The crash occurred on the morning of January 29 on State Road 520 in Orange County. At approximately 10:15 a.m., an eastbound Nissan SUV observed a bicyclist in the shoulder of State Road 520. The Nissan driver changed from the right lane to the left lane to allow the bicyclist more room.
The bicycle was also headed eastbound and was hauling a trailer with a dog. When the Nissan changed lanes, an eastbound Toyota Scion tried to move from the left lane to the right lane to pass the Nissan, and the driver of the Toyota lost control. The Toyota collided with the right side of the Nissan, then rotated and hit the bicycle.
The bicyclist sustained severe injuries, and emergency crews responding to the scene transported him to AdventHealth East Orlando. He later died of his injuries at the hospital. Officials have not yet released the bicyclist's name, age, or city of residence. The dog traveling with him reportedly survived the accident.
The driver of the Nissan has been identified as 42-year-old Brian Merritt, of Apopka, Florida. Merritt was not injured in the crash. The driver of the Toyota has been identified as 26-year-old Joshua Knight, of Orlando, Florida. Knight sustained minor injuries, but it is not clear if he required medical treatment beyond the scene.
Florida Highway Patrol is still investigating the crash and has not yet released further information.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II dies aged 96
Today I was deeply saddened and pained to hear about the death of The Queen, Britain's longest-serving monarch, who away earlier this afternoon at the age of 96 after 70 years on the throne. Buckingham Palace said the Queen "died peacefully" this afternoon at Balmoral. The Queen's eldest son, Charles, who has now ascended the throne and will be known as King Charles III, paid tribute to his much-loved mother. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be remembered as a stalwart of our times. She provided inspiring leadership to her nation and people.
The King and Camilla, now the Queen Consort, will remain at Balmoral on Thursday night and return to London on Friday.
Buckingham Palace had confirmed on Thursday lunchtime that Queen Elizabeth II had been under medical supervision after her doctors had become "concerned" about her health. Tributes poured in following the death of the Queen earlier this afternoon on a dark, gloomy, and rainy day in the UK. Listening to the bulletins as rain pours down felt fitting. Feels as if even god is crying. She served the country so dutifully all the way to the end.
My thoughts are with her family at this time. Her Majesty's decades of dedication and service have been unwavering, and your legacy will live on. This is an end of a great era in global history, and I am not sure anyone can quite match the long service and dedication that she gave. Ma'am, thank you for everything. We will be forever indebted to you.

