That bread looks really great. Dill and onions in it sounds also good to me.
I am so pleased that I found the time to take part in Random Recipes this month. I love homemade bread and although I don't have a problem making it, somehow I don't get round to doing it very often, but as Dom at Belleau Kitchen has challenged us to a Random bread making challenge, it was the perfect opporutunity to try something different.
First take your Bread books, there were eight, then choose one at Random. It's the 5th of May (might not be by the time this is posted but that is the day of the 'Random choosing') so pick number 5.
Dill Onion Yogurt Bread
For a 1 1/2 lb (675g) loaf
120ml (4fl oz) water
185ml (6fl oz) natural yogurt
3 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp dried dill weed
1 tbsp dried onion flakes (I sauted a finely chopped onion in butter instead)
1 tsp salt
425g (15oz) strong white flour
2 1/4 tsp fast action yeast
Put all the ingredients into the bread pan of your machine in the order suggested by your machine I structions. Set for white bread, medium crust. Press start.
Note: as long as you keep the salt and yeast separate when you add them to the pan I find the order doesn't matter.
No bread machine? Just use any handmade white bread recipe, BBC Food have an easy white bread recipe by Paul Hollywood which explains the techniques.
I was really impressed with the even texture of this bread, the dill and onion had spread through the dough beautifully and it had baked to a golden crust. The recipes suggests that the loaf is good for sandwiches and I can see why. It is lovely and soft and the savoury taste of herb and onion would add to the flavour of the filling. When I had tea at The Dorchester (highly recommended) one of the sandwiches was chicken served on basil bread and it was divine. I may try making some of that myself using this recipe.
The loaf is very tasty indeed and the herb and onion is not overpowering. I'm looking forward to having some tomorrow with the leek and potato soup I made.

quite an unusual flavour i'm sure but I love onion bread so i bet this is great… and what an INCREDIBLE lift you have on that loaf my dear… I love all your baking books to… so glad you enjoyed your random recipes this month, thanks so much for taking part x

Thanks Dom, I was pleased with the lift and the texture. Even for a bread machine loaf it was incredible, I think the yogurt may have helped.
May 12, 2013
A lovely looking (and sounding) loaf. I love onion in bread but I've never thought of combining it with dill. Sounds delicious!
May 12, 2013
Oh thats looks yummy…great flavours for a loaf too. x

Oh my goodness…now that really is a random recipe! Your bread looks really good and I'd love to try a slice as it's so unusual! 🙂
May 13, 2013
What a lovely looking loaf – really tall and impressive. I do find that using yogurt or buttermilk in bread really adds to the flavour and texture and this certainly looks successful!

What a delicious bread – I'd love a slice (or two!). The texture looks so pillow-soft!

Impressive looking loaf, Janice. I would love a cheese sandwich made with that.

For those of you who haven't met, this is Chalsee! She is one of our missionaries living in the Brunot House. She has been attending our summer camps for over 15 years. She has always wanted to live at Camp Daniel and be one of our missionaries. When asked why she wanted to move to and become a missionary, she replied, "I love God and want to tell others about God." She also said that she wanted to be a part of a community, working on meaningful projects and helping others. Last year, with the help of caring family and advocates in her life, she was able to reach her goal and moved to camp. Since then, she has been involved in many different activities and wearing many different hats.
Each day is a little different for Chalsee. Some days, she works with Jake, Cardo, Richard, and Nick doing whatever the project is of the day. She does anything and everything from moving and hauling tools and supplies, sanding, sorting, sweeping, and cleaning, to name a few. In the picture above, she is sanding drawers for one of the supply cabinets in the Tool Storage Room.
Here, she is sanding an old pew from Trinity, where Pastor John and Tony use to pastor. It will be placed in The Barn once it is refinished. Chalsee enjoys sanding and has the patience and endurance needed to do such tedious, fine motor work. Whenever there is down time in-between jobs, she quickly gravitates to the sanding project, where as for the other guys, this would not be their first choice. It is good that we all have different skills and interests, which can benefit the community.
During the summertime, Chalsee helps Trish with the gardens and landscaping. She pulls weeds, shovels dirt, rakes leafs, and water plants. She also helps Trish with planting and transplanting plants on the grounds.
The kitchen is another place Chalsee works and enjoys. During summer camp, helps Trish in the kitchen, as well as, maintains supplies and cleans in the dinning hall. In our "off season", Chalsee helps Trish put on any meals we serve during our workdays and retreats held on the grounds.
Chalsee uses her craft skills here around camp, too. She has knitted several hats and scarfs to be sold at The Able Church Christmas Fair. She has also helped make decorations that needed to be made for special events and summer camp craft projects.
When she is not doing any of the above tasks, Chalsee watches MJ! This is helpful in many ways. Not only does MJ enjoy it when Chalsee "comes to play", if frees Jen up to attend to some of the tasks she needs to accomplish for camp. More importantly, Chalsee is very good with kids and it is something she really enjoys.
Here, Chalsee (on the end), is competing in Special Olympics basketball for Marinette County. She also participates during the bowling and track seasons. This is a great way for Chalsee to build relationships, staying connected with campers and her friends, as well as, making new friends.
As you see, Chalsee wears many hats. The astonishing thing is that God knew it all along! Prior to Chalsee moving to camp, she had been attending Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, taking classes in Gardening, Cooking, Art, and Childcare. Little did she know she would be using all those skills today here at Camp Daniel!
One of the goals at Camp Daniel is help people find the purpose God gives each of us, and come along side each other to help reach these goals.
This past year has given Chalsee a chance to explore several different areas of ministry. Pray with Chalsee as she continues to explore the many opportunities camp has for her moving forward. We are all excited to see how she will be transformed into the person God intended her to be. It will be exciting to watch if she will excel and focus in one specific area or continue to wear many hats.

