This is delicious, light and refreshing. I encourage you to try it before the summer is over. I absolutely adore it when I go into the kitchen, no recipe in hand, and whip something together that's just so co-hesive and delectible. This Fish Taco Salad is just that.
I haven't had too many fish tacos in my day either, so whipping up the dressing was a bit foreign to me, but I was happy and surprised that I had so many appropriate ingredients on hand, ie, lime, clinatro and green onion. I was also happy to see a spicy taco seasoning packet in our cupboard (not ours though, our roommates, handy nonetheless). You don't need the shell when you've got cool red and green cabbage mixed with filling black beans and topped with a crusty fillet of cod that's been baked in a little flax oil. Yum, yum.
I'm going to miss summer, almost soley for the fact that our little outdoor fresh produce grocer closes in october after they sell their last batches of fruit and veggies, along with a large quantity of jack o' lantern pumpkins. Quality, inexpensive produce is nearly impossible to come by in the fall and winter months. I've still got a little while to enjoy the fruits of summers labor. . .
Recipe: Fish Taco Salad.
1 lb cod
1/2 cup italian bread seasoning
1/4 cup panko breading
few TBL. spicy taco seasoning
1 egg
1/2 green cabbage, shredded
1/2 red cabbage, shredded
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 TBL. flax oil (coldpressed) drizzled into your baking dish
Lime Cilantro Dressing (recipe to follow)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1. Place your egg into a shallow bowl and lightly break up with a fork or whisk.
2. Lightly season your fish with salt and pepper.
3. Place you bread crumbs, taco seasoning and panko onto a plate and mix lightly.
4. Dip your fish in egg wash, then roll in crumbs.
5. Prepare your shallow baking dish with flax oil.
6. Place fish into baking dish and bake in oven for 15 minutes or until fish is flaky and cooked through.
7. Place cabbage and beans into a large bowl.
8. Mix Lime Cilantro dressing into cabbage and bean bowl.
9. Top with a chunk fish and enjoy!
Lime Cilantro Dressing:
1/4 cup light mayo
1/4 cup light sour cream
(you may want to use a little less of each depending on the size of your cabbages)
zest and juice of 1 lime
3 TBL. chopped cilantro
2 small cloves of garlic
3 green onions, chopped
1. Mix all ingredients into a bowl. Enjoy on whatever you like.
(it's reallly delicious)

Without the Taco.
This is delicious, light and refreshing. I encourage you to try it before the summer is over. I absolutely adore it when I go into the kitchen, no recipe in hand, and whip something together that's just so co-hesive and delectible. This Fish Taco Salad is just that.
Pièce de résistance.
Alright, well, after much speculation and discussion with close friends and family (most of which who were lucky enough to try this cake) I've decided not to post the recipe. However, if you would like to email me I would probably be happy to share. You see, this cake is so good it just feels like it's one of those recipes I need to keep to myself, in case, someday I do open a little cakery or something like that. I wouldn't want my most prized cake out there for anyone to make for themselves, this said, I don't mind sharing with the few of you that might want to take the time to email me first.
To be honest with you, I'd give this cake a go on your own, with your very own favorite cake and cheesecake recipe. As you can visually see it's pretty darn straight forward. I encourage you to give it a try. All I did was use my favorite chocolate cake recipe (which makes two nine inch rounds) and my favorite cheesecake recipe without the crust (obviously). Then I layered them, chocolate, then cheesecake in the middle, then chocolate again. I smeared a bit of raspberry reduction between the top chocolate cake and cheesecake layer covered the entire thing in a gooey cream cheese frosting and topped all of it with a swirl of reduction which I ran a toothpick through to make a spider web design. The reduction ran down the sides of the extremely enormous cake.
It was such a hit. It fed about 20 people. The chocolate cake is moist, sweet, dark and delicious. The cheesecake smooth, and soft, and the raspberry reduction adds a little kick and gives the cake some extra definition. The flavors and textures in this cake really work well together. It's also a reallly impressive piece. People couldn't stop raving about how beautiful it was, or how delicious it was. I'm oh-so proud of myself. This truly was my pièce de résistance so far.
My grandmother would be proud.

Pink Frosting & Sprinkles.
I know I haven't been around much since my birthday, lifes just been kind of busy lately. And although I've been cooking up a storm still I just haven't found as much time to blog about it. Today is Kevin's birthday party and I've decided to make the most intenese cake I could think of, a devils food AND cheesecake cake, covered with cream cheese frosting and drizzled with a raspberry reduction sauce. I will take pictures and post the recipe I promise. I'm hoping it will be a hit! I'm trying to make a Juniors-esque cheesecake/cake combo. Flickr Juniors Devils Food if you don't know what I'm talking about. . .
In the meantime, enjoy the pink frosting and all those colorful little sprinkles.