Museums, archives and libraries
Museums in Modena
Galleria Estense
Estense Gallery is among the most important art collections in Italy. It is evidence that the Este Dynasty was not solely interested in painting and sculpture, but also collected archeological pieces and traditional arts and crafts. Bernini's marble bust of Francis I d'Este, a Velázquez portrait of Francis I, Cosmè Tura's "Saint Anthony of Padua", Correggio's "Madonna and Christ Child", a triptych by El Greco, and a crucifix by Guido Reni are particularly noteworthy. The collection focuses prominently on painting in the Po valley area between the 1300s and the 1700s.
Palazzo dei Musei (Museums Palace)
The Palazzo dei Musei, built in the mid-18th century, initially housed the military arsenal. Designed by the Duke Francesco III d'Este to accommodate the General House of the Poor, the building was renovated by Pietro Termanini in 1769. In 1788 it was turned into the House of Crafts. It is now the Palace of Museums, containing a handful of key cultural institutions. On the ground floor, in the northern courtyard, is the reception area for all of them.
Biblioteca Estense
The Estense Library has a collection that includes printed books, incunabula and a large assortment of illuminated manuscripts from the 14th to the 16th centuries. The centrepiece is the Bible that belonged to Borso d'Este, a 15th-century masterwork of illuminated miniature of the Ferrara School.
Museo lapidario romano
Situated in the west wing of the Palazzo dei Musei, the section of Roman inscribed stone slabs and tablets houses the monumental testimonies of Mutina which have come to light over the past forty years following a series of discoveries in the areas outside the perimeter of the Roman city occupied in the imperial age by a monumental necropolis.
Gipsoteca Graziosi (Giuseppe Graziosi Plaster Cast Museum)
The Giuseppe Graziosi Fund is made up of the plaster cast museum, opened in 1984 following the acquisition of a considerable collection of moulded, painted and graphic works by the artist, donated by his children Paolo Graziosi and Rosetta Graziosi Vespignani.
Cathedral Museums
Inside the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Modena these museums are of fundamental importance as they are closely linked to the history of the cathedral.
Aedes Muratoriana
In the heart of Modena, in one of the most evocative areas of the city, is the Aedes Muratoriana. It comprises a group of buildings at number 1 Via della Pomposa, in the square of the same name, which is also the site of the church of Santa Maria della Pomposa and the rectory of Lodovico Antonio Muratori (1672-1750) with its garden.
FMAV - Museo della Figurina Collection
The Museo della Figurina contains a unique collection of small colour picture cards that was created by the passionate collector Giuseppe Panini. The Museo della Figurina is owned by the Fondazione Modena Arti Visive (FMAV)
University museums
Museo Lapidario Estense (Estense Lapidary Museum)
Established upon the wish of Duke Francis IV d'Este in 1828, the Lapidary Museum was the first national museum for public use in Italy. It remains one of the most important in the region for the quality of the exhibits. These include marble sarcophagi from Ravenna from around the second and third centuries, and sundry reliefs and carved slabs from a similar era. The permanent exhibition is set under the portico of the internal courtyard of the Palazzo dei Musei.
Novi Ark Archaeological Park
Excavations below Novi Sad Park, before it became a huge underground car park in 2010, unearthed significant archaeological finds from various eras of the Roman period. The site was a peripheral section of the ancient city of Mutina, crossed by a large cobblestone street. The excavation also brought to light a necropolis, with numerous tombs and funerary monuments, two rural buildings, tanks and production facilities, and three large waste dumps containing amphorae and other archeological materials. The findings are placed in a chronological period between the first century BC and fifth century AD.
Casa Museo Luciano Pavarotti (Luciano Pavarotti House museum)
Luciano Pavarotti Foundation opens extraordinarily the doors of Casa Pavarotti, transformed into House Museum through the set-up of a path that will allow to know the man and the artist Luciano Pavarotti.
Laboratory of mathematical machines
The Laboratory of mathematical machines (the MMLab), at the University of Modena e Reggio Emilia,contains a collection of geometrical instruments (called 'mathematical machines').
Museum of astronomy and geophysics
The Museum of Astronomy and Geophysics is located in the historic headquarters of the Geophysics Observatory, precisely in the east tower of the Ducal Palace.
Museum of zoology and comparativa anatomy
The zoological collections include about 3,500 naturalized vertebrates (birds, mammals, fish, reptiles), of which about 100 belong to the vertebrate fauna of the Modenese area; about 1,000 vertebrates preserved in liquid (fish and reptiles in particular), 250 skeletons and anatomical parts of vertebrates, several hundred invertebrates preserved in alcohol or formalin.
MUSEUM OF PALEONTOLOGY
The Museum of Paleontology, founded in 1776 at the behest of Duke Francesco III D'Este, was born as an integral part of the Natural History Museum.
Gemma 1786. Estense Mineralogical and Geological Museum
The vicissitudes that have accompanied the origin of "Gemma 1786", the Estense Mineralogical and Geological Museum of the Earth Sciences Department, reflect the cultural evolution that, during time, has characterized the city of Modena and its territory.
The Civic Museum of Modena
The Civic Museum of Modena is an exceptional archive of stories and contexts, techniques and forms that range from prehistory to the present.
Motor museums
Maserati Factory and Showroom
Maserati is one of the most fascinating car production companies with a long history of appeal, tradition and sporting success.
Stanguellini museum
In the fascinating Stanguellini Museum founded in 1996 by Francesco, Vittorio's son, visitors can survey the automobile vicissitudes of this family of historic manufacturers, admiring their finest cars, motorcycles, accessories, photographs, reviews and the advertising material of the epoch.
Umberto Panini historic cars and motorcycles collection
This museum houses one of the world's most complete Maserati collections, including the A6GCS Berlinetta Pininfarina, of which only four were made, which with its "barchetta" body was a three-time winner of its category in the Mille Miglia.


