumped into the litigation, but Alachua County Attorney Sylvia Torres said getting ahead of the state may give the county a leg up.
If the county were to lose in court, taxpayers would not be on the hook; the contract calls for the county to pay 25 percent of the fees if it earns a settlement or judgment.
According to the most recent Medical Examiners Commission Drug Report, about 200,000 people died in Florida in 2016, 5,725 of which were opioid-related.
The District 8 medical examiner's office, headquartered in Gainesville and covering six counties, saw a total of 96 deaths from opioids like heroin, fentanyl, methadone and others in 2016, according to the report.
Still, the county is taking precautionary action.
A repeat of big tobacco?
The tobacco industry took more than a $200 billion hit in the late 1990s when 46 states successfully sued for false advertising campaigns and health-care costs.
Is the same happening with opioids?
Ciaccio said there are similarities to the cases, but from his perspective the opioid epidemic is more dramatic and severe.
Counties are dealing with some of the largest corporations in the country, some of which have paid massive fines to the federal government and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Ciaccio said.
For example, Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of OxyContin, paid $600 million in fines in 2007 for misinforming doctors and regulators about risks, according to the New York Times.
McKesson agreed in 2017 to pay a $150 million settlement for suspicious orders of drugs, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Ciaccio said Alachua and other counties pursuing litigation are seeking recovery for resources to end opioid addictions.
Along with costs to local healthcare and law enforcement, Ciaccio said programs for substance abuse, child services, and education are needed.
According to a Jan. 31 Bloomberg story, Judge Daniel Poster in Cleveland is monitoring all cases on the federal and state levels in hopes of solving what's likely to be a complicated legal battle.
Correction appended: A previous version of this story stated the number of Florida's opioid-related deaths in 2016 was near 200,000. The actual number was 5,725.
This is an excellent legal step taken by our A.C. Commission to hold Big Pharma to account for its perpetual greed & 'profit over patients' ideology. If taken soon, perhaps it might have even prevented the tragic and untimely death of Richard Petty & many others. By misleading physicians about the safety of OxyContin in order to earn $35bn in sales revenue from the toxic pain drug between 1995 and 2015., addiction specialists say that its manufacturer, Purdue Pharma and its owners, the Sackler family, bear the "lion's share"of the responsibility for many deaths and today's opioid crisis.
In 1995, Purdue Pharma revolutionized the prescription painkiller market with the invention of OxyContin, a drug that is a legal, concentrated, chemical version of morphine or heroin. It was designed to be safe; when it first came to market, its slow-release formula was unique. After winning government approval it was hailed as a medical breakthrough.
It was aggressively marketed to doctors – many of whom were taken on lavish junkets, given misleading information and paid to give talks on the drug – while patients were wrongly told the pills were a reliable long-term solution to chronic pain, and in some cases offered coupons for a month's free sample.
So the article admits that Alachua County has not suffered any sort of abnormality in drug related deaths. How about holding the people who choose to take those drugs illegally, or beyond the recommended dosage, accountable? I was prescribed narcotic pain killers with ever increasing dosages for nearly 10 years. Perfectly legal, and due diligence by my doctor. One day I questioned how much the pain killers were actually helping after bein on them for so long. So I just quit cold turkey, against medical advice, and I was just fine. For a day or two I felt crappy, but after that it was smooth sailing. Yeah I am still in pain, but as an adult I made the choice to stop. I could just as easily tell my doctor I would like to start again if it gets too unbearable. Unlike Big Tobacco, narcotic pain relievers help a lot of people from agonizing existences. These kind of articles point out the numbers of people who are killed while failing to acknowledge the tens of millions of people that these medications help each year.
Alachua County and Gainesville- why don't you focus on getting our money back for that piece of crap biofuel plant you illegally shoved down the citizens throats?


