Dr. William Pannapacker of the Hope College English faculty is among the speakers being featured during a two-day symposium in Copenhagen, Denmark, concerning the potential redesign of Denmark's national Natural History Museum.
Pannapacker, who is an associate professor of English and director of the college's Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Scholars Program in the Arts and Humanities, will present "History, Art, and Science: Sustaining Natural History Museums as Centers of Culture and Education. Making Natural History Museums for Adults as Well as Children" on Tuesday, Jan. 26. He was invited to participate because of a series of essays that he wrote for "The Chronicle of Higher Education" on mistakes that he believes have been made in the redesign of many museums in the United States.
Writing under the pen name "Thomas H. Benton," Pannapacker has published a regular column in "The Chronicle of Higher Education" since 1998. His three essays concerning natural history museums, published between October 2006 and October 2009, lament the lessons lost as, he feels, museums have in recent years emphasized providing a simplified, entertaining experience rather than presenting their historic materials in a way that encourages reflection and depth of understanding. He calls instead for presentations that emphasize the wonder of the unique objects found within the collections and connect visitors to a sense of the museum and its collection as a part of the process of discovery.
Among the suggestions he shares in his most recent, 2009, column:
° "Do not sacrifice the history of your museum for the sake of being up-to-date everywhere you look. Showcase the development of science as a self-correcting, interdisciplinary enterprise that, nevertheless, has a past that is worth celebrating."
° "Foreground the art of science and the aesthetics of the museum. Regard the museum as a palimpsest, or exposed layers of sediment. Do not engage in expensive, wholesale renovations that destroy the work of prior generations of curators or the memories of older visitors."
° "Do not attempt to compete with other forms of entertainment; there are few museums that can provide the mindless thrills of Dinoland U.S.A., nor should they. Audio-animatronic dinosaurs and do-it-yourself excavation pits are not the answer, nor are more interactive computer terminals that seem obsolete within a year of installation."
° "Show people - in small groups - the museum behind the scenes. Reveal the natural-history museum as a living institution: the workrooms of the curators, the drawers full of insects, the cabinets full of skins, the shelves of specimen jars, and the technicians working with computers."
° "The most important point: The world is full of simulations. Natural-history museums should cultivate the aura of the real: the rare and unique, the beautiful, the exotic, and the grotesque. Better to showcase one crackalured bone for the great rarity that it is than to add one more fake-looking T-Rex skeleton, in midattack, posed as a photo op."
Pannapacker has been a member of the Hope faculty since 2000. His research interests include the digital humanities, Walt Whitman, 19th century American literature and Atlantic studies.
His publications include the book "Revised Lives: Walt Whitman and Nineteenth-Century Authorship" (Routledge, 2004), and he is currently researching a scholarly monograph called "Whitman's Cities" and preparing a visual studies monograph called "The Legacy of the Rural Cemetery Movement in America." He is also the author of numerous shorter publications on American literature and culture, and a contributing editor to "American Literary Scholarship."
Pannapacker holds a doctorate in the history of American civilization from HarvardUniversity, and master's degrees in English from both Harvard and the University of Miami. He completed his undergraduate degree in English at St. Joseph's University.
The Natural History Museum of Denmark was established in January 2004 by the merging of the Botanic Garden, the Botanical Museum and Library, the Geological Museum and the Zoological Museum. The four departments themselves trace their origins to the 17th century. Now department of the University of Copenhagen, the museum is responsible, as its Web site notes, "for maintaining and building up natural history collections, for carrying out research in the natural sciences and for presenting the current state of knowledge about natural history to the general public."
In addition to Pannapacker, the presenters during the January 26-27 symposium will include scholars and museum experts from elsewhere in the U.S. as well as Germany and the Netherlands, as well as representatives of the Natural History Museum of Denmark.

The new memoir by Dr. Rhoda Janzen of the Hope College English faculty picks up where its predecessor left off, and in more ways than one.
Published this month, "Does This Church Make Me Look Fat?: A Mennonite Finds Faith, Meets Mr. Right, and Solves Her Lady Problems" (Grand Central Publishing) continues the life journey that Janzen began chronicling in her debut memoir, "Mennonite in a Little Black Dress." The new volume also shares the same spirit as the 2009 volume, examining highs and lows alike with optimism and good humor.
Reviewer Kate Braestrup, who is the author of "Here if You Need Me" and "Beginners Grace," has said, "'Does This Church Make Me Look Fat?' made me laugh out loud, often enough to make my beloved children inquire as to whether I was losing my mind. Too much spiritual writing these days claims that religious practice is about healing or developing the self. But Rhoda Janzen avoids this theme: here she sets out on a path to become more loving, grateful and helpful to others. This is particularly impressive given that she's writing about a period in her life when she's got a scary, life-threatening illness, and a brand new family."
Janzen, whose first marriage ended in divorce after 15 years, focuses on the development of her relationship with a new man in her life, Mitch, from dating through marriage, and the start of their new life together—including her new experience as step-mother to a teen-age son. Raised as the daughter of a Mennonite minister, she considers in particular her change in perspective as she comes to appreciate the Pentecostal tradition in which Mitch is active and finds her faith renewed and transformed. Life challenges along the way included her diagnosis and struggle with cancer.
An extended excerpt is featured in the October issue of "Good Housekeeping" magazine, and early reviews in national media include the September 26 issue of "People Magazine."
Janzen's first memoir, "Mennonite in a Little Black Dress" developed as she reflected on her experience visiting her family and re-encountering the faith community of her childhood while on a sabbatical leave in 2007. The book was a #1 "New York Times" bestseller, earning national acclaim in publications as diverse as "The New York Times Book Review" and "People Magazine."
As she heard from readers around the country, Janzen was touched by how strongly many responded to the book's upbeat, affectionate voice.
"I was just amazed at how many people were taking my [first] book as a 'how-to' manual as opposed to a memoir," said Janzen, an associate professor of English. "People were asking me how to achieve gratitude, how to achieve humor, how to achieve a humorous outlook in life."
Janzen resolved to maintain the same tone in "Does This Church Make Me Look Fat?," not that that was a struggle. The voice that she has used in both volumes reflects her overall outlook that humor can serve a purpose beyond the realm of quips and knock-knock jokes, offering a way to cope when life is difficult. "The rich application begins when we begin to extend and use it for the big, challenging issues," she said.
The optimism also reflects her gratitude that she is in a good place. Her cancer is in remission, she is happy in her marriage and family, and she appreciates the opportunity to learn and grow in her new faith community.
"I am happy and so blessed that I've been given another chance at this," she said.
Janzen has been a member of the Hope faculty since 2000. Her teaching emphases include creative-writing courses focused on poetry and memoir, American literature from 1865 to 1925 and modern English grammar.
Her poetry collection "Babel's Stair" was published in 2006. She has also had poems in many anthologies and journals, including "Poetry," "Gettysburg Review" and "Yale Review."
Janzen graduated from Fresno Pacific University in 1984, and completed a master's in creative writing at the University of Florida at Gainesville in 1989, a master's at UCLA in 1997 and a doctorate at UCLA in 2002. In addition to awards for excellence from her graduate program, she has received honors including a Wilson National Foundation Fellowship for the Charlotte Newcomb Award in 2000; first prize in the 1999 William Butler Yeats National Poetry Competition; the University of California Poet Laureate Award in 1994 and 1997.
"Does This Church Make Me Look Fat?" is available in hardcover for $24.99, and is on sale at the college's Hope-Geneva Bookstore, on the ground level of the DeWitt Center, 141 E. 12th St., as well as at other area book sellers. Copies may be ordered at the bookstore, which can be called at 800-946-4673 or (616) 395-7833, and at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
Janzen will be signing copies of her new book on Thursday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m. at Schuler Books, 3165 Alpine Ave. NW in Walker. She will be reading from the book on Friday, Oct. 26, at 7 p.m. at Holland's Barnes and Noble store, located at 3050 Beeline Road, Suite 50, in Felch Street Plaza.

