Shock! Google buys Nik Software (makers of Snapseed, Capture NX2, Viveza, etc)
I don't know if they planned it to coincide with the Photokina trade show (see big box at the top of the blog for all the updates), but Google has made a big announcement in the world of digital imaging, especially mobile photography. They have purchased Nik Software, the makers of the popular app Snapseed (iTunes) along with a number of other digital imaging desktop software (Capture NX2, Viveza, Color Efex, etc).
Details at The Verge and Venture Beat et al. (via the Twitter stream). More via Techmeme.
Needless to say, the speculation is that this was triggered by the purchase of Instagram by Facebook. As you may recall recalling, Google also bought Picasa a while back and more recently they bought Picnic. Google buys a lot of companies! See most of them in the left sidebar at AOL Crunchbase.
Hmmm, is that why Snapseed was offered as the free app of the week a few weeks ago at iTunes? :-)

Denis Wick Flugelhorn Mouthpiece in GoldVery deep cup. These mouthpieces give particularly rich and beautiful tone to the flugelhorn.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I have been a Wick fan ever since I purchased the 4FL about 1 year ago....a truly distinct sound. I was having a bit of trouble with the upper register with the 4FL so I bought the 2BFL as it is stated to be a bit less deep than the 4FL. To my great surprise the 2BFL is to the eye and feel the same depth as the 4FL, the cup is a bit narrower but still gives that great Wick tone. This piece is a pleasure to play and has extended my range to where I want it, nice tone up to about high C, without any loss of that deep, dark flugelhorn sound. I am very pleased with this purchase and I have used this mouthpiece exclusively since I purchased it. In addition the price on this site is the absolute best price out there. A great product at an amazing price.
I have an Amati AFH 601S flugelhorn which sounded decent with the stock Amati 1&1/2 mouthpiece. I purchased a 2BFL and I was absolutely blown away with the beautiful dark tone after playing just 1 note. I'm a guy that's hard to please and even harder to impress. I honestly could not believe my ears. The tone was sweet and rich. This mouthpiece made my horn sound like a completely different instrument. I kept switching mouthpieces to see if I was just imagining it. I tried 5 other mouthpieces and when I switched back to the Denis Wick I was amazed at the difference. Best investment I've ever made for sound quality. Range from low pedal G all the way up to double high G have great tone, slotting, and intonation. Literally like night and day compared to any other mouthpiece I've ever tried. I also like the comfort the gold plating adds.
I'm just a casual player...not professional or expert by any means. I bought a Jupiter flugel just to add to my band gigs. The stock Jupiter mpc , I thought, was fine. But I kept hearing a better mpc will really enhance the horn. I decided to try a Wick gold 4FL. WOW !! The first note I blew with it sounded so much warmer..really brought out that dark flugel sound I love. I kept switching mpc's back/forth to see if I was just imagining it...I couldn't belive the difference in sound. The 4FL gold is a great mpc for flugelhorn. I'm thrilled with it.
I bought the 2FL mouthpiece with my flugelhorn a while ago and found out that I would never need a new mouthpiece! The deep cup just helps make the tone more and more beautiful. Anybody that buys a flugelhorn should buy a Denis Wick mouthpiece with it!
I'm very,very happy with the 2BFL :large throat hole; just the right dim. of the bowl & shank; comfortable as well as nice gold plated appearance. which adds greatly to my playing: easy blowing (marked reduction in back pressure) enhanced sound; offers greater flexability as well as range in both directions. And I just enjoy so much that with this "piece" I'm able to really project great volume as well as play very quitely with ease. Thank you,Thank you so much!!

Product Description1100 lumens of light, a hair over 100g, and it's self-contained. Heavy bragging rights there, for Exposure's Diablo Mk5 Light and reasons for competitive 24hr racers and KOM terrorists alike to consider this torch. If you've ever snagged a power cord and had a singletrack tunnel go dark or would...
Mtbr Bike Lights Shootout - over 50 bike lights reviewed, photographed and measured here.
Exposure Diablo Mk4 Pro Review
The Diablo is now in its fourth edition as it claims 1100 Lumens with a run time of one hour. It is still the light with the most polished construction and most functional helmet mount. However, it is under attack from a whole host of self-contained lights that exhibit longer run times and bigger beam patterns. The Diablo is still tops in brightness with a measured 920 Lumens but it's also the most expensive one at $299. Continue reading →

User Reviews
Date Reviewed: December 15, 2012
Strengths: MK2
Very Bright focused beam
Helmet mount is awesome, easy to snap in and adjust
Piggy Back available to extend battery life
Very high quality build.
Weaknesses: Short run time on Bright
Medium setting is Much lower
If you ride in the Heat (Arizona) in the summer this light will overheat and kick down to medium and back, the constant change is annoying. Temps were always above 90F sometimes over 100F. When I called they suggested to run on medium, said it was designed in colder climates.
Charger is super cheap and had to replace to (which they did quickly)
Bottom Line:
Works best as a headlight with a wider pattern handlebar mount.

