These little spinach pies are delicious little 'nibbles' which you can have either as part of a buffet, a side dish or part of a light lunch. Easy to make and delicious!
½ kg spinach
2 cloves garlic crushed
2 tbsp pine nuts
2 tbsp butter
2 sheets filo pastry
2-3 hot red peppers chopped
1 tbsp butter melted and mixed with 1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Put the spinach with ½ tsp salt in a pan (no water) at a moderate heat and stir until the liquid comes out and it becomes tender. (approx. 5 minutes)
Drain the spinach and chop finely.
In a small frying pan put the 1 tbsp butter at a moderate heat and add the pine nuts. Stir for 1-2 minutes.
Remove quickly from the heat before the pine nuts turn black, remove the pine nuts and place on kitchen paper.
In a shallow pan put the other 1 tbsp butter and heat.
Add the peppers and garlic and mix.
Add the spinach and stir.
Add salt and pepper to taste and mix for about 1 minute until the liquid is absorbed.
Add the pine nuts and remove from heat. Place in a bowl and set aside.
When the mixture has cooled, brush 1 sheet of filo pastry with butter and score it (not cut) lengthwise so that you have 4 long strips and then once across the width in the middle. You have now 'scored' 8 sections of pastry.
Using half of the spinach mixture, place approx. 1 tbsp on each of the 8 sections – place them at the outside edge of each section.
Fold each section into a triangle (see photo) and place in a buttered shallow oven dish.
Repeat this process with the other sheet of filo pastry and the remaining spinach mixture and add them to the others in the oven dish.
Place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for approx. 40 minutes, until they turn golden brown.
Remove twice before the 40 minutes is up, brush with the melted butter and olive oil mixture and put back in the oven.

Compile-Time Reflection: Metaprogramming in Heron
I have just released version 0.8 of Heron . This is a pretty significant version of Heron for me, because it implements a feature that I have wanted for a long-time: the ability to execute arbitrary code at compile-time and to modify the abstract syntax tree.
Version 0.8 of Heron has a number of small improvements and bug fixes, but the coolest new feature is the ability to execute arbitrary code at compile-time and to traverse the code object model. The code object model is a typed representation of the abstract syntax tree (AST). The Heron code object model is outlined inthis file.
In Heron any code in the program can be executed at compile-time or at run-time. There is no special syntax needed to identify code executable at compile-time.
This is made possible in Heron because the compiler has a built in interpreter which executes immediately after the input code is parsed into an abstract syntax tree. The only difference between compile-time and run-time execution is the entry point: where program execution starts.
In Heron the run-time entry point to a program (other than scripts) is by convention the constructor of a class named "Main". Program termination occurs once this is class is finished construction. At compile-time the entry point is a different class, this one named "Meta". (note: these conventions will probably change before the official version 1.0, because I should probably use static functions like C# and Java). The other difference is that the "Meta" class constructor accepts an argument of type "Program" which represents the root object in the code object hierarchy.
Another way to think of the Heron metaprogramming system is that it is a reflection system, but available only at compile-time. Unlike the reflection APIs available for C# (and I think Java) you can examine and modify code right down to the level of statements and expressions.
While the current version of Heron the metaprogramming is mostly limited to introspection (other functionality simply hasn't yet been tested, but may work), it already has a wide variety of potential uses. The first program I wrote to test it is a pretty printer, which outputs its own source code as text by walking the object model. You can see the source code here.
To test this program you canrun the interpreter with the test file from the command-line:
HeronEngine.exe tests/prettyprinter.heron
However, I see no reason not to write more interesting programs like source to source translators (e.g. from Heron to C), or even native-code compilers. I am especially interested in writing a Heron to JavaScript translator.
I may even write a static type checker using the metaprogramming system itself. I think though that once I have a Heron interpreter written in Heron itself is when things are really going to get interesting.
I'm not an expert in meta-programming or macro systems in other languages, so I'd be really interested to hear how this compares with other languages.

In conjunction with the holy month of Ramadan, Yahoo! Malaysia had launched a dedicated microsite, Ramadan Mubarak, offering religious and lifestyle contents which includes waktu solat (prayer times) for the various states in Malaysia; articles by Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, recipes from Chef Wan, greetings from local celebrities, bazaar reviews and so forth.
Ramadan Mubarak will be presented in the Malay language to connect with the local community. We did ask if it will have an English equivalent but was told not at the moment. We thought that having them in English would enable foreigners and tourists to learn more about the religion and what fasting is all about. Hopefully by next year, this will materialise.
According to Marc Lourdes, Country Editor of Yahoo! Malaysia, the content for this special site was developed to satisfy the community's interest on Islamic values and at the same time satisfying the need of lifestyle contents. Hence, Ramadan Mubarak touches on varied contents around spirituality, entertainment, lifestyle and food.
Left to Right: Marc Lourdes, Uttam Chopra & Jon-Tjin Kee
Further to that, Uttam Chopra, Lead Product Manager, Custom Brand Experiences, Yahoo! SEA; showed us how to connect with family and friends by sharing the articles found in Ramadan Mubarak. If one has log on to their Facebook, the Share buttons are enabled to share the beautiful photos, interesting articles and recipes, so convenient eh? Yahoo! Malaysia has also made things easier by offering the contents on mobile devices and tablets on all platforms.
The Sales Director and Country Ambassador of Yahoo! Malaysia, Jon-Tjin Kee, mentioned that such Custom Branded Experiences offers a unique value proposition to various brands who wants to be publishers and generate social reactions online. So what Yahoo! Malaysia did was to partner with various establishments by providing them the environment to engage with consumers. Say for example with Dumex, a children milk products, they have a Parenting World page where Dumex supplied the relevant contents with regards to parenting with no direct mention to Dumex, well as in hard sales of the product. Then there's Vaseline on beauty and for now Listerine with Ramadan Mubarak.
For photo buffs, Yahoo! is running a special group on Flickr for you to share your Ramadan Memories in photos. Looks like I'll go round photo hunting and share my experience with the world as you know Ramadan here is uniquely Malaysian!
Just a note, all my photos on this blog is hosted on Flickr, you can check them out here.
To all our Muslim readers, Ramadan Al-Mubarak!

