We rented the Inlet Cottage behind the main house for a week. It's a perfect little getaway from home. The eat in kitchen had everything we needed (except the food, which he brought). The bathroom has a washer and dryer which was great to have on hand so we didn't have to worry about dirty laundry or getting to a laundramat. There are outdoor showers with hot and cold water which was great for showering off the sand when returning from a day at the beach, with tracking it into the house or getting it in the bathroom. The bedroom is upstairs with a king size bed and a walk out to a deck. While there isn't much to see from the deck but the back of the main house and yard, it was nice to have to enjoy a cup of morning coffee or admire the full moon enjoying a glass of wine. The bathroom shower is a little small (and I'm petite), but not a problem. There is a pull out sofabed in the living room if you had overnight guests. As it is a summer cottage, you need to bring your own sheets and towels, but that is fine. Pillows, blankets, comforter are provided. Upon arriving, it was very clean. During our stay, we treated it like we would our own home and kept up with cleaning and anything we used up, we replenished (such as toilet paper, paper towels, dish or laundry detergent) for the next tenants. I don't know if that's customary, but we did it anyway, as well as washing dishtowels, bath mat and tablecloth that were provided. We enjoyed out stay immensely and had no problems, no complaints. There are outdoor grills and eating areas which we were permitted to use and there were beach chairs and badges which were also provided and appreciated. We met Sally during out weeklong stay twice and she was friendly and personable. We were set up well and didn't have to ask anything of her, but I'm fairly confident that if we needed anything, she would have accommodated us. There was a cold front that came in towards the end of our week and Sally told us where the heaters could be located if needed, but they weren't. We will definitely come back again next year and I look forward to it. If we can get the interest and cooperation of extended family, we would like to rent out the main house for a reunion in the future. The location is perfect, two blocks from the ocean and only several blocks walking distance to almost anything in town, including Washington Mall, plenty of restaurants, show houses/mansion tours, etc. We didn't want to leave.

More than 30 Australian businesses and non-profit organisations have applied for new top-level domains, under a process managed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) which will result in a dramatic expansion of the internet's namespace.
Applicants for the new so-called 'dot word' domain include three of Australia's four banks. ANZ has applied for .anz, NAB has applied for .nab and .ubank, while the Commonwealth Bank applied for three: .netbank, .commbank and .cba.
A number of Australian unversitities also took advantage of the first round of new TLDs: Bond University applied for .bond, LatTrobe University applied for .latrobe, Monash for .monash and RMIT for .rmit. Open Universities Australia applied for .courses and .study.
Broadcaster SBS has applied for .sbs, Australia Post applied for .auspost, AMP applied for .amp, and Telstra applied for .yellowpages. Channel Seven applied for .seven and CPA Australia applied for .cpa. The Australian Cancer Research Foundation applied for .cancerresearch.
Some of the Australian applicants known prior to ICANN's unveiling of the full list of applications last night include .afl (applied for by the AFL), .iinet (ISP iiNet), .physio (applied for by WA physiotherapist Glenn Ruscoe). The NSW and Victorian governments were known to be applying for .sydney and .melbourne.

ICANN also lists International Domain Registry Pty. Ltd. as an Australian/Asia Pacific applicant for the non-Latin script domain شبكة (web or network in Arabic according to ICANN).
ICANN is currently proposing to deal with applications in batches of 500, a decision that has been the subject of criticism.
Worldwide, over 10 per cent of the applied for domains have more than one applicant, subjecting them to ICANN's dispute-resolution process.

Finding Balance With a Anti-Yeast-Diet
Better health with the anti-yeast diet.
Bee Wilder of Toronto is an active, vibrant 67-year-old woman. But she hasnt always been this healthy. Years ago as a young single mother of two, Wilder suffered from a long list of chronic medical issuesrecurrent bladder and vaginal infections, acid reflux, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive problemswhich had her physicians scratching their heads. She was sick for over 25 years with one malady or another as doctors treated each symptom as an unrelated illness. My migraines were so severe that I would sometimes pass out. Often I had to rely on my mother to care for my children and me, Wilder says. Then in 1985, Kathleen Kerr, MD, one of Wilders physicians, suggested that Wilder read The Yeast Connection, by William Crook, MD. In his book, Crook contended that yeast infections were responsible for a host of health problems he was seeing in his patients. It seemed far-fetched to Wilder, the idea that all her seemingly unrelated problems could be caused by an overgrowth of something that occurs naturally in the body. But Kerr insisted that Wilder take the yeast issue seriously. That insistence, says Wilder, saved my life.

... get some nice heavy squats. They have a pretty good range of equipment and a pool we can use too so I'm sure that will be nice in the winter. We were pretty exhausted after and just made a trip to Walmart for a few more things then relaxed.
Overall it's been a pretty quiet week but it's been nice to just take it slow as it's been pretty crazy up to this and we know it's gonna get pretty crazy in a months time!!
Day 43 - Independence Pass & Aspen
... put his GoPro on the roof so it took a picture every 2 seconds....the results are attached as a time lapse. Once we got to the top, we stopped off for a bit and walked around, however we were over 12,000 feet and their was sleet so it was pretty cold!! I think when we looked it was about 44 F which I believe is around 6/7 C. Brrrrr
The whole drive was just so awesome and beautiful ...
Day 41 - Sticky Fingers lunch
... Once we got home Darren spent a few hours sketching some cool pictures and I cooked dinner with the smallest piece of counter space ever!! It's going to be interesting preparing meals but I'm sure it'll be fun!!
Another evening of Criminal Minds...we think this will be how most of our nights are spent!!
We also found out that they have vacuums that we can borrow so that's another thing we can save money on!! YAY!

From there it was an easy jaunt over to Guanella Pass, a 22-mile byway that runs north-south between Grant and Georgetown. We started at the southern point, stopping to enjoy a tasty BBQ lunch from a busy roadside stand. Along the route, we topped out at 11,669-feet and enjoyed spectacular vistas of peaks and valleys before arriving in Georgetown, which is squeezed into the narrow valley at the northernmost point of this tour. ...

