Antioxidant and radical scavenging properties of Carthamus caeruleus L extracts grow wild in Algeria flora
Four sub-fractions of Carthamus caeruleus L (whichbelongs to the family Asteraceae) root extracts, i.e., methanol (CE), chloroform (CHE), ethyl acetate (EAE) and aqueous (AE) extracts were screened for their total phenolics, flavonoids and possible antioxidant activities, using DPPH free radical-scavenging and β-carotene/linoleic acid assays. The results indicated that total polyphenols were highest in EAE followed by CHE. However, the free radical scavenging activity of CHE was higher than the other extracts with an IC50 value of 53.26 µg/mL. Determination of quercetin, gallic acid and rutin showed antioxidant activity as positive controls in parallel experiments. Moreover, oxidation of linoleic acid was effectively inhibited by AE, EAE and CE which were too close to each other. Also, the CHE was more effective compared to the synthetic antioxidant BHT. It could be concluded that Carthamus caeruleus L growing wild in the Mediterranean regions and especially in Algeria has a potent antioxidant activity and could be evaluated as a starting point for further investigations.
Carthamus caeruleus L., polyphenol, antioxidant activity, DPPH, β-carotene, linoleic acid.

Presentations: Brian Dolinar and Chris Evans are trying to build a coalition to change or revoke Illinois Rule 415, Regulation of Discovery. This regulation prevents a defendant from having a copy of the police report concerning her or his case and has the practical effect of not allowing the defendant to see videos taken of the arrest. The defendant's attorney can have copies but cannot pass them onto the defendant. The defendant can see these materials, but cannot keep a copy. The public cannot have access to the police reports, and it is not clear how long the police reports will remain out of the public record. Otherwise the case file is open to the public. Also, the issue of standard police policy was discussed. Barbar Kessel brought to our attention the Campaign Against Torture. On Monday, April 23, at 7 p.m. at the First Menonite Church at Springfield and Lincoln. There will be a showing of "The Road to Guantanamo" followed by discussion, and this event fits well with our annual general meeting on Aril 22, as our speaker, Gary Isaacs, has represented Guantanamo prisoners. She also mentioned the book sale on April 12 at the Urbana Library. Profits will go to paying the postage expenses of the Books to Prisoners program. General Business: Functions of the Steering Committee: Esther Patt led a discussion about what issues we pass onto the Illinois ACLU. We were reminded that any person can bring an issue to the attention of the Illinois ACLU. As a committee, we stay in touch so that our actions can be supported and defended by the Illinois ACLU. After the Annual General Meeting we may decide to concentrate our energy on one or two issues. Annual Meeting: The Annual meeting will be on April 22, 207, at the Great Impasta, starting at 11:30 a.m.Volunteers will arrive at 10:45 a.m. Rachael has sent publicity to all the news outlets. Members were reminded to make their reservations. Nominating Committee: Carol Inskeep, Lois Steinberg, and Jeff Unger have agreed to join the Steering Committee.Roger Clark and Gary Peters have resigned. Alan Levy may be moving to Emeritus status. Newsletter: Bill Brown asked for another volunteer to do the newsletter. The meeting was adjourned at 9:10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Marsha Woodbury Annual Meeting:The Annual meeting will be on April 22, 207, at the Great Impasta, starting at 11:30 a.m. NEXT STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING: May 3, 2007, at 7:30 p.m.

|HeartSprings Country Directors
These servants have jobs and families but their priority is to spread the gospel in their country. They are not rich in earthly terms but they have much to share in Kingdom terms. Many travel to remote villages and towns to reach those who have had little or no exposure to the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Often travel is difficult and presents risks but they go. They go to give clean water but their real desire is to speak about the 'living water' Jesus Christ. The clean water opens the door but the acceptance of Jesus Christ opens Heaven.
The directors are loosely organized into local and regional directors with a single national director. National directors oversee activities in a country and their role is to lead, train and nurture the local and regional directors. The regional directors support the local directors wherever needed. The local directors select the sites for a Safe Water System. Sites can range from a village or town to an orphanage, a prison, or a drug rehabilitation center. They seek involvement from government officials. They plan and lead all activities surrounding the installation ceremony including. All directors are responsible for the follow up after a Safe Water System has been planted. Our mission is not only to bring divine transformation to individual hearts but to entire communities and cultures.

I've gotten into collaging some this year. My journals were mostly all writing for years, but then I got addicted to cutting crap out of magazines. Then I had fun making a mess with paint. Here's a few recent collages.
What do you add to your collages? Do you add mementos from life, drawings, travel souvenirs, magazine clippings, or objects like leaves or buttons?

Elderly Wedding Guests
Posted by Mark Terreri on
Recently we attended a wedding where the Bride's 92-year-old grandmother attended. She looked lovely and really enjoyed herself. By Grandma Vickie's side – all night – was a young man who happened to be a hired nurse. This young man brought her to the event, helped her to her seat in the church and at the reception, and made sure that she received her special meal. Make no mistake, the Bride and her mom spent time with Grandma Vickie as well. However, with this arrangement they were at ease in knowing they did not have to continually attend to her every need.
We love our Grandmothers and elderly Aunts, but when they need help, it's typically the Bride's mother or father who take on that job. This takes away from the mother and father of the Bride (or groom) being able to enjoy the day with their daughter (or son!). Grandma was on time for all family pictures and really enjoyed the attention she received.
If you are planning a wedding, and you now that you will have an elderly guest that may need help, consider hiring a nurse or nurses aid to assist you on that day. It may help one or both of your parents enjoy this day as well! When the event is over – consider having Gown Preservation Professionals preserve your dress and vail. We take pride in our workmanship and in delighting new brides.

