Weeknight Leftover Salad with Honey and Lime Dressing
Coming off a lazy week at the beach, I sure don’t feel like cooking. But thanks to that nifty culinary shortcut known as the rotisserie chicken, my family will still get fed, and nicely. For this quick and crunchy salad, I shredded the bird’s breast meat and added grilled squash and sweet red pepper from my brother’s garden. Local “Summer Wild Flowers” raw honey from Slippery Rock’s AlwaysSummerHerbs (you can find it at Whole Foods and Pittsburgh Public Market) sweetened the deal.
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey, more if desired
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, or to taste (from about 3 limes)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken or turkey, cold or reheated
2 cups cut Napa or other cabbage, or other leafy greens, thinly sliced or chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 cups chopped leftover vegetables, cut into bite-sized pieces, cold or reheated
1 cup shredded or thinly sliced carrots
1 apple, cored and diced
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions (green parts only)
Salt and pepper
Blue cheese or gorgonzola crumbles, to taste
Freshly chopped cilantro, optional, to taste
A few handfuls of roasted cashews or dry-roasted almonds, optional
To make dressing: Place a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and toast just until they begin to take on some color and become fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Roughly grind seeds using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, or in a mixing bowl using the bottom of a measuring cup.
In a mixing bowl, whisk in oil, honey and lime juice with cumin seeds until all ingredients are emulsified. Whisk in salt and pepper, then taste and adjust seasoning and flavoring, if desired. Makes 3/4 cup of dressing; cover and keep refrigerated for up to a week.
To make salad: In a large mixing bowl, toss together chicken, cabbage, vegetables, carrots, apple and green onions. Pour about half the dressing over the salad and toss to lightly coat. Taste and add additional dressing if desired, and season to salt and pepper. Toss in the blue cheese crumbles, as well as cilantro and nuts, if using. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 generous servings.

Quick and clean with gas? Or slow and smoky with charcoal?
That’s the question backyard grill masters have been hotly debating since the first gas grill in the 1960s.
Here’s another option: Why not get down and dirty, and clinch that rib-eye to crusty perfection?
Clinching — cooking meat directly on hot coals — is one of the more unusual cooking methods grilling guru Adam Perry Lang explores in his latest cookbook, “Charred & Scruffed: Bold New Techniques for Explosive Flavor On and Off the Grill” (Artisan, May 2012, $24.95). It’s a hard-core approach that’s guaranteed to elicit oohs, aahs and the occasional ewws from those who think ash on meat is yucky. Yet it actually makes for a pretty good steak dinner, in that cooking meat directly on white-hot coals creates a charred, smoky and, yes, slightly ashy, crust that is tough to replicate using traditional means.
Cooking on coals usually is referred to as “dirty grilling,” for obvious reasons. Mr. Perry Lang has reinterpreted it as clinching, a boxing term for a defensive move in which a boxer captures his or her opponents’ arms under his own, and holds on to prevent the opposition from punching. When a moist steak hits sizzling hot coals, it similarly will hang on for dear life.
The chef prepares the coals for cooking by making an even cooking surface — using a cast-iron skillet to lightly tamp them down to a uniform height of 4 to 6 inches. Then, just before placing the meat on the coals, he or she uses a hair dryer to gently blow away any bits of ash. If your extension cord doesn’t reach into the backyard, or you think it’s goofy, you also could fan the coals with a piece of cardboard.
“If you ‘close the gap’ between the meat and the coals,” Mr. Perry Lang explains in the cookbook, “there is no room for flame. Instead, the heat is transferred directly, and instantly, into the meat and any flames are smothered.” As for the tiny bit of ash that remains on the meat after cooking? It simply can be flicked off. Mr. Perry Lang views the powdery residue “almost as a seasoning.”
Dirty grilling has a long tradition and not just among cowboys and cavemen. Dwight D. Eisenhower liked his steak cooked this way, says Herbert Pankratz, archivist at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, Kan. He enjoyed it with the likes of golfing buddy Freeman Gosden, who voiced the character Amos on the Amos ‘n’ Andy radio show. Here’s the president’s recipe:
“Build a charcoal fire on the ground and let it burn until it is a bed of red hot coals. Get a sirloin steak 21/2 to 3 inches thick. Roll the steak in a mixture of fine salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Throw the steak in the fire. After about 10 minutes nudge it over once and let it stay in the fire for a total of about 20 minutes. Take it out, brush off, and slice on the diagonal.”
Julia Child, so famous for her sophisticated French cuisine, also was known to occasionally get dirty. She demonstrated “dirty steak” with a 3-pound rib-eye roast on the PBS series “In Julia’s Kitchen Cooking with Master Chefs.” In that 1996 episode, the husband/wife culinary team of Johanne Killeen and George Germon also prepare a “hot fanny” sauce, a spicy-sweet barbecue sauce made with caramelized onions, jalapeno and chicken stock.
If the queen of traditional cooking can take a walk on the wild side, so can you.
Clinching is best suited to cuts with a smoother muscle surface, such as New York strip or rump, that are cooked to rare or medium rare. But you also can use the technique on English-cut lamb chops, boneless pork chops and tenderloin roast. Ditto with chicken: Mr. Perry Lang offers a terrific recipe for Clinched Chicken Wingettes that includes a brine, butter baste and one of the saltiest (but delicious) seasoning rubs I’ve ever tasted.
To prepare dirty steak, you’ll need lump charcoal, which is made from big chunks of hardwood. (Briquettes are made from compressed coal dust, sawdust and other wood by-products, with a binder and other additives.) It’s best to start the fire with a chimney starter instead of lighter fluid so there are no off-putting flavors. Also, make sure the coals are white-hot before cooking; any flames and there could be flare-up. Don’t freak out if the coals stick to the meat when you flip them, as they easily shake off.
And if you can’t get past the thought of ash on your food? Simply place a thin grill or grate directly on the coals.
Clinched Strip Steak
Everyone agreed this was about the best steak they’d ever tasted, despite the tiny bit of ash that stuck to the meat. And what a feast for the nose. It smelled so good, my mailman wandered into the backyard to see what I was cooking.
I was probably a little too generous with the seasoning blend (it’s extremely salty), but the resulting crust was to-die-for. Remember to use tongs for turning. A fork will pierce the meat and let the juices run out.
4 10-ounce boneless strip steaks, at least 1 1/4-inches thick, fat trimmed to 1/4 inch
1/4 cup Four Seasons Blend (recipe follows)
An herb brush, made by securing a bunch of herb sprigs (rosemary, sage, etc.) to a dowel or handle of a wooden spoon (I used a chopstick)
1/2 cup Butter Baste (recipe follows)
Sea or kosher salt for finish
Board Dressing (recipe follows)
Bring refrigerated steaks to room temperature for approximately 1 hour.
Prepare a “mature and level” coal bed, with a clean thin grate or rack set over it if you like; the fire should be very hot.
Season steaks on both sides with the seasoning blend, then lightly moisten your hands with water and work the seasonings into the meat. Allow to stand for 5 minutes to develop a “meat paste.”
Fan or blow-dry excess ash from the coal fire.
Using the herb brush, brush steaks lightly with Butter Baste. Put them on the grill grate or directly on the coals and cook, without moving them, for 2 minutes. Turn steaks, baste lightly and cook for 2 minutes, then repeat 2 more times, basting the steaks each time they are flipped.
Lean steaks up against one another; on their sides, fat side down, and cook for 1 minute. Repeat on the other side, until the steaks reach an internal temperature of 110 to 115 degrees.
Meanwhile, pour the Board Dressing onto a cutting board (or mix it directly on the board). Finely chop the tip of the herb brush and mix the herbs into the dressing.
Transfer steaks to cutting board and turn them in the dressing to coat. Allow coated meat to rest for 5 minutes.
To serve, slice steaks 1/2 inch thick, turn each slice in the dressing to coat, and arrange on plates. Pour some of the board juices over each serving and finish with a sprinkling of salt.

