|Extract (2009)
|Blu-ray Comedy
|Written by Noah Fleming
|Tuesday, 22 December 2009
Jason Bateman stars in this film as the owner of an extract company, a company that makes different flavored extract like root beer. His employees are complete incompetent and it is a wonder how he ever got the company off the ground with such ineptitude. Lack of communication is what drives the force of this film and it is easy to say that it gets old after a while. Jason's character doesn't communicate with his staff or his wife, and vice versa. The only communication that goes on is between Jason's character and his best friend, a bartender played by Ben Affleck.
When a grifter, Mila Kunis, joins the extract team as a temporary employee, things begin to get dicey. She is there to get a hold of contact information for an injured employee (the one whose testicles were shot off) in order to persuade him to sue the company for everything it's worth.
Meanwhile, Jason has lustful cravings for Mila Kunis. Wondering whether he should be feeling guilty, he hires a kid to seduce his wife. Mind you, while this is an entirely idiotic idea, he did come to this decision only after being drugged with a tranquilizer. Before he is able to cancel the order, he finds that the kid went through with it and his wife accepted, many times over. The kid comes back day after day to have his wife. This is my favorite part, when the showdown between Jason's character and his wife occurs the wife is able to make everything seem like his fault. He is the bad guy, like he did the cheating. It is a complete double standard in filmmaking. A man can do the cheating but can never be the one who is cheated on.
It is always a pleasure to see Mila Kunis and Kristen Wiig onscreen, but sadly the story is trite and uneventful. This is a good attempt, but only an average succeeding.
The video quality can probably be chalked up to Judge's filmmaking techniques. However, it is difficult to tell whether the quality is poor on account of the intentions or the transfer. The transfer has its own issues, but may have only been limited by the source material. This is the first transfer I have seen in quite some time that has many source artifact and telecine issues. The rest of the issues lay in inconsistency. The blacks are hardly ever fully resolved. Contrast and brightness wavers from scene to scene. Film noise also fluctuates. Colors are generally bold, but fleshtones are inconsistent and primarily an orange hue. Details and textures are also lacking overall. This absence results in a rather flat-looking image. This transfer is a disappointment, but somehow it seems to match the quality of the movie. Fans or casual viewers probably won't mind many of these issues, but Blu-ray aficionados will surely be disappointed.
When is comes to the audio transfer there really isn't anything positive to say. Now, I don't mean that the transfer is horrible. On the contrary, this is the best this film will ever sound. The track limited by the pedestrian soundtrack. There is nothing going on in the way of the surrounds, especially when it comes to a bustling bottle factory. Ambience and acoustics are absent. Dialogue remains intelligible throughout but without an anchor. The mix is entirely front heavy. The music is lost but slightly bled into the surround channels. The LFE channel is a joke. Dynamics and frequency response are spotty. Directionality, when and if something does occur is barely passable. Sorry, but this audio track will surely put you to sleep.
The Blu-ray package comes with three bonus materials that aren't worth a whole lot. There are a few extended scenes and one deleted scene, none of which have any interesting bits. The only slightly interesting bonus material is the "Mike Judge's Secret Recipe" featurette, which is basically contains behind the scenes footage.
"Extract" is pretty much a bombed movie. It lacks any real impact. The video and audio qualities are just bad. If this is your genre of film then it might be worth a rent, otherwise skip it.

Back at it after a long weekend…. some days, you just don't feel it, but you press on and music always helps.
"Little World" by Gretchen Peters
A beautiful song from Peters' 2012 album Hello Cruel World. Her next album is due in February and is called Blackbirds.
"Don't Say You Love Me" by Sean Watkins
From the latest solo record by a founding member of Nickel Creek. The album is called All I Do Is Lie, and it was recently made available on Noisetrade. I dig the well written songs played by top-notch musicians.
"Fisherman's Blues" by The Waterboys
The lead and title track from one of my favorite albums. At the time, Fisherman's Blues was a radical departure from The Waterboys' signature "Big Music" sound, and although I am huge fan of the early Waterboys' records, I have always had a soft spot for Celtic Music and this is an album I find myself returning to again and again.
"Big Blue Sun" by Amelia White
Another great track from the Old Postcards album. This is always one of my favorites to hear Amelia perform live.
"Holy Moses" by Echo and The Bunnymen
I'll be honest, I haven't really kept up with Echo and the Bunnymen in recent years. This track is off their latest album Meteorites which came out last year. A friend included on his annual mix CD. I didn't immediately recognize this has a Echo and the Bunnymen song, but taken out of context (for me), I have to say I like this song.
"1952 Vincent Black Lightning" by Richard Thompson
What exactly can I say. As I've stated before, Rumor and Sigh is a favorite of mine, and this song has gone on to become a modern folk music standard that will likely live on for years. I just don't seem to get tired of hearing this song.
"Stones" by Dead and Lovely
Another great song from my friends in Dead and Lovely from their EP called Heavy. I love this music.
"Johnny's Gonna Die" by The Replacements
From Sorry Ma…. the song was written about Johnny Thunders…. but (and forgive me if I am stating the obvious), but this could easily be seen as prophetically about Bob Stinson.
"The Morning After the Coup" by Grant Peeples and the Peeples Republik
"Meet the New Boss…" Coups are fun and all, but what comes next? Another great song from Punishing the Myth.

Heartbeat to keep future pacemakers tickingMarch 4th, 2012 - 5:01 pm ICT by IANS
Washington, March 4 (IANS) An unlikely source could keep cardiac pacemakers ticking in the future - the heartbeat itself, without the necessity of batteries.
University of Michigan engineering researchers have designed a device that harvests the vibration of heartbeats through the chest and converts it to electricity to run a pacemaker or an implanted defibrillator.
By replacing batteries that power them today, which last five to 10 years, the new energy harvester could save patients from repeated surgeries, the journal Applied Physics Letters reports.
"The idea is to use ambient vibrations that are typically wasted and convert them to electrical energy," said Amin Karami, research fellow at the Michigan department of aerospace engineering.
"If you put your hand on top of your heart, you can feel these vibrations all over your torso," added Karami, according to a Michigan statement.
The researchers haven't built a prototype yet, but they've done enough work to make the concept work. Here's how: A 100th-of-an-inch thin slice of a special "piezoelectric" ceramic material would essentially catch heartbeat vibrations and briefly expand in response.
Piezoelectric materials' claim to fame is that they can convert mechanical stress (which causes them to expand) into an electric voltage. The new device could generate 10 microwatts of power, which is about eight times the amount a pacemaker needs to operate, Karami said.
Karami and colleague Daniel Inman, who heads aerospace engineering at Michigan, have precisely engineered the ceramic layer to a shape that can harvest heart vibrations across a range of frequencies.

