Last call for opinions on Spotify in 2013! Here's ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr using his "alternative Queen's speech" column inches in NME (via FACT) to express his distaste for the streaming service and what it represents: "I think it entirely hampers new bands," he says. "I can't think of anything more opposite to punk rock than Spotify. I have no answer to the economic side of the music industry, but I do think we certainly shouldn't stop valuing what bands do. I don't like great things being throwaway."

Not to be outdone by his frenemy Morrissey, former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr has an autobiography in the works, too. Marr—who put out his first solo album this year—recently told Brooklyn Vegan:
Echo Chamber: Johnny Marr on People Who Want the Smiths to Reunite

"If people get genuinely upset and frustrated that four men that last played together 25 years ago are doing other things, then those people need to go and find a hobby. If the band only split up two years ago it might be a different matter, but 25 years? Come on. It's a long time. If you like the Smiths, the records, photographs and memories are all plenty to be getting along with."

Johnny Marr Says Label Blocked Smiths Rarities Set
By Carrie Battan on June 19, 2013 at 10:10 a.m. EDT
Former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr tells NME that, in addition to the massive Smiths box set released in 2011, he wanted to put out another box set, collecting the band's rarities and instrumental tracks. But that hasn't seen the light of day because of "record label politics", he says.
Watch Johnny Marr Tell the Story Behind the Smiths' "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now"
By Carrie Battan on February 14, 2013 at 12:48 p.m. EST
It's been nearly 26 years since the Smiths split, but their breakup is still a sore spot for all involved parties. Which is why it's especially noteworthy that guitarist Johnny Marr sat down with NME to perform the landmark Smiths single "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now". He hasn't performed the song in about 25 years, he said.

Standardizing Integrators: Program Organizers Speak Out
SIA staff and committee members explain the proposed security systems integration training and certification program
Nuffer explains that it's his personal opinion that the CSPM program has seen slow adoption partly because applicants are required to take the entire training program before they can take the test to earn the designation. That kind of testing requirement doesn't account, he says, for those who already know the material.
The proposed SSDS program has been designed specifically to avoid that kind of pitfall. Nuffer explains that training is modular and the full training pogram isn't required to take the test. From an integrator's perspective, he notes, a full training requirement would mean losing an employee for a length of time -- meaning also that the company loses income based on that designer's work. With this system, designers will be able simply to take the test to prove their knowledge, or can brush up on a specific training module before taking the certification test.
"The SSDS is structured so that people who already know this stuff don't have to go through the training program just to take the test,†Nuffer reiterates.
It's important they avoid that hurdle, says Nuffer, because he says there have already been some hiccups with the program from integrators' perspectives. There's the concern that once becoming certified, trained designers could be stolen away by another company. Company owners worry that the new certification will mean they have to pay their certified designers and certified technicians more to keep them, and there are even concerns of duplicated training. Some say that the lowest level of the SSDS program –- the "installer†level -– might inadvertently compete with the NICET certification programs.
Why we need it
SIA's Holly Wells explains that the program is patterned somewhat off the IT world, where skills and technical knowledge are codified by a number of certifications. She notes that, in terms of certifications, the there will be similarities with the CSPM (Certified Security Project Manager) designation, and that while the two certifications will be "in the same world, they'll exist for different reasons.â€
Nuffer adds that there's a strong tendency in the IT world – a world integrators are more and more involved with – to look for certifications before hiring. Being able to prove you have the knowledge, he says, means that integrators can access new jobs.
And while much of the standardization of integrators is coming from directly within the integration and manufacturer communities, end-users will likely smile at the possibility of seeing their integrators standardized. At the SecureWorld Expo, where Security Technology & Design magazine offered a convergence education track for end-users, a number of top end-users expressed their frustration in working with integrators. The comments varied widely, but themes included that their experience with integrators was one sometimes of just "smoke and mirrorsâ€; others said that the IT skills and knowledge they needed from an integrator often vanished from the hired company if a particular employee departed.
And while there are some early cries for standardization from the end-user community, in order to really get the program adopted, it's going to take a pattern of adoption from industry security consultants.
"They are the ones who can write it in their RFP that 'SSDS certification will be a plus,'†explains Nuffer. "There will be some enlightened integrators who will jump on this as soon as it's available, but we'll probably have to rely on the consultants. They are the ones who could force the adoption of SSDS.â€

SIA's Doug Wright can provide additional information about this proposed SSDS training and certification program. He can be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Of the "60 Most-Influential Foreigners Shaping the Last 60 Years of Chinese Development", the China Global Times decided that Margaret Thatcher was the only woman who made the cut. 70 percent of the finalists were selected by readers, while 30 percent were recommended by "academics".
Margaret Thatcher is best known as Britain's shining example of virtue, who opposed the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification. She earned a spot because she gave Hong Kong back to the People's Republic of China. Meanwhile, even Michael Jackson and the former soccer coach for Yugoslavia made the list.
A China-friendly choice would be Svetlana Orlova, who led a delegation of Russian women to China for Russia's National China Week. Other figures such as Hillary Clinton, who has been interacting with China professionally for decades, and Aung San Suu Kyi, are too controversial.
Will Michele Flournoy, the current U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, make the list in another 10 years? Let's hope the next decade yields more recognition for smart women leaders like Flournoy who continue to interact with China.
2 Comments
I love how you quote Thatcher's opposition to a unified Germany as a mark against her name, when Britain had many historical reasons for fearing a reborn greater German reich (however unfounded). Hardly Maggie's worst hour.
If you want to have a go at Thatcher, maybe start at the Falklands conflict and move to the Miners' strike by way of support for Apertheid and Pinochet's Chile, then remember that Thatcher consistently obstructed the advance of women within her government and party.