Priyanka Chopra didn't expect to marry Nick Jonas.
The 36-year-old actress tied the knot with the 26-year-old singer in December following a whirlwind romance but the former 'Quantico' star admitted she'd judged the 'Jealous' hitmaker before she really got to know him properly.
She said: "I've known him for two years. I didn't think that this is what it [would've] turned out to be, and that's maybe that's my fault, I judged a book by its cover. When I actually started dating Nick, he surprised me so much."
The 'Baywatch' star then spoke about "one of the first things that struck" her about Nick when they first started dating, recalling how on a night out with pals, she needed to leave early for a meeting but kept dropping hints in the hope the Jonas Brothers star would ask her to cancel her other plans.
"He gave me credit for what I had done, it was just mindblowing for me."
The couple got engaged last July after two months of dating and tied the knot in India in December, with two ceremonies for each of their faiths, and almost a week of celebrations.
But Priyanka admitted that, after receiving the bill for their lavish nuptials, they probably should have waited longer before getting married.
She said: "I knew it was going to be three days because Indian weddings do have pre-rituals. Both of us wanted one wedding in each of our religions, so that was two days anyway.
"It all happened so fast. We decided to prep this wedding in October, and we got married [on] the first of December."
"We saw videos, and then the bill. And we were like, 'Cool cool, maybe we should have prepared this a little bit more.' "


B2B Marketers to Increase Online Content, but What Kind?
Now more than ever, online content is the key to attracting and engaging qualified prospects online. According to a study done in August of 2011 B2B marketers, 60% plan to increase content spend in 2012 (compared to 51% in 2011) and 62% plan to outsource content creation (it was 55% in 2011).
But, the biggest challenge B2B Marketers have with content is figuring out what kind engages prospects.
There are new forms of content emerging constantly, and many B2B marketers are new to online content creation. Here are some ideas for how to identify what content you should create.
Use a website analytics to track downloads and visits. This give you clues as to what media visitors to your site prefer and what topics are most popular.
Leverage the most popular page topics on your site. If an article you wrote gets tons of visitors, build on that – create a video or a more in-depth eBook on the same or similar topic.
Re-purpose great content into multiple media formats and track the results. Sometimes you just have to resort to trial and error. Put a bunch of content formats on your site about the same topic and see which is most popular. Learn from the results and build on your successes.
Better yet, survey or interview your customers. What media do they like the most? Do they want a smart phone app from you because they're so mobile? Video, because it's engaging? Audio, because they're so busy they want to listen while they drive or exercise?
Research your customers. Find published studies that detail the demographics and psychographics of your customers – online publications will track this information for advertisers. Combined with some interviews this information will help you develop marketing personas about them (see my previous post on marketing personas – Why B2B Marketing Personas Rule) that include their content media preference.
Ask your sales and customer service people to track common questions and issues. Then, answer the questions or address the issues in your online content.
Watch and listen on social media. What are your prospects and customers engaging in with others? How can it be applied to what you offer?
These are just some ways to answer the question, "What Kind of Content Should We Create?" How do you answer this?

