Durban - Scott Jamieson of Scotland won the inaugural Nelson Mandela Championship on the second playoff hole at Royal Durban Golf Club on Sunday.The rain-shortened co-sanctioned Sunshine and European Tour event was reduced to 36 holes and Jamieson, Englishman Steve Webster and Spaniard Eduardo de la Riva all ended tied on seven under - a two-round total of 123.The three players headed back to the par-four 18th for a sudden-death playoff.De la Riva fell out of the first playoff hole as he made bogey while the others made regulation pars.On the second playoff hole, again down 18, Webster drove into the left rough, while Jamieson banged one down the middle.Jamieson found the green with his approach, with Webster hacking out to the practice green next to the 18th putting surface.Webster failed to get up-and-down for par and Jamieson had no trouble in two-putting for par and the title."It's absolutely the best achievement of my career," Jamieson said after his victory."I've had some nice steady progress for the last four years, starting off when I won the Euro Pro Tour."It was a strange day. I mean first thing this morning I wouldn't have thought I'd be standing with the trophy here. There were six shots between me and the leader, which usually makes it tough, but eight under par was a good score and good enough to get me in the play-off."The tournament was reduced to two rounds, the first time since the 2002 Portugal Open a European Tour event was just 36 holes, after play was abandoned on Thursday and Friday due to waterlogged conditions caused by heavy rains.The course was also cut from its original par of 70 to 65 and saw a number of scores under 60 in the second round.Tim Clark had led overnight and joined the leaders on seven under with seven holes to play, but a double bogey on 17 lead to him ending joint fourth, the highest placed South African.Alongside his was fellow round one leader Morten Orum Madsen of Denmark after his 64 in round two, Germany's Maximilian Kieffer (62) and another Englishman Matthew Nixon (61).Jaco van Zyl posted a remarkable eight-under 57 on Sunday after a first-round three-over 68 for a 125 total, ending in a share for eighth.But the day and 2013 season-opening European Tour win belonged to Jamieson, who later matched Van Zyl's effort with an incredible 57 himself.That set up a ticket to the playoff for the 29-year-old Glaswegian, who bagged €118 875 (R1.3m) for his effort."I knew I had to get off to a fast start after a really mediocre round yesterday," Jamieson said."I really had to get up and down to save par at 10 and then I chipped in on 11, which really got me going."I built up some momentum from there, made three birdies in a row on the par threes, which doesn't happen often."I just told myself stay patient because the chances would come and they did."When I ended on seven-under, I never thought it will be enough to win or get me into a play-off. So it's fantastic."

Fixes bugs found since release 5.1.18.
Functionality Added or Changed
Added support for pluggable authentication. via the
com.mysql.jdbc.AuthenticationPlugin interface
(which extends the standard "extension" interface).
Examples are in
com/mysql/jdbc/authentication and in
This feature introduces three new connection properties:
authenticationPlugins defines a
comma-delimited list of classes that implement
com.mysql.jdbc.AuthenticationPlugin and
are used for authentication unless disabled by the
disabledAuthenticationPlugins property.
disabledAuthenticationPlugins defines a
comma-delimited list of classes implementing
com.mysql.jdbc.AuthenticationPlugin or
mechanisms, i.e.
The authentication plugins or mechanisms cannot be used for
authentication. Authentication will fail if it requires one
of these classes. It is an error to disable the default
authentication plugin, either the one named by
defaultAuthenticationPlugin property or
the hardcoded one if
defaultAuthenticationPlugin property is
not set.
defaultAuthenticationPlugin defines the
name of a class implementing
which is used as the default authentication plugin. It is an
error to use a class that is not listed in
authenticationPlugins and is not one of
the built-in plugins. It is an error to set as default a
plugin that is disabled by being listed in the
disabledAuthenticationPlugins property.
It is an error to set this value to null or the empty
string; there must be at least one valid default
authentication plugin specified for the connection, meeting
all the constraints listed above.
Connection.changeUser() method did not
check for closed connections, leading to
NullPointerException errors when this method
was called on a closed connection.
Reduced the memory overhead for server-side prepared statements.
Each prepared statement allocated a 4K buffer for converting
streams. Now this allocation is skipped when no
set*Stream() methods have been used.

great car but....
By kate58 on
Vehicle2003 Cadillac DeVille 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
ReviewI bought this car with 89000 miles on it. two weeks after it was bought the problems started. One day while driving, the battery light came and the car shut off. I replaced the battery (what the dealership told me was the ONLY problem). after the new battery it ran fine for about a month then it started again. The dealer told me nothing was wrong with it. Every time i turn on the a/c or heat the car will shut off, even when randomly driving it shuts off. The service tire monitor light came on, fixed that only for it to come back on shortly after. Love the car despite these issues but just wish the dealer would have helped more.
Best FeaturesVery smooth ride, comfortable for all passengers, all digital gauge cluster, lots of space, overall layout of interior fittings is great.
Worst Featuresbetter MPG ( despite it being a boat of a vehicle), larger turn radius, the timing of the digital gauge cluster ( takes a while for it to switch between lighter and darker modes.

The downtown Fortuna camera is located at the
intersection of 11th and Main Streets. It keeps an eye on Main Street in both
directions, and can also look north on 11th Street. map
The cam is attached to the north side of the building and the view changes when we
bring a ladder and reset it.If the oncoming cars are in the near lane then it's looking west towards the Pacific Ocean. The beach is about seven or eight miles away, and sometimes you
will see the fog hanging over the ocean and the beach. The prevailing wind
also comes from that direction, so you'll see what kind of weather is generally coming this way.
Sometimes there are glorious sunsets.If the camera is looking east you'll
see giant redwood trees looming
over the tops of the buildings. Those are in Rohner Park which is a little over a
quarter-mile away.
This camera is sponsored by the Fortuna Downtown Merchants Association and
is located at the Fortuna Downtown Professional Building at 11th and
Main Streets. We've wanted a
permanent cam at this location for a long time and really appreciate that the downtown merchants are making this little corner of the world available on the Internet. During the summer and
fall this is a happenin' place, check out our
festival schedule! Especially come
by for the Fortuna Rodeo and
Redwood AutoXpo events, at
times it'll be wall-to-wall
people as far as the cam can see!
We have more cameras for
you to check out, and especially visit the
River Lodge camera. It has
stunning views of the Eel River and the lower delta.
What an awesome place to live!

