His Grace Bishop Daniel Makes an Archpastoral Visit to Arden Hills, MN!
Over the weekend of December 6-8, 2013 the parishioners of Holy Great-Martyr Katherine Ukrainian Orthodox parish in Arden Hills, MN welcomed to the parish family their Eparchial hierarch – His Grace Bishop Daniel. Almost immediately following the arrival to Minneapolis/St. Paul International airport, the bishop was greeted by the pastor of the parish family- Very Rev. Petro Siwko, and escorted Bishop Daniel to a local nursing home in order to pay a visit to Very Rev. Michael Kudanovich, a long term priest of the UOC of the USA who also served the Ukrainian Orthodox communities in Minneapolis Metropolitan area. Visiting with Fr. Kudanovich, the bishop had an opportunity to express personal greetings of the Prime Hierarch of the Church His Eminence Metropolitan Antony to Fr. Michael and also to learn a bit more about Fr. Michael's pastoral path.
On Saturday, December 7, 2013 a number of parishioners of St. Katherine parish gathered in the parish church, in order to participate in Vespers and a special Memorial service which was dedicated to the memory of the founders of the parish, the clergy that faithfully served the spiritual needs of their parishioners, and most especially it was served for the repose of the souls of about 2,335 U.S. servicemen and 68 civilians, who perished 72 years ago in Pearl Harbor attack.
Following the Memorial service, His Grace Bishop Daniel addressed the parishioners of the parish, reflecting upon the tragedy of the early December 1941 and sacrifices made by the sailors and servicemen of the US military following the moment of horrific loss of life.
In his short remarks Bishop Daniel mentioned "...that there are very few left that recall Pearl Harbor from experience, but many remember it; - we all should remember it, because such shared experience will prevent future disasters. A remnant of the World War II generation is still with us. They remain as active members of civil society and we must not forget them. We can serve them if they are disabled; bear the burdens they can no longer stand…Much that should not be forgotten will be remembered if today we remember the day of December 7, 1941 – the day of Pearl Harbor."
In conclusion, His Grace Bishop Daniel stated that "rather than excluding God from our society and our individual lives, we must give thanks to God for His protection and presence in the lives of so many servicemen that have served the nation and continue to dedicate their lives in the service of others."
As the evening hours brought to the end the liturgical cycle of the day, the parishioners gathered with their bishop for a small coffee hour, with soup and baked goods, prepared by the parish's Sisterhood.
St. Katherine Ukrainian Orthodox Church formally celebrated its annual patron saint's day on December 8, 2013. The pastor, Very Rev. Petro Siwko and the parish board of administration invited His Grace Bishop Daniel, the Ruling Hierarch of the Western Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA to honor the feast day and to lead the liturgical celebrations. Prior to the Divine Liturgy, children of the parish and the parishioners greeted the bishop on the front steps of the church with the traditional bread, salt and flowers. Mr. Swiatoslav Mirza, the president of the parish board of administration welcomed the bishop, asking for his blessing and prayers for the parish's congregation, and jokingly remarked that it snows every time bishop visits St. Paul/Minneapolis area.
Following the chanting of the Gospel Reading, His Grace Bishop Daniel delivered an inspiring sermon in Ukrainian and English languages, reflection upon the spiritual meaning of a touch – the "touch" of Faith and the "touch" in faith.
At the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, His Grace Bishop Daniel, assisted by Very Rev. Petro Siwko, the pastor of the parish family, Very Rev. Evgen Kumka, pastor of Holy Archangel Michael/St. George Ukrainian Orthodox parish in Minneapolis, and in the presence of over 200 parishioners, kneeling down offered special prayer petitions for the people of Ukraine and the nation of Ukraine as the world watches the rebirth of Freedom in Ukraine. Quoting the statement of the Council of Bishops of the UOC of the USA, Bishop Daniel stated: "We pray and stand with people in Ukraine, and witness to the local communities throughout the United States of America about the importance of the efforts of the citizens of Ukraine… Throughout Ukraine's history, millions of people have given their lives for freedom, dignity and human rights, in order to reclaim the right to peaceful demonstration as well as political and societal activity. The voice of the street must be heard and respected and it cannot be silenced by the noise and uncertainties of those in leadership positions who choose to confuse and abuse by utilizing violence against the protestors. The use of force, confrontation and violence will fail to resolve political issues.
We call upon the leaders of Ukraine to address and immediately cease the violence against the protestors. The country's democratic future will depend on dialogue and the ability to listen to voice of Ukrainian citizens. It is essential that logic and calm prevail. No physical force will ever succeed in eliminating the free will and the voice of the citizenry! The authorities must respect the protestors who have simply exercised their political and constitutional – and most importantly – God-Given rights to peacefully gather in protest and demonstration. All the leaders and citizens of the Ukrainian nation must, as Saint Paul reminds us, clothe themselves in "heartfelt mercy, kindness, humility, meekness and patience." (Col. 3:12).
At the end of the Divine Liturgy Bishop Daniel greeted all the parishioners and guests on this special holy day in the life of the parish family, especially Fr. Petro Siwko on the 15th anniversary of his pastoral service in the life of the parish community as well as on his upcoming birthday. Then all of the parishioners approached the bishop to venerate the cross and to receive special holy icon cards commemorating this day. However, the prayers concluded with a formal photo, taken by so dozens of cameras, hoping to send photo greetings to the people of Ukraine, as they remain on the cold streets of Ukrainian Maydan in Kyiv.
The celebrations continued with lunch in the parish hall and performances by the children of the parish. Bishop Daniel started the event with a prayer. During lunch, Pani Luba Lewytska, who served as Mistress of Ceremonies, called upon those in attendance to reflect upon the tragic events of 1932-1933 Holodomor in Ukraine. Bishop Daniel and Pani Luba read to those in attendance a poem "Dedication to the Victims of Holodomor in Ukraine", dedicated to the memory of the lost, and written by Svitlana Kuzmenko.
As the program continued, the people were treated to a performance by the parish children. The concert was enjoyed by the audience.
The day's festivities ended with the singing of "Mnohaya Lita." Pastor of the parish family, Fr. Petro Siwko thanked the bishop for joining the parish this day, the guests for coming to celebrate with the parishioners, the cooks who prepared a wonderful meal, the children for their performance, and all the guests and parishioners for their attendance in large numbers. The parishioners were then able to spend some time speaking with Bishop Daniel and receiving his blessings.

