Foreign Policy: In the latest twist in our upside-down war on terror, President Obama withdraws troops fighting terrorists in Afghanistan and sends others to Egypt to protect a regime that supports terrorists.
According to reports, the commander-in-chief is deploying a riot-control unit from Fort Hood to Egypt to help the Islamofascist regime there repel its own citizens protesting increasing human-rights violations.
More than 400 Army soldiers from the Texas base will soon man posts throughout Egypt as part of a nine-month "peacekeeping mission." They've been trained to respond to threats, including protests and riots.
"Soldiers encountered Molotov cocktails and other dangerous items in the training," according to the local TV news station that broke the story out of Killeen, Texas.
The assignment comes ahead of a planned June 30 showdown between Islamists led by Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and secularists opposed to his Islamofascist crackdown.
As more and more Egyptians have called for toppling the regime on its first anniversary in power, U.S. Ambassador Anne Patterson has appealed for calm. "We oppose chaos," she pleaded with protesters. "Chaos is a breeding ground for instability."
Yes, better to protect radical strongmen like Morsi, a former Muslim Brotherhood leader whom the Obama administration helped bring to power. As we warned, Morsi has stacked Egypt's courts with mullahs and unleashed religious police enforcing austere Shariah law.
Under his burgeoning theocracy, the media and the arts have been censored, churches have been burned and women have been bullied into covering their heads and bodies with Islamic garb, a la Afghanistan.
Millions have signed petitions demanding Morsi step down over the growing human rights violations. Yet Morsi and his thugs are digging in their heels and now they'll have, of all things, American reinforcements.
This is the same regime that includes other Muslim Brotherhood leaders who have called the U.S. "the enemy" and called for jihad against American troops. This is the same Muslim Brotherhood that's the granddaddy of all major terrorist groups — including Hamas and al-Qaida, our sworn enemy.
Morsi has forged ties with Hamas and Hezbollah. Recently, he named as governor of Luxor a member of an Islamist group whose terrorists massacred 58 foreign tourists in the resort town in 1997.
Despite all this, the Obama administration is offering him our troops — along with billions in military aid.
Adding insult to injury, Obama's shipping out GIs from the same Army base shot up by a Muslim terrorist he refuses to call a terrorist — and one who got the OK for his jihadi attack from an al-Qaida cleric tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Worse, Obama refuses to recognize the victims of the Fort Hood attack as casualties of war and compensate them accordingly. In our president's see-no-Islamic-evil mind, they are mere employees caught up in a case of "workplace violence."
From the start of his administration, this president has turned a blind eye to the threat from Islamic terror. First he ordered Gitmo closed. Then he scrubbed jihad from counterterrorism training manuals.
Now he's surrendering to the Taliban and propping up a pro-jihad regime in Egypt. We're left wondering about his commitment to winning the war and protecting the country.

Showbiz Arabia: The Narcicyst returns to Dubai
The rapper performs at Thursday's Tiger Translate party
One of the artists at the forefront of the Arab hip-hop scene is without a doubt Yassin Alsalman, better known as The Narcicyst.
The multi-talented Iraqi-Canadian has made a name for himself in the region and worldwide since launching onto the scene back in 2000. He's released music, performed at some of the most established international music festivals, teaches at university and even had time to make his acting debut in Ali Mostafa's first feature film, 2009's City of Life (remember Khalfan? He was played by Yassin).
The Narcicyst returns to Dubai this evening to appear at Tiger Translate 2013 at the Media One hotel. He'll be appearing alongside LCD Soundsystem's Pat Mahoney, Zahed Sultan and Hamdan Al Abri, amongst others.
Here, he talks to tabloid! about turning 30, upcoming projects, as well as paving the way for future artists.
-You have close ties to Dubai – do you try and make time to visit regularly?
-I come every six months to visit as my parents live here. And I try and do as many shows when I come back. I moved out here for eight months to start a media company in Abu Dhabi before, but then decided against it, so I reside in Montreal, where I teach a hip-hop course at Concordia University.
