Harry Rosen, who founded Junior's Restaurant, the Brooklyn institution renowned for cheesecake so rich and creamy it made tough men swoon, died yesterday at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was 92.
The cause was bladder cancer, said a son, Marvin Rosen.
For almost 46 years, Junior's has anchored the intersection in downtown Brooklyn of Fulton Street, DeKalb Avenue and the Flatbush Avenue extension. The lively, brassy restaurant, whose orange booths and chairs could seat nearly 400 people, has been a magnet for politicians who came to make deals, journalists who came to meet politicians and moviegoers who came for refreshment. But above all, everyone came for the cheesecake.
''It was perfect, it was the platonic cheesecake, as smooth as alabaster,'' said Michael Stern, who with his wife, Jane, writes about American regional foods. ''If you think of great cheesecake, you think of New York cheesecake, and when you wanted great cheesecake in New York, you went to Junior's.''
When Mr. Rosen opened Junior's on Nov. 4, 1950, it quickly became the place to go before seeing a show at one of the downtown theaters, like the Albee, the Fox and the Strand. After a Dodgers game, people would travel to Junior's on the Flatbush Avenue trolley. Later, it became a hangout for Brooklyn politicians.
''Guys like Meade Esposito would go in there and make judges in the back room,'' the writer Pete Hamill said.
Even today, Junior's is an obligatory stop on the campaign trail. Bill Clinton ate cheesecake there in 1992, while Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, District Attorney Charles J. Hynes of Brooklyn and the Rev. Al Sharpton are among those who believe flashbulbs are just another kind of icing on the cheesecake.
Mr. Rosen was born in 1904 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. At 13, he dropped out of school to work as a soda jerk. Before long, he opened his own sandwich shop in Manhattan, the Enduro, named after the equipment company that provided him with stainless steel.
Eventually, he owned five Enduro sandwich shops, four in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn, on the site of Junior's. In the 1930's, Mr. Rosen sold his Manhattan branches to concentrate on the Brooklyn Enduro.
''It was a large bar with entertainment and a steakhouse,'' Marvin Rosen recalled. But after World War II, he said, his father decided he had to change with the times. He closed the Enduro, and after a year of renovation, Junior's was born.
Mr. Rosen ran Junior's with his two sons, Marvin and Walter, a family arrangement that inspired the restaurant's name. ''Working with him was not a picnic,'' Marvin Rosen said. ''He was a tough, demanding man. He was a perfectionist.''
He brought this perfectionist attitude to the creation of Junior's cheesecake, which he devised with the restaurant's head baker, Eigel Petersen.
As Marvin Rosen remembers it, his father brought to Brooklyn cheesecakes he had tasted all over the country. ''My father was the type of man who, when he saw a product, would buy it and bring it back, even from Oshkosh, to examine it,'' he said.
While Junior's was a full-service restaurant, offering corned beef, steaks and seafood carried by its fast-talking waiters, cheesecake gradually became its signature dish.
And though Junior's is generally thought to be a product of earlier, more Runyonesque times, it was not until 1973, when Junior's won a cheesecake contest held by New York Magazine, that its claim to the world's cheesecake throne was finally made, Marvin Rosen said.
Since then, Junior's has drawn a steady stream of tourists to Brooklyn for a taste, an exodus interrupted in 1981 by a fire that left the restaurant a scarred ruin. It took almost a year to repair, but, like an irrepressible souffle, Junior's rose again, reopening in 1982.
Mr. Rosen retired in the mid-1970's, ceding control of the restaurant to his sons. Marvin and Walter Rosen now are turning the restaurant over to a third generation, Walter's sons, Kevin and Alan Rosen, who have added a mail-order cheesecake business.
In addition to his two sons and two grandsons, Mr. Rosen is survived by his wife of 67 years, Ruth; a sister, Marcia, of Boca Raton, Fla.; seven other grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
Recipe of a Lifetime: Junior's Cheesecake
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons sifted cornstarch
30 ounces (3 3/4 large packages) cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
1/2 cup heavy (whipping) cream
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Lightly coat the bottom of the pan with the graham cracker crumbs and refrigerate the pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar and the cornstarch. Beat in the cream cheese. Beat in the egg. Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream, beating constantly. Add the vanilla and stir well.
3. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 3 hours.
Yield: 8 to 10 servings.
From ''New York Cookbook,'' by Molly O'Neill (Workman Publishing, 1992)

The responses to my request for Viewer Mail were overwhelming. Thanks to everyone who wrote, and I will try to answer all of your questions in time, either on the blog or through personal correspondence.
But for now, Amanda from Yorba Vista, California writes:
Dear Conlan,
Are you trying to tell me that you don't get paid to write blogs? Is that what you are telling me?
A man. Duh.
Hey, man. Thanks for your letter (How did you get my mailing address?), and Go Nighthawks (Mascot)! I am pleased that you think I am telling–or trying to tell–you something. However, there is a fundamental problem with your premise. First of all, do I own a pen and paper? Yes, I do. Have you seen them? Not that I know of. You see, in your mind (the Universe) you have constructed an ideal portrait of (This is) Conlan that can never be achieved in reality. This portrait is probably a composite of your abusive father (whose love you could not earn, no matter how hard you tried), that one guy on the TV, and Nelson "Rolihlahla" Mandela (not the African one). Please consult a good astrologer (not a witch doctor) for advice on gymnastics, etc. In response to your question: it's possible.
An initial reader in Lacey, Washington writes:
Is it really possible?
Hi, Marco. No. It's not really possible.
OK, that's all the time we have for this week. As always (AKA last week), please send your questions as comments on this post, or directly to conlan at thisis(I can't believe it's not)conlan.com. Peace out (just kidding).

