KABUL, Afghanistan — Coarse mud was clinging to Fereshta Kazemi's high-heeled boots as she tottered on a slippery footpath. No one noticed. Everyone was staring at her legs.
Her legs! They were exposed! And worse — she wore sheer hosiery that only accented her limbs and emphasized that her tight skirt ended somewhat above her knees. Her hair was uncovered too. It cascaded like a dark blanket across her shoulders.
The popcorn peddler stopped filling his soiled bags and ogled her. The vegetable man leered, and so did the security guard. Two women wearing burkas stared hard. A herd of boys and men bird-dogged this exotic figure from America, pointing and scolding in an alleyway in Old Kabul's Shar-e-Kohna neighborhood.
One boy was so transfixed that he tumbled into a sewage ditch, drawing howls of laughter from his companions. And still everyone gawked at the Afghan woman from America.

Benihana, Inc. owns and licenses restaurants in the Benihana and Benihana Grill chain of Japanese dinnerhouses. The restaurants specialize in an exhibition-style of Japanese cooking called teppanyaki. Customers sit around a communal table at which a Benihana chef slices their seafood, steak, chicken, and vegetables with lightning speed, grills their meal right in front of them, and then tosses it accurately onto their plates. The restaurants are decorated with Samurai armor and valuable art, and Shoji rice paper screens partition the dining areas.
NY Strip Teppanyaki
Japanese Steakhouse Copycat Recipe
Serves 2
soybean oil
2 (6 oz.) New York steaks
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
garlic powder
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
4 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
1 carrot, thinly sliced on the bias
1/2 cup snow peas
1/2 cup sliced savoy cabbage
1/2 cup bean sprouts
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons sliced shallots
2 tablespoons finely chopped tomato
1 pinch red chili flakes
cilantro leaves, for garnish
Put a large skillet over medium-high heat and brush it with some soybean oil. Season the steaks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. When the pan is hot, add the steaks. Cook until the steaks are nicely browned, about 4 to 6 minutes. Flip the steaks and cook for 2 more minutes. Top the steaks with the butter and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Cook for another 2 to 4 minutes, depending on how you like your steaks done. Remove the steaks to a cutting board, cover them with foil, and let them rest while you cook the vegetables.
Carefully wipe out the pan and brush it with some more oil. Add the carrots, snow peas, and cabbage. Season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and cook them until they are just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add more oil, if necessary. Add the bean sprouts and 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cook just until the bean sprouts are warmed through. Divide the vegetables between 2 serving plates. Slice the steaks and arrange them on top of the vegetables.
Put the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce and mirin into the pan over low heat. Add the shallots, tomato, and chili flakes and cook until the shallots have softened, about 2 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the steaks and garnish with cilantro.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 28, 2009) - It was a simple scenario for the Lady Bucs on Saturday afternoon - win and earn a share of the Atlantic Sun regular season title.
Unfortunately, ETSU waited for the worst possible time to display a lackluster performance and Mercer played spoilers, as the Bears raced past the Lady Bucs, 90-79, inside
Mercer had five players score in double figures - including Courtney Ford coming off the bench to score 16 points and grab 10 rebounds. LaToya Jackson scored a game high 19 points and dished out four assists to along with three steals.
The loss sent ETSU's record down to 18-10, 16-4 in the A-Sun, and the Lady Bucs finished one game behind Florida Gulf Coast in the regular season standings. Meanwhile, Mercer helped its cause as they now await word on if they will be the three or four seed in next week's A-Sun Tournament and the Bears improved to 16-13, 12-8.
"We didn't defend and Mercer came in focused and ready to play," commented head coach Karen Kemp. "When Mercer had open shots they stepped up and knocked them down. I have been really frustrated with our defense over the last couple games now, because I believe we are a better team than that. To let somebody come into our house and put up 90 points and shoot almost 60 percent is unacceptable."
The Lady Bucs better get back to their lockdown ways on defense if they want to win a second straight A-Sun Tournament and reach the NCAAs for consecutive seasons. Earlier this year, ETSU used to rank first in the A-Sun in 3-point field goal defense and posted a stretch of five games when not allowing an opponent to reach 65 points. However, over the last three games ETSU's defense is allowing 80 points per game and seeing the opposition to shoot 45 percent from the field.
On Saturday, Mercer shot 58.5 percent (31-53) from the floor and hit eight of its 15 attempts from beyond the arc. The 31 made field goals and near 60-percent shooting clip, marked season highs by any Lady Buccaneer opponent this season.
After trailing by eight at the half, ETSU did a much better job shooting the ball in the final 20 minutes (45.7 percent) and the Lady Bucs managed to tie the game at 61-all with 7:14 to play. However, the Lady Bucs were never able to take command and grab the lead.
From that point at the 7-minute mark, Mercer posted a knockout blow; by going on a 12-2 run over the next three minutes of the contest to take a 73-63 lead with 4:18 to play. Eventually, the Bears extended their lead to as many as 15, 83-68, and the Lady Bucs never had an answer.
The Lady Bucs shot 36.5 percent (27-74) for the game and finished with a frigid 14.3 clip from beyond the arc (4-28). ETSU did force Mercer into 24 turnovers and scored 28 points off the miscues; while also out-rebounding the visitors from
For the contest, junior forward TaRonda Wiles (
In the first half, ETSU had no answer on the offensive end, as Mercer's zone defense did an outstanding job forcing the Lady Bucs to take too many outside shots. In result, ETSU shot a miserable 28.2 percent (11-39) and the Lady Bucs were held 2-of-17 from beyond the arc.
The Bears set the tone early by jumping out to a 4-0 lead and Mercer led until Belcher's two free throws at the 12:56 mark gave the Lady Bucs an 11-9 advantage. ETSU would eventually move its margin to four (13-9), but they couldn't extend it any further.
With ETSU up 18-16 (8:10 to play), the wheels fell off and Mercer took full control of the game. The Bears scored 23 of the next 36 points and took a 39-31 lead into the locker room.
Mercer shot a blistering 55.6 percent (15-27) from the field and after going 3-of-22 from 3-point land at Upstate on Thursday night, the Bears responded with a 5-for-9 showing in the opening 20 minutes. The Lady Bucs out-rebounded Mercer 22-20 and ETSU scored 16 second chance points (11 offensive rebounds).
The Lady Bucs will now begin their preparations for the 2009 Atlantic Sun Tournament, hosted at Lipscomb's Allen Arena. ETSU, who will be the number one seed, won't play until Friday at noon (1 p.m. eastern); however, the Lady Bucs won't learn their opponent until the conclusion of the Kennesaw State/USC Upstate match-up. Should Kennesaw knock off the Spartans, the Lady Bucs will face the winner of Belmont/Stetson; however if Upstate defeats the Owls then ETSU will face either Mercer or Stetson.