Former Brentford chairman Greg Dyke believes an increase in 3G floodlit facilities in England would greatly improve grass roots football in the country.
The FA chairman is heading the campaign to develop England's youngest footballers in a bid to improve the national team.
Dyke has already set up a new FA commission to improve the England team and is aiming to build from the bottom up via an improvement in grass roots football.
And the 66-year-old believes 3G artificial football pitches could make a huge contribution in producing better footballers.
He said: "There is, unfortunately, a real lack of great facilities in this country. "We know the benefits 3G floodlit facilities bring to our game, enabling more young people in the country to become better players, coaches and referees."

'I used to live in a small house across the creek over there, together with my husband Abundio, and my six children: Rudyard Voune (13), Vinsun Mark (12), Reynel John (10), Christian (9), Anthony (3) and 11-month-old baby James.
'We had heard on the TV that there was a typhoon coming but we didn't worry as we had never had a typhoon here before, so we didn't make any preparations. The wind and rain started to get very loud at about four in the morning, then at seven we realised that the stream had turned into a raging torrent and was flooding very fast and coming towards our house. We ran away from the house and escaped to some higher ground, where we found shelter on the top floor of a two-storey house.
'We were trapped in the house for two days until someone came and rescued us in a boat, and we were taken to the local gymnasium which was being used as an evacuation centre. We stayed there for a week but it was so crowded that we decided to leave and go back to the ruins of our house. It proved impossible to live there as well, so we left after another week and spent the next five weeks staying with relatives until we were given a ShelterBox tent at the end of January.
'My son Christian injured his foot really badly on some broken glass as we were escaping from the flood and he is still unable to attend school. We are all traumatised, especially the children who get frightened when it rains heavily and don't want to go to school.

'I don't know what the future holds. We are not allowed to go back and live in the place where our old house stood as the government says it's at risk of flooding if there is another typhoon. We will have to find somewhere else to live and build a house there, but I don't know when. Meanwhile we will stay here in our ShelterBox tent.'