Entries by a MOOC participant
this last week's Rhizomatic Learning quest "Is Books Making Us Stoopid?" trickster Dave Cormier conflates this question with Nicholas Carr's "Is the Internet Making Us Stupid?" and got just what he was looking for — a rhizomatic flurry of ideas, campfires and even a call to revolution!
In my last post, Keith Harmon took the time to follow my rhizomatic journey. His reflection actually was very insightful for me, as what I considered chaotic, he was able to see as guideposts in the blazing of new trails.
This week, my journey was focused on the power of words — words as symbols — words as a means of communication, and words as a means of telling a story. What is consistent in this exploration is that technology, whether it is the printing press, the pen, the computer, or the internet, affects our stories — and that our stories are now becoming interactive.
In 2001, futurist David Thornburg "Campfires in Cyberspace" alludes to this new twist on rhizomatic learning…"While new media can be used to tell stories in this fashion, the power of interactivity lets us move beyond the linear presentation of material. One possibility is to invert the Aristotelian world by creating a conflict to be resolved (the ground) and then to allow the user, through interaction with the multimedia software, to resolve the conflict through the creation of a unique story with its own beginning middle and end. This figure/ground reversal is possible because new media are not frozen in time. Unlike static words and images created by a storyteller, the learner can craft dynamic resolutions to a challenge created by a new breed of story maker." Mind you, this was almost 15 years ago and the power of the Internet was no where near it is today.
This concept of technology influencing our storytelling is echoed by Joe Sabia in the Technology of Storytelling.
The power of the spoken word is so compelling, several participants, including myself, looked to ancient texts for guidance. Check out how ancient texts have influenced Janet Webster. What this exploration uncovered for me is that it is not the words themselves, but the symbols of the words and their underlying meaning that is important. This is what allows you to read such text again and again and derive deeper meaning each time, as readers of the Quran, Bible or other sacred text can attest.
"I read the Quran often (almost daily) and static though it may seem to be, it speaks to me differently every time. It is the same words and letters. It is not the same meanings each time." (Maha Bali, Books: How Do They Ever Get Published?")
"Without an in depth knowledge of the Hebrew letters, the original language of the scriptures, one cannot understand the Western religions or the secrets hidden within them. Like Sanskrit, Chinese, Tibetan, Greek and other ancient languages, the Hebrew letters constitute a primary expression of the language and mathematics of spirituality." (The Alphabet of the Kabbalah: The Secret Meaning of the Hebrew Letters of the Bible)
Books are not making us stupid. Books are merely a vehicle for the words, the symbols, and the stories. Technology is changing the way we communicate and changing the role that books have in our lives. For instance, I have over 40 cookbooks in my kitchen and I can't tell you the last time I opened one because I am creating my own online cookbook. When was the last time I checked a book out of the library? Don't know. But I can tell you that I did download over 100 library eBooks over the past year onto my iPad.
What is so exciting is imagining what technology will do to our conscious brains when we are able to uncover new knowledge through interactive storytelling.
As Simon Ensor says, it will indeed be a revolution.

The Neurosciences and Music - IV: Learning and Memory, to be held in Edinburgh (Scotland, UK) from 9th to 12th June 2011. The conference is conceived as a continuation of the previous meetings on the relation between Music and the Neurosciences in which our Foundation participated: "The Biological Foundations of Music" (New York, 2000), "The Neurosciences and Music - I , Mutual interactions and implications of developmental functions" (Venice, 2002), "The Neurosciences and Music - II, From perception to performance" (Leipzig, 2005) and "The Neurosciences and Music - III, Disorders and plasticity". These conferences have been highly successful and have generated enormous excitement, both among established and new researchers. By providing the opportunity to present new results and exchange information, the meetings have contributed substantially to the growth of new research and collaborations in the neuroscience of music and to its visibility within the broader scientific community.
The central theme of Music and Neurosciences IV will be Learning and Memory. The conference programme will also be divided into 4 subthemes: "Infants and Children", "Adults: musicians and non musicians", "Disabilities and aging-related issues" and "Therapy and Rehabilitation". The conference will include Keynote Lectures, Symposia, Poster Sessions and a Workshop on child-oriented research design and new data acquisition and analysis techniques, to be held in the afternoon on 9th June. The conference will be of interest not only to neuroscientists, psychologists and students but also to clinical neurologists, clinical psychologists, therapists, music performers and educators as well as musicologists.
Edinburgh has been selected as a most appropriate setting because of the IMHSD - Institute for Music in Human and Social Development, established in 2005, which brings together music research, theory and practice from a wide range of disciplines, with an emphasis on learning and rehabilitation. The selected dates are immediately prior to the "Edinburgh International Film Festival" (EIFF), so delegates will have the opportunity to stay on in Edinburgh to attend this event. The EIFF was one of the world's first international film festivals, born alongside the Edinburgh International Festival in 1947, and places a longstanding emphasis upon new talent, discovery and innovation.

