Islamic State thwarts Syrian government forces on two fronts
Syrian government troops failed on two fronts Monday to reverse gains by fighters loyal to the Islamic State, a sign that the insurgents who've captured half of Iraq are capable of battling Syria's government as well.
Anti-government activists said 14 government troops were killed in battles for two villages outside the east Syrian city of Deir el Zour. The Syrian army fared no better in an attempt to recapture the Shaer gas field near in the ancient city of Palmyra, losing six soldiers and failing to dislodge the Islamic State fighters.
The clash in Deir el Zour was the latest sign that the Islamic State, which had frontally attacked the regime only once before _ in the desert near Homs _ is prepared to fight it as the opportunity arises. A member of the Islamist movement told McClatchy that it intends to remove the regime of President Bashar Assad from Deir el Zour province altogether.
The latest confrontation began Friday when the Islamic State, which now controls more than 35 percent of Syria, ordered the last remnant of U.S.-backed Free Syrian Army troops in the province to leave the towns of Ayyash and Ien Al Bujuma'a. This created a temporary power vacuum that government forces attempted to fill by setting up checkpoints around the towns.
The Islamic State launched an attack Saturday that ended with it seizing the two towns and killing 14 government soldiers and three officers.
Activists said regime troops apparently were trying to advance toward Ayyash in a bid to protect military depots in a neighboring area of Badyat Ayyash, said to contain the third biggest depots for weapons and ammunition in Syria.
Masar Press, an opposition news agency, said the Islamic State continued its assault Monday when it stormed Al Masrab, a third village controlled by the regime in the western countryside. There, the Islamists arrested members of the National Defense Force, a pro-government militia, and blew up their houses. According to unconfirmed reports, the Islamic State also captured a fourth town, Al Kharita.
Clashes between the Islamic State and the regime were also reported inside the city of Deir el Zour, in the Al Hawika and Al Jubaila districts, as well as around the military airport, the last major strongholds of the regime in the province.
Anti-regime local coordinating committees reported that the Syrian army responded to its losses with heavy shelling of districts controlled by the Islamic State, another indication that the era of tacit cooperation between the army and the Islamists was over, at least in eastern Syria.
A member of the Islamic State forces told McClatchy that Emir Abu Omar Al Shishani, the top officer in the area, told them that the Islamic State will remove the regime from the entire province of Deir el Zour. The Islamic State member, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters, added that the military situation in the area is fully under the control of the group, in particular Deir el Zour's western countryside.
Meanwhile, in the Homs Desert, six regime soldiers were killed Monday morning when the Syrian army made its third unsuccessful attempt to take back the Shaer gas field, which the Islamic State seized last week, killing more than 200 soldiers.
Observers near the scene reported Sunday that at least 60 government troops died in ambiguous circumstances during a government air assault to regain the field. Activists close to the Islamic State said that these soldiers were special forces and that the regime air force bombed them, mistaking them to be fighters of the Islamic State.
The Syrian government, which has come under growing criticism from soldiers' families for suppressing the news, has not confirmed the losses, nor that a large number were killed by friendly fire. The official news agency SANA reported that many "terrorists were killed in the Palmyra countryside."
The capture of nearly all Syria's oil and gas has proved a financial bonanza for the Islamic State, which appears to be trying to win the hearts and minds of Iraqis and Syrians by guaranteeing low oil prices.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based anti-government group, said fuel tankers with Iraqi license plates and driven by Iraqi nationals have entered Syria and reached Al Omar oilfield near Deir el Zour in the last few days, waiting to be filled with oil before they return to Iraq through the territory controlled by the Islamic State.
The observatory said the group is selling oil to Syrian dealers for $12 a barrel, on the condition that those dealers sell them for no more than $18 a barrel to civilians, in an attempt to win support from people living in territories under its control.

The singer looks as spectacular as always in a series of glamorous poses that show the star's playful side. However, as far as the interview goes, things go a bit deeper as the star touches more personal aspects. For instance, Taylor speaks about one of her most controversial songs, "Dear John" hoping to put an end to gossip once and for all as far as her ex's a... Read More

Wow Michel that is just superb! If you don't win the first prize (again!) with this project, I will be so surprised - it's wonderful. And you "saved" $2800 making it from spare timber... Perhaps you should make some more and sell them!
It's a beautiful tree-shelf, though I am a bit puzzled how it will stay together with gorilla glue... which bits are glued and which are fixed with screws? Maybe you could clarify that in your project notes? (or maybe I'm just dense and it really is all held together with glue!).

