text: The deadly bombing at a Turkish border crossing that killed 14 people was caught on tape by security cameras. A Syrian opposition group said Tuesday the bomb was meant for one of its delegations; but Turkish authorities say it's too early to make that conclusion. A minibus with Syrian license plates exploded when a Syrian delegation was expected to pass through the Syrian-Turkish border. But the delegation was late because of bad weather. Turkish authorities are looking for three people seen leaving the minibus right before the explosion. The vehicle was parked in the waiting area of the crossing. Two people entered Syria, one person slipped away into Tturkey. At least 28 people were also injured in the blast.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love my wedding programs! The rich purple is consistent throughout printing and matches what I saw on the screen. The printing is clean and easily read, and the font looks great in person too. I definitely took advantage of paying the extra few cents per card in order to have a more elegant edge cut on the card. I think it added a hint of "something" that gives the program extra personality and it better matches the direction I was going for. I would order these again in a heartbeat."
"Beautiful card. Used it for our milestones celebration and it was exquisite . A wonderful memento to capture the occasion. Perfect color, images and layout. Count on it to add sophistication, elegance and charm to any affair."
"Well I just recieved my order which it didn't take long to recieve I was very pleased with the work and quality of my programs which it was just one mistake but u will never know and I really appreciate the time they took out to add my wedding party to the back of the programs. I would defiantly recommend this company to all my friends. Thanks Alot love my programs!!!!"
"Colors were crisp. Design is very simple and modern. Formatting choices may be limited, but design staff willing to adjust for you after order is placed."
"My mother-in-law wanted a lot of information on our programs and this held it all. They were simple and understated but of high quality."

Team Ratings
Artur Moraes
Rarely troubled but still looked less than convincing. At fault for the Samaras goal as he failed to come for the corner.
L. Melgarejo
Was another one of the Benfica side who looked to push forward as much as possible. Helped out John in front of him and also moved into the centre of midfield when the play allowed him to do so.
Restored to the starting line-up after suspension and had a fairly quiet evening. When called upon the centre half was more than capable of putting in some sliding challenges on the wet surface. Provided a great assist for Garay's goal.
E. Garay
Was willing to sit and keep a high line in order to stop both Hooper and Samaras from getting in behind the defence. Did superbly with the volley which gave Benfica their second goal.
André Almeida
Didn't offer much going forward, but was rarely troubled by Mulgrew going the other way.
E. Salvio
Was a constant thorn in the side of Matthews, as he continually ran at the Welsh full back. Looked to get a many crosses into the box for Cardozo as he could.
E. Pérez
Wasn't as potent in the forward areas as the other two Benfica attackers, although he did have some really good link up play that allowed his side to get forward and create chances on the Celtic goal.
N. Matić
Took control of the midfield area as he battled away with Wanyama throughout the game. He also had a couple of efforts at Forster's goal, but couldn't find a way past the Celtic keeper.
Had a golden opportunity to get a goal in the second half but for Matthews' goal line clearance. Always willing to run at the Celtic defence and take players on when the opportunity arose.
O. John
Occupied the space between both Lustig and Brown, thus causing the pair problems throughout. Took his early goal smartly, directing it beyond Forster and was a constant problem to the Celtic defence.
O. Cardozo
Had a couple of chances to get in behind the Celtic defence, although despite his side having the majority of the ball he wasn't as involved as his manager would have no doubt liked. Saw two rasping strikes saved by Forster.
F. Forster
There was nothing that the English-born stopper could do about the two goals. Made a couple of superb saves from Cardozo in the second half.
C. Mulgrew
Played on the left wing and didn't look comfortable, as he was forced back throughout and couldn't offer the type of support that the front two required. Went off at half-time feeling ill to be replaced by Kayal.
A. Matthews
Had a couple of tricky moments against Salvio as he was employed on the left side of the defence once again. Made a superb goal-line clearance from Lima in the second half and managed to stay strong as Benfica continually pushed forward.
K. Wilson
Allowed Salvio's cross to get by him in the run up to the opening goal. But he managed to get beyond that error and put in yet another solid display for the Hoops, not allowing Cardozo the amount of chances he would have expected.
M. Lustig
Found John a nightmare to cope with as the Benfica midfielder stayed in the space between him and Brown thus making the Swede push forward in front of his fellow defenders and creating space for the home side to get in behind.
E. Ambrose
Was caught out on a couple of occasions by the Benfica forward line and was to blame for the second goal as Garay got in behind the Nigerian defender to volley home.
S. Brown
Still suffering from the hip injury that has been troubling him since the start of the season and it showed as he didn't offer anything on the right-hand side and wasn't his usual powerful self. Was replaced by Commons.
J. Ledley
Showed absolutely nothing for the visitors, as he couldn't get into the game in the first half when he was stationed in the centre of midfield. After Mulgrew went off he moved over to the left-hand side and was just as ineffective. Replaced by Watt.
V. Wanyama
Once again showed how important he is in the midfield area for the Hoops, evidencing his strength throughout and looking to get forward as much as possible.
G. Samaras
Was left all alone by the Benfica defence for the equaliser, but other than that the Greek frontman offered little and found the referee frustrating as he gave away numerous fouls.
G. Hooper
Had no support given to him and as such contributed little to the Celtic attack as his side were constantly on the back foot throughout.