Welcoming and more than a little eccentric, Andersonville is known for its Swedish roots and huge LGBTQ+ community. The low-slung brick buildings and family-owned restaurants along Clark Street give off a small-town-Main-Street vibe. The offerings are diverse — you can find Swedish pastry, craft beer, and Korean BBQ in one block. Locals are devoted to indie businesses, so it's the perfect spot to browse for vintage or one-of-a-kind pieces.


We build boards differently at Treehouse. In our workshops and retreats we start with the most sustainable, locally sourced EPS foam blanks available and then laminate your finished shape using the highest quality Australian fibreglass, natural fibres and bio-based epoxy resins. Our glassing materials and method at Treehouse ensure that you get a high performing, light weight board that is more durable and sustainable than the majority of boards on the market. In fact, we were the first Australian manufacturer to be endorsed by Sustain Surf's Ecoboard Project.
Beyond the materials we use, we also use a different process to glass our boards. Adopting techniques from high-end composites manufacture Dry Lap Rotational Glassing is a process we've developed that reduces resin wastage and increases board strength. All boards shaped in our workshops and retreats are glassed using this process.
We aim to assist all our customers in creating a very unique and personalised surfboard. We cannot however, offer unlimited glassing styles and at the same time stay true to our sustainability focus. We have developed the five glassing styles pictured below that work well with our materials and processes.
B. Abstract Pigment: Glassed with up to three different colours swirled, marbled or streaked in an abstract pattern. Colour one or two sides. Stringer or stringerless options. Refer colour options below.
D. Colour Pigment: Colour one or two sides of the board with a solid colour finish. Please note: translucent tint options are available. Refer colour options below.
E. Cork Deck: Further increase the strength of your board by adding a cork deck. After extensive experimenting and testing we've found that cork applied between layers of fibreglass dramatically increases the compressive strength of the deck without adding stiffness to the board. Please note: this is not an exposed cork deck which adds no strength to the board. This option is an additional cost which will be billed separately.
If you have some artwork or a logo that you would like applied to your board please let us know a minimum of three weeks before you attend a workshop or retreat. Costs will vary depending on the size and colour of the artwork and the glassing option that you choose. All our graphics are printed externally so please contact us for a quote.
When you attend a Treehouse ECOBOARD retreat you will be glassing your own board with Dave's expert guidance. You will leave the retreat with a completed board as well as an undestanding of our epoxy glassing process. If you are doing a School of Shape 1 day shaping workshop your board will be completed within two weeks. Glassing of your board will start immediately after your shaping workshop. It is essential that you have selected a glassing style prior to the completion of the workshop.