"With the big scene that it is on a major and all the attention ... you're used to all the media and the hype," he said. "So it almost feels a little bit relaxing to go back to a regular PGA Tour event. So you come back from an extreme to normal, which makes normal feel even less. I think maybe that takes a little bit of pressure off."

Re: Henry Harms b. about 1812 Middlesex England
Suzanne Fragall 4/21/05
Hi Suzanne,
I would be interested to hear about your tree.
I am also descended from Richard and Mary. But I cant find a Henry in my tree which was compiled by a cousin about forty years ago. The Harms and the Spooners intermarried a lot in the eighteenth century.
I am decended from Richard's son Joseph. (b 1815)and I have information about his brother Benjamin's descendants. None is called Henry.
Incidentally, according to my tree which was compiled before the internet, Richard's father was John Harms (1742 to 1817)married Catherine Woods in 1763 and his father was
Robert Harms (1704 to 1765) married Elizabeth Lee on 1734. And his father was John Harms married to Ann. I have no dates for him but both John and Robert also appear as Harm.
Re the German/British question, I suspect the name was common in both countries but has become rare over here.
hope this was of interest
Best wishes
Tony Harms

Co Tyrone Euromillions winner Margaret Loughrey bans children's football club from playing on pitch on her land
A Co Tyrone Euromillions winner has banned a football club from playing on her land.
Margaret Loughrey won €32m back in 2013 and previously revealed plans to build a €10m sporting complex for her community.
She laid the foundations for her plans when she purchased local football pitch, the Brae Field.
Now, however, she has given the boot to a soccer club which had used the pitch as their home ground for 28 years.
Sion Swifts FC are appealing for millionaire Maggie to allow them to return, as they are currently homeless.
The Northern Ireland club have even set up a fundraising page to help them get a new pitch, provided Ms Loughrey doesn't have a change of heart.
Danny Gallagher, a Sion Swifts official, took to Facebook to express his disappointment at her decision.
He wrote: "For 45 years of my life, I have known the Brae Field as my 'Field of Dreams'.
"With sadness, deep regret, and tears in my eyes, I have to say that I am devastated that we will never be back at my Field of Dreams".
"The verbal abuse, with such venom and hatred, that was hurtled at myself, players and kids on Thursday evening at the Brae was nothing short of disgraceful as we were told by the current owner to "Get off my F......g land" with some kids going home very shaken by the incident."
This is not the first time the woman, from Strabane in Co Tyrone, has caused controversy amongst clubs in the Red Hand county.
Shortly after hitting the jackpot in 2013, she banned Sion Mills Cricket Club from playing on the land – despite the fact they had used it for almost 150 years.
Contacted by the Ulster Herald, Ms Loughrey told the paper: "People can say what they want...the paper can print what it wants. I don't care. I have no comment to make."