Last Bandaid?
How the heck do you get the last bandaid in the level Sky Boy?
It's all I have left to do and it's killing me!
Good game.
Beated every stage except for "We reach."
That stage by far, is the most irritating stage of them all. It should be on the expert chapters. There's a few stages on the expert chapters that are really easy compared to some in the story chapters.
Don't mind the low score, I'm just a little pissed off due to the amount of times I died in the game. Besides, one of the goals in your game WAS to piss people off right (The constant death was a sure fire way to annoy people, if you didn't expect people to get mad about it, then... wow)? Damn, gotta hate Speedy & short Trial and error games, the worses genre of the bunch.
2+ extra points for good style.
I like the difficulity level of the game. Not too hard and not too easy. I only found a few of the levels realy annoying, which is a good thing since it keeps you on the edge. Lol at the ending when you collected all the bandages :p. Good job, keep it up.
Pure torture
I can't imagine anyone insane enough to try and finish this. It's just pure insane torture to die over and over and over because meatboy has more inertia than a runaway train.
Reminded me of playing mario 1 and then playing mario 3 or mario world and finding out that the game becomes more fun when the biggest challenge isn't how impossible it is to jump on anything without skidding past it.
Is there an ice level if you game? I bet you're enough of a sadist to put that in there too, aren't you?
I couldn't make it more than halfway passed the salt factory. I have to stop before I go out in the streets and murder someone.
Still, I love the music and the style. Hehe meatboy.
This was a very fun and challenging game. I managed to get all the band-aids and I've beaten every level but we reach. Also Hot Coffee was pretty good.

When one thinks of a hopping nightlife, Turlock isn't exactly the city that comes to mind. Rooted deep in a tradition of agriculture and suburban lifestyles, the almond capital of the world hasn't been traditionally known for a good place to paint the town red.
However, this dynamic is changing. Downtown is getting busier, music seems a little louder and a youthful sense of carelessness tends to take over the town when Friday night rolls around.
And who are the people fueling this new wave of nightlife shenanigans? Mostly, the town's 7,000 university students.
So, where exactly do these adventure seeking students head when they're looking for a good time? Well, here are a few places that made our list of nightlife hotspots in Turlock:
1.) Red Brick Cafe, 153 S. Broadway, open 6 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Thursday and Friday and 7 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. on Saturday: A good place for 21 and older students looking for a place to dance until they'll need Gatorade. This is the place to be. Coupled with gourmet food and music all night, the Red Brick Cafe has quickly emerged as the go to destination for dozens of college students every night.
Kanwar Dhaliwal, a senior at CSU Stanislaus, is a frequent visitor of Red Brick, and plans on keep going back.
"It's not your run-of-the-mill bar," said Dhaliwal. "With new renovations, it really opens up the space to dance and move freely amongst the crowd."
2.) X hale Hookah Lounge, 121 W. Main St., open 7 p.m. to 12:20 a.m. Monday through Wednesday and Sunday, 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday: Although hookah may not be everyone's cup of tea, Xhale Hookah Lounge in Turlock has proven to be a smoking hot spot for college students looking for a more relaxed style of fun. The Main Street lounge offers a variety of different hookah flavors and is right next to other eateries and bars. Shiva Niakan, a senior at CSU Stanislaus said the relaxed environment and overall chilled out vibe make Xhale the place to be for any wandering college student looking for something to do.
"It's more of a social place," he said. "There is a chilled out vibe where people can share conversations instead of having your voice drowned by distracting music."
3.) Staley's, 426 E. Main St., open 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Sunday: Staley's Bar and Grill is another serious contender for one of the best bar scenes in Turlock. Being one of the oldest bars in the area, Staley's offers all you can hope for in a small town dive bar — cheap beer, heavy pours, friendly regulars, and no pretense. The bar has a dedicated following. Come Saturday night you can find the bar filled with college students looking for a night memories. If it is anything, this small town bar screams good times.
"Staley's provides a place for young adults to go out with their friends and have a good time in a controlled and safe environment where they can enjoy their nights not feeling like they live in the middle of nowhere," said Alyssa Aqueche, senior at CSU Stanislaus.
The list doesn't just end there. There are plenty of other nightlife spots in Turlock including the Grizzly Rock Cafe, Vintage Lounge, Dust Bowl Brewery and 10 East are all great places to head out on any on any given weekend night. So, if you're a wide eyed freshmen or a seasoned senior, Turlock nightlife is probably for you.