If you reread the previous entry closely, you'll note that while denigrating the logic and exposing the irony of Mr. Toronyi-Lalic's statement on the social impact of el Sistema, I didn't actually dispute the statement itself. Rather than risk the copious wrath of the internet, I'll state from the outset that he's wrong, of course, but I also understand precisely why he expressed himself in the manner he did.
There's an element of inflammatory journalistic license in his writing, certainly. Provocative statements, no matter how poorly informed, make for good reading, and good reading makes for good business if you're in media. Personalities such as Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow, and on the other side of the political spectrum, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly (apologies to my European readership if these names are unfamiliar) have made careers of strongly expressed editorial, trading off popular outrage and indignation while paying scant service to ancillary considerations such as the truth or reality. Given the attention Mr. Toronyi-Lalic garnered by his statement describing el Sistema as "voodoo," the approach certainly works.
But I'm still hesitant to condemn him for his choice of words, lest I be accused of a double standard. Recently in the LinkedIn Sistema Global group, two individuals who have made significant contributions to el Sistema worldwide went on the record describing elements of the program as "magic." Context is everything of course, and they were referring to subtle elements of the relationship between music and social action, rather than dismissing it all outright – but the fact remains that Sistema supporters have similar words in their vocabulary and use them. "Voodoo" has more pejorative (and racial, curiously) connotations than "magic," but both invoke the supernatural. For my part, I cite the third of Clarke's Three Laws, and resist the notion that there's anything mystical about Sistema, just much we have yet to comprehend fully about what is truly a very advanced technology.
And there's the rub. Sistema can look like voodoo or magic because the specific mechanics of social action through music, while frequently expressed as generalizations that do not justify the exclusive use of the art, are not well understood. Not understood is not synonymous with nonexistent or non-effective. Exactly like a Higgs Boson, we accept the premise, that of music's potential for social impact, on the basis of logical proposition long before the data manifests to prove the point empirically. Logical proposition is by far the stronger of the two positions, for that matter: the existence of the Higgs Boson was established by gathering data from thousands of particle collisions… but CERN scientists would never have looked for it could they have explained the existence of the universe any other way.
As for Mr. Toronyi-Lalic and his blanket dismissal of Venezuela's achievements, couched in what is actually a fairly positive review (albeit one replete with gauche attempts at witticisms), his utter irrelevance was firmly established by the subsequent announcement of the expansion of England's In Harmony programs to four new sites. The government and the people clearly overwhelmingly agree: Sistema may be voodoo, but it works.
Hmmmm… After nearly four years of rigorous, and intensive study of the El Sistema world – through conversations with El Sistema gurus (self proclaimed or otherwise), discussions with Maestro Abreu and his executive in El Sistema in Venezuela, dozens of professional and amateur musicians, a plethora of music teachers and music educationalists, teachers from the Venezuelan Sistema, students and graduates for the Venezuelan Sistema and other Sistema's around the globe, and through developing and establishing the very first El Sistema-based program here in Australia – I have come to the conclusion that "music" does NOT change anyone's lives at all. It doesn't casue you to be more brilliant. Nor does it make you more likely to become a doctor or a super-conductor.
To suggest that "music changes lives" is a bit like saying "water causes life". It doesn't.
Music doesn't really do anything at all in this context. And El Sistema isn't magic, or a phenomenon or voodoo. It's something much more complex and tangible than that.
El Sistema is actually real system – despite what you hear around the traps about there being "no system". That came from something Maestro Abreu said which seriously got lost in the translation. "El Sistema" was the name they called it, simply to bundle everything they did until a single catchphrase. What it isn't, is a "formula". It's a comprehensive collection of programs and components bundled together – it's flexible too!
El Sistema transforms lives because it bundles a number of important and significant elements together to create an ingenious construct for transformation processes to take place.
It is the music plus the orchestra plus the teachers plus the focused attention on the children plus the fun it is for them plus the getting them off the streets plus the engagement with the parents and the community plus the difficulty of learning to play an orchestral instrument plus giving children the choice plus not treating children like they are stupid plus giving children a challenge plus giving them access to wonderful music plus using teaching artists who know how to play their instrument really well plus very high grade teaching plus multiple hours per day several days a week plus constant exposure to high class classical music concerts plus the fact it's classical music plus a rigorous performance schedule plus making all thye children and their parents feel special plus incrediible amounts of organisation plus zealous fervour in its organisation plus a lot of love and passion all around.
The trouble with folks like Igor Toronyi-Lalic, is they make glib and facile remarks about things they have little or no understanding about and show their ignorance more than anything else, of something which is entirely remarkable. Compare with someone like Ivan Hewitt in his article, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/classicalmusic/9319931/El-Sistema-and-Gustavo-Dudamel-rescuing-children-with-music.html – where he atually went to Venezuela and interviewed children, the teachers and the managers of the Sistema programs there.
It's the entirety of El Sistema that makes it what it is. Not magic, not even unique in its componentry, just unique in its all-encompassing process and the endlessly flexible combination of all it components.
The magic everyone keeps refering to, is in the lives of the people who are affected by it – it does feel magical. They feel transformed. But as for El Sistema being "magic"? No. It's just plain common sense.


News of the death of a research assistant, killed by a man-eating lion in Zimbabwe, reaches those closes to her. Jed Banks, a Special Forces soldier serving in Afghanistan; Professor Christine Wallis in South Africa; and Hassan bin Zayid, a hotel magnate in Zambia. The victim was respectively their daughter, protegee and lover.


