These Tempeh Bacon & Asparagus Canapés make a great appetiser or vegan addition to any buffet. They’re fancy enough to serve up for New Year’s Eve, but so easy to make that you might want them a bit more often than that!

For Attire Club by Fraquoh and Franchomme, 2017 was a year in which we amped up our style game with tons of information on style, fashion and lifestyle, interviews and insights in the world of clothing and aesthetics.

Residual income, in a few words, is the income that you continue to earn after the work has been completed. This is contrasted with a linear income, which is earned as the work is being done.

Whether you have been searching for an all-natural supplement to treat a specific health condition or you are looking for an all-around great choice to support your general health, one supplement which you probably have been hearing a lot about is turmeric curcumin.

I've been looking through old blog posts and bringing them together in one place over the holiday season. Here's one I wrote back in 2011 that's relevant to something I've been thinking about a lot over the holidays, especially after watching The Good Place on netflix: Jean-Paul Sartre's play No Exit.

Reading this play is actually a very accessible introduction to the ideas of the French existentialists, and particularly resonant in these days of reality TV shows which place contestants in a... Читать дальше...

The Greatest Showman is an original musical film that looks at P. T. Barnum and how he helped create show business and everything around it. How he rose from nothing to create a spectacle and a legacy that would be continued.

Happy Freekin New Year!
     Mother nature apparently is NOT in the holiday spirit!
Charleston is going to get Cold, which means folks to my west and north are going to be even colder!! The Citrus will not be happy.
     The past few days have been okay, lower 30's at night, so I was not worried. I looked at the next week or so and suddenly I was a little concerned. 28 is my "Take Action" forecasted low, I am looking down the barrel of 36-28-24-24-25-22-24-28. The highs will only peak into the upper 30's. Читать дальше...

Here are a few things that everybody ought to know, but apparently doesn't.

1. If you are looking for a file in a folder on the computer, and you know what the first few letters of the file name are, you can sort them alphabetically and type in the first couple of letters of the file name, and it will skip to the first file with that name.

Well duh, you are probably thinking, doesn't everybody know that? Apparently not, I stumbled across it twenty years ago more or less by accident... Читать дальше...

Enjoy a new FPS experience that allows you to lead a team of elite soldiers! A global terrorist organization threatens the world balance. Only one team can prevent this: The Rainbow Unit! These colors never run.

As 2017 draws to a close I thought I would capture the garden as the year turns.  I could say “in all its glory” but that would be an exaggeration as the garden has suffered from my lack of interest this year and is looking a little worse for wear.

Jake: ‘it’s not always pretty’

Pete Sixsmith, back on duty, must have spent a good five minutes applauding. I can’t think of any other reason why his seven word summary took so long to arrive. It’s worth waiting for, however, as it contains a message of hope:

December 30 Nottingham Forest 0 (0) Sunderland (1) 1 Huge win which shows the players care

December 26 Sheffield United 3 (1) Sunderland 0 (0) Comprehensively beaten by a far superior side

The Small Investor

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got in a book came from J.D. Spooner’s Do You Want To Make Money Or Would You Rather Fool Around ?,  Spooner pointed out that a big mistake many people make is not buying enough shares of a stock they like.  They may do great research, pick a great stock, and buy at the right time, but they buy so few shares that what should have been ...

Rahsaan Roland Kirk is one of my favorite musicians. I first heard him on his album, Rip, Rig, and Panic, probably in the summer of 1966 or perhaps that fall. I heard him live three times, once in Baltimore in 1969, once a couple years later (but before I went to Buffalo in 1973) and then finally in 1977, in Buffalo. This is about the first time I saw/heard him live. It's from my book, Beethoven's Anvil: Music in Mind and Culture (Basic 2001, pp 4-6).

In August I spent a lot of time out of town. Doing what? Going on guided tours, of course!

What’s High House all about?:

High House follows our female narrator who becomes particularly friendly with a man she cleans for. He ends up teaching her many things about the world, especially the dangers of climate change.

What did I think?:

This is the second story in Rosy Thornton’s short story collection, Sandlands. When I first started it, I have to admit I immediately thought: “Oh, this isn’t going to be as good ...

His life as a shadow... The part of his life which wandered to find its existence in light. Each day, with the Sun in the sky, he was there, with its intensity dependent on the gleaming source of light. He crossed by every road, and people kept the distance, afraid of their sacred quintessence to get polluted. The shadow knew the only sacred quintessence that ever existed in this world was Love. The love in people's heart would never intersect the path that shadow followed. The shadow would contemplate... Читать дальше...

A much-needed gloss on Keller's commentary, in my view: he asks if evangelicalism can survive Donald Trump & Roy Moore?

The historical reality: it DID, in fact, survive its fierce opposition to the Civil Rights movement in the mid-20th century. 1)— Bill Lindsey (@wdlindsy) December 22, 2017 As an avis rara who has had feet in both the white evangelical and the Catholic world in the U.S., who has been repuidated by the latter, here's my response to Timothy Keller's parsing-and-rebranding...

Wow.

Some eye-popping details from @JonathanMerritt regarding a study of America’s 100 largest churches:

From Boundary Brewing in Kelowna comes their "Roggenbier" a German style Red Rye Ale. The beer pours a copper colour with an off white head. The aroma consists of rye spice, bready malts, grain, fruity esters with some pronounced citrus. The flavour is of rye spice, bread, grain, citrus, citrus rind, fruity esters, yeast, herbal hops and mild bitterness. The alcohol contnet comes in at 5% with an IBU of 28.

Bollywood stars are known for their generosity and a big heart. They leave no opportunity to show their love to their dear ones. In an industry where star power is clout is weighed by the display of wealth, it is not uncommon for actors to flash their cash at every given opportunity. Bollywood is known to
splurge on marriages and they seems to never take a back-step when it comes to expensive wedding gifts. So, here are some examples when Bollywood actors chose to shower their partners with... Читать дальше...
