Braided Easter Egg Bread
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I'll be featuring several Easter breads over the next few weeks, and I thought this would be a good recipe with which to begin the series. It's the easiest of the lot to make and it will be doing double duty as a table prize and centerpiece at an upcoming church luncheon. Those of you who are long-term readers of One Perfect Bite probably remember the Flower Pot Bread that was used in the same way. This year, however, I was asked to find a bread that was edible as well as decorative. I found this recipe at Allrecipes and it was just what I was looking for. Fortunately, this will be a group effort and my responsibility is limited to demonstrating how the bread is made. The real work will be done by a dozen other gals who will actually bake the coffee rings. I don't anticipate there will be any problems if the recipe instructions are followed, but this bread differs from some of the others that are floating around. The eggs that are inserted into the dough are not cooked prior to baking. That means they must be carefully handled when they are dyed. This braid is especially attractive when the eggs are intensely colored, but pale or brightly hued, they must be thoroughly dry before they are inserted into the dough. Moisture will cause them to bleed and spoil the appearance of the bread. Alton Brown has a recipe in which eggs are baked rather than boiled or steamed. I'm including a link to it, here, because it's a technique you might want to use with your Easter eggs. This bread is best served freshly made but it will keep a day or so if you intercept the eggs before serving. Here's the recipe.
Braided Easter Egg Bread...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Allrecipes.com
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/4 teaspoons (1 package) active dry yeast
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
4 to 5 uncooked eggs, dyed and thoroughly dried
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1) Combine 1 cup flour, sugar,salt and yeast in a large bowl. Mix well.
2) Combine milk and butter in a small saucepan and heat until milk is warm and butter is softened but not melted.
3) Gradually add liquid mixture to flour mixture, stirring constantly. Beat in eggs and 1/2 cup of reserved flour. Add remaining 1 cup flour in two parts, stirring well after each addition. When dough comes together turn onto a floured surface and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
4) Lightly oil a large bowl, place dough in bowl and turn to coat all surfaces with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
5) Deflate dough and turn it out on a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into two equal size rounds; cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each round into a long rope about 36 inches long and 1-1/2 inches thick. Use ropes to form a loosely braided ring, with spaces to insert eggs. Seal ends of ring and transfer to a lightly buttered baking sheet. Use fingers to slide eggs between braids of dough. Cover loosely with a damp towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
6) Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. When dough has doubled in size, brush with melted butter and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until golden brown. Let sit for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Yield: 1 ring.

The annual BestPlaces Comfort Index for the Waterbury Center (zip 05677) area is 8.9 (10=best), which means it is more comfortable than most places in Vermont.
A higher score indicates a more comfortable year-round climate. The US average for the comfort index is 7.8. Our index is based on the total number of days annually within the comfort range of 70-80 degrees, and we also applied a penalty for days of excessive humidity.
Many people confuse weather and climate but they are different. Weather is the conditions of the atmosphere over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere is over long periods of time.
Weather is how the atmosphere is behaving and its effects upon life and human activities. Weather can change from minute-to-minute. Most people think of weather in terms of temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloudiness, brightness, visibility, wind, and atmospheric pressure.
Climate is the description of the long-term pattern of weather in a place. Climate can mean the average weather for a particular region and time period taken over 30 years. Climate is the average of weather over time.

This is what I wrote yesterday morning re: Justin Timberlake's Italian wedding:
"At press time (Thursday, 7am PT), while almost every publication has made at least a small mention of the upcoming event, nothing from PEOPLE Magazine. Does that mean a deal is in play? Going with PEOPLE seems almost low-brow these days. I feel like JT would look down on that sh-t too. Vogue or nothing!"
A deal was indeed in play.
PEOPLE has confirmed they have the exclusive. JT married today and he and his wife released a generic statement to the magazine in advance of next Wednesday's super issue with photos and details.
So they sold it to PEOPLE.
When I was just saying that PEOPLE seems almost low-classy now -- after the way Blake Lively has played the game -- Justin Timberlake went and sold his sh-t to PEOPLE....
Even though, haven't you heard it before?, they're a private couple!
Privacy is sharing your wedding pictures to a magazine? Please you pipsqueaky little hypocrite. You don't ever get to separate the personal and professional line ever again.

American public multinational corporation headquartered in
Redmond, Washington, USA that develops, manufactures, licenses,
and supports a wide range of products and services predominantly
related to computing through its various product divisions.
Established on April 4, 1975 to develop and sell BASIC interpreters
for the Altair 8800, Microsoft rose to dominate the home computer
operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by
the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems. Microsoft would
also come to dominate the office suite market with Microsoft Office.
The company has diversified in recent years into the video game
industry with the Xbox and its successor, the Xbox 360 as well as
into the consumer electronics and digital services market with Zune,
MSN and the Windows Phone OS. The ensuing rise of stock in the
company's 1986 initial public offering (IPO) made an estimated four
billionaires and 12,000 millionaires from Microsoft employees. In
May 2011, Microsoft Corporation acquired Skype Communications
for $8.5 billion dollars.
Primarily in the 1990s, critics contend Microsoft used monopolistic
business practices and anti-competitive strategies including refusal
to deal and tying, put unreasonable restrictions in the use of its
software, and used misrepresentative marketing tactics; both the
U.S. Department of Justice and European Commission found the
company in violation of antitrust laws. Known for its interviewing
process with obscure questions, various studies and ratings were
generally favorable to Microsoft's diversity within the company as
well as its overall environmental impact with the exception of the
electronics portion of the business.