Bottom Line:
Really love the build quality (CNC'ed body), and the reliable and adaptable ball joint helmet mount. Spreads a lot of light where you need it, easy to operate.
The initial is very complete: comes in a well designed box with charger, safety cord, very practical ball joint helmet mount with different lenghth screws (for different helmets).
You can extend battery life with one of the 'piggy bag' external batteries (not included).
Recommended for commuting and serious mountainbiking alike.
Can be used as a handheld torch as well.

Price Paid: $295.00
Purchased At: Peerkes Bikeshop (LB
Similar Products Used: Only handlebar lights
Bike Setup: Multiple
Date Reviewed: December 14, 2011
Strengths: It's light enough to not be noticeable, longest ride was 1.5hrs with it mounted.
Simple mount and all-in-one design
Medium setting is bright enough to use on single track, it was actually preferable compared to high on dense single track when leaves were still on the plants.
Water resistant enough to ride in continuous Oregon rain.
Weaknesses: The switch... it's contact is not good at all, especially if you're riding in the cold or wet. I need to press really hard on it which is annoying with a glove and when it's on your head.
Flashing mode is ridiculously bright then dim so you will distract yourself and probably get a lot of negative attention - I've never used the flashing mode in public.
The mount is wearing to the point where the light will shift to a different angle when under enough acceleration from hitting a bump.
No indication as to what capacity the battery is at when using computer to charge.
Product service is awful at Exposure, they didn't get back to me when I asked them a simple question - granted it was e-mail but they should have responded.
Life at full charge is not long enough.
Only comes with UK plug for charging.
Lanyard isn't really a lanyard, more of a loop - as you can see in the review vid from 2011 the lanyard still doesn't fit over your head...

Similar Products Used: None, rode with people who had magic shines and didn't really notice a difference however they were saying they wish whey had something on their helmet. I definitely would have liked a light on my handlebars at times though.
Bike Setup: XC and road bike, both pretty much stock - I use it to commute and it's great but even when I commute the mount could be more resistive to movement because hitting unexpected holes will shift the beam's position.
Date Reviewed: December 2, 2011
Strengths: Small, light, build quality, great output, simplicity, no wires
Weaknesses: Battery is not user replaceable!! No clear consistent statement from Exposure how much it will cost to replace the battery.
Bottom Line:
Exposure needs to come out and clearly tell buyers what the battery replacement cost/policy is.

Price Paid: $270.00

Date Reviewed: October 24, 2011
Strengths: Superb engineering, design and light output
Weaknesses: Relatively short burn time on high setting
Bottom Line:
Given its small size, I was shocked that the Diablo Mark 3 (2012 model) light output on high is 975 vs. 720 lumens for my Enduro MAXX which is 3 years old. Both use 3 LED emitters. These guys keep innovating.
Get a piggyback battery if you want to use high power setting for extended periods, but using medium will give you 3+ hours and still be plenty bright for technical singletrack.
Why put up with wires, battery packs and inferior performance when you can get a light that could have been designed by Steve Jobs. Exposure Lights are that good.

Strengths: Lightweight, beam pattern is excellent, helmet mount is the best I've ever used
Weaknesses: Handlebar mount is awful. Also, only 1 hour runtime on high.
Bottom Line:
The beam pattern is just right: not too tight, but not floody either.
Also, because it is such a little gem you can put it in your pocket/backpack without even noticing it's there: take it with you to walk the dog, caving, canoeing... also comes handy in case of a power outage ;-)
Be sure to get the "2011" version which has three XPGs, not the older "2010" with the P7 emitter and the boom reflector. The 2011 version is called "Exposure Diablo Mk2".

Strengths: bright, compact, well built, extremely versatile.
Weaknesses: amber light looks like red light, making it hard to tell when you are REALLY running out of battery power, short battery life
Bottom Line:
This is my favorite bike light by far. The small, all-in-one unit puts out a LOT of light, brighter than my old HID and with a better beam pattern than my MagicShine 900 (which has a brighter, but smaller spot and less useful spill of light around it). Its really unbelievable considering how small it is. I find this light to be great when I go out late in the afternoon and end up staying out past dark... and I'm pretty busy with work so this happens to me on almost every ride these days. Its bright enough on full power for high speed riding on the road, and its light and small so it doesn't slow you down any.
It is also, I would say the ideal commuter light. On full power you will get noticed by EVERY driver when fighting it out in heavy traffic. On the bike path you pretty much have to run it on low so as not to blind oncoming trail users. My wife used it all this last winter for commuting (I work at home), and in the dead of winter its dark here for both for her morning and afternoon 30-minute commute. Even with some detours for Christmas shopping and other errands it would last her through the week and then she'd charge it up over the weekend. Its small size makes it easy to take off when you park the bike and put in a pocket until its needed again.
We also use it as a super-powered mini-flashlight at times, and I think it could be a great light for a bike tourist to take on the road with them for all-around use.
The user interface is very easy to use, MUCH better than the PIA interface of my MagicShine light.
Sure, its short battery life (about 1.25 hours in my experience) hampers it as a primary light for long off-road night rides, you can compensate for this with the purchase of one of their battery packs. One minor quibble is that though the helmet mount is sturdy, you do need tools to install it and I am often in a hurry with daylight fading when I am installing it. I would think a minor re-design could make this a tool-free mount for fast installation.
This light is definitely worth the money, with uses ranging from a super-commuting light, to saving my butt on evening rides that go to long, or a small, high-powered back-up light along side a primary night-riding system... or even a fashlight, we are constantly using this light, and loving it.

