Obama Will Need Energy Realism, Not More Economic Alchemy
Posted Nov 5, 2008 by Julian Darley
America and the world wakes this morning to a landscape of new possibilities. We also wake up to a daunting list of problems, most of which are now well known. Yet still there is one problem that was never mentioned by either presidential candidate, no doubt for their own good reasons. The problem is one that has been waiting in the wings since 1859. Or 1846 if you live in Russia.1 These are the dates of the first oil wells in the world, and they mark the beginning of our dependence on oil, a dependence which is now being forced into reverse.
Peak oil and decline has to become a dominant factor in political and business planning because otherwise, the wrong remedies are going to be applied to the wrong causal diagnosis. The world headlines this morning helpfully remind Obama and his new team that they face some severe economic woes. I am sure they are very grateful for that information.2
What they need to hear about are the underlying reasons for the financial meltdown, the credit crisis and ensuing economic contraction. Jeff Rubin, of CIBC, makes the case strongly in a recent report, that high oil prices - caused by supply constraints not meeting demand - are the real cause of the economic crash.
The chart shows that all but one of the last five recessions have followed sharp rises in oil prices.3 Obama's new economic advisers will surely also be looking at such graphs, but will they notice how dramatically different the 21st century price rise curve is, and will they ask why? Unless they do, it seems likely that we see economic alchemy being practiced rather than economic realism. In the past that has lead to exuberance and temporary consumer happiness. This time will be different.
Let us hope that Obama's cabinet will be able to swim through the sea of position papers now deluging them and see that we are now entering a new age of global energy and economic contraction. If they do see this, they may also see that this is the key which opens the door to a new age of local resilience and regional reliance, an age of relocalization.

Obama and scientific policy advice
From: Clifford J. Wirth, Nov 5, 2008 05:26 PM
President will need the best scientific advice in the world to develop energy policy. He would be wise to commission the National Academy of Sciences to provide the Congress, president, and nation with energy policy advice. Politicians who attempt to give the public bad news will lose public support. Let the NAS take the heat and give the president and Congress policy advice from the best scientists. Congress and the president will need the findings of the NAS to resist the pressures of interest groups and the energy industry. Cliff Wirth, http://survivingpeakoil.blogspot.com/

Bun Thom Nuong & Vinho Verde
Everything needed for this dish came from huong vuong for modest $$. We used their shrimp along with their roasted pig for the thit part. One addition was the amazing crookneck cucumber from Blooming Glen.
A frosty bottle of vinho verde was shockingly perfect accompaniment to this dish. A delightful light supper on a steamy May night.

Tasty Market Grub
At HeadHouse on Sunday I traded Barb Shelly a bunch of caramels for a chicken and Blooming Glen Tom gave me some escarole. Those mushrooms came from one of the Clark Park farmers.
Canelé biz was booming.

Smells Like a Wiener
These two are both stinkers.
The purple globe is an Allium species not sure which one.
The white blooms belong to Styrax japonica 'Emerald Pagoda'. Their scent is similar to the water left after boiling hot dogs.

Sunday at HeadHouse
This was a fine Spring market Sunday. Blooming Glen was back, Tom Culton was there, and things were real green with loads of red ripe strawberries thrown in.
Blackbird Heritage farm, a new vendor (I think) was in the house with great looking heirloom lettuces.

Greens Greens Greens This Weekend?
I'm wondering if Blooming Glen and the other produce folks will be at HeadHouse this weekend. The bowl in the pic was filled with an asian mix from Thu's garden in Camp Hill. Those delicious leaves raised my hopes for green goodies this Sunday.

Teuscher 66 Black Pearl Cake
The Lil Lady made another one of these spicy chocolate beauties. This time she used the Teuscher 66%. I can't say how delish it is because we handed it over as a gift. I can say that the chocolate cake crumbs were imbued with the sublime chocolaty-ness that is Teuscher's alone.
I'm reusing photo's from back in Feb. My camera is on the fritz.

Fighting The (coffee) Man In the Golden Age of Crap
Several consecutively outstanding batches of coffee from Joe etc has been percolating through my thoughts for a few weeks. I've had the El Salvador, Honduran, Guatemala and Nicaraguan, and today I'm on the Peru Vienna roast. Every one was a delight. IN ACCORDANCE WITH BLOGOLA TRANSPARENCY I am stating that I work with Joe all the time. We trade canele for coffee all the time. I give Joe my candid feedback on his brews all the time, as anyone who knows me could probably guess.
Joe roasts every week. When we go to market his coffee is usually just a few hours out of the roaster. It is excellent to be at market explaining to customers that these coffees are super fresh, fair trade and organic. Since I drink them all, I'm able to sell my favorites like a champ.
Tim Carman at Washington City Paper is my new bud. First I saw his canele post. Then I read this piece from April which is super informative and quite different from the pandering, lowest common denominator style that is common in Philly.
In the article Tim chats with Joel Finkelstein. "Part of this is fighting the man," Finkelstein says about chains like Starbucks and Caribou. "Let's take coffee back." I think he and I are in the same army. The battles are many in the golden age of crap.