Founded on the heels of the farm crisis in the late 1980s, Iowa State University Research Park has housed dozens of start-up companies in the past 25 years.
Now, as the small-business incubator south of Iowa State's campus continues to cultivate technology-driven entrepreneurs, the nonprofit organization's promoters plan to soon break ground on a new ring of development that could accommodate more companies.
"We've seen a continual inflow of new start-ups and that kind of activity," said Steve Carter, director of the 220-acre park at 2711 S. Loop Drive in Ames. "What we have also seen is some of the early companies have stabilized and grown."
Referring to 12 shovel-ready lots situated on undeveloped land on the park's south side, Carter said, "We think that with the prospects we are working with now, a significant amount of the 60 acres will be committed" within the next 12 months.
Spearheaded by the late Leonard Goldman, a former park president, and Wayne Moore, a former Iowa State University vice president for planning and development, the park has seen more than 60 companies graduate from the incubator. Some were acquired by larger companies. Some set up shop elsewhere in Iowa or in another part of the country.
Today, approximately 60 businesses and about 850 workers occupy 93 percent of the park's 284,000 square feet of space in seven buildings.
"We have a mission to serve the state of Iowa," said Warren Madden, vice president for business and finance at Iowa State and one of the park's founders. "I suppose we are unhappy to have industries or businesses leave the state, which has happened occasionally. But when somebody comes out of the park and decides they can locate their business activity in another community in Iowa, that's a success for this place because we are trying to serve the whole state."
Last year, the 501(c)(3) organization completed the development of a 50,000-square-foot multi-tenant building that now houses NewLink Genetics Corp., a biopharmaceutical company that works to create and improve upon cancer treatment options for patients and physicians. The company occupies half of Building 5 and is considering the lease of additional space at 2901 S. Loop Drive.
Carter, who said construction in the park is rarely speculative, noted that new buildings are based on demand and typically are built out in two phases.
"We are one of very few research parks in the United States that own and manage the property ourselves," he said. "While we have to maintain this development mindset, at the end of the day, our primary focus is growing these companies and helping them to achieve success. The vision that was created by Warren and others early on was to create an economic development strategy. And that we retain today."
The only real estate on the site that's not owned by the park houses CPMI Event Center at 2321 N. Loop Drive. The CPMI building was originally constructed to house Engineering Automation Inc. (EAI). In 2000, EAI was acquired by Unigraphic Solutions Inc., which the following year became a subsidiary of global technology services giant Electronic Data Systems Corp. Much of the former EAI is now a part of Siemens USA.
Matt Rizai, CEO of WebFilings LLC and a former CEO of EAI, recalled the first time he and his partners explored the park's potential.
"I liked the vision, and I thought we wanted to be part of that whole movement to scale the place," Rizai said. "We really wanted to be there. We needed an incubation type of situation. We could be nurtured a little bit."
In 2008, Rizai again turned his attention to the park as he and other former EAI principals founded Los Altos, Calif.-based WebFilings LLC and re-established a presence in Ames.
In early 2009, the company had fewer than 10 employees in Ames and occupied only about 1,500 square feet of space at the park. In March 2010, WebFilings launched a program that automates and streamlines the production of reports that companies must file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Today, WebFilings employs about 100 full-time workers and approximately 10 interns in an approximately 19,000-square-foot space at 2625 N. Loop Drive. That includes the additional 6,000 square feet of space the company began leasing in Building 2 in early May.
But Rizai said his company will soon outgrow the building. Affirming his commitment to the park, the executive anticipates that WebFilings will relocate to a build-to-suit facility on South Loop Drive within two years.
"Over time, we have had a number of those companies achieve a level of success and now they are really focused on growth," Carter said.
In addition to face time with professors and students on Iowa State's campus, park tenants are afforded access to libraries, laboratories, research materials, specialized equipment, fitness centers and other park facilities, such as the Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Center.
"It's the synergy that the environment provides that is, I think, one of the unique characteristics of a university research park," Madden said. "Looking back, the synergy that comes from some of those relationships has been good for both campus people and some of the tenants in the park."
Located south of U.S. Highway 30, the park is bordered by University Boulevard on the west and South Riverside Drive on the east. The park has an option to purchase from the Iowa State University Foundation an additional 100 acres of land.
Since the park's inception, nearly $25 million has been invested in grounds and facilities. The park generates approximately $3.5 million in operating income each year.
"It almost takes close to a generation to move these types of concepts along," Rizai said. "After that, people just want to be part of the environment."

Cabasse Set to Unveil Their Reference Speakers - La Sphere
Cabasse and their Exclusive North American distributor, StJohn Group have announced that the companys reference La Sphere model will be making its North American retail debut Friday, August 15th, 2008 at Systems Design Group, Redondo Beach. Clients, invited guests and the press are invited to attend.
The evening will be an opportunity for music lovers, aficionados, and discerning individuals who enjoy experiencing and owning the best in life, to gather and experience a variety of fine musical recordings and genres in a relaxed and laid back, "listening party" setting.
With a retail price of $140,000 per pair ($165,000 with amplifiers), La Spheres are arguably the Formula One "Super Car" equivalent in the loudspeaker world. They represent decades of research by the 60-year-old venerable French manufacturer and are the first to deliver what many experts feel is the theoretically perfect loudspeaker due to its unique 20-20Khz point source technology. Hailed by respected audio gurus around the world as the finest loudspeaker available, La Sphere is more than a no-compromise loudspeaker it is an acoustical masterpiece. Cabasses extensive R&D has created perhaps the worlds most exacting loudspeaker. La Spheres reflected response curve and corresponding reflected phase response are identical to its direct measurements thus insuring the most realistic listening experience possible. The speakers, driven by 5.2 kilowatts of discrete Cabasse amplification, also utilize the companys four-way active digital processor for unmatched precision crossover and filtering.
Moreover, as the worlds only four-way co-axial point-source loudspeaker (all sound emanates from the exact same point), La Sphere utilizes a specially engineered spherical enclosure that is far superior to conventional designs. Among the significant advantages of a spherical enclosure are rigidity, elimination of standing waves and perfect symmetry in every direction with no diffraction effects from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. In every respect, La Sphere is audibly and measurably the perfect full-range transducer.
La Spheres drive units are also a story unto themselves. The 22 woofer features a unique honeycomb dome, specially engineered for optimum performance in a spherical enclosure. The low/midrange unit is an 8 Duocell ring design that is then combined with a 5 mid-range and 1.2 dome diaphragm tweeter.
John Caldwell, a principal and co-founder of StJohn Group, commented on La Spheres debut at Systems Design Group: Great loudspeakers abound in our industry, but none can match La Sphere for its ability to recreate music and soundtracks with as much lifelike realism. Weve partnered with Systems Design Group because they are Los Angeles finest and most experienced dealer for delivering such a rarefied product. Caldwell added, While La Sphere may be beyond the budget of most, the same Spatially Coherent System® technology can be found throughout the Cabasse line at Systems Design Group, including a growing number of custom installation in-wall and in-ceiling models that are surprisingly affordable.
We are excited to share with our clients and friends throughout Southern California, La Spheres truly awe-inspiring performance. They have to be experienced to be believed. They will make you believe in the beauty of sound, said Systems Design Groups President, Jerry Axelrod. We look forward to seeing you here.
Guest speaker and presenter for the evening is Christophe Cabasse, Cabasses Vice President of International Sales and the company founder's son. La Sphere will be on active display with several other Cabasse models in both two-channel stereo and multi-channel home theater arrangements throughout Systems Design Group's multiple lavish showrooms.
Qualified press are welcome to attend a short briefing and active demonstrations from 3-6 p.m. Invited guests and interested individuals are welcome from 6-9 p.m. Refreshments will be served. RSVP is requested.
Re: Cabasse Set to Unveil Their Reference Speakers - La Sphere
I have only heard these once and they were in WAY to small a room, I love the design and look of them and the stands, I want to hear them in an environment they can sing in!!!!! I have high expectations for them, which I should given their price!
Re: Cabasse Set to Unveil Their Reference Speakers - La Sphere
I once sold Cabasse's top of the line speaker system. They looked like a giant pyramid and needed to be repaired (the finish) with drywall mud and paint.
I think the retailed for $90,000 a pair.
Ahhh, the days of high end audio....

