Yesterday morning (November 24th) I received this question via Ask An Expert (the national Extension online “help desk” system) and thought it worth sharing.
“We are new to Longmont, CO. Our Lawn Service called my husband and said that they were coming Tues. Nov. 24th for our last fertilization of 2015. I have never heard of anyone putting down fertilizer in late November after two snows??? What is your opinion. Should this be allowed? Will it do any good? Will it harm our lawn? Certainly can't water after the application. Sprinklers have been shut off for a month or more. Please Answer Tuesday if possible!!!! HELP….”
Just received this a few minutes ago - so hope I'm not too late to answer.
Fertilizing this "late" is not a problem IF:
1. The fertilizer can be watered in. (But you can't...so Reason 1 not to).
2. The lawn is still green (I'm not sure if yours is still green? But even if it is green, see reason #1).
3. The ground is unfrozen. (Not sure if yours is still unfrozen? I was on lawns and a golf course in the past couple of days and the soil was already frozen is spots about 1 inch deep).
So, the short answer: I would not recommend that the fertilizer be applied to your lawn at this time (late November).
Here is a longer explanation of why not (feel free to share with your lawn care company):While applying nitrogen now (even if the ground is frozen...and/or you can't water it in) CAN be beneficial to the lawn, there is an important environmental downside to applying N under the current conditions. Research in the northern U.S. (U. Minnesota and U. Wisconsin) has demonstrated that late fall N applied to frozen or soon to be frozen soil (or to turf that has entered into winter dormancy) is at risk for leaching or runoff into places we don't want nitrogen going - like groundwater or surface water (lakes, ponds, rivers). Even if you don't live anywhere near a lake or stream, nitrogen can move from frozen/dormant lawns onto streets (then to storm drains on the street), from where it can be transported to surface water (usually streams or rivers in the Front Range of Colorado). So, to avoid the possibility of N movement into water sources, it is best to avoid very late (like November 25th) fertilization of lawns.
Hope this is helpful - and was received in time!
YES, we still recommend late-season (aka "fall fertilization") of cool-season lawns (bluegrass, fescue) in Colorado. However, from an environmental safety perspective, it is best done during September and October to give the turf ample opportunity to take up the applied nitrogen so that there is much less potential for it to move from the turf into ground and surface water.


Five of WWE’s most famous stars are becoming animated sea creatures – mostly penguins – for the sequel to animated caper Surf’s Up.
The Undertaker, Triple H, John Cena, WWE Diva Paige and Mr. McMahon will play penguins, a sea lion and a sea bird in the upcoming flick Surf’s Up 2: WaveMania.
Together the host of new characters are known as The Hang 5, an edgy and slightly terrifying hardcore ‘big wave riding crew’.
WaveMania is being made by Sony Pictures Animation and WWE Studios, the latter of which is continuing its fairly new adventure into kids’ entertainment.
WWE Studios released a whopping six movies in 2015, including The Flintstones and WWE: Stone Age Smackdown, and Vendetta starring The Jump star Dean Cain.
The plot of the animal sports flick has been released on Coming Soon, and suggests viewers can expect a lot more surfing than wrestling:
‘Cody Maverick, hungry for a new challenge, convinces an infamous big wave riding crew known as The Hang 5, voiced by WWE Superstars John Cena, The Undertaker, Triple H, WWE Diva Paige and Mr. McMahon, to let him join them on their journey to a mysterious surf spot known as The Trenches, where legend has it, they’ll find the biggest waves in the world.
‘Cody soon discovers that the life he left behind might be more heroic than what any death-defying wave has to offer.’
The movie is set to be released in 2017, on the tenth anniversary of the first film’s release – though Shia LaBeouf is yet to confirm he will voice Cody Maverick again.
Michael Luisi, WWE Studios President, said: ‘We are thrilled to be working with Sony Pictures Animation to bring Cody Maverick back to audiences for more adventures, paired with our WWE Superstars in what promises to be a fun animated film for the entire family.’
‘WWE has a proven track record with family audiences, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with them and dive back into the fun world of our surfing penguins,’ added the President of Sony Pictures Animation Kristine Belson.

Reba McEntire Believes in Reincarnation and That She’s ‘Been Here Before as a Man’
Actor and singer Reba McEntire is a country music icon who believes in reincarnation. She even feels that she lived life as a man before. While McEntire has acknowledged that sharing such beliefs may not sit well with some of her fans, she’s explained the notion on more than one occasion. Here’s what she’s had to say about it.
Reba McEntire believes she was a man before
When it comes to the afterlife, McEntire revealed she believes she’s already been reborn. “I believe in reincarnation,” the “Fancy” singer told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2008. “I believe I’ve gone both ways — that I have been here before as a man.”
At the time, she predicted she would face criticism from people who say that belief doesn’t align with her outspoken Christian faith. To that she said, “I’m sorry, but this is how I live my life, this is what I believe.”
She also provided more details as to what makes her think the way she does, saying she feels like she’s known and spent time with people in her life. “I believe I have spent time with my son, Shelby, before,” she explained. She later added, “Who knows? Maybe I’m part Buddhist.”
Reba McEntire: reincarnation is like recycling
Again in 2020, McEntire told CMT during a game of Rumor Has It that she believes in reincarnation. This time she added that she thinks of it as a kind of recycling.
According to her, the idea somewhat complements her faith — and seemingly doesn’t negate it. “Well, I always thought it was a possibility,” the “I’m a Survivor” singer shared. “And I kinda thought maybe God does believe in recycling too and gave everybody another chance to improve themselves.”
To the question of whether she believes in reincarnation, she again concluded, “Yeah. I do.”
Reba McEntire thinks some people will deny her faith because she believes in reincarnation
While speaking to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, McEntire shared her belief that some people would say she “can’t be a Christian” if she believes in reincarnation. Still, she said it’s what she believes is true.
But when it comes to her career, she thanks her faith. “My talent is a gift from God,” McEntire explained in that same interview. “I need to use it. If I don’t, I wouldn’t blame Him one bit if he took it away and gave it to someone else.”
As reported by Today, the twice-divorced star said she leaned on her faith following her 2015 split from ex-husband of 26 years, Narvel Blackstock. When adjusting to life after Blackstock — who was also her manager — she said she had to “run it all through God” to get through.
“I had to say, ‘OK big boy, I can’t handle this. This is way over my pay grade — I don’t know what to do,'” she shared. “And I would wait, and He would guide me. And so without my faith, I have no idea where I would be or my career would be, at this time today.”
So, McEntire seemingly trusts in her beliefs, despite what others might think.

