Vegetable Biryani from 'River Cottage Veg'
Get the Recipe
Biryani is a celebratory dish of rice and curry, often featuring meat. Luckily, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's vegetarian version in River Cottage Veg doesn't suffer from its absence. His base is a richly spiced stew of potatoes, peas, and carrots, fragrant with cardamom, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, and coriander. A fluffy layer of saffron basmati rice tops the curry and manages to retain its own character, even after a second round of cooking. The final touches of caramelized onions, toasted almonds, and chopped cilantro add enough vibrancy to the dish that it's easy to forget that it's meatless.
Why I picked this recipe: Frankly, most biryani recipes I've tried haven't worked very well, so I wanted to see if Fearnley-Whittingstall's version was up to snuff.
What worked: This one went off without a major hitch. The rice stayed fluffy, the curry was distinctly fragrant, and the meal came together with relative ease.
What didn't: Next time I'll start caramelizing the onions earlier (perhaps before starting any other elements) to give them a chance to really cook down. These quickly browned onions were okay, but would've been better with more time on the stove.
Suggested tweaks: You could play with the vegetables in the curry if you'd like. Cauliflower would be a nice addition, as would sweet potatoes.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of River Cottage Veg to give away this week.

"CULT" - (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET)
"You're Next" (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)
MATT DAVIS OF "THE VAMPIRE DIARIES" STARS IN A NEW DRAMA - Investigative journalist Jeff Sefton (Davis) has learned to live with his younger brother Nate's (guest star James Pizzinato "Alcatraz") relentless string of obsessions, especially his latest rant that a hit TV show called "Cult" intends to harm him. When his brother mysteriously disappears, Jeff enlists Skye Yarrow (Jessica Lucas, "Cloverfield," "Melrose Place"), a young research assistant working on "Cult," to help with his investigation into the dark underworld of the TV show and its rabid fans. Meanwhile, in the parallel worlds of the show-within-a-show, the cult's ruthless leader, Billy Grimm, is played by actor Roger Reeves (the double role of Billy/Roger is played by Robert Knepper ("Prison Break," "Shameless"), a man whose primary agenda is winning back his former follower and lover, Kelly Collins, played by actress Marti Gerritsen (the double role of Kelly/Marti is played by Alona Tal ("Supernatural," "The Killing"). Since escaping from the cult, Kelly has become an LAPD detective who finds herself drawn back into an investigation of the group's activities as she struggles to keep Billy at a safe distance. As the television show grows in popularity, cast members Roger and Marti begin to feel the effects in their "real" lives. Jason Ensler directed the episode written by Rockne S. O'Bannon (#101).

This one is brought to us by Amateur Hour, our good friend Erik Baldwin. Enjoy….
Home Brewing is a Lot Like Fishing
(And other observations of mildly compulsive pleasuredrinkers)
In the same way that a lazy parent bribes an annoying child with candy to stay quiet during an important phone call, the Beer Blotter Crew bribes me with promises of public exposure to keep my fingers out of the sparge during the brew process.
Act One: The Dedicated Amateur
Amateurs like to speculate. From our position, hovering like fruit flies around the rotting tomato of professionalism, we've learned that the best way accomplish any goal is to slightly modify expert instructions by adding our own clever shortcuts. Flying in the face of safety, logic and tradition, the dedicated amateur can turn even the simplest task into a labyrinthine convolution of do-overs and back pedaling. This is evidenced clearly in the homebrew process.
"Wow, that looks pretty lumpy" (Poke the sparge with my car key)
"That's not sanitary. You could contaminate the entire batch"
The dedicated amateur knows the best way to deal with a contamination issue is to hope for the best.
"Nah, It'll probably be ok, my car keys are pretty clean, as far as car keys go. I drive a BMW".
Act Two: Yeah, I'll be back in a minute
Anybody who's ever brewed beer at home knows it's a waiting game. Waiting for water to heat up, waiting to add grain, waiting for wort to cool down… Bah. The dedicated amateur recognizes these gaps in productivity as opportunities to drink beer somebody else has conveniently brewed for you.
Because of repeated and prolonged absences during the brew process, much of the amateur's understanding of how beer is made is gleaned from questions ex post facto.
"So, did you guys add the hops yet?"
"No, we're just sanitizing the kettle right now."
"Oh, for sure, yeah. Let me know if you need anything, I'll be inside for just a quick second."
(2 hours pass)
"Boy, that malt really smells good, when are you going to add it?"
"That's trail mix. I brought it to snack on."
The dedicated amateur, above all else, knows better. When he sees someone struggling at a simple task, such as seating a cork firmly into a carboy, he is more than willing to do it right for them.
"Damn, this cork isn't fitting right."
"Here, let me try it." (plop) "Yeah, no, it doesn't fit. Somehow it fell right in. Is that a problem?"
"Get the hell out of here."
"Hmmm. Yeah."

Review by JoshB
King Saurus the third (or III)(キングザウルス三世) is an Ultra Kaiju - meaning he is a Kaiju (monster) from the Ultraman series of TV shows. In particular, King Saurus is first seen in the 1971 series "Return of Ultraman" (帰ってきたウルトラマン).
King Zaurus's full name literally translates to "Ancient monster meteor kick zaurus King III" (古代怪獣キングザウルス三世). He first appeared in Episode 4 of Return of Ultraman, dated 1971/4/23.
There have been many reissues of this toy over the years. This first release came out in 1989, followed by 1991, 1995 and 1998, Reisses can be marked by different colored vinyl. The original is in grey, followed by a purple-ish release.
These two toys were owned by the same child in Japan. Can anyone figure out his name? It's written on the bottom of the feet:
As a special bonus...
I tried to find video of King Saurus III in action, but instead i came across this.
Daicon Film's Return of Ultraman, from 1983, an Ultraman parody film written/directed/starring Hidaeki Anno (you know, that Evangelion guy). It's pure otaku goodness. Long, but worth it.

