Martin entrenched in center despite slow start
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Michael Choice started in center field for the Rangers on Saturday, while Leonys Martin got the day off, at least from the Cactus League.
Martin, who had some back issues last week, still did his work in the batting cages as he tries to get going at the plate after a 2-for-11 start to the spring. He is also 0-for-2 in stolen-base attempts.
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Michael Choice started in center field for the Rangers on Saturday, while Leonys Martin got the day off, at least from the Cactus League.
Martin, who had some back issues last week, still did his work in the batting cages as he tries to get going at the plate after a 2-for-11 start to the spring. He is also 0-for-2 in stolen-base attempts.
"I don't feel good at the plate yet, but it's still early in spring," Martin said. "I feel my focus is there at the plate and I'm working hard on every part of my game."
Martin has still started six of the Rangers' 10 Cactus League games in center field. Choice started for the third time on Saturday, and Engel Beltre, who is sidelined with shin splints, has started there once. The job still belongs to Martin, according to manager Ron Washington.
"No, we don't have a center-field controversy, not at all," Washington said. "Leonys is my center fielder. Choice will play center field."
Choice played mostly center field in the Minor Leagues the past three years with the Athletics. The Rangers acquired him in the off-season and are using him at all three outfield positions. Choice is off to a good start offensively, with six hits in his first 17 at-bats.
"I have never seen him play, but I'm getting a chance to see him play and I'm happy with what I'm seeing," Washington said. "He is asking all the right questions, he wants to fit in and he wants to be a part of this team."
Right now, his best chance to make the team is as the fourth outfielder and right-handed designated hitter. At some point, he could move into an everyday role, but as far as taking Martin's job away in center in Spring Training, Washington isn't planning on that happening.
"My main goal is to help this team anyway I can, whether that's in a reserve or starting role," Choice said. "Like I said before, my goal is to be a cog in the wheel and do what it takes to help us win."
Martin had a promising first full season with the Rangers in 2013, hitting .260 with 66 runs scored, 21 doubles, six triples, eight home runs, 49 RBIs and 36 stolen bases in 147 games. The defensive metrics had him above average in center field, including an ultimate zone rating of 12.0 that was the fifth best in the Majors for his position. Washington said Martin made significant progress in running good routes and with his throwing as the season progressed.
Martin has great speed and one of the best throwing arms in the game, but he is still developing his instincts and learning to throw to the right base. He showed improvement in both areas last year. Washington said Martin still needs work going after balls at the fence and after long runs. He is tentative at the end in both situations.
"But you have to remember he hasn't played a lot of baseball," Washington said. "His instincts haven't totally developed yet."
The Rangers will give him that chance as their center fielder this season. Choice remains the leading candidate to be the fourth outfielder. He is a right-handed hitter on a team that has four big hitters -- Martin, Shin-Soo Choo, Prince Fielder and Mitch Moreland -- hitting from the left side. The only right-handed-hitting outfielder is Alex Rios, who has been a durable player his entire career but has had a couple of nagging injuries this spring.

Rock star/gun rights advocate Ted Nugent is attending Tuesday night's State of the Union address, Rep. Steve Stockman (R) of Texas announced Monday.
Representative Stockman invited Mr. Nugent and gave him a ticket to sit in the gallery overlooking the House chamber. The Texas lawmaker, who recently made headlines by threatening to file articles of impeachment against President Obama over executive actions on gun control, said he was excited to have a "patriot" like the Nuge as his guest.
"After the address I'm sure Ted will have plenty to say," said Stockman.
Yes, yes he will. That's certain. But beyond that we have to ask: Is this a good idea?
After all, Nugent will be sitting in the same room with children from Sandy Hook Elementary and other victims of gun violence. He'll also be sitting in the same room with Mr. Obama. You'll remember that last spring several members of the Secret Service visited Nugent for a chat after he said that if Obama were to be reelected "I will either be dead or in jail." The agents came away convinced that Nugent was a bigger threat to grammar and decorum than to the president, but still.
Advocates of gun control claim to be gleeful about the forthcoming Nugent sighting. They figure he'll be outrageous enough to frighten a large swath of the viewing public. After all, this is a guy who markets his own brand of ammunition, and in the past he has told both Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, in explicit terms, what they should do with his machine guns. He talks about the administration's "communist-Mao-Che" agenda. All of his clothing appears to be camo.
Also, he is a media magnet. Who do you think will draw more cameras post-SOTU: House majority leader Eric Cantor, or the National Rifle Association board member who wrote "Cat Scratch Fever"?
"It definitely adds more coverage. And it's going to play terribly for them," Ladd Everitt, spokesman for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, told Talking Points Memo on Monday.
Liberal pundit Greg Sargent goes further, saying that Nugent's appearance only emphasizes The Crazy, the hard right aspect of the GOP that party leaders such as Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana have complained turns off moderate voters.
"If I were the GOP leadership, the prospect of further comments from Nugent after the speech would have me a bit worried," writes Mr. Sargent.
We'll admit that at times it sounds as if Nugent's verbs are only faintly acquainted with their subjects, and his sentences are delivered with enough force to unfurl a thousand flags. But the left should keep this in mind: The Nuge is a professional performer. Part of his persona is an act. When he wants to, he can dial it down and sound coherent. And he represents a widespread hunting-oriented point of view.
He did a number on gun-control advocate/talk show host Piers Morgan last week, for instance. Invited onto Mr. Morgan's show as part of its continuing gun coverage, Nugent blasted the veteran British journalist, saying, "would you leave us the [expletive] alone!"
"I think you're obsessed with guns," Nugent told Morgan during an interview in a gun shop. "Ninety-nine point nine nine percent of the gun owners of America are wonderful people that you are hanging around with today. Perfectly safe. Perfectly harmless. Wonderful, loving, giving, generous, caring people."
OK, it did sound at one point as if Nugent called Morgan "Pierce," and he talked so fast that Morgan needed a crowbar to get a word in edgewise. But "felony recidivism" rolled off Nuge's tongue like butter. He's more articulate than many think.
Also, he will not be armed Tuesday night. Just in case you were wondering.
"I will go in at least 20 pounds lighter than I normally walk," he told The New York Times on Monday. "I will be going in sans the hardware store on my belt. I live a well-armed life, and I've got to demilitarize before I go."

