Dwight Howard isn't Dwight Howard.
He's not the dunk-tastic, shot-blocking force of energy under the basket that he used to be.
But why? The Lakers center continues to point to back surgery last April to repair a herniated disk.
"It's one of the biggest factors," Howard said after practice Saturday. "Coming off the injury, I only had four weeks to get ready for the season, which was training camp and then preseason. I didn't really have a chance to really get in good shape. It's hard trying to get in shape during the season playing a lot of minutes and traveling."
So, is he getting where he wants to be physically?
"I'm not even close," he said. "I used to play 45, 48 minutes without really getting tired. Now I have five possessions, I'm winded. I just know how much more effective I will be in better shape and that just comes with time. Unfortunately, it cost us a lot of games, but we've got an opportunity to make history. I'm going to try and do whatever I can to help this team win."
Howard has shown shades of a revival, including his 19-point, 16-rebound effort in a 111-107 victory Friday over Portland.

On March 19, the Torreys came out firing. After the first rotation, they went up with a 5-1 lead. The doubles teams and singles players kept picking off sets until they claimed a dominant 12-6 victory.
Singles and doubles contributed equally, providing six sets each. Senior Jack Murphy went 3-3 in singles while senior Alex Khorsandian and his partner, junior David Shaw, swept their doubles sets as well. Freshman Ryan Tran continues to impress, bringing in two sets without losing single game. Sophomore Max Mereles added one more win for the singles lineup. Seniors Gabriel Pamich and Amir Ferry won two doubles sets, while sophomore Andrew Schiffman and freshman Randall Kras contributed one set.
Junior Ethan Krant had this to say after the match: "Having lost to [La Jolla High] in CIF last year, it was a great feeling to come back this year and beat them. I hope to continue these wins against them in the future."
The Torreys also defeated La Costa Canyon High School on March 20. The team played another great match to beat the Mavericks 11-7, with senior Murphy sweeping all of his singles sets. The Torreys will continue their season after school begins again on April 8.

Archipelagic English: Literature, History, and Politics 1603-1707
OUP Oxford, Feb 7, 2008 - Literary Criticism - 599 pages
Seventeenth-century 'English Literature' has long been thought about in narrowly English terms. Archipelagic English corrects this by devolving anglophone writing, showing how much remarkable work was produced in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, and how preoccupied such English authors as Shakespeare, Milton, and Marvell were with the often fraught interactions between ethnic, religious, and national groups around the British-Irish archipelago. This book transforms our understanding of canonical texts from Macbeth to Defoe's Colonel Jack, but it also shows the significance of a whole series of authors (from William Drummond in Scotland to the Earl of Orrery in County Cork) who were prominent during their lifetimes but who have since become neglected because they do not fit the Anglocentric paradigm. With its European and imperial dimensions, and its close attention to the cultural make-up of early modern Britain and Ireland, Archipelagic English authoritatively engages with, questions, and develops the claim now made by historians that the crises of the seventeenth century stem from the instabilities of a state-system which, between 1603 and 1707, was multiple, mixed, and inclined to let local quarrels spiral into all-consuming conflict. This is a major, interdisciplinary contribution to literary and historical scholarship which is also set to influence present-day arguments about devolution, unionism, and nationalism in Britain and Ireland.

(1 Reviews)
Hello! My
name is Clara :) I'm
a college student, looking for some
fun in between all
the studying I'm supposed to be
doing. I recently
changed my major, now I am a
psychology student
and would just love to have someone
new to play with my
mind. Maybe I could play with your
head, too.
I am fond of parties
and hanging out at the bar down the
street from campus. I
just love getting all dolled up
for a night of
drinking and dancing up against some cute
guy. My roommate says
I tease too much, but I always say
that it isn't teasing
if you end up giving a taste :)
I'm interested in all
kinds of things. I love nature,
hiking, walking,
jogging, movies, most music, travel,
reading, doodling
little hearts in the margins of my
notebooks. I plan on
getting a PHD some day, but for
now, I really just
want to have a good time. I am open
to talking about
anything! So If I sound like someone
you would like to get
to know, please feel free to call
me! I'd love to talk
to you.
My friends tell me
that I am too innocent. That I won't
be able to handle
your fantasies and I will be too shy.
It's true that I am
somewhat timid. But, I've been
thinking about this
and it's really kind of exciting. I
had a really good
time taking pictures for you, and
thinking about
getting calls from hot guys all the time
is pretty awesome. I
got a little nervous when we put my
pics up for you, but
Keen won't show naked pictures, so
I'm not blushing that
bad yet.
I did take some you
See, I'm not that shy all the
time. I know a guy
doesn't need a big fake boobied tramp
to make him happy. I
mean, sure, they look good - but I
can tempt you with my
looks and my charm. You want a
young, sweet,
interesting girl to talk to. One who is
sincere and is
interested in what you say! Even if
all you say is
"oh baby, Clara you're so hot, ohhh"
I can get into that!!
and a lot more too.
I am very sensual, soft. I
really get into
Affectionate, I will
never leave you frustrated. I will
make sure your mind,
body and soul get pampered with my
totally unique
perspective on what we can be doing.
You will be so
surprised when I tell you all of my
fantasies. I think I
am pretty forward for my age. I
haven't done much,
but I want to. I have a real thirst
for knowledge and
experience and I need someone a little
older to teach me
everything I don't know.
I'm a good student, I
learn fast. You only have to tell
me once.
My sexual nature is
very experimental, spontaneous, you
might be able to talk
me into anything, and I can't wait
to hear what you have
say. Nothing freaks me out, I'm
very open minded
about what you like.
if you tell me, I'll
keep it a sexret. oops, secret!!
see, you're messing
with my mind already! talk to you
soon baby, I can't
wait for you to call me!