Product Details
Bentley T2 1978, Ultratect™ Custom Car Cover by Covercraft®. With 2 Mirror Pockets. This lighter weight, all-weather outdoor car features woven fiber construction and provides Covercraft's highest possible level of UV sun protection. Also offers strong resistance to acid rain, dirt, snow and best protection against bird droppings, and tree sap. Custom-shaped to your make and model, the bottom edging of this cover is made with elastic for a snug fit. Available in multiple colors.
- Actual colors may vary from the color on your screen due to monitor color restrictions
- Image shows color of the product, not the exact model or style
High Performance Woven Fabric
Designed specifically to give the highest level of outdoor protection in the most sun-intense environments thanks to fabric additives that reduce cover degradation after prolonged exposure to UV rays.
Highly Water Resistant
HydroMax finish on both sides of the fabric helps protect against rain, bird droppings and dust, while maintaining the fabric's breathability.
150 denier yarn pattern is densely woven in both directions to provide a thinner cover that has high strength and good filtration ability.
Non-Scratch Grommets
Reinforced, non-scratch grommets include a protective flap on the backside and can be used with a tie-down rope.
Custom Fit
Custom car covers follow the exact contours of vehicle. Car covers protect all the vehicle's exposed surface.
5-Year Warranty
Warranty coverage protects against defects in material and workmanship, as well as the fabric becoming unserviceable during normal use.
Made in the USA
Covercraft proudly manufactures their products in the United States.
The Ultratect™ Custom Car Cover is created from woven fibers impregnated with polymer additives that fill the gaps to create a cover that's impenetrable by dirt and UV rays, yet fully allows moisture and heat underneath to escape. Not only is UV protection baked in throughout every fiber of the cover, the dye color you select is also - ensuring it will continue to look just as sharp without scratch marks and fading as the years roll by. You'll also find the construction of this cover also gives the highest possible level of protection from bird droppings, and tree sap.
Use the Ultratect™ Custom Car Cover regularly to prevent paint from fading, rubber from drying out, and chrome from tarnishing. And when your vehicle is covered regularly, dashboard materials remain soft without fracturing, leather doesn't dry out, and wood trim does not crack in multiple places due to heat expansion and contraction. Additionally, the annoying chemical haze that forms on the inside of windshields from heated plastic trim will be eliminated. Ultratect is not waterproof, but if kept clean it will repel most water - keeping your vehicle's surface cleaner over longer stretches of time if you will not be there to attend to it yourself.
Because of the Ultratect™ Custom Car Cover's smaller size, it stows easily in most carrying bags and can be washed in a traditional home washing machine. Due to its unique construction, it can also be dried in a normal dryer with the heat setting on. Sized for a custom fit on your vehicle with elastic edging surrounding the lower perimeter on all sides, it wraps around snugly underneath yet stretches easily when the time comes to remove the cover. Covercraft builds the Ultratect™ Custom Car Cover in the United States, and backs it with a 5-year warranty against failure resulting from manufacturing defects.
Founded in 1965 in the southern region of California, Covercraft® began with the efforts of two founders that were passionate automotive enthusiasts. Working out of a small shop, they began by doing what no one else was doing - creating and building car covers that were tailored for a custom fit on street rods and small European sports cars. Covercraft's philosophy of custom fit design, continuous refinement, and materials development has earned them respect throughout the industry for products that are easy to use, soft to the touch, and durable. Because whether you've got a car parked outside facing an onslaught from intense hot sun, salty sea mist, tropical rain, or brutal winter weather conditions, Covercraft has the fabrics you need to maximize protection of your vehicle, at prices you can afford. Our website offers great values on the full Covercraft product range of car covers, pickup cab covers, convertible top-down interior covers, seat covers, interior organizers, trunk organizers, and much more.

Making it Work
- Install the firmware:
wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/22xxdrv_27086.zip wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/extract.sh sh extract.sh cp *fw /lib/firmware # for some linux distros, might need the following line instead of the above cp *fw /lib/firmware/`uname -r`
- Using current linuxtv git tree (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers):
Install tools. For Ubuntu or debian:
apt-get install get patchutils lsdiff libproc-processtable-perl build-essential
At this point you should install the source or at least the headers for your kernel. The linuxtv drivers probably need to build against your kernel source. I am not 100% sure on this requirement, but it seems like an easy enough step to take.
Download the build tree and build it. It will download compatibility patches for your kernel if available:
git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git cd media_build ./build.sh
Note: this method (as of 2012/03/02) will only give NTSC for analog TV, the driver does not have PAL support. You can at this point patch your code with the patch here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/26212/focus=26524. A bit of fiddling is needed to apply the patch in the newer kernels, but I have it working with 3.2.1. Apply the patch to the linux subdirectory of the git archive (after calling ./build.sh), and then call ./build again (or just make). --- patch for 3.2.1-gentoo kernel: https://github.com/reinhrst/nl.claude.tools/tree/2594dd91cb81a3c905a53b9168f52a42e317cd1f/misc
Note: (as of 2012/11/27) Revision 2 of this card will fail to initialize correctly with a dmesg error similar to the below: Full details are available here
[ 3.682021] saa7164 driver loaded [ 3.682640] CORE saa7164[0]: subsystem: 0070:8900, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2200 [card=5,autodetected] [ 3.682646] saa7164[0]/0: found at 0000:02:00.0, rev: 129, irq: 16, latency: 0, mmio: 0xfe400000 [ 3.693267] saa7164_downloadfirmware() firmware corrupt [ 3.693277] saa7164_downloadfirmware() Waiting for firmware upload (NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw) [ 3.705989] saa7164_downloadfirmware() firmware read 4019072 bytes.