Journalists faced numerous attacks during a tumultuous year marked by the ouster of President Mohamed Nasheed, the country's first democratically elected leader. Nasheed opponents attacked TV stations and journalists in the capital, Malé, after protests against his government escalated in early year. Nasheed, a former human rights defender and political prisoner who was elected president in 2008, stepped down in February but accused his successor, Mohammed Waheed Hassan, and former dictator Maumoon Abdul Gayoom of having orchestrated a coup. As Nasheed's supporters took to the streets in protests seeking new presidential elections, numerous attacks on the press were reported. News coverage reflected the country's political polarization. Raajje TV, a pro-Nasheed station, said that vandals briefly forced it off the air and that police assaulted and harassed its journalists. Police accused Raajje of falsely reporting officer misconduct and said vaguely that they would not "provide support" to the station. New elections were slated for July 2013, but tensions remained high in late year after Nasheed was arrested on abuse-of-office charges. The worst attack of the year came in June when unidentified assailants slashed the throat of Ismail Rasheed, a secularist who blogged about gay rights. His supporters said Hassan had stoked religious extremism and failed to ensure a proper investigation into the attack on Rasheed, who survived.
Anti-Nasheed protesters took over a state-run TV outlet of the Maldives National Broadcasting Commission and set fire to the privately owned station VTV amid February protests.
May 2011:
|Hundreds of protesters gather in the capital over rising food prices, news reports say.
December 23, 2011:
|Religious-oriented protests are held for and against Nasheed's model of moderate Islam.
January 16, 2012:
|Nasheed orders the arrest of Chief Justice Abdulla Mohamed, saying the judge had obstructed criminal investigations into allies of former leader Gayoom, prompting protests, news reports said.
February 6:
|About 50 police officers decline to follow orders and join anti-Nasheed protests, which escalate into violence.
February 7:
|Nasheed resigns, but says the move was under duress.
In June, three unidentified men stabbed Ismail Rasheed after the blogger, known by his penname Hilath, wrote about freedom of religion and gay rights, according to the Maldives Journalist Association and local news website Minivan News. He survived and fled the country; the attack is unsolved.
July 2009:
|Hilath receives death threats after writing an article about an underage girl being kept as a concubine, according to Minivan News.
November 2011:
|The Ministry of Islamic Affairs orders Hilath's website shut down for content perceived as anti-Islamic, according to Minivan News.
December 2011:
|Hilath is attacked and hospitalized after organizing a silent protest in favor of religious tolerance. Police detain him for 24 days while assailants go unpunished, according to local news reports.
June 2012:
|Six assailants threaten to kill Hilath, according to independent news website Minivan News. Days later, Hilath is stabbed and seriously injured.
Unidentified men break into and vandalize Raajje TV offices on August 7, shutting down the broadcaster for a day. The attack, which caused thousands in damages, came amid a standoff between the broadcaster and police over allegations that Raajje was inciting political violence.
July 13, 2012:
|Raaje TV journalists report surveillance and harassment by police, forcing them to cut live broadcasts of protests in the capital, Malé.
July 23:
|Raaje TV broadcasts footage purportedly showing police officers stealing gas; police say the video was misleading.
July 24:
|The Maldives Police Service announces it will "disengage cooperation" with Raaje TV. Home Minister Mohamed Jameel characterizes the outlet as an enemy of the state, according to Minivan News.
October 2:
|Police withdraw their boycott of Raaje TV, the Maldives Journalist Association says.
Penetration has more than doubled since 2007, according to figures from the International Telecommunication Union.

Obama's Presidential Character
Friday, 18. October 2013 9:25
When examining the nature of the presidency, we have discussed the importance (or lack there of) of presidential character — the personal and psychological characteristics of the men who have served in the office. In the course of that discussion, we assessed and criticized the most famous (infamous?) effort in that vein: James Barber's "Presidential Character," which schemes presidential character in a two-dimensional (four category) typology. One dimension is active/passive, assessing essentially whether they are looking to use the office to accomplish political goals, and the other dimension is positive/negative, essentially refering to their personality (dour and tending toward paranoia versus optimistic and cheery). One of our criticisms of the application of this scheme to presidents by Barber is that it suffers greatly from confirmation bias –tending to rate presidents in the 'good' categories based on partisan disposition rather than an objective assessment of their character. See, for example, John Dean's effort to place Mitt Romney in the Active/Negative category along with George W. Bush. The scheme also suffers from "backfitting" — i.e. identifying bad characteristics with failed presidencies (Nixon) or those which ended badly (LBJ) and identifying good characteristics with those that were successfull (FDR).
All that said, a new article at the National Interest looks at President Obama's presidential character and attempts to place him in the typology based on his behavior in office over the past five years. In the author's view, President Obama belongs in the Active / Negative category — the 'worst' category for presidents.
Here he makes the case that Obama belongs in the Active category:
He took office with big ambitions and a manifest resolve to change American society in very significant ways. This was manifest particularly in his Affordable Care Act, designed to transform the way we dispense health care in America and increase federal intrusion into a sixth of the current economy (projected to be 20 percent of the U.S. economy by 2020). And he was willing to do this without a single opposition vote, which reflected an almost breathtaking political audacity. His energy bill represents another reflection of his ambitions, and multiple actions in the regulatory realm (some of questionable constitutional validity) reflect also Obama's preference for America as a European-style social democracy. Since the country has generally shunned such a course since the early years of the New Deal and a brief spurt of federal activity under Lyndon Johnson, Obama's presidential temperament clearly falls into the Active category.
And here he makes the case he belongs in the Negative category:
But is he a Negative or a Positive? The Positive presidents relished the job and the grand necessity to move events by persuading, cajoling, bargaining with and perhaps occasionally threatening other players in the political arena. The great Active-Positive presidents all had fun in the job. They showed a zest and enthusiasm that was infectious, not just with the American people but, more significantly, with members of Congress.
We sure don't see any of that with Obama. Edward Klein, a former New York Times Magazine editor and author of a book on Obama called The Amateur, has written that Obama "doesn't learn from his mistakes, but repeats policies that make our economy less robust and our nation less safe."
Do we see any presidential zest or political joy in this chief executive? Hardly. He seems always stern, beset, frustrated and angry. It's as if he expects the opposition to join him in whatever he wants to do for the simple reason that they should want to make his life easier. After all, he's the president.
Here's how Barber describes the Active-Negative: "…relatively intense effort and relatively low emotional reward for that effort. The activity has a compulsive quality…His self-image is vague and discontinuous. Life is a hard struggle to achieve and hold power, hampered by the condemnations of a perfectionistic conscience. Active-negative types pour energy into the political system, but it is an energy distorted from within."
Nothing illustrates this more starkly than Obama's insistence on shirking his responsibility as president to lead the way out of Washington's increasingly dire fiscal deadlock, with the government partially shut down and a possible financial default on the horizon. His political petulance is so far from the Positive traits, as defined by Barber, that his categorization as an Active-Negative is unavoidable.
What do you think? Does President Obama belong in the Active/Negative category?

