Check out the world without ever leaving your chair, Street View has come to Google Earth
The Google Earth application has received a major update today, and with version 7.1.1 comes a trio of great changes. The most obvious, and definitely the coolest, is that you can now zoom the whole way down to Street View to check out the world at street level. Long a staple on Google Maps for Android and the web, this is a nice addition.
Besides Street View, Google has improved the search functionality, made directions allowing you to see a 3D view of transit, walking, bike and driving directions. Another major change comes to the UI, which now offers a slide-out panel from the left side much like the Google+ app.
Google Earth has come a long way, and it's nice to see an app that can take advantage of today's high-powered phones and their processing muscle. If you've never tried it, or if it's been a while since you had a look, grab it from the Google Play link above.

Local teams to conclude regular season in Week 9
One month ago, the Britton Deerfield football team found itself in a predicament.
The Patriots had just suffered their third loss and needed to win out to achieve the six victories required for automatic playoff qualification.
No margin for error.
"I told the kids, 'Now we have a four-game schedule, and we have to go 4-0," BD coach DJ Lutz said. "We felt we were good enough to win four games in a row."
BD has since posted three wins and can punch its playoff ticket in the regular-season finale Friday at Deerfield against Tri-County Conference opponent Morenci. The Patriots seek their second straight playoff appearance.
BD (5-3, 4-2 TCC) has outscored opponents during its win streak 106-29.
"We're playing out best football," Lutz said. "The kids have come to practice focused every week and have approached every game like a playoff game. We're riding a pretty good high right now, so we need to keep it going."
Morenci (3-5, 1-5) will face a Patriots offense that averaged 318 rushing yards the past three weeks.
Tailback Leighton Merritt has shined behind guards Landon Handy and Calvin Shields, tackles Devin Gruber and Jordan Robinson and tight ends Jordan Osbun, Brett Taylor and DJ Gotz.
"We haven't had our full starting offensive line since Week 2," Lutz said. "We had injuries happen, and we never got a chance to see how that group would gel. Now we finally have everybody back, and the last couple of weeks they've been unbelievable."
Merritt, who played receiver last season, has rushed for a county-best 1,278 yards and 14 touchdowns, while averaging 8.8 yards per carry.
The junior has gained 703 yards during the win streak, including 329 against Summerfield.
"He's gotten better every time we give him the football," Lutz said. "He does a really good job of jump-cutting in the hole. He reads his blocks really well. It takes a couple of guys to tackle him, and if he gets the corner, you might as well forget about it."
BD defeated Morenci 20-15 last season in Week 9 to earn its first playoff berth since 2000.
Lenawee County Athletic Association teams Hudson and Blissfield sit on the postseason bubble with a 4-4 record. Both must win this week and hope to hear their name during Sunday's MHSAA Selection Show at 6 p.m. on Fox Sports Detroit.
Blissfield (4-4, 4-2 LCAA) hosts Ida (5-3, 3-3) in a battle of postseason hopefuls. The Royals rank 64th in playoff points among Class C teams (43.500).
Hudson (4-4, 3-3) hosts league newcomer Columbia Central (2-6, 1-5). The Tigers, who eye their sixth consecutive postseason appearance, rank 76th in playoff points among Class C teams (39.125).
The Week 9 schedule features seven other games involving Lenawee County teams.
Sand Creek (2-6, 2-4 TCC) at Clinton (8-0, 6-0): The Division 6 No. 4-ranked Redskins look to secure the outright TCC title and their first undefeated regular season since 1990. Sand Creek hopes to rebound from back-to-back losses. The Aggies have won four of the past five meetings against Clinton.
Tecumseh (7-1) at Carleton Airport (5-3): The Indians can generate momentum for the playoffs and boost their chances of hosting a pre-district game this week against Huron League member Airport. Tecumseh has lost eight straight meetings against the Jets.
Adrian (3-5) at Traverse City West (5-3): The Maples will make a 4 ½-hour trip to conclude their season at Big North Conference runner-up Traverse City West. Traverse City West won last year's meeting against Adrian at Maple Stadium, 38-24.
Lenawee Christian (3-5) at Camden-Frontier (1-7): The Cougars and Redskins will meet for the second time this season. LCS beat Camden-Frontier 41-8 in Week 2. Last week, the Cougars compiled 74 points and 675 total yards in a victory over North Adams.
Madison (3-5, 1-5 TCC) at Whiteford (7-1, 5-1): The Trojans look to finish their season on a high note against Division 7 No. 7-ranked Whiteford. The Bobcats sit one game behind Clinton in the TCC standings. Madison seeks its first win over Whiteford since 1980.
Reading (7-1) at Addison (2-6): The Panthers look to close their season with a win over Big Eight Conference champion and Division 7 No. 9-ranked Reading. The teams will meet for the first time since 2004. Addison has won four of six all-time games against the Rangers.
Onsted (1-7, 1-5 LCAA) at Erie Mason (1-7, 1-5): The Wildcats hope to build on last week's memorable win over Blissfield and finish the season strong. Onsted has won seven straight meetings against Erie Mason, including last year's 22-6 triumph.

