Framed by the distant Atlas Mountains and filled with prayer calls from minarets and mosques, a Marrakech escape beckons. Walk narrow streets and bustling medina alleyways lined with ornate carved wooden doors leading past souks and shops. Succumb to the charms of tea-sipping merchants hawking woolen rugs, silver, leather, and handicrafts of every sort. Relax from the medina hustle and bustle on the rooftop terrace of your money-saving Marrakech holiday rental riad, sipping soothing mint tea and watching the world below go by as the Atlas Mountains change colour.
A head-spinning cacophony of sights, sounds, and smells surrounded by the souks and shops of the medina, Jemaa el-Fna is a large central plaza gone mad. During the day, Jemaa el-Fna crawls with monkeys, snake charmers, colorful dancers, magicians, story-tellers, medicine and spice peddlers, water sellers with leather water-bags and brass cups, and vendors hawking everything and anything. Nighttime, food stalls light up Jemaa el-Fna and the aromas of grilled seafood, eggplant, olives, breads, and salads is hard to resist. There is no escape, as all paths lead back into the medina. Your money-saving Marrakech holiday rental riad, villa, home, apartment, or guest room is your mint-tea oasis of tranquility and calm.
Near Jemaa el-Fna, view the Koutoubia Mosque gardens and Almoravid Palace ruins. Menara Gardens date back to the 12th century. Jardin Majorelle explodes with cacti, desert colours, and pools of goldfish, a colorful vision reflecting landscape painter Majorelle and fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. The blue villa houses Majorelle's Moroccan lithographs and part of Laurent's art collection in what is called the Museum of Islamic Arts.
The three floors of Maison de la Photographie house a photographic history of pre-1950 Marrakech, and a rooftop-view terrace cafe with colorful cushions and rugs. The Musee de Marrakech in Mnebhi Palace has tiled architecture, a relaxing inner courtyard, and varied exhibits. Maison Tiskiwin will educate the family, with a room devoted to each region of the country. Dar Si Said features regional arts. Dar Bellarj spotlights Moroccan arts and culture. The new Art of Living Museum looks at life styles and culture, and has a rooftop garden.
Marrakech is deeply layered with palaces, history, restaurants, and sights. Your Marrakech holiday rental riad, villa, home, apartment, or guest room hosts can help your family balance relaxation and sightseeing choices. Plus the money-savings from choosing a Marrakech holiday rental over a luxury hotel can help pay for dining out, medina shopping, golf, horseback riding, camel rides, bicycling, hot air ballooning, hammam massages, smoking shisha from a hookah, and day trips.

With the arrival of its OLED lighting panel, the Lumiblade GL350, Philips Lighting is attempting to quietly usher in the era of practical OLED lighting. The diminutive squares, 3.3mm thick with edges not even five inches (they're precisely 124.5mm) in length, put out 120 lumens each. As organic light-emitting diodes go, that's really rather punchy. It's this higher output that has led the Dutch electronics giant to declare the GL350 "the first OLED that is suitable for general lighting purposes" in its product catalog.
But can output alone justify the claim? Ars delved into the specs of the OLED panel, which Philips unveiled to dramatic effect at the Light + Building trade show in Frankfurt in April. We spoke to Iain Macrae, president of the Society of Light and Lighting and head of Global Lighting Application Management at light fitting manufacturer Thorn Lighting, about the broader state of play in OLED illumination.
Empty the contents of a pack of GL350s, and you'll find three OLED panels which, if placed end to end, would stretch 373.5 mm (14.7 inches) in length and deliver a total output of 360 lumens. Compare that to a 300mm (foot-long) fluorescent tube which puts out 400 lumens, and it's clear that Philips's claims of viable performance are serious. OK, our improvised OLED strip is longer, wider, and emits less light, but it's in the same ballpark of usefulness.
But Philips isn't relying on output alone to make the case for the GL350, which boasts other impressive specs. First among these is its color temperature of 3250K. If you're not familiar with the concept of color temperature (or, strictly, correlated color temperature), it's an absolute expression of the color of a lamp that uses a black-body radiator (an ideal emitter) as a yardstick. The hotter a black body radiator, the bluer and cooler it appears to glow. The color of a lamp can simply be expressed by quoting the temperature (in kelvin) of the black body radiator it resembles.