Management and Governance
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation benefited in 2003 from the participation of more than a score of distinguished men and women who served on the board of trustees and its committees, as well as on the board of directors and committees of the subsidiary Colonial Williamsburg Company. Their work on behalf of the foundation advanced the goals and mission of the institution and continued a more than seventy-five-year-old tradition of careful and thoughtful governance.
The Colonial Williamsburg community was saddened by the death of former colleague Charles Brown, chairman emeritus of the board of trustees, during the year. Brown became a trustee in 1979, the year he became chief executive officer of AT&T. He was elected chairman of the foundation's board in 1985 and also chaired the Colonial Williamsburg Hotel Properties board of directors. Brown retired in 1991. He died November 12 in Richmond, Virginia, at the age of eighty-two.
Also marked in 2003 was the death of former foundation trustee David Brinkley. Brinkley, who had a long and distinguished career as one of the nation's most respected television journalists, joined the board in 1966 and retired in 1990. He was a charter member of the Raleigh Tavern Society, Colonial Williamsburg's leading special donor society. Brinkley was the society's chairman from its inception in 1979 until he was succeeded in 2003 by co-chairs Jim Lehrer and Charles Brown. He died June 11 at his Houston, Texas, home at eighty-two.
Randall Tobias, chairman emeritus of Eli Lilly and Company, retired in 2003 from the foundation's board after thirteen years of service. He chaired its development committee and the steering committee for the Campaign for Colonial Williamsburg. He also was a member of the board's finance, nominating and governance, and executive committees. Tobias was appointed in July 2003 by President George Bush to be the nation's Global AIDS Coordinator, with the rank of ambassador, reporting to Secretary of State Colin Powell.

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hen I hear the word tinke I immediately think of Peter Pan. tinke is not a Peter Pan subject though it is a small square-ish box with two sensors on it. It plugs into your iPhone and it tells you all kinds of good stuff about your health. On the box it says clearly that it is not a medical device, and shouldn't be used as such. However, like most over the counter vitamins it then goes into detail on their website about how this amazing technology can tell you your O2 level, heart rate, respiratory rate, and heart rate variability.
It says it monitors your wellness and fitness, of course none of these statements have been or will be verified. It's a neat piece of technology and seems to be pretty accurate. I think it is likely a nice piece of hardware to give you a good idea of what is going on at any given time. The app that goes with the hardware will log you into their site (you have a choice you can use it as a guest as well) if you decide to sign up for a free account and it will store your readings so you can see them over time.
I like the app, I like the idea, and I like the name. It's a really neat gift idea for the 2013 Father's Day Gift List for anyone that is into their health, or perhaps trying to be. I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars it's a great idea, well executed, the app looks really nice and functions pretty well (save a hiccup with registering that we had).

Garlic paste
Here's a worthwhile time-saver: garlic paste on hand in the fridge, no need to fry off before adding to - well, anything you're cooking, really. You just need a food mill, unless you've got strong arms and a sieve. Keeps well.
8 heads of garlic
2-3 bay leaves
a bunch of thyme
peppercorns and salt
a little oil
Break the heads into cloves, but no need to peel them. Put in a single layer on a baking tray; add the peppercorns and herbs, a splash of oil and enough water to come not quite half way up. Cover the dish with foil. Bake for 90 minutes at 150C, until the garlic is completely soft.
Fish out the pepper and bay leaves, and some of the twiggier bits of thyme. Drain and push through a mill or sieve. Add a little sea salt and bottle. Keep in the fridge.
Note: These quantities make about 300ml.

