Khak Shir

- Derek Mancini-Lander Aug 30, 1999 01:12 PM
Does anyone know what khak shir is and how it is used? I know it's a spice used in Persian cooking, but that's all.
Does anyone know?
I bought some and it's been sitting with all my other spices, feeling kind of left out for months.
This is just a guess, but--
shir means "milk" and "kashk" means whey, so maybe it's some sort of whey powder, like you'd use to make Cheetos. More probably, it's some kind of pudding powder, since the Persians enjoy many kinds of milk pudding. Try scalding a couple of cups of milk (don't boil it) and add a little bit of the powder at a time. If it doesn't work, don't send me the bill!
re: Robert Sietsema
Hey Derek,
Khak shir is not a spice. Its equivalent english name is a bit of a mistery but it seems to be Mugwort seeds (Artemisia vulgaris). It has various uses that I know of. It can be made into a sweet drink that will quench your thirst on a hot summer day or a warm drink (that ur mom gives you when you wake up in the morning on a hot summer day).
All joking aside, it is very effective in helping your gallbladder/liver cleanse, (im not sure about the exact scientific details behind this), I've also heard it helps with acne which i guess could be a byproduct of having a not-so-healthy liver. It's one of those funny medicines which helps with both constipation and diahrea and also vomiting but doesn't taste bad, in fact it doesn't taste at all if u wash it well enough.
Method 1:
Basically you have to wash it off with water a few times (or a lot) to make sure its clean. then you can add a cool lemonade to it OR add sugar and cold water (optional: add rosewater and ice), stir it so the seeds are floating and drink it up. As kids we used to drink it with a straw cause it's easier to get the seeds.
Method 2:
Method2 is supposedly more effective for the gallbladder cleanse. you gotta drink it first thing in the morning and wait for it to settle for about 10-15 mins before you eat/drink anything else. So you boil water. As the water is boiling, wash off the seeds a few times to make sure they're clean. Add the seeds to a mug and pour the water in there (optional: a sugar crystal, that's what my mom used but i use normal sugar cause i don't know where to get that stuff). anyways, you wait for it to cool down to room temperature, stir it and drink up :).
Interesting fact which I just realized:
In the old days they used to say Khak shir helps get "the heat" out of your body. funny enough what they called "the heat" was produced by eating food like choclate, etc. which are fatty foods. These foods require lots of bile in order to emulsify, etc etc. long story short to actually be used in the body; which requires the liver and gallbladder to work. I guess those old folks did know something afterall. LOL.
Don't know the spice, but khak is 'earth, dust' (often used in combination, e.g. khak-e chini 'kaolin' and khak-e zoghal 'charcoal dust') and shir is 'milk' (also 'lion,' but I don't think they have lion dust even in Iran), so khak-e shir would be 'milk dust' -- i.e. some form of powdered milk (though I thought 'powdered milk' was shir-e khoshk, literally 'dry milk'). Any Iranians out there to help with this?
re: steve d.
This sounds a bit like kishik, which is
Lebanese/Levantine. I wonder if there is a link
because of the historic connections between Lebanon and
Kishik is made from a mixture of wheat, salt, milk and
yoghurt, which is left to ferment a bit and then dried
in the sun and ground. I have never cooked with it ,
but I think that it is sold at Kalustyans and on
Atlantic Ave. It looks a bit like grated Romano
cheese, and would fit the translation milk dust
or powder.
MAry Laird Hamady gives several recipes using it in her
wonderful book Lebanese Mountain Cookery. It iis used
in dumpling and croquette stuffings, to thicken
porridges, and in salads. She suggests trying it like
a tarter version of grated cheese in salads, and gives
an easy recipe for sliced endive and onion, dressed
with olive oil, lemon, and quite a bit of kishik.
re: Alan Divack
I don't think this has anything to do with kishik/keshk (though I have an interesting article on the history and nature of the latter -- e-mail me if you want details). "Khak" is a perfectly good Farsi word that makes perfect sense in context.
re: Alan Divack
There is a long and detailed article on the history of kishk (kashk, kishik) in the book I have described in Not About Food (see link below); the author says "Confusion is created by the facts that the term kashk/kishik is present in different language families and cultural areas, dispersed over a large geographical area; and that the substances designated are extremely variable... it is a preserved food all over the Middle East, but Persian kashk is quite different from the Arab kishik; among the Armenians of Turkey and generally in Anatolia it is a dish like herissa (pounded meat and cereal); in Egypt it is a sweetmeat." She concludes that "Persian kashk originally designated ... a barley gruel... From that gruel, after adding leaven, two products are obtained which can be preserved: first, with the addition of a little water, bread...; secondly, with the addition of much more water, a fermented gruel, which can then be dried.... If fermented milk is used instead of leaven... We may suppose that Iranian-speaking pastoralists, for whom dried sour milk is a staple, and who have no easy access to barley, applied the word kashk by analogy to the dry sour milk. Then the word passed to the rest of the Middle East, and among the agriculturalists kishk came to designate complex preserved foods made from cereal and a ferment, whether leaven or sour milk.... It is sometimes a good cultural marker, as in Lebanon, where the Circassians neither name it nor use it, nor do Armenians from Armenia, while Armenians from Turkey do." Fascinating stuff.
re: steve d.