Crashing waves outside the tent walls make it hard to keep my eyes open. It's a dark April night and the tent is parked on smooth sand. After spending the better part of four months in the mountains, this west coast beach is welcome and extremely comfortable. When the waves crash I imagine the millions of little grains shifting around before settling again, grinding shells and larger stones in the process. The sound is rhythmic but occasionally one wave hits the beach softer... or much louder. The boom of the occasional loud wave sends chills down my lower back. Tomorrow I'll wake to the exact same sounds but from a greater distance, with the waves crashing further off shore. I'll also wake to the sound of swooshing wings as a raven passes not far above the tent. Before I drift off to sleep, my thoughts will shift to pondering the rhythms and cycle of water in nature. After all, the oceans of the pacific are the source of moisture of our clouds that bring us winter snows in the mountains.
Years of accumulating water locked in a frozen form builds into masses we know as glacier. The landlocked ice moves like a slow plastic river. With bends and turns the frozen beast shivers and quakes, letting out loud groans and sounds like a deep crack of the whip. This disappearing mountain ice is grinding and churning mountainsides and valleys. A larger more powerful bulldozer there never existed.
As boulders trapped in the mass of flowing ice continue downhill, they score and grind the surrounding earth and rock. Eventually the water will receive enough energy to be released from its frozen form before flowing downhill and plunging into dark caverns on the glaciers surface. These deep bowels, these moulins, do not lead to Alice's Wonderland. The water worms and squeezes between rock and a cold place before finally emerging from the toe of the glacier into a stream.
Released from their captivity of ice, droplets by the billions take advantage of a new-found freedom to rush downhill off the mountain. They bump, bubble, churn and whirl and in their momentum whip underlying sands into their foam. From a water droplet's perspective it's like a massive game of pinball and go-karts; the arena sets the stage. Waterfalls, sharp embankments, tight gaps, underground channels, cascades provide a brown-pant rated rollercoaster. The furious waters sculpt the landscape long after the glaciers have left them.
Eventually the water slows when it nears valley bottom but by then it is moving en mass. The movement of the droplets resembles more like a ballroom dance instead of the dubstep dance club upstream. At this point, all sorts of silts and minerals are swirling within the waters. Bears, wolves, moose, deer and eagles patrol the edges. Trout and salmon find home in the currents. Cottonwoods and cedars spread their roots into the riverbanks sourcing the waters and minerals. This far along the journey, the flow of water is constantly adding to itself from side channels, if it ever again gained speed it would be a force to be reckoned with. The river now is often volatile, bi-polar and unresolved as to it's path. Over the course of centuries, to the annoyance of the trees, it continues to change its course. Channels fill and floods carve new channels for the river. It topples trees and stacks them like toothpicks, remembering it's bulldozer nature.
The waters worm their way for great lengths before eventually reaching the opening waters of the estuaries. A delta full of creatures accepts the river into the salted ocean waters. Call it a long reunion after hundreds of year. One that might have spanned thousands of kilometres. A quest that ground mountains, toppled trees, brought life and carved valleys. All to rejoin the thunderous boom of the pacific ocean's waves.