CANBERRA (Reuters) - Bookmakers suspended betting on an Australian Rules club on Friday due to doping claims, as police warned of significant match-fixing risks due to large Asian betting pools, citing A$40 million in wagers on one local soccer match.
Australia's top criminal intelligence body said on Thursday that organised crime had a growing influence over local sport and that the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs increased the risks of match-fixing.
Authorities have confirmed one potentially fixed match, but will not identify the sport. Officials from the local Australian Rules football organisation (AFL), and the Football Federation of Australia (FFA), which runs soccer, have said there are currently no match-fixing investigations underway.
Police would not confirm whether they had any match-fixing investigations underway, adding they would not necessarily notify sporting bodies due to sensitive information, often gained through telephone intercepts.
An FFA spokesman on Friday said they were looking to identify the 2012 soccer match which attracted the $40 million Asian in bets.
"It is understood the FFA is looking into identifying the match relating to this betting plunge but has received no information relating to a breach of integrity in any of its matches," the spokesman said.
European police on Monday revealed a global football betting scam, involving a Singapore-based syndicate which had directed match-fixing for at least 380 soccer games in Europe alone, making at least eight million euros ($11 million).
About 680 suspicious matches including qualifying games for the World Cup and European Championships, and the Champions League for top European club sides, were identified in an inquiry by European police forces.
Police in the state of Victoria have expressed concerns that the increasingly large bets from Asia have increased the risks of soccer match-fixing in Australia's top flight A-League.
"We had over A$40 million ($41.25 million) just with one Asian bookmaker alone, one of the legal bookmakers, on one A-League match here in Victoria," Assistant Commissioner Graham Ashton said on Thursday.
"Certainly we think soccer is a big risk, cricket is another and tennis.
"When this betting is occurring to that level it becomes attractive for crime figures to want to get involved to fix matches. It is really a significant risk factor when you see these pools build up to that extent."
Ashton said the biggest risk was on spot fixing, where gamblers can bet on incidents during a game, such as a first goal or a player missing a goal, rather than fixing the results of an entire game.
"In the Australian cultural context we would consider fixing a whole match to be morally unacceptable," he said.
"But to miss a shot for a score or fail to take a mark is more acceptable when large sums of money are involved."
Australian bookmakers Sportsbet and Tattsbet on Friday suspended betting on Australian rules team Essendon, which has been embroiled in a scandal over players taking potentially illicit performance supplements.
The club this week asked the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority to investigate the supplements given to players last season.
"Given the events surrounding Essendon, the most prudent thing to do was to suspend the betting," Sportsbet spokesman Ben Hawes told Reuters.
Sportsbet has suspended betting on all pre-season cup matches for Essendon, and for the opening match of the main AFL season between Essendon and Adelaide on March 22. It has also suspended betting for Essendon to make the 2013 playoffs.
Tattsbet has suspended bets on the Essendon-Adelaide match, and all betting on all teams to make the September finals.
A report by Australia's top criminal intelligence body, the Australian Crime Commission (ACC), released on Thursday found organised crime was involved in trafficking illicit performance enhancing drugs and had infiltrated some sports businesses.

In addition to selling the renewable energy credits (RECs) generated by using landfill gas to help finance the overall cost of the project, UNH purchased a second generator for the cogeneration plant and will sell power in excess of campus needs to the electric grid. UNH will invest REC funds in additional energy efficiency projects on campus.Credit: Erin Gleason, UNH Photographic Services.
After two years and a $49 million investment, the University of New Hampshire (UNH) in Durham, N.H., has completed its EcoLineTM project and is moving forward on its goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2020.
UNH launched the project in September 2007 and completed it in May of this year. The university, the first in the country to depend on landfill gas as its primary fuel source, purchases processed methane from the Turnkey Recycling and Environmental Enterprise (TREE) facility in Rochester, N.H., which is owned and managed by Waste Management Inc. Depending on the quality of the gas, the facility can produce up to 85 percent of the electricity and heat consumed on the university's 5 million-square-foot campus.
The completion of the EcoLine project is the latest stage in the operation of UNH's co-generation (co-gen) plant, a $28-million combined heat and power facility that opened three years ago. Facility heat typically lost during the production of electricity warms campus buildings, making more efficient use of the university's power resources. The process ultimately reduces sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions. During the first year of operation, the co-gen plant reduced greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 21 percent in academic year (AY) 2006 over AY 2005.
A 12.7-mile pipeline brings purified landfill gas from Waste Management's Turnkey Recycling and Environmental Enterprise (TREE) facility in Rochester to the University of New Hampshire campus in Durham, where it will provide up to 85 percent of the university's energy needs.Credit: Perry Smith, UNH Photographic Services.
UNH's investment in the project covers the processing facility at the landfill, 300 extraction wells and a series of collection pipes. The facility uses compression refrigeration and heating and activated charcoal to clean the methane gas of compounds such as siloxanes (typically produced by the breakdown of materials, most notably health and beauty care products). Facility processes then odorize the gas (for leak-detection safety) before it travels 12.7 miles from TREE to UNH through 12-inch diameter, high-density polyethylene piping. The piping system runs underground along the roads of Rochester and Spaulding Turnpike.
The EcoLine project provides UNH with much-needed energy security. Higher fuel costs have contributed to the university's energy costs nearly doubling in the last five years, growing at an annual rate of 18.9 percent. This is due to increasing costs in the commodity and delivery of energy. Using renewable, landfill gas in the co-gen plant will stabilize those costs and ensure the plant has a dependable source of fuel for decades to come. UNH anticipates a payback period of 10 years.
The project is expected to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions—67 percent below 2005 levels and 57 percent below 1990 levels. As part of UNH's climate action plan (WildCAP, see related story below) EcoLine will help the university reach its carbon-neutral goal. Under the plan, UNH has committed to an average 3 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, with reduction goals of 50 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the United States has 3,091 landfills and 560 of these show potential to support a similar project. It's clear that countless other educational institutions, municipalities, and organizations could benefit from using landfill gas as a primary or supplementary source of power. For years now, landfills have been seen as a necessary evil. Projects like EcoLine could change that perception.