Poughkeepsie, NY – The United States Merchant Marine Academy men's and women's track and field teams competed at the Vassar College Twilight Meet this past weekend in Poughkeepsie, NY as the Mariners were in search of additional qualifying times and records heading into ECAC Championships.
Senior Gretchen Holoubek (Severna Park, MD), senior Jessica Tyack (Lake Isabella, CA) and freshman Kenneth Pressey (Yorktown, VA) each earned ECAC qualifying marks and personal best records as the Mariners draw close to the end of their 2013 campaign.
Holoubek shattered the USMMA record in the 5000m by over 40 seconds, winning the event with a time of 18:16.82; a full 23 seconds under the ECAC qualifying mark.
In the Triple Jump, Tyack won the meet with a distance of 10.9m; a new personal record, academy record, and ECAC qualifying jump.
Pressey's High Jump of 1.93m was not only a personal best record, but qualified him for ECAC Championships as well.
In the 800m, freshman Tomas Sanchez (Okinawa, Japan) came in a close second as he too set a new personal high, crossing the finish line in 1:53.5; ranking 39th in the nation.
Merchant Marine's men's relays did outstanding once again as the 4x100 team of Alex Waterbury, Tyler McDaniel (Colorado Springs, CO), Jacob Weaver (Clifton, TX), and Thomas Duncan (Orlando, FL) won their event with a time of 43.76s; their second best mark of the season.
The 4x400 relay of McDaniel, freshman Ian Helis (Carlisle, PA), Sanchez, and Weaver came in a close second with a time of 3:24.79; just missing out on ECACs.
Other notable finished included Weaver placing fourth overall in the 200m with a time of 23.29s and freshman Gloria Mahoney (Atlanta, GA) finishing third overall in the 400m Hurdles with a new personal best mark of 1:12.18; narrowly missing out on the USMMA record.
The Mariners have one more opportunity to nab additional qualifying marks and records this weekend as they will be competing in the May Meet in Oneonta, NY before they head to ECACs in two weeks.

And there's your fashionable answer. It appears that the already-animated pop star will lose little in translation to cartoon, sporting a seafoam-and-white punky dress accented with a tiara and platform shoes. Behold the cool-as-ice queen!
In the episode, Lady Gaga (playing herself) stops her Gaga Express train in the depressed town of Springfield and tries to boost the spirits of Lisa, who has become a complete social outcast. Using the power of positive thinking and song, can Gaga teach Lisa — and everyone in Springfield — that individuality beats conformity? We must believe so!
By the way, there will be plenty more Gaga to gawk at: This is only one of 18 outfits that she'll wear in the episode, which airs May 20 on Fox.

