|Besiktas Milangaz took the EuroChallenge crown in 2012, their first ever international title
The EuroChallenge Regular Season gets under way on Tuesday and even before the opening game tips off there is already a marked difference with last season's première, a year ago.
The competition system is exactly the same. There are again 32 teams at the starting blocks, divided in eight groups, and there will be a Final Four to decide the champion, as tradition dictates.
Unlike in the previous season however, no team begins its EuroChallenge campaign with the mindset that anything less than bringing the trophy home in the end of the season will be a failure.
Last year, Besiktas Milangaz were seeking redemption after failing to qualify to the Eurocup and had the likes of US international Deron Williams in their starting five when they took to the floor in their opener at ZZ Leiden.
Even when the superstar returned to New Jersey after the end of the NBA lockout, there was little doubt around Europe as to which was the team to watch every Tuesday night.
If any side rises to this status in the 2012/13 season, it will be a badge of honour to be earned on the court week in, week out.
There is no shortage of teams that aspire to that and there are definitely plenty with the potential to achieve it.
This sense that everything is up for grabs, combined with the fact that no one has to play under the enormous weight of expectation that Besiktas dealt with, could mean that we're in for an exciting EuroChallenge season.
Let's see what's on offer on the opening day of the Regular Season:
Opening Day Preview Groups A - D

First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.

HTP (HTTP Time Protocol) is an alternative way of getting "good enough" synchronized time. htpdate will give you near-second accuracy.
It works where NTP/SNTP does not because of firewalls and proxies. Of course, if NTP/SNTP can be used, use that instead.
htp is not in Ubuntu!
OMG, you are a Gentoo junkie.
-funroll-loops-me-harder ;-)
ccache is a compiler cache, which speeds up your compiler on successive runs, because it caches intermediate compiled output.
I sometimes want to know what packages are installed on my Ubuntu system. I still haven't figured out how to use aptitude effectively, so this is the next best thing. This allows finding by name.
The grep '^ii' limits the display to only installed packages. If this is not specified, then it includes listing of non-installed packages as well.
Given a GNU Make file version 3.81 with the following entries:
.PHONY: runtest
runtest: $(ARCHNAME) $(TESTAUTOEXES)
@for i in $(TESTAUTOEXES) ; do \
echo ">>>> Running test harness $$i" ; \
env $(RUNTESTENV) $$i ; done
.PHONY: runtestsingle
runtestsingle: $(ARCHNAME)/test/auto_$(testsingle).exe $(ARCHNAME)
@for i in $< ; do \
echo ">>>> Running test harness $$i" ; \
env $(RUNTESTENV) $$i ; done
(ARCHNAME is something like ix86-linux-gnu)
Instead of typing gmake runtest to run all the tests, you can run one specific test with the example command.
The sample output is from compiling a C++ program using Boost::Test testing framework.
I can remember "cp -av" on Unix like systems to copy files and directories. The same can be done on Windows without extra software, somewhat.
The switches mean:
/E Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones.
Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
/H Copies hidden and system files also.
/Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
existing destination file.
/Z Copies networked files in restartable mode.
/I If destination does not exist and copying more than one file,
assumes that destination must be a directory.
/K Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only attributes.
/F Displays full source and destination file names while copying.
I don't type that all the time, I stick it into a file called "cpav.cmd" and run that.
echo xcopy /e/h/y /z/i /k /f %1 %2 > cpav.cmd
cpav zsh zsh2
dd for windows is available from http://www.chrysocome.net/dd
Tested with CD-ROMs like Linux install discs
I don't know about DVD-ROMs.
In the Windows cmd.exe window, you can change the directory using cd, but if you need to go to a directory on another drive, you need to type in the drive letter and colon first (e.g. d:). With the /d on cd, you don't need this intermediate step.
cd /?
Tested on Windows XP
Sometimes I want to use the mouse to move/copy/delete files.
(I also sometimes feel like a nut, sometimes I don't.)
This is for Windows 2000 and later, probably.
Tested on Windows XP, cmd.exe.
This works in bash and zsh.
You may also want to alias it, if you need to look at it often...
alias lpath="echo \$PATH | tr : \\\\n"
"\$PATH" to make sure to look at your current $PATH
On Windows 2000 or later, this command will give a listing of all the registered Windows services. You can then know what the name of a command is in order to start and stop it.
sc start Apache2.2
net start Apache2.2
Please note that sc will allow the SERVICE_NAME only, while net will allow both SERVICE_NAME and DISPLAY_NAME.
Note that the space between the = and the next word are important. Not very unixy, that.
This command will first add an alias known only to git, which will allow you to pull a remote and first-forward the current branch. However, if the remote/branch and your branch have diverged, it will stop before actually trying to merge the two, so you can back out the changes.
Tested on git 220.127.116.11, msysgit (Windows port)
Actually this is not really the way I want it. I want it to attempt a fast-foward, but not attempt to merge or change my working copy. Unfortunately git pull doesn't have that functionality (yet?).
On Windows 2000 or newer, you can use the command line to save the current network interface info.
You can then edit the text file and re-apply it using the netsh -f command (or netsh exec). Keep a bunch of text files around to quickly switch connection info without using extra software.