BATON ROUGE — Taxpayers owed a refund from Louisiana will have three ways to collect their money this year.
The state Department of Revenue announced yesterday that electronic tax filers can receive a debit card, a paper check or direct deposit into their bank account.
New to the paper state income tax return this year is the option of selecting a paper check for a refund, in addition to the debit card.
The agency sparked an outcry when it shifted from paper checks to debit cards. Critics complained elderly residents had difficulty making the switch.
The Legislature passed a bill last year requiring that taxpayers be allowed to opt against debit cards.
To receive a paper check, taxpayers must select that option on their paper or electronic returns.

Fossil Gallery
Ogygopsis klotziThe most abundant fossil in the Mount Stephen Trilobite Beds
Trilobita (Order: Corynexochida)
Trilobites are extinct euarthropods, probably stem lineage representatives of the Mandibulata, which includes crustaceans, myriapods, and hexapods (Scholtz and Edgecombe, 2006).
Species name:
Ogygopsis klotzi
Described by:
Description date:
Ogygopsis – from Ogygia, in Greek mythology, the 7th daughter of Amphion and Niobe; Ogygia was first used as a trilobite genus name in 1817.
klotzi – after Otto Klotz, the Dominion topographical surveyor who provided the fossils for Rominger's study and description.
Type Specimens:
Holotype (K. burgessensis) – USNM65511 in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA (Resser, 1942); Type status under review – (K. dawsoni), University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.
Other species:
Burgess Shale and vicinity: Ogygopsis spinulosa Rasetti, 1951, from the slightly older Cathedral Formation on Mount Stephen.
Other deposits: species of Ogygopsis have now been described from elsewhere in the Cambrian of North America, as well as in Greenland and Siberia.
Middle Cambrian, Bathyuriscus–Elrathina Zone (approximately 505 million years ago).
Principal localities:
The Trilobite Beds and smaller localities on Mount Stephen.
Brief history of research:
Ogygopsis klotzi was first described in the same 1887 publication as several other important Mount Stephen trilobites. Rominger named the largest and most abundant species after Klotz, placing it in the genus Ogygia. The following year, Charles Walcott questioned this assignment, and in 1889 proposed the new genus name Ogygopsis. For decades afterwards, Ogygopsis was thought to be unique to the Mount Stephen Trilobite Beds, where it is the most conspicuous fossil on the mountain slope. In fact, Walcott designated the occurrence as the "Ogygopsis shale" in 1908, and subsequently named the Burgess Shale as its geographic equivalent (although Ogygopsis itself has never been found on Fossil Ridge!)
Hard parts: adult dorsal exoskeletons may be up to 13 cm long and are elongate oval in outline, with a large crescentic cephalon, a thorax of eight segments ending pointed blade-like tips, and a large semi-circular pygidium without spines. The glabella is long and barrel-shaped, smoothly rounded in front, reaching almost to the anterior border. Thin eye ridges angle back from near the front of the glabella to long narrow eyes located opposite glabellar mid-length. Free cheeks extend back into straight, short genal spines. The large pygidium has 9 axial rings decreasing in size backwards, followed by a terminal piece; 8 or 9 pairs of pygidial ribs become progressively shorter and more backwardly directed. The whole exoskeleton is mostly smooth externally, with fine ridges parallel to the margins; free cheeks and posterior fixed cheeks may show a distinctive pattern of fine anastomosing (interlinking) ridges.
Unmineralized anatomy: only a very few specimens of Ogygopsis klotzi are known with preserved evidence of limbs, but these show that there was a pair of flexible, multi-jointed antennae on the cephalon (Hofmann and Parsley, 1966).
Ogygopsis klotzi is extraordinarily abundant at the Mount Stephen Trilobite Beds, where it is the most common fossil encountered (Rudkin, 1996; 2009), but it does not occur on Fossil Ridge. The vast majority of more-or-less complete specimens lack free cheeks, and many paleontologists have interpreted these as moulted individuals.
Maximum size:
130 mm
Life habits:
Epibenthic, mobile
Feeding strategies:
Deposit feeder
Ecological Interpretations:
The shape and size of Ogygopsis klotzi adults suggest that they walked along the sea bed. Because Ogygopsis occurs in such enormous numbers, it is hard to imagine it as a predator/scavenger, like Olenoides. It may instead have consumed much smaller organic particles in unusual environments. Obvious healed injuries have been described on a number of Ogygopsis specimens; some of these may be evidence of predation on freshly moulted "soft-shell" trilobites by larger arthropods such as Anomalocaris (Rudkin, 1979; 2009). The tiny larval stages and early juveniles of Ogygopsis probably swam and drifted in the water column above the sea bed.