It's been a long while since I've made any house improvements, partially because I've been too busy and unwilling to take a break, and partially because it's hard to know when enough is enough with a rental. Our lease states pretty specifically about painting stuff {previously painted walls are one thing, but painting 'wood' is crossing a line I feel pretty guilty about}. Before giving in to makeover temptation, I did fight it -- I tried! I swear! The proof is in the timeline: Before altering it forever, I lived with our Home Depot wood-colored kitchen cabinets for a year, our Home Depot bathroom cabinets for two years, our Home Depot brown carpeted stairs for two-and-a-half years, the interior sides of our Home Depot bedroom doors for three years, and I. Can't. Take it. Anymore: I've lived with this crappy hallway for over five years.
There's just too much Home Depot still in my house!
The hypocrite part is because, well... I painted the doors black. Yes, I'm a freaking liar, but most importantly, I'm terrible at using examples. And thank you to the few people who mentioned that to me: Not painting your doors black {as I spoke about here} was a terrible example of what one shouldn't copy. Terrible! {Even the man himself pointed that out to me!} So in order to partially correct my dreadfully bad example, I went ahead and did it. I was holding back for so long, but sometimes you just gotta let loose and fix what's wrong in your life. And what was wrong in mine were these terrible doors. Screw the security deposit!
Facts: paint color - Behr, deep space.
wallpaper - butcher block paper printed with a cut potato and acrylic paint.
glued with - homemade wheat paste.
Irony: I bought the paint at Home Depot.
Next: Possibly - stripping the mantle which took me this long to realize is f-ing marble.
Probably not - tearing out the ugly carpeting in the bedroom {too much guilt?}
Learned: Go paint your doors black. It's awesome {and} There's evidence that it might be worth sacrificing your security deposit for happiness.
Update! Light fixed, using some random parts I had around the house.

At long last, the wait for the HTC One has come to an end… if you live in the UK. As promised, the delayed HTC One is now widely available from UK service providers and third-party retail outlets. Pricing for the HTC One is all over the board. You can pick up the HTC One for free with two-year service agreements, which start as low as £33 per month, or pay full retail price by purchasing the HTC One from Dial-a-Phone, Phones4U, Amazon UK or Clove UK. The cheapest off-contract price for the HTC One we've been able to find is Three UK's £480 sticker price. But you'll have to wait a few extra days to cash in on the deal, since they will not start shipping the device until April 2.
While most service providers appear to have the device in stock, Vodafone has posted a notice on its HTC one product page that they will not have any devices available for another 3-4 weeks due to high-demand. We're not sure if Vodafone didn't get its HTC One shipment or if they chose to simply distribute all of the phones to its retail stores.
Now that the UK launch of the HTC One has been checked off the list, we're hoping HTC can shifts its focus to North America and other countries across the EU.

'The Great Gatsby' Is Now a 2013 Summer Movie, While 'Hitchcock' Enters 2012 Oscar Race
Baz Luhrmann's updating of The Great Gatsby has a new release date – clear your calendars for May 10, 2013.
Luhrmann's adaptation of the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel was originally slated for a Christmas 2012 bow, but Warner Bros. decided to push it back to allow more time for post-production work. This took it out of the running for this year's Academy Awards race, but the new date gives it a juicy summer movie slot. The question now is will audiences turn out for a lush period drama in a month normally dominated by superheroes and explosions? Warner Bros. believes they will.
"Audiences have been looking forward to Baz Luhrmann's film adaptation of one of the most beloved books of all time, and we felt this beautifully extravagant and dramatic film would be a perfect way for us to kick off the summer slate," said Warner Bros. President of Domestic Distribution Dan Fellman. It's good that Fellman is excited, but we're still a little skeptical.
Luhrmann's take on the material promises to be less radical than his version of the Bard's Romeo & Juliet, but no less star-studded. Leonardo DiCaprio will headline the film, playing Jay Gatsby. He'll be joined by Shame's Carrey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton and Isla Fisher. Watch the original trailer below, and see it in 3D (yes, 3D!) this May.
[via THR]
Release Date and New Poster for Hitchcock
The Great Gatsby isn't the only film announcing a release date today – fans of Alfred Hitchcock also have some exciting news, too.
Fox Searchlight has announced that they'll release Sacha Gervasi's Hitchcock in limited markets on November 23. They've also given us a look at the title's official poster.
Based on Stephen Rebello's book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, Gervasi's film chronicles the love affair between the master of suspense and his wife Alma Reville. Naturally, given the source material, the film takes place during the time Hitchcock was filming Psycho – one of his most enduring works. And considering the late-November release date, something tells us Searchlight wants to position it for a run at the Oscars.
Anthony Hopkins headlines as Hitch and is joined by Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson and a pretty amazing ensemble cast.
Interestingly, Hitchcock isn't the only film about the famous director due out this year. HBO will air a made-for-television film entitled The Girl on October 20. That title will explore the obsessive relationship between the filmmaker and his The Birds leading lady Tippi Hedren.

