For instance Maki has a way to destroy sybil that does not include mass amounts of people dieing all it does is force them to trade and he is the bad guy,even if he is bad killing him aka murdering some one is the solution not jail question no trial cold blooded murder that's not right at all, And even tho sibyls worse lets protect sybil and kill maki why are we rooting for the protagonist at this point they are all self fish pricks now,Tho thats how anyone would handle this situation if any of are friends was killed by some one the last thing on our mind would be justice, Akane will most likely side with sybil cause the whole order is important B.S. sorry akane is everything sybil wants to be a cold calculated machine in the disguise of a human whos main and only focus is to maintain order. To many of the little dialogues they have shown of her showed her way of thinking is inhumane she has not yet once questioned sybil. By the end of this series once we learn how she thinks fully I guarantee it will make maki look like a saint.
Also I just remembered exactly how to deal with some one like maki even if they are more skilled than you. Its quite easy to get people like maki mad to bad kogami doesn't know this. I remember batman beyond fight with joker all he did was threw his game off a little by talking trashsince joker was the better fighter, words hurt these kinda people easily when you say the right things. Act like you got them all figured out,Make fun of them for not fighting in and they get mad and make mistakes.Or ignore em either works.

Sybil is not order. Sybil is only PRETENDING to be order. And Akane saw that when the gun override happened.
Akane is not "lawful stupid". She doesn't follow orders, she follow the law. And conveniently, since Sybil did not tell the truth about what it actually is, it is not protected by the legal system. That which don't legally exist, don't have legal rights.
Akane follows order. REAL order. Not following authority blindly.
Hence, her stun shot last episode. Had she been as obedient as you claimed, she would have done nothing.
If it comes time for Akane to judge Sybil, she would find it wanting.

Akane's already gone on record stating that maintaining public order is a high priority task up there with enforcing justice. She will compromise if she finds it necessary. The system as it is has two faults:
a) it acts out of whack in 0.01% of cases
b) its true nature is different from what the citizens are told
Other than that, it works perfectly fine, keeping the whole country afloat in very difficult times. If there's any way to fix a and b without blowing everything up, Akane will try. If she deems that impossible, she'll have to consider whether the two points warrant risking a civil war, outside invasion, anarchy and whatever else would come with a violent (and publicly known) overthrow of the system. That's indirectly causing the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

Oh, very interesting! So Sybil has decided to tell Akane what's going on. Now, this could lead to her ending up breaking the system, but otherwise, really, it's a great decision. Akane's got good judgement and a calm head on her shoulders. Worst case scenario would be that they want her to join Sybil, but I don't think they will right now, because they're in dire need of capable Inspectors to use as pawns. But, what will she think of the system...? I can't imagine her liking it, but she does very much want to maintain public order, as Cytrus and others have said.
Some of Akane's angst about Kogami does confuse me a bit, though. She wants to prevent Kogami from "becoming a real killer, not just a latent criminal" no matter what...but Akane, the guy's already killed loads of people! It's just that he did that as part of the police and on government business, Sybil sanctioned. It's far too late to stop him from becoming a killer. And on the information Akane had at the time, knowing that there was a serial murderer (Makishima) whom the system could not or would not judge, who would likely murder again...Really, the choice of Kougami to try to kill him is sensible, although it does mean he's setting himself up to be killed by Sybil.
This was a good ep. Highlights were the photo of Masaoka and Gino, Akane and Shion's conversation, and Sybil's apparent plan to enlist Akane. Akane wondering about whether she's cold-hearted and Shion offering her support was excellent. Gino was interesting in this ep, too.
I thought the scene with Kougami and his mentor, particularly when Kougami pictured an imaginary Makishima taking part in the conversation, was very well executed, but I think it lacked something...probably because I don't find Makishima or the Kougami-Makishima parallels they were going on about very interesting.
Very interesting that Sybil had decided Japan didn't need intellectuals, as that has happened before in human history. They hyper-oats thing makes a lot of sense for Psycho-Pass Japanese society, too. It's no surprise at all that that Japan is so isolated, as that would be necessary for Sybil's control.

1) People are treated like criminals even if they've committed no crimes.
2) There's no judiciary system. If you happen to have a bad Psycho-Pass reading one day, you go directly to jail or get killed. You don't get to speak out in your own defense in any meaningful way. You don't get your day in court. Should you go to jail, you're very likely to be there for the rest of your life (heavily implied during the Yayoi flashback episode).
3) The average human lifespan is declining in the world of Psycho-Pass, and this is due to the numbing effect of the Sibyl system. This was brought up during the Oryo arc.
4) Censorship, also brought up during the Oryo arc. The works of Oryo's father were banned. Then there's "authorized music", which should make anybody who values the arts simply cringe.
5) Much of the above would at least be theoretically defensible if Sybil really was purely mechanical based. At least then it really would be objective. But no, Sybil is a collective of 250 brains making life and death decisions for every citizen in the world of Psycho-Pass. And a good case can be made that these brains are probably a bunch of sociopaths or psychopaths. It shouldn't be necessary to explain the serious dangers inherent in a setup like this.
The Sybil system is a totalitarian oligarchy who's net effect on the Japanese people is quite possibly to their detriment. A strong case can be made that the Japan of Psycho-Pass would be better off being like the Japan of today.
If Akane tears down Sibyl, and replaces it with a proper judiciary system, is that really something you would take issue with? Personally, I would cheer it. Loudly.