Prince Of Persia: Gemma Arterton dazzles in fairytale Valentino gown at London premiere
The film may be been The Prince Of Persia, but it was the fairytale princess who stole the show.
Gemma Arterton's nude coloured Valentino ballgown, embroidered with thousands of silver beads, dazzled the crowd.
Teamed with a severe side parting in her dark hair, and lashings of red lipstick, Gemma looked quite the Hollywood movie star.
Star of the show: Gemma plays Princess Tamina in the action-adventure fantasy movie
Next to her dazzling frock her co-star Jake Gyllenhaal looked quite overshadowed.
Gemma, 24, stars as Princess Tamina in the action-adventure fantasy movie.
Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time, is based on an award-winning videogame of the same name developed by Ubisoft which was released in 2003.
The Princess's name has been changed from Farah to Tamina in the Disney backed movie.
'It's nice to see a Disney princess that's not a damsel in distress,' said Gemma on the red carpet.
'She's such a good role model for little girls who watch this.'
But in a recent interview with Details magazine, Gemma said fans of the video game are unhappy at her casting.
She said: 'I've gotten letters telling me I'm not right for the part because I don't look like the girl in the video game!'
Last night Gyllenhaal got the biggest screams, as thousands of fans packed Westfield shopping centre, which had been transformed to look like a Persian city, to catch a glimpse of the 29-year-old actor.
He undertook a tough training regime to portray rogue Prince Dastan and mark his debut as an action hero.
'It feels very good. I have to say I am enjoying myself,' he said.
The star of films such as Donnie Darko and Brokeback Mountain is getting used to the attention on his impressive physique.
'I don't think I ever expected that much attention,' he added.
'I think it was more like I tried to train to be able to look like I was, the character in the video game, and that I was able to do the stunts that were asked of me.'
Director Mike Newell was highly impressed with his talented leads.
'Jake was terrific. He worked so hard to make himself into Dastan.
'Gemma was adorable. When I first started working with her, she was 21 and three months out of drama school,' he revealed.
Amongst the other guests were The Saturdays Una Healy, singer Paloma Faith, and a slender Kerry Katona.

Distressed housing market shrinks dramatically since housing downturn of Great Recession
LOS ANGELES (March 10) – Vastly improved home prices over the past five years have changed the landscape of California’s distressed housing market, which is now just a fraction of what it was during the Great Recession, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) said today.
In January 2009, 69.5 percent of all homes sold in California were distressed, which includes short sales and real estate-owned (REOs) properties. Five years later, that figure has shrunk to 15.6 percent. More specifically, REOs comprised 60 percent of all sales in January 2009, while short sales made up 9.1 percent of all sales but rose to as high as 25.6 percent in January 2012. Short sales currently make up 9.2 percent of all sales.
During the same time period, California’s median home price has soared more than 64 percent from $249,960 in January…

Residents of Harrison County who choose to drive after drinking or using drugs during the weekends this summer will find their celebrations cut short, as the Harrison County DUI Task Force mobilizes to take impaired drivers off the road and warns: "You drink and drive, you lose!"
Between July 1 and September 30, the DUI Task Force will be out in full force to stop impaired drivers. Authorities will set up sobriety checkpoints and conduct saturation patrols. Violators will be subject to immediate arrest.
Alcohol and drugs remain a contributing factor in 38 percent of all motor vehicle crashes. Three out of every 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash. Every 33 minutes, someone is killed because of an impaired driver, and every two minutes, someone is injured. While the statistics are staggering, they fail to tell the tragic stories of the thousands of families who bear the daily consequences of this crime.
Every reader can do his or her part by making a simple choice: If you are going to drink, don't drive. Plan ahead and arrange for a designated driver or take a taxi.
Unfortunately, not everyone understands the deadly consequences of not making the right choice. That's why the DUI Task Force is encouraging citizens of Harrison County to take part in this enforcement by not drinking and then driving.
Remember! You drink and drive, you LOSE!

There's a new way of thinking, but it's not going over very well. Last week, the Rockford Public School District announced plans to completely break up a school that has been in existence since 1974. The concept isn't anything that doesn't already exist. Two years ago the same situation plagued the Belvidere School District. At that time the federal government advised districts to look into how to get special education students into the least restrictive environment. Now districts are being told they have 2 years to change. That is why Rockford wants to re-locate students from Page Park.
Rockford Superintendent Dr. Dennis Thompson says, "The question is do those programs at Page Park occur at other schools “yes” they exist do I presume they have the same fidelity, “no."
The Belvidere School District used to have all special education students at one school. But in 2003 special education students were integrated into schools that were handicap accessible.
Belvidere Superintendent Don Schlomann says, "There really isn't too much to fear. The best part is exposing regular kids to handicapped kids so they understand those students exist."
12% of the kids in the district are classified as special education students. And like the rest of the district that number is growing. Schlomann told 23 News, "We're building a new elementary school and we designed three classrooms just for specialized students."
Students will still be integrated into classrooms but will receive therapy in that space. Superintendent Schlomann says it was tough for everyone to accept initially but now there are no complaints. Page Park officials say about one-third of the students would be fine in another school. But about half are said to only thrive in a separate facility.

EU proposes one-off $140 billion tax on energy companies
By Anna Cooban, CNN Business
The European Union wants to raise 140 billion euros ($140 billion) by tapping the windfall profits of some energy companies to help households and businesses pay sky-high gas and electricity bills.
On Wednesday, the European Commission proposed capping the profits of renewable and nuclear power generators, and taxing the windfall profits of oil and gas companies.
Profits for power generators using wind, solar and nuclear power have soared because their rates are tied to the wholesale price of natural gas, which hit a record high in March after Russia invaded Ukraine, and is now about 550% higher than a year ago.
Europe sanctioned Russian oil and coal exports after the invasion, prompting Moscow to cut gas supplies in return.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday the bloc would carry out a “deep and comprehensive reform” to decouple the cost of gas from the price of electricity.
“These companies are making revenue that they never accounted for, that they never even dreamed of,” she told EU lawmakers during a speech in Strasbourg, France. “It is a mistake to collect extraordinary record profits for the benefit of war and on the backs of consumers,” she added.
The Commission’s proposals still need to be debated and adopted by EU Member States.
The bloc could introduce a cap of €180 ($180) per megawatt-hour on electricity produced by renewable energy companies, the Commission said in a statement.. The benchmark wholesale gas price in Europe is currently €212 ($212) per megawatt hour.
Natural gas and oil prices have started rising last year as countries reopened their pandemic lockdowns, prompting a surge in demand. But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February – and the resulting energy standoff between Europe and Moscow – blew them up. Oil has since retreated as a global economic slowdown leads to reduced demand, but natural gas prices remain above their March peak.
The EU proposal is part of a package of measures to help the region overcome the energy crisis this winter, when temperatures drop and demand normally increases.
The package includes a “crisis contribution” from oil, gas and coal producers, who have reaped equally huge profits, and mandatory targets for countries to reduce their electricity consumption during peak hours.
The Commission said in its statement that EU member states should levy an additional tax on all profits that exceed the average earnings of the last three years by more than 20%. He did not specify the tax rate.
“They have to pay a fair share,” von der Leyen said.
She also said that billions of national governments have already pledged supporting consumers would “not” be enough on its own.
Together, European countries and the UK – which is mired in its own energy crisis – have so far pledged around 500 billion euros ($500 billion) in grants to help households and businesses cope. to soaring energy bills.
The UK imposed a 25% windfall tax on its oil and gas companies earlier this year to help pay for a first round of relief for customers this year.
But Prime Minister Liz Truss has ruled out raising or extending the tax to help fund her much bolder plan to cap household bills at £2,500 ($2,888) a year for the next two years and support businesses over the next six months. Analysts say these measures could cost up to £150 billion ($173 billion).

An interview with Chef Hidekazu Tojo, Japanese Chef & Founder of Tojo’s Restaurant
Name: Chef Hidekazu Tojo | Occupation: Japanese Chef | Location: Vancouver, Canada
A Little Background…
Vancouver, Canada is known for its vibrant city, beautiful beaches, and glorious mountains. Tourists are often surprised to see local sushi restaurants on nearly every corner downtown, as Vancouverites enjoy Japanese fare on a regular basis. Chef Tojo is credited as inventing the California Roll, an inside-out sushi roll created in the 1970s. Cha Siu Papers Times’ contributor Geraldine Sangalang interviews Chef Hidekazu Tojo on his background, and how he brought sushi to Vancouver.
At the time, the concept of eating raw fish was foreign in North America, and the inside-out roll resulted from guest feedback that they were intimidated by the fish. Hearing these concerns, Chef Tojo wanted guests to enjoy his food without changing the fundamental ingredients, and so he put the fish inside the sushi rolls, masking the intimidating sight with rice on the outside, and delighting guests. Chef Tojo also created the BC Roll, which is a sushi roll filled with barbeque salmon skin, commonly served in Canadian sushi restaurants.

