At Correspondents' Dinner, Biden Quips They're Obama's 'Base'
Recycling a theme which President Barack Obama used last year at
media dinners, that shows self-awareness of how journalists are allies,
headlining Wednesday night's Radio and Television Correspondents
Association dinner carried live on C-SPAN2, Vice President Joe Biden
quipped those in the audience are Obama's "base." One of Biden's lines:
The truth is I can't believe I'm here with you guys tonight. Here I am, the first Irish Catholic Vice President in the history of the United States of America. Barack Obama, the first African-American in the history of the United States of America. He's hosting a St. Patrick's day dinner and I'm here with you all [audience laughter]. Go figure. He's with my base, I'm with his.
That elicited groans from the audience of journalists at the
Washington Convention Center. Too close to the truth?
At last year's RTCA dinner, held in June, Obama wondered: "Why bother hanging out with celebrities when I can spend time with the people who made me one?"
Five weeks earlier, at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, Obama observed: "Most of you covered me. All of you voted for me. [pause] Apologies to the Fox table."

100 Greatest TV Shows of All Time
From time-capsule sitcoms to cutting-edge Peak-TV dramas — the definitive ranking of the game-changing small-screen classics
89. 'Homeland'
Claire Danes made a big comeback 15 years after My So-Called Life – as a CIA agent in a Showtime drama about terrorism. With its bonkers plot leaps (she sleeps with the terrorist who killed the vice president and gets promoted!), lots of crying jags and the soothing presence of Mandy Patinkin's beard, Homeland became an unlikely hit.

The Mets have have hired Harold Kaufman to fill their newly created position of executive director of communications.
Kaufman will be responsible for the strategic development and implementation of publicity strategies and tactics to elevate the profile of the organization. He will be the club's primary contact for off-field (business, entertainment, community, and lifestyle) media coverage.
He will work closely with the Mets media relations group — headed by Vice President Jay Horwitz — and the Mets Marketing & Communications department. Kaufman will report directly to David Newman, Senior Vice President, Marketing & Communications.
Lets face it, the Mets have often dropped the ball when it comes to their relations skills with the media, with the fans, and even with their own former and current players.
Whether it was trying to control and muzzle one of their top draws in Matt Harvey, or the way they are perceived by many members of the 1986 team, or the way everything they do always seems like a cheap money grab, and even asking fans to sign an ill-advised loyalty pledge letter, they are their own worst enemies.
On Opening Day, they had the circus in town in their own parking lot causing most of the ticket-buying fans to miss the opening day ceremonies with many not being able to get to their seats until the third inning.
They keep inventing all these new positions intended to help polish their appearance, but still can't seem to get out of their own way.
What the Mets don't get is the fact that the only proven marketing strategy – and one that has time-tested results and success in this town – is winning.
That's all… Just win.
However, winning costs money – money that this team doesn't have.
I told you last year around this time not to believe that the Mets would increase payroll in 2014 and I was right. At just over $82 million the Mets now rank around 25th in the majors and it's their fourth straight year of payroll decline.
The Mets have an ownership group that is responsible for turning a once proud franchise into the ugly stepsister in this town.
Everything they do from the team and park operations to their own cable and blog network is second rate. There is no sense of pride or that they strive for excellence at any level of their businesses. Everything comes off as cheap and second rate.
They thought putting Mr. Met on Twitter and replacing bloggers with their own version of live tweeting games was going to somehow make them cool and part of the in-crowd. They ditched that guy with the annoying voice-over in their promo spots, and replaced him with Branden and Alexa who are now the official pitchmen and very easy on the eyes. But all of it feels like grandma showing us that she could twerk it.
Two months into a new relationship with radio broadcast partner WOR, and there's already trouble in paradise. As pointed out by Howard Megdal this morning, after a radio host read a listener's tweet on the air urging the Mets' owners to sell the team, Mets management was all over it.
Senior vice president for marketing and communications David Newman, who reports directly to Mets C.O.O. Jeff Wilpon, emailed WOR management about it to ask for a recording and expressed concern that the tweet had been read.
Stuff like that.
Paranoia will destroy ya….
The Wilpons have some sort of reverse Midas Touch thing going on, turning anything they get their hands on into…. Well, you get the picture.
Unfortunately my friends, nothing is going to change until they are gone, and that doesn't appear to be happening anytime soon.
You see the franchise value keeps rising faster than all the debt they owe on the team. As long as that continues – and history tells us that it will – banks and lenders will be more than happy to grant the Wilpons loan extensions and refinancing whenever they need it. Just last week it was made very clear that Jeff WIlpon will be the heir apparent to his father.
These are troubling times in the kingdom…
Somebody please pass me the Kleenex….

Android Market Share No Threat to Apple
John Kirk, Tech.pinions
AP Photo
Everyone concedes that Apple's iOS is currently winning the mobile profit battles. However, many pundits still contend that Apple is losing the mobile wars because Apple does not have the most market share. How can this be? In almost every industry in the world it is profits – not market share – that matters and profits – not market share – that matters most. Tiffany's does not care how much costume jewelry their competitor's sell. Nor do we judge the sales of cars, blue jeans, steaks or any other good or service soley by its market share. Companies like Best Buy, Radio Shack and K-Mart stand as stark testaments to the fact that the one with the most stores or the one that sells the most low cost items is seldom the one with the best...

text: Savoie will finish ahead of one of Lysacek or Weir in Turin, but behind the other. I am not sure which will be which. None of them will medal, but Savoie will finish above one of them. His Four Continents performance is a good sign, his 75+ in the short is better than Lysacek could get even with a clean short, and only slightly below what Weir would probably get with a clean short in an international. Hopefully by Turin a clean long will be doable for him.