Strengths: Lightweight, build quality, beam penetration and spread, battery level indicator. You can expand the battery to triple the life with an external pack.
Weaknesses: On max it only lasts an hour. Up to 3 hours on high though.
Bottom Line:
You need a light that you can depend on and this is one of those products. Yes it may be expensive, but what price do you put on your safety when you are on a night ride.
If the bottom line is would you recommend this to a mate then the answer is a resounding YES.

Bottom Line:
I bought the 1 cell piggyback to be extra confident I'd ride out with my own light and I've yet to have the batt indicator show less than 'green' even after 2.5 hour rides with liberal use of full blast. With anything else I've used, 2 hours and you're on borrowed time.

A suspect wanted in connection to at least two stole vehicles was arrested with two magazines full of bullets in his pocket and over 600 rounds of ammunition in his home. Pinal County Sheriff's deputies say Zeppelin Anderson has been wanted for at least two stolen vehicles since Oct. 15. Detectives went to his home on Oct. 16 looking for him and heard a loud noise coming from a shed in the backyard. Anderson allegedly tried to sneak out of the shed and walk away, but was caught by detectives. At first, deputies say Anderson lied about who he was, but he was recognized and taken into custody. Detectives found two fully loaded 45 caliber magazines in his pants pocket. Anderson allegedly admitted he is a "prohibited possessor" and isn't allowed to own a firearm. According to detectives, Anderson told them he borrowed a gun from a friends to go shooting, gave the gun back, but forgot about the magazines of bullets in his pockets.He also admitted to the alleged vehicle thefts. Detectives got a search warrant and found 627 live ammunition rounds inside his home. Anderson was booked into the Pinal County Jail for misconduct involving a weapon, theft of means of transportation and possession of stolen property.

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) - Overview
At first, the symptoms of bird flu can be the same as common flu symptoms, such as:
- A fever.
- A cough.
- A sore throat.
- Muscle aches.
Bird flu may also cause an eye infection (conjunctivitis).
But bird flu can quickly progress to pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome, a serious lung problem that can be deadly. For the people who die from bird flu, the average length of time from the start of symptoms until death is 9 to 10 days.1
Call your doctor right away if you have traveled somewhere or live in an area where there is bird flu and you have a fever and a hard time breathing.
How is bird flu diagnosed and treated?
If your doctor thinks that you may have bird flu, he or she will do a physical exam and ask you questions about your symptoms and past health. Your doctor will also ask where you live, where you have traveled recently, and if you have been near any birds. Then your doctor may order blood tests, nasal swabs, or other tests, such as X-rays, to help find out what is making you sick.
Some questions your doctor might ask are:
- Have you been within 3 ft (1 m) of live, sick, or dead poultry, or with wild birds?
- Have you eaten raw or poorly cooked poultry or eggs?
- Have you had close contact (touching or speaking distance) with someone from an area affected with H5N1 bird flu virus who has a severe respiratory illness or who later died from an unknown cause?
- Are you a lab or poultry worker who might have been exposed to H5N1 bird flu virus?
How bird flu is treated depends on what the virus is doing to your body. In some cases, antiviral medicines may help you feel better. But experts are concerned that certain antiviral medicines may not work against bird flu. Viruses become resistant when they change over time, and then the medicines that worked in the past no longer work well.
If you have bird flu, you will stay in a private hospital room (isolation room) to reduce the chances of spreading the virus to others. When your doctors and nurses are caring for you, they will wear gloves and gowns. Some people who have bird flu may need a machine called a ventilator to help them breathe better. Other people may need a machine to help the kidneys work better (dialysis). More than half of the time, bird flu leads to death.
How can bird flu be prevented?
The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are preparing for the possibility that bird flu could spread to people all over the world in what is called a pandemic. In 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first vaccine for humans against bird flu. Immunization is not currently recommended for the public. The vaccine will be kept in the U.S. government stockpile.2 Officials are also storing up large supplies of antiviral medicines. The U.S. government has also developed a flu plan. This is a plan to prepare for a pandemic and to make sure that as few people as possible get the virus.

Good Questions: Similar Coffee Table?
Dear AT, I've been on the hunt for my ideal coffee table and just found it in the Dec/Jan '08 issue of Domino Magazine. Only, I loaded the slide show to find out that the table is vintage, and the magazine sourced it themselves. There's no info given for either the designer or the name of the table. I've been searching far and wide for just such an animal: I'm in love with the frosted glass (with storage shelf!), blond wood and elegant design. Does anyone out there recognize this table? I'd like to begin a quest for another vintage edition or it, but don't know where to begin...Thanks! Carrie
Carrie, we think this might be brass (and not blond wood). Anyone have any suggestions for similar tables for Carrie?
7 Comments
I'm not seeing blond wood - I just see Stainless Steel and frosted glass...
...but this table is similar - and you could have some frosted or backpainted glass cut for the top and shelves:
i'm seeing brass too. if you can't find it or something similar you can probably have one made pretty easily.
I agree with everyone who is seeing brass. The metal looks aged. You can try searching local used/furniture or antique shops. Maybe Ebay? Good luck in your search!
I'm with everyone else, it's definitely not wood. I too see my metal. Check out Desiron's alternative, Terra Cocktail (rust frame with clear glass top; $1,900): http://www.desiron.com/product.php?cat_id=2&s_cat_id=8&p_id=41
Desiron custom builds it's furniture...thus, if you have a size requirement, I'm sure they could match it. They are anchored in New York and now have a showroom out here in California (Los Angeles).
Good luck!
Brass has made a comeback in recent years, but it hasn't really hit with the masses (this is not meant to be elitist, but by "masses" I mean people who are buying from Pottery Barn).
This is good news for you. Look for a vintage table. Brass items are readily available at Goodwills across the nation! Most people are not clamoring for this stuff. Yes, it will take some time to find just the right thing. But you will.
And you can always put frosted glass in it. It won't come that way.
Martha Stewart's collection for Bernhardt used to have a table very similar. It doesn't look like she makes it anymore but here is what it looked like.
I see a lot of polished brass, but not much of the brushed or honed brass shown above.