To get the card working you'll have to
- apply the this patch
- download v4l-saa7164-1.0.2-3.fw and copy it to /lib/modules
Now that we've built all the latest linuxtv drivers install them (from the media_build folder):
sudo make install
Finally reboot to load the driver (or use sudo make unload, then sudo modprobe driver name to unload and reload the drivers - see http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers for more info.)
Note: Some kernels will not have enough free memory available for the driver. The dmesg error will start with a message like this:
] modprobe: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0x2000d0
followed by a stack trace and other debugging information. While the driver will load, no devices will be registered.
The simple workaround is to allocate more memory for the kernel:
sudo /bin/echo 16384 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes sudo rmmod saa7164 sudo modprobe saa7164
- NB: One user found that the output of grep saa7164 /var/log/dmesg (on Ubuntu 11) was:

This necessitated the download of http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/firmwares/4019072/NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw and copy to /lib/firmware/<current kernel> (this firmware version doesn't get generated using the instructions further up the page).
- After running
sudo make unload
andsudo modprobe saa7164
the /dev/dvb/adapter0&1 devices were properly populated.
Making it Work Easily
This was tested under Ubuntu 12.04
- Install the firmware file : NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw from there http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/firmwares/4019072/ , in the /lib/firmware folder .
- Create a file named options in the /etc/modprobe.d folder , the first line should have : options saa7164 card=8
- reboot
card=8 is for most 2250 cards. card=4 for an 8940 card. To find out what number to put in the card=x do the following
dmesg | grep saa7164
The third line should have something like [card=8,insmod option]
NOTE: You should use dmesg to find the card number before you create the modprobe.d file. If you don't, it will use the card number you put in modprobe.d instead of autodetecting the card number (ugh!)
You can see a list of the card numbers here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/tip/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7164
In your dmesg option, you can find card version in the line that includes the word subsystem. Mine was 0070:8851 which is card=7 not 8.
Another user here... These Making it Work Easily instructions did not work for me (Mythbuntu 12.04.3). These instructions only install the NXP7164 firmware. This initially appeared to get the card to work, however every 10-30 minutes or so I would get very bad pixellation issues that lasted for approx 1-2 minutes, before going good again. On inspection, the dmesg log contained a reference to another missing firmware dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw. I then followed the instructions on this page in the Making it work section to install the firmware by manually extracting from the zip file. This fixed up the issue completely.
Ubuntu 14.04
Hit the same problem in Ubuntu 14.04 with Making it Work Easily where dmesg showing missing dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw message
Follow "Making it Work Easily" instructions, then:
# wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/22xxdrv_27086.zip # wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip # wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/extract.sh # sh extract.sh # sudo cp dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw /lib/firmware # sudo reboot
Making it work using a GUI
I've put together a tv tuner config tool which sets up many cards:
Alternative method using (older) mercurial tree:
Install tools. For Mythdora:
yum install mercurial
For Ubuntu or Debian:
apt-get install mercurial libncurses5-dev
For stable tree
hg clone http://kernellabs.com/hg/saa7164-stable/ cd saa7164-stable
For development tree
hg clone http://kernellabs.com/hg/~stoth/saa7164-dev/ cd saa7164-dev
For Ubuntu or Debian, deconfigure the firedtv driver in the following process per Devin Heitmueller:
make menuconfig perl -p -i -e 's/FIREDTV=m/FIREDTV=n/' v4l/.config edit as needed but should have all enabled that is needed make make install reboot
For non-Ubuntu or Debian:
make menuconfig edit as needed but should have all enabled that is needed make make install reboot
Every time the linux kernel is upgraded to a new version, you'll need to reboot and then repeat the above steps.
MythDora: With a fresh Mythdora 10 install, chances are the above won't work until you install the kernel source code.
yum install kernel-devel
Repeat the make commands above after installing the kernel source.

MythDora: A non-programmer, Linux and MythTV newbie wrote the added details about MythDora 10. I got the driver to work using Kernel 188.8.131.52-170.2.113.fc10.x86_64, by installing Mercurial and kernel-devel (plus a few other guesses, documented in the Discussion tab). Other research suggested I needed ncurses and ncurses-devel, and gcc, but I'm not sure of those are really required. Hopefully someone comes along and corrects any errors and incorporates additional information in this main article, which I found most useful.

Verifying it Works
- Another user here on Debian (KDE mostly). I am unable to verify/use card as I am clueless about setting up media center type software to put it to use.
Doesn't work with Supermicro PCIe Gen3 slot motherboards
I tried to use it with a Supermicro X11SAT-F (Bios 2.0c, Release Date: 10/20/2017) and X10DRi-T (Bios 2.1a, Release Date: 05/05/2017) motherboards which have PCIe GEN 3 slots only. For both the motherboards the PCIe link speed was changed from Auto to Gen1 in the BIOS. The card was not detected by the X11SAT-F motherboard, however it was detected by X10DRi-T. Hauppauge techsupport said "The board is not supported on those Xeon Supermicro motherboards. We had discussions with Supermicro a couple of years ago about this and the simple conclusion was that the card would need a physical modification to make it work"