Electronic spying tools used by the US government could end up in the hands of organised criminals and hackers, a former executive of Britian's cyber intelligence agency has warmed.
"It is a big worry" that the methods will spread, said Andrew France, former deputy director of the UK's NSA equivalent, GCHQ, and now chief executive of security startup Darktrace.
The government habit of purchasing information about undisclosed holes in software is also "really troublesome," said former White House cyber security advisor Howard Schmidt.
"There's collateral damage."
Both France and Schmidt spoke to Reuters at the annual RSA Conference, the world's largest cyber security gathering, in San Francisco last week.
Secret state tools tend to fall into the hands of mobsters and eventually lone hackers - a trend which could worsen after former spy contractor Edward Snowden disclosed NSA capabilities for breaking into all kinds of IT equipment, industry leaders and experts warned at the RSA conference and two smaller gatherings in San Francisco convened partly to discuss RSA's government deals.
Pointing fingers
Both the United States and the security industry itself came under fire at the various assemblies.
Previously faulted mainly for their inability to stem the tide of attacks, security providers such as RSA have become front-line victims themselves. Hackers tied to China breached RSA in 2011 in order to falsify credentials used by employees at US defence contractors.
"A lot of companies have been lax as to their own security," said RSA conference speaker David Cowan of Bessemer Venture Partners, who co-founded Verisign, an internet infrastrucure and security company spun off by RSA in 1995.
Far worse was the revelation RSA had accepted a US$10 million federal contract largely to promote the use of a flawed cryptographic formula developed by the NSA.
Though experts publicly called the system suspicious in 2007, it remained the default in RSA's widely distributed kit for securing software until documents leaked by Snowden last year suggested it had been planted by the NSA to provide the agency back-door access to a wide variety of computer programs.
Though sources familiar with the deal said RSA had been duped instead of bribed, the resulting outrage led several speakers to withdraw from RSA and speak at a rival gathering.
Such revelations have further eroded trust between the industry and public agencies.
RSA executive chairman Art Coviello, who had been silent on the contract, devoted much of his conference opening speech to the controversy.
Without going into specifics, Coviello turned on his erstwhile partners at the intelligence agency, implying RSA had been misled. He endorsed a recommendation by a White House review panel that the NSA's defensive mission be formally separated from its much larger spying mandate.
"RSA, and indeed most if not all major security and technology companies, work primarily with this defensive division within NSA," Coviello said.
"When or if the NSA blurs the line between its defensive and intelligence-gathering roles, and exploits its position of trust within the security community, then that's a problem."
Some attendees said they found his demand, and an accompanying call for all countries to renounce cyber weapons, to be a convenient way to distract from his company's culpability for the contract after the outcry. But it allied RSA with protesters calling for restrictions on government spying efforts.
Microsoft vice president Scott Charney was among those using the RSA conference to press for international consensus on norms of online behavior.
Schmidt said that effort has been going on for six years, and attempts at even domestic legislation have failed.
"We're running out of options," Department of Homeland Security Advisor and DefCon hacking conference founder Jeff Moss told the upstart Trustworthy Technology Conference this week.
The crisis of confidence in the government calls into question one of the few things that those concerned with cyber security had agreed on for more than a decade: the urgent need for greater cooperation between the private sector and government.
If supposedly defense-oriented officials conned RSA, the thinking goes, then many technology companies could be unwitting conduits for US spies.
That might not prove crippling financially for the security industry, many said, because buyers still need protection from non-governmental hackers.
In an interview, Coviello said there had been "zero impact" on RSA's business.
Drops in overseas sales reported by Cisco, IBM and others might abate as companies prefer to risk having US government intrusion rather than be spied on by their own governments, said former White House cyber security advisor and recent review-panel member Richard Clarke.
"The alternative of buying Chinese or putting data in a European data farm is not great either," Clarke said. "The NSA can do anything overseas" without US court oversight.
Famed cryptographer Bruce Schneier, an outspoken opponent of mass surveillance, said Snowden had raised awareness on the extent of privacy invasions and showed that good encryption can force spy agencies to work harder and be more targeted in their investigations.
The chaos is also encouraging companies to move toward better encryption themselves and to offer encrypted services to customers.
But former US counterintelligence chief Joel Brenner said at a Thursday event away from the RSA conference that agencies would work through the legal system or use technology to circumvent any mass adoption of effective cryptography.
"That's la-la land to think that would happen," Brenner said at the "Suits and Spooks" event.

Chocolate hummus is so decadent – like a rich chocolate mousse – that unless you tell your tasters it's hummus, they'll never know. Case in point: While I slathered chocolate hummus all over pita (probably too much of it because it's "healthy"), I also used it to frost chocolate cupcakes. Friends and family unknowingly tasted the chocolate hummus frosted cupcakes (they were only told that it was a chocolate cupcake), and not a single soul gave me a sidelong "what are you feeding me" glance. I asked for feedback and I got comments like, "What do you want me to tell you? It's just a really good chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting." Without knowing it, they gave me the exact feedback that I wanted to hear.
Chocolate Hummus Recipe
This chocolate hummus recipe is my own creation. However, I used the Snickerdoodle Dessert Hummus by Blissful Baking as a starting point. That hummus recipe should also be added to your short list of party spreads to try.
Chocolate Hummus
- 1 can 14 oz chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
- 1/2 cup chocolate nut butter I used Justin's Chocolate Almond Butter. You could also use chocolate hazelnut spread like Nutella or a chocolate peanut butter. The higher quality your chocolate nut butter, the better the end result will be. If you use Nutella or another product with lots of added sugar, your end result will be sweeter than mine and, depending on your personal taste preferences, you may need to cut back on the honey.
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Put all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until it's as smooth as you can get it.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
Coming Soon
Coming soon, I'll share more about the chocolate cupcake that I topped with chocolate hummus.
On Facebook
If you haven't been to the Cupcake Project Facebook page in a while, you might want to stop by and check out the post about favorite vanilla cupcake recipes. See what others have suggested and add yours to the mix. I'll be using those recipes for a baking project in July that I'll fill you in on soon!