The SWAPP (Salt Water APPlication) project consists on developing and applying an Electrical Conductivity (EC) sensor and Application for smartphones that stakeholders (farmers and water managers) can use to monitor and manage the salinity of the water. By using crowd sourcing (participation of stakeholders) we will create a dynamic database that will be made publically available. The information could be set into a real time management system meant to take decisions on water management, on mitigation of the effects of saline water on farming, and on developing fresh surface- groundwater storage and conservation methods.
Marta Faneca Sànchez will present this business idea in the finals on behalf of her other team members: Esther van Baaren, Gualbert Oude Essink, Mike van de Werf and Eric Lammertsma.
1. What drives you to work on climate adaptation?
Climate adaptation work offers unique challenges to improve natural resources use and management and develop more efficient and sustainable resource use and (agricultural) production. It is very exciting to work in this highly interdisciplinary field.
2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years with this project?
Experience from and concepts developed in this project will be part of a broader approach to use crowdsourcing techniques to develop more appropriate and customized water use policy and management interventions. Our task then and now is to ensure that the introduction of new technologies is both useful and commercially viable.
3. What will you do when you win in September?
Use the event and media attention to raise interest for our concept and connect with collaborators and partners. Make plans and work together for further implementation of our technology.
4. Where do you perceive is the biggest challenge with respect to global climate adaptation?
To integrate the different interventions and adaptations needed in the different parts of the world, to ensure that together they work effectively and reinforce each other (and not conflict or transfer the problem to another place), and to make sure that climate adaptation solutions are also in other ways successful innovations.

Review: 127 Hours
So I'm staying true to my New Year's promise and will do a review on a film which I saw at a press screening. If I'll see the stats for the post will be good, I'll do a couple more of these. If not, I'll still do a little more reviews than before, but only about one a month.
Danny Boyle is a filmmaker who I rather appreciate than flat-out love. Granted, I haven't seen Trainspotting and I really like 28 Days Later... but usually I find his films to be a bit over-indulgent and hyperactive. The same goes to 127 Hours, which is the survival story of a guy (James Franco) who has his hand jammed between a rock.
Boyle begins and ends his movie with scenes which show large masses of people going through their daily races, praying, at a basketball game, etc. It is made clear that the main character Aron Ralston is just one among the masses. He's an everyman, who happens to like to wander in the canyons in Utah. Him being alone out there in the nature creates a contrast to the rest of Aron's life. Every major point in his previous life have all happened while he has been surrounded with a lot of people. One Christmas with the family that woke his interest in wandering in the wild. A girl first confessing him she loves him in a car full of naked people. And the same girl leaving him in the middle of a crowded basketball game.
So what happens is Aron gets stuck alone in the bottom of a canyon with his right hand being jammed between a huge boulder. What begins is a study of the human mind in such a desperate condition. Aron reminiscens old events and makes confessions to his digital camera. As Boyle allows his camera to fly far away to show the vast landscapes without a soul around, the real claustrophobia of the situation is somewhat lost. One can't help but to compare the film to the similar Buried, which lost at realism, but created at least a better claustrophobic feeling. The audience was kept at toes whether the rescue team arrives on the spot or not. With 127 Hours everyone probably knows that the only way Aron can get out of this mess is to cut off his own hand. Those scenes are not for the squeamish. But Boyle suggests that every single one of us could do the same to survive. And importantly, as people and not regressing as animals. Aron acts pretty reasonably through and through, save for a few little fury scenes and babbling nonesense to the camera.
The story is based on the experiences of a real Aron Ralston (who is shown during the end credits) and is of course a gripping one. But Boyle tries a little too hard to connect the one story to the whole human experience. Thus he sees nonexistent Scooby-Doos and dreams about major life points which could be from anybody's life. James Franco as the lead does very good work. His Aron is at once an everyman and a survivalist determined to make out alive. Aron is not a clear cut hero and has made mistakes before and probably will make them again. He is easy to root for and at the same time easy to identify with. Also the way Boyle shoots landscapes is very pretty. I just hope he would've restrained himself from too many split-screens, fast editing and crowd scenes and kept the story more intimate.
Director: Danny Boyle
Screenplay: Danny Boyle & Simon Beaufoy, based on the novel by Aron Ralston

I have been surprised with some very critical reviews this movie has received - because I totally loved this movie. I was wondering if the fast cutting and editing is the one that divides people's opinions? As that was the one that you mentioned, that the movie would have been better if it was more intimate.ReplyDelete
I personally liked the movie with fast, going forward feeling because it made the actual theme less depressing. If it had been slower, I'm afraid the movie could have become a torture to watch as the theme was not very easy to watch even now.
I think it's Boyle's direction that is the most dividing thing about the film for sure. Now, I'm not a filmmaker so I can't really say how the film should've been made. Personally, I just get a feeling from Boyle's recent films that he's a bit overconfident in his style. His themes may vary but the style of his films keeps on being really similar. I'd hope he would challenge himself a bit more. I agree with the review in HS that blamed the ongoing sound effects and Alternative music for bringing too much noise where silence would've been more poignant.ReplyDelete
But some people do find the film very awesome, and it is by no means a bad film. It's just that it didn't speak personally to me. After all, it's a matter of taste and no view is any more right or wrong from the other.