A lot has been happening at Kant and Laws over the summer. Our public outreach continued with the 2014 Royal Institution lectures (which you can read about below) and our second annual workshop: 'Kant and the Laws of Physics', held in King's College Cambridge. All were great events, and, even better, are now available in our audiovisual gallery. From the workshop we have: Rae Langton on 'Matter and Monadology', Michela Massimi on 'Kant on Matter, Space and the Laws of Motion', Desmond Hogan on 'Handedness, Idealism and Freedom' and Daniel Warren on 'The Penetrability of Matter: Mechanical and Chemical'; and from the Royal Institution lectures John O'Keefe's 'Immanuel Kant: Pioneer Neuroscientist' and Karl Friston's 'Life as We Know It'. We hoped to bring you Sandra Mitchell's excellent talk too, but, unfortunately, a technical glitch at the Ri stopped it from being recorded. Still, I'm sure you'd agree, it's an audiovisual bonanza with plenty to keep you going until term begins. Enjoy!

A Day of No Obligations
Only 6 people going over the pass, 4 from the Czech Republic and not much English in their repertoire so I slept in until 6:45. After morning call-in and bfast with Kyle at the Ranger Station I head up the pass for a day of "art making". Above the mosquito zone there is nothing for me to do but paint, photograph, draw and sit. The sun is out in the morning turning the lush valley brilliantly green. Waterfalls and flowers. Today is a flower day.

I wondered if any reader could help with information regarding David Sherwood Jones.
David was a photographer, we know that he sold his business in Matlock and left for America, leaving his wife and family behind. This was between 1888 and 1891.
Many years ago the family was told that in 1920(ish) he returned to Matlock with his new wife, and that this was reported in a local paper.
I am trying to find descendants of one of his children, Minnie Sherwood Jones who married Sidney Maskery/Maskrey. They married in 1898 and lived in Ashling Street, Nottingham for many years, and I understand that their descendants now reside in Nottingham and the Matlock area.
Sid and Minnie had a son John Henry, born in 1906, who with wife Dorothy Pearson had a son called John, born in 1930s. Daughter Nora married one Claude H. Spencer, in 1940, and their son was also John,
Finally Rosa Lillian married Walter J. Hallam in 1932, and had a son Walter.
I am hoping that the current family may throw some light on this illusive chap, or possibly have some photographs of Minnie and her family.
I can be contacted via the address below.

Last night I finished one of my Fall scrapbook pages but needed to wait until today for natural lighting to take my pictures. I love the colors of fall and enjoy making scrapbook pages of trips to the pumpkin patch with my grandsons and family.
My page is all about Fall colors, inks, and Liquid Pearls. I used a new technique I saw on the Ranger Ink website with Liquid Pearls, and inks. I used three colors of Liquid Pearls on my craft sheet, mixed in a little water, ran my paper through the mixture, heat dried, then blended two different distress inks. The ink only sticks to the unpainted parts of the paper. Then I stamped the leaf stamp with black archival ink, cut it out, and used a pop dot to apply it to my page.
With some of the extra sections of the paper left over from the above stamping, I stamped the Fall Colors stamp.
Ranger Liquid Pearls: Gold Pearl, Cantaloupe, Chestnut
Distress Ink: ripe persimmon, gathered twigs, brushed corduroy
Background Paper: Bo Bunny - Autumn Song
Stamps: TH Stampers Anonymous Autumn Blueprint; Close To My Heart

Hi, all. David here.
Our good friend Edmund Schubert was supposed to return to Magical Words today for a guest appearance. Unfortunately family health issues got in the way of his plans and he is not able to join us. A.J., who usually posts on Fridays, is taking a well-deserved day off, and that leaves us without a post for the day.
So, here I am riffing, trying to think of what to do with the day that will be amusing and engaging without taking up time that I don't have.
And what I've come up with is writing advice Haiku. Yes, you heard me — writing advice Haiku. I got the idea from my friend Tim Rohr, who recently interviewed me for the MiFi Writers of Michigan Speculative Fiction. At his request, I ended the interview with this little gem:
Put your butt in chair
Make your own inspiration
Because writers write.
But I feel that I should come up with a fresh one for today, so here goes:
"That's right," he opined
"Said-bookisms are taboo."
"Oh!" she exclaimed. "Crap."
Your turn!