Bowen Possible Baggies Target?
Bryan Robson's depature from West Bromwich Albion has seen Mark Hughes' Blackburn Rovers assitant Mark Bowen rumoured to have been added to West Brom Chairman Jeremy Pearce's shortlist.
The former Tottenham Hotspur, Norwich City, West Ham United, Shimuzu S Pulse, Charlton Athletic, Wigan Athletic, Reading and Welsh International defender has yet to have the privilege of leading a team outright, having spent all of his time thus far in his coaching capacity as an assistant.
As Bowen's playing career wound down, a serious injury hampering his progress whilst in the latter stages of his time with Charlton would see brief spells with Wigan and Reading, and it would be whilst with Reading that Rovers Boss Mark Hughes, then in charge of the Welsh national team would bring in his former International team-mate as part of the coaching set-up.
Upon leaving his role with Wales, he would link up with another former colleague, one from their early playing days at Norwich in Steve Bruce, working as his assistant firstly at Crystal Palace and then following Bruce to Birmingham City.
Bowen would remain with Bruce at Birmingham until 2004, before leaving his post at St Andrews. He would soon link up with Hughes once more, joining him at Rovers, working as his number two.
It remains to be seen as to whether Bowen would in fact want to become a Manager in his own right, but should he decide to do so, although Hughes, and Rovers fans in general would not like to see him leave you wouldn't hold it against him should he indeed be given the chance? Some of the West Brom fans however could take more convincing following his spell with bitter rivals Birmingham.
Just a thought and this is a thought purely of my own thinking. Hypothetically speaking maybe a possible Bowen departure, not that I'm on anyway wishing this to happen, coupled with a possible Teddy Sheringham arrival could lead to the obvious possibility of Teddy maybe becoming a player-coach...

The Jakarta Post quotes the chairman of the Indonesian Tourism Business Association (GIPI), Ngurah Wijaya, as blaming the escalating price war among Bali accommodation providers on overbuilding of new hotel projects facilitated by lax control by regional administration in issuing new business licenses.
The growing trend for property investment in the form of new hotel investment in Bali has resulted in oversupply that feeds the current extremes in price competition. According to Wijaya: "This shifting trend has worsened hotel price wars. Many property companies build new hotels, then they offer a cheap promotional tariffs to attract tourists."
Wijaya say that lax rules and the propensity of regional official to ignore the laws of supply and demand in issuing new permits has created a hotel industry in Bali that no longer focuses on hospitality and service, but more on price."
Wijaya cites further woes, saying the largely unregulated building spree in which building codes are largely ignored has changed the face of Bali, disrupting the island's spatial and environmental condition.
The chairman of the Bali chapter of the Indonesian Association of Hotels and Restaurants (PHRI), Tjokorda Artha Ardana Sukawati (Cok Ace) is sounding the same warning, saying the overbuilding in Bali needs attention to avoid unhealthy business cooperation.
Cok Ace is calling for a consultative role for PHRI in the granting of new accommodation permits in Bali.
Research conducted by Knight Frank predicts Bali will have 10.466 new hotel rooms by 2014 resulting from 60 new hotel projects. Nearly 40% of these new rooms are expected to come on line by the end of 2012.
According to the same report, 52.8% of the new rooms are in the four-star category with 23.9 % in the five-star category and the remaining 23.3% in the three-star range.
The most popular area for new hotel investments is in Kuta with 3,358 new rooms under construction. Nusa Dua will soon welcome 924 new rooms, 72% of which are in five-star hotels.
Meanwhile, new rooms in the Seminyak (691), Sanur (1,025) and Legian (671) areas will be dominated by four-star hotels.