Moments of Love in Ancient Egypt (MOLIAE) Episode 2: "Salma and Nahor Transformation" - represents the love of culture, tradition, honor, as well as the spiritual power of human beings on the consensus of choices - that defines our reality as we struggle to define and demonstrate love to ourselves and others in a healthy capacity.
Princess Aamina's (Protagonist) is dedicated to her parents by following royal obligations, cultural tradition, and the family expectations of taking over rulership of Egypt (Kemet). She has the spiritual powers of the third-eye; telepathic, clairvoyance, initution, and psychometric by being a descendant from the Ancient Gods of Sumer and was taught to manage 9th ethereal-energies at the Mystery School of Thought in Egypt. However, Princess Aamina is very confused and afraid to make a needed choice when she only wants peace between her parents, King Dumah and King Daniy'el.
As in Ms. Anderson's book… Chapter 17: Choices are Made to Secure One's Future
Princess Aamina feelings of uncertainty prevent her to spiritually grow and take charge of her life by making a choice that will define her future. She must learn that love is honor to others when you love yourself enough - to doing what is right by reconciling your heart with your mind. That is the foundation of a healthy representation of what love is.
King Dumah's (Antagonist) in which his heart and mind is filled with entitlement, greed, and desire to control his life experiences by choices - that demonstrates an unhealthy way to express love to his-self and others. With King Dumah inheriting his throne, in South Africa, earlier than Princess Aamina, he has been living beyond his means and is in severe debt and desperately needs this deal (arranged marriage) since they were children to come to fruition; by any means necessary. No other outcome is acceptable – not even if his half-brother King Daniy'el gets in the way towards obtaining Princess Aamina's wealth and joint terrorities once Princess Aamina becomes Queen of Egypt.
As in Ms. Anderson's book... Chapter 21: Choose Your Own Destiny
King Dumah loves power and wealth. He has spiritual powers of the third eye; telepathic, clairvoyance, intuition, and psychometric by being a descendant from the Ancient Gods of Sumer and was taught to manage 9th ethereal-energies at the Mystery School of Thought in Egypt. When King Dumah finds out about his older brother and Aamina courtship, King Dumah is beyond furious at their disrespect of "The Deal" and plots to take matters into his own hands.
King Dumah's choice of action will change many lives forever, in the pursuit to guarantee his marriage to Princess Aamina. For, King Dumah stands to lose a kingdom and the only way of life he has known if they do not marry, so he declares to take the ultimate sacrifice by seizing the moment - that he feels represents itself in the name of love.

The ketogenic diet (or keto diet, for short) is a low-carb, high-fat diet that offers many health benefits. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain.
A gluten-free diet involves excluding foods that contain the protein gluten, including wheat, rye and barley. Many believe that the gluten-free diet is simply a quick way to lose weight. This, however, is not true. The gluten-free diet is currently the only treatment for people with celiac disease. If you are intolerant to gluten, then you need to avoid it completely. If not, you will experience severe discomfort and adverse health effects.
"Halal" is an arabic word which means permissible or lawful. When used in reference to diet, 'halal' simply refers to the food and drink that is permissible for a Muslim to consume. This diet is intended to compliment the Islamic ethos of protecting all aspects of one's life. This includes an individual's health, wealth, property, and intellect. Those who follow this diet do so for the purpose of avoiding harm in these areas. Only foods that are considered pure, clean, and not harmful to the body are designated as halal.
"Kosher" is a term used to describe food that complies with the strict dietary standards of traditional Jewish law. For many Jews, kosher is about more than just health or food safety. It is about reverence and adherence to religious tradition. With specific exceptions (pork, shellfish, rodents, birds of prey), almost any food can be kosher if it is prepared in accordance with the religious rules. And, contrary to what some believe, the word "kosher" does not signify that food has been blessed by a rabbi.
The vegan diet has been gaining popularity in recent years. The vegan diet is a type of vegetarian diet, but in addition to meats and fish, eggs, dairy, and all other animal products are also to be avoided. Many people choose to eat this way for ethical, environmental or health reasons. It's true a vegan diet can help you maintain a healthy weight and improve your heart health.
The vegetarian diet involves abstaining from eating meat, fish and poultry. It is associated with a number of health benefits. In fact, studies show that vegetarians tend to have better diet quality than meat-eaters and a higher intake of important nutrients like fiber, vitamin C, vitamin E and magnesium. Moreover, switching to a vegetarian diet can be also an effective strategy if you're looking to lose weight.