And as these last few episodes have been illustrating...for all the tyranny that the Sybil system provides, it just DOESN'T provide that much security. Sure it can keep up a facade of orderliness...under ideal circumstances. But it's shown to be utterly inept at dealing with any real opposition.
The only way I can imagine Pscyho-Pass Japan managing to survive on the international scale is trying to maintain a low profile, and people not realizing how fragile it is. Cause even the most trivial acts of terrorism/sabotage could bring this country to its knees.
Think of all the Chaos that Makishima and Choe caused with the helmet riots. Imagine what could have been done with a team of cyborg commandos DESIGNED for infiltration? A cyborg face could be designed that with a kit, you could noticeably change facial features enough to fool facial recognition. A foreign state intelligence agency could have designed Choe's helmet components, and miniaturized them to be built into a cyborg body. And just for extra kicks, give them suitcases filled with military grade 22nd century weapons.
With how Sybil has been presented, this would literally be a neigh unstoppable existential threat. It's not merely "This would be a tragedy". It's literally, "a dozen cyborg commandos could destroy this entire country".
One thing is kinda amusing about this episode though...Kougami and his Sensei discuss that how if Japans entire hyper oat crop got destroyed, they'd have to break down their barriers...and be flooded by foreign refugees?
Japan. I know you think you're an awesome country. But you're NOT so awesome that people will wanna move there when you literally have no food.

If he leans more towards a lighter end, by his standards, then I think this is how Psycho-Pass ends: Akane somehow takes over the Sibyl system. In other words, she won't kill the 250 brains, but she will take control from them. She'll becoming something of a Queen, and make those brains her advisers, basically.
Akane will then slowly, but surely, reintroduce a judiciary system to Japan.

Ginoza having hue issues.
Kogami doing his own thing since the escape.
Still hunting Makishima without success.
Looks like Akane could be similar to Makishima.
Nothing effects her psycho-pass color.
Things are getting complicated.

Yeah, some people will complain about something being dialogue heavy, but really if the dialogue is intelligent and interesting I'd rather have that than it being all wham bam thank you ma'am.
There was a show a few years back called "Mouryou no Hako" which had several episodes where the main characters sat around a table talking mythology, and that was absolutely fascinating, so yeah, there's nothing wrong with lots of dialogue when it's interesting and relevant to the story!

Sibyl, despite its flaws, is kind of a cornerstone for the P-P world's society. Removing it will break more than it mends.
For the ending, either the above happens, or the Sibyl system remains but something will be different. For example, Sibyl itself could change to be more progressive, like try to find a way to combat the lethal apathy that's plaguing the nation, maybe introduce a little freedom here and there (bit by bit, can't do it all at once or society will break), while retaining the psycho-pass scanner. Say what you will, the psycho-pass is a very nifty thing.
For another option, the Sibyl system could remain without anything changing at all. That would be of course a downer ending, quite opposite the downer ending I mention at the top of this post.

Very good episode!
Didn't Kougami seem more cheerful than usual in this episode? I found him very at ease with the professor (and even with the gun). Like he finally felt free for the first time in a long time.
Anyway I'm really curious to know which truth Sybil system will tell to Akane. Since it's a risky gamble telling her that. So I'm expecting that the sybil system will let her weigh up some truth (not the whole) about what the sybil system is, with what Japan was before Sybil system took over and what's now about the world outside Japan without a Sybil system at work. Like saying they were forced to do this to save the country.
It would be a nice expedient to let us know more about global situation and the sybil system itself and at the same time will try to force Akane making compromise with her morals. Even convincing her for a while. Why not.
Otherwise I can't think of any other smart reason the author Sybil system would reveal the truth/part of it to her.

How is forcing sybil to trade get reveals and over thrown by society cause mass murder and war, Thats like if North Korea leader was put in a situation that forced him to communicate with the outside world and would lead to that country's entire government being over thrown nothing but good can come from that.

Akane is one of the kindest members of the cast, and one who has been shown to think for herself. If she's a machine and inhuman, who knows what depths of uber-machinery and inhumanity the rest of the cast has descended to!