Chapter Thirty-One - Lord, Help Me!
We are drawing near to the end. Not Judas alone but all those who looked for a Messiah who should be the temporal Ruler and Liberator of His people, were grievously disappointed when our Lord declared that He had not come to be a king of the world. It was an earthly kingdom that they wanted, not the Kingdom of Heaven of which He spoke.
According to the rabbis, the Messiah was to march at the head of His people against all heathen nations, to make them subject to the Jews, and to rule from Jerusalem over the whole earth. There was to be a reign of a thousand years, a reign of prosperity, glory and pleasure for the people of God. The fruit trees and the harvest fields were to yield their produce continually, and every product of every clime was to be found in Palestine in an abundance such as the wildest imagination only could conceive. Jewish children were brought up from their earliest years with these expectations, and even our Lord's disciples were full of such earthly hopes. So that when, about this time, their Master began to break gently to them that He was going to redeem the world, not by fighting against the Romans, but by shedding His Blood, they could not understand what He meant.
His enemies—the priests, the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the Herodians—were glad to see the people disappointed, and their enthusiasm for Jesus of Nazareth cooling. They told them that a poor, unlearned man, the son of a carpenter, could never be the glorious Messiah of whom Moses and the Prophets had spoken. They reproved the poor sick people who came to Him on the Sabbath to be cured. They followed Him about, watching Him, laughing at Him, putting difficult questions to Him in the hope of puzzling Him.
For a long time our Lord bore meekly with the Pharisees, who were among the most violent of His enemies. He answered their questions, though He knew they were only asked to entrap Him, and gently pointed out to them the sins which made them displeasing to God. But when He saw that they continued to shut their eyes to the light, and that they were leading the people away from Him, He fearlessly and publicly rebuked them for their hypocrisy and pride, and warned them of the terrible punishment they were preparing for themselves.
One day He told the people this parable:
"Two men went up into the Temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a publican. The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus with himself :
"God, I give Thee thanks that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican. I fast twice in a week, I give tithes of all that I possess."
And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards Heaven, but struck his breast, saying:
"O God, be merciful to me a sinner." I say to you this man went down to his house justified; that is, pleasing to God,' rather than the other, because everyone that exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." How the pride of the Pharisees must have been stung by this parable! To think of anyone daring to compare a Pharisee with a publican, and preferring the publican ! From this time their rage against our Lord knew no bounds, and they leagued with their enemies, the Sadducees and the Herodians, to bring about His destruction. He knew all their plots, but went calmly on His way, teaching and healing, casting out devils, and training His Apostles, knowing that His enemies could do nothing against Him until His hour should come.
On a certain day, when He had been telling the people that in the Kingdom of God the last should be first and the first last—a prospect very unwelcome to the Pharisees— some of these came and said to Him:
"Get Thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill Thee." He answered : "Go and tell that fox: Behold, I cast out devils and do cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am consummated." " No man," He said another day, " taketh My life away from Me, but I lay it down of Myself, and I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again."
One day our Lord crossed the northern border of Palestine and came into the heathen land of Phoenicia.
"He would that no man should know it," says St. Mark, "but He could not be hid." His fame had gone beyond the limits of His own little country, and a poor pagan woman came to Him in her distress. Her daughter was possessed by an evil spirit, and the mother, who had heard of the cures in Palestine, hoped that Jesus of Nazareth would have pity on her child. So she came after Him crying out:
"Have mercy on me, O Lord, Thou Son of David, my daughter is grievously troubled by a devil." But He answered her not a word. "What an unheard of thing is this ! " says St. John Chrysostom, "He helped those who were undeserving ; He would not send away those who came to tempt and hurt Him, but for one who ran after Him and humbly implored His aid He had not a word." The disciples, annoyed at the disturbance she was making, came to Him, saying:
"Send her away, for she crieth after us." But she would not be sent away, and, paying no heed to them, she besought Him that He would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. And He, answering, said: "I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel." What a disappointment ! And she had been told He was so kind to those in trouble. Anyone but a mother would have lost heart and gone away disconsolate ; but she did not give in, she was not discouraged. She came and fell down at His feet and adored Him, saying:
"Lord, help me!" And He said:
"It is not good to take the bread of the children and to cast it to the dogs." To this poor woman these words sounded harsher than they do to us, for the dogs of the East are not
the companions and pets we make them, but starving, wretched creatures for which nobody cares. It is not fit, our Lord meant, that the favours granted to the children of God, that is, to the Jews, should be given to pagans like her. Will she go away now, hurt or brokenhearted? No, she is too humble to be hurt, too resolute to be brokenhearted. She will turn His words against Him and make them plead her cause,
"Yes, Lord," she says eagerly, " for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children. What Thou sayest is true. It is not fit to take the children's bread for the dogs, but it is fit to give just the crumbs to the little dogs waiting under the table for them. This will not hurt the children. I am only a dog, but a little one to whom some broken bits might perhaps out of kindness be given."
How could our Lord hold out any longer ! He had determined to set this poor heathen before His followers to the end of time as a model of the humble, persevering prayer that wins reward at last. Therefore He was obliged to try her by seeming hard. It was all seeming. From the first He was full of compassion for her and her unhappy child. He longed to help her, and had to hold back the tender, pitying words His heart was prompting Him to say. They came at last as an outburst of admiration that He could no longer restrain:
"O woman, great is thy faith, be it done unto thee as thou wilt!" He who rebuked His disciples for their little faith was delighted with what He found in this Canaanite. He liked, too, the way in which she turned His words about the dogs against Him. St. Mark says it was this sharpness of hers that in the end gained her cause. And Jesus said:
"For this saying, go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter." And, when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone
out. Was it worth while to have waited patiently and humbly, and to have persisted in spite of weariness and delay ?