Muscular Strength and Rates of Death in Men 20-80
Cardiovascular fitness has been shown to be a powerful tool against many diseases including the number one killer in the US— heart disease . Strength training , while proven to have health benefits, is unproven in its effects to decrease death from all causes including heart disease and cancer. Researchers reviewed information that had been obtained during a study at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas. The study, published in the British Medical Journal , found that men with higher levels of strength had lower rates of death from all causes.
About the Study
The study was a prospective cohort study that followed 10,265 men for an average of 18.9 years. The men, 20-80 years of age, received comprehensive medical and fitness evaluations at the beginning of the study. Over the study time, they received periodic re-evaluations. Researchers tracked deaths from any causes, and carefully tracked deaths from heart disease.
After adjusting for known risk factors for cancer, heart disease, and death, the men with the lowest level of muscle strength had:
- 1.46 times greater risk for death
- 1.59 times greater risk of death from cardiovascular disease
- 1.24 times greater risk of death from cancer
Cardiovascular fitness did appear to have a stronger beneficial effect than strength training. The benefits of strength training carried across all age groups. It also appeared to provide benefits even if a participant was overweight or obese .
This type of study can allow confounding factors to affect the outcomes. Given the outcome, it does suggest that more controlled studies should be done to fully understand the benefits of strength training.
How Does This Affect You?
More rigorous studies need to be done to confirm these findings. However, it is widely accepted that overall physical fitness has multiple health benefits for people of any age. Given the high rates of overweight and obese people, it is also important to know that strength training provided protective benefits for people who were overweight or obese.
Talk to you doctor about your risk factors for heart disease and cancer. Introduce well-rounded physical activities that include cardiovascular and strength elements.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — It's the comparison to eight years ago that nags at some Republicans.
Then-U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum was deemed unworthy of re-election by 47 percent of voters surveyed in an independent poll 14 months before he lost to Bob Casey in a landslide that shook Pennsylvania politics.
Now many Republicans are watching with growing unease as Gov. Tom Corbett's poll numbers deteriorate. In late August — 14 months before voters decide on their next governor — the same pollster, Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, said 69 percent of registered voters did not believe Corbett deserves a second term.
It's led some GOP loyalists to question whether it's time to recruit another candidate to run in 2014.
Pennsylvania's Republican Party chairman, Rob Gleason, said he knows of no internal dissension over Corbett.
"Our party is united behind Tom Corbett, everybody is going to be working hard for Tom Corbett and Tom Corbett is going to be re-elected," Gleason said Friday.
John Brabender, a consultant to Corbett's re-election campaign, said party stalwarts ex-Gov. Tom Ridge, U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey and Santorum are supporting Corbett. Plus, polling numbers for Corbett will not matter until after voters know who his Democratic opponent will be, and Corbett's campaign begins spending money to sell his candidacy to the public, Brabender said.
And besides, Brabender said, politicians of all stripes are suffering because of the discord in Washington, D.C.
"Right now, there are a lot of generic numbers for candidates everywhere that aren't what they should be and, quite frankly, that's reflective of what's going on in Washington," Brabender said.
Since Corbett's first year in office, Republican lawmakers, party officials and political consultants have privately griped that he lacked the flair for building relationships or making a persuasive policy argument to the public.
Republicans note that it would be unprecedented in modern Pennsylvania politics for a party to abandon its governor. And strategists say a sitting governor tends to have a fundraising advantage over a challenger — perhaps one reason no Pennsylvania governor has been denied re-election since the state began allowing its chief executive to seek a second term in 1974.
Corbett's campaign is forcefully broadcasting the message that he's not stepping aside.
"The governor's going to run, he's going to win the nomination and we're going to win a tough re-election," campaign manager Mike Barley said.
Corbett has not officially declared his candidacy, despite having an active campaign organization and an aggressive fundraising operation. No Republican has declared an intention to run against him.
Montgomery County Commissioner Bruce Castor, who briefly flirted with a challenge earlier this year, said there continues to be discussion among party members about mounting a primary challenge to Corbett.
"But it's going absolutely nowhere because anybody who potentially would be a candidate does not want to run into the financial buzz-saw that they would run into in a primary against Tom Corbett," Castor said.
Delaware County's Republican Party chairman, Andrew Reilly, said he has been on the receiving end of concerned phone calls. But he said that concern revolves around the governor's message of accomplishment being drowned out by Democratic Party-driven uproar over "poorly drawn analogies" — a reference to Corbett's recent statement on same-sex marriage, singled out by Democrats as offensive.
"It's more frustration. It's not discussion based on the governor's performance," Reilly said. "It's based on, 'Hey, we're really not getting our message out.'"
Next year is a particularly sensitive one for Republicans should Corbett, their top-of-the-ticket candidate, fare poorly: Six of seven GOP-held state Senate seats in the closely divided Philadelphia suburbs are up for re-election, and losses of two seats could leave the 50-member chamber deadlocked.
A worrisome scenario for Republicans is one where Democratic challengers attack Republican senators as enablers of Corbett, and the incumbents respond by refusing to defend him.
Republican strategists point out that incumbent lawmakers have a heavy advantage and have long survived in overwhelming numbers all sorts of toxic forces, including the national wave elections of 2008 and 2010. The last time a state Senate incumbent lost was in 2004.
In any case, Corbett's supporters argue that he can win in tough conditions — he won a second term for state attorney general during a Democratic wave in 2008 — and that his strong performance in 2010 helped elevate Toomey to U.S. Senate.
"I think people in politics today, we jump too quickly and don't take a long measured view of history," Reilly said. "Generally, candidates perform based on past history, and (Corbett's) history is excellent."

Diagnosis of Allergic Rhinitis
Your doctor or allergist will begin by taking a detailed medical history. This will include questions about your lifestyle, eating habits, family and medical history, and medication use. A physical exam will be done. The inside of your nose will be checked for signs of inflammation.
Testing for allergic rhinitis may include:
- Skin test—Skin testing is one of the easiest, most sensitive, and least expensive ways to determine what allergen might be causing allergic rhinitis. A tiny allergen particle is placed under the skin with a needle. An allergic response is confirmed if the skin becomes raised, red, and itchy within 20 minutes.
- RAST blood test—A blood sample will be taken to determine the level of antibody production in your body. This test is used to detect levels of immunoglobulin in response to a specific allergen. Blood tests are only used when skin tests are not available, unsafe, or will not work, such as in cases of certain skin conditions like severe eczema or certain medication use.
- Nasal smear—A sample of your nasal secretions may be taken and examined to identify the cause of the rhinitis.
- Nasal endoscopy—A tiny fiberoptic camera may be used to view more deeply inside your nose. This is usually done to see if the sinuses are involved in your condition.