Dealing Scherzer opposite of Tigers' win-now mentality
Cost savings, potential prospects not enough to forgo title pursuit
Maybe the Tigers are open to trading Max Scherzer this winter, as has been widely reported.
Maybe the offers for Scherzer are or will be attractive.
Maybe marketing a guy who is 29, just won the American League Cy Young Award handily, is a Scott Boras client and is eligible for free agency in fewer than 12 months makes all the sense in the world.
But I'm just not buying the notion that any of this talk will lead to actual action.
Not if we're to put any stock whatsoever into, well, pretty much every recent transaction made by the Tigers.
"Everything they've done the last several years," one evaluator said, "has been with a World Series in mind."
Yep. The only possible exception is the hiring of a rookie manager in Brad Ausmus to replace the legendary Jim Leyland. But that says more about the state of the managerial hiring process and the relationship between manager and GM in the game today than it does about the Tigers' intentions.
They are still very much in win-now mode, all the way, and their aging core combines with their aging owner (Mike Ilitch turns 85 next summer, and his monetized yearn for a World Series ring is as well documented as it is well respected) to place undoubted urgency on the here and now.
So moving the mighty Max, while attractive both from the money it would save and the youth it could inject into the organization, makes too little sense for the Tigers to be taken too seriously.
This is not nearly the same situation the Rays face with David Price (who, by the way, is a more valuable trading chip anyway, given that he's left-handed, has two years of contractual control attached to him and is arguably more likely to work out a long-term extension prior to his free-agent eligibility). The Tigers, simply put, have dug themselves too deep into the win-at-all-costs model to start digging out now. They're in it to win it or go broke trying.
Still, the rumors will rage, because team president, CEO and general manager Dave Dombrowski would be foolish not to at least listen to what other clubs have to say. And Scherzer, by the way, will be listening closely to every rumor and rumbling. Refreshingly, he's one of the few players who openly admit they enjoy analyzing the business side of ball, tuning in rather than tuning out, and he'll have plenty of tuning in to do in the coming weeks.
So, for fun, let's explore every incentive behind dealing Scherzer.
The primary argument for a trade is that the Tigers can't afford to keep him beyond 2014, and this argument might very well have some validity to it.
Scherzer was a bargain last season at $6.73 million. But in his final year of arbitration, he could very well double that number. Per MLBtraderumors.com, the largest raise for an arbitration-eligible starting pitcher with five years of service time was a $5.9 million bump that went to Carlos Zambrano. And that was way back in 2007, an eternity in this particular financial model. Given his Cy season, you could easily imagine Scherzer challenging or outright breaking that record.
And then, once he hits free agency, the sky's the limit. Not just because of who he is but because of what the open market has to offer. We have every reason to believe the Dodgers, who have been known to spare no expense themselves in recent years, will work out an extension with Clayton Kershaw. And if that's the case, Scherzer would easily be the top starter available in a free-agent market watered down by the recent trend of teams locking up their top talent at an early age.
The Tigers have certainly made the most of their market conditions, and their fans have responded by packing Comerica Park and topping the 3 million mark two straight seasons. But without a whopper of a television contract like the ones the Dodgers and several other clubs have signed in recent years, the Tigers' limits will be tested.
Scherzer has indicated he's willing to discuss an extension (not all Boras clients demonstrate that they're open to the idea), but the Tigers have to determine if they're willing to go down that road. They've already got more than $90 million committed to four guys -- Prince Fielder ($24 million), Miguel Cabrera ($22 million), Justin Verlander ($28 million) and Anibal Sanchez ($16.8 million) -- in 2015. And that's the last season of contractual control they have for Cabrera, so this could very well be a situation where the Tigers have to weigh re-signing Mr. Two-Time MVP vs. Scherzer.
Thing is, if we remove all emotion from this process, you could make a pretty compelling case that locking up the ace-type arm would be a wiser course of action than locking up the slugger who will be 32 years old when he reaches free agency. In terms of age and at-bats, Cabrera is just venturing into the territory where Albert Pujols began to show the first signs of decline. The Cardinals let Pujols walk and later locked up their 30-year-old ace, Adam Wainwright.
Though it's not an exact comparison, it's a decent one, and it's worked out well for the Cards so far.
So, yeah, I'd make every effort to extend Scherzer, if I could.
But regardless of whether they have serious expectations of extending him or not, the Tigers have to think twice about trading Scherzer. They have to consider the recent history of teams trading an ace for young players.
Cliff Lee was dealt three times by three different teams in 2009 and '10. A total of 11 players were acquired in those trades by the Indians, Phillies and Mariners. Those 11 players have combined for a 4.1 WAR at the Major League level.
The Indians also got surprisingly little long-term value out of the CC Sabathia deal, which netted them a solid player in Michael Brantley but a whiff on the key piece of the deal, Matt LaPorta. The Blue Jays dealt Roy Halladay and have gotten basically bupkis out of Kyle Drabek and (through a subsequent deal involving Michael Taylor ) Brett Wallace. The Twins went 0-for-4 on the Johan Santana trade.
The jury is still out on last winter's R.A. Dickey trade, but suffice it to say it's a special thing to watch a Cy Young Award winner blossom and a very difficult thing to get adequate value back for him. Even if you're as savvy a swapper as Dombrowski has proven himself to be.
Besides, the knowledge that Scherzer is a one-year rental who will be a difficult sign in the winter before 2015 will deflate his value, Cy Young or not. Rick Porcello, a moveable piece (given Drew Smyly's ability to assume his back-of-the-rotation spot) with two years of contractual control, is the much more realistic trading chip, from the Tigers' perspective.
Dombrowski believes his farm system is better than outsiders give it credit for, but there's no denying it leans more toward the thin side than do the Twins' and Royals' stables, especially. So the AL Central Division is going to continue to evolve. Beyond that, Torii Hunter and Victor Martinez will also be free agents one year from now.
These windows don't last forever, and the Tigers have gone to extraordinary lengths to maximize theirs. The window remains wide open for 2014 in no small measure because of the robust rotation the Tigers have the ability to return.
Every move this organization has made in recent years has been about winning a World Series in the here and now. I don't expect that to change. And that's why I don't expect a Scherzer swap.

A Carlisle building labourer has been relieved of his driving licence for 27 months after a drunken kebab retrieval manoeuvre ended with him piling his car into a stationary vehicle.
Colin Watson, 27, left the house he shares with his parents on 18 May, following a row with mum and dad. According to the Telegraph, he drove to the Border Rambler boozer in the city centre and quaffed six pints, before offering a chum a lift home.
As is the local custom, the pair first went in search of post-pub nourishment, driving to a kebab outlet outside Carlisle. At this point Watson "realised he was too drunk to drive", but instead of ditching the car, he decided to head back into the city to grab a cab.
Defending Watson in Carlisle Magistrates Court, Geoff Clapp explained: "He realised he had had too much to drink to drive home and was turning back when, unfortunately, the kebab, which was on the dashboard, fell on the floor."
As Watson bent down to rescue the nosh, he booked himself a date before the beak.
Paul Gibson, prosecuting, told the court: "A woman was in her car, which was stationary, talking to a friend she had dropped off. All of a sudden she heard a loud bang and the car jolted forward."
Both women walked from the kebab-prompted prang without injury, although the car on the receiving end suffered a dented rear wheel arch and flat tyre. The fate of the kebab is unknown.
District Judge Gerald Chalk disqualified Watson for 27 months and slapped him with a 12-month community order, obliging him to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work. ®

Lately, I haven't been doing much with my nails. Last week, I only painted my nails once – gasp! But I've been really wanting to get back into nail art, and since I used this blog as an excuse to buy a lot of polishes from all the new fall collections, I kind of had to use them in a post.
For these nails, I started with a base of OPI Amore at the Grand Canal from the new Venice collection. I have probably somewhere around a hundred red nail polishes, and I always love new ones. This one is fantastic! I wore it for almost a week after doing this manicure.
The black lace is actually not stamping or water decals – they're stickers! I got these really cool 3D lace stickers from Born Pretty Store (click here to check them out). I almost put them on a nude background, which would have been really pretty – but what's cooler than glossy red and black lace? They have a ton of different designs, and I found them really easy to use – just trim and stick. The directions recommend using topcoat, but my Seche Vite made them curl up just a teensy bit on the edges and did cause a few bubbles. Really minor issues – any normal person probably wouldn't notice – but I thought I'd give you a heads-up. I'd suggest trying a regular (not quick drying) topcoat if you decide to use these.
Hope you enjoyed these nails! I have a bunch of other Born Pretty Store products to review for you, so keep an eye out for more posts soon!