Stuttering affects more than 70 million people across the globe. Men and women from every culture can relate to the painful experience of trying to express themselves but physically or mentally not being able to. Speech pathologists have been working with stuttering patients for years, and we now have more knowledge and tools to fight stuttering before it takes over a person's life.
Types of Stuttering
Doctors have determined that there are four types of stuttering:
- developmental- most common form of stuttering that occurs during a child's language development.
- neurogenic- a form of stuttering that occurs because of a lack of proper communication between the brain and our muscles/nerves. This can be a result of a birth defect, or it can develop after a stroke or other medical trauma.
- psychogenic- a form of stuttering that occurs after a traumatic event. This is rare, and it is treated the same as developmental stuttering.
- pharmacological- a form of stuttering that occurs as a side effect of a medication.
Signs of Stuttering Problem
The signs of stuttering are easy to spot. You will be able to hear the stuttering and the struggle when the patient speaks. They may even repeat words or phrases, and you may also notice that the person doesn't want to speak at all or gets angry when trying to speak. Pay attention to evidence of any other speech problems or communication problems that have developed.
There are a number of reasons that stuttering can inflict someone. Examples include:
- genetics
- stress
- neurophysiology
- development problems
- immobility of tongue
Getting Help
Speech therapy has proven to be a very effective form of treatment for patients who have stuttered for extended periods of time, stutter often, show signs of emotions problems, and have a family past of stuttering. Luckily, many children whose stutter is treated right away will experience an almost full recovery. In fact, only one in four children who experience stuttering will stutter in adulthood.
Bring your child to a speech therapist if the above is true:
- stutter lasts more than six months
- stutter grows worse with age
- stutter prevents child from speaking or causes emotional problems
- stutter begins as an adult
Speech pathologists have a variety of exercises to help the patient gain control of their ability to speak. They also emphasize increasing the quality of life of the patient and teach them how to speak with confidence despite their condition. Contact a clinic, like Eastern Carolina Ear Nose & Throat-Head, for more help.Share

Wexford Equestrian has an unrivalled range of Outdoor All Weather Arenas specifically designed to cater for all equestrian disciplines – Our arenas are all Wexford Sand & Fibre Surfaces.
Beech Cross Country arena – 110m x 75m
This unique outdoor all weather Wexford Sand & Fibre arena has a selection of Banks, Coffins, Portable Fences, Tyres, Skinnys and a superb Water Complex to mention but a few of the almost 100 fences available at various times. This offers a cross country arena that gives the horse and rider the option of a full cross country course within the safe surrounds of a post & rail fenced arena specifically designed to enhance the performance of the cross country horse whilst promoting soundness and injury limitation, all the while changing periodically to further challenge both horse and rider. The all-sand and fibre surface also means a cleaner horse post schooling and no studs required during all weather conditions!!
Cedar Outdoor arena – 70m X 55m
The Cedar Outdoor Arena is a multi-purpose sand facility. Usually set up as a Show Jumping arena with top quality customised fences for schooling purposes, it is available to hire all year round. During our scheduled events the Cedars Outdoor arena facilitates warm up before competition for both the indoor show-jumping and XC events in the outdoor cross country arena.
Ash Arena – 40m x 30m
The Ash Arena is a smaller all weather arena which provides a valuable safe environment for introducing younger horses to new spaces. It is used during our various competition days as warm up for dressage and showjumping alike. Ideally situated it allows easy access to the indoor arena.
Maple arena – 30m x 30m
The Maple arena is a wonderfully useful all weather sand arena which is ideal for young horse and nervous riders who feel safer in an enclosed area.
Grass Arena – coming soon – 100m X 75m
We hope to unveil a new purpose designed grass arena to provide competitions on a quality grass surface during the summer season. Many major shows during the various equestrian calendars take part on grass surfaces and Wexford Equestrian hopes to provide excellent schooling/qualifiers for noted upcoming shows as well as holding our own seasonal competitions on grass which we hope will be as big a success as our all weather surface events to date.

The Church of England should not drop its opposition to gay marriage, a new report suggests.
There is "little support" for an official change in the Church's stance according to The House of Bishops, who published the document. This is a group of 50 senior officials who make up one of the three divisions of the General Synod, the Church of England's legislative body. The claim was made following three years of "shared conversations" held in private by members of the clergy.
Despite this recommendation on same sex marriage, the Church should establish "a fresh tone and culture of welcome and support for lesbian and gay people" the report stated.
The document has been met with criticism from members of the Church. On BBC Radio 4's The World at One programme, north London parish priest Andrew Foreshaw-Cain called it a "failure of leadership". Foreshaw-Cain is in a same sex marriage and warned that the LGBT community within the Church would be "extremely hurt" by the recommendations.
He said:
"We were asked to trust our leaders and many of us made ourselves vulnerable during the shared conversations process and none of that has been heard … The bishops have gone ahead and talked as if we didn't take part in it and as if we are not there."
The majority of Anglican Christians support gay marriage, the priest claimed, but this is not reflected in the House of Bishops report.
Tracey Byrne is the Chief Executive of LGBT rights charity the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement. She said that gay members of the Church had "participated in this process in good faith, at considerable personal cost". They will be "angry and disappointed that there appears so little real change".
In open letter to the bishops, Byrne's organisation claimed that the report essentially asks LGBT members of the clergy to "keep the nature of their relationships hidden". The letter read:
"[F]ar from equalising the situation between straight and gay clergy, it pushes LGBTI+ clergy back into the closet."
The report will be discussed at the Church's upcoming General Synod meeting, which will take place next month in London.