Seeds of an Iranian Flower. Boil & Allow to Cool, Add Suger and/or Ice Cubes If Desired. Produced and Packed in Iran. This particular seed usually redish brown is used in Iran during hot summer months. It is some sort of a thirst quencher. It can also be used when thirsty or having a temperature or fever. That's basically it :-)
According to an Iranian friend and excellent cook, Khak
Shir translates to earth-milk and is used to make a
medicinal drink used for ritualistic purposes such as
shaking off the evil eye. He doubts it tastes good.
Khak shir does mean dirt milk in Iranian or Farsi. But it is not milk. It is a seed. It is mixed with a bit of sugar and water or sprinkled in juice to give the desired digestive effect: either to correct constipation or diarreha. I use it for my daughter who is prone to constipation. It can be used on infants, even, with proper dosage. It can be purchased with the brand name Sadaf on it from any online or Middle East market.
Good guesses but they are all wrong. Khak Shir which is packaged by Sadaf International Gourmet Foods is carried in the spice section. It is actually a grain called TEFF, originally from Ethiopia and Northern India. TEFF is the smallest grain in the world. Take a close look at your spice bag. Five grains of Teff or Khak Shir can fit on the head of a pin...here are some links that will tell you about it and how to use it. cheers! the Cyber Chiq
well, i can share my experience with it without saying that it is the only use for it.... You have to wash the seeds very well as it has lots of dust. once washed, you can leave it with the water and add some lemon and sugar to it, bottle it in th fridge and drink it in hot summer days. it has a certain smell that you can hide with lemon juice. it cools down the body and cleans your liver. My grand mother used to give it to me when i was a kid and when I used to have too much sweets or hot tempered food.
It's mainly medicinal and not sure if used in meals and cooking as it doesn't have a taste.
couple of days ago my son got a rash reaction from food (yet to find out what) and his body was full with red blisters, I took him to the hospital and all we were told was to take benadryl. I didnt accept the none sense and asked my mother to prepare me some khak shir. after glasses the body cleared out.
hope this helps.
Khak-e-shir is not kashk, it's a small round, brown flower seed. I'm not sure of its medicinal purposes, but in most places in Iran, its used to make a delicious drink. Add some to ice cold sugar water mixed with rose water. You're supposed to stir it up before you drink it. The small seeds spinning in the water give it the appearance of dirt which may explain the name. Believe me, the drink is infinitely more appetizing than the description. I had some in Mashhad this summer where they sell it on nearly every corner. Awesome stuff.
Hope this helps.
I'm Iranian (Persian). It translates to earth-milk! It's not a spice. It's pretty much flavorless and it is used for medicinal purposes for digestive health! You mix it with lemon, water, and sugar! Enjoy! :-)
Hi Derek
Please follow the link, it's all about what we call "Khak Shir" in Farsi.

The Networker's Dilemma is a problem that I see plaguing lots of different industries, but it is particularly problematic for startups. The thesis is this: overly networked individuals suffer from a lack of honest feedback, which can distract and destroy new initiatives.
It may seem controversial to suggest that people should network less early on, because so much startup advice is about launching early, getting feedback, and meeting people, but I really do believe that there are substantial downsides to being too connected and too networked.
Problem 1: Honest feedback is even more rare than usual
All that you should want when you are starting out is honest feedback. The best case scenario when you're starting is that you pitch someone your idea and they actually tell you what they think. As anyone who has ever been pitched an idea will tell you, when an idea is bad, it's really, really tough to give honest feedback. You don't want to dishearten somebody who is passionate about what they are doing, and it's just not fun to make people feel bad.
The incentive to give honest feedback and risk upsetting an overly networked individual is just not there. It's so much easier 'forget' to tell a networker your true feelings about their product so you can stay on their good side. Then when you need a favor later, you haven't burned any bridges! Gimme those sweet, sweet connections.
When honest feedback becomes even more rare than it traditionally is, it becomes impossible to iterate on your message, product, or anything else.
Problem 2: People will use your product for the wrong reasons
Getting any users is tough. Getting a lot of users is tougher. Getting tons of repeat users is one of the hardest things you can possibly do. You need the stars to align or you need to sell people money at a discount (Groupon) to ramp up your users with a bad product. But, it's possible to get users because people assume that you're good at product, just because you're so well connected.
How many products have you tried because the person behind the product seems well connected? Have you ever tried a product that came out of Y Combinator even though you were actually pretty confused by the product's purpose? Have you ever seen lots of other people using something and thought to yourself, "Hmm… what am I missing here? This product doesn't make sense. But I should use it so that I'm not left behind." These are some of the signs that you may be paying attention to a product for the wrong reasons.