1. You moved to Vancouver in 1971. There were only a few Japanese restaurants in Vancouver at the time. Can you share a glimpse of your initial days in Vancouver? Where did you work and where did you spend your personal time?
I worked at Jinya and spent a lot of time getting to know the local ingredients and culinary habits.
2. You were born in Kagoshima in 1950, 5 years after the devastating nuclear bombing. Kagoshima is around 550 KMs away from Hiroshima and around 375 KMs from Nagasaki. 2020 marked the 75th anniversary of the nuclear disaster in Japan. What memories do you have from that time? What was the impact on your childhood?
I have memories of family friends that had health conditions—particularly a friend of similar age growing up together.
3. What inspired you to open your restaurant? Tell us about the original menu.
I wanted to introduce Japanese cuisine to people in Vancouver, and what better way to do it than with exciting and enticing omakase?
Image courtesy of Geraldine Sangalang
4. Before sushi was mainstream, where did you source raw ingredients for your menu?
I would go to the local fisherman’s market, where I became known for having a very discerning taste and eye for quality. I began sharing Japanese filleting tips with fishermen and requested a higher quality and more preserved product. Because I was willing to pay more, suppliers obliged. Today, my relationships with local fishermen are just as strong.
5. You’re known for keeping up with Japanese Cuisine Trends. How are you able to do this from Vancouver?
I travel to Japan every year. I was recently very inspired by a temple stay and the food prepared by the monks, perhaps something we’ll see in a future menu. During my visits, I savoured both the new and the very old.
At the time, locals in Vancouver did not eat raw fish, not even seaweed. So cooked crab was a great way to introduce new people to trying sushi. This sensation which became widespread throughout North America became called the California Roll—a name given by Japanese media. —Chef Hidekazu Tojo, Founder of Tojo’s Restaurant

6. Tell us the idea behind creating the California Roll and BC Roll here in Vancouver. How did you come up with the idea of naming the sushi after a State and Province?
The Tojo Roll was the first inside out roll. This roll featured Dungeness crab, spinach and seaweed on the inside (to hide it). At the time locals in Vancouver did not eat raw fish, not even seaweed. So cooked crab was a great way to introduce new people to trying sushi. This sensation which became widespread throughout North America became called the California Roll—a name given by Japanese media. This recent video gives a good story of that. BC is all about salmon, so there had to be an iconic roll celebrating one of the region’s most famous ingredients.
7. You hired Architect Colin Kwok for the new design of your restaurant. What was your vision for the aesthetic and ambience of the space?
We wanted it to be all about the open kitchen, and to have an interactive and open space.
Chef Tojo’s sees many regular guests and he makes an effort to keep introducing them to more Japanese cuisine, sometimes adapting to their particular palate, which we have come to know. For visitors from out of town, it’s all local—showing off the best BC ingredients using traditional techniques. —Chef Hidekazu Tojo, Founder of Tojo’s Restaurant

It is an evaluation that we unconsciously do every day when taking food or a drink to the mouth
Our taste buds, found from the tip of our tongue to its very back, perceive four sensory attributes: sweet, salty, acid and bitter. With olive oil, we can only perceive bitterness: we can’t taste sweetness or saltiness, because there are neither sugars nor salts in an olive oil (the sweet sensation detected in some oils is in fact entirely due to the absence of bitterness), nor can we make out acidity, as our taste buds are not “calibrated” to recognise the presence of the free acids present in all olive oils. Furthermore, is possible to perceive, especially in the throat, a tingling sensation, a characteristic pungent note present in fresh oil.
This is why organoleptic evaluation of olive oils is performed mainly through the sense of smell that evaluates smell, in the nose, and aroma, in the pharynx.
Taste, smell and the tingling effect are a result of enzymatic processes triggered during malaxation. The bitter note and the tactile pungent sensation, result from the chemical characteristics and the concentration of the phenolic derivatives (polyphenols) present in the oil. Odour and aroma are the result of a chain of reactions that produce airborne organic compounds.
To obtain a high-quality oil every stage of the olive-to-oil chain needs to be carefully monitored. Bruising during harvest, long storage before crushing, inadequate separation and filtration techniques can adversely affect quality and lead to organoleptic defects leading the oil to be fusty, winey, rancid, musty or even have muddy deposits.
This may spoil an oil, even making it unfit for human consumption.
According to EU Regulation 2568/91 olive oil product classification depends on the chemical, physical and organoleptic characteristics identified through validated analytical methods.
Objective evaluation of organoleptic characteristics of an extra virgin olive oil is carried out by a selected panel of trained testers applying the “Panel Test” method devised by the International Olive Oil Council (I.O.O.C.).
Evaluations are based on a list of coded positive and negative attributes descriptors as well as the intensity of each.
To classify an oil as extra virgin, the oil must be entirely free of negative attributes and possess all 3 positive attributes: fruitiness, bitterness and pungency
To evaluate and test the organoleptic characteristics of oils with protected designation of origin the I.O.O.C. has devised a method that involves a panel of tasters.
The members are appointed locally and trained to identify the typical organoleptic profile of PDO and PGI oils produced in that specific area. Their role is to verify that an oil seeking certification possesses the sensory characteristics set out in the relevant Product Specifications.

After my weekend I need another weekend. I am TIRED. Next weekend there will be more sitting, less running around doing all the things. But then next weekend is traditionally the last real weekend of summer so I should probably go out and do all those last summer things, shouldn't I?
Except Lee -- who admittedly was just a tad cranky thanks to a spectacularly bad weekend-long allergy attack -- maybe complained about how we have OMG SO MUCH FOOD IN THIS HOUSE. So next weekend we should probably do an inventory of all the things and *gulp* maybe attempt a multi-week meal plan with the intent of clearing out room in the fridge and pantry. (And um… maybe our secondary pantry too…) This would be a good thing since I got hit with an unexpected (and rather large) bill right when we got back from vacation. In the words of Lady Russell, we must retrench. (Oh, and our bathroom continues to fall apart. SO MUCH FUN.)
For the next few weeks you'll see us pull a whole lot of stuff from the freezer and pantry. Which isn't all that different from what we do now, we'll just be trying to add fewer things back into the freezer and pantry at the same time. Use and don't replace right away… that is hard for me to do.
But this is what we've having this week.
Monday: Gazpacho (I kind of mesh together recipes from Pioneer Woman and Simply Recipes.) We have a couple of loaves of garlic bread and potato-scallion bread in the freezer. I'll pull one out and grill it up to go with this. Or rather probably broil it because the sky is not looking very nice for grilling.
Tuesday: Clean out the fridge day. Because OMG the fridge is overflowing.
Wednesday: One pot pasta (since we didn't get to make it last week).
Thursday: Whatever I'm in the mood for since it's just me at home. Maybe leftovers. Maybe I'll make something just for me.
Friday: Pizza, which we didn't have last week and it made Lee sad.
Saturday: Chicken wings. I'm assuming we'll do the usual sweet and sticky wings but Lee might have other ideas.
Sunday: Slow cooker pork sirloin roast with spicy peanut sauce. I've been wanting to try this recipe for a long time and it always gives me a happy to make one of Kalyn's recipes.
I'll also be making some tomatillo salsa since we went to the farmers market on the weekend. I think I may also make something sweet. I didn't make dessert on Sunday night because I was all kinds of tired. Maybe I'll make cookies. I haven't made cookies in a long, long time.
What are you cooking this week?