Though ideal color temperature is highly subjective (and varies with application), 3250K is a shrewd choice. Being just on the yellow side of white, the GL350 is nearly identical in hue to a halogen lightbulb, which has been a mainstay of interior lighting, and one people are very used to. But achieving warm colors with an OLED hasn't been the technical hurdle it was with LED technology. Really, the 3250K boils down to a marketing decision. The GL350 actually appears cooler than OLED alternatives. Osram's ORBEOS OLEDs are a positively toasty 2800K, similar to other Philips Lumiblade OLEDs.
Perhaps more impressive is the GL350's Color Rendering Index (CRI), which Philips quotes as better than 90 out of a possible 100. Though the color appearance of a light source does affect its ability to accurately render color, color appearance and CRI should not be conflated. For light sources with a color temperature (under 5000K), the color rendering performance of a light source is directly compared to a black body radiator at that temperature. For light sources with color temperature above 5000K, daylight is the basis for comparison.
Truly ready to shine?
An incandescent light bulb has a CRI of 100 because it is basically as good as a black body radiator at rendering the eight specified colors stipulated by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). The fact that it's not good at rendering different shades of blue is neither here nor there. It's as good as the yardstick.
"You have to be careful on the CRI scale and new technologies," The Society of Light and Lighting's Iain Macrae told Ars. "Where white light OLED and LED are concerned, there is already a question if the use of RGB color mixing is less suited to the current measure. The CIE are currently looking at more appropriate measures based on research. CRI is of course important for domestic and workplace lighting; generally, a CRI above 80 is considered minimum good practice. New technology doesn't change the way we see. The eye hasn't evolved in line with technology. Color rendering is still important to being able to see well, just the measure may need to change."
Ideally, for a lamp to accurately render color, it will have both a high CRI and the color temperature of daylight—5000 to 6000K. The upshot of the GL350's CRI combined with its color temperature is that its color-rendering performance should be much the same as halogen lighting.
But there is a problem with Philips's claims of the practicality of the GL350. It has a power consumption of 7.2W. That may not sound much, but the light source emits a meager 120 lumens, giving a lumen efficacy of only 16.7lm/W. This suffers in comparison to energy-saving light sources such as fluorescent lighting and LEDs, where certain products achieve efficacies over (and in LED's case, well over) 100lm/W. The latest compact fluorescent light bulbs weigh in at between 50 and 70lm/W.
The GL350's performance is poor even by OLED standards. Philips's own Lumiblade PLUS OLED panel achieves 45lm/W, though its output per unit area is only one quarter that of the GL350's. In fact, an efficacy of 16.7lm/W is firmly within incandescent territory, and had international lighting legislation focused more on performance targets than on banning specific technologies, the GL350 might never have emerged. It certainly falls well short of the minimum efficacy of 45lm/W for general-purpose lighting, set to come into effect in 2020 in the US.
Looking through the lens of efficiency, it's hard to justify the claim that the GL350 is the first OLED suitable for general lighting. "I would have still put [OLED] in its innovation stage. It is not stable enough, efficient enough, or low enough cost to become mainstream yet," Macrae told Ars, when asked for his take on the general state of OLED lighting today. "Our brand specifically would not adopt a technology until it can outperform the existing technology on a number of levels," he added, speaking with his Thorn Lighting hat on. "I think energy efficiency has to be balanced with sustainability, where OLED will have benefits, but also on cost, useful light, and on practicality. Compared to LED and to fluorescent, OLED technology is simply not efficient enough for our customers, but there will be early adopters who see other values, making it worthwhile."
Reason for optimism
Having said that, Macrae shares the industry's broader optimism for the possibilities OLED technology presents, which we reported on last year. "The technology could allow the window glass to be lit, the walls too, the ceiling even, but as complete surfaces or decorative panels," he said. "It should push the market away from the ceiling-mounted regular arrays of luminaries we currently see." Though Macrae points out that for such developments to occur, some innovations in power supply are necessary.
If the future of OLED lighting really is glowing walls and ceilings, then Philips would appear to be barking up the wrong tree by producing small, bright panels that compete for the same market niche as traditional light sources. Though the GL350 is doubtless a noteworthy evolutionary step in the development of OLED lighting, it is larger, lower output surfaces we're waiting for (and besides, LEDs have the small-bright thing covered).
Whatever form OLED lighting eventually takes, more efficiency is required. Philips is optimistic. "Moving forward, we expect efficacy of our Lumiblade OLED panels in our decorative line to reach 35 lm/W by 2018," a Philips spokesman told Ars. "For our Lumiblade OLED performance line we expect to attain an efficacy level of 130 lm/W by 2018." (It's interesting that by this metric, Philips would seem to be positioning the GL350 as decorative rather than general purpose lighting.)