I'm not going to sling mud about specific examples, but I'm sure you can think of some startups run by networkers that never progressed because their fame brought them their users.
Problem 3: People will join your team because of your connections, not because of your ideas, execution, product, or traction
This one is truly terrifying. Building an early team is really hard, and it should take tons of convincing to get people to work under-market or without salaries because they buy into a company vision. Convincing an early team of all-stars to join you is so hard that many investors will buy into a great team without a great business. And actually, this problem is probably the one that can go either way for you on this list. Build a truly amazing team with your overly-connected network and you may still have a shot of building a great company.
But build a great team for the wrong reasons and you'll soon have a group of people who are dissatisfied and disheartened with the lack of vision and lack of real growth once your networker bump disappears.
Being able to convince a real human, who doesn't know you solely as a networker, that they should quit what they are doing and join you is a great sign that you may actually be onto something.
Problem 4: It can make it too easy to raise money
Raising money from investors should be hard. Challenging money is a good sign that the market is well-aligned with the risks of startup investing. If it's hard to raise money, and you raise money, then you're probably onto something! Congrats, you've been able to convince others that you are in a big enough market, studying an interesting enough problem, with the potential to create a compelling solution.
The problem, of course, is that if you've networked yourself too much then you are going to have a slew of people that will recommend you, just because they know you and think of you as a great person, but that doesn't mean that your idea is any good. I see people recommending great, well-networked people all the time who are working on terrible ideas.
If you make it too easy for yourself to raise money with the wrong business, you'll soon be searching for a real problem or real solution to work on, while investors start to ponder who they should bring in to replace you.
What's the right way to think about networking?
Networking is great and no one can build a business alone, but don't fall into the trap of spending all your time networking. Like most things in life, what you want is to find a healthy balance.
Have fun, take your time, and focus on fostering real relationships that can help you over the long term.
This post hasn't been full of super actionable advice, so here's a tidbit for you: Hole up in your dungeon and spend your time building something that is fucking great. Then, when you do feel the urge to get out there, networking will be an accelerant instead of a deterrent.
One critical lesson that we've learned the hard way, is that we shouldn't hide who we are. Today we try to be open and honest about the size of the company and our goals, but things haven't always been this way.
A strong start
When Brendan and I first started Wistia, it was pretty darn clear how big the company was. This was easy because there were two of us, we had no website, and we were 22 and 23 (Brendan was the old man). We didn't think to hide who we were or what we were doing. When we went to startup events, it was two dudes working on a problem. When we first met Ben and Adam, it was just Brendan and I working out of Brendan's bedroom.
Did our first investors know that it was just the two of us? Yup. Did they come to meetings in our house and sit on a couch at the foot of Brendan's bed? Yup. Did our first customers know that Brendan slept six feet from we built Wistia? Yup. Okay, cool.
Being over-excited about becoming a "real business"
Shortly thereafter, a very unfortunate thing happened to us: We closed our first round of funding, got an office, and set out to build a "real business."
Can you guess what happened next? It was time to start having real business meetings. We got fancy titles. We even bought a conference phone for our CONFERENCE ROOM.
Just look at that shitty conference phone. Does it look like we're running a "real business" yet?
Brendan and I started commuting 25 minutes to our brand new office in Lexington, MA. It was a stupid commute. But we did have our own parking lot! It was boss. There were many times that we would actually have to dig ourselves out after a night's snowfall so that we could race to beat Adam and Ben to the office, just to show them how serious we were about building a "real business."
It should come as no surprise that we stopped referring to the company as a small business being run out of Brendan's bedroom. Here is our team page from that time:
What do you think when you look at this team page? Do you think that Wistia looks like a huge, successful "real business?" There are probably a slew of other employees not important enough to make it onto this page, right? Wrong.
Get it right
It took us too long to figure out that people could see right through this. What does our old management team page look like? It looks like a very small team pretending to be a big company. It's easy to trick yourself into thinking that if people think you're a big company, they'll treat you with more respect.
The reality: everyone wants to do business with people they trust. Customers want to know what they are buying. Partners want to know who they are dealing with. Investors want to believe in the team and opportunity. But if we are being deceptive with our team page, what else could we be being deceptive with?
Raising money made us think that in order to be successful, we needed to be a "real business" when in reality we needed to be true to ourselves. It's funny to realize that everyone sees through your ruse. It's even funnier to realize that when you present the honest truth, that we were four dudes working together on a problem we cared about, that people would actually respect our small beginnings.
The first time we were transparent about our size, I was nervous. This is what our team page looked like at that time.
The current rendition of our team page looks like this:
Type d-a-n-c-e on the team page you'll learn even more about us. Like that we can't dance.
The more you put forward who you really are, the better people will understand you and the more they will want to get to know you. They will be more likely to invest in your growth, and even cut you some slack when you fall short.
So when you're talking to the press, launching your website, editing your Twitter profile, or chatting someone up at a party, cut the shit and be your real self. You will be surprised how much better your crazy idea will be received.
