Cook the Book: Homemade Sriracha
Randy Clemens' The Sriracha Cookbook begins with a recipe for Homemade Sriracha. It's one of those recipes that begs the question, why bother?
Sure, you can go out and buy a bottle of Sriracha for around $2.99, but doesn't making your own chili garlic sauce just sound like fun? I certainly think so. And if you've ever tried making hot sauce at home, you know the process is kind of thrilling.
We've tackled homemade Sriracha here before and ended up with some very authentic tasting results, but I figured this version from The Sriracha Cookbook was worth a try as well since it includes that all-important sugary element.
This particular version requires a bit of planning ahead since the chile paste needs to sit at room temperature for a whole week. This rest period gives the garlic and chiles a chance to mellow a bit, but doesn't compromise any of the heat. The sauce then simmers with a bit of vinegar, then it's puréed and passed though a sieve.
The finished sauce was much less thick and ketchupy that bottled Sriracha. It was much spicier and more tart, with the sugar and garlic elements sitting background. Really great hot sauce? Totally. But not really Sriracha.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of The Sriracha Cookbook to give away this week.

- Yield:2 cups
- 1 3/4 pounds red jalapeño peppers, stems removed and halved lengthwise
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder, plus more as needed
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar, plus more as needed
- Water, as needed
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the peppers, garlic, garlic powder, granulated sugar, salt, and brown sugar. Pulse until a coarse puree forms. Transfer to a glass jar, seal, and store at room temperature for 7 days, stirring daily.
After 1 week, pour the chili mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the vinegar and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Let the mixture cool, then puree in a food processor for 2 to 3 minutes, until a smooth, uniform paste forms. If the mixture is too thick to blend properly, feel free to adjust the consistency with a small amount of water.
Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer. Press on the solids with the back of a spoon to squeeze out every last bit of goodness you've been waiting a week to get. Adjust the seasoning and consistency of the final sauce, adding additional vinegar, water, salt, granulated sugar, or garlic powder to suit your taste. Transfer to a glass jar, seal, and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Every year millions of people around the world suffer from symptoms of the common cold: sniffling, sneezing, stuffy head, fever, headache, body aches and so on. What happens? They run for the nearest OTC: DayQuil, NyQuil, Sudafed or maybe they try herbal remedies of some sort. They continue to go to work, school, or play despite knowing that all they should do is just rest. Well the same is true of our beloved fitness industry. Each year thousands of clubs look forward to a blitz of new members, only to quickly catch what I like to call a "cold." What's that? It's the common mistake club owners and managers make every year—newmemberitis. They bank on new members to establish revenues and cash flow for continued success. They experience the stress every month thereafter of selling new memberships by the truckload. They're miserable if goals aren't met; the sales team is miserable because they aren't making any money, and the whole club catches the cold.
I literally get sick thinking about how this normal routine basically destroys club chemistry and the potential to capitalize on new memberships. So, I'm going to briefly highlight a few simple rules to help your club avoid catching "cold" this year.
Preventive Medicine. Washing our hands regularly, eating right, taking vitamins and exercising all help us avoid getting sick each year. Try it for your business now. Break the cycle of selling new memberships. If you're a new club, let's say under three years old, you should still be focused on growing that membership base. But past that three-year mark, you need to really be focused on keeping those current members. We call it member retention, but that phrase is getting old. Let's look at it this way: avoid member attrition. Sounds a lot worse, right? Because it is. It doesn't matter how many new members you have coming in the front door if the back door is left wide open for everyone else to walk out. Do the basics and do them well: a spotless facility, well-maintained equipment, great and friendly staff and so on. Master these basics before you try to explore the other areas involved in avoiding member attrition.
Get Help. Hire the right kind of help that is. Poor staff can bring down a facility quicker than dynamite. Young kids at the reception desk talking on cell phones, not in a standard uniform, reading trashy magazines, surfing the Internet…ZAP! You need smiling faces who offer a great experience every time a member comes in. Someone you can count on to multi-task and really step up to the plate. And, you'll have to pay for them. Good help is not hard to find…they're hard to keep. Make sure that once you find the right staff, you do things to keep them around. What types of incentives do you offer? Is there an employee-of-the-month award? These are things to ponder to keep the "staff infection" from hitting your place.
Plan Ahead. A sales force that is motivated only by new membership sales is worthless. Set some goals for them in other areas, for instance their rate of retention or buddy referrals. Make sure they are team players with one single club goal in mind. If there is too much pressure on an individual level, sales people tend to get cut throat. And when there is a strategic yearly marketing plan in place, everyone is on the same page and knows exactly what to do. This marketing plan should be developed for more than just the sales department. What about those precious current members? Plan a marketing strategy for other areas like personal training, group exercise, child care or the juice bar. Tweak it as necessary, but planning ahead is the best preventive medicine.
Don't catch a club cold this year. Do what you can now to break the habit of focusing solely on getting new members. Conquer the basics so you can conquer your market.

