text: If you read my other post, you know I expressed an interest in publishing patterns for my designs. I gotta pass a few "road blocks" before that happens (the legal stuff, getting them made out first, etc.) But I got to thinking about it and I realized something......I don't really know what all goes into a published pattern. I know the actual pattern and step-by-step instructions to make it, but what else would be nessicary (or good to have)? I don't know. I've never bought a pattern before. Any suggestions?

With so much interest being focused on homemade food, it seems only natural that curiosity will eventually lead outgoing folks beyond the normal canning and cooking and start looking at ways of making their own versions of those grocery store items we always seem to have around.
In The Homemade Pantry, author Alana Chernila brings us into her admittedly "unexpected" kitchen to share her takes on popular pantry staples. After offering some tool recommendations (air popper, blender, dehydrator, food processor, stand mixer) Chernila tackles the subject of whether or not making all these items at home is actually financially feasible, a subject that often arises when comparing homemade to store bought foods. Her take on it not only concerns cost, but taste, time and thrill as well. She cleverly leaves the decision to the reader since quantifying whether something is "worth it" has more to do with personal taste than the number on your grocery receipt.
Then we move on to a section on making good use of your freezer. Why make enough lasagna for one meal when you can easily make two and store on in the freezer for a later date, saving you time down the road? Vegetables and snacks can also be frozen to extend their shelf life, helping you save that massive amount of green beans you bought on sale a little bit longer.
Once the basics have been covered, we head to the various grocery store aisles on a quest for healthier alternatives to the often preservative laden treats and staples we purchase on a regular basis. A lot of these things would seem like no-brainers to those of us who spend a lot of time in the kitchen: Soups, salad dressing, spice mixes. While others, like the homemade toaster pastries (recipe below), potato chip or fig bar recipes give more experienced cooks something to appreciate as well.
The recipes are easy to follow and well written, and cover a plethora of food types including, soups, cereals, snacks, baking needs, condiments and more. If you've ever thought about making your own ketchup and mustard, you can find out how here. While I never would have taken the time to make my own hot sauce, the recipe offered here makes a nice alternative to the stuff you get in bottles. It also allows you spice it to the perfect amount of hotness for your personal taste.
The chapter on dairy will also be illuminating for a lot of people. Some cheeses, such as cream cheese, mozarella and ricotta may not seem like easy home projects, but with the help of a yoghurt maker, they are somewhat of a breeze. Surprisingly, most of the time involved in cheese making is waiting for the curds to form. Little gems of information like this is where The Homemade Pantry really shines.
In addition to those, you'll also find ways to make your own granola and instant oatmeal, and even frozen treats like chicken nuggets, fish sticks and ice cream. There are chapters devoted to canning (jams, sauerkraut, pickles, tomatoes) and baking (bread, tortillas, crackers) as well.
Overall, this is a solid book, though perhaps not ideal for someone short on time. To keep up with a lot of these things regularly would require a herculean strength and a lot of time and money. However, many of the recipes are fairly quick to throw together. I'm a big advocate of making your own condiments, especially ketchup and mustard as they are easy to make quickly and last for a while. After reading the hot sauce recipe, another fairly fast prep, I'll definitely be adding it to my list of make-at-home staples.
If you are an experienced home cook or big proponent of homemade foods, The Homemade Pantry will probably not reveal any great epiphanies. However, it would make a great gift for those friends you're trying to bring over to your way of "natural" food thinking or just a good reference book for your own shelf. It is also highly recommended for anyone preparing to dive head first into taking control over the foods they eat in a proactive way.

I always loved reading Southern Living at my best friend's house. We'd talk over the lovely ideas and discuss recipes over a hot cup of coffee. One year, after she had moved far away, she sent a subscription to me as a gift, and I was truly "hooked". Now, I send it to my daughters, as they have homes and families of their own. I will always cherish the special moments with my friend as well as appreciate the special touches Southern Living has given our home and family.
I have been receiving Southern Living, un-interrupted since 1966. It was then called Progressive Farmer with an insert of recipes, patterns, canning tips etc.
I have been giving this magazine to my daughters for several years and since the death of my youngest daughter have been sending her subscription to my grand daughter. I can't wait to sit down with a cup of coffee and start reading. Thank you for a wonderful magazine.
I have been getting Southern Living for years, and it never fails to deliver the best that the South has to offer! I recently gave my daughter a subscription for her birthday, and it is now our favorite subject to bond over! We love sitting down once a month and talking about our favorite recipes, gardening tips, and decorating ideas from that month's issue. Keep up the good work Southern Living!

The Philadelphia Eagles have released DeSean Jackson, the team announced on Friday.
It's a shocker.
The team had been searching for a trade partner for the last few weeks, but were apparently unable to find one.
"After careful consideration this offseason, Eagles decide to part ways with DeSean Jackson. The team informed him of his release today," the team said.
The announcement came shortly after Eliot Shorr-Parks and AJ Perez of NJ.com published a story about Jackson's alleged connections to the Los Angeles-based Crips street gang.
From NJ.com:
"A bad attitude, an inconsistent work ethic, missed meetings and a lack of chemistry with head coach Chip Kelly are the reasons, sources told NJ.com. And when the Eagles looked more deeply into why Jackson was missing meetings, they found that his friends were becoming a more powerful -- and negative -- influence in his life."
Jackson denied the report in a statement, calling the allegations "unfounded and misleading:"
"First I would like to thank the Eagles organization, the Eagles fans and the city of Philadelphia for my time in Philly. I would also like to thank coach Andy Reed for bringing me in. Secondly, I would like to address the misleading and unfounded reports that my release has anything to do with any affiliation that has been speculated surrounding the company I keep off of the field. I would like to make it very clear that I am not and never have been part of any gang. I am not a gang member and to speculate and assume that I am involved in such activity off the field is reckless and irresponsible. I work very hard on and off the field and I am a good person with good values. I am proud of the accomplishments that I have made both on and off the field. I have worked tirelessly to give back to my community and have a positive impact on those in need. It is unfortunate that I now have to defend myself and my intentions. These reports are irresponsible and just not true . I look forward to working hard for my new team. God Bless."
Gregg Rosenthal of NFL Network says the move had less to do with off-field stuff than money. It was reported after the season that Jackson was unhappy with his contract.
He's now free to sign with another team.
Jackson was a key part of an Eagles offense that flourished under Chip Kelly in 2013. He had 82 catches for 1,300 yards and nine touchdowns.

