Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has unveiled a new addition to its growing residential collection, Emaar Residences at the Fairmont Makkah, in Saudi Arabia.

Rice And Pecan Griddle Cakes
By á-170456
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter plus
- 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Emerils Essence see * Note
- 4 large eggs separated, and at room temperature
- 1/3 cup sifted flour
- Vegetable oil
Servings 24
Step 1
* Note: See the "Bayou Blast - { Creole Seasoning}" recipe which is included in this collection.
In a heavy skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the onions, pecans and salt, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl stir together the rice, buttermilk, melted butter and Essence. Fold in the cooled corn mixture. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the yolks at medium speed until thickened, about 4 minutes. Blend in the flour, then stir into the rice mixture.
In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until they hold medium-stiff peaks, about 3 minutes. Fold the whites into the rice mixture, being careful not to deflate.
Grease the skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil, then drop 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until just golden brown on the bottom and bubbles form on the surface of the top, about 2 minutes.
Flip the cakes and cook until just brown on the other side, about 1 minute. Remove from the pan and serve hot as an accompaniment to grilled or roasted meats or chicken.
This recipe yields about 24 pancakes, or 6 servings.

Last season the Knicks were 1-1 versus the Thunder. They did not face the Thunder with Carmelo Anthony last season and they will not face them with Anthony tonight. He is out with a sprained ankle.
Here's what to watch for:
- Bill Walker, yes that Bill Walker, will start in place of Melo. Walker can only shoot 3's and he plays no defense. I think D'Antoni would be smart to match Fields up on Durant and stick Walker on Sefolosha/Harden. I think with Walker on him, Durant could score 70 tonight.
- How do the Knicks compensate for Melo's absence on offense? Melo this year has accounted for a 34.4% usage rate in the Knicks offense. If Bill Walker records 34.4% usage rate tonight, I'll probably shoot myself in the head. The ball needs to moved in the offense tonight. I think in order to win, the Knicks will have to improve on their 3 point shooting. The Knicks have shot 31% from outside the arc this season. Melo is shooting 37% from 3 which shows how poor the rest of the team has been. Fields, Shumpert and Douglas have shot 22% 25% and 26% from 3 respectively.
- Amar'e must dominate tonight. In order for the Knicks to win tonight, Amar'e must go for an efficient 30 point game. The Knicks need him to play like the Amar'e of last season. His test tonight is Serge Ibaka who can be had. While Ibaka is athletic, he can be beaten on the pick and roll and he's been beat on isolations 7 of 13 times this season. If Amar'e can snap out of his funk tonight, he should have a good game.
- How does Shumpert bounce back? Shumpert played his worst game of the year in Memphis, shooting rapidly in a 5/20 performance. Tonight he faces Russell Westbrook who is a very good defensive point guard. Shumpert must continue to play well on defense and improve his game offensively. Not only does he need to shoot less but he needs to penetrate and kick more often. His athleticism allows him to get to the rim whenever he wants but he needs to dish the ball more to create open mid-range and 3 point opportunities.

Eight fire crews are tackling a major fire at a barn and workshop near Royal Wootton Bassett.
Crews were called to a site in Vastern at 12.55pm today for what was originally described as a barn fire. However, the blaze has also affected a workshop and both buildings carry a risk to firefighters as they contain asbestos.
A number of gas cylinders, including acetylene and liquid gas petroleum, are also involved in the fire, and a 200m safety cordon has been put into place.
There are currently eight fire crews tackling the blaze, from Swindon (two), Westlea, Cricklade, Calne, Marlborough, Chippenham and Malmesbury. They are being supported by a water carrier from Ramsbury and an incident command vehicle from Stratton.
It is not yet known how the fire started.

COCOA, Fla. - A Brevard Community College math instructor is being investigated by the college for allegedly using class time to urge students to vote for President Barack Obama and for distributing campaign material that says "I pledge to vote for President Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket."
Associate Professor Sharon Sweet, 58, requested and was granted an unpaid leave of absence Monday morning as senior college officials look into the matter, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported. Sweet did not return phone messages or an email seeking comment Monday, the newspaper said.
A parent complaint Thursday initiated the investigation, and college officials have since received dozens of emails and phone calls expressing concern, BCC spokesman John Glisch said. The incident sparked outrage online, where it was mentioned by conservative bloggers and posted to various websites.
"The college takes this policy extremely seriously," said Glisch, referring to a policy that prohibits employees from soliciting support for a political candidate during working hours or on college property.
"We are a nonpartisan, public institution," he said. "It is very important that all of our faculty and staff act in that manner at work and while they're on campus."
Glisch said senior college officials investigating the complaints will interview the roughly 100 students in Sweet's classes. In addition, college provosts are reiterating the college's policy to employees.
Sweet teaches college algebra and math for liberal arts on the Melbourne campus and receives a salary of about $40,000 a year. She's been employed by BCC for five years.

Lesson Details
Acoustic Guitar
- Levels Taught:
- Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
I have been playing acoustic guitar for over 20 years and teaching for about 10 years. I'm happy to share my knowledge and expertise with students of all ages and skill levels - beginner to advanced.
Gio teaches
- Teaches students:
- Ages 1+
- Teaching since:
- January 2005
I studied music at UCF (Orlando), focusing on classical and jazz guitar, but I also have years of experience playing rock, blues, folk, hip-hop, and musical theater on both guitar and drums.
I have been teaching guitar, drums, and piano for about eight years to students of all ages. Music is what I'm passionate about and it's what I enjoy. I want to inspire that same passion into the hearts and minds of others.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am a laid-back teacher, fun, and I focus on the needs, abilities, and ambitions of the student. In turn, students must realize that learning an instrument takes a lot of work and dedication. One can't expect to learn very much if s/he only practices or thinks about the instrument during the lesson. If the student is willing to put some time into practicing, then I will help them go far!
*** Studio Equipment ***
I have several guitars, a drum kit, djembe, mandolin, clarinet and full-size keyboard.
*** Specialties ***
Guitar: Classical, jazz, American or Irish folk, rock and pop; lead or rhythm.
Drums & Percussion: All genres
Piano: Classical (includes sight reading)

More than anything, I teach my students how to play as an ensemble, no matter their individual skill level.Show More
Music InstructorJan 2005 - Present
I began teaching guitar and drums in 2005, with students of all ages. I've taught both individual lessons and group lessons on both, and I've worked with young children (even infants and toddlers), teenagers, and adults. Over the years, I have also taken on students of percussion, harmonica, piano, mandolin, and bass guitar as well.Show More

My son Joseph just completed his 5th lesson with Gio and he LOVES his piano classes. Gio is very patient and dedicated to Joseph. Glad that my son is taking lessons from him.
He's very pleasant, patient and easy to understand.
My son has learned alot with Gio so far. He is very patient, professional and wonderful working with my son who is now 8 years old. I look forward to many more lessons.

Very patient with an older student with unclear goals.