Consider Dickinson (1761-1854) is best known in Deerfield, Massachusetts, as a successful farmer and as the man who left land for the new campus of Deerfield Academy. However, as a young man, after several years in the army, he spent time in Canada hunting and trapping for furs. This reminiscence of those times was recorded by Rodney B. Field, a great nephew of his first wife, Filana, and a descendant of one of the early families in Deerfield. This "adventure" recounts young Consider Dickinson's experiences in the untamed land around Lake Champlain in 1785.

"With a Single Step: Stories in the Making of America"
The permanent exhibit highlighting the Chinese diaspora in America is slightly text-heavy, but there are plenty of interactive features to keep the kids engaged. Mini history buffs can hold an iron from an early-20th-century Chinese-owned Laundromat and examine the Heritage Chinatown Shop, a showcase of an old general store displaying objects—including specialty Chinese goods—recovered from Chinatown stores in U.S. cities. Tweens and parents will be interested in watching the interviews with New York Times journalist Jennifer 8. Lee, designer Anna Sui and others from MoCA's video archive. At the end of the exhibit is a large map on which visitors can use red thread to trace their family's journey to the United States. All ages.

One of Mary's favourite events was a charity ball, a dinner/dance, at the Gresham Hotel. Everyone in their group of friends pitched in as much money as they could, and they hired a car to take them to the hotel. Mary said she felt like royalty as the car pulled up in front of the Gresham. The driver opened the car door and gently took her hand to help draw her out of the car. She giggled to herself over all of the people watching them, knowing full well that she, her beau Michael, and their friends had spent their last ten pence to pay for the tickets to that dance and to hire that car. She loved feeling as though, for just a few minutes, their group of friends was the centre of attention that night.

Very Engaging First Meeting
Fund: Opus Capital
Posted by chief_firefighter on 2011-02-02
Recently pitched two of the partners at the firm, and had a great time doing so. They understood our market, asked very thoughtful questions, and followed up quickly with very helpful introductions and proposed next steps. It's too early to tell where it will lead, but even if I don't eventually get a term sheet, it was an incredibly well-spent hour of my time.PRIVATE: Members Only (430 Characters)