Wine Blogs and the Rose Parade
I'm seriously suffering from a nasty case of Holiday Hangover. I am so glad that the Holidays are over, the relentless thrum of Christmas and the false cheer of New Year's Eve. I'm starting to think Dick Clark is the perfect host for a New Year's Eve party. Aside from the fact that he gives new meaning to the phrase "stroke of midnight," that partial paralysis is exactly what I feel after all the celebrations, insipid Top Ten lists and obituary recaps. Just the thought of doing HoseMaster of Wine for another 12 months makes me nauseous, like I've just digested another post at Dr. Vino without proper sedation. Much of the discomfort I'm feeling is just post-Holiday melancholy. I wonder why I bother to continue writing my corrosive and largely ignored blog. What is it that drives me to sit down in front of a blank computer screen and try to come up with something halfway original several times a week? Why don't I just give in and be like most bloggers? Recycle winery press announcements like a brainless tool, review wines no one cares about in the least except the marketing cannibals that sent the free samples, spend most of my time commenting on other blogs in the vain hope that their readers will check out my blog and find out how fascinating and insightful my borrowed opinions are? (Give it up Nectarwine, your comments, like your blog, leave one yearning for less.) Why write original material when there's a world of pre-fab wine ideas to pretend are my own? Pride? Nah. You can't be the HoseMaster and have any kind of pride.
There is a constant drumbeat of criticism of California wines that goes, "California wines are too sweet and fruity while European wines are just right, and better with food." I won't debate that here. But my opinion is that if anything is too sweet, too sickeningly cloying, too much like saccharine, it's the vast majority of wine blogs. Ugh, they're sweeter than an episode of "Barney," and less articulate. I wonder if French wine blogs are as noticeably sweet, so incredibly simple. Perhaps I don't have an American wine blog palate, but taking in seven or eight of these blogs every day is certain to leave you in a diabetic coma that would make Aretha Franklin jealous. The complaint against sugar is that it leaves your senses dull, deadens the palate. Well, suck on a dozen wine blogs and try not to end up like Ariel Sharon. You might as well treat your senses to endless repeats of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show"--you know Ellen, right, the flat-chested Mike Douglas? Wine blogs are filled with sweetness, way past the threshold of human endurance. Reading wine blogs is like watching the goddam Rose Parade--a succession of giant, lavishly decorated, self-important, artificially sweet, slow-moving creations that vanish from your memory the minute they turn onto Colorado Boulevard. Luckily.
Is it that new wine bloggers, eager to be read, be successful, emulate the most successful wine blogs and that's why most of them are about as entertaining as celery? Try this some time, read them aloud, see if they sound interesting then, or if they don't sound more like infomercials for stuff that is but days away from being landfill. Really, try this. Do it in your best voice, try it with a comic edge, hitting the punch lines with emphasis, selling the verbiage in your most professional reading voice. They are woefully dull, as if you're attending a reading of Henry James in Esperanto. Drives me nuts. And then a new blog appears and it's the same thing, only now it's Henry James in Navajo.
And, of course, now it's all about video podcasts, a la Gary Vaynerchuk. I don't know Gary Vaynerchuk, I've only viewed one or two of his podcasts, but the guy has singlehandedly put a stink on the whole wine business with his idiotic behavior, rudeness, insipid wine descriptions and all-star tribute to Mammon. But he's successful! Like Howard Stern and the guys who make Jackass movies! So let's give him awards, Wine Enthusiast! Glorify this kind of behavior! Why, it's bringing the masses to wine, educating them so that they can go out and know how to behave when it comes to tasting wine! And, hell, maybe if we hitch our minor league magazine to his star we can grab some of his audience! Dignity apparently died with Robert Mondavi.
But at least Gary has some presence, albeit obnoxious, on camera. All the newer wine video blogs, well, let's just say most of them validate why the United States doesn't allow prison executions to be televised. Watching people taste wine and then extemporize about it is about as interesting as listening to someone do a crossword puzzle. "Oh, what's a four letter word for what my opinion's worth? Starts with an 'S' and ends with a 'T.'" I do love the cheap sets however. Always makes me feel like I'm right there with them in the motel where they're hiding from the personality police.
Well, like I said, I guess the Holidays put me in a bad mood. Sorry. Forget what I just said. It's the morphine talking.

I love the amount of bile you just spit out. Spiteful!

My Gorgeous Samantha,
Well, I think I sound better as Sylvester, but I'll go with your choice. "Sufferin' Succotash"
I adore you!
Hey Jeff,
That was just the surface bile. I've got bile reserves that would make Charlie Sheen's liver jealous.
Actually, I was trying to be nice.

"Oh the weather outside is spiteful, but the bile is so delightful..."
I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from.