Im really excited to learn more
Gio is great. He knows his stuff and makes the lessons fun while teaching.
Gio has been wonderfully patient with my efforts as a total beginner. His instructions are clear and helpful, and he has provided a good mix of motivation and encouragement. Highly recommended!
Great, creative teacher
Gio has a great way of thinking outside the box and teaching my daughter each week. He uses creative methods to engage her and help her relate to the material and provides easy instructions for practicing during the week. He is patient and easy going which allows for her not to feel overwhelmed as she's just learning the guitar. I'm very happy with how he's teaching her!
Attentive and great at teaching technique
Gio truly focuses on the student's needs. I've met too many self-absorbed musicians in the past, but Gio really pays attention to details in the student's playing. He is excellent at teaching technique and was the first guitar teacher to help me fix physical problems regarding posture and arm tension. His kind, easy-going manner makes a student comfortable. He has a wealth of musical knowledge to share.

So unless you've been living on a deserted island for the last year, you know that Watchmen is about to hit theaters. However, many have been wondering, "What about Tales of The Black Freighter?" Watchmen's famous comic-within-a-comic yarn about an Englishman who washes up on a deserted island and must make his way back home.
It was confirmed early on that Tales of The Black Freighter wasn't going to be included in the theatrical release of Watchmen, due to the constraints Warner Bros. put on the film's overall running time. However, director Zack Snyder made it a point to tell Watchmen fans that Tales of The Black Freighter would be included in the Watchmen movie experience in the form of a straight-to-DVD animated feature that would be released as a tie-in to the main film.
Now Screen Rant has details about the Tales of The Black Freighter tie-in, and it is looking pretty awesome. Check it out.
Here's the official press release Warner Bros. has put out regarding Tales of The Black Freighter:
Tales of the Black Freighter, the story-within-the-story in the acclaimed Watchmen features the voices of Gerard Butler (300) and Jared Harris (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and is directed by Daniel DelPurgatorio and Mike Smith and written by Alex Tse (Watchmen) and Zack Snyder. Tales of the Black Freighter is produced by Brian McNulty and Karen Mayeda-Vranek.
Tales of the Black Freighter brings to strikingly animated life the graphic novel's richly layered story-within-a-story. Within the graphic novel, Tales of the Black Freighter, appears as a comic book read by a young man in New York City while the city is being destroyed. This daring pirate saga chronicles a sailor's journey home from being marooned. During his journey, the young seaman is "forced by the urgency of his mission to shed one inhibition after another" and experience horrible events along the way. The turbulent events the sailor endures seem to mirror those in the Watchmen's world.
Nice. I like that main players like Alex Tse and Zack Snyder have had an active hand in Tales of The Black Freighter's production. They could have been lazy and delegated the extra bits of Watchmen to some low-tier lackeys, but they didn't; their close involvement at every level definitely shows that Snyder and Co. are committed to making the best Watchmen adaptation they possibly can.
As extra incentive for you to go and rent and/or buy Tales of The Black Freighter, the filmmakers have included a second Watchmen tie-in film on the DVD release: Hollis Mason's autobiography of crimefighting days as Nite Owl I, Under The Hood. Those who've read Watchmen already know that excerpts from Under The Hood were included at the end of each chapter of the story, helping to expand the reader's understanding of the world that ushered in (and ultimately ushered out) the era of masked heroes. Under The Hood was also revolutionary in that it examined the life of a superhero from an incredibly intimate and realistic perspective.
Check out the details about Under The Hood from Warner Bros.' press release:
Hollis Mason's tell-all autobiography, Under the Hood, chronicles the events in Hollis Mason's life that led to him to become the masked avenger Nite Owl and discusses how the Minutemen were formed. It features the original Sally Spectre, the Comedian, Moloch the Mystic, along with Hollis Mason, the original Nite Owl.
Under the Hood is directed by Eric Matthies, written by Hans Rodionoff and produced by Eric Matthies and Wesley Coller. Stars Carla Gugino, Matt Frewer, Stephen McHattie and Jeffrey Dean Morgan appear as their characters from the theatrical Watchmen film in this live-action documentary style special.
Produced in association with Legendary Pictures, [Tales of The Black Freighter & Under The Hood] are executive produced by Watchmen director Zack Snyder, Lawrence Gordon, Lloyd Levin, Deborah Snyder, Thomas Tull and Wesley Coller.
Tales of the Black Freighter & Under the Hood arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on March 24th from Warner Home Video.
Again, it's really cool that the filmmakers are putting real effort into getting all the loose threads of Watchmen to weave seamlessly into the theatrical release. I mean, you got a big star like Gerard Butler voicing the lead character in Tales of The Black Freighter, and Watchmen stars like Carla Gugino and Jeffrey Dean Morgan appearing in Holis Mason's Under The Hood "documentary." Not too shabby--though I kinda wish that the tie-in DVD was being released on the same day Watchmen hits theaters. (But I see why they're waiting, they don't want the film to be spoiled for anyone who hasn't read the story before. Plus there will be more incetive to buy Tales of The Black Freigther once the movie is out and people are interested.)
However what really is making me happy is that all this top-notch production being done on the extra bits of Watchmen lends great credit to Zack Snyder's repeated assertion that a full-length (4.5 hours it's been rumored) unabriged cut of the film (with Tales of The Black Freighter and Under The Hood woven into their "proper places" in the story), will eventually be released. Cannot wait for the day that happens.
Oh, and for all of you out there who like to sweat the technical details:
Watchmen: Tales from the Black Freighter and Under the Hood will be available on standard definition disc for $27.95 SRP and Blu-ray disc for $35.99 SRP.

In addition to Tales of The Black Freighter's release, there will also be a Watchmen motion comic coming to DVD and Blu-ray on March 3rd! Here is a quick rundown of the motion comic, as described by Warner Bros.' official press release:
Overseen by "Watchmen" illustrator Dave Gibbons, Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic contains all 12 chapters of "Watchmen," the most celebrated graphic novel of all time, adding motion, voice and sound to the book's strikingly drawn panels, spanning everything from the mysterious demise of the Comedian to the crisscrossed destinies of loosely allied superheroes to their fateful impact on the world. The 12 approximately 30-minute chapters were previously available exclusively as iTunes downloads.
Produced by Watchmen and 300 director Zack Snyder, Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic was colored by John Higgins and narrated by Tom Stechschulte.
The 2-disc standard and Blu-ray sets includes nearly 6 hours of content and both include Movie Cash, good for $7.50 off of a movie ticket for Watchmen beginning on March 6th. In addition, the Blu-ray disc includes a first look at the theatrical film with an action-packed scene from the movie available exclusively through Warner Bros. BD-Live™.
Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic will be available in a 2-disc set for $29.98 and a Digital Copy Special Edition Blu-ray set for $34.99.DVD ELEMENTS FOR 2-DISC SPECIAL EDITION AND BLU-RAY
2-Disc SD:o 12 original chapterso Enhanced Content:• Wonder Woman: The Amazon Princess
Blu-ray Disc:o 12 original chapterso Enhanced Content:• Wonder Woman: The Amazon Princess• Watchmen Theatrical Video Journal with Dave Gibbons• BD-live: Exclusive first look at the Watchmen theatrical film with a specially selected action-packed scene.
Guess that will give those who don't read comics a chance to experience Watchmen in all its original, graphic novel glory. I'm not really into the whole "motion comic" thing myself (I still like to hold the comics in my hands), but having Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons oversee the motion comic is a pretty glowing endorsement.
Are you psyched about Tales From The Black Freighter and Under The Hood? How about the Watchmen motion comic? Does the thought of the extra bits not being included in the theatrical release put you off, or are you still pumped for March 6, 2009, when Watchmen hits everywhere? Let us know how you feel.