Unionized workers at Canada’s largest zoo ratified a new four-year collective agreement on Sunday.
The Toronto Zoo Board of Management announced Monday that it too had ratified the accord.
Management staff have been caring for the zoo’s 5,000 animals during the contract dispute.
Staff are set to return to work Tuesday to prepare the zoo for opening to the public.
During the strike, more than 400 unionized employees had cited job security concerns as their main grievance.
The workers who walked off the job include zookeepers, maintenance staff, administration staff, ride operators, public relations staff and concession workers.

This black-eyed pea salad is perfect since I'm all about easy make ahead dishes and the flavors in this salad intensify more over time.
Black-eyed peas are such a great addition to salads since they're firm, soft and hold together well in a salad.
I love the nutty earthy flavor of black-eyed peas which are actually a bean and not a pea.
Ingredients for this salad
- Black-Eyed peas- you can use canned black eyed peas or prepare them from dried beans. If using canned make sure to rinse them.
- Grape tomatoes- could be swapped with cherry tomatoes.

- Whisk together the dressing ingredients, combine, & store in airtight container in the fridge.

I recently read Nicole Krauss’ History of Love, a great book that takes place in New York City. Granted, there are plenty of cities in the world I don’t know, but I can’t imagine this book being set anywhere but the Big Apple. That got me thinking about other books with a New York setting. Here are my Top Ten.
- The New York Trilogy, Paul Auster—”Genre-rebelling detective fiction” in the streets of contemporary New York.
- The Golem and the Jinny, Helene Wecker—A chance meeting between mythical beings takes readers on a dazzling journey through cultures in turn-of-the-century New York.
- Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison—The narrator remains nameless and “invisible” as he describes growing up in a black community in the South, moving to New York, and becoming the chief spokesman of the Harlem branch of “the Brotherhood.”
- Let the Great World Spin, Colum McCann—A sweeping and radical social novel that captures the spirit of America in a time of transition, extraordinary promise, and heartbreaking innocence.
- The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Michael Chabon—An American epic of two boy geniuses who embark on an adventure that takes them deep into the heart of Manhattan.
- From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, E.L. Konigsburg—A story of discovery and self-discovery that takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
- How the Other Half Lives, Jacob Riis—A fascinating look at how immigrants lived in the New York of the 1800s; the photographs in this book are heartbreaking.
- How the García Girls Lost Their Accents, Julia Alvarez—A brilliant and buoyant novel that sets the García girls free to tell their most intimate stories about how they came to be at home—and not at home—in America.
- What I Loved, Siri Hustvedt—Part family novel, part psychological thriller, this is a beautifully written exploration of love, loss, and betrayal in 1970s New York.
- The Alienist, Caleb Carr—Fast-paced and gripping, here is a New York during an age when questioning society’s belief that all killers are born, not made, could have unexpected and mortal consequences.
I know I left some obvious choices off the list. There are great classics like Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence (my review) and House of Mirth (Cathy’s review), F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (Leah’s review), Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Julianna’s review), and Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s (Ali’s review). We have wonderful non-fiction, like Deborah Blum’s The Poisoner’s Handbook (my review), Robert Sullivan’s Rats, and David Freeland’s Automats, Taxi Dances, and Vaudeville. Notice what I am doing here? It’s hard to stick to just 10 books when it comes to the greatest city on Earth.
Tell me, which other books about or set in New York really should have made my list?