Cardboard Boxes Can Allow Your Kids To Create Their Own Robot Wars
There are many ways your kids can get creative, have fun and tire themselves out! Although they may beg you for the latest console or DVD, you can have lots of fun without such luxuries. Next time you splash out on a home appliance or anything that comes in a large package, keep it for creative play. Cardboard boxes are fantastic for creative play time and give your kids the chance to have their own Robot Wars tournaments. Robot Wars has been a popular entertainment program for years and joins together inventive and creative minds with the rough and tumble fun of childhood. With just some old boxes, glue and scissors you and your kids can soon create your own aggressive robot ready to compete against your other family members. With two robots built you can begin your tournament, have hours of fun and because they're homemade you don't have to worry about wasting money if they get damaged! Fun doesn't always have to be linked to electronics, computers and television. You can enjoy the simple pleasures of your kid's laughter, help them learn about competition and replicate the real life Robot Wars in your living room. Your kids get to explore their creative side before beginning "the fight" and this is really great for their learning and development in the long run. Cardboard boxes are an excellent resource for creative play. If you and your kids are having a lazy weekend at home or the rain's pouring down, settle down and create your very own Robot Wars tournament.

Good Father,
We come before you in the name of your Son, Jesus.
We thank you for the grace of a new day. Thank you for the life of my baby and that you have brought him into our lives. I ask that you guide us in his growth and development with wisdom. I ask that you bless my baby every day of his life with health and contentment. Lord, I ask that you bless our family and give us victory over anything that we have to face. May our lives honor you always and your presence be with us.
In Jesus name, Amen.
This is an example of a simple prayer that you can pray every morning with your baby. While holding your baby in your arms, look at your baby and caress him while praying to God with a gentle voice.

Inaugural Toronto Global Board of Directors, 2017
Mark Cohon is an experienced sports and entertainment executive, proven turn-around expert, active public speaker, proud builder of Canadian brands and entrepreneur at heart.
In sports, Mark is best known for his leadership as the 12th Commissioner of the Canadian Football League. Mark was the driving force behind the renaissance of the league. His eight-year stewardship of the CFL was a remarkable run that saw the CFL's business model transformed and its brand rejuvenated.
Strong attendance, record television ratings, $2 billion in new stadiums, strengthened corporate partnerships, a return to the nation's capital and the almost tripling of team distributions from the league office were are all part of Mark's legacy.
Mark is routinely listed among the most influential people in Canadian sport. He is a former executive with Major League Baseball International (MLB), where he was Director of Corporate and Game Development, and the National Basketball Association, where he was recruited by then Commissioner David Stern to serve as Director and Group Manager of International Marketing, Managing Director of NBA Europe, and Vice-President of Business Development.
Former Chief Development Officer for Petopia, a multi-channel retailer in the United States, Mark was also the President and CEO of AudienceView, an event ticketing firm that grew under his leadership to claim such prominent international clients as the Toronto Blue Jays, the new Wembley Stadium, Churchill Downs and MGM Inc.
Mark, a music industry outsider, was appointed the Chairman of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, to oversee the transformation of the Juno Awards, the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and MusiCounts. Recently, Mark was also appointed to the new role as Chairman of Toronto Global, a new agency funded by three levels of government to promote Foreign Direct Investment into Canada's most populous and rapidly expanding region.
Mark served on the Board of World Wildlife Fund Canada, and is past Chair of the Ontario Science Centre, one of the world's largest centres devoted to science and its impact on our lives.
In the corporate world, Mark sits on a few important boards. He is the Chairman and partner in the Georgian Bay Spirits Company, a fast growing Canadian craft spirits company bringing mixology to the masses. Georgian Bay Spirit Co created a new spirit category with their hit, Georgian Bay Gin Smash, a craft cocktail in a can. He served as a board member of Cirque du Soleil Russia, is on the board of Ryerson Futures, the tech accelerator for Ryerson University and is Chair of Sensibill Inc, a leading digital receipts company.
In 2013 Cohon was appointed to the Order of Ontario, the most prestigious official honour in Canada's most populous province. And in 2015, he received the Meritorious Service Medal from the Governor General of Canada for his transformative leadership of the CFL.
A former zookeeper at the Toronto Zoo during his high school years, in 1990 Mark led a three-month expedition in Siberia and the Canadian High Arctic. In 2001, he lived in the rain forests of Sumatra for a month to assist field scientists studying wild and semi-wild Orangutans.
Mark, a dual citizen of Canada and the United States, lives in Toronto with his wife Suzanne, their daughter and their crazy 4 year old German Shepherd.