Murray helps Britain take 2-1 lead over Italy in Davis Cup
NAPLES, Italy — Britain held off a comeback attempt from Italy to win the doubles match and take a 2-1 lead in their Davis Cup quarterfinal on Saturday.
Andy Murray and Colin Fleming beat Fabio Fognini and Simone Bolelli 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5 in three hours to boost Britain's bid to reach the semifinals for the first time since 1981.
Earlier, Murray completed a 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 victory over Andreas Seppi in their delayed singles match.
Britain looked on course for a straight-set victory in the doubles but the Italian duo saved four break points at the start of the third set and went on to get a foothold in the match.
The countries' top players face each other in Sunday's first reverse singles match with Murray looking to seal the victory for Britain against Fognini.
"We managed to convert some chances in the fourth set, Colin came up with some good returns in the end and I felt like we deserved to win," Murray said. "Bolelli played an excellent match, he made it really tough for us and was hitting the ball huge from the back of the court.
"It should be a tough match (against Fognini). Fabio has played very well this year so it'll be a great challenge. But I hope I can have a good match and get us to the semis."
Italy has not lost at home to Britain since 1926 and is hoping to reach the semifinals for the first time in 16 years.
Murray gave Britain the first break of the match with a backhand volley winner past Bolelli. Both Italians then argued with the referee in the final game of the first set following what appeared to be a double-hit from Fleming on a point won by the British team.
That appeared to affect the Italian mindset and Britain raced into a two-set lead, sealing it with a cross-court smash from Fleming as the duo held to love.
The match then turned on its head at the start of the third set.
Britain looked set to take another early advantage but Italy saved four break points and then secured its first break of the match.
Italy rescued another three break points as Bolelli served for the set and took the game when Fleming netted a return.
Bolelli helped Italy break again in the third game of the fourth set with a backhand crosscourt winner as the duo fought back from 40-15 down.
There was then a rapid exchange of breaks as Italy looked on course to level the match when serving for the set.
However, Britain broke again before holding to love and then raced into a 40-0 lead in the final game.
Fognini and Bolelli saved two match points as Fleming first hit into the net, before Murray sent a backhand wide. But Britain secured the match when Bolelli failed to get a return over the net.
Murray's singles match had been suspended Friday night due to fading light, with the British No. 1 leading 6-4, 5-5.
When play resumed, Murray immediately broke and then held his serve to take a commanding lead.
Seppi earned an early break in the third set, but the Italian immediately relinquished his advantage with a double fault to allow Murray to break back.
The two-time Grand Slam champion won five games in a row to seal the match.
Seppi missed four set points in the second set, and then double-faulted to hand Murray the decisive break.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Sean Griffin, October 29, 2009
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) documents thousands of cases of disease outbreak in pools and spas every year. Bacterial, viral, and Parasites can lead to hospitalization and in rare cases can cause death. Water is a breeding ground for bacteria and can support viruses and parasites long enough for them to enter your body through absorption, inhalation, and/or ingestion.
The best way to combat these contaminants is monitoring water chemistry on a consistent basis and having sanitizer and sanitizing devices in place to destroy these hazards. Sanitizer is necessary for water maintenance but can be used in conjunction with mineral filters, ozone treatment, and ultra-violet (UV) treatment as an added layer of protection. For heavily used pool and spas, a bacteria test kit can be used that will inform you of any infestation in just 17 min.
There are a few different types of Bacteria found in pool and spas. All of them can make you sick. If conditions are right, these can even be fatal. Spas tend to harbor bacteria more easily than pools. Probably due to their high heat, and the small amount of water, with multiple users. How do these bacterium get into pools and spas? More ways than you can imagine. Small animals or insects can bring it in. Bathers that aren't so, uh...clean down there, and small children that just can't help it.
E. coli is the head of the large bacterial family, Enterobacteriaceae, the enteric bacteria, which are facultatively anaerobic Gram-negative rods that live in the intestinal tracts of animals in health and disease. E. coli can respond to environmental signals such as chemicals, pH, temperature, osmolarity, etc., in a number of very remarkable ways considering it is a unicellular organism. For example, it can sense the presence or absence of chemicals and gases in its environment and swim towards or away from them. Symptoms: Diarrhea, visceral disturbance
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacterium which can cause disease in animals and humans. It is found in soil, water, skin flora and most man-made environments throughout the world. It thrives not only in normal atmospheres, but also with little oxygen, and has thus colonized many natural and artificial environments. It uses a wide range of organic material for food; in animals, the versatility enables the organism to infect damaged tissues or people with reduced immunity. The symptoms of such infections are generalized inflammation and sepsis. If such colonizations occur in critical body organs such as the lungs, the urinary tract, and kidneys, the results can be fatal. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is very common in the environment and can be found on your skin but is usually not infective because the population of bacteria is small and your skin provides effective barrier against entry.
Legionnaires' disease is caused by a bacterium called legionella pneumophilia, and people catch it by inhaling small droplets of infected water suspended in the air. Legionella is far greater as the water is hotter and the volume is smaller. To prevent it, apart from properly maintaining air-conditioning and industrial cooling systems, to which Legionnaires' disease is linked, water must be treated and the system cleaned regularly. The bacterium normally lives in water, and the symptoms are similar to the flu.
Shigella are bacteria that can infect the digestive tract and cause a wide range of symptoms, from diarrhea , cramping, vomiting, and nausea, to more serious complications and illnesses. Infections, called shigellosis, sometimes go away on their own; in others, antibiotics can shorten the course of the illness. Other symptoms of shigellosis include: abdominal cramps, high fever, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, and painful bowel movements.In very severe cases of shigellosis, a person may have convulsions (seizures), a stiff neck, a headache, extreme tiredness, and confusion. Shigellosis can also lead to dehydration and in rare cases, other complications, like arthritis, skin rashes, and kidney failure.
Campylobacter jejuni is a slender, curved, and motile rod. It is a microaerophilic organism, which means it has a requirement for reduced levels of oxygen. It is relatively fragile, and sensitive to environmental stresses (e.g., 21% oxygen, drying, heating, disinfectants, acidic conditions). Because of its microaerophilic characteristics the organism requires 3 to 5% oxygen and 2 to 10% carbon dioxide for optimal growth conditions. This bacterium is now recognized as an important enteric pathogen.
If you operate a public pool or spa (or baby pool) - you may be required to test for bacteria regularly and submit testing reports to the local Health Department. Or if you're a little germaphobic (like me) - you can test your own water monthly to ensure no contamination. The watersafe bacteria test kit is recommended.
If you do find an infection, do a Google search to determine the best treatment for eradication. Generally speaking, if found in a spa, drain and clean the spa, soak the filter cartridge in a chlorine solution or replace it. After the spa is refilled, it would be a good idea to shock the spa with a granular chlorine product - bacteria can find a home in tiny crevices and in Biofilm, lining the pipes and other hidden areas. If testing finds bacteria in the pool, you don't need to drain it, and scrub it clean (i.e. Caddy Shack). Remove vomit or feces as quicklly as possible, (before it enters the filter system) - Balance the water and shock the pool good. If the contaminant entered the filter system, you may also want to change the filter media. Backwash thoroughly at the very least.
Here's to keeping our pool and spa users Healthy!