Four seasons blend
A little bit of this blend goes a long way.
1 cup sea or kosher salt
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Transfer to a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder and pulse to the consistency of sand. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
Makes 1 cup.
Definitely not kind to your waist, but incredibly flavorful.
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into chunks
5 peeled and crushed garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until butter melts, then bring just to a simmer and simmer gently for 2 to 4 minutes. Let stand for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld.
Makes 1 cup.
You can improvise this recipe by adding your favorite chopped herbs (such as rosemary, thyme or sage) or scallions or mixing in grated shallots or garlic (use a Microplane). For a little fire, add finely chopped chiles.
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Sea or kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Tip of the herb basting brush, chopped very fine
Combine olive oil and parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. If using, add shallots, garlic, etc.
Clinched Chicken Wingettes
Make sure the coals are absolutely white or you’re guaranteed a flare-up. Even with blackened skin, the wings won my kids’ approval.
24 to 30 chicken wingettes (wing pieces, not including wing tips)
8 cups Very Basic Brine (recipe follows)
6 tablespoons Four Seasons Blend (at right)
1 cup Butter Baste (at right)
An herb brush, made by securing a bunch of herb sprigs (rosemary, sage, etc.) to a dowel or handle of a wooden spoon
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Finishing salt of your choice
Put the wings in a large heavy-duty plastic bag or medium bowl and add the brine. Seal bag or cover bowl and refrigerate at least 12 hours, and up to 16 hours.
Drain wings (discard brine) and pat lightly dry with paper towels. Allow to come to room temperature, approximately 30 minutes.
Prepare a “mature and level” coal bed, with a clean thin grate or rack set over it if desired; the fire should be very hot.
Season wings all over with seasoning blend, then lightly moisten your hands with water and work the seasonings into the wings. Let stand for 5 minutes to develop a “meat paste.”
Fan or blow-dry excess ash from the coal fire.
Toss wings with Butter Baste in a large bowl and arrange in a single layer in a grill basket; reserve Butter Baste in the bowl. Put basket on the grill grate or directly on coals and cook for 3 minutes. Turn basket, baste the wings with the herb brush, and cook for 3 minutes, then repeat 2 more times, basting each time the basket is flipped.
Transfer basket to a platter and allow wings (still inside) to rest for 5 minutes.
Put basket back on grill grate or coals and cook for 2 minutes, then flip over and cook for 2 minutes more or until wings are crispy and cooked through.
Remove chicken from grill and carefully open basket, teasing out any pieces that have stuck. Transfer to platter, sprinkle with chives and salt, and serve.
Serves 8 to 10.
For the brine
Combine 1/4 cup sea or kosher salt, 3 cups water, 2 cups apple juice, 10 peeled and crushed garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Transfer to a bowl or other container and allow to cool, then refrigerate overnight before using.