-So what have you been up to in terms of your music?
-I have been refocusing the angle of my music. I turned 30 in 2012, therefore a lot of milestones happened in my career and life that made me re-focus my energy on a different perspective musically. That's what I have been doing in the past 12 months. In terms of performing, I have become more selective with the shows that I am doing. I did the jazz festival in Montreal and a show with Mos Def, for instance.
Also, I have been really focusing on campaigns – releasing a project or a song and really pushing it to its full capacity – before moving on to the next thing. Before, we were used to just releasing, releasing, and releasing constantly, without any sort of strategy with how to present our stuff.
-The older you get, the more structured you become…
-Yes, you slow down in the sense of output, because you are more selective in what you want to say.
-Media focus in the Middle East has obviously shifted from Iraq. Do you go there to stay in touch with your roots, for instance?
-Has it ever really been on it? (laughs) Being from Iraq, you have a perspective. I've been there but when I was very young. And the way I stayed in touch with Iraq was through my family. However, in the last 5-6 years, we moved everyone out, so everyone moved to different countries. But the Iraqi community is very fractured – outside of Iraq and inside. As much as we'd like to look at ourselves as a cohesive body, there's a divide and conquer model that worked on us, and that's what you hope doesn't happen in places, such as Syria.
-What is your new music going to focus on?
-Instead of being Iraq-focused, it has recently been more focused on being a young Arab in North America or being the son of an immigrant who's finding his own path and identity, and perhaps accepting the fact that perhaps we don't have an identity. Whether we live here or there, it really doesn't matter anymore. War is always a dark cloud that's always above you.
-Have ever had problems finding your identity as such?
-I've kinda given up on fitting in. Even amongst our friends, I am the loud one, and with the fashion or whatever, I became the one that stood out. It's a reflection of my personality. I like that I can roam the streets, I can play in places as far as Melbourne and it still feels like home. I grew up with a father that was really anti belonging to one place, whereas my mother was all about Iraq, so I had that mix. But I have accepted we don't have a home. Floating is our home. It's where your heart is. Sometimes it's Canada or Dubai or somewhere in Europe, for example.
-What's next for you?
-I'm working on a short film project based on my next album. I have been working on it for a year in my head, and finally got around to writing it. A good friend of ours Nissar turned it into script form, so hopefully that will get off the ground. I am hopefully going to be teaching another course at Concordia, but a more general, multimedia course.
-And music?
-The new album will be out in the third quarter of 2013, but I'll be releasing projects throughout the year. We also want to look at building the scene more intelligently and thoughtfully.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Only two memories brought tears to Sun Yaoting's eyes in old age -- the day his father cut off his genitals, and the day his family threw away the pickled remains that should have made him a whole man again at death.
China's last eunuch was tormented and impoverished in youth, punished in revolutionary China for his role as the "Emperor's slave" but finally feted and valued, largely for outlasting his peers to become a unique relic, a piece of "living history".
He had stories of the tortuous rituals of the Forbidden City, Emperor Pu Yi's last moments there and the troubled puppet court run by the Japanese during the 1930s. He escaped back to the heart of a civil war, became a Communist official and then a target of radical leftists before being finally left in peace.
This turbulent life has been recorded in the "The Last Eunuch of China" by amateur historian Jia Yinghua, who over years of friendship drew out of Sun the secrets that were too painful or intimate to spill to prying journalists or state archivists.
He died in 1996, in an old temple that had become his home, and his biography was finally published in English this year.
It unveils formerly taboo subjects like the sex life of eunuchs and the emperor they served, the agonising castrations often done at home and also often lethal, and the incontinence and shame that came with the promise of great power.
"He was conflicted over whether to tell the secrets of the emperor," said Jia, adding that Sun preserved a loyalty to the old system because he had dedicated so much of his life to it.
"I was the only person he trusted. He did not even confide in his family, after they threw away his 'treasure'", Jia added, using traditional eunuchs' slang for their preserved genitals.