Mafia Offers: Beyond the setup (Continued)
Another Mafia Offer Example
In today's post, I will provide other examples of what good Mafia Offers look like and then introduce what Dr. Lang refers to as "The Test" to determine if it is truly a good Mafia Offer. Here's an offer that addresses lead times.
Mr. Customer, we know that everyone quotes a 4-week lead time but rarely does anyone ever deliver in 4 weeks. This causes you to juggle your schedule or sometimes your lines go down. So, we are going to give a 4-week lead time at our current competitive pricing, but we are going to back it up with a penalty. For each day that we ship late, we will deduct 10 percent per day off your order. And if we are 10 days late (which presently happens all of the time), your order is free. [Second Phase] In addition, we know that sometimes your needs change because your customer has made changes, so we can also offer a 2-week lead time for 2X price, but if we ship a day late we deduct 50 percent per day. And, in the rare case that you need it in 1 week, we will do whatever it takes. This is a 4X price, but if we ship late, your order will be free." Operational improvements Required: Implementing Simplified DBR (S-DBR) or Velocity Scheduling System.
This Mafia Offer guarantees a 4-week lead time on delivered products, but look what happens if they miss their delivery date. Imagine one of your suppliers deducting 10 percent per day off of your order and if it is 10 days or more late, your order is free. In addition, this offer address changes caused by your customer. Yes you pay more for an accelerated delivery, but again there is a provision for the order being late. Note that this offer requires an operational improvement (i.e. the implementation of S-DBR or Velocity Scheduling System), but the return on investment is very high.
The Test – Is it a Mafia Offer?
Dr. Lang [1] advises us that "we should test the offer against our definition. Is the offer so good our customers can't refuse it?" Dr. Lang goes on to say that, "If we have done a good job with our analysis, it should be unrefusable to 80+ percent of the target market." She also advises us that no offer will be 100 percent accepted by any market. There will be some people, for whatever reason, that won't find your offer compelling." But imagine an eighty percent acceptance rate!
[1] Dr. Lang tells us that "when we develop a Mafia Offer, we start by asking to whom the offer will be made. We select a target market – a type of customer. The market we select can depend on a number of issues; for example:
- What market do we want to grow?
- What market has the best margins?
- Do we have too much business with one customer or in one market?
- Which customers or types of customers do we dread?
- What market has tons of room for us to grow?
Let's look at another good Mafia Offer from the consumer goods inventory. This offer is also from Dr. Lang's Chapter 22 of the TOC Handbook [1].
"Mister Customer, we know that everyone promises sell through and high gross margin, but places all the risk on you to forecast and manage the inventory. If the forecast is wrong, you miss an opportunity with fast movers and then end up discounting the slow movers. So our offer is to manage our inventory on your shelf and we guarantee we will meet or exceed your historical return on shelf space or we will pay the difference."
Next Time
In my next post, we'll complete our series on Mafia Offers and Viable Vision by explaining how it's possible to turn your current sales dollars into your future profit dollars in four years. As always, if you have any questions or comments about any of my posts, leave me a message and I will respond.
Until next time.

Casper Man Sentenced For Burglary
A Casper man was sentenced to prison for breaking into a liquor store.
Joseph Rieke heard the two-and-a-half-year to three-and-a-half-year sentence for burglary handed down by Natrona County District Court Judge Daniel Forgey on Wednesday.
The case began in late March when Rieke and a friend went to the Outlet Liquor on North Poplar Street after it closed. They found a large hole broken into a wall of the store and Rieke went inside.
The store manager arrived a short time later, noticed the wall had been breached and saw the silhouette of a man outside.
Officers found Rieke sleeping on the lawn of the nearby Dairy Queen.

Evidence – Based Research
It's a three-way relationship between you, your child and their teacher. Successful parental engagement is continuous. Kids are born to learn, and parental engagement needs to start from infancy and be maintained throughout childhood and well into teenage years and early adulthood.
This report provides a synopsis of the literature pertaining to parental engagement in at home and school. On the basis of the evidence in the literature, it identifies those approaches which have the greatest influence and impact on student outcomes. Given the clear benefits of positive parental engagement in student learning, by way of improved academic achievement, wellbeing and productivity, the report concludes that resourcing and effectively progressing parental engagement initiatives is warranted, if not essential to education reform and the future of Australia.
All settings should develop effective partnerships with parents in order to enhance the learning and development of the children with whom they work. We are all learners from birth and it is usually our parents who first give us the confidence and motivation to explore the world around us and who continue to keep us learning and stretching the boundaries of our understanding.
A recent independent academic study of more than 8,000 schools, looking into the impact of Mathletics on NAPLAN results, found a significant advantage in schools using Mathletics. Key findings show; that schools using Mathletics have performed consistently higher in NAPLAN, across Years 3, 5, 7 & 9 since 2008 – by up to 6.7%. The study also demonstrated that schools with longer-term usage (>2 years) saw an even greater jump in their results.