Janoski’s Farm typically picks the first of its sweet corn the first week of July, just in time for Independence Day cookouts. So imagine customers’ delight when they discovered heaps of silk-topped ears in the Clinton farm market on June 16 — roughly three weeks ahead of schedule.
Doesn’t the farmers’ axiom have summer’s favorite veggie only knee-high this early?
“I know,” said Patty Janoski, with a chuckle, when I tracked her down between customers at the store on Route 30 to see what gives. “This is the earliest we’ve had it in the 50-year history of the farm.”
It’s so early, in fact, that many shoppers were just as surprised as the farmers.
At Kaelin Farms in Franklin Park, where the daily harvest began on June 23, or about 10 days ahead of schedule, sales were uncharacteristically sluggish the first three or four days corn was available.
“People didn’t know what to make of it,” said Curt Kaelin. “We didn’t sell that much.” (The price is $6.75 per dozen, 25 cents more than last year.)
The first tender ears also arrived earlier than expected at Schramm Farms in Jeannette, Westmoreland County, where white and butter-and-sugar varieties are selling for $6.50 a dozen. Staff there started picking on June 27.
Overall, it’s shaping up to be a pretty good year for local corn in Western Pennsylvania, thanks to a mild winter and the warmest March in Pittsburgh meteorological history (the average temperature was 51.5 degrees, and there was one four-day stretch where it reached into the 80s). Those ideal conditions means farmers were was able to sow the first of their butter-and-sugar (bi-color), yellow and white varieties even before St. Patrick’s Day, and see the first green shoots before Easter.
“Last year, we didn’t even plant until April 7,” said Mr. Kaelin.
As a result, consumers can expect abundant supplies of Pennsylvania sweet corn at farmers and roadside markets, and in local supermarkets, according to William Troxell of the Pennsylvania Vegetable Marketing and Research Program. (Giant Eagle expects to stock local corn by mid-July; look for signs indicating the farms it’s from.)
All this is good news for those among us who can’t imagine a summer that doesn’t include salty, buttery ears of corn on the cob, corn salad, corn chowder, corn relish, corn pudding . . . .
Whether this early bounty will continue into the dog days of summer depends on the weather. Corn gets replanted into July so the crop continues into early October. While it loves sunny, hot weather, it also loves (and needs) water. So even farms that irrigate are hoping for stormy skies in the next few weeks, even if it ruins the picnics and barbecue at which the cobs will be eaten.
“Definitely, the lack of water is an issue,” said Ms. Janoski.
Mr. Kaelin, when I caught up with him last week on his cell phone, was busy moving irrigation pipe into his family’s corn fields, and he agreed, “It needs to rain.” And not just because the plants will wither in dry conditions.
When it gets hot and dry, he said, wildlife start searching a little harder outside the woods for something to eat — and there’s not much you can do to keep deer out of a cornfield that’s kept green by irrigation.
So here’s hoping for a few drenching rainstorms.
In the meantime, here are some quick and easy recipes that celebrate the cobs and the kernels.
Worth noting: The sugar in corn’s kernels start changing to starch almost as soon as you pick it (40 percent within six hours), so for best flavor, try to eat corn the same day you buy it. If you must store it, place it with husks still on in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to two days.
Chiang Mai Sweet Corn Fritters with Cucumber Relish
You might not immediately make a love connection between curry and corn, but they actually pair really, really well in this Thai-inspired fritter. Do yourself a favor and double the relish, which I made with pickling cukes I picked up at the Market Square Farmers Market — you’ll want to spoon it on top of burgers and hot dogs. You’ll find rice flour in your grocer’s organic section.
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 medium-size unpeeled cucumber, halved and seeded, and sliced thin
1 small shallot, sliced thinly
1 tablespoon red curry paste
2 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten together
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 cup rice flour
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 large ears corn, cooked, kernels removed
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
8 cups vegetable oil for frying
Make relish: Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Add cucumber and shallot. Refrigerate for 25 to 30 minutes, until pickled.
Make fritters: In a medium-size bowl, mix curry paste, eggs, coconut milk, rice flour, coconut, salt and sugar. Fold in corn, then cilantro.
Heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees in a deep fryer or medium-size deep pot. Use a medium-sized spoon to scoop 4 to 6 rounded tablespoons of corn batter into the oil at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden, 2 to 4 minutes each, turning frequently to cook evenly. Transfer the fritters onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt.
Serve hot with cucumber relish. Serves 4.

Grilled Corn on the Cob with Piquant Sauce
Corn on the cob is delicious, but can it also be entertaining? John Schlimm, whose family has been in the (Straub) beer business since the 1870s, proves it can in “Grilling Vegan Style,” a comprehensive vegan grilling cookbook and handbook. “Piquant is really just another word for rowdy,” he writes, “which is really just another way of saying FUN.”
2 tablespoons corn oil
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ears corn, husked
1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic, peeled and pressed or finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice, from about 1/2 lime
Heat grill to medium-high.
Prepare the corn: In a small bowl, whisk together the corn oil, chili powder and salt. Rub corn all over with the mixture. Wrap corn in aluminum foil and grill it, turning often with tongs, for about 25 minutes. Remove foil and finish grilling right on the grates, about 5 minutes. OR peel back the husks, remove the silk, season the corn, then pull the husks back over the kernels before grilling for a nice smoky flavor.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. Slather the grilled corn with the mayonnaise mixture and serve at once. Serves 4.

Roasted Corn Salsa
This quick-cook salsa is a good topping for fajitas or tacos, but beware: it’s spicy. It’s ideal for late summer, when both tomatoes and corn are at their peak.
2 ears fresh corn, shucked and silked or 1 1/2 cups frozen corn
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 small jalapeno
2 medium, ripe tomatoes, chopped
6 scallions, white and green parts trimmed and thinly sliced
Hold corn upright in a large mixing bowl and use a chef’s knife to slice off kernels. (If using frozen corn, cook it directly from the freezer.)
Heat a large, dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic cloves and jalapeno and let them cook undisturbed until tinged with black, turning them 2 or 3 times. Transfer garlic and jalapeno to a cutting board, and add corn. Cook, stirring frequently, until kernels are speckled brown and fragrant.
Transfer corn to a medium mixing bowl. Peel garlic and chop it finely. Seed jalapeno if you prefer milder heat and chop it finely. Gently toss with corn. Add tomatoes, scallions, cilantro, lime juice and salt and toss well. Taste the salsa for lime juice and salt and serve it at room temperature.
Makes 2 cups.

If polenta and a cornmeal souffle had a baby, I’ll bet it would look and taste a lot like spoon bread, a rich, creamy cornmeal pudding that originated more than a century ago in the South. This modern version from Martha Stewart gets extra flavor with onion and spicy sausage.
I substituted bulk Italian sausage for the chorizo, which gave the dish a pinkish color, but you also could leave the meat out completely if you want to go vegetarian.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for baking dish, divided
1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
5 ounces chorizo, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 cups water
1 cup white cornmeal
1 1/2 cups fresh (from 2 large ears) or frozen corn kernels (do not thaw)
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
5 large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add chorizo and saute until onion is soft and chorizo is lightly browned, about 4 minutes more. Drain excess fat and transfer mixture to a medium bowl and let cool.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring water to a boil in small saucepan. Slowly pour in cornmeal, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add to sausage mixture. Stir in corn kernels, salt and remaining tablespoon butter, and combine well.
Whisk together eggs and cream. Stir into sausage mixture until incorporated. Pour into a buttered 2-quart souffle dish or deep-pie plate. Bake until set and top is golden brown, about 1 hour. Serve hot or at room temperature. Serves 8.