New Jersey spruce survives Sandy, lights up Rockefeller Center
| New York
An 80-foot Norway spruce that made it through Superstorm Sandy was transformed into a beacon of shimmering glory Wednesday when New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and others turned its lights on at Rockefeller Center.
Thousands of onlookers crowded behind barricades on the streets that surrounded the center during the traditional tree-lighting ceremony for the Christmas holiday season. A video screen projected an image of the tree for those who did not have a direct line of sight.
"It makes me want to sing and dance," said Zuri Young, who came several hours early with her boyfriend to watch the lighting for the first time.
RECOMMENDED: How much do you know about Christmas traditions? Take the quiz
"I've heard a lot about it. I was kind of sick of staying home and watching it on television," the 19-year-old nursing student from Queens said.
Illuminated by more than 30,000 lights, the tree from the Mount Olive, N.J., home of Joe Balku was topped by a Swarovski star. The 10-ton tree had been at the homestead for years, measuring about 22-feet tall in 1973 when Balku bought the house. Wednesday, its girth reached about 50 feet in diameter.
"It's an experience that I cannot get back home," said Freyja Shairp, a 22-year-old from Sydney, Australia, who is working in the U.S. temporarily. She said she hadn't planned to come, but was in the neighborhood.
Standing next to her was Donna D'Agostino, 48, and her 17-year-old daughter. She said she lived in New York City her whole life and decided this was the year she was going to see the lighting.
"It's a bucket list item," said D'Agostino. "I think it starts the whole season."
Balku lost power and other trees during the Oct. 29 storm at his residence about an hour outside of Manhattan. The spruce survived, and Erik Pauze, the head gardener at Tishman Speyer, one of the owners of Rockefeller Center, picked out the tree. He said he found it by accident when he got lost while returning to the city on a tree hunting expedition.
"It wasn't even on our list. It was a good find," Pauze said.
Pauze said workers prepared for Superstorm Sandy by bracing the tree with cables to secure and protect it. It was moved in November.
Officials turned on the lights just before 9 p.m. Wednesday in the 80th annual celebration. Prior to that, the tree-lighting event include performances from Rod Stewart, CeeLo Green, Scotty McCreery, Il Volo, Victoria Justice, Brooke White, Mariah Carey, Trace Adkins and Tony Bennett, along with appearances by Billy Crystal and Bette Midler.
The tradition of a Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center started in 1931, when workers building the center put up the first one. No tree was put up the following year, and in 1933, the first tree-lighting ceremony took place.
People will be able to view the tree until Jan. 7. After its stint in the spotlight, it will be turned into lumber for Habitat for Humanity.

It's quick to prepare because the polenta is cooked while the tomatoes are in the oven. The tomatoes were halved and placed in a baking dish. Then, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, fresh oregano leaves, and a pinch of sugar in my case, since I reduced the amount, were combined and poured over the tomatoes. This was baked for 20 minutes at 400 F. Meanwhile, milk and water were brought to a boil, polenta was slowly whisked in and then stirred until cooked, shredded parmigiano reggiano and fresh spinach were incorporated, and I added some kernels of fresh corn as well.
The polenta was served with tomato halves on top, pan juices from the tomatoes were spooned over it, and it was finished with a little extra shredded parmigiano. I tasted the two parts of the dish separately and thought both were great. Then, I tasted them together and realized what a great combination this was intended to be. So go ahead and put some balsamic roasted tomato in your spinach polenta, and you'll see what I mean.

When looking to buy a Ford Fiesta on lease in your surrounding area, you will need to check how much money you are able to afford to pay each month. We've got a number of different financial plans for you to choose from and can extend the lease to suit your needs.
Hire Purchase also shortened to HP is really a form of buying Ford car lease https://www.best-car-lease-deals.co.uk/newport/high-cross from a top-rated company which is paid back in instalments where payments are dispersed over 12-60 months and you typically (but not always) have to place down a 10% deposit.
A motor trader may arrange Personal Contract Hire, which is typically competitive for newer cars. For this sort of leases, you won't own the vehicle until you've paid the last payment; this is due to the credit is secured against the vehicle. It's the most common form of vehicular financing and you'll notice that when most people talk about 'car-leasing' they are really talking about personal contract hire.
You can decrease your payment per month by performing a personal contract plan on Hire Purchase. Instead of paying for your vehicle outright, you accept to pay the difference between its sale price and its cost for resale back to the dealership.

PCP finances generally have smaller sized monthly instalments after paying the deposit in comparison to alternative financial strategies. The reason behind this is PCP deals demand a big final sum or 'balloon payment' to be paid before the car becomes yours.
Getting a lease via personal leasing means you can pay monthly instalments as well as obtain maintenance within this, providing you don't go over the particular mileage agreed on. After the contract, you give the car back. In a personal finance agreement, the vehicle never belongs to you.
The benefits on this is driving at a fixed month-to-month price without any concerns regarding the car depreciating in worth. You can also look at private finance https://www.best-car-lease-deals.co.uk/leasing/private/newport/high-cross which may be ideal for you.
It is vital that you consider a number of factors before choosing a vehicle lease method. The most important thing to take into account is the payment per month charges; it is essential that you afford these so that you do not get in financial trouble or perhaps get the vehicle taken off you.
You'll also want to look at different interest rates. Remember that a larger down payment will usually mean a lower rate of interest. We advise examining the total price of borrowing and also the costs involved. Vehicle leasing costs can vary considerably depending on a number of different factors. We may alter our contracts and plans to meet your specific budget, so please do not hesitate to let us know how much you wish to spend per month.
A lot of insurance covers closest to you in High Cross NP10 9 may be pricey whilst offering minimal cover - you should consider this before purchasing PPI and GAP cover.

