The Washington Post leads with a lightning-round survey of national economies, concluding that they're all getting worse faster than expected, particularly Britain. So is California: The Los Angeles Times leads with the state's staggering unemployment rate of 9.3 percent, up almost a percentage point from December, representing a loss of 78,000 jobs. The New York Times leads with President Barack Obama jumping into stimulus negotiations, seeking a final package that will act like jumper cables for the economy, flushing $825 billion through fast enough to make a real difference.
The Wall Street Journal leads with the news that Pfizer is set to acquire biotech giant Wyeth for a bunker-busting $65 billion, paying two-thirds of it in cash and the rest in stock. Pfizer needs the relatively debt-free company, which has several new products in development, as it faces the expiration in 2011 of patent protection on its main cash cow, Lipitor.
In meetings with both Republican and Democratic leadership teams, Obama worked to retain leadership of what could be the signature achievement of his first 100 days, putting his foot down on stimulus provisions, including tax credits for those who don't make enough money to pay income taxes. House and Senate Republicans are not united on this point or much of anything else, the NYT says, with some members continuing to fight while others—like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell—try to meet Obama's attempts at compromise. * The WSJ plays up the partisan bickering of the proceedings more than the other papers, putting the hearsay "I won" comment by Obama in a subhead while the NYT and Post mention it in passing. The Journal also illustrates how although Obama was fast out of the gate in naming his Cabinet, Congress has given him more trouble than either of the last two presidents experienced. On the flip side, the Post fronts a strangely adorable picture of the thousands of new Obama appointees finding their way through federal office buildings, staffing up offices from scratch.
The NYT's off-lead story reveals that banks didn't stop asking for money after they got it, spending millions more to lobby legislators on various aspects of the bailout. That effort hasn't gone over well with some lawmakers; Sen. Dianne Feinstein took them to task for spending taxpayer dollars on lobbyists. Other lawmakers chose to lobby for their own home state banks: the Journal outs a pair of Illinois congressmen who put in an appeal for an institution that was in such bad shape that it didn't make the cut for aid, and later failed. Luckily for the banks, Congress and the president seem open to the idea of tossing even more money their way as losses continue to mount, with "trillion" on everyone's lips.
Which all makes this story about goats, which is also somehow about the Lehman collapse, almost too fantastic to digest.
Obama's commander-in-chief career has also started in earnest, with two strikes in Pakistan on suspected terrorist hide-outs. The administration is discussing tweaks to Pakistan's aid structure, which during the Bush years was heavily skewed toward the military over humanitarian funding. Meanwhile, the Post sketches out the minefield that Obama faces in dealing with Israel. As expected, he appointed former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell as his special envoy to the Middle East, whom some Israel activists fault for previous statements about the necessity of having a dialogue with the Palestinian leadership. But thus far, Obama has not broken from the Bush administration's line, repeating conditions for Hamas to meet before being considered a diplomatic partner. Hamas is just as strong as ever, despite having been bombed for 22 days straight. (Speaking of counterproductivity, check out the weekend Journal's retelling of how Israel fostered Hamas' growth from the beginning.) All of which makes it look unlikely that Obama will get around to Zimbabwe, where desperate refugees—many of them children—are fleeing to South Africa, a country that doesn't want them, either.
Following his announcement of the executive order to close Guantanamo Bay within a year, Obama issued another to repeal the global gag rule on federal financing for abortion providers overseas. He hasn't swung around so fast on federal funding for stem cell research, as the NYT's piece on the abortion order notes. Although the FDA just approved its first project using stem cell therapy—which does involve killing embryos—Obama is undecided as to whether to use his executive power to encourage such research or to let Congress write it into a law.
The new administration is also moving cautiously on greenhouse gas regulation: Obama is mulling what to do with an old fight left over from the Bush days, when the EPA denied California's request to place stricter limits on tailpipe emissions. Newly minted EPA administrator Lisa Jackson did not commit to a position in her confirmation hearings, and car companies have mounted a strong defense of the status quo. (In case you'd forgotten, the LAT fronts a reminder that it still sucks to be in the auto business.)
World, meet 42-year-old first-term Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Gov. David Paterson's pick to replace Hillary Clinton as the junior senator from New York. She's a politically savvy corporate lawyer with a political pedigree that's as much red as it is blue, and a short voting record that doesn't pin her as either. And in a credit to the way in which the NYT's Albany folks have been all over this story from beginning to end, the paper exposes just how badly the Paterson camp bungled the affair, ruining a year that was supposed to be the governor's display of competence to the country. The process turned into a public flap with staffers going rogue left and right, plus a considerable feat: angering the Cuomos, the Kennedys, and the Clintons in one fell swoop.
The NYT and the Journal both take a gander at how the credit crisis has hit nonprofits. The Journal focuses on the case of the Harlem Children's Zone, an ambitious early-education project that had started drawing as much as $15 billion annually in donations from Wall Street. Many of its biggest donors are now bankrupt, and another $2.7 million disappeared into Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme. The Times uses a broader lens, looking at nonprofits' troubles with securing credit from banks as well as their accustomed government financing.
And because it's Saturday … Hey, Wall Street Journal, got a Jersey complex or something?
Correction, Jan. 26, 2009: This story originally identified Mitch McConnell as the majority leader of the Senate. He is the minority leader. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

There are plenty of reasons for wanting a low-resource distro running on your computer.
Maybe you have some ancient hardware that you need to breathe new life into. Perhaps you want something that will fit on a modestly sized memory stick. Or it might be that you want to run 200 virtual machines simultaneously on your desktop.
The important things that we'll look at here are the amount of space needed, how much processing power is required to get the distro running at an acceptable level, and the effort required to get it to work.
Something to bear in mind is that one of the ways in which developers are able to create slimmed down distros is by ditching the scripts and wizards that we've come to take for granted. This can complicate tasks that you might expect to be straightforward, such as installing software.
Strict criteria
The simple truth is that you'll be getting your fingers slightly grubbier with a low-resource distro than you would with a fully featured one. In selecting our shortlist, we've left out some contenders either because they didn't support older processors, they wouldn't install in 4GB or less of space, they simply didn't work on our hardware or they're no longer being maintained (as is the case for both RULE and U-Lite).
The one exception to this is Damn Small Linux – although it has been over a year since the last release, and the homepage is as quiet as the LXF office at 9.30 on a Monday morning, this is still such a widely used and influential project that it was considered worthy of inclusion.
There's still plenty of activity in the area of low-resource distros, including WattOS, which we hope to cover next time. We also gave Zenwalk a try, but ran into difficulty trying to run it on the low-spec system that we permitted ourselves here. But aside from this, it's a light and capable distro nonetheless and worth a look if you have the time.
Damn Small Linux: the original credit card distro
The rise and fall of Damn Small Linux is one of those tales along the lines of a great concept executed well. The idea was to create a Linux distro that was small enough to fit on a credit-card sized CD-ROM. With a target size of 50MB or less, this format certainly concentrates the developers' minds if they also want to create a hassle-free user experience.
For the most part, DSL does succeed. Based on the grandfather of all Live CDs, Knoppix, DSL strips out layer after layer of non-essential stuff, while leaving a core working system. It might not exactly be replete with applications, but there's enough there to legitimise its claim to the title of a desktop operating system.
Look past the rather clunky interface and the tricky-to-read text and you'll be amazed at the amount of functionality included with DSL. Text editors, a PDF viewer, Firefox and other handy utilities provide a workable and stable environment.
There are task-specific add-on Damn Small Linux packages available to download as well, and it's difficult to fault the level of hardware support.
Unfortunately, the story of DSL doesn't have a happy ending at the moment. The community developing it seems to have split rather fractiously over demands made by some of the contributors, so it's been a year since any of the main contributors has even posted on the project's website. The future of development seems uncertain.
We've included it here (in spite of the exclusion of other defunct systems) because it still holds up surprisingly well to some of the other options, and remains widely used.
If you need further testament, DSL was selected is one of the few systems supported by the boot.kernel.org (BKO) project. That said, obviously as time wears on, DSL slowly becomes more and more out of date, and may eventually become something of a liability.