But here we are looking at another version of an article spinner that has been around for quite some time. Spin Rewriter from www.spinrewriter.com has just announced version 9.0 of its article creation software. Spin Rewriter 9.0 boasts lots of features that claim to make content creation easy. But is this software all its cracked up to be or should you avoid this one like the plague?

"For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish." - Psalms 1:6
I've had problems with a passive-aggressive colleague at work and it has been a struggle to grit my teeth and stick to the high road. It is my professional (and personal, come to think of it) philosophy to keep to the high road, because I don't think anyone ever regrets it. But man...she takes some cheap shots at me sometimes, and it's all I can do not to fire back with some zinger that will put her in her place. So far, I have refrained. This is not to say she's wicked, but I believe a righteous man turns the other cheek, so I will continue to try!

We've always enjoyed our New Year's Bread mit parisa and drucken Alsacer wurst from LaCoste Meat Market. And we never miss a holiday turkey dinner without your Grandma Lucille Kempf's cranberry salad loaded with cherry Jello, cranberry sauce, sliced bananas, a whole cup of pecans, sugar, hot water, orange juice, crushed pineapple and miniature marshmallows which you chill overnight in the fridge.ReplyDelete
For that big breakfast after midnight mass, you still have time to prepare the original Alsatian breakfast sausage pattie recipe:ReplyDelete
1 lb. ground pork
1/2 TB coarse salt
1/16 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cloves
but go lightly
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
or more
1/16 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp garlic powder
Combine and form patties which you fry in a nonstick pan.
Black pepper, nutmeg, clove and cinnamon are known as quatra-epices, or French spice, which give our Alsatian sausage that special something. The Cajuns allude to the spices to go with pepper, onion and celery as the holy trinity in their Cajun cooking.

The Old Alsatian

Thank you so much for the comments! I was on the computer last night when the first one popped up and I almost fell out of my chair! It was so good to hear from you...it has been too many years! I was just speaking to Mother about our "brunch" for the tree opening and my husband requested Castroville sausage! I think I will suggest your breakfast sausage pattie recipe! Sounds delicious! We will be in town Dec. 26-Jan. 3. Maybe we will run into you one of those days!ReplyDelete
Humm...I am going to have to talk to Dad about that cranberry salad. I can hardly remember it! Thanks for remembering it! It wouldn't be a Texas meal without a jello salad--my husband just doesn't get it!!!! Is it a vegatable, fruit or what???ReplyDelete
It was a pleasant surprise running across your internet connection while we were researching the family tree and noted the Tschirhart photo which we originally obtained in a book, Germans in Texas. Anyway, it's a pleasant surprise to connect after all these years, and you are in an area near Fort Lee, Va., where we spent our first two married years like a long honeymoon. By the by, your ol' buddy Kathy is with husband and son in Surrey, England. Hope to see you over the holidays and maybe Jerry will want a peek at our published cookbook. Hugs.ReplyDelete

About cybearDJM
Well, in short, with a technical background, I moved to marketing & communication, when I founded a Web agency in 1998. Then, in 2003, I added a subsidiary specialized in Sound & Music Design, working for TV, ads, movies, cartoons (check http://www.CybearSonic.com ).
I might even doubt of his knowledge of the Internet and Technology as a whole... ;-)
All the comments on the "unLabel", being positive as well as negative feedbacks, are effectively helping us to keep on working on our project and make it better, simpler and more focused.
I also received direct comments from groups or artists that expressed their interest... amazing!!!
I presented the project @ Womex '09, and got in touch with other "labels" or managers working in the same "disruptive" directions... as well as some institutions that want to know more... encouraging!!!
I then would like to thank Mike, his team and all the commenters for their help.
BTW, if you like World Music and or (World) Jazz, you should check our page for Womex.
Didier J. MARY
Here's a fun song/video (including lyrics)
Sometimes, things turn weird... ;-)
... not on the fact that Mike doesn't like labels, o'course...
Labels have to change, artists need this change... They need real help - services I mean...
I could tell stories of artists that are great performers, singers, players who have a great background history, but were treated like "slaves", with no or bad contracts, no money, no artistic development, from many different label kinds/sizes...
Nobody cared, except to pick the money out of their, not so deep, pockets...
I won't tell names here... ;-)
"in the next few weeks, we are going to be running a detailed series on the question of IP in the developing world"
Really waiting for it...
He's known to not using computers, not liking them... Then, an Internet access is of no use... ;-)
Well, so far the cut off seems to be "agnostic"... So yes this might happen... Imagine : McDonald's, as other restaurants do, offer free WIFI access...
As it's the Internet access owner who's cut, even if not guilty, many might become "unwired"...
Well, you ask why ? Should I answer "lobbying" ? (Most of) the majors have been lobbying for months (years ?), since the new government/presidency started, to get this "law" on tracks... As (most of) the government's staff can't understand what the "digital world" is, what a (smart vs obsolete) business model is... they just keep on believing that what they've been told is plain truth...
Poor France... :-(