EpicAdvice is a Community Driven knowledge base powered by World of Warcraft players. We help players at every level of the game find answers to the questions that plague them. We also provide a fun, reputation based system to prove your knowledge of the game. Our website provides an entertaining way to create and maintain an active Knowledge Base. We have already attained a Google PageRank of 5 within our first few months and are growing rapidly.
World of Warcraft players and Video Gamers.
According to "The Daedalus Project"
"From the survey data, the average age of the WoW player is 28.3 (SD = 8.4). 84% of players are male. 16% are female. Female players are significantly older (M = 32.5, SD = 10.0) than male players (M = 28.0, SD = 8.4). On average, they spend 22.7 (SD = 14.1) hours per week playing WoW."
To put it simple: an Epic logo. We are out to create an identity that represents the main stream World of Warcraft community. We need a logo/identity that people will identify with and makes us seem "epic".
Our site is currently up and running in Beta, which you can find at http://epicadvice.com. It is not our final design, so please don't use our colors, unless you can make it way better than what we have.
- Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
- A vector-based logo, illustrator files preferred.
- A rastered version that will fit well into our current website. Exact dimensions are unimportant.
What we would like:
- The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out, maybe emphasizing on "Epic" with advice as a subhead? Be creative!
- Strong in Black and White, stronger with the colors used.
- A unique logo that fits a "Video Game Feel", yet can be sleek and re-usable.
- Design that would work well on many different colored backgrounds (re-usable for other media; ie shirts, coffee mugs, etc)
Some idea's we've had:
- World of Warcraft uses #b048f8 as the "Epic" color in the game, incorporating that purple or something similar would be familiar with our audience.
- Possibly using "Advice" as an "Epic Item", which won't mean much to non-wow players, but kudos to you if you can figure that one out.

LONDON (Reuters) - Just as Britain's government is trying to clear a path for the politically sensitive sale of its 39 percent stake in Lloyds bank, resentment is brewing among the investors who would be expected to buy the stock.
Some fund managers say they are wary of buying stock released in staggered sales until banks and regulators clarify the rules on how quickly company owners are allowed to sell more shares - a dispute that could hurt large stock offers such as Lloyds.
They say they have been burned before by banks allowing owners to bypass lock-up agreements, which are meant to prevent too much stock hitting the market too fast and pushing the share price down.
Any boycott could complicate the privatization of Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L), one of the government's most high-profile strategies to show it is improving Britain's national finances and getting banks to lend more to businesses.
"Decisions to blacklist are on people's agenda," said one fund manager at a UK investment house running around 80 billion pounds in assets. "This goes right to the heart of whether we have trust in the markets in which we operate."
This shareholder and the other investors who talked to Reuters all declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the situation.
The debate was prompted by a deal in May, where Lloyds sold 15 percent of wealth manager St James's Place (SJP.L), just over 10 weeks after a previous sale, despite having agreed not to reduce its stake further for at least a year.
The lock-up was waived by bookrunner Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAC.N). Lloyds and BoAML declined to comment.
Although lock-ups are waived relatively often, and investors are warned that the timetable for additional share sales can change, it usually happens closer to the expiry date than in the St James's case.
A person familiar with the matter said the sale had the backing of the Treasury and of UKFI, the organization which manages the government's stakes in banks, because Lloyds needed to boost its capital, and the offer drew strong demand.
However, investors say they want clarity on the terms and conditions under which such agreements can be waived.
The government has flagged it is ready to start offloading shares in Lloyds and on Friday began the process of appointing advisors for the sale, which is expected to take place incrementally over many months.
Further down the line, the government will also look to sell down its even larger stake - 81 percent - in Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L).
"It is very important the authorities do what they can to shore up investor confidence before the likes of Lloyds and RBS come to market. They will be some of the biggest partial stake sales seen for a long time," said a second UK investor at a fund management firm running around 50 billion pounds ($76 billion) of assets.
The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has written to regulator the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) asking them to look at the issue of lock-ups and their importance in maintaining an orderly market, three people familiar with the matter said. The ABI declined to comment.
Some investors are waiting for the outcome of the ABI's discussions with regulators and bankers on whether Lloyds and its advisers behaved appropriately before deciding whether to impose boycotts.
A spokesman for the FCA said the regulator was aware of the issue and was looking into whether this comes under its remit.
People working in equity capital markets say waiving a lock-up is not a decision which is taken lightly, and is only usually done when a stock price has performed strongly, investors want more shares and the seller has a legitimate reason for wanting to raise money.
"While exercising waivers does undermine the integrity of any other lock-ups, generally such early sales are only likely to happen when there is reasonable market demand, thus clearing share overhangs when the market has the appetite," a third investor said, echoing this sentiment.
St James's Place shares had risen 25.5 percent between the first and second sales. The second sale was done at a 9.4 percent discount and after the sale the shares opened nearly 11 percent below the previous day's closing price.
"There is a requirement on companies to take all reasonable care to make sure that any announcement they make to the market is not misleading, false or deceptive and doesn't omit anything that is likely to impact the significance of what they are announcing," the first investor said.
"There is a real question here about whether this contravenes the rules and the FCA needs to clarify this."