Keeping Your Money Underneath the Mattress…Wallet
Banks are still failing left and right, wages are dropping and layoffs are an ugly monster that has reared its head in many households (our own included). One wonders if the old timey practice of saving money under the mattress is the best bet. Designers Steve Cullen and Peter Trueblood inject a bit of levity into these uncertain times with their wallet+mattress design...
The Mattress Wallet allows anyone to stow away their hard earned cash where it's safe: under your own moneymaker. The wallet is made with the same materials as a real mattress, with up to 5mm of padding on each side, and slots for all those credit cards you should be putting on hiatus. One wonders if one could use this as a makeshift pillow if hard times become even harder.

The benefit is, nginx only takes 2MB of computer memory, which is much more friendly for desktop environment.

well- I took the leap to day and ordered a Canon Xsi 450D from QVC-it was a little more, but I get to have 4 months to pay for it-I am still taking deep breaths-it was nearly as much as my laptop!!! But I love taking pics-so what the heck-I am teaching an extra class this year-so at least I am spending the money on things I love! Before the bugdet it slashed for next year!
For that kind of money...I'd go with the Nikon dSLR sold at Costco (I think it is the D60). Kodak has such a 'complicated' download procedure (youngest kid has an easyshare m753 and I cuss everytime I have to download his photos through their software rather than Bridge). Plus battery problems. Haven't looked at Kodak in years...so I'd reccomend going with Cannon or Nikon.
Ok-I checked out Costco and I saw the Nikon 6 megapixel and it was a bit less than the Canon-but the Canon 12 mega was much less than the Nikon-so much info!

In response to President Bush's challenge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, fifteen U.S. companies along with the International Magnesium Association (IMA) have voluntarily committed to eliminate SF6 emissions by 2010. This commitment builds on the efforts of the SF6 Emission Reduction Partnership for the Magnesium Industry, a partnership program that EPA has had with the industry since 1999. These industry leaders represent 100% of domestic primary magnesium production and 90% of U.S. magnesium casting capacity. In addition, the IMA's members operate on five continents and represent 80% of the global magnesium industry.
The magnesium industry commonly uses a potent and long-lived greenhouse gas, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), to protect the molten metal against oxidation and potentially violent burning. If released to the atmosphere, SF6 will persist for 3,200 years and is more than 23,000 times as strong a global warming gas as carbon dioxide (CO2).

I received an interesting email from a Canucks fan named Erin yesterday, she's trying hard to convince her non-hockey fan of a roommate to cheer for the Vancouver Canucks and she had a couple of questions.
One query in particular caught my attention and the answer may be part of the reason the Canucks are clawing their way back into the Western Conference Quarter-Final.
From Erin: Yesterday Kevin Bieksa tweeted, "Good re-group day today for the boys! Lots of team bonding….Got these guys right where we want them!!" Do you know what they would do on their day off? Obviously Booth and Rome ate breakfast together, but do you know what anyone else did? My roommate thought they should go to Disney Land or the beach.
Disneyland wasn't in the plans, but time at the beach certainly was.
Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault gave his team this past Monday off to clear their heads and the players took him up on that.
Hockey, and the most epic comeback in franchise history, were not the focus; Roberto Luongo and Alex Burrows rented bikes and made their way through Venice Beach, Mason Raymond and Kevin Bieksa did some shopping, and a group of Canucks, 10 to be exact, made their way down to the beach to play an intense game of volleyball.
I wasn't there, neither was photographer Jeff Vinnick, so there are no photos of the guys kicking up sand, but according to Keith Ballard, it was quite the show.
The guys split up into two teams of five and played with only one rule: underhand serves only – Ballard joked the rules was put in place because of his lethal overhand serve. Turns out Dan Hamhuis can hang up his skates anytime because he's basically a professional volleyball player, although he did later admit to having a court at his home in Smithers, BC.
Ballard said the guys bonded and had a lot of laughs, especially at the different approaches to volleyball from the North Americans compared to the Swedish players. When a ball came flying over the net, Ballard and others reacted by diving into the sand to bump it up, while the Swedes, when faced with the same dilemma, kicked a foot out to save the ball.
This, of course, has nothing to do with anything, other than it's good to know the Canucks didn't spent the days between Games 3 and 4 moping in their rooms. They moved on, bonded, and it certainly showed Wednesday as Vancouver rallied for a 3-1 win to stay alive.
No word on if a volleyball game is scheduled prior to Game 5, Kits beach may not be ready for all the underhand madness.