This is a decent choice if you have space and memory to spare

Crunchbang: the unofficial Ubuntu Lite
Long before there was an official Ubuntu-lite project, the ground had been contested by the likes of Xubuntu and U-list. CrunchBang ('#!', get it?), or HashPling as one might decide to call it, evolved some time later, but before there was official support for the Lubuntu project. The head-start seems to have worked out for the developers, though, because CrunchBang is pretty much there.
It comes in more than one flavour, but we decided to test the lite version because it fits in better with the theme of this particular Roundup. The installer was one of the easiest to use, but it didn't work on our decrepit hardware, only the virtual machine. The graphics driver seemed to be causing difficulty, so your mileage may vary.
Although this is a lite version, it still includes useful applications, including the Leafpad editor, VLC and Firefox 3.0.11. One of the major selling points is that this distro is built around Ubuntu, to the extent that the included Synaptic Package Manager will happily fetch anything from the Canonical repositories to bung on your box.
But as soon as you start installing big things, it comes tumbling down as dependencies spiral into gigabytes of space.
CrunchBang also takes the unusual but welcome step of stuffing a whole load of keyboard shortcuts into the desktop – quite literally, because the list is displayed on the screen via the Conky system monitor software. They mostly make use of the 'special key that should have a penguin on it', so they won't interfere with normal operations.
CrunchBang is small, stylish and performs well. It'll be interesting to see what happens here when Lubuntu is released publicly, but it seems that CrunchBang has a pretty solid proposition ready to go.

Stylish, compact and plenty of Ubuntu software available

Lubuntu: here comes the official Ubuntu mini-distro
Early in 2009, Mark 'Space' Shuttleworth gave the nod to an Ubuntu project that would create a lightweight variant of the world's favourite distro. Based around LXDE, Lubuntu was on its way. And it still is. Well, getting a new distro sorted out takes more than a few months, so we shouldn't be too harsh.
It's also worth noting that at the time of writing, the current release was still an alpha version, so we're giving it extra latitude.
As with most of the other distributions here, the install media runs as a live CD first, which is a useful way to check that the system is going to work with your hardware before you go to the trouble of installing it. If you imagine that Lubuntu is going to look anything like Ubuntu, that idea will be destroyed the minute the desktop loads.
Lubuntu has more in common with the other LXDE distributions, with the LXPanel running at the bottom of the screen and a more KDE 3.x look to things rather than Gnome. The chosen apps aren't quite the usual – Firefox, AbiWord and Gnumeric are among those included, which seems to suggest that not everything in this distro is going to be pared to the bone.
Of course, the main selling point of this distro is that it will have access to the Ubuntu repositories for easy upgrades and plenty of extra packages to install if you need them.
We did have a couple of problems installing this to disk, so the figures in the table on page 35 that compare memory usage and disk space aren't that reliable. However, since this is still an alpha release, you couldn't really rely on them anyway.
Lubuntu is definitely one to watch for the future. With the backing of Canonical, it'll have the developer resources to make the other lite distro projects rather jealous.
Verdict: Lubuntu http://lubuntu.net Price: FreeVersion: Lucid Alpha 2 Website:
Although it looks nothing like Ubuntu, this is one to keep an eye on as it moves towards a stable release
Rating: 6/10
Puppy Linux: is that a puppy in your pocket?
This sounds as though it ought to be based on Yellow Dog, but in fact, Puppy is a built-from-the-base-up independent distribution from down under. This is a middleweight offering – not as stripped back as some of the distros, but not bloated out to a full CD either.
Memory usage is low to average and a recent kernel gives a good chance of hardware support, although it'll run on i386 hardware. It runs direct from RAM on the initial boot and reveals a packed desktop with some thoughtfully selected apps scattered about.
There are loads of helpful scripts to guide you through things such as setting up display preferences and installing to disk, but you still need to perform some stages manually. As is so often the case, less bloat means less complete and helpful apps that do everything for you, so you will need to put a little bit of effort in.
Puppy manages to pack a lot of programs in to a small space. For graphics, there's a lite version of Inkscape, a few camera tools, MTPaint and Gxine. Browsing and mail is taken care of by a full version of SeaMonkey rather than separate apps, while Gnumeric and AbiWord should suffice for most office purposes.
Packages available for additional install include IceWM and Openbox if you don't like the default window manager, plus a selection of other tools. Of course, the distribution also has GCC, so you can build your own software – which may be necessary since the repositories only hold a few dozen extra apps.
While it may be restrictive in the number of programs available, there's still a lot to recommend Puppy – it runs like a solid, modern distro but in a fraction of the space. However, if you have specific application needs, it may be easier to look elsewhere.
Verdict: Puppy Linux www.puppylinux.org Price: FreeVersion: 4.3.1 Website:
A solid and dependable offering, but limited software available
Rating: 6/10
Slitaz: home brewed since 2007
Many of the lightweight Linux distros on offer are based on more popular desktop variants such as Debian, but this one's grown completely from scratch since 2007. It's one of the few that includes languages other than English (Spanish, French, German and Portuguese).
The base install is competent enough for a variety of tasks. The browser is Firefox 3.5, which may not be the most lightweight app you could think of installing, but it does give Slitaz the ability to run pretty much any web app, which is what many people will want to do with such a diminutive distro that doesn't have a lot of its own software.
That said, there's a cluster of useful tools included as part of the minimal install, including a MTPaint, a PDF reader, music player and a couple of editors (Leafpad and Nano). For lightweight and embedded projects, it rather unbelievably includes a fully functional webserver (Lighttpd) with PHP/CGI support, and various other standard network tools as well (such as SSH and FTP).
If you feel the need to bloat out the system, there are over a thousand packages available in the online repository. Package management is via a tool called Tazpkg, which is tiny, but straightforward and easy to use.
The packages themselves are custom archives with included information and dependencies, so you won't get caught up in a whole world of install pain (though you are limited to the packages available from the Slitaz repository, unless you want to make your own).
The desktop uses the nippy but low overhead Openbox window manager, combined with LXDE desktop, which should be pretty intuitive to most users (it's most akin to a KDE 3.x desktop).
Slitaz achieves the objective of cramming a lot into a small space. It doesn't have an overwhelming selection of default packages, but they do the job, and they do it very fast.
Verdict: Slitaz www.slitaz.org Price: FreeVersion: 2.0 Cooking Website:
Exceptionally quick, deceptively powerful and has a built-in webserver
Rating: 9/10
Tiny Core Linux: smaller than the smallest thing
The Tiny Core project was started in 2008 by one of the refugees from DSL, so it isn't much of a surprise that it follows the same ethos of trying to get as much as possible into the minimum amount of space.
If anything, Tiny Core has taken this to more of an extreme, completely savaging the package base to create just about the smallest distribution you could still consider to be a Linux OS. While this is great news for those trying to fit the OS on to ancient hardware or embedded devices, it does inevitably mean you'll need to do more work if you want to do anything other than boot it up and look at the X display.
Fortunately, there's an app installer that enables access to the large repository of TCZ packages, so you can easily install the apps that you want. Dependencies are handled, but obviously, if you choose to install something like Firefox, you're going to see the disk space taken up by this distro ballooning to new levels. But you will have to install something, otherwise a few system scripts and a terminal will be your only company.
In some ways, it's not quite so useful to have such a diminutive distro. There may be some specialist cases, but for general use, most people can easily spare, say, 100MB of space. Sure, you can build on the Tiny Core install by adding applications, but it may have made things easier to aim for a slightly higher target to begin with.
But that's to take nothing away from the remarkable achievement of creating a Linux install that fits inside 10MB of space. It's easy to see Tiny Core becoming the basis of many specialist application distros – if you can get the base install down in size, it leaves you with a lot more room to pile on your custom applications.
Verdict: Tiny Core Linux www.tinycorelinux.com Price: FreeVersion: 2.8 Website:
A remarkable achievement, but requires effort to install and use
Rating: 6/10
Unity Linux: great big Mandriva-based lusciousness
This Mandriva-based distro wants to give you low resource computing, but it doesn't want you to slum it. Although possibly the best-looking of the distros in the Roundup, it does come at the cost of a slow boot time.
Unity is pretty much as sluggish as a full desktop distro when it starts, compared to the nippy zippy likes of Slitaz and Tiny Core. Once the Openbox-based desktop is running, though, it is as fast and responsive as you could want a distro to be.
The install process couldn't be easier – run the graphical installer, tell it where you live, allow it to partition the drive however it likes and you're done in a couple of clicks. In fact, it may be a little too easy – perhaps it should ask a bit more about where you're installing, but there are manual options available for most of the stages. Installation may take a while, but you can always avail yourself of the live Unity while you're waiting, then reboot back into that lovely desktop.
That's when the real shock hits you – Unity has gobbled up nearly 1GB of space before you've even started installing anything! The minimal install does contain lots of configuration tools, but if you want to do anything like browse the web or play some music, you'll need to get downloading.
The smart package manager is preconfigured to fetch updates and packages from the extensive Unity mirrors, though you could most likely install Mandriva or generic RPMs without much difficulty. Setting up networking was seamless and we were gorging ourselves silly on frivolous applications such as image viewers and audio players in no time.
Surprisingly, once installed, Unity only came mid-table in terms of memory use, but we found that it was sprightly and easy to use. As with some of the other distros we've tested here, this is a beta release, but based on what we saw, it seems ready for a full release already.
Verdict: Unity Linux http://unity-linux.org Price: FreeVersion: 2010 Beta 2 Website:
It's both slick and fast, but you will need a bit more disk space available