In the near future, Macrae's preference is for polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs), a subset of OLED technology in which the electroluminescent layer is a polymer, such as a polyfluorene derivative. "OLED potentially offers colored lighting options, but requires a difficult manufacturing process, so it's less sustainable," he told Ars. "PLED can effectively be printed with less impact on the environment, but is generally a white light source. I prefer the latter as it's more applicable to most applications, and long-term sustainability is vital."
Though it seems likely that OLED will join LED as the predominant light sources of the future, it appears that, in OLED's case at least, the future isn't here just yet.

Inexpensive tools to flesh out your 3D animation workflow
I teach 3D animation at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and am frequently asked by students how they can get their hands on free or cheap image editors (for preparing textures), video editors (for rendering video segments from the single frames rendered by AutoDesk Maya, the most popular 3D animation application), and editing soundtracks for animated videos.
If you are looking for free tools to flesh out your workflow for your project, consider:
1. The following is a free video editor. I know it has a very loyal following: redshark. This runs on windows; the mac version is not available yet. There is also a linux version.
2. This is a free app that is both a sound editor (cutting and pasting and trimming chunks of wave files) and a mixer (blending multiple layers, like voice and music into a single layer): audacity. This runs on macs and windows.
3. This is a free video editor from Microsoft that runs on windows. It is very simple but other students tell me they have used it: Movie Maker.
4. This is a free image editor that runs on macs and windows. It is very powerful: GIMP.
5. This is an audio editor that runs on Windows and Macs. I THINK, but am not sure that there is a free version. I couldn't find a direct link to it on their site. It might be that you need to download the not-for-free version and then use it in trial mode: WavePad. To download their mac version, you need to be on a mac, and to download their windows version, you need to be on a windows machine.
They also happen to have a video editor and I don't know if there is a free version:VideoPad. The video editor is, however, windows-only. It is relatively inexpensive.
6. All macs should have garageband on it. This is actually a full mixing program, as well as a host for electronic instrument plugins, but it can be used as a sound editor alone.
7. This is a free image editor for windows: paint.net. It is very basic, but I have done a few interesting things with it.
Lion's missing colors: bad for folks with limited vision
Hi. I am a professor of computer science and have been an enthusiastic supporter of Apple computers since the birth of OS X. Recently, I upgraded all of my office machines to Lion.
The problem with Lion for folks with limited vision.
Well, it's a good thing Lion didn't happen a few years ago – because until then I had limited vision. I've had my corneas replaced with transplants. (The cornea is the clear outside layer of the eye; it pre-focuses light for the lens and holds the guts of your eyes inside your eyeballs.) I have also had cataract surgery on both eyes and am hyper-nearsighted.
Before my round of surgeries, I depended on one thing very heavily to orient me on a computer screen:
A powerful visual cue.
Not being able to see well robs you of your ability to quickly locate an icon on the display and get your cursor over to it. That's because it can be very difficult to interpret the exact shape of an icon. I found that I learned the color patterns of icons, both within the OS windows and at the top of applications.
It would have been much harder to get by if I couldn't have used color as a visual cue.
It was disrespectful of Apple.
I'm not any kind of militant – but it was disrespectful of Apple to get rid of color. Don't they know that many people with limited vision use computers?
a 3D animation website
I've created a new website with my training videos on 3D animation. I use Autodesk Maya, arguably the most popular commercially-available 3D modeling, animation, and rendering application.
There are thirty or so videos on the site and they cover all phases of the animation process, including modeling, lighting, materials and textures, dynamics, cloth, cameras, skeletons, deformers, and light effects.
I tend to focus on polygon and NURBS (curved line) modeling, but there is a small amount of attention paid to subdivision modeling, as well.
I am in the process of actively adding new videos to the site.
Please visit http://3DBuzz.co and take a look at them.
Each video is focused on a specific topic, area about 10 to 25 minutes in length, and are meant for beginners. The videos are also posted on my vimeo account.
Introductory videos on 3D animation with Maya, part 2
I teach 3D animation at the University of Colorado in Boulder (in the computer science department).
I got a good response from the previous posting where I listed the first five Vimeo videos I have created on how to use Autodesk Maya to create animated projects, so I have added 7 more. They are short, meant for beginners, and each is focused on a specific topic. They are meant to more or less be watched in order.
They are on:
Creating a simple cactus model with NURBS modeling.
Using the Outliner window to create dependencies between objects in a scene.
Using the Graph Editor to re-use scale, translate, and rotate animation.
Using basic polygon tools: edges, beveling, and surfaces, and creating a mailbox.