Derrick is a simple tool for recording data streams of TCP and UDP traffic. It shares similarities with other network recorders, such as tcpflow and wireshark, though it is more advanced than the first and clearly inferior to the latter. It has been specifically designed to monitor application-layer communication. In contrast to other tools, the application data is logged in a line-based ASCII format. Common Unix tools, such as grep, sed, and awk, can be directly applied. Even replay of recorded communication is straightforward using netcat. Derrick supports on-the-fly compression and rotation of log files.

The last time a British man won at Wimbledon before Sunday afternoon, Neville Chamberlain hadn't even appeased anyone yet. Andy Murray played excellent tennis between bouts of whining over the last two weeks to finally bring that streak to an end in a championship win over Novak Djokovic, becoming the first British player in 77 years to hoist the trophy over his head. It was one of the most notable droughts in sports, but it has plenty of company. Here's a look at some of the others, which may or may not be at risk of being snapped any time soon. ALL SPORTS Cleveland (1964) — The sporting woes of Cleveland are well-documented at this point. The trouble for residents is there is no immediate end in sight. The Indians are 2.5 games out of first place as well as a wild card spot, but fans remain so cynical about the possibility of this meaning anything that the Tribe ranks 27th in the majors in attendance at 18,975 fans per game. Even Seattle is doing better! The Cavaliers are building a solid young base around new star Kyrie Irving, but are still a few pieces and years away from returning to contender status following the defection of LeBron James. The Browns? In a word, woof. Their new owner is still under investigation by the Feds for fraud, and very little has worked out since their return to the NFL in 1999. Things are so bad that their stretch of losing three AFC Championship Games to the Broncos in four years from 1986-89 seems un-depressing. (The best kicker about that stretch? The one AFC title game the Browns didn't play in was won by in-state rival Cincinnati). NFL Detroit Lions (1957) — The Lions remain the only franchise other than the Browns that has not reached a Super Bowl despite being around when the first one was played. While the Cardinals have gone longer without winning a championship, they at least deserve a little credit for playing for one since the advent of civil rights. Plus, they've spread their misery over three different cities — Chicago, St. Louis and Phoenix(ish). Lions fans have been through this thing for the long haul. Detroit's current core of players is certainly strong enough to go all the way, but it will probably require a coach more capable of running a tight ship than Jim Schwartz to make that leap. NBA Sacramento Kings (1951) — The most well-traveled franchise in NBA history is also the thirstiest. The Kings have not worn the crown since winning the 1951 title as the Rochester Royals. To give you an idea of how long ago this was, Rochester, N.Y. was in the NBA's Western Division at the time. This drought has no immediate end in sight, but right now fans in Sacramento are just pleased to still have a team at all. NHL Ottawa Senators (1927) – OK, so there is a slight gap between 1935 and 1992 where Ottawa didn't field an NHL team. But since Ottawa chooses to hang the banners from the 11 Cups won by the original Sens from 1903-1927, they also get full credit for the ensuing drought. (Hey, Maple Leafs fans need something). The original Senators beat some impressively named competition to win those Cups, including the Rat Portage Thistles, Winnipeg Rowing Club, Toronto Marlboros, Brandon Wheat Cities and Dawson City Nuggets. The current version made its only Finals appearance in 2007, falling to Anaheim in 5 games. No Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup since Montreal in 1993, which has become a drought worth monitoring in and of itself. MLB Chicago Cubs (1908/1945) — The Cubs are the longest to go without winning a World Series and without playing in a World Series. That's all I've got to say about that. COLLEGE BASKETBALL Northwestern in the NCAA Tournament (Never) — The NCAA's have been played every year since 1939, and Northwestern has yet to participate in the event despite fielding a team every one of those years. Bill Carmody at least built the program up to the point where NIT appearances can be expected in Evanston, and now new coach Chris Collins figures to bring the Wildcats over the hump after learning at the side of Coach K at Duke. Expect this drought to be history in three years, tops. COLLEGE FOOTBALL New Mexico State bowl appearance (1960) — Andy Murray isn't the only one to snap a long drought this year. Northwestern football, which hadn't won a bowl game since 1947, brought that streak to an end with a win over Mississippi State in this year's Gator Bowl. That leaves college football's title of "most futile feat" to the Aggies of New Mexico State, who have not reached a bowl game in any form since 1960. Las Cruces will continue to be the place where dreams go to die this season as the Aggies will play without conference affiliation due to the dissolution of the WAC. New Mexico State moves to the Sun Belt in 2014, where the journey to relevance might not continue in vain. GOLF An amateur major champion (1933) — It's one of the few streaks to surpass the gap between Fred Perry and Andy Murray. Johnny Goodman, an insurance salesman in the offseason, is the last amateur player to capture a major championship, winning the 1933 U.S. Open. With players going pro at younger ages in the modern era — with the money now available, who wouldn't make that choice? — it seems increasingly unlikely that another golfer will be joining Goodman in a truly elite club.