What is an RSS Feed?
Keeping up with the news from your favorite Web sites can be a daunting task. Dozens of items might get posted in a day and content can surface (and get buried) in multiple places on a home page. Instead of returning over and over to the site, why not let the publication's contents come to you?
That's the idea behind RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication. As its name implies, RSS brings to you most or all of everything that publishes on Web sites that offer (free) RSS subscriptions.
"RSS is the most popular way to get your favorite web content without a browser," said Rogers Cadenhead, chairman of the RSS Advisory Board, a group that oversees the Web format.
A good way to think of an RSS feed is as a paperboy who delivers the news right to your doorstep, rather than you having to go out and obtain a copy of the newspaper.
"Instead of making you click around to see if anything's new, RSS brings the information to you," Cadenhead said.
Read the feeds
Syndicated content is collected in software known as an RSS reader , and usually presented in the form of the original articles' headlines. These clickable headlines link to the original, full article on its native Web site.
This setup is an advantage over scanning a Web page for its article titles and clickable links to read the full story; rather like the paper-hawking newsies of yore hollering on street corners, the headlines are clearly announced in an RSS reader without you having to dig for them.
RSS readers also let you sort sites into categories of your choosing or making, such as "Sports" and "Music" for example. That way, you can monitor the stories on ESPN.com and Rolling Stone.com, say, without having to directly visit and navigate their respective home pages.
A well-known free reader is Google Reader, but many different kinds exist and offer distinctive features for organizing and displaying the syndicated content.
Sign up!
Once you have picked your reader, signing up for a Web site's RSS feed is easy: simply look for a small, square, orange icon with three white "radio waves " on it (a mini-version of the image at top of this article), or the nearby text identifying the site's feed options.
Take this link that lists recent stories and insert it into your RSS reader where it will say something along the lines of "add a subscription." In most readers you can also enter a Web site's name or brand and the reader will locate the feed – try entering "TechNewsDaily," for instance, to get our RSS feed.
Since 1999, RSS has grown to now appear on virtually every major news site and most blogs, so staying up on news and views courtesy of the Internet has never been easier. "RSS turned ten last year, so at this point it's a stable part of the Internet's infrastructure that all developers and web publishers can count on," Cadenhead said.

Laptop vs. desktop: depending on your lifestyle, the choice of desktop or laptop can be a difficult one. With some information, this decision can be easier.
In this fast-changing technological world, sometimes you are faced with some difficult choices. For instance, your current computer has matured to the ripe old age of six months and has been deemed obsolete. Now it's time to purchase a new computer and the question is, "Should I buy a laptop or a desktop?" But just because laptops are the new craze, it does not mean that you should run right out and get one. There are benefits and drawbacks that must be weighed.
Of course, the main benefit of a laptop is the portability. This can be a huge benefit, allowing you to take your computer to and from work, on planes, on camping trips, and practically anywhere else. Along with this benefit comes a large drawback. It is just as easy for someone else to walk off with it as it is for you. Laptops are stolen at an alarming rate, because they are just so easy to steal. And when that computer is stolen, not only do you lose the value of the computer, but also all of your valuable data.
Another major drawback of a laptop is that their parts are "proprietary" which means that if your laptop breaks, only the company that made it will be able to fix it, and after the warranty expires they will be very happy to charge you an exorbitant price for that service. While with a desktop computers, you are able to take advantage of your local computer store which will often fix it at a much more reasonable rate.
A third drawback to the laptop craze is that in general, laptops are far more expensive than desktop systems. For the price of an average laptop, you could purchase a much more powerful desktop. Of course, what you are paying for is the portability of a smaller design, but is that worth it? While it can be very fun to take your computer with you on a camping trip, how often do you need to type something up while fishing?
Now, the laptop is a very important part of the computer market, and I am not trying to dissuade people from buying them if they have need for them, but I have just seen far too many people dissatisfied with their laptops and wishing that they had purchased a desktop.
One main example of this group of people is college students. Often first year students purchase laptops because they plan on taking their computers to class with them and being able to do their homework anywhere on campus. The stark reality of it is that laptops get stolen far too often at college, even right out of the dorm rooms, because they're just so portable. To add to this, I do not know a single student who uses their laptop in classes. While a noble ambition, no one actually carries through with this plan.
Laptops should be viewed as a purchase that should only be made when necessary. You would not purchase a car with 4-wheel drive (no matter how fun it looked) unless you actually had use of that feature, because otherwise it wouldn't justify the added cost. The same is true of laptops.

Mozzaluna Pizzeria is located at 17700 West Capitol Drive in Brookfield, Wisconsin, in the Stonewood Village shopping center. The location is well known to many Milwaukeeans as the former location of Mr. B's Steak House:
Mozzaluna is a local, family owned restaurant featuring the finest wood fired Neapolitan style pizza in the Milwaukee area. What is Mozzaluna's Neapolitan Pizza? It starts with house made dough using imported Italian flour. Just prior to baking, the dough is hand stretched and topped with your choice of ingredients including fresh mozzarella cheese, spicy sopresatta salami, prosciutto de Parma, and incredibly fresh vegetables. The pizza is then baked in our wood fired oven at 700 degrees for only 2 to 4 minutes. The pizza has a thin crispy crust, the edges puff up slightly creating a light rim, and the flavors of the toppings blend to a produce a light, delicious combination that many people have called the best pizza they have ever eaten. If you want it eat it true Italian style, order it "uncut" and eat it using a knife and fork.
We invite you to contact Barb or Phil LeClaire for more information or to arrange media coverage of the event.

Done the Elevated Command Prompt and it didn't find anything wrong. I did have a black screen tho that progrested thru a scan. When my computer would restart there would be a window that wanted me to log on and click OK. It said Program family, jucheck.exe and verified publisher Oracle America. On the third start I put in my password and it opened Java wanting to update. When I clicked on ok the updated failed. Any sujestions? Thanks
My suggestion would be to use this tool...
JavaRa | SingularLabs
...to uninstall all versions of Java that you might have.
If you never miss Java - then great. If you need it, then install it (but read the screens and opt out of the junk that might install with it).
|My System Specs