Mirror, Mirror - evidence against vivisection

Other Format: PDF
Mirror, Mirror Evidence that psychology, like biology, is conserved between human and nonhuman species augurs a shake-up for science and society G. A. Bradshaw, Robert M. Sapolsky
Back in 1974, an unusual report from Jane Goodall at the Gombe Stream Wildlife Research Centre in Tanzania caught the public eye. Chimpanzees had committed infanticide and were engaging in war. Not only were they acting in unanticipated ways, chimpanzees were acting like humans. Goodall's discovery bridged the divide between Homo sapiens and other species.
In and of itself, similarity between species is no surprise. Scientists have long experimented on animals in place of people; the resulting insights form the backbone of biomedicine and anthropology. We accept that human beings and nonhuman animals share a common ancestry. In biology and psychology, this relationship is the scientific rationale for a system of inference—the process and convention used to draw logical conclusions from observations—that allows humans to benefit from research with animal subjects. As such, it was not Goodall's discovery of species similarity per se that provoked such curiosity; it was the specific nature of the similarity.
Naked Ape, Hairy Human
The Gombe observations blurred the boundary between animal and human behavior, between nature and human nature. Previously, behaviorists thought that human and animal psychology intersected only in the realm of instinct. Homicide—as opposed to killing for access to territory or a mate—was deliberate, not instinctive. Infanticide and murder were considered exclusive to human beings and outside of nature. Goodall's findings challenged this received wisdom.
Since then, what we know about ourselves and other species has changed substantially. Many studies have documented in other species the same behaviors that enrich human lives. We now recognize that species other than humans engage in an array of behaviors that bring variety and depth to life: dolphins teach cultural customs to their young, octopi demonstrate diverse personalities, and rats show a sense of humor. Once at odds with the conventions of her discipline, Goodall's interpretations today are supported by decades of research in neurobiology. They are part of a broad conceptual framework that has coalesced around the idea that psychology, like biology, is conserved among animals.
This idea isn't new. Charles Darwin placed human beings on the continuum of animal species nearly 150 years ago. Somehow that insight was lost. Nurture is being reconciled with nature, and boundaries that once separated academic disciplines are dissolving, all of which bring models of animal and human behavior to unity. Separation has given over to integration, and what seemed like a haphazard collection of observational anomalies is now taking form as a coherent, human-inclusive, trans-species theory of mind and body.
Same Difference
In addition to and underlying these changes in theory, Goodall's data contradicted inferential conventions. Chimpanzee violence suggested that ethologists could infer the origins of chimp behavior from what they understood about human violence—something hitherto dismissed as being contrary to scientific standards.
Historically, science has admitted inference from animals to humans but not the reverse. As historians Lorraine Daston of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin and Gregg Mitman of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, recently noted,
Ethologists who study animal behavior, including that of primates, with close phylogenetic links to humans, have long made it a principle not to infer humanlike mental states from humanlike behavior and until [recently] many scientists in the field frowned upon any discussion of animal mental states.
Perhaps because scientists have been trained to shun such conclusions, examples of human-to-animal inference have been scarce in the scientific literature. This is one of the reasons that chimpanzee homicide, laughing mice and empathetic sheep are considered newsworthy: They represent deviations from normative models—or rather they used to. Now erstwhile behavioral isolates make up the empirical bricks in the foundations of psychobiology, and the limits on what we can infer about humans and animals have changed. Human-to-animal and animal-to-human inferences are legitimately symmetric. A deeper understanding of brain biology has strengthened this sense of equity.
Share and Share Alike
The case for inferential symmetry rests on evolutionary conservation—the levels of shared biology among animal species. At the genomic level, for example, chimpanzees and humans share 96 percent of their DNA—a figure that rises to 99 percent for genes that actually encode proteins. The genes that determine basic brain segments have changed little since vertebrates diverged from arthropods more than 500 million years ago. Not surprisingly, similar genes give rise to similar structures.
Merging human and animal models of brain and behavior raises an interesting point: Do homologous brain regions among vertebrates, or at least mammals, guarantee similar neural processes? This is a difficult question. If the brain were a computer, then it would be easier to predict that two computers with the same architecture and processor would show similar "physiology." However, matching neural blueprints are no guarantee of consistent responses. Two species may both possess a structurally similar region of the brain, yet the size of that region relative to the rest of the brain may differ. For example, two parts of the brain, the basal forebrain and extended amygdala, mediate the same functions in many species. These include the recognition of potential mates and competitors, rituals for courtship and mating, parental care (when it occurs), aggression, and territoriality.
True singularities—brain features specific to only one radiation or even species—are rare, but do exist. Certain cell types—Mauthner cells in the spinal cords of some fish and amphibians and a type of frontocortical neuron in humans—can also be unique. Novel sensory systems, such as the ability to sense bioelectric fields in some sharks, or somatosensory specializations, such as echolocation in bats, are apparently specific to the niches occupied by those species.
However, these changes in structure, function and behavior are neither random nor disconnectedly modular. Rather, they are linked by common ancestry. From an evolutionary perspective, there is no reason to favor one direction of inference over the other. Furthermore, the patterns of behavior across many species are consistent enough to warrant a shared conceptual grammar that would allow scientists to make a valid inference across species. But how does this change in theory translate to practice? In other words, if old conventions of inference have lost their monopoly, then how should scientists balance similarities with singularities? The answer comes from first principles.
Four Square
Science constantly winnows stronger hypotheses from weaker ones by testing them against current knowledge. In making such judgments, a scientist can be right by failing to reject a hypothesis that is true or by rejecting one that is false. Conversely, there are two ways of being wrong: by dismissing a valid hypothesis (what statisticians term a "type I" error) or by embracing an incorrect hypothesis (a "type II" error). With respect to inference, if humans share a trait, such as empathy, with some other animal, then the rejection of that possibility constitutes a type I error, or what primatologist Frans de Waal at Emory University refers to as anthropodenial. At the other end of the spectrum lies the type II error of anthropomorphism, the belief that humans share some trait with another animal when they actually do not.
Evolutionary theory suggests that species with a recent common ancestor are more likely to have traits in common than are distantly related species. Of course, common ancestry does not ensure identity, but as a reflexive stance, neither anthropomorphism nor anthropodenial makes sense. If morphological, physiological and genetic traits merit bidirectional inference, then there is scant reason to exclude mental states. Continuing to do so encourages systematic (and unrecognized) type I errors, thereby adding to a canon of groundless theory.
The obvious gain of a trans-species convention, in which the arrow of inference is independent of species, is consistency in theory and in practice. This dividend pays off in statistical power and subtler perception. As a bonus, such a convention would help scientists from different disciplines, such as ethology and psychology, share theories and speak a common language. But convergence to commonality calls for some additional sorting out.
Spring Cleaning
Reorganizing information that no longer conforms to past models is what science philosopher Thomas Kuhn called a paradigm shift. This is exactly what has happened with the neuroethological reinstatement of humans into the animal kingdom. Similar to other historic shifts in science, the implications are extraordinary. A trans-species standardization of nomenclature and theory suggests many parallel adjustments in long-held scientific and ethical practices. By erasing an implicit separation of human beings from other species, scientists are pressed to address conceptual inconsistencies and perhaps some uncomfortable conclusions.
Chimpanzee homicide is a clear example—society treats the same behavior in human beings as criminal and pathological. Does this mean that we should view a killer chimp as the equivalent of a felon, or must we stretch the definition of "natural" behavior for primates (including us) to include such acts? Evolutionary biologists argue that chimpanzee infanticide might be an adaptive reproductive strategy. In contrast, students of human behavior—lawyers, anthropologists and psychiatrists—regard it as abnormal. A model that accommodates both species raises questions of whether chimp violence is a disorder or an adaptive strategy, and of whether the same answer holds for human beings.
In another, less theoretical, case, the paradox of using animal models for research—that they are both categorically different from us and alike enough to study—begs resolution. The same similarities that justify the use of animals in biomedical research (an implicit anthropomorphism) clash with the dissimilarities that justify the ethics of vivisection (an implicit anthropodenial).
Trouble in Mind
Such conceptual turbulence might have remained hidden as part of the usual back-and-forth of science if the topic did not evoke such visceral responses. Old prejudices are hard to relinquish, and humans have held themselves apart from other species for centuries, if not millennia. Oxford evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins refers to this posture as "the tyranny of the discontinuous mind." The same impetus gave rise to the medieval concept of the "great chain of being," in which humans sat above the animals but below the angels. Parasitologist Sean Nee at the University of Edinburgh attributes this self-segregation to a deep-seated fear of sameness. Regardless of its origin, bidirectional inference threatens the belief in human superiority and the self-image of those who adhere to it.
Thirty years ago, Goodall's chimpanzees reflected back something that induced powerful theoretical shifts; they may even be credited with introducing disruptive cultural change. The rapidity with which theory and data have moved since then to create a new, radically different framework portends equally significant change to come. Readjusting to a convention of bidirectional inference helps restore a sense of epistemic coherency in scientific theory and practice. And, as Kuhn reminds us, no matter what turmoil such change may engender and how daunting it may appear, the ability to embrace paradigmatic change is one of the characteristics that make science so valuable