Count Pujols among Harper's admirers
WASHINGTON -- The first time Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper met Angels first baseman Albert Pujols was at the 2010 All-Star Game in Anaheim. Pujols signed a bat for Harper during that time.
Four years later, Pujols called Harper and Angels outfielder Mike Trout two of the most exiting players in the game of baseball.
"I'm pretty excited to see [Harper], to go against him in this series and see what he can do," Pujols said.
A lot of people are making a big deal about Harper and Trout facing each other for the first time. Experts have compared the two players ever since they entered the league full-time in 2012.
Asked if it's fair to compare the two players, Pujols said, "My advice as a veteran player is just play the game the way they know how to play it, and try to not get caught up too much into the media [hype]. … That's extra pressure you don't need. This game is already tough enough. Like I told Mike, he has to be himself, play the game he knows how to play. Don't try to do extra things special, because the normal things that you do are pretty special already."
Pujols was aware that Harper was taken out of the game for not hustling on Saturday against the Cardinals. Pujols said the same thing happened to him when he was a member of the Cardinals.
"[Then-manager] Tony [La Russa] took me to the side and told me, 'That's not me.' Sometimes you get caught up," Pujols said. "… [Harper] respects the game so much. He was probably one of the guys that was more down, because that's not him. It teaches you not to take this game for granted."
Pujols said every player goes through a point where they don't feel like going all out in a game.
"Everybody -- whether you are in Little League, high school or college -- we have all gone through that," Pujols said. "Hopefully, it doesn't happen to him again. Sometimes, you go through some things or you have an injury to the point where you have to lay back. When you hit a ground ball and you are going to be out by 30 feet, why are you going to try to bust your butt when you are hurt?
"There are a lot of things that could happen. I don't know his situation, but I know people are trying to make a big deal about it. … When you play 162 games, those are things that are going to happen. You just need to make sure that you clear your mind and be ready to play the next series or the next game.
"[Harper] admitted that he was wrong. He knows it. I'm pretty sure the next day he went out there and busted his butt and ran the bases hard."

Rocker Sammy Hagar said he's pretty sure aliens exist because "a few decades ago" a pair of extraterrestrials tapped into his mind through some kind of Wi-Fi connection.
In his new memoir "Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock," the ex-Van Halen frontman writes about a vivid dream where he says he stumbled upon a UFO with two aliens inside near Fontana, Calif.
Hagar told MTVHive.com the scene he described in his book really happened. He said he played it down in print because he didn't want to sound like "a crazy person."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"It was a download situation," Hagar told MTV. "This was long before computers or any kind of wireless. There weren't even wireless telephones."
Hagar explained that during the experience "knowledge was transferred back and forth" and he could see what was happening.
The "Feels So Good" singer said it wasn't his only close encounter with aliens. He said he left out of his book another bizarre experience.
"One time I saw what I considered to be, well, at the time I thought it was a car with no wheels," Hagar said. "We lived out in the country and I saw this thing floating across a field, creating this big dust storm. I threw rocks at it and s---. And I don't know what happened after that."
No word on what gems the aliens may have extracted from Hagar's mind back in the '70s or '80s.

Honor the Heroes of the Game, Preserve Its History, Promote Its Values & Celebrate Excellence Everywhere
"People always ask me why I look at football films so long. It's because every time I look at them I see a new thing. You look at the same film twenty times and then, bang, something jumps out at you."
(Dayton)...Charles Henry Noll ... Only coach to win four Super Bowls (IX, X, XIII, XIV) ... 23-year record: 209-156-1 in all games ... Took over team that had never won title of any kind, 1969 ... Building program stressed annual player draft ... First team finished 1-13 ... Steelers won first-ever championship (AFC Central), 1972 ... Won nine AFC Central titles ... Guard-linebacker for Cleveland Browns, 1953-1959 ... Born January 5, 1932, in Cleveland, Ohio ... Died June 13, 2014, at age of 82.
Chuck Noll was the head coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers for 23 seasons from 1969 until 1991. The Noll-led Steelers developed from a miserable 1-13 season in Noll's first campaign to the highest level ever attained by an National Football League team to date.
He won four Super Bowl championships in a six-year period starting with a 16-6 win over Minnesota in Super Bowl IX and culminating with a 31-19 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl XIV. Pittsburgh also defeated Dallas twice in classic struggles, 21-17 in Super Bowl X and 35-31 in Super Bowl XIII. Noll took over a Pittsburgh team that had never won a championship of any kind in almost 40 years of National Football League play.
Through shrewd drafts and strong guidance, Noll helped team owner Art Rooney and the Steelers shed their "lovable losers" image. He quickly established a building program with an emphasis on the annual college draft to realize the ultimate goal of an NFL championship.
The rebuilding program bore fruit much more quickly than could have been expected. His fourth team in 1972 finished with an 11-3-0 record and the AFC Central Division title. The Steelers lost the 1972 AFC championship to the undefeated Miami Dolphins 21-17.
Altogether, Noll's team won nine AFC Central Division championships and they had winning records in 15 of his last 20 seasons with the Steelers. He retired with an impressive 209-156-1 record in all games, including a 16-8-0 post-season record.
Noll, a graduate of the University of Dayton, played seven seasons as a messenger guard and a linebacker for the Cleveland Browns from 1953 to 1959. He was an assistant coach with the Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers and the Baltimore Colts for nine years before accepting his first and only head-coaching job with the Steelers in 1969.