Crew names?Edit
does anyone have a complete list of the crew names that flashed by on the screen? i saw the episode on cable and saw Swift's name, just wondering how many there were total... -- Captain M.K.B. 23:26, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Off the top of my head, there was Janeway, Swift and Wildman. I think there were two others. - Enzo Aquarius 23:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
When Chakotay "dozed off" on the bridge, shouldn't he have reappeared in the dream cargo hold with the rest of the crew? Instead, he still thinks he's awake on the bridge. This seems like a plot hole to me.
- Why? In a dream he could appear anywhere. --188.8.131.52 14:13, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- Even if it was, nitpicks are usually not noted in articles.--31dot 15

PNA ReasonEdit
Ignorance. That's my reasoning. I'm trying to fix this article as it seems too long to not have "Act" breakouts but I don't know where they occurred in the episode, so my first attempts were only guesses. Also, I feel like the ending is incredibly abrupt but, like I said, I don't know this episode so I can't change it. Oh well...I try.--Obey the Fist!! 20:48, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Sunflowers and cornflowers
Martymower, thanks i've saved the link
Berghill, thanks that makes sense
Verdun, i understand what your saying but i've not been doing this long so i read up, then check again and again. but i still find pruning very daunting. i've got the hang of dead heading though

thanks Rosa. its snowing again, will uncover them tomorrow if i get chance

the 2 on sill have massive shoots. the rest in the veg patch all have little shoots. i've put cloches over them (plastic squash bottles cut in half) to keep snow off, they have disappered in the snow completely covers them.
I have more cloves so i'm going to start them all off inside, i might leave them outide for a bit to get cold then
After 2 weeks away came back to find only 2 shoots remaining - the rest had been eaten.
So (sorry David K) but i've brought them inside and they are all trying to grow again!, keeping them safe on the sill now.

Meaning of colors in your Shamballa Bracelet
Each color in a Shamballa Bracelet has a fascinating and unique meaning. The theory of colors relates to the colors in the Shamballa Bracelet you buy. The color you select promotes the feeling of well-being associated to the emotion or physical condition you wish to develop.Our eyes are the organ we most obviously associate with being sensitive to light, which, we then interpret as seeing different colors. There is research which suggests other parts of the body may be sensitive to different wavelengths of light (meaning different colors), and these areas are called 'Chakra' named after a Sanskrit word meaning 'wheel'; as they are thought to be wheels of good energy. There are believed to be 7 different Chakra each one associated with a color and specific feeling of well-being.

Great, So What Will Win?
Now that Oscar nominations have been announced, let's immediately shift to the new question: which nominees will win?
It's an interesting year in this regard, because most of the "major" nominees for Best Picture have had their moments as frontrunners. In early fall, all the focus was on Precious. That soon gave way to a wave of support for Up in the Air, which in turn gave way to a never-ending slew of critics groups honoring The Hurt Locker. And then Avatar opened and blew everybody out.
Except it didn't — not completely. A few days ago, Kathryn Bigelow pulled a huge upset (over her own ex-husband James Cameron, seriously) and won the Directors Guild Award for The Hurt Locker, which suddenly made the Oscars a race again. Not only was she the first woman to ever win the DGA — but the DGA award and the Best Director award have matched up for all but six times in history. And, in turn, the Best Director and Best Picture Oscars usually match up.
A lot of Oscar predictors have started to look favorably on the possible scenario of Bigelow winning Best Director but Avatar winning Best Picture. At the moment, I'm inclined to agree.
Actor and Actress will go to Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock. Just a few months ago, everybody thought George Clooney and Meryl Streep had locked the category up, but as much as I loved Up in the Air, Jeff Bridges had the all-around more impressive performance. And Bullock…well, The Blind Side is still making millions and millions of dollars, so what can you do.
The two most predictable categories: Supporting Actor and Actress, which will go to Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) and Mo'Nique (Precious). They've won virtually everything so far.
That means that the Adapted Screenplay category will be Up in the Air and Jason Reitman's time to shine. It will face a small-but-vocal faction of In the Loop loyalists, but it should take the award without too much trouble.
Original Screenplay: Quentin Tarantino for Inglourious Basterds. This is the category I'm least confident in at the moment. Widespread support for The Hurt Locker might push that film over the edge, and meanwhile the Coen brothers A Serious Man was popular enough to get a Best Picture nomination and some of the best reviews of the year.
Foreign Film: The White Ribbon. Animated feature: Up. Documentary: probably The Cove. Those are all the definitive frontrunners, although it's worth noting that the Foreign Film category often has surprises.
As for the technical awards, it looks to be a mixture of Avatar (Art Direction, Visual Effects, etc.) and The Hurt Locker (Editing, Sound Editing, etc.).
These predictions aren't "official," just my first inclinations. There's still a month full of conjecture, smear campaigns, surges, and psych-outs to go before we really have to decide. So let it begin.

Enter Shadow Falls: After Dark and meet a vampire named Della, who's about to discover what her own story is meant to be....
Della had the perfect life - the family, a boyfriend, and a bright future - until she was turned, and abandoned by everyone she loves. She takes refuge at Shadow Falls, a camp for teens with paranormal powers. It's where she and her best friends, Kylie and Miranda, heal their heartbreak with laughter, and where Della is training to be a paranormal investigator - and she refuses to be distracted. That means there's no time for romance with Steve, a gorgeous shapeshifter whose kisses melt her heart.
When a new vampire named Chase shows up at camp, Della's world is thrown into even more chaos. Arrogant and annoyingly sexy, Chase is a mystery...and the only mystery Della likes is one she can solve. She can't solve Chase, at least not while she's dealing with ghostly hauntings, vampire gangs and a web of family secrets. Can she prove herself as an investigator and keep her life - and her heart - intact?