So what if the government tracks my phone calls?
It's a phrase I heard at a party in the wake of former National Security Agency analyst Edward Snowden's document leaks. And it's a question that will no doubt reappear at Christmas parties this year, no matter the country you live in. The NSA is global.
And this question brings us to, of all people, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California. The chair of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence wrote an op-ed in USA Today last October defending the NSA call-records program.
She got to the point:
"The call-records program is not surveillance. It does not collect the content of any communication, nor do the records include names or locations. The NSA only collects the type of information found on a telephone bill: phone numbers of calls placed and received, the time of the calls and duration. The Supreme Court has held this 'metadata' is not protected under the Fourth Amendment."
Her opening argument essentially states that the information collected is harmless. It's the phone bill most people throw in the trash. The second part discusses that when the NSA needs it, the information must be at the ready.
So I wanted to test Feinstein's argument out, the first part, the idea that phone records are not surveillance, just an innocuous collection of data.
And I wanted to see if the NSA would stand by such words. Its records collection certainly hasn't been viewed in the same way internationally. Feinstein's office didn't return a call, a message and a tweet about the NSA or the call-records program.
So I filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking Feinstein's call records. In the FOIA to the NSA, I referenced the same USA Today paragraph quoted above and then argued:
"I believe in writing this statement she's publicly waiving her privacy act rights. Therefore, her phone records are part of the public record."
On November 15th, a three-page letter came back from the NSA. Would I get Senator Feinstein's 'metadata'? I was about to find out.
The letter started off by referencing a talking point commonly used when the NSA defends its activities. It invoked terrorism and security.
"NSA is authorized to engage in these activities in order to prevent and protect against terrorist attacks, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, intelligence activities directed against the United States, international criminal drug activities, and other hostile activities directed against the United States."
As the response continued, it discussed the news coverage of NSA intelligence programs. It said the NSA can only review the "metadata" if there is "reasonable suspicion, based on specific facts, that a phone number is associated with a foreign terrorist organization." The NSA also noted that it treats the phone records with respect, and that only a select few have access to the information.
Page two finally had the NSA's response to my request:
"To the extent that your request seeks any information on Senator Feinstein in relation to NSA intelligence programs, or in relation to any specific methods or means for conducting the programs, we cannot acknowledge the existence or non-existence of such information."
I'd been Glomar'd. That's the name in the public document world for when the government neither confirms nor denies the existence of a document. It's within the right of the NSA to do so, if the request relates to classified national security records, or if a privacy right exists.
The name Glomar comes from the Glomar Explorer, a CIA ship built with the help of Howard Hughes to fetch a sunken Soviet submarine. The CIA claimed it could neither confirm nor deny the existence of documents about the ship. From there on out, Glomar was shorthand for such a rejection.
But the NSA's response to my FOIA request didn't end with the Glomar. It kept going. And things got interesting. The NSA stated that any response to such a request would allow our enemies to better understand how the NSA works. This could be problematic:
"Were we to provide positive or negative responses to requests such as yours, our adversaries' compilation of the information provided would reasonably be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security."
If you remember, all I asked for was phone records — the type of information found on a telephone bill, as Senator Feinstein put it. In this case, her telephone bill. She portrayed such data as innocuous.
But according to the FOIA response, the NSA thinks the data on any phone bill is serious stuff. A terrorist could use phone records to damage the US. Enemies could use them to understand how we spy. The release of phone records could put our country in "exceptionally grave danger."
All this gets us back to the opinion I wanted to test out: Senator Dianne Feinstein trying to convince the American public that the call-records program is not surveillance because it simply collects phone records, which are basically harmless metadata.
After receiving the NSA response, this is what I will tell my friends at Christmas:
You can argue the NSA should continue collecting such data in bulk without a warrant. You can argue that such data should be readily available for the NSA to use. You can argue the information helps the NSA connect the dots between known and suspected terrorists.
But what you can't do is try and portray the data as something less than it is.
UPDATE: There are more questions about this issue. I've reached out to the NSA FOIA office, which told me to contact the press office, which then told me to send the request in writing.
I pushed back on that, but didn't get anywhere. So I wrote this question to them: I'm curious to know if the NSA believes phone records are more than just "the type of information found on a phone bill. What do phone records mean to the NSA?
I also contacted Senator Dianne Feinstein's press office. I'll let you know when, and if, either one gets back to me.

Last Cake, Next Cake
I also have noticed that most of the recipes picked for Free Choice week tend to be from the Quick & Easy list. This makes sense to me because why would you voluntarily make a lot of trouble for yourself?
For example, both Mendy and Andrea made the Heavenly Coconut Seduction Cake. If you like coconut at all, how can you nut be tempted by a cake that has both "heavenly" and "seduction" in its name? Andrea decorated it beautifully, although she kind of apologized for just using her "standard shells and rosettes"--don't know how to break this to you, Andrea, but there are some households where shells and rosettes are not standard. Mendy doubled the recipe, for a tall, lovely layer cake, and said that his guests commented on how "fancy" it looked.
Gartblue made the Golden Lemon Almond cake, also on the Q&E list. She was actually sure that she had already made it; but then, checking her blog, realized that it was still on her to-do list. How much did she like it? Here's her response: "Whatever possessed me to make the Holiday Pinecone cake and miss this?" Hmmm. I have noticed that no one has done the Holiday Pinecone cake for a Free Choice week.
Jenn did the Spice Cake with Peanut Buttercream--on the Q&E list and the first cake that I did from Heavenly Cakes. But Jenn doesn't get full credit for doing a cake from the Q&E list because she also made Whoopie Pies, for a double catch-up week. Check out Jenn's Heavenly Cake List, in which she gives the full list of cakes to bake with the ones she's already baked crossed out. Congratulations, Jenn!
I thought at first that Vicki also did a double catch-up because she blogged about two cakes as well: the Deep Chocolate Rosebuds and the Fruitcake. But it turns out that the fruitcake is a repeat: it has already become an annual event at Vicki's house.
Lois salso did the Fruitcake Wreath, but it was brand new to her, and she was doubtful about the whole fruitcake thing: "I haven't eaten fruitcake since I was a child, and my memories mainly involve disappointment. Shouldn't a cake have frosting? And even in its candied version, I couldn't understand why anyone would eat citrus peel." But she gave it a try, and was glad she did--she likes it so much she's been eating it for breakfast.
Raymond and Jennifer both did the Apple Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake, which I assumed was on the Q&E list, but, try as I might, I couldn't find it on the list. I have no idea why it isn't, especially since Raymond said he chose it out of "pure laziness" and Jennifer has already made various incarnations of this cake from The Cake Bible. Of course, both of them liked it--how can you not like a sour cream coffee cake filled with apples and topped with crumbs?
Not everyone went the Quick and Easy route--a few took detours off to, for example, Tiramisu-land and Bostini-ville.
Nancy is not a big fan of tiramisu, but she definitely liked this, as did one of her tasters who considers herself a connoisseur of tiramisu. And Hanaa was thrilled that she finally got a make the Bostini that had received such rave reviews. She made it three different ways, and liked all three.
Katya was finally able to work in the Torta de las Tres Leches at her parents's house. She said, "The tasting panel was enthusiastic, although they refused to write down pithy, witty commentary on an index card, citing exhaustion. Several did, however, reach for a second slice." I have that same problem with Tasting Panels--they're eager enough to eat the cake but but balk at being required to come up with pithy, witty comments.
Kristina resisted the Q&E temptation and tackled one of the more complicated cakes ("really fussy" is how she put it): the Chocolate Featherbed--and did a bang-up job. You should see the thin, beautiful layers she carefully made. Kristina's post is also noteworthy in that she therein confesses to a secret vice (that is no longer secret).
I have the good luck to have already made the next two cakes on the list: the Cranberry Crown Cheesecake and the Chocolate Bulls'-Eye Cakes. (I had two parties to go to, and said I'd bring dessert to both). I know that many of you will be super busy the next few weeks, but don't miss these cakes! The cheesecake is one of Rose's patented light-but-rich cheesecakes, and it's absolutely beautiful in a ladyfinger crown.
And don't be put off by the four components in the Bulls'-Eye Cakes. All components are easy to make, and come together to make an impressive, delicious dessert. I used my MaryAnn pan (which is nice, but not essential), and I was very glad that I had it--the chocolate filling (superb!) fits perfectly in the indentation made by the pan.
Happy Solstice, everyone! At least everyone living in the northern hemisphere. Maybe you can't quite tell it yet, but days are starting to get longer at last. You can't say spring is right around the corner, but I think you can believe that it's a possibility.