I don't know if I use java. My grand kids do play games on this computer. How will I know if I need it, and what if I delete it and something fails to work? Thanks
|My System Specs
|18 Sep 2012
Yep - lots of games use Java or Flash - both of which are a security problem.
If you go to this website...
Bookworm | Play Online - Yahoo! Games
...without Java installed, you should see this:
But sadly, not all websites are that clear about needing Java.
This US government site (NOAA) just silently fails:
If you decide to leave Java installed, please keep it up to date. And do not let the grand kids operate the computer with administrator privileges. That way, if the do happen to visit a website that uses Java exploits to install nasties, they will not be able to install most things.
|My System Specs
|18 Sep 2012
I am having trouble figuring out if I need to and how to up date Java. I can't find an icon or thumbnail to open Java to check for updates. Thanks
|My System Specs
|18 Sep 2012
I went to Bookworm and it seemed to load a word puzzle just fine. I am having trouble finding a icon or thumbnail for Java so I can open it to check for updates. Thanks
|My System Specs
|18 Sep 2012
You can use this tool to remove old versions and to update the one that you have:
JavaRa | SingularLabs
Or - if you wish to do it manually:
Start > Control Panel
Once the Control Panel window appears...
...look in the upper right corner
...change the "View by:" to large or small icons
Look for the Java icon
Or your setup might have the Control Panel as a menu - in which case:
Start > Control Panel > Java
Click on that icon or shortcut
...once the window appears
...select the tab named Update
...then the button named Update Now
There are some problems with the update steps above:
Updating does not always get rid of old versions.
Updating fails more than it should.
Hence the need for a tool like JavaRa.
|My System Specs
|20 Sep 2012
Okay, I created another problem. I did what you said about trying to update Java in control panel. During the process I clicked on the update button and it eliminated my desktop picture which was centered on screen. All that was left was a very thin white line, approx. 1/16 " wide, dead center on screen. Was that my original picture? I reinstalled the same desktop picture, but it looks like it pushed the think white line over to the right edge of my desktop picture. What do you think happened there? Can I eliminate that line? Weired Thanks
|My System Specs
|20 Sep 2012
Wow - sorry that things did not go smoothly.
I don't use a desktop image - so I've not seen the things that might happen to them as various updates take place. I would not think that Java would have anything to do with the desktop image (which is shown to you by the Explorer program)... but for you, there seemed to be a connection.
I'm sorry to have to ask you to do some steps again, but could you please perform the SFC /scannow sets like you did earlier in this thread. If you run it once and things come back clean, then run it a second time just for fun :-)
If one of the runs indicates a problem, then keep running it until you get two clean runs back to back (two runs that do not show a problem).
Be sure and start the command prompt windows with admin rights:
more info if you need it
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
After that - please run a scan with WDO:
What is Windows Defender Offline?
|My System Specs
|21 Sep 2012
I'll do that over the weekend. Thanks
|My System Specs
|22 Sep 2012
I did the sfc /scannow twice, nothing showed up. Or maybe there is, and I don't know what to look for. In the sfc /scannow window nothing shows up after it completes, and it says something like check found all file integrity. I then click on the red X at the top of the window and then click on start and restart. Wonder if I could go back to the day before (don't know how to pick a particular day) in restore point and maybe get rid of that thin white line? Thanks

Blueberry Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Pecan
It's July and it is hot as a firecracker outside and in! I don't know who in their right mind would turn on the oven in this heat! Well, except yours truly. I had a reason behind my madness. Wanna hear it? Good....I thought so. I figured, if I turned on the oven and made this fantastic Blueberry Coffee Cake for hubby and the boys, I could get a couple of breakfast meals, or snacks, out of it.....no turning on the oven a second time! Make sense? Maybe not but it was reasonable to me. A huge plus since I, one....used up all the blueberries in the fridge that were going to go bad. And two ..... I have been wanting to make this for a long time!
Hot out of the oven!

It's been around a very long time and it could very well be your Mama, and your Grandma, made this cake. Yes, indeed. Chocolate, caramel, candy and cool whip!!!! Shut the front door! Hurry up and make this for yourself or that someone that you know that needs this. Needing is a good thing, at least when you are talking Butterfinger Cake. Right?

Pumpkin Spice Carrot Cake
Hubby bought me a food processor a few weeks ago and I am just now getting around to figuring out how it operates. At first, it was very frustrating not having it seal correctly. Now, it is a breeze to use, I don't know what I did different other than read the directions ~wink~ and love using it! Yesterday, I decided to make a Pumpkin Spice Carrot Cake....using the food processor. I wasn't happy with the outcome in the beginning since I ended up with a very wet egg and sugar mixture. It was not at all what I envisioned, however, I decided to go forward with it anyway. I'm so glad I did! Though, I didn't know where I was going with it...pie or cake. It turned out to be a little of both. I have also made this cake using my stand mixer and it was tall, moist and wonderful. My boys ate it all without icing! Either way, you will love this!

Cranberry Coconut Cream Poke Cake
Holidays; music, laughter, togetherness and food! That is what winter holidays bring to mind. No matter the occasion, it is celebrated with food while people gather..laughter overheard while music fitting the day, plays softly in the background. With our family, each person brings something. Grandma and her Chicken and Dumplings. My other Grandma always made a Sour Cream Pound Cake. Mama and her Blueberry Cake. Daddy always roasted the turkey. Papa always manned the grill. This Cranberry Coconut Cream Cake, if I had thought about it before, it would be my go to cake. So easy..as most of my recipes are, and bursting with delightful flavors! I know this would have been a favorite of my Daddy's seeing how his favorite cake to eat was coconut. Make this refrigerator cake to take with you on your holidays visits and be prepared to be asked to make it again and again. Make this a day ahead as it gets better the longer the flavors have time to mingle.

Chocolate Pudding Cake
An old recipe passed down and around from generation to generation. Old classics, from our parents and grandparents, are the ones that are dear to my heart. Tried and true, they are truly amazing. Withstanding the test of time to be made over and over and over, again. Just reading an old recipe can make my heart smile with sweet and loving memories of years gone by. ~heartfelt smile~

Devil's Food Mayonnaise Cake
I've heard about mayonnaise cakes for the longest of times. Certainly they have been around forever. Your precious mama and grandma, most likely, made them for you. I'm pretty certain mine did even though I despise mayo or miracle whip. If you have been around here, you know the story, how my mean sister made me eat a heaping tablespoon of the white stuff. ~shivers thinking about it~ This is the only way I will ever eat it. Ever! You will not notice it at all, I promise. It makes the cake very moist, even when using a cake mix. Go ahead and try it, you will be glad you did. I will be making one from scratch soon and look forward to sharing it, along with two other mayonnaise cakes I made this past week. Yes, my boys really love them. They don't know what the secret ingredient is, I'm not certain I'm going to tell them, either. ;)

Lime Pound Cake Loaf
I made this recipe, which is supposed to bread, but is more like pound cake, and topped it with a refreshing drizzle of lime glaze. I took it to the pool and in no time at all, it was gone! So refreshing on a hot day. Enjoy!