"It's good but more along the same lnes"
I would recommend this book you get to see what has happened to the characters and also get background on Della
Della is sassy and you get a real insight into her
Its consistent and she get's the characters
This book follows the same principle as the others. Boy troubles, having to choose between two guys and alot of background guilt.
"Great book!"
This book was great! I really enjoyed it, even though the first series was better!
Again I fell in love with Shadow falls. Love these books. Writing and performance were on key. Although I expected no less.
OH MY GOSH! I loved the original "Shadow Falls" series from Kylie's POV, but I'm loving hearing a different perspective, Della specifically. She was always was perhaps a bit more relatable to me (I'm a little bit sarcastic at times).
Della, obviously. I loved her in Shadow Falls, love her more now.
I'm gonna have to say Kylie or Holiday for this one. Katie is EPIC, but I think she does the nice and gentile characters better.
LAUGH! These series (Shadow Falls AND Shadow Falls: After Dark) are so amazingly written and just what I need from a book I want to fall in love with.
what a great book I love the book can't wait until the next one k
"Good, I liked it"
Same great quality as I would expect. Hats off to author and narrator. Have already downloaded the next.
"If you liked Twilight then you might like this..."
Yes, I would try another book from C.C. Hunter and or Katie Schorr. Katie does a very good job capturing the essence of Della.
The most interesting aspect of the story is that Vampires in this series can have children and the rebirth part but I wouldn't want to give up the good parts.
I would listen to another narration by Katie Schorr.
Not recommending this book if you did not like Twilight. This book is mostly character development as opposed to action.
"A new perspective and delightful listen"
CC Hunter takes her brilliant Shadow Falls series and focuses this time on Della, the vampire. After listening to the others and Katie's excellent narration of them, this followed int he same great path. The character of Della comes shining through and is so consistent with the past stories that it is easy to slip into her tale. She is abrasive and sometimes rude, yet her prickliness doesn't prevent one from liking her. A very enjoyable book!

Full Product Description
How to Get Victory Over Verbal or Emotional Abuse
Abuse - whether through hurtful words, degrading looks, obscene gesture, or threatening behavior - inflicts immense pain and impedes emotional growth.
You didn't think anyone could hurt you like this, but now that you're in or have experienced an abusive relationship, what do you do?
We have all been wounded by hurtful words and actions of others - whether the bully at school, the demeaning boss, a rage-filled driver, or someone in our own family. We often carry those wounds with us for a lifetime.
June Hunt has a message for you: it is possible to stop the pain of abuse.
Learn biblical truths and practical advice on how to:
- Stop the abuse
- Heal the pain of the past
- Foster peace in all your relationships
June Hunt starts this minibook with a definitions section where she explains each word associated with verbal or emotional abuse.
- Forms of emotional abuse
- Warning signs of verbal or emotional abuse
- How to identify sabotage and manipulation
Learn all forms of abuse and what to pay attention to when a relationship gives off warning signs. Also included in the definitions section are biblical examples of verbal and emotional abuse.
This minibook will shed light on the characteristics of verbal and emotional abuse, words used in abusive conversations, methods of sabotage, and examples of what the victims may experience when dealing with an abusive relationship. Discover the causes of a person who abuses others and answer hard questions like, "How can he be so cruel?" and "How can she be so insensitive?"
The last section titled "Steps to Solution" gives you practical advice on how to put an end to verbal and emotional abuse with:
- 7 steps to victory over verbal abuse
- 6 steps to an action plan
- 8 steps for how to confront and cope with emotionally abusive people
- Honesty test for those who may be abusive

Hawks secondary is a primary concern
Group hopes to bounce back Sunday against St. Louis, Bulger
Published 10:00 pm, Friday, September 19, 2008
RENTON -- Disgusting. Inexcusable. Embarrassing. Unacceptable.
Which word best describes the performance of the Seahawks' secondary in last week's overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers?
That would be all of the above, because all of those derogatory labels were used by defensive coordinator John Marshall, strong safety Deon Grant, cornerback Marcus Trufant and free safety Brian Russell in trying to explain how such a highly touted group could turn in such a highly torched effort.
Another thing they all agree with is that it cannot -- and will not -- continue Sunday when the winless Seahawks host the also 0-2 St. Louis Rams at Qwest Field.
But that might be easier said than done, because Rams quarterback Marc Bulger is much more experienced and accomplished than J.T. O'Sullivan, his counterpart with the 49ers who passed for 321 yards last week; and St. Louis' scintillating wideout Torry Holt is far more dangerous than ex-Ram-turned-49er Isaac Bruce, who caught four passes for 153 yards against the Seahawks' seemingly clueless defensive backs.
"Anytime you play Torry you've got to bring your 'A' game, because you know he will," Trufant said. "He's a force to be reckoned with.
"We have to bounce back this week after being embarrassed last week, and to do that we don't have to panic; we don't have to lose our minds. We just have to tweak little things here and tweak little things there."
The game plan against the Rams will be similar to the one that the Seahawks got half right against the 49ers: Pressure the quarterback (they sacked O'Sullivan eight times, and Bulger has gone down 10 times in two games) and be on their coverages, especially against Holt.
"Holt is a great player. I mean, he's a game-breaker," Marshall said.
Look no further than the Rams' only touchdown this season for verification of Marshall's assessment.
It happened last week against the New York Giants, when Holt and rookie cornerback Ken Phillips were battling for a pass in the end zone. Each player tipped the ball. Holt tipped it a second time. The ball rolled off Phillips' back. Holt somehow came up with it, while on his back.
"The great ones are able to keep their focus and finish plays," Marshall said. "That's why he's able to come up with those plays."
It was just the opposite for the Seahawks defensive backs last week. They were on most of their coverages, but could not make plays on the ball when it was in the air.
"Corrections were made and players know what they have to do," said Marshall, declining to elaborate for obvious reasons.
"Guys didn't blow assignments. They were right there, either close and in some cases close enough to make the plays. There's no secret to it."
Or excuses.
"It was ridiculous," Grant said. "We were making mistakes on the most basic stuff. You have to give the 49ers credit, but it was about us on a lot of it."
Penalties also play into the meltdown for a unit that allowed a league-low 15 touchdown passes.
Josh Wilson was called for pass interference in the end zone on a third-and-9 play, giving the 49ers a first-and-goal. Cornerback Kelly Jennings was penalized for pass interference on a second-and-14 play, nullifying Grant's interception in the end zone. Grant was flagged for holding on a second-and-14 play.
Those three plays factored in to the 49ers scoring 13 points in their 3-point win.
"But you've got to overcome those things," Marshall said.
Not surprisingly, it's been a difficult week for the team's defensive backs, and secondary coach Jim Mora has been trying to rally his troops.
"Jim had to ask me everyday if I'm all right, because I was just disgusted seeing what I saw," Grant said.
"The coaching staff we have on defense, the talent we have, the veterans that we have, it was very inexcusable," Grant said.
"We had a chance to shut them down and not let them score when the game was on the line, and we didn't take advantage of it."
The best way for the Seahawks beleaguered defensive backs to make amends is to prevent the Rams from taking advantage of them Sunday.
HAWK TALK: There is a chance just re-signed former first-round draft choice Koren Robinson will not play Sunday, coach Mike Holmgren said, because the wide receiver has a sore knee. Robinson was limited in practice Friday and practiced even less Thursday. ... Left tackle Walter Jones, defensive tackle Rocky Bernard and Jennings practiced and are expected to start against the Rams. ... Right tackle Sean Locklear could play Sunday for the first time since spraining a knee in the preseason, but in what role remains to be seen, Holmgren said. ... Seahawks linebacker Julian Peterson was fined $7,500 by the NFL for his unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the loss to the 49ers.