They were discarded during the chaotic 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, when having anything from the "old society" could put lives at risk.
"He only cried about two things; when telling me about the castration and about the loss of his 'treasure'," said Jia, who works as an energy bureaucrat, but devotes all his spare time to chronicling the dying days of Imperial China after a childhood enthralled by the eunuchs and princes who were his neighbours.
Over years of painstaking research, he has gleaned arcane details about every aspect of palace life, along with secrets about the emperor's sexuality and cruelty that would look at home on the front page of tabloid newspapers.
For centuries in China, the only men from outside the imperial family who were allowed into the Forbidden City's private quarters were castrated ones. They effectively swapped their reproductive organs for a hope of exclusive access to the emperor that made some into rich and influential politicians.
Sun's impoverished family set him on this painful, risky path in hopes that he might one day be able to crush a bullying village landlord who stole their fields and burnt their house.
His desperate father performed the castration on the bed of their mud-walled home, with no anaesthetic and only oil-soaked paper as a bandage. A goose quill was inserted in Sun's urethra to prevent it getting blocked as the wound healed.
He was unconscious for three days and could barely move for two months. When he finally rose from his bed, history played the first of a series of cruel tricks on him -- he discovered the emperor he hoped to serve had abdicated several weeks earlier.
"He had a very tragic life. He had thought it was worthwhile for his father, but the sacrifice was in vain," Jia said, in a house stacked with old books, newspapers and photos.
"He was very smart and shrewd. If the empire had not fallen there is a high chance he would have become powerful," Jia added.
The young ex-emperor was eventually allowed to stay in the palace and Sun had risen to become an attendant to the empress when the imperial family were unceremoniously booted out of the Forbidden City, ending centuries of tradition and Sun's dreams.
"He was castrated, then the emperor abdicated. He made it into the Forbidden City then Pu Yi was evicted. He followed him north and then the puppet regime collapsed. He felt life had played a joke at his expense," Jia said.
Many eunuchs fled with palace treasures, but Sun took a crop of memories and a nose for political survival that turned out to be better tools for surviving years of civil war and ideological turbulence that followed.
"He never became rich, he never became powerful, but he became very rich in experience and secrets," Jia said.

Notes On The Latest WH Slide Show
I was also thinking about this photo — as well as the rest — in terms of gender.
On first pass, with Napolitano and Romer looking thoroughly engaged, it seems to strongly affirm the role of women in the administration. At the same time, however, it seems like the power triangle formed by Obama, Biden and Schiliro (perhaps better articulated by who has "a place at the table") also gives off a vibe of Napolitano and Romer as being in "the next echelon."
This latter perception (call it a gender gap?) come through more clearly in considering the full eight photos in this show as a group. Out of the entire set, there is only one other photo with a woman clearly present. That's this one, in which the four men occupying the center of the table are named in the caption, and the unidentified woman (curiously enough, framed under Obama's "measuring" hand) is seen at the table's opposite and far edge.
If one was trying to demonstrate the idea of the boys club, by the way, shot number two (whether including or excluding Roosevelt) would be red meat. Seeing that picture also immediately reminded me of (and made me even more uncomfortable) about this early portrait of Team 44's economic brain trust.

INDONESIA POLLS: New faces triumph over incumbents
Publication Date : 05-05-2014
A former national tennis player, a former shoeshine boy who is now chairman of the Ferrari Owners' Club of Indonesia and a bevy of artists are among the candidates who have won enough votes to be new MPs in Indonesia's 560-seat Parliament.
The ongoing tally of results of the April 9 General Election has also seen voters reject approximately half the incumbents who stood for re-election, including prominent MPs, in favour of fresh faces.
Heavyweights who failed to win a seat include House Speaker Marzuki Alie of the Democratic Party, Deputy Speaker Priyo Budi Santoso of Golkar and chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly Sidarto Danusubroto of the Indonesian Democratic Party-Struggle (PDI-P).