Primary election day is Tuesday, so odds are that Wheatfield's two supervisor candidates won't be able to face off in an election debate before then, but both agree they'd consider the matter before November's election.
Current Supervisor Robert B. Cliffe, the endorsed candidate of the Wheatfield Republican Party, is being challenged in the Republican primary by newcomer Thomas J. Larson. Cliffe already holds the Independence and Conservative lines. Larson is in the primary for the Working Families line, where there also is an opportunity to ballot. He will run on the Democratic line in November.
Last week, Larson indicated he would like to debate Cliffe.
Cliffe, who is seeking his third two-year term, doubted a time and place could be set before the primary, but said "I would love to debate Tom any time, provided the group holding the debate is fair."
Larson had suggested the Niagara County Patriots group to hold the debate, but Cliffe pointed out he is a member of that group. Cliffe suggested the Wheatfield Republicans hold the debate, because the primary will decide who will hold the Republican line. With the primary so close, other groups are being suggested for an after-primary debate, such as the League of Women Voters.
"I would rather see it be a disinterested third party, because the Republican committee people are firmly behind Mr. Cliffe," said Larson, who is a registered Republican and a Republican committee member in the City of Niagara Falls. He said he decided to seek the Democratic line as well, since no one was running on that line, and collected the necessary signatures.
One issue likely to come up in a debate would be Larson's charge that the town has an unnecessary surplus.
Cliffe said his administration has focused on being conservative on spending and keeping costs down. Also, the town has not added any large projects requiring loans, so long-term borrowing is down.
"I was brought in about 4 years ago to improve the financial position of the town. We've gone from a very deep hole into a very good place," he said, adding that it would not be responsible budgeting to bring back unnecessary or unwarranted services that have been cut. "We believe that the surplus is right where it should be. ... Our goal is to produce a balanced budget each year and to provide the services which our residents wish to enjoy."
Larson said, "My reason (for) running is because I think the town can do better."
Larson said he has heard a lot of rumor and innuendo that he is the candidate of former supervisor Tim Demler and, that if he wins the election, he plans to offer Demler a position. "This is absolutely not true," he said.
Also on the primary ballot will be candidates for the two four-year Wheatfield Town Council seats. Incumbent Arthur W. Gerbec and Randy W. Retzlaff are in the Republican primary. Shirley J. Joy and Judy A. Blake are in the Democratic primary. Karen McKernan and Michael A. Kislack are in both the Democratic and Republican primaries.
Another Wheatfield resident on the primary ballot will be William L. Ross, Niagara County Legislature chairman and District 2 legislator. He's running on the Republican and Independence lines. Sean M. O'Laughlin is seeking the Republican line. There is an opportunity to ballot on the Independence and Working Families lines.
In the Town of Niagara, the only primary balloting will be for town councilman. Incumbent Marc M. Carpenter is on the Conservative, Independence and Working Families lines. Richard A. Sirianni is on the Conservative and Independence lines. There is an opportunity to ballot on the Conservative, Working Families, Independence and Green lines.

Road To Bali
MPAA Rating:
Owned By:
Movie Details:
This sixth entry in the Crosby-Hope-Lamour "Road" series was the first (and last) in Technicolor. This time, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope play George Cochran and Harold Gridley, American vaudevillians stranded in Australia. To avoid a dual shotgun wedding, George and Harold sign on as deep-sea divers for sinister South-Sea-island prince Ken Arok (Murvyn Vye). After a contretemps with an octopus (courtesy of stock footage from Reap the Wild Wind), our heroes sail to the prince's Balinese homeland, where they meet and fall in love with gorgeous Princess Lalah (Dorothy Lamour). Though Lalah favors George, she feels obligated to Harold, because he resembles her childhood best friend — a chimpanzee (this must be seen to be believed). When Ken Arok attempts to usurp Lalah's throne, she and the boys escape to a tropical island, where they meet the inevitable slapstick-comedy gorilla. More adventures await the intrepid trio on another island, this one dominated by an active volcano. Who gets the girl in this one? A hint: the loser tries to physically prevent the "The End" title from flashing on the screen during the final fadeout. Though not as fresh and spontaneous as earlier "Road" endeavors, Road to Bali has its fair share of non sequitur gags, inside jokes and unbilled guest appearances (including Martin and Lewis, Bing's brother Bob Crosby, Humphrey Bogart and Jane Russell). Best bit: when Crosby feels a song coming on, Hope turns to the camera and hisses "He's gonna sing, folks. Now's the time to go and get your popcorn."

NWSB insider Blair Thomas brings us his reasons why despite a loss vs New England, the Timbers should hold their heads high. Things could be worse. After the lone goal was scored, the Timbers controlled the tempo of the game and Franck Songo'o made a comeback of sorts. Any time a team can go on the road and at least come away with a point via a tie, the feat should be considered a victory.

Pancake Accessories for Christmas
Being a thoughtful person with a very good memory and a sense of humor, my sister went to a cooking store for my Christmas presents and bought me three one-use items I would never allow myself to buy, including a one-egg frying pan. The other two were a pancake pen and Star Wars pancake molds. Who needs those?? No one. And yet...
The Star Wars molds are pretty much what you'd expect. They allow you to put pancake Yodas and Darth Vadors and Storm Troopers on your plate, smother them with maple syrup and chow down. Unfortunately they don't actually make the best pancakes. You have to spread the batter very evenly to work and so you miss out on that dense and mushy fat center that poured pancakes often have. Um, but did I mention you get to eat Yoda?!
The pancake pen, on the other hand, is going to change my life (or at least the way I make pancakes). It's large enough to fit an entire batch of batter. You just pour the batter in and squirt out however much batter you want, in whatever form you want into the heated pan. Plus, it stores the batter extremely easily. You can just stick the bottle in the door of the refrigerator and pull it out any time you want a pancake. (No, they're not paying me to say this. I just loved it!)
I should mention that I also received a beautiful mortar and pestle from my parents that is not a silly gift at all and will also change my life in the kitchen. I can wait to make Indian food with fresh-ground spices! Did you all get anything fun for the kitchen these holidays?

A mortar and pestle is a wonderful kitchen tool. I use mine way more often than I thought I would.
For Christmas, I got an awesome book about chocolate and a set of three beautiful soufflé dishes. Yay!

lol! I LOVE the star wars themed pancakes! Very cool!