Dark Chocolate Coca Cola Cake From A Cake Mix
Two ingredients, well three if you add chips, nuts or marshmallows, in this moist and wonderful dark chocolate cake! The icing, you can make as much and as thick, as you wish.
I made a lot of icing to pour over the hot cake so it ended up as a rich, very moist and almost like a pudding cake. Gooey and decadent. Eat it warm or cold, my preference, out of the refrigerator. But, do, keep it in the fridge. Grab a fork and spoon and dig in!

Vanilla Cherry Pie Bars
I found out that cake and pie filling make a wonderful fast dessert! Numerous recipes have been around for a gazillion years doing this. Where have I been? I'm just glad I finally decided to make this! Get that box of cake mix out along with the can of pie filling and make these yummy pie bars. I've added vanilla chips as an option. They are good, however, there was too much vanilla for me. If you love vanilla, then, by all means, add the chips!. Here is your slice, right out of the oven. ~smile~

Lemon Sour Cream Pound Cake
I made my Sour Cream Pound Cake lemony for Easter and it turned out wonderful, or so says my family. ~smile~ I was going to use real lemons but didn't have enough to use in the cake and the glaze, and went with extract instead, which worked out great. Next time I'll plan ahead and be certain to have more lemons on hand. Happy Easter and many Blessing to you and yours. I hope you enjoy the day, and this cake, with those dear to you.

Carrot Cake
I LOVE Carrot Cake!! I think it is one of my all time favorite cakes. While I was growing up my Beloved Aunt Ree Ree would always bake our favorite cake on our birthday. That and a dollar or two in a card were treasured. We were able to eat the first slice and shared the rest with pleasure. Lately, I have been wanting one and just haven't been able to make one. Each time I go to the fridge, I find the mini horses have eaten all the carrots. I blame my hubby for that but no worries..the minis love carrots, too.
I watched The Pioneer Woman this morning and was inspired to make Sloppy Joe Hoagies and a Carrot Cake. I wanted to make the Chocolate Dipped Granola Bars but didn't have time. Perhaps in a day or two when the cake is gone. The cake is an easy recipe to make. It's one I have made for many, many, many, many years, yes, that long. I usually make a little icing. My boys and I eat it as is. Hubby likes the icing so we let him eat it all if he wants. Enjoy!
This recipe can also be found here.

Dark Chocolate Bean Cake with Raspberry Sauce
I am always looking for new recipes to make. Especially ones I can sneak something healthy into like veggies or beans. This time I used beans and nobody was the wiser. It has a slightly different texture but not in a bad way. It is a thin cake and will be eaten in no time at all. I made this last night and it is already gone. Make it for your family and don't tell them what the secret ingredient is. You'll smile as they eat it and rave about their newest favorite cake. Enjoy!
1 large can white beans, rinsed and drained
3 large eggs
1/2 unsweetened dark cocoa
3/4 to 1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 to 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped, or mini semi sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 8" springform pan.
In a food processor, mini processor (that's what I used) or blender, pulse or blend, beans and eggs until smooth. Put in bowl and whisk in cocoa, sugar, soda, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir in chocolate chips, as many as you wish.
Pour into a greased 8" in springform pan.
Cook in preheated oven for 15 minutes, turn and cook another 12-18 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
Raspberry Sauce
2 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen, I used frozen
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons granulated sugar, more if desired
1/2 to 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract, optional
While cake is cooling, heat water and sugar until sugar is dissolved to make a light syrup.
Add 2 cups raspberries to light syrup.
You can add more water and sugar to make more syrup.
Heat raspberries.
Spoon over whole cake or individual slices.
Keep refrigerated if sauce is over cake.

Dark Chocolate Upside Down Cake
An old recipe my Grandma and Mama would make. It's also known as Chocolate Cobbler. Very simple yet wonderful. It's just what your chocolate lovers are wanting! A thin cake with a thick chocolate sauce. You can easily double this to make a thicker cake. When ready to serve, cut a piece, flip it over with a spatula and see the amazement on faces gathered 'round.
Enjoy! Love and hugs!

Dark Chocolate Cake
As always in our house, nobody can agree on what kind dessert, or anything for that matter, they want. I did as I usually do and combine different ingredients of their requested food. It tends to make a happy dessert for everyone. I saw a recipe on the back of Hershey's Dark Cocoa..here is their recipe for Deep Dark Cake. I adapted this recipe from theirs. This cake is very moist and really does not need anything to top it. The icing is great though. We added it to cut pieces, each person topping their own. I did find that this cake wasn't as thick as I wanted it so I made another cake that is reduced fat. It turned out a little thicker. I'll be sharing that one very soon. I am making another one tonight cake tonight in an 8x8" pan and will let you know how it turns out. <3 and hugs!

Dark Chocolate Zucchini Banana Cake
My precious oldest son made 6 A's and 2 B's on his final report card for third grade!!!! I wanted to make his something special that was a healthier than my usual way of cooking. I asked and my gorgeous friend, Ann of Sumptuous Spoonfuls, shared her recipe for Decadent Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread I loved the recipe the moment I saw it. I love ALL of Ann's recipes for that matter!
A quick trip to the store for zucchini, braving Tropical Storm Debby's rain bands and a stop by the Dr., I was bitten and scratched by one of our kitties this morning, I was all set to cook. The bread...my boys call it cake, it's that good, has the rich taste a dark chocolate, a hint of banana, not too sweet (you can adjust sugar to your taste), and very moist! A hit! A little dense and oh so good!
Well, what are you waiting for? Go pick, or pick up, some zucchini! <3 and hugs!
2 squares unsweetened chocolate, 1 oz each, melted
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup nonfat yogurt
1 ripe banana mashed, approximately 1/2 cup
2 1/2 to 3 cups grated zucchini, I used one medium
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup unbleached whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup milled flax seed
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
cinnamon sugar to sprinkle on top
Preheat oven to 350F. Oil or spray 9" spring form or cake pan.
Melt chocolate according to directions. Cool.
Add cocoa, sugar, eggs and yogurt. Mix well.
Sift together all dry ingredients.
Add to wet ingredients and mix to incorporate.
Pour in pan and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Turn and cook another 10-25 minutes. Yeah, I know it's a wide range in time.
I kind of lost track. As always, my oven cooks different than yours. Please adjust time accordingly.
It's done when toothpick, skewer or thin knife comes out clean.
Cool on rack and wait as long as you can. Okay, go ahead and cut it now. You deserve it!
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and enjoy!