"This is a form of punishment from the public towards their representatives who they feel have failed to perform over the past five years," researcher Bawono Kumoro of The Habibie Centre said in an interview with The Straits Times. "It should also be a lesson and warning for new MPs."
Sitting ministers who ran for Parliament seats also lost, including Law Minister Amir Syamsuddin and Sports Minister Roy Suryo, both from the battered Democratic Party.
Several sitting MPs who were not re-elected have cried foul, saying they were cheated by candidates with deeper pockets.
Bawono said while this possibility cannot be ruled out, the widespread rejection of incumbents suggests voters also want new faces to speak for them.
While final results and seat allocations will be finalised only later this week - and even then, may be disputed - province-level counts give a strong indication of candidates who have made it.
There will be 10 parties in the new Parliament. The largest, PDI-P, is expected to get around 110 seats and the smallest, Hanura, around 30 seats.
New MPs will not be sworn in until this October, but some have already spelled out what they would focus on if elected.
For tennis coach Yayuk Basuki, 43, who reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in 1997 and won an Asian Games gold in 1998, this includes changing the way sports is managed in Indonesia.
A National Mandate Party candidate from Central Java, she hopes to lift the performance of her country's sportsmen and start a programme to help athletes balance school with sports, among others.
For others, like Ahmad Sahroni, 36, of the new National Democratic (NasDem) Party, it is improving the welfare of residents, many of whom he grew up with and who helped elect him.
The son of nasi padang sellers near North Jakarta's Tanjong Priok port shined shoes and loaned umbrellas to people when it rained to get by, before making his money selling fuel to ships.
Celebrities and former stars have been among the clearest winners to emerge in recent days.
Among those who won seats for the first time are former action hero movie star and Democratic Party candidate Dede Yusuf, 47, the former deputy governor of West Java, and racing car driver Moreno Suprapto, 31, who is from the Gerindra Party and elected from East Java.
Coming from a political family also helps; former international relations lecturer Ahmad Hanafi Rais, 34, was elected from Yogyakarta province.
A graduate of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, he is the eldest son of PAN founder and former Muhammadiyah chairman Amien Rais.
But Hanafi told The Straits Times his experience running for mayor of Yogyakarta city in 2011 - he lost - helped, as did a regular slot on a TV comedy show. He also took Javanese lessons to better communicate with older voters, and now plans to push for digital broadcasting, review cross-ownership of media and beef up the role of state broadcaster TVRI.
But political observer Donny Syofyan of Andalas University in West Sumatra finds that there are two sides to the high turnover of MPs and the emergence of new faces.
"The public wants figures of reform," he said. "But those who win are often public figures, media darlings or issue-makers. Many of the best also fail (to get in)."

BEIRUT - A bomb blast Thursday near a school in a Damascus suburb killed 16 people, at least half of them women and children, the state news agency reported. Russia, Syria's most important international ally, said for the first time that President Bashar Assad is increasingly losing control and the opposition may win the civil war.
The statement by Russia's deputy foreign minister comes as rebels make gains across the country and on the international stage and one day after the U.S. and NATO said Assad's forces had fired Scud missiles at rebel areas.
Rebels have seized large swaths of territory in north Syria and appear to be expanding their control outside of Damascus, pushing the fight closer to the seat of Assad's power. On Wednesday, the U.S., Europe and their allies recognized the newly reorganized opposition leadership, giving it a stamp of credibility and possibly paving the way for greater international aid to those fighting Assad's forces.
World powers have remained deadlocked on how to end Syria's crisis, with the U.S. Europe and many Arab nations calling on Assad to stand down while Russia, China and Iran continue to back him.
But Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov offered the first acknowledgement yet from a top Russian official that Assad's regime may be in trouble.
"We must look at the facts: There is a trend for the government to progressively lose control over an increasing part of the territory," Bogdanov said during hearings at the Kremlin advisory body, the Public Chamber. "The opposition victory can't be excluded."