Tiny edition CDR release of this fascinating work which takes a recording of the first, controversial, Paris performance of Varese�s D�serts, replete with audience heckles and shouting, and cuts chunks of it out - retaining all the sections in which the audience expresses itself� it�s impossible to make this sound interesting in words, but when you listen, it�s a great piece that works, especially in repeated listenings� or just if you have it on and let it interrupt you now and then. Fits no category. Call it Art. Very few copies. L

In the name of the cookie
The festivities began with a dinner at Frankies Spuntino that made me want to strap on an extra stomach for the evening. Alas, single-stomached creature that I am, I had no choice but to leave several lonely bites of gnocchi marinara and fresh ricotta slumping sadly on my plate. The wedding itself was the next day, at The Bell House, a 1920s warehouse that was converted into a performance venue a couple of years back. It's a warm and welcoming space, dimly lit by crystal chandeliers that hang from wooden beams. Katie and her husband, Kit, who both work in theatre –that's how they met– were married up on stage, under the glow of stage lights and paper lanterns. It was elegant and intimate, glamorous and simple at the same time.
A few months back, Katie asked me to bake for the reception. Obviously, I agreed. I flitted between cookbooks and paged through my recipe file, but nothing seemed quite right. I went from toffee, to almond tarts, to molasses cookies when, finally, about two weeks before the wedding, my genius of a step-mom, Amy, solved it. Our phone conversation went something like this:
Me: …and so noooow, I think I'm going to make those gingery molasses cookies. Katie likes the flavors; they'll taste like fall. Plus, they travel well.
Amy: Sounds good. But have you thought about making those Mexican wedding cakes?
Me: [silence.] Oh my gosh, that's brilliant. You're brilliant. HOW did you think of that?
Amy: Uh, well, there is that word "wedding" in the name of the cookie…
Sometimes I am not very smart.
I ate my first Mexican wedding cake five years ago, not long after Eli and I were married. (Five years ago. Five years! As of yesterday, that's how long we've been married. I'll take another five now, please. And then another. And another, yep, and another, yes, yes. Until forever, please. Amen.) Amy made these cakes which, as you can see, are actually cookies, for a post-wedding party that she and my dad threw for us back in Ohio. I remember holding one between my index finger and thumb, tilting my head forward to keep from dusting my new satin blouse with powdered sugar, and cupping my other hand beneath the cookie to protect the floor. I was expecting something like a doughnut hole, cakey and soft (there is that word "cake" in the name of the cookie), but what I got was much better.
Mexican wedding cakes are made from an eggless, butter-rich dough, splashed with vanilla and speckled with toasted ground pecans. Genealogically speaking, they're a relative of the shortbread cookie. But while most shortbread is dense and hard by design, Mexican wedding cakes are anything but. Smooth and tight on the outside, tender and loose within, they're like tiny bombs of sandy, nut-flecked crumbs that half explode, half melt in your mouth. Instantly smitten, I scored the recipe from Amy, and made them a few weeks later for our first Chanukah party in our new home. Given that they've made an appearance every year since, and that they are, I think, my most-requested cookie recipe, it's hard to believe that it has taken me so long to deposit them here. Thanks for the nudge, Katie and Kit, and for a beautiful and inspiring wedding weekend.
I'd like to end today with the poem by James Kavanaugh that Katie asked me to read during the ceremony. May we all get to live in this kind of love.
To Love is Not to Possess
To love is not to possess,
To own or imprison,
Nor to lose one's self in another.
Love is to join and separate,
To walk alone and together,
To find a laughing freedom
That lonely isolation does not permit.
It is finally to be able
To be who we really are
No longer clinging in childish dependency
Nor docilely living separate lives in silence,
It is to be perfectly one's self
And perfectly join in permanent commitment
To another—and to one's inner self.
Love only endures when it moves like waves,
Receding and returning gently or passionately,
Or moving lovingly like the tide
In the moon's own predictable harmony,
Because finally, despite a child's scars
Or an adult's deepest wounds,
They are openly free to be
Who they really are—and always secretly were,
In the very true core of their being
Where true and lasting love can alone abide.
Mexican Wedding Cakes
Adapted from Bon Appétit, May 2003
For the dough:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tsps. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 cup pecans, toasted, coarsely ground
For the sugar coating:
1½ cups powdered sugar
¼ tsp. cinnamon
Beat the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the ½ cup powdered sugar and vanilla, and blend well. Beat in the flour, and then the toasted, ground pecans. Divide the dough in half, form each half into a ball, and wrap separately in plastic. Chill for at least 30 minutes, or overnight. (If you chill the dough overnight, you'll need to let it soften on the counter for 20 to 30 minutes before you scoop it. Don't let it get too warm; it should be scoopable, but still cold.)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together the 1½ cups powdered sugar and cinnamon in a pie dish or a large bowl, and set aside.
Remove half of the chilled dough from the fridge and, using one level tablespoonful of dough for each cookie, roll into balls between the palms of your hands. Arrange the dough balls about half an inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 15-17 minutes, until the cookies flush a shade darker on top, and are golden brown on the bottom. Cool the cookies for about five minutes on the baking sheet, and then gently toss them in the cinnamon sugar. Transfer the coated cookies to a rack and cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Hold onto any leftover cinnamon sugar for quick touch-ups before serving.
Store these cookies at room temperature in an airtight container, and they'll keep well for several days. Possibly up to a week, though I've never seen them last that long.
Yield: About 40 cookies.

Hello, cookie lovers and shoe admirers!
I'm so glad you liked that poem, Jacqui. I've been thinking about you and Murdo, and I hope that your first weeks of marriage have been wonderful. Want to know a secret? It just gets better and better.
Thank you, Linda. Funny you should mention those party maps. I was just saying to Eli that I think our Chanukah party menu is due for an overhaul this year. Hmmmm, what to bake, what to bake...?
Me too, Char.
A Plum By Any Other Name - Yes! Aren't those shoes fabulous? She has such great taste.
Ooo, Heather, do tell. What have you decided?
She does, Adrienne. And thank you!
Thanks, Anali.