1. About mirtazapine
2. Key facts
- Mirtazapine usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks to work.
- Common side effects include headaches, dry mouth and feeling sick. They're usually mild and go away after a couple of weeks.
- If you and your doctor decide to take you off mirtazapine, your doctor will probably recommend reducing your dose gradually to help prevent extra side effects.
- Mirtazapine is not a sleeping tablet but it can make you feel sleepy. This can be helpful if you have depression and difficulties getting to sleep.
- Mirtazapine is also known by the brand name Zispin SolTab.
3. Who can and can't take mirtazapine
Mirtazapine can be taken by adults for depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety disorders.
Mirtazapine isn't suitable for some people. Check with your doctor before starting to take mirtazapine if you:
- have had an allergic reaction to mirtazapine or any other medicines in the past
- have a heart problem as mirtazapine can cause low blood pressure
- have ever taken any other medicines for depression – some rarely used antidepressants can interfere with mirtazapine to cause very high blood pressure even if you've stopped taking them for a few weeks
- have an eye problem called glaucoma – mirtazapine can increase the pressure in your eye
- have epilepsy – although it's rare, mirtazapine may increase your risk of having a seizure
- are trying to become pregnant, already pregnant or breastfeeding
- are taking warfarin - mirtazapine may increase the effects of warfarin and blood clotting
If you have diabetes, mirtazapine can make it more difficult to keep your blood sugar stable. Monitor your blood sugar more often for the first few weeks of taking mirtazapine and change your diabetes treatment if necessary.
4. How and when to take it
You'll usually take mirtazapine once a day. It's best to take mirtazapine before you go to bed as it can make you sleepy.
Your doctor may recommend dividing your daily dose into 2 doses of different sizes. In this case take the smaller dose in the morning and the higher dose before you go to bed.
Mirtazapine can be taken with or without food.
How much will I take?
The usual starting dose for mirtazapine is 15 to 30mg a day. This can be increased up to 45mg a day.
If you have problems with your liver or kidneys your doctor might prescribe a lower dose.
What if I forget to take it?
If you take mirtazapine once a day and miss a dose, skip it and take the next dose at the normal time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
If you take mirtazapine twice a day and forget:
your morning dose – take it together with your evening dose
your evening dose – do not take it with the next morning dose. Instead skip the missed dose, and then continue the next day with your normal morning and evening doses
both doses – skip the missed doses. Continue the next day with your normal morning and evening doses. Do not take an extra dose to make up for a missed dose
If you forget doses often, it may help to set an alarm to remind you. You could also ask your pharmacist for advice on other ways to help you remember to take your medicine.
What if I take too much?
The amount of mirtazapine that can lead to an overdose varies from person to person.
Urgent advice: Call your doctor straight away if you take too much mirtazapine
If you've taken too much mirtazapine you may experience symptoms such as:
- feeling sleepy
- your heartbeat is fast or irregular
- you feel confused or faint
If you need to go to a hospital accident and emergency (A&E) department, do not drive yourself – get someone else to drive you or call for an ambulance.
Take the mirtazapine packet, or the leaflet inside it, plus any remaining medicine with you.
5. Side effects
Like all medicines, mirtazapine can cause side effects in some people, but many people have no side effects or only minor ones.
Some of the common side effects of mirtazapine will gradually improve as your body gets used to it.
Common side effects
These side effects happen in more than 1 in 100 people.
Keep taking the medicine, but tell your doctor or pharmacist if these side effects bother you or don't go away:
- dry mouth
- increased appetite and weight gain
- feeling sleepy
Serious side effects
Serious side effects are rare and happen in less than 1 in 10,000 people when taking mirtazapine.
Call your doctor straight away if you experience:
- severe pain in your stomach or back, and nausea – these can be signs of inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)
- thoughts about harming yourself or ending your life
- constant headaches, long-lasting confusion or weakness, or frequent muscle cramps – these can be signs of low sodium levels in your blood (which can cause seizures in severe cases)
- yellow skin, or the whites of your eyes go yellow – this can be a sign of liver problems
- high fever, sore throat and mouth ulcers – these signs of infection could be due to a problem with your blood cells
Serious allergic reaction
In rare cases, it's possible to have a serious allergic (anaphylaxis) reaction to mirtazapine.
Immediate action required: Call 999 or go to A&E if:
- you get a skin rash that may include itchy, red, swollen, blistered or peeling skin
- you're wheezing
- you get tightness in the chest or throat
- you have trouble breathing or talking
- your mouth, face, lips, tongue or throat start swelling
You could be having a serious allergic reaction and may need immediate treatment in hospital.
These are not all the side effects of mirtazapine. For a full list, see the leaflet inside your medicine packet.
You can report any suspected side effect to the UK safety scheme.
6. How to cope with side effects
What to do about:
- dry mouth – try chewing sugar-free gum or sucking sugar-free sweets.
- increased appetite and weight gain – mirtazapine can make you hungrier so it can be quite a challenge to stop yourself putting on weight. Try to eat a healthy balanced diet without increasing your portion sizes. Don't snack on foods that contain a lot of calories, such as crisps, cakes, biscuits and sweets. If you feel hungry between meals, eat fruit and vegetables and low-calorie foods. Regular exercise will also help to keep your weight stable.
- headaches – make sure you rest and drink plenty of fluids. Don't drink too much alcohol. Ask your pharmacist to recommend a painkiller. Talk to your doctor if headaches last longer than a week or are severe.
- feeling sleepy – do not drive or use tools or machinery if you're feeling this way. Try to avoid drinking alcohol as this will make you feel more tired. Talk to your doctor if this becomes troublesome as you may need to switch to a different medicine.
- constipation – eat more high-fibre foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables and cereals, and drink plenty of water. Try to exercise more regularly, for example, by going for a daily walk or run. If this doesn't help, talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
7. Pregnancy and breastfeeding
It's important for you and your baby that you stay well during your pregnancy.
If you become pregnant while taking mirtazapine speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Mirtazapine has been linked to a very small increased risk of problems for your unborn baby.
But if your depression is not treated during pregnancy this can also increase the chance of problems.
You may take mirtazapine during pregnancy if you need it to remain well. Your doctor can explain the risks and the benefits, and will help you decide which treatment is best for you and your baby.
For more information about how mirtazapine can affect you and your baby during pregnancy, read the leaflet about the best use of medicines in pregnancy (BUMPS).
Mirtazapine and breastfeeding
If your doctor or health visitor says your baby is healthy, mirtazapine can be used during breastfeeding. It has been used by many breastfeeding mothers usually without any problems.
Mirtazapine passes into breast milk in small amounts. It has been linked with side effects in very few breastfed babies.
It's important to continue taking mirtazapine to keep you well. Breastfeeding will also benefit both you and your baby.
If you notice that your baby isn't feeding as well as usual, or seems unusually sleepy, or if you have any other concerns about your baby, talk to your health visitor or doctor as soon as possible.
Non-urgent advice: Tell your doctor if you're:
- trying to get pregnant
8. Cautions with other medicines
Some medicines and mirtazapine can interfere with each other and increase the chances of you having side effects.
Tell your doctor if you are taking:
- or recently been on any other medicines for depression – some antidepressants can interfere with mirtazapine to cause very high blood pressure even after you've stopped taking them
- medicines that make you feel sleepy, including strong painkillers like morphine or muscle relaxants like diazepam
- warfarin – mirtazapine can interfere with warfarin so you may need to change your warfarin dose
- antiepileptics such as carbamazepine and phenytoin – these medicines can reduce the effects of mirtazapine, so your doctor may prescribe a higher dose
- rifampicin – this antibiotic can reduce the effects of mirtazapine, so your doctor may prescribe a higher dose
Mixing mirtazapine with herbal remedies and supplements
Do not take St John's wort while you are being treated with mirtazapine as this will increase your risk of side effects.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
9. Common questions
How does mirtazapine work?
Mirtazapine is a type of antidepressant medicine.
It works by increasing the activity of mood-enhancing chemicals called noradrenaline and serotonin in the brain.
How long does it take to work?
You may see an improvement in your symptoms after a week although it usually takes between 4 and 6 weeks before you feel the full benefits. That's because it takes around a week for mirtazapine levels to build up in your body, and then a few weeks longer for your body to adapt and get used to it.
Do not stop taking mirtazapine just because you feel it is not helping your symptoms. Give the medicine at least 6 weeks to work.
How will it make me feel?
Antidepressants like mirtazapine help to gradually lift your mood so you feel better.
You may notice that you sleep better and get on with people more easily because you're less anxious. You will hopefully take things that used to worry you in your stride.
Mirtazapine won't change your personality or make you feel euphorically happy. It will simply help you feel like yourself again.
Don't expect to feel better overnight, though. Some people feel worse during the first few weeks of treatment before they begin to feel better.
How long will I take it for?
Once you're feeling better you're likely to keep taking mirtazapine for several months.
Most doctors recommend that you take antidepressants for 6 months to a year after you no longer feel depressed.
Stopping your medicine too soon can make depression come back. Most doctors recommend taking antidepressants for 6 to 12 months after you stop feeling depressed.
Is it safe to take long-term?
Mirtazapine is generally safe to take for a long time. There don't seem to be any lasting harmful effects from taking it for many months and years.
How do I come off mirtazapine?
If you've been feeling better for 6 months or more, your doctor may suggest coming off mirtazapine.
Your doctor will probably recommend reducing your dose gradually over several weeks, or longer if you've been taking mirtazapine for a long time.
This is to help prevent you getting any extra side effects as you come off the medicine.
Side effects include:
- feeling anxious, dizzy or sick
- numbness or tingling in your hands or feet
Do not stop taking mirtazapine suddenly, or without talking to your doctor first.
How does mirtazapine compare to other antidepressants?
Mirtazapine isn't any better or worse than other antidepressants. Sometimes people get on better with one antidepressant than another.
If you aren't feeling any better after 6 weeks, talk to your doctor.
Are there other treatments that will help?
Taking antidepressants, including mirtazapine, is just one of many ways to treat depression.
Other potential treatments include:
- talking therapy (such as cognitive behavioural therapy)
- exercise programmes
- help to get a good night's sleep
Choosing a treatment that's most suitable for you depends on:
- how long you've had depression
- your symptoms
- whether you've had depression before
- whether previous treatment has worked
- how likely you are to stick with your treatment
- the potential side effects
- your preferences and priorities
Is there any food or drink I need to avoid?
You can eat and drink normally while taking mirtazapine.
Will I gain or lose weight?
Mirtazapine can make you feel more hungry than usual, so you may put on weight.
If you start to have problems with your weight while taking mirtazapine, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Can I drink alcohol with it?
You can drink alcohol while taking mirtazapine but it may make you feel sleepy and unsteady on your feet.
It might be best to stop drinking alcohol for the first few days of treatment until you see how the medicine affects you.
Drinking alcohol every day or in large amounts can make your symptoms worse. It also makes it harder for mirtazapine to work properly.
Try to stick to the national guidelines of no more than 14 units a week. A standard glass of wine (175ml) is 2 units. A pint of lager or beer is usually 2 to 3 units of alcohol.
Will it affect my fertility?
There's no firm evidence to suggest that taking mirtazapine affects male or female fertility. Speak to your doctor if you're planning to get pregnant or become pregnant while taking mirtazapine.
Can I drive or ride a bike?
Some people can't concentrate properly while they are taking mirtazapine.
When you first start taking mirtazapine, it's a good idea to stop driving and cycling for the first few days until you know how this medicine makes you feel.
Will recreational drugs affect it?
Cannibis with mirtazapine can make you feel very sleepy, especially if you've just started taking mirtazapine.
It can be potentially dangerous to take mirtazapine with:
- stimulants like MDMA (ecstasy) or cocaine
- hallucinogens like LSD
- novel psychoactive substances (which used to be known as legal highs) like mephedrone
Mirtazapine hasn't been properly tested with recreational drugs. Talk to your doctor if you think you might use recreational drugs while taking mirtazapine.