They formed in 1985, they are often cited as one of the greatest influences to the entire doom metal scene and they are still the kings of the sludge genre. They are of course Neurosis, a six-piece form Oakland, California that barged their way through glam metal bands of the 80s and unlike many of their peers, came out the other side.
Honour Found In Decay is the bands tenth studio album and as far as atmospheric metal goes, this is one of the best examples of how to do it properly. From the opening chimes of 'We All Rage In Gold' to the exquisite violin solo that marks the end of the album on 'Raise The Dawn', Neurosis are hauntingly beautiful throughout.
That isn't to say Honour…. isn't a heavy compilation of music because it is. However, even though the album exudes intense ferocity and atmospheric force, it can also often very minimalistic. In fact some of the greatest moments that can be found on this album come from near silence, a point exemplified in the superb second half of 'My Heart For Deliverance'.
Honour Found In Decay is not an album that draws you in on the first listen. Instead it's more of a slow rising beast that needs to be span a few times to fully appreciate its brilliance but once you do you'll be hard pushed to turn it off. As the sixth track on this album says, 'All Is Found…In Time'.

El Salvador: 4G/LTE Auction Delays Push Operators to Upgrade 3G Infrastructure to Cope with Increasing Data Traffic report offers a precise, incisive profile of El Salvador's mobile and fixed telecommunications and pay-TV markets based on comprehensive proprietary data and insights from our research in the El Salvador market. Published annually, this presentation-quality, executive-level report provides detailed analysis of the near-term opportunities, competitive dynamics and evolution of demand by service type and technology/platform across the fixed telephony, broadband, mobile and pay-TV sectors, as well as a review of key regulatory trends.
Key Findings
- With an estimated revenue of $1.0bn in 2014 (or 4.1% of GDP), the telecom services market in El Salvador is the second smallest in Latin American region. The mobile voice and data segments alone generated 65.3% of the total revenue of the sector, while the fixed broadband, fixed voice and pay-TV segments accounted for 34.7%.
- El Salvador closed 2013 with 8.7m active subscribers and a penetration rate of 137.6%, above the Latin American average (117.2%), as well as other Central American countries such as Nicaragua (106.5%) and Honduras (92.3%). We project that El Salvador's mobile subscriber base will continue expanding during the 2013-2019 period (1.3% CAGR), adding nearly 690,000 new subscribers by 2019, equivalent to a penetration rate of 143.9%.
- El Salvador's fixed-line penetration rate at year-end 2013, 13.9%, is considerably below the Latin American average of 15.9% but above other Central American nations such as Bolivia (7.4%) and Nicaragua (5.3%). We expect that fixed-line penetration will continue declining over the forecast period, reaching 13.5% in 2014 and 11.3% by year-end 2019.
- El Salvador ended 2013 with 261,000 pay-TV accounts and a household penetration rate of 15.9%, substantially below the Latin American average (41.3%) but above other Central American countries with similar macroeconomic fundamentals such as Guatemala (7.0%). We believe there is still room for moderate growth, particularly in the DTH segment, and project a 4.5% CAGR in pay-TV subscriptions from 2014 to 2019.

When the boy and I went to Paso Robles the day after our wedding, we didn't know anything about wine tasting and we didn't know what to expect or where to go. We started out at a big winery on a huge, impersonal estate, where the wine wasn't that great and neither were the prices.
We soon began to discover some of the smaller vineyards and tasting rooms, away from the beaten track and out further along the highway and we quickly realized that these were the places to hit. We stumbled upon some of the friendliest winemakers, the most inviting tasting rooms and the best glasses of wine we ever tasted. These wineries have since come to hold quite a bit of sentimentality for us and anytime we taste their wine we are instantly transported to those wonderful memories of our honeymoon.
So when we made the trip back up to paso robles this past September with my parents we had to take them to two of our absolute favorite wineries from our honeymoon: Peachy Canyon and 4 Vines (which is now called Cypher.)
Peachy Canyon is so cute and country chic. They have a Viognier that is sheer heaven. (They also have a cat!)
Whereas the Cypher Winery boasts bottles with some major bite. Their well known blend Anarchy is "a wine that will change the world," according to James May and their other offerings, with fun names like Heretic and Loco are just as fun and flavorful. (They also have a dog!) We actually signed up for their wine club on the way out; what can I say? We love Paso Robles wines!

#FirstTweet reveals Dallas Cowboys Fail
Twitter, celebrating its 8th year of 140 character messages, launched a "Discover" campaign #FirstTweet. Many users found humor in their first tweets, some found solace that they have become better authors, and then we all found Dallas Cowboys' first tweet.
This is hilarious for 2 reasons:
1) No one from the Cowboys front office thought to delete this tweet…which leads us to 2.
2) Because this tweet was never deleted, that means that the account is still active from the days when a guy in his basement claimed the Twitter domain in hopes for cashing in. However, Twitter doesn't operate as web domains do because they own Twitter.com/whatever_name_you_chose. Web domains got people wealthy because they were all free range. First come, first serve. And then sold to the highest bidder.
Companies, major brands and sports teams can go through the office of Twitter and demand their handle name despite someone already "owning" it, because technically Twitter owns it all. After some paper work, proof of ownership for the brand name, Twitter resets the the handle (erases all Tweets and Followers) and the team takes ownership – starting from scratch.
One can only assume the Cowboys paid the ransom to Mr/Mrs 417-576-3797, when it could have been done for free.