Happy Birthday, Isaac Asimov! (via outofprintclothing)
(January 2, 1920)
(via burningfp)
Philosophers, Philosophers, Philosophers
A new species of philosophers is coming up: I shall venture to baptize them with a name that is not free of danger. As I unriddle them, insofar as they allow themselves to be unriddled, for it belongs to their nature to want to remain riddles; these philosophers of the future may have a right, it might also be a wrong, to be called "tempters." This name itself is in the end a mere attempt and, if you will, a temptation.
Are these coming philosophers new friends of "truth"? That is probable enough, for all philosophers so far have loved their truths. But they will certainly not be dogmatists. It must offend their pride, also their taste, if their truth is supposed to be a truth for every man—which has so far been the secret wish and hidden meaning of all dogmatic aspirations. "My judgment is my judgment: no one else is easily entitled to it"—that is what such a philosopher of the future may perhaps say of himself. One must shed the bad taste of wanting to agree with many. "Good" is no longer good when one's neighbor mouths it. And how should there be a "common good"! The term contradicts itself: whatever can be common always has little value. In the end it must be as it is and always has been: great things remain for the great, abysses for the profound, nuances and shudders for the refined, and, in brief, all that is rare for the rare.
- Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
Get a Life, Earn a Living
"We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.""
- Buckminster Fuller

We are Walsall - and it's quite enjoyable
If you think something's too good to be true, it probably is, writes Saddlers blogger Mark Jones.
I have kept trying to tell myself this about the Mighty Saddlers and our superb start to the season, but so many people are beginning to whisper the same thing quietly that it would be wrong to ignore them – this Walsall team really has the makings of something special.
Sure enough, Tuesday's defeat to Orient ensured feet are being kept firmly on the ground but even in defeat there were encouraging signs. Never once did our boys let their heads drop, no-one went missing and we kept trying to pass our way back into the game. This is in marked contrast to what's been on offer over the past few years.
On another day we'd have got something out of the game and not left Bescot wondering quite how we'd ended up on the losing side.
In my many years following WFC, I've become accustomed to the club having no funds, resigned to it even, but for me there's never been an excuse for not trying to play football or for not giving our own a chance. Dean Smith and Richard O'Kelly are putting this right and they've also added a real team ethic too.
This has been demonstrated in the way the team bounced back from the defeat at Stevenage with successive wins and in George Bowerman's late winner at Bournemouth. Hopefully we can put the Orient result behind us in similar fashion.
The quality of our football so far has been tremendous. George Bowerman is rightly getting loads of attention but with a midfield quartet reading Baxendale-Featherstone-Cuvelier-Paterson I'm starting to expect great things.
To get an idea of how well we've started, it took until February to register our fifth win last season, and our third away win was at stadium:mt on the final day.
Saturday was a day when Walsall stood firm in the face of adversity. It was fitting that Andy Butler should score at Dean Court; when 22 months ago he made his Saddlers debut in a 3-0 drubbing towards the tail-end of the Hutchings disaster era.
He, more than anyone, has epitomised the progress that's been made since then. He leads by example and plays with a pride in the shirt that is clearly infectious. It would have been thoroughly deserved if his late effort had gone in on Tuesday.
Interestingly of the current first team only Richard Taundry and Jimmy Walker were regulars at the end of 2010 (and Super Jim himself had only been back a fortnight). Grigg and Paterson had been thrown in at the deep end a couple of times and of course, the then youth team boss was waiting in the wings.
I haven't really been this optimistic about a Walsall team since the Dicky Dosh era and we all know how that turned out, but January is a long way off so I'll enjoy it while I can, even with the odd defeat.
We are Walsall, ay we?

Spring Time Steelhead
Scott Jones hoists this beautiful spring Steelhead caught on the Salmon River in Idaho. Scott was branded in Simms gear, from his G3 Guide waders, Simms L2 boots and layering. He says he has since moved up to the G4Z waders ("I don't think I can live without the zipper anymore") and G3 Guide boot. Scott quips that his wife asks if he is trying to be in a Simms advertisement with all of his gear. We trust it's because he needs it to catch fish like this.

What Should I Cook for a Holiday Party with Toddlers and Adults?
Good Questions
Q: We are having a casual holiday dinner party for friends and there will be 10-15 toddlers there. So I'm looking for recipes with a low mess potential (no chili or tomato sauce) that will appeal to both kids and adults, and are easy to eat while managing little ones. Any ideas?
(Bonus points if it can be made ahead — not a must though.)
Sent by Hazel
Editor: Readers, do you have any ideas for dinner party dishes that will appeal to both toddlers and adults?