Creating a simple breadbox by using the sweeps of NURBS surfaces.
Materials, procedural textures, and bump mapping: making a varnished table.
Creating a sidewalk and a roadway using materials and bump-maps.
All of the videos are on my Vimeo account.
Introductory videos on 3D animation with Maya
Since animation is being used more and more heavily to build highly interactive web 2.0/3.0 interfaces, I thought folks might be interested in a series of videos I am creating for the 3D animation classes I teach at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
The videos are on Vimeo.
They feature Autodesk Maya, which is by far the most popular professional quality 3D modeling, animation, and rendering application. Each short video focuses on one specific concept and they are very much meant for raw beginners:
As of today, January 29, 2012, there are five of them:
Introduction to the Autodesk Maya Interface.
The 3 Kinds of Modeling Supported by Maya.
The Basic Concepts of Translation, Rotation, and Scaling.
The Basic Concept of Curved Line Modeling.
The entire set of videos can be found in my Vimeo account.
A lesson in product dependencies: why a great product can be the wrong solution
3D Animation Videos.
I teach information systems and 3D animation at the University of Colorado at Boulder. For my animation classes, I like to record my in-class lectures to that later, when students are trying to remember how to do something with an infinitely complex application like Autodesk Maya, they can look at the demonstrations on the videos. I use Camtasia (they have both a Mac and a Windows application) to create desktop/voice recordings and have found it to be a great product.
Finding a tool to quickly build a simple website.
The problem I ran into had to do with posting these videos for students to download. The site I built and where I used to host videos (http://3dbybuzz.com) turned out to be a pain to maintain because of the large number of videos I post on it. The videos are also very long. So I decided that I would make a fresh set of much shorter videos and have them hosted on a paid Vimeo account. All that works fine.
Extending an application with plugins.
Now, the Mac-based web design application I had been using is called Sandvox and it is a very elegant, intuitive tool. I think it's the best in its class in terms of ease of use. But it's a little short on functionality. So, I followed the advice from the Sandvox site to check out plugins made my another (completely unrelated) software vendor. I bought five of their plugins and they worked great. I used them on 3dbybuzz.com. So, I naturally went back there to see if they had Vimeo plugins.
A problem with service for the plugins.
Which they do. But their site seemed to malfunction. I could log in to my account, but not access anything I had paid for. The site would not let me post a service request. I couldn't find an email address or phone number on their site. (Remember, this is NOT the Sandvox folks; this is a separate company that supplies plugins.) I managed to dig up an email address for the vendor by poking around the Web. I sent a message asking to help. I tracked down one of the lead guys in the company on Facebook and left a polite request, saying their plugins are great but their site is broken.
I never heard back. Period.
Finding a different tool to build a good website.
So, I have switched to RapidWeaver, which has a very large community of plugin suppliers. It's also a very powerful app. I also bought three plugins. One for a RapidWeaver extension that provides a new kind of webpage, called Stacks, to the RapidWeaver application and two from another plugin vendor that give Vimeo capabilities to Stacks pages. They work great. I find that the combination of the Stacks webpage and the wide variety of plugins it can support to be a very clever way of extending RapidWeaver. First, you install Stacks, which allows Rapidweaver users to add a Stacks page to a website and then you choose plugins to provide capabilities to Stacks pages.
It's really too bad…
I'm a teacher and a researcher, not a business person. But tying yourself to a plugin supplier that does not provide timely customer support seems like a bad business decision to me. But, honestly, Sandvox and the five plugins I did buy from that vendor are all extremely good pieces of software, in terms of their functionality and their usability and the appearance of the resulting webpages.
More on audio editing: audio formats
Note: I have trouble uploading images to the IT Knowledge Exchange blog server. To see this blog posting with its included image go to: sound editing.
Editing Sound.
We're in a series of postings relating to editing sound.
See the previous postings on cleaning audio, selecting an audio editor, and a couple of basic audio editing principles. We have also looked at the interface to a popular audio editor, Amadeus Pro, and at basic editing in Amadeus Pro. We looked at a free audio editor, Audacity, and how one of its effects can be used to remove noise. Most recently, we looked at the way that VST and AU plugins add power to sound editors, and then at the difference between audio editors and digital audio workstations.
Sound formats.
Today, we look at a few popular audio formats and compare them.
If you want your sound to be as close as possible to the original sound captured in the real world, wav and aiff are two very popular choices. The problem is that these uncompressed sound formats can lead to very large files.