Just so you know, those Star Wars cutters are TOTALLY NOT useless.
In fact, I think I most definitely need them.
...and the pancake pen.

- Cicero Sings said...
Oh, yes, I often want one of those, use once a year gadgets ... but then I think of storing it. I have many such items already so have become a little more cautious in my purchases.
My pancake batter is too thick for that last gadget though I do like the idea one can have a pancake whenever one wants. I whip the egg whites separately and fold them into my batter ... so you see, it wouldn't work for me. I particularly like the recipe, after trying many others, so am not apt to change. You can say I'm stuck in a rut ... I don't mind.
- 16 January, 2011 21:21
Wow, sounds like you have a really cool little sister! I bet she also has a crazy schedule and feels really bad about not answering her e-mail.
- 19 January, 2011 20:19
- Hopie said...
Rosa - Hehe, you know it is when I make pancakes!
Camille - Oooh, if you need guinea pigs, you know, for test runs of your new stuff... ;-)
Niki - You should come to Paris and try them ;-)
Kirstin - Yep, case in point. You see them, you need them. And trust me, you definitely need them.
Cicero - Yea storage space is a stuff one for me in my apt kitchen. I want more and more stuff but I really don't have space for it. I used my Dad's pancake recipe, which luckily fits perfectly, but yous sounds light and delicious - no need to fix something that ain't broke!
Laney - Yes I do. And I hope she does. Ahem. Ahem.

I am so smitten with tons of uni-taskers! Those Yoda pancakes are adorable, my husband would love those! I could see doing all sorts of fun things with that pancake pen from shapes, to colors, to all sorts of funky designs. What a sweet gift!
- 20 January, 2011 15:11
- Tony said...
Yay! Now I get to see the pancake pen and Star Wars molds. I'm pretty jealous. That pancake pen would've come in handy today when I was figuring out how to store a bunch of leftover pancake batter.

ooo i wish i had that one egg frying pan...it makes a lot of sense to have one.

He's currently 3-7-0-2 with a 3.30 GAA, .904 save percentage, and a shutout. Edmonton is 6-8-0-2 on the year.

One of the stars of this weekend's Branson Auction, a one owner 1964 Shelby Cobra, sold for an impressive $475,000 before auction fees yesterday. CSX 2305 is one of the few single owner Cobras known to exist.
The 289 Cobra was purchased in 1964 by a doctor at Broadway Ford in Kansas City. It was still in possession until earlier this year when the car's original owner passed. The Cobra was one of the stars of this weekend's Branson Auction where the car finally found a second owner after 47 years.

Today, as I have for the last six weeks, I weighed in at 77kg! We started in November 2009 and I have managed to lose and sustain 4kg. Which is great, but maintaining 77kg for six whole weeks is depressing! Admittedly I have not been as diligent with my exercise as I was when I first started. I walk for an hour three times a week, including hills and some running and I go to the gym two times a week. Anyway, it's good to have to check in each week and it keeps healthy eating and exercise at the forefront of my mind. I turn 40 in December this year and I'm really hoping to be back to my pre-baby weight of 70kg. I'll keep working on it.
That aside I still haven't put my zip in my dress. As it is a very rainy day today and the boys were going stir-crazy by 9.30am, I decided to head out to the shops and buy my ironing board for my craft room. I no longer need to run up and down the internal staircase and leave threads lying around in the spare room, it will make 'Mr C' very happy indeed. Now I just have to reorganise my craft room to get it to fit...
The boys had a great time running around in the rain this morning in their rain coats. They were catching teeny tiny snails climbing up the wall and putting them in the bug catcher, boys will be boys.
Here's a sneak preview of my almost finished Coffee Date Dress designed by Elaine May and located as a free pattern on Burda Style. This is my second dress and I'm pretty happy with the fit and the style, it is a beautiful, girly design. Also, included a photo of the material for my next project, Kaffe Fassett's Lotus in Umber, I just love this material. Kaffe is a fabulous designer.
Well, that's it for today, better go and get those beautiful boys up from their nap or they'll never sleep tonight.

If you have followed So September for a few years than you might remember this little project from way back in 2010. It was an embroidered fleece blanket created for a holiday craft article on Good Housekeeping.com. In the process of working on that project many blankets were made. They did not end up selling but that was okay because a fleece blanket (or several) is something we can actually use in our home.
And use we have. These babies have been used and loved over and over again. They have been turned into forts, warmed chilly little feet in front of Saturday morning cartoons and have even been dragged along on road trips.
|photo from 2010
|photo from 2010
And I swear these are actual photos of these blankets from then and now. You'll see they look pretty much the same. After all those trips through the washer and dryer (and NOT the delicate cycle) and all the rough play they have endured. I am pleasantly surprised that the embroidery has held up so nicely.
This was the first project I ever embroidered using fleece and after this experience I have to give it a thumbs up! Don't rule this fabric out when planning handmade holiday gifts or just some fun household items. If you missed the tutorial and project back in 2010 you can find the free snowflake embroidery pattern here as well.