Bro… See above the official trailer for the Michael Bay-produced film, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). From the looks of it, there's going to be plenty of action and destruction to the city where the Ninja Turtles reside. Sure, the turtles themselves are basically all CGI but if you can look past that, you're good. Shredder's looking pretty menacing as well and, well, Megan Fox is playing April O'Neil.
As a fan of the original TMNT movies I can only hope for the best, and from the looks of it, this reboot should be good.

Cowboys WR Whitehead says his dog is being held for ransom
Cowboys wide receiver Lucky Whitehead is pleading for the public's help in finding his puppy that he says was stolen from his home in Addison.
Whitehead explained in an Instagram post that a friend was taking care of Blitz last Sunday on July 19 while he was out of town. The wide receiver says someone broke into his house he was renting to steal his American Bully pup and is holding him for ransom.
I've taken some time to collect my thoughts on this subject matter, and it's very heartbreaking to say that Blitz has been stolen from my home last Sunday. While out of town, Blitz was being taken care of by a close friend at my house and someone broke in and took him. Whomever stole Blitz has contacted my phone numerous times, demanding ransom money. I strongly advise you to stop and return my boy safely before it gets any worse! If you know of any details regarding Blitz's whereabouts or who may be involved in this, please contact me immediately. 💔 #repost
The Cowboys star has had the 16-week-old puppy for less than two months but says he's spent a lot of his offseason with him and has even taken him to the lake and watched him grow.
Whitehead is convinced this is happening to him because he is a Dallas Cowboy and whoever stole Blitz is messing with his head.
"It's sickening. I know the dog is confused," he said. "It's killing me just because I wasn't there to protect him. It's just hard."
Whitehead says his friend was housesitting when the burglary happened. His friend told him he left for a bit and returned to find Bltiz's cage open and nowhere to be found. Eight pairs of Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Giuseppes shoes were also missing.
Whitehead quickly booked a flight home. He was at the airport when he got the first call.
"I got a blocked phone call," he recalled. "Soon as I answered it, they said, 'How much for the dog? How much is the dog worth for you?'"
Whitehead says those calls came at odd hours over the next 48 hours. The caller taunted him, telling him to ask Jerry Jones for the money.
"They called me superstar one day," he recalled. "They said, 'What's up superstar? You going to cut the check or what?'"
By Tuesday, Whitehead was ready to offer $10,000 for Blitz's safe return. He told the dog-nappers to first show him that his puppy is fine. They told him they would call him back and hasn't heard from them since.
Whitehead says Addison police dusted the home for fingerprints. There is no surveillance video.
Blitz hadn't been microchipped yet. Whitehead says he had an appointment to get that done two days after Blitz was taken.
"I'm disgusted. Whoever it is, they got a personal problem," he said. "Return the dog. I don't care who it is. I don't care who got it. It all can be over with."
Blitz has made several appearances in Whitehead's Instagram posts.
The American Bully even has his own Instagram account called @blitz2fast.
Whitehead asks anyone that may have information on his puppy should contact him immediately.