Tim McGraw recently announced that he will head out on the Sundown Heaven Town tour beginning in May.
The over 30 city tour will kick off in Sacramento and end in Dallas.
Tim had an amazing year in 2013, and doesn't have any plans to let up in 2014. With a tour, new album coming out, and new music to hit radio airwaves soon, he has high expectations for the new year.
Although his tour schedule looks to be more southern based, we can hope he'll add some more shows for upper midwest! Check out the tour stops, and read about his new single here.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Because of regional wildfires, public health officials say the air quality is worse than when Mount Saint Helens erupted in some areas.
Places in and around Wenatchee are among the worst. Conditions are forcing many people to pack up the car and head out of town.
Some families say conditions are so bad in that part of the state that they just had to get away.
Brian and Emily Wilgus came to Spokane looking for relief with their 2-year-old daughter Sophia. They say conditions in Wenatchee are so bad that they worry about Sophia playing outside.
"It's tough being inside all the time. I'd love to go out to the park with her and let her blow off some steam and kind of have some fun. We just can't. We have to stay inside," Brian Wilgus said.
The Wright family also made a trip to Spokane this weekend. They say it's just nice to see the sky and breathe in clean air.
"Being out in the smoke really affects my lungs and I have to use my inhaler a lot lately," Cierra Wright said.
Both families are headed back to Wenatchee this week but plan to continue to travel back to Spokane often until the smoke clears.
The Wilgus family will leave Sophia with her grandparents in Spokane while they return to work. They say it's tough to leave her but they want the best for her health.

IBM® Rational® Jazz® is a new technology platform for collaborative software delivery. Uniquely attuned to global and distributed teams, Jazz is designed to transform how people work together to build software, making software delivery more collaborative, productive, and transparent. You can think of Jazz as an extensible framework that dynamically integrates and synchronizes people, processes, and assets associated with software development projects.
Jazz products are being built in a completely transparent manner on jazz.net. Jazz.net is our transparent development laboratory where you can see Jazz engineers utilizing a range of Jazz tools to build the next version of our products. Jazz.net is also the place where you can ask questions directly of the development community, submit defect and enhancement requests and track these requests through Jazz dashboards, and find out what we are planning for the next release. We invite you to join the community, download the latest software, and contribute your ideas.
The Jazz platform enables collaboration among business stakeholders, subject matter experts, and any one who plays a role in the successful delivery of software – not just software professionals. This represents a transformational leap in the value of software delivery teams because they can now make software a focal point for driving innovation across the enterprise.
Jazz is not a product. Product offerings that are built on the Jazz platform can leverage a rich set of capabilities for team-based software development and delivery. IBM Rational Team Concert™, Rational Quality Manager, Rational Requirements Composer, Rational Asset Manager and Rational Insight are the first offerings built on or significantly refactored for the Jazz platform.
- Introducing the Jazz Platform for Collaborative Software Delivery (04:47 Min.)
Learn how the IBM Rational Jazz platform makes software delivery more collaborative, transparent and productive.