If you're ready to take your love of sugar off of the screen and into the kitchen, have I got a book for you! My first cookbook, The Sweet Book of Candy Making, was made with love, care, and a whoooole lot of sugar. The recipes were developed and tested in my very own kitchen, and from the beginning they were designed with the home candy-maker in mind. No giant quantities or sketchy scaled-down industrial recipes here!
This book was written for all abilities, from kitchen novices to confident candy-makers. Beginners will find plenty of tutorials and tips, while experienced cooks can be inspired by more complicated recipes.
Every single recipe has a beautiful full-color photo (because aren't cookbooks without photos the worst?!), and many include sidebars, tips, and variations to help you get creative in the kitchen!
The recipe selection ranges from classics like Peanut Brittle, Salt Water Taffy, and Dark Chocolate Truffles, to more unique offerings like Passion Fruit Marshmallows, Pistachio Marzipan Squares, and Mango-Macadamia Nut Caramels.
Sometimes it's easier to understand how to make a recipe when you have a visual guide. That's why this cookbook includes over two dozen photo tutorials, demonstrating everything from the basics, like rolling chocolate truffles, to more advanced skills, like making spun sugar or old-fashioned fondant.
At the beginning of every recipe chapter there's a troubleshooting guide, to help avoid common pitfalls associated with that type of candy. Want to avoid sticky lollipops, grainy fudge, and caramels that are too soft? Check out these tips before you begin!
The last section is devoted to sugar decorations, like the Sugar Spirals above. These recipes use skills previously taught, like cooking sugar and tempering chocolate, to create gorgeous edible decorations. Learn how to spin sugar, create chocolate bowls, and use transfer sheets to make your candy miniature works of art.
If you'd like to order The Sweet Book of Candy Making, the book is available online from the following websites: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indie Bound, and QBookShop. You can also buy The Sweet Book of Candy Making as an e-book for these readers: Kindle, Nook, and iTunes.


Autoformatting in Microsoft Excel has caused many a headache—but now, a new study shows that one in five genetics papers in top scientific journals contains errors from the program, The Washington Post reports. The errors often arose when gene names in a spreadsheet were automatically changed to calendar dates or numerical values. For example, one gene called Septin-2 is commonly shortened to SEPT2, but is changed to 2-SEP and stored as the date 2 September 2016 by Excel. The researchers, who published their analysis in Genome Biology , say the issue can be fixed by formatting Excel columns as text and remaining vigilant—or switching to Google Sheets, where gene names are stored exactly as they're entered.

Following HD DVD's defeat, Toshiba announced that it was working on new upconverting technology that could deliver picture quality near that of Blu-ray. The company has finally unveiled its XDE, or "eXtended Detail Enhancement," technology. Available in Toshiba's new XD-E500 DVD player, XDE provides upconversion from 480i/p up to 1080p and offers user selectable picture enhancement modes that bring standard DVD quality closer to the HD experience.
Toshiba America Consumer Products, L.L.C. ("Toshiba") today announces its new video enhancement technology for DVD with the introduction of the XD-E500. XDE, or "eXtended Detail Enhancement," is more than just DVD upconversion. XDE takes DVD picture quality to a whole new level. In addition to providing upconversion from 480i/p up to 1080p, XDE offers user selectable picture enhancement modes that allow for greater detail, more vivid colors and stronger contrast that bring standard DVD quality closer to the HD experience. XDE technology lets consumers enjoy their existing DVD libraries in a whole new way. Add a comment
Optical Disc Makers At Full Production Capacity Despite Price Hikes
While manufacturers like CMC Magnetics have raised the price of CD-R and DVD+R/-R discs by 10%, this hasn't stopped clients from placing OEM orders. With small makers in China and Taiwan stopping production, clients have placed urgent orders with Taiwan's leading disc makers. According to DigiTimes, some disc makers have received so many orders that they are at full production capacity.
Although CMC Magnetics, the largest Taiwan-based OEM maker of blank optical discs, has raised its OEM quotes for CD-R and DVD+R/-R discs by 10% on average and some fellow makers in Taiwan have followed or will follow suit, a few leading Taiwan-based makers have received so many urgent orders for CD-R and/or DVD+R/-R discs recently as to fully occupy their production capacities, according to industry sources in Taiwan.