(Image: Faith Durand)
21 Comments
What about a grilled cheese party? If you have a large electric griddle , you can do several at once. Put out specialty breads, cheeses and add-ins for adults (rye bread, foccocia, tomatoes, bacon, sauteed veggies, green onions, gruyere, havarti), and the basics for kiddos.
Sides can include a nice salad with fruit, veggies, etc.
That sounds really fun! If you're going for a red and green theme, include some roasted red peppers, tomatoes, pesto, spinach, etc, etc, etc. I would enjoy such a party!
Alternatively, you could do a similar party with individual pizzas.
How about pasta in a creamy sauce like alfredo? Use pasta pieces like fusilli, not long strands like linguine.
Make a veggie side dish that is piquant to offset the creamy pasta for the adults (how about crispy roasted brussels sprouts with sweet and hot peppers?) Make another side dish to appeal to the toddlers -- balsamic glazed carrots? -- or simply serve cut up fruit. Offer everything to everyone, but this way you have something likely to appeal to adults and kids alike.
Be sure to add bread to the meal, because there is sure to be at least one picky eater who will only eat bread and butter!
If you need to do a lot of grilled cheese, do it in the oven. http://lifehacker.com/5900569/make-perfect-grilled-cheese-sandwiches-with-a-pair-of-baking-sheets
Toddlers usually eat pasta, but I'm not sure alfredo sauce is universally loved. In any case, go light on the sauce for minimal mess. ( A pet peeve of mine is restaurant pasta dishes for kids that are swimming in sauce).
Fun finger foods - like pigs in a blanket, those are a staple at my family's Christmas party no matter what the age. Spanokopita's great too. Also, little BLT's - cherry tomatoes stuffed with a bacon/lettuce/mayo mixture
When I was a kid, family parties were generally overrun with small ones. Super popular with the littles: Swedish meatballs, cheese cubes, deviled eggs, rolls, clementines, anything that was served with those cocktail swords for stabbing. We also enjoyed staring and Grandma's green jello mold salad, but I can't tell you we ate it. I had a cousin who would eat every pickle off the relish tray if not stopped. The plain steamed broccoli was surprisingly acceptable (I think because it was plain--toddlers can get suspicious of sauce). I wouldn't worry about making particularly "kid friendly" foods so much as thinking about serving in easy ways: some mini portions, some little plates, small utensils or skewers, and as said above pasta shapes that are easy to handle vs. long strands.
Keeping 10 toddlers tolerably amused in the evening ... You are a brave person!
Spritzers to drink - juice or wine based. Fun, but not as sugary as soda or straight juice. Berry-flavored sparkling water for sugar-restricted kids.
Light soup in fun mugs / sippy cups. There are children's mugs that have a picture or tiny figurine on the bottom.
Hot loaves of garlic bread (one more parmesan than garlic, perhaps)
Casserole(s) - gluten free, egg free, dairy free, etc-free: strata, lasagne, macaroni & cheese, shepards pie. You can do these in a slow cooker, a pot on the stove or in the oven without too much hassle, and not have to be in the kitchen for ever.
Stuffed Veggies & Relish tray (include pitted black olives, those red crabapples, and pickled watermelon for the plays-with-food set.) Apartment Therapy has had several discussions of Relish Trays if you are not familiar with them. Let's kids be a bit picky without being obnoxious.
Christmas cookies and fruitcake + milk, water, decaf, stiff whiskey, tea. I love a nice alcoholic fruitcake, but perhaps not for toddlers.
Have fun!
Who says you have to serve adults and toddlers the same dishes? Quiche is an easy hot dish. You could do a cheddar and broccoli quiche. Ham is always good, and the little ones could eat that, too. Veggies roasted in the oven are especially tasty and easy. Look for recipes online. My sister does little potatoes, baby carrots, onions, peppers, and sweet potatoes, well-seasoned and jazzed up with bottled Italian dressing. Kids like potatoes and carrots in this dish. Add a salad for the adults and fresh fruit (cut up in little pieces) for the kiddies. Easy-peasy.
I would look at appetizer recipes - kids like things bite-size and colorful. Steamed veggies, fruit, cheese, dips, pieces of meat. They could serve as dinner for the kids, and appetizers for the adults, especially if you'll want to get the kids eating first, so they could then go off and play with each other while the grown ups eat.
Make a turkey or a ham and have the fixings for lovely sandwiches. Good bread, nice cheese, good mustard, watercress and a house dressing. Kids can eat the meat and bread straight on a plate and grown up can enjoy a nice sandwich (which is very easy to handle when kid wrangling). Make the sides more grown up. A cold curry risotto. Olive bar. Things like that. Plus fruit salad and cookies. Or make a really knock out dessert--like a buche de Noel--everyone loves dessert!
Whatever you do I'm sure it will be fun. I love kids at Christmas.
Maybe a taco bar? You could make some pulled chicken or pork, then have dishes of beans, plates of tortillas and chips, and all the toppings. That way you have options for gluten free or vegan guests (if you have any) and even the pickiest kids (or adults) can choose exactly what they want. We did this for a family party over the weekend, and everyone (including the almost-5 year old, 2 1/2 year old, and 1 year old) found something they liked.
I second that...or a panini party!
Great ideas...I might use some of these! I have a few recipes that could work...frittata, caramelized onion, lentil and raisin quinoa, cheesy potato and pancetta pancakes, Italian rice salad. You can find more at bitesforbabies.com!
CMCINYC was spot on. I have three little boys and they would happily eat everything she suggested.
Empanadas would be great for this! They can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer until the day of - then just pop the (defrosted) ones into the oven. You could do ground beef, chicken, corn, pesto and goat cheese, ham and mozzarella, etc. They're a little time consuming to assemble but they are always a crowd pleaser (and since they can be made in advance, it's not too bad). If you don't want to make your own dough, you can sometimes find pre-cut dough circles at Hispanic grocery stores. I've also used Pillsbury pie dough and just but them into the size circles I need.
Good luck!
one of my favorite appetizers/meal ideas is making cheese or plain gougeres (any size really), since it is such a cinch to put together and make little sandwiches with them! everyone loves them, you can have like sliced meats, cheese, any filling and either pre-assemble or have your guests assemble to their liking. Also remember you can freeze them already baked and set them out to defrost or you can plop out the dough and flash freeze then pop them in the oven the day of the event. I love that it isn't expensive to throw together, you can determine the size, it makes a ton, you can definitely make ahead, and my 4 year old son loves them!
As a former toddler teacher, I can advise "on the side." Toddlers palates are developing, and they often prefer foods served separately, and very plain. And without fail, nearly all of them love Mac and cheese and chicken nuggets! :) Have fun, whatever you decide to do!
For my son's 2nd birthday party last year we did a mac and cheese bar. I made two pans of homemade mac and cheese and then set out toppings. The kids all ate it plain by choice, the adults added toppings: steamed broccoli, caramelized onions, bacon, or hot sauce, etc. I did also serve hot dogs on the side, only because they are my son's favorite food in the world, but I don't think they were necessary. I also served a simple salad as well as some cut up veggies and dip. It was a big hit with adults and kids alike.
In theory, I believe that adults and children should be served the same things. (I love Pamela Druckerman's Bringing Up Bebe.) I have found in practice, however, that when you try to serve a largish group of adults and children the same thing, the food tends to be too high-fat and not complex enough for the adults and most of the children won't eat it anyway. It works pretty well to come up with a menu you like for the adults and then leave plain any parts that you can--for example, if you are making pasta or chicken, let each guest decide whether to put sauce on it and how much. Then also have peanut butter and jelly (if there are no nut issues), chicken nuggets (if you are not vegetarian), yogurt and a variety of plain fruit available and let parents cater to their children, if necessary. It is embarassing for parents to know that the menu has been designed around children and have their children refuse to eat it--something I experience at every birthday party with my two pizza refuseniks. Parties are time to enjoy each other's company, not for lessons in correct feeding and eating.
thank you all so much for your helpful input.
I've decided to go with these (the sauce is on the side):
As well as a kale salad, black rice side dish, and a couple of types of flatbreads (fig, prosciutto, arugula), (mushroom onion fontina), and of course a plain one. I can get a pretty good prepared dough at our local market and they have a gluten free option as well (we have a few people who can't eat gluten). I'll have some cubed cheese and raw veggies with hummus too. Oh, and cherry pecan cookies!
I'm not sure if the kids will eat much, as in these types of environments they rarely stay in one place long enough, but at least there will be options for them and the parents can eat easily as well.
happy holidays!