Dicerna Pharmaceuticals (DRNA) Hits New 52-week Low During January 12 SessionEquities Staff Follow |
Dicerna Pharmaceuticals (DRNA) established a new 52-week low yesterday, and could be a company to watch at the open. After opening at $8.53, Dicerna Pharmaceuticals dropped to $7.58 for a new 52-week low. By the closing bell, the company's stock was at $7.79 a share for a loss of 6.26%.
Falling to a new 52-week low is never fun for company's shareholder, but, depending on who you ask, it can be either a buy or a sell signal. Someone bearish on the stock might see it reaching its lowest price in a year as a sign of growing downward momentum and make sure they sell their shares. Bulls, though, are more likely to see a new 52-week low as the stock hitting its low point and anticipate a bounce in the share price.
However one plays it, it's often a critical moment for any stock and should be noted by investors.
Dicerna Pharmaceuticals saw 94,380 shares of its stock trade hands, that's out of 20.59 million shares outstand. The stock has an average daily volume of 146,367 shares. After hitting a new 52-week low, Dicerna Pharmaceuticals enters the new trading day with a market cap of 160.42 million, a 50-day SMA of $11.94 and a 200-day SMA of $13.79

Mayor Coleen J. Seng today encouraged the public to attend a free ceremony in honor of the 40th anniversary of the March on Washington from 11 a.m. to noon Saturday, August 23 in the rotunda of the State Capitol. Governor Mike Johanns will speak at the event, sponsored by the City of Lincoln and the State of Nebraska. A representative from Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey's office will also speak, and the Newman United Methodist Church choir will perform.
"The March on Washington on August 28, 1963 was America at its best," said Mayor Seng, who will present a proclamation at the event. "It was a momentous day as 250,000 people marched for jobs and freedom. This important date in the civil rights movement must never be forgotten."
Although August 23 has been set as the national day for celebrating the March, another program is planned for Thursday August 28 at the Nebraska Union, 1400 "R" Street. The free public program begins at 11:30 with a video of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivering his famous "I Have a Dream" speech from the march. A panel discussion will follow. More information on the August 28th event is available by calling 472-3755.

LONDON — In a 16-year career that has been interrupted by occasional bouts of illness and injury, Serena Williams has always competed with a ruthless intensity at Grand Slams, mindful that the majors ultimately define greatness in tennis.
That intensity deserted Williams on Saturday at Wimbledon, where the five-time champion and reigning world No. 1 was ousted in the third round by 24th-ranked Alize Cornet of France, who hit with more abandon and held her nerve for a 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory that represented her career highlight.
Not since 2005 had Williams, 32, been ousted so early at Wimbledon. It continued an uncharacteristic pattern, marking the third consecutive major in which Williams failed to reach the quarterfinals, after a second-round loss at the French Open and a fourth-round loss at the Australian Open.
"Right now, I don't really know what I did wrong," Williams said afterward, sounding utterly disconsolate and genuinely lost. "Usually I do. Usually I know I did this, this and that."
Given her inability to reach the final eight of the last three majors, it's an open question whether something is amiss with Williams' game or whether her rivals are closing the gap in terms of the power and competitive fire.
"I think in general everyone plays the match of their lives against me," Williams said. "So I just have to always, every time I step on the court, be a hundred times better. If I'm not, then I'm in trouble."
During the match, Williams' coach could tell something was awry.
"Right now, she doesn't have her usual ability to respond and turn matches around," said Patrick Mouratoglou, who has worked with Williams since 2012. "It was obvious when she trailed 3-0 in the second set. Nothing happened."
Although Cornet had beaten Williams at a hard court tournament in Dubai in February, there was little reason to believe the Frenchwoman posed a threat to the No. 1 seed Saturday. Hardly a natural on grass, Cornet entered the match with a 6-7 record at Wimbledon, compared with Williams' 72-9 mark.
The Dubai victory served as a template for Cornet, who studied videotape of the match to review the tactics that worked (her drop shot, in particular) and remind herself that the upset was possible.
"It might be a bit premature to talk about her decline, but when she plays someone who finds the right tactics, she looks a bit lost on the court," Cornet said of Williams. "In my opinion, there are more and more players understanding how to play her."
Three other past Wimbledon champions — Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova — won on Centre Court.
For his third match in a row, Nadal dropped the first set, this time beating 63rd-ranked Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan 6-7 (4), 6-1, 6-1, 6-1.