Everyone becomes anxious before an exam. Some degree of anticipatory anxiety helps in preparation and focus. Too much anxiety can cause poor outcomes. Although there is no formal DSM diagnosis of test anxiety, it is a very real phenomenon. When you have excessive uneasiness, worry, fear, or apprehension about the outcome of an exam to the point that it hinders your performance or impairs the quality of your life, it becomes a problem.
1. Get a good night's sleep before an exam.
2. Make sure to eat breakfast to enhance test performance.
3. Be well prepared for the test.
4. Exercise can be a big benefit in dealing with anxiety. Yoga can help too!
5. Avoid caffeinated drinks – they can worsen anxiety!
6. If problems persist, learn some relaxation techniques - diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or visual imagery. Some additional insights from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) can be found HERE.
7. Counseling or therapy can be beneficial in dealing with the stress that comes with taking exams. You can seek counseling at Counseling and Psychological Services department at your school or through Learning Services.
8. For more severe anxiety, medications called as the beta-blockers (such as propranolol or metoprolol) can be helpful. These are used to treat blood pressure and reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety. Discussing this and other medication options with your doctor is helpful in determining if they are right for you.

That report by an American mom you posted, really reflects the American attitude about "owning" children(like a car). And, of course, you always have an eye on things you own.
An American aquaintance, when he came to Germany for the first time quite a number of years ago, was totally aghast when he saw lots of kids just being alone in the city, going to or coming from school, or just visiting a friend or going shopping. "In America you would be regarded as being irresponsible." he told me.
When I myself was a child, I played with my friends in the streets, or even in the nearby forest. And we did not have cell-phones in those days. They only existed in science fiction books.
And that is not because the parents have become over-protective since then.
Rather the virtual worlds seem to be more interesting to children, even young ones, than the real world. Poor children!
Thanks a lot for finding it, miriam3000.
In 1880 Mark Twain wrote the now infamous essay, "The Awful German Language", an account of his frustrations with the German language. It's about time we update his marvelous essay and see what has changed in the intervening years.
German spelling is almost perfectly phonetic; what you see is what you get. I can quite confidently read long passages from Kafka, the meaning of which I am completely and utterly ignorant.
Modern German fillers include doch, mal, bloß, denn, eben, schon, ja, halt and eigentlich. Don't ask me what they mean, just sprinkle your speech liberally with them. If in doubt, throw in a vielleicht and a wohl. I also would thoroughly recommend genau, "exactly": I've seen non-German speakers have half-hour-long telephone conversations using only this word.


Sylva Design & Build Solutions, who offer low-risk sustainable turnkey home solutions, used CaberShieldPlus on their timber frame fast-track build project. Jason Bassett, Commercial Associate at Sylva Group, explains that this first experience of using CaberShieldPlus was a very positive one. "By using CaberShieldPlus, the project was able to be continued despite bad weather and the fitting of flooring as the build progressed enabled us to deliver the programme on-time whilst limiting both the risk of falls from height and the risk of weather damage".
Norbord's tough P5 chipboard flooring has a permanent waterproof coating on both sides. CaberShieldPlus is designed with the ever-changing and unpredictable British weather in mind. The non-slip top side of the flooring ensures a safe working platform. Having never used CaberShieldPlus before, Sylva Design & Build Solutions did not know what to expect from the product but, according to Jason, "CaberShieldPlus worked perfectly for this project".

President Trump Donald John TrumpRussia's election interference is a problem for the GOP Pence to pitch trade deal during trip to Michigan: report Iran oil minister: US made 'bad mistake' in ending sanctions waivers MORE's budget proposal would cut funding for housing aid except for a federal subsidy paid to private landlords, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
Trump stands to benefit personally from such a subsidy. He owns a 4 percent stake in Starrett City, the largest subsidized housing project in the country. Between January 2016 and April 2017, Trump made at least $5 million from the complex, according to the Post.
Trump and his siblings inherited their shares in the complex from their father, Fred Trump.
The complex contains 46 buildings and more than 5,800 units and is home to nearly 15,000 people. Since May 2013, the housing complex has received $490 million in rent subsidies.
While it's not clear if Trump played a direct role in calling to keep the subsidy payments to private landlords, the president's stake in Starrett City shows how his business interests can bleed into his government role.
Trump has repeatedly faced scrutiny for his potential conflicts of interest. He has refused to divest himself of his assets, and while his two elder sons manage his business, Trump retains ownership of the company.