Canele Blabber
This post at the Washington DC City Paper contains a vid by Scott Hocker. Does he fancy himself the queen of canelé? Scott brings us to a stoic and sanctimonious baker who prepares one dozen canelés a day. You get the impression that these two were primary consultants on Isabelle Bunisset's Cannelè tome (photo).
There are several things I'd like to point out about this vid:
#1 A sanctimonious mien will taint your canelé batter.
#2 Candles and canelés are different objects. Use just a film of wax, not enough to set a wick.
#3 Scott is mistaken when, with regard to silicone, he whines "no textural contrast whatsoever."
#4 In my view, baking 12 canele a day is really not experience enough to hold forth on the subtleties of the canelé.
#5 Finessing the batter is a bit more involved than just steeping a few beans in milk. She uses enough rum so that you might imagine that you taste it.
#6 Scott has checked out the canelés in Bordeaux. So what? Has he sampled our fare here in Philly?
On the positive side their technique is close to what you see in the vids here at Baillardran. Their canelé do look lovely and I bet they taste pretty good too.

Terrific Tenderloin for Less Coin
Beef or bison tenderloin is not often on our table. The main reasons are the high price or the scary quality. Some spots offer a low price, but the meat looks as if it's been macerated in cryovac bag fluids. The outer fat and inner marbling are nearly the same color as the beef. In my experience filet with those visuals is as useful and tasty as tuna which has oxidized to a chocolate hue.
On Monday morning after our deliveries, we stole away for an overnight respite in West Cape May. We wisely grabbed all our dinner needs before we got to the house. First stop, The Lobster House where we found a 3.3#'er @ 8.95/#. Lobster House cole slaw and a dz local oysters completed our order. Next stop was West Side Market, THE beef supplier in the Cape May area. We were thinking surfy/turfy but not really fixed on tenderloin. Since the lobster was larger than what we forecasted, a smaller piece of beef seemed sensible. I asked for two 10 oz filets. The counter guy went to the walk-in and came back with a whole cryo'd tenderloin. He opened it up, did a little trimming and placed 2 beauties on the scale. They were $20 or 15.99/#.
That night we slurped down the delicious oysters with Coronas. The lobster went in the steamer while I made a batch of fries and pan fried the beef. We ended up sharing just one filet and saved the other for the next day. The beef was seared on all sides, then finished with shallots, cucarachas, a little butter and fleur de sel. WOW. The last time time I had a tenderloin this good, the late great Harry Ochs sliced it from a non-cryo'd aged filet. It was very long ago. This was a really outstanding product. Congrats and thanks to West Side Market.
I didn't take any pics of that dinner. The 2nd filet is in the pics.With that we made a steak sandwich with BirchRun Hills Blue and Metro cracked wheat. This too was tasty but a closer focus on the beef would have made more sense and better taste.

HeadHouse Opening
We had a great day at market. Spirits were as high as the temps.
Mayor Nutter is grittin' on the goods at BirchRun Hills in the photo.
It's was great to be back and say hello to our regulars and the new folks too.
So far it is slim pickings in the produce dept, but that adds to the excitement as the season unfolds.

Works / Contributions
Fernando C. Amorsolo, was born on May 30, 1892 in Paco, Manila. He spent the first 13 years of his youth in Daet, Camarines Norte.He was a Nationalist Artist.Already a promising artist at an early age, he busied himself in the midst of rice fields and abaca plantations sketching animals, seascapes, and landscapes. He spent time copying pictures from calendars and sitting by a wharf drawing ships at sea.
During the revolutionary period, he was attracted to the guardia civil in the streets of Daet; he took them as subjects for his painting and drew them well.While in Daet, Fernando and his brothers studied in a public school and were tutored on how to read and write in Spanish at home. Unfortunately, his father�s death left the family destitute and Fernando had to stop studying after only three years of formal schooling.In 1905, the family returned to Manila and stayed with the painter Don Fabian dela Rosa who was his mother�s first cousin. Under Don Fabian�s guidance, Fernando learned to mix paints and to wield the brush as his uncle�s apprentice.At 17, Amorsolo enrolled at the art school of the Liceo de Manila where, aside from being a scholar, he excelled in drawing and other subjects, and won prizes in several design contests. Later, he graduated from the U.P. School of Fine arts in 1914.At the age of 70, Amorsolo underwent a cataract operation, but this, did not stop him in making great works. In 1971, he underwent an ear operation. He also suffered from diabetes, arthritis, headache and occasional dizziness. He became weak, but still he continues his painting when he felt a little better.Amorsolo was married twice. His first wife was Salud Jorge whom he married in 1916 and by whom he had six children. Widowed fifteen years later, he married Maria del Carmen. They had eight children.On April 24,1972 he died of heart failure at St. Luke�s Hospital at the age of 79. Four days after his death, he was conferred the First Philippine National artist award at the Cultural Center of the Philippine by President Ferdinand E. Marcos.
His most notable work as a student was his painting of a young man and a young woman in a garden. That won for him the first prize in the art school exhibition in his graduation year.Before graduating, he found a well-paying job at the Pacific Commercial Company. Shortly after his graduation, he was taken as an instructor in fine arts. At the same time, he also took a part-time job as draftsman in the Bureau of Public Works.From among the professors under whom Amorsolo studied at the Liceo de Manila and at the University of the Philippines, Rafael Enriquez, Miguel Zaragosa, and Toribio Herrera influenced him most..Amorsolo started to be known outside the country when he joined the Exposicion de Panama in 1914. His entries were a large portrait of U.S. president Woodrow Wilson and an intriguing piece entitled La Muerte de Socrates. In 1919, he caught the attention of Don Enrique Zobel, a wealthy businessman and father of the modernist painter Fernando Zobel. He was sent as a scholar to the well-known Academia de San Fernando.The whole decade of the twenties was Amorsolo�s creative peak. During this period he developed his interpretation of Philippine sunlight and landscapes which remain his greatest contributions to Philippine painting.
At the grand Central Gallery in New York City in 1925, Amorsolo held a one-man show, which attracted many Americans who were interested in the Philippines. He won the First prize at the New York�s world Fair in 1929. In 1931, Amorsolo also exhibited one of his anecdotal paintings, �The Conversion of the Filipinos� at the Paris Exposition. He was also awarded a grand prize when he exhibited his paintings at Manila Carnival�s Commercial and Industrial Fair in 1927. Because of his distinguished achievements in art, he was named Outstanding Alumnus of the University of the Philippines in 1940.To devote himself full time to painting , Amorsolo retired from the directorship of the U.P. School of Fine Arts in 1952. He confined himself to studio, painting from sunrise to sunset. His paintings became popular that he could hardly meet the demand for commissioned works, especially portraits. In recognition of his artistic prowess, many awards were given to him.