"I'm a f---in' madman jack and don't f---in' forget it!"
And that my friend were the very first words that Sonny Meyers ever spoke to me on my first night with Al Tomko's memorable All Star Wrestling at BCTV in Vancouver.
I didn't know anything about any of the characters there in Vancouver. I had started in the wrestling business a few short months earlier. I had gotten a lucky break working on the AWA shows and they suggested that I go somewhere to get some seasoning. I ended up talking to Al and he booked me so off I went.
I didn't know much about the business at the time. I grew up a tough kid from a broken home so I had no worries about taking care of myself. The only advice I got heading out there was from Buddy Lane who told me to put any money I had in my boot when I wrestled so nobody would steal it from me.
So there I was looking at this guy with his fists taped and his hair bleached telling me he was crazy. Okay I thought, he is a madman.
And a madman the amazing Sonny was. He was one of those people who come into your life that you were glad you knew. He never ceased to stop amazing me. And I would like to go on the record by saying that according to Sonny, in a dressing room one night, he declared I was about the only guy in the business he never had heat with. I don't know what it was, but Sonny and I got along famously well.
If you ask anybody who ever worked out of Vancouver for a Sonny story, you'd better have a couple of hours clear because there were so many. I'll try to do a highlight reel, but really you had to know Sonny to appreciate any of these.
Sonny strolls in and we get a beer. He tells me that he has heat with the office because he has been doing a lot of promotional appearances. He said that Al is pissed but as Sonny explained, "it's not my f---in' fault if his kids can't get over in a bar."
I then ask him why he still has his fists tapped? "You never know what the f--- is going to go down, Jack." Well, nothing went down that night but he did win me over that night in a really strange sort of way.
Meanwhile in the green room the boys exploded with laughter and Al came running. "Jesus," he bellowed, "is that Sonny in the crowd?" Just then we could all hear Sonny yell out "bring your own f---in' girl Jack!" The green room exploded again with laughter and Al almost fell over. No wonder it was hard for Al to get angles across.
Those are only the tip of the iceberg. Al Tomko must have fired Sonny so many times, one could never really count. He would be gone and then return. When we would ask him where he was he would say, "I was in f---in' Tacoma Jack, making f---in' donuts." No idea if it was true but a great line anyway.
I used love the nights that I worked with Sonny. He could carry anybody and I honestly believe that he raised my game to a whole new level every night I worked him. He truly amazed me with his ability. He was as smooth as anybody who ever laced up books and he absolutely knew how to control a crowd and deliver a great match every night. He was an absolute dream and joy to wrestle.
Many a night they would tell us to go 20 minutes but Sonny had the crowd so wild you would run over by 10 or even 20 minutes. Al would come in and yell at us after but it was so worth it to be in front of people with Sonny.
I believe in life that we are all given gifts. It is no secret that Sonny had some demons that he fought during his life. But Sonny's greatest gift was what he gave to fans on a nightly basis. Love him or hate him, he was a person who had the unique ability to positivity take people out of their current lives to suspend disbelief and buy into exactly what Sonny was selling them. They would travel to the magical world where the Madman Sonny Meyers directed the orchestra with a baton that only God could give him.
Rest in peace, madman. I look forward to seeing you down the road one day, Jack. Sonny, you brightened up my life on many a night and feel truly blessed to call you a friend.