So often it is the non-specialist who can score the bull's-eye. For this surely captures the two most important issues that South Korea's difficulties raise for the rest of the world. The first is the extent to which longer- established developed nations face a real long-term threat from the relatively newly industrialised ones: whether the economic, cultural and political values of East Asia inevitably result in superior economic performance. The second is whether the new instability is also a threat: whether the other two economic time zones will be seriously unsettled by turmoil in this one. The apparent further deepening of Korea's plight last week should lead to some rethinking on both counts.
It was certainly a bad week. The Korean currency (the "won") fell on the first four days, and though it recovered a little on Friday, at 1,710 to the dollar it was still only half the value it was at the beginning of the year. Securities prices were back close to the year's lows. The US credit-rating agencies cut the rating on Korean debt, underlining the status of these agencies as a lagging indicator. And most seriously there was a flurry of contradictory stories about the position of the IMF-backed rescue package. Some focused on the supposed inadequacy of the funds available, others claimed the conditions imposed by the IMF were too tough, and others blamed the IMF for not recognising the seriousness of the problem earlier.
With a string of stories like this, things get a bit bewildering, so stand back a moment from the hubbub of the markets and focus on what we are really learning that might be new. I don't think there is anything happening that is unexpected or unusual. When a country seeks help from the IMF there is always a string of stories about the ability of the IMF to cope, the inappropriateness of the measures, the dangers of knock-on effects on other countries, the social strains and so on. This is absolutely standard.
Think back to Britain's most recent brush with the IMF, just 21 years ago. Half the Cabinet did not want to accept the IMF terms. There was a weak prime minister, James Callaghan, who initially did not side with the Chancellor, Denis Healey. Healey warned of "riots in the streets" if public spending was cut too much. The leftist commentators claimed the IMF terms were unreasonable - and once the economy was recovering, that the terms were unnecessary. But now that IMF-required correction of the government's economic policies is rightly seen as the great turning point in Britain's economic fortunes.
Korea is not only less important to the world economy than Britain was or is; the fundamentals are more favourable. Take the financial fall-out: the won may have halved in value this year (left-hand graph) but sterling, admittedly over a slightly longer period, fell from $2.40 to below $1.60. The stock market has fallen sharply (next graph), but by less than the FT index fell a couple of years earlier in response to the first oil shock and soaring inflation. Even the current account deficit, though around 6 per cent of GDP, is no worse than that of Britain at that period. As for public finances, the fiscal deficit is not a deficit at all: the government has been running a surplus of some 4 per cent of GDP for the last three years.
What you have in Korea, however, is a record of great volatility. You can see that in the current account shown below, or in the very high growth rates that were achieved: 8-9 per cent during 1994 and 1995. The IMF is seeking a growth rate of 3 per cent and this is being seen as imposing hardship. Three per cent is hardship? Most of continental Europe would have been thrilled with that over the last five years.
There is a problem servicing foreign- currency debt, nearly all of it in dollars, for if the won halves in value, the servicing cost doubles. Total foreign currency debt has, however, been cut from 50 per cent of GDP in the early 1980s (right-hand graph) to 25 per cent, and though it was actually down below 15 per cent in the early 1990s, this still should be manageable.
So why are people like the New York economist of Deutsche Morgan Grenfell telling the International Herald Tribune, "The truth of the matter is that Korea Inc is already bankrupt ... This is a zombie economy"? For exactly the same reason the Wall Street Journal headlined a story in 1976 "Good- bye Great Britain". It is always at the moment when people start to despair that the turning point occurs.
Actually I think the turning point for Korea may still be some way off, though not because of the macro-economic problem about which everyone seems to be panicking but which only needs three or four years of slowing growth with consumption held down and debts repaid. More serious is that there is a serious structural problem which has to be tackled: the close links between companies and banks and in particular the lack of market transparency about those links.
The so-called "Asian model" has been much admired in the West. Writers have praised the way in which the long-term relationship between companies and banks have forced savings into industrial investment. Meanwhile, the alleged short-termism of Anglo-Saxon finance has come in for plenty of criticism. The mantra "investment" is repeated time and time again by the Chancellor. And left-leaning think-tanks produce papers about "Asian values".
But what we have learnt from Korea (and to some extent Japan) is that too much investment is just as destructive as too little: money is forced into projects which at best never produce a decent return, and at worst lose money. The close links between banking and industry mean that if industry makes a mistake, the banks are dragged down. And the maligned Anglo-Saxon model actually seems to be much better at generating risk capital for start-ups than either the Asian or the continental models. As for "Asian values", well, there are values like hard work and thorough grounding in maths which are enormously helpful to the economy. But there are others which self-evidently are not.
Fixing this structural problem is enormously difficult because it means changing an entire set of attitudes. In fact I don't think the fundamental structure can be changed, so Korea will have to try and patch up its financial system by feeding in greater transparency, allowing a few more bankruptcies (but protecting bank depositors), and gradually establishing market signals as the best way of determining the wisdom of investment projects. This is going to be a 10-year slog: at the end the financial system won't be perfect, but it will be adequate.
Meanwhile, what about the damage to the rest of the world? I wasn't worried until Friday, for this seemed a regional problem rather than a global one. US and European markets certainly take this view: there will be slower growth in one of the three time zones, with some knock-on effect on the others. However, that will be compensated for by lower-than-expected interest rates everywhere. But on Friday Hans Tietmeyer, the Bundesbank president, said it was unlikely the crisis would spread beyond the Asian region. Now that is probably right. It ought to be right. But when central bankers start saying there isn't a problem, that is the time to start wondering if there might be one.
So maybe the best answer to my colleague's question is this. It wasn't too bad for us that Korea was doing well, for Korea was merely moving up the same ladder of economic progress that the developed world has done before it. To fear a country like Korea is to put an unrealistic importance on "Asian values". And it is not bad for us now because Korea will come all right in the end. We too went down that same path 21 years ago.