What sets Jazz apart
Imagine you are part of global team of developers with offices in multiple countries spanning several time zones. Or you are part of a small, local team divided by differing work schedules or department affiliations.
In either case, you collaborate with business analysts, architects, developers, testers, lawyers, business stakeholders, and other subject matter experts separated by time, distance, or organization.
What type of infrastructure would help you do your best work both individually and as a team? The Jazz technology platform is designed to answer these needs. Products built on the Jazz platform help teams to:
Collaborate. Jazz leverages social networking capabilities to enable broader and richer participation in the software delivery process and to overcome geographic and temporal gaps in the software lifecycle. Fast and easy team onboarding gives organizations the flexibility they need to leverage business and technical talent wherever it is located.
Automate. The Jazz platform empowers teams to automate individual and team workflows throughout the software lifecycle and to standardize processes without adding overhead. Jazz products automate repetitive tasks to improve team efficiency and to reduce time-to-value
Report. The Jazz initiative is focused on delivering real-time insight into programs, projects, and resource utilization to help teams make better informed decisions and continuously measure progress against desired business outcomes.
Choose your own path. Jazz technology is built on open Web and OSGi standards and provides an open and extensible architecture designed to give you the flexibility to assemble your own software delivery platform, relying on your preferred vendors and solutions.
Jazz is architected to enable a broad range of clients. It has an open middleware interface, so you can install Jazz-based products using open source middleware, such as Tomcat™, Derby, and Jabber®; commercial middleware from IBM WebSphere®, DB2®, and Lotus®; or even third-party products from vendors, such as Oracle®
Join the Jazz Community
The Jazz technology platform is being developed using a new approach called open commercial software development. Unlike traditional commercial processes where customers have little visibility into a new product or release until it is shipped, Jazz development takes place openly at jazz.net.
You can see the development as it progresses and download builds as they are available. The benefit of this transparency is that it allows you and other customers to become part of a continuous feedback loop that drives development decisions.
By providing your feedback early and often, you can influence release direction and priorities before these decisions are locked down.
To participate in the development of Jazz and Rational Team Concert or to download early releases of Jazz products, visit jazz.net.

Heart Health Center
Key Numbers for Heart Health
We live our lives by the numbers: phone numbers, PIN numbers, stock market numbers.
But do you know the heart health numbers that could literally save your life? There are three key numbers you need -- including one surprisingly easy one that could give you a lifesaving preview of your cardiac risk.
- Your blood pressure
- Your cholesterol levels
- Your waist size
Healthy numbers mean a healthy heart. If you follow a healthy lifestyle -- eat a balanced diet, get regular exercise, and avoid smoking -- you can even turn bad numbers around.
Small changes can make a big difference, says Lori Mosca, MD, director of the Columbia Center for Heart Disease Prevention in New York City.
"For every point you raise your HDL -- that's the 'good' cholesterol -- you reduce your risk of coronary disease by 2%," she says. "So just raising HDL by five points cuts your heart disease risk by 10%!"
When measuring your heart health numbers, don't just look at where you are -- look at where you're going.
"Trend lines are important," says Mosca. "If your blood pressure is below the cutoff point for high blood pressure, that's good, but if it's been going up, it's still a concern." On the other hand, if your cholesterol is high, but on the way down, pat yourself on the back (and keep working out).
Here's a quick guide to your heart-health numbers:
1. Blood Pressure: Key to Heart Health
Your doctor tells you your blood pressure numbers, or you hear the doctors on ER shout "pressure's dropping!" Do you actually know what that means?
Blood pressure consists of two numbers. Your systolic pressure measures the pressure of blood against artery walls when the heart pumps blood out during a heartbeat, while the diastolic pressure measures the same pressure between heartbeats, when the heart fills with blood. "Both of these numbers are important," says Mosca. "Just because one is normal doesn't mean you're off the hook."
- Normal blood pressure is below 120/80.
- Pre-hypertension is 120 to 139 (systolic) and/or 80 to 89 (diastolic).
- Hypertension – also known as high blood pressure -- is 140 or higher (systolic) and 90 or higher (diastolic).
One in three adults in the U.S. -- about 74 million people -- has high blood pressure or pre-hypertension. Between 1996 and 2006, the number of deaths from high blood pressure rose by more than 48%.
2. Cholesterol: Predictor of Heart Attack
Cholesterol isn't all bad -- it's a type of fat that's actually a nutrient. But as you've probably heard, there's "good" cholesterol and "bad" cholesterol. When we measure cholesterol and blood fats, we're really talking about three different numbers: HDL, LDL, and triglycerides. They combine to give you a "lipid profile" score, but the three individual scores are most important.

Customer comments about Washable Wool Full/Queen Blanket:
I bought this for my guest room which I want to remain gender neutral. I am tired of the overly fluffy down comforter look and while I have a not-puffy down comforter on the bed for added warmth, I love the look of the wool blanket on the bottom half of the bed. Very modern. Very clean. Very high quality and nice looking!