Pre-pubescent girls were worshipped as goddesses across West Bengal Saturday to mark Maha Ashtami - the most auspicious of the five-day Durga puja festival.
Devotees from across the country and abroad gathered at Belur Math, the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Mission near here for the Kumari puja which initiates Maha Ashtami celebrations.
The ritual of Kumari puja, a significant part of Maha Ashtami worship, was started in 1901 by the founder of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission (RMRM), Swami Vivekananda.
An unmarried girl between one to sixteen years of age, who has not yet reached puberty and is bereft of desire, worldly pleasures and anger, is selected for the ritual, which highlights the importance of women.
West Bengal Governor M.K. Narayanan too was part of the large gathering at Belur Math in Howrah district, about 10 km from the state capital. The gathering of devotees from across the world watched in awe as monks carried out the ritual. Depending on their age, the girls are worshipped in various forms of the goddess.
Seven-year-old Kankana Chakrabarty was chosen as the Kumari at Belur Math Saturday and worshipped in the "Malini" form of the goddess.
At break of dawn, the Kumari was bathed in Ganga water, draped in a red sari, adorned with flowers and jewellery, with a "sindur (vermillion) tilak" applied on her forehead.
The young Kumari fasts the whole day until the puja is over. She is made to sit before the goddess's idol on a decorated chair with priests chanting hymns and dhak (traditional drum) being played in the background.
According to religious belief, after the puja, the divinity of the goddess descends into the Kumari.
Kumari puja was also conducted at many other community pandals and traditional households across the state where Durga puja is organised.
Throughout the state, festive fervour peaked on Maha Ashtami as the young and old alike chanted hymns, taking part in anjali (offerings to the god) and stood in long queues before idols of the goddess Durga.
Braving a steady drizzle, revellers, in their best outfits, gorged on the Ashtami staple of luchi-aludum (flat-bread and pressure-cooked spicy potatoes) or khichuri (dish made from lentils with cauliflower).
Upholding tradition, the nine manifestations of the goddess - Durga, Jayanti, Mangola Kali, Bhadra Kali, Kapalini, Kshama Dhatri, Siva, Svaha and Svadha - were also offered tributes.
In the evening, Sandhi puja was performed. It is done at the juncture when Maha Ashtami ends and Maha Navami starts. It is believed that Devi Chamunda appeared during this time to kill demons Chando and Mundo.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee greeted people on the occasion of Maha Ashtami. Durga Puja, one of the biggest annual festivals in eastern India, marks the victory of good over evil, with the slaying of demon Mahishasura by goddess Durga, astride a lion.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Jordan Heath scored a season-high 21 points with 11 rebounds to lead all five Canisius starters in double figures as the hot-shooting Golden Griffins defeated Loyola (Md.) 91-79 Thursday night.
Isaac Sosa added 19 points, hitting 6 of 7 3-pointers, while Billy Baron scored 16 with seven assists, Harold Washington 13 and Chris Manhertz 11.
Canisius (14-8, 7-4 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference) shot 63 percent (17 of 27) to lead 43-31 at halftime and finished at 60.4 percent (29 of 48), making 13 of 19 3-pointers.
The Golden Griffins expanded the lead to 69-48 with 11:04 left, but the Greyhounds closed the gap to 80-75 with 4:16 remaining. Loyola could get no closer, missing five field goals and three free throws.
Robert Olson scored a career-high 27 points for the Greyhounds (15-8, 7-4), who scored 32 points off 16 Canisius turnovers while committing only three miscues of their own.

Soooooo this was an easy one since the shorts were already neon green, SCORE...high five! I just dipped it in 50% bleach and 50% water, drain and let it hang for 2 hours. Then rinse all the bleach out with cold water, throw in the washing machine, dry and voila...SUMMER TREND! Ugh love the faint aqua between the lime and white, makes it kinda beachy.
Anywho, run to your local thrift/charity shops NOW...yes now, find those oversized neon shorts and dip em'!

Hosting services have gotten a lot better in recent times, more storage, more bandwidth, cheaper prices. But there is only so far that regular hosting will go. When I first launched PSDTUTS, despite being on a great webhost with some big specs, we ran into both bandwidth and file serving problems when our tutorials (each containing dozens of heavy images) would land on Digg. And then a friend recommended I try using Amazon's Simple Storage Service (aka S3).
It turned out to be really easy to use S3 like a giant, unlimited host, and I've been using it ever since for high-access, or heavy files like podcasts for FreelanceSwitch, images for blogs, and even for sending files to clients. In this tutorial I'll show you how with just Firefox you can turn S3 into your own personal content delivery network.
It's super simple, even I could do it!
Step 1
The first thing you are going to need is an account. So do the following:
- Log in to your regular Amazon.com account (or if you don't have one, create one!)
- Go to Amazon.com/AWS (AWS = Amazon Web Services)
- Using your Amazon account, Create an AWS account by following the prompts
- When you've created your AWS account (shown below) you'll see a list of web services that you might be interested in. Choose "Amazon Simple Storage Service"
Step 2
Now before you can do anything with S3 you have to Sign Up For This Web Service. (I know there's a lot of signing up to do!)
You'll need to provide a credit card so that Amazon can bill you for bandwidth, storage and processing. The rates are low, something like $.15 p/gb transferred.
Although you might be thinking that your webhost provides bandwith at a much cheaper rate, this probably isn't really the case. For example a company like Dreamhost will offer you literally terrabytes of bandwidth for just a few dollars a month. However if you try to hit their servers quickly to make use of this bandwidth (e.g. during a Digg, or when you just sent a newsletter out about a download file), you're unlikely to get either a quick download, or even a download at all. In my experience webhosts count on the fact that there are a lot of factors that ensure it's highly unlikely you'll ever use that bandwidth.
In the time I've used S3 - about 8 months now - I've hit it with some pretty large spikes of traffic. The biggest was a day when we had 150,000 visitors in a single day on a tutorial with a total of 3mb of images. So that day alone it served up 450gb of data, and didn't even bat an eyelash. I'm sure in the scheme of things there are much bigger users too.
So it's pretty safe, and it's pretty cheap. Meanwhiles Amazon should really be paying me money for all this promotion :-)
Step 3
So anyway once you've signed up, click on the "Your Web Services Account" button and a little menu appears. This is where you control your account, check on your activity (ie. bill) and so on.
Click on "AWS Access Identifiers"
Step 4
Now you'll get two numbers, your access key ID and your secret access key. Needless to say you want to keep these very safe!
Copy the two numbers out into a text editor so we have them on hand, because we'll need them in a second.
Step 5
Next we're going to need our Firefox Extension. If you're not using Firefox ... well you're on your own :-) I know for example you can use Transmit on a Mac to log in to your S3 account. Presumably on Windows there is something similar (if anyone knows ... please do leave a comment).
So we're going to use the S3Fox extension from RJonna
Visit the website and click on the link shown in the screenshot to download S3Fox.
Step 6
Once installed, your Firefox will restart and then you'll see that you can now access S3Fox either from the bottom right of your browser window or from the Tools menu.
So go to Tools > S3 Organiser and you should have a tab appear showing your S3Fox window. It's really similar to an FTP program and hence super easy to use. There are a couple of differences though.
So click on Manage Accounts and create an account with your Access Key and Secret Key from earlier. Click Save.
Step 7
Once you've created an account you'll get a blank area on the right hand side. The first thing you need to do is create a Bucket. A Bucket is Amazon terminology for what amounts to a folder or directory of files. Bucket names have to be unique across the service, so for example you won't be able to create a bucket called "Test" because I'm sure that was like the first bucket name to go.
Anyhow right click on the right hand side and choose "Create Directory", this will in fact create a Bucket because we're in the root. Once you have a bucket created you can create directories inside. You can also have as many buckets as you wish.
You'll be prompted for a name and the extension will show you a bunch of rules about bucket names. Weirdly the extension seems to interchange the words bucket, folder and directory.
Step 8
So I created a bucket named "nettuts" and then added two directories inside called "003_S3" and "s3demo". Then I have dragged an image over to upload to S3. The image is called s3image.jpg.
Now Right-Click on the file and choose Edit ACL. Before you can access your file you're going to need to change its permissions, and that's what this does.
You'll be prompted to give Read/Write/Full Control by ticking or unticking some selections. You only want to give Read access here, so tick the boxes.
(Note on a Mac the extension has a weird bug that when you click on the 'x' it doesn't immediately change to a tick, but when you click Save, all of a sudden it does. It's confusing and hopefully will get fixed, but you get used to it)
Step 9
Now once you have set permissions, Right Click again and choose Copy URL to Clipboard. The URL For my image is:
http://cdn.tutsplus.com/net/uploads/legacy/003_S3/s3demo/s3image.jpg" data-original-url="https://nettuts.s3.amazonaws.com/003_S3/s3demo/s3image.jpg
As you can see the first part of the URL is the bucket name, then the domain, then the folders and finally the file name.
That's It!
And that's it, here's the image that I placed on S3. Right click and view its location to see! (Actually all the images in this tutorial are on S3 :-)
Of course if you want to do all this dynamically with PHP or Ruby, that's a whole other kettle of fish, and hopefully one we'll cover here in future. You can also get Wordpress and other app plugins that connect up to S3.