That Mountain! This Tart!
You might be sitting there wondering why I've paired a picture of the Matterhorn with a picture of an apricot tart. Let me explain: while we were hiking in Zermatt I spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about apricot tarts. I think it might have something to do with the hike-reward relationship I have established in my brain. It goes something like this; if you hike, you get a reward. I think it's a pretty good system, but what I want to know is why none of the mountain huts we stopped at had apricot tarts. The Swiss seem to consider buttery-bacon Rösti and creamy-cheese Spätzle a reward, which is a decent consolation prize, I admit, but where are the slumped apricots with pastry pulled up over their marigold middles smelling sweetly of cinnamon and sugar?
I should know better than to expect galettes in Switzerland. The fruit tart favored by the Swiss is a custardy concoction with stray pieces of fruit floating about like toddlers in a kiddy pool. The fruit is merely a decoration, the jiggly yellow base a priority. I know, I get it, dairy is kind of a big deal in this country. But perhaps the middle of summer, in the middle of the apricot region of Switzerland, an exception could be made and the rainy day custards could put aside in favor of fruit-centric tarts. It's too much to ask, I know that too, because as much as they love their dairy they love their traditions more. I give in and up. I'll just eat my lamb knuckle and follow it up with some vivid imagery of an apricot tart.
Apricot tart, instead of plum or cherry or raspberry, was on my mind for a couple of reasons; I had already eaten two in the previous week, and canton Valais, where Zermatt is located, is the the apricot mecca of Switzerland. It's something about the warm sandy soil and the glacier streams that make the Valais perfect for growing plump sweet apricots. Anyway I think it's safe to say that apricots were in the air that weekend, or at least in the air I was wandering about it. Come to close and you might have been struck by a sudden apricot craving.
As my hiking companions were taking in the beauty and pondering the steady movements of glaciers and the habits of mountain goats I was scouting for fugitive apricot trees and keeping my fingers crossed that I'd happen upon an apricot stand on our way out of town so I could bring home apricots straight from the source. I didn't see any trees or roadside stands, but I did duck into the supermarket before getting on the train and bought a kilo of apricots. My mind was calm. But only until I had my first slice. It was tart, and sour and my face puckered up as if I'd just eaten a lemon. OooEeee! What on earth? This was the mecca! The Hub! The fruit should be sweet and tender and flavorful, but all I tasted was tart. Hmpf!
Not all was lost. I was still thinking about a galette. And you know what? A tart is a good place for a bad apricot. I should specify. This tart is a good place for a bad apricot. It's all about the nutty, slightly sweet, rye crust and how it balances the tartness of the apricots. They are a perfect pair, an unlikely pair, an atypical pie pair. Pies are usually built around a sweet jamey middle held in by a buttery shell. It's a sweet filling - plain crust type of relationship. The rye crust to apricot filling is different, it's a tart filling - sweet crust relationship. Most pie fillings can be eaten and enjoyed plain, but apricots hover on being too tart for solo consumption, they need the malty, sweet undertones of the rye flour.
And don't try and tell me you don't like rye bread, because this tart is a distant relative of the caraway seed speckled rye bread that we eat along side our eggs. And if you don't trust me, then trust Kim Boyce, she knows what she's doing.
a couple notes
- this tart is not something that can be whipped up. The dough needs a long stay in the fridge and then once the tart is assembled it needs to be put in the freezer before baking.
- I first followed Boyce's crust instructions but found that the resulting dough was not quite as flakey as I wanted. Using the exact same ingredients but the Tartine method resulted in a flakier dough. I don't think it's Boyce, I just think that the Tartine method insures you don't overwork the butter and the dough, which results in a flakier, lighter crust.
- Boyce calls for boysenberries to pair with the apricots. I couldn't find boysenberries, but I did use blueberries for one tart and blackberries for another. I also think it's good without berries, just apricots.
ingredients for the dough
needs to be made ahead
for two galettes
6 oz / 1 1/2 sticks butter, cold
3/4 cup ice water
1 cup rye flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Cut the butter into 1 inch cubes and place it in the freezer. Place the water in the freezer as well. Chill both for about 10 minutes.
Measure and mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Spread the dry mixture into a rectangle - 1/3 inch deep - on your work surface. Place the butter cubes over the flour. Toss a bit of the flour over the butter so that the rolling pin won't stick. Apply pressure to the rolling pin and start rolling. When the butter flattens out into long thin strips use a bench scrapper to fold the mixture back to it's original size. Repeat the roll and scrape 3 or 4 more times. Make a well in the center of the dough and pour in 7 tablespoons of ice water. Scrape and scoop the dough over the water, cutting the water into the dough. Once you have a shaggy mass squeeze the dough to see if it comes together. If it is too dry add additional ice water a tablespoon at a time. Roll the dough into an 8.5 x 11.5 inch rectangle. It will be shaggy, but don't add more water as it will come together during rolling. Fold the dough into thirds like a letter. Roll out again into a rectangle. Repeat this fold and roll about 3 times, until you have a cohesive dough. Transfer the dough to plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. (the dough can also be frozen in rectangle form and thawed out before rolling and adding fruit)
rolling out the butter - before adding the water
ingredients for the fruit filling
enough for two galettes
2 lbs ripe apricots
1 1/4 cups apricot jam
2 - 4 tablespoons sugar depending on the sweetness of the fruit.
1 1/2 cups boysenberries (I used blueberries in one round, blackberries in another and left them out in the third tart - the tart featured here)
1 egg
1/4 sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon (or if a little more if you're like me and love cinnamon)
Cut the apricots in half and discard the pits. Mix the apricot halves with the sugar and 1/2 cup of apricot jam. In a separate bowl mix the berries with 1/4 cup of jam.
Divide the dough in half, keeping one half chilled while you work with the other. Flour the work surface and roll the dough into a circle about 15 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Smear 1/4 cup of jam in the center of the dough. Pile half of the apricots and half of the berries into the center of the dough. Fold and an edge of the dough over the fruit and towards the center of the tart, leaving about 3 inches of fruit showing. Continue folding the dough over the fruit, pinching the edges where there might be gaps, until the fruit is encircled.
Make the second tart the same way
Freeze both tarts for at least hour. While the tarts are freezing preheat the oven to 350ºF / 180ºC.
Whisk the egg until there are no streaks of whites and the yellow is a cohesive color. Stir the sugar and cinnamon together. Take the baking sheet out of the freezer. Brush the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mix over each tart, on both the crust and the fruit. Don't skimp, the cinnamon-sugar makes for a wonderfully crisp shell.
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the tart is golden brown and juices have begun to bubble and seep.
Unbaked tarts will keep well wrapped and frozen for up to one month.