I made the Chocolate Streusel Coffee cake.. did not make the cut in the recap *sad face*.. I have to confess I originally thought of making the pine cone cake.. but life happen and I got distracted with other stuff, so I went the lazy route. but, like you said Marie.. it was like going down memory lane and oh how fun... :)

The shells and rosettes have just recently become my standard. You should see my attempt at just piping text and stars from a year ago. It's not very impressive. I had plans to make some royal icing poinsettias for the coconut cake, but time ran out.
I'm looking forward to making the cheesecake tomorrow. I'm taking that for Christmas lunch at my mom's house.
- December 23, 2010 at 1:17 PM
darling marie! thank you for all your brilliant, yes witty/pithy and in depth summaries. now i have to follow the link to each and every blog to see what everyone has done. what fun it is for woody and me to relive all the many trials in the effort to approach perfection.
elliott and i are in hope for the holidays but unbelievably i forgot to water the plants so we have to drive all the way back to ny just for that and the day before xmas no less.
wishing all a wonderful holiday.
PS i was toying with the idea of putting the cinnamon crumb cake on the quick and easy but making those crumbs makes it a bit less than quick so i didn't dare. but it is one of my top favorites of all time. you can tell my favorites by how often they reappear in subsequent books s i keep finding a slightly better way to make them! (i hope you agree) and wait til you see the sticky buns in the next book. finally i have arrived at my idea of total perfection.

Does anyone know offhand exactly what the instructions mean for the base of the cranberry crown cheesecake? I know I could make the base biscuit from the Charlotte, but it would come with some extras after cutting out the base. Plus I have some egg whites that need using up -- not yolks. The recipe mentions angel food cake, which appeals to me, but I'm not sure how I would do it. Do I take one (or more) angel food "base" recipes and bake it in an 8 or 9 inch round layer pan?

one of my tasting panel later pointed out that I had not actually handed out the index cards, and therefore I was at fault if the witty pithiness was not brought.

The blog sidebar only shows the latest post from any blog. So, if you post again after posting your weekly cake, but before any given person scrolls through the list, your Heavenly Cakes Post won't be there when they read it.
I've subscribed to all the blogs in google reader, so I read all of everyone's posts anyway... at least eventually. ;)
Can anyone answer my question about using the angel food cake recipe for the cheesecake base? Thanks!

I used ladyfingers for the base. If you're going to use ladyfingers for the side, I'd just use those for the base. If you want to use angel food, I don't think it matters what shape pan you use, because you could just cut pieces and fit them into the bottom of the pan. I had a few spaces between ladyfinger pieces, and it didn't seem to matter.

When she boarded the ship that day for their journey, my mother Mary was only 25 years old. Although she had travelled with family members on holiday to Kent, England, my mother had never before been outside of Ireland by herself. Onboard the Carinthia, she was responsible not only for herself but for her only child too. My mam found a friend in the ship's stewardess who had been assigned to their cabin, and who allowed her to have a peek at some of the first class amenities, as well as the restaurant, cinema, and other areas set out for the 'tourist cabin class'. Mam loved being onboard the ship and wandered around with my brother, taking it all in.