Consistently blogging good content is a better investment than hiring an SEO expert.
One of the most common questions I get from people is how to increase traffic to their website. My response is always the same. Do you blog? How often do you blog? Typically they don't have a blog or don't blog very frequently, often citing that they don't have anything to blog about. I disagree. I think every small business has something to talk about and should be blogging about it. So, here's a quick overview to get you started if you're one of those that doesn't have a blog or struggles with how to blog or what to blog about.
Awhile back I tweeted that "consistently blogging good content is a better investment than hiring an SEO expert." This tweet was a paraphrase from a video on the ReelSEO blog where Rick Calvert, CEO of BlogWorld said:
We all know that social [media] has turned search on its head. A much better investment than paying some SEO expert is to start a blog and start putting up good, relevant content on a consistent basis. That's going to increase your search ranking better than anything else you can probably do.
Here's the video, if you'd like to watch it.
So, that's why you should be blogging on a consistent basis, but maybe you're stuck and don't understand how to go about blogging or where to come up with ideas to blog about. So, here's a few blogging tips for you.
Know Your Audience and Connect with Them
Know who your audience is. Who are you trying to attract to your site. Hopefully you have a pretty good idea about who your customers are. What's the demographic? What are their interests? Write about the things your audience is interested in – what they want to learn about. Writing for your target market does not mean hard-selling your products or services to them. It means connecting with them, sharing with them, becoming a resource for them. Help them out. Be a resource for them. Establish trust with them and establish yourself as an expert, or at least a very useful and knowledgeable resource in your field.
Once you know who your audience is and what their interests are, listen to them. What keywords and phrases does your audience use? These keywords and phrases are blog topic ideas for you. Fill your posts with those keywords. Use Google Insights to identify other, related keywords people are searching for related to your content.
Types of Posts
Regarding the kinds of blog posts you do, consider incorporating several types of blog posts, *(thanks to Karen Rubin of Hubspot for this idea, see acknowledgements below).
- Basic, everyday posts – how-to, rich in keywords, quick to whip out
- Thoughtful posts – fewer and less often, take more time to write, establish yourself as a thought-leader
- Big Blog Posts – Lots of work, lots of links
- Fun posts – Perhaps a bit of frivolity but it shows your personality
- Firey posts – potentially controversial, use sparingly, be ready to defend yourself
Post Structure
Use headings (i.e. Heading 2, Heading3, Heading 4, in WordPress – Some SEO expertes recommend using only one Heading 1 on a page and that should be the title of the blog post. A good WordPress theme should already incorporate this for you.) for sections of your blog post.
Keep your basic, everyday posts to 500 – 800 words.
Uses bullet lists but don't go crazy with them
Each blog post should feature one main idea. If you've got several ideas you want to cover, write different blog posts for each idea.
Use categories and tags. Think of categories as the main content topics that your write about. For example, some of the topics I write most about are, WordPress and Online Video. These are two of my categories. A given blog post would probably only be assigned to a couple of categories at most. Use tags to identify the main keywords that are used in your post. Categories and tags can be useful ways for your readers to find your content. Include lists of categories and tags in your sidebar or footer to help your readers find similar articles.
Always add at least 1 photo or image. Make sure you have the rights to use it. Better yet, take your own photos and use them.
Add video as much as possible. I'm a big fan of online video. Video gets people's attention. If you have a webcam, an iPhone or almost any camera, you have the ability to incorporate short video of yourself talking about the subject. And if you upload that video to YouTube, the second largest search engine behind Google, that makes your content that much easier to find. To learn more about online video, check out the online video category on this blog.
Blog Topic Ideas
A lot of people have a tough time coming up with ideas to write about on a blog. They think they don't have anything to write about. But I'd be willing to be that there's a ton of ideas out there for you to write about. Here's a few ideas about where to come up with ideas to blog about.
- Write about questions that you receive via email (check your outbox).
- Write about questions you get on the phone and in person.
- What questions are you constantly having to answer? Write about it and then point people to your article when they ask you, saving yourself some time down the road (that's the genesis of many of the posts on this site).
- Share a recent experience.
- Comment on other blog articles from other sites.
- Turn a press release into a blog article.
- Look in industry forums for topic ideas. The questions people are asking in your industry forums are fantastic blog post topic ideas. And the words they use? Great keyword resource.
- What are your competitors blogging about?
- What are others in your industry blogging about?
- What are the latest trends, thoughts, ideas in your industry?
- What impacts do world, national or local news events have on your industry?
- If you make and sell products, write about your process. How do you design, test, produce? Write about your designers or testers working on the new product. You don't have to divulge your new secret feature, but talk about what goes into designing and testing, what you're trying to accomplish, how this product will make users happier. Most consumers probably have no idea how much time and effort goes into product design. Help them appreciate that. They may even give you some helpful feedback and they'll feel like they were part of the process.
- Write tips and tutorials about your industry, product line, etc.
- Write about recent events your organization has held or participated in.
- Got additional ways you come up with ideas for content? Share them by commenting below.
Writing Headlines
Writing headlines is part art, part science. The headline is what will probably initially pull your readers in. Headlines get shared via Twitter and Facebook. Practice coming up with good headlines that will get people's attention. Write the headline before the article. Surprise people. Use keywords. Check out author and blogger Tim Ferris's recent article Blogging by Numbers: How to Create Headlines That Get Retweeted for some great advice on writing headlines.
A key element of blogging is to interact with your readers via comments. You want interaction with your audience. You want comments. Respond to comments. When someone comments on your blog, subscribe to that commenter and follow them on Facebook. Comment and participate on their blog. Every blogging tool out there has a field to enter your website address when you leave a blog comment. When you leave a comment, your name will show up, linked to the website you enter there. That's a link back to your blog. That's good. But, don't abuse that. You don't want to be a blog spammer. Keep your comments relevant, thoughtful, helpful and civil.
Ok. That's probably more than enough for you to try to digest for now. Hopefully this gave you some ideas on how to start or improve your blogging. Got a comment or question about blogging? Join in the conversation by commenting below.
Many of the ideas from this post came from a presentation given by Karen Rubin of HubSpot at a WordPress WordCamp in Boston in 2010. Here's the video of that presentation:

Leno and NBC said that he's leaving next spring and that Jimmy Fallon will take over.
Jay Leno, host of NBC's Tonight Show, announced Wednesday that he will wrap up more than two decades on the iconic late-night show in spring 2014. And NBC said Jimmy Fallon, host of NBC's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, will slide into that role after Leno's exit.
The change will coincide with NBC's coverage of the 2014 Winter Olympics.
FIRST TAKE: USA TODAY's Robert Bianco weighs in
As part of the transition, The Tonight Show will return to its original home in 30 Rock in New York and will be executive-produced by Emmy Award winner Lorne Michaels (Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock).
Programming plans for Fallon's current 12:35 a.m. ET/PT time slot are in development and will be announced soon, though Seth Meyers, Saturday Night Live's head writer and host of its Weekend Update, is a candidate.
Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon poked fun at the late-night rumors swirling around them in a music video that aired between their back-to-back NBC shows Monday night. (April 2) AP
"Congratulations Jimmy," Leno said in a statement. "I hope you're as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you're the old guy. If you need me, I'll be at the garage."
Said Fallon: "I'm really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow."
NBC is plotting the move as a generational shift as Leno, 62, gives way to Fallon, 38. David Letterman is 65, and ABC in January moved Jimmy Kimmel, 45, a half-hour earlier to go head to head with Leno and Letterman. Yet Leno remains the top-rated show, and NBC Universal officials likened the handoff at the No. 1 show to Leno's replacement of Johnny Carson in 1992.
The difference is that Carson voluntarily retired, while Leno would have remained at Tonight as long as NBC would have him. Leno's current contract expires in September 2014, but the network smoothed the way for the transition, got Leno on board, and the two hosts even teamed up for a jokey video that aired Monday night, suggesting there were no hard feelings.
Leno was displaced once before, in 2009, when NBC shifted Conan O'Brien into the Tonight Show, fulfilling a promise it had made the red-haired comedian five years earlier. But after several months, when O'Brien's ratings faltered and an experimental primetime Leno show failed, NBC reversed course, O'Brien bolted, and Leno returned to Tonight.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg weighed in on the move to NYC — and the jobs that move could bring: "We couldn't be happier that one of New York's own is bringing the show back to where it started," he said in a statement.
CNN talk show host Piers Morgan tweeted: "Hope people stop sniping now and give (Leno) the send-off he deserves." Bravo's Andy Cohen tweeted, "MAZEL to the great @JimmyFallon." And actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt tweeted to Fallon, "Congratulations ... so, so happy + excited for you."