Mixed earnings hold back US stocks
The Standard & Poor's 500 index logged a small gain Tuesday on a mixed day for the stock market.
AP Markets Writers
The Standard & Poor's 500 index logged a small gain Tuesday on a mixed day for the stock market.
Health-care giant Johnson & Johnson slipped after it warned that pressure to keep prices low would likely mean slightly lower profits than forecast. Delta Air Lines gained after reporting a better-than-expected profit in the fourth quarter as fares and traffic rose.
Company earnings were the main focus for investors Tuesday as there were no major economic releases. So far, the stock market has failed to get a big lift from earnings reports and investors appear to be assessing the results more critically than they did a year ago.
"Earnings are coming in and, candidly, we're getting a mixture picture for the fourth quarter so far," said Jim Russell, an investment director at U.S. Bank.
The Standard & Poor's 500 rose 5.10 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,843.80. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 44.12 points, or 0.3 percent, to 16,414.44. The Nasdaq composite edged up 28.18 points, or 0.7 percent, to 4,225.76.
J&J, one of the 30 members of the Dow, slipped $1.03, or 1.1 percent, to $94.03, helping pull the index lower. Another Dow component, Verizon Communications, fell after reporting its own earnings.
Among the day's winners were Dow Chemical and Alcoa.
Dow Chemical rose $2.86, or 6.6 percent, to $45.93 after hedge fund Third Point LLC said Tuesday that it has acquired a significant stake in the company and wants it to spin off its petrochemicals division.
Alcoa surged 77 cents, or 6.8 percent, to $12.13 after analysts at JPMorgan raised their price target for the stock, predicting Alcoa will benefit from tightening aluminum markets.
After surging almost 30 percent last year, stocks are starting the year in a more subdued fashion. The S&P 500 is down 0.3 percent for the year.
In bond trading, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.83 percent from 2.82 percent on Friday. U.S. markets were closed Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.
Among other stocks making big moves:
-- Delta increased $1.01, or 3 percent, to $32.08 after reporting a better-than-expected profit in the fourth quarter as fares and traffic rose. The airline's president said demand was strong, and forecast that profit margins would increase in the current quarter.
-- Expedia dropped $3.02, or 4.2 percent, to $67.67 after a blog Search Engine Land reported Expedia online visibility fell dramatically, and cited actions taken by Google to punish companies that it believes are trying to game its search algorithms. Officials from Expedia did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press.

A California couple needs help selling their home so they can move out of the city.
Alan Fish and John Murray want a change of scenery, but they first have to sell their house. The Designed to Sell team brings in their expertise and $2,000 budget to help garner top dollar from the sale.
Real estate expert Shannon Freeman kicks off the assessment process, noting a wonderful landscaping job out front. She is disappointed in the interior, however, describing it as a thrift store because of all the clutter strewn about.
Designer Lisa LaPorta agrees with Freeman and lays out a plan to get the home into better selling shape. She wants to focus on the living room, dining room and the kitchen.
Step 1: Pack it up. Clear out the clutter to add valuable footage to the home.
Step 2: Break the mold. Modernize the home's decor to boost potential offers.
Step 3: Connect the dots. Make the rooms flow together so buyers will be tempted to tour.
Carpenters Steve Hanneman and Brooks Utley lend their expertise to the project. See the results of the team and homeowners' hard work below.
Before: The nicely sized living room was uninviting and lacked cohesion due to a bad furniture arrangement and scattered clutter. The fireplace (at right), typically a wonderful selling feature, was all but ignored.
After: Now it's a classy, open space. The updated layout, complete with new furniture and accessories, shows off the size and fireplace. Fresh paint, window treatments and lighting add perfect finishing touches.
Cost breakdown for this project:
furniture $1025
French door $262
lumber and hardware $208
lighting and accessories $215
paint and supplies $95
flooring $127
window treatments $68
Total: $2,000
Before: The oversize table and overly bright, outdated chairs had taken over the dining room, which could prevent buyers from even noticing that it exists.
After: Now it's a serene setting for a sophisticated soiree. The smaller, round table creates a better flow, while the fresh paint job, curtains, lighting and accessories add warmth.

Brakes Went Out
Brakes Went Out
What is weird is that the brakes were acting like lines cut or no fluid, no brake response, no fade just simply not there at all, she pushed the pedal down with ZERO resistance and nothing, then BAM. Crashed, minor front end damage but still runs.
Heres what i dont understand, after this she was able to drive it and the brakes were working fine, just as always, until the drive home at a stoplight it happened again, just nothing, ran right thru the light.
When she brought it home i checked it out but i wasnt able to repeat the problem, brakes work fine up and down the street, admitedly i havent drove it much to try and recreate the issue but still.
im no mechanic (electrician) but im pretty decent with a wrench but i cant figure this one out.
Master cyl appears good, pads & rotors are decent, fluid level is high with no leaks, im baffled.
Im wondering if this could be the power booster, or the master cyl being bad but im just not able to tell, i thought i would try and gather some input before i go replacing parts.
Any input on how i would check this would be greatly appreciated, or any past experience at all. Again what baffles me is how one minute they work fine, and then all of a suddun...nothing, no pedal resistance at all, and then bam right back to normal. in my experience when brakes go out there is some warning not weirdo symptoms like this.
Car is 1996, 4cyl 2.0, don't know if its abs or not.
i just wanted some input before i go and start replacing parts at random.
Thanks in advance, sorry for the long read.
Normally when a master cylinder goes out you can pump the brakes and they will come back. Drive slow until it goes down and pump the brake pedal if it comes back change the master cylinder.
Check if it has abs and reply back to the list. You can pull the fuse to check this.
I assume you mean the pedal goes all the way to the floor. If it just got very hard to push it could be something else.
Remember you have to bleed a new master cylinder.