Judge Actually Recognizes The 4th Amendment: Says Police Can't Get Location Info From Telcos To Arrest You
from the they-have-other-ways... deptWith all the reports of law enforcement collecting tons of location info from telcos without a warrant, as well as a bunch of court rulings that seem to chip away at what's left of the 4th Amendment, it's somewhat surprising to see a magistrate judge say that police cannot use a warrant to find out your location from a mobile operator, for the purpose of arresting you. From Orin Kerr's summary of the ruling:
Here's the basic reasoning of the opinion. First Judge Gauvey creates what a appears to be a new distinction in Fourth Amendment law: a distinction between (a) Fourth Amendment rights in location at a given time, and (b) Fourth Amendment rights in movement over time. According to Judge Gauvey, individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in both. There is a reasonable expectation of privacy as to a person's location if a person cannot be visually observed in that same way. And there is a reasonable expectation of privacy in movements, which Judge Gauvey seems to be taking from the DC Circuit's Maynard/Jones "mosaic theory" case (which the Supreme Court recently agreed to hear). Judge Gauvey then reasons that if everyone has this Fourth Amendment right, people who have warrants out for their arrest have this right to privacy, too. For that reason, the information held by the phone company as to the location of the phone user is protected by the Fourth Amendment.Kerr suggests that the case law actually disagrees with the judge in this case, and even the judge appears to admit that she thinks the Supreme Court might disagree, but she said without specific guidance from the Supreme Court, she believes her ruling is correct.
Judge Gauvey then considers whether the Fourth Amendment allows a warrant to be issued based on probable cause that the information will help execute an arrest warrant. She concludes the answer is no: A Fourth Amendment warrant requires probable cause that evidence or contraband is located in the place to be searched or that a person who committed a crime is in the place to be searched. Mere probable cause to believe that location information would help the police execute a warrant is not enough under the Fourth Amendment.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Friday, September 21, 2007
"It looks pretty rosy in hindsight..."
How does Charlie Allen feel about those days?
"Looking back", says the artist, "the mid-1900's was a great time to be an illustrator...an era when the print media still ruled. Illustration was a small profession...you had to be good to survive. There were magazines, newspapers, billboards, trade ads...all kinds of venues that used illustration...and, like razor blades, they needed continuous replacing."
"The 'Western look' was lead by Fred Ludekens and a bunch of my San Francisco contemporaries.....Stan Galli, Bruce Bomberger, Haines Hall, Willard Cox, Gordon Brusstar, Dan Romano.....and, if I do say, myself. It was partly due to the rugged geography of the west, the 'cowboy' or western tradition, and the need to illustrate for corporations instead of editorial magazines."
"It looks pretty rosy in hindsight....but it represents big time struggles. Job-wise, health-wise, economics-wise, etc.-wise."
"Finally got some fairly well paying jobs in the early '80s, including the duck stamp prints."
"When the big magazines and even ad illustration (due to soaring TV budgets) bit the dust, a lot of top illustrators were forced to 'head for the hills'....western painting, historical painting, wildlife art (lead by your Robert Bateman), and, as I did, Duck Stamp competitions. Also pheasant, trout, upland game bird art...anything that required a legal stamp on a hunting license. Limited edition prints came into vogue....I've done several...but the trick is to hustle them. Most artists want to create, not sell."
"Change is the only constant", it is said, and the last one third of the century saw huge changes in culture, technology, and communication, which brought print illustration, as we knew it, to near extinction. I feel fortunate and grateful to have been a part of that earlier time when illustration was valued and a part of everyday lives."
"Anyway, technology and a declining market took care of illustration as we knew it. 'Time wounds all heels', or something like that! We're blessed on one common level. It is great to work in a biz that we enjoy doing."
"My thanks to Bruce Hettema who has done a heroic job of assembling, preserving, and promoting the history of Patterson & Hall and the work of its' many talented artists over the years. Also thanks to young people like you, in this digitalized, marginalized, computerized, virtual media world, for recovering and displaying art and illustration as it was in the last century."
*My thanks as well to Bruce, who first suggested that Charlie Allen would make a great subject for Today's Inspiration,made arrangements with Mr. Allen in preperation for the interview process, and provided virtually every scans we've enjoyed this week. As well, many thanks to Charlie Allen for being so cooperative and forthcoming about his career. I can tell from your comments this week that you've enjoyed hearing from him as much as I have.
* All of today's images can be found in my Charlie Allen Flickr set.

Thanks to Mr. Allen for give us the opportunity to know about him and his career.
Thanks Leif for doing a fantastic job on Charlies carrer. It's been a real honor to get to know Charlie and his fantastic body of work, and I appreciate your efforts in getting his story wider exposure.ReplyDelete
Sincerely, Bruce Hettema
- Robert Steiner12:11 AM
Charles and his wife, Charlotte have been friends of my wife and me for many years. Your coverage is great, but only scratches the surface of this talented artist and his and his wife's life stories. Aside from being an incredible artist, Charles is a true gentleman. I've been privileged to have had his critiques of my art over the years and I have been honored to have published his fine work.ReplyDelete
Bob Steiner
Thanks for your comment, Robert. I'm sure we all realize that this week's look at Charlie Allen only scratches the surface. This blog, after all, si not the ideal venue for a detailed look at any one artist.ReplyDelete
Since you know him so well and have published his work, perhaps you would consider publishing a comprehensive biography that we who so greatly admire his work can really learn about the man and his art! ;-)

Congress begins uphill battle to pass farm bill
WASHINGTON—The Senate has begun laying the groundwork for a half-trillion-dollar farm and food bill that would end unconditional subsidies to farmers, but House Republicans' resolve to cut its biggest component -- food stamps -- by $13 billion a year dims its prospects of passing Congress.
The current five-year farm bill expires at the end of September, and the Senate Agriculture Committee on Friday released a draft of its plan to redesign safety nets that help farmers weather bad times while achieving some $23 billion in deficit reduction. The full committee is to vote next week on the plan, which consolidates conservation programs and takes several steps, such as stopping lottery winners from getting assistance, to make the food stamp program more accountable. Of that $23 billion in savings projected over next 10 years, $4 billion comes from food stamps.
But before getting a bill to the president, lawmakers must satisfy multiple constituents with different agendas -- Northern corn growers, Southern cotton farmers, insurance companies, banks, nutrition groups and environmentalists. Most difficult will be narrowing the gap between the Democratic Senate and House Republicans taking aim at the food stamp program that comprises some 80 percent of the bill's spending.
The Congressional Budget Office says that at the current spending pace the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps, would spend about $400 billion over the five-year life of a farm bill enacted this year. Crop insurance subsidies would average about $9 billion a year, commodity subsidies $6.6 billion and farm conservation programs $6.5 billion.
Last fall, when the congressional supercommittee was making its futile attempt to come up with a long-term deficit reduction plan, Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and her Republican colleague in the House, Frank Lucas of Oklahoma, came up with a plan to cut $23 billion from farm and food aid over the next decade. That plan is the framework as the Agriculture Committee's draft of the massive bill, which also includes such areas as energy, forestry, rural development and international food aid.
The Barack Obama administration, in its budget proposal this year, outlined a similar plan, calling for cuts of $32 billion and also eliminating direct payments, a subsidy that farmers collect based on a land's production history but not connected to crop prices or yield.
But the GOP-led House sees farm and food aid as a prime source for deficit reduction, and the budget of Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., that cleared the House last month requires almost $180 billion in cuts from farm bill programs over the next decade. That included $134 billion, or an average $13.4 billion a year, from the food stamp or SNAP program.
Republicans argued that spending for SNAP, which has grown from 17 million recipients in 2001 to more than 46 million today, is bloated by waste and fraud and can be reduced without taking food away from the needy.
But Democrats are strongly opposed to anything more than marginal cuts to the food stamp program and saw the Ryan budget as a major deterrent to getting a farm bill this year.
"Farmers and ranchers are fiscally conservative and definitely want to contribute as much as they can to deficit reduction," said Chandler Goule of the National Farmers Union. But he said the entire farm bill with nutrition is still only about 2 percent of the federal budget and farmers are already bearing more than their fair share with the $23 billion in cuts proposed last year. "The government needs to go somewhere else to find additional money ... that's what our producers think," he said.
The main focus of the Senate debate on the 900-page bill will be reaching a consensus on the future safety net for commodities. Under the draft, direct payments, now costing $5 billion a year, and which pay farmers even for land they don't plant, are eliminated. Instead, it introduces a "shallow loss" program that would pay farmers when modestly decreasing yields or declining prices on land actually planted result in a farmer's revenue falling below historic averages.
For more serious losses, crop insurance kicks in. An average 60 percent of crop insurance premiums are subsidized by the government. The Obama administration had proposed cuts in those subsidies for farmers and payments to insurance companies, but the draft maintains subsidy levels.
Corn and soybean farmers applauded this approach, which would help maintain their current economic prosperity, while Southern growers of rice, cotton and peanuts prefer the more traditional counter-cyclical payments under which target prices are set and farmers are compensated when those prices aren't reached. The draft eliminates counter-cyclical payments but does create a revenue guarantee program for cotton.
Craig Cox, senior vice president of Environmental Working Group, also criticized the plan for replacing direct payments with the new revenue guarantee program and said his organization was disappointed the plan "failed to require that farmers protect wetlands, grasslands and soil health in exchange for insurance subsidies."
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said his office was reviewing the bill and said he was optimistic lawmakers would try to pass legislation. "Farmers, ranchers and the men and women who live in rural communities deserve to know what the rules will be moving forward."
If no deal is reached by September, Congress will need to extend the existing bill, and that too will not be easy. "I strongly suspect there will be some kind of penalty price to be paid," said Mary Kay Thatcher of the American Farm Bureau Federation, saying that that could come in the form of cuts to direct payments or food stamps.