The Human Equivalent of Feeding Your Pet Snacks
You hear a whine from under the dinner table and there sits your poor dog waiting for you to toss him a metaphorical bone — or maybe even a real one. But what you have is a cookie, so you toss him that instead. No harm done, right, it's only a cookie?
In fact, given the size difference of humans and animals, a small portion of something for us can almost constitute a meal for your dog or cat. Our pets need remarkably few calories compared to our own caloric needs. Read on to see what different snacks mean in human terms when you feed them to your pet.
WARNING: Consult your vet before providing any "human food" as some may be dangerous for pets.
1. Oatmeal Cookie
One small oatmeal cookie for a 20 pound dog is the caloric equivalent of an entire hamburger for a person. For a human, that's around 300 calories, or almost a sixth of the average woman's recommended daily calories and an eighth of man's daily calorie intake. It could be worse, though: An oatmeal cookie at least provides some fiber — chocolate chip cookies, meanwhile, are a definite no-no since chocolate is harmful, and even toxic, to dogs.
2. Hot Dog
One hot dog for a 20 pound puppy is the caloric equivalent of three hamburgers for a person. That single hot dog may not look like much but it has around 175 calories, which is a third of what a 20 pound dog should be consuming. "I think people get gratification out of their pet eating and being happy about it, but they don't think about the long-term consequences," says Dr. James Darden, DVM, chief of staff at Banfield Pet Hospital in East Houston, Texas.
3. Cheese
One ounce of cheese for a 20 pound dog is the caloric equivalent of 1 ½ chocolate bars for a person. Cheese is loaded with fat — a single 1 oz. slice of American cheese packs 105 calories and 5.5 grams of saturated fat, while Cheddar is even worse: 114 calories and 6 grams of fat. That ounce of cheese constitutes about a third of a small dog's daily required calories, says Dr. Darden. "And for a cat it's worse — it's about half his daily caloric intake, so two slices of cheese for a cat is all it needs in a day."
4. Potato Chip
One potato chip for a 10 pound cat is the caloric equivalent of half a hamburger for a person. You may think that a thin potato chip is lighter than air, but don't forget that it's been fried in saturated fat and coated in sodium. For your small cat, you're almost providing lunch with a potato chip. A superior option, says Dr. Darden, is a small handful of kibble. He suggests you subtract whatever you feed your cat as a snack from her evening meal so she doesn't overeat.
5. Cup of Milk
One cup of milk for a 10 pound cat is the caloric equivalent of five chocolate bars for a person. Besides the fact that whole milk provides 122 calories per cup — and even skim clocks in at 86 calories — neither dogs nor cats should drink it because it can upset their stomach, says Dr. Darden. A good alternative is fruits or vegetables, especially frozen, such as green beans, peas, and apples. (Ed. Note: Consult your vet before providing any "human food," as some fruits and vegetables are dangerous for pets.
6. Peanut Butter
A single ounce of peanut butter (about a tablespoon) is close to cheese in calories, packing around 94 calories. It also contains around 8 grams of saturated fat, which is 12% of what a human needs, and of course far higher for a dog or cat. Just 8 to 10 tablespoons of seemingly innocuous peanut butter may be delicious, but it would provide all the calories a 30 pound dog should eat in a single day. And for a 10 pound dog, just three tablespoons would fulfil his daily caloric requirements.
7. Jerky Strips
Jerky strips are beloved by dog owners because they're easy and make no mess, but a single jerky strip provides around 88 calories. "So three of them for a small dog provides most of his caloric needs without any [significant nutritional value]," says Dr. Darden. "Every time you give one of these treats you're filling him up with extra calories and making our obesity numbers increase." Jerky strips are also very high in sodium (providing around 12% of a human's daily sodium needs), which can lead to high blood pressure in both dogs and cats.
8. Tuna
Almost every cat loves tuna, but at 36 calories per ounce she shouldn't be eating much of it, if at all. Despite the fact that tuna is a good lean protein source, it's not providing a balanced diet, says Darden. An ounce of tuna provides about 16% of the daily calories required for a 10 pound cat, he adds. "I'd stick with premium [pet food] brands rather than getting tuna off the shelf and preparing it myself."
What About Pet Treats?
Commercial pet treats are okay in moderation and if they are of high quality. Ask your veterinarian for some recommendations and don't forget to subtract the treat's calories from your pet's overall daily calorie consumption so he or she doesn't inadvertently become overweight.

Creating your OWN Awesome
That being said, in all honestly, I have to use these awesome resources sparingly. If I get sucked into the world of Pinterest for too long or keep clicking from one design/cooking/organizing blog to the next… after a while it actually stunts my creativity instead of fueling it; so know your limitations. Also, a lot of us feel that we don't want to make mistakes or fail, while trying something new, but if you focus too much on preventing failure, then you'll also avoid ever becoming successful and learning from your mistakes. Holding back that desire within to try something new can stifle your creativity as well.
So stop waiting, wondering and planning… START DOING!
(pinch me now)

Update from Inhae
Hello Readers,
I hope you all had a great summer! It's been a busy (and often stressful!) couple of months for me, but I'm excited to finally take a moment and share with you what I've been working on.
To begin, for anyone living in Northern California, I will be making an appearance at the Sonoma County Book Festival this Saturday (Sept. 22). There is a panel featuring authors who have transitioned their work from blogging to books that I will be participating in. I may possibly be signing books too. So if you're around, please stop by and say, "Hello"- I'd love to meet you.
And now, for what I've been working on:
First off, are canvas ickle and Lardee tote bags.
These tote bags will be available this year at the San Francisco Alternative Press Expo (Oct 13-14), and afterwards online. The bags were constructed especially for this project by a local sewing company using organic cotton canvas, and screen printed locally too. I love tote bags and use them regularly, so I made sure these bags were strong and made with care- I hope you like them.
Next is an update on the ickle and Lardee vinyl toys:
Above are the first prototypes for the toys. The models still need some final tweaks, but overall I'm very excited about how they are coming along. I'm aiming for a Christmas-time release, but that all depends on how quickly things can get moving. There will be a limited quantity available for presale in the coming months, so stay tuned- More updates to come.
Lastly, I'm excited to announce My Milk Toof: Book 2! I am aiming for a March 2013 release, and it will feature five brand new stories. This is still a long way from now, but I just wanted to let you know since many have been asking.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments and emails- I will try to update the blog more often once these projects settle down!