In my work I would say that I am a bit like a mini-wheat cereal; I am a very profond, spiritual human being and yet a very strong entrepreneur having worked 7 years as a financial advisor. I have search all my life on the true nature, the meaning of money (and life :-)) and I am now ready to communicate it as I think abundance is a birth right.
I want to help the most people possible to get in contact with "the millions that are already there" locked away in their head because they force themselves to do things. They are stuck in their "obligations".
I want the most people to live in abundance; poverty is a non sense.
The reason for this e-book is two-fold; i would like to print it professionnaly and sell it to phisical clients and have it also on my blog so they can buy it and download it.
I would say that my visitors/clients are around 30-60 years old. Some live well financially but most of them know that's something is missing.They are missing on the intensity of life.
I want to get in touch with every one who has debts or feel that they don't have enough money yet to do what they love. People for whom money is their master instead of being their servant...(that can be anyone, right??) . I am not sure I am helping you understand but I guess it's as clear as I can get.
-no dollars signs
-no shadows
- no graphics that remind of financial books, books on economy; this is alot deeper than that. And it bores people right of the bat...:-)
- no spiritual clichés as well (lotus flower oppening etc..)
-Title is in french and is for now: "Les 15 mythes les plus fréquents sur l'argent et l'Abondance." Translates as the 15 most frequent myths on money and abundance.
-Subtitle:"Pour en finir avec votre marge de crédit et vivre votre plein succès financier".
-The title and subtitle may change at last minute, near the end; must be able to do the change without additionnal costs.Please provide solution on this.
-MUST be in PDF
-ensure that there is no licensed material that would generate costs for me
-please look at design n.7 by digital martin.(in red and black with buble)
Do the same but try different pictures at the bottom. The top is exactly what i want.
The picture in the buble, to me could be more significant in showing the message about abundance and money.

Wishing I Knew How to Speak French
I just finished creating and translating six long forms for a large company. Well, I didn't do the translating into French, just the coding, but it was still a challenge to make certain that the correct things were being printed in the correct spot.
Yes, I did take French in high school... and even took basic French in my first year of university, but I still don't speak it. I remember being in Paris, in 1987, at a restaurant and struggling to order my meal in French. The waitress flicked her hips to one side, tilted her head and said to me, "Just order it in English, honey." No kidding. I have told this story a hundred times to friends and family because it is burned into my memory. I was mortified and have never tried to speak French in public since.
So when this project of doing French versions of six long forms came to me... I was a bit nervous. I told my husband, I felt like I was diapering a baby in the dark... sticking text with accents all through my code and hoping it would work when I tested it. I had my son (who is in his second year of French immersion) proof read the forms... just in case there was anything obviously wrong before i submitted to my client.
Anyway, the forms are launched! Successfully! Yay! Wish I would have stuck with my French studies in university....

Attorneys for a woman charged with killing her lover worked Wednesday at her trial to portray the victim as a liar and cheat who repeatedly deceived his girlfriends, friends and family members in the months before his death.
Jodi Arias, 32, is accused of fatally shooting and stabbing Travis Alexander in June 2008 at his suburban Phoenix home.
Defense attorneys began their case Tuesday with witnesses who spoke of Arias as a professional, conservative woman who never acted sexually inappropriate.
Wednesday's first witness was an ex-girlfriend of Alexander who testified that he cheated on her with Arias and lied about being a virgin.
Lisa Daidone said she first met Alexander in a Mormon singles group. She said they began dating in July 2007 and continued an on-again, off-again relationship until February 2008.
She said she first broke up with him when she "came to the understanding that he was cheating on me" with Arias.
The couple got back together, she said, after he convinced her he had not been cheating, and she believed him to be a devout Mormon who was a virgin saving himself for marriage.
"At some point did you ever have suspicions that he might have been cheating again?" asked Arias' defense attorney Jennifer Willmott.
"Yes," Daidone replied.
"After Travis' death were you shocked to learn that he was not a virgin?" Willmott prodded.
"Yes," Daidone said softly.
She said she never had sex with Alexander and began feeling as if he was just using her as their encounters grew more physical.
On cross examination by the prosecutor, however, Daidone said he never forced himself on her.
"He never touched you in an aggressive, physical way did he?" asked prosecutor Juan Martinez.
"No he didn't," Daidone said.
Daidone also acknowledged on cross-examination that it was her own sexual inexperience that led her to believe some of Alexander's behavior was inappropriate.
In a dramatic move that led the judge to stop the trial briefly, Martinez then attempted to display for jurors a large photo of Alexander's head, his throat slit from ear to ear.
"Do you think it is appropriate, given everything that they (the defense) claims he put you through ... to take a knife and slash someone's throat?" Martinez asked. Defense attorneys immediately objected. A short recess ensued, followed by a different line of questioning.
Several of Alexander's family members wept and left the courtroom, and the judge later denied a motion for a mistrial from defense attorneys.
The jury also had questions for Daidone, something allowed in Arizona criminal cases when given to the judge and vetted by attorneys.
"Did you ever refer to Jodi Arias as a stalker to Travis Alexander?"
"Yes," Daidone replied.
"Did you feel threatened by him?"
"No," she said.
Two other witnesses testified about Alexander's involvement in the Mormon faith, his claims that he was still a virgin, and how Alexander and Arias acted very much like a couple when they were together.
Authorities say Arias shot Alexander in the forehead, stabbed and slashed him nearly 30 times, slit his throat and left him in his shower.
The couple met at a Las Vegas convention in 2007 and had an on-again, off-again relationship for about five months.
Prosecutors claim Arias went to Alexander's home intent on killing him after learning he planned to take a trip to Mexico with another woman. Arias claims the two maintained an ongoing affair, and she came to his home on the day of the killing at his urging for sex.
She first told police she knew nothing of the killing then later blamed it on masked intruders. She eventually claimed self-defense after Alexander attacked her.
Police say Arias' bloody palm print and hair were found at the crime scene, and they found sexually explicit, time-stamped photographs in a camera inside Alexander's washing machine that placed Arias there on the day of the killing.
The photos included images of her naked, him in the shower, and one showing him dead on the bathroom floor.
Defense lawyers have yet to explain why Arias put the camera in the washing machine, what happened to the weapons used in the killing, and why Arias changed her stories.
Authorities say Alexander was shot with a .25-caliber gun, the same caliber weapon her grandparents reported stolen from their California home just days before the killing. Arias was staying with them at the time.
Alexander's religion and sex life have been a constant theme throughout the trial. Some friends and family members, including Daidone, believed him to be a devout Mormon who was saving sex for marriage, while he simultaneously dated and had sex with multiple women.
The prosecution rested its case on Jan. 17. Defense attorneys are now trying to portray Alexander as a contradiction who lied to friends and family, cheated on girlfriends and used women for sex.
If convicted, Arias could face the death penalty.