KAYLA KNOLL . . . and her Frankenmuth varsity girls' tennis team members are wrapping up a successful season – winning the TVC title and qualifying for the MHSAA state meet, to be held in Holly May 30. (Photo courtesy/Chip DeGrace)
FHS netters win TVC title; are state bound May 30
Twenty-five hours of tennis encompassing two days is a lot of tennis. The girls' tennis team played exactly that in notching a couple of achievements as they qualified for the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) State Finals last Friday with a second place finish at the MHSAA Division 4-30 Regional and then won the Tri-Valley Conference (TVC) tournament on Monday thereby earning outright the TVC championship.
The regional contest was a slugfest as overall #1 seed Flint Powers and #2 seed Frankenmuth pounded their way through the flight brackets each knowing that every match meant critical points. Thirteen hours of tennis later, Flint Powers emerged with a razor thin one-point win over the Eagles. Flight champions for the team were Kristen Loesel (3 singles), Lindsey Mertz (2 singles), and Julie Dukovich/Rachel Welch (3 doubles). Flight runner-ups were Kayla Knoll (1 singles), Alexa VanHine/Katie Degrace (1 doubles), and Elisabeth Barrett/Megan Kueffner (2 doubles). Semi-finalists were McKenzie Freeman (4 doubles) and Kelly Cron/Haley Goodall (4 doubles).
"It was an incredibly exciting day although cold. We played superb varsity level tennis and all eight flights earned points. We knew by about 2 p.m. that we had earned enough points to qualify for the state finals and then wanted to see how far we could go. I am extremely proud of the girls. They just missed last year making the finals, and I am particularly happy for the seniors that they get to go back," stated Coach Friend.
Monday's TVC tournament was played at the Midland Tennis Center in beautiful tennis weather. Frankenmuth was the overall #1 seed with Chesaning a close second. Much like the regional, both teams understood the importance of winning across all eight flights and the winner was in doubt until late in the afternoon. Within about five minutes of each other, the #4 doubles team of Kelly Cron/Haley Goodall and the #2 doubles team of Elisabeth Barrett/Megan Kueffner earned flight championship status to expand a narrow but now insurmountable lead over Chesaning. "Coach Coulter was running through different scenarios at the point's board and told me that we had it. My count was off, and I told him that I did not think so. He turned out to be right," added Friend
Other flight champions for the Eagles were Kayla Knoll (1 singles), Lindsey Mertz (2 singles), and Julie Dukovich/Rachel Welch (3 doubles). Flight runner-up was Kristen Loesel (3 singles) and semi-finalists were Alexa VanHine/Katie Degrace (1 doubles) and McKenzie Freemen (4 singles). All eight flights earned either 1st team, 2nd team or honorable mention status.
The Eagles will travel to Holly for the MHSAA state finals on May 30th. "We're going to compete against the best in the state and I am proud to say we are right there with them," concluded Friend.