Lost Exorcist Birth Scene REVEALED!!
Now here's a baby shower cake that'll really turn some heads:
"Get me an old OB-GYN, and a young OB-GYN..." *
Of course, the scariest part is that this isn't supposed to look like Linda Blair from The Exorcist; the baker was just going for a funny baby shower cake. Still, I'm seeing a goldmine of baby-shower-theming potential here!
Think about it: chilled pea soup and deviled egg appetizers? Pin the horns on the demon-child? The Poopy Diaper Game? (Admit it: you knew that thing was evil.)
Frankly, if someone doesn't make this happen, I'm going to be crushed. CRUSHED, I say.
Oh, and, you're welcome, party planners.
Thanks to Karen R. for making my head spin.
*Since I've never actually seen The Exorcist, I don't know for sure if the old priest/young priest line is in there - but I only use the most trusted sources.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
2: Person to Person
Classroom interaction is simple. It is the talk that occurs in classrooms between teachers and students and among students. It's also a very complex thing in that it is the primary medium by which learning occurs in classrooms, and that's any kind of classroom, be it a history classroom or a math classroom or a social studies classroom. The primary means by which learning occurs is through talk, and for that reason alone it is extremely important.
- Joan Kelly Hall, Professor of Applied Linguistics and Education, Pennsylvania State University
Learning GoalsWhat is the importance of classroom interaction? In this session, you'll review relevant research, observe video discussions and classroom examples, and do a culminating activity on the interpersonal mode of communication. At the end of this session, you will better understand how to:

U.S. Court Curbs F.C.C. Authority on Web Traffic/
Yesterday's Federal Court decision is a serious setback for net neutrality and the efforts to maintain equal access to content on the internet. It is a setback for both consumers and creators, and a threat to innovation in general. It also underscores the importance of court appointments. In short, it seriously curbs the FCC's power and its ability to set the agenda for an open and free internet and the hope of media democracy. The NY Times reports:
A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that regulators had limited power over Web traffic under current law. The decision will allow Internet service companies to block or slow specific sites and charge video sites to deliver their content faster to users.
Wondering what you can do? FreePress notes: The FCC needs to "reclassify" broadband under the Communications Act. In 2002, the FCC decided to place broadband providers outside the legal framework that traditionally applied to companies that offer two-way communications services, like phone companies.
That decision is what first put Net Neutrality in jeopardy, setting in motion the legal wrangling that now endangers the FCC's ability to protect our Internet rights.
But the good news is that the FCC still has the power to set things right, and to make sure the free and open Internet stays that way. And once we've done that, the FCC can ensure that Comcast can't interfere with our communications, no matter the platform.
SaveTheInternet has a good overview here that links to a letter you can send to the FCC.
After that, if you haven't already, please join and follow Public Knowledge, Free Press, Electronic Freedom Foundation, and Save The Internet.

War Against the Middle Class
This is the ninth of a series of blogs based on excerpts adapted from the 2nd edition of Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth. I wrote Agenda to spur a national conversation on economic policy issues and options that are otherwise largely ignored. This blog series is intended to contribute to that conversation. —DK
As did most Americans of my generation, I grew up in the post-World War II years believing that America was defined by a strong middle class supported by a durable bipartisan political consensus.
In fact, the American middle class was created in the space of just a few years by New Deal legislation that established Social Security and other safety-net programs, implemented a highly progressive taxation of income and estates, supported unions, and raised the floor on wages to narrow the wealth and income gap between the upper and lower economic classes.
Perhaps because I was living abroad during most of the 1970s and 80s, even into the 1990s, I believed until the mid-1990s that the middle class is a universal American ideal. It was quite a shock when I eventually came to realize that America is governed by an owning class that considers government intervention to maintain an equitable distribution of wealth anti-American, socialist, and a threat to individual liberty and national prosperity.
In the 1970s, an alliance of elite interests began preparing to roll back the measures that created the American middle class and launched a full-scale class war during the 1980s under the banner of the Reagan revolution. Corporate interests provided the money and controlled the real agenda. Religious fundamentalists provided votes in return for lip service to a conservative social agenda opposing abortion, family planning, and gay marriage. Libertarians provided an ideological framework removing constraints to the unlimited concentration of wealth in the name of market freedom. Neo-conservatives provided justification for wars and outsized military expenditures to swell the profits of the defense industry and secure corporate access to the world's resources and markets.
Once in power, the Reagan administration rolled back taxes on the wealthiest Americans, ended robust antitrust enforcement, and launched a stunningly successful campaign to make finance the U.S. economy's dominant and most profitable sector. This process continued seamlessly through subsequent Republican and Democratic administrations.
In 1950, arguably the peak of U.S. global power, manufacturing accounted for 29 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product and financial services for 11 percent. By 2005, manufacturing accounted for only 12 percent of the GDP, and financial services for 20 percent—more than manufacturing, health, and wholesale/retail combined. This weakened unions, put downward pressure on wages, and increased the power of the owning class.
Bigger than Unions, Bigger than Wisconsin
How Americans of all stripes are uniting in opposition to Wisconsin's anti-union bill—and cultivating a movement that reaches far beyond the state border.
In 1999, on the recommendation of Wall Street insiders, Congress "modernized" the country's financial system by repealing Glass-Steagall, a Depression-era law that limited commercial banks to commercial banking activities. In 2004, the established requirement that investment banks maintain a 12-to-1 leverage ratio of debt to equity was repealed, leaving them free to make much greater use of borrowed money.
Between 1980 and 2005, there were some 11,500 bank mergers in the United States, an average of 442 per year. As the banking system consolidated, its focus shifted from providing financial services for productive activity on Main Street, to funding speculation on Wall Street.
Hedge funds, the high rollers that led the speculative frenzy responsible for the 2008 financial collapse, proliferated from a few hundred in the early 1990s to some ten thousand in mid-2007, by which time they had more than $1.8 trillion in financial assets under management.
Wall Street used its political influence and control of the money supply to ensure that its players captured virtually all the benefits of productivity gains in the Main Street economy as interest, dividends, financial service fees, and inflated asset prices.
This effort to achieve an upward redistribution of wealth was so successful that from 1980 to 2005, the highest-earning 1 percent of the U.S. population increased its share of taxable income from 9 percent to 19 percent. Most of that gain came from the bottom 90 percent and went to the top tenth of 1 percent. In 2007, the top 400 U.S. tax returns reported an average annual income of $345 million—compared to an average of $12.7 million for the top 427 returns in 1955, adjusted to 2007 dollars.
As Wall Street exported its modernization plan to the world, the wealth gap widened almost everywhere. In 2005 Forbes magazine counted 691 billionaires in the world. In 2008, only three years later, it counted 1,250 and estimated their combined net worth at $4.4 trillion. According to a United Nations University study, the richest 2 percent of world's people now own 51 percent of all the world's assets. The poorest 50 percent own only 1 percent.
Efforts to fix Wall Street miss an important point. Wall Street, as we know it, is an instrument of class war that poses a mortal threat to the middle class and democracy. For the sake of our most cherished American ideals, it must be dismantled and replaced.