Quick switch: Hatch backs 'Plan B'
The top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee reversed course and announced his support for House Speaker John Boehner's back-up plan allowing tax rates on millionaires to increase, showing how volatile the issue has become among congressional Republicans.
Earlier Wednesday, Sen. Orrin Hatch, the conservative Utah Republican who sits atop the powerful tax-writing committee, said that while he supports the speaker and his efforts to avoid the fiscal cliff, he'd oppose the Boehner plan if it comes to the Senate for a vote.
Story Continued Below
"Yeah I would," Hatch told POLITICO on Wednesday when asked if he'd vote against the plan. "I would vote against it because I am against raising rates."
( PHOTOS: 12 Republicans resigned to higher taxes)
Hatch said that the Boehner plan could pass on the backs of Democrats in Congress — not Republicans, who are fundamentally opposed to raising tax rates on any income group.
"Let's put it this way – it's up to the Democrats to enact, not us," Hatch said in the basement of the Capitol. "They have the votes to enact it."
But after his comments were reported, Hatch went to the Senate floor and said he'd vote for the proposal if he were a member of the House, calling it "a plan of necessity."
"Mr. President, my preference is clear – I have legislation that this body voted on in August that shows what I believe is the better path," Hatch said Wednesday afternoon. "But I also understand that given the reality before us that the speaker has to move forward with a plan to force action.
"Is it perfect from my perspective? No, but we cannot let the perfect be the enemy of the good," Hatch said. "I hope [House Republicans] support this plan – if I was a member of the House, I would."
Hatch's reversal shows how tricky the issue remains for House and Senate Republicans. Fundamentally, they oppose any tax increases. But, facing the fiscal cliff with no accord in sight, the GOP is trying to project a sense of unity and show that it is actively seeking a compromise.