School and parents need to take initiative against bullying
in Opinion by Natasha Reeves — | no comments
By Natasha Reeves
Lingering on the minds of concerned parents, and receiving much attention from the press, bullying is a topic demanding a lot of attention. There is an alarming increase in teenage suicide rates due to bullying; according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) there are 4,400 young people who commit suicide per year. Bullying is a problem that needs to be solved and there is the issue as to the appropriate way to stop it. The upbringing of a child is influenced by their parents, the community, the schools, the law and even the culture. Those who are most responsible for the upbringing of a child are the parents and the schools.
On Oct. 25, three fifteen-year-olds were arrested for bullying in San Luis, Arizona. These three teenagers taunted and assaulted a boy on the bus to and from school. One of the arrested teenagers videotaped portions of the incident. Bullying should not be taken lightly because it can result in the death of a young person. Yet, fifteen-year-olds should not get arrested for bullying. The law should be the last resort when it comes to dealing with minors. The school needs to step in before the law does. The school needs to enforce intolerance for bullying. In the case of the three fifteen-year-olds who were arrested, the bullied minor was getting harassed to and from school on the bus through the school year. The minor reported the bullying to his mother. His mother then contacted the police. Two alternatives to this situation could be the mother contacting the school or the bus driver intervening. While the media is filled with anti-bullying campaigns the schools themselves should educate the damages of bullying. More importantly than schools stepping in, are parents teaching their children both compassion and confidence at the youngest age possible.
Organizations such as stopbullying.gov and media influences such as Cartoon Network's "Stop Bullying: Speak Up" campaign are positive influences bullying needs to be stopped at its source, which is the home. There have been studies done by the CDC, which show at least 80 percent of children who have this bullying behavior are caused by a bad home environment. A bad home environment can consist of a lack of stability, parents who have little involvement in the child's life or there are cases of parents who are aggressive and can act like bullies to their own children, either verbally or physically. If parents can't prevent bullying from occurring then the second authority needs to step in, this is the school.
The law should not be considered a first or even second resort. Those arrested for bullying will face further intimidation by fellow inmates which can just reassure their already aggressive behavior. It can be easy to forget that bullying does not come with just one victim, everyone involved is being damaged, both the harasser and harassed. There is the theory that putting bullies on trial will show others that there are serious consequences to such behavior. The problem with that idea is that putting an already troubled teenager in jail will have a lesser probability of fixing the issue when they are in an even more stressful and pressured setting.
A person should never live with bullying, any child or teenager should tell a teacher or parent if they are ever getting tormented at school. Even in the work place one should report about any sort of harassment. A child or teenager who is a bully also needs to have their problems addressed. Bullying is an obstacle that can be overcome by both parties involved if only the right people took the initiative to do something about it.

This week I did something for the very first time. I read a book . . . entirely on my computer! That's right, I traded the pleasure of turning pages between my fingers for the convenience of advancing digital pages on my laptop. And, to my surprise, I enjoyed it almost every bit as much as the real thing! Did you know that the library offers access to downloadable ebooks and audiobooks, not to mention videos and music? Well, we do!
Don't consider yourself technically savvy? No problem. I and others have found it to be a simple learning experience with little computer know-how required. If you're a library card holder and you have a computer, you're just a step away from enjoying this new, innovative, and convenient way to enjoy books and other media. Just start by visiting HCPL's Digital Media Catalog [2] and find out how easy and fun it can be!

So this evening I was sitting on my sisters bed while she was on her desk and I decided to look through my pictures for the animes I took a picture of to watch later. I got the animes but I literally stayed there for like more than half an hour with my iPod in one hand and a slinky in the other and my sister turned to me and said, "wow. Sad your life"

26.06.07 - By Gavin Stone: This Wednesday night Anthony Mundine will fight tough South American slugger Pablo Daniel Zamora Nievas (17-1-1) in the first defence in his second reign as World Boxing Association (WBA) super middleweight world champion..
The bout, which will take place at the Gold Coast Convention Centre adjacent to Jupiters Casino, is supported by an exciting undercard which will feature Soloman Haumono, Monty Betham Jr., Leonardo Zappavigna and Emmett Gazzard.
Mundine won the WBA strap earlier this year by stopping fellow countryman Sam Soliman by ninth round knock out to win his second world title, and consequently in line for a shot at unified champion Mikkel Kessler.
After losing his first WBA world title belt to Puerto Rican Manny Siaca in 2004, Mundine told news.com.au that he will not make the same mistake twice.
"It's all about how I'm going to win, it needs to be dominating and convincing," Mundine said.
"We don't know a lot about him, but I think he's a bit of a brawler. A wide swinger.
"You've got to bring your A-game every fight, you've got to be dominant and look your best. That's what I've done over the last year or two and I've dominated guys that people thought were going to beat me."
Nievas- who has a work ranking at number 15 in the WBA- has never fought outside of South America and fought a draw with countryman Ruben Eduardo Acosta- a former Mundine opponent.
Mundine completed an energetic 90-minute session at the Nerang Police Citizens Youth Club on the Gold Coast last Thursday night in front of interested onlookers. Mundines head trainer, Tony Mundine, is happy with his sons preparations.
"He's more enthusiastic and determined than he's ever been," Tony said.
"He works hard, never taken a short cut. He puts pressure on himself."
Mundine aims to add the world middleweight and light heavyweight titles to his super middleweight crown.
"I'm still a pup in this game. I've only had 31 fights and can only get better with experience," Mundine said.
"I've dodged nobody. They said (Danny) Green was going to be a worthy opponent and I dominated him. They said (Sam) Soliman was going to be a worthy opponent and I dominated him . . . I'll dominate Nievas next Wednesday.
"I can't see anyone beating me now unless I beat myself and as far as I'm concerned I won't lose the belt again. I really feel like I am the best. My talent and skills have developed and I just believe in myself so much now.
"When the history books are written I want to be the best ever boxer to come out of Australia. I'm already the best ever athlete. I want to be the best fighter."
Mundines fast hands and underrated power should be too much for Nievas, who has never been beyond 6 rounds. Mundine will also look to continue an aggressive style which he has shown in previous fights to dominate top 10 fighters in Danny Green and Sam Soliman. However in boxing we can never be sure, and as with all Mundine fight nights we are guaranteed plenty of entertainment, Mundine fan or not. Card will screen live on Foxtel Main Event Pay Per View from 7pm Australian eastern standard time.