We have all three of our nut milk bags pictured here. The regular size is just included so that you can see the comparison. The large size pictured in the middle is approximately 4 times the size of our regular one (the small one pictured) and the jumbo commercial size is about 8 times the size or more (the largest one pictured). The bottoms of these open up and square off with the sides. The large one can easily fit in a 2 gallon container and the jumbo can fit into a 5 gallon bucket. These bags do not have draw strings. Secure top by holding them closed with your hands.
Dimensions: 18 3/4" x 19"
Chef Bliss Tip: Add a little kelp or dulse to your nut milk, get the minerals going, also 1 T agave nectar per quart rounds out the flavor of nuts blended with water, and a pinch of sea salt helps too.
You can also use this as a sprouting bag but our hemp sprouting bag is a much better choice for that.

Human Interest
Companies are finally wising up to the idea that their most valuable assets are their people.
Six years ago, Canada Post, Canada's national postal service and seventh largest employer, with 70,000 employees, was under fire. Increasing competition from private carrier companies, such as United Parcel Service Inc. and FedEx Corp., was eating into profits, and the company's proprietary systems were too slow to handle the rapid change in the industry. "We started to see our growth rates dry up," says Jamie Esler, a general manager in the human resources department at Canada Post.
To make matters worse, the HR department was burdened with legacy systems that didn't communicate with one another, and that were too difficult for line-of-business managers to use, which made scheduling and payroll, as well as other employee management, an unwieldy challenge. Executives knew they needed to take drastic measures to bring the organization into the new millennium. "When it came down to replacing those legacy systems with an integrated HR suite, we realized that there were enough inefficiencies in the existing systems that the new systems would pay for themselves," Esler says. So the company turned to SAP to overhaul its HR, and made a human capital management (HCM) system an integrated part of the package. Today, Canada Post's HR department digitally tracks employee skills, training priorities, workforce scheduling and a host of other employee-related issues. And by bringing some previously outsourced HR functions back in-house, the company is saving millions every year.
Canada Post's experience with human capital management software is fairly typical. Yet, while saving a lot of money is never a bad thing, realization of the full promise of HCMthat is, actually turning employee databases into strategic tools that build stronger teams and drive profitabilityis still hard to come by. "We're at the very early stages with HCM," says Craig Symons, a principal analyst at Forrester Research Inc. "Really only a few innovative companies are getting their hands around it right now."
The market figures bear that out. According to Gartner Inc., the HCM market is only about $1 billion at the moment. The slow adoption is not all that surprising. The HR department has always been considered an administrative cost center, and the development of human resources management systems (HRMS) that automate many HR functionsand the fact that almost all of these services are now readily outsourcedhas many executives wondering what strategic purpose their HR department now serves, and why they should spend anything to upgrade it.
Cutting costs, like in the case of Canada Post, is the easy way to sell HCM to upper management. No one is denying that HCM software can be a valuable cost-cutting toolsuch as driving the costs out of e-learning programs and creating the ability to streamline HR operations such as payroll and provisioning.
The more difficult argument to make is that new HCM software applications can provide greater insight into employees' skills and leadership abilities, and thereby aid in the strategic planning and development of teams.
It has yet to widely prove itself as a truly strategic business tool, and any CIO should think twice before making this significant investment of both time and money.