Product Description
All natural and loaded with Yuzu, Hotaru Yuzu Mayo is a traditional Japanese Mayonnaise, meaning it is dense, firm, rich and luxurious. This is achieved by using high-in-acidity Yuzu Fruit as the acidifier and tons of eggs compared to the common Mayonnaise. This yields a style that is preferred by accomplished chefs.

All natural and loaded with Yuzu, Hotaru Yuzu Mayo is a traditional Japanese Mayonnaise, meaning it is dense, firm, rich and luxurious. This is achieved by using high-in-acidity Yuzu Fruit as the acidifier and tons of eggs compared to the common Mayonnaise. This yields a style that is preferred by accomplished chefs.

(By Delegates Marshall, Fleischauer and Cooper)
[Introduced January 16, 2014; referred to the
Committee on Industry and Labor then the Judiciary.]
A BILL to amend and reenact §5B-2B-4 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to requiring the Workforce Investment Council to provide information and guidance to local workforce investment boards that would enable them to better educate both women and men about higher paying jobs including jobs traditionally dominated by men.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That §5B-2B-4 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended and reenacted to read as follows:
§5B-2B-4. Duties of the Workforce Investment Council.
(a) The council shall assist the Governor in the:
(1) Development and revision of a strategic five-year state workforce investment plan, including the establishment of an overall workforce investment public agenda with goals and benchmarks of success for the state, state agencies and for local workforce investment boards;
(2) Development and continuous improvement of a statewide system of workforce investment activities including:
(A) Development of linkages in order to assure coordination and nonduplication of services and activities of workforce investment programs conducted by various entities in the state; and
(B) The review of strategic plans created and submitted by local workforce investment boards;
(3) Commenting at least annually on the measures taken by the state pursuant to the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act, 20 U.S.C. §2323;
(4) Designation and revision of local workforce investment areas;
(5) Development and revision of allocation formulas for the distribution of funds for adult employment and training activities and youth activities to local areas;
(6) Development and continuous improvement of comprehensive state performance measures, including state-adjusted levels of performance, to assess the effectiveness of the workforce investment activities in the state;
(7) Preparation of the annual report to the Secretary of Labor as required by the Workforce Investment Act, 29 U.S.C. §2871;
(8) Development and continued improvement of a statewide employment statistics system; and
(9) Development and revision of an application for workforce investment incentive grants.
(b) The council shall make a report to the Legislative Oversight Commission on Workforce Investment for Economic Development and the Legislative Oversight Commission on Education Accountability on or before November 1, of each year detailing: (1) All the publicly funded workforce investment programs operating in the state, including the amount of federal and state funds expended by each program, how the funds are spent and the resulting improvement to the workforce; (2) the council's recommendations concerning future use of funds for workforce investment programs; (3) the council's analysis of operations of local workforce investment programs; (4) the council's recommendations for the establishment of an overall workforce investment public agenda with goals and benchmarks of success for the state, state agencies and for local workforce investment boards; (5) the status of one-stop system operations in the state, including all memoranda of understanding entered into by the one-stop partners and local workforce investment boards; (6) the status and outcome data regarding the council and local workforce investment boards' success in linking West Virginia PROMISE scholars to employment with a West Virginia employer; and (7) any other information the commission may require.
(c) To aid in the report required in subsection (b) of this section, each local workforce investment board shall report annually to the council on or before September 1, of each year on the status of one-stop centers within the region each board represents, attaching all memoranda of understanding entered into with one-stop partners.
(d) The council shall provide information and guidance to local workforce investment boards and staff, to enable them to better educate both women and men about higher paying jobs and careers including jobs traditionally dominated by men. Such guidance shall promote services provided by the local workforce investment boards for job seekers that includes:
(1) Current information about compensation for jobs and careers that offer high earning potential including jobs that are traditionally dominated by men;
(2) Counseling, skills development and training opportunities that encourage both women and men to seek employment in such jobs;
(3) Referral information to employers offering such jobs; or
(4) Information regarding the long-term consequences, including lower social security benefits or pensions, of choosing jobs that offer lower earnings potential and are traditionally dominated by women.
NOTE: The purpose of the bill is to require the Workforce Investment Council provide information to local workforce investment boards information and guidance that would help them better educate both women and men about jobs with high earning potential in jobs that are traditionally dominated by men.
Strike-throughs indicate language that would be stricken from the present law, and underscoring indicates new language that would be added.
This bill was recommended for introduction and passage during the Regular Session of the Legislature by the Equal Pay Commission.