VectorLinux: by the power of Slackware
Based on Slackware, VectorLinux was originally all about being a small, self-contained and easy to install and use distro. Since it started life in 2000 it has been through many different iterations and sprouted a few different variants (SOHO, Deluxe, Standard, Light) to target specific use scenarios.
We tested the Light version, though even that's a full CD. At 617MB, it's heftier than some of the others on test. Even if you discount the optional packages, the Light install requires 1GB of space, so it isn't that surprising that it has a wide choice of apps occupying all that space.
Development tools and the kernel source can be excluded to give you change, but we don't recommend you install this on anything smaller than a 4GB drive if you want some swap space (which you do on a low-memory system) and room to store your files.
In terms of app choice, things are skewed towards web and media stuff. There are four web browsers, but only Leafpad, Pathetic Writer and Siag Office by way of office programs, and MTPaint holding up the graphics end of the ship.
Installing VectorLinux is straightforward for a veteran of pre-Ubuntu installers. This Curses-based trip back into prehistory actually has the temerity to ask you questions about things and also wants you to partition and format your drive!
There's nothing particularly wrong with VectorLinux, it just isn't that inspiring. It has by far the largest boot image, consumes the most disk space and yet doesn't deliver an exceptional performance or user experience. In some ways, you might as well be running any normal mainstream distro.
The interface may seem fussy and there isn't much customisation available, but it becomes deceptively easy to use after a short time.
Verdict: VectorLinux www.vectorlinux.com Price: FreeVersion: 6.0 Light Website:
This is a decent choice if you have space and memory to spare
Rating: 5/10
The winner: Slitaz 9/10
We hope you've seen that the world of light distros is more exciting than you may have imagined. Choosing the right one depends on the hardware you want to run it on and what you want to use it for.
The Ubuntu-based distros are interesting, particularly the nascent Lubuntu, mainly because they have a tiny footprint but offer the promise of installing anything from the vast Ubuntu multiverse. However, we were looking for a a distro to work painlessly in a cramped hardware environment.
Honourable mentions must go to DSL and Tiny Core at this point, which have clambered into the territory of the minuscule. It's amazing how usable a system can be that takes up less space on your drive than your holiday pictures. Puppy Linux and Unity were both easy to use, although the latter was a bit more polished (and bigger).
There can be only one winner in the context of our Roundup, and it should be Slitaz. It's fast, easy on memory, and comes with a considered selection of apps. Not being able to install new software easily apart from stuff in the Slitaz package format is one of the few drawbacks, but for a fast, lightweight desktop it's hard to beat.
All the versions tested here either install from a live version or have live versions available, so check that your hardware's compatible before you install. It's not always the case that the biggest distros are the most compatible – it varies, although those tested here should provide basic functionality (some sort of graphics, keyboard, mouse and wired network).
If your target is a laptop, you might be in for all sorts of difficulties. Many laptop parts aren't what they seem to be, at least as far as kernel drivers go.Read more: http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/8-of-the-best-tiny-linux-distros-683552?artc_pg=5#ixzz0nMQOvMn7