Curried Corn Chowder
1 tablespoon extra-light olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
1 large clove garlic, chopped
2 14-ounce cans chicken broth
1 cup chunky mild salsa
2 cups fresh or frozen whole kernel corn
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/4 teaspoons curry powder, or to taste
1 cup finely crushed baked tortilla chips (measured after crushed)
15-ounce can cream-style corn
Salt and pepper to taste
Sour cream or low-fat plain Greek yogurt for garnish
Heat oil in saucepan. Add onion, celery and garlic; saute until onion is translucent. Stir in broth, salsa, corn, cumin, curry and tortilla chips. Bring to boil; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in cream-style corn, salt and pepper. Heat briefly. Garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

Since helping people get going again as quickly as possible is our utmost priority we are grateful to receive feedback from Mrs Smith, who got stuck in her VW Golf whilst out taking her dog for a walk at Brough Park, Congleton. “Thanks heavens, your man was really professional and helpful.

Top marks!” Thank you Mrs Smith, please try to remember that it’s diesel and not petrol and we are always here to help.
The wrong fuel was the problem, until we called Wrong Fuel Help in Congleton
Draining the fuel from a Honda CRV on a dark rainy night is something that must be a bit worrisome at the best of times.

An appetizer is part of a meal that’s served before the main dish. You may serve your dinner guests an appetizer of crab-stuffed mushrooms when they initially arrive for dinner. Typically, an appetizer is a small serving of food– just a couple of attacks– indicated to be eaten before a meal, and commonly shared by several individuals. You can additionally call an appetizer a starters. An appetizer is implied to boost your hunger, making you extra starving for your meal. This is where words comes from, essentially implying “something to sharpen the cravings” or “something to appetize.”.

King’s Cross is not exactly known for its green spaces and wildlife spotting opportunities. But hidden away down a side street behind the station is Camley Street Natural Park – a wild oasis at the heart of the urban jungle that is Granary Square.
It’s a great spot for some peaceful reflection and to get away from the craziness of the big smoke for a few hours. It’s also great for wildlife lovers – butterflies, honey bees, swans, moorhens, kingfishers and the occasional spotted hipster can be found here. And yes, you might even see terrapins.
If all that bird spotting is making you a bit peckish (ahem), then there’s the veggie Wildwood cafe open during weekends. This little gem has top environmental credentials – it’s powered on renewable energy made from your food waste.
Camley Street is run by London Wildlife Trust – a charity dedicated to preserving the capital’s wild spaces and biodiversity. The park is just one of 35 reserves they manage across Greater London.
If you want to donate, volunteer or find out about the great events and projects the Trust is running over the summer, check out their website.

Donald Trump’s former manager, Brad Parscale, has been hospitalized after ‘barricading himself in his home and threatening to shoot himself’ local police say.
On Sunday afternoon September 27, Police were called to a Fort Lauderdale home owned by Bradley and his wife, Candice Parscale.
According to reports, his wife allegedly called the police worried that Brad was suicidal and had firearms.
According to Police Chief Karen Dietrich the encounter between police and Parscale was brief.
“We went out and it was very short. We went and got him help,” Dietrich said.
She added that Parscale did not threaten police and was willingly detained before being taken to hospital.
Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis told the Sentinel that he received a message saying there was a SWAT team at Parscale’s house as at Sunday.
“It was indicated to me that he had weapons,” the Mayor said.
In a statement released Monday morning, Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh said;
“Brad Parscale is a member of our family and we all love him. We are ready to support him and his family in any way possible.”

How Often Should Happy Couples Take Vacations, Kiss, Argue,and Have Sex?
A new study according to Headwater Holidays has examined just how happy 'happy couples' are. Experts think they have found the key to a successful, happy marriage. Although cuddling here and there, kissing a couple times, and holding hands helps; there is a little more to it.
Happy couples should go on at least two vacations annually and two or more long weekend trips. They say "I love you" four and half times a week, but try to say it as much as you can. Lingering kisses six times a week is key to keeping the spark. They go out to dinner three times a month and go out for drinks together just as often. Happy couples go out with friends WITHOUT their spouse twice a month. Two deep, meaningful conversations and one healthy argument each week helps keep each other in tune with the relationship. Last but not least, successful couples have/try to have sex at least twice a week... and cuddle five and a half times. Remember, surprising your spouse with a romantic gesture a couple times a month is a great way to remind that person how much you care about them. Give your relationship a mini-makeover by squeezing these simple, love gestures into your every day routine.
Thank you Headwater Holidays for you interesting take on spicy relationships. I, Jill The Almost Invisible Intern, would like to know if there really is a perfect relationship? Can couples really be happy 24/7? No, I don't think there is a perfect relationship by any means, but I do feel that every person can always do a little more to heat things up. With the busy world we live in, it is extremely hard to make time to go out to dinner, have deep, meaningful conversations, and take long weekend vacations. I believe much of the reason why relationships are put on the back burner is because of our fast-paced surroundings and the media. It's so easy to leave your relationship in the dust when we have television, internet, etc to run to. At the end of the day be sure to remember that that special person was put into your life for a reason, and you once had very strong feelings for them. Try to reconnect with those feelings and see where your relationship goes from there. A happy couple equals happy individuals!

NIST Facilities for Calibrating Intravascular Brachytherapy Sources
C. G. Soares, M. G. Mitch, B. M. Coursey, S. M. Seltzer
Small photon- and beta-particle sources are being used in the treatment of heart disease to prevent reclosing of arteries after angioplasty. The challenges to the radiation physicist standardizing the dosimetry of these sources are the very close distances to the very small sources at which dosimetry is required, and the large number of isotopes and source geometries now under active investigation. Research at NIST focuses on dosimetry methods to meet these challenges including the use of precision-motion automated dosimetry measurement systems with miniature detectors, the development of primary standards for absorbed dose, and develop of methods to transfer source calibrations to users. The measurement systems available for these measurements at NIST include extrapolation ionization chambers with a variety of collection electrode areas, high-resolution radiochromatic film densitometry systems, micro-scintillators, well ionization chamber calibrators, thermoluminescent dosimeters, and a photo-stimulated luminescence imager. Work with these measurement systems will be discussed and measurement results presented.
This abstract was presented at the 33rd Annual Midyear Meeting, "Instrumentation, Measurements, and Electronic Dosimetry", Abstracts Session, 1/30/2000 - 2/2/2000, held in Virginia Beach, VA.