John Lennon would be pleased!
Then there's two of the strawberries with a sweet strawberry pouch to carry them in, all in that same fabric storage bag!
I got such a kick out of that pouch -- it's a giant strawberry! My granddaughter has pretty much decided that she NEEDS it!
What else would have a strawberry? How about a cupcake!! Yummy chocolate cupcake with strawberry icing and whipped cream -- topped with a juicy little strawberry!

10 Passive Aggressive Notes We Wish We Wrote
We've talked about passive aggressive notes before (are your neighbors having loud sex?) and each one seems to appeal to our (not so) inner snarky-ness. We found a fun site that's full of notes written in this style and we picked 10 of our favorites that hit on common topics in shared living spaces or having inconsiderate neighbors!
Although we would like to think we'd be a bit more dry and sometimes clever in the humor behind the notes we chose, we still admire them for their tone and creativity. We never EVER would have thought to make a diagram on how to shower and having had more than one roommate who was against the practice, we think it's a rather humorous idea!
You can find these and more over at Passive Aggressive Notes, where we are hesitant to tell you exactly how many pages we read through this morning (think 50+). There are many that are far more entertaining than the ones we have featured above, but they do have some more "grownup" language in them, so for those reading Apartment Therapy while at work, we figured we'd keep it a PG show!

News of the year in the technology industry. "The Fit's most important spec its display, with a nod to Sony's TV division: they come with 1600x900 or 1920x1080 touchscreens and nothing else. 'We're not going to offer 1366x768," reps said. 'We've killed that.'" This is Sony's new, simplified entry-level notebook line. Very, very welcome news in a world where even a supposedly "Pro" laptop that costs $1199 ships with... A 1280x800 resolution. This bottom-of-the-barrel crap needs to be eradicated, and good on Sony for taking this step.

The current settings manager recently went under its second re-write, but it kept the same philosophy of being too elaborate. It is a good platform for developers to test how their Beryl plugins are behaving with each setting, but the reality is that it is not an end-user focused preference panel.
However, the time where most major desktop distros will be shipping by default with Beryl is nearing -- might be as close as the coming October (hint, hint). For these distros, a new Gnome/KDE preference panel will be needed, one that has a sane amount of settings without overpowering the user. Hence, my little mockups below.
These mockups imply some other under the hood settings too, mostly having to do with Gnome integration in this case:
* Viewports are off by default. Beryl must use Gnome's/KDE's virtual desktop applet's settings regarding workspaces.
* The Heliodor engine is used by default so users can use existing Metacity themes. There is no reason to re-invent the wheel here. Metacity's current pref panel should work as Heliodor's settings too.
* No reason for a notification-area Beryl icon. Enabling/disabling must happen from the Gnome pref panel, which sets itself to startup or not in the next login session.
* No 3D cubes and skydomes and other useless stuff like that. Most of the other plugins should be OFF too.
* Very few shortcuts, only the ones that are really used and they don't get on the way of Gnome/KDE's existing shortcut list. The current shortcut list is unbearable.
* Most of the animations must take less time to get carried through, so the user don't run out of patient within the hour of using Beryl.
* Only animate with the "burn" or "beam me up" effects main application's windows on "close", not alerts or dialogs that belong to the application.
* "View windows from all workspaces" should be as easy to use as Mac OS X's Panther new virtual screen "scale" effect. Cuts the desktop in 4 rectangles making it easier to visualize what is where. * UI zooming and negative windows must get integrated into Gnome's accessibility panels, they don't belong to the main pref panel.
And of course, some bug fixes are important:
* Totem's and VLC's video screens don't refresh when Beryl is used.
* Gnome's Terminal simply refuses to resize up!
* Some GL windows don't refresh the screen when moved around the screen.
* When placing a window at a specific space in the screen and then maximize that window, and then unmaximize it again, the window does not go back to its set place. Window placement still needs lots of work in Beryl.
I am pretty sure that some of Beryl's developers won't like the "dieting" of their efforts because let's face it, they are in to Beryl for the fun of it. But point of the matter is, some distros are not just for the fun anymore. They have a vast userbase that comes from different backgrounds and they must offer them a UI that makes sense: that is not too overwhelming and not too boring either. This is why some case studies and usability tests must be done to determine default settings like e.g. "how much transparency is too much" or "how quickly a window must minimize" and then provide the accompanied effects for these settings as non-editable by the "consumer" version of the Beryl settings manager.
As with everything in life, usually the simplest or middle ground solutions are the best. I take that same point of view in technology too, so hopefully others will agree with me too. Maybe someone will agree so much that he/she will implement a limited-set but sane default Beryl configuration with the suggested UI for Gnome/KDE. That would be the day!