I got a few minutes to play this past weekend, actually I was home alone for the first time in I do not even know how long - for four whole hours, while the men folk took in a hockey game! So some tea, some tunes and some fun Jillibean Soup papers were on the agenda.
I have had these Spicy Social Soup papers on my desk for a while now, hoping to find time to play. I thought this photo of my youngest playing Minecraft with friends via Skype was perfect for these papers.
I started by creating this background cut file and just played around from there, filling in random circles with thee fab patterns. Okay not so randomly filled in, I really tried to do random as I love the look - but my brain just can't go there - too OCD I guess.
I tucked in some journaling behind my photo on a little 3 x 4 cut apart card.
I used some great Jillibean sticker and die cut elements as well as some Simple Stories alphas to create my title. Then I added in some Doodlebug enamel dots for fun.
More stickers and a wood button adorn the corner of my photo.
I also added some fun layers below my photo. I wanted to add in as many of these great patterns as I could!
Have you seen the new Jillibean Soup goodies coming out of the recent CHA, I cannot wait to get my hands on some of them!
Thanks for visiting!

I think that you should save you money and get a ruger Single Six. I've fired the Heritage and for the money, they are ok but they absolutely do not compare to a Ruger. I bought my son one of the FIE Texas Ranger 3" curved butt revolvers back in 1988 because at the time, I couldn't afford to get him a Ruger Bearcat that he really wanted.
The FIE revolvers are the same as the Heritage and I have to say that his has been fired many thousands of times since I bought it and it is still hanging in there.
This is a pic that I found on the net of the Heritage, my son's 23 year old FIE looks EXACTLY like this one. I would take a picture of his but he lives in South Carolina and I live in KS so...
My Single SIx that I paid less than the sticker price on the Heritage three years ago.
Save up for a used Ruger, you won't regret it.

Eluveitie release new digital single 'Epona'
ELUVEITIE have released a new digital single!
The new single, titled Epona, is taken from the band's upcoming new acoustic album, Evocation II: Pantheon, and is scheduled to be released in August. Speaking about the album artwork and new single, band founder Chrigel Glanzmann says, "Evocation II is a journey back to the source of it all: Antumnos, the other world. Join us on this wayfare through the Celtic pantheon, the world of the gods of our ancestors! The album cover expresses nothing less but exactly this! It's full of symbolism and meaning and depicts things of deepest meaning and importance in Celtic mythology. The symbol contains the 'great wheel', symbolizing the wheel of the year with the four seasons and the equinoxes – forming the foundations of Celtic mythology. The great wheel is framed by a tripartite Enneagram; while three is an important number in Celtic mythology in general, we also face trinity in the Celtic pantheon! While the inner circle contains the initials of the names of the deities revered on this album – arranged tripartitedly according to their relations within the pantheon and place in the mythology – the outer circle utters an invitation as well as a blessing, a magical benediction for the one to dare to enter and set forth on this journey. The core of the symbol implies triune symbolism. The depiction shows the god Lugus, who was sometimes also addressed in the plural – Lugoves – since he's a triune god, as well as a tricephalos. The 'one with the skillful hand' and 'artisan of all skills' is depicted and a combination of two important symbols: On the one hand he's shown as 'high king' (and druid of druids), a typical gallic symbolism of an essential meaning and significance. On the other hand he's framed by the gallic 'lord of the animals/lord of life' symbolism: The character surrounded with diverse animals, but being strongly connected with all of them at the same time. So after all, the album cover vibrantly and mystically expresses the content of Evocation II! Join & let the journey begin!"
Listen to Epona here:
Evocation II: Pantheon is set for release on August 18th via Nuclear Blast Records.