Industry representatives including Nespresso, Audi, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and Tetra Pak have put forward criteria for a global standard for sustainable aluminium production. The standard is part of the IUCN-led Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI), whose aim is to foster responsible environmental, social and governance performance throughout the entire aluminium value chain.
The 70 criteria were proposed by representatives from 14 companies that are part of the initiative and reviewed by delegates from 13 civil society organizations with expertise in issues relevant to the aluminium industry. The criteria are now open for public consultation.
"Bringing together so many different perspectives is an incredibly enriching experience," says Giulia Carbone, Deputy Director of IUCN's Global Business and Biodiversity Programme. "This first proposal clearly shows that despite different opinions, everybody agrees that there is the need to develop a common language to promote and further strengthen sustainability in the aluminium industry. We encourage everyone who has the relevant expertise to comment on the proposed criteria."
The standard will apply to all stages of aluminium production and transformation. Among other things, it will propose thresholds for greenhouse gas emissions for the industry and best practice for treating aluminum residue. It will also address other issues critical to the industry including energy, biodiversity and land management, pollution, resource efficiency, recycling, labour rights, indigenous rights and transparency.
"The ASI provides a full supply chain approach to resolving some of the sustainability issues facing producers and users of aluminium," says Pippa Howard of Fauna & Flora International, co-chair of the standard-setting process. "As part of the non-industry group, Fauna & Flora International supports the development of a standard that commits to the integration of a broad set of issues into the sourcing and production of aluminium."
The ASI is currently supported by 14 companies including aluminium primary producers and transformers (Aleris, Constellium, Hydro, Novelis and Rio Tinto Alcan), convertors (AMAG/Constantia Flexibles, AMCOR Flexibles, Ball Corporation, Rexam and Tetra Pak) and commercial and consumer goods suppliers (AUDI, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and Nespresso). As the coordinating body for the ASI, IUCN is responsible for the design and implementation of the standard-setting process and for ensuring that the process is transparent, inclusive and effective.
"The ASI is a good, neutral platform to discuss concerns and solutions along the aluminium value chain between industry, customers and non-industry stakeholders," says Jostein Soreide of the global supplier of aluminium Hydro and co-chair of the standard-setting process. "Hydro sees this as a natural extension of the work Hydro has laid down over the years to improve our environmental and social performance."
Aluminium is one of the most widely used metals in the packaging, transport, construction and electrical sectors. It is in great demand for its unique qualities such as durability, strength and ability to be recycled forever without loss of quality.
Notes to editors
Interested parties are invited to participate in the consultation process at: http://aluminium-stewardship.org/the-process/get-involved/
The criteria will be open for consultation until 29 March 2014. The Standard Setting Group which brings together the 14 ASI companies and the 13 civil society organizations will develop a new version of the Standard based on the comments received.
Civil society members of the SSG include As You Sow, Cleaner Production Center South Africa, Cleaner Production Center India, Ecofys, EMPA – Materials Science and Technology, Fauna & Flora International, Forest Peoples Programme, IndustriAll, Fundación Para la Promoción de Conocimientos Indigenas/Asociación Indigena Ambiental en Panama, IUCN, Social Accountability International, Transparency International and WWF.

Lightfoot Restaurant
Great food. Great service.
This restaurant was recommended to us and it all expectations. From the cordial welcome at the door to the beautiful China setting on the white table cloth, it was lovely from beginning to end. Megan was our server and she was attentive but not smothering. We all ordered the mahi-mahi which was prepared exquisitely. Our water glasses were never empty and we left extremely pleased.
We had to wait
Not impressed.
Love Lightfoot for a nice lunch. The Fish and chips was crispy and perfect. Bay scallops were a bit over cooked in the pasta dish. The sauce and pasta were delicious. The peach ice cream strawberry sundae was very peachy good.
Excellent in every way. Our server Fred made it even more enjoyable. Hope to return soon.
Great place - go again soon. Excellent food and service as well as ambiance.
Just a special occasion.
Excellent in every way. Very anxious to return.
Thank you Craig...23rd anniversary dinner was perfect!
Used to work here in high school and still come back with my wife many years later. Love the food, the atmosphere, the wine list, and location. Service always top notch as well.
For years, Lightfoot has been a "go-to" restaurant for my friends and I. It doesn't disappoint!
Delightful evening from start to finish and our waitress was the model of decorum and attentiveness.
Great as always - a place that keep coming back to.
Beautiful location! Excellent cuisine. Our server was evidently new and management corrected the error and the server. That's the sign of an excellent restaurant. Enjoy!
Awesome as always! Started out with crab bisque and fried green tomatoes-delicious! Then, everyone's favorite salad and French dip. We will be back next weekend, it was so good!
Incredible meal and superb wait staff/service!!
We went for Father's Day last night. We were promptly and warmly greeted and seated right away. The food was very good. We had the cheese sampler to start. Our son had the kids spaghetti which he loved. I had the shrimp and grits and my husband had the steak salad. Our server seemed a little disappointed that we weren't ordering cocktails or wine but the meal was a nice one and we enjoyed it.
The waitress was awesome. She was very personable, patient and quite accommodating. Will go again.
Great food and service, really enjoyed the filet.
Our service was good yet the kitchen seemed a bit slow during our visit. Usually service is quite timely.
We've been going here several times a year since it opened and have enjoyed our meals. This last visit was a bit off with new staff and training that could have been a bit more attentive and would should have been alert when food was have left on the plate; no one came back to check on the food until it was time to clear the table.
Lovely, as always!
The salad with fried oysters was huge as well as delicious.
1 star. They did not have our reservation and told us we would have to wait. When we offered to go to the bar to the hostess she said we could be that she would not come find us (it was not crowded and the bar was ten feet away and small). We ask to speak with the manage and she brings him over and we are seated immediately. The place is maybe over half full. Our server takes forever bringing us things and is irritated the whole time. Got a water refill maybe once. Food took over an hour to come out after ordering. Got seated at 8:15 for an 8 reservations and got our soup at 9:00 and our dishes almost at 10. My duck was almost cold rare as was his filet. We decided we had spent too much time wasted here and ate without complaining and left. What a terrible experience.
Great service , good food, nice setting.
Service was incredibly slow and waiter was not attentive at all. After waiting an hour and a half for our entrees, we asked what was taking so long, he said he would talk to the manager. No apology, no manager, no comped dessert or an offer of a glass of wine - nothing.
Will not recommend nor be returning.
Lightfoot was great. OpenTable, not so great. The reservation was not received by the restaurant. They told me they were having trouble all day receiving bookings through Open Table. Fortunately the restaurant was able to seat me. Take care of your restaurant partners if you want diners to use your service.
Our mother, daughter, granddaughter dinner was a wonderful event. Highly recommended by a Purceville native who now lives in New York City, I was eager to try what really is a gem.
The chef won my granddaughter's heart with the cotton candy twist added to the passing desserts. Our dinners were more than a scrumptious surprise! Loved and appreciated the "tag teamed" service of the wait staff.
Looking forward to my next Leesburg trip and dining at the Lightfoot again.
Mrs E B Holmes
Great time! Excellent food, service, and value.
Love Lightfoot! They always provide an incredible experience and we appreciate the chef allowing substitutions so my kids can get their favorite Mac and cheese as a side. Food and desserts never disappoint here.
Food was good but it took almost 1 hour from the time we ordered until we received our food. While we watched new tables arrive and receive their food. Someone clearly messed up but management did not react fast enough or offer any form of regrets.
Food was good. Kitchen was unacceptably slow. More than an hour to get our entrees. Server didn't do anything other than leave us sitting there. Unfortunate because the food was really good. Not worth waiting that long though.
Service was great, but there were obvious kitchen issues that I'll drum up to short staffing from the holiday but no one at our table had their meal prepared correctly. Management was aware and rectified the issue by comping an entree and dessert so kudos is deserved their. I'll attribute this to a one off bc of the holiday
Great food and atmosphere. One of our favorite places in Leesburg.
Dinner and drinks were good, but the desserts were not. The key lime pie tasted freezer burnt and the whipped cream was closer to butter (over-whipped and not sweet). We used to love lightfoot, so we were a bit disappointed after having not come in for a while.
Had a fabulous brunch with girlfriends...and our server Dominique was outstanding! Highly recommend requesting his service.
This was our wedding anniversary. We were placed at a 2 person table next to a support post in the main flow of traffic. We were also very close to a large round table with a group of loud patrons. It was difficult to carry on a conversation and we had serving staff constantly bumping my wife's chair due to the tight squeeze. The food was good but delivery of the food was very slow. We were served after others that were seated after us. In my opinion Lightfoot has changed from a fine dining experience when it first opened to a more casual dining experience due to the lax dress code (patrons in shorts and t-shirts) but at a high price point.
I truly enjoyed this dinner with friends at Lightfoot. A friend accompanying me chose the restaurant and my meal was spectacular. One of the best shrimp and grits entrees I have ever had, and ham biscuit and crab dip appetizers.
It's been a few years since we dined at Lightfoot. The food is very good and the choices are many. Its a very good value, also. Parking can be hit and miss depending on when you go there as you have to choose between street parking or a few spaces behind the restaurant. It was an excellent experience.