Customer comments about Washable Wool Full/Queen Blanket:
4 stars and not 5 because it's not warm enough with sheets in the winter.
I use the product to cover the bed (not at the foot of the bed). It provides the perfect amount of warmth half of the year and makes a statement in the room.
In colder months, I'm still figuring out how to layer it with an additional blanket or comforter because I would hate to hide it underneath a layer, but I don't like how it lays across a puffy down comforter at the foot of the bed.

I love the look of this on my bed. The stripes look elegant and it is oversized to fit both eastern and California King beds nicely. I thought it would be warmer since its made of wool so would only recommend it during spring or fall.

Customer comments about Washable Wool Twin Blanket:
While a bit scratchy, for wool it's soft. It is washable and doesn't take too much effort. I love the color and thickness, it never gets too hot which i love. I normally make this my base layer and put a light blanket over it and together they are perfect. Price is a bit high, but I was hoping it was of heirloom type quality; so the cost spread over a lifetime is really nothing.

The polo neck
This nifty fashion solution is once again dominating the year's shelves. Not only do these high-necked jumpers keep you deliciously warm, but they can make a modest upper half look great, emphasizing even the smallest chest size. However, this look may be best avoided if you're very well endowed in that area, as you may come out looking a little top-heavy.
The tube scarf
The knee-length boot
After the long-reigning fashion for ankle boots and fur-lined boots, knee-lengths are once again back in the big time. Another practical solution to keeping out those chills, these also work to cover up your lower legs if you're not too happy with them. Try knee-length socks underneath so they peep out of the top of your boots for an extra layer of warmth and style.
The long jumper
Jumpers that extend way beyond the waist are covering many a shop-front mannequin this season. These are flattering for almost any body type – loose-fitting varieties hide a large waist, buttoned ones with under-tops emphasise the chest, and a carefully placed waist belt helps accentuate your curves.
The pencil skirt
Whether you're short, tall, skinny or curvy, there's sure to be a flattering trend in here for your body type. With the fashion tapped, you're free to stroll around the office, meet your friends or date online at eHarmony with more confidence.

The PHOENIX RapidFire fire-spread model was largely developed as part of the initial seven-year Bushfire CRC (2003-2010).
PHOENIX has been implemented operationally in Victoria where every reported fire is automatically simulated to see its potential spread in the next six hours, including the possible values and assets that might be affected. In addition, a grid of ignitions across the whole state is run every morning to identify the areas most at risk from fire that day. It is also being formally evaluated in NSW and South Australia.
FIRE-DST will use PHOENIX to provide landscape fire spread scenarios. The main focus of the continued development of PHOENIX within FIRE-DST is:
- to improve the feed of meteorological data including the development of a third vertical dimension, convection, to enable PHOENIX RapidFire to accurately depict fire-spotting "ember attack" ahead of the main fire-front;
- to implement a more realistic fire suppression model to capture the ways in which resources are allocated to different sectors of a fire;
- to construct advanced community expose databases (including information on buildings and people);
- to formulate advanced fire vulnerability and impact modules (chiefly residential housing) within FIRE-DST to evaluate realistic impacts and costs which can be used to inform cost/benefit analysis for a range of land management options in the bushfire environment.
Fire suppression is one of the major activities of fire agencies and it consumes a significant proportion of the fire management budget of most fire agencies. In general, fire suppression costs amount to 10's millions of dollars; in catastrophic years 100's of millions of dollars. It is an area where more resources can easily be added, but the benefit of the additional cost is not always easy to evaluate.
PHOENIX RapidFire already has a fire suppression algorithm in it that is useful in many situations, but is less realistic when areas of significant assets, such as cities, power stations, water treatment plants and the like, are located in certain sections of a fire landscape. Similarly, where there is very uneven distribution of rugged terrain or dense forest and grassland, the simple fire suppression algorithm used in PHOENIX RapidFire is less realistic. An algorithm that takes into account the types of suppression resources available, the terrain, fuels, assets and values in the potential fire area is needed.
An analysis of accessibility and suppression effectiveness could be developed to implement a smarter fire suppression algorithm. This would go some way in also dealing with the issue of the best mix of fire suppression resources (aerial, ground, mechanical, human, etc).