Top Care Quality Awards for Sutter Health Physician Groups
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Nine physician groups affiliated and aligned with Sutter Health have been honored as 'top performers' or 'most improved' in the care quality report from the independent and highly-respected health care leadership group Integrated Healthcare Association (IHA). The 2007 pay-for-performance (P4P) program results -- used by seven health plans to calculate incentive payments for physician groups -- showed gains in clinical quality and use of information technology, plus stable patient experience scores.
"We continue to listen to our patients and adapt and improve our services so their experiences are the best they can be -- each and every time," said Sutter Health President and CEO Patrick Fry. "The fact that so many of our physician organizations scored so well on these IHA benchmarks shows that our work is making a difference.""Top Overall Performance Award" recipients
Seven of the 26 award-winning groups in Northern California are part of the Sutter Medical Network.
-- Mills-Peninsula Medical Group (Burlingame) -- Palo Alto Medical Foundation -- Camino Region (Mt. View) -- Palo Alto Medical Foundation -- Palo Alto Region (Palo Alto) -- Palo Alto Medical Foundation -- Santa Cruz Region (Santa Cruz) -- Sutter Medical Foundation -- Sutter Medical Group (Sacramento) -- Sutter Regional Medical Foundation -- Solano Regional Medical Group (Fairfield) -- Sutter West Medical Group (Davis)
"Among the 230 physician groups participating in California's pay-for-performance program, these are the leaders in the use of evidence-based health care processes and health information technology that result in better care for patients," said Don Rebhun, M.D., regional medical director, HealthCare Partners and IHA board chair.
"Quality Improvement Award" recipients
Two of the four award-winning groups in Northern California are part of the Sutter Medical Network.
-- Sutter Gould Medical Foundation (Modesto) -- Sutter Medical Foundation North Bay (Santa Rosa)
"Sutter Medical Network physicians are committed to transforming health care to achieve the highest levels of quality and service," said Jeff Burnich, M.D., Sutter Medical Network senior vice president and executive officer. "IHA's report card confirms the success of our ongoing collaborative efforts across our network."
The top overall performance awards were based on important health care quality measures, including preventive care and chronic care management, patient satisfaction, and use of information technology to assure patients received evidence-based care. The same measures were used to determine the quality improvement awards which recognized physician groups that showed significant improvement from 2006 to 2007. The complete pay-for-performance results are available at http://www.iha.org/.
According to the Integrated Healthcare Association, California's P4P effort is the largest physician incentive program in the United States, involving 35,000 physicians caring for more than 11 million individuals.

Put playtime on rewind
Once upon a time, in a land without PS3s, Xboxes and Nintendo Wiis, we made up imaginative games that filled vacations with lively fun. Here's a quick tour for kids who have stuck the passe tag onto some of these awesome playtime wonders. Try a few before school starts again, says PHORUM DALAL
Spinning top
One of the oldest toys known to man, a spinning top is the perfect example of simple pleasures. A string and top was all you needed to hold the attention span of kids for hours. A well-practised tug at the thread will send your top whirling away to glory. Compete with your friends by timing whose top spins the longest. Try spinning on different surfaces, including your palm. Warning: It's a lose-lose situation for those with ticklish skin.
Dog and the bone
This game was a hit at birthday parties. It requires two teams of an equal number of players. One player from each team fights it out to snatch a handkerchief (the bone) placed on the floor in the shape of a cone, which he/she then has to take to the team. This involved many sly manuevers and false alarms as we circled the hanky before making our move. If the player is caught by the opponent while running towards his team, the hanky has to be dropped and the round starts again.
Blind man's buff
The denner (seeker) is blindfolded and led into a room where players have to dodge him / her. Played in a spacious room or compound, he/she has to catch players without being able to see them, while they scatter and try to avoid him/her.
There's scope for cheating if the blindfold is transparent, which allows the denner to spot silhouettes. Players indulge in teasing to make the denner change direction.
Collecting colourful speckled marbles, bartering them for new ones, and playing with them — the game of marbles is one of the most exciting yet simple ones that consumed hours of our childhood. Use your middle and index fingers to toss a marble and take turns knocking the opponent's marbles out of the playing field.
Dark room
This game usually kept us (and our neighbours) awake till the wee hours of the morning. As the name suggests, it is played in a room, in the dark. All players hide in a room — under the bed, behind the curtain and inside the closet — and once they are well-hidden, the 'denner' (seeker) is called in to find each one. The first person caught has to play the denner in the next round. A tweak in the game is to play moving dark room, where players are allowed to move around.
Tippy tippy tap: What colour do you choose?
If you thought it was only girls who played this, we know a lot of schoolboys (investment bankers today) who roamed the school corridors with one in their pockets at all times. Take a square sheet of paper. Fold each corner into the centre. Now, turn over the paper and repeat the procedure. Fold the sheet into half. Four flaps are created, on the inside of which you write little messages. Colour them in different shades, slip your thumbs and forefingers in, and your Tippy Tippy Tap is ready.
Secret letters
If you always wanted to be a sleuth, here's an easy way to start. Take a sheet of paper, a bird's feather (or pen), and dip it in lemon juice. Write a secret note that only your best friend will be able to decipher. The trick is to read it in sunlight, or heat the paper by placing it against a bulb till the writing turns brown and reveals itself.
Cup phones
Be a mini Graham Bell and make your own telephone. Take two thermocol cups and poke a small hole in each.
Pass a string through the holes and tie a knot. Make sure the string is held straight and tight. Hold the cup up to your mouth and talk into it. Have your friend hold the other end to his / her ear and listen.