Compare To: The ideal neighborhood Italian restaurant in your mind
Must-Haves: Ricotta ravioli, eggplant involtini, cheese plate
Cost: Appetizers $8 to $12, pizzas/pasta $11 to $14, mains $16 to $19.50
Recommendation: Recommended. If old school, no fuss Italian is what you're after, it delivers. Like Little Italy with better food and less kitsch.
"You want a bottle of red wine or white tonight? Or maybe rosé for the weather," our waitress asked shortly after wedging us into a four-top no bigger than a couple of folded newspapers. Her delivery was spectacularly close to the Billy Joel song lyrics, which may have subconsciously influenced me into spending the rest of the meal thinking to myself, this has got to be the most neighborhood-Italian-y of neighborhood Italian restaurants in the city. I have a couple of friends who got married two weeks ago and used to live on 84th and Amsterdam. I asked them if they'd ever been. "It's where we had our first date!" said the newlywed wife. It's that kind of a place—one that engenders equal parts pride and nostalgia.
A wood-fired pizza oven illuminates the back wall behind the counter as you walk in and chewy slices of Tuscan bread with peppery olive oil wait for you at the tables. They're sometimes stale, but that's part of the charm—besides, you don't want to fill up on them, for there is far better food to be found on the menu.
If you get there any time after 7 p.m. pretty much any night of the week, you'll get asked by Carmine Mitroni—the thickly-accented, vest-wearing owner—gently but firmly to stand in the corner under their greenhouse awning until a table opens up for you, but don't worry—you can get that bottle of red any time you want, and the wine (no matter what color you choose) is reasonable, the pours are generous, and there's only one shape of glass available.
The restaurant has been open for a little over a decade, but I would believe it if you told me it was twice as old. Neither the space nor the menu show any of the trappings that the new wave of retro red sauce Italian restaurants ironically take part in (think Rubirosa or Parm), nor the Epcot Center-esque qualities of old school Little Italy joints; Celeste's purposefully stark hominess is natural and inviting. Its charm is as unavoidable as Carmine himself, who at one moment will be outside helping a passerby with a suitcase, the next will be introducing himself to the visiting son of a regular patron, the next talking a mile-a-minute about the cheese he personally smuggles in from Italy on his monthly trips.
There is red sauce on the menu, and it's a good one—bright, fresh, and sweet with a touch of gently browned garlic—but you won't find Little Italy-style chicken parm or spaghetti and meatballs. Instead it gets scattered with basil and folded into baked gnocchi ($11), or cooked down on top of a pizza margherita ($13). The latter, with a nicely charred crust and fresh flavor (marred only by slightly rubbery mozzarella) was probably the best pizza in the neighborhood back when Celeste first opened.
Heck, it's probably still the best pizza in the neighborhood, but that really says more about the neighborhood that Celeste's pizza. When was the last time you saw a true, compartmentalized, four-quadrant Quattro Stagioni pizza on a New York menu? They've got one, and people were ordering it all around us. I involuntarily did a quick scan for Brenda and Eddie and made a mental note to try the pizza next time I came in.
What's New On Serious Eats
The red sauce makes its best case in the eggplant involtini ($11) where it comes ladled thick, a stack of pecorino and prosciutto-stuffed eggplant nestled deeply into it. There's more olive oil than you can hope for (or want to know about), making it an instant trip to Siciliy so good that you'll probably find yourself asking for a spoon to give yourself an advantage over your table mates in getting at the sauce.
Other appetizers include some fine, tender mussels sautéed in white wine ($12), or a salad of raw shaved baby artichokes and parmesan ($13), an excellent spring salad with a fresh, bright crunchiness and just a hint of artichoke's bitter astringency.
There's a fried side to the menu, if that's the kind of mood you're in. It's got golden nuggets of egg-battered buffalo ricotta ($10) which Sam Sifton called "wonderful" and "light as a cloud" in the Times a decade ago. Mine were light, but had a bit too much color on its eggy batter, giving it a mildy sulfurous aroma. Much better is the Fritto Misto di Pesce ($13), which should really be called calamari fritti, as there's naught but a few token shrimp tossed in amongst the crisp, grease-free rings.
Make sure to add the extra buck for a side of red sauce!
The entrées are serviceable and generous, but are the least exciting part of the menu. A pounded, almond-crusted chicken cutlet the size of half a hubcap is tender and totally reasonable for its $16 price tag. The $19.50 slab of veal piccata is similarly proportioned, and comes with some excellent crunchy fried potatoes that recall the slightly crunchier version you'll find at the Spotted Pig.
Speaking of the Spotted Pig, the single best item on Celeste's menu is a near taste-alike to the Pig's signature ricotta gnudi. Celeste's ricotta and spinach ravioli is one of the rare perfect plates of pasta I've met. Ultra-wide ravioli that cuts with a firm bite but quickly melts on the tongue to reveal its gently seasoned ricotta core. The sauce is a buttery emulsion seasoned with sage and just a hint of truffle oil—a good, light touch with truffle oil is a rarity in restaurants—and it comes topped with grated pecorino.
The ravioli is a triple-dairy hit that I couldn't stop going back to, though the Vermicelli alla Vongole ($14) was a strong temptation. It takes a certain level of old world guts to serve dried pasta dressed with nothing but clam juices, garlic, and olive oil in New York city, but this is the kind of dish that feels like its been going steady since the summer of '75 and shows no signs of ever changing.
The desserts—a tender and creamy ricotta cheesecake and a fine looking tiramisu—are good, but If you've got any sense at all, you'll order the cheese plate. Served with an utter lack pretension and pomp, you will not find a finer selection of Italian cheeses anywhere in the city. Heck, I didn't even recognize the names of over half the perfectly ripe, well-rested, smuggled cheeses on my $20, ten-cheese, medium-sized plate (it also comes in small and large versions at $10 and $30, respectively).
It's not easy taking notes at the rate the Carmine speaks, but pay attention to the last bit he finishes because those are important instructions: taste the cheeses clockwise. Start with a small bite of plain cheese. Then take a second bite of cheese with a bit of the homemade compote or syrup it's paired with (every cheese has a different pairing). Think about it before moving on. There are times when you may feel rushed or jostled at Celeste, but when you've got that cheese plate in front of you, it's as if the whole restaurant knows you're not to be bothered.
It's all part of the familiar movement of a neighborhood spot that knows its customers' needs and celebrates its idiosyncrasies earnestly and without affectation. I'd never been to Celeste before a month ago, but it already feels like an old familiar place. Let's hope this one ends better than the song.