I'm going to be frank. It's been about a month since I made these. I used a recipe I found on the food network site. The recipe was for Rock Shrimp Burgers with Wasabi Mayo. Sounds great right? Not so much. I hated them. The roomie and Lauren seemed to like my version and the Wasabi version. I hated the Wasabi burger. I really thought it was disgusting. This coming from a girl who LOVES wasabi, and fish. Maybe it's because the burger itself was missing any kind of asian flare. It was just literally egg, rockshrimp, salt and parsley. Fine, but not when your pairing it with wasabi. The flavor of the burger was more reminiscent of the Northwest (where I preside) and therefore in my opinion, should be paired with something that drew from the same flavor arena.
My solultion? Garlic, lemon mayo. Tomato. And slowly caramelized onion (if you know me, you know caramelized onions and I have a deep rooted love affair). I was very satisfied with my take on these burgers. I could've eaten a million. They're reach, and tasty and such wonderful little delights.
I will post the recipe for the burgers, and the garlic mayo. If you want to try your hand at the wasabi mayo I'll let you seek that out on your own. Just go to www.foodnetwork.com and recipe search Wasabi Rock Shrimp Burgers.
Happy flavor hunting!
Recipe: Garlic Mayo
1/4 cup mayo
4 garlic cloves (we like it really spicy here, less if you don't)
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
sprinkle of lemon zest
1. Mix all 4 ingredients in a little dish. Spread on all sorts of burgers, sandwiches, panninis (you get my drift).
Recipe: Rock Shrimp Burgers
1 pound rock shrimp
1 egg
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Hamburger buns, for serving
Tomato slices, or cherry tomato slices, for mini-burgers, for serving
1. Heat your grill.
2. Process half the shrimp with the egg.
3. Coarsely chop the remaining shrimp and put it into a bowl.
4. Add the processed shrimp and the parsley, bread crumbs, and salt and pepper to taste.
5. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and form them into patties.
6. Grill them on medium heat until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. (You can also fry them in a skillet with a little oil.)
Place on buns with your own fixins, and enjoy!
Another Salad.
So I've obviously been on a real salad kick lately. There are a few simple reasons for this.
1. It's summer, it's hot, and salads are quick, refreshing and filling.
2. I've been exercising a lot and salads are healthy, and generally contain a lot variety.
Okay so, that's only two reasons. I could come up with more, but I frankly don't want to.
I'm going to make this post short and sweet. I have a lot of other posts to catch up on and since this is a dish I pulled out of thin air (ie what I was craving on the specific night) the recipe will probably be fairly choppy but simple.
Recipe: Southwestern Salad
Serving: 2 to 4.
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 ripe avocado chopped into one inch peices
1 cup sweet cherry tomatoes cut in half
1/2 rotisserie chicken shredded
2 fresh white corns slathered in cilantro butter (recipe to follow) and barbequed
2 TBL cilantro
Sharp cheddar cut into little inch peices (use your own cheese discretion here)
A few TBL Jalepeno Gouda (not required, we had it on hand)
Recipe: Cilantro Butter
1. Put 2 TBL cilantro and 4 TBL butter with 1/2 tsp. cumin in a small dish and mix until well combined.
2. Rub all over your two corn on the cobs. Season with salt.
3. Barbeque on high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until well charred and flavorful.
4. Cut all corn kernels off the cob.
1. Put all of your ingredients into a bowl. Stir. Season with salt, pepper, even hot sauce. And enjoy!
(Sorry, I know the directions are kind of lame, it's easy though, promise).
Easy peasy.

Creamy Goodness.
I cannot describe my love for really good creme brulee. And luckily, it's really, really simple to make. Anyone can do it, if you can boil water, you can make creme brulee. I'm a true believer of this. Maybe I'm wrong, some may disagree with me. I know we covered a day of custards, including creme brulee, in culinary school. So maybe it's not as easy as boiling water, but close. The ingredient list is short, the steps, are also short. So what's not easy about it? And you'll have enough egg whites left over to whip up a few days worth of egg white omeletes for an easy, healthy morning breakfast (to make up for your very unhealthy indulgence of a dessert).
My suggestion; buy a bottle of champagne, make yourself some creme brulee, pop Amelie into the DVD player and cozy up on the sofa. This, my friends, is my idea of a perfect evening.
This is the perfect creme brulee recipe, it's creamy, smooth, sweet, has the perfect consistency and has the most intense (in a good way) vanilla flavor. You can never go wrong with an Alton Brown recipe.
Recipe: Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee (Courtesy Alton Brown)
1 quart heavy cream 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped 1 cup vanilla sugar, divided 6 large egg yolks 2 quarts hot water
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Place the cream, vanilla bean and its pulp into a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
3. Remove from the heat, cover and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
4. Remove the vanilla bean and reserve for another use.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and the egg yolks until well blended and it just starts to lighten in color. Add the cream a little at a time, stirring continually.
6. Pour the liquid into 6 (7 to 8-ounce) ramekins.
7. Place the ramekins into a large cake pan or roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8. Bake just until the creme brulee is set, but still trembling in the center, approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
9. Remove the ramekins from the roasting pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
10. Remove the creme brulee from the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes prior to browning the sugar on top.
11. Divide the remaining 1/2 cup vanilla sugar equally among the 6 dishes and spread evenly on top.
12. Using a torch, melt the sugar and form a crispy top. Allow the creme brulee to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Most of the vanilla bean will sink to the bottom, so you may end up licking the ramekins clean. I know I do!