IT plays a supportingyet criticalrole in any HCM implementation.
HCM covers some broad terrain, including workforce planning (forecasting growth or downsizing), acquisition (recruitment and procurement of part-time or temporary help), management (training, performance management and succession planning) and optimization (putting the right people in the right jobs at the right time)all functions one would naturally assume fall under the purview of HR. But while an HCM strategy clearly needs an HR executive to champion it, its success will hinge largely upon the IT department's ability to create a solid partnership that delivers on business requirements. "The CIO needs to support the HR executive in terms of how technology contributes to his or her department," says Gartner research director Jim Holincheck. "HR often isn't aware of all the opportunities out there from a technology perspective."
When a company does embark on an HCM implementation, it is imperative that the CIO first sit down with HR and have a candid discussion. "You want to know what skills your employees currently have, what the likely career progression is for them, training schedules, performance reviews and so on. This helps managers make intelligent decisions about employees and what they should be doing," says Forrester's Symons. The discussion should go beyond collecting employee data, and into applying analytics for business value. The goal is to have one repository that contains all employee information so that workforce analytics are possible. Creating a corporate portal that lets employees and their managers view their own data, such as their medical benefits, vacation time, e-learning opportunities and recent performance reviews should also be a priority, analysts say. This will cut down HR administrative costs and help justify the less tangible benefits of HCM.
|The Talent Management Lifecycle
|Getting and keeping good employees requires ongoing management, support and training. Here's how it's done:
Step 1: The ability to plan for workforce changes, make the best use of the various sources of talent for the organization and instill a talent planning process to ensure continuity of process, culture and strategic direction.
Step 2: The ability to attract, recruit and select the best talent for the organization.
Step 3: The use of both formal and informal training, development and communications systems to further enhance talent throughout the organization.
Step 4: The ability to ensure that the right people, with the right skills and knowledge, are used on the right jobs at the right time.
Step 5: The ability to retain and actively engage top talent and the people who are crucial to the organization's success.
Step 6: The use of different evaluation measures and techniques to improve and assess the impact of human capital within the enterprise.
(Back to Step 1)
Source: Principles of Human Capital Management, David c. Forman, 2005
As usual, addressing the company's biggest areas of pain first is recommended. "If your organization is growing, for example, you might want to focus on talent management and recruiting," says Symons.
That was the case at LandAmerica Financial Group Inc., a full-service real estate transaction provider based in Richmond, Va., with more than 12,000 employees. Since 2000, LandAmerica has grown revenues from $1.8 billion to $3.4 billion, acquiring a number of companies along the way. "As our organization grows, we really have to use our human capital assets to effectively deliver new products and services to our customers," says Carol Anderson, senior vice president and director of talent and learning resources.
LandAmerica's HCM efforts began in 2003 with the launch of a rudimentary talent management program meant to assess the company's overall strengths and weaknesses. Because the executive team was already behind HR's efforts, Anderson used them as her first subjects. "We took a fairly high-level inventory of our leadership group, and we soon realized that we should look at some technology to help us look more granularly at that data," including how managers were achieving business goals and how well executives were aligned with the company's corporate values.
To help the HR department figure out exactly what a formal HCM system should include, the IT department built a small proprietary HCM system using SQL before partnering with HCM software provider Softscape Inc. "Our managers could type text in, and it gave us a quick and dirty inventory of employee skills," she says. Today, Anderson is working to move performance and talent management online for all of the company's 12,000 employees by 2007, and plans to move into the next phase of the rollout this year, which will include assessments of the company's top 300 leaders, followed by all managers in 2006.
Though her early experience with HCM has been the simple automation of basic HR tasks, Anderson hopes the effort will lead to better management of employee development and, ultimately, corporate growth. But, thus far, it remains the unfulfilled promise of HCM. "If we can get data that shows that in this particular region we have a pocket of folks who could use some additional training on, say, goal-setting, we can hone in on that and target our training so we can make our managers stronger," she says. "That will lead to improved business performance."

There are some success stories, but because there are no end-to-end systems, implementation can be treacherous.
One company that has enjoyed some strategic success through its use of HCM software is WellPoint Inc., one of the nation's largest health-benefits companies, with over 38,000 employees, and $37 billion in revenues. HCM has been de rigeur in the WellPoint HR department since 1998, says staff vice president of human resources information systems Chuck Moore. Back then, the company was experiencing unhealthy employee turnover that cost roughly $60 million each year. "This is a real numbers-oriented company, and employee churn was an issue," he says.
WellPoint partnered with PeopleSoft to install HCM software, all the while talking to employees to identify trouble spotssuch as managers who might need additional training, or ensuring that important skills didn't walk out the door with departing employees. The data was added to a repository that could be aggregated and analyzedand action was taken on the results. In addition to adding training courses, managers' bonuses were based partly on turnover reduction. The company also unveiled an annual employee survey of roughly 100 questions on everything from job satisfaction to their perceptions of HR. The results are presented to the executive team and managers, who in turn use the information to make procedural changes.
For example, one survey revealed that employees felt they had limited job advancement potential because of a rule that required them to get permission from their managers to apply for another job inside the company. After changing the rule, internal promotions increased by roughly 15 percent, Moore says. And within three years, employee churn was reduced by half.
Since 1998, WellPointwhich has grown from 7,000 employees in 1997 to 38,000 in 2004has added several modules to its HCM system, including self-service benefits administration, an employee portal and succession planning software.
Moore claims that the company's growth has been significantly aided by its HCM program. Since putting the system in place, he says, "our churn has gone down every year, our satisfaction has gone up every year, and every year we have exceeded the previous year's profitability. Those lines are all going in the same direction."
The success that WellPoint has found in HCM came over a long period of time and required quite a bit of juggling. The succession planning module, for example, wasn't offered by PeopleSoft; Moore had to find a separate vendor to provide it. "I don't think there's any one vendor out there that can deliver end-to-end HCM. The large ERP companies have been traditional providers of HRMS systems and are adding HCM modules into their system, but they're not as mature as those from other players," says Symons of Forrester Research.