The Serengeti National Park of Tanzania is one of the most famous safari locations in the World as it is annually stages an amazing wildlife event known as the Great Migration.
The Serengeti eco system is one of oldest on the Planet and the essential features still exist today as they did a million years ago. The National Park is one of the oldest conservation areas covering almost 18,000 km² of rolling grassland plains, savannah, riverine forest and woodland. The area was designated a World Heritage Site in 1981 and the exceptional diverse wildlife and stunning scenery brings many visitors back time and time again.
During recurring course of the annual Great Migration it is estimated that over a million wildebeest and some 200,000 zebra move south to Tanzania's southern plains to enjoy the bounty of short rains every October and November before turning west and north after the long rains, towards the border with Kenya.
Visitors for whom witnessing the migration is the intended highlight of their safari holiday should take care to fully investigate location and month of travel to avoid disappointment. The excitement surrounding the journey of these great herds are not however confined to the crossing points of the Grumeti River or infamous Mara River as they travel on their ancient route from Tanzania into the Masai Mara Game Reserve of Kenya, although there are some excellent key vantage points close to these locations. Earlier in the year the calving of the massive herds on the historic birthing grounds further south in the Seronera Valley, before they commence their journey towards neighbouring Kenya, is also a spectacle to behold.
After calving in the early months of the year the wildebeest, zebra leave behind the short grass plains in the south, which have dried to dust in the heat and push northwards up through the western corridor in search of fresh grazing. Along their journey they are shadowed by the great predators, lion, leopard and cheetah that watch and wait for the opportunity to seize a calf by disturbing and decimating the herd formation.
The plains game has become a straggling herd numbering many thousands when they reach the Mara River in early July and despite the dangers ahead are driven by a primal instinct to cross the river to reach the sweet grasses of the Masai Mara. Even with some safety in numbers many do not make the crossing having either been taken by the big cats before they reach the river bank or by the stealthy crocodiles that have massed here to coincide with this activity.
After an eventful stay at a camp with good access to a view of the path of the Great Migration you may wish to continue your safari by visiting some of northern Tanzania's other superb wildlife areas such as Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park or the Ngorongoro Conservation Area which is home to the Ngoronogoro Crater. Following the heat and dust of a game viewing safari the palm fringed beaches and cooling breezes blowing off the Indian Ocean may beckon and a stay on the coast or Zanzibar will complete a wonderful Tanzanian holiday.

This is no watered down poncho!
Youre out on a 5-day hike, loaded up like a Sherpa, when suddenly the sky opens and starts dumping buckets. Good thing you got a Snugpak Patrol Rain Poncho. Its made of ripstop, breathable, 100% waterproof Paratex dry fabric, and large enough to fit over both you and a fully stuffed backpack. Adjustable hood keeps the rain out of your eyes, and thumb loops prevent sleeves from riding up. Handy pocket on the chest with hook-and-loop closure storm flap keeps your smartphone and maps dry. Get one today and never again suffer through a night in a soggy sleeping bag.

Best Uses
Had a chance to actually use this before I started the Camino. Good coverage of me and my pack. I''m 5'11 and it falls with pack on to the knees. Has a zippered neck that allow access to shirt pocket and a really good drawstring head cover with side shields. The only thing I would add is a drawstring to the bottom edge.

Concierge Deck 10.Spacious, good storage space, fine bathroom.Small table, not for dining, no lounger
Beautifully appointed cabins with a joining balconies. Great beds! best sleep in a long time! Pillows and comforter was great. The room was always clean!
Having sailed on Regent, we were told that our cabin would be smaller. We had a veranda cabin and it was smaller than a veranda on Regent. Our cabin was nicely decorated and we had plenty of room to store our belongings. The 2 big differences I noticed were no walk-in closet and the bathroom was smaller with only 1 sink. We enjoyed our cabin and did not find the reduced space an issue. Alena and her coworkers kept our cabin spotless and met any request with a smile.
The best standard balcony cabin we have ever enjoyed.
Generous walk in closet, amazing balcony and views, large master bathroom, second 3/4 bath, comfortable bed, quiet location.