Jess. I didn't know what to call these small pieces of heaven until your chanukah party last year. But every time they used to appear in our house, my mom had to come up with sneaky ways of keeping me from eating them all by myself.
Also, this post is my favorite. I feel all mushy gushy inside. Weddings and poetry and pretty pictures. Wow.

I bet that a wedding is at once the most stressful and the most rewarding event to bake for. But what a perfect way to honor your cousin and her new husband -- through cookies! I love it. :)
- November 2, 2010 at 2:12 PM
- Jess said...
Thanks, Anya. It was a beautiful weekend, and it was my pleasure to get a little bit of it down here.
Julie, yes! That place rocked my world. Congratulations on 24 years. Keep counting!
Thanks, Amy. Ah yes, good old "love heaven." (That made me laugh out loud.) Love you.
Hi there, Miss Lisa! I love that you love these. And do you know what? The ones at the party last year were actually vegan, made with Earth Balance Buttery Sticks. I don't like them very much this way (which is why I didn't mention it in this post), but my vegan friends and family members are crazy for them -- and I guess non-vegans like you are, too! But seriously, I need to make you a batch with butter. You will melt. You're feeling "mushy gushy" inside, you say? Must be all of that soup you've been eating lately. (wink.)
Hi, Maddie. Since they were cookies, and not actual cakes, it was pretty stress-free! Some other people baked, too. There were brownies, macaroons, salted chocolate caramels, and apple pie. It was awesome.

I'm going to make these cookies on Thursday for a baby shower!!! I have always liked them but never baked them myself. Thank you for giving us the recipe! I'll let you know how mine turn out.
- November 2, 2010 at 3:54 PM
- Jess said...
Hi, Kim. I love the idea of making these for a baby shower. They're so small and soft and round, just like the little bite your friend is expecting, some might say! Do report back, if you think of it. Happy baking!
- November 2, 2010 at 4:04 PM
- squirrelbread said...
It was a flourless chocolate cake we each made while living on opposite sides of the country before ever meeting face to face. Our first cake 'together,' as corny as that may sound! We plan to make twenty-some for the wedding next Autumn. Fingers crossed.

I absolutely love Katie's red shoes peeking out from under her gown. That's a great photo.
Also, happy anniversary.

Oh my gah, that poem!! (I may have to steal it for, ahem, you know...next year.)
- November 3, 2010 at 7:48 AM
- Jess said...
How perfect, Heather! I was doing some writing about salad last night, and I remembered that Eli and I actually had a salad, as in "our salad," when we were first dating. So no, having a "first cake" together - far more normal than having a salad, I think! - doesn't sound corny to me at all. It sounds dreamy.
Redmenace - Those are the very things that I enjoy about these cookies, too.
Hey, Rogue Unicorn. In the weeks leading up to her wedding, Katie and I were talking about how amazing it is that we're IN THE SAME FAMILY. Technically, Katie is my step-cousin. Her mother married my uncle when Katie and I (we're just two days apart in age!) were eight years old, and we hit it off right away. She is one of the most inspiring people I know in all kinds of ways. I'm really so grateful for her. (And thanks for the anniversary wishes. xo.)
Oh, Luisa! What can I say? "Love is to join and separate / To walk alone and together / To find a laughing freedom That lonely isolation does not permit / ... Love only endures when it moves like waves / Receding and returning gently or passionately / Or moving lovingly like the tide / In the moon's own predictable harmony" It really is perfect, isn't it? xoxo!!

I think that poem is one of the best things I've read in a long, long time. It is so spot-on, so perfect. I think I've found that kind of love, and I thank my lucky stars for it.
Oh, and I'd like a cookie, please. (Of course!)
- November 3, 2010 at 7:33 PM
- Beth said...
They sound sensational. Your cousin is very lucky!
- November 4, 2010 at 8:25 PM
- Jess said...
I'm so happy to hear it, Rosiecat. There's nothing better than that kind of love. Well, except for that kind of love plus a cookie, of course.
Thanks, Beth. (I'm pretty sure I'm the lucky one.)

First, what an amazing photo with the red shoes! Fabulous. Second, I love mexican wedding cookies and am always shocked when I make them how something with such simple (and few) ingredients comes together with such magic. Sounds like a lovely wedding (and I've always liked that poem).

Hey Jess,
First, I know I'm incredibly late, but congratulations! I love how you announced your anniversary to us. I only hope I'll be able to say something like that myself, one day. You both are an inspiration.
As soon as I read your post and saw your photographs, I knew I had to try these cookies out. I did, and the house is smelling of cinnamon and my last batch is in the oven. These cookies are magical! I must admit, when I read your words, I wondered how crumbly and sandy could ever be better than soft and cakey. Now I know and I'm a convert.
My dog (who has great discretion in matters of taste, honest) has spent the past hour sitting hopefully at the kitchen entrance, watching my every move acutely. I gave in and fed him a cookie and I swear, he swooned for a second.
I substituted for pecans with walnuts; pecans are in short supply in Delhi. I also used salted butter instead of unsalted, because that was what I had on hand. I have scant experience of pecans, but I can vouch for walnuts. Once toasted, they gave off a gloriously nutty smell. I didn't add the vanilla, because I felt it would compete with the nuts. The cookies turned out incredible. I think the salt in the butter gave an added bit of complexity, but I could be wrong... guess I'll have to try them again to be sure!
I rolled my cookies slightly smaller than yours and found I made 53. I've baked most of them to choir practice tomorrow, where I don't doubt they will disappear very quickly. I've also stored about ten balls in the freezer, in anticipation of cookie cravings. I love that since these cookies don't have any sort of leavening agent, the dough keeps frozen for ages.
Thanks so much for sharing.