“Seven for a secret, never to be told.”
This was my first Ruth Ware book, but sadly it wasn’t a hit with me. But looking at my friend’s reviews, I do think I might be in the minority with my feelings. I will say that the atmosphere was eerie and perfect. I will also say that the writing and prose was beautiful. But I’m not someone who reads a lot of thrillers or mysteries, but even I could see all the reveals in this one coming a mile away.
“One for Joy. One for love. One for the future.”
The Death of Mrs. Westaway is a story of a girl named Hal who has been grieving the loss of her mother for the past three years. She has had to take up the mantle of her mother’s psychic readings and tarot spreads for the community, making ends meet, and barely being able to hide from the loan sharks who she received money from when she was desperate. But she thinks her luck could change the day that she receives a letter, letting her know about the death of a woman she has never known and an inheritance that could not only solve her money problems, but change her life forever.
Hal feels like she is good enough at reading people, and telling them what they want to hear, that she might actually stand a chance at convincing them that she is a long lost relative, deserving of a fortune. So, Hal uses the very last of her money to attend the funeral of this mysterious woman she has never known, and travels to the estate, Trepassen. But she soon realizes that her mother has visited this place before, and Hal desperately tries to find out what went on over two decades ago that eventually led to her mother not only fleeing, but to never mention any of her past to Hal.
“Never believe your own lies…”
We also are able to see actual glimpses of the past, and events that happened at Trepassen that help piece together everything a bit more. And Ruth Ware is able to add some really amazing, and really creepy, parallels that make you feel really unsettled while reading. Again, the atmosphere of this book is really well done, and I couldn’t help feeling claustrophobic in that attic myself.
This all sounds super good right? Possibly haunted house? Unsolved murders? Family mysteries? Tarot readings? But that’s about where the coolness ends; with the premise. Hal leads the reader to believe she is so very perceptive, but she literally ignores every single thing that would help her unravel this mystery. And not to get into spoiler territory, but you couldn’t have paid me enough to stay in that attic! Especially after the light, the window, the attempted murder. Like, Hal just ended up being another, typical, stupid character in another typical, stupid murder mystery. And I’m extra let down because I felt like this had so much potential.
And this story wraps up with so many loose ends! What happened to the loan sharks? What happened with the will? What happened with the rest of the family? What were her future plans? Why would a certain somebody help her when they had no real motive? I don’t know friends, but this was just a big letdown for me.
Overall, this was just an okay read for me. I didn’t dislike it, but I disliked more things about it than I liked. But again, I am totally in the minority with my feelings based on the Goodreads reviews I’ve been seeing. Another thing I’ll say is that this reminds me of an Agatha Christie novel, another author I’ve never really enjoyed. So, if you do – then I’d probably really recommend this one to you, too!

The construction of tall reinforced concrete chimneys has been increasing, worldwide, in recent times due to industrialization. These tall and slender structures are usually wind-sensitive, requiring a dynamic analysis, to account for a proper assessment of responses under along-wind and across-wind directions and also under seismic loading. The modelling is usually carried out assuming the base (usually raft foundation supported on soil) as fixed. However, in reality, the base is compliant, due to compressibility of the soil, and this can significantly alter the dynamic characteristics of the chimney. This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of modification in the fundamental natural frequency of tapered RC chimneys in the height range of 100m to 400m due to the effect of soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI) through a parametric study. The parameters considered for the investigation are the height to mean base diameter ratio of the chimney, rigidity of raft foundation and the flexibility of soil. The flexibility of the supporting soil is represented by a series of Winkler springs, attached to the bottom of the raft foundation, corresponding to soft, medium and hard soils. The results of modal analysis of the three dimensional finite element model of the integrated soil-raft foundation-chimney system are compared with that of a chimney with fixed base.

On December 8, 2006 – ten years ago today – my students at Linden Corner School in Nashville presented a winter solstice celebration for the school community called The Feast of Stephen.
The Feast of Stephen incorporated copious music as well as dance and theatrical elements, and every student from grades 3-8 was a performer. Students participated as singers, instrumentalists, actors, dancers, created props and costumes – preparing for this event consumed most of my time in October and November of 2006, and as the night of the show came near the anticipation and excitement among the children, parents, and myself was palpable.
Here is a description of The Feast of Stephen: an example of a winter solstice performance with elementary and middle school students that incorporates many of the elements described in this series of articles. Included are the original scripts of both The Feast of Stephen and the Linden Corner School Mummer’s Play, a copy of the original program, and a video of the performance.
Part of a series of articles on
Preparing a School Winter Solstice Performance
In dulci jubilo is a famous medieval Christmas carol. It is a macaronic carol (i.e. the text is in a mixture of languages): the original text alternates between German and Latin. The words are attributed to the German mystic (and student of Meister Eckhart) Heinrich Seuse (1295 – 1366), and describes his vision of singing angels dancing with him.
It is one of our oldest, loveliest, and most important carols. The lilting, singsongy, exuberant melody and the relative ease with which they were able to learn it made it popular with my students of all ages – from elementary through high school. Although not a piece I included as an annual repeating feature of Winter Solstice performances, I would program In dulci jubilo every few years, and most of my students sang or played it in a Winter Solstice production at some point.
Preparing a Winter Solstice Celebration For Your Students
For many people, the idea of Christmas in July is something of a spoof or a stunt – stores have sales or bars have happy hour specials, that sort of thing. When I took a brief hiatus from teaching in the late 1990s and ran the CD store at Barnes & Noble in Clearwater, on July mornings before the store opened I would sometimes play The Klezmonauts’ Oy to the World! – a raucous high-energy collection of Klezmer versions of traditional Christmas carols – to begin the day with good humor and fun.
But for many music teachers, summer time is the season to plan curriculum for the school year to come, and for years, Christmas in July to me meant: the beginning of half of each year spent planning, preparing, and executing the fall semester. In several schools I taught at, this inevitably culminated in a grand holiday performance that included all my students, usually held in the beginning of December and inevitably including anywhere from a fair amount to a veritable cornucopia of holiday-themed music and other forms of celebration.
This is the first holiday season in years that I have not spent consumed by the preparations and execution of a big school performance. Over the last 25 years I directed many of these, with students of all grade levels K-12. In fact, for much of my adult life, I have spent most of each fall listening to, arranging, teaching, and rehearsing Christmas and holiday music – beginning as early as August in some years.
However, in the last few months when I found myself reminiscing about it, I realized that it was already far too late to write anything that would be of any immediate use or interest to choir directors and elementary or middle school music teachers who may read this – most initial planning for these extravaganzas happens in the summer.
I decided to put off writing in earnest about my experiences producing these performances – and my thoughts on how and why to do so – until next summer, when it will hopefully be more useful. But so as not to gloss over the whole issue without any consideration at all, we will content ourselves with a single post this season about a carol whose performance became a hallowed and beloved tradition for so many of my students over the years. I am talking about, of course, The Boar’s Head Carol.