News Flash: ReJo to DL, Freel takes spot
According to Chris DeLuca of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Cubs will send Reed Johnson to the disabled list tomorrow, as the outfielder continues to deal with back spasms.
Reed was phenomenal in his 41 at-bats from the month of May, posting a .366/.413/.707 slash line. For those keeping score at home, any OPS above 1.000 is, as Big Z might say, "fantastico." His June numbers are significantly down, however, perhaps as a result of this injury problem.
DeLuca also reports that utilityman Ryan Freel will be taking Reed's spot on the roster. Freel has been playing well in Iowa, hitting .417 with four doubles and five steals in seven games.
I wonder if Freel will see any action in center field against lefties.

*You have to think of it differently. If you took your car to the shop and they put in a new gas tank that held 10 more gallons of gas, would you expect them to fill the new tank too? You didn't lose any money if they just put your old gas in the new tank.*
I haven't logged into live yet so I can't see for myself but basically 60/100 means that you need to pay for a 40% repair to repair this to how it was before.
Now the REAL QUESTION is: is the repair cost from 0 to 60 the same now you're filling from 0 to 100 (or has it gone up by 40%)... By the sounds of it, it has gone up by 40%.
If you long at it from a "time in combat" before a repair is needed the item runs for 40% longer, but if you look at it from a "number of deaths" before a repair is needed it's now 40% lower than it was yesterday.
So basically yes this change IS costing you gold (that if you don't sppend you currently have less durability than you had yesterday).

New Moms Cash In on Old Clothes
An online destination helps new moms make money off their pre-mom wardrobe.
As many a mom can tell you, even when you lose the pregnancy weight, you might not fit into to your old wardrobe.
"Things have shifted," said Jessica Grant of her post-pregnancy body.
But Grant, 35, a mother of three from Plainview, NY, and other moms have found a silver lining to this postpartum reality: They're making easy money on their old clothes.
For the last six months, Grant has been selling clothes on Tradesy.com: a peer-to-peer online marketplace for new or lightly-used clothing, shoes and accessories. Grant was one of Tradesy's early Beta users—the site officially launched in late 2012—and she estimates that she's raked in just under $2,000 on sales of jeans, black pants and other wardrobe staples. She's also sold a few high-end designer handbags for another $2,000.
But for Grant, it's not just about making extra dough—it's about freeing up closet space.
"I don't have that large of a closet to begin with—the more I can clear out, the more space it allows me to buy new things," she said.
Here's how it works: Users take photos of their clothing, shoes and accessories and submit them to Tradesy, which polishes the photos by erasing their backgrounds. When an item sells, Tradesy sends sellers a prepaid shipping kit. After the item ships, sellers receive payments in special Tradesy accounts. Sellers can then transfer the money to Paypal accounts or use it to buy items on Tradesy.
Items are often priced up to 90 percent off their original retail prices. Tradesy takes a 9 percent cut of each sale. You'll see a number of marquis brands featured on the site, but Tradesy is open to items of all brands.
Tracy DiNunzio, the CEO of the Santa Monica, CA, based company, says that many of the site's 250,000 users are new moms. In addition to selling clothes that no longer fit their postpartum bodies, moms are selling maternity attire and professional outfits that—if they've left their office jobs—don't see the light of day much anymore.
"Especially post-baby, when money can be tight, it makes a lot of sense for new moms," DiNunzio said. "What we hear from our customers is it's very cleansing for them to purge their closets."
Of course, not every mom is inclined to part with all of her ill-fitting or impractical clothing—even Grant, who said she's generally not sentimental about her wardrobe.
She has a pink and white poncho that worked well for her former urban lifestyle—think lots of walking—but isn't so comfortable to wear under a seatbelt while driving around the New York suburbs.
"I love the colors of it and the memory that's attached to it," Grant said. "I don't really wear it. I just have it."
If you have clothes you are willing to part with, here are DiNunzio's tips for getting the best bang for you buck:
Buy your wardrobe with resales in mind and invest in sturdier fabric. Once you own it, take good care of your garments so it's in great condition by the time you're ready to sell. "Look at your retail spend as a true investment that you know you can make money back on later."
Current styles sell more easily, so sell your clothes as soon as you're able; consider selling your pre-baby clothes while you're still pregnant.
Take photos of your clothing at many different angles; on Tradesy, the clothing that is advertised with the best photos is more visible to buyers.
And DiNunzio has advice, too, for sentimental moms who just can't let go of certain treasured items now collecting dust in their closets.
"It's very hard to let go of pre-pregnancy clothes. It's almost like admitting things will never be the same," she said, "(But) it's more symbolic than anything… It's not a reality that you won't be able to wear the same kind of clothes. You can always buy more."