We've been putting together a video series at Wistia called How They Work. In it, we go around and interview inspiring businesses about their company culture. Each How They Work is about three minutes long. They are designed to capture just a few of those sweet, sweet nuggets of culture that are drivers of success.
Clover Food Lab is the most recent company to be featured on How They Work. In the last year Clover has expanded from one food truck and 10 employees to five trucks, two restaurants, and about 140 employees.
My favorite thing about Clover other than their delicious chickpea fritter is that they have completely blurred the line between the food and tech industries. They've built internal software that runs on iPods to scale up and down with demand. They test and measure everything they do. They even change up what they're selling on a daily basis by only having digital menus and whiteboards. If they were a software company their story would be incredibly impressive, but for a food business it's completely mind boggling.
Watch the How They Work for the full story.
Being an entrepreneur is all about fear: fear of failing, fear of missing out, fear of making the wrong decision, and even fear of success. The difference between succeeding and failing is how you choose to confront your fears.
The day you quit your job is going to be scary. The day you make your first cold call is going to be scary. The day you pick a price is going to be scary. The day you have to fire someone is going to be scary.
The secret is: It's okay to be scared. You just have to be more scared of missing an opportunity than you are of actually failing at it. How do you think Obama felt before giving this speech in 2004? I'm sure he was terrified but how could he have passed up the opportunity to speak to the entire nation?
You have to embrace the fear. You have to try. And eventually, just trying matters. And suddenly you're not afraid anymore.
It's really hard to build a brand. It's hard to get the attention of others, it's hard to get people onto your website, and it's hard to create something that people will buy and use. We realized early on that the best visitors we get hear about us through word of mouth. Word of mouth is driven by happy people who have a great brand experience.
This is how we've focused on building a great brand experience:
Brand is everything. It's every interaction with someone outside of your business. It's your company culture. It's your production process and the way you deal with a bug.
The secret to brand building is to start early and often. Your brand is not your logo or color scheme, it's how people think about you. It's the way that you represent yourself.
People frequently ask us why team members at Wistia have formal titles even though we're such a small company. This is a great question and something that I've asked myself. Let's see how we decided to go with the titles we use now.
Over time, through trial and error, I've discovered the secret to a team getting tons of work done: give people autonomy, ownership, and the power to make change.
Autonomy - freedom from external control or influence; independence
Are you more excited to do what you want to do or what you're told to do? What kind of problem do you find more motivating? Giving people autonomy to find the problems that they think deserve to be solved and to solve these problems their own way is incredibly motivating.
We want everyone who is at and will be at Wistia to have the freedom to solve problems the way they see fit. One reason we opted to "round up" on titles instead of "rounding down" is so that everyone understands that each team member has this autonomy.
Ownership - the state or fact of being an owner
The biggest challenge of running a startup is deciding what to do next. What should we do tonight, tomorrow, next week, or next year? We've handled a part of this decision making process by making sure that one person has ownership over each critical part of the business.
When we make decisions about which feature, partnership, or marketing strategy to pursue next, we always have someone fighting from the perspective of each aspect of the business. This helps us keep all the parts of the company balanced and make smarter decisions. Using this approach, people end up fighting pretty hard for what they believe in.
Power to make change - the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events
Our approach would not work if we had a crew of people generating ideas and one person enacting them. We need everybody to have the power to make change. This can mean having the authority to push "send" on a newsletter, sign a partnership, or commit code. (Side note: Jeff, our Director of Customer Happiness, decided it would be a good idea to commit his code in his first week on the job helping people with support. He wanted to fix a recurring support issue by improving the product instead of creating a canned email.)
Where does this leave us?
We have a team of people fighting to get things done, make the right decisions, and having fun. If that means that our titles are a little more formal than you would find elsewhere, that's fine with me.

Missouri voters overwhelmingly rejected a key tenet of ObamaCare, as 71% supported a ballot proposition yesterday to prohibit penalizing people who fail to procure health insurance. The measure carried all but two of the state's 115 counties. It even managed to win 42% of the vote in the black-majority city of St. Louis.
"The Show-Me State just picked up a megaphone and sent a message like you wouldn't believe to Washington, D.C., to stay out of our health care decisions," says State Senator Jane Cunningham, who sponsored the bill creating the ballot measure.
Senior Editorial Writer Joseph Rago reports on the Missouri results.
Liberals will try to ignore the passage of Proposition C, hoping the mainstream media glides over it. But at last month's Netroots Nation meeting of liberal activists in Las Vegas, many privately admitted a defeat would be a body blow. Melinda Gibson, an organizer with the union-backed group Health Care of America NOW, warned especially about the tide turning during the August Congressional recess. "We have to make sure we don't lose August," Ms. Gibson emphasized. "August is crucial. People who experienced August last year will remember that we lost the media narrative for a long time, things were blown up on the ground, our organizers were in a defensive posture, and so it's very important that we go on the offensive."