text: monkeyboy4 0 Posted December 15, 2010 Hi All, Picked up the 07 reg Zetec 1.8 petrol yesterday, its great but have a few questions... 1 - Does it have heated mirrors? The manual says when you turn on the rear window heater switch the heated mirrors kick in, i clicked the rear window heater button gave it a few seconds but the mirrors didnt feel warm to the touch? Is there any other way to find out 'if' they are heated? (sorry if that is a really dull question!!) 2- After having smashed my head on the boot while checking the spare tyre it seems the 'gas hinges' are either seized or knackered? The boot only opens about halfway (you have to give it a good shove to open fully) is it just a case of spraying a load of lubricant on the hinges or is it a known issue? 3 - I have the standard 6000cd head unit, i wa sudner the impressio9n with the zetec you also get an AUX port, i cant seem to find one? That all really, Cheers for any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peace Chimps Known for Intimacy and Tolerance
No, they aren't hippies wearing tie-dye and peace symbols, but bonobo chimps, aka pygmy chimps, could be mistaken for them. They are believed not to engage in violence like their larger cousins do, and researchers have concluded it is because their social culture is so focused on intimate relations.
A researcher who has studied them said there isn't a single documented case of a bonobo killing another bonobo, whether in the wild or captivity. They appear to focus their energy on group cohesion and physical touching, rather than aggression and domination. "Whenever things get tense in the bonobo world, they'll usually have some kind of sociosexual activity and this seems to really help everybody get along. But another one of the ways that they sort of have this peaceful society is they're naturally more tolerant. They share more, and if one of them gets upset, it's not just sex but they can also hug and comfort one another," said anthropologist Brian Hare. (Source: National Science Foundation)
Females in bonobo society are treated more respectfully and they also are well-bonded with one another, two conditions researchers have said that mean males don't have to compete with one another as much. Instead they participate in a similar manner sharing intimacy and partners. Also a male's rank in the social hierarchy may be determined by the rank of his mother, rather than by defeating or intimidating other males. It is thought they use physical intimacy not only of social bonding, but also to reduce stress.
Author Vanessa Woods said, "They're different because they've managed to live in a society virtually without violence. How do they do that? Humans, for all of our intelligence and all our technology, we haven't managed to live without war, and so I think that's something very important that bonobos can teach us." (Source: National Science Foundation)
Tragically, bonobo chimps can be found in the wild only in the Congo, where humans have been at war for years. The human war's impact has put the bonobos in jeopardy, to the point they are an endangered species. There may only be 29,000 to 50,000 left due to habitat loss and hunting for the bush meat trade. Due to the human violence it has been very difficult to study them, so none of the estimates are considered particularly credible.
(The number of human lives lost in the Congo conflicts has been estimated to be 3.9 million since 1998.)

text: First thing, if you haven't already heard, the 2014 NFL Draft is now scheduled to take place in May and not April like in previous years. As things stand now, we have Kenny Britt, Antonio Johnson, Marc Mariani, Mike Otto, Chris Spencer, Rob Turner, and Damian Williams all set to hit free agency in a few weeks. As far as I am concerned, none of them need to be brought back. We can afford to let those 7 guys go which in turn frees up about $7.9M in cap space. The scheduled free agent Titans I feel deserve new contracts are Bernard Pollard, Ropati Pitoitua, and Alterraun Verner. Both Pollard & Pitoitua were brought in on a 1-year "show me what you can do" trial bases, and since have proven they were well worth their contracts. I dont know where re-signing those 3 guys will leave us cap-wise since they're all severely under paid, but if needed we can cut OT David Stewart for a savings of $6.4M, RB Chris Johnson for another $4M in space, DE Kamerion Wimbley for another $2.4M in savings, or QB Ryan Fitzpatrick for an additional $3.25M in savings. That gives us $16M to play with in free agency in all those guys get dumped (March 11th). If we cut the fat and dump useless players we could potentially have $21.95M to re-sign Pollard, Verner, and Pitoitua, among a few other free agents. (Team has about $2.5M in dead money they'll carry into 2014) If the team follows what I laid out above, and I think they could (many fans here already agree on many of those things) heading into the draft we'll need: OT, RB, and QB for sure. Everything else would be up in the air, and with free agency coming before the draft, we may fill some holes there. Anyone pinning for us to draft a defensive lineman in the 1st could turn to free agency, there are a lot of attractive defensive linemen scheduled to be available. So with all that said, where do you want the Titans looking in the 1st round of the draft?