As this Slashdot story says, Apple's "Safari for Windows" according to it's EULA could only be installed on Apple-manufactured hardware. Which is, needless to say, pretty stupid. I understand the issue has been resolved now (i.e. Apple have changed the license) but the fact it happened in the first place is just hilarious.
Now as companies go, Apple is a real bastard anway. I mean, they have attempted to sue people left right and center for just discussing products that they might (or might not) be going to release; they don't have a public bug database (and they seem to ignore some bug reports); they don't let users know what is going on with their development plans (Java 6, anyone?); they release software as a "beta" which expires and actually refuses to continue working once the final product is released even though getting that requires you upgrade to a whole new operating system version (Boot Camp – and yeah, I know the license for the beta said that this would happen all along, but it's still rubbish. As far as I know not even Microsoft uses these "What I giveth I also taketh away" tactics). Apple is also a control freak – why can't I transfer songs from one computer to another via my iPod? Because the software won't let me, and that's the only reason. Despite all this many people pay good money for Apple products, that is, they actually pay money to be shafted by Apple. I myself have paid more for Apple hardware and software than I have for PCs, primarily because I would rather be reamed by Apple than use Windows (and I do, occasionally, still need to use commercial software which isn't available for Linux or BSD).
But I'm going off on a tangent. The real issue is software licensing, and what a pile of droppings it normally is (what other product imposes conditions on you after you've already paid for it and taken it home from the shop?). A lot of it is questionable in terms of legality anyway (as far as I understand, copyright is about the conditions under which you can duplicate or reproduce copyrighted works, not what you do with them afterwards, even though many software licenses try to limit use in various ways). The really annoying thing is that you've really got no recourse if you don't like the terms of the license, other than not to use the software (or to ignore the license, which might be illegal). The "must be used on Apple hardware" term is a perfect example of a potentially very annoying (to the user) condition which doesn't actually seem to benefit Apple in any real way.
I can see what benefit Apple thinks it's getting from terms such as this (which I think it's safe to assume is a boilerplate term used in a lot of Apple software licenses) – they're trying to increase hardware sales. If you want to use OS X, you have to buy a Mac to legally do so. This sort of license condition is, however, anti-competitive. It makes non-Apple hardware less useful because you're not allowed to run OS X on it, even if the hardware is perfectly capable of doing so from a technical perspective. I can understand that Apple don't want to provide technical support in that case but they shouldn't be trying to make it actually illegal to install their software on any machine you like.

The Sims 2 - The White Tree Of Gondor
First White Tree
The first White Tree of Gondor came from a fruit that Isildur, at great personal risk, managed to steal from Nimloth the Fair, the White Tree of Númenor, before it was destroyed at Sauron's insistence. He suffered many wounds at this mission, and he came near death, but when the first leaf opened in the spring, Isildur was healed of his wounds.
This sapling was brought to Middle-earth on Isildur's ship, and it was eventually planted in Minas Ithil before the house of Isildur. But when Sauron returned to Middle-earth, he launched a sudden attack that captured Minas Ithil, and he destroyed the White Tree.
Second White Tree
Isildur escaped the capture of Minas Ithil, taking with him a sapling of the White Tree to Minas Anor where it was planted in the citadel courtyard in memory of his slain brother Anárion. This tree died in 1636 during the Great Plague.
Third White Tree
A third sapling was planted in T. A. 1640 by King Tarondor. This one lasted until the year 2872 and the death of the Ruling Steward Belecthor II.
At this time no seedling of the tree could be found as the tree had rarely flowered after the line of the Kings had failed and therefore no fruit was produced. It was left standing after its death "until the King returns".
Fourth White Tree
When Aragorn became king he discovered (with Gandalf's help) a sapling of the White Tree upon the slopes of Mindolluin, high above the city, which he reverently planted in the Court of the Fountain. The dead tree was removed from the court but was placed in the Tombs of the Kings with all the honour that would normally be accorded a fallen monarch. In June of T. A. 3019 the sapling was already laden with blossom.
This tree is a build mode tree mesh. Cost is 400§ The lot shown is from modthesims, just search Minas Tirith there. Enjoy!

Museum of Transport Car Show
Tempting Mother Nature with a April 3rd car show could be dangerous. For the second year in a row our club attended this early all Ford display at the Museum of Transportation in West County. Although snow was in our recent memory, the day went the other direction and broke a record with a high temp of 90 degrees, having some of us going home with our first, although unexpected, sunburn of the season.
The show is a joint presentation hosted by the Model A Club, the Model T Club, and the Early Ford V8 Club. Our club arrived with 18 members and left with 20 members as we signed up two new members.
All in all, a great way to start off the 2011 car show season.
Shown here are:
A. Al Mercer with his drop top Ford cruiser. B. Bart McNail's black Ranger pickup.
C. Bill Bufka's well kept red F-150 pickup.
D. Chris Agers with his black Saleen truck.
E. Bill Giese's gray Rousch Mustang.
F. Don Branson with one of his many Falcons.
G. Jim Biermann's '09 black GT Mustang coupe.
H. Ken Farrar showed his silver Shelby GT500KR.
I. Ed Mauzy displayed his awesome Raptor pickup.
J. Greg Young was on hand with his clean '67 Cougar.
K. Always a standout is Mark Lazzareschi's 1993 Cobra Mustang.
L. Usually the cleanest car in the show, Mark Wisbey's drop top pony always looks good.
M. Longtime member, William Cole was on hand with his later Thunderbird.
N. Jim and Kyle Bayer brought their somewhat rare Torino Cobra.
O. Sporting a new set of Weld Wheels, Mark Carey's 1989 LX always an eye catcher.
P. Scott Craig's black Shelby is an awesome sight.
Q. Terry Koch rested his 68 GT and brought his green Bullitt Mustang.
R. Bob Layton fought the windy day and eventually had to use a bungee cord to keep the hood in place.
S. The Museum is a great place for kids like Tony and Emma Lazzareschi.