The beach strand along Bogue Banks will be looking its best as visitors arrive to enjoy the Easter holiday break.
BOGUE BANKS �-The beach strand along Bogue Banks will be looking its best as visitors arrive to enjoy the Easter holiday break.
A beach nourishment project that has been underway along Pine Knoll Shoes and Emerald Isle the past two months was completed this past weekend.
One of the three dredges that worked on the project headed down to another project in Florida last week, and the remaining two followed just as soon as the last of the sand was pumped onto Emerald Isle.
While some equipment may remain at the Iron Steamer beach access at Pine Knoll Shores, which has served as a staging area, pipes and other equipment should be off the beach before the Easter weekend crowd arrives.
�The Iron Steamer access may still be closed but beside that everybody should be enjoying a nice beach,� Carteret County Shore Protection Manager Greg �Rudi� Rudolph said.
At the close of the Irene Delta Beach Nourishment Project, approximately 913,000 cubic yards of sand will have been pumped onto three sections of the beach strand along Bogue Banks. A 2.5-mile section of beach was nourished along Pine Knoll Shores, and two sections of beach in Emerald Isle have received sand.
The three areas were identified for the project following surveys after Hurricane Irene in 2011 that showed they were in the greatest need for sand.
Great Lakes Dredge & Dock was contracted for the project and began work in early February with a required completion date by the end of March.
Rudolph said the project has run smoothly.
�We�re going to be right on budget,� he said.
The approximately $15-million project is being funded through a combination of federal, county and local funds.

There's no hiding the intent behind "It's on Again," the new Alicia Keys single boasting guest spots from Kendrick Lamar and Pharrell Williams.
In the song's opening moments, Lamar is heard shouting that this song "is for the warrior"; soon after, Keys arrives to coo that she's "a freedom fighter" and an "eye of the tiger for hope."
For most of its four minutes, "It's on Again" makes it clear that this is a tune designed for a superhero movie. With the start of baseball season this week, don't be surprised to hear this upbeat soulful pop song at more than a few parks over the summer.