He didn't suggest that Russia would immediately change its stance toward Assad and called for a political solution, saying continued war would be tragic.
"The fighting will become even more intense, and you will lose tens of thousands and, perhaps, hundreds of thousands of people," he said. "If such a price for the ouster of the president seems acceptable to you, what can we do? We, of course, consider it absolutely unacceptable."
The bomb blast in the Damascus suburb of Qatana, southwest of the capital, is the latest in a string of similar bombings in and around Damascus that the government says have killed at least 25 people in the last two days.
The government blames the bombings on terrorists, the term it uses to refer to rebel fighters.
While no one has claimed responsibility for the bombings, some have targeted government buildings and killed officials, suggesting that rebels who don't have the firepower to engage Assad's forces in the capital are resorting to other measures to weaken his regime.
Thursday's attack, however, killed civilians and could add to a growing wariness of the rebels among many Syrians.
Syria's SANA news agency said a car packed with explosives blew up near a school in a residential part of Qatana. The report quoted medics from a nearby hospital as saying 16 people were killed, including seven children and "a number" of women. It said nearly two dozen people were wounded.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the blast killed 17 people, including seven children and two women, adding that it was near a military residence. It did not say who carried out the attack.
Similar attacks hit four places in and around Damascus on Wednesday. Three bombs collapsed walls of the Interior Ministry building, killing at least five people. One of the dead was Syrian parliament member Abdullah Qairouz, SANA reported.
Other explosions Wednesday hit near the Palace of Justice, in the suburb of Jermana and in the upscale Mezzeh 86 district, heavily populated by members of Assad's minority Alawite sect. One of the three killed in that that bombing was a state TV journalist named Anmar Mohammed, SANA said.
The Observatory also reported the deaths of Qairouz and Mohammed and said the number of those killed in the Interior Ministry bombing had risen to nine.
Opposition activists suggested that the bombings were part of a new strategy by rebels to weaken Assad control of the capital by chipping away at his security forces with guerrilla style operations
"The Free Army is targeting military areas and security offices to try to lessen the number of forces that Assad has in the city," an activist named Ahmed said via Skype. He gave only his first name for fear of retribution.
Assigning responsibility for the blasts, however, remains difficult because rebels tend to blame attacks that kill civilians on the regime without providing evidence while competing groups often claim successful operations.
Assad's forces, too, appear to be escalating the fight. On Wednesday, two U.S. officials said the army had fired scud missiles from Damascus into northern Syria. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the matter.
One official estimated the army fired more than a half dozen Scuds.
In Brussels, a NATO official confirmed that the alliance's intelligence indicates the firing of Scud-type missiles.
Anti-regime activists say more than 40,000 people have been killed since the start of the anti-Assad uprising in March 2011.

While some artists can wax poetic about what inspires their work, Brooke Wilke Hoogendoorn's pieces speak for themselves.
"What inspires me? That's a hard question for me. I'm very, very visual, and that is pretty much what inspires me. I wouldn't know another way to say it," she says. "I'm just visual."
However inspiration strikes, it's clearly working. Hoogendoorn's pieces are hard to describe and easy to spot. And they have changed dramatically as of late. Hoogendoorn, you see, has long been a painter tasked with creating the visions of others in many cases.
"I do everything. Decorative painting, distressed furniture, I've painted on walls, on ceiling, murals, commissioned canvas work," she says of her background in decorative painting over the last 10 years.
But the quite pregnant mother of one says she's had a realization that she may not go back to the grueling decorative world. She's rather enjoying her new endeavor of abstract pieces, which is what struck our eye.
"I want to just focus on my artwork now," she says.
Hoogendoorn loves both color and muted pieces. Still early into a new journey as an artist apart from her earlier commissioned work that often had a folk art vibe, she is still finding herself as an artist in many ways — something artists sometimes do for a lifetime.
"I'm in this huge transition in my life and art right now. I'm getting out of doing what people want me to do anymore and to be able to do what I want to do right now. This is where I want to go from here on out," Hoogendoorn says.