Army Maj. Gen. Harold Greene, slain in Afghanistan, buried with honors at Arlington National Cemetery
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - The highest-ranking U.S. military officer killed in combat since the Vietnam War was buried with full honors Thursday at Arlington National Cemetery in a ceremony attended by his family and platoons of fellow warriors.
Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, of Falls Church, was killed Aug. 5 when a gunman believed to be an Afghan soldier opened fire at a military academy near Kabul.
During the ceremony, Greene's adult son tightly clasped the hands of his mother and sister as soldiers folded the flag that had draped his father's casket. While the U.S. Army Band played "America the Beautiful," Army First Lt. Matthew Greene handed a tissue to his mother, who dabbed at her eyes.
The 55-year-old two-star general went to Afghanistan in January. It was his first deployment to a war zone.
His burial included several ceremonial touches in deference to his rank. A riderless horse accompanied the caisson that carried Greene's casket to his gravesite. The hundreds of people who gathered on a mild, breezy afternoon at Arlington were startled by a 13-cannon salute and again, later, by three rifle volleys.
U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno presented the flag that had covered Greene's casket to his widow, Susan Myers, a retired Army colonel. He then handed three more flags that had touched the casket to Greene's son; his daughter, Amelia; and his father, also named Harold.
Following the ceremony, Myers placed a rose on Greene's casket and patted it as her son touched her back. Matthew, wearing his dress uniform, knelt by the casket, and then Amelia bent over and kissed it, supported by her brother.
The burial was preceded by a chapel service that was closed to reporters. Lt. Col. Juanita Chang, an Army public affairs officer, said the 650-seat chapel at Arlington was filled beyond capacity. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel attended and met with the family. Dozens of general officers also attended, and some could not find seats, Chang said.
Matthew Greene had the crowd laughing as he told stories about his father, Chang said, and Amelia Greene spoke about her father's love of New England sports. She was inspired by his optimism about the Boston Red Sox, who went the first 45 years of his life without winning the World Series. The Red Sox have since won three titles, and the family will attend a game at Fenway Park on Saturday and be honored after the 5th inning, Chang said.
Greene, known as Harry, spent most of 34-year Army career developing, building and supplying soldiers with equipment and technology.
Born in Boston and raised in New England and upstate New York, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army Corps of Engineers in 1980 after graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He later earned a Ph.D. in engineering from the University of Southern California.
In 2009-2011, he served as deputy commanding general of the Army's Research, Development and Engineering Command and senior commander of the Natick Soldier System Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen, Maryland. During that tour he gained the rank of brigadier general, and at his promotion ceremony in December 2009 he was lauded for his leadership skills and ability to inspire those around him.
"In every job I had we got things done that I think made our Army better, and it was done by other people," Greene said at the promotion ceremony, according to the Albany Times Union. "All I did was try to pull people in the right direction and they went out and did great things."

Taming the clutter during Cleanup Week
Spring is the perfect time for cleaning and re-organizing your home, and even holding a garage sale to get rid of excess clutter. But what if, in your spring cleaning adventures, you find yourself with more trash than treasure?
The City of Valley City has you covered.
As part of Spring Cleanup Week 2012, running today through Friday, the city's sanitation department will accept large volumes of household and some yard waste for no extra pickup fee.
The week is residents' best opportunity to get rid of larger items like furniture and tree branches that would normally require a special trip to the landfill. Pickups are scheduled for residents' regular garbage days, and there is no limit to the amount that can be left out. However, the city asks that the extra garbage be boxed, bagged or stored in cans no larger than 32 gallons for easier disposal.
"We do it every year to help clean areas up," Public Works sanitation superintendent Jeff Differding said, adding that the amount of garbage "usually runs quite heavy."
Crews will not pick up scrap metal, batteries or old tires. The city requests that as always, tires be taken to the landfill/transfer station for proper disposal, and batteries, scrap metal and old appliances be taken to Valley Recycling Center.
"Leaves and grass we won't take, since those are compost materials, but trees and branches you can just pile in the boulevard," Differding said. Residents are asked not to box or bag branches.
Even if you happen to miss your pickup date this week, the landfill offers free disposal of grass, leaves, branches, trees, metal and used motor oil year-round.
The landfill's summer hours are currently in effect. The station is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Thank you, fellow bloggers!
First off is the quinoa jambalaya from Eat Air. I wanted to make something like this last week to celebrate Mardi Gras even though we couldn't have a proper party this year. Ever the New Orleans purist, Daiku was a little skeptical of this untraditional recipe, but when we tasted it, all of that faded away. This is a savory and hearty dish, with layers of warming flavor.
One night, we had a very green dinner chock full of veggie goodness. The entree was this creamy kale soup from VeganYumYum. As soon as I saw this recipe, with its combination of kale, quinoa, lentils, and best of all, tahini, I knew I had to try it. My result wasn't as bright green as the original photo, but it had a deep, comforting, and healthy taste. I used soy yogurt for the drizzle topping instead of the tahini called for in the recipe because my tahini never got quite the right smooth consistency (there was some tahini in the soup itself, though). No matter, this was a serious soup! Next time, I might tinker with the ingredients a little to increase the spiciness and bring out the flavors more.
To go with it, brussels sprouts with toasted breadcrumbs and lemon from Food "Blogga." Words can't begin to describe how good these were- we gobbled them all up, even though I was sure I had made enough for copious leftovers. Susan designed this recipe to give a make-over to the under-appreciated cruciferous wonder veggie that is the brussels sprout. I didn't think this applied to me, since I already love them, but this dish takes things to a whole new level. If you don't like brussels sprouts, or are just on the fence about them, please try this recipe! Something about the combination of lemon, garlic, butter (I used Earth Balance) and breadcrumbs- mmmmm.
Here's a recipe I'm testing for Melody: far east spicy tofu and green beans. Oh my goodness, this dinner was so savory and extra spicy and good! Have you been to Melody's blog lately and seen some of the gorgeous things she's been cooking up? What are you waiting for?
I'm one of those people who loves to bake, but sometimes freaks out when a recipe calls for, say, 3/4 cup of oil, or 1.5 cups of sugar. That's why I get so excited when I find recipes like Diann's oat bran muffins. Made entirely with oat bran (no flour), and sweetened with just a touch of agave nectar, these are healthy and easy to make. I added some frozen blueberries and sunflower seeds to Diann's recipe for even more flavor and nutrients. Oat bran is a baking revelation! I went out and bought 2 more pounds of it from the bulk bins, and can't wait to experiment with these again!
They worked so well for breakfast, topped with some margarine and jam or agave nectar.
Ever since I read Urban Vegan's recipes for "punka" pie (and apple pie), I knew I'd eventually try both. I've tried the apple pie a couple of times, but only recently made the punka pie for the first time. Holy cow! This is the best pumpkin pie I've ever had! This is no exaggeration- before going veg., pumpkin pie was never one of my favorites, but it is now. The filling is so firm yet creamy and custardy. Do yourself a favor and bake up a pie now! Next time, I'd consider adding a bit of molasses or a touch more spice to kick up the flavor even more.
I made the pie late one day, and refrigerated it overnight. The next morning, this slice made the world's perfect breakfast.
My next recipe didn't come from a fellow blogger, but rather my mom. Last night, I was tired, it was getting late, and I just didn't feel like cooking. I called my mom, who suggested an easy simmered eggplant and tomato dish. I kicked it up by adding capers, olives, and hot sauce, and served with with the world's fastest and easiest grain: whole wheat couscous.
There were enough leftovers to have an easy lunch today made up of a baked potato smothered with the eggplant mixture. This was so flavorful- thanks mom! Oh, I want to take this opportunity for an additional shout-out to my mom- she has agreed to go meatless for March, even starting before the month officially did! Yay, veggie mom! (Click here for more information on Meatout March- it's not too late to give this a try and see how you feel in a few short weeks!)
I leave you with a photo of this menacing and gigantic black squirrel who found his way to our porch yesterday. He hung out for a long time, enjoying the thrill of aggravating our cats to death! I swear he was taunting them from behind the security of a tightly locked door! Cute.