An Autumn Salad. In the Heart of Summer.
I'm going to make this post quick and simple seeing as I already posted a recipe, and hope to post yet another this evening.
I made this salad mid-week after a long day, and a hard workout at the gym. It always lifts my spirits to work out really hard, and end the day by eating something amazingly delicious & healthy. This salad was perfect in achieving that feeling. Not only does it have protein (sharp cheddar, walnuts, and roast chicken) but it's got a huge serving of fruits (pear and apple) and veggies ( mixed wild greens and spinach) all topped with a sweet and tangy reduced apple cider vinagrette. All this, and it was fairly simple to throw together (picking up a roast chicken at the grocery store helped). It's also involved enough (picking the chicken off the bone, slicing the veggies, making the dressing) that I feel like I spent good quality time with the ingredients (cooking really relaxes my spirit). Plus, the cleanup was super easy, making my (finally) clean kitchen stay just that, clean.
Recipe: Autumn Salad
1/4 cup grated SHARP cheddar
1 apple sliced thinly (I used an organic Fuji, because they're generally really crisp)
1 pear sliced thinly
2 cups mixed greens (including spinach)
1/2 roasted chicken, plucked from the bones
4 TBLS roasted walnuts, chopped
1 cup apple cider/juice (use the good stuff people)
4 TBLS cider vinegar
2 tsp.
pepper to season
1. Pour apple cider/juice into pan and reduce down on medium heat whisking occasionally until it's about 1/4 cup of liquid.
2. Remove from heat and add olive oil and cider vinegar.
3. Season with pepper and whisk vigorously.
1. Throw all salad ingredients into a nice bowl.
2. Drizzle with your delicious vinagrette.
And viola. A healthy dinner for two.
As Seen on Tv.
So, a few weeks ago I was having dinner out at my mothers house, we were curled up in her bed eating nachos and watching the Food Network (what else?). Giada was on one of her tasty travels to New York. She sampled these delicate brightly colored watermelon and grape (or cherry, I'm not sure) tomatoes lightly seasoned with olive oil, balsamic, and a touch of s&p skewered. I'd never seen anything quite like it. Considering I've just began to warm up to watermelon, I was on the fence about what I was seeing on tv. My mother on the other hand seemed intrigued, seeing as she likes both ingredients I thought this recipe might really appeal to most people. As Giada put it "they're light and simple". They're also really bright, colorful, beautiful, and impressive looking.
Oddly enough, when Laurens birthday rolled around I had half a HUGE watermelon sitting in the fridge, and nothing to do with it. Seeing as really good organic sweet tomatoes are cheap this time of year, I figured I would go for it and try my hand at recreating what I'd seen on tv.
It was a success. They are light, refreshing, colorful, and simple with a nice flavor complexity. Sweet, savory, tangy, and even a bit bitter. Really good. Even for a girl on the fence about watermelon. An added bonus, they looked really stunning. All lined up like little soldiers on a rectangular white plate, they can't be missed, it looks like something right out of a fancy gourmet magazine. But it's so easy to pull together, and the perfect summer appie. OH, and did I mention, they're really REALLY healthy?! Score. For me this means what I don't eat in appetizer calories, I can make up for by drinking an extra glass (or two) of french wine.
Recipe: Tamelon Skewers (Tomato Melon Skewers)
1/2 cup cubed watermelon (about one inch cubes)
1/2 cup halved little sweet tomatoes
1 TBLS reduced balsamic
1 TBLS good olive oil
dash of sea salt
dash of pepper
1. Place a cube on watermelon on a toothpick.
2. Place a halved tomato (cut side up) on top of your cube of watermelon.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 until all watermelon and tomato are gone.
4. Assemble on a crisp white (or other cool) plate.
5. Drizzle evenly with olive oil and balsamic.
6. Season with s&p.
7. Eat.
I can't go on about these enough. I just loved how cool they looked, and cool they tasted. Ah.May.Zing. Yay for summer, and birthdays!

Now just figure it out... the human beings of karate past did it, no reason you cant. exactly. what you are doing is not new. next time someone asks your style, maybe answering "MMA" would make more sense. THEN you could say which forms are the basis for your fighting style. There was a guy on here before that had a name for his own style...he hand picked kata from here, technique from there, applied immagination and he came up with the "Raptor" style...apparently some of the basis was upon watching Jurasic Park.what I can't understand is how someone can feel qualified to come up with a fighting system, when they haven't even become proficient in an established one yet. In my opinion if MA is not your full-time career, don't attempt to re-invent the wheel until you have a wheel to work with.In any event, enjoy yourself.
Quote:ask yourself HOW THE HELL IS THIS A COMPELTE STYLE?!? ... Now just figure it out... the human beings of karate past did it, no reason you cant.
Quote:Sanchin, Opening in saifa kata. Right fist is vertical high hiki-teleft fist is clenching the right fist (sometimes also interpreted as open hand against the vertical fist). Moving slightly out of direction in semi long stance then turning 90 degrees to the left into musubi dachi pulling the right fist down to the left accompanied by left fist. This movement has to my knowledge no name and is used to break free from a grasping hand / deflecting a punch / locking or inflicting trauma on elbow-joint of an incoming attack.To further discuss your Motobu influence, do you incorporate ti into your applications of kata or do you stick to atemi-waza.
Quote:Sanchin, it is not a punch.Kata will never start with offense, always defense anticipating an attack. The opening will redirect opponents attacking force evading direct contact and redirecting through quarter turn (footwork) supported by the handwork to break free or to put a lock on the elbow joint. A tsuki would have a linear traject regarding footwork not a circular. The fist also stays in contact with your body.It is a pull not a punch and I have never seen it in trainig a basic technique.In view of beginner kata, talking about goju-ryu, before WWII sequence would be sanchin seyunchin sesan tensho as base to understand goju-ryu. I am always told that if you practise sanchin regulary the other kata will be easier to perform. Because it is such a harsh kata to learn, gekisai kata was added. To contribute to the learning curve, others have added takyoku / fukyu / kihon kata. The core of the goju-ryu system is sanchin - seyunchin - sesan - tensho.Sanchin, have fun at the Motobu siminar. Give an impression afterwards ?