Welcome to As the Brownie Turns: the 2nd time's the charm edition.
Remember yesterday we brought you the chocolate and almond butter version of Mom's Brownies cut into cute, but fussy little Valentine shapes?
Remember how much trouble (with a capital T) it is to get fudgy brownies to cut properly and not crack? And remember all those leftover pieces? The edges, the extra pieces and the no-good broken shapes?
Turns out there is a perfect solution.
Cake Pops. I kid not.
Never in my little corner of the world did I expect to ever say those two words in one sentence. I bake neither precious nor adorable things. I may bring you over-the-top baked stuff, but nothing coming out of my kitchen would ever be accused of being precious and adorable. I cannot pipe well. Heck, filling a piping bag makes me sweat. I don't do itty bitty decorating, and I certainly have some gaps in the rolling things evenly department. I'd flunk out of pastry school by the 2nd week.
But I hate to waste anything and those brownies pieces sitting in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator were taunting me. So I did what anyone might do. I tossed them into a big old bowl and smashed them to crumbs. I made a little ganache and whipped it up into frosting to redeem myself ever so slightly. Alternatively you can use a can of your favorite flavor frosting.
With extra clean hands and big bottles of Kahlua and Godiva Liqueurs (optional) I mixed the whole heap together until they were not terribly sticky and I could roll them into little round balls. Some of the stuff I rolled out flat-ish (remember: I'm challenged when it comes to even thickness rolling) and cut out heart shapes.
They went into the deep freeze to firm up. Once numb and cold (the cake) I popped sticks up their you-know-what and dipped each one into a vat of what else, but dark chocolate. There were some nonpareil and sprinkles involved.
And the most amusing part was getting a look at how I tried to pop the sticks into the grate of a cooling rack set over a pan which should have held them up, but instead slid off the pan every time I added a new Cake Pop. I'm guessing investing in a cake pop styrofoam holder would not have been a bad thing.
I am certain a ten-year-old could do this better than I did. It doesn't hurt that they tasted pretty good and the 2nd day they were even better. It is a slightly messy task, but a good use for leftover cake or brownies (or wrecks).
Lemons. Lemonade. Cake wreck. Cake Pops.
You could always buy flowers on a stick. But you can't eat them.
|Mom's Brownies Valentine Cake Pops
- 1 batch each Mom's Brownies (almond and chocolate) see post for link.
- 1 cup of ganache whipped (1/2 cup heavy cream plus 10 oz. dark chocolate, chopped) or about 1 cup of canned frosting (chocolate is preferable).
- Optional: slugs of Godiva and Kahlua (2 tablespoons each)
- 1 pound of semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
- 10 cake pop sticks (think Wilton)
- Sprinkles: optional
- In a very large bowl smash the brownies into the finest crumbs you can - they are fudgy so it will not be easy, but try to not leave large chunks. Break them up the best you can.
- Heat the heavy cream to a simmer. Remove from heat. Add 10 oz. of chopped (or chips) to the cream and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Stir thoroughly. Cool at room temperature for about an hour or so until it starts to thicken. Whip 1 cup on high until it looks like a nice fluffy frosting. Alternatively, you can use canned frosting. Pick a nice chocolate flavor (make sure it is GF) and start with one cup.
- Add the frosting to the brownie bits and stir - you might have to use clean hands to get it mixed in really well. Add more frosting as needed just to get it to a stage where you can roll them into balls. Add the liqueurs if using and mix in well.
- Roll into 1.5 inch balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. You can take a good portion and roll it right on the baking sheet (with parchment). Be sure to cover the top with plastic wrap before rolling. Roll about 1 inch thick. Cut out as many shapes as you wish and place them on the other prepared baking sheet lined with parchment. Once finished place the baking sheet in the freezer to chill for at least two hours. Overnight is even better. Cover with plastic wrap if freezing for more than a couple of hours.
- Remove from the freezer and leave them on the counter while you melt the dipping chocolate.
- In a double boiler melt most of the chocolate - hold out about 25%. Stir once in a while. While it is melting and if the shapes/balls are slightly thawed, place the sticks in them gently making sure you don't crack the shapes. The mixture should be pliable enough to push back into shape once the stick is inserted.
- Once the chocolate is melted, remove from the heat and add in the other chocolate a little at a time while stirring - to temper. That will drop the temperature of the chocolate and temper the batch. Keep the double boiler handy because you may need to heat up the mixture as you are dipping, but just ever so slightly.
- Tempered chocolate will keep at room temperature. If your chocolate covering seems tacky and doesn't harden - no worries. Just store the Cake Pops in the refrigerator.