Failure last week of the U.S. House of Representatives to pass a farm bill underscores a lot of uncertainty within the agriculture industry across the country.
Farmers are left to wonder on the fate of provisions of the farm program that have become critical to their ability to plan and to assure them a safety net. Maintaining a sound crop insurance program is a top priority for many farmers across the country.
And crop insurance may be a key target in future debates.
For the past few years, crop insurance has been the key to staying in business in the wake of two devastating droughts over the Southwest and a historic drought over the Midwest last year. Floods, wind and cold have also damaged crops in the last few months. And the Southwest remains in the grips of a drought that is well into its third year.
Crop insurance, according to the National Crop Insurance Services out of Overland Park, Kan., continues to protect millions of acres of farmland across the nation.
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
The latest NCIS report indicates that more than 325,000 policies have been processed through participating companies and the Risk Management Agency as of June 24, 2013. Those policies protect nearly 93 million acres representing nearly $28 billion in liabilities, accounting for $104 million in farmer-paid premium. These numbers will continue to grow as more policies are processed and farmers plant their acres.
Numbers also show how much farmers have depended on crop insurance for protection.
- In 2012, farmers invested more than $4.1 billion to purchase more than 1.2 million crop insurance policies, protecting 128 different crops.
- Crop insurance policies protected more than 281 million acres in 2012, with insured acreage equal to 86 percent of planted cropland.
- $30 billion: Farmers have spent more than $30 billion out of their own pockets to purchase crop insurance since 2000.
- To date, Kansas, Texas, California, Nebraska, Oklahoma and South Dakota lead the way in the number of crop insurance policies purchased.
It's an integral part of farmers' safety net and throughout farm bill debates farmers and their associations urged legislators to do no harm to crop insurance.
In a recent statement following the defeat of a farm bill proposal in the House, Rodney Mosier, executive vice president of the Texas Wheat Producers Association urged a resolution to the farm bill stalemate.
"Most farmers cannot secure financing without proof of crop insurance and the assurance of a sustainable safety net," Mosier said. "It is hard for financial institutions to continue approving loans when no one knows what the farm safety net will look like."

Food52 Review: One word: FABULOUS. Okay, more than one word: this is a great recipe that comes together very easily and bakes up beautifully. It's sweet, but not overly so, making this a great option for any time of day, and not just for dessert. Make sure to baste the mold really well if it has lots of deep design parts like mine does so that it will release when it comes out of the oven. This yeasted cake is so tender and fluffy, it needs to release pretty easily. I used the full 3½ cups of flour and loved the currants sprinkled through the cake, but could also see miniature chocolate chips in it as an alternative—but then I can see chocolate in most everything. —TheWimpyVegetarian
Serves: 8 to 10
tablespoon active dry yeast
cup whole milk, warm but not over 110 degrees
tablespoons honey, mild flavored variety
cup sugar
1 1/2
sticks of unsalted butter, slightly softened, plus more for the mold
egg yolks
egg whites, beaten until stiff
tablespoon Grand Marnier
2 1/2
teaspoons orange zest, you can add more zest but note the more you add the more it becomes marmalade like, which I like but it is not everyones taste
teaspoon vanillla extract
teaspoon cardamom
teaspoon fine grind sea salt
3 1/2
cups unbleached all purpose flour
cup raisins or zante currants
cup sliced almonds
confectioners sugar for dusting
- For the starter you want to combine the milk and honey and sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it bloom. Once all the yeast is hydrated add 1 cup of the flour and mix to combine. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle cream the butter with the sugar. Once it is smooth add the starter and combine it.
- Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. With the mixer running add the egg yolks one at a time only adding another after the previous one is blended in. Add the Grand Marnier, vanilla, cardamom, salt and orange zest.
- Add two cups of flour and mix to combine. You want the dough to be stiff enough to just pull away from the sides. It should look like the kugelhopf mold in a sense in that you should see pleats of dough with shiny bowl spots. If you need to add flour a 1/4 cup at a time. you should see strands of gluten forming. Mix in the egg whites which will make the dough more like a batter. Mix in the raisins
- Butter the mold with lots of butter and then sprinkle in the almonds along the sides and top. Add the dough to the mold making sure it is evenly distributed. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set aside.
- Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees. Once the dough has risen to about the 3/4 mark on the sides of the mold slide it into the oven and bake it for 30 minutes. Check it and if the exposed cake is browning to fast loosely set a piece of foil on top. Bake another 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and invert the mold onto a cooling rack and lift the mold. Let the cake cool completely. Dust with powder sugar and serve. It is best served the day it is made. If there happen to be leftovers it makes great French toast.