Despite this new chapter, Hoogendoorn remains confident in her earlier work, noting she has some of the pieces hanging in her own home.
There is a coincidence in the timing of this fresh outlook: She is awaiting the birth of her second child.
"I feel like I'm really reinventing myself," Hoogendoorn says.
OCT 22 This entertaining short (15 minutes) film on Munchies is all about Boudin. Thank goodness it's just a documentary-style piece filled with the voices and faces of south Louisiana, as opposed to outsiders waxing poetic about our regional specialties. But be warned, there is some pretty graphic pig butchery going on here, so if you're squeamish it may not be for you.
OCT 22 A state judge threw out the lawsuit of a former employee of the LSU Alumni Association, the Advocate reports here. The employee had claimed the former director of the group gave her a job so she'd have sex with him, and after she left agreed to continue to pay her -- so she'd have sex with him. Apparently you get no points for hutzpah.
OCT 22 Education blogger Mike Deshotels writes about the retraction of the Cowen report in this post. However you slice it, the Recovery School District is still failing, he says. (But Mike, doesn't that depend on what the intention was? If no one ever meant the RSD to fix public education, it's working perfectly, isn't it?)
OCT 22 A major Jindal donor was allowed to avoid the competitive bid process in the purchase of a state office building in Monroe, blogger Tom Aswell reports in this post on Louisiana Voice. The circumstances he lays out here are pretty stinky.
OCT 22 While Govs. Bobby Jindal and Rick Perry attempt to fan the flames of Fox Newsian hysteria into viable presidential hopes with talk of building walls to keep out the Ebola, LA Times columnist Mike Hiltzik gives them some national press they probably don't want: if you want to save lives, he says, try accepting Medicaid expansion. Wups!
OCT 22 It's hard to pick out the most interesting part of this post on Mother Jones about Texas lieutenant governor candidate Dan Patrick (His claim that migrant workers will bring leprosy to Texas? That Connie Chung's show should be called "Slanted Eye to Eye"?) But of course we must go with the comments about our very own Duck people, and how they are the spokesmen for God.
OCT 22 Advocate owner (and rich guy) John Georges must be doing a little happy dance today. As his paper reports here, the Times Picayune is further reducing its footprint in NOLA, by laying off 100 people and moving their printing operations to Mobile. (Yes, Alabama.) Does this mean the Advocate won?
OCT 22 Baton Rouge's downtown is now starting to show significant growth, this post on DIG Baton Rouge reports. With new construction, new restaurants and new housing units popping up, the downtown area is finally starting to look like a capital city, the story says.
OCT 21 Two St. John Parish employees were indicted in connection with the amoeba found in the parish water supply, WVUE reports in this post. They are accused of lying about testing the water for proper chlorine levels, the story says, claims that were contradicted by their government vehicles' GPS records.
OCT 21 The McClatchy DC blog posts this fascinating view of Louisiana's political landscape. It's a little heavy on the cliches, and also a little heavy on the quaint Cajun/Creole shtick, but it's still good reading -- if only for the outside view of our insides.
OCT 21 Here's an interesting story from the National Journal about New Orleans almost 10 years post-Katrina. There are demographic information and charts, as well as some commentary about the corresponding changes in the way the city looks and works.

Despite the raw performance of eSATA and the ubiquity of USB, the IEEE 1394 standard (a.k.a. FireWire or i.Link) still has a strong following among users of devices like digital camcorders. And it's about to get a good deal faster. TG Daily reports that the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers has approved a new FireWire specification that will quadruple transfer speeds.
Today's fastest FireWire implementations are still based on the 2002 standard, which runs at up to 800Mbps (100MB/s). The IEEE 1394-2008 specification will allow connections with top speeds of either 1.6Gbps (200MB/s) or 3.2Gbps (400MB/s). Best of all, the new spec will reportedly maintain backwards compatibility with current FireWire cables and ports.