U.K. discount grocery store, Aldi, is selling licensed ride-on toy cars, a Jaguar and a Land Rover, this holiday season. The models are intricately detailed, drivable, and relatively inexpensive.
The Jaguar is a realistic-looking white model complete with a dashboard, a seatbelt, a working horn, and headlights. The car is made of 95 percent plastic and 5 percent steel, and weighs eight pounds.
The Land Rover is all black and contains the same features, along with an MP3 player connector and a simple button accelerator.
Both cars are rechargeable with six-volt batteries and can drive up to 3 miles per hour.
The Jaguar costs around £60 pounds (about $80 U.S.), while the Land Rover costs £75 pounds, (roughly $100) For reference, Target is selling a toy Jaguar C-X75 for $180, and there's an eBay listing for a Land Rover model (which looks very similar to the one being sold at Aldi) for $160.
The cars are part of Aldi's special buy program, which also includes a plush ride-on pony and a basketball shootout game. Aldi started the special buy program last year and sold more than 11,000 products.
"We're thrilled to be offering families the chance to go all out this Christmas with our quality range of premium toys," said Julie Ashfield, who works as a buyer for Aldi.
The Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles are being sold in stores and online, but good luck getting one in the U.S. The Aldi website doesn't appear to have the option to ship the toys here.

Mind is Key
Almost four months into 2012 and I've finally found my first candidate for this year's top 10. The band in question is Sydney, Australia's Paradigm, who I'd never heard of before this – and chances are, from the meager exposure out there on the metal web, you haven't either. However, If you're a fan of progressive metal in any form, you'll want to fix that now. Mind is Key is their second release, and whatever they've already accomplished with their debut, they seem hell-bent on topping it with this hour-plus album of ambition, aggression and phenomenal technical musicianship.
The opening track, "Android," is also the longest on Mind is Key, at +16 minutes. That's a lot of space to fill, but these guys have zeroed in on a hybrid, muscular sound, and they build it up smartly over time – though not without a few left-field surprises that take some time to process. It all starts with a bedrock layer of off-time, stuttery Meshuggah-like guitars and spattered, staccato percussion, and then a minute in, switches up to a fierce, spiraling groove that recalls nothing so much as the riffs off of Lamb of God's Ashes of the Wake. I'll be honest, djent rarely holds my attention for long, but this progressive melodic approach to the genre is a significant evolution to my ears.
Before long, another element joins the fray – post-hardcore styled shouts and cleans that trade off with the hoarse barks and roars. At first I found them too youthful and not genuinely aggressive enough, but they lend the band a unique character and I've come to like them. The chunky, spiraling and machine-gunned barrage continues throughout much of the first half, but by the song's midsection, I started to hear two other major influences coming through. The more melodic, complex and brighter passages and solos reminded me strongly of Dream Theater, and the progressive death undulations that erupt towards the end of the song recall late-era Death/Chuck Schuldiner. Not bad company at all.
"Android" is an extremely ambitious track to start the album off with, and probably the track I had to listen to the most to 'get it.' The track never flags, but it is a lot to take in for your first taste of the band, especially since there are more focused songs on the album – I'll get to those in a bit. At the very least, you should be impressed by the band's skill and their melodic take on Meshuggah-style mathematical rage.
Unfortunately, Paradigm stumbles with the second track, "Atmosphere." It's a sodden Gojira clone, with none of that band's strident, crackling aggression and only one interesting (and, not surprisingly) atmospheric passage. The sludgy mood doesn't really do the album any favors, especially after such a strong opening.
Things pick up again with track 3, "Portals," another longish odyssey that leans harder on thrash and metalcore in its opening minutes, and contains a thrilling melodic crescendo one minute in – one that, sadly, is never repeated again in the rest of the track, though it does reach other melodic peaks in its final third. The youthful shouts make a return here as well, though they're a bit more shrill than before. However, everything else here is so great that I've just become accustomed to them.
All in all, a great, listenable track and from here, Mind is Key pretty much cooks – even with the addition of "Visions," which is sure to be the one that throws most of you. Simply put, it's the band's Opeth/Porcupine Tree moment. It's very well-played, with delicate, lilting clean guitars and folkish, vaguely Appalachian vocals, but given that none of the preceding songs incorporated any of these elements, "Visions" is a bit out of place in the whole. Still, I love the sound here, and I hope the band will be confident enough to weave it into some of their future work.
That leaves the final two tracks, "Wish Us Light" and "Written in Blood," and as I said above, they're the most focused pieces on the album – and also the best. "Wish Us Light" opens with a gorgeous, shimmering riff before tearing into propulsive, progressive thrash. The song doesn't just flow – it hurtles, and that energy carries it all the way up to the triumphant melodic choruses, which reprise the shimmering melody from the opening minutes. This is the track I've played the most of off Mind is Key, sometimes restarting it as soon as it's over. "Written in Blood" has a meaner attitude, starting with a more streamlined attack than probably anything else on the album. Over the course of its 12-minute running time, it grows choppier and more complex, and works in some fantastic and dizzying technical soloing. It's also more accessible than a challenging behemoth like "Android."
That brings me to my chief critique of the album – I would have paced and structured it differently. Start off with the two final tracks to grab listeners by the balls right away without any risk of losing them (although the rhapsodic final minutes of "Blood" really do belong at the end of the album), then switch to "Visions" for an interlude, then "Portals," drop "Atmosphere" (or write something more adventurous and less sludgy), and finally end with "Android" as the big monstrous closer.
Regardless, I can do that myself in iTunes, and besides, the fact that I even care to geek and nitpick like this means I genuinely think there's something special here. Once again, I love the progressive/melodic djent thing that Paradigm's got going on, some of their riffs sound more like Lamb of God used to than that band does now, and as a big Dream Theater fan, any kind of cogent, complex and melodic fireworks are bound to make me pay attention. And most importantly, I think I'll still be playing Mind is Key throughout the rest of 2012, which is the highest compliment I can pay to any progressive album.