That may be difficult. Ballot questions similar to the one in Missouri will face voters in Oklahoma, Arizona and Florida this November. For now, liberals are consoling themselves that the new Missouri law is likely to be overridden by the courts as being in conflict with federal law.

Some ol' DOGS of Mars sketches by Paul Maybury.
DOGS of Mars is about Nocturnal monsters stalk astronauts marooned on Mars. Zoe is the swashbuckling captain of Earth's first off-world colony. Isolated on the farthest frontier of civilization, order breaks down when the unfamiliar hostile invades. Zoe faces mutiny, death and dishonor; she must sacrifice her humanity if she hopes to survive.
Read it on Comixology or buy your own copy on Amazon.
Had a blast at Comicpalooza this year. Here's some of the commissions and sketches I remembered to take pictures of.
I went and enjoyed being talked at by Howard Chaykin. I even nabbed some original art off him. The highlight was meeting Joe Kubert. He was incredibly gracious and took the time to really look at my work and talk to me. Coincidentally someone took a photo of us, so here it is.
Oh, and I had the pleasure of sitting next to Sam De La Rosa and his family. He helped me out with the Venom logo and probably got me that commission with all his cool Venom swag at his table.
Lastly, I have some big news that's being announced in the following months. On top of that I moved back to Austin, and I turned 30 today.
Touring the cons with Paul Maybury. If you see him in the streets he'll draw a werewolf on your copy of DOGS of Mars. Be sure to bother him at bars and restaurants…. and in the bathroom. Or at the doctor's office.

"Puma concolor" is the scientific name for the type of cougar you're most likely to encounter in the wilds of the Americas. They're a majestic feline, but if you're reading this review, chances are you're looking for a different type of pussy. Well you're in luck, because Black Cougars hooks you up with wild ebony chicks who are on the prowl for tasty younger meat.
As with pretty much every cougar site, all the material is focused on older women who get younger studs to fuck their brains out. There are plenty of blowjobs to enjoy and the site also has lots of hardcore sex, titty fucking and cumshots to offer. Worth noting is that it's all black-on-black action.
The 41 videos come in an assortment of downloadable files and they can also be streamed in Flash. I recommend opting for the MPEGs, as they offer great-quality playback. Everything else still looks good, but obviously great is even better. The vids can also be streamed and downloaded in a series of parts in good-quality Flash and MP4 files.
The 40 photo sets are just as impressive, as each one comes filled with high-res pics. In light of this, it's too bad that there isn't the option to save them in Zip folders. For the most part, they show the models from the movies stripping and posing, but you'll also see about 20 or so hardcore shots.
Seeing as how there hasn't been an update since November 2013, it's nice that your membership enables you to access the entire Filth Freaks network of over 60 sites, with everything from creampies to teens. There are also a bunch of ebony-themed sites, like Ghetto Hoochies and Brazil Bang. There's a drop-down menu that you can use to reach the different sites.
In the end, the quality on Black Cougars is great, the action is hot, navigation is a breeze and there are a lot of extras, but there isn't enough content to keep you happy for very long. Still, if you want to see older black women having some awesome sex, you might want to give the website a look.

There was time where I felt so empty inside. Then I found SS501, and that gap was filled with happiness. If I became a Triple S earlier, I might not have had that emptiness.

text: Under Barack Obama, income inequality for all in America has gotten much worse in the United States. This news comes as Obama tries to pivot back to the economy, seeing as how he totally failed in foreign policy the last few weeks. But Obama has been failing with the economy since taking office. While the White House tries to spin good news about an economic recovery, the only folks benefiting are the wealthy. About 95% of all gains in income went to the top 1%. Also, the top 1% now account for 38% of all consumer spending. From when Bill Clinton took office to when George W. Bush left the White House, the top 1% went from 20% to 26% of all consumer spending. While school children are denied access to White House tours, lobbyists have free run of the place as they petition Obama for more money to feed their wealthy clients.

"Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn't have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn't have to be a walk during which you'll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don't find meaning but "steal" some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn't make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be."

"I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet."

Would-be bank robber had gun and mask, but what he needed was a watch
MANCHESTER - Police said a masked man tried to rob Citizens Bank on Brown Avenue early Friday morning but failed because the bank had yet to open.
Sgt. Craig Rousseau said the robber entered the vestibule of the bank, located at 2035 Brown Ave., a few minutes before 9 a.m. and found the interior doors locked because the bank , which opens at 9 o'clock, had yet to open.
The robber, who had a red ski mask covering his face, banged on the doors with a black semi-automatic handgun, yelling for employees to open them.
When he figured out they were not going to let him in, he ran out and towards the back of the bank, Rousseau said.
Police are looking for a white man, about 5-foot-9, 190 to 200 pounds. He was wearing the mask, a dark jacket and yellow gloves. He also had a backpack with a white stripe on it.
Anyone with information about the attempted robbery is asked to call police at 668-8711 or, to remain anonymous, Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040.