The State of the Union Is Comatose
HANDS down, the State of the Union's big moment was Barack Obama's direct hit on the delicate sensibilities of the Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. The president was right to blast the 5-to-4 decision giving corporate interests an even greater stranglehold over a government they already regard as a partially owned onshore subsidiary. How satisfying it was to watch him provoke Alito into a "You lie!" snit. Here was a fight we could believe in.
There was more to admire in Obama's performance as well. He did not retreat into the bite-size initiatives - V-chips, school uniforms - embraced by an emasculated Bill Clinton after his midterm pummeling of 1994. The president's big original goals - health care, economic recovery, financial reform - remained nominally intact, as did his sense of humor. In a rhetorical touch William Safire would have relished, Obama had the wit to rush the ritualistic "our union is strong" so it would not prompt the usual jingoistic ovation.
Good thing, too, since our union is not strong. It is paralyzed. Many Americans were more eagerly anticipating Steve Jobs's address in San Francisco on Wednesday morning than the president's that night because they have far more confidence in Apple than Washington to produce concrete change. One year into Obama's term we still don't know whether he has what it takes to get American governance functioning again. But we do know that no speech can do the job. The president must act. Only body blows to the legislative branch can move the country forward.
The historian Alan Brinkley has observed that we will soon enter the fourth decade in which Congress - and therefore government as a whole - has failed to deal with any major national problem, from infrastructure to education. The gridlock isn't only a function of polarized politics and special interests. There's also been a gaping leadership deficit.
In Obama's speech, he kept circling back to a Senate where both parties are dysfunctional. The obstructionist Republicans, he observed, will say no to every single bill "just because they can." But no less culpable are the Democrats, who maintain "the largest majority in decades" even after losing Teddy Kennedy's seat - and yet would rather "run for the hills" than accomplish anything.
What does strong Senate leadership look like? That would be L.B.J. in the pre-Kennedy era. Operating with the narrowest of majorities and under an opposition president, he was able to transform a sleepy, seniority-hobbled, regionally polarized debating society into an often-progressive legislative factory. As Robert Caro tells the story in his book "Master of the Senate," this Senate leader had determination, "a gift for grand strategy," and a sixth sense for grabbing opportunities for action before they vanished for good. He could recognize "the key that might suddenly unlock votes that had seemed locked forever away" and turn it quickly. The horse trading with recalcitrant senators was often crude and cynical, but the job got done. L.B.J. knew how to reward - and how to punish.
We keep hearing that they just don't make legislative giants like that anymore. In truth, the long drought has led us to forget what they look like and to define senatorial leadership down. L.B.J.'s current successor, Harry Reid, could be found yawning on camera Wednesday night. He might as well have just taken the whole nap. Here was this leader's pronouncement last week on the future of the president and his party's No. 1 priority: "We're not on health care now. We've talked a lot about it in the past." Yes, a lot of talk - a year's worth, in fact - with nothing to show for it.
If Reid can serve as the face of Democratic fecklessness in the Senate, then John McCain epitomizes the unpatriotic opposition. On Wednesday night he could be seen sneering when Obama pointed out that most of the debt vilified by Republicans happened on the watch of a Republican president and Congress that never paid for "two wars, two tax cuts, and an expensive prescription drug program." The president's indictment could have been more lacerating. Crunching Congressional Budget Office numbers, David Leonhardt of The Times calculated that of the projected $2 trillion swing into the red between the Clinton surplus and 2012, some 33 percent could be attributed to Bush legislation and another 20 percent to Bush-initiated spending (Iraq, TARP) continued by Obama. Only 7 percent of the deficit could be credited to the Obama stimulus bill and 3 percent to his other initiatives. (The business cycle accounts for the other 37 percent.)
Perhaps McCain was sneering at Obama because of the Beltway's newest unquestioned cliché: one year after a new president takes office he is required to stop blaming his predecessor for the calamities left behind. Who dreamed up that canard - Alito? F.D.R. never followed it. In an October 1936 speech, nearly four years after Hoover, Roosevelt was still railing against the "hear-nothing, see-nothing, do-nothing government" he had inherited. He reminded unemployed and destitute radio listeners that there had been "nine crazy years at the ticker" and "nine mad years of mirage" followed by three long years of bread lines and despair. F.D.R. soon won re-election in the greatest landslide the country had seen.
Obama should turn up the heat on both the G.O.P's record of fiscal recklessness and its mad-dog obstructionism. He should stop paying lip service to the fantasy that his Congressional opposition has serious ideas to contribute to the cleanup. Better still, he should publicize exactly what those "ideas" are.
Yes, the Republicans were correct to laugh at one of the president's own gimmicks on Wednesday night: a symbolic and pointless spending "freeze." But their own alternatives are downright hilarious. When the G.O.P. House leadership last year announced its plan to cut federal spending by $75 billion annually, it enumerated specific new cuts of only $5 billion per year. A tax-cut-laden "stimulus plan" endorsed by Jim DeMint, the South Carolina senator and Tea Party hero, "would cost more than $3 trillion - more than triple the cost of Obama's stimulus - over the next decade," in the estimate of Jonathan Chait of The New Republic.
On State of the Union day, the Republican National Committee gathered at its winter meeting at Waikiki Beach to battle over a measure that would deny campaign funds to candidates who didn't pass a Tea Party ideological purity test. Back in Washington, other party thinkers trotted out some more brilliant ideas. Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman hailed as the Republicans' new intellectual hope, laid out a lengthy "G.O.P. Road Map for America's Future" on The Wall Street Journal op-ed page that proposed cutting taxes (disproportionately for the wealthy) and privatizing Medicare and Social Security but devoted no bullet point to creating jobs for Americans in urgent need. On the Hill that morning, Michele Bachmann of Minnesota led House colleagues in signing a "Declaration of Health Care Independence" to complement a bill that would let Americans "purchase insurance with their own tax-free money." Gee, why did no else think of that ingenious fix for a health care system that leaves 46.3 million uninsured and whose runaway costs are on track to eat up one-fifth of the American economy?
It was a heartening breakthrough when Obama dismissed such idiocies repeatedly in his televised meeting with House Republicans on Friday. He mocked G.O.P. legislative snake oil that promises to lower all medical costs and "won't cost anybody anything." He must keep this up - and be equally tough on the slackers in his own party who stall his agenda. And he must be less foggy on the specifics of what that agenda is. Though on Wednesday night he asked Congress to "take another look" at the health care bill, even now it's unclear what he believes that bill's bedrock provisions should be. He also said he wouldn't sign any financial regulatory bill that "does not meet the test of real reform," yet tentatively praised a House bill compromised by a banking lobby that is in bed with Democrats and Republicans alike. The Senate, of course, has yet to produce any financial reform bill.
Americans like Obama far more than they like any Congressional leader. They might even like more of his policies if he spelled them out. But none of that matters if no Democrat fears him enough to do any of his bidding and no Republican believes there's any price to be paid for always saying no.
A year in, we have learned that all the conciliatory rhetoric won't cut it. But a president with a big megaphone and large legislative majorities has more powerful strings to pull, no matter what happened in one special election in Massachusetts. If he can't get a working government, at least he can shake things up in November.
Just look at how a sharp public slap provoked Justice Alito, threw a spotlight on the court's dubious jurisprudence and sparked an embarrassing over-the-top hissy fit on the right. A do-nothing Congress, at a time when ever more Americans are losing their jobs and homes, is an even riper target than the Supreme Court - and far more politically vulnerable. Without strong medicine from Obama, we can be certain of the same result: a heedless Congress will keep doing nothing. If he steps it up, there's at least a shot that his presidency, and maybe even the country, will be pulled back from the brink.