Born at 3 Queen Street, Gloucester in 1890, Gurney sang as a chorister at Gloucester Cathedral, from 1900 to 1906, when he became an articled pupil of Dr Herbert Brewer at the cathedral.

Comments about Ivor Gurney
My Heart Makes Songs On Lonely Roads
My heart makes songs on lonely roads
To comfort me while you're away,
And strives with lovely sounding words
Its crowded tenderness to say.
Glimmering against the forward dark,
Your face I see with pride, with pain
So that one time I did desire
Never to see that face again.
But I am glad that Love has come
To bind me fast and try my worth;
For Love's a powerful Lord and gives
His friends dominion over the earth.

Understanding the general health status of children aged 18 years and below in relation to the HIV epidemic is paramount in South Africa - a country that has both the highest number of adults and children living with HIV/AIDS in the world.
In this cardinal report, research findings from a population-based household survey are presented on the general health status of infants, children, and adolescents in South Africa including morbidity, utilisation of health facilities, immunisation coverage, HIV status and associated risk factors. This compelling study also investigates the exposure of children and adolescents to HIV communication programmes and presents essential data on male circumcision as well as the acceptability of the practice.
This report will play a vital role in assisting policy makers and stakeholders in targeting and prioritising key issues in planning and programming efforts focusing on the broad health issues of South African children. It will also be invaluable to health professionals, the media, researchers and academics.
Contributors to this report were located at various organisations which formed part of the research consortium including the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), Medical Research Council (MRC), Centre for AIDS Development, Research and Evaluation (CADRE), National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD), and UNICEF among others.

In the book American Terroir, Rowan Jacobsen explores how the uniqueness of the region translates in the taste of the food. In one chapter, he explains that the Michoacan, Mexico produces half the world's avocados. Not wasting the avocados that fall to the ground, farmers feed their pigs a diet consisting of 60% avocados. This in turn leads the pigs to produce incredibly rich meat.
Don't have time to fly down to a remote region of Mexico? Lucky for you, Chef David Gilbert is bringing home the richest bacon to us! Inspired by American Terroir, he talked to the owners of local South Texas Heritage Pork about growing a local pig on avocados. After extensive research, the pig's fabulous diet consisted of:
- Local hay
- Local peanuts
- Molasses
- Salt/minerals
- Creamy avocados, almost 5lbs daily for the last 30 days!
STHP owner Mark Escobedo was at a Pearl Farmers Market cooking demonstration this past Saturday. Like a proud daddy he detailed how much the pig loved when the avocados were introduced to its diet and did not like the other food as much afterward.
What: Snout to Tail Family Style Dinner paired with different, locally brewed Jester King Beers
Where: Sustenio at the Eilan Hotel | 17103 La Cantera Parkway, 78256
How: $75 is a small price to pay for a mind-blowing opportunity! 210.598.2950 for reservations
When: Thursday, October 18, 2012, starts at 6:30pm, reception with the farmers
Having attended several of Chef David Gilbert's family style meals before, I can attest to the passion that emanates from each purposefully created dish on the menu. Pair that with five different Texas Hill Country Jester King beers as you sit down and talk with the producers of the pork and beer and you have the recipe for a most amazing foodie evening.
Don't delay as there are only a couple more seats available! Call 210.598.2950 to make your reservations, ASAP!

More iPhone Versus Java Differences
August 15th, 2010 Comments off
In my previous entries, I've discussed a few things that caught me off guard while learning iPhone development. In the last couple of weeks, I've picked up an Android device to dig into that platform a bit and probably will spend less time playing with iPhone development. Before I move too far away from iPhone, I wanted to wrap up the remaining differences I found interesting between the iPhone and Java platforms.

Ph.D. Position: Structure and Dynamics of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
We are looking for a PhD student to join our research group working in the field of molecular biophysics. In your PhD project, you will investigate the structure and dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins. The PhD work will be conducted at Forschungszentrum Jülich. Our institute offers a highly interdisciplinary working environment and in-house access to state-of-the-art neutron scattering instruments. Regular business trips to our collaboration partner Prof. Ben Schuler at University of Zurich are required.
Your job:
The central element of the project will be the combination of neutron scattering methods and single-molecule spectroscopy for the investigation of the structure and dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins. The PhD project is embedded in a cooperation with Prof. Ben Schuler, University of Zurich, Department of Biochemistry. Structural information is obtained by small-angle neutron scattering, motions in proteins are measured by neutron spin-echo spectroscopy. Förster resonance energy transfer and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy will allow gaining information on structural properties and on protein dynamics on the single-molecule level. Neutron scattering will be the main method of the PhD project. Data analysis using computer programs will be an important part of the project.
Your profile:
The ideal candidate should have a Master degree in Physics, Chemistry or Biochemistry with a background in Soft Matter or Molecular Biophysics. Knowledge of scattering techniques is not required but would be a plus. Basic knowledge of molecular biology would be an asset. Experience with computer programming for data analysis (python or similar) is necessary. Good communication skills in English are an important requirement. The applicant should have a cooperative working style and integrate well in a multidisciplinary team.
Our offer:
We offer a doctorate program limited to three years. The position is funded by a PhD scholarship. You will obtain your PhD degree from RWTH Aachen.
The possibility to join the "International Helmholtz Research School of Biophysics and Soft Matter" is given for the successful candidate.
Forschungszentrum Jülich aims to employ more women in this area and therefore particularly welcomes applications from women. We also welcome applications from disabled persons.