New Car Review
2013 Audi RS5: New Car Review
Pros: Scintillating V8 engine, beautiful to behold, sticks like glue, classy interior, technology aplenty.
Cons: No manual transmission, top-shelf MMI system with Audi connect costs extra.
What's New: Making its debut this year, the 2013 Audi RS5 is an amped-up performance coupe with a 450-horsepower V8.
Automakers are putting on a brave face about tightening fuel-economy regulations, but they know there's no substitute for a high-performance, naturally aspirated V8. That's why Ferrari continues to use this type of engine in its purest car, the 458 Italia.
It's also why the 2013 Audi RS5 exists.
And no, mentioning the RS5 and Ferrari's finest in the same breath is not hyperbole.
Here's the backstory. Audi already makes a dynamic coupe called the S5 that looks great, handles well and goes pretty darned fast. But starting this year, the S5 no longer features Audi's excellent 4.2-liter V8, instead making do with a more fuel-efficient but less engaging 3.0-liter supercharged V6.
That's where the RS5 comes in. It boasts a heavily modified version of the old V8 that tops out at a stratospheric 8,500 rpm, and if you treat that number as a "shift here" indicator, you'll be rewarded with a soundtrack that's genuinely worthy of an Italian badge. You'll also enjoy 450 purebred German horses versus the S5's 333. Various suspension tweaks ensure that the RS5's handling likewise eclipses that of its more sedate sibling.
Given that the RS5 is aimed at the small subset of drivers who truly appreciate the V8's added value, we're surprised it's only offered with Audi's admittedly superb dual-clutch automatic transmission. If you care that much about engines, you might also prefer to handle the clutching duties yourself.
But hey, who are we kidding? This Audi is pure awesome. And with the BMW M3 about to ditch its epic V8 in favor of a force-fed inline-6, the 2013 RS5 just might be the best V8-powered performance car under $100,000.
Comfort & Utility
The coupe-only RS5 generally offers the same features as the S5 Prestige model, but it adds a number of RS-specific items. Standard perks include 19-inch alloy wheels (20-inchers are optional), adaptive xenon headlights with LED accents, LED taillights, special wide body exterior panels, an automatic rear spoiler, keyless entry with push-button start, a panoramic sunroof, tri-zone automatic climate control, 12-way sport front seats with driver memory, carbon fiber interior trim, Bluetooth and iPod integration, the Multi-Media Interface system (MMI) with a dash-mounted control knob and a 10-speaker audio system with an auxiliary input, an SD card reader and satellite radio.
The optional MMI Navigation plus adds upgraded MMI software with navigation and a console-mounted joystick knob, Audi connect (see "Technology," below), a rearview camera, SiriusXM Traffic with a 4-year subscription and a 14-speaker, 505-watt Bang & Olufsen audio system with HD radio. Additional packages contribute niceties like adaptive cruise control and "black-optic" exterior trim.
The RS5's interior is highlighted by extraordinarily high-quality materials and a low-slung, intimate driving position with a cool flat-bottomed steering wheel. The aggressively bolstered front seats buck Audi's tradition of skimping on lateral support, yet they remain exceptionally comfortable on longer treks. We wish they were standard in every Audi. The tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel has a wide range of adjustability, so most drivers should be able to find a comfortable configuration.
Ergonomics, however, are hit-or-miss in the RS5, just like in the A5 and S5. For example, want to adjust the climate control's fan speed while driving? Good luck, because it's a two-step process rather than the simple twist of a knob. In brighter news, Audi has made huge strides as of late with the MMI system's intuitiveness, at least if you get the superior MMI Navigation plus version. It's now possible to accomplish most important tasks without consulting the owner's manual, and that's real progress.
With regard to the back seat, we've said it before of the A5 and S5, and we'll say it again: Only pint-sized humans will be happy back there for more than a few minutes. Trunk space, though, is more than respectable at 12.4 cubic feet.
Like other Audis, the RS5 comes standard with an SD-card reader, but it doesn't offer a USB port. That means you can't plug in your USB-compatible mp3 player, and if you're used to playing mp3s off a flash drive, you'll have to go buy an SD card and switch over.
But otherwise, the RS5 is a technological tour-de-force, highlighted by the MMI system, which comes in two forms. In standard spec without navigation, MMI is controlled via a knob on the center stack that requires an uncomfortable reach from the driver's seat. We recommend stepping up to MMI Navigation plus, which includes navigation, a more sophisticated display screen, and a control knob that's conveniently mounted precisely where your right hand rests on the center console.
Audi has greatly improved the intuitiveness of MMI's menu structure, and the console-mounted knob now features a nifty joystick-like top section that enhances operator control. Moreover, the Audi connect system, which only comes with MMI plus, delivers revolutionary new connectivity options, from voice-activated search and mobile wi-fi hotspot capability to Google Maps with auto-update.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The RS5 is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.2-liter V8 that makes 450 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. That's 20 more hp than the similar V8 in Iron Man's car, the Lamborghini-based R8. The sole transmission is a 7-speed dual-clutch automated manual.
At full throttle, with the tachometer needle sweeping effortlessly toward 8,500 rpm, the RS5 is about as close as you can get to V8 nirvana without ponying up for a Prancing Horse. It's not just the speed that impresses; it's also the astounding lack of vibration through the controls, and the exquisitely refined noises from both engine and exhaust. As for the transmission, it may only have two pedals, but it's as good as any automated manual we've tried, and that includes Porsche's PDK. Just rip off a few rev-matched downshifts with the standard paddle shifters, and you'll be a believer, too.
Fuel economy actually isn't that bad for a high-revving V8 at 16 mpg city/23 hwy.
The RS5 comes with standard stability control, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes, and eight airbags (front, front side, front knee, full-length side-curtain). A blind-spot warning system is available.
Like the A5 and S5, the RS5 has not been crash-tested in the U.S.
Driving Impressions
The RS5 starts with the confident high-speed demeanor of its lesser siblings and cranks it to eleven. On a racetrack or winding road, there's a real sense of invincibility: Just plant your right foot mid-corner, and let the magical V8 and quattro all-wheel-drive system sort out the rest. Notably, the RS5's version of quattro comes standard with the sports rear differential (optional on S5), which virtually eliminates understeer by sending extra power to the outside rear wheel as required.
In normal driving, the RS5's ride proves rather stiff. While we applaud Audi for declining to offer the synthetic-feeling Drive Select system with its adjustable suspension, we do think the RS5's fixed damper settings could stand to be relaxed a bit. But you can still feel that characteristic German suppleness in the suspension, so impacts are rarely harsh. Moreover, the quiet cabin makes this Audi a stellar road-trip companion.
Other Cars to Consider
BMW M3: Depending on when you read this review, your BMW dealer might have some leftover V8-powered M3s from last generation, but those will soon be replaced by the new M3 with its turbocharged six. Either way, you owe yourself a test drive before going with the RS5.
Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG: Now available as a coupe, the C63 lacks the RS5's heroically controlled handling, but it'll do powerslides all day if that's your thing. Plus, the 6.2-liter AMG V8 makes some beautiful noises of its own.
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 - We know it's a dark-horse candidate, but the ZL1's unique suspension gives it world-class handling, and there's something to be said for its 556 supercharged horses and look-at-me styling.
AutoTrader Recommends
We recommend the RS5, period. If you've got the means, you're not going to be disappointed.