Acpo issues 'drunk tanks' call to tackle disorder
Privately-run "drunk tanks" should be considered to tackle alcohol-fuelled disorder, police chiefs have said.
Under the idea, drunks who are a danger to themselves would be put in cells to sober up and then pay for their care.
The Association of Chief Police Officers, which is launching a campaign on alcohol harm to coincide with university freshers' season, said problem drinking was on the increase.
The Police Federation said the plan was "neither a viable nor long-term" fix.
Northamptonshire Chief Constable Adrian Lee, who leads on the issue of problem drinking for Acpo in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, told the BBC that police cells were not the best places for people who had got so drunk they were "incapable of looking after themselves".
Nor should the taxpayer have to pick up the bill for people's drunkenness, he said.
"Why don't we take them to a drunk cell owned by a commercial company and get the commercial company to look after them during the night until they are sober?
"When that is over, we will issue them with a fixed penalty and the company will be able to charge them for their care, which would be at quite significant cost and that might be a significant deterrent."
'Sticking plaster'
Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Grove also recently raised the idea of introducing drunk tanks.
"Public services are a finite resource and we need to appreciate that," he said in an interview with the trade journal Police Professional.
An Acpo spokeswoman said the measure would only apply to those drunks who were a danger to themselves - those who had committed a crime would be taken to a police cell, while those who were ill would be taken to hospital.
She said the police could not walk away from a drunk who was unable to stand as they had a duty of care but it was not the best use of police resources. As there is currently no formal proposal, Acpo did not have any details on cost or implementation.
Steve White, vice-chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, which represents officers, said he would favour "any measure that frees up police officer time and gets them back on to the streets".
But he said: "This proposal throws up far more questions than answers, particularly with regards to accountability.
"Privately-operated drunk tanks are neither a viable nor long-term solution to binge drinking and merely represent a sticking plaster for the problem."
The phrase drunk tank is an export from the US, where they are already in operation. Chuck Rose runs the Santa Barbara Sobering Center in California, which is paid for by the city council.
He said the centre's work helped the police "immensely".
"If they bring somebody and check them into our establishment, they are with us about five minutes and we take it from there," he said.
"If they have to take someone to jail, it's an hour-and-a-half of paperwork. They [the police] are back on the street, where they can do the most good."
Nearly 50% of all violent crime is alcohol-related, Acpo said, while offenders are thought to be under the influence of alcohol in nearly half of all incidents of domestic abuse, and alcohol plays a part in 25% to 33% of known child abuse cases.
Ch Insp Sue Robinson, deputy chairwoman of Acpo's alcohol harm reduction group, said: "When we should be working in local communities tackling priorities set for us, we are more than likely to be addressing drunkenness and alcohol-related crime and disorder."
'Small aspect'
The In Focus: Alcohol Harm campaign launched by Mr Lee, which will include drink-drive operations, visits to disorder "hotspots" and talks to new university students, is intended to highlight the difficulties police face in dealing with drunk people.
Mr Lee said he was disappointed no licensing authorities had imposed charges for late-opening alcohol suppliers to help pay for policing the night-time economy, and by the government's failure to bring in a minimum price for a unit of alcohol in England and Wales.
The plans were shelved in July amid fears the change would hit responsible drinkers.
Crime Prevention Minister Jeremy Browne said: "The government is taking a wide range of action to tackle alcohol-related crime and disorder. This includes introducing a ban on the worst cases of very cheap and harmful alcohol sales.
"We have given local areas the power to restrict the sale of alcohol in the early hours and ensure those who profit from a late night licence help pay towards the costs of policing."
Labour's shadow crime and security minister Diana Johnson urged caution over potential private sector involvement, in the wake of the government's discovery that two of the biggest private providers of public services - Serco and G4S - had overcharged it by tens of millions of pounds for criminal-tagging contracts.
She also said the idea of drunk tanks "could and should only be one small aspect of any proper alcohol strategy".
"The government's alcohol policy is out of touch and in disarray - dropping their minimum alcohol pricing policy, rejecting drugs and alcohol education in schools, and going ahead with an ineffective late night levy," she added.

Research & Publications
Research Summary
Dr. Nuermberger's primary research interest is the experimental chemotherapy of TB. The work uses well-validated murine models of active TB and latent TB infection to evaluate the efficacy of promising new antimicrobials. A major goal is to identify new agents that can be combined with existing drugs to shorten the duration of TB therapy or allow more intermittent drug administration.
He is also working with an innovative flow-controlled in vitro pharmacodynamic system to gain a better understanding of the pharmacodynamics of drug efficacy and selection of drug-resistant mutants during exposure to currently used agents.
His secondary interest is the experimental chemotherapy of pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia in humans. The work uses a novel low-dose aerosol infection model that produces an isolated pneumonia in mice. This model may be particularly useful for evaluating the efficacy of antimicrobials that concentrate in the lung parenchyma relative to serum.

The Republicans have a message contradiction problem in the aftermath of the Supreme Court health care decision. They always knew that they had one with Mitt Romney on the top of ticket; Obamacare is modeled after Romneycare. In any other slice of the historical timeline, Romney would be bragging that people in Massachusetts LIKE their health care system, as you can see by this nonpartisan, independent poll.
So while the rest of Republican World jumped on the fact that the Supreme Court called the payment for uninsured folks who are able but unwilling to pay for health insurance "a tax," on Monday Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom said, no, it wasn't a tax. It was a "penalty." As in Romney agrees with Obama.
Anyways, here's Fehrnstrom's not-a-tax moment. That "thwack" you hear in the background is conservative Republicans slapping their foreheads.
Before we get all breathless over this, a few points:
1. The "tax" is expected to affect 1 percent of Americans.
2. The idea of an individual mandate is an idea that started in the conservative Heritage Foundation…..Mitt Romney told us that last fall.
3. Romney has even said as recently in a 2009 USA Today op-ed piece that he supported a "tax penalty." As Mitt wrote, presumably not under gunpoint: "First, we established incentives for those who were uninsured to buy insurance. Using tax penalties, as we did, or tax credits, as others have proposed, encourages "free riders" to take responsibility for themselves rather than pass their medical costs on to others."
Coincidentally, the National Republican Congressional Committee — the folks charged with preserving the GOP majority in the House — just launched a national campaign riffing off the health care law. In California, it targets Democratic incumbent Reps. Jerry McNerney, Lois Capps and John Garamendi, who all fervently support it.
Aside from being the first TV political ad we've seen that features no sound — only texting (What is this, "The Artist"?) it contains a major Lie, Half-Truth and Contradiction, which we pointed out Sunday. In the ad, one of the lines is "Here come the Medicare cuts."
No, the health care law DOES NOT CUT Medicare. It cuts the rate of increase in it over a decade. See our LHC box here.
Here's the NRCC ad:
Update by Rick Dunham (4:50 p.m.):
Mitt Romney today told CBS News that he disavowed Eric Fehrnstrom's comments and believes that the penalty provisions contained in ObamaCare are indeed a tax. The Obama campaign quickly released this response video with Romney explaining the penalty provisions in RomneyCare.
Here's how CBS put it:
Two days after his top adviser insisted otherwise, Mitt Romney on Wednesday told CBS News chief political correspondent Jan Crawford that President Obama's individual mandate – upheld last week by the Supreme Court – is "a tax."
"The Supreme Court has spoken, and while I agreed with the dissent, that's taken over by the fact that the majority of the court said it's a tax, and therefore it is a tax. They have spoken. There's no way around that," the presumptive GOP presidential nominee told Crawford in an exclusive interview, referring to the court's 5-4 ruling that largely upheld the president's signature health care law, with the individual mandate as a tax…
Pressed by Crawford on whether he had flip-flopped on calling the mandate a tax, Romney turned the table, arguing that the president is the one who's gone back on his word.
"You can try and say you wish [the court] had decided a different way, but they didn't," Romney said. "They concluded it was a tax; that's what it is. And the American people know that President Obama has broken the pledge he made. He said he wouldn't raise taxes on middle-income Americans, and not only did he raise the $500 billion that was already in the bill, it's now clear that his mandate, as described by the Supreme Court, is a tax."
Watch the CBS video here.
And here's the Obama campaign's response:

People often think of affluence, luxury, and the grand apartments and mansions lining the streets when they think of the Upper East Side. In many ways, this reputation has contributed to the Upper East Side's slower pace of living compared to Midtown and Lower Manhattan.
Many historically significant families had homes in the Upper East Side, including the Kennedys, Roosevelts, Rockefellers, and Carnegies. The boundaries of the neighborhood are defined by 59th Street, Central Park, 96th Street, and the East River.
The Upper East Side is composed of three smaller neighborhoods: Lenox Hill covering the area between 59th Street and 77th Street, Carnegie Hill tucked between upper Third Avenue and Central Park, and Yorkville occupying the northeast corner.
Upper East Side Office Space | Lease Data & Trends
Commercial real estate rents in the Upper East Side fall right at the New York City average of $72 per square foot. Newer office spaces tend to be located on the east side of Third Avenue, while historic Class A and Class B buildings constructed in the 1920s are more common along Park Avenue and Fifth and Madison Avenues. Office suites and entire floors compose a significant portion of the available office space in the Upper East Side.
What Our Brokers Say About Upper East Side Office Space
With the United Nations less than a 30-minute commute away from a majority of the Upper East Side, diplomatic missions and consulates often occupy the former mansions of the neighborhood, including those of Austria, France, Greece, Italy, India, and Pakistan. Companies with global and international connections might find that office space in the Upper East Side fits their needs.
Businesses in the medical sector will also be in good company in the Upper East Side. The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Weill Cornell Hospital, and Gracie Square Hospital are just a few of the medical institutions in the area. The campuses of a variety of medical schools as well as Hunter College, Rockefeller University, and Fordham University are also located in the Upper East Side, attracting students and recent graduates to the area who form a skilled talent pool.
The sophistication and elegance of the Upper East Side draw many construction companies, architects, and interior designers who find inspiration in the abundance of art, nature, and classic NYC vibes of the neighborhood.
Companies with office space in the Upper East Side include Annie and Company Needlepoint, California Closets, French Bull, dineen architecture + design, as well as the New York offices of National Geographic.
Getting Around the Upper East Side
Commuting to and from the Upper East Side has become much more convenient following the completion of the Second Avenue Subway. The Q train now runs from 72nd Street up to 96th Street and diverts congestion from the notoriously dysfunctional 4, 5, and 6 lines. Suburban commuters can connect to the Lexington Avenue line at Grand Central Station. Nearly a dozen bus routes running uptown and downtown serve the area, as well as five crosstown buses.
WalkScore rates the Upper East Side with walking and transit scores of 99. Central Park and the East River Esplanade provide pedestrians and bikers with scenic trails to take to work or unwind from the day. CitiBike continues to expand its Upper East Side stations, and bike lanes are located on First Avenue and Second Avenue.
Nearby neighborhoods include: Midtown, Midtown East, Plaza District, Park Avenue, the Upper West Side, and Harlem.
Upper East Side Neighborhood & History
Affluence has been a defining trait of the Upper East Side for so long that the neighborhood was once known as the Silk Stocking District. Wealthy families enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle with immediate access to both Central Park and the retail shops along Fifth Avenue. While pockets of affordable housing can be found closer to the East River, the Upper East Side has some of the most expensive housing in Manhattan and the rest of the United States.
One of the Upper East Side's defining features is the section of Fifth Avenue between 82nd Street and 105th street known as "Museum Mile." A favorite family and tourist destination, nine museums are located on this stretch of Fifth Avenue including the Guggenheim Museum, the Frick Collection, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Jewish Museum.
The museums also offer excellent restaurants that are ideal for business lunches, such as Russ & Daughters at The Jewish Musem and Flora Bar at the Met. Our team also enjoys eating out at Blake Lane, Petaluma, Café Beach, Pastrami Queen, and Via Quadronno.