U.S. farmers and ranchers are competing in a very active international market with many countries investing significant public and private funds in trade development and market promotion programs. This is the finding of a study released by U.S. Wheat Associates (USW), who stated: "This is the first study to take an in-depth look at competing export market development programs as well as the source and amount of funding."
Like what you're reading? Subscribe to the National Hog Farmer Weekly Preview newsletter and get the latest news delivered right to your inbox every week!
According to the study, the European Union (EU) central government and 12 individual countries (Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, France, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, South Africa and Turkey) spent an estimated $1.8 billion, including $700 million in public funds and $1.1 billion in private funds, on export promotion for agri-food products. This compares to the United States in which an estimated $650 million, including $256 million in public funds and $394 million in private investment, were spent on trade development and marketing promotion programs of agri-food products.

A letter from Dr Chris Cheeseman
Dear Sir
I have spent most of my professional career studying the badger/bovine TB issue. I did so because I wanted to make a contribution to helping the farming industry solve a complex and intractable problem. One vitally important thing we have learnt after decades of rigorous scientific endeavour is what not to do - i.e. cull badgers.
Brian May took a brave step going into the lion's den of a Farmers' Weekly interview. His answers were informed and robust, but obviously not what the pro-culling lobby wanted to hear. Reading through the comments posted after the interview was published was a depressing experience, where it is clear that there is extreme polarisation in the pro- and anti-cull factions, leaving those who merely want to understand this complex issue confused and bewildered.
Farmers' Weekly will not want to publish a long description of the scientific background from me, so I would like to offer a brief summary of the current position for the benefit of those who just want to know the basic facts:
Culling badgers has been shown scientifically to have both positive and negative impacts on cattle TB, such that in 2007 an Independent Scientific Group concluded that "culling badgers can make no meaningful contribution to the control of TB in cattle in Britain". Since the end of the culling trial, the positive effects have waned more slowly than the negative effects, and this has led the government to re-examine the badger culling option. They have estimated that after four years of culling, five years on (nine years in total), there will be a 12-16% reduction in cattle TB. A major flaw in this estimate of what is undoubtedly a meagre benefit is that they have introduced some fundamental and dangerous changes to the culling procedure that, in the view of expert scientific opinion, will increase the negative effects.
These changes include the shooting of free-ranging badgers with shotguns and rifles - an untried and untested method, and the allowance of six weeks for culling to take place. In the culling trial, a maximum of 12 days was set in order to avoid immigration and emigration during the cull, something that will lead to the disruptive "perturbation" effects and a potential negative impact. Perhaps the greatest tragedy is that once they begin, the trials will never be able to show what impact they have had on cattle TB because they are not being designed as an experiment.
Apart from these fundamental flaws, neither Defra or Natural England have said precisely how they will assess the 70% target for culling badgers, and neither have they given sufficient reassurance on the safety aspects of shooting or how badger welfare can be effectively monitored.
The pilot culls are shaping up for a public relations disaster for the farming industry and the government. I just hope they never happen for the sake of farmers and their cattle. It matters not so much for the ephemeral entity of a government.
Dr Chris Cheeseman

Well, it looks like So Undercover is Miss Congeniality for the One Direction set: "Grungy, schlubby" female detective (she wears flannel shirts) is given a makeover (specifically, the kind that always seems to merit a slow-motion ground-to-head-level camera tilt) and sent to infiltrate some kind of digsustingly patriarchal organization in order to solve a case. In Miley's case, it is university Greek life.
In the process, Det. Grungy Schlubby will learn to appreciate all kinds of women and even when she goes back to the force she'll have learned a better hair maintenance routine and blargle blargle blarg.
Some important questions we're left with:
- "Molly Morris isn't your typical teenager," says the Trailer Voice at the beginning. Where do they let people who can't drink in bars yet become gun-carrying fuzz?
- Would you accept a makeover from Jeremy Piven?
- Why can't this just star SNL player Vanessa Bayer as Miley Cyrus?

How Multilateral Free Trade Agreements Are Bypassing Democratic Decision-Making Around The World
from the behind-closed-doors dept
One of the most worrying aspects of ACTA -- which began life as a "simple" treaty about combatting counterfeit goods -- was how it morphed into a new approach to global policy making. This had two key aspects. First, the treaty would be negotiated in secret, with minimal input from the public, but plenty from lobbyists, who were given access to key documents and to negotiators. Secondly, the results of those secret negotiations were designed to constrain the participating governments in important ways that nullified ordinary democratic decision-making. If at all, representative bodies were presented with a take-it-or-leave it choice; changing individual details was not an option.
That, in its turn, meant that public in those countries had very little chance to fight harmful provisions in a treaty, since the only way to do that was to persuade their government to reject it completely, which was extremely difficult after the years of negotiation. The European Parliament's dramatic refusal to agree to ACTA was largely because of the unusual division of power in the European Union.
TPP has adopted exactly the same process: negotiations behind closed doors, but this time, without even the occasional official release of drafts as happened with ACTA (luckily, there have been leaks.) And assuming the negotiations are concluded successfully, it is likely that national legislatures will be presented with the same take-it-or-leave-it offer, with huge pressure to accept.
More recently, the newly-announced transatlantic free trade agreement (TAFTA) between the US and the EU is gaining momentum, not least in terms of the countries that may ask to join. At the last count, these included Mexico, Canada and Turkey. The US has also started talking to West African states about a free trade agreement, and it's easy to see that being rolled into TAFTA at some point.
TPP is also expanding rapidly. Mexico and Canada have already joined, under pretty humiliating terms, while Japan has signalled that it wishes to do so. Recently we learned that South Korea and Taiwan are considering applying.
As we've noted before, putting together TPP and TAFTA, it's striking how they include all of the world's biggest economies outside the so-called BRICS group of emerging countries -- Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The natural response to being locked out of the two US-centric trade areas would be to form their own, and in fact India has begun talks with the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan about a free trade agreement. Significantly, enlarging that to including other nearby countries is already being mooted:
Kazakhstan's neighbour Kyrgyzstan is likely to be the fourth entrant and Tajikistan could over time be the fifth country to joint the Customs Union. Ukraine, Armenia and Moldovia would also be moving close to the Customs Union but for some time they are likely to be the first three countries outside the core.
Meanwhile, China is keen to form a major trade bloc with South Korea and Japan:
"China's intention is to first form a Northeast Asian economic cooperation that excludes the U.S. while Japan can't sit still as South Korea advances to the Chinese market with Korea-China free trade talks," said Heo Yoon, a professor at Sogang University Graduate School of International Studies.
It's easy to imagine other countries that are part of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Free Trade Area joining the group if and when formal negotiations get underway, not least because ASEAN already has free trade agreements with China, Japan and South Korea.
Although bilateral trade agreements are hardly new -- Wikipedia lists dozens of them, some going back to the 1980s -- there has definitely been a step-change recently. Increasingly, the emphasis is on joining multilateral free trade agreements like TPP and TAFTA, involving significant numbers of countries. On the part of smaller nations, their interest is probably driven by a fear of getting shut out of key markets. But for the bigger players -- notably the US and EU -- it's a convenient way of imposing unpalatable policies not just on the citizens of other countries, but on their own, too.