Tomorrow's election will determine fate of 'Real Change' candidates.
Brian Thompson
The small group of protesters grew to about 40 individuals as downtown Hondo closed for the day. Demonstrators armed themselves with signs reading Vote No on the Recall. They yelled, Raza si, recall no." Other chants included, We won the election fair and square and the traditional Latin American slogan El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido (The people united will never be divided).
Several members at the gathering months ago expressed anger over a recall election threatening to unseat three Mexican-American city council members in tomorrow's election.
The group chanted outside city hall for about 30 minutes until 6 p.m., when a meeting concerning the recall commenced. Inside, the debate grew heated and tempers flared. Mainly Mexican-American except for a few individuals, the citizens speaking passionately defended the three council members targeted for recall. Most of the citizens that spoke at the public meeting said they did not understand the reasons for the recall.
[Recall proponents] have brothers who want to occupy the positions, asserted Isabel Luna, a longtime community activist. By paying people with two or three beers or a plate of barbecue, theyve been able to buy signatures for their recall petition, she said.
Gringos have always run this town. Theyre used to running things, said Maria Rodriguez, another protester.
Luna and other protesters recalled the Hondo walkout of 1974, when Hispanic parents pulled their children out of school to protest unfair treatment in a wave of allegations that included physical abuse and singling out Hispanic children for excessive punishment.
At one point, local attorney Clyde Haake confronted Hondo mayor Jim Danner directly about the recall, asking him to explain the accusations in the recall petition.
As I recall, they were fairly generic, said Danner.
You should know, you signed it! yelled an individual from the back of the room, and the meeting hall burst into laughter.
As the meeting wore on, the language become more barbed, and racial tension was clearly evident.
Raza should stick together and not stab each other in the back, said Luna. We look beautiful because we're united.
The losers can't stand that they don't have power. They are angry that their own personal interests aren't being fulfilled, said Che Lopez, the son of one of the targeted council members and employee of Southwest Workers Union.