At least some content in this article is derived from information featured in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. Spoilers will be present within the article.
- Bagman: "... if I can help at all... a prod in the right direction... I've taken a liking to you... the way you got past that dragon!... Well just say the word."
- Harry: "We're supposed to work out the clues alone, aren't we?"
- — Ludo Bagman and Harry Potter[src]
Ludovic "Ludo" Bagman (fl. 1981[5]-2014[6]) was an English wizard and Ministry of Magic employee. During his career at the Ministry, Ludo rose to the post of Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports. His career at the Ministry ended in mid-1995, when he had to go on the run from goblins, against whom he had lost several bets.
Before working at the Ministry, he was a Beater for both the Wimbourne Wasps and the English National Quidditch team[7]. He had a brother named Otto. He also tended to play dirty when gambling and betting as he tried to find loopholes or even pay in fake money/gold.
First Wizarding War
After Lord Voldemort fell from power, Ludovic Bagman was put on trial before the Council of Magical Law for giving information about the Ministry to the Death Eater Augustus Rookwood. According to Ludo, he did not know that Rookwood was a Death Eater. Rookwood had been a friend of Ludo's father and had persuaded Ludo into giving him the information by talking about getting Ludo a job at the Ministry.
Barty Crouch attempted to place Bagman in Azkaban for this exchange of information for a certain amount of time, but to Crouch's extreme annoyance, Ludo was cleared of all charges. This was partly due to him being a popular Quidditch player. One witch within the jury stood up and congratulated Bagman for his rather impressive play in the previous Quidditch match, with the others cheering him. Ludo was never accused of allegiance with the Death Eaters again.
Quidditch World Cup
Despite Mr Crouch's low opinion of Ludo, Ludo soon got a job at the Ministry as head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports.
Ludo took part in organising the Quidditch World Cup of 1994.[8] He was quite reckless in terms of security, and did not bother dressing in Muggle clothing for the event. Ludo's position with the Ministry only fuelled his serious addiction to gambling — he took bets, for instance, before the cup started with Fred and George for the result of the final, in the amount of thirty-seven Galleons, fifteen Sickles, and three Knuts plus a joke wand.
Ludo also came to owe some money to Mr Jordan. He was bankrupt after the World Cup and tried to trick his creditors by paying them with leprechaun gold. The twins therefore stalked Bagman for the entire school year, trying to get their money, and later realised their attempts were unsuccessful. Ludo commentated during the World Cup using the spell Sonorus.
After the Cup ended, Ludo was cornered by a group of goblins in the forest near the stadium. Ludo had borrowed a large amount of gold from the goblins but never paid them back. The goblins stripped Ludo of all the money he had on him and left, not yet realising that the money was not enough to pay the debt. Ludo wandered around the forest, completely unaware that the camp was being terrorised by a group of Death Eaters.
The Triwizard Tournament
His position as head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports meant that, in 1994,[HP4] Ludo, along with Barty Crouch Snr, organised and judged the Triwizard Tournament. Together, they worked hard to ensure that none of the Champions would find themselves in "mortal danger".
When at Hogwarts, the Goblins tracked Ludo down to get the rest of the gold he owed them, but he could not pay them, as he had lost most of his money gambling.
Meanwhile, Fred and George thought that Bagman gave them the Leprechaun gold by mistake and tried gently prodding him throughout the year but Bagman ignored their letters and made up excuses. Eventually, Bagman "turned nasty" (according to the Weasley twins) and told the Weasley twins that they were too young to gamble and that they would not get anything back. Fred and George found out about Bagman's debts through Lee Jordan, whose father had also been swindled considerably. Fred considered informing the Ministry of Bagman's activities, whereas George argued that it was blackmail.
When Harry Potter's name was drawn out of the Goblet of Fire, Ludo Bagman appeared delighted, and he was the first person to inform the other three champions that Harry was now a participant. Ludo planned to pay the goblins by betting that Harry would win the Triwizard Tournament.
Just before the first task, Bagman took Harry aside and asked him if he wanted "a few pointers" for getting past the Hungarian Horntail; however, Harry refused this information, as he thought taking advice from Ludo amounted to cheating. During the task, Bagman took the role of commentator, and was very impressed at Harry's flying skills around the dragon. He gave Harry full ten points despite the champion being injured, and was furious at Karkaroff for being biassed against Harry.
Later, in January of 1995[8] Bagman was again cornered by the goblins, who looked "rather menacing", in Hogsmeade at The Three Broomsticks. When he saw Harry there, he offered him his help in the Triwizard Tournament, but Harry declined and asked Ludo what the goblins were up to. Ludo made up a story about the goblins searching for Barty Crouch Snr.
For the final task, Bagman had the sole responsibility of showing the champions the maze which had been constructed on the school Quidditch pitch (since Mr Crouch was apparently "sick"). He attempted to offer Harry help for the third time, but was interrupted by Viktor Krum.
The Triwizard Tournament ended with Harry winning, but being tied with Cedric Diggory, who was killed. The goblins refused to admit Ludo won the bet, saying that Harry did not win, but was tied with Cedric. Ludo went on the run shortly after the third task.
Life on the runWhat happened to Bagman after that is unknown, but during Harry's hearing for using magic outside of school in the subsequent year, his name came up in reference. When Harry told them that he used magic to drive away Dementors that were attacking him at Magnolia Crescent, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge stated that "even Bagman wouldn't bet...". Also, due to Bagman cheating the goblins out of his debt and running away, the Order of the Phoenix had difficulty earning their trust.[9]
Though it is likely that he lost both his credibility in the eyes of the wizarding world, and his post at the Ministry, he was suspected by a great number of wizards to be coming out of retirement to play in the 2014 Quidditch World Cup. This, however, proved untrue, as it was the Bulgarian Seeker Viktor Krum who returned to the pitch, not Bagman. However, Bagman did produce a Daily Prophet article rating the semi-finalist teams of the Cup.
Physical appearance
Ludo was a blue-eyed, blond man with a rosy skin.[2] Around 1982, during his Quidditch career, he had an athletic build, although he had "gone to seed" by 1994.[10]
Personality and traits
- "Well - I know I've been a bit of an idiot..."
"You never spoke truer words, boy."
- —Ludo and Alastor Moody (sotto voce) at the former's trial[src]
Bagman was once accused of passing information to Death Eater Augustus Rookwood the first time Lord Voldemort was powerful. He was never convicted, and it is likely that if he did pass any information to Rookwood, he did so innocently, not knowing Rookwood was working for Voldemort.
It is worth mentioning, however, that at least two people in 1994 suspected him of foul play, or at least mistrusted him: both Rita Skeeter (unreliable though she was) and Barty Crouch Jr (masquerading as Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody) mentioned this in the presence of Harry, Ron and Hermione. Rita Skeeter said to Hermione: "I know things about Ludo Bagman that would make your hair curl - not that it needs it." This is likely a reference to the aforementioned accusation of passing information to Rookwood.
Bagman was seen as a genuinely pleasant and good-natured individual to all who knew him. However, he had a weakness for gambling which put a financial strain on him. (He might have originally borrowed off the goblins to pay off gambling debts). As George Weasley stated: "He's lost everything gambling." He could also turn very nasty when it came to paying his losses, as he used worthless Leprechaun gold to pay, and refused to pay real money when the winners came to him. He also attempted to cheat at certain times when he was in a desperate situation, such as helping Harry during the Tournament, despite being forbidden to do so. Ludo went as far as running away after losing his final bet against his goblin creditors, which resulted in them refusing to side with humans during the Second Wizarding War.[9]
Magical abilities and skills
- Quidditch: Ludo was a famous beater for the Wimbourne Wasps, as he was said to be the best they ever had.
- Apparition: He was at least sufficient at apparating.
- Ludovic was a Latinised of the French royal name, Louis. Ludovic is from Gaelic for "devotee of the Lord." "Ludo" is Latin for "I play", part of the verb ludere.
- In British slang, a bagman is a travelling salesman. Ludo was a secret gambler who threw away his money.
- In American criminal slang, a bagman is a go-between who picks up or delivers money, usually bribes given by a crime family to the police. Ludo, of course, is constantly handling money as he makes his bets, and tries to fix the outcome of the Triwizard tournament with little offers of "help" in the right direction. This could also reflect his role as a (perhaps unknowing) go-between for the Death Eaters, passing information to Augustus Rookwood during the First Wizarding War.
Behind the scenes
- The part of Ludo Bagman was omitted from the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and his announcing of the Quidditch World Cup of 1994 was done by the Minister for Magic at the time, which was Cornelius Fudge. The warnings and the directions for each task of the Triwizard Tournament were given to the champions by Dumbledore and Crouch rather than Bagman. He was however meant to appear in the film in an early draft, and it was stated that actor Martin Landham would have been a candidate to portray him had he appeared in the film.