27 December 2012
By Stephen Lendman
A previous article said major surgery for any reason
is daunting. Four times for the same illness in 18
months present special challenges.
Chavez struggles to recover. He hopes he's cancer
free. He's undergoing difficult post-operative
procedures. Reports suggest he's proceeding on track.
Internal bleeding and respiratory infection problems
were corrected. More on his current status below.
It's unclear if he'll return in time for his January
10 inauguration. A previous article said under
Venezuelan constitutional law, Article 233 states:
"The President of the Republic shall become
permanently unavailable to serve by reason of any of
the following events: death; resignation; removal from
office by decision of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice;
permanent physical or mental disability certified by a
medical board designated by the Supreme Tribunal of
Justice with the approval of the National Assembly;
abandonment of his position….and by recall by popular
If the President is permanently unavailable to serve
during his first four years, a new election will be
held "by universal suffrage and direct ballot" within
30 days.
"Between pending election and inauguration, the
Executive Vice President shall assume the Presidency."
"If permanent unavailability occurs during his last
two years, the Executive Vice President shall complete
the term of office."
Article 234 states:
"A President of the Republic who becomes temporarily
unavailable to serve shall be replaced by the
Executive Vice President for a period of up to 90
days, which may be extended by resolution of the
National Assembly for an additional 90 days."
"If the temporarily unavailability continues for more
than 90 consecutive days, the National Assembly shall
have the power to decide by a majority vote of its
members whether the unavailability to serve should be
considered permanent."
Under Article 235, "The absence of the President of
the Republic from the territory of Venezuela requires
authorization from the National Assembly or the
Delegated Committee, when such absence continues for a
period exceeding five consecutive days."
Chavez may need more recovery time. Aides want
swearing-in postponed. Venezuelans overwhelmingly
elected him. If able, they want him to serve.
Constitutional interpretation has wiggle room.
Article 231 states:
"The candidate elected shall take office as President
of the Republic on January 10 of the first year of his
constitutional term, by taking an oath before the
National Assembly."
"If for any supervening reason, the person elected
President of the Republic cannot be sworn in before
the National Assembly, he shall take the oath of
office before the Supreme Tribunal of Justice."
No date is specified. National Assembly president
Diosdado Cabello said "The decision of a whole people
can't be subject to just one day, whatever the
constitution may say."
"There's the precedent of a mayor who postponed his
taking on the position for three months. I don't
remember his name right now but it's a true fact. The
law just can't be interpreted so rigidly."
Venezuela's National Assembly can extend Chavez's
absence up to six months. Vice President Maduro can
replace him for 90 days. The NA can authorize an
additional 90 days.
Thereafter it would decide if absence is permanent by
majority vote. Chavez's PSUV members dominate the
body. They're not about to unelect their popular
At issue is whether Chavez is healthy to serve. When
swearing-in is possible appears secondary. Government
officials say he'll be sworn in on January 10 or some
other date.
On December 25, the Havana Times published Chavez's
Christmas eve message. Vice President Maduro convened
his wishes.
"President Chavez asked me to give his special
greeting to all the children of Venezuela on this
Christmas eve," he said.
"He told me that he has received with much love the
prayers of our people and the sister peoples of the
He added that he's doing his post-operative exercises.
He asked about government 2013 - 2019 planning
progress. Maduro said he's keeping him informed.
On December 18, Granma Internacional published Fidel
Castro's letter to Vice President Maduro. It was read
during ALBA's 8th anniversary commemoration.
"Dear Nicolas Maduro," it said.
"To mark the anniversaries that you are celebrating
today I wish to express the following to you: The
absence of the President elected by more than eight
million Venezuelans moves us all."
"I met Hugo Chávez exactly 18 years ago. Someone
invited him to Cuba and he accepted the invitation. He
told me that he was thinking of asking for an
interview with me."
"I was far from imagining that those soldiers branded
as coup plotters by the news agencies, who sowed their
ideas with so much discretion for years, were a select
group of Bolivarian revolutionaries."
"I waited for Chávez at the airport, took him to where
he was staying and talked with him for hours,
exchanging ideas.
The following day, in the University of Havana's Aula
Magna, each one of us expressed our ideas."
"Our conceptions differ in aspects which are far
removed from political ideas and principles. We do not
even discuss those conceptions."
"Our medical cooperation with Venezuela began as a
result of the Vargas tragedy, in which thousands of
people died as a consequence of the abandonment and
lack of foresight experienced by the poorest
population of this state."
"For its part, Venezuela has shown particular
solidarity with the peoples of the Caribbean, Central
America and South America.
It has developed strong links with Bolivia, Ecuador,
Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and other nations."
"It has cultivated relations with Russia, Belarus,
Ukraine and other republics of the former USSR. It has
not forgotten Palestine or Libya."
"It pays special attention to its economic links with
China. It stands in solidarity with the peoples of
Africa. It practices a policy of peace with all
"The name of Hugo Chávez is admired and respected
throughout the world. Everyone, even many of his
adversaries, wishes him a prompt recovery. The doctors
are fighting with optimism for this objective."
"As is known, all Cuban revolutionaries are followers
of Martí and Bolívar. I have the certainty that, with
him and however painful his absence, all of you will
be capable of continuing his work."
"¡Viva Hugo Chávez!
¡Hasta la victoria siempre!
Fidel Castro Ruz"
On December 25, the London Independent headlined
"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez 'improving' after
surgery," saying:
Maduro spoke to him by phone. He's up and walking.
He's exercising. His spirit is positive.
Venezuelan officials gave "little specific information
on (his) condition or his long-term prognosis."
On December 24, AP said Bolivia's Evo Morales was
largely "silent" after visiting him in Havana last
weekend. His stay was short. He came to express
On return to Bolivia, he said nothing further. Maduro
and several cabinet ministers attended a Christmas eve
mass. They assured Venezuelans that recovery is
proceeding on course.
He suggested Chavez may not return by January 10.
Attorney General Flores says constitutional authority
lets the Supreme Court administer oath of office any
time at its discretion if the National Assembly can't
do it.
"Those who are counting on that date, hoping to thwart
the Revolution and the will of the people, will end up
frustrated once again," she said.
"What we have is a president who has been re-elected.
He will take over, will be sworn in on that day, or
another day. That is a formality."
Caracas District head Jaqueline Farias said "we are
very happy because each hour (Chavez shows) signs that
he is overcoming this phase of" his surgery.
Another Chavez supporter said Venezuela without him is
"like a ship without a rudder." Venezuelans hope he'll
recover, return, and continue leading the country.
On December 25, Maduro told them to "let January 10
arrive, and don't fall victim to speculation. The
people reelected a president on October 7, and that's
Chavez. The rest is speculation."
"What is certain is that the president has a leave of
absence granted by the National Assembly to attend to
his health."
"If this leave of absence has to be extended beyond
January 10, the constitution will be activated and
surely his swearing-in would take place before the
Supreme Court" on an unspecified date.
Opposition lawyer Ricardo Antela says postponing
swearing-in is possible if "by (January 10) there was
a medical guarantee, publicly supported by the
National Assembly, that the president will recover,
and a new date is decided on."
Dubious reports circulate about Chavez's health. Some
say he had a tracheotomy. Others suggest he needs
artificial respiration. His condition is worsening.
Liquid accumulated in his lungs, and/or he has a
serious renal deficiency.
Maduro said his daily routine proceeds normally.
Healing takes time. Chavez underwent six complicated
hours of major surgery. Perhaps weeks more recovery
time is needed. Most Venezuelans want him back no
matter how long it takes.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel's newly-passed health budget for 2014 includes a significant increase in government funding for legal abortions, a move that Sandy Shoshani, national director of the pro-life organization Be'ad Chaim, says is a serious indictment of the nation's spiritual condition.
Last month, the Health Basket Committee - which annually decides which medications, treatments and procedures will be covered or subsidized by the government - determined that the previous practice of paying for abortions for women under the age of 19 and over the age of 40 wasn't enough.
Included in the new budget is 16 million shekels (USD $4.5 million) to also cover abortions for women between the ages of 20-33.
While all women seeking a legal abortion must receive special approval, the committee in charge of making that decision rubber-stamps 97 percent of requests, or well over 20,000 abortions each year.
Reports in recent years were that abortion rates were falling in Israel, despite the Jewish state's very liberal laws on the matter. Since the 1990s, there had been a 20 percent drop in the number of legal abortions requested and performed. But the new legislation and government funding are expected to result in an additional 6,300 abortions per year.
Shoshani sees a clear financial incentive in the decision. "It's one thing for a government to approve abortion, but it's another thing entirely to pay for it," she told Israel Today.
While the thousands of new abortions are going to cost Israeli taxpayers, the government's new direction represents a boon for cash-strapped hospitals.
Abortion is typically a simple procedure that nevertheless costs between 3,000-4,000 shekels. Doctors and hospitals can quickly process thousands of abortions and reap the financial rewards. At the same time, that money could have been used for other life-saving medications, procedures and research.
That Israel's government would regard the lives of unborn babies in so flippant a manner is evidence that "the moral fibers of our nation are in shreds," said Shoshani, who warned that "you can't bring a curse on your nation and not expect repercussions. We just opened the door wide and made ourselves vulnerable."
Determined to do what they could, Shoshani and the staff of Be'ad Chaim (which means "Pro Life" in Hebrew) "sent letters to every Knesset member we could think of, and even to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."
Shoshani lamented that while "we received a few letters back saying they (the Knesset members) agree with us, no one is actually doing anything."
Ultimately, as Shoshani noted, "there is really not much we can do besides put this matter and our leaders before the Lord."
Of course, as we have written before, there is much more that Be'ad Chaim can and is doing. The Messianic-run organization, with branches throughout the country, works tirelessly to provide the financial and emotional support needed by those who would otherwise feel they had no alternative but to terminate their unborn children.
Israel Today has been proud to offer the annual Be'ad Chaim wall calendar in our online store for the past couple years. The calendar features the pictures and stories of babies saved from becoming abortion statistics.