Picture: Teen Mom Star Farrah Abraham visits the Daily Style Boutique at the Empire Hotel Los Angeles, California - 11.09.12
U.S. reality Tv star Farrah Abraham has pleaded not guilty to charges relating to her Dui arrest last month (Mar13).
The former Teen Mom regular was pulled over by police officers in Omaha, Nebraska early on 18 March (13), while she was parking her car outside a club.
Her lawyer appeared in court on Monday morning (29Apr13) and entered not guilty pleas on his client's behalf for counts of aggravated Dui, refusal to take a field test and disorderly conduct, reports Tmz.com.
A breathalyzer test conducted at the scene of the incident revealed her blood alcohol level to be almost twice the state's legal limit.
Abraham, 20, recently claimed she had just been sick and cranky - not drunk - at the time of the arrest, and she was confident the Dui charges would be dropped, saying, "Because I'm sick, I could not give an accurate breathalyzer test, due to coughing and shortage of breath... I have a lawyer and all will work out with my ticket."

The Tea Council of the USA announced that January is the month to celebrate the healing properties and comfort of enjoying a delicious hot cup of tea. Findings show that tea has potential health benefits that include flavonoids, a substance that could act as an antioxidant helping to reduce oxidative damage in the body. Drinking tea is also linked to promoting good health and reducing chronic diseases like certain types of cancer and coronary heart disease.
Did you know that the quality of the water you use to make your hot tea can have an adverse effect on the flavor and essence of your tea? Check out our previous post, "Can Water Quality Really Ruin a Good Cup of Tea?" which talks about the importance of water filtration and purification to give you the enjoyment of a nice cup of brewed tea. Here are some suggestions for cost-effective dispensers that will give you clean filtered water for your hot tea, hot coffee and even your hot cocoa:
The Everpure EverHot Hot Water System with Chrome Faucet includes a high quality hot/cold chrome faucet that is designed for use with this hot water dispenser system. This Everpure Hot Water System is ideal for enjoying a fresh, hot cup of tea, coffee or other hot beverage. It is also perfect for making quick hot meals such as soup, pasta, oatmeal and more.

Cake Snowman
JUST like the outdoor kind, this frosty figure from our kitchen staff is sure to melt...only it'll be your mouth! The cute-as can-be character is completely edible, from its chocolate candy buttons and coconut snowflakes to the licorice scarf and gumdrop nose. What's more, you'll be able to build the confection without using a specially shaped pan. How? CT's cooks baked the cakes in ordinary ovenproof bowls, a muffin pan and custard cups. So go ahead—just gather the ingredients and roll out a snowman today!
Total TimePrep: 40 min. Bake: 1 hour + cooling
Makes8-10 servings
- 2 packages (16 ounces each) pound cake mix
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 8 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 to 6 tablespoons milk
- 3-1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut (about 10 ounces)
- 2 brown M&M's
- 3 green M&M's
- 1 large orange gumdrops
- 4-1/2 teaspoons miniature chocolate chips
- 1 chocolate wafer
- 6 pieces red shoestring licorice, divided
- 1 large green gumdrop
- 2 red M&M'S
- Two 10-ounce custard cups
- Prepare cake mixes according to package directions. Pour batter into two greased 1-qt. ovenproof bowls, two greased 10-oz. custard cups and one greased muffin cup.
- In a 350° oven, bake muffin cup for 18-20 minutes, custard cups for 45-50 minutes and bowls for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing cakes from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- For frosting, cream the shortening and butter in a bowl. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency.
- Head and body: Use serrated knife to level the cakes.
- For the body, place one large round cake flat side up on the 8-in. serving plate. Frost the top of the cake. Place the remaining large cake on top with the flat side down and edges even. Frost the top and sides.
- For the head, place one custard cup cake with flat side up on top of body. Frost the top of the cake. Place the remaining custard cup cake on top with the flat side down and edges even. Frost the top and sides. Set aside 1/4 cup of frosting for hat.
- Press coconut over the top and sides of snowman, reserving some to sprinkle on plate later. Press two brown M&M's onto face for the eyes and three green M&M'S onto body for the buttons.
- Use your fingers to shape the orange gumdrop into a carrot shape. Press wide end onto face for the nose.
- Hat: Place reserved frosting in a bowl. Melt chocolate chips. Stir melted chips into frosting until blended. Frost top of wafer. With top of cupcake down, place cupcake on top of frosted wafer. Frost cupcake with remaining frosting. Place hat on snowman's head.
- Wrap two licorice pieces around hat just above brim and trim as needed.
- Flatten green gumdrop between waxed paper. Using sharp knife, cut a holly leaf shape from gumdrop and place on hat brim. Place two red M&M'S on brim next to holly leaf for the berries.
- Finishing: Press the ends of two licorice pieces together to create one long piece. Repeat with remaining two pieces of licorice. Tie long licorice pieces around neck for scarf.