Broadcaster's jailed son accused of hitting inmate
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) A criminal complaint against the jailed son of a Boston Red Sox broadcaster says he threw hot coffee in a fellow inmate's face, hit him with a plastic chair and punched him.
Jared Remy is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to fatally stabbing his girlfriend last year. The son of broadcaster Jerry Remy now faces assault charges in the April 3 incident at the Middlesex County jail.
The complaint released Tuesday in Cambridge District Court also alleges Jared Remy planned the attack on the man he believed is a child molester, and called him a homophobic slur.
The man said he didn't know Remy and they hadn't quarreled. He was treated for minor injuries.
Remy's attorney Edward Ryan said he will plead not guilty. Ryan said he is investigating the circumstances.

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
South Korea began a five-day naval exercise Thursday near its disputed maritime border with North Korea in spite of the North's warnings of retaliation.
With 4,500 service members from all four branches of the military, this drill reportedly represents the nation's largest antisubmarine training exercise ever. It is unusual for South Korea to independently conduct exercises of this scope without the involvement of the United States military.
The maneuvers are taking place off the peninsula's west coast where the South Korean warship the Cheonan was sunk in March, killing 46 sailors. A five-nation investigative team concluded in May that a torpedo fired from a North Korean submarine was responsible for the disaster, but so far the North has denied any involvement and refuses to apologize.
With tensions between the North and South steadily rising, the naval exercises represent a show of force that the South hopes will deter any military incursions from the North. The message appears to have resonated with the North, which called the training maneuvers a "direct military invasion" that infringed on the Communist nation's "right to self-defense," reports the BBC.
Coming less than two weeks after the South's Navy and Air Force conducted joint training exercises with the US off the peninsula's east coast, South Korean officials say that the current training exercise is purely defensive. They have dismissed threats from the North, which has warned of "powerful physical retaliation," reports China's state-run Xinhua news agency.
"The focus of the exercises is to strengthen our response to the enemy's asymmetric provocations and also our joint operations capabilities," an official from the South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff told the Yonhap news agency. "We will not tolerate any kind of provocations by the enemy, and the drills will allow us to be fully prepared for combat."
The drills will take place near the Northern Limit Line that acts as the maritime border for the North and the South. It was established by the United Nations after the Korean War ended in 1953, but Pyongyang has refused to accept it, arguing that the line was drawn too far north, reports Russia's RTT News.
Although the military will conduct live fire drills over the course of the next five days, military officials have stressed that all guns will be fired south, away from the Northern Limit Line.
"The drills will be staged within our areas of operation in the West Sea. They will be staged on the ground, at sea and in the air," said Rear Adm. Kim Kyung-sik, the JCS's chief of operations, in an article in Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper.
Meanwhile, China has expressed concern over the mounting tension on the Korean Peninsula, urging both sides to find a peaceful solution. With the current drills taking place so close to China in the Yellow Sea, the developing world superpower has expressed discomfort with the drills. China's military announced that it will also be conducting five days of defensive naval training that it says are unrelated, but analysts say there is a connection.
"China says the two are not related, but of course they are," Lee Jong-min, dean of the Graduate School of International Studies at Yonsei University, told The Christian Science Monitor. "They are asserting their military powers," he adds.
China remains essential to containing the North Korean threat, say security analysts, and its support for new US sanctions on North Korea is "critical" to their efficacy, US special adviser for nonproliferation Robert Einhorn said Monday.

The Killers are planning another hiatus, according to MSN. View an excerpt below
The drummer tells The Hollywood Reporter that The Killers' MTV EMAs gig this weekend will be their last for a while, adding it will be "a little while" before they regroup.
He says, "I don't think it will take an unnaturally long time for us to get guys together, but it's time to take a breather and ground out a little bit… I think everybody is looking forward to putting their feet up for a little while and having some normalcy."
Frontman Brandon Flowers has already revealed that he's planning to make another solo album and Vannucci is hoping to record a follow-up to his 2011 album "Big Talk," adding, "I think I want to make another record. I'm already starting it. I like to keep moving. I love that notion of momentum. I think some of the guys are just going to chill out, keep writing probably, make sure to get some rest."