First of all let me say I love Thanksgiving because most people like to show off their cooking skills and make REAL food. For those of us that eat REAL this is truly something to be grateful for. I also love that a whole day is set aside to say thanks. Remember to be thankful for family, friends, good food and good times and that's just the beginning.
Menu Planning:
· Write a menu and guest list. Email the menu including drinks and mixers to your guest list with a response deadline. Let them if they would like to bring anything on the menu put their name next to it. If they would like to bring something else add it to the list and put their name next to that. Then have them click reply all. Wait until your response date and see what you will need to make or provide to complete the menu.
· People who do not like to cook often times will bring beverages. Usually the last thing you need is store bought dips and snacks so this is a good item to have on your menu for someone to select.
Planning Ahead:
· Write a grocery list and a prep list for all items you will need to make or buy.
· Thaw the turkey under refrigeration for up to 5 days in advance on in a pan with sides on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator so no raw juices can drip into any other foods.
· Go shopping early in the morning or late at night up to 5 days in advance. Less people will be shopping at these times. Believe me it is worth it!
Make ahead anything that can be made in advance:
· Mashed potatoes and stuffing can be reheated in a crock pot or oven. Make up to 3 days in advance.
· Twice baked potatoes-make up to 3 days in advance.
· Pies-make up to 2 days in advance.
· Make Roux for gravy up to a month in advance.
Setting up:
· Find and clean all linen dishes, serving platters, silverware and serving spoons and place in one spot in your home until needed.
· Set the table 2 days in advance.
· Put sticky notes on platters and cookware that state what item will be presented or made in them.
· Line up your buffet table allowing one linear foot per item served.
· Have "to go" containers available and give leftovers away or set up TV dinners for your family to eat all week or freeze immediately following the event. More hands make less work. You will be alone tomorrow do it ASAP. People want to help so let them! Make one example and have them takeover.
· Give yourself a KISS-Keep It Simple Silly; a turkey is just a big chicken. Don't panic you can do this!
· Smaller turkeys taste better and yield more meat so if needed make 2 or make 1 turkey and 1 breast. Even better make one the day before as a back up. It can always be used as lunch meat.
· Your turkey should weigh in pounds the number of guests attending. For example a 12 pound turkey serves 12 people with leftovers after it has been cooked and carved.
· Save your bones to make soup stock later. I do this even if I go somewhere else. I simply ask "are you going to use those bones?" If they say "no" I bag them up put them in a cooler in the car or just the car depending on the weather here in Michigan. I freeze them to make stock at a later time. See this post.
· To make gluten free stuffing replace bread with cooked rice or quinoa.
Turkey Cooking Tips:
· Let the turkey be at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. When cold meat is placed in a hot oven it contracts and can become tough.
· Remove innards. Rinse the turkey and pat it dry. Season inside and out with salt and pepper.
· Lift skin on breast meat (still keeping it attached) and smear softened butter underneath or place strips of bacon over the breast skin and meat.
· Add chopped carrots, onions, celery and apples to the cavity of the bird before roasting.
· Roast the turkey on a bed of chopped carrots, celery, onions and apple. This will add flavor from the bottom up.
· Allow 12-15 minutes roasting time per pound of bone in turkey. Convection ovens cook faster.
· Start the turkey in a 400 degree oven to "sear "in the juices. After 30 minutes reduce the heat to 325 or 350 degrees and roast until juices run clear and a probe or instant read thermometer inserted between the leg and the thigh at the thickest part reads 160-165 degrees.
· If the turkey browns to quickly tent with foil.
· To keep your meat moist let the turkey rest 20-30 minutes before carving.
Making Gravy Old School with a Roux:
Roux-a roux is equal parts fat to flour. Roux keeps for several months in the refrigerator.
½ cup butter, ghee, oil, bacon fat or lard (butter is my favorite!)
½ cup flour or brown rice flour
· Melt butter in pan over medium heat and whisk in flour until mixture begins to thicken and bubble. Cook 1-2 minutes to remove the "flour" taste.
· Use immediately to thicken soups, stews and gravies.
· Use 1 tablespoon of roux to 1 cup of liquid.
· Add desired amount of roux to hot liquid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thick about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
· Store unused roux in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Can be used hot or cold when adding to a hot liquid. Remember to bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes stirring continuously.
Strained drippings turkey plus enough chicken or turkey stock or broth to measure 2 cups
2-4 tablespoons of roux; depending on how thick you like your gravy
· Heat drippings and stock to a simmer; stir in roux and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2-3 minutes. If too thick add stock. If too thin add a little roux and cook another minute or two.
Yield 2 cups