Cumulative management areas
A cumulative management area (CMA) can be declared if an area contains 2 or more resource tenures, including tenures on which coal seam gas activities operate.
Declaring a CMA enables the Office of Groundwater Impact Assessment (OGIA) to assess potential future cumulative impacts on groundwater and develop management responses—such as monitoring programs—that help to manage those impacts.
It also enables responsibilities to be assigned to each tenure holder in the area for monitoring, bore assessments, and negotiating make good arrangements.
OGIA prepares an underground water impact report for each CMA.

I stood as still as I could, raising the phone up to my eye level. I tapped on the screen to make it focus on the little brown bird in front of me. He looked at me, looked up at the grey sky and seemed to wait patiently for me to snap a series of photographs of him. Then the bus came, I got on the bus and I went to work.
Sometimes using Google Maps makes me feel like a ghost. I stood outside the front gates of Highgate Cemetery in London, I then walked slowly around the perimeter. I couldn’t go into the gates, but I walked around the edge, looking in through the thicket at the gravestones. I walked the entire way around. I felt like a ghost, tracing my way around the perimeter, invisible and unable to go inside.
There was an overgrown cemetery in the town I grew up in, in Lusaka. It was in a neighborhood across town from where I lived. The Aylmer May Cemetery, in Rhodes Park. I was obsessed with it as a child. The cemetery had been opened in 1922, closed in 1958 and by the time I was a child had been closed and fallen into disrepair. It has now been reopened, and since 1999 has been undergoing renovations and repairs. However, when I was a little girl the gravestones were cracked, tumbling and the entire place was overgrown. There was a little chapel at the entrance with broken strained glass windows and crumbling bricks. It was unassuming, the kind of place you could drive past everyday and never really notice, but from the first time we found it on a drive, I was in love. Love at first sight.
My mother would take me on long drives in her sky blue Nissan Sentra when I was a kid, 6, or 7, we’d drive through the unfamiliar streets of Lusaka, “following the rain,” turning in whatever direction moved us closer to the menacing dark grey clouds that perpetually hovered over the skyline in the humid summer months. On afternoons where there was nothing to do, we would look for rain, and use it as a way for my mother to learn the meandering and usually unmarked roads. To this day, she’s uncannily good at drawing little maps of Lusaka, and directing people through neighborhoods.
We stopped the car, and got out. We picked to the edge of the broken fence. There wasn’t anyone there, and so we poked around a bit. My mother would diligently remind me not to tread on people’s graves, we would stop and read the gravestones and work out how old people were, or how long they’d been dead. I loved how derelict it was, how dark, overgrown, and frankly, creepy. We went back many times, I’d beg on rainy afternoons to go. Sometimes we’d chat to people – the man who half-heartedly swept around the graves, or someone passing by, we’d take grave-rubbings. Running our crayons over the white paper, capturing record of the etched words.
I was almost sad as a teenager when I realized my beloved cemetery was being fixed up. It’s important to preserve these sorts of spaces, but there is something about the charm and power of the overgrown cemetery that captures the imagination. Visiting Highgate in London had much the same effect, I loved it. I loved the stale, cool air, the endless shade, and the cracked stones. I loved the moisture and decay as if it crawled out of the ground, the darkness and the mystery. Not in a I-want-to-wear-black-and-lounge-around-on-tombstones sort of way, but more in a sense of feeling all the intensity and impressiveness of burial ritual, of the dead as they sleep forever. I liked sitting quietly, and listening to the noises old, quiet places make. I liked visiting it today, even as an apparition myself. It made me want to explore Washington’s cemeteries. To find out if there’s a dank, overgrown patch of ground, with aging stones for me to explore, here, closer to home.
What does anything have to do with the bird I took photographs of today? I don’t know, I don’t know if it has anything to do with the daydreams about cemeteries that followed. But I do know that I photographed a bird, and then has a ghostly visit to a ghostly place.

Tim Byles, chief executive of Norfolk council, is to take over from Richard Bowker in November
Partnerships for Schools, the delivery body for the £45bn Building Schools for the Future programme, has appointed a new chief executive.
Tim Byles, currently chief executive of Norfolk council, will take over from Richard Bowker in November.
Bowker quit recently after eight months in the job. He will take up a position as chief executive of transport company National Express.
Previously, Byles was director of economic development at Kent council. For the past four years he has also held the role of chair of the Society of Local Authority Chief Executives. He has also been chair of the Local Government Taskforce and a national procurement champion for the ODPM.
Jim Knight, minister for schools, said he understood it was a tough job. He said: “The task we have given them is huge and Tim’s role will be a challenging one. However, with a strong emphasis on great design and solid partnerships, it is clear that Building Schools for the Future will deliver schools fit for the 21st century.”
The news of the appointment comes at a turbulent time for the BSF programme, amid speculation and grumbles that the programme is delayed. Only one scheme has so far reached financial close, despite Bowker pledging that 10 projects were likely to have reached financial close by next March.

Amir Khan took to twitter yesterday for a curious post, one which many believe is aimed at domestic rival Kell Brook.
One down.. Another to go, cheats always get caught out, just a matter of time— Amir Khan (@AmirKingKhan) May 31, 2015
Much of the speculation that this was directed at Brook is derived from the fact that Brook's friend and stablemate, Kid Galahad, was just recently issued a two-year ban for testing positive for steroid Stanolozol after his last fight -- well, that combined with the fact that Khan and Brook can't help but take swipes at one another at every given opportunity. Both Khan and Brook fought and won their respective matches over the weekend and routinely lambaste each other in the media, social and otherwise.
Whether or not there is any credence to this twitter accusation (or so it appears anyway), is really anyone's guess. But it looks as if Amir was conscious enough to not directly name the person he was referring to, in order to avoid any potential litigation. My only real question is does this tweet, if actually directed at Brook, serve Amir any benefit other than to piss off Brook (which may be satisfying enough for Khan)? I'd simply suggest settling it once and for all in the ring so we can end this longstanding soap opera.