Leafs edge Lightning on van Riemsdyk's late tally
Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - James van Riemsdyk recorded the tie-breaking goal with 4:03 remaining as the Toronto Maple Leafs posted a 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning at Air Canada Centre.
Van Riemsdyk's tally halted Toronto's two-game skid and came after the Lightning scored twice late in the second period to rally from a 2-0 deficit created by a pair of Nazem Kadri markers.
Jonathan Bernier did his part as well between the pipes, turning back 40 shots that included all 13 he faced during the final period.
Matt Carle and Mark Barberio had the goals for Tampa Bay, with Ondrej Palat assisting on both scores. Ben Bishop finished with 23 saves.
The deciding goal was set up by a takeaway in the Tampa Bay zone by Tyler Bozak, who worked the puck out to Phil Kessel as van Riemsdyk skated hard into the right slot. Kessel promptly found his open linemate for a quick wrister that Bishop had little chance to defend.
"Bozie did a great job on the forecheck and forcing their [defense] to make a play under pressure, and Phil slid [the puck] over to me and put it on a platter for me," said van Riemsdyk of the goal.
Bernier made the lead stand with a sprawling glove save on Martin St. Louis less than a minute after van Riemsdyk's goal, the Lightning's best chance in the latter stages.
"I read it good," said Bernier. "[St. Louis] made that pass on that first one [earlier in the game]. He did the same kind of move, but then he shot it and I got caught deep. That one worked out for me."
Following a scoreless opening period that saw sharp goaltending on both sides, Kadri ended the stalemate early in the second. Using Lightning defender Victor Hedman as a screen, the Toronto center rifled a wrister over Bishop's right shoulder with just 1:49 elapsed in the frame.
Kadri struck again near the midway mark of the middle session, collecting a centering pass from Joffrey Lupul and beating Bishop 1-on-1 with a well-placed backhander for a 2-0 Maple Leafs' advantage.
A defensive turnover by Toronto enabled Tampa Bay to cut the lead in half with 6:47 to go in the second, with Carle jumping into the zone to put home a no- look drop pass from Palat.
"It was a broken play," Carle said. "Palat made a great pass and I was right in the slot, so I took a shot and it went in."
Barberio potted the equalizer just under four minutes afterward, with the goal coming off a rebound of Palat's initial attempt with the defenseman stationed in the right slot.
Game Notes
St. Louis had a 10-game point streak snapped ... Kadri's multi-goal effort was his second of the season, matching a two-score performance against Dallas on Dec. 5 ... Bernier is now 7-1-2 this season when facing 40 shots or more ... The Lightning have lost in four straight visits to the Air Canada Centre, with their last victory in Toronto coming on Mar. 14, 2011.

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Health Tips
From tips on how to lose weight effectively to ways to combat boredom eating, this collection of informative articles covers a wide range of health topics that matter to real people, like you.
Summer is a great time to enjoy yourself and have fun, but it's also a great opportunity to work on your physical health and mental well being.
We all have those weight loss barriers in the back of our minds: My scale will never budge, I will never be able to run a mile, and eating healthy is code for torturing myself with bad-tasting food. A diet is easier said than done, but it is all about the attitude and a little word that begins with the letter "o."
"O" stands for optimism, and it's the best tool you can have in your crusade against being overweight and out of shape. With so many people walking around in swim trunks and bikinis this summer, you can achieve your own personal goals by being brighter about your own summer weight loss barriers.
The goal is to discipline yourself to rethink. Barriers give us a source of comfort when we give into them because it's what we are used to. It's an easy way out and it makes for an even easier excuse when we don't want to push ourselves to achieve our goals. Below are some examples of how you can turn your negative "think" into a positive "rethink."
Negative Think: My scale is plotting my demise and working against me
Positive Re-think: My scale is my personal minion; it does what I tell it to.
By giving yourself this sense of control over your scale, you are bound to conquer those summer weight loss barriers. Many of us lack the motivation for weight loss because we don't have a proper sense of control. When you give yourself the power of control, you may start to feel that your goal may not be as ridiculous to your ears as it sounds. You have to give yourself a little more credit when it comes to having control and power over your weight loss. Instead of hating your scale, learn to love it! Weigh yourself more frequently, and you will keep those pounds off. Keeping a controlled mentality will allow your scale to become your best weight loss companion. It may sound impossible, but losing weight is all about being in control.
Negative Think: Me? Run a mile? Yeah, right…
Positive Re-think: I can run a mile…but at my own pace!
When working toward tackling your summer weight loss barriers, make sure that you don't launch yourself right into an intense exercise plan. When it comes to exercise, many people think that they have to see immediate results from their workout. Go at your own pace when it comes to exercising. If you push yourself too hard and too fast, your body won't be able to keep up with your pace and this will cause you major distress.
When you exercise, your body needs time to adjust to a new set-point. If you push yourself to the limit right away, you will hinder your chances of losing weight rather than helping your chances. Just like you, your body needs time to adjust to changes.
Instead of taking the mentality of a fast-paced personal trainer, ask yourself some key motivational questions, like: "What would give me the will power to stay off the couch?" One way to motivate yourself is to actually put your workout clothes on. This will give you the visual image you need in order to motivate yourself to exercise. Small steps like this can cause you to be more motivated about your exercise and you will gradually accelerate your workout pace.
Simply answer a few questions so we can figure out your weight loss goals and provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you. Our weight loss meal plans are designed to help real people achieve real and lasting success.