: Value">
HCM promises to deliver operational efficiencies, but the strategic benefits are still elusive.
Unlike WellPoint, most companies cannot boast that their HCM rollouts have resulted in increased revenues. But well-run HCM systems can reap big cost-cutting rewards.
The savings have been exceptionally clear at Canada Post. In addition to creating an employee portal that allows workers to manage a number of their own benefits, the company brought its payroll back in-house, eliminating the cost of outsourcing and reducing its existing payroll department by 20 percent. Creating a national online network that gives managers a uniform way to track overtime pay and absenteeism has shaved more than $9 million dollars a year since it was implemented in 2003.
As HCM software matures, the strategic benefits may yet materialize. At the moment, however, enterprises will have to settle for simple cost savings. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Let it be known that on this day, December Seventh, 2013 that Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Saint Nicholas, or simply, as the chorus of small children who lined the jetties and docks of Rockport, Massachusetts exclaimed, "Santa!, It's Santa Claus!" , came to town.
This jaded reporter who has been numbed by the commercialization of Christmas, the War on Christmas, the War on the War on Christmas, the Black Friday mobs rushing the Best Buys and Walmarts to claw at presents that are supposed to assure the winner a gob of Christmas cheer, finds himself on Tuna Wharf in Rockport recharging his Christmas cheer batteries with the true meaning of Christmas. Little kids screaming their heads off as Santa rides the Freemantle Doctor into the harbor.
And not to take anything away from Santa as his job on Christmas is a huge one but this year I would like to point out the Rockport Santa production would be nothing if it wasn't for all the elves who do all the hard work getting Santa in the right spot at the right time. Who would light the tree in Dock Square if Santa were still sitting out on a buoy off Jefferys Basin? So without further ado, just a few of the elves who made the Rockport Santa production possible:
The Rockport Harbormaster had a boatful of Elves:
The Coast Guard Elves were scurrying about but here are a few:
And last but not least, the Freemantle Doctor Elves:
Santa pays these elves squat but they all went home with something more important than presents or money or even the hot cider and doughnuts and everything else that people were enjoying over in Dock Square as they were hard at work in the cold and wind making sure that Santa made it to ride the fire truck into the Square. They boated home in the dark with the warm feeling in their hearts that only a cheering throng of children can bestow, Christmas Cheer. Even the Rubber Duck got a little emotional but I promised her I would post no photos of her blubbering.

I have touched on Battleground (BG) communications before. I would suggest it is hard to find any blogger talking about any BG strat with out mentioning communications.
The same goes with raiding of course, which is the reason Vent is often required.
The same goes with Arenas, silence is deadly.
Even PuG 5 mans benefit from communication. Sure you don't need it so much these days, but it never hurts.
In an ideal world when you enter a BG you are in a premade using vent. Maybe you have the WoW BG voice option on, so at least you can quickly hear, maybe even respond to peoples observations.
Most BGs aren't ideal of course. More likely than not you are there solo, playing for the team, but without communication you probably feel like an island.
Who likes to chat?
It might surprise you to know I talk a lot. In RL, in blog posts, in guild chat, trade chat, Vent and even (most importantly for this post) in BGs.
I don't think most people are like me. I'm not sure why, maybe they are afraid to stick their heads out. Maybe the don't talk much in RL either.
In BGs I think they are less likely to talk, rather fume in silence at the lack of support, the lack of direction.
So today I'm going to share a proven winning strategy for BGs, one that works in any BG, for anyone, for everyone. It will help to turn a rout into a victory and a victory into domination.
The strategy is...
Lots of it!
Communicate when:
- There are incomings to your node
- There are incomings to other nodes
- When your node is clear
- When you see someone idle that could go somewhere else
- When it's time to push
- When it's time to retreat
- When your happy
- When your sad
- When you are about to win
- When you are about to lose
- To thank people for helping
- To thank people for communicating
As I say, I communicate a lot and I started to notice a few things.
Not talking.
As a general rule, if I wasn't talking and neither was anyone else – we lost.
Those days I came home from work exhausted from meetings, those days when I would pick Odin up from childcare and he would pop Heroism and talk non-stop for the next 2 hours, those days are the days I often find myself silent for the first BG or two.
Unless someone was talking, you could bet your mortgage that we would lose. Even Strand of the Ancients, which most people now seem to understand, would be a miserable defeat. We'd take ten minutes to not capture the relic, the Horde would take 2 unopposed minutes.
However, if someone was talking, once someone broke the ice, even if I didn't feel like it, I was soon talking.
Popping Heroism on the vocal chords
If there was some good talking going on, it breed more talking, people paid attention to chat and there was a good chance of victory.
One of many examples (of me not shutting up in a BG) was in an AB a while back. I have seen this repeated time after time.
The first few minutes was just Gnomer chat.. there wasn't a strat, people just went to their favorite conflict point.
I went to LM (my favorite conflict point).
As soon as I got there I called out the numbers (4 inc LM), once it was clear I called LM clear, then I've got LM, push farm.
from then on, I called everything.
3 Inc BS, 1 inc LM, LM clear – thanks for the help, Looks like 1 at Farm, Farm lost etc…
What I noticed then was that others were calling their positions, the numbers, the dangers, the opportunities.
Not only that, but people were reading.
Not only were they reading , but people were responding.
Not only were they reading & responding, but they were expecting, relying on the chat feedback.
At one point I headed to Farm to help out, it was in trouble, I called it, we cleared it, I called that too. Then it was in trouble again… then the penny dropped.
You see we cleared Farm, but I slipped up.. I forgot to mention it was clear! (Shame, Gnomer, Shame!)
So someone ASKED!
Gnome, how's Farm?
People weren't just reading chat, or just responding to chat, they were relying on chat to help form their decisions.
- Where do I attack?
- Where do I defend?
- Which base should I just stay at and protect?
People love to talk and listen
It all became clear then. People love to talk, they love to listen. They love to be useful – which means having the right data to make the right decision. People love the news, and how it effects them. People will respond to a call to arms once they are aware of it and constructive chat will get everyone's attention in the end.
So next time you head to a BG prepare yourself to talk.
I use a chat tab addon called Prat. One of the things I love about it is that it remembers your last used chat channel. So as soon as I enter a BG I type:
/bg Hey everyone, let's kick their butts!
I do this cause I want to kick their butts, but also so my BG chat channel is primed and ready.
As I race to the 1st node, I type out *space* at *intended node*. eg: *space* at LM. I then hit the Home key, which takes me back to the space and as I approach the node I quickly type in the quantity where the space is, hit enter and it's KILLING TIME!
If I die, I quickly type in how many are left. (3 still at LM)
If we win the node, I will call it as clear LM Clear
If I decide to hold the node I /say I've got this, you guys push on (I say this in /SAY as it's really only important to those in my area)
Then, the next thing I do is prepare an incoming message eg: *space* inc LM. That way, as soon as I see the inc, I can shoot of a message and get down to defending.
An important thing to remember is that you can scroll back through your old messages, you you only need to create these messages once, then reuse them. In my case I just have to press Enter & UP/DOWN arrow to scroll through them. Quick, efficient information to your team.
Engage your team mates before you engage the enemy
Give it a go. It wont work every BG, but you will find those BGs were useful communication is flowing are the ones with the wins or the near wins. They will be the good -> great BG encounters, where even if you lose, you know you worked as a team.
Remember that even if the game appears to be lost 1/2 way through, good communications can still win it (this happened big time over the weekend). Just because the opposition takes an early lead, just because 1/3 of them are from the same server, doesn't make them a premade – they may have just gotten lucky!
This is the perfect opportunity to use your superior communications against their brute force… what was that saying.. the Quill is mightier than the sword?
Gnomer and Out!