Pea Seed
Product ID: 2831
Product Images
First to market.
Pods avg. 2 3/4" long with 7, medium-sized sweet peas. Vines are dark green, avg. 24" long, and can be grown with or without support. High resistance to fusarium wilt race 1. Select 2831T (Treated) or 2831 (Untreated). Avg. 2,200 seeds/lb. Packet: 250 seeds.
Additional Information
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Pisum sativum
CULTURE: Peas are a cool weather crop. Midsummer pickings are not as prolific as earlier harvests. For best yields ensure adequate fertility and a pH of 6.0-7.5. Adjust pH with ground limestone or wood ashes before planting, ideally in the fall. Plant the first sowing in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. In well-drained soil, sow 1-1 1/2" apart in a 3" band (25 seeds/ft.), 1/2-1" deep. Do not thin. Varieties under 3' tall can be sown without support in rows 12"-18" apart. For taller varieties, use crop supports
such as a trellis net or chicken wire to keep vines upright, easy to pick and off the ground where they are less likely to rot if rainy weather coincides with harvest. Suspend the bottom of the trellis or chicken wire just above the young plants. The best time to install a trellis is at planting time. Normal row spacing is 4-6' for trellised peas. Harvest when peas enlarge in the pods.
FALL CROP: Choose powdery mildew resistant varieties. Sow about 2 months before frost. Keep seeds well watered to encourage good germination.
INOCULANT: Inoculate peas to encourage formation of nitrogen producing nodules on the plant roots. This enriches the soil, results in larger plants, and increases yield.
TREATED SEEDS: Treated seeds are less susceptible to rotting in prolonged cold, wet weather.
DISEASES: A common disease is pea root rot (Fusarium sp. or Aphanomyces euteiches) which causes browning and drying of the foliage from the ground up. The best control is to ensure well-drained soil and to rotate crops out of legumes for at least three years. Powdery mildew causes white, powdery mold on the leaves, stems, and pods in hot weather. Choose resistant varieties.
FREEZING: All our peas are good for freezing and canning.
AVG. SEEDING RATE:1 lb. per 80', 13 lb./1,000', 272 lb./acre at 25 seeds/ft., in rows 24" apart.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/LB.: 1,450-3,400 (avg. 2,200).
PACKET: 250 seeds, sows 8'.

AMD FirePro V8800 Review - Evergreen and Cypress Go Pro
AMD Brings Cypress to the Professional Market
AMD's FirePro brand has had a tough goal recently - to gain ground in a market where NVIDIA has traditionally dominated with Quadro graphics cards. The AMD FirePro brand (it was previously called the FireGL series of cards) has been making in-roads on that goal in the last few years with the release of the RV770 architecture that was more commonly known as the Radeon HD 4000 series of cards for the consumer. That GPU was powerful, efficient and offered unique features that at the the time NVIDIA couldn't match. And again, AMD seems to have hit the nail on the head with the Evergreen series of GPUs first released last September as it is another powerful yet power efficient GPU that developers and designers could get behind.
(For more information on the Evergreen series of GPUs behind the new FirePro cards, check out or first review of the GPU in its desktop form here.)
Now, it would be silly for me to type this and not tell you that AMD has more professional FirePro cards based on the Evergreen family of GPUs coming down the pipeline soon but how soon and to what degree we can't quite say. Just as AMD iterated on the consumer front expect them to release new and updated cards in a staggered release through the spring and summer.
Video News
Thanks for this article on 'AMD FirePro V8800 Review.' It is good to know that AMD has released the first in a range of new professional graphics cards using the Evergreen GPU - the AMD FirePro V8800 2GB. Those who play games will find the specifications of it very familiar. The features such as Cypress GPU, 1600 stream processors and 825 MHz clock speed would be recognized easily by gamers. As I like checking out what type of sites are doing well, I found out that Groupon and its clone sites are causing hits around the globe.

Does having lesbian sex feel the same as two gay guys having sex? Please answer my question asap. I'm very curious.
Yes, lesbian sex feels exactly the same as two gay guys having sex; only it's completely different.
Okay. So you, a male, want to appreciate the finer points of the Sapphic arts, is that right? Well, here's the thing—you can't. Know why? Because you aren't a woman! Unless you have female genitalia, female nerve endings, and a female nervous system and brain to tie it all together, all I can really throw at you is an endless supply of really shitty metaphors. So let me be succinct: it feels good.
The mysteries of female sexuality are completely inexplicable to us benighted men folk. We can only imagine the throws of ecstasy a woman must feel as she dissolves into a puddle of orgasmic bliss. And when ya put two of these creatures together for some hot dyke sex…ahhh well there's no wrapping our head around that no matter how hard we try.
I suppose that's why so much of straight porn is dedicated to girl-on-girl sex. Straight guys apparently love having their faces rubbed in their pitiful inadequacy, so to speak.
Good luck.

So the guy I'm seeing has a bent dick. He told me that a girl came down too hard on it and now it's bent permanently. I'm wondering if that could be true. Thank you
A serious injury to a guy's dick could indeed make it curve. But what your BF claims happened is hard for me to believe. Cock curvature is not uncommon. Fact is many men have dicks that swerve from the straight and narrow. Some curve to the left, and others to the right. Some curve up, some curve down.
You're clear on the concept of what creates wood, right? An erection occurs when two tubular structures that run the length of the penis, the corpora cavernosa, become engorged with blood. Imagine his cock is a balloon with two separate inflatable tubes on either side. If you put more air pressure in the tube on one side, the balloon will curve. Simple as all that!
Many guys believe that a bent cock is caused by wearing tight briefs instead of boxers or that it's caused by circumcision or jerking off too much. These are all myths. However, rough or heavy-handed masturbation during one's youth can promote a curvature later in life. That's why I always promote handling one's pecker with a great deal of care.
Good luck.