Obama raked over coals on sequester tactics
Exclusive: Kathy Shaidle recaps hottest discussions from America's top hosts
Rush Limbaugh
The news that the Obama administration is releasing hundreds of illegal aliens from prison before the sequester begins came as no surprise to Rush Limbaugh.
Picking up on a caller's observation, Rush chimed in (FREE audio) "Barack Obama is employing tactics that have been used by people like Nicolae Ceausescu, Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro. Fidel Castro released hundreds of thousands of just the most horrible characters from his prisons, and they infested south Florida in the Mariel Boatlift – and the same thing with Ceausescu and releasing his prisoners."
Limbaugh added that this prisoner release is "an impeachable offense" (FREE audio).
"This is in direct violation of the oath of office," Rush declared. "Defend and protect the Constitution of the United States and the people. We're opening the doors of prisons before the sequester has even happened, before there have even been any budget cuts."
Michael Savage
According to the latest ratings, Savage's re-launched radio show is already No. 1, from New York to Nashville. The announcement led Dr. Savage to wonder (FREE audio) "If I'm having such ratings success, and I'm a die hard – well, whatever I am politically, define me anyway you want – how is it that the left-wing, Democrat, socialist establishment that hates everything American can pretend that they represent the American people?"
Michelle Obama's appearance on the Oscar ceremony was, to Savage's mind, a new low in American pop culture.
"It's degradation not only of popular culture, but of the presidency," he told listeners. "That institution is becoming increasingly irrelevant under this regime" (FREE audio).
Aaron Klein
Those 1.5 billion hollow-point bullets the Department of Homeland Security ordered are just the tip of the iceberg, revealed Klein this week. He reported on what else the DHS is up to, then continued his probe into Chuck Hagel's beliefs about Iran and Israel.
Klein also served up an exclusive expose on how the White House controls the news media. Then, as Jews around the world celebrated Purim, comedian Jackie Mason joined Klein to lighten the mood, joking about Marco Rubio's water bottle and the looming sequester (FREE audio).
Mark Levin
Mark Levin called House Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor "a coward, a weasel and a hack" for supporting the unconstitutional "Violence Against Women" act, which would grant sweeping new powers to the federal government (FREE audio).
After Chuck Hagel was confirmed as secretary of defense, Levin blasted the media for ignoring the many red flags in Hagel's background (FREE audio).
Laura Ingraham
Ken Cuccinelli, attorney general of Virginia and candidate for governor, told Laura and her listeners that Republicans need to start fighting for their principles instead of courting popularity.
He noted, "I have been elected in the most liberal part of Virginia without sacrificing my principles."
Calling the sequester a "manufactured crisis," Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas added, "The Senate is not governing, and the president has not passed a budget."
He also declared Obamacare "unaffordable" – "It will fall over on its own weight. People like [the insurance plans] they have, but they can't keep them, contrary to the president's promise" (FREE audio).
Glenn Beck
Is Glenn Beck finally returning to television?
Possibly, if the host's latest campaign is successful. This week, Glenn Beck launched GetTheBlaze.com, where fans can petition cable TV companies to carry his highly successful web-only channel, TheBlaze TV. The channel has already signed an agreement with the Dish satellite network, which extended TheBlaze TV's reach beyond subscribers' computers.

I've been working on a fork of Aleph One, and would like to make it brain-dead easy for anyone to check out the source code and build the project. This is straightforward except for collecting the libraries needed by the engine.
For the main Aleph One repo, building from source is easy; you just grab all of the frameworks out of the release on the website and press some buttons. I, unfortunately, do not have that luxury. There are a few hundred megabytes worth of libraries and headers that a user would need to assemble. It would be nice to just check them into github, but it would really be pushing their file size limits (not to mention bad practice).
Does anyone have recommendations on the best ways to distribute project dependencies? How do other A1 forks handle this?

Sharks will fly down over Manhattan in the "Sharknado" sequel SyFy has just ordered, set to premiere in 2014, and the network wants fans to name it.
Although "Sharknado" only brought in 1.369 million viewers -- in typical made-for-TV B-movie fashion -- it spawned a feeding frenzy on social media, with Twitter users turning the film into a pop culture phenomenon.
The movie starred Tara Reid, who said she'd be in for a sequel. "I had no idea," Reid told TMZ Live.
"I just thought sharks flying in he sky is just the funniest movie ever. This movie was so ridiculous, you know? Like it's almost so bad that it's good."
Writer and director Damon Lindelof tweeted "The best thing about Sharknado's huge pop culture impact is that Tara Reid gets to look like a [expletive] genius for doing it."
For the majority who didn't see it, "Sharknado" is a climate-induced disaster movie with killer weather in the form of hurricanes that spawn tornados over the ocean, sucking up hundreds of sharks and dumping them on Los Angeles.
SyFy is asking fans to name the sequel by tweeting entries @SyFymovies. Submissions so far include "Sharknado 2: Chew York Chew York" and "Sharknado 2: Not Just Another Fish Out of Water."

The moment after President Bush made his announcement that Judge John G. Roberts would be his first nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, the special interest groups swung into action. Conservative groups hailed the nomination in stellar terms. Special interest groups on the left chastised the nominee in equally dire language. The battle lines were being drawn.
But rather than jump into the melee, let's all relax, step back a pace, breathe. Perhaps the extra oxygen will help Americans think objectively and read a bit about the nominee on their own.
Part of the problem in today's extremely partisan environment is that Americans are saturated with instantaneous and biased views that seek to distort the facts and push an agenda. The aim is clear: Left-wing outfits want to raise anxiety among their supporters in the hopes of raising contributions to battle the conservatives. Right-wingers are praising the candidate in the blind faith that Bush has followed through on his word. Why? Because Bush's team knows they need to keep conservative voters satisfied, and allowing the perception that Roberts might be a moderate or even a moderate conservative would leave the base softer in a trying time for a president who's popularity ratings are low and falling lower.
Sen. Harry Reid, the Democrat leader from Nevada, has the right approach. He noted Roberts has "suitable legal credenÂtials,â€? whose record will be examined by the Senate "to determine if he has a demonstrated commitment to the core American values of freedom, equality and fairness.â€? In the effort to understand Roberts' values, he will be questioned on his stance on the controversial issues of the day — gay rights, abortion, environmental policies, corporate labor practices, separation of church and state, and so on. If he can address America's concerns on those issues and demonstrate that he embraces the core values of freedom, equality and fairness, Mr. Roberts will likely be the next Supreme Court justice. If he cannot, there will be a legitimate fight in the Senate.
But before we crank up the rhetoric, let's pursue the facts.

A consortium of investors acquired Auburn Hills-based automotive supplier Android Industries LLC from its Chicago-based private equity owners Wynnchurch Capital Ltd., the firm announced Tuesday.
The group was led by Japanese subsidiary Mitsui & Co. (USA) Ltd., Toronto-based management firm Dundee Corp., Wynnchurch's Chairman Emeritus Rick Renaud and Android's executive team.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. It remains unclear whether staffing changes will occur under the new owners.
Android performs parts sequencing and assembly of tire and wheel parts, engine parts, suspension parts, instrument panels and consoles at 16 plants in the U.S., Canada, Spain, Mexico and Brazil.
It also manages logistics for several firms, the company said in a release.
The deal is part of Wynnchurch's plan to sell a portion of its automotive holdings, which Managing Partner John Hatherly told Crain's Chicago Business in September. Wynnchurch also operates an office in Bloomfield Hills.
In December, Wynnchurch sold Plymouth-based Safety Technology Holdings Inc., and its subsidiaries Humanetics Innovative Solutions Inc., HITEC Sensor Solutions Inc. and Sensor Developments Inc., to San Francisco-based private equity firm Golden Gate Capital.
Hatherly told Crain's Chicago in September that with increased access to credit for financing acquisitions, more buyers are emerging for businesses and prices are rising, making it a good time to exit.