- Nithya said...
Also, Jess, I blogged about the cookies here: http://nithya13.blogspot.com/2010/12/first-of-many.html
citing you as my inspiration. I thought perhaps you'd like to read about them. I've been asked for the recipe half a dozen times already. Thanks so much!

I know I should be commenting on your food.
I've been caught up in your writing as I go
from post to post.
James Kavanaugh.
Funny some weeks ago I wrote about love, it not
being a possession.
His books kept me company for years.
I don't remember ever reading this one,
and now I am going to have to go "the closet"
and look through every book to find the poem
I somehow missed.
your writing is good Jess.
It's deliberate. It pulls one in.
who knew doing a search for broccoli salad would have me remembering JK.
thank you.

Summary of the Novel
Tom Joad, a prison parolee, meets Jim Casy, a preacher who has given up his calling. They go to Tom's home looking for his family, but the Joad farm and all those around it are deserted. They are told the Joads are living with Tom's Uncle John. Arriving at Uncle John's house, they learn the family has lost their farm and are making preparations to sell their belongings and move to California in search of promised work.
With Casy accompanying them, the Joads encounter many hardships on the road west, and the family crumbles. Grampa dies the first night he is separated from his beloved land. Granma dies while they are crossing the Arizona desert. Noah and Connie give up and leave the family. The further west they go, the more resistant and unfriendly the people are.
In California the family goes from camp to camp in a futile search for work and their living conditions worsen. Jim Casy organizes a strike against the unfair low wages being paid and is killed. Tom kills Jim's murderer and goes into hiding. He leaves the family to continue Casy's work. The Joads move to a cottonfield where the pay is better.
Rose of Sharon delivers a stillborn baby during a fearful storm. The family has to abandon their boxcar home to escape the resultant flood. Taking refuge in a hillside barn, they discover a young boy and his near-dead, starving father who is saved when Rose feeds him from her milk-filled breasts.

|French legend Céline Dumerc was influential in taking Bourges Basket to their 12th French championship
There was silverware handed out right across Europe in a decisive weekend of action.
Despite only managing to come second during the regular season and trailing 1-0 in the Finals after a home loss to Basket Lattes Montpellier Agglomeration, Bourges Basket showed their quality by bouncing back with two road wins to land Championship number twelve.
They won the decisive game 64-56 and fittingly, it was French national team trio Endene Miyem, Celine Dumerc and Emmeline Ndongue who starred in the victory.
They combined for 39 points to make it a night to forget for the home side, although they at least had the consolation of winning a league and cup double during the regular season.
UMMC Ekaterinburg completed a clean sweep in Russia as they added to their Cup, regular season title and EuroLeague Women trophies by routing Sparta&K M.R Vidnoje 84-68 on the road, to complete a 3-0 series sweep against their arch rivals and take the Championship.
French frontcourt ace Sandrine Gruda celebrated recently penning an extension to her deal in Ekaterinburg by scoring a game-high 23 points for the winning side.
Russian duo Marina Kuzina and Natalia Vieru finished their season with a loss, but an impressive dual haul of 29 points for the hosts will be a boost for Russian national team play-caller Alfredas Vainauskas.
However, the coach ended his own club season with a real stomach churner as Dynamo Kursk lost 88-82 in overtime to Nadezhda, the team of his close friend, fellow Lithuanian and former boss, Algirdas Paulauskas.
At least naturalised Russian guard Epiphanny Prince showed how much of an offensive threat she might at EuroBasket Women this year with a mammoth 34 points for Kursk, as well as making the Russian League Team of the Season.
Although on a mixed night, EuroBasket Women 2011 MVP Elena Danilochkina also reminded Vainauskas of what he will be missing when she skips the tournament, with 18 points and a place in the Team of the Year, along with Nadezhda colleague Dewanna Bonner.
The trio were joined by UMMC star Candace Parker and Sparta&K shooter Evgeniia Beliakova, as Diana Taurasi claimed the MVP accolade.
|LeCoe Willingham kept her cool, sinking a pair to win the game with time up for Perfumerias Avenida
Perfumerias Avenida completed a sensational and spine tingling comeback in front of their raucous fans, to claim a famous 67-66 Liga Femenina Championship success.
Le'Coe Willingham showed she had ice running through her veins by sinking decisive free-throws with no time remaining on the game clock to seal a thrilling win.
It was an amazing contest and a heartbreaker for Rivas, who had been dominant for long spells, moving 15 points ahead and initially strangling the life out of the home offence. But, things changed when Spanish national team guard Anna Cruz turned her ankle for Rivas and the balance of the tie shifted.
Still trailing by 12 points in the last period, Avenida produced a devastating finish to get the job done and spark a huge fiesta in Salamanca.
Marta Xargay had 12 points and five assists, showing she may be up for increased minutes with Spain at EuroBasket Women , whilst one of the main hopes for Ukraine, Oleksandra Kurasova, had 17 points in defeat.
Meanwhile EuroBasket Women 2013 hopeful Anda Eibele continued her terrific season by leading SK Cesis to the Latvian Championship with a display typical of her great form this season.
She poured in 20 points to hand her team a 3-1 series victory against TTT Riga, courtesy of a crushing 66-46 victory which was wrapped up by half-time.
Another likely candidate to make the final Latvian roster is forward Dita Rozenberga, and she led TTT Riga with 19 points.