When Restaurant Associates recruited Marcus Samuelsson to run the café at Alice Tully Hall, the chef wanted the grand lobby space to feel more casual and intimateno small feat for a glass-walled atrium designed to be transparent and open. Architectural firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro, which revamped the entire arts complex, made some tweaks: They adjusted the lighting so the seating section could be dimmed; installed new lounge-y furniture, a long communal couch, and rough-hewn tree-trunk tables; and extended the café outside to the plaza by distributing bright gel packs as impromptu step seating. The all-day menu, developed by Samuelsson and his right-hand man, Nils Norén, is eclectic Americana as reinterpreted by two expat Swedes, from smoked Caesar salad to taco doro wat. And the long bar remains where it was, now dispensing West Coast wines and cocktails conceived by drinks maven Eben Klemm.Recommended Dishes

This is the most awesome cookie ever. I believe this tops any chocolate chip recipe. I made some last night and I ate at least 10 of them. :) I think this is my favorite!
OK, what did I do wrong? Mine spread out too much and ended up being frisbees. I chilled them in the fridge for longer than called for and added some flour to a min-batch of them to see if that would help.
The batter has to be refrigerated before being dropped onto the parchment paper or it will be too thin or sticky. Yes, they freeze beautifully. I did try them with the raspberries using raspberry flavoring instead of the vanilla but that flavor did not come through. I used very good chocolate, so the chocolate flavor overpowered the raspberry flavoring. However the freeze dried raspberries from Trader Joe's in the chocolate cookie were delightful. Have come to the conclusion I will stay with the original recipe as adding the raspberries is quite costly, too much for a cookie that is good on it's own. One last note is that I use coffee flavoring instead of the vanilla in the original recipe, it really seems to bring out the flavor of the good quality chocolate.
I followed the recipe exactly and they are wonderful, actually sinfull. Thinking of using the basic recipe without the toffee and substituting dried raspberries for the toffee and raspberry flavoring for the vanilla so I will end up with a chocolate raspberry cookie. My mind also goes to chopped crystalized ginger with ginger liquor. Just ideas right now.
I love these cookies! A friend made it for me and then sent the recipe to me. I substituted pecans for walnuts but only because we had pecans on hand. I made a batch (with normal size cookies) and then froze the rest. Later, I took the frozen cookies straight out of the freezer onto a cold baking sheet lined with silpat and they turned out better than the fresh batch. They kept their shape and were not too delicate and still perfect moist in the center. I'll always freeze them first from now on. Also, I noticed that if I used wax paper they would stick. Use silpat instead! It makes it so much easier.
These cookies are amazing!!! I made them without the walnuts because my husband and I are not fans. Totally delicious. Made them for a party and they were gone in seconds. Should have made a double batch!
These are amazing! I made them 'normal' cookie size, because they are super rich and a large size seems too overwhelming. When they cool, they are chewy, and gooey, with chunks of melted and re-cooled toffee. The BEST cookies I have ever made, hands down. NOTE: I made my own toffee for these, too lazy to go buy pre-made. I don't know that it changed the texture from what the recipe states.
Wow wow wow. These cookies are amazing. I reduced the sugar a tad to 1.5 cups but added an extra Heath bar thanks to the advice of others. I refrigerated the dough overnight and almost got a blister on my hand from trying to scoop out so many portions the next day. Well worth the physical pain though... yum.

Hotcoat Black Chrome 8 oz.
Product Review (submitted on May 25, 2011):
I have used 10 different powder coat colors from Eastwood and they have all turned out great. This black chrome however is junk. I have tried high power, low power, checked my ground (which hasn't changed). I shot half a wheel with the black chrome and the powder just doesn't lay down in an even coat. I switched out to reflective chrome on the other half of the wheel just to see if it had issues and it put down a nice even coat, so I believe that the problem is the powder itself.

Programming Language Readability
Lets compare some Python to Haskell for solving the same problem. The problem we'll pick is Trie data-structure for auto-completions. We are interested not so much in the nitty gritty of the algorithm, but in the language style itself. Auto-complete has been in the programming news a lot recently; both a Python and a Haskell solver have turned up.
Here's the Python:
A fast data structure for searching strings with autocomplete support.
class Trie(object):
def __init__(self, value=None):
self.children = {}
self.value = value
self.flag = False # Flag to represent that a word ends at this node
def add(self, char):
val = self.value + char if self.value else char
self.children[char] = Trie(val)
def insert(self, word):
node = self
for char in word:
if char not in node.children:
node = node.children[char]
node.flag = True
def find(self, word):
node = self
for char in word:
if char not in node.children:
return None
node = node.children[char]
return node.value
def all_prefixes(self):
results = set()
if self.flag:
if not self.children: return results
return reduce(lambda a, b: a | b, [node.all_prefixes() for node in self.children.values()]) | results
def autocomplete(self, prefix):
node = self
for char in prefix:
if char not in node.children:
return set()
node = node.children[char]
return node.all_prefixes()
And here's the Haskell:
module TST