January 10, 2013 | 10:05 p.m.
I am sure there are many harbor users who are still rather bunched up about the recent tidelands permit increases. So let me take a few minutes to shed some light on your eelgrass and explain your options on dredging your slips. You might just come away feeling a little better how your money in the tidelands fund is being spent.
Last year, the Regional General Permit 54, which allows residents to dredge, was allowed to expire. This kept residents from being able to dredge their slips for more than a year.
As of Jan. 1, an RGP is in place until March 2014. This will allow our local property owners to proceed with dredging their slips this year. I should back up a little and explain that this year's RGP 54 cost the city $500,000. About $400,000 of that cost is spent on sediment testing, and $100,000 is for the permit itself. It is my understanding that for a property owner to obtain a permit, it will cost $1,640 to the city and $77 to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. The permit will take two months to obtain, and you will need to pay for the proper person to come by and document that you do not have eelgrass within 15 feet of your dredging project.
If you do have eelgrass, than that opens a whole other problem, which can lead you to abandon your project. Please keep reading — there is light at the end of this tunnel. This RGP that is in place now will allow you to dredge 7 feet into the lower, low tide and you cannot make any changes to your dock at this time. Your best-case scenario is to have neighbors go in with you and split the cost. One of the reasons to proceed this year is that the city could raise its permit cost in the future.
Now here is our light at the end of the tunnel: Our harbor commissioners and harbor resource manager have gone the extra mile and gathered the proper information to make a presentation/recommendation to our City Council at the Jan. 22 study session that will allow negotiations to start with all the different agencies for a new and improved RGP taking effect in April 2014. During this week's Harbor Commission meeting, it appeared that the commission's subcommittee, led by Chairman Doug West, had talked to all the right players from the different agencies and met with the Anchorage consulting company, Mike Josselyn of WRA Environmental Consultants, dredging company owner Mark Sites, and Lisa Miller-Strunk of Shellmaker Incorporated. Past Harbor Commissioner John Corrough was also in attendance.
From my simple harbor observations over the years, this was the best lineup I have ever witnessed to achieve a goal. The proposed change of terms to the RGP will be to dredge more sediment per permit, increase the depth from 7 to 10 feet, reconfigure existing docks to meet modern standards and — the clincher — address the impacts through a bay-wide eelgrass program. If I heard Josselyn and West correctly, it seems possible that we can get past the eelgrass problem by just seeding more grass throughout the harbor and thereby making eelgrass our friend, rather than an opponent of achieving our goal of dredging our slips. As a city, we still need to grab that ring; the exciting part is we can see the ring approaching fast and have a dream team set up to grab it.
In fact, I overheard the Anchorage consultants comment on the Harbor Commission after the study session say, "They really did their homework!" That type of comment really makes me smile and feel good about how our tideland money should be spent. I am going to try to post the audio of this study session on my blog site at lenboseyachts.blogspot.com. If you are going to dredge your slip sometime soon, I highly recommend you take a listen.
I would like to give a big shout-out to City Councilwoman Leslie Daigle. She reached out to me, after reading my last column, in trying to understand the tidelands fund account. We met in person and she spent more than an hour explaining the fund to me. She also really wanted my take on harbor issues and what people are saying. So keep coming up to me and asking your questions. I have never felt so good about the harbor and am very excited about the upcoming year.
Sea ya.
LEN BOSE is an experienced boater, yacht broker and boating columnist.
This is a recording of the Harbor Commission meeting dated 1-09-13 regarding RGP 54 and Eelgrass and will coincide with my column tomorrow. If you plan on dredging your slip sometime soon you should take an hour and listen.

At last, first adventure with the ESRI Silverlight API...
So, I have installed ArcGIS API for Silverlight v2.4 and all its dependencies. Then, I downloaded the 'Showcase' Template. Opened the project in Visual Studio Ultimate 2010, and the project built and compiled fine (with some warnings about ScaleBarUnit). Hit F5, and application ran fine out of dev server.
Then, went to go look at xaml markup in MainPage.xaml by right clicking and choosing 'View Designer' option. Xaml starts loading, then Visual Studio crashes.
I've spent the last hour or so googling the issue, and haven't found the fix. I am hoping someone may know what I need to do to view the xaml markup in Visual Studio designer?

Subscribe to our e-newsletter mailing list to keep up with NCCCO news and industry headlines.
NCCCO Practical Examiner Accreditation Program (PEAP) workshops are hosted by companies and organizations around the country. PEAP workshops can train candidates to administer CCO practical tests in any or all categories. To host a PEAP workshop, you will need to be able to provide indoor and/or outdoor facilities, depending on the program(s).
In recognition of the time, labor, and materials the host site contributes to the event, registration for one employee of your company is complimentary (two employees for Mobile Crane and Digger Derrick workshops). You also save travel and hotel expenses by holding it at your facility. Moreover, as a result of preparing for the Workshop, you'll be all set up as an official CCO Practical Exam Test Site and be ready to begin testing without delay. Finally, having experienced NCCCO instructors there ensures that your test course is set up properly and you have everything you need to conduct CCO practical exams once the PEAP workshop is over.
NCCCO will provide press coverage of the event through its e-newsletter and, upon request, will develop a press release for your use. You will also receive an official CCO plaque of appreciation recognizing your participation in the program.
Classroom activities for all programs require a room large enough to comfortably accommodate around 20 participants. A TV/DVD player or laptop computer and projector are also needed.
PEAP workshops for the operator programs require a firm, level area that is free of ground and overhead obstructions and is large enough to accommodate required equipment and test courses. Overhead cranes may be indoors or outdoors. The outdoor area must be within walking distance of the classroom. In addition, the site must have indoor bathroom facilities (porta-potties are not acceptable).
Operator programs also require Test Weights and materials to construct the test courses. For details regarding crane and Test Weight specifications and test course materials, please contact Erin Jones, Program Manager, Practical Exam Program, at email@example.com.
The host company or organization is responsible for laying out the site for the operator programs; NCCCO provides detailed step-by-step instructions, including a CAD site plan. NCCCO personnel will guide you through placing the cranes and setting up the test course(s) prior to the workshop. In addition, an onsite audit is conducted several weeks prior to the workshop to ensure that all materials, equipment, and courses are correct.
Complete the proposal request form and email it to CCO. We'll email you a proposal containing further details of what's involved—naturally, without any obligation. Or address specific inquiries to Erin Jones, Program Manager, Audit Program/Practical Examiner Accreditation, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Kaaos TV conducted an interview with vocalist Johan Hegg of Swedish melodic death metal tyrants AMON AMARTH at the Finnish Metal Expo on February 18, 2011 in Helsinki, Finland. You can now watch the chat below.
A track-by-track review of "Surtur Rising", the eighth studio album from AMON AMARTH, can be found at RadioMetal.com. Named in tribute to Surtur, leader of the fire giants of Muspelheim ("flame land") and the oldest being in the nine worlds of Norse mythology, the record, which is due in North America on March 29 via Metal Blade Records, features 10 tracks of sword-wielding, fist-pumping, hyper climactic battle anthems. The follow-up to 2008's monolithic "Twilight Of The Thunder God" full-length was recorded again at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden with Jens Bogren and features strikingly brutal cover art by Tom Thiel.
The official album landing page can be acccessed at this location. The new web site, dedicated exclusively to "Surtur Rising", includes album pre-orders for North America and Europe as well as up-to-the-minute news updates, tour announcements, videos and singles leading up to the record's release.