How much do you use "var" in C#?
While watching the video of Anders Hejlsberg, I happened to notice how he apparently uses "var" almost for everything, while I use it extremely sparingly, if at all.
I realize it's mostly a matter of personal preference, but he being the father of C#, I wonder if this is what the language is really supposed to look like... what's your take on "var"?
I only use var for the occasional anonymous type, or when I'm doing complex linq (like grouping) and find that I can't guess the output type.
I prefer explicit types: this is C#, not PHP!
I use it all the time. It makes the code neater when you have a long list of different types of variables.
You should use it all the time, it removes repetition.
VeryLongClassName veryLongClassName = new VeryLongClassName() reads far much worse than
var veryLongclassName = new VeryLongClassName();
It really isn't about preference but about readability. The only time not to use var is when you are returning something like an IAsyncResult or a Dictionary, where it helps to be explicit about what the variable is.
Why repeat the same thing thrice?
I only use it for temporary local variables. Meaning I am going to use it right away and be done with it. But, most of time I prefer strong type. Var is less predictable, which I don't like.
How so? It is just as strongly typed as anything else.
It is not strongly typed at compile time, unless I am wrong. The compiler can validate the type before runtime?
It is strongly typed at assignment time, that is what type inference is, validation has nothing to do with it.
You can only use it within the local scope of a method anyway. If you think about it, the original question is asking if the Chief Architect of the C# Language and .NET Framework is wrong, and does not know what he is doing?
Anders is right, and you should use var wherever it improves readability, and omits triplicate duplication in declaring variables.
It is strongly typed. If you mouse over the variable in the IDE it'll even tell you what type it is, and everything is checked by the compiler the same as if you had explicitly named the type. The type is statically determined by the compiler based on the expression that initializes the variable, and cannot change afterwards.
Don't confuse "var" with "dynamic".
What is the performance penalty of var?
Are these two statements identical in the byte code:
StringBuilder something = new StringBuilder();
var something = new StringBuilder();
Also, if they're identical then why use a var at all? Readability is only a mild argument. If you cared about readability you'd be using Visual Basic .Net to begin with.
Last question is - look at this code and tell me what type it would be assigned:
var foo = null; try { Bar.Create(foo, Bar.SuperBar); if(foo == null) throw new Exception("I dun failed!"); } catch(Exception ex) { // I only made this exception handling block to create a realistic scenario involving null assignment } Response.Write(foo.DoSomething(Bar.MagicalBar)); Response.End();
var foo = null; will fail, because it is not specific enough for the type to be inferred.
var something = new StringBuilder(); is equivalent to StringBuilder something = new StringBuilder();
You would type that, because it's fewer keystrokes and less redundant.
I use var all the time in my own code. I rarely use it in work code, because, as demonstrated in this thread, most don't understand how var works and make erroneous conclusions about its usage.
@ManipUni: At the moment I am writing in both C# and Visual Basic (not out of choice mind). In general once you have a complex application, long namespaces and classnames are inescapable, and I like to read a line of code without having to use my scroll bar, so var makes things very readable where the verbosity of Visual Basic can be counter to your assertion above.
Your code also would not compile as the first line would raise an error saying that you cannot assign a null value to an implicitly signed variable.
The main place where I'll use var is in a scenario like this:
foreach( KeyValuePair<string, int> item in dictionary ) { } // Becomes a lot easier with foreach( var item in dictionary ) { }
I rarely use it for regular locals.
And yeah, the type must be possible to inferred from the initialization of the variable, so Manip's sample doesn't compile.
I see. I thought it is dynamic. But, since it cannot change typy after first call. I will do it. Yeah, it should be cleaner because now I can see all the var similar to Dim.
Hehe, that's me.
So var is unusable when you are using any kind of exception handling around initialisation? That seems like a massive drawback to its usefulness.
You're stuck between a rock and hard place, you need to define variables outside of the exception handled blocks (since the compiler cannot predict the route the execution will take within that context) but to a var you must initialise them to a type in order to use them.
How about this example, how would you refactor this into a var version of the same?
StreamReader sr = null; string content; try { sr = new StreamReader(@"C:\Temp\example.txt"); content = sr.ReadToEnd(); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine("Source: " + ex.Source + " Message: " + ex.Message); return; } finally { if(sr != null) sr.Close(); } Console.Write(content); Console.ReadKey();
You cannot refactor that to use var. Var can only infer the type from the variable's initialization expression, and in this case it has none.
Var was primarily designed for use with LINQ, where the result of LINQ expression can be very complex to express explicitly, or even include anonymous types (in which case it can't be expressed explicitly).
I guess in theory you could create a compiler under which your example works (infer the type using the first assignment if it has no initialization), but that would strain the boundaries of readability and run into issue if determining what's the first assignment is ambiguous.
I use var a lot in foreach statements but have also started to use it more often when my class names are large and it becomes easier to write var repository = new SqlCustomerBookingRepository();

FOOTPATH improvements to Lancaster Park are the top highways priority for Morpeth councillors.
Members have put forward a case for a survey of the pavements and remedial measures to be taken on the estate and at Leslies View as their main concern in the Local Transport Plan programme.
The council will also request an extension of yellow lines at Curly Kews to prevent obstruction.
The issues, identified by the town council's Planning and Transport Committee, have been forwarded to Northumberland County Council for consideration.