Search is powerful…if you think about it, the purchase process for most items above a certain price is advertising for awareness, Google to learn the truth, reviews, etc about the product and the store to purchase it. If positive information – or any information – is not available on the first page of Google your brand is in real trouble.
It is harder and harder these days to make it to the top of Google and other search engine lists organically, partially because blogs are such SEO machines.
I have had some pretty funny search terms that led people to my blog over the past week and had tucked in to type up a (hopefully) amusing post about the disappointment that searchers would have when they were looking for, say, "fat sex" and ended up at the daily (ad) biz blog. Those who searched for "dress code" would be disappointed but presumably less so (unless they were looking for the dress code during fat sex in which case their disappointment surely knows no bounds). The surprisingly large number of people who searched for "greatest pickup lines" need more help than this blog is capable of.
While I was cataloging the funny search terms for this post, I noticed that I was getting a lot of hits for "jenna fischer." Also a lot for "Jenna Fischer naked."
[ There is always room for a Jenna Fischer image. And besides, it's clearly what my readers want.]
Apparently, if you were to Google just about any Jenna Fischer term and decide to, you know, take a closer look at the suggestive picture that pops up in Google then you would be looking at said picture on this humble blog.
The point isn't to brag. Nor is it to find a weak excuse to search for and post a picture of the Official Hot Famous Woman I Would Marry In A Second Even Though I Don't Know Her (OHFWIWMIASETIDKH for short).
Rather, the point of bringing this up is to marvel at the power of a blog to shoot up the Google rankings. And to use that to mention that, you know, maybe ad agencies ought to think about what that might mean for the brands they are building…specifically that they should probably get their act together (Wieden, I'm looking at you) and stop ignoring it because it will only result in an EFFIE and the ECD thinks that EFFIES are for "fucking douchebag accountniks" and he would rather pitch TV so he has a shot at a free week in Cannes.
If this blog can do it without trying very hard, one would think that a brand could do it with a little help from their agency.
Right? Eh? Oh.

By Matthew Heimer
Every year, the producers of the Academy Awards strain to make their telecast more attractive to younger viewers. Case in point: The hiring of Seth MacFarlane, the 39-year-old voice and writing mastermind behind relatively racy millennial favorites like the "Family Guy" television series, as this year's host. But if the odds-makers are right, when the major Oscars are given out on Sunday night, youth will be served only in the best-actress and best-supporting-actress categories, while baby boomer guys will claim most of the other high-profile statuettes.
If the boomers do pull off a Sherman's March to the podium, it'll be thanks to "Lincoln," a movie whose subtitle could be "The Film Directed By, And Starring, Everyone You've Been Watching for the Last 25 Years." Steven Spielberg (nominated for best director), Daniel Day-Lewis (best actor) and Tommy Lee Jones (best supporting actor) are all part of the demographic cadre born between 1946 and 1964—Spielberg and Jones are 66, and Day-Lewis is 55. And each is a heavy favorite, according to bookmakers at the Wynn Las Vegas who specialize in entertainment odds.
Sally Field (best supporting actress), a.k.a. Mary Todd Lincoln, is also a 66-year-old "early boomer," but she's expected to lose to 30-year-old Anne Hathaway ("Les Miserables"). Jones's closest competitor, meanwhile, is fellow boomer Christoph Waltz, who won the Golden Globe for best supporting actor in a drama for his work in "Django Unchained."
As for the other relative youngsters, Jennifer Lawrence of "Silver Linings Playbook" (who's 22), and Jessica Chastain of "Zero Dark Thirty" (who's 35), are going head-to-head for best actress, with Lawrence the slight favorite. None of this year's five best-actress Oscar nominees is a baby boomer. One of them, Quvenzhane Wallis of "Beasts of the Southern Wild," is only 9, for heaven's sake. But the New York Times's Melena Ryzik is theorizing that Emmanuel Riva ("Amour"), who turns 86 on Sunday, might emerge as a dark-horse winner as a sort of Oscar-voter tribute to her work in films of the French New Wave—fifty-plus years ago.
Before the awards season, "Lincoln" was expected to be an even more dominant award-winner. But victories by "Argo" and Gen X-er Ben Affleck at the Golden Globes, the Director's Guild Awards and other lower-profile events have tarnished its aura of inevitability. Indeed, "Argo" is now the bookmakers' favorite for best picture. But Affleck isn't nominated for a best-director Oscar, which should help clear the way for Spielberg. (At least "Argo" depicts something that most baby boomers clearly and painfully remember: The Iranian hostage crisis.)
A win by Day-Lewis, who's 55, would make him the first man ever to win three best-actor Oscars.

It was assumed Ed Reed's Texans debut, now likely to happen Sunday against his former team in Baltimore, would be in a relief role, coming off the bench for certain cover packages. But coach Gary Kubiak said Friday that if Reed's ready to play at all, he'll start at free safety in place of Shiloh Keo.
"We take a look at his body of work throughout the course of the week, watch him move, watch the movements you've got to make to play and then come to a conclusion if he's ready to go," Kubiak said.
Reed took a full load of repetitions during practice this week and there was no indication his surgically repaired hip was hindering him. He declined to speak with the media Friday about Kubiak's saying he would be the starter.
Keo said he hadn't been told that, but it didn't surprise him. However, he admitted, "as a competitor," it disappointed him.
"I know Ed's been taking a lot of reps this week if he's ready to go, he'll probably play," Keo said. "It doesn't surprise me. As a competitor, everyone wants to be on the field. It'll be tough (not starting). I'll leave it at that. A guy of his stature, athletic play, repertoire, it's hard to keep him on the sideline. You can't hate on anybody who wants to put a guy like him out there.
"But I'm going to prepare the same, like I'm the guy. We'll see game day."
Keo said he'll throw himself into his special teams play regardless of the decision made at safety.
"I'm a big special teams player," he said. "That's how I've created my name in this league."