Want more advice from Karen Kelsky? Browse The Professor Is In archives or check out The Quick and Relatively Painless Guide to Your Academic Job Search.
I'm hoping you can help me with a tricky issue regarding CV length on job applications. I am a recent Ph.D., currently on the job market in media studies, applying for both postdocs and regular faculty appointments (tenure-track and nontenure-track). Occasionally I will see application instructions that limit the length of the CV to two or three pages, and I find that a bit confusing (and frustrating). If an application requires the CV to be only two pages, or three, what am I supposed to cut?
It seems common for even an early career scholar to have a CV longer than that (even without "padding"), and, as far as I understand it from both reading your book/blog and from advice I've received from faculty advisers, it's especially important for grad students and recent graduates to show all legit evidence that they can meet the bar — by being published, by consistently presenting at conferences, by teaching courses in relevant areas, by taking on leadership and organizing roles, etc. I feel like I'm at a place in my career where I have to list things individually (because I don't yet have a full-time academic appointment), whereas a more established scholar wouldn't necessarily need to list everything individually. Just including the references takes at least half a page unless I want everything smooshed together with tiny font. Do I cut the references? Am I wrong about this? It seems strange that an early career scholar with publications, conference papers, and teaching experience would be "punished" by a length requirement on an academic CV.
This question actually continues on for about a page longer than the condensed version here. I asked my editors to retain even this version— which exceeds the typical permissible query length for my column — because it so perfectly captures the combination of desperation, frustration, anxiety, and exasperation that permeates the academic job market at this point. I share it in order to sympathize and empathize: These inconsistent and apparently illogical instructions, expectations, and requirements for the job market are indeed crazy-making.
I always wonder, in particular, about the request for a short CV.
Now let me pause and say clearly: If you are a regular reader of my blog and book, you know that I adamantly insist on strict page lengths for the cover letter, teaching statement, research statement, and diversity statement. I argue for such limits because of the crisis conditions in higher education. Escalating numbers of applications (anywhere from 200 to 1,000 for an opening) fall into the hands of an ever-shrinking tenure-line professoriate — which means that search committees are exhausted and easily distracted.
So I insist on — and brook almost no exceptions to — the rule of a two-page cover letter, a one-page teaching statement, a two-to-four-page research statement (lower end for the humanities, higher end for STEM fields), and a one-to-two-page diversity statement (still variable due to the relative newness of the genre). I have no objection to the idea of short job documents.
However, even I do not advocate for a reduced CV. A CV is so simple, basic, and formulaic that it is very difficult to pad in an intrusive way. Of course people do occasionally pad their CVs — for example, by adding guest lectures or indulging in narrative flights of fancy ("my work in this position is hard to condense but encompassed a range of blah, blah, blah...") — but it's rare. And because of the list-like nature of the CV genre, such errors are easy to overlook.
It particularly makes no sense to ask for condensed CVs from early-stage academics. These junior scholars should be able to get credit for all of their productivity, which is not that extensive to begin with. Why require them to cut it? Indeed, when I have encountered the requirement of a short CV, it's almost always for a postdoc or a grant application, rather than for a tenure-track job. That still doesn't really make sense to me, but given the short-term nature of a postdoc appointment, I can appreciate the search committee's desire to limit the total number of pages requiring review.
In any case, here is how to shorten your CV. First, don't panic, don't fall apart, and don't devolve into hysterical multi-page pleas for help. You have a Ph.D. (or will soon). You are smart and capable. You can do this. It's not that hard.
Begin by understanding and accepting that search committees know what they want. They have their reasons. Do not — under any circumstances — ignore their instructions. Do not — under any circumstances — send more pages (or more documents) than requested. You will only alienate the committee, and demonstrate that you would make a bad colleague.
Here are the headings you must include in a shortened CV:
- Education
- Professional Appointments
- Publications
- Grants
- Awards and Honors
- Conferences
- Invited Talks
- Languages (if relevant to your scholarly identity; if not, skip)
Here are the headings you should almost certainly jettison:
- Research Interests
- Teaching Interests
- Dissertation summary
- Service
- Outreach
- Nonacademic Work
- Related Professional Skills
- Professional Memberships
- References
Here are some suggestions fortrimming the content of your CV:
- Reduce your font to 11 point (but no smaller). And use a font that in 11 point is legible to middle-aged eyes!).
- Use only single-line breaks between headings (I normally recommend double-line breaks to increase white space).
- Adjust the top and bottom margins to 0.75 inch instead of an inch.
- Adjust your contact information to use the minimum number of lines.
- Follow the same order of headings that I recommend in my general CV advice.
- Under Education, list only the bare minimum info related to your degrees (Ph.D., M.A., B.A.), with no extra verbiage about dissertation, committee, additional training, and so on.
- Add "Selected" to all content headings.
- Retain all major publications, but feel free to remove low-impact ones such as book reviews, encyclopedia entries, conference proceedings (unless you are in a STEM field where those count), and so on.
- Remove publications "in progress." List only those published or in submission.
- Limit your lists of Grants and Conferences to those within the last five years or so. If that doesn't sufficiently cut length, reduce further.
Whether you prune the Teaching Experience and Service sections of your two-page CV will depend on the job ad, so consider it carefully.
Your teaching record will obviously be relevant if you're applying for faculty jobs. But the role of teaching varies if a short CV is requested as part of a research-oriented postdoc fellowship or a grant application. Some fellowships include a major teaching element; some include very little. The specific fellowship requirements will dictate whether or not to include any mention of teaching on the short CV. At any rate, a truncated Teaching Experience section should include a brief list of the titles of relevant courses you've taught, where, and when (i.e., "Fall 2016" in parentheses on the same line).
Service should almost certainly be jettisoned from a two-page CV. I give pause only because, if the postdoc has a "diversity" priority to it or some other thematic agenda, and your service or administrative work has spoken directly to that agenda, then you may want to retain just a line or two as evidence. But probably not.
Following these rules, junior scholars should have no problem producing a two-page CV. Indeed, anyone can, as long as they cut their record ever more deeply and retain only the most recent and most significant accomplishments.

A parachute trails behind the aircraft, attached to a large pallet on which a BLU-82/B (Bomb Live Unit-82) is fastened. The load is released and the parachute pulls the pallet and bomb out of the plane. Scene reverts to the view of the C-130 from another aircraft. The parachute and bomb are seen falling from the C-130. Camera follows them as they fall through the cloud layer. Next, a huge ball of fire is seen in the jungle below. Dense gray smoke billows upward. Scene shifts to view from a helicopter flying closer to the ground, which is obscured by dense tree canopy below. View of the explosion site shows depression in the jungle canopy, but the helicopter doesn't get close enough to reveal more.
Views from a slow moving aircraft (possibly a helicopter) of the port facilities at Cam Rahn Bay, during the Vietnam War. The port has 5 deep water piers, 4 for general cargo and one further north for ammunition. Cranes installed by Sea-Land are seen on pier 4.
Sorry there was no navy base or training center in 1970. This clip shows the Army base and port.

Seattle talk show radio host Dave Mahler dared Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Jeff Nelson to take bone fragments taken from his elbow surgery and sell them on EBay.
Nelson followed through on the bet but EBay stopped bidding because EBay does not allow body parts to be auctioned on its site. The top bid was $23,600 before the auction was put to a halt.
Using "(the) bone chips for cloning or DNA extraction purposes" was prohibited by the Nelson. Other baseball players have sold goatee clippings (Tim Hudson of the Oakland A's) and used bubble gum (Luis Gonzalez of the Arizona D'backs) online.

I randomly happened upon this new way of preparing waters bottles before you throw them away that saves space. I've never seen anyone else do this though I doubt it hasn't been thought of before.
Allow me to demonstrate.
First, take your bottle of water that wastes your valuable space.
Good. Now take off the cap and empty (read: drink) the contents.
Now crush the water bottle like you would a can of beer (or coke).
Then put the cap on it and you're done.
And voila, you have trash that is less trashy and takes up less space.