NEW YORK -- A doctor once lauded for her AIDS treatment work is blaming one of her dozen or so personalities for a prescription painkillers scheme that defrauded Medicaid out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Diana Williamson was supposed to be sentenced on Monday, but U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska delayed a final determination until prison authorities say whether they can treat a variety of illnesses her lawyer says would certainly lead to her death behind bars.
The government has recommended Williamson, 56, go to prison for 11 years or more, but defense lawyer Jonathan Marks says any prison time would be a death sentence because Williamson has several severe medical issues that can't be treated in prison and require occasional emergency trips to a hospital.
Marks told the judge that his client deserved unusual leniency because she didn't know she was carrying out crimes. He said the crimes were carried out by Nala, one of her multiple personalities. He said Nala was "mischievous, irresponsible, reckless and, as we have just discovered, criminal."
The judge seemed skeptical of the multiple personality argument.
"I guess I'm having trouble understanding that with the defendant's remarkable medical career, having founded an AIDS hospital ... it doesn't seem to have impaired her ability to function as a medical professional," the judge said.
She delayed sentencing after a prosecutor acknowledged Williamson's severe medical issues and said a Bureau of Prisons official would have to say whether the prisons could handle her issues.
The government says Williamson defrauded Medicaid out of about $300,000, part of roughly $1 million that a wider conspiracy managed to scam from the program. Prosecutors say Williamson wrote phony prescriptions for about 11,000 painkiller pills that were bought with Medicaid benefits and then peddled on the street.
Authorities said the ring mostly dealt in oxycodone, a highly addictive pain medication often sold on the black market for $20 to $40 per pill as a substitute for heroin and other illegal drugs.
Two decades ago, Williamson, of Harlem, made a business magazine's list of young professionals on the rise.
Williamson, who has pleaded guilty in the case, declined to speak in court on Monday. In a letter to the judge, she blamed Nala, saying she "committed these crimes without telling Diana or the other parts of me about them."
"Perhaps it sounds incredible that a part of me could be doing something that the rest of me would not know about," Williamson said. "But everything about dissociative disorder is difficult to fathom for those who do not have it."

Cheap yet good Knife from BG
Sharp Tactical Folding Pocket Knife
Budgetgadgets is a fairly new company that takes operates in the free delivery market.
The item that I will be reviewing today is a knife, folding release, of reasonable size. When closed it measures approx. 5 inches, when opened it is about 8. The knife is completely made out of stainless metal, and the actual blade is coated in a black substance, for a sleek look. There is a very narrow slice of uncoated metal, which is the actual edge of the blade. The coating has the same colour as the handle. The blade has a proper thickness, and is rigid.
Now for the actual review.
I will judge the blade on several fronts: Construction quality, appearance, ease of handling and cutting abilities.
Construction quality
As soon as you get a hold of this knife it feels very sturdy, and has a nice complete finished look. The coating on the blade is nice and even without imperfections. Opening the knife is very smooth, and the locking system works very well. All is operated by one hand easily. Only downside is that is isn?t locked when closed. This doesn?t bother me though; as I keep it in the pouch that it came with when not in use. There is no wiggle room between the blade and the handle.
It?s a matter of taste, but as far as I?m concerned it looks great. The knife is entirely made out of good materials, which make it look valuable. The unpainted metal parts are partially brushed, and the black handle had a nice textured surface which looks sturdy.
Ease of use
As I said before, the knife is easily operated with one hand. Considering the handle of the blade is slightly larger than usual, this knife is operated by larger hands than average ones easily. It?s also able to transfer more force to the blade by having a larger handle.
Cutting abilities
This is what it?s al about in the end, how well does it cut. A test with a piece of paper works flawless, the knife just glides right through without ripping the paper, and leaves a very clean cut. Plastic is cut with ease to, all on factory sharpness.
Cutting fruits is somewhat harder, considering the increasing thickness of the blade, meat on the other hand is very easy to cut.
Overall score
A knife that offers outstanding value for a small price. For only 7,64$ including shipping this knife comes to your home.
Grade: 9,5/10
How can you actually tell a good knife from a bad knife? the quality etc?

Capstone students joined forces with inmates to expand and plant a garden at Oregon's only women's prison. Pictured from left to right: Erika Nebel, Renee Harris, and Crystal Kelly.
"Don't laugh, but this is how I do it," says Mimi Sams, sitting at the end of an unplanted row as one might sit at the head of a table. She removes one of several dozen dried beans from a small rectangular basket and, with an index finger, pushes it about an inch and a half into the soil. She looks up to find five sets of eyes greeting hers in approval.
There are a few giggles in response to Sams' demonstration; one of these belongs to Lana Hecocta, who, like Sams, is an inmate here at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility (CCCF), Oregon's only women's prison.
Hecocta and Sams are two of eight full-time inmate gardeners at CCCF. Today, they're joined by six Portland State students in the Women's Prison Gardens capstone course. The capstone focuses primarily on social justice, corrections, and the impact of incarceration on families and communities, and allows students to work side-by-side with the inmate gardeners.
"We learn women's stories and break down the barriers of 'us' and 'them.' We realize that voters and citizens need to take responsibility for making change, because women behind bars are often stripped of their voice. Meeting the women was enough to change my perspective about what a 'criminal' is—and I think that if everyone was able to get involved with projects like this, our prison system would look a lot different," says Zanny Mohrmann, a senior history major taking the capstone.
The garden sits between two outbuildings within the minimum security section of the prison, and is bordered on its far side by a high fence topped with a twirl of razor wire.
Portland Community College began this garden as an organic horticulture project when the prison opened in 2001. The project lost funding in 2001, and ran only minimally until being revived by a group of volunteers in 2009. That group included Debbie Rutt, who was a volunteer yoga instructor at CCCF before learning about the struggling garden and subsequently deciding to get involved.