These recordings are devoted to the French string repertoire around the time of Hubert Le Blanc's famous 1740 publication defending the use of the bass viol, when the violin and the cello were becoming increasingly important in Parisian musical life. Dating from 1992–3 they have aged well and sound consistently warm and pleasing.
Philippe Pierlot's tribute to Sainte-Colombe comprises moving accounts of Marais's Tombeau pour Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe and Saint-Colombe's own Tombeau for his father, along with subtle readings of Du Buisson's Third Suite, a Suite and Chaconne by Demachy, and Sainte-Colombe's Concert XLIV for two viols 'Tombeau Les Regrets' (with Rainer Zipperling). He fronts a further group of pieces headed 'Défense de la Basse de viole', including Marais's delightful Cloches ou carillons, Morel's Tenth Suite, Roland Marais's Second Suite and works by Caix d'Hervelois, played deftly and with refinement.
In 'Les Entreprises du Violon' violinist François Fernandez assumes the spotlight in sonatas by Dornel, Duval, Rebel and Leclair, dispatched with due style and finesse; and in 'Les Prétentions du Violoncelle' cellist Hidemi Suzuki is an imaginative soloist in sonatas by Masse, Barrière and Canavas and one of four well-matched cellists in an energetic account of Corrette's Concerto 'Le Phénix'.

A former Democratic party state lawmaker and candidate for Governor says he's considering a run for State Ag Commissioner.
Towner area rancher and columnist, and former senate minority leader, Ryan Taylor, says he is weighing the possibility. He says a lot of people have been encouraging him to run, but he has made not made a final decision. He says a main draw for him is that the Ag Commissioner serves on the State Industrial Commission, which right now is made up, of three Republicans.
The call for him to enter the race has spiked this month, since current Ag Commissioner Doug Goehring has had a Republican challenger step forward

By DrLeona on 12/30/2011 DrLeona would recommend this product to a friend I don't know how I ever had an aquarium without one of these! I literally hooked this up to my laundry room sink in 3 minutes! SO EASY! (Watch the video on the website!!) The digital gauge displayed the ppm contamination of my tap water and showed a lovely 0 for the clean water! I am beyond impressed! This is the first time I have truly gotten what I paid for when I comes to aquarium supplies! WORTH EVERY DOLLAR!! great product By Christopher on 12/29/2011 Christopher would recommend this product to a friend You have to get this with the Auto Shut Off Kit Best Filter System By Matthew on 12/29/2011 Matthew would recommend this product to a friend I have used this for a couple of years and this system is awesome! The Dual TDS meter really lets me know (besides the change in color of filters or media) that its time to change the prefilter. Very easy to change the filters and never has leaked! awesome system By William on 12/28/2011 William would recommend this product to a friend very good system. Works great and the added features really help ie. tds meter and pressure gauge!!! Great product, light on instructions By TheBull on 12/25/2011 TheBull would recommend this product to a friend Most of the install is pretty intuitive but i tried using the included stem valve on a 3/8" copper pipe and had a real mess on my hands. I would avoid the stem valve altogether! Once installed the unit works great. I'm at 2ppm on the DI inlet and 0ppm on the outlet. My system pressure only runs around 38 psi and i'm getting over 60 gpd. Saw a 2 stage unit at home depot today for $250. You can't go wrong with this unit. Top Notch By Brent on 12/20/2011 Brent would recommend this product to a friend I loved how easy this was to install. Instructions are easy to follow and I was getting water in no time. Only thing is how much water goes down the drain. GREAT!! By nicholas on 12/19/2011 nicholas would recommend this product to a friend Great ro/di unit,love the built in tds meter just added assuance that you water is 0 TDS, Great helpful staff who makes sure your getting the best,great 2 day shippin just like they said,IMO best on the net,Thanks!!!! Good filtration, yet leaky. By John'yar on 12/14/2011 John'yar would recommend this product to a friend The effluent water is amazingly clean. I have only two complaints; the insructions were anything but clear, and the post di tds sensor assembly leaked like you wouldn't believe. I ended up having to wrap the quick connect piece with plumber's tape as well as the hose leading in to the fitting. Otherwise the tds meter reads like 6 going into di and 0 out. For that I am pleased. In short, solid operation shaky assembly. Quality Product By Cody on 12/13/2011 Cody would recommend this product to a friend I ran my system with tap water and conditioner for an entire year before I made the switch the an RO/DI unit. I have to say that the fact that this system came with the faucet adapter is what sold me. I live in apartment so I wasn't trying to drill any holes in my plumbing. I don't even have this unit mounted. It just sits beneath my bathroom sink and when it's time to make water I unscrew the cap to my faucet and screw in the adapter. Couldn't be easier. Quality built and works like a charm By joseph on 12/13/2011 joseph would recommend this product to a friend I can't think of anything to say that hasn't been said. You will not be sorry with this unit. great system! By Jacob on 12/5/2011 Jacob would recommend this product to a friend this package comes with everything you need to start making perfectly perfect water with 0 tds!! the only thing i wish it came with was a float valve but i know that comes with the deluxe system or can be purchased separately It has already been said... By Jeremy on 12/4/2011 Jeremy would recommend this product to a friend This RO/DI unit is fantastic. It was easy to setup, included all the fitting I needed, and best of all with the included DUAL TDS sensor I am able to phsycially see that I am producing 0 TDS water for my reef tank. The price of this product certainly does not equate to the quality of craftsmanship you recieve with this. If you need an RO/DI system, you need this one!