Oh, Bazu, this is about the most gracious post I've ever seen! I am so appreciative that you mentioned my brussels sprouts recipe (and enjoyed them) as they need all the love they can get!
And thanks for introducing me to so many other talented bloggers--each and every recipe sounds scrumptious!
- March 03, 2007 4:29 PM
Ok, that's it! I'm making that punka pie tonight!!! Lots of great ideas here. Sometimes it helps whet my appetite to see them posted a second time.

Just been catching up on everyone elses blog. Some fantastic looking dishes there. I like the sound of zereshk.
Got a few meals that need adding to my oh-so-slack blog..
- March 03, 2007 8:45 PM
You're welcome ;-) I'm glad you enjoyed the jambalaya - that reminds me I must make it again some time. Everything else looks fabulous too! I like the squirrel picture. When our Violet was a kitten we had a bird feeder that attached to our sliding glass door with suction cups. The squirrels would get in there and taunt her but she had fun watching them.

That's a great picture of the black squirrel & the striped cat- how cooperative he was to pose for you like that!
What a great post- trying fellow blogger recipes. It all looks amazing. I love brussel sprouts too and have been craving them- will check out Susan's link for sure.
And mom's recipe- that is definitely on my list, I heart anything eggplant and the leftovers on baked potato- how perfect.
Hurray for mom! Good luck mom! Will get my friends on this one hopefully.

All of it looks so ...YUM! {faints}
I must try the brussel sprouts especially! Breadcrumbs and butter (well, yes, EB) and I'm all over it! Sometimes I think I could just eat breadcrumbs and butter by themselves... OK, that sounds like toast I guess... never mind.
At any rate - it all looks So So good! GREAT post!

Yum and yum! :)

What a great post! You've tried out so many blogger recipes!! I took the recipe for the kale soup! YUM! I can't wait to make that. Thanks for posting and even linking to the original recipe! You're so thoughtful.
Oh, the squirrel! :) What an adorable photo!!
You asked about rice protein powder. Yes, I love it! I likemising up my protein sources, and I get lots of soy so I use the rice powder in shakes. They sell it at natural stores out here, but here's a link so you can see the label. My nutritionist suggested it and Britty and I love it!
:) :)

Wow, these foods all look so good! I am glad to see jambalaya without okra, cuz I'm not a fan, and with the quinoa this looks super. I had noticed the kale soup too. I'm thinking of trying it and adding in my farmers market arugula too so it doesn't go to waste. The spicy tofu - lots of bloggers have tried this and it's going on my "must make" list.
Yay, you tried the muffins! I think they taste like a bowl of oatmeal, so whatever you like in your oatmeal should probably make for great add-ins. Can't wait to see what you do with them next. And pumpkin pie - yours looks fantastic! It's definitely a year round favorite.
Your mom is awesome! A great cook and perhaps on her way to veg??? Great post, Bazu!