But wav and aiff are important for capturing sound in a "lossless" way, meaning that the digital media contains all the information that is captured by the recording equipment. They serve as very good archival formats for permanent recordings that might later be edited and used in a variety of other formats.
By the way, wav, which is short for Waveform Audio Format, is a Microsoft standard. And aiff stands for Audio Interchange File Format and it was developed by Apple.
Perhaps the most popular compressed sound format is mp3. It is used heavily on the Internet. It is a proprietary format owned by the Motion Picture Experts Group, and its full name is MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. It is highly compressed in that an audio recording in wav format might be reduced by 80 or 90% when converted to mp3.
This sort of transformation is called "lossy", in that information is removed during the conversion process. But what is removed is for the most part not missed by the human ear. The idea is to remove frequencies not heard by people and to remove soft sounds that are drowned out by other, louder sounds.
The end result is good enough for high quality music.
A competitor of mp3 is wma, which stands for Windows Media Audio, and is also proprietary. And yes, Apple promotes mp3.
More later…
More on sound editing: DAWs vs. wave editors
Editing Sound.
We're in a series of postings relating to editing sound.
See the previous postings on cleaning audio, selecting an audio editor, and a couple of basic audio editing principles. We have also looked at the interface to a popular audio editor, Amadeus Pro, and at basic editing in Amadeus Pro. We looked at a free audio editor, Audacity, and how one of its effects can be used to remove noise. Most recently, we looked at the way that VST and AU plugins add power to sound editors.
Today, we look at a common question.
What is the difference between a DAW and a wave editor?
The products we have looked at so far are generally called audio editors or wave editors. These include Amadeus, Wavelab, Peak, Sound Forge, and Sound Studio. See the links above.
Highly multitrack.
A Digital Audio Workstation (or DAW) is generally a far more complicated program. A wave (or audio) editor usually can only handle one or two tracks of recordings, while a DAW might support ten or twenty or more tracks.
Non-destructive editing.
Wave editors are used (usually) to perform what is called destructive editing.
This is a term that is used with regard to a wide variety of media applications, and quite frankly, "non-destructive" editing tends to sound better to the average person. Apple Aperture is a photo editor and manager that supports non-destructive editing, in that you can apply powerful effects to an image without risk of destroying the original image.
DAWs support non-destructive editing because the goal of a DAW is to support the sophisticated mixing of pre-existing sound tracks, as well as the application of special effects to sound tracks. But a wave editor is used to make raw recordings and edit them into the sorts of useful tracks that might be imported into a DAW.
Special effects, software instruments, and MIDI.
We'll look at these things in the next in this series of blog postings relating to audio editing.
But to wrap things up, here is a screenshot of a very popular DAW, Cubase, the same folks who make the WaveLab wave editor we have previously discussed:
VST and AU plugins: Making audio editors more powerful
This blog is dedicated to advanced Web and media technology. Most recently, we have been looking at editing audio.
Editing Sound.
See the previous postings on cleaning audio, selecting an audio editor, and a couple of basic audio editing principles. Then, we looked at the interface to a popular audio editor, Amadeus Pro, and at basic editing in Amadeus Pro. We then looked at a free audio editor, Audacity, and how one of its effects can be used to remove noise.
Plugins: extending an editor's power.
Today, we look at audio plugins. These are the way we can augment the basic capabilities of an audio editor. It is important to choose an editor, in fact, that supports plugins. If you don't, you are buying an already-handicapped editor.
Two popular plugin formats.
There are two popular formats for plugins: VST and AU. The first stands for Virtual Studio Technology and was developed by Steinberg, makers of a very powerful audio editor called Wavelab. The second stands for Audio Unit and was developed by Apple.
Most audio editors support VST plugins (and sometimes derivatives of VST). Some also support AU plugins. Plugins can be used to clean audio, correct and change pitch in sound tracks, analyze the properties of a sound track, remove specific frequencies of sound, equalize sound volume levels across a track, and many other things.
The Peak editor.
Below is an audio editor sold by Bias. It is called Peak. It's rather expensive, but they have a much cheaper "LE" edition that is moderately priced and has almost all the capabilities of the full version. It comes with a powerful suite of plugins made by Bias (and using their proprietary format). Peak also supports VST and AU plugins.
The image shows a stereo track along with Reveal, Bias' powerful audio analysis plugin. Reveal is used heavily by editors who are mastering audio tracks. It can be used to monitor sound levels and panning (the movement of sound between the two stereo channels). It can also perform spectral analysis, which can be used to remove short, loud noises such as a mouse clicking.