Yes, I know this year I didn't really produce anything, and so I am not nominated on Ticalc.org . Still POTY is a great thing and the voting has just started. So head over to Ticalc.org and start voting! Don't forget to check back sometimes, since new polls for the other calculator sections will start. ;)
May the best programs win!
I am honored to have been interviewed. :)
The administrator of TI-84-Plus.com, a website with all the things you'll ever have to know for your TI-84 Plus contacted me yesterday, which was quite a surprise for me.
Today the article was published on their blog. You can read it here.
Be sure to check the rest of the site out too. It's full with very useful things!
Visit the website
Visit Ti-84 Plus on Twitter
Tuesday morning my package arrived with inside the beautiful TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition.
It's the first colour calculator in my collection. Although I have quite some other Z80 calculators it's also pretty new to me since I mostly use my TI-89 as main calculator.
Anyway, this calculator has some cool new features such as a rechargeable battery that can be charged with an usb cable. When it charges a light on the side of the calculator gets turned on; orange/red for charging and green for full.
This awesome colour screen will be great for working in the dark. Not saying I usually do that kind of stuff, but I'm pretty sure there were already moments I could use a backlit screen.
Along with it came 2 stickers as you can see in the pictures. I haven't decided where to stick them yet though. I even got a third one, that I got from Ti-Concours contest because I won one round. :)
In the meantime I've already been working on a basic Hex-to-Binary-to-sprite converter. With the help of Weregoose , who gave an awesome hex to binary function and Xeda, who did several cool optimizations on my code I got it done. Now I still gotta see what I'll do with it exactly.
Happy CSE'ing!
TI-Planet announced the results from the Dragon Ball Z contest this morning.
And apparently I was the best, which means I won!
I'm very happy and I as winner I had the ability to choose from the 2 calculators(TI-Nspire CX and TI-84 Plus Colour SE). I chose for the TI-84 Plus Colour, and I'm sure I'll be happy with it! I'm very grateful for this gift and hereby thank the TI-Planet team. :)
For correct answers to the questions and see the other contestants rank you can click the link and read the full article.
When my prize arrives I'll try to as fast as possible take some pictures of it and post it here! See you then!
Ti-Concours 2013 is over and I ended up second. Xeda, who did a great job got a deserved prize. :)
Well done to all the winners of TI-Concours!
See site
I may have not won this contest, but Ti-Planet just started another new one: Dragon Ball Z Treasure Hunt.
We have to answer several questions regarding 2 pieces of code that are seen for a few seconds in one of the Dragon Ball Z episodes.
For some reason I feel this is more a contest for me. Wish me luck!
I recently made a separate small update to Myst 89 so it'll work properly on the Voyage 200 and TI-92+.
However this just makes it compatible, and does not feature bigger and better images. ;)
You can download it here.
Also, TI-Concours is still busy. I reached the final together with Xeda. Sunday it'll (normally be the first part of the final, where'll I'l have a video chat with the judge.
TI-Concours started this month, and I entered in for the 68K basic section. The first round is over, so there's still a round2 and final round to be played, if I'm not mistaken.
The objective of round1 was to make Force3/Clou, which is a tic-tac-toe variant.
Instead of just placing your pions, you can also still slide the bases where they're on(8 bases) and move your pion to another spot. Also, each player is limited to 3 pions.
I never heard of this game, but with the help on the World Wide Web, I got the necessary information I was looking for, and in about a week(that's the time we had) I could make this port.
Although I'm pretty happy with my end result, it looks like I had no other competitors in this round, since I already heard that I was basically the only one who sent a entry(Except Xeda Elnara, who sent a useless program instead for fun).
A few days ago, my new(secondhand) calculator came in the mail to add to my little collection.
The calculator has an issue turning on, but this seemed to be due to the operating system being corrupted. So my brother could with the help of Brandon Wilson bring it back to a working state.
The TI-84+ is in a decent state and will help me in my goal to be able to run *all* the files on Ticalc.org ;)
The usb feature is new to me, but it looks awesome. The only problem is that it still won't wok on a mac, but this is the fault of TI-Connect X. However that bug should be fixed, I think, in V4, which should come out in april, if I'm not mistaken.
Yes, I'm still alive, and no I have not yet stopped with programming calculators.
The thing is I have not found a lot of time to do so these past weeks and month.
I have not rightaway an update to Project Mine, but what I probably do can tell you is that I am changing it.
It won't be anymore a 2D minicraft game, but I'm thinking of using the engine to create a rpg sort of game, and since the title will probably remain "Project Mine" for now, I guess it'll be minicraft. :P
But I have to say, these are still just ideas. Please don't be too dissapointed if I decide to do something else anyway.
Hav I programmed something recently?
Actually, yes I have. Not two days ago, actually. I made a fake-chat program for my brother(Ti-basic on my TI-89). It features: real time, bold (random out of a list) names, typed-like (random out of a list) sentences. Although I didn't add a lot of things in the list, I find the neverending chat log, quite entertaining.
I won't be uploading it rightaway though, since it was a present for my brother, and that means it's only for him. :P
Anyway, just wanted to say, I'm still alive and kicking.