El Jefe,
Very nice! Even got a laugh from the ol' HoseMaster!
I was thinking
"Bile, though your heart is aching/Bile, even though it's breaking/When there are jerks writing blogs/Hump your dogs..."
Yours was better.

Hey K. Baby,
Yup, I've often been told I'm several Brix short of a Lodi.

I have nothing witty to say, I'm just sitting here at my desk, laughing out loud. LOL.

Good grief! And they call me an opinionated grouch.
Ron, where do you cop your bile? I need a new pusher.
We should comment on each other's blog; that way, we will each gain a reader, and I'll rack up as many as ten.

Vaynerchuk is legit. Millionaire at 32, traveling the world, living his passion. Brilliant businessman too. Watch his Omaha keynote on garyvaynerchuk.com You might have more in common with him than you think. Two podcasts out of 750+ isn't quite fair, is it Mr. Hosemaster? All the best, Andrew
- January 8, 2010 at 1:22 PM
- Ron Washam said...
Hey Thomas,
I just might do that, though I suspect your blog doesn't really need a grouch.
I decided many months ago that the whole blog world takes potshots at Parker and Wine Spectator and the like, why shouldn't the "top" bloggers take a little heat? It's only satire. Gary V doesn't know I'm alive, doesn't care, is laughing all the way to the bank. But I still think his brand of wine "expertise" puts a stink on the rest of us.
My advice to everyone--don't take anything I say seriously. I know I don't.
- January 8, 2010 at 4:50 PM
- Charlie Olken said...
<< My advice to everyone--don't take anything I say seriously. I know I don't. >>
Good satire is very serious business. If not, it is not satire.
Now, I am not opposed generally to slapstick, but the HM ain't doing slapstick. He is doing satire. And I hope I don't get a pie in the face for saying so.
- January 9, 2010 at 12:36 PM
- Ron Washam, HMW said...
Puff Daddy,
Satire is indeed serious business, which is why I avoid it. I always think of satire as more polished, perhaps more clever, certainly more insightful about the human spirit, or lack thereof, than my little untidy corner of the Internet--I think Swift and Twain and Perelman and Alfred E. Neuman. I'm just a joke writer. And few comedy writers are fed as much fodder as one who writes about wine blogs. Every day is fodder's day.
- January 9, 2010 at 4:08 PM
- Charlie Olken said...
You are too modest. What you do here combines many forms of the comic spirit, and it certainly contains brilliant satire at times.
The fact that it picks on folks in sarcastic ways does not make your writing into joke-telling plonk. But, if you insist on being modest, humble, introverted, afraid of your own shadow, well, so be it.
The rest of us will still be here laughing.

'Argo' making quite an impression
According to Rotten Tomatoes, the critics and fans both agree that "Argo" is an excellent film. Ben Affleck is pretty proud of the film, as he should be. It's also very timely with Iran being in the news so much.

I tried several times to apologize to Lisa Winfrey, who only chucked each time and said don't worry about it.
Although I've heard the high school dance team mentioned a time or two in passing and we've had an occasional bit of information about it in the paper, I felt horrible that I was so ignorant of the team's accomplishments, including consecutive national titles.
As I typically do on Mondays, I was tossing story ideas around the office (aka bothering everyone), trying to gauge staff, and by proxy, reader reaction to what's going on around town.

Blue Cheese, Tomato and Steak Sandwich
I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for the perfect lunch. For me, it's always a tight balance between not going overboard (no one wants to fall asleep after too big a lunch) but still finding that perfect satisfying boost of energy for the afternoon to come. As all good Parisians, I have a special soft spot for baguette. You may see it in movies (with the added beret and the red wine bottle) but it doesn't make it any less true. The french need their espresso and their baguette to even begin to think that's it's a decent food day. The only problem with baguettes is that they don't last very long. The best is to eat it the day it was made. You might be able to get a second day out of it, but the first is really the better option. However, the good news is that the bread freezes amazingly well. Cut the baguette into smaller sections, tightly wrap in aluminum foil and freeze. The day you want fresh tasting bread, let the baguette come back to room temperature in the oven and you're good to go.
This sandwich could very well be my new favorite lunch. It's simple, lighter than your regular steak sandwich (no mayo) and absolutely delicious.
Blue Cheese, Tomato and Steak Sandwich
Recipe (for 2)
1/2 baguette
1 clove of garlic
1 medium-sized steak
6 yellow cherry tomatoes
1 small handful of baby arugula
1/4 cup of crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoon of grainy mustard
Salt and Pepper
Olive Oil
Cut the baguette in half and cut again lengthwise. Drizzle with olive oil and set on the grill for a few minutes, until just crisp. Remove from the heat and rub each side with the peeled garlic clove. Reserve.
Bring the steak to room temperature, pat dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Set on a grill on medium high heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the steak is just medium rare. Set to rest to let the juices in the meat redistribute. Once the meat has rested (about 10 minutes), slice the meat on the bias.
Cut the tomatoes into thin slices. Spread the mustard on each sides of the baguette. Add the slices of steak to the bottom side of each piece of bread. Top with the crumbled blue cheese, a few slices of tomato, some arugula and press with the top slice of bread to close. Enjoy!

Gigabyte has been on a win streak as of late. Their latest 965 chipset boards are great performers and overclock to no end, bringing the tried and true Intel chipset to the performance level that enthusiasts are looking for. They even decided to fine tune an already great performing board with the release of the 965P-DQ6 v 3.3 that we reviewed here at Legit a couple weeks ago. So where does a company go once they tweak every ounce of performance possible from a chipset? Why, a new chipset of course! Today, Legit wants to introduce to you the Gigabyte P35-DS3R motherboard, which sports the new Intel P35 chipset. Will this board be a worthy board to replace the legendary 965 boards by Gigabyte? We will see as we take a closer look! First off,let's look at the specs of the board…
Ok, with all the specs in mind, let's take a closer look at the new motherboard.