There they are, the six plants gotten this spring of skirret, they were babied, they were put into well dug an very fertile soil, even in the worst of the drought at least weekly they were well watered and today was harvest day.
These were two year old plants, having been slips replanted out last year after harvest, and this one was the best of all of them.
These were scrubbed, tipped and tailed, I did try one raw, carrot-parsnip cross, did nothing for me, the rest were given a light drizzle of fat and sea salt and oven roasted for 20 min, the outside for the smallest became golden brown, but most had soft melt like skin, the inside is slightly sweet, soft, creamy.. its like mashed potatoes with a hint of winter turnip mashed in.
My hubby an I stood at the pan sampling these.. not as sweet as thought, creamy, mushy, do you think you could deep fry the thin ones like a sweet potato chip and then I looked at the pan and went stop, we have almost eaten all of them and I have no photo or saved any for a recipe..
ekkk.. hubby laughed.. so while they are different, they are so good that we almost eat all in one sitting.. thankfully I did save the rest and will be doing a recipe shortly.
'The sweetest, whitest and most pleasant of roots," raves gentleman gardener John Worlidge in his 1677 Systema Horticulturae, or, The Art of Gardening. "Pleasant and wholesome," agrees Culpeper's Complete Herbal. Yet the subtle sweetness of the modest skirret, noted by Pliny as the Emperor Tiberius's favourite and a mainstay of Tudor tables, is all but lost today.
The Tudors, who delighted in "sallats", added skirret to salads as we might spring onions or radishes. Try serving it on a bed of rocket, one of their favourite salad leaves.

Hello, anyone out there know of a recipe for a pizza crust with soy flour? I've never tried soy flour, but I'm willing to try it for a pizza! I'm expecting my experimental crust to turn out a really thin, fairly hard crust. I don't know what the flavor will be like, let's hope for the best.
Looking through the "older" and original recipe posts and found this one. Has anyone tried this recipe? If you haven't perused the recipes starting with "Last Page", try it!


Milling and grinding machines make particularly high demands on compressors to supply them with reliable and constant compressed air. Milling machines don't pause for breath during operation, so oil-free and dry compressed air is top priority. The duty cycle of compressor units running a milling machine goes far beyond their duty cycle for normal dental operations. Dürr Dental's fully developed technology meets all such demands and is designed for continuous operation. High-quality system parts ensure high precision and quiet running. Compressors not only run quieter, but also last longer.
The constant, uninterrupted flow of compressed air required by milling and grinding machines makes for very long compressor duty cycles and allows for only short shut-off cycles. More moisture forms in the dryer than during normal dentistry operations after a compressor has been running for a longer time with an adsorber dryer. When the compressor is shut off, moisture in the dryer is not fully removed due to regeneration which is usually under-calculated for this application. The resulting insufficient regeneration of the dryer leads to a gradual increase in the moisture content of the compressed air.
Compressors with simple adsorption dryers are thus not suited to run such machines. The innovative membrane-drying unit from Dürr Dental means that there is no need for regeneration times. A constant supply of dry, compressed air in continuous operation is guaranteed.
According to ISO 8573_1:2010, Dürr Dental compressors fulfil compressed-air requirements for classes 1/4/1 with sterile filter, and 2/4/1 with standard fine filter. The sterile filter does not produce sterile air.


In the US the station wagon is pretty much a thing of the past. With the introduction of mini-vans and SUV's there's very little demand for the station wagon. But, here in Germany, and across Europe, the station wagon is still very popular. I think all major automobile manufactures make a station wagon that's sold here in Europe; Mercedes, BMW, VW, Audi, Saab, Volvo, Peugeot, Renault, Citron. Even Asian car makers build a station wagon that they sell here in Europe but not in the US; Mazda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai. Two of the most popular station wagons in Europe are sold buy American owned manufacturers Ford and Opel (owned by General Motors) even though they sell no such vehicle in the States.
European station wagons are not like the behemoth land cruisers that once roamed the highways of America. Like most cars in Germany, these station wagons get up and go. It's very common to be cruising along the autobahn at a 100 mph and have a station wagon of some sort blow right by you. On top of that, a high percentage of these station wagons are diesel; room, speed and economy.
Yes, there's a whole different mindset about a lot of things here in Germany and Europe and the station wagon is one of them. It's here to stay.
They all are a similar color. I never liked the station wagon, but the Germas make it look good. I like the Audi one.