Viktor Persson needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 211 designs submitted by 55 freelance designers.
Logo for an upcoming snowboard & skiing community website.
Snowborn (snowborn.se)
Snowborn is going to be a community for snowboarders and skiiers in Sweden with focus on tricks (bigjump, rails etc). The website is almost complete and needs a icon styled logo to complete the design. The logo should be able to stand alone and sit next to the text "Snowborn", focus on the logo rather than on the logotype.
Format: Vector graphics or atleast 500x500 px.
Check out the design to get a better idea of what the site design will look like:Snowborn design preview
Keep it simple (yet creative)!
Examples of simple icon style logotypes I like:
- Technorati
- Arcsin (my own company logo)
- Emerica
- 99designs
- Simplebits
- Simple
- Flat-style
- Reflecting either a shared concept of skiing/snowboarding or both (not just one of those).
- Can be used next to the text "Snowborn" and stand alone.
- Keep it close to 1:1 ratio (square)
- The letters S & B mixed together in any way, it's "Snowborn", not "Snow Born".
- Too many colors (max 5)
- Swedish flag/color related ideas
- 3D / hi-tech
- Embryo
- Common clip-art shapes

Yeah, OK, so it's a horrible joke. And yeah, we kind of already used something like it for the first crash of the new Lotus F1 car. And yeah, the 414E is pretty cool. Just call us slaves to tradition.
The 414E is Lotus's take on the plug-in hybrid. (Some people prefer the term "extended-range electric vehicle." Tomato, tomahto.) It sports one electric motor for each rear wheel; a 47-hp, three-cylinder engine that serves to recharge the car's lithium-ion battery pack; and a 35-mile range on electric power alone. In what we can only assume is a tribute to Hethel's famed John Player Special track and street livery, the interior is a startling combination of black and gold tones.
Also, just for the record, we'd like to draw your attention to the complete lack of Lucas Electrics jokes in this post. We may be silly and juvenile, but we are not easily amused. Mostly. (Heh. "Wiener.")

Appearing and Vanishing Tora's Bottles
4 effects in 1!
Phase One: Performer shows a two-door box , which is quite empty. Next the magician appears a bottle from inside of it, and again shows the empty box. After which the magician continues to produce bottle, after bottle until there are six different colored bottles!
Phase Two: Magi puts all six bottles inside a bigger box. He then asks a member of the audience to choose one of the bottles; they can choose any color they like! After the bottle is chosen, the magi picks it up and puts it inside the tube. When you open the larger box, "all five other bottles" have vanished!
Phase Three: Now the chosen bottle is inside the tube but upon the magicians command when the tube is shown the chosen bottle is vanished too!
Fourth Phase: As a grand final, after making all the six bottles vanish, what could be better than an appearance, only this time the magi produces a "can" of Coca-Cola, Pepsi or other preferred drink.
The bottles are made of light weight aluminum and colored with the best modern method!

New bannetons from ebay - do I clean???
Just picked up some banneton's from ebay for around $13.00/piece!
I would like to clean them before using. I'm thinking of using only water, and then throwing them in a 150 - 200 degree oven to dry.
My other thought is just to flour the inside, and if there is bacteria/germs, at 450+ degrees, anything harmful should be killed anyway.
Thoughts? Should I use soap & water?

The Senior Council, Sphinx Club, and Public Affairs Office have planned to replicate a Wabash "family portrait" last taken in the fall of 1985. The entire Wabash community — students, faculty, staff, campus services, and Bon Appetit food service — is invited to gather Thursday morning at 11 a.m. for the Monon Bell Chapel, which will be followed by the all-campus photograph. The photograph will be taken in the visiting stands of the football stadium at approximately 11:45 a.m.
"I remember well when we did it back in the 80s," said Jim Amidon, director of public affairs. "I was a sophomore and I just remember having everyone together at one time in one place. It's a pretty special memory."
In the last photograph taken, members of fraternities and residence halls stood together in groups, wearing fraternity colors.
This year's Wabash family portrait will be used in the 2007 yearbook, The Wabash, and will be made available through the bookstore.

Gerald Eugene Sheffler, age 84, a resident of Hughesville, Md., and formerly of Greencastle, Pa., left this earth to be with the Lord on Monday, Dec. 10, 2012.
Gerald Eugene Sheffler, age 84, a resident of Hughesville, Md., and formerly of Greencastle, Pa., left this earth to be with the Lord on Monday, Dec. 10, 2012. Born April 11, 1928, in Waynesboro, Pa., he was the son of the late Elizabeth M. Sheffler. He married his loving, devoted wife Grace "Marie" (Barnhart) Sheffler on March 17, 1950. Mr. Sheffler served as a member of the National Guard, the Army and retired as a Navy veteran of 24 years serving proudly in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. During his military tenure he was stationed all over the world and aboard ship often in war zones. His dedication to service was as an infantryman, a hospital corpsman serving wounded on the battlefield and in hospitals and later becoming an optical instructor and an optician. After military retirement, he continued his career as an optician in Chambersburg and later in Waldorf, Md. Gerald was a life member and a past commander of the Harry D. Zeigler VFW Post 6319 of Greencastle, member of the American Legion, member of the Elks Club and a member of the FRA (Fleet Reserve Association). In his earlier years he enjoyed hunting, fishing and golfing. He had a wonderful sense of humor, a terrific memory and a gift of helping those less fortunate. We have been blessed by the time we have spent with him and his presence will truly be missed. Surviving family in addition to his wife of 62 years are two daughters Brenda Ott (husband Stephen) Chambersburg, Jerry Shatzer (companion Bryan Rabbett), Marion, Pa., one son Tony Sheffler (wife Jennifer), Hughesville, Md., six grandchildren Walter Flowers, Jennifer Ott, Angela Atherton, Herbert "Andy" Shatzer, Shawna Sheffler, Jared Sheffler, three great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. In addition to his mother he was preceded in death by three brothers. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, Dec. 15, at 11 a.m. from the Harold M. Zimmerman And Son Funeral Home, 45 S. Carlisle St., Greencastle, with Rev. Robert Fitz officiating. Burial with military honors provided by the Chambersburg VFW Post 1599 Honor Guard will be in the Cedar Hill Cemetery, Greencastle. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Friday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. The Greencastle VFW will hold a memorial service at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to Lutheran Home Care And Hospice, 2700 Luther Drive, Chambersburg, Pa. 17202. Online condolences may be expressed at: www.zimmermanfh.com

Steven Spielberg Gossip
Steven Spielberg gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
DiCaprio & Spielberg reunite in some uncertain future
Today in your dad's favorite news, it's been announced that Leonardo DiCaprio and Steven Spielberg will reunite to make a biopic of Civil War general and US president Ulysses S. Grant. The movie is being adapted by David James Kelly from Ron Chernow's biography, Grant. So you have a book by the same biographer who wrote Alexander Hamilton, which inspired Lin-Manuel Miranda to write Hamilton, being adapted by the guy who wrote the Robin Hood movie Full Story
Spielberg + DC = False Advertising
Yesterday afternoon a flashy headline blared across the internet: STEVEN SPIELBERG DIRECTING SUPERHERO MOVIE! Nerds everywhere sh*t their pants. The thing is, it's a little misleading. Technically, yes, Spielberg is developing a movie based on a comic book for DC Films. But he's not making a movie for the DC Extended Universe, which includes Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Full Story