|Affiliation||The Republic of the Sphere|
|Knight-Errant of the Republic|
Raul Ortega (b. 3??? - d. 3???) is a Knight-Errant MechWarrior for The Republic of the Sphere. He used to be a militia reservist in the Achernar Republic Standing Guard before the events that happened on Achernar.
Ever since Raul was a small child, he wanted to become a MechWarrior. He did not care about the allure of battle, he wanted to become a pilot because with the reduction of these machines of war, he would become a legend.
He was in a final test between himself and his rival to become the militia's newest 'Mech pilot. The battle came down to the wire of who would win and who would lose. Unfortunately, he lost to his rival. In losing, he became the planet's reservist 'Mech pilot, while his rival became the active pilot..
Invasion of Achernar
Raul got his chance to be a front line 'Mech pilot during the opening minutes of the invasion of his home world. The Steel Wolves destroyed the planet's high-speed monorail which was carrying Raul's rival. With the pilot presumed dead, Raul was activated from reserves to pilot the Legionnaire to fight back any advance that the enemy may try.
During the course of the battle, Raul became more and more the lead strategist and commander of all militia forces on the planet. After the death of Kyle Powers, Raul knew that the militia would not be able to hold out for much longer, and if they did fight another major battle that there wouldn't be enough defense force left to repel any future invasions. He came up with a cunning plan to plant fake explosives at the working HPG station on the planet and make it seem like they destroyed the only real tactical reason to control the planet.
With the withdrawal of the Steel Wolves and the Swordsworn forces on the planet, he used the "destroyed" station to talk to Knight-Errant Janella Lakewood who praised Ortega for his cunning plan and for it actually succeeding. She said that with his bravery and resourcefulness to protect the planet, that she would be putting his name forward to be promoted to the rank of Knight-Errant to help defend Republic planets that were in need of support.
Career as Knight
In 3135, Raul, by advise of Janella Lakewood lead a group of Republic forces to Federated Suns planet of New Hessen, to help the Federated troops to defeat Liaoists mercenaries attacking the world. Soon, he returned to Achernar..
The militia on Achernar had a couple of Legionnaires which all of the MechWarriors, both active and reservists, were to pilot in any emergency situation. During the invasion by the Steel Wolves, he piloted the Legionnaire most of the campaign. Later, he was able to pilot Knight-Errant Kyle Powers' Jupiter. Which became his with his Mech after was promoted to Knight from Janella Lakewood.

When people lose 75% or more of their wealth, they are 50% more likely to die early than people whose wealth remains steady, according to new research.
In the study, published Tuesday in the journal JAMA, researchers examined how losing financial stability impacts a person’s health over time. Lindsay Pool, a research assistant professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, and her colleagues looked at more than 8,700 people, ages 51-61, who were participating in a national study. The researchers looked at how experiencing a “negative wealth shock”—defined as losing 75% or more of their total asset value, including things like a pension, home or business, over two years—affected a person’s mortality.
Over a 20-year follow-up period, 25% of people experienced a negative wealth shock; those men and women were at a much higher risk for death from all causes.
“This is something millions of people go through,” says Pool. “It’s not really a rare event.”
The researchers also found that when they looked at a group of low-income adults, their risk of death over 20 years was 67%. Poverty is known to impact a person’s health and mortality, but the researchers were surprised that losing wealth had a similar impact on a person’s risk for early death as having no wealth to begin with. The link between financial loss and risk of death was also the same across people’s initial income levels. “This is not a study of the 1%,” says Pool.
The study did not look at how the loss of wealth directly impacted people’s health. However, “the hypothesis is that wealth shock is a stressful event, and chronic stress over the long-term can affect pretty much every organ system,” says Pool.
The findings have serious implications for many Americans who may undergo a financial crisis, and the research underscores the link between health and financial instability. “People don’t want to lose their jobs,” says Pool. It’s not on them, “but on policymakers to figure out a way to intervene.”

At Sony Pictures took over Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con tonight, fans gathered to see fresh new footage of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse.
ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis was in the panel and revealed additional footage was shown. A description of the shown footage follows.
Miles get dressed for school as his pants shrink. He realizes he might have hit puberty. As he walks through school continuing his thought, text boxes showing the thoughts pop up on the screen like a comic panel. In school, he gets his hand stuck in Gwen's hair and can't get it out. After he fails to get his hand out, the nurse has to shave her head to get him free from her.
At night, Miles visits Peter's grave and apologizes for not doing what he wanted him to do. He thinks he can't do it alone. At his own grave, Peter Parker approaches from behind. Miles accidentally knocks him. As police approach, Miles grabs Peter and flees. Peter accidentally web shoots onto a train and they both end up being dragged with it. It plays like a music video with witty beats of dialogue interspersed.
Later, Peter is tied to a punching bag. Miles realizes the man is Peter Parker and questions why he isn't dead. He goes on to figure out that Peter is from a different universe and can teach him how to be Spider-Man. Peter freed himself.
Later, there is a hall of Spider-Man suits. Kingpin reveals himself, his body is massive. He is going to hunt Spider-Man. The two flee from a lab and use trees in the woods to run. They are pursued by armed scientists with laser guns. After getting caught in webs, Gwen Stacy saves them, and says she is from another dimension.
The Lizard chases them in a quick cut. Explosions in New York City. Action beats.
In a Spider-Cave, Spider-Man Noir greets them, with Penny Parker her giant robot voiced by Komiko Glenn, and Spider-Ham voiced by John Mulaney.
Talking about Into the Spider-Verse, producer Chris Miller recently spoke to how the animated movie will focus on a young Miles Morales growing into a superhero.
"It's his Brooklyn upbringing, it's his culture." producer Chris Miller explained. "He's half-Puerto Rican, half-African-American, he's a product of a happy and alive family, he's 13-years-old. All that tells the kind of hero he's going to become, and we're going to get to experience the Spider-Man legend through this new and exciting lens."
"To bring Miles to life we worked with an actor that we've known for a little while and have been dying to work with," Lord echoed. "[He] gave a performance that was so rich and so genuine that Miles became everything that we have envisioned and much, much more."0comments
"I'm sure I'm not the only kid who imagined himself being Spider-Man," Moore revealed. "I mean, Spider-Man is the most beloved superhero of all time. In fact — this is a true story, actually — five years ago in my journal, I did write, 'I am Miles Morales, I am Spider-Man,' and now I get to play him. It's literally like Christmas for me. And as Stan Lee said when he first created Spider-Man," he added, "'it's really true that anyone can wear the mask."
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will be released in theaters on December 14th.