Now that they day was finally here he was excited, nervous, and scared all at the.same time Truth is I felt all those things too. I am so excited for him to start to his educational joiurney. I hope he loves school as much as I did at that age.
He did not want to go in the classroom this morning. I asked him if he wanted to open the door and he looked at me and said "Mommy, I'm scared". I tried to reassure him that he would be ok.
When we left he seemed to be doing pretty good. He put his stuff in his cubby and was talking to his teacher.
When we left he seemed to be doing pretty good. He put his stuff in his cubby and was talking to his teacher.
I told everyone I would be doing a happy dance the first day of school, but I really thought I would cry.
Well, I didn't do either. I'm holding back the tears, and there is a semi-happy dance today.
As much as it drives me crazy I kinda miss Dakota talking my head off all day long. It is so quiet at home today!
Aiyanna was totally to pieces this morning. She fell apart when we left Dakota at school. She keeps telling me she wants to go get her brother. I'm sure that won't last long though :o)

UH Board of Regents approves Frear Hall development agreement and contract
Approval clears the way for construction to begin on new student residence hallUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Mia Noguchi, (808) 956-9095
External Affairs & University Relations
HILO, Hawaiʻi — At its monthly meeting held today at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, the UH Board of Regents (BOR) approved the development agreement and contract with American Campus Communities for construction of the new Frear Hall student residence at UH Mānoa. A groundbreaking ceremony is being planned for November 2006 with construction scheduled for completion in time for student occupation in Fall 2008.
The BOR approved authorization for contract negotiations to proceed during its last meeting held in September along with the caveat that construction costs not exceed $71 million. The planned complex will be comprised of two 12-story buildings with approximately 800 beds for students.
Frear Hall is the first new student residence to be built on the Mānoa campus since 1978.
The BOR also approved the university's two legislative proposals for submittal to the Governor for inclusion in the Administration's package of bills to the 2007 State Legislature. One proposal would reinstate the university's authority to develop internal policies and procedures for procurement of goods, services and construction, as previously conferred upon the BOR by the legislature in 1998.
The second proposal seeks to provide the university with increased flexibility in the administration and financing of capital projects, including the ability to designate any appropriated special and revolving funds as a source of "revenues of the university" and the ability to issue bonds for a "university purpose."
The legislative package is consistent with the spirit and intent of the constitutional amendment granting the university greater self governance.
In other action, the BOR approved the establishment of the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Administration of Justice and the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Geology at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo.