Professor Dolinski has a background in nuclear and particle physics. She has worked in the field of neutrinoless double beta decay for a decade, including graduate work on the CUORE experiment and postdoctoral research as part of the EXO group at Stanford. She joined the Drexel University Department of Physics in 2012, where she continues to pursue experimental neutrino physics. In addition, she is interested in physics education and outreach, specifically improving the accessibility and quality of physics education at the high school level.
Professor Dolinski is interested in designing and building novel detectors for the next generation of neutrino experiments. Neutrinos, while difficult to study in the laboratory, may be the key to understanding what lies beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
EXO-200 and nEXO are experiments searching for neutrinoless double beta decay of xenon-136. Neutrinoless double beta decay experiments probe physics beyond the Standard Model by accessing extremely high energy scales via this rare nuclear decay. The observation of neutrinoless double beta decay would prove that neutrinos are equivalent to their own anti-particles.
The PROSPECT experiment will search for neutrino oscillations to invisible "sterile" neutrinos by staging detectors close to the core of the HFIR nuclear reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Sterile neutrinos could help to explain anomalous results from previous neutrino experiments.

Turkish Omelette
Recently we went to Cafe Zola for our weekend brunch where I tried Turkish eggs. It was an unusual combination of spinach, feta, eggs, and olives. I was intrigued. So when Kanchana announced Omelette as the theme for Weekend Breakfast Blogging, I searched for Turkish Omelette and came across the recipe in Almost Turkish Recipes blog. It is called kaygana and the recipe dates back to the Ottoman empire.
There are various ways of making Kaygana - savory ones with vegetables and sweet ones with honey.
I tried the similar recipe on Burcu's blog and reduced the flour in the Kaygana to one tspoon for every couple of eggs and added chopped onions as well. The combination of onions, cheese and parsley in the omelette was delicious and flavorful.
Ingredients: Serves 2
(Recipe Source: Almost Turkish Recipes)
4 eggs
2 tspoon flour
2 tbspoon water or milk (I added milk)
1 tspoon olive oil
bunch of parsley - finely chopped
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 medium onion - finely chopped
freshly ground black pepper
red pepper flakes
Salt to taste
Mix the flour with the eggs. Whisk well. Then add the milk and whisk some more.
Then add parsley, feta, onions, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to this mix and stir till it all mixes well together.
Now heat oil in a frying pan. When the oil is hot, add the mix and make a round omelette, much like a dosa. Cook till it is brown on each side and serve warm.
This was our weekend breakfast and our entry to Kanchana's WBB#16: Omelette.

The New Fantastic Four Reboot Has a Cast
Meet the new Thing!
Fox's new Fantastic Four movie has its superheros pretty much picked out, according to Deadline. As rumored, Michael B. Jordan will allegedly play Johnny Storm the Human Torch. Kate Mara is rumored to join him as Invisible Woman Sue Storm*, with Miles Teller as Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards, and Jamie Bell as the Thing rounding out the cast. If you ask us, it would have made more sense and saved a lot of money to just hire a man made out of fire, an invisible woman, an elastic guy and some kind of rock creature but hey, what do we know? We're not casting directors.
* The post originally misidentified Sue Storm as Sue Smith, which makes us no better than the animals.