Any update on the toys? I have a young one that just can't wait. I've made some very miniature ickle and Lardee versions and just made an approx. 2" Lardee and he's waiting on ickle. However, I know mine are imperfect and he wants something that will be more durable to play with. (I'm using polymer clay.) Ickle are Lardee are very popular in our house!
- August 6, 2013 at 7:58 PM
yeah, is there any update on this? my nephew has been bugging me for his own ickle and lardee since last Christmas. it would also be awesome if the toys can be shipped internationally. :)

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.
First, people wore suits and ties, dresses or skirts to work. Then came casual Fridays. Then the tech industry destroyed dress codes. Congress is one of the last places people dress up, and we know how that's turned out.
Now the tech industry leads the way back. The Wall Street Journal reports some companies have formal Fridays now. Suits and ties have returned, a way for employees to escape the oppressive conformity of wearing hoodies and jeans. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

This page details the functionality of the Gramplets. If you would like to read more technical details about writing your own Gramplet, please see Gramplets. For more Gramplets that you can extend your Gramps functionality with, see Third-party Plugins.
What is a Gramplet
A Gramps Gramplet is a view of data that either changes dynamically during the running of Gramps, or provides interactivity to your genealogical data. Gramplets are the widgets that are part of Gramps and can be seen in the Dashboard Category, Sidebars and Bottombars in other Navigator Categories, they provide all kinds of functionality that can be useful for the researcher.
What is the difference between gramplets, reports, quick views, and tools?
- Reports provide a static output format of your data, typically for presentation
- Quick View provides a typically short, interactive listing derived from your data
- Tools provide a method of processing your data
- Gramplets provide a dynamic view and interface to your data
General Usage and Configuration
You can drag the Properties button (top left) of each Gramplet to move it around the Dashboard View area. You can click the Properties button to detach the Gramplet from Dashboard View and place it in its own window. The window will stay open regardless of page (relationship, ancestry, etc). Closing the detached view will put it back onto the Dashboard view. If you quit Gramps with a open gramplet, when you start gramps again, it will open automatically.
When one or more Gramplets are undocked from the Dashboard View, you can change to a different view (such as the People or Charts Views). In this way, you can use these gramplets to supplement a particular view with additional details and functionality provided by the gramplet.
You can add new gramplets by right clicking on an open space on Dashboard view.
You can also change the number of columns by changing a setting in configure the active view to open the Configure Gramplets window, to change the Dashboard Layouts > Number of Columns.
If a link in a Gramplet is to a specific person, then clicking the link will change the Active Person. Double-clicking such any link to a specific Gramps item (such as person or family) will bring up the Editor for that item. To edit a linked person without changing the Active Person, right-click on the person link. Depending on the type of entry, double-clicking any row in a Quick View table will either select more specific data (drill down) or bring up the editor.
Double-clicking the title of a gramplet docked in the Dashboard Category allows you to change the display title.
Want Additional Gramplets To get more Gramplets use the Plugin Manager to get additional Addons for you. Check the list of the available reports here. |