Alcoa saves the day
Right now, the aluminum giant could take on the world's woes and win.
Alcoa (AA) against the world! Alcoa against 6% Spanish bond yields! Alcoa against the doubling of short-term Italian bill rates! Alcoa against Chinese inflation!
Can one company take on all of these forces of evil? One endlessly disappointing metals fabricator?
Well, kind of, yes.
Because we live in an odd serial world, one in which the last voice frequently wins.
And that last voice, that of Klaus Kleinfeld -- he, the honest, self-deprecating, worldly and, at times, just plain hilarious CEO of Alcoa -- is pretty darned persuasive.
Of course, on Wednesday he was helped by word from the ECB that all of those Spanish bonds bought patriotically by large Spanish banks won't fall by the wayside. Nor will the banks. It does take some guts of the German puppet masters to tell the Spanish to clean up their house without any incentives for growth and then tell their banks to take a hike. Good to see some justice over there on some issue other than the carbon tax. (It always helps when Deutsche Bank upgrades No. 2 Spanish bank Banco Bilbao, as it did Wednesday morning.)
Related Articles
But Klaus did a ton on his own. He made it clear that engineered products across the board -- Alcoa's bread and butter -- are doing quite well with good margins. That's clear from the fact that the company made money on the downstream even as raw costs remain high because of energy and labor, both of which are coming down. I knew someone would seize on the recent weakness in oil, and Klaus sure did.
- Aerospace is going to exceed growth plans with eight years of plane orders from Boeing (BA) and Airbus on the horizon. That's 8,400 aircraft on backlog with the likes of the A320 and B737 being all aluminum. We are now talking about a 13% to 14% increase in that aluminum business, which includes the dominant fastener biz (screws). Plus the business jet business, hurt so badly by President Barack Obama's critical, some would say reckless, comments, seems to be coming back.
- Auto growth is 12% in North America, up from 7%, which offsets the 8.3% decline in Europe and is augmented by China's single-digit growth. With oil prices so high, Klaus says, "lightweighting is the name of the game."
- Trucks are up 65%, even as there are some recent slowing and a reduction in backlog. Worth watching but definitely robust, even in China. Europe is down single digits.
- Beverage cans up 2% to 3%, slightly better than the industry itself.
- Industrial turbines up 1% to 2% but getting much stronger of late.
- Consumer electronics remain strong, which is, wink-wink, Apple (AAPL). That's part of what Klaus calls the "aluminizing" of a whole sector, in part because of green desires -- remember, 75% of all aluminum is still in use because of recycling.
The only weakness remains nonresidential construction, and that is truly worrisome, because that's where banks make money, particularly in the U.S. But that could be a tailwind with any help in U.S. confidence, because we haven't built anything in years in this country. We are in "no crane" territory in most urban areas.
How about my biggest worry, an increase in Chinese capacity? Klaus painstakingly went over how the Chinese simply can't pull off the expansion plans. There's not enough water -- aluminum smelting requires a ton -- where the cheap coal is. Add higher bauxite costs from Indonesia; that's the chatter about how mining exports should be taxed higher. He says it's just not an efficient way for the party to put people to work.
So Alcoa against the world? In the morning, Alcoa wins.
The afternoon is another day!

High Speed Photography
This weekend was the first time that I attempted high speed photography. I have been looking into the idea for a long time but most ways to take high speed photography require homemade or very expensive pre-built audio/ laser sensors. Carter Kegelman had a great alternative, Pocket Wizards, which would trigger both the flash and camera to freeze the action. We used Nikon flash units connected to Pocket Wizards and a TTL cable with the flash units turned down and placed very close to the glass so they could fire repeatedly. I used my camera to take stills for the time-lapse clip showing our setup and high speed photography success.
UPDATE: If you want another way to take high speed photographs take a look at some awesome work by Chase Jarvis.
UPDATE: You can read more about the technical details and view more photos on Carter Kegelman's Blog.

I served this indulgent chocolate dessert for tea time this week. What I like most about it was that it's gluten free, made with almond meal and the texture was so moist. I topped the individual cakes with toffee salted caramel chocolate frosting and a garnish of crushed almond brittle.
This week has gone by ridiculously fast! I'm planning on baking a lot this weekend for our weekly family brunch and will share the recipes this upcoming week. Relax and spend as much time as you can with your loved ones. Life is short. Hug them, tell them you love them and give extra attention to the ones who love you most!
This elegant chocolate dessert might seem complicated but it really wasn't. First I prepared a cardamom-flavored chocolate mousse. The mousse required very few ingredients: milk, whipping cream, butter, sugar and of course cardamom and chocolate (the stars of this sweet treat!). You'll notice no eggs were used in this step.
The second step is the meringue cookie topping. You can prepare the meringues way in advance and assemble the dessert at the last minute. The meringues provided a nice contrast of texture against the velvety chocolate mousse, as well a striking contrast of color.
This week has gone by so fast. And it's already that time of the week when I share another dessert recipe with you. I prepared a French dessert I make often during the winter season because it doesn't require any fruit. I simply raided my pantry and used vanilla beans, instant coffee and Kahlúa, which is a coffee-flavored, rum-based liqueur. Yes, you probably already guessed it; I prepared pot de creme.
I love how easy and simple they are to make. The texture is velvety and lightly sweetened. In my opinion, pots de crème are the quintessential representation of decadence one can find in French desserts.
I make crêpes very often. I've done it so many times since I was a kid that I bet I could prepare this batter with my eyes closed. The only difference in today's recipe is that I made them thicker and fluffier. A crêpe soufflée is basically a regular crêpe batter folded with egg whites. This couldn't be easier!
I flavored the dessert with fig spread, fresh figs and a dollop of whipped cream. To provide a great contrast of texture, I sprinkle crushed honey-roasted peanuts on top. Give this simple French sweet treat a try; I promise you'll be in heavenly dessert bliss!