So while I was busy baking today, it dawned on me that I had chicken breasts defrosting in the fridge and no real plan for them. I wanted to do something relatively fast, as I had spent enough time in the kitchen today. So, I decided to make a grilled chicken fettucine alfredo. Actually, to be technically correct, I used spaghetti noodles, not fettucine, b/c I didn't have enough for everyone. 😉 This meal was simple, yummy and quick. An added bonus…I can keep the chicken separate from the noodles & sauce for Miss Picky (that would be Hannah, if you hadn't guessed).
Grilled Chicken Fettucine Alfredo
3-4 boneless skinless chicken breast
Dry Rub (Garlic Powder, Basil, Salt & Pepper)
1 Jar Classico Alfredo Sauce (It is GF, as are all of Classico's Sauces)
Brown Rice Pasta (I used Trader Joe's Spaghetti tonight)
1. Pound chicken to tenderize it. Season both sides with dry rub.
2. Warm Sauce on stove
3. Bring water to a boil for pasta (add a little EVOO to keep pasta from sticking)
4. Grill chicken 6-8 minutes per side
5. Boil pasta & drain when done
6. Top pasta with alfredo sauce & sliced grilled chicken
7. Serve with veggies & salad.
Here is a picture of my plate. I served with Parmesan Broiled Tomatoes and Roasted Brussels Sprouts (which may have been roasted a little too long due to my not paying attention..LOL):
For dessert, see the post right after this….Buckeyes & Baking. YUM!!!