TG Daily quotes the IEEE as saying 200-400MB/s FireWire devices should start materializing in October. The latest iteration of FireWire will probably compete with the upcoming USB 3.0 standard, which will offer theoretical maximum bandwidth up to 4.8Gbps (600MB/s). USB 2.0 doesn't compare favorably to 400Mbps FireWire despite its higher maximum speed, however, so USB 3.0 won't necessarily be quicker than the new FireWire.

Shave Like The Ancients Did With The Beluga Razor

Do you grab a seven-bladed monstrosity, cast in bright orange plastic and chrome and made to last three shaves? No. You reach for a single blade beauty, a razor that can shave four star generals and the common Joe with equal aplomb. You're going to reach for… Read More

Lychee season
It's lychee season!!!
As you can tell I'm super excited. Every summer I eagerly anticipate the arrival of many fruits, but the two most in particular that I love are cherries and lychees. Lychees are generally available around here in San Diego in late July through mid August.
Lychee tend to look slightly different depending on what country they are imported from. These ones I photoed, I purchased from Ranch 99, and they were imported from Taiwan. I absolutely love the red hue of the skin.
For those unfamiliar with lychee, it's a tropical fruit (originally from China) that is usually a little bigger than the size of a cherry (around 1 1/2 times bigger). It has an exterior shell which you must peel off. The flesh is translucent. When you bite into it, juices will immediately squirt out. The juice of the lychee is syrupy sweet so it's almost like eating candy rather than eating fruit.
Coop's West Texas BBQ
Ever since FH and I tried Coop's BBQ during the BBQ Crawl, FH has been hounding me non-stop to go back. FH usually isn't so passionate about wanting to eat somewhere, so we went back this past weekend to satisfy his cravings.
Because Coop's closes early on the weekends, we decided to order food to go. They were so busy that it took us a while to get through on the phone. They were taking the phone off the hook temporarily for short periods of time when the restaurant was overwhelmed with orders. We finally got through after about three tries and I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't want to think what would happen if FH didn't get his bbq.
We had loved the ribs and the brisket last time we went. We had four people eating so we decided to get two slabs of ribs. One slab or ribs is plenty of meat, and completely packs a take out container. Rip tips are included in the slabs, giving you extra meat.
No Bake Oreo Cheesecake
I had my No Bake Dessert Party this past weekend, and one of my favorite desserts coming out of it was this No Bake Oreo Cheesecake that I wanted to share a few more pictures of.
In some ways, the No Bake version is a little bit fussier than the baked version of a cheesecake because you need to let it firm up in the fridge for at least 6 hours. But I really enjoyed the taste and I was surprised that I didn't miss the eggs and other ingredients that go in a baked cheesecake.

Omaha rallied with single runs in the seventh and eighth innings, as the Storm Chasers edged the Salt Lake Bees 3-2 to take a 1-0 lead in the Best of Five Pacific Coast League Championship Series. Salt Lake led 2-1 in the seventh when with two outs and no one on base, Rey Navarro extended the inning with a single to center. Manny Pina followed with a double into the left field corner to bring home Navarro with the tying run. Irving Falu opened up the eighth with a single to left and advanced to second on a sacrifice. After Anthony Seratelli walked, Ben Broussard lined a 1-1 pitch from Dustin Richardson to center to score Falu with the eventual winning run. The Bees went three up, three down in the top of the ninth to close out the game.
After rain suspended play after one and one-half innings on Tuesday night with the game tied 1-1, Luis Rodriguez gave the Bees a 2-1 lead when he led off the fourth by lifting a 3-1 pitch from Clayton Mortensen over the right field fence for his first postseason home run. Salt Lake managed only five hits in the game, none after Rodriguez' home run. Rusty Ryal drove in the first Bees' run with an infield single in the second inning that tied the game at 1-1. Barry Enright went four and one-third innings and allowed no runs on five hits. The Bees' infield turned four 6-4-3 double plays.