A thoracic aortic aneurysm, also called TAA, is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of the aorta (the largest artery in the body), resulting in an abnormal widening or ballooning greater than 50 percent of the vessel's normal diameter (width).
The aorta extends upward from the top of the left ventricle of the heart in the chest area (ascending thoracic aorta), then curves like a candy cane (aortic arch) downward through the chest area (descending thoracic aorta) into the abdomen (abdominal aorta). The aorta delivers oxygenated blood pumped from the heart to the rest of the body.
An aneurysm can be characterized by its location, shape, and cause. A thoracic aortic aneurysm is located in the chest area. The thoracic aorta can be divided into segments: ascending aorta, aortic arch, and descending aorta, as described above. An aneurysm may be located in one of these areas and/or may be continuous throughout the aorta. An aneurysm called a thoracoabdominal aneurysm involves a thoracic aortic aneurysm extending down to the abdominal aorta.
Thoracic aneurysms do not occur as often as abdominal aneurysms. The descending thoracic aorta is the most common location of a thoracic aneurysm, followed by the ascending segment, then the arch. The location of an aneurysm is distinctly connected with the cause, course, and treatment of a thoracic aneurysm.
The shape of an aneurysm is described as being fusiform or saccular which helps to identify a true aneurysm. A true aneurysm involves all three layers of the arterial blood vessel wall. The more common fusiform-shaped aneurysm bulges or balloons out on all sides of the aorta. A saccular-shaped aneurysm bulges or balloons out only on one side.
The aorta is under constant pressure from blood being ejected from the heart. With each heartbeat, the walls of the aorta expand and spring back, exerting continual pressure or stress on the already weakened aneurysm wall. Therefore, there is a potential for rupture (bursting) or dissection (separation of the layers of the thoracic aortic wall), which may cause life-threatening hemorrhage (uncontrolled bleeding) and, potentially, death.
Once formed, an aneurysm will gradually increase in size and there will be a progressive weakening of the aneurysm wall. Treatment for a thoracic aneurysm may include surgical repair or removal of the aneurysm to prevent rupture.
Thoracic aortic aneurysms may be caused by different disease processes, especially in respect to their location.
Examples of different locations of thoracic aortic aneurysms and their causes may include, but are not limited to, the following:
|Location of thoracic aortic aneurysm
|Causes associated with aneurysm type
|Ascending thoracic aneurysm
|Aortic arch thoracic aneurysm
|Descending thoracic aortic aneurysm
Atherosclerosis is most often associated with descending thoracic aneurysms, and is thought to play an important role in aneurysmal disease, including the risk factors associated with atherosclerosis such as:
Thoracic aortic aneurysms may be asymptomatic (without symptoms) or symptomatic (with symptoms). Symptoms of a thoracic aneurysm may be related to the location, size, and growth rate of the aneurysm.
Severe onset of pain associated with a thoracic aneurysm may be a sign of a life-threatening medical emergency.
Symptoms of a thoracic aneurysm may include, but are not limited to, the following:
The symptoms of a thoracic aortic aneurysm may resemble other conditions. Consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for a thoracic aortic aneurysm may include any, or a combination, of the following:
Specific treatment will be determined by your doctor based on:
Treatment may include:
A small aneurysm or one that doesn't cause symptoms may not require surgical treatment until it reaches a certain size or is rapidly increasing in size over a short period of time. Your doctor may recommend "watchful waiting." This may include a CT scan or MRI scan every six months to closely monitor the aneurysm, and blood pressure medication may be used to control high blood pressure.
If the aneurysm is causing symptoms or is large, surgery may be recommended by your doctor.
An aortic dissection, although uncommon, begins with a tear in the inner layer of the aortic wall of the thoracic aorta. The aortic wall is made up of three layers of tissue. When a tear occurs in the innermost layer of the aortic wall, blood is then channeled into the wall of the aorta separating the layers of tissues. This generates a weakening in the aortic wall with a potential for rupture. Aortic dissection can be a life-threatening emergency.
The cause of aortic dissection is still under investigation. However, there are several risk factors associated with aortic dissection, such as:
The most commonly reported symptom of an acute aortic dissection is severe, constant chest and/or upper back pain, sometimes described as "ripping" or "tearing." The pain may be "migratory," moving from one place to another, according to the direction and extent of the dissection.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for an aneurysm may include any, or a combination, of the following:
The doctor will determine the most appropriate examination. When a diagnosis of aortic dissection is confirmed, immediate intervention, such as surgery, is usually performed.? ?

Two major problems associated with tendons include tendonitis and tenosynovitis. Tendonitis, inflammation of a tendon (the tough cords of tissue that connect muscles to bones) can affect any tendon in the body. When the tendons become irritated, swelling, pain, and discomfort will occur.
Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the lining of the tendon sheaths which enclose the tendons. The tendon sheath is usually the site which becomes inflamed, but both the sheath and the tendon can become inflamed simultaneously. The cause of tenosynovitis is often unknown, but usually strain, overuse, injury, or excessive exercise may be implicated. Tendonitis may also be related to disease (for example, diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis).
Common tendon disorders include the following:
The following are the most common symptoms of tendonitis. However each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of tendonitis may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis of tendonitis is usually confirmed based on a complete medical history and physical examination. Tendonitis is often diagnosed after other diagnostic tests have been completed to rule out other conditions or diseases. Joint aspirations may help to rule out gout or an infection, while X-rays may help to rule out arthritis (although tendons cannot be seen on an X-ray).
Specific treatment for tendonitis will be determined by your doctor based on:
Treatment may include:

Wouldn't it be nice, if selecting a block in model view would somehow highlight (just like clicking a block in the list does) the selected block in the "Block List" window?
(Feature request sounds a little harsh, enhancement proposal would seem more apt.)
Yep, that was also my thought. It would be very nice to have this immediately visual information in the "Block List" - and the same with the "Layer-List".
Yes I agree with this -to have "visual" confirmation of selected Block in list.