Cookie dough brownies! What else is there to say. The best of both worlds, right? Fudgy brownies for the base and raw egg less cookie dough for the top. I had this recipe that I had planned to share with you this week but I think its going to have to wait since I promised a few people that I would post this after sharing with my Valentines couples last weekend. I wanted something very special for Valentines weekend and this one had been calling my name for awhile. It came off of Pinterest from recipegirl.com. I give her a lot of credit for the genius idea except next time I make these I will be using my own cookie dough recipe. Why I didn't to begin with? Well, I like trying to new things. The cookie dough is tasty but the texture is pretty grainy but I think cutting back on some of the sugar would help. Needless to say, they are quite over the top. One bite for me was enough many had seconds.
This recipe is a little putzy but only because you have to let the chill before proceeding. Other than that, its pretty easy. Yields 16 brownies. Brownie Layer 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips. I used melting chocolate here since that is what I had on hand. 1 cup granulated white sugar 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 4 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour COOKIE DOUGH: 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature or almost melted 3/4 cup granulated white sugar 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons milk or cream 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup miniature chocolate chips additional miniature chocolate chips, if desired (to garnish the top)
Prepare the brownie layer- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x9-inch pan with nonstick spray, then line with a strip of parchment paper so that it covers the bottom and comes up two sides of the pan. Spray the parchment with nonstick spray too. (This is a must) 2. In a microwave safe bowl, microwave in 30 second bursts to melt butter and chocolate together until all is melted and smooth. Whisk in the sugars, then whisk in the eggs, vanilla and salt. Sift flour into the bowl and stir. Scrape the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the brownie layer is cooked through (toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean). Place the pan of brownies in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process (or cool at room temperature and add the cookie dough layer later). Prepare the cookie dough layer: 3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter, sugars and salt until soft and creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Mix in the milk and vanilla. Sprinkle in the flour and mix in until combined. Stir in the 1 cup of chocolate chips. Refrigerate dough for about an hour. When ready, scoop the cookie dough onto the top of the brownies and spread onto the brownie layer. Brownies must be cool to do this! Wet your hands or spray them with nonstick spray and pat the cookie dough on top in a even layer. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top to create a nicer, visual appearance. For easy, clean cutting, chill the brownies (wrap the brownies with plastic wrap and chill until firm- 1 to 2 hours). 4. Cut the brownies: Run a knife along the sides of the brownie pan and then use the parchment paper to lift the brownies from the pan and onto a cutting board. Slice the brownies with a sharp knife, wiping the knife with a paper towel between cuts. If you'd like all of your slices of brownies to look clean-cut without edges, use the knife to cut the sides of the brownies off before cutting pieces. Keep brownies slices covered and chilled until ready to serve.

We had another wonderful party to celebrate Eli's birthday.
I can't believe my boy is 5 !!!!
The party kids loved the spaceship cupcakes.
We had 71 people at his party. About 24 kids, not all are shown, and the rest were adults.
We call it the "End of Summer Berkheimer Bash" and have a Potluck feast with all of our friends and family.
Eli sure has a LOT of people that love him!
First we played "Stick the Alien in the Spaceship"
Then we had two teams build robots out of cardboard boxes, duct tape, egg cartons, pipe cleaners, washers, nuts and bolts.
I was so glad to see all the kids having fun....and then I heard about several who went home asking for stuff to make robots, dollhouses, and horse stables out of boxes!
Then it was present time:
Eli only took a 30 minute nap that day....so by this time he was getting tired...and a wee bit cranky.
But he was still cute making some funny faces :)
Attempt at a family picture...
Yikes! What is this:
"a carload of aliens pulls up to a bar....."
We decorated with Aliens, Rockets, and Robots.
And Lou Lou was in heaven, again, all day!
I found these awesome alien pajamas at Carters!
It was a good day!

Part III - UPDATE
I have been a bit frustrated, as I can't use my shop until the outside portion of our house reconstruction is complete which should be very soon. I have been using the down time to restore my Stanley bench plane. As soon as I get back in the shop, I have plans to make a video tool review so I am quite anxious to get going!
My Stanley Bench Plane restoration project is near completion. As a reminder, this is NOT a plane with intrinsic collector value. I am restoring this "user plane" to be used on my bench. Before using any of these processes make sure you do not de-value your plane if it has value as a "collector plane".
All parts were cleaned of rust using the electrolytic rust removal process described in the prior blog entry. The plastic front knob and tote were polished with white Tripoli and carnauba wax. Rather than re-apply blue japanning to the plane body I kept the utilitarian look of raw cast iron by using a modified "Parkerizing" process followed by several coats of wax.
To "Parkerize" the plane body, I soaked it in "KleanStrip Phosphoric" which turned the cast iron an even mild gray color. Immediately after the acid bath, the plane body was doused liberally with WD40 to displace the acid and water. The plane body was then dried and gently heated to 150° in an oven followed by two coats of carnauba wax and buffing.
For comparison, this is how the plane body used to look
This is how the plane body looks after de-rusting,
modified parkerizing and hot wax treatment

Next step is lapping the sole and sides. I am still deciding if I will spend the extra money on this humble plane to replace the plane iron and chipper with a heavier set from Hock Tools.
Reminder: Always use common sense and don't do anything that feels unsafe. Wear gloves and safety goggles. Always add acid to water! (I did not mix any acid solutions during this process – just trying to be complete).

Dear Pixel Scrapper friends,
It hasn't been a super fun day for me. When I woke up this morning, I had a list of useful things I was hoping to get done by now. Then, about eight hours ago, I discovered a corruption in the database that keeps track of everything on Pixel Scrapper. I took the site offline immediately, and have been working since then to try and get things restored. The good news is that we take daily snapshots of the database, and using a snapshot from yesterday I have been able to successfully restore the site and eliminate the corruption; the bad news is that the snapshot is from yesterday. This means that almost everything added to the site in the last 28 hours is now gone: forum posts, replies, layouts, even entire user profiles. I was able to recover forum topics that had been posted, but not replies to those topics (except in one case). People have also lost some free daily download credits in some cases, as well as records of items downloaded in the last 28 hours.
If you created an account in the last 28 hours, you will need to re-create your account. Any layouts that you uploaded will need to be re-uploaded, etc.
We have multiple layers of protection in place to keep this sort of thing from happening, but unfortunately the protection wasn't quite strong enough. I've learned a few new things, and added some additional protection, so that the glitch that caused the corruption in this case should not trouble us again in the future.
All of that being said, I'm extremely sorry for losing your data. It takes time and energy to post thoughtful replies in the forums, to upload layouts, and to fill out your profile, and I hate to be responsible for wasting that time. If there's one thing I really dislike, it's having to go back and do something over again that I've already spent time doing once.
Thank you for your patience and your understanding, and hopefully I can prevent this kind of thing happening in the future.