Thanks for reading my blog.
I'm introducing a new project that I'm working on: Project Mine.
I finally, for the first time ever, made a good working smooth-scrolling engine. So cheer with me.
It's intended to become a 2d Minecraft clone for your TI-89. I'm programming it in the language Newprog, which means that I can have 4-level grayscale as well, which you can see in the animated screenshot. I will use the same tiles as the game Minecraft, just converted to 4-level grayscale and eventually edit it.
Currently I'm working on collision detection. For small updates you may want to check this tread once in a while.

Michigan Football Recruiting: Michael Ferns — 2014 Time Capsule
Michael Ferns is already on campus getting ready for spring practice to start February 25th. While enrolled early not only gets him prepared for spring football, but also getting acclimated in a few classes as well and being a student-athlete at the college level eight months ahead of the normal student at the University of Michigan.
GBMWolverine Readers: Here is a overview of University of Michigan 2014 Signed Commit Michael Ferns.

Follow Michael: on Twitter
Coach Hoke on Ferns:
"Michael, from Saint Clairsville, Ohio, has really good range to him, very productive at the point of attack and physical. He came in early in January, and I think he's really acclimated well."
Key Stats:
Totaled 144 tackles, four sacks and two forced fumbles as a senior. Registered 133 tackles as a junior and 136 tackles as a sophomore.
Ferns attended but did not participate due to injury in the 2014 Under Armour All-America Game. First-team All-Eastern District selection as a senior. Also a first-team All-OVAC choice as a senior. Garnered Ohio Special Honorable Mention All-State accolades as a senior.
24/7: .
Rivals: .
Scout: .
Note: Stars do matter, but are not absolute in predicting success within a football program. So, with that in mind the GBMWolverine Staff has cleverly come up with a new system of ranking. We are using footballs instead of stars, how can one argue against a system that clever? Below are the interpretations of football power predicted way too boldly long before it matters. In other words, we will give informed opinion with the crystal ball and let the players determine what will happen through years of hard work.
Criteria: Raw talent, athleticism, position of need, intangibles.
10 footballs: Instant impact player.
9 footballs: Three or four-year starter at a high level.
8 footballs: A starter with all league potential.
7 footballs: A meaningful starter at some time during a career.
6 footballs: A spot starter or special teams player.
5 footballs: Not in the two deep after a two years.
4 footballs: Never made it.
1-3 footballs: See the above.
Remember just as we did during the season with grading positions or groups we are very tough graders and expect a lot out of those positions or players so this is no different here.
His Recruiting Story:
A 4.0 student who was taking classes at Ohio University Eastern, Ferns didn't go into the college selection process thinking strictly about football.
Ferns' final three choices also included the Fighting Irish and Nittany Lions before ultimately deciding that the opportunity to play in the "Big House," take part in one of the greatest rivalries in sports against the Buckeyes and the UM degree was just too much to overlook.
To be able to get to this point, Ferns had to significantly increase his academic workload in his junior year of high school. "A lot of it was stressful last year," Ferns said. "I was taking two English classes, three science classes, trigonometry and senior government. I was stacked from the start of the day until the end of the day. By the time, I got home, it was off to bed and get ready to do it all over again the next day."
Ferns admits that leaving his friends and classmates some six months earlier than most is difficult. "It's going to be tough, but I think everyone respects and understands my decision," Ferns said.
His Commitment Comments:
"It was academics and athletics," Ferns said. "It was a combination of both. We were talking big programs here and Michigan stood out in both regards. It was the top public university at the time when I committed." By enrolling early, Ferns will begin his classes and take part in the Wolverines' off-season weight program and then spring practice as well as the Wolverines' spring game. "I'll have a lot of credits done by the time I get to my freshman year," Ferns said. "I think scheduling will be a lot easier for me because I'll be basically done with my freshman courses. It's just going to make the adapting to college life much easier."
This kids importance goes beyond his football playing. he is the most vocal cheerleader for UM in the class and leader.
St. Clairsville is a very nice, typical mid-western town; right at the edge of what most say is the east coast geographic and cultural setting. In the spring, trout fishing is a few miles away in Pennsylvania. The area is smack in the middle of the football rich western Pennsylvania and northeast Ohio area.
One of Ohio's most talented football players, Michael Ferns, expressed a true interest in the Michigan program. He visited and the feedback was positive. A second visit cemented his affirmation for Michigan as a final college destination to spend four or so years undergoing academics and playing Division One football.
The early summer found Michigan, PSU, and Notre Dame as early favorites as expressed in media articles. Clearly, the unfortunate PSU events may have played a factor in the recruiting decision.
Michael and his family, from media articles seem to attach a high level of importance to high character and scholarship. While Happy Valley is closer, Ann Arbor is within range of a day trip, the difference being only about 75 miles.
Michael Ferns is the type of student athlete who seems to be gravitating to the Michigan program.