Exceptional day at the sales
IT WAS a busy day at the 33rd annual Show and Sale of Bullocks and Bulls in Carnew Mart recently.
Some 970 cattle passed through the ring, and David Quinn of Carnew Mart said there was exceptional trade for all stock on the day, and there was a full clearance.
He said that beef cattle met a very firm trade, with beef bullocks selling to €2,000, and generally from €2.05 to €2.43 /kg.
First prize in the beef class went to P. J. Farrell from Clonegal, for a Limousin Bullock weighing 820 kg sold at €2,000 to N. Grufferty, Dunbia. Pat Kirwan of Barntown won the Store Bullock Class with a Belgian Blue Bullock weighing 684 Kg, selling for €1,820 to John Kelly, APB Waterford.
The Weanling Bull trade saw strong Northern and export demand with 50 per cent of the weanlings on offer bought for export, and prices in the range of €2.10 to a top of €3.22 / kg. Andy McEvoy had first prize with a CHX BB Bull, 500 kg, sold for €1,460 to Viastar. Other prize winners included: Best pair of Beef Bullocks, Brian Doyle, Monaseed, 2 LMBlks, 662 kg at €1,430; Best Non Cont. Factory Blk, Michael Osborne, Carnew, 1AA, 726 kg at €1,540; Best 2 Store Blks over 450 kg, 2 BB BLK 555 kg at €1210, Alvin Hill, Gorey; Best 2 Store Blks under 450 kg, 2 BB Blks, 422 kg at €1,055, Derry Rothwell, Tinahely.

If you're out late tonight and hear loud aircraft overhead, don't be concerned: The North American Aerospace Defense Command will be conducting an exercise between midnight on Tuesday and 2 a.m. early Wednesday morning.
The exercise, known as Falcon Virgo, involves a series of training flights to refine operations and test the National Capital Region Visual Warning System. Civil Air Patrol aircraft, Air Force F-16s and a U.S. Coast Guard HH-65 Dolphin helicopter will all take part.
Should the weather prove problematic, the exercise will be held on Wednesday evening and into early Thursday morning. If bad weather persists, officials could postpone or cancel the exercise. For what it's worth, the Capital Weather Gang forecasts rain on Tuesday night and rain, sleet and potential snow on Wednesday night.

o Text: Philippians 4:19
o Preparation: You'll need one paper bag for each group of four and a watch. Hide treats for half the children where they'll easily find them. You'll need a helper to deliver a bowl of "harvest" mixture: raisins, mini-marshmallows, peanuts, and M&M's candies.
o The Message: (Form groups of four. Have children number off in their groups. Close your classroom door.)
Say: "Pilgrims came on boats to America long ago to start a new life. They struggled to survive, and they had to have food to eat. Sometimes they couldn't grow enough food, but they relied on God to help during hard times. God provided, and they were able to share their food with the American Indians at Thanksgiving."
"Let's play a Thanksgiving game. When I say, "Pilgrim #1, harvest your food," #1 from each group will look for food to share with others. When I call "time," put your harvest in your sack. Then we'll send out pilgrim #2."
(Time each round for 30 seconds. After the last round, have each group count its harvest.)
"How'd you feel about the food you got? How'd the pilgrims have enough food to share with the American Indians at Thanksgiving?"
(Have your helper knock on the door to deliver a bowl of harvest mixture.)
"God blessed me with plenty, and I want to share his blessing with you. You worked hard to gather the harvest, but there wasn't enough. Next time you need something, how can you rely on God to provide?"
(Read the Scripture and close in Thanksgiving prayer.)

Everybody's wondering about why dogs eat tissues, why dogs are so fascinated with used tissues. I'm not. I'm wondering how to obtain them. I used to have a source. My source was the trash basket. There was one trash basket in the 2nd floor bathroom and one in the 2nd floor bedroom and one in the far and darkened corner of the basement room.
The basement one was the easiest to obtain my used tissues because there I had a lot of privacy and because the carpeting absorbed the sound of my walking. If the door to the basement was open at all, I could just push it open a little more and go down the stairs, over to the corner of the room, and pull out used tissues without anybody knowing where I was. If I was walking around on the 2nd floor my parents could hear my footsteps and rush up and intercept.
I did my business with the tissue right there, and left. That is, I left the tissue, the evidence, on the floor beside the basket.
When my Dad would see it laying there, he would have a fit.
It's not like I didn't know what I was doing. If I was in the middle of my crime and Dad or Mom came home, I would beat my tail behind me in small and rapid whipping-like motions and slink my way upstairs or downstairs. They knew, even before they saw the evidence.
One day I came home and there was a change, an extreme change, to our home in three places.
My parents are pretty smart. I'm going to just have to accept this for the moment or to try to find another source of used tissues. But of this I'm sure: If there is another source of used tissues, I will find it!

Language to recall Geiger resubmitted
Published 7:00 pm, Sunday, February 15, 2004
The language to recall village council member David Geiger was submitted by resident Deb McNamara.
An attempt to turn in signatures on a recall petition by McNamara for Geiger failed last week after one of the 11 petition sheets was not dated, and there was one nonregistered voter on the sheet.
The mistakes moved the count of signatures on the petitions to 104 - one shy of the 105 signatures needed to move the process along.
The recall process now must start over, with the filing of language.
Language submitted on Friday is nearly identical to the original language.
Unedited, it reads:
"Failure as Police Committee member to acknowledge citizen complaints against Pigeon Police Chief. Failure to convey concerns regarding the Pigeon Police Chief to all members of Village Council. Failure to contact Fire or Ambulance representatives, at the request of council members, to discuss dispute between Pigeon Police Chief and these other public servants. Ignoring obvious growing concerns of the public regarding Pigeon Police Chief's behavior until it became necessary to involve legal council costing residents unnecessary legal fees."
The Huron County Election Commission, comprised of Huron County Clerk Peggy Koehler, County Treasurer Roberta Moetteli and Probate Judge David Clabuesch, will meet at 10 a.m. Feb. 25 in the Probate Courtroom to determine if language in the petition is clear enough to put on a ballot.
The drive to recall another council member, Durward "Butch" Miller, is still moving forward, having enough signatures to continue. Miller has until March 8 to protest, in writing, any signatures on his petitions.
Both Geiger and Miller were members of the police committee before the group was dissolved after a recommendation of the Citizen Review Committee.
The committee was formed after some 200 people showed up to a village council meeting last summer, most asking for then Police Chief Brent Doxtader to be fired due to what many claimed were abuses of his police power. He later resigned in September.