As a somewhat "mobile" journalistA description for the word journalist that goes on and on a bit that goes on and on a bit that goes on and on a bit., I carry a lot of things inside my backpack whenever I get to go out to cover something (even though I'm technically an editor and I'm supposed to be at my desk, but whatevs!)
Because I also work and experiment with mobile 360/VR journalism, I carry some extra equipment. So I try to make it so that the accessories and cables can be interchangeable, and that the equipment can help me cover something efficiently for quick publication in our small newsroom.
What follows is a list of the equipment I carry when I go out.
I have two phones, one personal and one for work. I currently have an iPhone 6 and a 7 with ATT and Verizon. I also carry an iPad mini 2nd gen, but that has no data plan so I'm not including it here. Because of the work with 360 cameras, I have found myself repeatedly using the two phones at the same time, including using one as a hotstop for other devices or to live stream while doing other things. Suffice it to say that a smartphone is indispensable and all other devices and accessories are dependent on it.
360 cameras
I have three, not because I need these many cameras but because they are getting better and cheaper quickly and I'm starting to have a collection:
- I started with the Ricoh Theta S, which uses wifi and it's the official company camera. It shoots 1080p video, which is too low in resolution for actual workable video, so nowadays we just use it to quickly upload photos to Google Maps, using the StreetView app. We have a bunch of photos. I once live-streamed from it using a hack with a laptop and a phone for data, but it was pretty cumbersome (it did allow me to put other floating elements – a video and a logo – within the live stream, but resolutionThe number of pixels in an image, typically presented as a ratio of the total pixels on x axis to the total pixels on th... More was too low).
- Next up is the Insta360 Nano, and this little guy delivers. Video is 2K and its smartphone app allows you to upload quickly to Facebook or Youtube, plus you can live stream to Facebook, Periscope or Youtube. It's better used clipped to a phone. This is the cheapest of the cameras.
- The Insta360 One is a recent entry in the consumer 360 camera landscape and is now my default camera to shoot video (at 4K) and photos (24MP). As with the nano, you can live stream when attached to a phone, but its app and stabilizers really set it apart.
- The first pole I obtained was a basic monopod to replace the bulkiness of a tripod, which didn't fit in my backpad (collapsed, the monopod barely does, at an angle). the monopod extends to 67 inches.
- I have a selfie stick with a stand that I've used repeatedly — and not for selfies! It can also be attached to the monopod. Add the Insta360 One to the top, and you've got yourself a floating camera.
- I have a clamp with a phone mount, which you can pretty much attach to anything, including your bike as you live-stream in 360. That's the clamp attached to the bike, holding an iPhone with an Insta360 nano. For this purpose, I add rubber bands to secure the phone, the 360-camera and the clamp, just in case.
- I also have a super clamp, one of the heaviest things in the backpack and not one thing that needs to be brought to cover all events. The mandatory flex arm to go with it is pretty heavy as well, and I fold it in a "U" shape so it fits in the backpack. You can attach the selfie stick to the top of the super clamp and that'll open up more choices for where your 360 camera can be placed. If you use the Insta360 One, it will look like the camera is floating.
- I have a Jellyfish tripod mount and that can be used in a number of combinations with a phone and a 360 camera, including a monopod or a clamp. It can help with live-streaming in 360 from very unique angles or just from very high up.
- Duct tape. Solves all the problems. ALL OF THEM.
- I have a micro SD card for the Insta 360 Nano. I use 64GB to keep me from going overboard.
- I have two portable batteries, one old one I can't recommend anymore because it's garbage and I can't even, and a KMASHI battery (which I got as a #wjchat Secret Festivus present!) that can charge two devices at the same time. It's saved me from going dark a number of times. The 360 camera, phone, and data plan will consume more energy than normal and you'll need it for anything longer than an hour.
- Asparagus rubber bands. I get nervous when I attach the phone to the Insta 360 cameras, so I use the rubber bands to secure them to the phones and the phones to whatever is holding them. The issue with the Insta360 cameras is that your phone can't use a protective case (I have Otter Box heavy duty cases; don't mess with your phones, kids), so the rubber bands make sure that nothing flies away when your phone and 360-degree camera are attached to a monopod or clamp. Also, asparagus is delicious.
- Expansion screws. I have two small expansions that I initially was using to be able to plug the Ricoh Theta while using it (which I still use when using the Theta). But nowadays is mostly used in conjunction with the Jellyfish tripod mount or just to give the camera a bit more distance. They're easier to screw and unscrew on clamps and monopods, so they come in handy often.
- Cables and plugs. I have two iPhones and three cameras so I carry at least two lighting cables and three USB cables, with 3 power adapters that work with USB in case I can plug somewhere.
- Lens cleaner. The Insta360 Nano came with one, but I had one just in case. The 360 camera lenses are exposed, so you'll find yourself cleaning them often.
- I also have a 360/VR viewer (cardboard) to do quick demos. I used to carry a Homido clip, which was good, until it broke, which was not good.
Not pictured: Sometimes I bring my laptop in the backpack if I know I'm going to be writing something from the field. But mostly I can upload from the phone itself, so I'm not including it.
I should also note that, partially, the reason I carry all these things is because I'm also likely taking photos, regular videos and sending live updates from the field, if I'm to cover something or help others with coverageMultiple shots from multiple angles to capture the events in a scene (i.e. master shot, medium shots, close-ups, inserts... More. There's no need to bring the kitchen sink if you know what you're covering and how. Also, I wouldn't impose on others the tasks I give myself, so make sure you just bring the right equipment for the story.
And yes, I know it looks like a lot of things. But it all fits neatly!

text: "Law & Order" is a blended police procedural and courtroom drama set in New York City. Often derived from real-life headlines, the show's structure is two-part, with the first half focused on the criminal investigation, and the latter half set in the courtroom. Despite being known for its revolving cast, the series managed to keep a unifying identity even as its familiar faces were replaced with new ones over the years. "Law & Order" creates tension and suspense through the complex interaction of its many characters, from the criminals to the defense attorneys, any of which can have shadowy intentions hidden up their sleeves. In addition to the tension and twists, the chemistry among the cast mainstays kept viewers emotionally engaged over two decades.

Vegetable Soup
Vegetable soup is a great way to get a variety of vegetables in your diet, even in the middle of winter. Yes, while fresh tomatoes and green beans always taste better from a summer harvest, many frozen vegetables work pretty well in soups, allowing for the making of a hearty, homemade, vegetable soup. This soup is more stew like. If you prefer a soupier consistency just use more vegetable broth, or add in some water.