Gramplets available in the Dashboard Category
When you first start the Dashboard Category you will see two default Gramplets; the Welcome to Gramps (Message) Gramplet and the Top Surnames Gramplet.
This section describes each gramplet available from the Dashboard Category and its basic functionality.
Age on Date Gramplet
This Gramplet gives you the possibility of entering a date in an entry field. If you click Run the Gramplet will compute the ages for everyone in your Family Tree living on that Date. The date must be entered in a format that Gramps accepts.
You can sort the Quick Report by the Name and Age columns. Right clicking the row opens a context menu for opening Person Editor and activating the person.
Age Stats Gramplet
The Age Stats gramplet shows graphs of the breakdown of 5 years age spans, of three stats: all people, difference between father and child and difference between mother and child. Clicking on a row will bring up the associated people in Quick Report.
Double clicking a row in a stats opens a Quick Report of all people contained in the row. You can sort the Quick Report by the Name, Birth Date and Name Type columns. Right clicking the row opens a context menu for opening Person Editor and activating the person.
You can change the gramplet's options by selecting from toolbar the configure active view button.
Calendar Gramplet
The Calendar gramplet shows a monthly calendar. Double-click a day to run the On This Day Quick View.
With the < and > buttons top left corner (month) you can change to the previous and next month.
With the < and > buttons top right corner (year) you can change to the previous and next year.
The Quick View window shows you the Events of the selected day: Events on this exact date and Other events on this Month/day in history as well as Other events in that year.
The information is presented in a table showing:
- Date
- Type
- Place
- Reference
You can also drag a date to the date field of the Age on Date Gramplet to enter that date.
Given Name Cloud Gramplet
Like the Surname Cloud Gramplet, the Given Name Cloud gramplet shows the top most popular given names in your family tree. The size of the name indicates how popular it is. Mouse over the name to see the exact count, and the percent of people in the family tree that have that name.
The gramplet splits up given names into words (broken up by spaces). For example "Sarah Elizabeth" would appear under both "Sarah" and "Elizabeth".
Double-click on the given name to bring up a Quick View of all of the matching people.
Quick View Gramplet
The Quick View gramplet allows you to run a Quick View, it updates as you move from person to person. (Currently, only People Quick Views can be run).
You can run any of the Quick Views for a person.
You can change the options by clicking the Option button (top, left hand button of the Gramplet) which will detach the gramplet and bring it up an a window. Select Options on the top row, and a list of options will appear. Press Save to apply the changes to the Quick View. You may then close the window to reattach the gramplet.
Currently, the Quick View Gramplet doesn't remember which Quick View between Gramps sessions, so you'll have to reselect it when you restart Gramps. (This will be fixed in an upcoming version of Gramps ???).
Records Gramplet
The Records Gramplet shows a number of interesting facts about the records (mostly age related) from your database. The list shows the top three for each element.
- Youngest living person
- Oldest living person
- Person died at youngest age
- Person died at oldest age
- Person married at youngest age
- Person married at oldest age
- Person divorced at youngest age
- Person divorced at oldest age
- Youngest father
- Youngest mother
- Oldest father
- Oldest mother
- Couple with most children
- Living couple married most recently
- Living couple married most long ago
- Shortest past marriage
- Longest past marriage
The list is not only interesting on its own, it is also a good sanity check of the data. For some items you have to fill in some additional information.
This following example shows that there was a marriage event (thus calculation of the offset) but none of the persons had a death event. Even if the date is not known, just enter a death event for one of the partners and the list will be corrected.
Living couple married most long ago # van Dosselaere, Egidius and Rechters, Petronella (382 years, 1 month) # de Richter, Petrus and Asscericx, Catharina (379 years, 9 months)
Session Log Gramplet
The session log keeps track of activity in this session. It lists selected and edited objects.
Click a name once to make this person the active person. Double-click on a name or family brings up the edit page for that object. In addition, if you want to edit a person, but don't want to change the active person, you can right-click on the person's name.
This gramplet is handy because you can very quickly change the active person, or edit the object, from the session list.
Statistics Gramplet
The Statistics gramplet runs a Statistics report. Double-click the phrases to bring up the matching items.
Following information is provided to you in this Gramplet:
- Individuals
- Number of individuals
- Males
- Females
- Individuals with unknown gender
- Individuals with incomplete names
- Individuals with missing birth dates
- Disconnected individuals
- Family information
- Number of families
- Unique surnames
- Media objects
- Individuals with media objects
- Total numbers of media object references
- Number of unique media objects
- Total size of media objects
- Missing Media Objects
As with all Gramplets if you click on the left hand side Tool button you detach the window and if you add persons to your family tree, you will see the amount of individuals change dynamically.
Surname Cloud Gramplet
The surname cloud gramplet shows the top 100 (by default) used surnames. The name font size is proportional to the amount of people with the same name.
Double-click a surname to run the Same Surnames Quick View. This will open the Quick View window where you can find all people with a matching or alternate name. Person, birth date and name type are given.
If you mouse over the name you see the percentage of occurrence and total counts.
Change the number of names displayed by editing this section in ~/.gramps/gramps40/gramplets.ini
To Do Gramplet
A To Do Gramplet is free form text area. You can use this area to put some notes, remarks, things you should to get your research going. There are several other To Do programs (e.g. Tomboy e.a.) but these Gramplets are useful as the information stays within the Gramps database.
To Do Gramplets allow you to create notes and attach them to Gramps objects. For example, you can add a Person To Do Gramplet to the sidebar of the Person View. Notes added using this Gramplet will be attached to the currently active person. There is a To Do Gramplet for each Gramps primary object type.
There is also To Do gramplet available for the Dashboard that lists all To Do notes in the database, together with the object to which they are attached.
Top Surnames Gramplet
The top surnames gramplet shows the top 10 (by default) used surnames.
The top ten is presented as follows:
- Surname
- percentage
- occurrences
The list gives you also the Total unique surnames in the database as well as the total number of people in your database.
Double-click a surname to run the Same Surnames Quick View. This opens the Quick View window, which gives the people with the surname you double-clicked.
A table is presented which shows all people with a matching name or alternate name. Person's name, birth date and name type is given.
Change the number of names displayed by editing this section in ~/.gramps/gramplets.ini
Welcome Gramplet
The welcome gramplet gives an introductory message to new users, and some basic instructions.
The welcome message describes what Gramps is, that the program is Open Source Software and how you start a Family Tree.
This information can also be found on the start page of Gramps
What's Next Gramplet
The What's Next Gramplet displays a list of the "most urgent" information gaps in your family tree. It is based on the following assumptions:
- You want to know first and last name, birth date and place, and death date and place of each person
- You want to know father, mother, marriage date and place, and - if divorced - divorce date and place of each family with married parents
- You want to know at least the mother of each family with unmarried parents
- The closer the relationship to the main person, the more "urgent" the information gap is.
- The closer the common ancestor is from the main person, the more "urgent" the information is (e.g. nephews are considered more "urgent" than uncles, even though both have a distance of 3, because for nephews the common ancestor is father/mother, while for uncles, the common ancestor is grandfather/grandmother)
- Marriage data and personal data of the spouse is slightly less "urgent" than personal data of the directly related person
- Half brothers are less "urgent" than brothers
Gramplets available in the Sidebar and bottombar of other Categories
Since Gramps 4.0 we have common and specific gramplets according active view (navigation/category).
- Back references gramplets are like the references tab on object Editor.
- Filter gramplet is like the previous filter sidebar
- Common models for Notes, Gallery, Sources, Citations, Events
- Children gramplet on Person views (also ancestry category and relations), family view
People Category
Attributes Gramplet
The Attributes gramplet shows all of the attributes for the current, active person. Double click on the name of the attribute, and you will run a Quick View that shows all of the people that have that attribute, and the values for it. You can sort the Quick View by the attribute value by clicking on the column name.
In the Quick View, highlight the entry to change the active person (which will then change the Attributes Gramplet), and double-click the Quick View entry to bring up the Edit Person dialog window.
Descendant Gramplet
The Descendant gramplet shows the direct descendants of the active person.
The order of the spouses and children is that given in the Gramps editor. To change the order of spouses, click on Order on the Relationship view. To change the order of children, drag and drop them in the correct order in the Family edit window.
This gramplet is based on the Descendant Report, available from the Textual Reports.
The Descendant gramplet will update when you change the active person, or change family trees. It does not update automatically for edits or additions because this report is time-consuming to run.
Minimizing a gramplet will prevent it from updating.
Person details
Fan Chart Gramplet
The Fan Chart gramplet shows the direct ancestors of the active person in a circular format. It is similar to the Pedigree View, but shown around the center/active person, and further generations spiralling out.
Click on a parent in the chart and they will expand or contract above their child. Right-click on a person and you can:
- select that person to be the active person
- edit the person
- select from among the person's relatives to be the active person
Clicking in an open area (non-person) and dragging the mouse will allow you to rotate the chart about the center. In Gramps 4.0, you may also left-click and drag in the center to reposition the fan chart.
A white edge on the outer radius of the chart indicates more parents for that person. A black circle in the center indicates that the center person has children.
The Fan Chart gramplet will update when you change the active person, or change family trees.
Minimizing a gramplet will prevent it from updating.
Pedigree Gramplet
The Pedigree gramplet shows a compressed view of the active person's direct ancestors. It defaults to going back 100 generations. The names can be clicked to change the active person, double-clicked (or right-click) to edit the person. This Gramplet also shows at the bottom of the gramplet the number of people per generation. Double-click the Generation number to see the matching individuals.
In Gramps 4.0, you can now see birth and death dates next to a person's name.
Relatives Gramplet
This Gramplet shows all direct relatives of the active person. It's intended use is as a navigation help, an alternative way to move through your Gramps database. If you detach the gramplet, and place it next to Gramps, it will allow you to use it to easily change the content of the current "person view".
If you are working in the ancestry views, the active person is the left-most person. By clicking a name in the relatives gramplet, you can easily change the active person, and all person view in the other window will update. As the relatives gramplet shows all spouses, all children and all parents, this offers an alternative way of navigating your data.
The names in this gramplet also allow you to call up the person editor directly, by right-clicking on any of the names.