During my years as a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher I created a yummy recipe for lime chicken taco salads that were a big hit with my students. This recipe is inspired by those yummy salads which have been on my mind lately. I love to cook but I have to say that I HATE making lunch. Seems like I just finished making breakfast and I have been planning what to make for dinner and then lunch time arrives and I can't think of a thing to make. My kids would be happy with mac and cheese and chicken nuggets every day but I would feel like the worlds worst mom for feeding them that everyday so I have to throw something else in at least a few times a week. Luckily for me they love quesadillas.
So here is my easy lime chicken and pinto bean quesadilla recipe:
1 can chunk chicken (I use the small can but if you are making lots of these you could use a larger can)
lime juice (1-2 tbsp)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp garlic salt
salt and pepper to taste (but use more pepper than salt)
pinto beans
grated cheese
additional toppings as desired
Start by emptying the can of chicken into a bowl and mixing in the lime juice, red pepper flakes, garlic salt and then salt and pepper and let that marinate for a minute. If you don't want the spice omit the red pepper flakes. If you want more of a lime flavor-add more lime juice.
Then simply assemble. I spread my beans, add on the chicken, cover with cheese, sprinkle on some chopped green onions (those were an after thought so I didn't get them in the picture) and a few dollops of guacamole.
Then fold it in half and place on a hot grill sprayed with cooking spray. Spray the top side of the quesadilla too with cooking spray. When golden brown, flip it over and cook it on the other side.
Remove from heat and cool for just a couple of minutes then slice. Super yummy flavor and it only takes about 5 minutes to prepare. Now that is my kind of lunch.

Amherst, Massachusetts, was a small village in 1891, but it retained a vibrancy beyond its size due to the presence of two noted colleges. On the north side of the village was the Massachusetts Agricultural College, one of the first Morrill Land Grant funded schools, established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1864. In 1947, the Agricultural College became the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. On what was then the southern edge of the village center, just south of the Commons, was Amherst College, the village's first. Amherst College was founded in 1820 and chartered in 1825. The town of Amherst in 1891 was also home to a number of industries, most prominently the straw hat industry, which was producing more than 144,000 hats a year.

The Utah House continues to lead out with a unified strategy over state control of our federal lands. We have been working with consistency in our efforts to build public support and trust for the effort. This year there is a package of bills being brought forward. Utah's enabling Act contains language that is like other states in the East who exercise control over their lands. The economic repercussions of not having control of our lands is significant. Representative Keven Stratton estimates the value of Federal lands within the state at $161 trillion. There is a commitment that we want to be wise stewards. However the return on having state control of federal land is the only solution with large enough potential to provide funding for Utah schools and programs for the long-term.
We need nothing less than an education renaissance in Utah, a modernization that embraces the best of our traditional approach and expedites a break with the outdated ways of the past. Let's engage the tools of today and intersect with the technology that students are using to learn everything in the world right now. Let's ensure that every K-12 student has access — and the understanding — of the technological devices to ensure their success int he economy of tomorrow. This year in the House we are are looking to expand opportunity in education through innovation. We need to make sure the infrastructure is there and make sure that teacher development occurs with it. This will be the most ambitious education modernization yet for the state of Utah.
The decision for the House to launch an investigation on Attorney General John Swallow was some of the most important work that we could do for the State of Utah. We cannot put a price-tag on the public trust for our citizens. The work by the House committee assigned to oversee the investigation was invaluable. It was the House's constitutional responsibility to investigate. They were able to find critical evidence of wrong-doing that is now leading to a number of bills that will stop "dark money" from coming into Utah's election process. We want to be more vigilant in making sure it doesn't happen again. Several members of the House and Senate have proposed legislation to be heard during the 2014 Legislative session aimed at creating substantive changes to improve the system.

An Indiana State Prison lets murderers adopt cats in their cells.
8 comments:
beautiful post and amazing conclusion! keep up the good writing
The 'share' toolbar on the left hand side that stays visible as you keep scrolling down ranks among the most annoying UI tricks I have ever seen.
I came here to read an article yet you seem to think that sharing it is my first concern.
In addition to being of very little use while I'm reading the content of he page it also covers the text in the middle of the left hand side, where I'm most limely to be reading.
You probably should get rid of it and stick it at the end of the article like most other sites.
Interesting article though.
really lovely article, thank you for this piece. i agree with you completely on the importance of opening oneself up to love and how it makes the whole world a better place. really, thank you.
I enjoy the article (except for the stupid hover-bar thing). Very powerful and insightful. Thank you.
So many homeless cats, too many unloved and lonely people doing their time in a cell. Perfect pairing. I wonder how someone could sponsor a cat for an inmate?
Oh boy. I'm a cat person and I felt really emotional reading this article. On one hand I'm thinking of the terrible crimes murderers have committed, especially one on death row, and how terrible the families of the victims must feel. But then on the other hand, I'm thinking about all these cats who would otherwise be homeless and unloved if they weren't being cared for by these inmates.
I think this article won me over though. If it improves inmate behavior, keeps people safe, and gives these kitties homes, I think the greater good wins out here. It was also good to know that they do proper background checks and never allow someone with a history of animal abuse to be in the program. It would be nice to see more places adopt this program. It sounds like a really good thing.
An impressive post, I just gave this to a colleague who is doing a little analysis on this topic. childcare hills area And he is very happy and thanking me for finding it. But all thanks to you for writing in such simple words. Big thumb up for this blog post!
Thanks for sharing such an amazing and interesting news about Cat day Care. I agree with you completely on the importance of opening oneself up to love and how it makes the whole world a better place.