Speaking Tuesday on the spring Pac-12 football coaches teleconference, Colorado's Jon Embree said he is hopeful that the quarterback battle in August will involve at least three top candidates – including a pair recovering from offseason surgery.
By default, sophomore Connor Wood (6-foot-3, 235 pounds), a transfer from Texas, took most of the snaps with the first-team offense during spring drills. Sophomore Nick Hirschman (6-4, 230) was expected to duel Wood in the spring, but Hirschman could not participate in team work after undergoing his third foot surgery since last August.
Embree has said that he expects incoming freshman Shane Dillon also to be a factor in the quarterback competition. But Dillon, a 6-foot-6, 195-pounder from El Cajon (Calif.) Christian in suburban San Diego, underwent surgery on Feb. 13 to repair a torn labrum in his right (throwing) shoulder.
"Nick is fine," Embree said on the teleconference. "And I think Shane will be doing some throwing probably mid-June. He's ahead of schedule."
An experienced quarterback could also join the competition. Confirming widespread reports, Embree called it "a possibility" that former Kansas quarterback Jordan Webb would be added to the CU roster as a graduate transfer.
Webb, a two-year starter for the Jayhawks, would be able to play immediately for Colorado as a graduate with remaining eligibility. He would be a fourth-year junior this fall.
"We'll see what happens with Jordan," Embree said.
Webb (6-0, 210) threw for 1,884 yards and 13 touchdowns with 12 interceptions last fall for the 2-10 Jayhawks but was told by new KU coach Charlie Weis that he is not in the program's future plans.
Embree said he was pleased with the progress made by Wood during the spring. Embree said he has no set timetable to determine his 2012 starting quarterback.
"We'll have to be creative (during August camp) and make sure we give them some quality reps — by day, and maybe by drill," Embree said.
"I'll play it by ear (on the decision); I'll have a feel for it," he added. "It's kind of like the kicking game last year. My gut instinct told me that Will Oliver was our guy. We did some stuff and we felt like he was going to be our guy, so we named him (the starter).
"When I know, I'll definitely make an announcement. If it's a clear-cut deal, I'm not going to waste time. I think it's important that the team knows and obviously that the quarterbacks know that he is going to be leading the team."
Two redshirt-freshman quarterbacks also are on the roster: John Schrock (6-4, 215) and Stevie Joe Dorman (6-3, 205).

Watering the garden – the Lalbagh story
Even for the garden city with its many parks Lalbagh is iconic. Spread over 240 acres with 1854 species of plants on display it is a botanical dream. Started in 1760 by Hyder Ali as a private garden it was spread over just 40 acres when it began. Dr Francis Buchanan in his famous travelogue in 1800 writes " The gardens are extensive and divided into square plots divided by walks the sides of which are ornamented with fine Cypress trees…..want of water is the principal defect of these gardens for in this arid country everything during the dry season must be artificially watered. The garden of Tippoo is supplied from 3 wells, the water of which is raised by the 'capilly' or leather bag, fastened to a cord passing over a pulley and wrought by a pair of bullocks which descend on an inclined plane. "
The open well at Lalbagh – Circa 1760 ? Did it have a Capilly ?
So it was that on a Saturday when one was invited to visit the Lalbagh to help look at the water situation that one was excited. The small tank then serving Lalbagh has now expanded to cover 20 acres. The Bangalore Development Authority has invested over 2.5 crores in expanding and improving the tank. Storm water feeders to the tank are now regularized and cleaned from cow-dung and animal waste which once used to flow in. A small sewage treatment plant has been set up at one side of the park where domestic sewage from surrounding areas is trapped, treated and stored in a reservoir for watering the park. Up-to 1.5 million litres per day can be treated and made available to the park. The cost of the treated water for Lalbagh comes at an economical Rs 15 per kilo-litre. If there is excess then treated waste-water can be led into the lake for storage to further recharge the groundwater.
9 bore-wells have been drilled to supplement the treated waste-water for use to water the park. These have varying depths but the deepest is about 370 feet.
What was however a discovery was the 3 wells in the original 40 acre campus. Were these the original wells from 1760? Most probably yes but more investigations are due. The wells were unused and some had waste strewn in them. It is however definitely possible to clean them up and de-silt them. All the wells had water and the water was at 15 to 20 feet thanks most probably to the large lake up-stream . The stone lining was intact except the parapet needed repairs.
It would be wonderful if the wells could be cleaned up and brought into life. Wells need the least amount of energy to pump water since the head to which water is to be lifted is less and therefore have the lowest cost for water. To use well water makes economic and ecological sense.
The old tank at Lalbagh – now rejuvenated and made larger
As a water heritage even the 'Kapile', the 'Yeta' and the Persian Wheel can be fitted to the wells to remind us of a glorious water heritage. This will be another attraction of Lalbagh apart from its lovely flowers, plants and trees.
Lalbagh shows how a verdant green park can cater to its water needs by investing in smart sustainable solutions. Preserving and enhancing a lake, using treated waste water, using groundwater and reviving open wells is a mini integration of water management.
There is of course much more of a need to monitor the quality of the lake water, ensure that the sewage treatment plant works constantly and well, that the hydro-geology and groundwater table is mapped and understood and that shallow aquifer sources are integrated better into the water system.
All these water structures could be made more informative and display boards informing local citizens and visitors of how these systems work can only enhance water literacy. That is water wisdom.