We were under siege. While Lil Lassie and The Scotsman went prancing about their daily lives and taking their good health for granted, Lil Loon and I were in a state of misery. And as misery loves company, we huddled most of the weeks under fleece blankets, watching How to Train A Dragon (dang I love that movie), peppered with Ice Age. Slowly we've emerged out of the smog of groggy vision at best and things-better-left-unsaid at worst, which means the kitchen has become a hive of activity again. At times like this, I revert to my cookbooks, with blinding loyalty. I don't want to think, just tell me what to do. Simple, yes, delicious? Absolutely. Facebook Likers may have seen some of these before. What follows has proven to be a carb fest (links provided where applicable, for the others, Google will be your best pal in most cases)…
Nigella's Rigatoni Al Forno from Feast
It's pasta, ragu and bechamel. You'd be daft to turn your nose up at this. I am the world's most incompetent lasagne maker, so this, a simplified version of it, is a compromise that's entirely desirable.
From the hefty, well thumbed book Feast: Food that Celebrates Life, Nigella has offered this as a party catering solution, providing sustenance to those stragglers who stay behind after the revelry to help with the aftermath. Indeed, the sheer volume of this recipe would feed the five thousand. In our house, half the specified recipe would feed us for two days straight.
Made, mixed and portioned, it freezes superbly, to be winged out, defrosted and bunged into the oven at a later date. Also, kids are mad for it, which goes far in appeasing a frazzled mother.
Fat tubes of rigatoni (I used Penne) are marbled with long simmered beef ragu and a simple bechamel. Bake the lot, heap into generous bowls, carpet with Parmesan and eat cross-legged on the sofa while watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Or Downtown Abbey. This works any which way.
Tarka Dhal from Prashad
Listen, a dhal to an Indian is the culinary equivalent of being a child, climbing into your mother's lap and getting wrapped in her arms. If I feel like I need some serious internal bolstering, dhal's the way to kick start proceedings.
The Scotsman doesn't share my enthusiasm, since his version of such comfort is mashed potatoes and gravy. Or Mac n' Cheese. Fair enough, I get that and indulge in it myself. However, to keep his enthusiasm afloat, I fry up some form of sea animal, be it prawns, cuttlefish, squid or fish with a spicy masala paste to serve alongside. On the table there might be crispy papads, spicy-sweet date pickles, tangy yoghurt and a tomato and cucumber salad. Make no mistake though, the dhal's the real business end of this meal.
This particular version comes from the wonderful Prashad Cookbook: Indian Vegetarian Cooking and features the recipes from a celebrated vegetarian restaurant specialising in the delights of Gujurati food. Every page has the my stomach doing greedy flips. Once I get my teeth firmly entrenched in the vast repertoire on offer, a review shall be posted. In the meantime, they have a colourful, food filled blog to tempt you.
Triple Cheese & Onion Strata
I see a theme emerging. This is another of Nigella's offerings from Nigella Christmas: Food, Family, Friends, Festivities and I have to say, the woman knows how to cook 'comfort'.
If you have a forgotten baguette lying about (like I often do) and cheese, spring onions and milk are the only residents in your fridge (as has happened with me), then this is a bit of a life saver. Think of it as a savoury bread and butter pudding. You drench the sliced, stale bread in a cheesy, eggy, onion-y custard, leave to soak overnight and bake.
This Strata is wonderful served for brunch and should you need an acidic kick, with a sharp vinagrette dressing over pungent rocket leaves. I tend to make this when I have friends staying over as it can be done well ahead of time and thrown into the oven come morning without much thought, while coffee sears itself into my system. It's a fabulous recipe to have in your armoury. Also, it's open to so much fiddling – add whole grain mustard, ham or herbs, change cheese, add cream…you get the idea.
Bacon & Cheddar Bread from Bake
This pork speckled number comes from Rachel Allen's book Bake. Now, I will admit, I don't often get along with Rachel Allen, as some of her recipes haven't worked out for me. However, a blogger and friend, Thanh, with excellent taste, not to mention skill, told me of this gem years ago and blogged about it herself.
It's called a bread, but it's unyeasted. The method is the same as you would do for muffins. Quick to come together, this bake has a dense crumb and mild cheese flavour, making it perfect for dunking into the sweet potato and lentil soup I made to go with. However I think the base recipe is open to as many interpretations, as Rachel Allen has suggested, one being Pumpkin Seed and Gruyere. You could add herbs fresh or dried, change cheese, fold in some nuts etc.
Get all the information from Thanh's post here.
Apple Friands
You know those recipes that come with baking tins? My friend Alison, lugged a friand tin for me all the way from Australia. Metal tins can't be found for love nor money on the UK sites. The recipe included was Apple Friands and since it is autumn, it was only fitting. Didn't quite rock my world but then I am spoilt after trying out Thanh's Lemon Friands.
Know that you can still enjoy these little French nutty almond pastries if you don't have a Friand tin or mold. Just bake in muffin tins, adjusting the time accordingly. Mini muffin tin sized friands would be absolutely darling!
Should you wish to try out these Apple Friands, here's the link.
Bill Granger's Mango, Coconut and Lime Puddings
I made these wee pretty cupfuls ages ago but never got around to posting about them. These set puddings finished off a curry meal and it worked splendidly. Bill Granger is the king of easy, healthy, Asian inspired food, that doesn't compromise on flavour but won't keep you camped out in the kitchen for too long either.
This soothing, cooling, tropical pudding of soft set Mango with tart Lime was a clean, gentle end to a very spicy dinner. I added some finely crushed cardamom to the mix as well, just to tie things in and added slivered pistachios for a waxy crunch. This recipe is incredibly simple to make and can be done well in advance, so true to Granger's form, it's easy on effort.
Cocoa Brownies by Alice Medrich
Last but not least, are these chewy, dense brownies. Unlike your conventional melt-in-the-chocolate types, this is made purely with cocoa powder. Which is what intrigued me since I haven't been all that impressed with the cocoa only brownies I've tried. That and the fact that the recipe comes fromAlice Medrich of Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-In-Your-Mouth Cookies fame and more besides.
This recipe comes from her book Bittersweet: Recipes and Tales from a Life in Chocolate. The method is a bit uncoventional, in that it's almost like you are making your own chocolate, rather than melting a bar. Alice Medrich directs you to place butter, sugar and cocoa powder into a bain marie, to melt and amalgamate the above before adding to flour and then, beat the heck out of the batter; for precisely 40 strokes. Every part of my baking instinct was screeching, " Gluten!! Gluten!!". The quantity is so little though, it doesn't get overworked.
The result? A dark, fudgy, quite dense brownie, with a thicker, candy crackle like crust. You wouldn't believe it was made purely from cocoa.
Does this replace the traditional chocolate type for me? Perhaps not entirely. If I need a brownie fix and there are no bars left, this is undoubtedly the only cocoa brownie recipe I would ever use. And that's saying a lot.
So there you have it. A roundup of what's been happening foodwise over the last few weeks chez moi. It's good to breathe without the fug of Vicks rubs and more importantly, have my sense of taste restored. Lil Loon has been making up for a serious lack of appetite with no small degree of determination. The lad's head is permanently in the fridge.
It's all back to business!