Sams, Deanne Spencer, and Lana Hecocta planting
a new crop of beans.
Last year, Rutt was awarded an Audubon/Toyota Together Green Fellowship, which—in conjunction with a three-year Kaiser Permanente grant awarded to Coffee Creek and the Oregon State Health Department—provided funding to expand the garden as well as garden-related educational programs and training for CCCF inmates. Rutt now serves as the full-time Garden Coordinator, and during these past winter months she has worked with students and inmates to prepare more than a half acre of garden space.
The capstone students had to submit to background checks before they were allowed inside the prison, and were given explicit instructions about what to wear (comfortable, modest clothing) and what to avoid (denim, blue or lime green shirts, and underwire bras, which will set off the prison's metal detectors). But for students hoping to land jobs in corrections and social work, these restrictions are a small price to pay for such a matchless experience.
Zanny Mohrmann, Crystal Kelly, Matthew Ellis, and Matthew Kilby gardening inside the prison walls.
"Job and volunteer options [in this field] seem really limited," Mohrmann explains.
In addition to working a few hours in the garden, the capstone students form groups to develop sustainability-related curriculum for future inmate classes at Coffee Creek. This fall, one group of students compiled information about the importance of water conservation, and another looked at various ways that parents can encourage their children to eat vegetables. Rutt says the work they're doing helps both students and gardeners think about their responsibility to the community.
"For sustainability to be a reality," Rutt says, "everyone has to be engaged in it. It has to be accessible."

However, you can choose to have the animation look as if the menu is moving away horizontally or vertically. Several factors, including the number of submenu items and the objects on the page can help to determine which orientation is preferred.

Manouchehr Mottaki (Persian: منوچهر متکی ; born 12 May 1953) is an Iranian politican and diplomat. He was the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs. Whilst technically appointed by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he is considered to be closer to more pragmatic conservative factions and during the 2005 presidential election, he was the campaign manager of Ali Larijani, the Muslim conservative candidate.
Mottaki was born in Bandar-e-gaz County and went to school there. Bandar-Gaz was considered an important city in the north with a national railroad and several infrastructures during the Reza Shah Pahlavi regime due to its position as a transit bridge to the north mainly to the former Soviet Union. After graduation, he joined the army and as national plan joined the public education program by that day which was conducted by the government. He went to Khorasan province and established a school in a poor village around Mashhad and taught there. After his service in the army, since he was interested in social and political issues, he decided to travel abroad both for experience and study. By that time many Iranians traveled to India, which was seen as a popular academic destination. So he traveled there for a few years before the Iranian Revolution.
Mottaki holds a master's degree in international relations from the University of Tehran and a bachelor's degree from Bangalore University in India.

text: One of the things I loved most about my trip to Amsterdam a few years back was the amazing variety of design and concept stores around town. It was really hard not to stop and peek in to see what each had to offer. It was a shopping paradise for the design aficionados. Actually, a new gem was recently added to this marketplace. The brand Yaya recently opened their flagship store in the Dutch capital and from what I can see in these pictures it's to die for. Designed by Dutch stylist and interior designer AnoukB, the decor has an eclectic/industrial look to it that gives the shop a casual flair that's rather delightful. Hmm, I've always wanted a reason to go back to Amsterdam, and this might be it. Wouldn't you agree?

Silver Bullet Cocktail
1/2 Gin. (1 oz Beefeater 24 Gin)
1/4 Lemon Juice. (1/2 oz Lemon Juice)
1/4 Kummel. (1/2 oz Kaiser Kummel)
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
Mrs. Flannestad was pretty amazed by the Kummel bottle. She was like, "Nazi Penguin Caraway Liqueur!? Where did you get this?" In fact, just BevMo, no special mail ordering necessary, not even expensive. And, for the record, I believe the "Kaiser" reference is more in line with World War I, than WWII.
Unfortunately, none of that trivia saves this cocktail from just not being very good. Before I purchased the Kummel, I would combine Aquavit with simple syrup, and I have to say, I greatly preferred any cocktail I made like that to any I've ever made with Kummel. I believe going forward, that shall have to be my path.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Back in the Day
Today Chicago's Ed Koop is 70. As a high school senior, he special-ordered a black '61 Biscayne Fleetmaster, 348, four-speed, two-door sedan. His Mom was listed as the legal owner, as Koop was just 17. From day one, he raced his 350hp monster in B/Super Stock at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, Wisconsin, as well as on the street.
With headers and Atlas Bucron soft tires, it was undefeated. At year's end, it would be only one of 138 V-8, Series 1411 Fleetmasters sold. It was a four-speed, 4.56:1 screamer running in the 13s. Koop called his '61 "Runaway" and lettered it as such.
In August, 1961, 18-year-old Koop enlisted for a three-year tour in the Army. He didn't tell his parents until two days before reporting. Three years later, he was one of the best paratroopers in the 101st Airborne. But civilian life and his '61 were beckoning.
Next, employment came at Nickey Chevrolet's parts department. But he and others had to work rotating shifts—where work hour scheduling changed every six weeks. In late 1964, Koop uncovered within Nickey's crate engine storage something no one else wanted: a '61 360hp 409 engine, less carburetor. Sold!
With headers, the 409 propelled his '61 to mid/low 12s at 106-108 mph. Nickey's rotating work hours began to take a toll. So did a broken axle at Union Grove. His pal, Bob Rasmussen, had to tow Koop and his '61 all the way back to Chicago with a rope. For the record, Rasmussen went on to own the famous "Chevy Shop" in Chi-town. The guys who crewed the '61 were Jimmy Winjie and Jimmy Sommerman. Koop also owes a lot to one of his best friends, local legend Philly Nicholas. Philly had the fastest '63 409 in Chicago when new. It was called "Ragamuffin".
Over the last 48 years, Koop went on to own other superb cars, including a low-mileage '57 Nomad, which he still has. He is best remembered because he never sold his '61 Biscayne. It's mint and all there except for interior door and rear panels. Koop even has his '61's original sales documents.
His father was one of Chicago's finest, so Koop ultimately followed in Chicago law enforcement with a three decade career for which he received over 100 commendations. It takes a Chevy guy, eh?

LONDON, April 21 (UPI) -- A British brewery says it has created the world's first beer laced with aphrodisiacs in honor of the upcoming royal wedding.
The Brewdog brewery in Fraserburgh says on its Web site its Royal Virility Performance contains "herbal viagra, chocolate, Goat Weed and 'a healthy dose of sarcasm.'"
The brewery says it is producing 1,000 bottles of the beer, which bear labels reading "Arise Prince Willy" and "Celebrate Big Willy Style," with several sent to Prince William as gifts for the night of his April 29 wedding to Kate Middleton.
Brewdog says the India Pale Ale contains 7.5 percent alcohol by volume.
"With this beer we want to take the wheels off the royal wedding bandwagon being jumped on by dozens of breweries," Brewdog says. "The Royal Virility Performance is the perfect antidote to all the hype. A beer should be brewed with a purpose, not just because some toffs are getting married, so we created something at our brewery that will undermine those special edition beers and other assorted seaside tat, whilst at the same time actually give the happy couple something extra on their big day."
Herbal viagra is a name taken from the prescription drug Viagra that some give to herbal products advertised as treating erectile dysfunction, the online encyclopedia Wikipedia says.
The Mayo Clinic Web site advises people to be wary of any product claiming to be a natural form of Viagra, noting herbal supplements aren't required to undergo testing that prescription and over-the-counter medications are.