The photo of Filomena Tobias extending a middle finger to ejected Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah at May 8's game against the Miami Heat went viral. USA TODAY Sports photographer Steve Mitchell captured a moment that captured the emotion of an intense sports rivalry. But if you were an editor, would you put it in the newspaper?
The Chicago Tribune makes news decisions about photographs on a case-by-case basis after a conversation among editors.
That conversation involves the different audiences who are likely to see the photo, the size of the image, and its play in the newspaper -- where it would appear and how prominently. And when a photo is shocking, that conversation includes whether the photo has news value and illustrates a news event worth covering.
That discussion began Thursday among editors of the Chicago Tribune considering what would go into Friday's newspaper. It already had been decided it would be used online at chicagotribune.com after a discussion.
Among the questions: Is there a before or after shot that shows the same emotion without the obscene gesture? For instance, the Tribune's John J. Kim took the photo on the left above.
What would you do?

Identification of the two principal suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings as two immigrant Chechen brothers who grew up in and around the heavily Muslim Caucasus region of Russia during a particularly violent period would seem to add a clarifying element to the already astounding events in Boston this week.
Evidence that the older of the two brothers had recently expressed increasingly jihadist thinking on social media sites adds a radical Islamist element to the mix.
But a picture is emerging of two young men who were, mostly, increasingly disaffected with their adopted home. It could be they were searching to assert an identity from the religious and political elements of a rootless and violence-marked upbringing, some terrorism and Central Asia experts say.
At least one relative, an uncle living in the US, told a Boston TV station Friday that the brothers were "losers" who were angry at others who were making it in America. "Anything to do with a religion is a fraud," the uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told Boston's Channel 7 News, adding that the brothers had been unable to settle down and get ahead, and were angry about that.
However the young men's roots in a violent region can't be dismissed, some experts say.
"Chechnya has a very brutal history. You can just imagine two young Chechen boys growing up [in that violence] and then being dropped in the United States," says Fiona Hill, an expert in Russia and its regional conflicts at the Brookings Institution in Washington. Noting how that could be "incredibly disorienting," she adds, "And here they are in their 20s, a classic time for people to search for identity."
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, the older brother shown wearing a dark cap in FBI photos released Thursday, appears to have posted religious videos that included references to the liberation of the Muslim regions of Central Asia before the bombings Monday and the shoot-out in Watertown early Friday in Boston where he was fatally wounded.
His younger brother, Dzhokar Tsarnaev, 19, the suspect shown wearing a white cap in FBI photos, was born in Kyrgyzstan but appears to have kept a page on a Russian social network where he identifies as Muslim and expresses interest in events in Chechnya, the predominantly Muslim Russian province where Russian authorities fought two ruthless wars in the 1990s and 2000s as separatists battled central Russian rule.
All of these elements could suggest that the Tsarnaev brothers carried out the marathon bombings as a result of some link to a foreign terrorist organization. But the more likely scenario, some experts say, is that the two immigrants were "lone wolves" perhaps inspired by a radical foreign ideology but acting more in a quest to assert an identity.
"These are not Chechen rebels, this is not a Chechen operation," says Mark Ensalaco, a terrorism expert at the University of Dayton. "My hypothesis would be that these were lone wolves who may have been inspired by jihadist ideology, but who were acting more for psychological reasons and gravitated towards a radical ideology as they sought to overcome their disaffection [with their adopted land] by asserting a sense of identity."
The two brothers are thought to have come to the United States in 2002, by way of Turkey. They have relatives on the US East Coast, but their father lives in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan – one of the more radicalized regions of the Caucasus.
In one social media post, the older brother, Tamerlan, claims not to have "a single American friend" and says of Americans "I don't understand them." Yet the boxer who competed for New England in the 2010 National Golden Gloves competition is identified in a picture caption as dreaming of participating in the Olympics and preferring to "compete for the United States [rather] than for Russia.…Unless his native Chechnya becomes independent."
While the younger brother was a naturalized US citizen, Tamerlan was a legal immigrant with a Green Card work permit.
Brookings' Ms. Hill says the brothers may have ended up in Boston because the city has a sizable immigrant population from the Caucasus. But she adds that they were likely marked by a violent past.
"Their whole experience has been one of their people basically being persecuted, killed, maimed," she theorizes. She says that Dagestan (where their father lives and where they seem to have spent some years) "has become one of the most radical places in Russia now, because there is just so much disaffection, both with the local government and with the central Russian government."
Yet the picture emerging is more one of two brothers – perhaps where the older, more disaffected brother is influencing his younger sibling – who are lashing out as a means of asserting an identity, Dayton's Mr. Ensalaco says.
"There is no evidence at this point that these young men received any type of foreign radical training, but there does seem to be strong evidence of a radicalization through social media and contact with radical websites," he says, noting that Tamerlan appears to have visited sites including some affiliated with Al Qaeda.
Looking back over past decades, Ensalaco says there are famous cases of "lone wolf" terrorists who "latched on" to a cause or ideology as a pretext for carrying out their violent acts.
"I'd say these guys were identifying with this cause [jihadism] for psychological reasons," he says, "but from what we've seen so far, any indoctrination they received came online" and may indeed have been one way – one or both men visiting websites but not necessarily contacting anyone at the other end.
"Their bombs weren't very sophisticated, and they don't seem to have had any escape plan," Ensalaco says. "That doesn't suggest any degree of training."

Optimus Wrecks
Some cake designs are so popular, I get to see all kinds of Wrecky variations. I'm having way too much fun with it, too; the other day I was positively giddy when I received my 5th Costco Princess & the Frog themed Wreck (stay tuned for that post). Yep, I need to get out more. In the meantime, though, let me share my Transformers Wrecks collection with y'all.
First, the "official" design, for reference:
So no matter what, you know someone's going to have purple poo in the morning.
Here's Wreck #1, or as I like to call it, Magma Madness:
But, you know, orange magma... red flames: at least they're related.
Next, Wreck #2: the Crackling Blood Bath:
Kinda hurts to look at, doesn't it?
And finally, behind Wrecky Door #3:
The Bubbly Stuff That Would Not Be Named. I think it's growing, too; it seems to be creeping insidiously up over the inscription.
Beth W., Cades, & Jennifer N., your cakes may not have gotten their flames in icing, but at least they got flamed here on Wrecks. Eh?