If anyone can help out with this I'd be seriously grateful to all hell and back. I'm trying to get money to get two seriously infected teeth pulled as quickly as possible. The pain has been getting so bad that on my bad days I can't see out of my right eye from the tooth on that side, and if its the other side acting up then I can't even let *air* touch that tooth or I'm on the ground curled up in a ball crying.

When it became known that Japanese ace Masahiro Tanaka had made his decision, inking a 7-year, $155 million deal with the New York Yankees, there was a sizable groan from north of the border, but it seemed to be minimal considering another prize had slipped through Toronto's fingers. However, things got a little heated later in the day when John Lott found a source to throw a bit of fuel on the fire.
In an afternoon post for the National Post, Lott hears from a source that the Blue Jays pulled out of the Tanaka bidding when the contract length started to exceed the club's soft policy on long-term deals past five seasons. Further complicating matters, Toronto had no interest in extending Tanaka an opt-out clause after four seasons either. Understandably, the masses did not take kindly to the report.
Understand concept of the 5-year stance by the Blue Jays, but man, when do you ever expect to sign a big free agent?
— Mark Sheldon (@markdsheldon) January 22, 2014
"I have an idea, lets implement a rule that restricts us from signing any notable free agent" -Blue Jays
— Jamie Campbell (@JCamp_90) January 22, 2014
Once again, #bluejays lose out on major free agent after RHP commanded deal more then club policy 5 years: #Tanaka http://t.co/FFmYWXzFfy
— Nicholas McManus (@nicholasmcmanus) January 22, 2014
Blue Jays 5-yr policy is basically like dumping the person before they dump you. Save face to avoid "losing out" on a free agent.
— Dan Toman (@dantoman) January 22, 2014
However, while we can all sit here and grind our gears about the Blue Jays and their ridiculous stance of limiting free agent offers to five years or less, there is a bigger picture here. Years aside, the Blue Jays were never truly in this bidding. The Yankees, unburdened by Alex Rodriguez's contract for one season, were prepared to blow any team out of the water, and that is exactly what they did here.
At $22+ million a season, Masahiro Tanaka will be the most expensive question mark ever, having never thrown a pitch in Major League Baseball. Given the success rate of Japanese pitchers in the Major Leagues, that is a huge gamble to take, even for the Yankees, who have already had the albatrosses of Hideki Irabu and Kei Igawa hung around their necks from taking a similar path. Would the Blue Jays have been able to weather that type of mistake?
No, Toronto took a path, that while it appears ugly for now, was the right move to make for the team, both present and future. They will plug their rotation hole(s) with one of the available free agents in Ubaldo Jimenez, Ervin Santana, Matt Garza, or maybe even a Bronson Arroyo, and they will hang on the hope that last year was the anomaly, that their team will play to the potential they thought they had a year ago.
And in the corner of his office, Alex Anthopoulos will stare out the window, casting the evil-eyed mojo toward New York City, waiting to see if Tanaka can possibly live up to the expectations if his contract. Can he possibly live up to being paid on par with Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez, or even Zack Greinke?
Only time will tell, but those are awfully expensive seconds ticking away.
The Blue Jays should grab one of those pitchers by the start of spring. Be there by getting your Toronto Blue Jays spring training tickets here.

Saw this over the holidays, »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiocracy and as I'm a fan of Clarke, Heinlein, and of course Asimov, I'm afraid that the future may turn out to be more like idiocracy, and not like that proposed by any of those fine writers.
I tell ya, I'm just sooooooooooooooo damned happy I never had any kids of my own.
I'm not surprised at all. I took a travel course a couple of decades ago. One of the segments was geography. Identifying all provinces, states, capital and/or major cities (generically placing them close to where they were) was a requirement. ie. it's more important to know where NYC is than Albany. The same was done for the other continents, although less detail for some areas. Airport codes as well were required.Now, you have a group of people in the room who (you would think) are interested in travel since they want to work in the field. Most were clueless. Of course, for a long time I kept a couple of blank maps and coloured in where I'd visited. There's a couple of online versions of the same idea kicking around.
Feeling of Power, I remember that short story.I have not read Kornbluth...-- ~ Project Hope ~
There is something wrong when university students can not even identify North America or the Atlantic Ocean on a blank map....»www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundl···115.htmlBut not surprised as we as a society now spend more time & money on entertainment and escapism then on education and enlightment...
I know that it can make people lazy. I know some people who have been driving for 10+ years and still don't know the 4 major highways in Montreal that every single one of them takes at least twice a day...
I don't get it, I figured that, if anything, people should know these things better now because of computers and Internet as it takes 2 seconds to find a place on a map, and everyone is constantly exposed to people from across the world...
I resemble that remark....
There is something wrong when university students can not even identify North America or the Atlantic Ocean on a blank map....
The more I learn instills in me a desire to learn more as I realize how much I do not know...Knowledge is not a bad thing...Yes my mind is full of trivia...what was the first year for the Ford V-8, what was the last year for Studebaker, what team won the Stanley Cup in 1967 or 1978, what was the name of the Dallas police officer Lee Harvey Oswald shot, what is the capital of Saskatchewan, what is the capital of Nebraska....Knowing this stuff I do not perceive to be a liability. Does it assist me in doing my daily duties as a network system admin? NO...
You people sound like my math professor rambling on about how the Calculator was going to destroy math forever. That evil green vacuum florescent display of Math death just destroyed civilization.The check out lines would be frozen still while helpless people's batteries ran out and they couldn't properly verify their change due. The technology will just fail us in the end! An actual assimilation of an argument made by one of my professors, in one of his idiotic ramblings.Anyways just wanted to point out how similar some folk in this thread sound.
Yes well, I get lost in Eastern Passage sometimes LOL but I can navigate crowded cities in Europe.
Unfortunately that's what technology brings, makes people "stupid' as they don't need to think.I can't count the number of times I've watched people look at the cash register to see what change they need to provide, when I've already calculated the amount in my head.I will admit there are times in which I'm just plain lazy and will use a calculator instead of doing the math in my head.
When the teachers don't know anything and they have 100 Pro D days per year you can see how kids these days don't know as much as say 30 or more years ago.Wait another 20 years when the current generation of "internet" kids is ready to be the teachers. We're gonna have some issues.