Something to soothe the soul
I took this picture in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire, England about a year ago. I loved the reflections of the stained glass windows in the water of the black font.
The inscription on the side of the font read: "As you pass through the waters, I shall be with you."
A reminder of the beauty of love, silence, stillness and grace, no matter what your religious or spiritual faith.

Salisbury Cathedral, ah memories, just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your photo.

I'm running a Python Pyramid app on a CentOS server using uWSGI and nginx. I'm using SQLAlchemy as an ORM, MySQLdb as the API, and MySQL as a database. The site hasn't gone live yet, so the only traffic is me and some other employees of the company. We purchased some data to populate the database, so the largest (and most frequently queried) table is ~150,000 rows.
Yesterday I opened four new tabs of the website in quick succession, and I got back a couple 502 Bad Gateway errors. I looked in the uWSGI log, and found the following:
sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (OperationalError) (2006, 'MySQL server has gone away') 'SELECT ge...
Important note: This error is not due to MySQL's wait_timeout. Been there, done that.
I wondered if the issue was caused by concurrent requests being served simultaneously. I made myself a poor man's load tester:
for i in {1..10}; do (curl -o /dev/null http://domain.com &); done;
Sure enough, within those ten requests at least one would throw a 2006 error, oftentimes more. Sometimes the errors would get even stranger, for example:
sqlalchemy.exc.NoSuchColumnError: "Could not locate column in row for column 'table.id'"
When the column most definitely exists and worked fine on all the other identical requests. Or, this one:
sqlalchemy.exc.ResourceClosedError: This result object does not return rows. It has been closed automatically.
When, once again, it worked fine for all the other requests.
To further verify that the problem stemmed from concurrent database connections, I set uWSGI to a single worker and multi-threading disabled, forcing the requests to be processed one at a time. Sure enough, the problems disappeared.
In an attempt to find the problem, I set up an error log for MySQL. With the exception of some notices during MySQL starting up, it remains empty.
Here is my MySQL config:
default-storage-engine = myisam
key_buffer = 1M
query_cache_size = 1M
query_cache_limit = 128k
tmp_table_size = 1M
max_heap_table_size = 1M
max_allowed_packet = 1M
sort_buffer_size = 64K
read_buffer_size = 256K
read_rnd_buffer_size = 256K
net_buffer_length = 2K
thread_stack = 64K
Heavy Googling on the error revealed little, but suggested that I increase max_allowed_packet. I increased it to 100M and restarted MySQL, but that didn't help at all.
To summarize: Concurrent connections to MySQL cause
2006, 'MySQL server has gone away' and some other strange errors. There is nothing of relevance in MySQL's error log.
I have been working at this for hours and haven't made any progress. Can somebody help me out?

YouTube Ratings
|This article is not for dumping YouTube videos in, not at all.
You can help by not adding unnecessary videos or downvoting previous videos so they don't fit.
Want to rate videos for Youtube? Then take this handy test to work out what all those stars are for!
In a world where kids today see things in black and white, Democrat and Republican, Emo and Ganguro, Atheist and Christian, there are only two ratings people give, 1 and 5. But now you know how to rate, let's see what the ratings mean.
1 Star
A video receives 1 star when the peanut gallery particularly hates it. It could be a picture of a kitten being crushed, or a 12 year old whose parents just bought him an electric guitar murdering Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (PROTIP: It's not that hard to play). This is the most common rating for a video. These must be watched for their sheer comic value.
2 Stars
Your 2 star video is not completely awful, but bad enough for the majority of people to rate it 1 star. These may be terrible vlogs, attempts by old media to appeal to the younger generation, or something deeply unpopular, like Scientology, or a member of Anonymous doing what they do best - acting like a faggot. Avoid.
3 Stars
A video with 3 stars shows either an indifferent or polarized audience. Videos which elicit apathy are usually tl;dw vlogs or music videos by middle of the road rockers. Videos which polarize the audience include shit by atheists/christians, talking about Dawkins/God, and circle jerking their idol. To be avoided.
4 Stars
4 star videos are getting there, but lacking that certain something that pushes them to five stars. Usually contains a subject that everyone likes, such as tax refunds, kittens, decapitations and enemas. Don't know if want.
5 Stars
Lastly there are the five star videos. These videos are recognised to be epic in some way or another. You must watch every single one.