March 2, 2012: Radio Boredcast Presents: Indian Raga
Throughout the month, Radio Boredcast is making selections of themed music that fit the As Slow As Possible subject, either in an obvious or more ethereal way. What I like about the raga is it is a series of notes arranged and rearranged in very methodical ways, reflective of the time of day, the season, and so on... very much in tune with the theme of Slowness in that it reflects time and repetition.

While wins are critical as the Revs look to get back into the playoff race, they're also concerned with restoring their reputation following a difficult loss to RSL
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – With more than half of the 2010 MLS regular-season schedule still to be played, it's far too early to rule any of the league's 16 teams out of postseason contention. Despite the team's recent struggles, that most definitely includes the New England Revolution, a club looking to earn a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs for the ninth straight year.
Entering this weekend's round of games, the Revs (3-9-2, 11 pts.) are level with the Philadelphia Union, D.C. United and Chivas USA for the fewest points in the league, but all four clubs remain just eight points behind Toronto FC (5-4-4, 19 pts.) and the San Jose Earthquakes (5-4-4, 19 pts.) for the final postseason spot. Granted, it will take an impressive turnaround and a notable second-half run for the Revs to seriously contend, but with 48 points still there for the taking in the remaining 16 league games, it's far from an impossible task.
However, there's something even more important than points at stake on Saturday night when the Revolution welcomes the league-leading LA Galaxy to Gillette Stadium.
"We're determined," said Chris Tierney. "We're fed up with results not going our way, so I think there was a little extra bite in training [this week]."
After suffering a humbling 5-0 loss to Real Salt Lake last Friday night, the Revs have won just once in their last 11 regular-season matches since starting the season by winning two of their first three. While the players were already eager to prove themselves entering Rio Tinto Stadium last weekend, the heavy defeat to the defending champions was perhaps the straw which broke the camel's back.
"When you get embarrassed like that – and there's no doubt about it, we got embarrassed out there – you want to come back the next game and make a statement," said rookie defender Seth Sinovic. "What better game to make a statement than against the top team in the league right now?"
The Revolution will indeed have a chance to make a statement against the league's most dominant team, the LA Galaxy, on Saturday night in Foxborough. Led by U.S. National Team star Landon Donovan (who leads the league with 10 assists) and his Nats counterpart Edson Buddle (who leads the league with 10 goals), the Galaxy (11-1-3, 36 pts.) has been nothing short of stellar in the first half of the season. Even though it's possible Donovan will remain in Los Angeles this weekend in order to rest after his World Cup performance, the Galaxy is still undoubtedly one of the league's best.
Considering the discrepancy in points between the Revs and Galaxy, combined with the fact that many experts already consider LA the clear favorite to hoist the MLS Cup in November, the challenges New England face this weekend are clear.
However, with their pride dented, the Revs are looking for some instant credibility. At this point, a victory over the seemingly untouchable Galaxy is perhaps the only way to make those around the league open their eyes with just one result.
"It's huge," said Sinovic of the opportunity the Revs have this weekend. "Nobody's expecting us to get a win out of this game. It's definitely going to be a morale boost and show that we've got some pride left if we can get a victory this weekend."
Darrius Barnes – who will be available to play against the Galaxy for the first time since injuring his right foot and ankle in early May – agreed with Sinovic's assessment, but went a step further to analyze the effect Saturday night's game could have moving forward with the rest of the season.
"After getting beat like we did in Salt Lake, to come back and play the best team in the league – the team everybody on paper is giving the championship already – I feel like it can be a turning point in our season," said Barnes.
However, the second-year defender was quick to warn that the Revolution's fortunes won't change without the requisite exertion being put forth.
"It's going to be hard work," Barnes said. "We can't just think it's going to flip on like a light switch and our ship is going to turn around. We have to take it one game at a time, take it one point at a time and just slowly chip away at it. Who better to get some momentum from than the best team in the league right now?"

Hubble Monitors Evolution of Dust Plume Following Deep Impact's Collision with Comet
This series of Hubble Space Telescope images captures the ejection of a bright plume of dust following the July 4 collision between an 820-pound projectile released by the Deep Impact spacecraft and comet 9P/Tempel 1. The image sequence dramatically shows the evolution of material that was blasted off the comet as it expands and diffuses into interplanetary space.
This sequence of images shows the fan-shaped ejecta expanding at 450 miles an hour (720 kilometers an hour) over a 24-hour period following impact. The upper-left image shows the comet several minutes before impact. The encounter occurred at 1:52 a.m. EDT July 4.
The middle, top image shows that just 12 minutes after the collision, the innermost coma of dust appears 10 times brighter than in the pre-impact photo. The impact caused a brilliant flash of light and a constant increase in the brightness of the inner cloud of dust.
The Hubble telescope continued to monitor the comet, snapping another image [upper right] an hour after the encounter. In this photo, the dust ejected during the impact is expanding outward in the shape of a fan. The debris extends about 450 miles (720 kilometers) from the nucleus. This expansion continues through the bottom series of photos. In the bottom, center photo, the cloud is 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) across. The last picture in the sequence shows the cloud becoming more diffuse.
The potato-shaped comet is about 8 miles (13 kilometers) long and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) wide. Tempel 1's nucleus is too small for the Hubble telescope to resolve. Instead, the bright central region is a combination of light reflected from the nucleus and from dust in the immediate region around the nucleus.
The visible-light images were taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys' High Resolution Camera.