A charity softball tournament Saturday raised $510 after expenses for Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society.
Mike Calhoun, Travis Schafers, Kelley Schafers, and Clayton Garnica organized the tournament. Earlier this year, Calhoun collected donations door-to-door, raising about $1,400 for cancer research. The softball tournament put him within $100 of his $2,000 goal.
The four-team tournament began with a round robin. In the first round, Ampride defeated Law Dawgs 12-4, and Midway Motors defeated Out on a Limb 13-6.
Out on a Limb defeated Law Dawgs 15-7, and Midway Motors defeated Ampride 13-5 in the second round. Midway Motors defeated Law Dawgs 21-3, and Out on a Limb defeated Ampride 16-10 in the third round.
Law Dawgs defeated Ampride 15-13 in the consolation game. Midway Motors defeated Out on a Limb 27-12 in the championship game. The consolation and championship games were played with "duck soup" rules, with a new rule every inning.
Scott Steward and Tracy Rudolph were volunteer umpires. Kelley Schafers said the group hopes to make the tournament an annual event.

just a disclaimer, updating has kind of slowed down this season. I've been ignoring posting new pages in favour of colouring older pages.
please bear with me, as colouring a page takes longer than creating the lineart. Expect the update schedule to return to its previous format in the Fall.

Creamy Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
With Thanksgiving approaching fast, I thought it was time I shared my potato recipe. This is my own recipe for mashed potatoes and I love it! It's creamy and tasty. If you've never roasted garlic before, there's no better time than now to try it. It is so simple and it makes these potatoes incredible! Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Creamy Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
1 bulb garlic (about 12 cloves)
2 ½ lbs russet potatoes
½ Cup whole milk
4 oz softened cream cheese
1 Cup sour cream
½ stick butter
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place bulb of garlic with skins on, wrap lightly in tin foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove from foil and let cool for 15 minutes. Remove garlic from skins, place in a bowl and mash with a fork until completely mashed. Set aside.
2. Peel and cube potatoes and boil for 15-18 minutes or until fork tender. Drain and transfer to a stand or electric mixer. Mix potatoes on low until combined. Add milk, cream cheese, sour cream, butter, salt, pepper and mashed roasted garlic. Top with a pad of butter or your favorite gravy. Enjoy!

Delicious Jen!! Thanks again for another successful FHE night!
That was fun, your family is the cutest! Tell Ethan sorry again that Mason popped him!
Are roasted garlic mashed potatoes the world's most perfect food? I think so.
I could eat a whole bowl full of them.
I have to agree with you, they are heaven sent!
When do you add the cream cheese?
Hi Chera,
Thanks for catching that. I left it out of the instructions. Add it in after the milk along with the rest of the ingredients.
I'll go edit the recipe correctly! Enjoy the potatoes.
Hi I happened to see your site through a friend of a friend of a friend…gotta love the internet. I've seen you on the food network challenges-I am such a foodie nerd and your recipies look great! Did you get the most recent Barefoot Contessa cookbook? She is my favorite and everything I have mad turns out so well. Will keep checking your site…Thanks, Sara
Hi Sara,
Glad you found my blog. It's easy to blog surf these days!
Barefoot Contessa is one of my all-time favorites. She is so talented and her food is practical and delicious! I need to get her latest cookbook still.
Hope you enjoy the recipes!
My sister introduced me to your site and I made your mashed potatoes for our Christmas dinner. Everyone was very impressed and raved about them! I just came back to your site and can't wait to try the broccoli/chicken crock pot meal and the almond crusted chicken recipes you posted. YUM! I LOVE food and totally appreciate all the yummy recipes you post. Thanks for the inspiration!
Welcome to my blog. Glad you are enjoying the recipes. Thanks so much for sharing.
Ha Ha… I am the sister that introduced "mindy" to your blog that commented above. I have to credit my introduction to my cousins Myr and Cami DeWitt. THANK YOU!
I wouldn't call myself a "cook" in the loosest meaning of the word and actually dreaded making dinner because I had very few things that I could make well. My husband kept mentioning that we needed to broaden our menu. So I would try something out of my 10 cookbooks and it would either be mediocre or disgusting (yes, I've thrown away complete meals before… I know, wasteful). But now that I've found you, "Chef Jenny," I'm excited to try new things and love to hear my husband say dinner tastes great. In fact most days that I'm trying something new, he asks me if it's a Chef Jenny Recipe because 95% of the time it is 🙂
These mashed potatoes were my first adventure with "Chef Jenny" – we made them for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a few other times too. D*E*L*I*C*I*O*U*S!!! I LOVE the Spicy Artichoke Chicken w/ Broccoli meal! I've also enjoyed the Stuffed Shells, Creamy Chicken Italiano, Gingersnaps, Chicken Enchilada Soup, etc. And can't wait to keep trying your latest and greatest creations. (BYW, on the Stuffed Shells is it supposed to bake in the oven at 350? I didn't see a temperature…)
I know this post is long, but I want to thank you thank you thank you for the changes that you've made in me even if we've never met. I appreciate the opportunity that having dinner as a family provides for good communication and am grateful that now I can add good eating as a plus to having dinner together too! Anyway, thanks again. HOORAY for CHEF JENNY! 🙂
I want to try this recipe for Thanksgiving but which one is better for Thanksgiving? Buttermilk Mashed potatoes or Garlic mashed potatoes ?
Which one is better for Thanksgiving? Buttermilk or Garlic Mashed potatoes? thankS!
Ooooh. Starch. Creamy. Yum. Love this recipe!!
Mmm, creamy mashed potatoes are a must on our Thanksgiving table! Looks delicious!
Mmm I love mashed potatoes! Looks like a fab recipe!
The Irish in me would love a heaping bowl of these mashed potatoes!