Peak LE is probably the best editor for the money. It costs more than Amadeus Pro, but is far more powerful and comes with a suite of great plugins. Another great choice is Steinberg's Wavelab Elements.
More soon…
More on audio editing: cleaning in the free Amadeus editor
Recently, we have been looked at the process of editing and cleaning sound. See the previous three postings: cleaning and editing(1) and editing(2). Then, we looked at a very popular Mac wave editor, Amadeus Pro. Most recently, we looked at basic sound editing in Amadeus.
Today, we look at a free audio editor, Audacity. In particular, it has a great noise removal effect.
Cleaning sound in Audacity – a voice track.
First, we create a track and use the red button to record a few seconds of silence, and then a voice.
The denoise effect in Audible.
Now, we swipe the "silence" part of the track, which is really a bunch of background and mic noise. Then, we select the noise removal effect.
Then we tell the effect plugin to "Get Noise Profile".
Then, we go back to the track and swipe all of it. Then, pull down the effect again and choose "OK".
Now, look at how the effect has removed the noise from the entire track, including the part with the voice recording on it.
The result is a chunk of audio that sounds very professional.
More soon.

Sweetheart Shortbread - Pink Saturday
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I adore shortbread, thick or thin, and this is my favorite recipe for this buttery treat. I've dipped the cookies into a pink frosting for Pink Saturday. Truth be told, I also use a variety of other frostings or toppings for this cookie. This one seemed appropriate with Valentine's Day not too far off. This versatile classic defines simplicity and is very easy to make. It can take any shape you choose to give it. You're going to love this one, I promise. Here's the recipe.
Sweetheart Shortbread...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
Cookie Base:
1 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons whole milk
Red food coloring
1) To make cookie base: Combine butter and confectioners' sugar in bowl of an electric stand mixer. Beat with paddle attachment on medium speed until fluffy. Add vanilla extract and beat until combined. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. With mixer on low speed, slowly add flour to butter mixture. Beat only until combined. Over beating will make cookies tough. From dough in a ball. Cover in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. When dough is chilled, transfer to a lightly floured surface and roll dough to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Cut to desired shape with cookie cutter of your choice. Transfer to prepared cookie sheets, placing cookies 1/2-inch apart. Scraps can be rerolled.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
2) To make frosting: Combine confectioners' sugar, milk and a drop of red food coloring in a small bowl. When cookies are cool, dip them face down into frosting and transfer, frosting side up, to a rack that will allow excess to drip off. Allow frosting to set before transferring to air tight containers. Yield: 24 cookies.

Mary, I made your Chocolate and Black Bean Chili several days ago and am dropping by to give you husband Pete's remarks: "the best chili I have ever had... smooth and full bodied, so full of flavor... now this is gourmet!" I will add to that: I liked the meat (not being ground), the smaller bite-sized pieces and also the little bit of kick from the jalapenos, a follow-thru of flavor. Thank you Mary!

I am very saddened that I've had to put word verification back on due to my email address being hijacked on Friday, so I spent most of yesterday doing damage limitation. So I'm now moderating AND have word verification (which I will take off again in a week or so, once the hackers get the message). So I apologise for that.
Hence, an apologetic and belated Happy Pink Saturday on Sunday!

Jeter setback has Yanks against wall
TAMPA, Fla. -- Maybe you've looked at the Yankees lately and wondered how they can not finish last in the American League East. How many punches can a team take and remain on its feet?
"I was raised under The Boss," general manager Brian Cashman said, "and what The Boss said is, `No excuses.' These are obstacles you deal with, and you find ways to get over them."
That's exactly the kind of thing George Steinbrenner would say, and that's one of the reasons Yankees fans loved him. Still, there are limits.
"No one cares about anything else. All they care about is the bottom line," Cashman said. "It's what you put in that win column."
When manager Joe Girardi was asked these questions two weeks ago, he said pretty much the same thing. He said the Yankees had dealt with adversity before. Dealt with it then. Would deal with it now.
"That's the job description, period," Cashman said. "You have to figure it out. That's all you do. You have to find a way."
The Yankees knew they'd be different offensively after the offseason free-agency departures of Nick Swisher, Russell Martin, Raul Ibanez and others. Now they'll be without Curtis Granderson for about a month of the regular season and Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira indefinitely, perhaps the entire season.
On Wednesday, Cashman acknowledged that the previously indestructible Derek Jeter might also begin the season on the disabled list. So with Opening Day fast approaching, the Yankees have penciled in Brennan Boesch and Ben Francisco in left, Juan Rivera at first base, Eduardo Nunez at shortstop and Francisco Cervelli at catcher.