Good Oval Mirror Bathroom Image – The washroom has actually come method the previous one hundred years. When just a fundamental tub set in front of the living room fire as well as full of buckets of water, the bathing experience is currently a high-end in almost every western house. At that time, a “shower room” was something just the well-off as well as privileged might manage to have in their home. It was this pattern which result in the mass production of bathroom items. The Edwardian and also Victorian designs of the moment are still a popular selection today. They look beautiful in a rental property or home washroom, as well as never ever loose their charm in regards to style. Today, many thanks to innovative pipes and also modern-day innovation, the washroom might well have actually developed as far as it can. With luxury steam bath and also hydrotherapy baths, it’s hard to think of just how washrooms might obtain any more innovative. That said, the restroom, like any kind of space in the house, is ever before altering in regards to design fads.
Here we check out the five most prominent styles of bathroom designs. Standard, Country, Shoddy chic, Contemporary and also Dream. The Conventional shower room could mean either typical in regards to Edwardian or Victorian design, or in respect to a standard white shower room with standard hygienic ware as well as bathroom. Right here, we’ll be considering the design of shower room layout where everything started. The Edwardian washroom. Over the previous years, with the appeal of TV programs like Transforming Spaces, the fad for old-fashioned washrooms has seen a real upswing. An uncommon treasure of an old sandal bathroom or rusty traditional faucet could be found at a scrap lawn or in an avoid, yet thankfully producers are staying on par with demand with masterfully crafted traditional shower room items.
Particular rooms only operate in specific residences, so if you’re staying in a modern-day high home the standard bathroom isn’t really going to benefit you. If you have an old home or vacation home resort this style of washroom is one you ought to absolutely think about. Generally, the bath is the centre piece attraction of the typical washroom. A free-standing roll-top or slipper bathroom sits proudly on a dark sleek flooring, as well as just if going for a typical continental design bathroom will an inset or sunken bathtub hold allure. Either a wall-mounted faucet or a free-standing one looks sophisticated. Deep ridges and curved angles are just what makes the traditional hygienic ware what it is – vibrant as well as masculine.
When decorating a conventional shower room both soft tones and also strong colours can work well. Strong tones of browns, maroons and environment-friendlies provide a great warmth to the space, however make certain the bathroom is well lit, perhaps with a lush chandelier. With the right colours, antique gold could look far better compared to chrome. Opt for drapes, never ever blinds. If choosing a vanity device rather than a standard basin and pedestal, choose an oak or cherry surface; or the white Cynk vanity unit is a great appearance with standard bathrooms and bathrooms.
Among one of the most attractive features of the typical restroom is mess provides it even more of a lived-in result, thus enhancing the standard appearance. Do not hesitate to put lots of pictures on the walls black and also white family members portraits in gold structures are a good appearance. A chest of drawers or corner table with scented candles, aromatherapy oils or blossoms will really bring the space to life. As a finishing touch an old style collection of weighing scales, a big framed mirror or cumbersome conventional radiator will give the room that comfortable antique feeling. The nation style restroom is probably the easiest sort of style to develop, as well as like the standard washroom only truly functions well within the ideal house. The classic nation appearance is best connected with flower wallpaper, high beam of lights, container fuss and also a bath cover. Complying with the typical design, cast iron bathrooms and also deep ridged hygienic ware are just what offers the country restroom its classic appearance.
Inspect, flower or plaid drapes are chosen over roller blinds, and shutters, though rare in England, supply an excellent form of personal privacy in addition to including in the country effect. Wood plays a big part in this look, and also almost all furnishings works well in this setting, specifically beech, maple, ash and also oak vanity systems and also closets. Either ceramic tiles or wooden floorings could be made use of. Floor tiles need to be a rustic colour, and can be made use of to create fancy mosaics. Wooden floorings ought to be varnished to match the furniture. Decorating may see a stenciled concept used as a boundary, as well as the strategy of scrubing paint on the wall surfaces with a sponge offers the room that used all-natural look.
Bathrooms with high degree cisterns and also draw chains are really unusual these days, but a must have for the nation washroom, as are conventional faucets for the bathroom as well as basin. Almost any type of sort of free-standing bathroom will certainly match the nation shower room. If wanting to have a shower a tiled walk-in shower is the suggested alternative with a drape to conceal the area. For the last touch add wicker baskets loaded with pot pouri, cord basket shelves and also elegant wall surface lights. “Shoddy stylish”, a reasonably new phrase used to define area designs, is an odd blend of forget and also design. It is among one of the most tough restroom layouts to produce, as well as it takes a bold choice to choose this bathroom design. It likely attains its full potential in a continental residence, either a French chateau or old Spanish villa.
The absolute opposite of an equipped shower room, the worn-out chic appearance is a mismatch of styles and items. You can also do the unforeseen, like put a put a refrigerator in the corner. Absolutely nothing is anticipated to match as well as pipework as well as pipes get on show as opposed to hidden. This design is ideal suited to those that have actually acquired a bathroom as well as wish to upgrade it a little rather than fork out on an all new washroom collection. The trick to design is neutral tones with a couple of dark shades. For the wall surfaces choose a matte or level wall paint. Pale golds and also yellows work particularly well as does floral or examine patterned wallpaper.
As with the nation as well as conventional bathrooms, cast iron baths are a must. Either a roll-top or sandal bathroom will certainly do, and although you do not desire holes or rust, the extra shabby it looks the much better. Even take into consideration running sandpaper over the paint job and also claw feet. It’s always worth looking out for old fittings at antique stores and also cars and truck boot sales. Counter top basins are very suggested in this setup, as well as the watch out for extremely uncommon enhanced layouts. Put it on a washstand or run-down vanity unit. Add special accessories and antique framed mirrors.
Modern washrooms are about just what you make with the area you have. Within many bathrooms there is little space to deal with, so making the most of the area is essential. This is why fitted restroom suites are now so prominent. Having bathroom furniture made to gauge is among one of the most functional layout solutions when redesigning the restroom. The number of of us have had a restroom with a chaotic airing cabinet? With the modern bathroom there’s no need to cram your toiletries, towels and cleaning up liquids around the boiler. With fitted vanity devices, storage systems and closets you’ll have all the area you require.
When checking out modern shower room layout, wall-hung furnishings needs to get a mention. White gloss will never ever go out of fashion, but much more lately furnishings coatings such as wenge, beech and maple have made an actual development in appeal. As well as the furniture, wall-hung hygienic ware is a fantastic space-saving solution while offering the shower room a modern feeling. Hid tank devices are an even more eye-pleasing appearance compared to the conventional close-coupled toilet.
Showerbaths are a great useful way of enhancing the space, to ensure that you have the comfort of both showering as well as showering. Walk-in showers are additionally preferred in the modern washroom, and if acquiring a shower unit for the modern-day shower room pick one with a chrome framework over white. Chrome as well as stainless-steel are the best selection in the modern washroom, and also faucets and bath mixers are readily available in a number of contemporary layouts, as opposed to the traditional style taps. Select chrome towel rails over basic white radiators, as well as matching chrome devices.
Don’t hesitate to enhance with strong colours when tiling or painting, obtaining the contrast right with the chrome and also the gloss. If making use of drapes be subtle with the layouts and colours, however ideally choose elegant roller blinds. Daring to be anything greater than standard, the fantasy bathroom style allows you be genuinely cutting-edge with your fantasies as well as tastes. With the emphasis on futuristic, this design of bathroom is the reverse of the reactionary. The fantasy design is preferably exclusive to only bigger washrooms, just like all advanced interior decoration big open spaces are just what brings the space with each other. Steam cabins and whirlpool bathrooms are the optimal option for showering as well as bathing. Or incorporate both will certainly a well developed bath screen and a glass shower panel. Because of their marginal effect, Walk-in showers also work well with modern-day tiling, chrome shower components and also stylish shower lights.
For the hygienic ware opt for wall-hung or typical close-coupled commode as well as basin with stand with severe angles and also a contemporary layout. Abstract towel rails as well as wenge wall-hung furniture fit well in the fantasy shower room, giving it that calm virtually surreal appearance. The ultimate deluxe in a fantasy washroom would have to be a water-proof TELEVISION. You might also think of increasing the shower room up as gym, complete with exercise bike and rowing equipment. Accessories ought to be unobtrusive, so select things like little piles of pebbles and modern-day wall prints over candle lights and nick-nacks.