What the Gamer Didn't Know: On Qualifying Games, Skills and Contexts.
The presentation will depart from an altered version of the philosophical thought experiment called the "knowledge argument" (originally presented by Frank Jackson) and center the discussion around the activity of gaming. The general question of what gamers learn from digital games will be addressed through the exposition of empirical examples. The materials, primarily taken from on-line collaborative games, exhibit some of the detailed workings of games-in-action – aspects of the very assembly procedures by which the members constitute their activities. In light of these illustrations, claims pertaining to the advancement of general skills will be revisited.

Playing with the Past in the Present and into the Future: How Games Change our Relationship with History
There can now be little doubt that games have become a potentially important popular cultural resource for the production of meaning about, and engagement with, history. Like all forms of historical representation, games introduce particular challenges, limitations and possibilities, each of which has the potential to influence the ways we relate to the past and the histories that are written about it. In this talk, Adam Chapman explores how the past is represented in games, how these games both inform and reflect the present, and how they might change our future engagements with history in popular culture. In particular the lecture considers the enfranchising potential of the popular access to historical practices, such as reenactment, heritage experiences and counterfactual history, that the game form offers. The lecture also concludes by considering the implications of new hardware developments (such as VR) and the latest directions of research in the historical game studies field.

Getting it Right or Being Top Rank: Games in Citizen Science
The use of games with a purpose (GWAPs) in citizen science is growing, but can create tension as gaming and science can be seen as incompatible areas of activity. For example, the motivations for winning a game and scientific pursuit of knowledge may be seen as contrary. Over a one-year period, we conducted a virtual ethnographic study of the public forums of two online citizen science projects, Foldit and Galazy Zoo. The first where gaming is an explicit design feature and the second where it is not. The aim was to give a nuanced view of how participants topicalize and respond to tensions between gaming and science. Thematic analysis of discussion forum posts suggests that participants in the two projects respond differently to the tension. By unpacking participant responses to the tension between games and science, our study highlights that citizen science projects using games are not just about fun. To enrol and retain volunteers, these projects must also recognize and manage the implicit normative scientific ideals that participants bring with them to a project. We further conclude that ideals of science embraced by citizen scientists appear to influence the reasons why they participate, either emphasizing quality, like in Galazy Zoo, or meritocracy, like in Foldit.
During the seminar we will present excerpts of data to discuss the differences between the two projects. We will also discuss the role of GWAPs in for scientific work.

Fingu - A Game to Support Children's Development of Arithmetic Competence: Theory, Design and Empirical Research
This presentation describes Fingu, a virtual manipulative housed in a game environment, which is designed to support young children's learning and development of number concepts and flexible arithmetic competence. More specifically Fingu targets the understanding and mastering of the basic numbers 1-10 as part-whole relations, which according to the literature on early mathematics learning is critical for this development. The presentation, provides an overview of the theoretical grounding of the design, development and research of Fingu as well as the theoretical and practical design rationale and principles. The potential of Fingu as a research platform is pointed out and examples of some of the empirical research conducted to demonstrate the learning potential of Fingu is presented.

EP12: Brennan Dunn on startup launch tactics (part 2)
Learn Brennan's trick for identifying a good market: "find a community, and just keep adding value." Whether that's a forum response, blog post, info-product, or SaaS app, learn how choosing an audience and sticking with them can pay off.
- "Most of my users don't care that [Planscope] is project management software; they care about outcomes." – Brennan Dunn
- "Instead of listing out technical features, which is what [we as developers] want to do, I need to tell a story." – Brennan Dunn
- How did you get people to care? How did you get people to notice your product?
- "My entire marketing strategy is marketing through education. I knew the problems my audience was having, so I started blogging about those problems." – Brennan Dunn
- "People don't buy software just to buy software: they buy software to make their lives better somehow. A blog post is equally able to do that (to make their lives better)." – Brennan Dunn
- What kind of traffic did you get on your blog when you started?
- "I got a few thousand views over the months that I was building Planscope" – Brennan Dunn
- "Blogging allowed me to get out of the code and answer the question: 'Why am I doing this?'" – Brennan Dunn
- How did you build your email list?
- It was a mailing list of 300 people when he launched.
- Brennan built his list over the 4 months that he was building Planscope.
- Most of the sign-ups to his email list came from his blog.
- 1/3 of his mailing list signed up for a trial account (100 people)
- 25% of his trial users converted to paying accounts (25 people)
- Where does growth come from?
- Most of Brennan's customers have come from his blog posts, and his email list
- Another important source of traffic: his book Double Your Freelancing Rate.
- How much money has Brennan earned so far? (as of December)
- Planscope – $29,904 ($6,000 / month)
- Books – $35,00
- Classes – $41,000