"The Dean of Illustrators"
5 comments:
Leif....Cornwell is the best illustrator bar NONE....remember that huge drawing I have.... wow....ReplyDelete
And that illustration on the blog.. of the camel...I have an original book.....
more Cornwell...more Cornwell
Rene will go nitz too
Great stuff pal!!!!!!!
Thanks Leif: I looking forward to a week of Cornwell! Like so many illustrators of those days: the reproduction of his work pales in comparaison to the original paintings! Just like J C Lyendecker, Cornwell's original paintings suffer a lot at the reproduction stage. And if one is lucky: to see original paintings, like some of us did, one is blown away at the painterly skills of Cornwell! (one should check the Illustration House's auctions in NYC)ReplyDelete
Ahhh...my favorite draftsman!!!ReplyDelete
I have one of the large Mexico travel posters he did hanging in my studio as a reminder to keep pushing my work!
I wouldn't be sad if this lasted two weeks. So many today have so much to learn from this consummate illustrator.
And yes, his originals, especially his Captain Blood stuff is my favorite!
p.s. The first thing I learned with in a matter of minutes glancing at his work, was his strong use of negative space and edges around his subjects. Very defined shapes.
Leif..if you want.... I will try to shoot a pic of the art I have...call or pm meReplyDelete
Love Cornwell , he makes his marks with such authority .ReplyDelete

Oh my gosh, we left Fort Collins for Ann Arbor in 1956 in an old Ford, a 2 year old and a week old baby, no money, no place to stay if we ever got there. And how many more times did we do the same thing, an old car, a U-Haul trailer, a batch of kids, no money. What did we think we were doing? We thought we knew and we figured we could make it. Which we did. Great story but so, so close to home.

There is no place to add a comment about your new picture at the top, so this is it. Mother dearly loved the columbine flowers. Judy has a white one that Mother had in her garden. One of my tiny gardens is devoted to columbines just because they give such delight. I always thought they were a fairy flower. Thanks for the double pleasure of your picture.

MARTIN, Tenn. – The Lipscomb women's tennis team posted strong results this weekend when they competed in the "Rock 'N Roll Tournament" hosted by Tennessee-Martin. The Lady Bisons were led by freshman Deahna Welcher, who went undefeated in both singles and doubles.
"Seeing how our ladies came out today was encouraging coming off last weekend's ITA Regionals," head coach Andrew Harris said. "Deahna and Alyssa have seemed to find some rhythm in doubles which is great to see towards the end of the fall.
"Overall, I think the weekend was good. We're definitely getting a little more consistency on the doubles side and singles is coming along as well. "
Welcher and sophomore partner Alyssa Bellini posted two doubles wins for the weekend, taking down Southeast Missouri State's Elizabeth Nyenwe and Nikole Novikoa 8-5 before going on to defeat UT Martin's Anna Winkelmann and Katie McCall 9-7.
Welcher led the way in singles, recording three wins, including one 6-0, 6-0 shutout against North Alabama's Ashley Alfonso. Welcher also defeated UNA's Melissa Martin 6-3, 6-4. Her third win came against UT Martin's Anna Marie Herbold in a 6-4, 6-3 victory.
Freshman Jenny Borck also went undefeated in singles play, recording two wins for the Lady Bisons.
Borck handily defeated Southeast Missouri's Jess Courtnell with a solid score of 6-2, 6-2 before going on to take down Nyenwe in a three-set tie-breaker, pulling out a 6-3, 5-7, 10-7 victory.
Borck and senior Sam Bowman went 2-3 in their doubles matches, only losing to UNA's Mackenzie Bishop and Teresa Franco 8-0. The duo took down UT Martin's Winkelmann and partner Alice Laing 9-7 and Jessica Silva and Herbold 8-2.
Bowman fell in both of her singles matches, losing to SEMO's Martin and Courtnell, 6-1, 6-3 and 6-1, 6-1 respectively.
Bellini also fell in all three of her singles matches. Bellini was defeated by UT Martin's Ivon Simic 6-4, 6-4, UNA's Victoria Rees 6-3, 6-1 and SEMO's Nikole Novikova 6-0, 7-5.
The women will take this week to prepare for their final fall tournament this coming weekend at Vanderbilt.

Customer Reviews
Helpful resource for banking professionals struggling with Economic Capital
Great selection of articles
The first part "Concepts and applications" is well written and the sequence of articles is presented in a logical fashion.
The second part "EC for specific risks" gives you a good flavor of what people are doing (and how they are doing it) on the different risk types. The articles are good and not too technical, although I wish there were more examples.
The third part "EC Methodologies" is very technical, and recommended to experts on the matter.