Wow. Stand back from the monitor and squint at them :)
My opinion is that Python is massively more readable than Haskell.
Why is Python more readable?
The Python is executable pseudo-code. Python has this wonderful ability to read like a description of the algorithm you are implementing. If a list comprehension or something isn't obvious, you could just rewrite the Python in a less-pretentious way and recover this readability.
The Python has indent and this is important to speed-reading. It is telling you which lines you have to study - the function names, mostly, at first glance - and which bits you don't. Indent is very important to readability.
Second is the use of short words instead of symbols. Perhaps the Haskell is trying a little to hard to feel like algebra? In that direction lays APL (mind blowing cool video) but few call it readable.
Python goes further than most to use short concise words; COBOL used long words (I studied COBOL; mercifully forgotten it all now) and the curly-brackets club use more symbols than words, as though being less typing is faster. (FWIW, typing curly brackets on non-US keyboards requires an ambidextrous octopus. And just you try and find the back-tick!)
Python is so readable because of significant whitespace, its conciseness and use of small words instead of symbols.
Haskell is doing neither of these. There is some nicely indented functions but you get the feeling they are frowned upon by Haskellers. Haskell can move to `case` instead of all those duplicate left-aligned pattern preambles, but it seems sorely under-used. And still the symbols add noise in the squint test.
You really have to read each line of Haskell code, building a mental model of the Python-style indented functions and such in your head as, examining each line, you mentally juggle how it mutates this model.
(Side topic: I don't think its about being declarative or imperative.)
Most of the training material on Haskell that I've read is aimed at students with no prior programming experience. Almost as though, by learning Haskell first, you can avoid the tainting impurities of imperativeness and be a better programmer! Perhaps Haskell's unreadability is meant as a cleverness-filter to keep the practitioners elitist? Just joking. Perhaps more likely is that after staring at chalk-filled blackboards the idea of notation instead of short words seems no barrier at all, and they just have to find ascii line-art to bare a passing resemblance to such algebra. Perhaps C was popular because its Pascal with more symbols, so it must be cooler? If its hard to write it should be hard to understand mentality?
You can make functional languages in the Python readability style; you don't have to try so hard to look like algebra. You can make static fast languages in Python readability style too. This readability vs symbols is really the defining difference between Ruby and Python too.
There are as many new languages as ever; my dream programming language post got suggestions other than Haskell, including Rust, D and Tart. Those three are curly bracket languages again though. Big opportunity miss.
End is the same as a curly bracket; look at this Ruby:
class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :users do |t|
t.string :role
t.string :name
I once asked a friend to do a line-count on their Lua code. Fully 30% of non-empty lines contained just the keyword `end`. Talk about noise cluttering up and making the nesting less readable!
I lament that all languages aren't trying to be readable the Python way; to my thinking, it ought to be goal number 0.
Spelling Suggestions Problem
The Haskell goes on to use Levenshtein distance - edit distance - (here) to offer spelling corrections. Interestingly, Dr Pete Norvig has written a neat essay on this with Python source-code. Lets focus on readability over algorithm. Compare and contrast them too.
Dr Pete Norvig's spelling corrector leads us off on two nice tangents.
Firstly, A long time ago, the Test-Driven-Development gurus imagined that by writing test-cases and evolving the code to pass it they could solve problems they couldn't actually sit down and solve the traditional understanding-the-problem way. And it is so worth a read :)
As usual, tangents spring to mind: TDD evolving solutions is really paralleled in my old adventures in genetic programming and also Kolmogorov Complexity.
Secondly and sadly less compelling reading, I've been looking at tries vs sets for spelling correctors in the Causes challenge. Just thought experiments. A very long time ago I wrote a fast C crossword solver for an otherwise-Python entry in Al Zimmerman's word search contest. (Luckily a link that works; newer Al Zimmerman's contests have been pushed off-line and lost forever it seems.) It was a trie where at each depth it stored a linked list across words so you could find all words with an unknown at a particular point by iterating down the peers on each side. Its an idea that hasn't found so much favor in compression but which I think could be applied to LZ4 encoders perhaps. (Yet another rainy-day project.) And so I could imagine using a node in trie to navigate its peers to iterate over those that are edit-distance-1 -away, rather than generating all the possible words and seeing if they are in a word-list. This would be seeing if cache locality can ever beat O(1) random lookups in a hash table :)
(This post is inspired to explain why "looks like Python" is all through my dream programming language requirements. If you liked this, you may also like the rest of the blog ;) )
[Every blog post contains a small word-misuse for the grammar glue-chewers; this post its bare instead of bear. Do tell me if you spot any others that are accidental :) ]