The Daily Scoop: Cinnamon Toast Ice Cream
Well, Ice Cream Month is officially underway, and our contest got kicked off today as well. (Did you see those Sur La Table prizes yet?) To celebrate, here's today's installment of the Daily Scoop - a very breakfasty ice cream.
This is a basic egg-yolk-enriched ice cream with a twist: cinnamon croutons get stirred in too for an authentic cinnamon toast crunchiness.
The Gourmet editors said that they were astonished at how well the little bits of toast stayed crunchy and cinnamony in the middle of the creamy ice cream. All the reviews bear them out; it sounds like this is a sweet, creamy ice cream that actually tastes like buttery cinnamon toast. Yum!

Sounds delish and original!! I'll try it for sure. But for now, I'm very happy with the blueberry ice cream I made yesterday. With a sprinkle of cocoa on top, it's simply divine.
Check it out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/allabouteve/2728843941/
Surreal. I actually made a similar ice cream, except with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Ended up being so yummy.
This sounds amazing! Can I make ice cream without an ice cream maker?
I loveeee putting Cinnamon Toast Crunch on vanilla ice cream too!

I would say yes, except last night four of my guildies and I on our poorly geared alts were doing a random. Our tank had to go afk (and posted this afk in party chat) for a moment getting into the dungeon, but the fifth (some random rogue) didn't like that, and threw tricks-of-the-trade on the tank and pulled anyway, wiping the group, killing himself, the tank, and everyone but me who just stepped out of the dungeon. This rogue did it again later in the dungeon, but instead decided we should take this group of mobs while the tank was already pulling another set. The rogue pull went bad pulling two sets of mobs. So in total we had three sets of mobs running around, wiping us again. At this point we could finally kick the rogue.
So in short, the go joke, while over done, will always apply to WoW as long as we have players that act like that.

Businesses to benefit from National Insurance tax break
Tax burden a 'serious issue' for start-ups
Business start-ups in the UK could benefit from national insurance (NI) 'holiday' on employers NI contributions
The launch of the government's 'Regional Employer NICs Holiday for New Businesses' scheme would see small businesses outside of London and the South East receive a NI tax break for the first 10 employees hired in the first years of business. The break would last for the first 52 weeks of employment.
The Forum of Private Business (FPB) has welcomed the news, saying that this will help ease the burden on small businesses after years of increasing taxation. However, they also say that the government needs to introduce further measures to help businesses.
Chief Executive Phil Orford said "However, if the Government is serious about creating conditions for real economic recovery based on strong small business growth, it needs to introduce even bolder tax policies."
According to the Forum's Tax and Budget member panel, more than two-thirds of small and medium business owners believe the tax burden placed on them in unfair. 45% of respondents to a recent survey said their tax burden was a 'very serious' issue for their firms.
In addition, 13% of owners said they want to see the tax system reformed to make the UK more competitive internationally.
The scheme is open to new businesses set up on or after 22 June 2010 and will run until September 2013.
Orford added: "Given the significant threats to cash flow and business growth from issues such as a lack of bank finance and increasing late payments, recruitment is likely to be slow during the first 12 months for many new firms. The scheme should be available for a longer period than just the first year they are in business."