Hydrocam specific hydraulic bolt tensioners
SKF offers tailor-made design of the various tensioner components, in compliance with your application requirements. The operating principle remains the same, however new functions can be added thanks to SKF expertise:
- The general shape, size and number of components can vary as needed, to fit the accessibility, size restrictions and handling constraints.
- The choice of the materials and heat treatments is adapted to meet the mechanical and weight specifications of an application. SKF tensioners can also be manufactured in lighter materials such as titanium.
- The tensioner environment can require the use of specific hydraulic fluids. HYDROCAM tensioners can be designed to work with all types of hydraulic connectors.
- Turning down operations can be motorized and fully automated. In cases requiring high accuracy, SKF can supply sensor washers or devices to measure bolt elongation.
- For improved tightening uniformity over several bolts, we recommend either total (preferably) or partial simultaneous tightening.
Special tensioners
- Stainless steel tensioner: works with water, compact, no pollution of the assembly, environmentally friendly
- Monolithic 8‑tensioner ring: simultaneous, homogenous tightening, quick, simple use
- Titanium tensioner: works with water, ultra-light, easy handling, designed to be handled by a diver in an underwater environment
- Compact tensioner: tightens hard-to-reach bolts, controls turning-down operations
- Micro tensioner: compact, tightens very small bolts (M5), highly accurate (a few microns of screw elongation)
Let us know your needs – we will meet them!

Joined by The Adjutant General of the RI National Guard Major General McBride, Roberts Announces Important Dates and Corporate Sponsors
PROVIDENCE—Lt. Governor Elizabeth Roberts launched Operation Holiday Cheer 2012 today, accompanied by Major General Kevin McBride, corporate and community sponsors and 2011 care package recipient Master Sergeant Joseph Jenkins at the National Guard Armory on Airport Road in Warwick. The initiative relies on sponsors and the general public for donations of wish list items to fill 350 care packages, and donations to ship the packages to troops overseas at the holidays.
"Operation Holiday Cheer has become one of our most anticipated events because of the excitement and enthusiasm generated by the many devoted Rhode Islanders who want to support our troops, especially at the holidays," Roberts said. "When our service men and women are sent overseas, we know every day away from family and friends is difficult, but it is especially hard during this special time. The very least we can do is provide them with some comfort from home to show our thanks and appreciation for their continued service to our country," she said.
MSG Joseph Jenkins told of his experience receiving a care package through Operation Holiday Cheer while serving overseas last holiday season. He said the packages were warmly received and much appreciated at a time when the soldiers most want to be at home with loved ones.
Roberts announced on Saturday, December 8th, from 9 am to 1 pm, donations from individuals and groups will be accepted at the National Guard Armory, 541 Airport Rd in Warwick. On Sunday, December 9th, volunteers will assemble the care packages for shipping overseas with the help of the United States Postal Service. Volunteers must register online to volunteer.
Operation Holiday Cheer includes a host of corporate and community sponsors to date, including AAA Southern New England, AlphaGraphics, American Red Cross RI Chapter, Amica Mutual Insurance Company, Autocrat, Bank of America, BankNewport, Banneker Industries, CVS Caremark, Dunkin Donuts, Hasbro, Home Depot, National Grid, New England Coffee Company, New England Patriots, Nortek, Ocean State Job Lot, RI National Guard Family Assistance Center, The Providence Journal, and the United States Postal Service. More sponsors are expected to sign on in the coming weeks.
For the Troops' Wish List, organizing a group collection, or to volunteer, go to www.ltgov.state.ri.us and click on Operation Holiday Cheer. To make a donation, go to www.riredcross.org and click on Operation Holiday Cheer. Checks also may be sent and made payable to the American Red Cross RI Chapter/Operation Holiday Cheer, 105 Gano St., Providence, RI 02906. This event is organized by Lt. Governor Roberts' office with help from the RI National Guard's Family Assistance Center.

Yes, I always draw him with some sort of pale brownish hair. Always have. Someone on Elfwood once told me there was a reference to fair hair in the Lay of Leithian, but I haven't looked at it again.
It's a long debate whether "the Fair" means light-haired, light-skinned or just beautiful - but his name is mentioned in such an antithesis to Caranthir the Dark that I always thought it referred to his hair.
And it can NOT have meant his character
Have you got the German Silmarillion there, by the way? How did they translate "the Fair"? I've only got a couple of English versions. ^^;;

Topic: I am not weird
For those of you who think I'm weird, I'm not.
I may be 12, and a bit annoying all the time, but some of you treat me differently. I don't know why?
Let's get to the basics:
1. For those of you who call me a N00b again, I'm going to report you, because, A.) I know I am. B.) You've already told me. I'm getting sick of it.
2. I try not to spam. - I DO TRY! Whoever says I don't is probably true. But I am very talkative. I love this site and all on it. ALL ON IT btw.
3. Don't call my friends N00bs - You take it for granted that there the same age as me and they are weird in your opinion.
4. I am trying to be friendly, but when I'm on, people always seem to say " SPAMMER! " or " MMMM, SPAM! "
" SPAM ATTACK " " Green, your a spammer " and so on. I do try not to. Sometimes I don't that's true but I'm only saying.
5. This reputation karma thing does my heading a bit. I have got 7 minuses from the people that despise me.
6. I hope you all have great lives and get on well with your family and friends
7. I like you all very much!
8. N00b is the word that sickens me........It should be banned from here for good!
9. Thanks for viewing.