The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has issued a finding of no competitive interest in an area offshore Maine where Statoil North America has requested a commercial wind energy lease.
The decision clears the way under BOEM's non-competitive leasing process for Statoil to submit a plan for a pilot project to demonstrate floating wind turbine technology.
The proposed lease area covers approximately 22 square miles, located about 12 nautical miles offshore Maine. It would be the site of a 12 MW pilot project consisting of four offshore wind turbines.
The proposed Hywind Maine project would be the first to use floating offshore wind turbine technology in the U.S. The company has a prototype of a similar turbine in Norway that has been in operation since 2009. Statoil's Hywind Maine project is among the seven offshore wind projects that received funding from the U.S. Department of Energy last week.
In October 2011, Statoil NA submitted to BOEM an unsolicited application for a commercial wind energy lease in federal waters offshore Maine. As an initial step in the leasing process, on Aug. 10, 2012, BOEM issued a request for interest (RFI) to determine whether there were other developers interested in constructing wind energy facilities in the same area proposed by Statoil.
The RFI also solicited public comment on site conditions and multiple uses within the proposed lease area that would be relevant to evaluating the project and its potential impacts. The public comment period under the RFI closed on Oct. 9. BOEM received 11 responses to the RFI, none of which expressed a competitive interest in the area proposed by Statoil North America.
Concurrent with the RFI, BOEM also issued a notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement that requested comments from the public for the purpose of identifying important issues to be considered.

Rachel Zoe Shockingly Announces She Is 9 Months Pregnant: See Tiny Bump
When Rachel says 'literally,' it doesn't necessarily mean literally, but this time it's true! The celebrity stylist said that she is 'literally nine months pregnant,' and we couldn't have been more shocked! She barely has any hint of a baby bump!
Rachel Zoe is expecting her second child with her husband Rodger Bermann very soon! So soon, in fact, that Rachel revealed on Nov. 9 that she will not be stepping out until it's time to deliver her baby! It's shocking to learn she is full term, because she's still so tiny!
Rachel Zoe 9 Months Pregnant: Stylist Is Full Term With Tiny Baby Bump
Rachel is really enjoying her second pregnancy — and it's quickly coming down to the last moments before her second son arrives! "It's wonderful. It's great," Rachel told Us Weekly of how her pregnancy is going. "I mean, I'm literally 9 months pregnant so this I think will probably be one of my last outings," Rachel said of attending the Baby2Baby Gala in Culver City, Calif. on Nov. 9.
So what will Rachel be doing with her final weeks of pregnancy? "I'm going into hibernation!" she exclaimed.
Even though Rachel admitted that she will be staying in for the remainder of her pregnancy, she revealed that she actually is considering what she will wear when she goes to the hospital! "I am actually trying to plan that," she told Us Weekly. "I really am actually! You try to stay as chic as long as you can."
Rachel Zoe Reveals She's Doing 'Nothing' To Lose Weight After Baby
Rachel is unconcerned about losing the baby weight — most likely because it doesn't appear that she actually gained any.
[hl_youtube src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBD9j2VGiUw" link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBD9j2VGiUw" text="Rachel Zoe Brings Skyler To His First Fashion Show"]
Rachel said she will be doing "nothing" out of the ordinary to lose weight after the baby arrives. "Chase a toddler and be a mother," she told Us Weekly. "Any new mother will tell you don't have to exercise, you just have to be a mom. Being a mom is the best exercise!"
What do YOU think, HollyMoms? Are you shocked that Rachel is already in her ninth month?

Feedback on some recipes
A lot of times I will add a recipe to the library before I've made it. I just wanted to let you all know how a couple of them have turned out. Blue Eyed Blonde is a blueberry pale ale that to date is one of my favorites. I only used 4 of the 5 oz. of the blueberry flavoring though. Also, "Let the good times roll" has turned out better than I imagined. Its under the experimental section, but it drinks like a belgian strong ale. To the ingerdient list I added 2 cups of corn sugar for brewing and one for priming. At close to 8% its a good sippin beer. Have a great day, and enjoy some homebrew!!!

In a large stock pot add the water and enough kosher salt until it tastes like saltwater. Bring the water to a simmer and remove from heat.
While waiting for water to boil, the mozzarella curd needs to be shaved with a sharp knife into thin layers and set aside in a large bowl.
When water is ready, ladle over the shaved curd, just enough to cover. Allow curd to warm before you begin forming your mozzarella. Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture until the curd begins to pull (you should have a string like effect). Work quickly with the curd to achieve a consistent silken texture. Hold the cheese in the bowl with wooden spoon and pour off excess water. Take the cheese in your hands and begin to fold under itself creating a round shape of desired size. Pinch between your thumb and index finger, place fresh mozzarella in a bowl of cool water, continue this process until all the fresh mozzarella is formed.

So now I get to enter the existential crevasse that is post-doctoral career crisis. I know what I don't want to do, but I have no idea what I actually want to do.. at least my nails are pretty!
Here's BYS Glitter Blue, a pretty silver glitter in a pale blue base that's more refined and elegant than anything else I've seen from BYS. I received it from a lovely fellow Aussie nail addict in a Christmas in July swap. It's sheer, so I layered it over Duri Summer in the City.
I was expecting it to be a thermal polish (the blue sticker on the lid usually indicates that a BYS is a colour change polish) but unfortunately I think they just made a mistake. Boo! It's still very pretty though.