Resolutions and Green Smoothies
25 comments:
I'm hoping I'm not terribly mistaken with this suggestion... but how about one of those dismountable molds? Or a non-stick one? You may also try covering the walls of the baking pan with waxed paper. I hope this helps!ReplyDelete
Next time you make it, line the pan with parchment paper (cooking parchment) and it should lift out smoothly. Hopefully, you will be able to just peel away the paper and have the loaf of bread. Also, if the dough is not too loose (because I don't know the correct word to use here), you might be able to just form the loaf and place it on a parchment covered baking sheet. It will be quite organic, but very little clean up, if any. I hope this is helpful.ReplyDelete
I also love bread and it is about the only thing I will bake! Other baked goods are too fiddly.
Thanks for the smoothie recipe!
The waxed paper or parchment is a great idea!ReplyDelete
why didn't I think of it...
I have another box for more trial and error so will do that :)
merci carolg
First of all, LOVE the self-portrait.ReplyDelete
Here are possibly 2 ways you can get the bread out of the pan NEXT TIME.
1. Just as you would if you were doing a plaster mould, line the pan with tons of Vaselene. Guaranteed to come right out. But I don't think the cake would taste very good, so forget that way.
2. How about one of the Pam sprays? It comes in all kinds of cooking oils. That's worth trying, I think. Good luck.
I wouldn't use wax paper, wouldn't the wax get in your bread? Parchment baking paper or a non stick pan with a little cooking spray would work well, though. The bread looks delish and how funny to put the liquid in the box and shake it. The trouble with bread is that it's best with butter and jam and therin lies the problem.ReplyDelete
Carol, I have that movie lined up on my netflix. Tonight is the night.Kale tomorrow!ReplyDelete
LOVE you SOS portrait! So glad you have the drill!ReplyDelete
Kim's advice is good - you will still have to use a knife at the ends where there is no paper!
ALL HALE TO Kale!ReplyDelete
The movie is a hoot Julie
Why not put paper on the ends Jeanette - a cut-out piece?
The ends REALLY stick with this gluey dough.
Hahahaha! Tanks Paul.ReplyDelete
The bread - you just pour water into the box of ingredients, shake and put it in a pan
no work at all but that's OK :)
Yeah Kale chips...I read so much about them.
They sell at Whole Foods for $8 (!) so I had to try and make them but they taste very meh IMHO.
My husband would say use dinamite. lol I always spray the pans with PAM SPRAY when baking things and things come right out. But am wondering how watery it was. Good for you for getting back to the pool. Got to keep limber..You dont want another 'back out' episode just before going to Paris.ReplyDelete
I just watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead this week too! It was inspiring. I found the story of the American truck driver to be more amazing than Joe's actually. It was interesting enough without him, but I thought he really made the film. I had a green smoothie in America last year, but haven't tried making one at home yet.ReplyDelete
We live in a Russian/Chinese/Japanese quarter of SF.ReplyDelete
There is a Russian deli a few blocks from us that make the most delicious bread,
It's triangle shaped and loaded with grains and weighs about 4 pounds the load and OMG it's heavenly.
adorable post, as usual. your blog is as funny as it is pretty! i just posted to my fb page and twitter.ReplyDelete
Hahahaha! You are too funny - that bread looks deadly serious although probably delicious. Hope you can figure out how to get it out of the pan and into your mouth. I always wonder how you manage to stay slim with all the pastries you feature every day! Now, the green smoothie, I'm not so sure about. Kale just does not appeal to me, no matter how you disguise it. Bon appetit! XOReplyDelete
Believe me the KALE is disguised when you mix it with apples, banana, ginger amazingly!!
I am a non-kale eater from way back.I don't even like the sound of it much less the look, and I was getting weekly this summer from my CMS(sp)
I had to 'bin' it every week uneaten :(
Not now.
HALE to Kale
(as long as it's disguised)
- Gavin11:01 AM
Like others have said, either grease the pan well or like with parchment paper. Also it is pretty easy to make from scratch. Try this recipe for Rugbrod – Danish Sourdough Rye BreadReplyDelete

Frank Höhne brought us into his home and studio space in Berlin to show how (and why) he works as an illustrator. Pen in hand, Höhne works quickly, intuitively, and spontaneously, rarely with a plan, and always with his quirky and easygoing sense of humor. Joy, or "Bock," as it's said colloquially in German, is an important aspect of life and work for Höhne—something which he hilariously describes in his first monograph, "The Book of Bock." It's this combination of idiosyncratic humor, refreshingly childlike spontaneity, and down-to-earth nature that has allowed Höhne to quickly establish himself as one of Germany's leading illustrators, with clients including BMW Mini, Nike, Aveda, as well as a broad range of German newspapers and magazines.
Höhne's first monograph, "The Book of Bock," is now avaialbe from Gestalten: shop.gestalten.com/book-of-bock.html
Höhne is also showcasing illustrations from "The Book of Bock" in addition to new works at "Bockumenta 1," his solo-exhibition at Gestalten Space, which is running from August 9th to September 16th, 2012: news.gestalten.com/event/bockumenta-1