Today Apple released iOS 6.1, adding improvements to Siri and iTunes Match (among other things). Perhaps more exciting, however, is the greater likelihood that we'll finally see an untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.
While the update may let you buy movie tickets with your voice, make iTunes Match work a little better, and add LTE to several new international markets, iTunes 6.1 is the update jailbreaks have been waiting for. Generally a jailbreak isn't released until Apple releases their first major point update. Now that it's here, we'll hopefully see a jailbreak option surface sometime in February. In the meantime, however, you can enjoy some improved features and bug fixes courtesy of Apple. The update is available in iTunes or through your device directly in the Settings app (General -> Software Update).
iOS 6.1 released to all with Siri movie ticket support and iTunes Match improvements | The Verge

I recently realized that it has been quite a while since I last did anything with seafood which is kind of disappointing considering how much I enjoy it. In order to resolve the problem I pulled out this idea for a Vietnamese style caramel salmon banh mi which has been on the back of my mind for even longer. When I first came across the idea of using caramel in a savoury dish in Vietnamese cuisine I was immediately curious and tried it only to be surprised at how well it really does work! I have been using the Vietnamese style caramel sauce ever since, using it in a number of dishes and I figured that it would go really well on creamy salmon and that that would go well in a tasty banh mi sandwich!
This recipe starts out by simmering sugar and water in a pan until it turns a deep golden brown when you add some more liquid to turn the thickened caramel into a sauce. The sauce is then seasoned with fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, shallots and chilies for some heat. Really at this point you could throw anything into the sauce and it would come out amazing but this time it was salmon.
The moist, tender and buttery salmon goes so well in the caramel sauce! It is just packed with flavour and the spicy heat from the birds eye chili is perfect. Of course, things only get better when you put the caramel salmon into a banh mi sandwich with cucumber, jalapenos, pickled daikon radish and carrots along with mayo and plenty of fresh cilantro!
One thing that I did not count on was just how big these sandwiches were going to be! Open wide!

- 1/4 cup pickled daikon radish
- 1/4 cup pickled carrots

- 2 cloves garlic, chopped

- Heat the water and sugar over medium heat and simmer until it turns a deep golden brown.
- Mix the fish sauce, lime juice, and water and carefully add it to the pan, then heat until the caramel dissolves.
- Add the chili, garlic and shallots and simmer until tender, about a minute.
- Add the salmon and simmer until cooked, about 2-3 minutes per side and set aside.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer the sauce until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve the salmon along with the reduced and thickened sauce poured over it.

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula's second-in-command has been killed in Yemen, a government website reports.
Saudi national Saeed al-Shehri was killed in the Hadramawt area of southern Yemen along with six other militants, according to the website and ministry of defense officials quoted by the BBC.
Al-Shehri was released from Guantanamo Bay in 2007 and is alleged later to have been part of a failed Christmas 2009 plot to bomb Northwest Airlines Flight 253, en route from Amsterdam to Detroit. Nigerian-born Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who sought to blow up the airliner with a bomb concealed in his underwear, pleaded guilty to the crime and was sentenced to life in prison earlier this year.
UPDATE at 10:50 ET:
The Associated Press quotes Yemeni Defense Ministry officials, who asked not to be identified, as saying al-Shehri was killed by a missile fired by a U.S. drone. The U.S. does not normally comment on such operations.

New Survey Reveals How Parents Really Feel About Kids Going Back to School
While kids may be dreading going back to school, their parents are dancing in the streets.
A new survey has found 76% of parents are happy their children are returning to school. This statistic comes despite the fact 83% of parents said they were happy their little ones would be home for the summer, proving they are probably worn out once the calendar turns to September.
And parents seem to also have a different understanding of the phrase 'stay in school.' That's because 44% say they'd like school to last school longer each day and 47% want school to last more months.
As for homework, 51% of parents say they would swap it for a longer school day. Seventy percent of parents say their kids get the right amount of homework, while 17% say it's too much and 13% say it's not enough.