4 Generations
Narciso Barcenilla, mestizo Sangley, was the third (recorded) Cebu City-born person to become gobernadorcillo of Carcar, after Roman Sarmiento and Domingo Gemperoso. My earliest direct record for his family as of this writing is the 1851 Baptism of his daughter Teodora. I'm sure earlier records could be found, and I remember there was one in which as Narciso de Jesus he was a padrino (godfather) in an earlier baptism.
The surname Barcenilla, along with those of other city families Alcorcon, Alcudia, Aldave, Alegrado, Gemperoso, and others maybe, appear to belong to Carcar alphabetical surnames (Al-, Bar-, Cam-, Can-, Day-, Em-, Fan-, Gempe-, etc.) and so must have been assigned to the respective families in Carcar already, as indeed these families were already settled here at the time. But then again, these surnames may also have been given to their families in the city, although chances of that are slim considering the evidence available for those surnames in Cebu City.
A Cebu City society writer wrote about a Pedro Cui-Timoteo Barcenilla debt recovery and made of it as if there was this friction between the city sangleys and the local folks of Carcar, thinking (although we do not know what made him conclude thus) that Barcenilla was a native indio. Friction between city and native folks, we can't be sure, but certainly not between Cui and Barcenilla because they were both mestizos Sangleys from Parian. On the other hand, it must have been just the Sangleys who were fighting over the spoils which was Carcar, culminating in the Noel-Mercado political rivalry.
Actually, the Claveria decree also provided that individuals known to be brothers or sons be given the same surname–for that was really the purpose of all the name-giving. Thus, if these families knew what their city family were given, they'd have been entitled to use that surname. Why these families chose a new surname to start in Carcar is intriguing: either they had no more contact with their city relatives and did not know the new surnames over there, or themselves did not want to be identified at all with the old ones (or vice versa), or just wanted to turn over a new leaf. However, the Sarmientos used their city family name. As must have Sagolili, because that name does not fit in with Carcar surnames (see also Surnames).
Perhaps the most well-known of the family is Anunciacion Barcenilla-Aznar, daughter of Judge Leocadio Barcenilla shown below. With her husband and fellow pharmacist Matias Aznar, founded what is now the Southwestern University in 1946 in Cebu City and every one who's passed through its portals knows her name.
Mauricio Flores, a son of Jorgea Barcenilla Alcorisa and Nemesio Flores, may be one of the earliest Carcaranon PMAers (wartime Class 1944). Mauricio was a long-time instructor at his alma mater in the 50s. His son Joseph graduated from the US Military Academy at West Point in 1974 and joined the Philippine Air Force.
And yet, in the 2010 Voters list for Carcar, there are only 11 voters surnamed Barcenilla.

MADISON, Wis. -- Brigham Young senior quarterback Tanner Magnum and senior linebacker Zayne Anderson were sidelined with injuries last season when Wisconsin routed the Cougars 40-6 at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah.
They'll get to help avenge the loss on Saturday as No. 6 Wisconsin (2-0) hosts BYU (1-1) at Camp Randall Stadium, but Cougars coach Kalani Sitake said the Badgers are a solid bunch.
"They're stronger," Sitake told the Deseret News. "They actually have guys that started against us that are backups now. They have more experience on the line of scrimmage. They're big and they're physical. So this will be a great test for us.
"We'll see how much our guys have developed in a year and how much they can hang in there at the line of scrimmage. I'm really looking forward to the test. There (are) a lot of guys on this team that really want to get to this game and see what happens."
BYU managed 81 yards rushing and 111 yards passing against Wisconsin. In two games, the Badgers defense has allowed 201 yards rushing and 315 yards passing in two victories. They've only given up two passing touchdowns.
The Badgers defense will aim to contain Mangum, who completed 22 of 41 passes for 196 yards and one touchdown in BYU's 21-18 setback against Cal last week.
The Cougars run game is bolstered by senior running back Squally Canada, who has 40 carries on 154 yards and two touchdowns through two games.
Sitake also would like to see consistency from Cougars junior safety Dayan Ghanwoloku, who picked up a fumble and ran 36 yards for a touchdown against the Golden Bears. But Ghanwoloku was woeful with a coverage assignment that allowed a 52-yard pass for a touchdown.
Wisconsin junior quarterback Alex Hornibrook and sophomore running back Jonathan Taylor were catalysts in the 2017 victory. Hornibrook completed 18 of 19 passes for 256 yards and four touchdowns.
Taylor had 18 carries for 148 yards and one touchdown against the Cougars.
Taylor is fresh off a record game, rushing for a career high with 253 yards on 33 carries and three touchdowns in Wisconsin's 45-14 nonconference win over New Mexico. He endured despite a lost fumble for a second straight game.
Hornibrook said he's confident with Taylor's ability to push past his mistakes. Through two games, Taylor has 51 carries for 403 yards and five touchdowns.
"I think he just trusts himself," Hornibrook said. "If something happens and when adversity strikes, he's ready to go," Hornibrook said. "I think a lot of guys are like that on this team."
The Badgers also received important contributions in the air against the Lobos from junior wide receiver A.J. Taylor, who collected five catches for a career-best 134 yards and one touchdown.
Wisconsin likely will get a boost in its receiving game with the return of junior wide receiver Danny Davis, who was suspended for two games by Badgers coach Paul Chryst. Davis was in a Madison apartment with junior wide receiver Quintez Cephus, who will stand trial on two charges of sexual assault stemming from an April 22 incident.
Cephus is suspended indefinitely from the team and learned about his trial situation on Tuesday afternoon in a Dane County court. He faces one felony charge of second-degree sexual assault of an intoxicated victim and a second felony charge of third-degree sexual assault.
Chryst said he's been pleased with how Davis, who has practiced with the team, has reacted during his suspension. He was not charged with a crime in the incident.
"I'm proud of the way he took it and learned," said Chryst of Davis, who caught 26 passes for 418 yards and five touchdowns last season. "I've been proud of his response."