Global PR Firms Take Lead in Agreement with Wikipedia
By Gini Dietrich June 19, 2014
Late last year, a Texas PR firm named Wiki PR, received a cease and desist letter from Wikipedia.
Not a gigantic firm with a huge, global presence, it would take a lot to garner the attention of an organization as large as Wikipedia.
But garner it they did…because they had created more than 300 sock puppet accounts for the sole purpose of editing pages in the online encyclopedia.
A sock puppet refers to a fake account created online for the purpose of writing reviews or trolling certain blogs anonymously.
When a person gets behind a computer screen and has the ability to remain anonymous, the things said and done can get really nasty.
It happens on social networks such as Reddit. It happens on review sites such as Amazon. And it happens on blogs and news sites every, single day.
Perhaps you remember the story of Florida pizza shop owner, Scott Van Duzer, who hugged President Obama during a campaign stop in 2012.
The President stopped by Van Duzer's restaurant to recognize him for his efforts in helping provide blood to patients in his county. What Van Duzer didn't expect was making national news…which brought out the trolls and sock puppets on his company's Yelp page.
People from all across the country began leaving negative reviews on the page, from fake accounts, to demonstrate their disdain in the entrepreneur.
Most of y'all Democrats can't afford to eat at this restaurant anyway. They don't accept food stamps."
Hundreds of anti-Obama reviewers – through sock puppets, not real accounts – flooded the page to criticize Van Duzer, his restaurant, and his political beliefs (which is kind of funny because he didn't vote for Obama).
Back to Wiki PR
According to The Independent, a publication in the U.K., the letter from Wikipedia outright accuses the firm of sock puppetry, which undermines the principles of objectivity and neutrality of the site.
We have come to the opinion that, based on the evidence we have to date, that agent(s) of your company have engaged in sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry to, among other things, make it appear as if certain articles are written by unbiased sources when in fact those articles are authored by Wiki-PR for money.
To boot, writing or editing articles on Wikipedia when money exchanges hands, is unethical. So, for instance, if you are on retainer with a client and they ask you to edit their Wikipedia page, you are being paid to do so.
This is a big no-no.
But it occurs…and not just with the PR firms that receive letters from attorneys.
PR Pros Edit Wikipedia
A study conducted last year by the Public Relations Society of America, found that 40 percent of PR professionals have edited Wikipedia.
Many professionals don't consider it unethical because they either are being asked to do it by higher ups and don't realize what they're doing is wrong or they believe it is their job to shine the very best light on their client's organizations, even if it means deleting or editing the bad stuff.
But it isn't just the agencies who ignore the paid editing ban.
The same study showed 24 percent of company pages were created by an internal PR team.
More than half of the people who were polled admitted to writing or editing Wikipedia pages at some point between 2012 and 2013.
Global PR Firms Take Lead
Which is why it's encouraging to read 11 of the largest PR firms in the world have signed an agreement to follow the Wikipedia rules. They also have promised to self-police the industry and educate their clients on the unethical business practice of editing the pages.
From the statement released:
On behalf of our firms, we recognize Wikipedia's unique and important role as a public knowledge resource. Our firms believe that it is in the best interest of our industry, and Wikipedia users at large, that Wikipedia fulfill its mission of developing an accurate and objective online encyclopedia. Therefore, it is wise for communications professionals to follow Wikipedia policies as part of ethical engagement practices.
It's a great step in the right direction.
As I told PRNewser, astroturfing, whisper campaigns, sock puppeteering, and unethical business practices are not only bad for the PR industry, they're bad for the business community at large. We need more leaders who are willing to take a stance like this.