By Frances Moore Lappé
Beyond Lakoff's strict father vs. nurturant parent, a strong community manifesto
George Lakoff's new best-seller Don't Think of an Elephant
has been heralded as the "bible†for battered progressives searching
for direction in the post-election doldrums. Lakoff himself has become
the Left's answer to Frank Luntz, the focus-group genius behind the
branding of Bush's "death tax,†"Clear Skies†and "Healthy Forestsâ€
"Frames,†according to Lakoff, are the key to
understanding how political ideas are received. Human beings don't
absorb information as raw material; we sift input through frames of
meaning carried in the language we use.
Lakoff's central
idea is that conservatives see the world through a "strict fatherâ€
frame emphasizing discipline, self-reliance, forceful defense, while
progressives see the world through a "nurturant parentâ€
frame—supportive, nourishing, emphasizing mutual responsibility. Lakoff
claims that thirty-five to 40 percent of Americans fall into each camp,
although most are some sort of mix.
The Right, Lakoff points
out, is extremely good at selling their policies in clear, easy to
understand "strict father†frames. Progressives, on the other hand, too
often seem to offer laundry lists of issues lacking any overarching
moral framework.
So, it's easy to see why progressives are
rallying around Lakoff's call to arms. Since polls show majorities
actually agree with the progressive agenda on many key issues,
including corporate power, the environment and abortion, focusing on
"framing†issues in ways that Americans can understand them seems like
the answer they've been praying for. Certainly, much of Lakoff's advice
about communicating progressive ideas is powerfully insightful and right on target.
But two big dangers loom.
Dave Winer and Dan Gillmor recently butted heads over Bill Gates' infamous answer to whether copyright laws should be reformed:

St Fursey's, Sutton, Norfolk
The smallest working church in England, and arguably the strangest, St Fursey's is a modern-day labour of love. It's built in the garden belonging to its priest, Father Stephen Weston. The story began in 1998 when Father Stephen, disillusioned with the Anglican Church in which he had served as a vicar for 20 years, left to join the Antiochan Orthodox church. There being no English-speaking Orthodox church in the district, he immediately set about constructing one out of plywood, measuring just 18ft x 13ft. Basing the design on an almost equally small 4th-century church at Silchester in Hampshire, with the help of volunteers he completed the building within six months at a cost of around £5,000.

NOTE: Here is the 1st Food For Thought Friday Post. This is the bare bones of an article that is currently in the works (and obviously very rough). There's a lot or meat in this topic though, so I will likely divide into a series of articles.
In the Real Food world, election day is not just the second Tuesday of November or even the primary days in our states' elections. No - as Real Foodies, we vote every day, several times a day. Only most of us probably don't realize this. But every time we eat food we are casting a vote with our food dollars. We are voting for and defining a food system, both locally and globally.
Hmmmmm...Let's ruminate on this a bit and see how it all plays out:
When we buy locally farmed food (plants and meat), we are supporting (and strengthening) a local farming economy. And we are signaling to area grocery stores - particularly the larger chain stores - that we want more local food options. If you believe in this premise then vote with your food dollars and buy local food!
Ohhhhh...I like this thread, let's keep it going.
When we buy organic foods, we are signaling that we want pesticide-free, sustainably raised food to be accessible in our communities.
When we eat at restaurants that specialize in preparing dishes with locally farmed foods and we actually order these foods, we are signaling to these proprietors that we support this business model.
When we buy fast food or ultra-processed foods sold in the grocery stores and convenient marts - whether we realize it or not - we are signaling to the food manufacturing conglomerates that we are OK eating food formulations loaded with sugar bombs and other unhealthy ingredients. Well are we really OK with this? Really??
When we buy shrimp - particularly pre-peeled shrimp - caught and processed in South Asia, we are supporting an industry fraught with modern-day slavery. OMG!!! No way am I doing that. I'm going to read labels to ensure that the shrimp I buy is sustainably and responsibly caught or farmed and processed. And I'm going to peel my own damn shrimp (and boil the shells for a savory seafood broth)!! Note to self: AP published this series of articles about slavery in South Asian seafood industry over the entire 2015 year. But I only read the "peeled shrimp" article in December 2016. How did I miss all these other articles??
It was this last part - about slavery in the seafood industry that inspired me to broaden the scope of my Blog to include food values and food justice issues. I read this article during a time when I was developing the concept for this Blog. And I realized that I could widened the scope beyond a food Blog - and promote a message that food is not just about what we eat, but also a reflection of our values. This is a natural intersection between my passion for Real Food and my work as an advocate for social and economic justice. So the Blog will really be articulating a wholistic approach to understanding and connecting with food. An approach that nourishes the mind, body & spirit.
Now I know that there are many who may agree with the concept of voting with our dollars and support these causes, but literally do not have many dollars to spend. Or who may live where Real Food is not readily or easily accessible. But this is the purpose of Realistic FoodEs - ease barriers by helping my readers find reasonable and realistic ways to integrate these concepts into their lives and make better and more mindful choices about their food.
And for those of us who don't have barriers, let's try to vote with our food dollars as much as we can. If enough of us do this and those with barriers do as much as they can - we can create a critical mass of support that will eventually make Real Food more accessible and affordable for all of us!