Let's face it. GPS is doing to geography what calculators did to math skills and spelling and grammar checkers have done to the English language.Science fiction was right. We ARE becoming a world of morons.
i think the vast majority of teachers are quite knowledgeable...the issue is the kids...they feel they should get straight As just for showing up...the stories i hear from my friends are sad.
Considering we all learned the 7 continents and 5 oceans in grade 4 geography, I have to ask, "WTF are they teaching kids today in elementary schools?"Imaginary self esteem?Advanced sharing?Tournament Nintendo?Or are the schools leaving it all up to PBS and videogames to teach the kids nowadays? Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
The kids getting out of university are very stupid. Not only don't they know geography, their history, math and spelling is horrible. They can't tell time either. Yet, these are the people getting the good paying jobs. And you wonder why society is collapsing.Part of the problem is that schools prep kids for university rather that community college, so they're taught things like vertices in grade 2 rather than 5*8. I was talking to a young lady who got her MBA and plans on going back to college to learn something so she can get the jobs she wants. Otherwise, she'll end up with a .gov job or executive position where knowing things isn't important...just a good GPA in the study of BS.--If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein
My kid is 9 and his homeworks are complicated, more than they were when I was in 4th grade in the 1980's. Sometimes as an adult I cannot understand some of his excersizes, but one thing is true, geography is not taught at all because I'm sure he wouldn't be able to find Canada on a blank map.
geography is not taught at all because I'm sure he wouldn't be able to find Canada on a blank map.
maybe so, but they don't fail kids any more, they just push them through...so they could say the capitol of India is Ottawa and as long as they don't skip school, they pass.
Yup, it's all about making little Johnny feel good about himself nowadays. Why tell him that acting like an asshole is going to make him a failure in life?--Tom
well, it's also why i didn't buy the government's claim of "We have higher graduation rates (among the best), blah, blah, blah"...of course our graduation rates are high, everyone passes now (as long as you show up).
I'm finding even higher education seems to be like that now. The course I'm taking in college should have failed some people based on their lack of respect for their classmates and professors in class (they spoke amongst themselves, louder than the profs constantly). The college still gave them passing grades last semester. The profs are all threatening to fail them this semester though. We'll see how that works out.--Tom
having some friends in the education field, i am not surprised hearing that...my one friend, who is a research prof, believes Universities today are more of a business than an actual place of learning...his said the biggest scam going is where Universities now offer a (i can't recall the name it was given) selection of "general courses" to allow students to attend University, without actually taking anything related to a field...sort of a "Introductory to University" that has very generic class, which are likely ineligible for anything you would eventually get into afterwards...think of a University version of "Grade 12"...just a generic vague course selection to collect $5000-$9000 in tuition fees.--People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.- George Orwell
Warning, wall of text inc.Reminds me of a class I took in 20xx in finance at Ottawa U, nights 7:30-10:30 (info withheld to avoid any issues). I forget the name of the class but it's where students were introduced to FIFO and LIFO (in french mind you, PEPS, DEPS).Anyways, I only went to 3 classes out of the semester because the learning environment in class was very destructive. 1st class, mid term and class project presentation. I don't count the final exam as a class.Right off the bat in the first class the teacher could not control the class, everyone was talking over each other, the slides in the presentation were in English (french class), we were not given a break at all during the 3hrs and so on. I opted to skip the classes and simply read the slides/class materials on my own time since the class had no actual homework to hand in, only mid-term, final and class project.I showed up to the mid-term, teacher threatened to flunk me cause he didn't know who I was, let me do the mid-term anyways stating I would not be getting a good grade. Blow through the mid-term and leave well before anyone else, including my very good friend who whoops me in any subject.Next class, according to my friend, the teacher corrected the mid-term and was very angry that over 30% of the class got below the 45% passing mark, and that 80% of the class had under 60%. Only 2 people got above 80%, myself at 96.4% and my friend at 95.2%. During the correction of the exam the teacher apparently did not let anyone take notes on the correct answers, nor did he let them keep a copy of there exams. Apparently I was blamed for his inability to grade curve anyone.Cue final exam time, I arrive in the gymnasium and the teacher specifically arranged the names so I would sit in the desk directly in front of his. I finish the exam extremely early (45minutes for a 3hrs exam) and the teacher told me when I handed my copy in that he would ensure that I failed the class.I passed with an A- (he dinged me hard on the class project) and to my knowledge no one in the class failed, despite them stating that the final was impossible and having failed the mid-term... They must all have gotten A+s on the groups projects... Anyways I was accused of cheating because the teacher had never seen a student capable of learning his material without actually being present in the class. Turns out I was not cheating and a comity formally apologized to me and stuff.And no I did not do this for every class, only 1 other class was I able to perform this glorious task. I almost failed 3 classes in total, but I mean come on... those HR classes are total BS.TL;DRTeacher could not believe it was not butter!Also sorry if I wasted 5 minutes of your time, and English spelling.
That's more or less why I had so much trouble in college. And at the very end, I was showing up only to hand in assignments and do tests. Teachers were having trouble allowing me to even write the exams because they had no idea who I was.I've now gone back to university part time though. The online courses (distance education program as my school calls it) are just awesome.I have no one bothering me, wasting time with stupid questions because they're unable to pay attention or do the required work. I just need to make sure to email my assignments on time and show up for the exam in class. The rest is all up to me in my own house.I'm actually finding myself enjoying going back to school with this program, even if the extra work can take it's toll on my free time.
It's funny. I went back to college and I have had to complain to the profs about how rude people are in the class since they speak over the profs while screwing around all the time. The one prof said to me that I should be happy knowing that those people are going to fail. I told him that I was happy with that, but that I'm still not happy that MY ability to learn is suffering because of them.I don't care if they've paid tuition. If they aren't there to learn, they should be kicked out.--Tom