In the last video update, we had multiple NPCs randomly walking around, which was a big step towards the initial engine for the demo. They all looked the same though, like a bunch of clones, twins or ‘Malkoviches’. The latest work on the engine remedies that by creating the look of the characters by semi-randomly combining and coloring different body parts.
Watch it in HD!
As you can see, none of the characters look exactly the same. Some of them look a bit similar, though, but that’s just because this test only has 2 types of shirts, 2 pants, 2 shoes, 2 hair styles and 6 hats to choose from (the guard uniforms aren’t combined with the other clothing types, so I’m not counting the uniform pants, shirts and shoes in this). Imagine the level of variety that can be produced with 10 types of each clothing part instead of just 2!
It does take quite some time to prepare all the various sprites for this – each character frame consists of about 15 sprites and there are 10 frames in this animation and a bunch of different sprites for each body part, so if you do the math, it really adds up – but I think the results are definitely worth it. I’ve also optimized my work flow in creating these sprites, so I can knock them out pretty quickly now.
I’m currently working on creating the sprites for the other seven directions (well, actually just 4, as three of them are just existing sprites mirrored), as well as for the running animation and the neutral position. This’ll probably take considerable time, so it might be awhile before the next video update – unless I do some work on other parts of the engine that are worth sharing. We’ll see.

A bear has entered the patient’s ward at the District Hospital last night. The animal sneaked into the gynecology ward of the hospital at 11 pm on Thursday, the Hospital said.
Hospital doctor Soning Lama said the bear has been locked inside the ward with the help of police by shutting the door after it was detected inside the empty ward.
According to Lama the bear entered the ward through the backdoor.
Preparation is being made to rescue the wild animal in coordination with the National Trust for Nature Conservation, said Ramesh Yadav, the Warden at the Kanchanjangha Area Conservation Council.
It is estimated that the bear might have descended to the district headquarters from the upper reaches to escape cold.

On August 4, the governing body of Crook County Oregon, the Crook County Court, considered letting Crook County voters vote on the issue of Greater Idaho at the November 2021 special election. There was standing room only in the County Annex, which holds 50 people, and some were forced to wait outside. Judge Seth Crawford, with Commissioner Jerry Brummer nodding in emphatic approval, vowed to place a question regarding Greater Idaho on the ballot if the Attorney General of Oregon re-issues an opinion stating that, pursuant to state law ORS 203.035, Oregon counties have the authority to place non-binding advisory questions on a ballot.
At least six Oregon counties and cities have placed advisory questions on ballots since 2018, according to a press release at greateridaho.org, but only one was regarding the Greater Idaho concept. The group’s press release says “waiting for the re-issue of a standing opinion is totally unnecessary but we thank the Court for their promise.”
Currently, Citizens for Greater Idaho is requesting county and city governments place advisory questions on the ballot in: Coos County, Crook County, Wheeler County, Gilliam County, Wallowa County, and the cities of La Pine, Redmond, Maupin, Rogue River, Gold Hill, Central Point, Eagle Point, and Shady Cove.
Jerry Jackman of the Crook County chapter of Citizens for Greater Idaho wrote, “We believe strongly in the right of the people of Crook County to voice their opinion on moving Oregon’s border, at the ballot box, and will continue to pursue getting an advisory question on the ballot.”