The reason that we are leading CBD oil distributors in the U.S. is because of the quality and effectiveness of our products. Our hemp has been specifically grown for its medicinal purposes. We (our team, our Hemp Producers, and our Oil Manufacturer) takes great care to grow strains of hemp that are THC Free and/or virtually THC free while at the same time the cannabinoids are enhanced for optimal benefits.
Best CBD on Amazon. Currently, Amazon states they do not allow the sale of CBD products on their platform, as it is listed as a prohibited product. However, there are plenty hemp derived CBD oils on Amazon to choose from, many show casing their ability to relieve symptoms of pain, anxiety, sleep and depression. The health benefits of cannabis derived CBD oils tend to surpass those of hemp derived CBD oils, as the oils are derived from different parts of the hemp plant. Even so, the derived CBD is virtually the same and provides an array of benefits.
I am Julie Ryan, a Pain Management Blogger, Surviver and Advising expert. Besides an expert blogger, I also research about CBD oil and its medical benefits. My intention with this website is to share what I have been learning about CBD oil from my researches and experiences. So the objective of my presence here is to make you well educated about CBD oil.
CBD’s effect on homeostasis is believed to be why those in need of nutrition can experience an appetite increase and those with excess weight can experience an appetite decrease. The reason for this is that CBD is an adaptogen. Referred to by some scientists as “the boy scout molecule” because it always does the right thing in any given situation. The Journal of Psychopharmacology tested this theory on rats in 2012. The researchers wanted to see how three common cannabinoids, including CBN, CBD, and CBG, affected the appetite of the rats. The study concluded that both CBD and CBG worked to reduce the rat’s appetite.
Love you podcast and thanks so much for this post! I was wondering if there has been any changes in the Amazon policy since the farm bill passed. I feel like I’m seeing a lot more CBD products listed on Amazon. Also, the prices are dirt cheap compared to buying from other distributors. Is this because of competition on Amazon or that they are selling lower quality brands? Thanks again for everything you do.
Kat’s Naturals not only takes the quality of its products seriously, but it also ensures that their contents are produced in a way that’s as environmentally friendly as possible. The essential oils in its best-selling Heal CBD Hemp Oil, for example, are harvested in a sustainable manner, while the hemp that goes into its range more generally is completely organically grown. And in a customer-friendly move, Kat’s Naturals provides CBD oil blends specifically tailored to users’ needs, whether they want to boost metabolism, get a good night’s rest or simply feel freer from muscle pain. Perhaps the most innovative Kat’s Naturals product, though, is its CBD-containing capsaicin cream. This topical owes its heat in part to a component commonly found within chili peppers, and the company’s website claims that it also helps give respite to neuropathy sufferers and those with Raynaud syndrome.
With all of the information inundating the internet about CBD oil, many people are curious, can CBD help with weight loss? A study done in 2012 documented the way that cannabinol and cannabidiol affected the feeding patterns in rats. After dosing rats with CBD, the scientists observed that they ate less; this set the stage for more research to be done to continue to show the weight loss opportunities with CBD. It also brought into light a new use for CBD as an appetite suppressant. In addition to that, a report in India Times in 2016 said that cannabis users show a lower rate of obesity and diabetes. Science has also demonstrated links between the use of cannabis and metabolism for many years.
This is likely why CBD is capable of stimulating appetite among people that are in dire need of nutrition (such as cancer patients on chemotherapy), while at the same time suppressing appetite in those who need to lose weight. The active compound helps keep the body in balance, so if you need weight gain it can help you eat, but if you are overweight, it may be able to help curb your desire to chow down.

There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that athletes use marijuana as a way to relieve stress and regain their effects. Ryan Vandrey, a professor at Johns Hopkins Medical School, is studying the use of Cannabis and cannabinoids in the treatment of health problems. The problem, he explained, is that the CBD has entered the market without any research that supports the drugs regulated by the FDA.

Once, I had an enormous kitchen with room to leave all gadgets on the worktops and lots of big cupboards. Now I don't, so baking goes like this:
Heave trusty Kenwood out of cupboard. It's made of cast iron or similar and weighs a ton.
Get out steps to reach down flour from tins which live on top of fridge.
Use steps again to reach baking powder, vanilla etc.
Wish I were taller.
Go into another room for baking tray and muffin cases.
Get out ingredients and put every single item away just as soon as the substance is in the mixing bowl.
Put Kenwood back in cupboard to make room for doling out cake mixture.
Put tray in oven.
Wash up immediately.
Wait thirty five minutes et voilà, as Raymond Blanc would say.
The cloth was a present from ramblingfancy. It's far too pretty to use as a tea towel.

For the next few days we’re going to be concentrating on point of view. Sometimes it’s tempting to write all our stories in the same kind of voice. Not this week. I’m going to give you a real work out and take you through many different types of voice and story.
Ready? Let’s get started.
Write A Story Using The First Person Voice
- The whole thing should be told in the “I” voice.
- It should, for preference, be a story about something that happened/is happening to the person telling the story.
- When writing in the first person you can never allow your narrative to stray inside another character’s head. The “I” character can speculate about what other people are thinking, but everything must come from their perspective.
- If you fancy it, try writing the same story over the next few days, but each day from a different perspective.

The Amy Poehler NBC comedy Parks and Recreation lasted 125 episodes across seven seasons from 2009-15. And with so many shows being rebooted and revived in recent years, many diehard fans have been wondering if the the show could be next.
Poehler and Nick Offerman (who played Ron Swanson on the show) appeared on The Ellen Show on Thursday and talked about the potential for the show's return.
"I'll speak for everybody and say we would all do it," Poehler said. "I think we would all do it someday. It would be amazing."
Offerman said for the show to come back, the cast would need to add to famous celebrity as a recurring cast member — Beyoncé Knowles.
"We said if Beyoncé will play the mayor, we'll bring the show back," Offerman said.
While he may have been joking, fans on social media were already jumping at the idea of seeing a return to Pawnee, Indiana.
Don't hint at doing a Parks and Recreation reunion and not follow through you cowards— Jack Oliver (@jackoliver__) May 24, 2018
"Don't hint at doing a Parks and Recreation reunion and not follow through you cowards," one fan wrote.
"THIS. MUST. HAPPEN," wrote another.
Poeehler and Offerman were on Ellen to promote an upcoming six-episode competition series called Making It. The show is described as having eight artisans take on projects to gain the votes from the judges panel. Said panel includes Poehler, Offerman, Simon Doonan and Dayna Isom Johnson. The show debuts on NBC on July 31.
While a revival of Parks and Recreation would be excellent for fans, getting back the entire cast might take some serious cash and great timing. Numerous cast members have moved on to other projects, including Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers, Jurassic World), Aubrey Plaza (currently starring in the FX X-Men series Legion), Aziz Ansari (creator and star of the award-winning Netflix series Master of None) and Retta (a cast member on the recently-renewed NBC comedy Good Girls).
Numerous network shows were canceled in recent weeks. But one show that managed to find a second life on NBC was Brooklyn Nine-Nine, another series made by Parks and Recreation creator Michael Schur.
NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt explained why the network revived the show in a recent Entertainment Weekly interview.3comments
"Brooklyn is a show our company produces for Fox, so it's a show that's very close to us," he said. "I've been saying to certain people in the press that if we knew Andy Samberg was going to be cast in that show, we never would have sold it to Fox. We've been watching it closely ever since."
"We jumped on it really quickly and are thrilled to have it and think it fits into our brand of comedy in many ways better than it fit into Fox's brand of comedy," Greenblatt continued. "It feels like it goes along shows like A.P. Bio, Will & Grace, Superstore, and The Good Place. ... It's also one of the few comedies in recent years that does a robust international number, and it has a syndication upside, which a lot of shows don't have anymore."