Was really, REALLY bored at work and clicked on this review. I don't normally get into stuff like this, but got a chance to listen to the song "Portals" and I'm digging this band. Cool stuff. The vocals are the biggest hangup; once you start to get past the vocals and realize they're simply doing some different things in that dept, then you can move on and discover the rest of it. Available for 5.94 mp3 download on Amazon; I think it'll be well worth it!

update: purchased it and I am very much enjoying the record. Can't say it's top 10 or 20 material, but it will at least be worthy of repeat listens throughout the year. AWESOME players!

cool, glad you dig it. and just wait, give it another 10-20 listens :)


The list of 'conditions' attached to a planning permission can sometimes appear extremely onerous. Occasionally they are unreasonable. Planning authorities are supposed to take great care to make them workable in any particular situation. However, they are frequently prone to be difficult, particularly if they were very reluctant to grant planning consent in the first place, but they feel they have to in order to avoid an appeal that they will probably lose.
If you think a planning condition you have had applied does not fulfill these requirements, it may be worth appealing it. Even better is to engage with the local planning authority early and negotiate beforehand. This way there may be no nasty surprises when the planning permission letter arrives.
If, however, you have gone beyond the date when an appeal may have been possible, it is always worth considering putting in a planning application to remove or vary a condition. As always is the case with planning, you need to do your homework first, and take good planning advice from someone experienced in that aspect of the planning system.

Cirque du Soleil returns to Chicago with VOLTA, a captivating voyage of discovery!

For the first time, VOLTA will perform under its signature Big Top at the Soldier Field South Lot, 1410 Museum Campus Drive, Chicago, May 18 – June 23, 2019.

It is about being true to oneself, fulfilling one's true potential, and recognizing one's own power to make it possible. Ultimate freedom comes with self-acceptance, and with the liberation of the judgment of others.