Olympus, Sony Tie Up
Olympus Corp. said Friday it will raise ¥49 billion ($631.6 million) by issuing new shares to Sony Corp., sealing a deal that will help bolster a balance sheet severely weakened by a $1.5 billion accounting scandal.
With the capital tie-up, Sony will effectively become Olympus's biggest shareholder, with a stake of 11.5 percent in terms of voting rights. The two companies also plan by the end of December to set up a joint venture to develop medical devices and to study collaboration in compact digital cameras.

Another Flower Headband - New Pattern
Hi Knitters,
Well, after years of seeing these adorable flower headbands all over the place and having my daughters request that I a make them one, I finally sat down and designed one myself. It is not an earthshaking design and I didn't reinvent the wheel, but I did try to spice up my version with some fun techniques that may be new to some of you (if not that's all the better). I threw in some detailed instructions for short rows and a sewn bind off and a few different sizes for the headband and a completely customizable flower.
There you have it! My girls are in love with these headbands. Peachy likes the natural version and TC likes the colorful Noro version. Go figure.
120 yards of chunky weight yarn (samples in Rowan British Sheep Breeds - leftover from the Owls sweater, and Noro Kochoran)
US size 10 needles, 6mm, 16-inch circular and 24-inch circular (the longer needles are optional but make things easier) or the size to obtain gauge
Gauge is 3.75 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch.
And you'll need about one afternoon or evening to make a beautiful headband! It is a fast and furious and simple project.
A little front angle for you....
The Noro Kochoran version...
TC wanted a lining for extra warmth so I found a headband that I purchased at Jo Ann's for $1.00 in a matching shade of pink. I see these cheap-o headbands all over, even in drugstores and grocery stores. I took a matching thread and stitched it in leaving enough give so that it stretches nicely.
One note, TC wanted a bigger flower so I added a 10 petal layer to her finished version. This version has a smaller flower.
Go big or go home (with your flower that is).
Now, I want you to know that there are pages of similar projects on Ravelry like this one. There are even many free versions of headbands with flowers. You may want to check these out.
I am making this pattern available for an extra-low price of $2.50.
And for this price you get:
3 sizes: small child (large child, teen/adult); 16-inch (18-inch, 20-inch) circumference (remember to have 1-2 inches of negative ease when selecting a size)
Technique instructions
A customizable revamped flower pattern (similar to the felted flower in Itty-Bitty Hats) - it is only 3 rows per petal layer!
An instructional video for the flower - remember this one?
And a whole lot of fun, I hope! I made three of these and had the pattern completely memorized including the flower. It is that simple. It's my new go-to gift.
Click here for the Ravelry project page link!
I forgot how much I love making these flowers!
For some other cool flowers to embellish your headband check out this pattern by Kristin Nicholas.
The button-free headband gets narrower in the back of the neck for comfort. This project is a great way to use up leftovers from other projects. You could stripe yarns and use different yarns for the flower, too. Mix it up!
The pattern is in my Ravelry Pattern Store and I am putting it up in the new Craftsy.com pattern store as well (I'll let you know when it's available over there). Yarn shop owners, by the way, I have made my Ravelry Pattern Shop patterns available for wholesale if you are interested in that. I think you have to be a pre-approved shop but definitely check into it if that is something you'd like to do.
Here is the Ravelry button to click to purchase the pattern for Another Flower Headband, if you are interested:
I'll be back with my Milk Cow pattern from Knit Circus. The rights have reverted back to me so I can sell the pattern in my shop now.
Also, a couple of you left comments about a Pinterest invite but you didn't leave your email. I need your email address to invite you.
Take care, sweet Knitters, and keep those ears warm!
best, susie

LMC Hosts Honor Flight Reception
From Cola Daily.
Lexington Medical Center trustee Dr. Tripp Jones only had to look for a moment to see what inspiring and service-minded people had gathered at the hospital on Tuesday.
"Don't you wish we could take this group up to Washington and run Congress with them?" he asked about the crowd of local veterans.
As Jones explained, the veterans and their guests had come to LMC to be treated to a special screening of a short film. Not only did the piece share their stories of personal military service, but it also featured many of the veterans' on-the-spot interviews from the recent Honor Flight.