Wowza, what an incredible food post! Everything looks wonderful, especially that kale soup.

Pumpkin pie for breakfast...now that's my kind of meal! The Brussels sprouts look fastastic and so do the green beans with tofu. I really need to start eating breakfast before blog-hopping - I'm starving looking at all your pictures!
It's so cool that your mom is going meatless for the month! (I wish MY mother would follow suit.) Who knows - maybe she'll feel so good that it will turn into two months...then three... This veg thing may be addictive, you know. ;)

Let me just say.. I love brussels sprouts.
About the labels, if you click layout when you're at the "dashboard" page then you can click add to layout, and labels is an option. That's all I know!

Whoa! That's one intimidating squirrel! lol
That's quite the list of tasty cooking! Thanks for the useful links. I will have to try the green bean tofu dish. I luv my green beans, Mmmmm...not sure about the brussels sprouts, though. I'll work my way up to those. :)
Have a wonderful (and tasty) week!
- March 05, 2007 1:27 PM

This all looks great. I think I'll have to try the brussel sprouts (I've never been a fan but I'm ready to be converted). That's a scary squirrel, our swedish ones are so cute in comparison.

- scottishvegan said...
Bazu, all that food looks awesome! Especially the Brussels sprouts…I love them!
The pic of the squirrel is great! I didn't even know that black squirrels existed. We have loads of squirrels here and I love watching them run up and down the trees outside my apartment! And I love the cat in that photo too…kind of reminds me of the Cheshire Cat in Alice In Wonderland. Is it a dish or something?
- March 05, 2007 4:48 PM
that animal is so big!
in to the food:
im drooling here, what a beautiful photos!

All the food looks delicious. Oh, I bought zereshk yesterday and am planning to do a little cooking with it soon.

You are so sweet, Bazu. I'm glad you liked my Punka pie, and I for one will definitely try adding some molasses next time. All the dishes look so warming and tasty.
The black squirrel is huge--he must have quite a nut stash somewhere.
- March 06, 2007 9:37 PM
- KathyF said...
I have never, ever, seen a squirrel like that. Are you sure it's...normal?
You need Bailey, the fearless squirrel chasing dog. She will put an end to that taunting.

Mmm, so much here looks just delicious! That eggplant dish sounds perfect--quick, simple, and looks so tasty. How did you make it? I have an eggplant sitting around here, waiting for me to figure out how to use it....

Greg Ibendahl thought he made a good decision when he bought a diesel-powered car last spring. "When I bought the car around Memorial Day, the price differential between diesel and gas was about 40 cents a gallon, so it was looking like a pretty good deal at that point," said Ibendahl, an agricultural economist at Mississippi State University.
"But it's cost me $2 a gallon the last couple of fill-ups," he said. "So my diesel purchase decision is not looking as good as it was. Fortunately, I still get about 50 miles per gallon on some tanks."
Speaking at the 2004 Southern Region Agricultural Outlook Conference in Atlanta, Ibendahl used a personal example to convey the sense of unease many farmers may be feeling as they watched diesel fuel prices climb steadily for most of the first nine months of this year.
"After fuel prices rose 10 to 15 percent in 2003, we thought we might see prices trend down a little bit in 2004," he said. "We thought maybe 2003 would be our high year. But that hasn't been the case. Instead, prices for diesel fuel have gone up practically the whole year."
Although gasoline prices haven't risen as fast, with crude oil prices hitting $50 per barrel, Ibendahl expects gas prices to go up this fall. "That's counter to what normally happens," he noted. "Usually, they peak around Labor Day and start to go down, hitting a low point about January. On the other hand, I think diesel prices will go down this fall."
Ibendahl and other analysts expect diesel and gasoline prices to move lower in 2005, but "if you look at the overall average for 2005, I think it's still going to be above the average for 2004."
Although production cuts by members of the Oil and Petroleum Exporting Countries have been blamed for the initial run-up in fuel prices, that doesn't appear to be the case now, he noted.
"Right now OPEC nations are producing more oil than any other time since we began keeping track of their quotas back in the 1980s," he said. "We're also producing as much as we can in the United States based on the capacity in our oil reserves.
"The problem — or the opportunity if you want to look at it that way — is a five-letter word called China. Their economy is so strong that they're using a lot more fuel than they have in the past. They've increased industrial output. They've discovered cars over there and are driving more."
At the same time, the world capacity for producing oil "is probably lower than it has been for a long time, which means we are vulnerable to shocks to the economy if anything such as a terrorism strike happens," he said. "That's why we could see more big spikes in gasoline prices."
In general, U.S. oil refineries operate at more than 90 percent capacity. But, in some cases recently, they've been operating in the upper 90s, making the system more vulnerable to problems. Two years ago, a fire at a refinery in the Midwest caused an unusually big jump in summertime oil prices.
Typically, refineries have to be shut down for maintenance at various times of the years, he noted. "When they do, that puts more pressure on the whole refinery system, and we tend to see spikes in fuel prices."
Natural gas prices are expected to follow a similar pattern, he said, because many companies use natural gas and petroleum interchangeably to meet energy needs. Natural gas costs could drop in the fall months before rebounding as the winter heating season begins in the northern United States.
Analysts are predicting the price could go from a third quarter 2004 average of $5.43 per 1,000 cubic feet to $5.78 in the fourth quarter to $4.98 in the first quarter of 2005 and $5.44 in the second quarter.
Those prices are expected to have an impact on fertilizer prices because natural gas is used in the production of nitrogen fertilizers.
"Surprisingly, nitrogen fertilizer prices haven't quite gone up as much as would be indicated by the increase in natural gas prices," he noted. "Some analysts say nitrogen fertilizer prices will go up only 4 to 5 percent this year.
"But that may be too optimistic. It's possible that anhydrous ammonia prices could go up about 10 percent in 2004 and another 4 percent to 5 percent in 2005 given the current prices outlook."
For crop inputs in 2004 and 2005, Ibendahl projects:
Fertilizer: Up 10 percent in 2004; up 4 percent in 2005.
Seed: Up 3 percent in 2004; up 6 percent in 2005.
Chemicals: No change in 2004; up 1 percent in 2005.
Repairs: Up 2 percent in 2004; up 2 percent in 2005.
Feed: Up 11 percent in 2004; down 8 percent in 2005 due to higher grain prices in the first half of 2004 and the lower prices that followed.
Machinery: Up 5 percent in 2004; up 8 percent in 2005, primarily because of increases in steel prices.
"I don't see how the manufacturers can help but pass those along in 2005," said Ibendahl. "The bigger companies like GM and Ford and John Deere haven't been affected as much because of their negotiating power, but the smaller guys may get hurt.
"It all goes back to what's happening in China. Scrap metal prices are soaring because of the demand for steel in China. It's been estimated that 70 percent of the tall cranes used on construction sites are now located in China."
Cash rent: Unchanged in 2004; up 2 percent in 2005.
Wages: Unchanged in 2004; up 4 percent in 2005.