CagePotato Poll: Which MMA Fighter Had the Hottest Porn Star Girlfriend?
(Contestant 1: Christy Mack. In case you're new to the Internet, you can see lots more of her on Google or her twitter page. Above image via Ranker)
Earlier this month, Bellator welterweight/retired porn-actor War Machine confirmed that he is in a romantic relationship with Christy Mack, a porn actress with a punk-vibe who has appeared in such flicks as Tattooed Anal Sluts and Trashy. How you react to this news depends a lot on your personal relationship with porn, and specifically with the porn featuring Christy Mack. For the record, Christy seems like a super lady, and we think the tattoo of the tall ship on her back is unique and eye-catching.
So, for those of you who care: Where does War Machine's romance with Christy Mack rank in the short list of MMA fighters who have dated porn stars? Check out our quick rundown below, then vote in the SurveyMonkey widget at the end of page 2. Results will be collected and perhaps revealed if tomorrow turns out to be a really slow news day.

Meeting The Teacher
Many children are heading back to school this week (if not already back already). It is a time of transition and change, of new faces and old. It is a time of adjustment and a time of schedules. And that's just the teachers!
Whether your child is starting preschool or nursery school for the first time or is a seasoned pro at the education system, take a small moment to recognize your child's teacher. Creating a simple gift is a great way to introduce yourself and bring a smile to your child's teacher's face! Here are a couple of quick and easy ideas to get the creative juices flowing:
1. The traditional teacher-gift – an apple! Apples are nutritious, easy to transport and even boys don't mind sharing one with their teacher (my son absolutely cringes when I suggest a small bouquet of flowers from our garden, but an apple is "cool"). Tie a note to the stem to finish it off. I found a lovely poem online for a teacher-apple:
You plant the seeds of wisdom with patience and concern,
And your efforts all bear fruit as your students grow and learn.
You offer them good food for thought, you care right to the core.
There's just no better teacher than the one this apple's for!
2. Another cute idea is to give your child's teacher a small bag of Hershey Hugs chocolate candies. Again, I found a cute poem online to accompany these yummy snacks:
You are a wonderful teacher – I think you're very neat!
That's why I put together this special little treat!
A little bag with Teacher Hugs to get you through your day,
And let you know that I am glad that you are here to stay!
3. Other simple ideas: give a cute pencil with a small note: "You've got the 'write' stuff!"; tie a note to a ruler: "You really measure up!"; or a can of his/her favorite soda with "We're bubbling over with excitement to have you for a teacher this year!"

Sasuke ain't being too much of a dick,he' s following Naruto s lead(it's a silent ninja way of acknowledgement).
Hashirama is acting as general now,awesome.Is that barrier the same that Orochimaru battled Saratobi in?
Madara doesn't seem to care about the big plan any more.He just want's a re-match with Hashirama.
It was cool seeing the Juubi do something besides a another bomb. although i expected it to eat the world by now,it is called the progenitor.But then again it isn't at it's complete state if i recall correctly.maybe it's just holding back til it's full grown Juubi.
And i thought the picture of Teams 7,8,and 10 was nice poster material.
Everyone saying they want to be Hokage reminded me of the end of Sparticus.

So, they spent half the chapter having Sakura talk about how she doesn't want to be protected by Naruto and Sasuke. She then proceeds to obliterate a large number of Juubi spawn, get cocky, and then has to be saved by Naruto and Sasuke again. And she's... elated that Sasuke saved her. Good job, girl, you actually moved even lower in my perception while showcasing your badassery. Didn't know that was possible.

i didn't like this chapter but i didn't hate it either. it's kinda predictable, i don't know what i was expecting really. of course sakura would be hyped up, of course she'd use similar techniques to tsunade, of course the kages would show off, of course sasuke and naruto would act all cool. i guess i was expecting something a little more exciting. what was i thinking?!

Btv what happened with Madara's evil plan? It seams he doesn't care about it anymore. He is content to sit back and wait for the Juubi to be defeated just so he can fight the real Hashirama.

so funny it was when Kiba says he want to became hokage as well and no one listens to him and Hinata says that she is listening
finally Sakura does something, thought it's the same as Tsunade guess she couldn't do anything else
what happened to the evil plan, they were waiting for the jubbi to mature now it's spitting nuclear bombs and splitting like amoebae,

I mean... this scene is something I've dreamed of since I know that they'll be trained by sannin... at least... become their successor!!!
and I'm still waiting for epic kuchiyose no jutsu show by team 7

-I...just....I have absolutely no words of praise for this chapter. After a flimsy, but ultimately entertaining chapter in 631 we get...this gigantic waste of time. The phrase "too little too late" comes to mind here. Congratulations Sakura, you punched one Juubi spawn and then the ground. I guess I should be thankful you didn't misfire and hit Naruto both times instead .
-Sakura's actions this chapter are akin to a kid bragging they beat that one incredibly difficult game of last year to a group of people who already beat it and moved on to the newer, more difficult game. Also WTH is with Hinata going back to her meek characteristic? The girl grew a massive pair acting to slap Naruto out of his dilemma and was fiercely devoted to protecting him from the second time the Juubi transformed. Now she's back to cheerleader? Give me a break . This chapter left me with so much excess bile that I think I'll go and drown out my displeasure by something less depressing.