Cashman will be scouring the waiver wire for help in these final days of Spring Training. He seems unlikely to change the larger course he has set and deal any of his best Minor League talent, which, unfortunately for 2013, is at Double-A and below.
And the question marks at those four spots isn't the end of the discussion. The Yankees are counting on Ichiro Suzuki (right), Travis Hafner (designated hitter) and Kevin Youkilis (third), but have no idea how much productive baseball they still have in them.
Until Wednesday, they pretty much figured they could count on solid production from three spots: second base (Robinson Cano), center field (Brett Gardner) and shortstop (Jeter). Now they're not so sure about Jeter.
"Obviously we'd like not to have those issues," Cashman said, "but issues are part of everybody's circumstances. Some years you have more than others, but the bottom line is, your job is to get through 'em no matter whether you're player, coach, manager or front office. Your job is to get through all these issues, period."
OK, this is where we spin the optimistic angle. The Yankees could have a terrific starting rotation and a very good bullpen. Andy Pettitte is 40, Hiroki Kuroda is 38, and the Yankees need both of them to stay healthy.
There's also an aura to the Yankees that's still worth something. It's interesting that even with all the losses, even with a lineup that's a shadow of previous seasons, no one is completely counting them out.
For one thing, that pitching staff could keep them competitive. For another thing, the Yankees could stay close long enough to get at least Granderson back, and if they're close, Cashman will have the resources -- at least in dollars if not Minor League talent -- to fill holes.
But it's a different kind of Spring Training. For most of the last 20 years, they've been conceded a postseason berth, the questions being whether they could win another championship.
This spring, the discussion is completely different. In terms of what can be measured and seen, the Yankees do not resemble anything they've put on the field in a long time.
"It's a long season," Cashman said. "We're going to do everything in our power to make sure that when the dust settles, you're sitting around asking, `How did you figure your way through this?' We're not going to allow it to bury us."

The debate over campaign finance in Vermont has focused squarely on elections for public office. Some lawmakers, however, are now looking to shine a brighter light on the influence of money in the legislative process.
A flurry of radio advertisements related to the soda tax in recent weeks has prompted new calls for heightened disclosure requirements. Lobbyists, or the special interests that hire them, are already required to file expense reports with the Secretary of State three times per year.
But Rep. Mike Fisher, a Lincoln Democrat and chairman of the House Committee on Health Care, said the infrequency of those deadlines prevents lawmakers from getting timely information about the monied interests trying to sway their votes on controversial bills.
"I think it's totally appropriate for anybody with an interest in legislation to spend as much money as they want to influence our decisions," Fisher said. "I just want to know how much."
Fisher wants to take a page from the laws that govern the 30-day run-up to elections, when anyone running an ad for or against a candidate has to file a finance report within 24 hours of it airing. Fisher's committee drafted a memorandum this week seeking a similar standard for expenditures that try to influence lawmakers' votes on specific bills.
Mass media expenditures include things like radio and television ads, but also ads in local newspapers and mass mailings to constituents.
In much the same way that candidates and political action committees use media to influence elections, lobbyists and special-interest groups use it to sway the outcome of votes on key bills. This year has already featured two ad-generating issues in "death with dignity" and the soda tax.
Fisher said he was moved to act after asking veteran Montpelier lobbyist Andrew MacLean how much the beverage associations he represents had paid to run the anti-soda-tax messages that have appeared recently in print and radio ads. The ads encourage voters to contact their legislators and register their opposition to the proposal.
Fisher said MacLean told him he'd get back to him with the information. Fisher said though that another member of MacLean's firm, Heidi Tringe, later told him he'd get the answer on the next mandated disclosure deadline, which doesn't come until April.
"Our committee is debating this issue now, so that's not a really useful timetable," Fisher said. "I'm of the belief that if money is being spent to influence a political process, then it needs to be part of the record."
The American Heart Association, a proponent of the soda tax, has been running ads in favor of the penny-per-ounce surcharge. Tina Zuk, director of government affairs for the organization, voluntarily provided Fisher with information detailing her group's $3,000 worth of mass media buys.
"We have nothing to hide and we're doing it for a great cause," Zuk said. "(Fisher) said he's interested in learning sooner than later about how money spent on media might be affecting the political process, and we're happy to provide him with the information."
MacLean's firm, MacLean Meehan Rice, declined comment.
Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, has overseen mid-session media campaigns on everything from renewable energy subsidies to bottle-deposit bills.