K-MART will join with Wesfarmers stablemate Coles to anchor the second stage of the 24ha Churchill Centre development at Kilburn.
Listed property developer Axiom Properties has also secured a Coles Express petrol station for the northern segment of the site, and is on the lookout for more retailers to occupy more than 50 tenancies within the new district shopping centre.
A prominent food court is planned, and Leedwell Property senior leasing executive Emma Reid said early interest in the remaining tenancies had been strong, in what was an otherwise difficult retail environment.
"Making something retail come out of the ground is totally going against the grain,'' she said.
"But to have that land mass less than 6km from the city, and to be able to offer a brand new centre - that's a rare opportunity.''
Churchill Centre North comprises 18ha of land and is designed to incorporate more than 40,000sq m of retail space, which Ms Reid said could include supermarkets, discount stores and other small-sized retailers.
"We're also targeting medical and other auxiliary uses, and high-density residential might also be considered for future stages,'' she said.
Trading on the southern section of Churchill Centre officially kicked off late last year, with the opening of a 12,600sq m Bunnings hardware. Axiom later sold the property to Stonebridge Property for $18.8 million.
Axiom general manager Paul Rouvray said early trading had been positive, in a location central to a mature catchment.
"More than 75 per cent of Adelaide's inner metropolitan residents live within a 30 minute drive of the centre and we're continuing to turn defunct land into premium retail land,'' he said.
McDonald's is seeking approval for a restaurant within the Churchill Centre South precinct.
The site has also been earmarked as a potential location for Costco's first South Australian store but Mr Rouvray declined to comment on whether the company was in negotiations with the bulk retailer.
Axiom, which retains a 50 per cent interest in the larger of the two sites that make up the Gepps Cross Homemaker Centre, has taken that property off the market as a result of soft property conditions. It had listed the property for sale in April last year.
It has also sold its leasehold interest in 6.5ha of land adjacent to the homemaker centre, which it held with joint venture partners Harvey Norman and Charter Hall, who have also sold out of their interests in the development land.
Mr Rouvray said the next stages of the company's Worldpark campus-style office development at Keswick were also on the backburner, pending a recovery in market conditions.
Construction works on the district shopping centre at Churchill Centre North are due to begin later this year.

South Londonderry, Vermont (PressExposure) March 06, 2012 -- The Institute for Advanced Medical Education (IAME) is introducing an important new conference for radiologists, 'Managing the Incidentaloma,' set to take place at the Wynn Las Vegas April 20-21. The faculty assembled for this symposium, led by Michael P. Federle, MD, FACR, includes members of the ACR Incidental Findings Committee and will discuss the most common incidentalomas encountered during interpretation of thoraco-abdominal CT and MR.
Incidentaloma is a colloquial term used by radiologists to denote a mass or lesion encountered unexpectedly during exams performed for other reasons. The rapidly growing capabilities of diagnostic imaging equipment are increasing the occurrence of incidental findings and present many clinical and medicolegal challenges for the physician, not to mention the patient. For this reason the conference has been subtitled '...breaking the curse of modern imaging.' 'Managing the Incidentaloma' is a groundbreaking opportunity for radiologists to better understand ways to navigate this conundrum. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the most common incidentalomas through lectures, medicolegal discussions and case-based reviews.
Irwin Kuperberg, president of IAME said, "This is an important event for radiologists and other imagers because it will allow them to confront and confidently manage the incidentaloma challenge. It is our intention at IAME that by presenting this continuing medical education event we can provide a valuable service to physicians and patients alike."

The prodigal son is returning home. Kasey Keller, a native of Lacey, Wash., is set to join Seattle Sounders FC. The club, which will become the 15th member of MLS in 2009, has scheduled a press conference for Thursday to announce the signing.
Since graduating from the University of Portland, the 38-year-old has played his professional soccer at the highest levels in Europe. He first made a name for himself with English club Milwall and then in 1996 became the No. 1 at Leicester City, where he backstopped the club to the League Cup in 1997.
In the summer of 1999, he moved to Spain and two seasons with Rayo Vallecano in La Liga before returning to the Premier League with Tottenham. For four seasons he battled first with Neil Sullivan and then with Paul Robinson for the starting position, but in 2005, he moved on to German side Borussia Mönchengladbach and almost single-handedly saving the club from relegation.
In 2007, he went back to London, hooking up with Fulham and helping the Cottagers' escape relegation with some scintillating late-season performances.
The long-time U.S. international has 102 caps to his name and was the starting keeper for the Americans at the World Cup in 2006.
Keller has long planned to finish his career in MLS. Now it appears he will have his way.
However, because Seattle does not start play until next season, there is speculation about Keller's immediate future. Could he be loaned out to another club? To another MLS club? Will he work for the Sounders helping technical director Chris Henderson build the team? (At this point, only one player has been signed, Sebastian Le Toux, the captain of the Seattle Sounders' USL team.)
Whatever he does, his return to MLS signals both a splashy introduction for the new club in the Pacific Northwest and the end of one of the United States' most successful European careers.