The London Swing and Soul Band
Recent review: Daniel and his London Swing & Soul Band played at our wedding last August. We spent absolutely ages looking for the right band, and we were losing heart, until we saw this band in action. Simply awesome. The most amazing repertoire, which was great for us because our guests ranged from 4 to 84, and there was something for everyone, even traditional Jewish wedding dances (which we wanted even though our wedding was not religious in any way). Daniel supplied a jazz trio for the daytime (which was excellent), he played keyboard during the actual ceremony (and it was beautiful), then we opted for an 8 piece band for the reception, which was fabulous. So many of our guests commented afterwards about how much they loved our band. Three of our guests are professional musicians themselves, one teaches at the Royal Academy of Music, and one is musical director for the Ritz hotel in London, and they both said the band was fantastic. PLUS ours was a same-sex wedding, and it was important for us to feel comfortable with everyone involved. Daniel is really lovely, and it was a pleasure to have him be such a big part of our perfect day. Thanks Daniel and The London Swing & Soul Band - absolutely, unreservedly recommended, we could not possibly fault you in any way, Sarah & Sabina xx
Sound of the Suburb
Recent review: Having been an avid fan of rock n'roll music for three decades, it was essential that I found a really good band for our wedding. I reviewed over 100 bands over a period of several months and Sound of the Suburb were by far the best. These gentlemen love what they do and they do what they love exceedingly well. They are some of the most pleasant, accommodating, flexible and decent people I have dealt with. When it comes to detail, I make Meryl Streep in The Devil wears Prada look tame. Instead of being put off or irritated, these men relished the challenge of coming up with a play list that would meet my expectations and they did- in spades. Another major benefit is that as they have regular gigs, we were able to see them in action, which was very reassuring compared to trying to make up your mind based on a couple of wobbly videos, which our internet driven, gig economy world attempts to force us to do. The band members have a great deal of experience of such events and so was able to advise on what does and does not work. They visited the venue so we were confident we would not have any logistical issues. They have very good equipment (for which they may need set up time) and provided wireless mikes which were useful for the speeches & our open mike session and also took care of the recorded music between their sets. Most of all, they generate an energy and fun that was infectious. We had everyone from under 9 to over 90 years old on the dance floor, which revealed dancing talents of some guests even their spouses did not know they possessed. Our family and friends had a ball thanks to their efforts, which they do not spare any of to make the occasion memorable. I am, by my own admission, a difficult person to please as I demand quality and thoroughness. This band not just met but exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them unreservedly. Please treat them with the respect such good musicians deserve and they will go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful event.
The Lollipops
Recent review: they were brilliant loads of great comments at end of night. thank you so much for making our night even more special. Carol xxx
Back To The 80s

So Sinatra Tribute Singer
Recent review: We are back from our honeymoon and refreshed. I wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for your huge contribution in making our special day, just perfect! We had the best day of our lives and we feel it would not have been the same without you and your spectacular performances. I had high expectations of you, as we had heard you sing at Tony Romas in Kingston, but what you delivered on our wedding day was more than words can explain, amazing and perfect! The whole package was brilliant, your singing, your performance (my mum will never forget the special attention she received from you, it made her day too), the background music and the DJ service as well as being flexible when needed and in particular for my dad, who wanted a surprise second dance with me and made a special request which you so kindly adapted to. People never stopped talking about how great our entertainment was, at times they felt they were listening to a Frank Sinatra recording (until they spotted you standing outside) and the dance floor was never empty, apart from when the buffet food came out (obviously we had hungry guests). I will write on your website too, but just wanted you to know how you were worth every penny and I will be recommending you to everyone I can.

**DENVER, Colo. (June 22, 2012) - **With several successful M1 PowerSports karting challenges in the books and an unbelievable outcry of support from both fans and racers alike, M1 PowerSports is thrilled to announce the Test Fest Kart Challenge, one of the headlining events of the June 26-27 AMA Pro Test Fest at NOLA Motorsports Park.
Next Tuesday, June 26 at 7:30 p.m., select fans will have the chance to team up with, and battle against, some of the biggest names in motorcycle racing. The team-based race format will also feature a local mover-and-shaker from the media community and a pint-sized celebrity from the Roots of Music, the critically-acclaimed music education program for middle-school students in New Orleans that was recently tapped to play in the 2013 Rose Bowl parade.
"You never really know someone until you race them," said Cameron Gray, CEO of M1 PowerSports. "And this will give us all a great opportunity to truly get to know one another, the fans, the AMA Pro riders, the local media members and the extremely talented youngsters that make up the Roots of Music. Some of the most fun we've ever had has been on the kart track and I can't wait to get this tradition started up in New Orleans."
In order to be eligible to participate in the Test Fest Kart Challenge, fans just need to show up to the AMA Pro Test Fest Celebration Party, hosted by local motorcycle dealer The Transportation Revolution at their trackside Motorbike Speed Shop. The Test Fest Celebration Party will begin at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 26, closing out the first day of on-track practice by the AMA Pro Road Racing riders and teams. During the festivities, 14 lucky fans will be selected at random from those that are in attendance.
The race will be conducted in four five-lap heats, and each driver must complete one of the heat races. Rather than competing for overall finishing position, each driver's fastest lap time will be recorded and added to their teammates' fastest lap times. The team with the lowest cumulative lap time will win the event. The top three teams will receive trophies and the fan and Roots of Music member on the winning team will receive two (2) three-day ticket packages to the 2012 Triumph Big Kahuna New Orleans and a guaranteed slot in the next M1 PowerSports-promoted Kart Challenge held at NOLA Motorsports Park.