A comparison of Russia and SloveniaMygind, Niels; Demina, Natalia; Gregoric, Aleksandra; Kapelyushnikov, Rostislav (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Ownership is determined by firm specific factors and the environment. Firms change over their life-cycle. The governance cycle – here defined as changes in identity of the dominant owner and own-ership concentration - is marked by key phases including start-up, growth, and possibly a restructur-ing or exit stage. During transition the cycle reflects: privatization often with a high proportion of employee ownership like in Russia and in Slovenia; strong pressures for restructuring and owner-ship changes; limited possibility for external finance because of embryonic development of the fi-nancial system. To provide simple hypothesis tests, we use Russian enterprise data for 1995-2003 and Slovenian data covering 1998-2003. In spite of differences in institutional development, con-cerning privatization and development of corporate governance institutions, we find that govern-ance cycles are broadly similar in the two countries. Employee ownership is rapidly fading, but while change to manager and non-financial domestic outsider ownership is typical for Russia, man-ager ownership is not widespread in Slovenia. Instead change to financial outsiders in the form of Privatization Investment Funds is frequent. Foreign ownership, which is rare especially in Russia, is quite stable. The ownership diversification to employees and diversified external owners during privatization did not fit well to the low development of institutions. As expected we observe in both countries a subsequent concentration of ownership on managers, external domestic and foreign owners.

Mygind, Niels (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The Baltic countries have been through a period of 15 years with fast changes in ownership and corporate governance structures. The privatization processes have been quite different in the three countries, but in the dynamics after privatization we see an increasing level of similarity in the adjustment of the ownership structure. We have followed the changes quite closely over the years both in quantitative research and in case studies. We focus on the most important institutions for corporate governance in legislation and enforcement, bankruptcy, company law, minority shareholder protection as well as the development of the banking system and stock exchanges. The paper analyses the main trends in the development and show how all the three Baltic economies are heading toward a typical Continental European system of corporate governance based on quite concentrated blockholder ownership.

a role in the Baltic economies?Mygind, Niels (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper gives an overview over some theory and empirical evidence on employee ownership and other forms of employee financial participation and answers the following questions: What is employee ownership and what is the relation to other forms of financial participation? Why is employee ownership widespread in some developed market economies like US and in Italy, France and Spain, while it has a quite rare occurrence in the Scandinavian countries? What are the conditions favouring and what are the barriers for employee ownership? What are the advantages and drawbacks for employee owned companies? The paper also gives a summary of the experience in the Baltics – with reference to the following three country articles – and gives finally some perspectives for the future.

wage earner or employee owner?Mygind, Niels (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper investigates the determinants behind the choice between a wage earner position versus employee ownership. These determinants can be found both at the individual level: desire for selfgovernance, risk aversion, human capital, wealth, mobility; company level: size, complexity, heterogeneity of labor, capital intensity, human capital; and society level: labor market dynamics, social security, role of unions and specific institutional rules for employee ownership. The choice is determined by the possibility for wage-earners to adjust working conditions by exit versus the possibilities and costs for employee to use voice as owners of their company. It is predicted that employee ownership will be found in organizations which are small, homogenous, simple in structure, and with high emphasis on specific human capital. The opportunities of globalization with complex organizations crossing borders/cultures will be more difficult to implement in employee owned companies. Specific external institutions (tax incentives, company laws, privatization opportunities) and innovative internal institutions may change the balance in favor of employee ownership. The predictions are not tested, but illustrated by examples especially from recent evidence from Eastern Europe. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7089

Eamets, Raul; Mygind, Niels; Spitsa, Natalia (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Presently, legal regulation of participation of employees – financial participation as well as participation in decision-making – is not well developed in Estonia. On the one hand, it is due to the fact that no tradition of employee participation could have been formed after Estonia became independent because different, contrary political aims, e.g. development of the free-market economy and promotion of national elites, were given priority. Although employee ownership emerged during the early stage of privatization, it was a temporary phenomenon. Earlier experience with employee participation in decision-making was considered to be a relict from the time under Soviet rule and, therefore, to be discredited and not worth following. On the other hand, the solution of current employment and social problems is not associated with a higher level of participation of employees. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7112

Abstract: This report outlines main trends in employees' financial participation in Latvia including historical, socioeconomic and legal background. A special emphasis is placed on privatization during the transition period which shaped an environment for employees' financial participation and influenced the current state of employee share ownership and profit-sharing. Attitudes of social partners and the government will be addressed. The report will show why the transition process lead to a low level of employees' financial participation and the indifference and ignorance of policy makers concerning the development of financial participation.

Darškuviené, Valdoné; Hanisch, Stefan; Mygind, Niels (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Participation of employees in decision-making in Lithuanian companies has its roots in trade union movement as well as in the practice of managing companies under Soviet rule. After Lithuania regained independence, employee ownership was used to facilitate privatization. A notable success was establishment of a number of employee-owned companies that were formerly state-owned enterprises during the first stage of privatization. However, no stronger tradition of employee participation has evolved. Current legal regulation of participation of employees - financial participation, as well as participation in decision-making - is not well developed and does not provide for stronger incentives. The solution of current employment and social problems by the Government, ruling parties as well as social partners is not associated with a higher level of participation of employees. Financial participation is viewed mainly as a way of employee motivation as initiated by managers and current owners of companies. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7110

A simple model for analysis of the business environmentMygind, Niels (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Societies all over the world are complex systems of human beings interacting with each other for making a living. Understanding these societies is essential for international business whatever the company interacts through foreign trade, outsourcing production or foreign direct investments - FDI. Choice of location makes it necessary to do an analysis of relevant foreign societies. The existing models for these analyses are often too simplified, static and without enough emphasis on key determinants for these societies – their institutions. The quality of institutions is an import part of the explanation for the level of development in different countries (WB 2002, IMF 2005, WEF 2006); but there is no simple link between institutions and economic performance (Rodrik 2004).