This is something I've struggled with. Putting things off, that I know should be done immediately.
I use distraction as my tool for procrastination.
Why we put things off, when it's clearly in our self-interest to just do them now, is not about laziness but about fear.
A fear that we won't do it well enough. A fear that we'll screw everything up.
Now, I think the fear is subtle and sub-conscious, but it's just enough to nudge us onto Twitter or Vimeo for a few hours, blowing off what we should be doing.
It's easier to blow off something that is hard (and if you're in creative services you know creating great work is hard as hell) than dive in and risk not doing it well.
If you've struggled with this, here are some ways I've tried to address it.
3 ways to overcome this
For me getting past this issue and being more productive is about 3 things : My mindset, My Schedule & My Health.
1. Make a proclamation that you will do your best.
One of the best ways I've overcome this problem is simply to get my head right.
Snapping out of my distraction mode can be as simple as reminding myself that i'm not being logical, and i'm only letting the work pile up.
My thought process in my head looks something like this:
I need to get this done. Even though I may feel like blowing it off. I said I was going to do it; and I will follow through on this commitment.
I'll give it my best and focus on the process. I'll work deliberately to do it at a high quality and have fun with it. If I don't know how to do something, I won't panic inside, I'll do my best to figure it out. I'll learn as I go and do my best.
I'll work on this for 60 minutes and then I'll take a break. I'm going to tune out email, twitter and all other distractions so I can focus on this task.
It's ok if it's not perfect, it's a process."
2. Make to do lists with your 5 top priorities for that day.
The shorter your to do list, the more impactful you're likely to be.
Don't try and do everything, strive to do a few things really well.
To do lists come with the added satisfaction of checking something off a list and allows your productivity to snowball.
3. Get some exercise during lunch, it'll re-boot your brain.
Play a sport, go for a swim, exercise, basically get your heart rate up and sweat a little.
Exercise re-boots your brain and clears the cob-webs.
After a great mid-day workout, it sets you up for a really productive afternoon session.
Bottom Line
Procrastination is less about laziness and more about anxiety and fear.
If you're like me and you're easily distracted by shiny pointless distractions, then I hope these tips can equip you to overcome it.

This design is inspired by the dalmatian pelican native to Eastern Europe, a majestic bird and the largest living creature that can fly. In Egyptian mythology, the pelican symbolizes the afterlife. Like other pelicans, these creatures like to stay near the shores. We think this cashmere wrap will inspire you to stay near the shores too, perhaps a walk on the beach, a day at the boardwalk, or a dinner on the docks of fresh oysters and crab. This scarf is a loose-weave blend of 80% cashmere pashmina and 20% silk for a luxurious feel, ultra lightweight and subtle sheen that doesn't pill. Plus, it is 100% handmade in Nepal, meaning the wool is hand spun, hand woven, and hand dyed and the fabric is screen printed by hand.

I coached a professional photographer a few years back. He needed something like 30 minutes of help before he was loading his images every which way onto his portfolio blog. Someone with limited exposure to photography, however, could struggle for months trying to grasp the dynamics of image processing and placement. Cropping, sizing, correcting, coding and uploading images can be maddening for those without experience and/or aptitude. Don't get me wrong: Anyone can learn to upload … [Read more...]

Image loading in WordPress 3.5
How to use the new WordPress media loader (photos, etc.). To upload an image and insert it into a post/page, begin at the same location as before, atop the post's type-menu bar. "Add Media" replaces "Upload/Insert" (the camera graphic). "Add Media" leads to the main interface for loading. Use the pulldown for filtering if needed: "All Media Items" or "Uploaded to this page," etc. But for initial loading just work with the big stack of thumbnails there, ignoring any images not … [Read more...]