The wisp ship was a starship inhabited by non-corporeal beings who were described as "wisps" by the crew of Enterprise NX-01. Although the wisps who inhabited the ship were said to live in subspace, they relied on the ship so as to not be exposed to normal space, which they could not normally inhabit.
Design Edit
The ship had a forward, ovoid hatch that split into several pocketed sections; the surrounding hull formed a pronounced ventral "sill" with two projecting spines.
This ship was capable of traveling at speeds of up to at least warp 6, yet emitted no warp signature that Enterprise could detect. During Enterprise's encounter with the vessel, the crew of the former craft were unable to identify the composition of the wisp ship's hull, nor locate a transceiver. The ship was at least 500 meters wide, and had the ability to neutralize Enterprise's phase cannons and spatial torpedoes, and warp and impulse engines after it had taken the ship into its bay. Once inside, Enterprise's sensors were unable to penetrate the hull to determine whether or not they were still at warp.
The interior bay of the ship was blue in color, basically rectangular. The initial atmosphere was mostly helium and trace amounts of xenon.
History Edit
The wisp ship was encountered by Enterprise in 2152, approximately 150 light years from Earth. After several of Enterprise's crew were forcibly inhabited by the wisps, it was eventually determined that their ship was deteriorating, and they had no way to repair it. Since they couldn't survive in space, to save themselves, eighty-two of the hundreds aboard decided to make the "crossing," and take over the bodies of each of the crewmen on Enterprise, while the rest would try to find another vessel of corporeal beings.
Unfortunately for them, their plan failed, and Enterprise was able to release the possessed crew members before firing two spatial torpedoes into the opening of the wisps' ship. Consequently, the wisp vessel was destroyed, allowing Enterprise to escape. (ENT: "The Crossing")
Background informationEdit
In the final draft script of "The Crossing", the "giant" wisp ship was described thus; "The vessel is otherworldly, with a shape unlike any vessel we've seen." The opening in the craft was described as "a large, maw-like portal [...] on the forward hull." The inside of the craft, which was commonly referred to simply as "alien vessel", was described as a "dark, Giger-like interior," referencing artist H. R. Giger, and as a "vast, strange landscape." There were also intended to be "tiny nodules embedded in the ceiling" and a subsequent scene description commented, "The floor is neither level nor flat [...] [with] various structures [built into the floor]."
For this particular ship, the producers asked both John Eaves and Doug Drexler, unbeknownst to each other at the time, to come up with a design. Drexler on his design:
"The joke with this one is that all my files are labelled 'NBS'. That would be for the producers' request for something 'Never Before Seen'. I had to laugh right up front because I knew that that's really not what they wanted. Anything too different ran the risk of 'confusing the audience'. Since they asked, I'd start out at the far end of the weirdness scale. In the script, Enterprise is described as 'caught' by a very alien looking spacecraft. I visualized the Enterprise being attacked by an insect. I had once watched a spider jump on its prey and devour it, so that's what I was thinking. I had a CG parachute that I had modeled a while back. I applied distortion maps to it until I found a form that was sufficiently 'creepifying' and pleasing. There was no way that design would ever happen. I was asked to make more of a ship, and with a distinct maw... but... um... different. I kept it organic, but gave it a distinct metallic feel. Up front the ship extended enormous petals, like a sea anemone, to pull in its catch of the day. Well... they couldn't tell which direction this was meant to go, so it was no good either. I thought that usually the audience could tell what direction the ship went by the direction the ship was going? Maybe it was feared that you would think it was flying backwards. Hey! If you want something different, you have to buck the conventions. Either way, Thursday came every week, and I was having the best time! [The next one] was more of a ship with direction, but [...] word came down that the maw was getting lost (what about its paw?). Nothing gets thrown away, and I recycled this later as the Xindi Reptilian ship. Everything stripped away but the maw. These were sent to Eden. They may have gone with additional sketches by John, but I can't remember." [1](X)
John Eaves took another approach to the design:
"So anyway, the ship went through a few changes, and the first version has the Jem'Hadar cruiser's lines as the understudy and some heavy organicasizeing on top. I took the borgifying approach for the first pass. Rejected brutally. Ship two followed with a tendrilled beetle bug look... also rejected heavily. Which lead to version three which is a modified fish/doomsday machine combo!!! Again the big axe fell, and version #4 came to be... they sorta liked the underlying shape, and had me do a pass minus the tendrils and up the scale with the addition of more patterned detail, as opposed to total organic randomness. Thus the final drawing came to be, and they even drew a happy face with a little star on the corner of the page!!" [2]The producers chose the design John Eaves tendered in January 2003. At Eden FX, Dan Curry worked with modeler Pierre Drolet to finetune the design where it was converted into a CGI model. The interior of the wisp ship was modeled after a design of Drexler.