The Newcastle Knights have relegated the Canberra Raiders to their sixth consecutive home loss with a 26-12 win in front of 9519 fans at GIO Stadium in Canberra.
In what was a close first half, the Knights looked the better team with ball in hand as late inclusion Jarrod Mullen added a strong kicking game and overall confidence boost to a Newcastle side that has lacked consistency and direction at times this season.
Despite this, it was the Raiders who scored first on 9 minutes when a set play down their left hand side resulted in Jarrod Croker getting over the line for the opening try of the match.
The Knights struck back soon after through James McManus in the 16th minute in what was almost a carbon copy of the Raiders opening try. The ball was played through the hands to the Knights left hand edge and Tyrone Roberts ensured scores were level when he added the extras from less than metre from the sideline.
The Raiders had a video referee decision go against them when Jarrod Croker dropped the ball over the line on the 30 minute mark. To rub salt into the wounds, the Knights then went down the other end and within 90 seconds Adam Clydesdale gave them the lead for the first time in the game.
Wayne Bennett wouldn't have been pleased when the Raiders were allowed to reply soon after through the barnstorming Shannon Boyd. The big man barged through some soft ruck defence in the 37th minute on the back of a penalty, and scored under the black dot to level the scores on half time.
The second half began with both sides making a number of unforced errors however the momentum of the match turned sharply in Newcastle's favour when James McManus made a break down field in the 48th minute. On the next play the Knights spread the ball to their right with Beau Scott finding space before finding the try line.
The Raiders became their own worst enemy with a number of unforced errors putting unneeded pressure on their defence and gifting the Knights good field position. The pressure finally resulted in points in the 60th minute when Joseph Leilua almost ran the length of the field before Dane Gagai scored on the next play with the Raiders defence unable to reorganise themselves in time.
The Raiders were unable to get back into the contest as the match turned into an arm wrestle and Tyrone Roberts kicked a 74th minute penalty goal to lock up the two points for the Novocastrians. The Raiders did have a chance to get back into the match late but a Jarrod Croker pass to an unmarked Ben Tupou was dropped cold with only the try line in front of him.
Despite a strong victory, Knights fans will be asking at what cost it has come, with Kade Snowden and Kurt Gidley both going off with head injuries during the match and Akuila Uate looking to have sustained a minor knee injury despite staying on the field.

NEW: There are several changes for the Knights including the return of Jarrod Mullen in place of Michael Dobson. Zane Tetevano and Chris Houston start with Willie Mason and Robbie Rochow going to the bench. Adam Cuthbertson and David Fa'alogo dropping out.
Welcome to Saturday afternoon football. Today the Canberra Raiders host the Newcastle Knights from GIO Stadium.
The Raiders have had a rough go of it when playing from home in recent times. Ricky Stuart will know that GIO Stadium needs to become a fortress if the Raiders are to be a serious top 8 threat this season.
The Knights have had an emotional fortnight culminating in a big loss to the Cowboys on Monday Night. They will need to find some consistency, something they have struggled with so far this season.
With all this in mind, this afternoons match promises to be a tough encounter with both teams fancying their chances to take the two points.

Bracing Wall Street for another depressed quarterly report, the International Business Machines Corporation said yesterday that its strong sales in foreign markets ''are beginning to moderate.'' The company added that total worldwide orders and shipments for the first nine months of the year would probably be below last year's levels.
The announcement, while not surprising to industry experts, sent I.B.M.'s stock spiraling down $5.375, to $128.125, in heavy trading. And it quickly overshadowed news yesterday that the company hoped would cheer investors and customers alike: the introduction of a new series of small mainframe computers, called the I.B.M. 9370 Information System, that the company is counting on to revive its offerings in the midrange computer market.
Analysts praised the new computer system and the strategy it represents, a move by I.B.M. to extend its enormously successful System/370 mainframe computer designs to users of much smaller, less expensive machines. But they doubted that I.B.M. would soon gain ground on the Digital Equipment Corporation and other minicomputer makers, largely because the new computers will not be ready for shipment until the second half of 1987.
Even then, the communications and networking software critical to making the 9370 a success in ''distributed processing,'' where work is shared by many machines, will not be ready. It is expected in the fourth quarter of the year.
''If this is the long-awaited VAX killer,'' said Ulric Weil, a longtime computer analyst, referring to the Digital line of minicomputers that have thrived at I.B.M.'s expense, ''then the people at D.E.C. must be pretty relaxed.''Continue reading the main story
At I.B.M. headquarters, where executives watched the company's stock lose more than 4 percent of its market value yesterday, no one sounded relaxed. For months, the company has been awaiting a turnaround in the computer market, which would enable it to reverse a year-and-a-half slide.
In response to questions yesterday, I.B.M. officials said that a recent review of its results - presumably in preparation for its quarterly earnings report, expected on Monday -showed that business in the United States ''is stable, proceeding as it has been earlier this year.''
''Business outside the United States,'' said Pamela Hawkins, an I.B.M. spokesman, ''while still growing, is beginning to moderate.'' Later, Ms. Hawkins added that, in addition to the expected drop in total orders, ''the pressures on our margins continue,'' a reference to the recent drop in the company's operating and after-tax profit margins.
Before the announcement, analysts were predicting that I.B.M.'s net income in the third quarter would range from $2 to $2.20 a share. Those numbers are significantly below the $1.47 billion, or $2.40 a share, the company posted in 1985's third quarter.
Last night, several analysts said they were lowering their estimates again. Jay Stevens of Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. dropped his estimate to $1.85, from $1.95 a share. Software Price Cuts
If investors were downcast because of the earnings outlook, analysts said they had reason to be moderately cheerful about the long-awaited appearance of the 9370 and a series of related, drastic price reductions for I.B.M. mainframe software.
''It's an intelligent, credible announcement,'' said Carol E. Muratore, a vice president of Morgan Stanley. ''It shows that I.B.M. understands how important distributed processing has become,'' she said, rather than the highly centralizied, mainframe-oriented processing that made I.B.M.'s name and fortune.
The details of the introduction were almost exactly as industry experts had predicted: a series of four machines, the least expensive priced at $31,000 for a processor alone and $63,000 for a fully configured computer system. The machines make extensive use of I.B.M.'s new megabit memory chips and a wide range of innovative processor technology. They also mark improvements in price performance of 25 to 50 percent, depending on the model.
The computers are similar to the company's 4300 series of mainframes, its smallest until today, and eventually all but the largest of the 4300 machines are expected to be phased out. 'Important Day'
''It's a very important day for us,'' said Edward E. Lucente, chief of I.B.M.'s Information Systems Group, in an interview before he addressed about 1,000 of I.B.M.'s largest corporate customers through an elaborate satellite hookup yesterday. ''We are now able to deliver the System/370 architecture to people who use computers in departments, or in clusters, and they can make use of a huge library of applications software.''
Indeed, the biggest beneficiaries of the new equipment are users of existing I.B.M. mainframes, who can run their existing software on the new machines. And buyers of new software will enjoy another benefit: I.B.M. said it would begin to gear the prices of its programs to the size of the machine on which they are used. Until now, programs have carried a single price regardless of how many users have access to them on a single computer; that tended to make some of its smaller mainframes very uneconomical.
The bottom of I.B.M.'s new line appears somewhat more powerful than Digital's VAX 1150. Both comfortably handle 15 to 30 simultaneous users. I.B.M. seems likely to face continued problems with Digital, however, because of the new machine's delivery date - volume shipments are not expected until the third quarter of 1987 - and because it will not match Digital's networking software for at least 18 months, analysts say.
At Digital's headquarters in Maynard, Mass., William R. Johnson, vice president of distributed systems, said he saw little to worry about. ''It's going to be a while before anyone can even say, 'I saw an I.B.M. test model,' '' he said. ''When people ask us about the I.B.M. offering, I think our best answer is: 'Do you want to wait a year?' ''Continue reading the main story