New Bern firefighters were praised last Tuesday by the New Bern Board of Aldermen for their volunteer efforts throughout the past decade with the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
New Bern firefighters were praised last Tuesday by the New Bern Board of Aldermen for their volunteer efforts throughout the past decade with the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Mayor Lee Bettis proclaimed June Firefighter/MDA month in New Bern and called on citizens to support the city�s firefighters.
For the past 13 years, the New Bern Fire Department has assisted the MDA Foundation and, in the past 11 years, has raised $85,850 with its Fill-The-Boot campaign.
Christine Bender, district director of MDA, said the firefighters not only raise money for muscular dystrophy, but also volunteer at summer camps and take on the role of youth counselors.
�They are fully committed to us,� she said.
New Bern�s Police Department also was recently recognized on a state level.
Police Chief Toussaint Summers told aldermen his department was awarded an accreditation certificate March 23 at the conference of Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.
The New Bern Police Department has been accredited for the past 10 years. The accreditation is like an audit to make sure the department follows the proper law enforcement procedures, Summers said.
For three days in December, two assessors came to New Bern to evaluate the police department. They interviewed 50 police officers and people in the community. The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies reviewed the assessors� evaluation in March.
Mary Trude, accreditation manager for New Bern Police Department, said the commission commended the New Bern Police Department and held it in high regard.
Alderman Victor Taylor congratulated Summers, his staff and the team the city�s and community�s team effort working with the police department.
The New Bern Police Department was one of 54 out of about 400 or more law enforcement agencies accredited this year in the state, Summers said.
Alderman Bernard White was impressed.
�That�s something to brag about,� he said. �You go to other counties and you don�t see that.�

A tense hostage situation involving a 5-year-old autistic boy and a menacing survivalist in rural Alabama is now stretching into its fifth day, as authorities continue to communicate with Jimmy Dykes through a pipe that extends into a dark, tight underground bunker.
But while authorities have remained largely mum, some in Midland City, Ala., who know Mr. Dykes are speculating that the former truck driver's brazen attack on a school bus, which ended with a school bus driver dead, and the subsequent kidnapping of a boy identified as Ethan, may be an anti-government act, sparked by a court case against him.
"I believe he wants to rant and rave about politics and government," neighbor Michael Creel told the Associated Press. "He's very concerned about his property. He doesn't want his stuff messed with."
The morphing of the burgeoning survivalist movement with government defiance certainly isn't widespread. But some experts, as well as the US Department of Homeland Security, have speculated that, for some, survivalism as an ideology can spill over into anti-government zealotry and raise the specter of domestic terrorism.
Dykes had been preparing for some kind of action as he built his bunker and often patrolled his property with a rifle deep into the night. He had told neighbors the sunken bunker was intended as a tornado shelter.
RECOMMENDED: Gun laws: How much do you know?
The ordeal in Midland City, Alabama, began Tuesday afternoon when police say Dykes stormed a rural school bus, demanding two young boys. Dykes killed a bus driver trying to protect the children, and then made off with a boy named Ethan, scurrying him into the bunker behind his house.
Police have maintained contact through a PVC pipe, and have been able to get Ethan medicine as well as coloring books. Police confirmed Dykes' identity on Friday.
The survivalist movement has gained steam in recent years as many Americans fear economic or political apocalypse, a trend now accompanied by TV shows like "Doomsday Preppers" about people who build bunkers and stash food in preparation for disaster.
While on the whole peaceful, and in many ways understandable, the movement has also contributed to a simmering paranoia that has subsumed some adherents.
"How do you know if you are preparing to survive and overcome realistic scenario or just obsessing with doom and gloom, maybe even focusing on very unlikely or even impossible scenarios while ignoring much more realistic and more probable events? It's a thin line. People have obsessed and ended up losing not only their time and money, but also their families because of this," blogger FerFAL wrote on The Modern Survivalist blog last year.
Survivalism has been tied to violence recently. Nancy Lanza, the slain mother of Newtown, Conn., school shooter Adam Lanza, was known to friends as a survivalist who had stocked up on firearms and food in anticipation of a social and economic meltdown. Last year, a survivalist in Washington State, Peter Keller, killed his wife and daughter before holing up in a multi-storied wilderness bunker, where he was eventually found dead by police.
Known as "Mean Man" to some of his neighbors, Dykes' behavior had long raised concerns. The underground hostage standoff may have been sparked by a scheduled court hearing for an incident in December where Dykes fired shots at neighbors after a yelling match where he claimed the neighbors' truck damaged a speed bump along the dirt road where he lives. Dykes was charged by police with menacing, a misdemeanor.
"People who live near Mr. Dykes consider him a neighbor from hell," writes blogger Jim Fisher, on the True Crime blog. "Paranoid, combative, and violent, Dykes, pursuant to a variety of neighborhood disputes and feuds, has threatened to shoot people. He has been seen patrolling his property at night with a flashlight and a shotgun. … If convicted of the misdemeanor, the judge could sentence the loner and survivalist up to six months in jail."
But police have also speculated that Dykes' motivations run deeper.
"His friends and his neighbors stated that he did not trust the government, that he was a Vietnam vet, and that he had PTSD," Dale County investigator Tim Byrd told the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch blog. "He was standoffish, didn't socialize or have any contact with anybody. He was a survivalist type."
On the other hand, media coverage of Dykes as a "loner" and "survivalist" may itself be part of a broader conspiracy intended to justify gun confiscation for certain kinds of people, worries the Infowars.com website, which is run by Alex Jones.
"Will anyone who wants to install a bunker in their backyard, or wants to buy storable food be labeled suspect for such activities because of this one psycho's antics?" one Infowars blog posted this week noted. "You betcha."
Responding to the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch blog, commenter Cindy Bidwell Glaze also raised concerns about tying the acts of a single person to a broad, decentralized movement.
"His contacts with the law have been individual contacts of a violent person, not the kind that connect a person to a movement or terrorist organization," she writes. "How does this connect to a national audience? There are people out there who are unusual and violent in every community. There is, to the best of my knowledge no organization that binds them."
RECOMMENDED: Gun laws: How much do you know?