#1 Introducing the UJR - The United Jihadi Republic09-01-2012, 03:57 PM
By Michael Widlanski
Cairo and Damascus -- always at the heart of Arab politics -- are again starring in the real-life drama of Arab turmoil that the media's idiot-savants called the "Arab Spring." Somehow, the "Arab Spring" does not look so rosy.
Egypt may be the most important Islamic country, centrally located and equipped with thousands of advanced U.S. tanks and fighter jets. It is run by the extremist Muslim Brotherhood -- an organization that essentially fathered al-Qaeda.
Egypt's new leader, Muhammad Morsi, has decapitated the pro-U.S. heads of his army. He put large forces on his border with Israel, violating the treaty with Israel. Meanwhile, Egypt now flirts with Iran, catching Western intelligence flat-footed.
Syria, armed to the teeth with chemical and biological weapons, is splitting apart, and its weapons may fall into the hands Syria's branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and rogue elements tied to al-Qaeda.
For decades, Egypt and Syria led the Arab world to militant nationalism and war. Briefly, Egypt and Syria came under the pan-Arab umbrella of Egypt's Gamal Abdul-Nasser to produce "The UAR -- The United Arab Republic." Today, militant Islam unites them, and they might call themselves "The UJR -- The United Jihadi Republic."
Mass protest in Egypt and bloodshed in Syria did not bring the moderate democracy foreseen by Tom Friedman of The New York Times, Fareed Zakaria of CNN, or Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton of the USA.
Today, our "experts" and leaders have no answers, only pretense. President Obama and Secretary Clinton plan to meet Egypt's Morsi in New York, after he meets again with Iranian leaders. They have not condemned Egyptian treaty violations.
Gen. James Clapper, who directs U.S. intelligence agencies, called the Brotherhood a "moderate" and "secular" organization with "franchises" throughout the Mid-East -- a vision of a kind of Arab-Islamic McDonald's.
But the Muslim Brotherhood wants fast results, not fast food. Anyone who says the Brotherhood is moderate or non-violent is offering us a Whopper.
Officially, the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty still exists, but Egypt has just remilitarized the Sinai Peninsula, violating the treaty. Supposedly, the Egyptian army is fighting terror in Sinai and then will remove its massive forces and weaponry. Those are fond hopes. As the Arabs say, inshallah -- if God wills it.
Inside Egypt, the ancient Coptic Christian community faces tremendous violence. Scores of Copts have died, and thousands are fleeing the country. The U.S. is silent.
In Syria, the Brotherhood has not yet consolidated power. When it does, there may be a bloodbath beyond the 20,000 already killed. Over 300,000 refugees from Syria fled to nearby countries. Some flee what comes after the Assad regime.
Once again today, there is a certain ideological parallel in Egypt and Syria, because the Muslim Brotherhood is emerging as the main force in both countries.
That means that Israel's northern and southern neighbors will be ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood, the group that is the ideological father of al-Qaeda and Hamas. The Brotherhood was founded by Hassan Banna in Egypt in 1928, and it took its name from the dreaded Ikhwan -- the shock troops of the Wahhabi movement in Arabia.
Its express goal has not changed in 80 years -- to overthrow "corrupt" Arab regimes and to install Islamic law and practice as close as possible to the model of Muhammad ruling in Mecca and Medina (where no Jews or Christians are allowed to live).

These are very beginner questions. I just got an instance of VPS with no domain name yet. The only way I can access my VPS is through SSH to a static IP.
(1) How do I register a domain name and host it on my VPS? I know I can register a domain at some 3rd party registrar like GoDaddy, but how do I "host" that on my VPS?
(2) How do I set up an email server that send emails and receive emails through the domain I register? What software do I need and how should I config it?
Thanks a lot in advance

David Ortiz set to return to Red Sox on Friday vs. Royals
CLEVELAND -- Boston designated hitter David Ortiz is expected to return to the Red Sox lineup when they open a home series Friday against Kansas City.
Ortiz hasn't played this season because of an injured right Achilles, which limited him to 90 games in 2012. He began a rehabilitation assignment last week and went 4 for 20, including a home run on Thursday.
Boston manager John Farrell said all signs point to Ortiz being ready on Friday when the Red Sox play at Fenway Park for the first time since Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon.

LeBrun writes "So every two years you either have the best in the world playing in the Olympics or the World Cup. Playing it in February instead of September, like the old Canada Cups/World Cup, would bring more legitimacy to the event"
He adds that in World Cup seasons the All-Star game would be eliminated, like it is with the Olympics, but that in other years the All-Star game would take place in January
Canada won the last World Cup, in 2004, and the USA (with Brian Leetch and Mike Richter) won in 1996.
In October, Rory MacGregor wrote in the Globe and Mail that all the major players: NHL, NHLPA, Hockey Canada and the IIHF, have spoken about bringing the World Cup back. He says that it would be played in February and the games would be played in prime time.
He adds "A February tournament every fourth year, however, might prove wildly successful – just as Olympic hockey has since NHL players began to play at the 1998 Nagano Winter Games."
1/8/13: LeBrun writes at ESPN.com that with the 2014 games only 13 months away the NHL, NHLPA, IIHF and IOC will meet in the next month to decide whether NHL players will take part in the 2014 games.
LeBrun says that neither the NHL or NHLPA have been happy with the conditions they have had to deal with in past Olympics and conditions will need to improve if the players are going to return.
He adds that it is likely that the World Cup will return since there is support from the players and owners to bring it back.

If you think young people don't know how to manage money and pay down their credit cards, think again.
A new study from the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond shows young borrowers—those 18 to 25 years old—are among the least likely credit card users to have had a serious default on their card accounts.
They're also more likely to be good credit risks later in life.
"Young credit card users actually default less than middle-age borrowers," says Andra Ghent, assistant professor of the W. P. Carey School of Business. "Also, those who choose to get credit cards early in life are more likely to learn from any minor defaults and move on, avoiding major credit card problems in the future. Plus, they're more likely to be able to get a mortgage and become home owners at a young age."
The new research is now a Federal Reserve working paper. In it, the researchers analyzed consumer data from the New York Federal Reserve Bank Consumer Credit Panel/Equifax to determine whether young borrowers are worse credit risks than others, and to estimate the effect of individuals choosing to get a credit card at a young age.
The results demonstrate that part of the Credit Card Act of 2009 may not have been necessary. The act made it illegal to issue a credit card to individuals under 21 unless the person has a cosigner or submits financial information indicating an independent means of repaying the debt.
It also includes a provision banning companies from recruiting credit card users within 1,000 feet of any college campus or at college events.
"Letting students apply for credit cards may actually make sense," says Ghent. "These students are the people who want credit, need to build up a good credit history, and have a steeply sloped income profile. If they don't have a student loan, then a credit card may be the only way they can establish a decent credit history."
The researchers found that while people in their early 20s are more likely to experience minor delinquencies (30 or 60 days past due), they are much less likely to experience serious delinquency (90 days or more past due).
In fact, someone age 40 to 44 is 12 percentage points more likely to have a serious delinquency than a 19 year old.
"You can't learn by just watching credit card use," says Ghent. "You have to get a card, pay it down every 30 days, and experience in order to learn. It's also hard to get a mortgage if you can't get a credit card to build up your credit history."