Green & Black's (+ Giveaway!!!)
I have long maintained a love affair with chocolate. The darker, the better. If it's caramel-filled, I'm in heaven. If there are dried fruits involved, I'm swooning. I'll take it hot in a mug, snuggled into a s'more, or even just straight up. When it comes to chocolate, I'm often equal opportunity consumer.
Which is why I was so excited when one of my most beloved chocolate purveyors, Green & Black's, contacted me recently. Well known in the UK, but less so here in the States, Green & Black's is attempting to spread the word about what they do and, wisely, looking to bloggers as a means of doing so. I've actually been a huge Green & Black's fan for years and am thrilled to be able to discuss them here with you today.
Not only is the company's chocolate exquisitely tasty, it's also organically grown. As one of the most heavily sprayed crops in the world, it's so pleasing to learn of a business that understands, applauds, and employs organic cacao production methods. Green and Black's chocolate is also certified Fair Trade. This means that the farmers, their families, and all of the individuals involved in growing, harvesting and processing the chocolate are provided a fair, living wage, enabling them to thrive in their personal lives and aid their communities in the process.
While flavor of any food is a large motivation for whether or not I'll choose to eat it, growing methods and labor practices of the companies behind them are just as significant in my decision-making process. Green & Black's hits all the right notes for me, from delicious, to sustainable, to ethical. I promote these practices at home and whenever I write about chocolate, including in the Ingredients section in my new book. The more these methods are employed, the more we collectively benefit.
Owing to all of that, I'm super pumped to offer a giveaway of Green & Black's products today! The company has generously offered 3 (!!!) small measure readers a gift package including their Ultimate Recipe Book and Classic Collection, pictured above. That's some good stuff there, folks!
All you need to do to enter the giveaway is tell me your favorite ways of eating chocolate (or, if you can't choose, one of your favorite!). I mentioned several of mine above, but I'll also add partnered with peanut butter to my roster. What about you?
I'll run the giveaway through next Wednesday, June 27th, ending at midnight EST. PLEASE leave a means of contacting you in your reply, either by linking back to your blog/website (which will need somewhere on there telling me how to contact you), or by leaving your email address with your comment (if you'd like to keep your email private, just make a comment with your name and then send me your email at: ashleyadamsenglish(at)gmail(dot)com).
Even if you don't win, do check out Green & Black's. They're a wonderful company with an even better mission. Now, if you'll pardon me, I've got a bar of Peanut & Sea Salt (I! KNOW!) that needs nibbling….
*Please note the following disclosure, provided by Green & Black's: Kraft Foods is providing the prizes for this program at no cost to me. This program is not administered or sponsored by Kraft Foods or its affiliates, but solely by Small Measure.
Recent Acquisitions
This past winter, Hubs and I set out to get our crafty on. While mine never quite materialized as I'd hoped (turns out I'm not a learn-in-a-group-setting type of knitter; I really just need someone to sit beside me, regularly, and tell me what I'm doing wrong), Hubs' certainly did.
Shown above are several of his creations. Oh, the shapes! The colors! The glazes! I just love these little "pinching bowls" he made, as he calls them. His intention in creating them, it turns out, is for me to use in photos, here on small measure and for other writing I do. He's one of the keepers, this man of mine!
For Father's Day, I purchased him an intermediate ceramics studio lab, beginning mid-July. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next. I'm starting to think there's really nothing he can't do!
What I'm Digging
Happy Friday, friends! Huxley's follow-up visit yesterday revealed that his wound is healing up swimmingly. The doctor said that, in time, it should heal over completely, permitted we keep it out of sunlight for the next 6 months. So, it'll be a summer of hats, sunscreen and bandages for the tiny Englishman!
Here's a smattering of this's and that's that caught my attention this week:
*I love a good shortbread and this one promises to deliver.
*Get high-on dirt!
*Locally grown (from heirloom, non-GMO corn!) & distilled moonshine.
*The 7 habits of highly happy people sound good to me!
*Ten backyard camp out activities for the littles.
*Organic management for 10 common garden pests.
*It's campfire cooking time!
*Canning tricks and tips for doing your jars up nice and proper.
*Alys Fowler epitomizes my particular variety of garden fashion (plus, she knows tons about how best to toil the soil-via Bell and Star).
We've got a fun weekend planned. Our beloved friends Jen, Jon and their daughter Awynn (aka "Sweet P" or just "P") are in town. They bought a yome and are putting it up this weekend down in the smaller of our two lower fields. It's their little "yome away from home", as they live in Atlanta where they both teach art at private schools.
Sunday, for Father's Day, we're making our annual pilgrimage to Mountain Farm's Lavender Festival. I LOVE that event, with its stunning mountain-top and waterfall views, baby goats, lavender-infused foods, and general pervasive fragrant goodness. To all you fathers out there, here's wishing you a wonderful day, filled with love, from your nearest and dearest. Thank you for all you do.
Wherever you go this weekend, whatever you do, and whomever you do it with, may it be grand!
Garden Tour
It's seriously go time in the garden, friends. I recently mentioned that Hubs was whipping up a deck and pergola for us to enjoy out there. And, boy, did he ever! Never one to make something just so-so, or expected, or conventional, he fashioned a pergola to beat them all, full of whimsy and nuance and, well, "him."
We held our first photo shoot for the new book out there. Broke it in, so to speak. It's festooned with lovely hanging flower baskets right now. In time, though, we intend to grow food on it. Grapes, most likely. Muscadines and Scuppernogs (both native to the area), specifically.
I just adore it. Being out there, with a cold, frosty beer on a warm summer evening, or in the morning with a cup of hot coffee in hand and my lap top in front of me as the little guy plays next to me in the sandbox-not much beats it.
In the video below, Hubs himself walks you through a tour of our garden. Enjoy it (and his low, handsome voice; 'twas one of the first things that attracted me to him!)!!!
Pies & Life & Babies
Thank you so much for all of your kind words and assurances over our Wild child. Were it not for the bandages placed front and center on his wee forehead, you'd think nothing had even happened. He's a trooper, that one. We follow up with a facial surgeon on Thursday. Fingers and toes crossed that those bandages, once removed, reveal nothing except a nice, healing wound.
I've got a few posts up other places that I thought you might enjoy reading. You can find me chatting about pie-making and country-living on Verve. There are also two seasonal pie recipes for your pleasure up over at Mrs. Wages.
Hope your Tuesday is going swimmingly!