I have a favor to ask you…
Click this link here (then come back, I have some more pleading to do!).
You see I really want some of Sylus' artwork… So here I am grovelling…
I figure that if the 700 of you that came here yesterday go to his site, 2 things will happen:
- He wont be able to ignore the power of the Gnome, and
- He will poop himself more that his other important RL project… Lily
I don't want any arty nekkid pictures mind you, so no sitting around in the cold in my undies waiting for him to sketch me out, or get the perfect curve to my mustache.
I'm prepared to undergo torture, even dissection if it means that there is a portrait of Gnomeaggedon hanging on the walls of the Home of the Gnome!
Hell, feed me to the fish and mount me on the wall if you need to…
I might even be convinced to lie back and think of England… just as long as he puts his Copic markers away while we do what needs to be done (Do you think he will mind if I close my eyes?)
Just don't make me prostitute myself to get the 35 old pieces I need…
After all, my Mechanostrider is a better mount than I am…
So please, please, beg, grovel, please… go:
- To For The Horde, and tell them Gnomeaggedon sent you to make sure the competition works out in his favor.
- Go to The World of Sylus, drive his page hits to insane level.. ust make sure he knows you dropped my to sing my praises.
- Go to Saresa's new naughty tree blog and ooooh ahhh appreciatively at the Artwork created by Sylus.. Go On! She's a fellow Aussie, but she lives out past the black stump, so I am sure she would love some visitors.
- Go to your Guild's website, your blog control panel… the walls of your office building (no I didn't seriously suggest that) and spread the word about Sylus' Etsy site. Just make sure they all know to mention my name… better yet, just give them the URL to this post and tell them… Ohh I can tell them… Oh Hai.. when you go to place your order for the gift Gnomeaggedon you are sending me… just remember to mention my name so I get a freegie!)
I beg you… I grovel to you…
Squidly thanks you…
From the bottom of his bony ribcage
We thank you while grovelling to make this come true,,,
I would like to thank my Mum, My Dad and my thoughtful and generous readers 😉
Go on.. you know you want to purchase an image like this… and you know you want one for me too…
Just think, if only 10% of the people that came here yesterday commission a piece of artwork from Sylus, he will be able to buy a 2nd WoW account (or is that 3rd) for Lily, and she will be farming before the end of the year!
Now hurry off… I have given you plenty of links to use to let Sylus know that we are watching him.
Gnomer and Out!

The prison-sentenced former mayoral campaign treasurer for City Comptroller John Liu filed a notice of appeal Wednesday in hopes the court will reverse its conviction.
Jia "Jenny" Hou, 26, was sentenced to 10 months in prison on October 10 for attempting to commit wire fraud, making false statements and obstructing justice in a straw donor scheme.
"Jenny Hou is not guilty of any crime, not factually and not legally," said her lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt.
"I believe she is a scapegoat," Lefcourt added, "onto whom all of the limitations of the Campaign Finance Board, the ills of raising money for political campaigns, have unfairly been placed."
Federal officials said Hou and another convicted Liu aide, Xing Wu "Oliver" Pan, evaded Campaign Finance Board restrictions that limit donor contributions to citywide candidates to $4,950.
The pair used straw donors, prosecutors said, or individuals who illegally make political contributions in their own names with money they have received from others.
Hou was caught offering to reimburse an individual for donations well-above the allowed amount during a series of instant messages on July 14, court records show.
Prosecutors said she also instructed campaign volunteers on how to imitate the handwriting of campaign donors on the contribution forms in order to make it appear official.
But Lefcourt said there was no evidence Hou knew anyone was being reimbursed for donations made at a May 9 fundraiser.
The warrant obtained from Google to access her e-mails was also "not legally sufficient and should never have been issued," he said.
"The conviction of Jenny Hou cannot stand," the attorney said.
Hou also failed to give up documents with identities of several campaign contributors in response to subpoenas and lied about producing them, according to court records.
"I'm not in the least bit surprised that Jenny would appeal even in light of receiving what many consider a light sentence," Liu said in a statement. "She is a person of strong mind and uncompromising character. I believe in her and remain hopeful that she will be vindicated."

Martha, Keith Olbermann, and WKRP in Cincinnati's Infamous Turkey Drop
MSNBC talking head Keith Olbermann was on The Martha Stewart Show today, and the two got around to talking about Sarah Palin's turkey pardon/slaughter. (Leave it to Olbermann to bring up Palin.) Jezebel's got video of the exchange (Martha: "We know they get slaughtered for Thanksgiving, but that was an especially gruesome scene back there").
We've already talked about the Palin turkey video. No, what we're interested in today is Olbermann's WKRP in Cincinnati reference. If you remember the show, you may remember the episode Olbermann refers to, in which the hapless fictional station does a live turkey giveaway for an on-air Thanksgiving promo. They decide to drop the live birds from a plane for lucky listeners to capture. Thing is ... turkeys don't fly. Video of the WKRP scene, after the jump.
'WKRP in Cincinnati,' Turkeys Can't Fly

When people complain about the high cost of genealogy education, I give them a puzzled look. Some of my favorite educational resources are freely available to anyone with an Internet connection, and most of the others are fairly low-cost.
One resource I use frequently is the Board for Certification of Genealogists web site. Amongst other things, it contains a section of articles reproduced online that were published in past issues of their newsletter, OnBoard, and written by certified genealogists. Some of the articles are clearly geared toward professional researchers, but most are skill builders that anyone can use. Topics covered include using and analyzing specific records, transcribing, note taking, genealogical writing, constructing proof arguments, and source citations.
There are nearly three dozen articles online at the moment. Even researchers who have no intention of becoming certified should find something of use there.