With no other family to turn to after her mother's death, Blair finds herself in the custody of Ryan Ross.
"Do you understand miss?" The doctor, cloaked in white and punctuated in crimson, questioned as if searching for my vital signs.
Je ne comprends pas. Silently, restraining a giggle. "Of course I understand," I replied peering morbidly past him toward the operating room; he had failed to resuscitate my last remaining link to normality, what was there to no understand?
"You also understand that your mother left you without a viable guardian?" He continued awkwardly. I wondered if the person who normally took care of this part was on vacation, or if they just thought it would be better to have a doctor handling my shattered psyche.
"Mom never was much into details. The big picture, she told me, was the important part. I on the other hand, argued that an orchestra could never operate if the flutes never practiced."
"We need to know if you know of any living relatives," he prompted; I had to give the man points for persistence. Personally, I was quite content to fumble through the long night reliving the disagreements which has plagued my relationship with my mother.
"Uh," I had to think for a moment. "I have a cousin –Ryan- but I haven't seen him since our parents fell out when I was eleven. His dad died two years ago, and Mom won't… Wouldn't speak about him."
"Do you know his full name?"
"Ryan Ross," I answered, more terrified of returning to family than of the present situation. "He won't be interested though. Knowing our family he's some alcoholic living in the Vegas slums."
Ryan's POV
"Hey, uh… I got a bit of a weird call today," Ryan announced, shifting nervously as Spencer arrived on his doorstep.
"Yeah, you said," the younger musician commented, surveying the man he'd grown up alongside. "Care to share?"
"My aunt died," He said, backing away to let Spencer into the apartment.
"You have an aunt?"
"Yeah, you know my Dad's sister… They stopped coming around when I was fifteen or something."
"They?" Spencer had an idea where this conversation was going, and if he was honest, he could remember the woman… And a kid.
"My cousin," Ryan answered. "She hasn't got anywhere else to go…"
"Dude, you're a rock star, that doesn't exactly shout parenting potential."
"She's seventeen," Ryan defended. "She just needs a guardian for a few months, and I'm the only family she's got."
"You sure that a seventeen year old girl is what the band needs right now?"
"No, but I'm what she needs."
Ryan sunk down onto the sofa and after a moment Spencer lounged beside him, both contemplating in silence this repercussions of the decision Ryan had already made. Seventeen year old girl, rock band, thought Spencer, oh joy.
"You remember the day we were throwing golf balls into neighbours yards as kids?" Spencer asked, waiting for Ryan to nod in recognition. "I've had your back since then."

IRVING, Texas – One day after their decision to release Jay Ratliff, the Cowboys spoke about the implications and issues surrounding the move.
Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones, as well as coach Jason Garrett spoke to the media about the past year of uncertainty around Ratliff. Jones said the decision to release the veteran involved a number of variables – most notably, consideration of the salary cap and the team's prospects this season.
"This was a decision that certainly had salary cap implications – every decision does in this day and time," Jones said. "But it also had immediate consideration for what it's going to mean for this season, and we're excited about what our opportunities are here. So both of those things were part of this decision."
The decision to cut Ratliff will save the team the cost of paying him had he been moved to the injured reserve. That raises the question of why the Cowboys placed him on the Physically Unable to Perform List to start the season. But Garrett said he still had hope of using Ratliff after he strained his hamstring during his pre-training camp conditioning test.
"I think you're always hopeful about the health of every player and you make designations accordingly," he said. "I can give you 50 examples of decisions we've made as to when to put someone on IR and why, when to put someone on PUP and why, and when to keep someone on the active roster and why. That was the decision we made."
The matter of Ratliff's debilitating injury, not the hamstring strain but the one suffered against Cleveland in 2012, remains confusing. Mark Slough, Ratliff's agent, said Wednesday that his client's lower body injury had been mischaracterized as a sports hernia, when it in fact involved severe ligament and muscle damage.
Neither Jones nor Garrett would speak in specifics, as a matter of legal obligations. But both supported the reliability of the team's medical staff in its evaluations.
"I can't comment on the medical aspects of this thing. Without being trite, I don't want to be because this is not a trite matter," Jones said. "It's a sad matter, because we do need him and he wants to be out competing and helping his teammates and helping us win. But I can't operate in a world where I go back and take today's information and apply it to decisions made one year ago."
Garrett added: "We have a tremendous amount of confidence in our medical staff, and the only way that I can answer that is injuries are challenging and you don't always know how a player's
going to respond. The ability for him to come back in a timely manner – you make a lot of highly educated guesses about the status of a player based on the player, based on what the injury is, what particular position he may play. So you're always doing that. We do that every day."
That extends to the conditioning test, which both Garrett and Jones said is only ever performed at the discretion of the player involved. Again, though, few specifics were provided.
"I couldn't address that. I know it's up to the player to decide if he wants to test to see if he's physically able to play. That's up to the player," Jones said.

Police: Thief Tried To Trade Dogs For Cash
March 29, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
ST. CLOUD, Fla. (UPI) — Florida authorities said they arrested a woman accused of stealing two dogs and arranging to return them in exchange for money.
The Osceola County Sheriff's Office said a St. Cloud, Fla., man reported his two dogs, a pit bull and a black Labrador, were taken from his home while he was away last Saturday. A neighbor told deputies a woman was seen taking pictures on the property before driving away with the dogs, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Friday.
The homeowner said he found a note, written on green construction paper, on his door two days later.
"Dogs Found, Neglected and Abused … Please Text," the note read.
The man texted the phone number and made arrangements to trade money for the return of his dogs.
Police said a woman identified as Nicole Lee Moses, 29, of St. Cloud, was arrested when she arrived in the area of the arranged meeting.
The charges against the woman weren't detailed by the Sun Sentinel.
The dogs were returned to their owner.