Online sales tax bill unveiled -- again
Lawmakers unveiled Thursday what they hope will be the final federal online sales tax bill, promising that this will be the year Congress deals with the issue.
The Marketplace Fairness Act, which resolves differences between three similar bills introduced in the last Congress, would give states the power to require out-of-state online retailers to collect sales tax.
Story Continued Below
Currently, most states with sales tax rely on residents to independently pay tax to the state on their online purchases, but few consumers do.
"This bill does not tell the states they have to do it; it just enables them to do it," Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) said at a press conference announcing the bill. "How many more small brick-and-mortar obituaries do we have to see before we recognize that we have a problem?"
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), one of the bill's co-sponsors, said he asked Sen. Max Baucus, chairman of the Finance Committee, to "make this a priority."
"Harry Reid wants to bring this to the floor," he said.
Last year's bills garnered bipartisan support but stalled in both chambers. The question is whether this is the year for a federal online sales tax law. Supporters of the bill point to the bipartisan group of 53 senators and representatives behind the legislation as a sign of the bill's momentum.
Opponents say the new bill, despite tweaks from previous bills, doesn't change the debate and essentially imposes new taxes on online businesses. They say that online retailers, particularly smaller ones, would be burdened with thousands of tax jurisdictions as they try to calculate a consumer's tax.
Rey Ramsey, TechNet's president and chief executive, said that the bill "would threaten economic growth and penalize innovative e-commerce businesses. We need to protect American entrepreneurs and oppose this bill."
The Marketplace Fairness Act comes as some states have pushed for online retailers such as Amazon to begin collecting sales tax. In the 2012 Christmas shopping season, residents in California, Texas and Pennsylvania were automatically charged state sales tax at the checkout on Amazon and some other retail sites. Other states are making similar changes.
But in most of these cases, only retailers who have some sort of physical presence in the state are required to collect the sales tax. The federal bill allows states to require online retailers to collect sales tax even if the retailer doesn't have a physical presence in the state.
Supporters say online businesses have benefited unfairly from the different tax treatments and that states and local governments have been deprived of revenue.

THOUSAND OAKS >> Zach Johnson entered the media tent at the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge on Thursday, just steps in front of a pizza delivery man.
Given the unfortunate timing with the man holding food, Johnson surely wasn't the most popular man in the room, despite being awfully well-liked in golf circles.
When a PGA Tour official announced Johnson was in the interview room, a reporter jokingly asked why within Johnson's earshot.
Johnson playfully closed the reporter's laptop with authority.
And Johnson also played Sherwood Country Club with authority on Thursday, shooting a 5-under 67 — despite bogeying the final hole — to take a one-shot lead after the first round.
The 37-year-old Johnson is one in the 18-player field who wouldn't dare decline this invitation.
"My outlook is that if I get in this event, I'm going to play," Johnson said. "You can argue it's one of the best events of the year for a number of reasons. The list is long. I love playing in December. I like to play one week in December, and this is one to play in because you're playing just normal golf.
"You're playing twosomes against a normal field, just like a normal Tour event with no cut and a great purse. I guess it's the best players in the world. There's world ranking points involved, so that's another advantage."
The disadvantage for those who like Sherwood is that the tournament is moving to Florida after a 15-year-run, 14 years of which were at Sherwood.
Woods is very much in the hunt with a 1-under 71, which puts him four shots behind Johnson.
Johnson is still best-known for his win at the 2007 Masters. His Twitter photo is one of him wearing the green jacket and sitting at the interview table from six years ago.
That major still means so much to the Iowa native. Weather conditions seem to favor Johnson and Stricker, who lives in Wisconsin and already has Tweeted a picture of the snow on his practice facility.
The tournament was delayed about an hour because of frost Thursday, but Johnson doesn't think that gives him an edge.
"I don't mind it," Johnson said. "If there's one thing I've learned, my blood is starting to thin out living in the South now. I prefer a warmer temperature. However, today was nice. It wasn't that windy."
Woods has won the event five times, and with three more rounds and a Hollywood-like ending if he can win in his final start at Sherwood, the lead is anything but comfortable for Johnson. And Matt Kuchar is just one shot back after a 4-under 68.
"I was aggressive when I needed to be aggressive, and I was conservative when I needed to be conservative," Johnson said. "It's nothing more than a decent start."
Before Johnson fielded a question, he asked reporters a question of his own. He wanted an update on Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston. Johnson was busy playing golf Thursday and didn't see the wall-to-wall television coverage in which the state attorney said no charges were being filed against Winston, who was accused of sexual assault. He is quarterbacking the top-ranked Seminoles.
Johnson didn't give an opinion, but was clearly interested in the outcome of that case.
Jason Dufner was interested in Auburn's football team and had a popular tweet to Woods before the tournament in which he jokingly petitioned to play all four rounds in two days so he could have the weekend off to watch Auburn face Missouri in the SEC Championship game. He shot a 2-over 74 and might have plenty of time to watch that game on Saturday.
Graeme McDowell, the defending champion, shot an even 72 and is tied for sixth, and Rory McIlroy is tied for eighth after a 1-over-73.
Johnson would love to be holding the winner's trophy on Sunday. He nearly pulled off a win in 2011, when he went toe-to-toe with host Woods, who eventually won.
"I just look at this as a great opportunity to get ready for next year," Johnson said.
If Thursday is any indication, Johnson's game looks good. And he's in good position, unless he's following the pizza delivery guy.