Kos may be the longest name among politicos both left and right who use the Internet as their medium to network with like-minded individuals. In his third book Taking On The System, Markos Moulitsas Zúniga flexes his political muscle for a book that might also be titled How To Take On The System. In 272 pages Kos, a moniker he acquired from army buddies and users online, delivers an unexpectedly laugh-out-loud great read. Kos prefers the "progressive" label because he is left wing and a Democrat. Two baby-brand progressives, Kos and Arianna Huffington used to be Republican. And like so many screwed first by the GOP, Kos emerges through the birth canal a re-born Democrat.
Four anchor stories comprise the bulk of Taking. It retells the story (among others) of two women and two men: Katie Couric, Cindy Sheehan, George Allen and Mark Webb. These lives offline connect with many online and eventually pave the way for Web empires like Drudge Report, Josh Marshall's TPM, Daily Kos: State of the Nation and The Huffington Post. Steve Colbert's enduring "truthiness" also makes an appearance. His stinging levity in the face of George W. Bush and a cadre of journalists would have been an obscure performance witnessed only by those in the room. But CSPAN records it and one person passes the event along as a virus worth catching for YouTube. That is the Internet model at its best; the template that transfers power from one person to another via elections or network firings.
Kos chronicles headlines dangling in the news-ether from the beginning of the Iraq war to the 2006 election cycle, including the rightful questions journalist Couric formulated when faced with the facts of the Iraq war: is that all there is? However, it remains just a question in her mind and in the minds of other establisment journalists who give President Bush enough political rope to hang Iraq around the Republican hulk.
Throughout Taking Kos questions what one might call the "why" chromosome of journalistic credentials. Why does a journalism degree confer on the holder all the genetic material required to fill every nook and cranny in the 1960's media only with the countenance of white men? Kos becomes myth buster and Web giant by poking holes in the story that the media strangely ignores, or worse, has no clue it's brewing.
The beauty of the Web beast lies in its surreptitious — almost stalking — nature that grabs its prey from behind with eyes averted but ego completely engaged in the hyperbole.
This was the case of Cindy Sheehan and many seasoned campaigners since. What began as a cry in the wilderness of Crawford, Texas and the birth of "Camp Casey" ended with the one-two gut punches of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Cindy sought the spotlight for her son's death but when the overwhelming devastation of Katrina is revealed American eyes turn to that tragedy. In 2008 Cindy plans a march on Washington and unseating Nancy Pelosi. Kos points out in Sheehan's case that she is reviving a strategy that was no longer viable — the march. Nobody cares.
Kos juxtaposing Cindy's march with the one staged by millions across the globe protesting that foray into Iraq… argues that it did not dissuade Bush nor the U.S. military. Taking insists that a neophyte blogger with an insightful weblog is a more powerful weapon in the activists' arsenal than a thousand marches.
At one point Cindy posts her "resignation," Martin Luther-like, on the door of Daily Kos. She resigns from the Democrat Party. But a couple of days later she, well, comes back from her self-imposed exile and continues posting to her Kos diary as if nothing happened. But something did happen, she became irrelevant and misspent the political capital and sympathy garnered by her activism. It was simply too little too late.
Kos the Internet strider walks the news-cycle tension with the precision of a silkworm. While conservative observers would never wrap up in the socialist-like silk Kos and his Kossacks spin on a daily basis, they cannot ignore the power it yields. The genius here is catching. A small story ignored, propped up with a tiny crutch (read keyboard) waxes by day until, and Kos says this is essential; the story catches fire with NBC, CBS or ABC and its top anchor is spouting Internet-bred "BREAKING NEWS."
Exactly what brought down the much-ballyhooed GOP candidate George Allen? Enter James Webb: "[He] was fresh off his netroots-fueled Democratic primary … was going head-to-head with a Republican heavyweight who was busy scoping out a presidential run." Allen is pointed out by The Weekly Standard as "a leading contender for the Republican nomination for president in 2008." Therefore no one saw it coming when this incumbent senator was brought down by a racial slur "macaca" and a single camera wielded by the very man whom he was addressing. The viral video's warp speed revealing both Allen's Jewish and racists' roots make Allen livid. He did not recover. He lost his senate seat and all presidential hopes. That was not supposed to happen and Kos argues that only netroots activism made it possible.
There are political failures to be sure. Taking points to the John Kerry loss. Why did he lose? One reason: waiting a two-week eternity before attacking the swift boat lies and ads which had become entrenched in the voters' imaginations. But lest bloggers become complacent or believe their own press Kos poetically issues a warning to would-be bloggers about dreams of a favored political candidate ringing the doorbell with contract in hand on bended knee inquiring "will you blog me?" Taking admits it won't happen in an age of blemished bloggers who might have written some "things" that — shall we say — come back to bite the candidate.
The political blogosphere is adeptly-run by men and women who hold Master's Degrees, law degrees, journalism degrees, or have military service and oodles of life experience. That is a line that bears repeating more often. They are not fools sitting around grandma's basement in pajamas collecting unemployment checks. Bloggers are worker bees. So what struck this reviewer is a word missing from Taking: "vetting." Vetting is hard work. And Kos, while not using that word, illustrates that political bloggers are actually vetting the story for newspapers, cable, and networks.
Elite bloggers detect, bottle-feed, incubate, hold, and rock a nursery crammed with premature stories until they are viable and able to walk upright — brilliant. And so is Taking On The System. This well-written how-to tome about grabbing political power is a clarion call for this "Why Generation." It is required reading for the cultural critic, candidates in training, and non-believers. Taking will make a believer out of you.
The Web genie has escaped. Because now, regardless of age or infirmity, folks have hooked up and connected their voices with a few bucks, a pair of pajamas, and time. That is encouraging good news for the neophyte as well as the elite, experienced political blogger.

This is the rice for making authentic Spanish paella. There are a few other varieties that work well in paella, but Bomba is top of the line. It's a shorter grain rice, and though it resembles Italian arborio in shape, it behaves much differently. It can absorb 3 times its volume in liquid yet still retain its toothy texture. Grown in a nature preserve where L'Albufera lakes and rivers feed the fertile plains of Valencia.

I wish I could give the Salsa a higher rating, but 5 stars will have to do. I love it's strong, rumbly vibrations and it's pinpoint stimulation. It's rechargeable so you never have to worry about running out of batteries. It's small enough it can be taken with you on your travels and it works well during partner sex. What's not to love?Published:
Powerful, rumbly vibrations, rechargeable, pinpoint stimulation, storage bag, short charging time
Ripped storage bag, can be difficult to hold onto during use

Intubation is a great thing. It can secure an airway in an unresponsive patient for quite a while, it allows visual confirmation of an airway being secured, and it is generally pretty safe (just be careful with extubation). I taught quite a few students today how to intubate, and they all picked it up pretty quickly, and you can too.
Before we start, there are a few things that must be said. This is out of your scope of practice. Do not do this on a real person, unless you want to be sued. That being said, this is the way you do it.
The Equipment
To properly intubate, you first need the proper equipment. Professionals use a laryngoscope. A laryngoscope kind of resembles a mining-pick with a flashlight attached. The "blade" has two major varieties. The "Miller" blade is a straight edged blade (the 'l' in Miller is straight), and the "Macintosh" blade is curved (like the 'c' in Macintosh, get it?). For the purposes of this tutorial, lets assume you're using the Macintosh blade, because that's what I use. If you want a Miller tutorial, message me and I'll be happy to explain the differences.
You also need an ET (endotracheal) tube, which is what the air is going to go through, and a stylet, which will help guide the ET tube into the trachea. If a stylet isn't available, use a wire coat hanger. Some string is helpful, too.
With these items, you're ready to go.
The Procedure
Get behind your patient (henceforth male for pronoun purposes), and have your eyes on his level. If your patient is on the ground, you may either lay on your stomach behind him, or try to get as low as possible on your knees/elbows. You should be looking down the stretch of their body. Before you begin this procedure, if you have a partner who is bagging (giving oxygen) to the patient, have him or her hyperventilate the patient while you get ready. When you're shoving this down their throat, they aren't breathing.
The basic idea of this procedure is that you are going to wrench their mouth open, visualize the trachea (windpipe), stick a tube in, and push air through the tube into their lungs.
Read this entire write up before you move on from this point. The next steps need to be completed quickly and accurately. Have your partner stop bagging, and remove anything from the patient's mouth. Stick in your laryngoscope (with a Macintosh blade), put the tip of the blade behind their tongue, and push forward and up. Don't try to use the blade as a lever, you'll shatter some teeth. Look inside the patient's mouth. You should see two holes. One is the esophagus, going to the stomach (the one on the bottom), and the other is the trachea, going to the lungs. Around the trachea you should see a slightly different colored piece of anatomy we call vocal cords.
With the trachea (the upper hole) visualized, stick in your ET tube (guided by the stylet). Make sure it goes in the right hole.
Make sure it goes in the right hole.
Stick it in another inch or so (after it's already in), take out the laryngoscope and stylet (leaving the ET tube in), and you're done. Push 10 mL of air into the small port of the ET tube (this blows up a bubble in the trachea so nothing gets past it), then push some air through the top of the ET tube to make sure the chest rises. You shouldn't hear any stomach noises. If you do, return to "Make sure it goes in the right hole." Use the string to secure the tube.
The entire process should take about a minute, give or take based on experience.
Hope this helps you should you ever need to perform an emergency intubation. Please don't hurt anybody with this.