Meryl Streep is playing Katharine Graham, Tom Hanks is playing Ben Bradlee, Steven Spielberg is directing. Full Story

DDL vs Clint Eastwood and the "old white men"
Kevin Winter/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
Daniel Day-Lewis was honoured the other night at BAFTA LA. Have you seen his acceptance speech? It was dedicated to Clint Eastwood's Obama chair. The President had just won re-election the night before. Conservatives were in a tailspin. And here's a British actor taking the piss out of a Hollywood legend. Full Story
The World's Greatest Actor
Jemal Countess/Getty
This is the cover of the new TIME. TIME also hosted the Lincoln screening and Q&A with Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis, the World's Greatest Actor, last night in New York. So in other words, everyone else, all the other 4 actors in the Best Actor Oscar category, be like Jessica Biel at Justin Timberlake's wedding: just be happy to be invited. Full Story
Does Gwyneth cook on holiday?
Spielberg's yacht is huge. They must have a chef. Who cooks to Gwyneth's specifications? Gwyneth has been on holiday in Italy with her Uncle Morty, her brother, and her children. Chris Martin is performing on the festival circuit with Coldplay. The body, as you can see, is showcased in several bikinis, very very fit. Full Story
Tintin the Monstrous
Written by Sarah If you follow me on Twitter, you've probably seen me talking about the 3D nightmare mo-cap monsters of The Adventures of Tintin, the adaptation of the mid-century Herge comics (does anyone even know who/what Tintin is these days, and do they really care if they do?) being brought to "life" on film by directors Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson (they co-directed via video conferencing because that's totally not going to backfire). Full Story
Leo & Blake: photo assumption
So she skipped hitting any carpets in exchange for an introduction to Steven Spielberg? Oh but Blake Lively will be busy here in Cannes. Ryan Gosling is here too. Right now though, it's about Leo. Earlier I noted there had yet to be any pictures of either, and certainly not Blake getting glorified at the Palais. Full Story
Weekend Winner
It's an easy prediction. Drew Barrymore's directorial debut opens on Friday and, without significant competition, riding the wave of positive buzz, calling on the "Girl Power" collective, Whip It should win at the box office this weekend. I've not seen it yet. I did however note the remarks of my colleagues back at TIFF Full Story
GOOPy DVDs
My Gwyneth last night after dinner at Cipriani. Very short skirt as usual. Long toned legs as usual. Red Kab string as usual. But no makeup which I love about my girl because, well, look at Carrie Underwood – more on that later. And then the hair. Prairie hair. Or settler hair. It's the GOOPer at her most "casual".

The remarks made at the Gun Appreciation Day rally held at Diamond Park on Saturday were thought provoking and patriotic.
I felt safe among so many law-abiding citizens who I knew were armed.
They were gathering together in a peaceful way, and they were exercising their First Amendment right (the right to peaceably assemble) in order to protect their Second Amendment right — the right "to keep and bear arms."
Many speakers gave noteworthy comments that I never had considered, and others offered ideas that I had considered in the past. Here are some:
1. The Second Amendment is the guarantee of all of the constitutional amendments, a guarantor of all our other civil rights. It isn't just about guns; it is about the gradual erosion of all of our other freedoms.
2. The Second Amendment never was intended to be put in the Constitution for the right to shoot a deer. It was intended for an armed citizenry to guard themselves from a tyrannical government.
3. Bill Been, author of "Masters of Audacity and Deceit," listed Communist goals for our country as discrediting the American Constitution, discrediting the American Founding Fathers, and belittling all forms of American culture. He said many organizations, including the United Nations, want eventually to do away with all of our guns.
4. If the United States military has a right to bear a weapon, we as a citizenry have the same right to have the same small-arms weapon, and the military should be at strict subordination to the civil power.
5. Many of the tragic cases of illegal shooting in public places, such as in schools, were committed when the perpetrator had been using psychotropic drugs. These drugs given to the mentally ill can have tragic side effects.
As a concerned citizen, I felt the breeze of liberty blowing in the wind on Saturday at Diamond Park. Standing in the park with the gun-bearing citizenry who are preserving our freedom was a choice experience.
There are enemies of this country both foreign and domestic at this time. The good people at Diamond Park on Saturday didn't want to transform America. They want to preserve America and our freedom.

Understanding each other's body language...

Mike has done it again, displaying his usual talent as a blog writer, his analytical skills, and his balanced (yes: balanced!!) conclusions on what he has been able to observe during the past year. As this is part one, there is more to come - the more explosive stuff.... :-) We are looking forward to receiving the continuation of his year-end message.
Just the amount of time Mike has invested to put together his thoughts and assemble relevant links to make this one of the most comprehensive assessments of the developments in the shark world is quite impressive.
Mike does not claim to have the key to "truth" as a concept of absolute and indisputable knowledge - who has it anyway, anywhere? -, and he tells his readers that,
"This is a blog reflecting personal opinions - not Journalism!"
which I don't agree with AT ALL!!!
Journalism is ALWAYS based on personal opinions and choices of reporting even if the author tries to be as objective as possible. Mike's blogs are highly subjective, which makes them a delight to read, and they can be defined as journalistic pieces of the genre coined "Feuilleton" in Europe.
Read the part: "Feuilleton Style", and you will agree with me that this does indeed apply to Mike's blogs.
The shark world should be happy to have Mike as one of its few independent, critical, outspoken, and original thinkers, unlike so many others, in fact most, who bore their readers to death with their parroting of common places or unproven 'theories' (e.g. "no more sharks, no more oxygen to sustain life on the planet") - which, I have to admit, I myself have also fallen for it out of plain negligence.

Mr. and Mrs. Rajagopal's huge coffee, pepper and betel nut plantation of 90 acres is the setting for this Homestay. One of the most outstanding aspects of this homestay is the two brand new luxury "cottages" built on platforms high above the ground allowing spectacular views deep into the plantations without a sign of habitation for miles around. The couple lives in a modern house which visitors are encouraged to use as their own when they are not relaxing on the balconies of their cottages. The delicious traditional Keralan meals are usually eaten with the guests in the central dining room (with the sound of Hindu devotional chants drifting from the Puja room), and the informal and friendliness of the couple leads to long conversation over numerous cups of hot coffee.
Mr.Rajagopal enjoys explaining about the plantation which he has been running for over 40 years and takes the guests around in a jeep or by walk to show off his life's work. During these informative trips one can learn about the different methods of cultivation, the 20 different types of fruit trees, and the many species of birds which flock to nest in them. Treks to waterfalls and the awe-inspiring "Sunrise Valley" are also an option worth exploring and a trip to a tribal colony only 1km away is a fascinating opportunity to see the ancient community life. In the evening and early morning, peacocks and monkeys are often seen around the area. Lucky guests often witness the beguiling sight of peacocks dancing with feathers spread like a Japanese fan in the early morning mist. An ideal base for exploring the Wayanad area, this homestay offers the perfect combination of luxury and privacy along with the warm company and traditional hospitality of an Indian family.