Hobart, Washington (PressExposure) November 25, 2008 -- Jogging Tip has just released a new section of their website that has all of the basics on Jogging, 5K Training, and 5k Races. This is part of a new community website that is all about Jogging. Members and non-members can visit this Jogging page on the Jogging Tip website for free at: http://www.joggingtip.com/.
Here is an excerpt from the new Jogging information webpage:
âJogging as a form of exercise is difficult to define. Saying that it is form of movement that is faster than walking and slower than running is really meaningless. One generally accepted definition is that running at a speed of 6 mph or slower is jogging. But since you may jog at a faster pace, a good way of looking at jogging, as opposed to running, is that when you run at your own pace for your own pleasure (or because you want to lose weight!) you are jogging and when you are in competition with others, it is running.
The origin of the term jogging is not known but one of the earliest recorded instanced of its use as a form of running or exercise is in Shakespeareâs âTaming of the Shrewâ written in 1593 where the heroine tell someone to go jogging till his boots turn green. While running, or roadwork, has been around as a form of exercise and physical training for a long time, the modern concept of it came to America in the early 1960s when Bill Bowerman, the University of Oregon track coach, picked up the habit during a visit to New Zealand and popularized it on his return home. Today it is one of the most popular forms of exercise in the country.â
There is plenty of more information on the new general information Jogging website that can be found by visiting: http://www.joggingtip.com/. There is also a special going on now that allows members to gain access to free ebooks and other free materials just for signing up as a member of the jogging website for free at: http://www.joggingtip.com/ Users should check back often to the Jogging general page as more information will be added as the website expands and grows.
About Jogging Tip: Jogging Tip is a Community Site that brings users into a deeper relationship with Jogging, 5K Training, and Joggers from all over the world, and other jogging community members.

Maker Faire Bay Area 2014 Wrap-up
I had a blast at this year's Maker Faire as usual! We got in early on Friday and set up the booth. After setup, Maker Faire Bay Area hosts a happy hour/dinner for all the makers so we can mingle and get to know each other. Gerard's Paella was there with their delicious paellea:
Maker Faire had a photo booth set up this year with the robot:
We got there early this year, so we got to walk around and see a few of the exhibits in between setting up and dinner:
Here are some of the soaps we made together:
Samantha was just one of my many awesome booth assistants!
Did you make soap with me and forget to pick it up? It's lost and found time! If this is your soap, email me at email@example.com and I'll ship it to you from Austin! I'll hang on to them for one month.
Until the next one! I'm planning on heading to Kansas City at the end of June and Detroit for their Maker Faires with my Make Your Own Soap booth.

Former world No 1 Tiger Woods does not know when he will play golf again.
The 39-year-old was speaking at a press conference ahead of the Hero World Challenge, the 18-man tournament hosted by his foundation, but he will not be playing in the Bahamas this week and says he does not know "where is the light at the end of the tunnel".
Asked about his return from back surgery, Woods, who has not played since the Wyndham Championship in August, said: "I have no answer for that. Neither does my surgeon or my physio. There is no timetable.
"There is nothing I can look forward to, nothing I can build towards."
The 14-time major winner said he has not been able to begin rehabilitation work for the two back operations he has had since his last start over three months ago.
He revealed video games have been one of his main pastimes but said cannot bend over to pick up a ball when playing with his children.
Asked about what physical activity he is able to do, Woods replied: "I walk. And I walk. I'm just walking, and that's it. Where is the light at the end of the tunnel? I don't know."

Last week I burnt my right hand taking a bowl out of the microwave. The only thing that would make it feel better was to keep it wrapped in a ice filled cloth or running cold water on it.
For over four hours I was unable to blog. I couldn't do much of anything.
It killed me.
That incident confirmed I'm addicted to blogging.
Today's Lesson
Let's have some fun today and share what makes a blogoholic. 🙂
You know you're a blogoholic when:
1) You reply to an email from your boss and say "thank you for the link love"
2) Your significant other wants to get intimate, but before you do, you sneak to your computer to check your stats.
3) Your neighbor comes by and asks you if you can help him with his (fence) post, and you reply, "Oh, are you a blogger, too?"
4) You're at a local city meeting where they are discussing how to count the traffic that travels down a specific street. Your mind is on your blog, you hear the word "traffic' and raise your hand and say, "I would recommend Google Analytics".
5) You're thrilled when you make $.03 on an AsSense ad. Celebrations begin when you make your first dollar.
Okay, I started it, now it's up to you.
Today's Assignment
Have fun and share your thoughts on how to tell if someone is a blogoholic.
Feel free to speak from your own experiences as well.
I'm looking forward to what you all come up with.