PORTLAND — A local property manager has agreed to pay a $15,000 civil penalty to resolve allegations that he harassed female tenants by making unwanted sexual advances and offering to reduce their rents in exchange for sex, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
A civil complaint filed Monday in federal court in Portland outlined the complaints against Rudy Ferrante, which took place in apartments he managed in 2008 and 2009, according to a press release issued Monday.
"The harassment included but was not limited to: making unwelcome sexual advances and unwelcome sexual comments to female tenants; soliciting sexual favors in exchange for a reduction or waiver of rent; making sexual advances once female tenants default on their rent; exposing (his) genitals to female tenants and making sexual gestures," the complaint said.
The court document also said that Ferrante sent repeated and unwelcome sexual text messages, appeared at female tenants' homes late at night to solicit sex, failed to respond to complaints about sexual harassment, and evicted or moved female tenants when they objected to his sexual advances or sexual conduct.
The consent order, which is subject to the approval of U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Torresen, also orders Ferrante to commit no more acts of discrimination, requires him to undergo fair housing training and requires that he provide a copy of the order to his employees and any property owner for whom he manages units.
A date for a hearing before Torresen on the consent order has not been set.
"The women involved in this case were subjected to intimidating and severe acts of sexual harassment in their homes, where they have a right to feel safe," Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, said in the press release. "This order sends the message that the Civil Rights Division does not tolerate such conduct and will enforce the right to equal access to housing when it learns of violations of the Fair Housing Act."
The Justice Department began investigating Ferrante after the Portland office of Pine Tree Legal Assistance notified the department of sexual harassment complaints about Ferrante.
The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability and familial status.
Individuals who believe that they may have been victims of housing discrimination should call the Justice Department's Housing Discrimination Tip Line at 800-896-7743, email email@example.com or contact the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development at 800-669-9777.

Mayor Don Wesely today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for May to the Lincoln Police Department (LPD) team of Sergeant Brian Jackson and Officer Scott Alexander. The monthly award recognizes city employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the city. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Jackson and Alexander, who serve for the LPD Southwest Team, were nominated in the category of loss prevention by Sergeant Mike Bassett of the LPD Northeast Team.
Following the initiation of the new State of Nebraska Investigator's Motor Vehicle Accident Report in January 2002, LPD officers quickly realized that the existing, pre-drawn diagrams of high accident intersections would not transfer onto the new report. Not only would it take more time to simply complete the increased complexity of the report, but each intersection would have to be diagramed for each accident worked, thus leading to more downtime and possible overtime per accident, per officer. With 11,487 accidents worked in the City of Lincoln in 2001 and an estimated one hour at the scene and one hour to complete the accident report itself, any savings or reduction of time spent working the accidents would be greatly needed.
"Officer Scott Alexander and Brian Jackson of the Southwest Team displayed outstanding teamwork and initiative in embracing the solution to this problem by coordinating the measuring and diagraming of more than 150 intersections in the city," wrote Sergeant Bassett in his nomination. "Both Officer Alexander and Sergeant Jackson possess high computer skills and were able to utilize, at no cost, software which allowed them to create extremely refined accident diagrams. These diagrams were then made to fit the new accident report and were laser printed onto them."
Sergeant Jackson and Officer Alexander spent unpaid off-duty time refining this process and utilized their own personal computers to accomplish this project. The pre-drawn accident reports were then labeled and filed for quick access by fellow officers. The result is a highly refined and professional accident report that would allow the police department enormous time savings. These accident reports are viewed and utilized by Federal, State and local-related agencies, insurance agencies, administrators and citizens.
"The conservative time savings of 10,000 accidents where the diagrams would be used, at a savings of one-half hour per accident worked, equates to 5,000 hours of labor saved," said Mayor Wesely. "To take this further, at a duty rate per officer of $25.00 per hour, this would be a conservative cost-savings estimate of $125,000 to the City of Lincoln and the Lincoln Police Department."
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are customer relations, safety and valor. All city employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected officials and some managers. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public.
Nomination forms are available from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program. All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

Post subject: Earthquest Theme Park - Houston, TX
I live just north of Houston and the following is in reference a resort/theme park that's been in planning for about 5 years now. I'm excited about it because it looks like a great concept, if it ever gets built, and it is less than 20 miles away from where I live...
General Information -
The resort had a website with concept art and information, but it appears to be offline right now -
The Resort Concept and design is being done by Contour Entertainment who has some of the concept art on their site under "In The Works" -

Earth Quest developers set groundbreaking for early 2012
Posted: Wednesday, June 22, 2011 12:16 am
Earth Quest developers set groundbreaking for early 2012 By Howard Roden Houston Community Newspapers
The developer of the proposed Earth Quest project in east Montgomery County has established another deadline for start-up of the 550-acre mixed-use project.
Christopher Brown, president of California-based Contour Entertainment, the projects master planner and lead designer, met with the East Montgomery County Improvement District board members June 16.
Before Brown and the board went into executive session to discuss the project, EMCID President Frank McCrady asked Brown if groundbreaking within nine months was a reasonable expectation.
That is our plan, said Brown.
Estimated at a cost of $500 million, Earth Quest is to include a retail shopping experience, a water park, a hotel and a family entertainment center located on 1,600 acres along U.S. 59 between FM 1485 and Texas 242 on the west side, and FM 1485 and Roman Forest Boulevard on the east.
At the heart of the concept is a 150-acre dinosaur theme park and museum. They were scheduled to open sometime this year or in 2012.
Brown said the dinosaur project remains central to the developments project.
Were not going to put another carnival on the ground, McCrady said after the EMCID meeting. Nothing significant has changed.
Announcing a date for groundbreaking is nothing new for the Earth Quest project. Construction was to start sometime in 2010, but a need for investors and the economy affected the timetable.
At least one of the investors involved is an independent investment banking group based in Texas, Brown said.
Its better to shop for money and generate better returns, McCrady said. They (the developers) have been waiting for the economy to come around. The Texas market has started to stabilize.
2012 budget: EMCID board members authorized a balanced budget of $5.752 million for the 2012 fiscal year that begins July 1, 2011 and ends June 30, 2012. The budget includes a record $5.1 million in sales tax revenue.
Among the budget items approved include $698,000 for Emergency Services District No. 6, $533,000 for ESD No. 7 and $100,000 for ESD No. 11. EMCID set aside $250,000 for community development grants and $600,000 for its scholarship program.
EMCID budgeted $190,000 for Earth Quest, $70,000 less for the project in the 2011 fiscal year.
Pay bonus: EMCID President/CEO Frank McCrady was voted a $50,000 bonus for the 2012 fiscal year at the June 16 board meeting. He receives a base salary $97,515.
Connie Bloodworth was the lone board member to vote against McCradys bonus.
It was just my personal reasons, Bloodworth said.