MY RIDE- Chad Chalfont: 2003 Freightliner
The one drawback of driving a Bud Light truck around a college town like Charlottesville is "everyone asks for free beer," says Chad Chalfont (right), who's been behind the wheel of the big rig for 12 years. Unlike the driver of the Red Bull truck who hands out freebies to thirsty students around campus, Halfront services paying establishments, primarily local restaurants and bars.
One major drawback of driving the 2003 16-wheel Freightliner is that parking is tricky, especially in the heavily trafficked downtown area. While Chalfont has become adept at abiding by major traffic postings along with speed limitations and parallel parking challenges, his trainee of six months, Robby Taylor (left(, who rides shotgun, still has to learn the ropes. Since the truck makes between 20 and 30 stops a day, he's sure to quench his thirst for road experience.

UFO Update
Posted by dandare on November 9, 2007
Welcome to UFO updates…
After pressure on Clinton to release files, under the FOIA, they have finally come out. In http://www.nysun.com/ (posted 9th november,2007) "Clinton library releases files on ufos". A listing of the new files can be seen at http://www.clintonlibrary.gov/textual-foia.html#0313 . The UFO information = FOIA 2006-0492-F…. (i must add this is only a list of what is on there).
(go to www.bztoons.com to use these on your website)
At wilshireandwashington.com (posted 7th november,2007) "Shirley MacLaine ""terrific"" that Kucinich Admits seeing ufo".
Shirley MacLaine shares her mind (Video from NBC- the today show).
CBS has a short video on "ufos and the white house" at
From PRWEB.com (posted 7th november,2007) "Pilots to tell their UFO stories for the first time" . The original source is from http://www.freedomofinfo.org/ (see this link for more. It will be held at the National Press Club, on the 12th november,2007, 11am.
Those to give evidence will be:
Fife Symington, Former Arizona Governor, Moderator
Ray Bowyer, Captain, Aurigny Air Services, Channel Islands
Rodrigo Bravo, Captain and Pilot for the Aviation Army of Chile
General Wilfried De Brouwer, former Deputy Chief of Staff, Belgian Air Force (Ret.)
John Callahan, Chief of Accidents and Investigations for the FAA, 1980's (Ret.)

Comandante Oscar Santa Maria, Peruvian Air Force (Ret.)
"Representatives from France, England, Belgium, Chile, Peru, Iran and the US will call for the US Government to join in an international dialogue and re-open its investigation – which the Air Force shut down over 30 years ago – in cooperation with other governments currently dealing with this unusual and controversial phenomenon" (extract from article). I hope this not alot of hype, with little substance, although those involved above, are good witnesses to ufo sightings/phenomena. We will have to see.
*** update to this (posted today) from CNN relating to this meeting "Symington: I saw a UFO in the Arizona sky"….**** Also it seems, following on from the Larry King show last night (9th november), that "……this is just to establish the fact that the phenomenon is real and it's happening worldwide" (extract from transcript of the show).
At http://www.nasa.gov/ "scientists discover record fifth planet orbiting nearby star" (posted 6th november,2007). For anybody interested (mmm, slightly on the same subject….) in meteor showers, with information and a calendar of when and where see here . To see video go here
The toowoomba chronicle mentions that " Number of UFO sightings out of this world " (posted 5th november,2007); "There is something alien in the skies around Toowoomba; the region has become a hot spot for unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and is leading the State in reported sightings" (extract from article).
From http://www.iol.co.za/ it states "Local say aliens; sceptics say beer " (posted 5th november,2007). "Nevertheless, he has heard lots of tales, for example of an Aboriginal woman who was chased by a UFO.""It is a flat disc with a blue dome. It has been sighted around Alice Springs a couple of times. It chased this lady into town. She saw it again up at Wycliffe Well,"" he said…..[.]" (extract from article).
More sightings are given in this article about Wycliffe Wells in Australia, but there are sceptical thoeries for this also ….. of the beer kind. The same thing is also commented on here .
A new UFO website dedicated to Warminster, UK has been started see here . It has a wealth of information already, and will be adding to this…. To find out what it is all about, check this site out.
At http://www.klas-tv.com/ "I-Team: Area 52, the secret sister " (posted 9th november,2007).
"Some of the greatest and most secretive airplanes in history have been developed in the Nevada desert, most of them at the now-infamous base known as Area 51. It turns out Area 51 has a sister facility — Area 52 — and it's a place with secrets of its own" (extract from article).