Pharoah Smithers
- Published in Obituaries
COOKEVILLE — A celebration of the life of Pharoah Smithers Jr. (Smitty or Junior to many), 71, will be held at Hampton's Crossroads Baptist Church in Cookeville at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18.
The family will receive friends at Presley Funeral Home from 4-9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 17, and at Hampton's Crossroads Baptist Church from noon until 2 p.m. on Saturday before the service.
Pharoah was the husband and dance partner of Blanche Hawkins Smithers for almost 52 years.
Pharoah was born Nov. 30, 1942, in Scott County, Tenn.
After graduation, he moved to Cookeville and soon fell in love. He married Blanche Hawkins Smithers in 1962. Pharoah was a Snap-On Tool dealer for 23 years and previously worked for Sun Electric Corporation for 10 years. After retiring and selling his Snap-On dealership, Pharoah became a passionate and devoted volunteer for Mended Hearts at Cookeville Regional Medical Center. Pharoah and Blanche volunteered for Mended Hearts for more than 10 years, and Pharoah was president for several years until his death. As a Mended Hearts volunteer, he was instrumental in placing more than 119 AEDs in local schools, churches and police cars. He was also a certified CPR instructor and accredited hospital visitor.
Pharoah was an involved member of Hampton's Crossroads Baptist Church for five years, and previously attended Midway Baptist Church with his family. He was an active volunteer there, in such roles as Sunday school director. Pharoah was a devoted and loving husband, dad, and Papa. He was a giving friend to anyone who needed help. He loved to boat and travel and passed those loves to his children and grandchildren. Pharoah's sparkling blue eyes, generous spirit, and kind gestures will be missed by all who knew him.
His life is celebrated by their son, Greg Smithers, his wife, Elizabeth Hayes Smithers; their daughter, Kinner Smithers; Pharoah and Blanche's daughter, Mona Brantley, her husband Jason Brantley, and their daughter AnaMargot Brantley. He is also survived by his brother, Barney Smithers (Judy); and his sisters, Wanda Ruth Henry (Ledford) and Edith Storey; and brothers and sisters-in-law, Wayland Hawkins (Karen) and Betty Breeding (Fred).
Pallbearers will be Lester Bouldin, Kevin Breeding, Steve Hunter, Vernon Neal, Harding Smith, Doyle Taubert and Russ Quay.
Honorary pallbearers will be Mended Hearts' Accredited Visitors and members of the Crazy 8's.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be sent to Mended Hearts Chapter 127, 1420 Yorktown Court, Cookeville TN 38501.
You may share your thoughts or send condolences to the family by visiting www.presleyfuneralhome.com.

Budget cuts: $10 billion down, $23 billion to go
by Tap Money
posted Apr 1 2011 1:47PM
They have cut the easy stuff: Broadband subsidies, emergency steel loans and the International Fund for Ireland. Over the past month, Congress has enacted $10 billion in 2011 spending cuts. Now, with just a week to go before a government shutdown, lawmakers are fighting over a deal that would set spending levels for the final six months of the fiscal year and keep the government open for business. That would mean an end to the short-term budget fixes that have tied agencies in knots, and generally wrecked havoc on the operations of the federal government.

First Reserve to sell 4.25 pct of Spain's Abengoa
MADRID, Sept 4
MADRID, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Abengoa shareholder FR Alfajor Holdings, a company that groups stock owned by U.S. private equity firm First Reserve Corp., is placing about 4.25 percent of the Spanish renewable energy firm in the market, bookrunner Citi said.
FR Alfajor is selling 35.7 million Abengoa Class B shares - representing about 4.25 percent of Abengoa's total shares - through an accelerated bookbuilding process, Citi said in a stock market notice on Thursday.
FR Alfajor will still hold over 52.6 million Class B shares in Abengoa after the transaction, as well as other rights to buy more stock. The shares will be placed among professional investors within the next day, Citi said. (Reporting by Sarah White, Editing by Susan Thomas)