Interesting idea. From the concept art, it looks a bit like a cross between a thrill park, a water park and Epcot... although the descriptions on the website seem a bit vague when considering how fleshed-out the concept art appears to be. It can be hard to get funding for these kinds of projects, but if they able to, it looks like it could be a world-class attraction/resort...

So, you have an email list…now what?Tim Falls
We recently received a request for guidance from a friend of the company. In hindsight, it was clear that the specific situation related to this request and the resulting conversation would be valuable content for others, so we've decided to share the discussion here on our blog. The following is taken directly from the email thread between SendGrid and the marketer who desperately wanted to abide by CAN-SPAM laws while also maximizing their potential return on investment.
Marketer in need:
"I am in real need of e-mail help. We recently sponsored an online event and received 6,000 contacts from it. Am I breaking CAN-SPAM laws if I e-mail them? We use [insert big email marketing company here] and they won't let us e-mail them. Can I e-mail them from SendGrid? Sorry, e-mail marketing is a mystery to me, and I was hoping you could help. I'd hate to lose all of these contacts."
SendGrid email expert:
"I've seen this scenario raised on spam discussion boards and it is, in my opinion, a grey area that probably demands looking at additional factors:
1. In what role was your sponsorship? In other words how many degrees of freedom were you removed from the email address owner:
1a. If you paid the sponsorship fee for the event and were simply presented a list of attendees, I'd say you shouldn't email them – primarily because the email address owner, by attending the event, shouldn't suffer collateral damage by having every single sponsor email them with potentially unwanted bulk email. In this case the email address owner is explicitly interested in the event, but not necessarily its sponsors. And then begs the question – did all 6k email addresses actually attend the event or just signed up and didn't attend for one reason or another.
1b. If you held a "Win an iPad by dropping your business card in a hat" or similar promotion during the event, then it's probably ok to email them. Dropping the biz card in the hat is the action that constitutes explicit permission to contact via email. What would be even better is if there were an opt-in disclaimer on said hat, but the main takeaway here is that the email address owner can make a decision whether or not to opt-in to the company by producing or withholding their card. Certainly when I proffer my business card, I expect to receive email (whether I want it or not) at which time I can make the decision to unsubscribe.
2. How relevant is your product or service to the list of email addresses? I imagine this might be easy to answer since you'd expect sponsors and event attendees to share a common interest, yet still worth considering.
2a. The next question (but not an issue here) is how long ago did you acquire the addresses. Many email marketers don't consider the temporal aspect of opt-in. Just because someone opted in 3 years ago to your product or service doesn't mean they still want to hear from you or that your product is still of interest/relevant to them.
3. Golden Rule – If you attended this event, or any other event you may personally attend in the future, would you personally expect or want to hear from this sponsor? Suppose you ran the Boston Marathon, would you want to hear from each and every sponsor that happens to have paid a sponsorship fee, regardless of the amount?
4. Once you answer this list of questions, you can consider CAN-SPAM which most legitimate companies easily comply with because in my non-legal opinion CAN-SPAM attempts to do two things: 1. Eliminate deception 2. Provide easy identification of the sender and ways to unsubscribe.
One final note – if [insert big marketing email company] won't let you email them, you probably shouldn't. They have a very good abuse/compliance department and deal with this sort of thing all the time. I would be interested to hear your responses on the above."
There was one more exchange included, but that content is less relevant for our purposes here. However, the following commentary from our in-house expert sheds some additional light on deliverability as it pertains to this conversation…
"A lot of the problem with deliverability boils down to defining what is/isn't acceptable. A lot of what is/isn't acceptable falls in grey areas that are often open to interpretation, and depending on what side of the deliverability fence you're on the interpretation is often contradictory. Also, anything that isn't well defined like this is often subject to "creative reasoning" to justify sending for a given situation. As a result of these grey areas, deliverability folks end up doing a lot of educating their customer base because this sort of thing really isn't obvious and many people with good intentions end up getting tripped up by the various nuances."
We hope this post is helpful to our users and readers of the blog. If you've run into the same or similar issues, please share your thoughts in the comments below. This is a great chance for sharing and collaborating around common problems.

Shopify makes it easy to switch from Vend POS
Shopify's POS system works PERFECTLY with my online store. It's basically plug and play. I just fired up the app and was ready to start making sales. I love that every sale I make in person syncs with my online store!

Simplicity and ease-of-use were the only things I was looking for in a POS app. I run a (very) small business, so I didn't need overly-complicated features, expensive hardware or time-consuming setup to get in the way of making sales. Shopify POS is as plug and play as they get. You can do almost anything with a little digging, but the basics are front and centre.