DETROIT — Thank goodness the Detroit Tigers haven't played the San Diego Padres this season.
With Tigers starter Doug Fister inadvertently plunking batters at an alarmingly record pace, you'd have to think the Padres' Carlos Quentin — whose dislike for being nicked became glaringly obvious earlier in the month — might take umbrage.
With two more hit batters in Sunday night's start, Fister now has eight in five starts this season, just four shy of his career high.
Then again, Fister would probably make sure that Quentin — who charged the mound on April 13 after being hit by a pitch, and broke Zack Greinke's collarbone in the ensuing fracas — knew for sure it wasn't on purpose.
"Unfortunately, I think it's more mechanics for me. I'm not staying back at times, and kinda my arm drags, and the sinker gets away from me. For me, it's never intentional to hit a guy. It's (a matter of) looking over, making sure they know it's not intentional," Fister said Sunday.
"Yes, I'm trying to go inside, keep the sinker down and in, but by no means is it ever intentional."
It's not intentional, no.
But it has been glaringly frequent. Fister has twice as many hit batters as anyone else in baseball.
The record for most hit batters in a single season in the American League era (since 1901) is 32 by the Philadelphia A's Chick Fraser in 1901. (According to BaseballReference.com, the most in the recorded history of baseball is 54 by Phil Knell of the 1891 Columbus Salons, in 58 games pitched.) The Tigers' franchise record is 23, by Howard Ehmke in 1922. The only pitchers more recent than that to crack the top 15 on the all-time list are Chicago's Kerry Wood (21 in 2003) and the California Angels' Tom Murphy (21 in 1969).
Right now, Fister's roughly on a pace for 48, should he make 30 starts this season.
They've come in bunches already, too.
Fister had two in five innings in his first start against the Yankees.
He had another in his eight-inning start against the Blue Jays the next time out.
After none in seven innings in Seattle, he hit three guys in his April 21 start in Anaheim.
Then two more against the Braves Sunday.
"Well, really it's part of his game — not to hit guys — but it's part of his game to use both sides of the plate, and I don't think the pitch to (Atlanta's Justin) Upton was very far inside at all. I don't know about the other one," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.
"He keeps them honest. He's certainly not trying to hit anybody, but he goes in, and sometimes his ball runs late like it does — that's why they miss-hit some balls — and sometimes, if starts in there, then it runs in at the last second, you might hit somebody once in a while.
"But certainly he's not trying to."
It's not been all bad, though.
It helps that Fister has issued only six walks on the season, and is in the top 15 in ERA among American League starters (2.38). He's also tied for third in the big leagues in wins with four, becoming just the fourth Tigers pitcher in the live-ball era (since 1921) to win at least four games in April without a loss.
Due to the Red Wings' playoff schedule, the Tigers' road games in Houston on Thursday and SAturday will be on FOX Sports Detroit-Plus and WXYT-AM (1270). …
Per ESPN, Sunday night's Tigers-Braves game got a 12.1 rating in Detroit, the second-highest rated regular-season MLB game for ESPN in Detroit. The highest was also a game between Atlanta and Detroit, in June 2007.

Emails were sent out to DC Comics subscribers and while the notification was nice, the only reasoning behind the move was that Microsoft was phasing out the platform. Guess Comixology has never heard of Windows Phone 8.
Thanks, everyone, for the tips on this!

Joyous occasion, isn't it? I know you're all worried about how warriors have been the target for the flavor of the month QQ that's been going on around the official forums so let's dive right in, take a look at the upcoming changes and how they affect you as a front line protection warrior.
Thankfully, a lot of the warrior patch notes are centered around other the other talent trees, likely to try and address the dominance that warriors have enjoyed in PvP.
For general changes, the there are three big changes. First off, Cleave and Heroic strike damage has been reduced by 20%. While those abilities weren't your main threat skills, it's still gong to hurt your threat generation a bit compared to before so that might be something that you want to keep an eye out for.
Inner Rage is also getting a redesign from increasing all the damage you deal by a flat percentage to reducing the CD on Heroic Strike and Cleave. This one is actually a pretty serious hit to your threat. As a tank, rage was never really a problem, turning this ability into a flat damage/threat increase, however, with the change, it's now going to be much less effective. It'll be nice to have faster Heroic Strikes and Cleaves on demand when you need it, but it'll be hard to compare to the previous iteration of this ability.
In the protection tree, the only change is something that shouldn't really affect us at all while tanking and that is the fact that the Charge stun for those of us invested in the Warbringer talent (which should be all of us) will not suffer diminishing returns on our Charge stuns on other players in PvP.
In terms of warrior-centric changes, that's about if. As you can tell, a lot of the changes that came through for warriors this round was designed around nerfing our PvP efficacy. As a result, the changes that we feel as protection warriors lies mostly in the threat and damage department. It's been reduced a bit so you'll have to be a little careful when it comes to gaining and keeping threat for a few days after this patch until you're used to the new values but once you adjust, there shouldn't really be any nerfs to our ability to survive.
In terms of other changes, a lot of the dungeons, both the normal and heroic versions, have been hit with a pretty significant nerf across the board. Running your daily heroic with a random group should be easier than it ever has been before as a lot of boss abilities have been fixed to take more time to cast, cast less often, or to just flat out do less damage.
The final changes to make not eof this round are the changes to the crafted epics and how they all have been granted an additional socket.
So just a free bonus to those of us who tried to get ahead of the game by dropping the gold on these.