Justin Wilson
LAT for Champ Car
On Saturday morning in Toronto, Canada I caught
up with RuSPORT Champ Car driver Justin Wilson to get to know
this tall British ex-F1 driver. I was most curious to
learn how he came to race in North America and whether he was
happy with his decision to move his career over to this side of
the Atlantic.
Q. Do they still call you Justin "Too Tall"
Wilson, is that a nickname you once had? - Referring to
the difficulty he has fitting comfortably in some race cars due
to his height.
JUSTIN WILSON: No, a couple people did call me that, but I've
been called many things over the years.
Q. You are one of the taller race drivers out there today.
Do you fit well in these Champ Cars?
JUSTIN WILSON: In the Champ Car it's okay. It's the same as any
car I've driven. It's tight. There's not much room left.
Fortunately I'm right on the limit just underneath it. Each race
weekend, I do something else, we have to put a little more
padding in place or take a bit of padding out; so depending on
the circuit layout to how comfortable I am. But it's still
possible to drive the car.
Q. Has Champ Car given you any assurances that the new car
will be as big or bigger than the current one as far as room for
the drivers?
JUSTIN WILSON: Yeah, they sent, actually RuSPORT did a model of
me in the same design package that they had and sent that across
to them, and I believe that's all good. So I should get to see
the new car in the near future and make sure I do actually fit
in the real thing.
Q. Do you live in the States full time now or do you
still commute back and forth across the pond (Atlantic)?
JUSTIN WILSON: I still spend a bit of time in the U.K., also
time in Colorado where the team is based. So I split my time
between the two.
Q. How is it living in America compared to back home?
JUSTIN WILSON: I like it. I think it's good fun. It's relaxed
and I'm just able to concentrate on the racing when I'm over
here. When I go back to the U.K., there's other things that
come up. So I like being in the States and just focused solely
on the racing.
Q. Does part of you still miss Formula 1, or have you decided
that this is your future?
JUSTIN WILSON: Yeah, this is where I want to be. I went to the
British Grand Prix on a Friday and visited the paddock there and
saw some people, but that's not what I'm looking to do. That was
more of a social visit than anything else. I don't really look
to go back. I experienced that and I really enjoy racing over
here now.
Q. When did you get started in racing as a young kid in
JUSTIN WILSON: I started racing cars at eight years old and
started as a hobby. And after the first weekend, it became
pretty serious and grew from there. I moved into open wheel cars
at 16. I just progressed through the different ranks.
Q. Is there the racing in your family, did your father do it
or your uncle?
JUSTIN WILSON: Yeah, my father used to race Formula Fords back
in the 60s and early 70s. He stopped when he had a big accident.
That put an end to his career.
You know, like I said, when I was eight years old, he was
looking for a hobby, and I was just looking to drive something.
I had always been interested and when I got the opportunity to
get behind a vehicle and I jumped at the chance.
Q. Champ Car is a very diverse range of tracks going from a
speed circuit like in Long Beach to a semi speed circuit here to
a natural terrain road course in Portland to an airport in
Cleveland and to an oval in Milwaukee. Does that make it
difficult to adapt to this as a driver?
JUSTIN WILSON: Yeah, but that's part of the challenge that we
like. You know, you have to master all these different
techniques, like you say, you're driving on ovals, you're
driving on street circuits and airports, and it's not a normal
road course like what we're used to back in Europe. You have to
understand each one and get the most out of it. When you do get
the most out of it, it's very rewarding. It's the ultimate
drivers challenge.
Q. Being inside the cockpit of a Champ Car versus an F 1 car,
which you've done, which one is more violent, so to speak, and
is one smooth and kind of calm and the other one much more rough
and vibrations?
JUSTIN WILSON: They are both the same. I would say Formula 1 car
is a little bit more harsher at higher speeds because, you know,
when all the downforce is on all the car it is compressed and it
has no suspension. 150 miles an hour, there's zero suspension.
So it's a pretty harsh ride. It doesn't do your spine a lot of
But the Champ Car is a little bit more physical as far as you
have to manhandle these cars and stay on top of them. You can't
just sit back and let the car do the work.
Justin Wilson in his CDW sponsored car
LAT for Champ Car
Q. When you say "manhandle," you mean throw
the car a little bit, or does getting it sideways kill all the
JUSTIN WILSON: No, because on a slick tire, you have to push it
just over the edge of the grip, you have to be right on that
limit and just, you know, you're rocking forwards and backwards
on that limit. Whereas in the Formula 1 car, you have the groove
tires, so the car slides a little bit easier on the tires. On
the high speed corners, it's pretty hard to get close to the
limit because there's so much downforce. It's just a different
driving technique.
You know, in the Champ Car, in some corners, you can slide the
car. You get it into a four wheel drift, you can't see it from
outside the car, but inside the car, you know the whole thing is
sliding, and that's the quickest way through the corner. You set
yourself up as you enter the corner and you drift through the
corner and it's the quickest way. You know, it's corner to
corner, but that kind of comes down to technique and
Q. You have a new teammate now, Cristiano da Matta. How is
that working out?
JUSTIN WILSON: Pretty good. I think we're learning some things.
It's basically a third voice with myself and A.J. comments on
how the car feels and having Cristiano coming in. It gives us
another data point and more experience.
Q. Do you enjoy the same type of setup or are your setups
very different from each other?
JUSTIN WILSON: Pretty similar. He's still learning the exact
differences between our driving styles and therefore the
difference in the setup. We start this weekend very similar,
still pretty similar style. You know, I think if I find
something that's going to help him and he finds something that's
going to help me, ultimately that's good for the team.
Q. Are you as close (on setups) with Cristiano versus A.J. or
were all about the same?
JUSTIN WILSON: They are all about the same. There was times last
year where, you know, I found a setup on Friday and A.J. would
use that on Saturday. And I would use his setup on Sunday, so we
kind of evolved and vice versa.
In Mexico City, Friday, A.J. was on pole and I was fourth and
not really happy. So Friday night, I put his setup on, went out
and got pole on Saturday. So we did the same thing. Sometimes
we're very different, sometimes we're the same setup.
Q. Last year you won a couple races, you won Mexico City and
you also won Toronto. This year you've been knocking
on the door but you haven't quite got that win yet, has it been
a little frustrating?
JUSTIN WILSON: A little bit. We've been so close. Long Beach we
were second, but not really challenging. And Houston was a
struggle. Went to Monterrey and were right there. Milwaukee,
we're right there. Portland, we're right there. Cleveland we're
almost there. We felt we had the mileage to make that one happen
(a win). It's just missing that final little bit. Some weekends,
it's luck and some weekends, it's more mechanical. So hopefully
we can do that soon.
Q. You won here last year, so obviously you have a good setup
from last year. So far this weekend, I guess you qualified 2nd
for provisional pole, so looks like you're feeling pretty good,
do you think you can put it on pole today? [Later he did just
JUSTIN WILSON: Yeah, we're feeling pretty good. Yesterday we
were the quickest on the black tires, the standard tires. But it
didn't quite feel enough with the option. So we've still got a
little bit of work to do. We've been working on that overnight,
trying to understand our problems and we feel if we can find the
right answer for that, we're going to be setting the pace. So
this morning is going to be interesting.
Q. This morning will you be going out on blacks or reds?
JUSTIN WILSON: All blacks. We only get two option tires, so we
save those for qualifying.
Q. Can you test the reds in practice, so to speak, and then
run them in qualifying too?
JUSTIN WILSON: No.
Q. They lose their edge?
JUSTIN WILSON: Yeah, all the tires are best on that first run.
So, you know, after the first run, you basically knock off a
half second. That's what you have to deal with. You have to work
it out.
So we only really use them in qualifying. In Cleveland, I think
we used a set in warm-up, just to understand what was going on,
just to give us an understanding before we went for it. The
thing is, actually qualifying warm-up, we call that the second
qualifying. But most of the time, the set goes through
qualifying, and we opted to use one set yesterday, and that's
good if you get the pole; it's not so good if you miss it. So
it's a gamble we took. Last time we took it, it paid off. This
time it didn't. You know, we just have to work with that. Now we
still feel if we get everything right, we can do it on one set.
Q. In the race, you have to run one set stint on red tires,
JUSTIN WILSON: Yes.
Q. Would they be the ones you used from qualifying or would
they be a brand new set?
JUSTIN WILSON: We'll use the second one in today's qualifying,
so they will both have the same amount of laps on them. There's
no difference. Everyone's in the same boat.
Q. Hope you can repeat last year's performance and best of
JUSTIN WILSON: Thank you.