Nice photo strip & I like the textured paper showing through the heart shaped holes (with embroidery, no less!) That'a a really clever idea!
Great layout! I love how you've used the denim alpha for the title and the way you've added the stitching trim around the heart paper is a great effect.

Kinndy Sparkshine
It is requested that a screenshot or screenshots be included in this article to improve its quality.
Kinndy Sparkshine | |
Gender | Female |
Race | Gnome (Humanoid) |
Affiliation(s) | Kirin Tor |
Occupation | Mage |
Location | Theramore Isle |
Status | Deceased |
Relative(s) | Windle Sparkshine, Jaxi Sparkshine (parents) |
Mentor(s) | Jaina Proudmoore |
Kinndy Sparkshine was Jaina Proudmoore's teenaged gnome apprentice. She had bright pink hair that she binded up in ponytails. She was almost always unintentionally perky, even for a gnome, but didn't like that it caused others to not take her seriously.[1]
Jaina was asked to take on Kinndy as an apprentice by Rhonin, who described her as "extremely promising, intelligent, and fiercely curious about the world." Although she was merely the tender age of 22, no more then a teenager for her kind, she quickly proved to be an excellent apprentice; the only area in which her talent seemed lacking was in conjuring baked goods. This frustrated Kinndy to no end, as baking was her mother's specialty.
When Kalecgos arrived in Theramore with news that the Focusing Iris had been stolen, Kinndy at first, used her harsh tongue at him, but later she was eager to help him figure out how the thieves had hidden it from the blue dragonflight. She made several trips to Dalaran to procure tomes and scrolls, and fervently poured through them for an answer. Jaina ordered Kinndy and Tervosh to inform inhabitants of Theramore about the Horde army massing nearby. Later on, it was Kinndy's idea to have Jaina asked Kirin Tor for help. Kinndy was also one of the first people to notice the attraction that was growing between Jaina and Kalec and excused herself so that they would be alone together, implying her tacit approval.
When Garrosh Hellscream attacked Theramore Isle, Kinndy helped to magically enhance the western gate alongside Thoder Windermere, and successfully prevented the Horde from breaching it. After the battle, she was emotionally drained and exhausted.
She was killed when Garrosh Hellscream destroyed the city with a mana bomb, her corpse bombarded with so much magic that she disintegrated into a pile of violet sand when Jaina touched her body. It was this moment, losing someone so bright, young and full of promise, that made Jaina snap.
After her death, her father was given special permission to light the lanterns of Dalaran with dancing, laughing images of Kinndy.[1]
- In the World of Warcraft: Legion version of Dalaran, an image of Kinndy can be seen when her father turns on the lights every evening.

The term Eb/N0 ("e bee over en zero") is used in digital communications as a measure of signal strength to estimate the bit error rate.
It is defined as the average energy per bit (Eb) relative to the spectral noise density (N0) and gives a basic measure how strong the signal is at the receivers input.
The definition assumes that inside the channels bandwidth B the Gaussian distributed noise energy can be calculated as N0 = k*T*B (may be additionally shaped by filters), where k is Boltzmann's constant and T is absolute temperature in Kelvin.
With the knowlegde of modulation and Eb/N0 one can estimate the available BER or vice versa calculate the RF power for a given data set of modulation, channel bandwidth, symbol rate, losses and wanted bit error rate. Eb/N0 gives also modulation choices for a channel depending on wether bandwidth (i.e. cable TV) or power (i.e. sat) is the limiting factor.
Relation to CNR
C/N = Eb/N0 * fb/B
fb : bit rate at receiver B : channel noise bandwidth
Relation to SNR