Around this time of year I start getting nostalgic for summers in Massachusetts.
Well, certain aspects of summers in Massachusetts. I can do without the jam-packed subways every other day when there's a Red Sox home game. And how loud and obnoxious the restaurants and bars in Back Bay get when fans spill out of Fenway. Or basically anything team sports-related. But I do miss plenty. The gorgeous red glow of the Charles River at sunset. The 4th of July fireworks on the Esplanade. The beaches on the North Shore. And oh yes, the clams.
To say that New Englanders adore clams is an understatement. We have beach-side celebrations centered around big platters of steamed clams and other crustaceans drizzled with butter. We have an entire summer festival devoted to clam chowder, during which you taste many samples of hot chowder outdoors under an even hotter sun. And every town along the shore with a patch of beach has at least a handful of clam shacks serving up fried whole-belly clams with tartar sauce, on or off a hotdog bun, an only-in-New-England thing that's almost impossible find anywhere else.
As much as I've been craving a gigantic plate of fried clams with fries or onion rings or both, I also know something would get lost making it at home. Because, really, fried clams taste the best when you're finally sitting down for lunch after few hours on the beach, a little fried yourself, in a still-drying bathing suit and sandy flip-flops.
To satisfy my craving for clams, I turned to a sake-steamed clam recipe from Food & Wine. It uses smaller clams such as Manila clams and other cockles, and is a breeze to make after cleaning the clams. You simply steam it in a combination of sake and water for about 4 minutes, then (and this is where I get my New England-style clam fix) top with a few bits of butter. The original recipe called for an optional togarashi spice blend of cayenne pepper, sesame seeds, and seaweed, which I didn't have, so I improvised with cayenne, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. It came out very well, though I may try this with bits of nori next time.
Do you have any favorite ways or preparing clams, or want to share some favorite clam dishes you've tried?
Sake-Steamed Clams
Serves 4 as an appetizer or as part of a multi-course meal
- 2 pounds Manila clams, New Zealand clams, or cockles
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt or sea salt
- 1 cup sake
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into 4 or 5 pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- Pick through the clams and discard any that are not tightly closed (or close when tapped gently on the counter) or have chipped shells. Fill a large bowl with cold water and stir in the salt. Add the clams and let stand for 1 hour. (This draws out sand from inside the shells.) Drain the clams and rinse them well. If the shells seem gritty, scrub the outsides gently with a clean brush.
- In a deep saucepan, combine the sake and water and bring to a boil. Add the clams, cover with a lid, and steam for about 4 minutes. Uncover and discard any clams that have not opened.
- Ladle the clams and broth into a large serving bowl. Scatter the butter pieces over the clams. Top off with the sesame oil, sesame seeds, cayenne, and scallions. Serve immediately.