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (Blugolds.com) – Teenie Lichtfuss (Fr.-Oshkosh, Wis./Lourdes) hit buzzer-beater to push the game into overtime, and the UW-Eau Claire women's basketball team went on to defeat UW-Platteville 62-57 on Ken Anderson Court in Zorn Arena tonight.
The Blugolds led almost the entire night but with seven minutes remaining in the second half, the Pioneers tied the game for the fourth time of the night (42-42) and led the rest of the way until the very end.
With the score 49-47 in favor of Platteville, Courtney Lewis (So.-Prairie Du Chien, Wis.) inbounded the ball for Eau Claire from center court with 1.3 seconds remaining. Lewis found Lichtfuss open a few feet from the basket, and Lichtfuss was able to drain the shot at the buzzer to push the game into overtime, the team's first overtime game since 2007.
In the extra session, Lichtfuss scored seven of the Blugolds' 13 points to help Eau Claire to the five-point win. Lichtfuss scored 11 points for the game.
Sarah Bingea (Sr.-Delano, Minn.) led the Blugolds with 15 points while Lewis added 13. Bingea also led Eau Claire with nine rebounds as the Blugolds out rebounded the Pioneers 47-44.
The Blugolds' bench was a big part of Eau Claire's win tonight as six non-starters combined to score 30 of the team's 62 points.
Eau Claire improves to 4-3 overall and 2-0 in the WIAC while Platteville drops to 2-6 on the season and 0-2 in conference play. The Blugolds are currently on a three-game winning streak while the Pioneers are on a five-game losing streak.
The Blugolds will now be on the road for seven straight games, next playing in Zorn on January 5. Eau Claire's next game will be played Saturday at UW-Whitewater beginning about 5 p.m.

I wish my wife was here! (on a trip to take care of my aging father-in-law)
She'd be rockin, to these grrrrreat oldies!
I'll just have to enjoy them and love her from here

Sat. 11/17/12 12:09pm
Hmmmm.. yes there is a bit of "jitter" but in light of the equipment situation Iwould say you are at 95%. I am listening iat 128K stream over a Motu 196hx AD thru a good pair of Tannoy monitors and the sound is "decent"
Sat. 11/17/12 12:10pm
Better than my spelling! But hey it is my day off...
Sat. 11/17/12 12:15pm
I was in the "In Crowd" till I got caught singing this song. Kicked out
Sat. 11/17/12 12:16pm
*I'm* just wondering why/how a link to all 43 minutes of the mid-70s solo album of Chris Squire (Yes bassist) would have ended up as an uppermost "maybe you'd like" link on the "beatles puppets" youtube page.... I guess it's just that some recent viewer was a Beatles-and-Yes fan, but I was really expecting a bunch of other Beatles-theme vids...
Sat. 11/17/12 12:18pm
Sean T.:
Wow, the Heads. Surprised!
Sat. 11/17/12 12:20pm
Roots Heads :)
Sat. 11/17/12 12:21pm
Sean T.:
Did you know they asked Adrian Belew to replace Byrne as the frontman for the band when things got tense. He declined. Would have been interesting though.
Sat. 11/17/12 12:21pm
Probably D Byrne's finest moment
Sat. 11/17/12 12:23pm
@ST: And that happened anyway. Crim!
Sat. 11/17/12 12:28pm
Sean T.:
G- I think it would have been very different than the Crismson sound with a Franz-Weymouth rhythm section versus Bruford-Levin. I suspect more dance oriented like Tom Tom (which he played on before falling out with those guys over Songwriting credits)
Sat. 11/17/12 12:29pm
True! But Belew did step in as a lead man for a troubled successful act!
Sat. 11/17/12 12:31pm
Just a heads up that our $400 donation was all the money that was raised the past two nights by sales of autographed posters by The dB's at their two shows here at the Hideout in Chicago!

Awesome Michael - Thanks!

In regards to the Dylan article, Mr. Roberts liked the show, though one of the fans comments had the words "iconic" and "Huey Lewis" in the same sentence. Nuff said.

Sat. 11/17/12 12:40pm
Thanks, Mr. Helpful. That was, uh, helpful :)
Sat. 11/17/12 12:43pm
this is the worst
Sat. 11/17/12 12:44pm
Michael Shelley:
What is the worst?
Sat. 11/17/12 12:46pm
paul2, what is the worst?
Sat. 11/17/12 12:47pm
Sean T.:
HAL re:Dylan I am no expert having been to 2 Dylan shows, most recently in 2000, but I though it was hysterical that one complaint was that he was changing the songs so they were not immediately recognizable. DUH! I am convinced not to spend any of my meager earnings on a Dylan show this time around, but the last thing I would expect is to see him perform one of his songs as I expect.
Sat. 11/17/12 12:50pm
Saw Dylan in the mid-90's and it was pretty bad.
Sat. 11/17/12 12:53pm
Sean T.:
paul The show I saw in 2000 in Brussels was great. He was dressed in black leather and was clearly channeling Elvis Presley in his treatment of his material. Unfortunately his guitar playing was already becoming minimized I think due to a medical issue like arthritis.
Sat. 11/17/12 12:54pm