Divorce is down as weddings are up
AS YOU start your new year as a resident of this fine continent, you need to know what's typical -- either because you take pride in being like most other Australians, or because you celebrate being different from most other Australians.
So here's a guide to the way we were in 2011, according to the Bureau of Statistics, enabling you to stay normal (or proudly abnormal) until the latest census results are released in June.
How we mate. Marriage is so hot right now that the gays want to jump on the bandwagon. The 121,176 weddings in 2010 represented the highest annual figure ever registered, and was a jump of 18 per cent on 2001, when formal couplings were decidedly unfashionable.
The boom is over, but they keep coming Photo: Peter Stoop
But we don't rush into it – a wicked 74 per cent of couples live in sin before they put a ring on it. This "try before you buy" policy may explain why the number of divorces in 2010 (50,240) was 10 per cent down on 2001.
Some 53 per cent of Australian adults are currently married, with another 11 per cent declaring they are in a "de facto" marriage.
But we're reproducing less. The baby boom of the early Noughties has gone off the boil, with a drop in the birth rate (to 1.89 babies per average woman, down from 1.96 in 2008 and from 3.5 in 1961). Of the 297,000 births in 2010, 34 per cent were to naughty unmarried couples.
How we feel. Some 84 per cent of people aged over 17 rate their health as excellent, very good, or good, with only 17 per cent rating their health as fair or poor. But 40 per cent (6.8 million) self-assess themselves as having some form of disability or long-term health condition.
A few more stats on our state of mind: 43 per cent say they are pleased or delighted with their life and a further 34 per cent are "mostly satisfied"; 80 per agree cent agree with the statement "It is a good thing for a society to be made up of people from different cultures"; 85 per cent say they feel safe or very safe at home alone after dark, while 48 per cent reported feeling safe or very safe walking alone in their local area at night.
How we drop off. There were 143, 473 deaths in 2010. Of the ones certified by doctors (as opposed to coroners, who investigate murders and suicides), 34 per cent were from cancer, 31 per cent from diseases of the heart and blood vessels, 10 per cent from diseases of the respiratory system, and 5 per cent from "mental and behavioural disorders".
Australia's life expectancy (currently 79.5 years for men and 84 for women) is improving every year and is beaten only by Japan and Switzerland. What can we learn from those countries to stretch our span? Eat more raw fish and hold more referendums? Kill more whales and eat more cheese?
You have just read the Who We Are column, by David Dale. It appears in printed form every second Sunday in The Sun-Herald, and also as a blog on this website, where it welcomes your comments.

Three Reasons to Buy Caterpillar
Andrés is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Shares of Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) had a lackluster year in 2012, mostly due to investor's concerns about the slowing Chinese economy and its possible effects on the demand for heavy infrastructure equipment manufactured by the company. But things are looking much better in 2013, so maybe it's time to grab some Caterpillar shares while they are still available for a cheap price.
1. Chinese recovery
The slowdown in China was one of the biggest economic stories of 2012, but the Asian giant seems to be leaving economic weakness behind, as recent data has been showing very encouraging signs over the last several months. The recently published HSBC Chinese purchasing managers' index, or PMI, was the latest data point supporting the acceleration thesis by rising to a 19-month high of 51.5 in December.
Even better, a new $157 billion infrastructure plan announced last year will have positive effects for the company in 2013. When the plan was announced in September, Richard Lavin, who oversees Caterpillar's China business, told Reuters:
"Roads, bridges, airports, sewage systems, energy - all of these are areas that we play in, it's the core of our business. I think we can expect a fairly broad and significant impact across our business."
The Chinese slowdown, which was a serious concern for Caterpillar investors in 2012, is already becoming a thing of the past, and the new infrastructure plan will not only provide more impulse for the economy, it will also be a big tailwind for the company's business in the country.
2. US construction rebound
Caterpillar has an undisputed leadership position in the US construction machinery industry; its extensive national dealer network and reputation for quality are key competitive advantages in an industry in which avoiding downtime and other complications is a critical factor.
Construction has taken a big hit after the credit crisis in 2008-2008, but has now definitely reached a bottom and has plenty of upside room in the middle and long term. As we can see from the chart published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, construction moves in long term cycles, and current levels are still historically low, so Caterpillar should be a clear beneficiary from higher construction demand over the next years.
3. Fair valuation
When compared against other companies in the same industry like Deere (NYSE: DE), CNH (NYSE: CNH) and Joy Global (NYSE: JOY), Caterpillar trades at a similar P/E ratio to that of its competitors, barely below 10. But it has the highest expected growth rate in the group with an average expected increase of 14% annually in earnings per share over the next five years. This produces the lowest PEG ratio – P/E adjusted by growth expectations – in the group at 0.7.
From a historical perspective, the current P/E ratio looks fairly cheap too. Except for the last recession, the stock has usually traded at higher valuation multiples.
Bottom line
Because of its exposure to the Chinese recovery, a dominant position in the US construction business and a fairly attractive valuation, Caterpillar looks ready to dig out some profits for your portfolio in the middle term.