Hi Inger!
I have a 10 month-old Yorkie named P-Nut and although it took her a while, she is now housebroken and uses the doggie door regularly. In addition to her, we have a 4 year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix and a 13 year old cat. All get along famously, if you consider chewing on the cats head getting along!??! I minimize it, but also think the cat enjoys the playing…
We have tried leaving the puppy out of her crate while we are at work, which unfortunately can be about 10 hours a day with drive time, but when we return home, destruction of some sort has happened. Thank goodness it hasn't been anything of significant value, however, I am not wanting that day to come, so I have chosen to crate her again.
I hate the thought of her being in her crate for that long during the day and would like the two pups to be able to play during the day (cat is confined by a gate upstairs).
She goes into her crate willingly, so doesn't hate it. She of course is beyond excited when we get home, but then she is that way if we step outside for 3 minutes…
Any suggestions how to reduce her anxiety?
I have been reading and reading and there is no way that I can go home and take her out during the day, etc… It's about 30 minutes each way drive time. I considered corralling the doggie door, so they both can go in and out, but I'd think that with 2, I'd have to get quite a large corral.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Hi there M, thanks for the great question. P-Nut's so cute for a trouble maker!
Several important important issues pop out, that I need to explain. Your problem might not be what you think it is! Offering the use of a doggie door to a young pup does not teach your puppy how to hold the urge to go. Don't misunderstand me, in some environments dog doors are great, but when getting a new puppy, teaching them housebreaking basics is important. You see, pups need to chew. Especially, 10 month-old puppy's, yes even toy breeds! Chewing is a function of a puppy, way beyond the teething process! What they chew on becomes the possible bad behavior.
It sounds to me like there might be a little competition between your two dogs and maybe a bit of frustration involving the chew toys. This can happen when dogs are by themselves and one wants what the other has, and if that's not possible then destruction happens! When you're at work there could be a dominance vibe over chew bones by your older dog, that may not be evident when your home.
Sometimes in multiple dog homes the older dog can vibe chew bones or be chewing on a bone and the youngest pup only wants what the other dog is chewing! Even though you may have 20 toys on the floor, resulting in frustration and destruction.
This vibe can take place even if the older dog is not chewing any toy! A glance is all it takes between dogs who are trying to claim possession. So it may not be separation anxiety at all! My diagnosis is codependence between the two dogs mixed in with a little doggie hierarchy and a 10 month-old pup who needs to chew on something! She also may need the proper type of chew.
I always encourage people to teach a new puppy independence, with some form of gating as a protocol for training for a period of time. This ensures your 10 month-old pup's chewing needs are met while you're at work and teaches them to respect a boundary.
Paws For A Minute® – Quick TIp: doggie demolition- 7 steps to success.
1. Exercise is important and important for training. A tired dog is a good dog. Playtime together with both dogs is awesome and should be often. Occasionally, exercise them for a few minutes separately too.
2. Initiate going potty while your present: Perhaps before you go to work exercise both dogs and formalize the "going potty" process by you initiating it and being present.
3. Initiate going potty a second time before you leave: Formalize the process of going potty again before you leave for work. Formalize the process by taking each dog separately on leash for a quick potty break to ensure they have gone. Remember, your younger dog needs to be guided by you!
4. Apply a new temporary set up: Try this while you're at home (on the weekend) to start. Once safe apply during the week. Use a corral and put the crate within the corralled space but leave the crate door open. Make sure the coral is set up in a central area in your home. This allows her to go in and out of the crate and to learn to self-soothe and enjoy her own chew bone privately. She will learn to next and feel safe while not feeling confined. Your other dog can be loose. Start with small increments of time while your home. Then slowly build to longer periods. Remember, your 4 year-old dog doesn't have the same urge to chew, at least not with the same urgent impulse. Music helps set the tone.
5. Occasionally walk your dogs separately: This easy tip really helps train dogs to anticipate separation in a positive way, if only occasionally. The learn to accept the ritual of waiting for their turn to be walked. If you use a term such as "wait" with corralled space to designate the area, the dog that's waiting there turn to be walked can get a bully stick while waiting. This will divert the possible anxiety and teach them to wait their turn. Leave the ritual of play time for when you get home or perhaps before you leave for work.
6. Always leave water available in a corralled space: Make sure dogs have water and something safe to chew. Check with your vet to see what's safe for your breed of dog.I like to suggest a 12″ bully stick chew for toy breeds. It's the same size you'd give a big dog, but it's for safety reasons when your not home to monitor the chewing. Use your own common sense with chew toys.
7. Always try this new corralled space out on a weekend when you're home, first. To ensure success, try the corral set up and dog separation on the weekend when your home. So that you can correct any unwanted behaviors and have peace of mind that the process of separation is effective. Never wing it and see what happens.
In no time, she'll be an adult dog and you can leave them together with a doggie door access.The need to chew whether it's stuff they shouldn't or provided by you does subside with age but it remains a nice hobby for dogs through out there lives.