Cranachan is a delicious, easy Scottish dessert that's the perfect end to your Burns Night feast. With only 5 ingredients, it takes no time to make so you'll be enjoying it much more.
This post may contain affiliate links, where we earn from qualifying purchases. See more details in the policy page.
Unless you are Scottish, or know someone who is, I appreciate you probably don't have a clue what the title of this post means. Don't worry, I will explain all.
But if you want a short summary, cranachan is a delicious, easy and boozy dessert and it fits in perfectly as part of a Scottish feast that will probably involve whisky. Or just eat it any time. If that sounds good, as I hope it does, then keep reading!
What is Burns night?
If you're a regular reader, you may remember me mentioning Burns Night before. But in case not or if you need a reminder, it's a celebration of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns. While you may not know the name, you probably know things he wrote:
- Auld Lang Syne (as sung at New Year around the world);
- To a Mouse (if you don't know the poem, you probably still know the line, "the best laid plans of mice and men," thanks to another well-known book);
- My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose.
As a child growing up in Scotland, we had Burns recital contests in my elementary/primary school. I took part a number of years (and even won for my yeargroup once – I think I can still remember all the words of the poem I recited then!)
How is Burns Night celebrated?
While we didn't go all out, my family celebrated Burns Night in a small way by enjoying the traditional meal of haggis, neaps (turnips/swede/rutabaga) and tatties (potatoes).
If you go to a more formal Burns Night celebration, the haggis will be brought in to bagpipes playing and then Burns' poem "To a Haggis" recited as it is toasted and cut into. I'll admit I didn't always like haggis, but it grew on me and we even had haggis stuffed chicken as part of our wedding meal.
What to eat for a Burns night celebration
While as I say haggis is the most traditional main, you can vary things and have it more as a smaller appetizer portion, as I do with my simplified haggis (ie ingredients that may be less off-putting but tastes pretty close to the real thing).
If you want to avoid haggis altogether, though I would recommend trying it, there are a few great Scottish soups like Scotch broth, cullen skink and cock-a-leekie soup. You could then have my chicken with oatmeal stuffing and whisky sauce for main and this cranachan would make the perfect dessert.
Then if you still have space, a few oatcakes with cheese would be the perfect finale.
What is cranachan?
Cranachan is a very traditional Scottish dessert. It's made with oatmeal, raspberries, whisky, honey and cream, all products that are readily available and high quality in Scotland. Actually traditionally it's made partly with 'crowdie', a local cheese. Some people substitute quark, but using just cream gives a lighter dessert (and it's more readily available).
How to make cranachan
It's incredibly easy to make, as you simply:
- toast the oatmeal,
- whip the cream
- fold everything together.
Although in theory you can use regular oats, this should be made with what is often called pinhead oatmeal or Scottish oatmeal (steel cut is pretty much the same). It's worth using a fairly good whisky as you will taste it, but I'd suggest a more mellow one rather than smoky.
Cranachan is a lovely mix of flavors and while it's a natural ending to a Burns night celebration, it would be perfect anytime. In fact, since it uses raspberries it's more of a summer dessert really. But for me, I'd take any excuse, and Burns Night is a good one. Fresh sweet raspberries, smooth cream and that lovely flavor of the whisky coming through. It's a tasty dessert that deserves to be better known and enjoyed.
Try these other easy creamy desserts:
- Eton mess (made with cream, meringue and fruit)
- Apple panna cotta
- Creme Anglaise ('real' custard)
- Plus get more dessert recipes in the archives.
- 3 tbsp pinhead oatmeal 35g, also called steel cut, Irish oats
- 1/2 pint whipping cream 240ml, 1 cup
- 1 cup raspberries 125g plus a couple more to top
- 2 tbsp whisky
- 2 tbsp honey
- Lightly toast the oatmeal either in a dry skillet/frying pan or on a baking sheet/tray under a broiler/grill. It will take a few minutes, but you should start to smell it become a little nutty. Take care not to let it burn. Set aside to cool as you prepare the rest.
- Whip the cream to at least soft peak, if not a little firmer. Gently mash the raspberries - you don't want them completely pureed but at least letting some juice out and a bit broken.
- Fold the whisky and honey into the cream, ensuring well mixed but without making the cream too runny. Fold in the oatmeal, saving 1/2tbsp to top. Then fold in the raspberries and transfer to serving glasses/bowls.
- Note - some recipes will have you soak the oatmeal in half the whisky overnight. This will give it a softer texture and it will tend to taste more of whisky doing this. Prepare as you prefer - I prefer as above as it is lighter and has a nice texture (and is quicker!). You can also layer the cream and raspberries which will look a little prettier but it's more traditionally mixed and I prefer that way for eating.

Twinsie Tuesday... on Thursday
I don't really have a favourite colour, so any number of combinations would have done for this theme, but when it comes to polish, I definitely favour teals and bright greens. And I love both against black and white, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to try this fantastic neon grunge look by Kayla Shevonne, using China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise, Essie The More The Merrier, Bandi Snow White, and China Glaze Liquid Leather.
I'm not sure I got the distressed/grunge effect quite right, and the combination of large cuticle gap and dehydrated fingertips isn't doing the overall manicure any favours, but I do want to try this look again--and put together another teal/lime combination soon. I couldn't let this post slide, though, because I absolutely had to be sure to welcome our five new Twinsies to the group! Erin, Tiffany, Casey, Alaina, and Stephanie, I can't wait to get to know all of y'all better!