"It works," Burns said. "It's always hard to know precisely what caused someone to make a call to their legislator, and whether it caused that person to vote a certain way. But it's mass communication, and it helps to create a certain public sentiment around an issue."
Burns said he's not opposed to real-time disclosure requirements for legislative advocacy. But he said the Legislature should make sure it doesn't expose itself to legal challenges. The restrictions on political speech during elections, Burns said, are designed to prevent the kind of quid pro quo corruption that might arise when a candidate owes the people that got him or her into office.
"That same fear of course does not apply when we are looking at issue of advancing or trying to stop specific pieces of legislation," Burns said. "But you still have a state interest it seems to me, and a public interest, in knowing who is sponsoring those ads and how much they're spending."
Fisher said the memorandum will be sent to the chairwomen of the House and Senate committees on government operations, where they'll be considered alongside a slate of other campaign-finance provisions being debated this year.

TRAINING: Typical day is sprints or plyos in the morning, rest, weights 3X a week, and heavy sparring and grappling in the evening.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started in 1998 just because it looked fun and I knew some friends who where getting involved. It was really just for fun at first.
Do you have any heroes? I can't say I have anyone I look at as a hero. I have several people I look at and really respect and admire. Those are the people I really listen to and think about what they say. I feel anything they do or say is something I can learn from.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means I've been successful in what I've been trying to do. It means I'm at the top of the MMA world right now.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to Indiana University and got a degree in Sports Management.
What was your job before you started fighting? Personal trainer.
Accomplishments in pro competition? Hook 'n Shoot title
Favorite grappling technique: Chokes
Favorite Striking technique: Punches

This is Debbie Doublebubble. She is the Heartaches' road manager and protector. She kicks ass-especially the asses of boys who are mean and immature-which is all of them!
(Character design by Gabe Swarr!)
Here is Roxy's neighbor, Mr. Crusty. He hates loud rock music so whenever Roxy's band is playing in the garage, he turns up all his laid-back 70s records real loud to drown out the evil rock music. He loves any music sung by people named Neil: Neil Diamond, Neil Young and Neil Sedaka.
(Character design by Gabe Swarr!)
This is Mr. Crusty's pet, Crabby the Duck. He is a duck curmudgeon. He doesn't like other pets, especially Roxy's cat, Maynard. He is always challenging Maynard to no-holds-barred fisticuffs on Mr. Crusty's lawn. Maynard is terrified of this foul-billed bully.
All the bugs on the lawn love to watch the fur and feathers fly.
Here's Eric the DJ. He feels he is a soul mate to the girls in the Heartaches' band, because he has a talent too.
The girls' talent is to make records. Eric's talent is to take the records and scratch them up, which drives Roxy crazy. Eric is always taking her classic rock albums and scratching the living crap out of them.
He has other talents too, like kicking the toaster, pulling the tape out of videocasettes and eating crayons then shooting the mashed bits from his nose onto wax paper.
The girls make fun of his talents and he can't figure out why because he has seen Eminem get rich on even less ability. He is envious of the one amazing talent that Eminem has: The ability to catch his pants just at the moment they are about to fall off.
(Character design by Gabe Swarr!)
Darla Dumbell has failed 3 years in a row. She's in Roxy's class and is 3 years ahead in physical development from the other girls. She is the bad girl of the class and all the boys love her but she only dates boys from reform school.
She gets expelled all the time.
Bad bad bad.
(Character design by Gabe Swarr!)
Tammy Training Bra is training under Darla to be bad. She's not really stupid enough to be bad but tries real hard.
Darla is embarrassed to be seen with her but happily takes her money and makes her do her homework and stuff.

New Orleans Saints 5 player not on the practice field Wednesday
The New Orleans Saints prepare to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14, but there are five players not on the practice field Wednesday.
During the portion of practice open to the media, The Saints running back Mark Ingram, left tackle Terron Armstead, rookie wide receiver Michael Thomas, center Max Unger and tight end Josh Hill were not observed on the field.
Ingram missed two days of practice in Week 13 due to the toe injury.
Armstead originally suffered the knee injury in Week 2 and has missed six games on the season.
Thomas's and Unger's absences from the practice field have unkonwn reason.
Hill suffered a broken fibula when played against Detroit in Week 13.
However, Linebacker Craig Robertson and rookie running back Daniel Lasco were observed on the practice field. Robertson left Week 13's game with an undisclosed injury early midway through the fourth quarter. Also, Lasco has missed the five previous weeks of action while battling a hamstring injury.