Increased Dietary Fiber May Improve Constipation Conditions With Pelvic Floor Disorder
The pelvic floor includes muscles and ligaments that hold up the pelvic organs. The bladder, uterus, and rectum are supported by this structure. If the pelvic floor is weakened or damaged, these organs can become misplaced, causing problems such as incontinence , organ prolapse , or constipation . The constipation can also contribute to worsening of pelvic floor conditions.
Researchers from the Indiana University Hospital in Indianapolis examined the effect of a high-fiber diet in relieving constipation problems in women with pelvic floor disorders. The study, published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology , found that a high-fiber diet was beneficial in relieving constipation and preventing related problems.
About the Study
The study was a small prospective cohort study . The participants, 41 women, with pelvic floor disorder, arrived at a clinic because of constipation. The participants were all instructed to eat a high-fiber cereal. The goal was to gradually increase their fiber intake to 28 grams per day for 42 days. At the end of the study 73% of the participants reported improvements in:
- Abdominal, rectal, and stool symptoms
- Scores in straining and the feeling of incomplete emptying
- Average number of weekly bowel movements
- Frequency of laxative use
- Vaginal and/or perineal splinting
How Does This Affect You?
Constipation is uncomfortable and can also cause more serious problems. Some medications that are designed to relieve the problem can cause other problems. Dietary fiber is well known as a natural solution to decrease constipation. However, if fiber is increased too fast it can cause bloating and gas. Gradually add fiber to your diet. Look for whole-grain products to replace white products and look for cereals with fiber.
Work with your doctor to develop a plan for pelvic floor disorder. Lifestyle changes including dietary changes, weight loss , and special exercises may help prevent future complications.

Jeter aiming for return to typical offseason regimen
Shortstop confident normal workout routine will give way to return to form in '14
In many ways, this already feels like an abnormal offseason for Derek Jeter, as we have become accustomed to watching the Yankees captain spend his Octobers in uniform on the game's biggest stages.
Jeter and his team have instead been home for weeks, having come up short in their bid to extend their season into the autumn. Yet Jeter has also expressed excitement about how normal his winter could be.
The 39-year-old captain believes that being unable to follow his usual offseason training program was a major factor in the 2013 campaign he called a "nightmare," featuring four stints on the disabled list due to a troublesome left ankle and other injuries.
"I haven't been able to work out my legs or lift my legs since October of last year," Jeter said before the end of the regular season. "The first time it broke [in the American League Championship Series], you can't do anything weight-bearing and you can't work out.
"Then I was cleared in Spring Training and it was only a couple weeks before I had the second incident. I really think it's just from a lack of strength. ... I think just having a normal offseason, getting back to being able to work out -- no one foresees any other issues."
The Yankees believe that the pounding Jeter gave his weakened left ankle prompted a chain reaction that eventually sent the shortstop back to the DL with a new ankle fracture, a quadriceps strain and a calf injury.
Jeter is expected to exercise a $9.5 million player option for the 2014 season and will turn 40 in June. There is not a long history of shortstops who remained productive past that milestone -- in fact, only Omar Vizquel played more than 100 games as a shortstop at age 39 or older.
Mindful of that, it would be prudent for the Yankees to seek some measure of support at shortstop in 2014. Two potential free-agent shortstops, Stephen Drew and Jhonny Peralta, will be in uniform Wednesday night for Game 4 of the ALCS in Detroit.
The Yankees also enjoyed watching Brendan Ryan show off his wizardry in the field after picking Ryan up in a September trade with the Mariners, but they are still counting on Jeter to contribute.
"I certainly hope to get Derek back to the Derek that we're all used to," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "He's one of those guys that did everything in his power to fight through something that turned out to be pretty significant.
"And so now he'll have some time to back off, get some rest, some more flexibility back and get every aspect of that ankle in line as far as the kinetic chain."
Jeter was limited to 17 games this year, batting .190 (12-for-63) with one home run and seven RBIs. Cashman said that the only position options he could entertain for Jeter in 2014 would be shortstop and designated hitter.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi has agreed with that, saying that it would be "premature" to discuss a position change before Jeter has a chance to recapture his expected level of play. Besides, the Yankees have not been in the business of betting against Jeter.
"I expect him to play, and I think he'll do everything in his power to get back to the form he was in 2012," Girardi said. "He's got an offseason that he has a lot of strength that he wants to gain back in his legs and have a normal offseason. It should be good for him."
Despite lingering pain that prompted the Yankees to prematurely end Jeter's season on Sept. 11 in Baltimore, Jeter has been told there is no reason he would not be able to follow his usual winter program.
After speaking with team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad, as well as Dr. Robert Anderson, the Charlotte, N.C., based surgeon who performed Jeter's left ankle surgery a year ago, Jeter said that he would take a few weeks to rest and then resume working out.
"I truly believe, with a full offseason of working out and getting my strength back, that I'll get back to doing what I've always done," Jeter said.

Rockstar's been mum on the possibility of Grand Theft Auto 5 heading to PC, and fans of the platform are none-too-happy about it. The complaints have taken the form of an online petition, and it's gaining momentum.
As of the time of writing, the petition (via IGN) has reached more than 73,000 signatures, quickly approaching its goal of 100,000. The petition hopes that by showing Rockstar that support for a PC version exists, it can coax the publisher into producing a port of the game.
The petition raises the history of mods in the Grand Theft Auto series, and the relative power of the PC platform to run the game. Grand Theft Auto 4, in particular, has enjoyed a healthy extended lifespan in the mod scene. Rockstar has not explicitly ruled out a PC version, but has said it is "currently focused on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions" right now.