In medical care, an injection is the introduction of a drug, vaccine, contraceptive or other therapeutic agent into the body using a needle and syringe. Injections are among the most common health care procedures throughout the world.
It is of vital importance that injections are carried out safely, i.e. in a way that does not harm the patient or expose the health care worker to unnecessary risk, and does not result in waste that is dangerous for the community. The use of sterile equipment for all injections is essential.

Cincinnati shortstop Barry Larkin could be one of the last non-controversial Hall of Fame inductees. With 85 percent of the vote, he entered without the shadow of PEDs. For the near future, those on the ballot will have been linked to PEDs, or might have their induction chances enhanced because they will be going up against the scorned.
Larkin had a stellar career, one without suspicion. He was deserving in every sense.
In Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro, we have our test cases for those linked to steroids for the Hall voters, of which I am one. If a player tests positive for steroids or other PEDs, or has been linked to the drugs, he won't get my vote.
My thinking for guys under suspicion is to withhold my vote until there is more information. Is it fair? No, but I'd rather hold the vote and give it to the player later because once the vote is cast and he's inducted it can't be rescinded.
Next year's ballot is disturbingly loaded with those accused of steroid use or suspected. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa and Mike Piazza among them.
For Bonds, Clemens and Piazza, it is argued they compiled Hall of Fame numbers before being linked to steroids. For Sosa, it is suggested the stretch of his career where his noteworthy stats were compiled was all steroid related. In addition, not only did Sosa cheat with drugs, but also used a corked bat.
The simple take on steroids is it enables a hitter to hit the ball further. In reality, the issue isn't whether PEDs add an additional 50 feet to a fly ball, but the extra five that enables it to clear the wall.
Steroids enable the user to continue training during the long, hot days of summer when he otherwise might not. This continued training didn't make the hitter stronger as much as it increases his bat speed, and this is what generates the power.
Some argue the player still has to hit the ball, which is true, but increased bat speed can turn a normal fly ball into one that barely clears the wall. It is an unfair advantage. It is cheating.
Some apologists for the steroid user claim baseball didn't have a defined anti-drug policy until recently. While this is true, use without a doctor's prescription is against the law. It doesn't matter MLB didn't have a policy in place at the time Bonds was torching National League pitching.
With the holdovers from this year's ballot, coupled with those next year who are clean, the pickings are slim, both in terms of PEDs and career numbers, of those qualified who'll get in as did Larkin.
I have not, and will not vote for a player connected to PEDs. It is cheating and I don't believe that should be rewarded. Fans should watch games confident in the knowledge what they are seeing to real, but that isn't the case with drugs.
Not only won't they get my vote, but I believe their statistics should come with an asterisk they were compiled under suspicion of PED use. This should also be noted on their plaque if they get the necessary votes.
Under the present voting guidelines, I can't see it any other way.