Protein that underpins prostate cancer cells to cause disease in bones unveiledJuly 11th, 2008 - 5:31 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, July 11 (ANI): Researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, have gained fresh insights into the mechanisms by which prostate cancer cells spread to the bones.
The researchers point out that death mainly occurs as a result of the tumour spreading to the bones, where it is known as an osteoblastic bone metastasis.
According to them, treatments that deprive the tumour of male sex hormones (androgens) are usually effective, but only briefly as the tumours typically develop the ability to grow in the absence of androgens and the diseases progresses.
Now, Nora Navone and colleagues from the university have generated new data using two prostate cancer cell lines that lack expression of androgen receptors, and that were derived from the bones of an individual with osteoblastic bone metastases.
The data sheds light into the mechanisms by which prostate cancer osteoblastic bone metastases progress.
The androgen receptor, negative prostate cancer cell lines generated by the researchers grew when transplanted into immunocompromised mice and generated osteoblastic bone metastases.
The researchers found a protein known as FGF9 that expressed at higher levels in these cells lines than in other bone-derived prostate cancer cells, and induced bone formation in an in vitro organ culture assay.
They also observed that blocking FGF9 reduced the osteoblastic bone metastases in mice transplanted with the cell lines.
Given that FGF9 was found to be expressed in all human prostate cancer osteoblastic bone metastases analysed during the study, the researchers believe that FGF9 plays a significant role in prostate cancer progression to osteoblastic bone metastases.
The cells lines generated are also likely to be an important preclinical model for researchers developing therapeutics for osteoblastic bone metastases in individuals with prostate cancer. (ANI)

akgirl10001 Stars Out Of 5Really DisappointedDecember 30, 2014akgirl1000Quality: 1Value: 1Meets Expectations: 1I had ordered these for an upcoming young girls event. I was really disappointed when I went through and actually read the content. It felt like a lot of the book was talking about how to look like you're a Christian rather than how to actually know & seek Christ. She equated having a clean room to having a right looking relationship with Christ. Although I 'm all for having another reason for kids to clean their room. I don't believe that telling an impressionable 3rd grader that in order for her walk with God to be strong she has to have a clean room. This was just one of the many examples throughout the book that was very "works oriented" in a person's relationship with God. This book was meant to be in addition to the "A Girl After God's Own Heart" book. I'll be returning both along with the "Raising a Daughter After God's Own Heart" book.
Curlygirl5 Stars Out Of 5Sweet devotionalDecember 26, 2014CurlygirlQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I bought several of these devotionals, one for my daughter and a few others for her to give as gifts to friends. My daughter has enjoyed it. She is 12 and in recent years it has seemed like she's too old for "children's devotionals" - they generally lack depth she's ready for. However, the subject matter of "teen" devotionals is very mature and seems to threaten her innocence (to matters she should stay innocent to Rom 16:19). All of the girls who have received this - my daughter as well as her friends - have been delighted with it.

Ask a Question▼▲
Q: Adventure vs. Devotional Does the devotional book contain different information than the tween adventure? I'm trying to decide which one to buy of if I should get them both. Thanks!
The devotional contains small readings for each day. The 'Tween Adventure' is a regular type of book that would be read from cover to cover.
Q: Are there scripture passages for girls to look up in each devotion?
No, many of the devotionals do have scripture references that can be looked up, but there isn't a "scripture-of-the-day" listed every day.

Andersen, Charlotte; Nielsen, Tina Skau; Purup, Stig; Kristensen, Troels; Eriksen, Jørgen; Søegaard, Karen; Sørensen, John and Fretté, Xavier C (2009) Phyto-oestrogens in herbage and milk from cows grazing white clover, red clover, lucerne or chicory-rich pastures. Animal, 3 (8), pp. 1189-1195.
- Published Version
- English
Limited to [Depositor and staff only]
A grazing experiment was carried out to study the concentration of phyto-oestrogens in herbage for cattle and in milk during two periods (May and June). Forty-eight Danish Holstein cows were divided into four groups with four treatment diets; white clover, red clover, lucerne and chicory-rich pastures. Each experimental period lasted 15 days. Herbage samples from the first day and individual milk samples from the last day of the experimental period were analysed for phyto-oestrogens using LC-MS technique. The total concentration of phyto-oestrogens was 21 399 mg/kg DM for red clover and 238-466 mg/kg DM for the other three herbages mainly due to a much higher concentration of biochanin A, formononetin and glycitein in red clover. In the milk, the total concentration of phyto-oestrogens was 253-397 μg/l for red clover milk and 56-91 μg/l in the milk from the other three treatments. This was especially due to a higher concentration of equol, daidzein and formononetin in the red clover milk. The concentration of biochanin A was significantly higher in milk from the red clover treatment in May while no differences were observed in June. Enterodiol was similar across treatments while the concentration of enterolactone was significantly lower for red clover milk compared with the other treatments. Of the tested pastures, red clover appears to have the highest concentration and to be the best source of phyto-oestrogens, especially equol, in bovine milk.