I hope your migraine has subsided and that you are feeling better! If it helps, I think your mani turned out beautifully and I love the color combination you chose :)ReplyDelete
can you just get some chicken stock? Or Bovril mixed with hot water? That helps me if chicken soup is not available! I think your mani turned out so beautifully! I adore teal!ReplyDelete
I hope you feel better. Migraines truly suck. This is beautiful and I love these colors together as well!ReplyDelete

Mains attraction: the new SayberX stroker
Posted: October 26, 2017
SayberX might sound like a PS4 game or a Netflix sci-fi series but it is actually a male sex simulator that is said to feel like real sex. Users can enjoy the device on their own or be stroked by anyone via the app or with the motion tracking ring from anywhere.
The soft, flesh-like inner chamber is said to stroke the user up-and-down automatically, and it features a custom made motor that is powered by the mains supply rather than batteries, so it isn't going to let its users down at a crucial point.
"SayberX feels great, is easy to handle, and is designed with style," said Eropartner Distribution, which is now stocking the product. "It doesn't look like a sex toy or anything else on the market."

Good morning everyone.
Towards the end of last year I bought myself the Marion Smith Bloom Impressions Tool and the Peony Petals Die from The Craft Barn. I enjoy making flowers and they are a versatile addition to a craft project. They also make great gifts for a crafter or scrapbooker.
Over the weekend and last night I had some time to practice so thought I'd share the process with you. I say practice because if there is one thing I have learned; it is that when you watch a video demonstration of a tool and see the fabulous results achieved and decide to invest in the tools. I can guarantee that most times you will be really disappointed in the results! It looks so easy in a video but what we forget is that that person is very experienced in using the tools and we are not. We have to begin at the beginning.....
So, here is the first batch of flowers made with the tool and Peony die (Looking very little like the flowers I saw in the video LOL)
Still, they do look like flowers and overall I think they are pretty usable.....
Here is my process and thoughts along the way
Now, what they don't tell you in the video is that if you have too much water on the petal when you take it out and lay it down it has a tendency to flatten out again. That is of course assuming that, with the pressure you use to twist the tool you don't rip your moist petal into shreds! So; you need to get a feel for how much water you need and how hard you need to press and that will vary according to the kind of card/paper you use. It will also only happen with practice LOL So persevere..... and in the end you should have a pile of usable petals.
There you have it, my first lot of flowers with the tool.
What do you think?
So, of you've looked at the tool and wondered if it is something you would find useful; perhaps this has given you more to think about. What I will say is that I think that shaping your petals makes all the difference to the finished flower and this tool (once you've got the hang of it) does help tremendously with that; so for me, it has been a worthwhile investment. Though I definitely need more practice!
(As this has turned into a mammoth post, I'll be back later this week to share the results of practice round 2; using the tool and a punched shape to create something totally different.)

Thanks Neil. There are so many products out there it's difficult to know where to spend the pennies. I like your first attempts and your mishaps were instructional as well as amusing, although probably not for you as you were experiencing LOL. Thanks for sharing. Hugz

The Use of Lines When Presenting Your Home for Sale
When you are presenting your home for sale you need to be aware of the elements of interior , one of these elements is 'Lines'. Lines are generally created by the shapes and objects, but can also be created by negative space.
You need to be aware of your use of lines as they are a very important factor in creating a mood and/or feeling in a room.
The purpose of lines in a room is: to create a feeling of movement of the eyes; give a sense of direction; drawing the attention of the viewer […]

Garage doors are not generally something you think about, that is, untill you come to replacing one. There are four main types of door, these include; ones that swing out, the ones that swing up into an overhead position, the ones that neatly roll up, or the grand ones that slide to one side. There are three common materials used in the production of garage doors, these are; wood, steel and aluminium.
Limited space
Your choice in garage door really depends on your situation, if you are limited on space, then an aluminium roll up door, or steel swing up door will be perfect. They take up little room and where the swing up doors are concerned, you can paint them any colour you wish … even pink … maybe not pink.
Ample space
The swing out garage doors are great if you have the space, they wouldn't take up half of the head room that the roll up or swing up doors would.
Make a Statement
If it's a statement that you're looking for then the grand, slide to the side garage doors are for you, these really make a great impression on a double garage.
Of course, this is a brief introduction to the different types of garage doors, for more in depth information you can visit:
The door you decide on depends on your prefernce and situation, it may not be the most exciting topic to research, but get to grips with the differnt designs; for those techies amoung you, you can even get nifty little remote controls for some doors. The possibilities are really endless.

I have had the pleasure of working with Terri in my role as Director Consultant for BNI San Diego for almost 5 years. She is a highly valued member of her BNI chapter by me and her chapter members for a number of reasons. First of all, she is a top-rate real estate professional and gets many testimonials regarding the high quality of her efforts and results. Second, she is the key reason her 'power team' is one of the most effective industry teams and has created strong relationships and passed considerable business to each other. Third, she is a strong leader. When she is on the leadership team, there is a strong adherence to the integrity of the BNI brand and her discipline and ability to create a strong, coherent leadership team creates higher levels of engagement and prosperity. A true professional and a pleasure and honor to work with – thank you Terri.