As a rule, plots of land are not encouraging their large size, so in order to preserve as much free space on it is erected a compact cottages. Not always home of this size able to provide a comfortable and convenient stay. Creating a project the interior layout of country houses 6×6, you need to think over even the smallest nuances in order to provide comfort and convenience for all residents.
The layout of suburban homes of small size – class, in which we need to be patient, accuracy of calculations and balanced decision making. The most important thing is to clearly define for yourself what money you are willing to spend on the future design of the house, and will you have enough strength and knowledge to properly plan the interior space.
It is very important to be able to see the situation in the future. After a few years the number of families may vary, will have children or grandchildren, and not to expose Dom to global alterations in the future, it is better to foresee a possible layout options.
The layout of the country house 6×6, typically involves consideration of the following criteria:
- the largest possible area of the future house;
- the population of people in the building;
- the presence of young children.
Also should determine in advance whether a holiday home a temporary home for a summer vacation, or the life in it will flow all year round.
When planning rooms in a private house, it is very important to calculate every square meter to have all the space in the house was involved and was endowed with functional features.
The algorithm of actions for the layout of rooms in a private house can be represented as follows:
- Define the number of floors of the future building.
- Select building materials that will help realize the planned project.
- Draw a diagram of the layout of the rooms inside the house.
- Choose the most convenient design of the porch.
- Determine the configuration of the roof and type of roofing material for construction.
To determine the layout of single storey buildings much easier. Traditionally, the internal space of such a garden accommodates the Central room, combined with kitchen, several bedrooms and a combined bathroom and toilet. If the size of the garden allows, you bathroom do separate, and perhaps an opportunity for the arrangement of the baths or saunas.
For the garden, which has a loft, the options of the interior layout much more. Typically, the attic space is equipped as a full second floor and use it for arrangement of guest bedrooms, gym, library, study, game rooms and much more.
The internal layout of a small two-storey cottages can be supplemented with spacious terraces. You can also plan for extra space as a bathroom or closet.
As practice shows, with proper planning, even a small structure measuring 6*6 m, can accommodate a minimum of three rooms: a spacious living room, bedroom and kitchen, and a bathroom and toilet.
Traditionally, living for giving is not just a place to stay. It can serve as an extra bedroom for guests, a dining room, a games room for children. Furniture for a room is better to choose functional and compact, so nothing is cluttering the small space of the room.
The easy option would be transformers sofas, folding chairs and tables, built-in furniture. Each of these elements is intended to solve the problem of a small space, but at the same time an attractive appearance makes the room cozy and stylish. If the area of the house and the design features of the building, the Central elements for living room can be a fireplace.
In the country house very comfortable will be the entrance to the kitchen from the street. Thus, it is possible to shorten the route, which have to be overcome serving table outside in the summer time.
Calculating the required area for the kitchen is very important to consider the parameters of the used appliances. Stove, fridge, sink, Desk – all of this must enough to flow freely throughout the area, so the cooking process was comfortable.
Also consider the availability of sufficient natural and artificial lighting.
Bedrooms in the summer house it is better to plan small. This approach will significantly save on heating in winter. For recreation do not need much. Enough to equip a full bed, and have a small wardrobe.
If the layout of the cottages provided for the existence of the attic, then its area is most convenient to arrange a cozy bedroom. Despite that, the ceiling in this bedroom will have a sloping shape, the area of the attic allows you to accommodate all the necessary items of furniture.
For comfortable accommodation bath, toilet and washbasin is enough space in 4m2. Bathroom walls covered with tiles. It is hygienic, beautiful and convenient to clean. Ceiling can be suspended. As a cheaper option, consider the ceiling is sheathed with a plastic lining.
To be able to sit comfortably in such a small bathroom, the door should open outwards. To save space, instead of a standard bath, you can install compact shower cubicle.
Using such simple secrets to planning a bathroom in a private home, even in a small area you can arrange a comfortable and convenient space. There might be a place to put washing machine.
In the case when the bathroom area is about 3 m2, most likely, have to abandon the soul of the washing machine, leaving only the faucet for washing and toilet.
For a compact country house, the stairs to the second floor is best positioned on the outside. Thus, you can save home interior space.
If the size of the garden allows, you have a a flight of stairs in the Central room, having arranged compactly around her place to stay.
The space under the stairs is not the place to leave it. Under her perfectly placed closets for varied clothing and household items. Also you can consider the location under the flight of stairs office area.
The style in which you plan the interior design in country house, largely determine the taste of the owners. I advise you to abandon the habit of pulling off to the country all the unnecessary and obsolete pieces of furniture and interior design. Never be able to achieve a harmonious and exciting design. The best option would be the minimalist interior. Simple, functional furniture of natural wood, lots of light and bright did in the form of textiles, paintings, carpets. They create mood and add coziness to the rooms.
If for you it is important to preserve old things, make sure they were in proper condition, and added style to the room, and not turned it into a waste bin.
Look antique retro interior. Choosing this style in the design of the villas focus on furniture and interior items, leaving the walls and ceiling white and the floor covered with a simple wooden Board.
A good decoration for living room and bedrooms villas will be fresh flowers, little figurines, paintings, hand-embroidered or crocheted doilies. As a rule, such things become unnecessary in stylish urban apartments. In the country, combined these elements to create a unique, cozy and very comfortable for relaxing interior.
Planning the country house special attention should be paid to the location of the furnace or fireplace. Such an element in the layout of the 6×6 summer house with the stove will be not only decoration, but also can be used for heating and cooking.
Tempered furnace erected from red bricks. Laying a furnace are best left to the masters of professionals.
If for any reason there is no possibility to arrange of the brick oven, you can use ready-made designs, made of metal, they are also suitable when planning summer house 7×7 with a stove.
In small country houses with an area of 6×6 m, have furnaces or fireplaces are practical only in the middle of the living room, thus it is possible to solve several problems: to conduct a zoning, and to achieve uniform heating of the entire room.
Large fireplace in the corner of the room or along one wall, also has a place, but in this case, you need to remember that Parking will only occur on one half of the room.
Placing the kitchen stove along one wall, it is possible to heat not only the kitchen area, but adjoining room.
The small size of the country house – is not a reason to turn it into a temporary shelter, depriving them of any comfort or cosiness. By thoroughly considering the living space of the villas, you can ensure that even in a small house you will enjoy spending time with friends, relax and get pleasure from communication with nature.
After you have selected the layout of the house, it is possible to prepare for the construction of the furnace. How to install the stove and chimney in country house, find out in the next video

LIVE: Experts Explain Lack of Indian Ocean Tsunami Following Indonesia Earthquake
Live Update: 11:01 a.m. By nightfall in Indonesia, the country has grown increasingly quiet. The earthquake did not cause any major damage. No tsunamis were reported with only small waves of 80 cm reaching land.
9:35 a.m Experts said that today's earthquakes that hit the Indian Ocean were geologically different than the 2004 earthquake that lead to the fatal tsunami. In today's quakes, the tectonic plates slide against each other horizontally, creating more of a vibration in the water. In the 2004 quake, the plates slide more vertically, creating a massive wave.
A massive earthquake 8.6 magnitude earthquake was recorded off the coast of Indonesia earlier today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) has released a tsunami alert across the Indian Ocean.
The 8.6 magnitude earthquake was followed by a second 8.3 magnitude quake. There have been no reports of damage yet although a Thai government official reported a large wave hitting Koh Miang island, off Phang Nga.
The PTWC, which is responsible for tsunami alters in the Pacific, reported that if no major waves hit two hours following the last quake, it is safe to assume the threat has passed, although danger remains for boats and coastal structures.
The PTWC also warned that a tsunami may be a series of waves spaced out between 5 minutes to one hour each. The first wave may not be the largest.
The US Geological Survey, which is responsible for reporting on earthquakes, reported that the earthquakes themselves did little damage. The chart below shows the low risk of casualties from the quakes:
Low risk of casualties from the quakes
The Indian Ocean has been regularly hit by earthquakes. The famous Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004 killed 170,000 people in Aceh alone and a total of 250,000.