Application FAQ
Post-baccalaureate Classes
Do I have to complete the post baccalaureate classes before applying to the Master's Program?
We require that you have completed, and submit transcripts for, at least one semester of post-bacc coursework at the time of your application, so that we can see your academic potential in SLP courses. All post-bacc courses need to be completed by the time you begin the graduate program.
Application Deadlines
When is your graduate school admission application deadline? If I should miss the deadline, can I apply as a non-matriculate student?
Applications must be VERIFIED by CSDCAS by December 15th for admission to the program the following fall. Please see the Admission Procedures section of the website.
Students cannot apply as non-matriculate students to the graduate SLP program. If you miss the deadline, you can apply for the following year.
Can I send in my application while waiting to take the GRE exams?
GRE scores are required to complete and process your CSDCAS application.
I completed my application via CSDCAS by the deadline for the Speech program. It will take 4-6 weeks to verify my application. Since my CSDCAS application has not been verified but it is complete, would my application be considered late?
Yes-we require that your application be "verified" by CSDCAS by the deadline. Note that we also require that you have submitted your University of Akron Graduate School application and fee by the deadline. We recommend that you submit your CSDCAS application well in advance of our deadline, in order to insure timely delivery of your application materials to us. Please refer to the Admission Procedures.
CSDCAS Application and Supplemental Documents
Is it still a requirement to apply through the website and through CSDCAS for this year?
Yes! Full information and instructions are posted on the Admission Procedures section of our website.
What needs to be sent to Akron's Grad Program and what needs to be sent to CSDCAS?
Full information, instructions, and links are posted on the Admission Procedures section of our website.
ALL application documents must be submitted through CSDCAS - we will not accept any documents that are sent directly to us - all transcripts, letters of recommendation, essay, etc. should ONLY be sent to CSDCAS. They will process and then send your application to us.
The only things that you will submit to The University of Akron's Graduate School is our Graduate School application and fee.
Should I send supplemental paperwork directly to the department to ensure the department receives my information in a timely manner?
No! We will not accept any documents that are sent directly to us - all transcripts, letters of recommendation, essay, etc. should ONLY be sent to CSDCAS. The best way to ensure that our department receives your application materials in a timely manner is to submit your application to CSDCAS well before the December 15th deadline.
Do I still need to send in a copy of my resume?
For your resume, you do not need to send anything to us directly - the information that you enter in the CSDCAS application is sufficient.
Is there a topic or prompt for the essay portion of the application?
You will find the essay topic for our program in the Program Materials section of the CSDCAS application for The University of Akron.
I had a few questions regarding the recommendation form. Does this form supplement a recommendation letter? Or do they only fill out this form as the recommendation?
As part of the CSDCAS application, you will enter your references' information and a link will be emailed to them to submit their letters of recommendation electronically. The recommendation includes a short questionnaire/form for the recommender to complete, and an option to upload (or attach, if using hard-copy) a letter if they choose to do so. Please note that your recommenders should only be completing the CSDCAS forms - NOT the general University of Akron forms!
Do the people who are writing my letters need to submit a hard copy or upload them to the online component for the University of Akron's online application?
See answer above. All letters of recommendation must be submitted electronically through CSDCAS. No letters of recommendation should be sent directly to The University of Akron.
What kind of letters of recommendation does your university look for?
In the Application and Admission Procedures section of our website you will find the information about how many letters we require, and from whom recommendation letters are acceptable.
I sent my transcripts to CSDCAS - is this enough or do you also need a copy sent directly to the school?
The Graduate School at the University of Akron does not need a separate transcript - the one we receive as part of your CSDCAS application will be sufficient.
Do I need to complete the coursework section on the CSDCAS application, since I will already be sending my transcript to your school?
YES!!! You must fill out the coursework/transcript section of the CSDCAS application! They will not process your application, or forward it to us, without that section. Please refer to CSDCAS' instructions and FAQ section for detailed information about your transcripts. They must also receive an official transcript from EACH institution you have attended, in order to verify all of your coursework.
Please do not wait until the end of fall semester to submit your transcripts to CSDCAS. Additionally, do not ask your university to hold your transcript request until your fall transcripts are posted. In either case, your application will not be verified on time, and it will not be considered by the Application Committee. In order for your application to be processed and verified by the deadline (12/15), you should send CSDCAS your Fall transcripts through an Academic Update.
Again, your application will not be processed or sent to us without this step being completed. You do not need to send a transcript directly to The University of Akron.
I received an email stating that I needed to send transcripts in order for my application to be processed. Are the transcripts via CSDCAS sufficient?
Yes - our Graduate School will accept the transcripts which are part of the CSDCAS application as "official transcripts," since they have been verified by CSDCAS. You do not need to send additional transcripts. Once the Graduate School receives a copy of your CSDCAS application, they will process your UA application.
GRE Scores
Do my GRE scores that I send to your school need to be the official scores, or can they be a copy made of my original scores I received in the mail?
You will not submit any scores directly to The University of Akron. An official GRE score report MUST be sent to CSDCAS for our program, using code 1722.
Graduate Assistantship Application
I found an application for graduate assistantships on the University's website. Do I need to fill this out, and is there anything else I need to do to apply for a graduate assistantship?
For our program, students do not apply for GA positions - so please do NOT send in the general application form that is found on the Graduate School's website. All we ask you to do is to check the box on the application that indicates your interest in an assistantship. We will gather more information about your interest in assistantships during our interview process.
Reapplying to the Program
I am planning to reapply to The University of Akron this year - does your department still have my GRE test scores and other materials, or do I need to resend them?
Please refer to the FAQ section of the CSDCAS website (https://portal.csdcas.org/csdcasHelpPages)for detailed information. Some information can be carried over from your previous application. Please also note our program's re-application policy. ("For Prospective Students"). You must submit a new UA Graduate School application.
Communication and Notification about Application Materials
How will I know if the University of Akron has received all of my application materials?
The Admissions Coordinator of the Speech-Language Pathology Graduate Program will send you email notifications via CSDCAS, as each portion of your application is received by our program. If you need to check on something that was submitted to The University of Akron's Graduate School ( UA application, fee), you may contact our Graduate School directly. Their email address is email@example.com and their phone number is (330) 972-7663.