Okay, so: stage names. There's basically three kinds. First there's cheesy. Then there's witty. Then, there's the ones that are so witty they wrap all the way back around a get and return to cheesy. We're putting "Adrenalynn" in that third category. A little too much thought. We liked her name better when she was "Adrianna Lynn" but perhaps that bit of wordplay was a touch too subtle for the average one-handed typer to appreciate. Luckily, her sex videos haven't lost a step in the transition, and are far from cheesy.
Imagine it. You're Veronica Rodgriguez, you're sitting on your humble bed somewhere in Venezuela, doing as young girls do when their minds are full of xxx wonder. After a few minutes worth of ministrations, you cum. Upon opening your eyes, you are amazed to see a clear hot sheen of some strange substance coating the walls of your poorly-lit bedroom, and then is when you first realize it. You're a squirter. Baby, all your dreams will now come true. You're a major-league squirter, you're off to become a porn sensation!
Charmane Star is a Filipino porn actress who grew up in San Francisco, San Diego and Sacramento. When Charmane turned 18 she became a nude model and made her debut to the porn biz in 1998. Charmane left 4 years later to run a nightclub in Milwaukee with her boyfriend, but continued to do photo-shoots. In 2003, she returned to adult entertainment, and launched her own website, featuring girl/boy and girl/girl videos. Porn runs in the Charmane's family as her sister briefly worked as an xxx actress under the alias Leah Santiago.
With her permanently perky and all-natural B-Cup tits and beautiful face, yummy mommy India Summer is the sexiest damn Milf porn star working in xxx today. She's right in that sweet spot in her mid-thirties when women hit their sexual prime, and know what to do with it. That, along with her round and perfectly-formed ass, probably accounts for India's recent award winning streak. She won Best Actress in 2011, and in 2010 as well as 2012 she took home the coveted Milf Performer of the Year. With stiff competition, pun intended, bringing home the gold means that India is really something extraordinarily awesome.
Alex Chance, a Southern Belle who hails from Virginia Beach, is well known for her natural 34DDD breasts and titty fucking abilities. Couple that with her stellar onscreen performances and she's the girl next door that you want to fuck in piledriver! Before Alex got into porn, she had careers as an ice skater, Sunday school teacher and a bartender, and even sold timeshares. With about 3 years in the industry now Alex Chance has shot scenes with the best of the best such as Naughty America, Lethal Hardcore, New Sensations, Girlfriends Films, Vince Voyeur Unleashed, Reality Kings, Bang Bros, Score, Evil Angel, Immoral Productions and ATK. Now that's hard work!
Brooke Haven is a California born porn star that started off working as a stripper at a club called Déjà vu in San Francisco before moving to Phoenix, Arizona. She became friends with porn star Lexie Marie and appeared in Playtime magazine with her. Shortly afterwards they were invited to attend Erotica LA, a porn convention, where they made their first contacts within the porn world.
Everyone has their own favourite brand of chewing gum or ice cream flavour. Do not ask Cameron James what hers is. This girl's tastes run to the unusual, evidenced by her preference for the weirdly tangy ass to mouth move that tends to punctuate her sex videos. We're not going to hate on poor Miss James for her tastes, in lollipops or life choices, and in fact the shock value of her switching from the out door to the in door is often the high point of her scenes. Once you go ass to mouth, it's hard to go forgotten, and Cameron James is a star on Orgasm.com's pornstar directory.
If you like gorgeous blondes with big tits, you can't do any better than sexy bombshell Hanna Hilton. Her high school yearbook photographer realized how insanely hot she was, so he asked her to model in a bikini for him. Those pictures ended up at Hustler, who immediately tapped her to be Pet of the Month. From there, top tier porn producers at Vivid signed her, skyrocketing her exposure and fame throughout the adult industry. Not bad for a girl that was working at Dairy Queen just a few months earlier. Can you imagine if she was the ice-cream girl at your local malt shop? I'd camp out in the parking lot and never leave!
It's one thing for a pornstar to tolerate getting ass fucked on film, but occasionally you find one that absolutely loves anal sex. Say hello to XXX expert Kami Andrews, and her big booty! This buxom, beautiful bombshell seems more at home with a big dick in her asshole than she does any other time. And if there are two cocks involved simultaneously, so much the gaper. I mean, better. Watch her insane gangbang "Kami Andrews DP on the Bang Van" right here in HD at Orgasm.com and you'll see what I mean! Mark Cummings, Johnny Thrust, and Dirty Harry treat her anus like it's their own personal amusement park!
Pornstars like gorgeous Kina Kai take normal sex videos and turn them into Asian porn spectaculars! Maybe it's the fact that she's not just another blonde bombshell, and something more exotic and unique. Maybe it's her sexy bedroom eyes and big tits. Maybe it's the way her hips swivel on a thick cock like she was a born fucking machine. Or, maybe it's the fact that she's barely five feet tall and only ninety pounds. That means that the white studs that get to deliver a hard interracial fuck can lift her up and move her around like she was as light as a feather. You add all those qualities up and you've got something extraordinary!

Many weeks, football fans find other things to watch on Thursday nights. The matchups aren't exactly intriguing.
This is a week to tune in.
Pittsburgh, ranked third in the AP Pro32, is a 7-point favorite over No. 11 Tennessee. It's an important game for several reasons:
Both teams lead their divisions, the 7-2 Steelers in the AFC North, the 6-3 Titans in a tie with Jacksonville atop the AFC South.
Both are in good shape for wild-card slots, and this game could have tiebreaker ramifications.
Both teams are on four-game winning streaks.
Each comes off tight tests against inferior opponents, Pittsburgh at Indianapolis, Tennessee at home to Cincinnati. It will be interesting to see how (or if) they rebound with stronger performances.
Titans coach Mike Mularkey isn't concerned that the short turnaround will affect his club. Playing the Steelers always gets a team's attention.
"If we let that become a distraction, it can be, yes," Mularkey said. "This team's pretty mature and pretty good about handling different situations, and this won't be any different."

Pink Covers Women's Health, Sorta Shades Britney Spears
Pink has a new magazine in her repertoire, appearing on the cover of the October issue of Women's Health.
In the feature, she revealed that she and hubby Carey Hart have an onion-like relationship. She also said that Britney Spears lip-syncs, but it wasn't the diss or the shade throwing that it appears to be on the surface.
We're loving her bejeweled, dangerously short mini.
Regarding her heart and Hart, she said, "Long-term relationships are a layered onion. There's something about him I love, and I want him to be OK, even if he's not with me. When I met Carey, I was an abused puppy in the corner, ready to bite anyone who put their hand out. And there's a part of me who will always be kind of like that. But he was the first man I was with who allowed me to take a deep breath and close my eyes and fall backward. And most of the time, he was there. That's more than I can say about others.
"So when I say he took my heart and made it bigger, my heart was like this clenched fist. And even after he broke my heart, still, I had two bigger halves. I have more capacity to love and to be loved."
Recall that Pink and Hart had split up during their marriage, before giving it another go and having daughter Willow, 2.
Pink also addressed Brit Brit, saying she loves her but that she would never pay to see perform since it's not live. "I'm not taking anything away from Britney because I really like her a lot, but I would never go to a show where the person was lip-synching," Pink said. "When you grow up listening to Janis Joplin, you're not going to want to see somebody mime. I've always said I like Britney. I swear to God, I've stuck up for Britney since the beginning. She and I have talked about it. My point was, 'Stop comparing me to her, because we're different animals.'"
So Pink doesn't want to be compared to Brit Brit since she sings live? That's how it sounds. Most pop stars sing to tape, though!