You can click on the image to enlarge it for study. Some of the things I noted were that there has been a year to year decrease in desktop sales, Windows notebook computers, Apple notebook computers and iPads, all at the expense, apparently, of Android tablets and partially due to the rise of Chromebooks from Google. The NPD Group website states:
"The market for personal computing devices in commercial markets continues to shift and change," said Stephen Baker, vice president of industry analysis, NPD. "New products like Chromebooks, and reimagined items like Windows tablets, are now supplementing the revitalization that iPads started in personal computing devices. It is no accident that we are seeing the fruits of this change in the commercial markets as business and institutional buyers exploit the flexibility inherent in the new range of choices now open to them."I guess my wife and I followed the yearly trend exactly as we did not upgrade any of our desktop computers but did upgrade our iPads during the year. As a result, I have seen both of us increase our usage of the iPads and that would reflect a direct reduction in the time spent on our desktop computers.
I would also note that the number of apps that are available for both Android and iOS devices have also increased. The number of genealogy apps on both platforms has increased to the point that it is impossible to even be familiar with the product offerings. Many of the programs or apps are free, but of course, you cannot use the ones synchronized with online databases without a subscription. For example, you can download the Ancestry.com app, but need an Ancestry.com subscription to connect with the online version. I also note that there are a lot of apps that come up in a search for "genealogy" in the Google Play store, that obviously have no relationship to the kind of genealogy we do.
If you are using either a desktop genealogy program or an online program and have a tablet, I suggest searching either the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store for apps that correspond to your device. You might be surprised. I would note that the Ancestry.com app and also the Shoebox app from Ancestry.com are both available for both operating systems. Also, MyHeritage.com has apps for both.
FamilySearch.org looks to third parties for apps that synchronize with its Family Tree program listed on its Product page for the Web. Mocavo.com may have made a huge inroad into supplying online source documents but has not yet entered the world of tablet apps.
I would also suggest that as you look at these apps on both Android and iOS devices that you examine the details of the program. Using Ancestry.com's app as an example, you will find almost exactly the functionality of the online program with the tablet (iPad) version of the program. You can add sources, edit entries and perform nearly every function of the online program from your tablet. In fact, I have yet to find any limitations.
Some of the tablet apps have a better interface than the desktop program and some are at least the same. In some cases, the programs on the tablets are more awkward than the desktop program merely because the developers have not adapted their views to the much smaller screens of the tablet computers. I suggest that all the developers should be working on enhancing the tablet experience and adapting their family tree layout to the way tablets work. I must also say at this point that the Ancestry.com app is a good example of how the interface should work. Where this is most apparent is in the family tree or pedigree view of the data.
Unfortunately the desktop genealogy software developers are being rather slow in adding tablet functionality. Only a very few of them have apps that can do anything other than act as a viewer of what you have in your desktop database. Two exception as an example, and there may be others, are the Families Android app that works with Legacy Family Tree and the Reunion app that works with iOS. Where the programs in general seem to break down is covering both Windows and OS X operating systems and then having the corresponding apps for both Android and iOS. Both Ancestry.com seems to have covered all four operating systems with devices that synchronize between the Ancestry.com programs on all other devices and with an online family tree. If you were to use the Heredis.com family tree, then that program would also seem to cover the bases. Likewise, MyHeritage.com has apps for both Android and iOS but is missing an Apple OS X desktop program.
I might note that if you have a desktop genealogy computer program all that you might care about is whether or not the program will synchronize with an app on your type of tablet and perhaps with some corresponding online family tree. It is important to keep all of these locations synchronized if that is how you are working.
One discussion that has been ongoing in the genealogy community is whether or not genealogists even need a desktop version of their data with the increased functionality of online family trees. Most of the desktop software developers are in the middle of that controversy and some are trying to straddle both the desktop and the online family tree world by adding a pathway to synchronize and edit data between a desktop program and an online family tree. But it appears to me that the market for online family trees is vastly larger than the market for stand alone desktop computer programs and that the companies that exploit the market for desktop program in conjunction with a large online family tree program and then add functionality to their tablet and smartphone devices essentially have all their bases covered. Without that coverage, I suggest that the other companies will ultimately be unable to compete.

King Estate Domaine Pinot Gris 2018The 2018 vintage produced stunning Pinot Gris wines from our Estate vineyard. In the glass, this Domaine Pinot Gris has a brilliant straw color. There are curious flavors of orange blossom and fresh cut pear with a backdrop of damp slate. The palate is rich and round with ripe cantaloupe and subtle notes of wild honey, violets and Bartlett pear. The fresh fruit flavors, weighty texture and bright acidity are balanced as they carry through the long finish. Enjoy now and until at least 2028.