Why Must There Always Be a Price Tag?
I've been waiting for the day that the town of North Beach sticks its greedy hand out to charge fun-loving people the privilege to run into the frigid Bay. Even though I have never (and will never) run into the cold water, I've enjoyed watching the antics of New Year's revelers plunging in for the fun of it. And that's the point: For the fun of it. Now it's for charity. Why can't something be done for fun? Why must there always be a price tag? I understand that it's for the Boys and Girls Club, but $25 to run into a mass of water that's for all of us to enjoy? Come on! I say everyone boycott the plunge until it is once again a fun, free-for-all. Emphasize the free.
–Allen Delaney, Prince Frederick
Editor's Note: Pay $25 only if you want a T-shirt and certificate. Don't want that, plunge for free.

Despite its worst sales year since 1982, those in the recreational-vehicle industry say they have reasons to be optimistic.
RV experts say 2009 will be remembered as the year the industry bottomed out during this recession, and they're looking forward to the recovery in 2010, according to South Bend (Ind.) Tribune).
The past two years have been brutal for the RV industry, which took hit after hit in 2008 as companies in the Elkhart area slashed thousands of jobs.
Elkhart County, where roughly 60% of the nation's RVs are made, saw unemployment shoot to nearly 19% in March.
Then in the summer the storm showed signs of breaking.
Dometic Inc. announced plans to hire 350 workers by 2012. Monaco RV LLC recalled 200 employees. Keystone RV Co. announced it was hiring 200 workers and ended up adding more than 300. Dutchmen Manufacturing Inc. announced it would add 50 jobs. Jayco Inc. recalled more than 200 workers.
Elkhart County's unemployment rate declined to 14.5% in November, when Heartland Recreational Vehicles LLC announced it would hire 400 workers. Keystone announced the following week that it was hiring another 100 people.
And those aren't inflated numbers, said Mark Bowersox, director of the Recreation Vehicle Indiana Council.
If anything, Bowersox said, they're low estimates.
"From what I'm being told, these (hiring) announcements are conservative," he said. "They want to make sure the orders they're getting now are sustainable before they continue to hire more and more of their work force back."
Discretionary, luxury purchases, such as RVs, are the first things people cut back on during a recession, Bowersox said. They're also the first things people start buying again after they feel more secure financially, he added.
One major concern that remains for the industry, Bowersox said, is whether the supply chain can keep up with growing production after the recession caused some companies to close and others to shrink.
He said many RV manufacturers are facing 10- to 12-week backlogs.
But "resiliency has been a hallmark of the RV industry," Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) President Richard Coon remarked in his address at the association's national trade show earlier this month in Louisville, Ky. "We have withstood trying, difficult times before."
High gas prices in the 1970s led RV shipments to fall 82% from 583,000 in 1972 to 107,000 in 1980.
From there, the industry grew steadily for 26 years, peaking at 390,000 shipments in 2006.
Annual shipments fell to 353,400 in 2007 and 237,000 in 2008.
They're expected to bottom out this year at 159,500, according to projections from industry expert Richard Curtin of the University of Michigan.
The encouraging trend in this year's numbers is RV shipments picked up in fall — usually a slow time in the industry — to post year-over-year sales increases in August, September and October.
Curtin predicts RV shipments will climb to 203,500 units in 2010.
And the increased shipments are not the result of government incentives, such as those that have boosted home and auto sales, noted Kyle Hannon, vice president of public policy and media relations for the Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce.
"This industry is truly responding to what people want," Hannon said.
Towable RVs are pulling the weight of the industry, as buyers look for models that are more fuel efficient and less expensive than motor homes, experts say.
This trend repeats the pattern of other post-recession rebounds in the RV industry, said Dorinda Heiden-Guss, president of the Economic Development Corp. of Elkhart County.
"Historically, the towables are the first to recover out of any recessionary period," she said.
Bowersox said motorhome sales composed nearly 40% of the RV market a few years ago. Now they account for around 10% of sales, he said.
The nation's demographics, with millions of Baby Boomers on the brink of retirement, also work in the industry's favor, said Bob Martin, executive vice president of Keystone RV in Goshen.
"Even when things were slow for us, campgrounds were still full," Martin said. "It's not a lifestyle that people just give up."
Baby Boomers are important to the industry, but they're not the only demographic buying RVs, Bowersox said.
"RV owners continue to get younger," he said. "It used to be a retiree pastime. Now it's a family with a couple of kids."

Grains finished mixed with corn and beans holding steady and wheat selling off. March corn finished 1 cent higher at $6.43, March beans up 1 ¾ cents at $12.17, and March beans down 11 ½ cents at $6.62 ¾.
Weekly Export Sales:
Corn 912,000 MTs for 2011/2012 (high end of estimates)
Soybeans 308,400 MTs for 2011/2012 (low end of estimates)
Wheat 518,900 MTs for 2011/2012 (as expected)
We have included our estimates for Supply and Demand for this year and next in the chart below. We used the 16 year trendline yields to fill in the estimates for production purposes. These came out to be 162.2 bpa for corn, 43.5 bpa for soybeans, and 44.9 bpa for wheat. Obviously we have had weather problems the last couple of years which has resulted in below trendline yields, but we can't rely on having weather problems this year to keep prices supported. This is one of the reasons we have used strategies to cover downside risk but still allow for upside potential.