Bits and pieces from the local sports scene.
Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman returns from injury: Still recovering from minor back surgery last month, Burroughs High graduate Eben Britton missed the team's season opener last week.
Although he's still not up to speed, Britton saw limited time Sunday in Jacksonville's 32-3 loss to the New York Jets.
"[Britton's] not quite ready to play a full game," Jaguars head Coach Jack Del Rio told the Florida Times-Union. "The plan was to [play him] 10 to 15 plays. His conditioning is getting better. He should be able to return to full duty probably next week."
Britton, 23, a 6-foot-6, 310-pound tackle, suffered a ruptured disk in August while weightlifting.
The Jaguars will play at the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Area equestrian captures world title: Burbank resident Christine Hocutt-Senteney won the Reserve World Championship in Western Horsemanship at the 2011 Adequan Select American Quarter Horse World Championship Show on Aug, 31 in Amarillo, Texas.
Hocutt-Senteney showed her homebred American Quarter Horse, Bellieve Hes Blazing, a 1998 brown gelding.
In the Western Horsemanship class, 67 entries competed for world champion honors and a purse of $13,200. Hocutt-Senteney and Bellieve Hes Blazing received a prize package that included a custom-designed silver trophy, specially designed logoed jacket sponsored by Cripple Creek Outerwear, Montana Silversmiths buckle sponsored by The American Quarter Horse Journal and a Tex Tan product and a rosette with medallion.
The Adequan Select World Show is the world's largest, single-breed world championship horse show open exclusively to amateur exhibitors age 50 and older. It is the pinnacle for Select competitors around the world who must qualify for the event by earning a predetermined number of points to compete in each of the 41 classes representing Halter, English and Western disciplines. The 1,290 entries at this year's event represented competitors from 42 states, Canada, Germany and Argentina.
Local ties for second in national equestrian event: Rison Harrison Naness, a 14-year-old resident, competed in the 2011 United States Equestrian Federation Dressage Seat Medal Finals Aug. 27 at Dressage at Lamplight in Wayne, Ill., near Chicago.
In the USEF Dressage Seat Medals Finals, Harrison Naness tied for second with a score of 73%. Bronwyn Cordiak won the division with a score of 78%.
Harrison Naness, who trains at the Paddock Riding Club in Los Feliz, advanced to the competition by placing among the top two finishers in a regional qualifier last October.
She was able to raise more than $5,500 by fundraising yo pay for her trip to the competition.

After barely-squeaking through a week of being too sick to do much more than work and sleep - and neither of those things to any real degree of effectiveness - i have never been more grateful than I am right now for Platex Purple Plastic Dish Gloves.
I try to keep the a/c off as much as possible when the kids aren't home, because (like pimpin') a/c ain't easy. When my March electric bill, with no ramp up or warning or anything, leaps straight for the clitoris and exactly doubles itself, I find myself willing to endure a little more in-home sauna experience than usual. Which you'd know is really saying something, if you've ever smelled me in the summer.
Sex Education aside, because you totally forgot about this, didn't you? You're welcome:
My kids have pretty much been left to their own devices this week, because my skin, something inside and under both my right rib cage and right hip bone, and all the glands from my belly button up declared mutiny this week, and so there has been a lot of breakfast-cereal-with-a-side-of-Xbox for dinner which is great in an air-conditioned college dormroom, but isn't so idea inside the tandoor ovens they try to pass off as Real Estate in the Sun Valley.
Lucky-Charms-milk left out on the counter for just two or three hours in the desert heat turns was the inspriration for The Leprechaun. Fact*. You should probably just take my word for that.
And so now it's Mother's Day, I'm off the Lance Armstrong dose of predanose, and I have a week of dishes to catch up on. Because nothing says Happy Mother's Day like opening up your dishwasher and finding all your good mugs stained damn near black from tea, and probably your mother in law's soul.
You see, my mother in law, who I've managed to say pretty close to not a single word to since her son and I broke up once and for all, came to spend some quality grandma time with 3of3 while the boys and I hit the road for Mom 2.013. Which was very nice of her. I kind of thought the giant super fancy dishrack on the counter, the purple dish gloves hanging over the faucet, and the utter lack of dishwasher detergent in the cabinet would have been clue enough that we don't really use the dishwasher in this house, and if you leave all of your dishes in there, I'm going to find them a week later having just come off of Autoimmunopocalypse and you are going to cease being my best friend.
It wasn't.
Maybe I should stop talking to her in smoke signals and hints and grow the fuck up.
And so I'll be spending most of Mother's Day wearing a scrunchie and Playtex Plastic Purple Dish Gloves, scorching the last week's yuck off of our dishes, then our floors, then the laundry, and bleaching my ex-mother in law out of my Starbucks Architectural Mug collection while my not-so-little one spend the day with their father going to see Iron Man and swimming and yard-saling and doing whatever it is they do on his days with them that don't have anything to do with me anymore - so that when they get home tonight, we can just be. Together. With no distractions. Because the only Mother's Day present I need or want is to be theirs**.
**That, and I have the a/c set to 76 today. And I have the whole house to myself. #rebel

Transcription and RNA Processing
I know it's kind of a dumb question, but DNA replication, transcription and mRNA processing occur in the nucleus, correct? Of these processes, do all of them occur specifically in the nucleolus or does that apply for only ribosomal RNA? I got to the last slide of the last lecture of Exam II material and I'm a bit confused about whether tRNA and mRNA are made in the same place as rRNA.
This can get confusing, so it's always ok to ask. Yes, all three of those processes occur in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. But only rRNA transcription and processing (and ribosomal subunit assembly) occur in the nucleolar region of the nucleus. All other genes that are transcribed are being transcribed in the interchromosomal territories next to exposed regions of euchromatin near that particular chromosome's "territory."

potted pumpkin pies
My friend asked me to make little potted pumpkin pies for her witch party last weekend. They were super easy to make and look great in a big stack! I think these would be a nice addition at a Halloween party or to add a little twist to Thanksgiving dinner.
Make your favorite pumpkin pie recipe (I used this recipe from Everyday Food). I doubled the recipe which gave me enough filling for roughly 20 little mason jars. Fill the jars, stopping about 3/4" from the top. Bake at the usual temperature, but start watching them carefully after about 25 minutes since they won't take as long to bake as a pie. Pull them out when the center seems set (mine took about 35 minutes). Let cool for an hour or so, then throw them in the fridge while you make the whipped cream.
The whipped cream recipe includes a bit of unflavored gelatin, which you dissolve in some water and then fold in. I worried this would change the texture of the cream, but not to worry, the whipped cream was delicious and the gelatin helps it keep its shape so it doesn't fall the way ordinary cream would when left out for a bit. Spoon some cream into each of your jars, filling all the way up to the top, and screw on your lid. Return your jars to the fridge until you are ready to serve. These can be made up to a day ahead.
A few shortbread cookies or ginger snaps would be nice for a little crunch.