Terri is a fantastic realtor and an amazing person. She represents her clients the right way, and always has their best interests in mind. She is knowledgeable, professional and smart. Highly recommended.
Lorraine and Steve Hamann Nov 14th 2016
Terri Pontzious was professional and honest. She went on a walk through of our house prior to us making a final decision to sell and critiqued each room guiding us on what we needed to get our house ready to sell.
We followed her suggestions and in two months of non-stop de-cluttering, declared we were ready to sell!
Terri had a stager arrange our furniture, suggest items to remove and had a professional photographer take photos. The first day it went on the market we had people come by, the second and third day we had more folks - with an offer on the third day! She walked us through the offer and guided us on our decision to accept. It was a whirl-wind after that. Saturday was a house inspection and signing of papers.
It was a pleasure working with Terri and her experience in the housing market really came through. She knew the trends and prepared an extensive report on the area. She even calmed us down when we had a few glitches days before closing!
Charity Family Trust Nov. 21st 2016
Terri is an amazing agent. She is up on all aspects of selling a house in a Trust and was able to anticipate
possible issues we might face. Because of this, she was able to have solutions and options for us. Totally
patient and was willing to help us in all aspects of the sale. I would highly recommend her to anyone wishing
to sell a home and wanting an agent they can trust.
Terri is able to recommend contractors to help in all phases of the sale.

Even as I love the autumn season, it is full of anxiety for me (like every other season, come to think of it).
I start to mourn the ending of summer when I hear the cicadas grow louder the last two weeks of August and when I feel the crispness in the air at that time, which brings less sunlight and longer nights. Then the back-to-school craze: buying shoes, supplies, backpacks, etc. and trying to catch up on the homework we didn't do during June and July. By the time I make it to the parent-teacher conferences in early September, when I hear about all the things I'm supposed to be doing with the kids, I'm well into panic mode.
Yesterday my therapist and I talked about a few coping exercises to keep my anxiety from disabling me this time of year.

For every Art enthusiast Art Basel is undoubtedly the highlight of the year.
It is becoming more and more difficult for art dealers to find good artworks outside of the many public collections and to convince collectors, estates or artists to part with them.
We are therefore delighted to be able to present a cabinet exhibition around the theme of "Portrait". True to our specialisaton in works on paper, an exquisite group of Warhol drawings from the 1950s will completement a selection of 1970-80s works by Baselitz, Immendorff and Penck …
Penck was interested in portraiture as early as the 1960s when his friends and family became his subjects. We will show his 1974 painting of Johannes Gachnang, former director of the famous Kunsthalle in Bern and later publisher of many art books and catalogues raisonnés. He was a close friend and early supporter of Penck, giving him his first international museum exhibition at Kunsthalle Bern in 1975. This painting has never before been exhibited in public. This painting has been kept in a private collection since the 70s.
The painting "Fahne" (1980) by Jörg Immendorff reflects a similarly intense and friendly connection with Gachnang, since also Immendorff had his first international exhibition in Bern.
Another of our highlights is the complete sketch-pad (book) of portrait drawings made by Warhol in 1955, presumably at the "Serendipity Café" where he would meet with friends for drawing sessions. Only very few sketch‑pads survived intact, as Andy and later his estate would give or sell individual sheets from these pads. Here, in the "House of Hearts" we meet his friends face‑to‑face or even "au naturel" in Andy's fresh and fluid ink drawings.

iPhone 4 error 21 and will not start
Hello, i have a big head cracker, LOL
So I buy this iphone 4 as faulty, cheap... I knew the phone was stuck in in restore mode and I was thinking that all it needed was to plug and restore, nothing is easy in live, and this is no different.
So if I plug the phone to the wall or PC I get the apple logo on the screen, if the phone is not connected to wall or PC, the phone will not turn on nothing happens not even if I press the power and home button.
I now the battery is fully charged so it should power on, but it does not, only if connected to wall or PC. Is this normal? the phone doing this with error 21 the battery connector looks in good shape, and i tried the battery on other iphone and it works.
So when I connect to PC and try to restore I will get the error 21, so I Google a fix and do as instructed. I deleted a ETC file and a different error appear, all I needed to do was update itunes, so I try again to restore but error 21 comes up again With or without ETC file (file is in recycle bin).
I think the phone must have been jailbreak... But if anyone have any ideas please help... I afraid the logicboard might be busted, but the PC recognizes the phone and installs the divers needed... I just to novice at iphones :) i gess...
Thanks guys and sorry for the big love letter, LOL
I read in some forum about custom ipsw and TinyUmbrella but i have no idea how this will help, i tried redsn0w but it did not work i just tried the jailbreak option.
hi cesar how is your phone is fix?? let me know bcuz i have the same problem and i do not know what to do,
thank you
this link is for what happend to me after trying everything a could

It was a great honour to be chosen this year as one of Canada's top online influencers to participate in the Hidden Valley RanchTM Ranchify Recipe Challenge. This was the perfect excuse to get into the kitchen to do a bit of experimenting with the goal of creating a recipe to enter in the contest. This year's contest will be judged by Chef Ned Bell, of the Four Seasons YEW Restaurant in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Pictured are the Bacon Ranch Sliders submitted for my contest recipe. These little gems are delicious, packed full of flavour with just the right amount of heat. They are kicked up a notch from my contest creation stage recipe for bacon ranch sliders. These mini burgers were a lot of fun to create. They were declared a winner by my husband. The Bacon Ranch Sliders are easy to make so I hope your family enjoys them as much as I enjoyed creating them!