This post has been updated. See below for details.
When Steven Bernstein's Sexmob last rolled through town, the Iraq war hadn't started and the Knitting Factory was one of the most promising rooms in Hollywood.
Times, to say the least, have changed, but Sexmob endures on the back of Bernstein's recognizable slide trumpet and reliably rollicking aesthetic. For years, the group has been one of the can't-miss party bands of the downtown New York City jazz scene.
The band comes to the Mint tonight in advance of the release of the forthcoming "Cinema, Circus and Spaghetti (Sexmob Plays Fellini: The Music of Nino Rota)." The dip into film music isn't the first for the group, which also features seasoned veterans Briggan Krauss, Tony Scherr and Kenny Wollesen, who have been heard on a variety of jazz recordings by Bill Frisell, Jenny Scheinman and John Zorn. Bernstein has been just as active in memorable recordings with Levon Helm, his own Millennial Territory Orchestra and the New Orleans-exploring project Wicked Knee.
The record is far from the first time that Sexmob has paid tribute to other composers. The band's previous release, 2007's "Sexotica," earned a Grammy nomination for its warped takes on Martin Denny, and in 2001, "Sex Mob Does Bond" put the group's tightly wound mania into songs inspired by the music of John Barry.
"Jazz used to be popular music," Bernstein said in an oft-repeated quote that to this day sums up the group's aesthetic, which you can explore further in a live video from 2007 below. "People would go out to clubs, listen to the music, dance, drink, have a hell of a lot of fun, and then go home and get laid. Simple as that. We're bringing that spirit back."
Sexmob at the Mint, 6010 W. Pico Blvd., L.A. 10 p.m. Tuesday. $10. www.themintla.com.
Updated, 5:05 p.m. Two years ago bandleader Steven Bernstein changed the spelling of the group's name to Sexmob.

When I pick up a kite to launch I always walk it towards the correct position to assist the kiter. Then I stop moving and let him fine tune the angle and give the thumbs up. I don't want to stand there upwind with the kite flapping around and trying to pull out of my hands when I could just walk a few feet downwind. So while I basically agree that the kiter does the moving, I see no reason why the launcher can't help a little bit. Especially on a crowded weekend when it can be hard not to sweep the lines across a kite or two.
The things I am more concerned about during launch are people who throw the kite, let go before the thumbs up, or don't lift the kite completely off the ground. I've had every one of those things happen several times.

1949 Jeep CJ2A Willys Overland - Atomic IconPosted in Features on March 1, 2002
Rugged, durable, and unstoppable-words that describe an American classic. Both Willys Overland Motor Company and Ford Motor Company manufactured what was to become a four-wheel-drive icon-the jeep. Between 1941 and 1945, for a mere $738.74, the U.S. government was able to purchase roughly a half million jeeps. When WWII was nearly over, Willys Overland retooled and began marketing a civilian version of the military's "jeep that won the war," and between 1945 and 1949 the company made the CJ2A.
Aside from owning a part of the Jeep character, Jed Colledge wanted to explore the great outdoors. His '48 buildup is a story not unlike the classic 11/44-ton itself. Practically built from the frame, his CJ2A is modified to favor rockcrawling more than anything else. That means that the components Jed selected, like twin Ford 9-inch axles, a well-laid-out/well-functioning drivetrain, and a spring-over with Wrangler leaf springs, make for one heck of a good time.
Jed Colledge: Proud owner of a '48 Willys Overland CJ2A.Envy: We want it.Enjoy the outdoors: The purpose for which it was built.Perfect tools: What's better than a backstage pass at a Metallica concert? An all access pass to your dad's machine shop. Think tube bender, grinder, and all sorts of amusing metalwork gear.
Custom six-point rollcage built by Colledge Machine of Lindon, Utah, and painted DuPont red to match the rest of the rig.Jeep: The American icon.2 years: That's the time it took Jed to build the 11/44-ton.Air tank and compressor built into the rollcage make for convenient, compact air and tool access.

Revs goalkeeper will miss at least the next six MLS matches; team signs GK Tim Murray
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution has placed goalkeeper Matt Reis on the team's disabled list because of his on-going rehabilitation from offseason surgeries on his left shoulder and left knee. Reis, 35, will miss a minimum of six league matches. With Reis on the disabled list, the Revolution has earned roster space relief, with which the team has signed goalkeeper Tim Murray.
Reis had surgery on his left shoulder to repair labrum and rotator cuff damage on Dec. 1, 2009. His anticipated rehabilitation period was approximately six months. He later had a quadriceps tendon debridement procedure performed on his left knee on Feb. 4, 2010, which had an expected rehabilitation period of 8-12 weeks.
Murray, 22, was signed after training with the Revs since early March. The Haverhill, Mass., product played four seasons at Providence College (2006-09), finishing his career with a 1.01 goals against average in 60 starts. He also posted 27 shutouts while making 201 saves. Murray also played his high school soccer at St. John's Prep (Danvers).
The Revolution (2-3-0, 6 pts.) returns to action on Saturday, May 1, when the team hosts FC Dallas at 7:30 p.m. at Gillette Stadium. Comcast SportsNet will televise the game live, while 98.5 The Sports Hub will have the call of the game on the radio.

The target audience runs the continuum from very unsophisticated to very sophisticated (in terms of technology).
Use is intended to be for both online and print applications.
B2B audience (not consumer).
The logo should convey that we are THE marketplace for both buyers and sellers (B2B) in the formal/bridalwear (Bridal Dresses and Accessories/Tuxedo) industry.