Wembley father will carry the London 2012 Olympic torch through Brent
PUBLISHED: 12:43 19 March 2012 | UPDATED: 15:34 19 March 2012
isabelle Plasschaert
Keith Gussy-Young has been nominated through his volunteer work with Brent School Football Association
A father-of-two from Wembley who has spent 25 years running sports clubs for young people in Brent will represent the borough when he carries the London 2012 Olympic torch this summer.
Keith Gussy-Young, 51, is a qualified coach who was nominated to be an Olympic Torchbearer for his volunteer work with Brent School Football Association.
The dedicated coach, who is married to wife Mary and has two sons – Curtis and Marius, will be one of 8,000 people who will carry the flame on its 8,000 mile journey across UK.
Speaking to the Times, he said: "I have always been a community person wanting to give something back and I enjoy working with young people.
"It was a very proud moment for me when I was told I would be an Olympic torchbearer and recognised for the work I have done over the years. To be chosen out of 60,000 people is a great achievement for me, my family and close friends who know where I come from."
Mr Gussy-Young, who grew up in the borough, has worked with Brent Youth Service for 17 years, ran St Andrew's Youth Club in Willesden and Gladstone Centre Youth Club in Cricklewood as well as Brent School Football Association.
He also works with community radio station Roots FM and coaches girls and boys football at Wembley Primary School, in East Lane, Wembley.
When he is not involving himself in the Brent community, Mr Gussy-Young works for a company called Opticron which sells binoculars and telescopes.
He said: "I was unaware I was being put forward and would like to thank Sarah Hawken from Brent Sports Service for nominating me. It is an honour to be selected and I look forward to representing Brent."
The flame will be in the borough for two hours and will arrive mid-morning on July 25 via Harrow Road, in Sudbury.
Brent Council will also host a party in King Edwards VII park in Wembley called Brent Celebrates the Flame where there will be music, dance, food and sport.
An average of 115 torchbearers a day will carry the Olympic Flame during its 8,000 mile journey around the UK before it arrives at the Olympic Stadium on July 27 for the lighting of the cauldron at the Opening Ceremony, signifying the official start of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Residents are encouraged to line the streets to encourage the torchbearers running with the flame.
Each torchbearer will wear a white and gold uniform which been designed by adidas.
Councillor James Powney (Labour) said: "Brent is extremely proud to welcome the Olympic Flame to the borough on July 25. We hope that residents get involved in the buzz of the Olympics by lining the route on the day and cheering on our inspirational torchbearers such as Keith Gussy-Young."
Sebastian Coe, chairman of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) added: "The Flame symbolises the Olympic spirit and its journey around the UK will bring the excitement of the Games to our streets.
"Now the people know the route the Olympic Flame will be carried along and the Torchbearers for their community, they can start planning how they might celebrate and make it Brent's moment to shine."
The flame will visit within 10 miles of more than 95 per cent of the population.
Schools across the UK can now access free learning resources kits linked to the Olympic Torch Relay through Get Set (london2012.com/getset), the official London 2012 education programme.
The activities are designed to help schools and colleges make the most of the relay by lining the route and cheering on their local Torchbearers.

A federal cabinet minister rejected a request for a prison interview with former Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr even though the warden gave it a green light — a move some are calling an extraordinary act of political interference.
Documents obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act show the warden of Millhaven Institution, where Khadr is in maximum security, approved the interview request made by the news agency in January, only to be overruled.
The refusal came from the office of Public Safety Minister Vic Toews to Correctional Service Canada, records show.
Under normal procedure, the warden of an institution makes the final call on granting a reporter access to an inmate, subject to a CSC policy known as Commissioner's Directive 022.
Among other things, the directive requires agreement from the prisoner to talk to the reporter, and any interview cannot pose a security threat.
The documents show Prime Minister Stephen Harper's own department immediately flagged the initial interview application, and asked to be kept in the loop.
"We'd be interested if anything develops on the (request)," Christopher Williams, a senior analyst with Privy Council Office, wrote in an email to Correctional Service Canada.
In this case, Millhaven Warden Kevin Snedden approved a telephone interview with Khadr. Documents show regional headquarters supported his decision.
"Following the warden's detailed assessment of the request against Commissioner's Directive CD-022, it was concluded that the request complies," Christa McGregor, senior media relations advisor, wrote in an email Feb. 22 to senior ministry and ministerial staff in Toews' office.
Within 90 minutes, however, the request was nixed.
"This interview is not approved," Julie Carmichael, Toews' director of communications, responded in a terse internal email.
This interview is not approved
The decision to overrule the warden took Correctional Service insiders by surprise, prompting a further flurry of emails that reached the highest levels of the ministry.
A public servant familiar with the file, who insisted on anonymity out of fear of government retribution, said what had happened was highly unusual.
The interview request was "subjected to significant and extraordinary scrutiny from CSC's national headquarters and overt political interference," the person said.
"The warden approved of the interview taking place — and approved again after being told to reassess — before finally, and after much 'off-line' conversation with direct pressure from headquarters and the minister's office, denying the request."
It was not immediately clear what role the cabinet office played.
Wayne Easter, a former Liberal solicitor general, expressed surprise at Mr. Toews' involvement, saying he couldn't think of an instance where something similar had happened during his time in office.
"It's very much overstepping the bounds of the minister's jurisdiction," Mr. Easter said. "As long as the protocols are met, [the interview] should go ahead."
The Toronto-born Khadr, 26, has been housed in Millhaven west of Kingston, Ont., since his transfer last September to Canada from Guantanamo Bay, where he had already spent 10 years behind bars.
Khadr had pleaded guilty before a widely discredited military commission in October 2010 to five war crimes — among them killing a U.S. special forces soldier — committed as a 15 year old in Afghanistan. He was given a further eight years behind bars.
In its refusal — denounced by Khadr's lawyer as Conservative government "propaganda" aimed at demonizing him by keeping him out of the public eye — Correctional Service Canada cited the commissioner's directive for rejecting the interview.
It said access could pose a security risk or be disruptive, and would undermine his correctional plan.
Nowhere in the records is there any indication the warden initially found those to be issues.
Asked to comment on the minister's interference in the process, Ms. Carmichael would only say Mr. Toews expects consideration of interview requests to take into account the "nature of the offences" of which the individual has been convicted.
All requests to talk to other bureaucrats or political operatives involved were denied, with media relations officials citing the Privacy Act.
On Saturday, a lawyer for Khadr announced plans to appeal his terrorism convictions and said his client hopes to walk free if his efforts are successful.
Lawyer Dennis Edney said Saturday that the Toronto-born 26-year-old was "looking forward" to the appeal which is expected to be filed "very soon."
"We are very confident that the military tribunal convictions will be overturned because in our view there are serious questions about the validity of all these convictions," Mr. Edney told The Canadian Press.
Although Khadr opted for a plea agreement in 2010, Mr. Edney argued his guilty plea may not have too much of a bearing on his appeal.
"If you plead guilty to a charge which is a nullity in war, then the plea is also a nullity," he said.
The case is still likely to be complicated as Khadr did sign away his appeal rights in 2010, but that obstacle too, Mr. Edney contended, could be surmounted.
"If the underlying acts weren't crimes, at least not war crimes, then Mr. Khadr's waiver may also be unreliable," he said.
Mr. Edney said his team would be filing an appeal first with a U.S. military commission, and then later in the U.S. civil courts if necessary, to overturn all of Khadr's convictions.
The terms of Khadr's transfer to Canada precluded attacking his sentence in Canadian courts.