The Who's 2006/07 World tour touched down at Madison Square Garden last night with a ferocious set that contained 10 new songs — the most they've done since the original Quadrophenia tour in 1973. Opening with a trio of Sixties singles ("I Can't Explain," "The Seeker," and "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere), Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey played "Fragments" (which sounds like an updated "Baba O'Riley") from their upcoming LP The Endless Wire. This set the stage for the rest of the night, which alternated pretty steadily between new songs and familiar hits such as "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "My Generation."
Touring behind a yet to be released album may be an unconventional move, but the MSG crowd treated the new material with a surprising amount of respect. The best of the new songs, such as "Mike Post Theme" (a tribute to the prolific TV composer) and "Black Widow's Eyes" (about Stockholm Syndrome) may not reach the heights of Who's Next — but they're light years better than one would expect from a 42-year-old band that hasn't cut a new album since 1982 and is literally half-dead. If you have any doubts, check out Peter and Roger doing another new track, "Man In A Purple Dress" on Letterman last Thursday.
Opening up for he Who, for some inexplicable reason, was former Faith No More singer Mike Patton and his seemingly Limp Bizkit-inspired new group Peeping Tom. Never have I seen a worse choice for an opening band: As Patton slam danced on the stage, barking out indecipherable lyrics in front of a DJ, every fiftysomething around me (and there were plenty) looked on with a mixture of confusion and horror. If only he had been one-fiftieth as entertaining as his recent appearance on "All My Children."
Update: On my way into the Garden I walked pass a short, stocky, unshaven man in a hat. I thought to myself "That looks like a homeless Phil Collins." Low and behold!

The bad news is that I finished my first bra muslin last night and the result is a gigantic, matronly, unholy terror. See?
It might be better once the trims are applied. I had some gaping in the armholes and the shape was pretty pointy. Using Amy's guide, I made adjustments to the pattern pieces. I'll sew up another muslin tonight. One thing I didn't do, I just realized, is sew down the channels and add the underwires. That seems like a pretty important step. So, I'm going to try out the underwires, then sew muslin number two.
Despite the poor fit, I'm really, really excited about the potential here and the process. It was fun to sew and took such a tiny bit of fabric. My mind is racing with ideas!
Speaking of which, and it's all good news from here on out, I also plan on making some Rosy Ladyshorts.
I bought black lace trim to go with a lot of my stash knits. Compared to sewing a bra, undies seem relatively straight-forward. I've had issues in the past trying to fit bottoms (CLOVERS), but I think these will be different because of the knit fabric.
Annnnnd, I've added several new pieces to the shop. Get 20% off with the code SUMMER20 – it's valid through Sunday.
I'm becoming more active on the Native Clutter FB page, so if you'd like to receive weeklyish updates go here.
It's free-sew at DDI today, so I'm going to run over and train on the coverstitch. YAY!

Sometimes, a girl can get a little blue. Home alone on a rainy Friday night with a lingering cold, I found myself falling squarely into this category. Rather than moping about the house, I did what I always do. I went through the list of things I wanted to cook. I've got notes on my fridge, a Google doc on my computer, and the list in my little brain. On this particular night, I didn't have to go far.
The level of melancholy I was facing called for something serious. Lately, I've been dreaming of a deep dark chocolate cake that tastes like Mexican hot chocolate. Specifically, I've dreamt of one that is reminiscent of the Aztec Drinking Chocolate from Vosges- which is a rich dark drinking chocolate flavored with cinnamon, vanilla, & chilies. The grocer near my house was out of decent baking chocolate for my ganache, so I went to my lovely corner store and splurged on Dagoba 70%. I used pure cocoa powder for the cake- not Dutch process.
I started with a lovely devil's food cake recipe from one of my favorite bloggers, David Lebovitz, and I went from there. Baking is still sort of magic to me. I'm amazed every time something works, and making this beautiful chocolately layer cake was no exception. Watching the ganache go from liquid to an actual frosting made me nothing short of giddy. And between frosting the cake, listening to Noah Levine on my itunes, and bringing a big slice of the finished cake to Omar at my corner store, I was feeling pretty good by night's end. Oh, and it tasted pretty delicious too!
- 9 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ cups minus 2 tablespoons unbleached pastry flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (optional, you might choose to use less if you don't like hot food)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- ½ cup water
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 10 ounces 67-72% chocolate, coarsely chopped
- ½ cup water
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter
- Place rack in center of oven & preheat oven to 350º
- Grease two 9″ springform pans and line the bottoms with circles of parchment paper.
- Sift flour, corn starch, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, baking powder cinnamon, and chili powder in a bowl.
- In the bowl your standing mixer, (or by hand), cream butter and sugar until smooth- about five minutes then add your eggs one at a time.
- Mix together the water and milk. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter, egg, sugar mixture and incorporate well, the add the water and milk. Next add the last of the flour mixture and stir until it looks like cake batter.
- Pour the batter into the two pans and bake for 17-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
- To make the ganache,melt the chocolate and water in a heat proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stirring gently until completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Whisk small pieces of butter into the chocolate until it becomes totally smooth. Allow the ganache to cool and thicken up before frosting the cake. This will take a while. I was impatient and sped things up by sticking the bowl in the fridge for about an hour.
- To frost the cake, remove layers from pans and place a nice thick layer of frosting on top of the bottom layer then place the top layer atop that one. Then frost the top of the cake first and finish with sides. I used my cake stand to frost the cake as I don't have a fancy cake spinner thing.
What helps you beat the winter blues? I'd love to know. Leave a comment and help a blogger out!

This website is for the class of 1963 that graduated from Stratford High School
in Stratford, CT. We began our high school journey in split sessions as the only