My Room: Tessa Jean
Take a turn around Tessa Jean's charming room and don't miss her chandelier strung with rejected pacis! Her mom Ellen fills us in: Tessa Jean is 10-months-old now, but a year ago we had so much fun turning this tiny, oddly shaped room from our office into her nursery. Her room is a collection of vintage treasures picked up in thrift stores, beloved items from my own childhood, generous hand-me-downs, and even a couple of new things.
The iron bed in her room was mine when I was child and it was intended to be a place where I would nap while she naps. I don't think that's happened once. Instead, it's the place where we read bedtime stories and fold laundry.
On her chandelier, I've strung up more than a dozen of her rejected pacifiers. She was very particular about the ones she'd accept but the candy-colored binkies were too cute to toss out. The swivel chair next to her crib is a thrift store find and the felt map of the United States was picked up at a yard sale before I was even pregnant. It's my favorite thing in her room. Almost all of the books on her shelves were mine as a child. The changing table was on sale at Pottery Barn Kids as a floor model. Score! Her crib bedding, from DwellStudio, was probably my biggest splurge. I am obsessed with it.
Thanks Ellen! Readers, you can see more of Tess's room including how it looked as an office on Ellen's blog black & white & loved all over.

The Monterey Herald"s building in Ryan Ranch has been sold for $5.7 million to CSU Monterey Bay, county real estate records say.
Records of the 8 a.m. Tuesday purchase reveal it was $1.5 million less than the asking price.
Publisher Gary Omernick said he was still looking for a new location in Monterey to move the staff and did not have a move-in date for the university.
The 62,500-square foot building was purchased by the college"s nonprofit fundraising arm, University Corporation at Monterey Bay.
The organization had $41 million in net assets as of June 2013, according to its most recently available tax returns.
CSUMB President Eduardo Ochoa is still unsure of exactly what the building will be used for.
A news release said some anticipated uses are conducting research, extended education classes, and holding meetings and seminars.
"As a result of the continued growth of our university, we are facing a shortage of space, particularly for some of our research activities," Ochoa said in a news release. "This facility — which is located close to our campus — will address those needs. In addition, we will be able to better serve the continuing education needs of Monterey Peninsula professionals."
The University Corp. — which did not return a call for comment — holds nearly $60 million in land and buildings, according to its tax return.
The sale of The Herald building isn"t the first among regional newspapers run by New York City-based Digital First Media. The Santa Cruz Sentinel disassembled its presses in 2007 and moved from downtown Santa Cruz to Scotts Valley.
The San Jose Mercury News building was sold in September and the staff is scheduled to be move to a smaller location some time this year.
The Herald moved into the building at 8 Upper Ragsdale in Monterey in 1990.
Its first building, which no longer exists, was at 453 Alvarado St. in 1922. Five years later, the newspaper moved to the northwest corner of Pearl and Washington streets where it remained until 1953.
After that it moved to a building now used by the Monterey Institute of International Studies at the corner of Jefferson and Pacific streets.
The Herald moved to Ryan Ranch over Memorial Day weekend in 1990. A production facility was already used by the paper in the business park by the late 1980s but it took a $3 million, 20,000 square-foot addition to fit the newsroom and other employees.
Architect Boris Jacoubowsky in 1990 said he designed the building to fit all the new computer equipment of the time while maintaining a continuity of design.
"The increase in parking spaces, carpeted floors and well lighted work areas are appreciated by Herald staffers," a Herald article from 1990 said.
The 6-acre Ryan Ranch property"s land and improvements are valued at $10.5 million, according to the Monterey County Assessor.
Mahoney Associates, in partnership with Praxis Commercial, represented The Herald in the sale. Cassidy Turley and Michael Schoeder represented CSUMB.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
DescriptionThe northern bottlenose whale is the only species of the genus Hyperoodon that lives in the North Atlantic, but there is an unidentified species of whale living in the North Pacific that may turn out to belong to this genus. The northern bottlenose whale has a long, tube-like snout, different in shape from the beaked face of the other whales of the ziphiid family. This species prefers deep water and may avoid shallows. It has been caught in nets at depths below 1,000 m and has been known to stay submerged for up to two hours. In the Arctic Ocean, the whales stay near the boundaries between cold polar currents and warmer Atlantic currents, where the food supply is rich. Squid and a variety of fish make up most of their diet. Their growth pattern has been measured by counting annual growth rings that appear naturally in their teeth, much like tree growth rings. Males reach full size at 20 years and females, which tend to be smaller, at 15 years. Life span is estimated to be at least 37 years.