More Women Needed in Politics – Charles chats with former Winnipeg Mayor Susan Thompson
Is Justin Trudeau lost? Trudeau opposes revoking Canadian passports of would-be terrorists
Trudeau opposes revoking Canadian passports of would-be terrorists. – Canoe.com
Is Justin Trudeau lost?
He appears to be completely out of sync with the overwhelming Majority of Canadians. Nearly 9 out of 10 don't want Canadians with dual citizenships to maintain their Canadian Citizenship if they wish to leave Canada to join up with organizations like ISIS. This is not complicated There is no civilized country on earth where the citizens wish to do anything to help those who want to spread international terror while maintaining citizenship of a country they wish to defeat.
If you hold dual citizenship in this country and you want to murder our citizens or those of our allies, you have lost any moral right to be a Canadian and NO prime minister I could possibly support would feel differently about this. There is NO room for argument here. Justin Trudeau either doesn't understand what he is saying or he doesn't understand the country. He tosses out this line about the criminal code being sufficient to protect us in these extreme cases of how to deal with traitors. And once again he either doesn't understand the criminal code or he just doesn't understand Canada.
I know he's thought of as the cool kid. But there is NOTHING cool about stupidity when it comes to securing the safety of our people. There is nothing cool about giving comfort to those who want to engage in genocidal behavior while maintaining their Canadian citizenship. I don't pretend to be the Lord of Cool. But My Sweet Lord, this young man needs the keys to your wisdom. Not the keys to 24 Sussex Drive.
Rob Ford is a Human Being. "This mayor is a person and the over-the-top piling on is in many ways just as bad as any of his personal failings in his time as mayor." Charles talks to the Toronto Sun's Joe Warmington. Click to listen.
Let's get real – when Brian Mulroney strokes the United Nations, it makes me want to retch
When Brian Mulroney strokes the UN it makes me want to retch. The UN is a club of dictators. He calls it the Big Leagues. It's a big league of entitled despots. Many of them have natural resources that multinationals naturally want. They have terrible environmental and labour standards the kind Mulroney would never publicly support for this country. Stephen Harper is correct not to suck up to this crowd.
Like any free person, I am sometimes critical of our PM. I'm not crazy about how he has been dealing with veterans or the distractions created around the Supreme Court. Picking fights with the wrong people undermines what matters most, creating the best possible conditions for economic and social progress. But on issues like standing against Hamas and ISIS and Putin and not kissing up to the UN, I give a huge thumbs up to Stephen Harper.
As you well know Brian Mulroney will always blame Preston for the demise of his conservative party. He is likely angrier with Preston than he is with Lucien Bouchard. The conservative party base was the West and Preston Manning and Reform challenged the Conservative Party to become a less centralized, and more democratic party. Reform also challenged the power brokers in Central Canada to decentralize the federation. Triple E was part of that. The federation through increased provincial powers has indeed been decentralized. No matter what happens in Ottawa, Alberta is not as vulnerable to Federal power as it once was. And because Alberta is where jobs are being created every hour, unlike Mulroney's neck of the woods, it's not very likely that anybody will try to stiff arm the west the way Trudeau did with the National Energy Policy and the way Mulroney did when he mugged Manitoba in the decision to award the CF-18 to a Montreal company instead of the better bid in Winnipeg.
Memories die hard. And so much of the motivation for the criticism that Harper is getting is about Mulroney never forgiving Harper's mentor Preston for declaring that the Emperor had no clothes. It was brazen and ballsy and necessary. I hope that some day there will be another Westerner who has the courage to publicly see what he sees.
Political Correctness is the naked emperor of our times. I dream of a day where a Westerner brings it to its knees and allows all of us to stand tall for a strong Canada where our number one sensitivity is not to our hyphens, but to our values. I value honesty, hard work, and personal responsibility. I do not value spin, laziness, and excuses.

We're heading into the dog days of the offseason, counting the days until the Chicago Bears 2014 season kicks off. Thanks to Bear Goggles On contributor and the fine editor of Blackhawk Up Keith Schultz's suggestion, we're going to do a Top 100 list of the all time Chicago Bears. It's a fun way to pass the time and take a stroll down memory lane.
The Bears selected Dennis Gentry in the 4th round of 1982 draft. He made an immediate impact taking over punt return duties from defensive back Jeff Fisher (now HC of the Rams) and by the end of his rookie season was returning kicks as well. Gentry actually lost both jobs his 2nd year to undrafted rookie Dennis McKinnon (punt returns) and 1st round pick Willie Gault (kick returns) and didn't reclaim the kick returner job until 1985, his 4th year with the Bears. In 1985 things seems to click for Gentry as a kick returner and he averaged 25.9 yards per return (4th in the NFL) and had his first TD return. In 1986 Gentry was even better, leading the NFL with a 28.8 average and running another one back for a TD. The combination of Gentry and Gault returning kicks was the best in the NFL from 84-86 in both yards per return and TDs.
In 1985 the Bears started using Gentry on offense as a change-of-pace running back. In the Bears Super Bowl '85 season, Gentry had 30 carries for 160 yards (4.8 ypc) and 2 TDs. Over the next few seasons Gentry was used on draw plays, reverses, and screen passes to get him the ball in space so he could use his speed to make plays. Later in the decade (88-90) the Bears stopped using Gentry as a running back and transitioned him to a slot receiver role. Over the course of three years, Gentry averaged 32 receptions, 423 yards, and 2 TDs per season all while still excelling as the Bears primary kick returner. He was a multi-purpose weapon who seemed to make things happen whenever he got the ball.
In the early 90s it looked like Gentry lost a step or two as his kick return numbers declined and he was barely used in the offensive scheme. Gentry still returned kicks, but both Johnny Bailey and Darren Lewis had more success and Gentry was slowly phased out. He retired after the 1992 season after 11 years with the Bears. Gentry holds the record for the most kick returns (192) and 3rd most kick return yards (4,353) in Bears history.
What do you think of the ranking? Too high? Too low? I guess you'll have to check back to see who finished ahead of him to judge for yourself. We'll be counting down a different person each day as we inch our way to the September 7th season opener.