I'd like to get some clarification as to how OpenGL arranges and stores pixels when using methods like glReadPixels() and glGetTexImage(), and whether than can be altered. I've been working in the Blender Game Engine, using PyOpenGL to perform some render-to-texture operations, and I'd like to be able to take these products and use them in the BGE. It seems that Blender's native methods for reading an image from a buffer require the pixel data to be stored in a single-dimensional array, like so:
Unfortunately, PyOpenGL seems to store pixel data using multi-dimensional arrays, which are accessed something like this:Code :[r1, g1, b1, a1, ... rN, gN, bN, aN]
Is this arrangement of data particular to PyOpenGL's implementation of these methods, or is this how OpenGL structures it's data?Code :pixelData[R, G, B or A][location_x][location_y]
Also, is there a way to get OpenGL to conform to Blender's requirements for a one-dimensional array of data?

Euro Tour, BMW Masters, China October 26 2012
Peter Hanson/ Getty Images Peter Hanson has the second round lead in the BMW Masters at Lake Malaren Golf Club in Shanghai, China, after shooting -8 under par 64 to secure the top spot at -14 under par for the tournament. Peter is two shots ahead of Rory McIlroy who surprisingly has not won a regular European Tour event since last year's Hong Kong Open. Rory shot a second round -7 under par 65, but it was not enough to catch Ryder Cup teammate Peter, who unfortunately started the day with a bogey at the first; "It's amazing how many good rounds come together after a bogey on the first. It's pretty soft so you can see yourself shooting some low scores here. I'm happy with the way I played so far and I know it's going to be a tough one coming up against the World Number One these last couple of days on a golf course he obviously loves. He won here last year." Rory was pleased he played better today than he did in the first round, the U.S. PGA Champion said; " It was a very good day, I played very well , a little better than I did yesterday. I hit the ball a lot better, and gave myself plenty of opportunities. When I did need to make a par putt here or there, I was able to save those, and overall it was just a very good round of golf and obviously in a great position going into the weekend." Yesterday's first round leader Jamie Donaldson could not repeat anything like his brilliant first round 62, slipping to a +2 over par 74 in the second round, and is now six shots behind the leader. Jose Maria Olazabal also struggled to a second round of 72, plunging from fourth position to twenty-first. Robert Karlsson is in third spot with a second round -8 under par 64, and a tournament total of -9 under par, five shots from the top. There are four players on -8 under par, with Justin Rose are Shane Lowery, winner of the Portugal Masters two weeks ago, Noren Alexander and first round leader Jamie Donaldson. Luke Donald had a better second round, a -5 under par 67, to move into a tie for eighth place, with a posse of seven other players, which includes other Ryder Cup players Martin Kaymer and Nicolas Colsaerts. Luke will need a really good third round if he is to contest this title. It has been another tournament where Luke has started slowly, he has made a bad habit of that this year.

Bähler, Samuel (ca. 1851-1890)
Samuel Bähler was a Swiss Mennonite preacher and elder of Langnau, Switzerland, cofounder and editor of the Zionspilger, a weekly periodical published since 1881 by the Mennonites in the Emmental (Switzerland), which soon secured a number of faithful subscribers outside Mennonite circles. Bähler was also active in the Sunday school, and as the founder and conductor of the choir of the Emmental congregation, which still functioned in the 1950s. This indefatigable man succumbed to lung trouble on 28 January 1890, only 38 years of age, soon after the dedication of the meetinghouse of the congregation.