A Healthy Appetite
"Some fresh black pepper, sir? We find it accentuates the taste of the carrots quite nicely."
"Uh, really? Well, in that case, let 'er rip!"
Jody celebrated his "biethday" in Turkey, which explains the adorable inscription. As for the rest - I have no idea. Maybe the locals were trying to make a point about American eating habits? Is this the Turkish equivalent of those V8 commercials? Or - OR - is it possible there's some sugary Turkish treat that looks exactly like carrot sticks? (I'm holding out hope for that one.)
Ok, Patreesha, your mission is to eat some carrots with chocolate icing and tell us what it tastes like. Quicky, now! The rest of us NEED this information.

Food that's Bad for You, Disguised as...Food that's Bad for You
Some of you will think these are Sunday-worthy, but I find the concept of cake-as-greasy-meat-products just a wee bit wrecky. (And yes, that does make me a hypocrite: I confess I've made a pizza cake before.)
Here we have a nicely rendered cake-that-looks-like-a-corndog, wishing itself (or perhaps another corndog not pictured) a happy birthday. Um, my brain hurts just a little, Nicole E.
(Check out the source for some nifty giant cakes-that-look-like-donuts.)
A lot of you have submitted various versions of the burger n' fries model:
Most of these are pretty well-done [smirk], but Sara B. points out that the greasy shine and red icing "ketchup" are, shall we say, less than appetizing.
Plus, Thomas M. shows us that there can be such a thing as too much realism:
Those are REAL sesame seeds on the icing bun there. Here's hoping they didn't get carried away and salt the "fries", too.
Of course, on the other end of the spectrum is Emily B.'s find:
On the plus side, no one will mistake this for an actual burger. On the negative side, no one will mistake it for a cake, either.
Nancy was kind enough to share her "yellow cake chocolate pizza CCC" find:
Crafting a triangle-shaped slice of pizza from round-shaped cupcakes? Yeah, that's a good call. And why is the "crust" made from poo swirls?
Here Mrs. L. found the lazy version: it's a little sparse on toppings.
Of course, given that the "meatballs" are just mounds of solid icing, I guess we should be grateful there aren't more toppings. The crust looks better on this one, too.
Continuing in the Italian vein, spaghetti cakes are also pretty popular, and often disturbingly realistic. There's a great CCC example over on Flickr, but since I like to stick to pro creations (as opposed to procreations) here on Wrecks, I borrowed Melissa's of Wild Cakes to show you:
Ingenious food impersonation? Or nefarious sugary impostor? You decide!
(Melissa, you let me know if you've changed your mind about that whole "use anything you want from my site" thing, k? And thanks for being such a good sport.)
Speaking of grease and sugar, there's always the ultimate in wrecky flavor combos: the Pork n' Tomato Stuffed Chocolate Iced Donut from Bompass & Parr. If you're starting a diet for the new year, I highly recommend you check that out. Your waistline will thank me.

creamy peanut butter
semisweet chocolate pieces
chocolate-flavored candy coating*
Edible flower petals and/or lavender buds (optional)
- In a heavy small saucepan, bring whipping cream just to boiling. Remove from heat. Add peanut butter, stirring until combined. Add chocolate pieces, stirring until melted and smooth. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart baking dish. Cover and chill about 1 hour or until firm.

The bedroom is a place for relaxation and rejuvenation so you need to make sure that you're happy with all of your bedroom furniture so that you can enjoy a truly recharging night's sleep.
We have a range of quality mattress options that will send you off to sleep soothingly from top brands like King Koil, Sealy and more, which will go perfectly when paired with a Tempur pillow – designed to mould to your sleeping position and provide superior support. We also offer a duvet range of the best quality, designed to keep you comfortable even when it hits the hotter months.
Do you have guests over? Don't make them sleep on the couch. With our pull out bed, folding bed or trundle bed options they can get equally comfy. Looking to make the most out of the space in your bedroom? A bunk bed or loft bed is perfect for this.
There's no use getting a quality mattress or quilt without keeping it clean from any accidents or spills, so why don't you pair it with a duvet cover, mattress protector or mattress topper for extra piece of mind?
A bedroom isn't just about your bed though, it's also about the furniture that you surround yourself with and store things in. We have beds that can be adjusted and feature extra storage compartments, so that you can save space and things look tidier. Complete the look of your bedroom while giving yourself some handy storage options with a bedside table that matches your bed head's look.