"Sitting at my Jimmy John's in New Orleans eating a #9. Parade crowd is gone. Nice and quiet. Anyone care to join me?"
That is an official invite to join @drewbrees for a sandwich.
"Say no to cigarettes and drugs!"
That is a Public Service Announcement from @VernonDavis85.
"Swaggin out on this Tyga Careless World: Rise of The Last King. Really nice album! Great features on it"
That is an exclamatory statement of happiness from @KingJames.
The greatest thing to happen to the sporting world since balls is the invention of Twitter. Now that your favorite athlete is on Twitter, the only way you could get closer to them would be the obvious stalking/sifting through their garbage.
Twitter allows for anyone to give an opinion, provide social commentary, or simply tell the world that they just went to the bathroom. When an athlete gets on Twitter it provides them the opportunity to show the world they are a real person.
Athletes like @ochocinco regularly tweet invites to go to dinner with him to places as mundane as IHOP. @TheRealTPlush posts pictures of himself flying a kite. @ArianFoster tweets quotes from some of the greatest minds in history, and actually knows what they mean.
Twitter doesn't only put a face on the player; it provides a soul to the uniform.
And it's not just players getting followed on Twitter. Guys like Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban and Cleveland Cavaliers Owner Dan Gilbert are also highly visible and very active.
"I think Twitter is a great thing for sports," said UWSP Athletic Director Daron Montgomery (@MontogmeryUWSP), who recently became a member of the micro-blogging site. "I'm still trying to figure it out though."
The presence of Twitter among students has exploded and college athletes haven't missed the boat. If you're a #NASCAR enthusiast and a Badger fan you may want to give @BenBrust a follow. If you're looking for someone that inspires thousands of people and deserves our respect and admiration, check out @EricLeGrand52.
But like every good thing, Twitter has its drawbacks. As almost every career counselor will tell you, social media is a powerful thing. People have lost jobs and future prospects because of things they say or post. So the best advice I can give you is tweet with caution.
Rob Ambrose, head football coach at Towson University, has banned his players from using Twitter after one star player tweeted a message containing a racial slur before a game.
Yuri Wright, ESPN's 40th ranked recruit in the nation from Don Bosco High School, has lost out on potential scholarships from Division I schools like Michigan and Colorado following multiple tweets containing racial and anti-Semitic remarks.
"I don't foresee such an event happening here," Montgomery said. "However, if it did I believe the university would be very proactive in addressing it.
When asked if the university has a system in play that trolls the social media sites for posts from athletes that could become potential problems, Montgomery said no. They did, however, have such a program in place while he was the Senior Associate Director of Athletics at the University of Detroit – Mercy.
But as potentially controversial as a tweet can be, the majority of them are completely harmless.
There is no doubt that Twitter is a tremendous tool in our world today. Nowhere is it more apparent than in sports. We all want more reliable insight when it comes to our sports information, so who better to hear it from than the athletes themselves?

A MIDWEEK 3-0 defeat at title chasers Inverurie Locos was rough justice for Keith's best performance of the season, claimed manager Graham McBeath.
The Maroons boss said his team let Locos off the hook by missing good scoring opportunities, but was pleased with the way his players matched a side who are flying high in the Highland League.
Most importantly, McBeath said his men gave him a reaction from a limp second-half display at Inverness on Saturday when they lost 4-2 at Clach.
"I was pleased with the possession we had. We certainly has as much of the ball as Locos had, and it's probably the best stuff we've played.
"I think we had the best chances in the game but didn't take them, and my only disappointment was with the quality of goals we lost."
Defender Bruce Milne struck the Inverurie bar with a free header which he should have scored, McBeath said, while Mike Ewen and Stuart Massie both passed up good opportunities later in the game.
Locos' opener from a long ball flicked on by Martin Bavidge for Neil Gauld to score, was exactly the type of move Keith had been warned about, their manager said.
"The second one might have been a cross by Bavidge which caught out our goalkeeper, Daniel Bell, and ended up in the top corner," he said.
Ross Forsyth added a third for the home side just after the hour to maintain their 100% start to the season, but McBeath saw plenty positives to take from the match.
He was however critical of his team's collapse at Clach on Saturday after a solid first-half showing.
Bruce Milne's 15th minute strike cancelled out an early home opener as Keith went in at the break all square. But two goals in a 10-minute spell in the second half took the game beyond Keith, who netted through Sean Keith after Clach had grabbed a late fourth.
"It was poor stuff from our point of view, especially after playing so well in the first half. So I'm pleased we got a reaction at Locos, even if we didn't get a result."
Next up for the Maroons is a home double-header as they welcome Forres Mechanics on league business this weekend, before hosting Buckie Thistle in the Aberdeenshire Cup on Wednesday.
With summer signing Ewen and defensive pair Milne and Michael Ralton now free of suspension and injury, McBeath has virtually a full squad to pick from.
Striker Craig Cormack should be fit to come back from a groin pull and face Forres on Saturday, leaving 17-year-old prospect Hamish Ritchie as the only injury doubt due to a back strain.
McBeath is also keen to give recent signings Scott Whelan and Gary Kelman more game time, and is urging both players to keep knocking on the door so they can win a place in his starting line-up.
On the threat posed by Saturday's opponents Forres, McBeath said: "They've just had a couple of decent wins against Buckie and Lossie, so fair play to them. We know what we'll get from Forres and they turned us over at Keith at the start of the year.
"Hopefully we can show we've improved since then and can give them a good game.
"We know we'll have to compete in all areas of the park but I think we've got enough quality to keep the ball and cause them problems as well."

The Most Techie Countries In The World
Get ready for acronym vomit: ITU's IDI, or the International Telecommunications Union's ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) Development Index, was just released and it compares developments in information and communication technologies in 154 countries over a five-year period from 2002 to 2007. The top 10 is mostly Northern and Western European countries with the exception of the Republic of Korea smashed in there. We rank No. 17 in a tie with New Zealand overall, but we've got the No. 2 spot in a different category...
The index combines scores on 11 different indicators, such as access to technology, households with a computer, literacy levels and the prices of telecommunication.
The overall top ten is:
- Sweden
- South Korea
- Denmark
- Holland
- Iceland
- Norway
- Luxembourg
- Switzerland
- Finland
- United Kingdom
Like we mentioned before, the US made it into the No. 17 spot on the overall list, but we ranked at a healthy No. 2 position in the chart that measures the affordability of access to information and communication technologies (that means we're almost as cheap as it gets—but not as cheap as Singapore, apparently). It combines the average cost of fixed telephone, mobile cellular and Internet broadband access.
For more detailed information on the entire study, or to witness a gratuitous use of the word 'telephony' (lol), check out the press relase from the International Telecommunications Union.