Guildie Guest Yuda - To Wing or not to Wing? (Priest specs post part 2)
- To heal via Atonement, you had to dps a hostile target. I personally use Vuhdo addon and have target of target panel ON so that i can one click the hostile target panel which is right next to say the Tank target panel. Switching targets while healing is intense is a bit distracting and you can get too comfortable with spamming Smite when the healing is easy.
- During intense damage or AOE damage, which there tend to be alot of in Firelands, Atonement healing is not enough and too random.
- While Critical damage on a hostile target does increase your heal via Atonement, it does not proc a shield (Divine Aegis) nor does it proc Inspiration (a physical damage reduction buff). It doesn't proc Grace which is a 24% heal buff at 3 stacks.
- Remember that direct critical Heals now do 200% rather than 150%. Well, that doesn't apply to Atonement since your critical damage is 150% not 200%.
I decided it was time to research what the pros do. I went on wowprogress website and looked up discipline priests from the top guilds and here is what I found:
Minstrel Aug 1st 2011 10:13PM
Just thought I'd mention this, a macro I've found useful for atonement specs:
/castsequence [@mouseovertarget,harm,exists,nodead][@focustarget,harm,exists,nodead] reset=10 Holy Fire, Smite, Smite, Smite, Smite, Smite;[@mouseover] Heal
It's a Clique binding for me, so if you use Healbot or Vuhdo, you'd macro it as one of your click bindings. It casts Holy Fire if it's off cooldown and Smite otherwise. It attempts to cast it on the target of your mouseover target, if it's a valid target for a harmful spell. If you have a focus target (like the tank) and he/she has a target that's a valid target for a harmful spell, it will cast on that. If neither is the case, it will default to casting Heal on your mouseover target so as not to waste the mouse click. Since I view smite healing to largely be the "do when there's not more intensive healing to be done" action, I felt it was an equivalent to Heal.
The main value of this, IMO, is that it no longer makes using combat spells feel like a "different mode." You can cast Holy Fire/Smite in the same way as you cast all your other heals...by using a click-combination on a raid frame (alternatively, you can put it on your action bar if you're a mouseover key presser). That makes "weaving in" your combat spells much more seamless. To me, anyway.

We have a way to upgrade gear with Valor and Justice points now, and some BoA items start at level 85 as item level 463 gear. It occurred to me last night that we can use JPs to upgrade a BoA and then give it to an 85, or spend the old JPs you have on an alt to upgrade it.
It works!
I now have an 85 alt using a 371 main weapon. All paid for in Justice Points I was never going to use from another alt. Sneaky fun, as if a level 85 using a 463 wasn't overpowered enough already.
Happy Killing

As a mother whose child, 13-year-old Jack, does not communicate verbally, Ann Schrooten is quick to point out that there is much more to Jack than the wheelchair, trach and medical equipment that accompany him.
"It's hard to know what he would say if he could talk," says Ann, but it would probably be "Hey, I'm in here. I hear you, and I know what's going on."
"If you take the time to look into Jack's eyes," says Ann, "they will speak to you".
Looking beyond the silence and all the medical equipment goes a long way - 1500 miles in the Schrootens' case. Jack was born in St. Louis, but his family moved to Phoenix nine years ago. Despite the distance, the family travels to St. Louis from their home in Phoenix every one to two years so that Jack can receive ongoing care for a rare form of muscular dystrophy.
"These people (at St. Louis Children's) have known Jack since he was 2 months old," says Ann. "They're connected to him. Oftentimes when we meet new doctors, they can't see beyond all the medical equipment and a child who doesn't talk. But at Children's, they know Jack, they acknowledge him and they treat him with kindness and compassion."
Jack was born at Missouri Baptist Medical Center and spent the better part of his first 6 months of life in the Intensive Care Unit at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Unlike some forms of muscular dystrophy that progress over time, Jack's particular form caused muscle weakness from the beginning. He has been ventilator dependent since he was four months old and has always needed a wheelchair to get around.
Over the years, Jack has made lifetime friends throughout the hospital - from the intensive care unit to same day surgery, as well as the cardiology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, neurology and ENT departments.
Caring for Jack has been a learning experience for Ann and she is using her experience to help physicians and staff better communicate with parents who play similar roles in their children's lives.
"I was sent home with a medically fragile child and I had no choice but to learn how to care for him. If Jack requires a hospital stay, it's important to recognize that I am part of the team," says Ann.
Inviting parents to join caregivers as part of their child's medical team is common practice at St. Louis Children's, a concept known and embraced as Family Centered Care. The hospital's overall approach to medical team dynamics is what draws the Schrootens back to St. Louis for care, rather than finding new specialists in Phoenix.
"St. Louis Children's Hospital is among the top ten Childrens' hospitals in the country - it's one of the best. Plus, you can't get much better than Washington University's Neuromuscular center. But, by far, the most important thing that I find here that I can't find in Phoenix is the exceptional coordination of care for a medically complex child like Jack," says Ann.
One aspect of that coordination of care is the willingness of Jack's physicians to collaborate with one another to schedule surgical procedures at the same time so Jack only has to go under anesthesia once.
The long-term prognosis for a child with Jack's form of muscular dystrophy is not well known. The Schrootens have learned to appreciate the things that matter now - like Jack's smile.
"Jack has a great quality of life and St. Louis Children's Hospital plays a large part in helping him achieve and maintain this quality of life – for however long his life will be."

Just a quick update to my recent post detailing my experiences growing crops in my window. One month in and the plants are all looking healthy and have started producing food. I've been able to collect some royal burgundy beans, sugar snap peas, seranno peppers, cherry tomatoes, basil, sage and strawberries. Still waiting on the cucumbers, lettuce and bok choy to mature a bit.
A number of people have asked what I do about the bugs. I've found that they really aren't a big problem. I've seen some gnat-like insects, mostly around the cucumbers. The bok choy has been attacked by a couple of pests as well. My solution was two-fold. I used a small amount of garden supply anti-catapillar treatment on the bok choy which seems to help a lot. The other thing I did was to introduce ladybugs into the garden areas. I'm sure some might find this concept a bit off-putting, but it doesn't bother me at all to see the little red buggers, even when they are exploring the rest of the house. It just reminds me of all the bad insects they are eradicating.
Just for fun, I also got a pot full of Venus fly traps. Those insect-eating plants work, but a little too well. In addition to catching the gnats, they were most effective at trapping the ladybugs! Somehow THAT seemed cruel.