I've let a couple of anniversaries slip by without mentioning them, but they are momentous, and deserve note.
First, it's been five years now since I downloaded an Ubuntu ISO, and tried it out. That was in November 2005, and a lot changed because of that.
But more recently, and perhaps more importantly, I split away from Windows for good on New Year's Day 2006. So it's been five full years since I stopped using proprietary software altogether.
Seems like a long time.
Now when I originally wrote this post, this is the part where I got all smarmy and talked about how life changed and how I became a better person and blah, blah, blah. 🙄
I'll spare you that. Suffice to say, things shifted considerably when I discovered Linux. My computing habits, my computer buying habits, my perspective on computer culture … all those things changed.
For the better, I hope. I also hope Linux does for you what it has done for me — opened my eyes and put money in my pocket. It's not impossible.
Here's to five more years!

The sounds of pins clattering to the wooden floors of a Southside bowling alley will soon be heard for the first time in several years.
Strikehouse Bowl, owned by Robert Dutcher, will hold its grand opening on Friday. The new business is located on Whiskey Road on the corner of Dougherty Road in the same building where Aiken Bowl was once located.
Dutcher, who was at the bowling alley Friday doing some more work, said he's excited to see it all come together. Currently, the building is in a state of "organized chaos" as Dutcher and his crew make a few last minute touches, but the fruits of their labor will be enjoyed by the public starting Friday evening.
Quite a few renovations have been done to the bowling alley. Flat screen televisions hang over the sleek new bowling lanes, new scoring equipment has been installed and new flooring are just a few of the things that have been done to improve the facility.
The bar will have red quartz counters with red-shaded overhead lights and the bottom portion is lined with corrugated metal.
"It's been a lot of hard work," Dutcher said. "I hope that it's (feedback) going to be good. I tried to keep it as nostalgic as possible."
Dutcher hopes the business will attract people of all ages and said it will have a family-friendly atmosphere.
Dutcher, originally from Reno, Nev., is an enthusiast of the sport and has wanted to open a bowling business for years. His father, Barry Dutcher, was also an avid bowler and worked as a back-end mechanic.
Dutcher wanted to open a bowling alley with his father, but he passed away before they could accomplish that goal together. About seven years ago, he moved to Aiken, and decided last year to purchase the old bowling alley.
The bowling alley was built in 1953 by Tommy Crouch to offer SRS employees some entertainment. The bowling alley became a favorite hang-out spot for many Aikenites.
The business was later owned by Crouch's son, Billy. In 2009, the bowling alley was closed after Billy Crouch passed away.
Strikehouse Bowl will open Friday at 5:30 p.m. Free pizza and soda will be available the first hour. The lanes will open around 6:30 p.m. Door prizes will also be given away during the grand opening.
Business hours will tentatively be Monday through Thursday from 2 p.m. to midnight, Friday from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Strikehouse Bowl will offer leagues, parties, private events, church or school lock-ins and after school functions.

The Dark One's daddy issues are about to surface in a very big way.
British actor Stephen Lord has been cast as Rumplestiltskin's father on Once Upon a Time, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
Once Upon a Time: Will Rumplestiltskin save Henry or himself?
On the series, we've learned that the father of a young Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) was branded a coward, so Rumple was desperate to prove he wouldn't follow in dear old dad's footsteps. But when he was drafted to fight in the ogre war, a seer prophesized that he would die in battle, so Rumple intentionally injured himself to sidestep the prophecy. Unfortunately, that also led him to also be branded a coward.
Lord (EastEnders, Shameless) will appear via flashback in at least one episode, slated to air Sunday, Nov. 17. Suffice it to say, we'll get to learn exactly why he wasn't such a great father.
Once Upon a Time bosses dissect Peter Pan's motivations
"We've hinted in the past that his father was a coward and that his father's name was something that haunted him and that his father left him," executive producer Edward Kitsis recently told TVGuide.com. "This is a man who wants to break the cycle of his past. He wants to be a good father, but it's like that quote, 'I can resist everything but temptation,' so that's also his weakness."
Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8/7c on ABC.

After a month of no blogging, I am back with a post by the love birds of the family - my sister Rachel and her husband, Emil! Happy Anniversary you two. After completing a wonderful four years of marriage, you have proved to all of us that to be successfully married, you need to be best friends first ;) . Rachel and I have shared a special bond in baking since our school days. We used to sneak into the kitchen, go through mom's recipes and cook up something almost everyday. She is a wonderful cook just like the rest of the family and this post just a glimpse of her culinary talents. What makes her cooking special is, she does it with so much passion and love for the person for whom she is making it. To prove that you, here is Rachel and Emil, with their Lemon Meringue Cupcakes with oodles of love.
When Serah asked me to write a guest post on her blog, I wondered if she was out of her head.. "Me??!! I am not a blogger/writer/good articulator of words,….then why me, Lord"!
I bake for the love of 'feeding' my loved ones especially that lovable walking eating machine called my husband. Me cooking is definitely the way to his heart.And this is what he has to say about my culinary experiments.
"I love the smell of bakes when I enter the house… and I know I'm HOME. I love the fact that she loves to bake. I see the earnest in the way she goes about it, the clatter of vessels, with her baking artillery all arranged appropriately. I am allowed a gist of how the flavors could turn out to be because she keeps reaching out to me to taste and offer opinions on the mix. It's funny how baking isn't just about how the end objective tastes; it is significantly about how it looks as well. And with a part time photographer for a husband, in spite of the fact that I don't fancy food photography, she [pleasantly] nudges/nags me on. With her brand of cooking, it really isn't difficult, because the bake looks great in any angle. Her irritating attention to detail and the clarity of thought in how she wants it to look can get on my nerves, but hey, nobody said marriage was a bed of roses."
You will need:
- 1 cup pure cream
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Finely grated rind of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 100g butter
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 egg yolk
- Meringue
- 3 egg whites
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
1.Preheat oven to 180'C. Place 12 cupcake liners in a 12 hole muffin pan.
2. Place cream, sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Gradually add flour and zest and continue whisking until mixture is thick and smooth.
3. Divide mixture between prepared liners and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cakes spring back to touch. Cool in muffin pan.
Lemon curd
Heat lemon juice and butter in a small saucepan and simmer until butter has melted. Add sugar, egg and yolks and cook, whisking continuously until mixture becomes thick and glossy. Pour into a shallow oven tray to cool.
Beat egg whites in an electric mixer until firm peaks form, gradually add sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating until sugar has dissolved between each addition. Spoon meringue mixture into a piping bag.
To serve
Pre-heat grill to medium-high. Cut a small hole in the top of each cupcake and fill with 1-2 teaspoons of lemon curd. Pipe a swirl of meringue mixture on the top of each cupcake and place under heated grill for 60-90 seconds or until golden.
Arrange on a serving plate with spoonfuls of lemon curd if desired.