Michael definitely passes the site test, in fact, big time. He is a big athlete capable of playing multiple positions. Michael pays linebacker, tailback, tight end, and slot at the high school level. Although we believe Michael ends up on defense at either Sam linebacker or a defensive end, but fullback is also a definite possibility. The plain fact is Michael is very talented and athletic enough to play numerous positions on either side of the ball. Michael is a very strong student with a reported 4.0 GPA.
Michael combines excellent size with good speed, a combination all college coaches crave in recruits. He moves his feet very well and plays with acceptable pad level. As one would expect with the multiple positions Michael plays, he does not shy away from contact, either tackling or blocking.
There are a few concerns to be addressed. First, Michael is a bit stiff and will need to loosen up. Second, his feet tend to go dead on contact. And finally, Michael plays at a lower level of competition. Regarding these concerns: There are advanced flexibility programs that can overcome this stiffness. Michael will be taught to drive through the ball. And playing smaller competition, compared to say a Jake Ryan or Joe Bolden, may place Michael in a situation where he would benefit greatly from early admission.
Both linebacker and defensive end will have depth by the time Michael arrives in Ann Arbor. There will be ample time for Michael to develop and learn the system. When a high level talent needs a little time to catch up, this is called the tadpole effect. Give a talented guy a little time to adjust to the competition and the speed of the game at the college level, and he typically will.
Red-shirt or play his Freshman Year?
GBMWolverine believes he will likely red-shirt his first year. There will be no need to rush Michael into playing time, but a great athlete can earn special teams time.
Michael Ferns reminds the GBMWolverine Staff of — Former Michigan Football Player — Larry Stevens — who played Defensive End.
Video Highlights:
Michigan is getting a very important commit in Michael Ferns. The next two years will determine how much more he improves and physically develops. The future is very bright in all regards for this young prospect, and Michigan fans should be very proud that a player of this talent, scholarship, and character has declared to play in Ann Arbor. He was the first recruits in the 2014 class make first impressions.
We welcome Michael Ferns to Michigan and hope he has a successful career on and off the football field as a student-athlete at the University of Michigan. Go Blue!

FILMSTUDY: Offensive line model & notes, Super Bowl XLVII
Posted By Ken McKusick On February 6, 2013 @ 10:03 am In Blog View,Featured,Filmstudy | 9 Comments
Joe Flacco completed an amazing postseason with the Super Bowl MVP award.
As usual, he was good when the offensive line provided Ample Time and Space (ATS). They did so on 18 of 35 drop backs (51%) Sunday. With ATS, Flacco was 12 of 18 for 165 yards, 2 TD/0 INT (9.2 YPP, matching his season average). It's important to convert opportunities with ATS, but against one of the league's best defenses, Flacco was outstanding without ATS.
Let's review those 17 opportunities without ATS by play:
(Q1, 11:58) McDonald bulled Oher to get his hand in Flacco's face, but Joe completed a 20-yard pass to Torrey Smith outside the right numbers.
(Q1, 10:56) Brooks beat Dickson to flush the pocket. Flacco rolled right then threw the ball well over the head of Torrey Smith double covered in the back of the end zone.
(Q1, 10:42) McKinney was bulled by Brooks for pressure as Flacco threw between the goalposts where it was brought down by Boldin for a touchdown.
(Q1, 3:54) Off play action with the line zone blocking to the right, Flacco rolled left, was knocked down by Aldon Smith, and delivered a 9-yard completion to Pitta on the left sideline.
(Q1, 1:34) Flacco delivered a slant that Boldin was unable to haul in on the right hash between Rogers and Whitner. The ball was out quickly, but the right side had given some ground and Flacco did not have room to step into the throw.
(Q1, 1:31) Oher was bulled by McDonald and Brooks, which flushed Flacco to the right, but Joe unloaded down the right sideline where Boldin outleaped Culliver for the football and a 30-yard completion.
(Q1, 1:06) Flacco escaped a sack from Aldon Smith to flip a short pass to Leach 9 yards behind the LoS. Had Leach known the pass was forward, he probably would have dropped it intentionally, but he recovered 6 yards to lose just 3.
(Q1, 0:17) McDonald bulled Oher for a 5-yard sack.
(Q2, 8:10) Sopoaga beat McKinney for pressure as Flacco threw left for Dickson for a gain of 14.
(Q2, 6:23) Rice picked up the blitzing Rogers and the ball was out quickly to Leach for a gain of 5 by the left sideline. This was a case where Flacco was not pressured when he threw, but the pocket would not have held up for 3 seconds.
(Q2, 3:17) Rogers again came unblocked off the left edge. Flacco released quickly, but over the head of Torrey Smith in the right corner of the end zone. I want to check the All-22 on this, but it did not appear Culliver ever found the football, so an in-bounds pass probably would have resulted in pass interference or a TD.
(Q2, 2:07) McDonald pushed back Yanda and Flacco delivered the slant a little high to Jones who was unable to hold on.
(Q3, 12:10) Sopoaga drove back Birk. The ball was out quickly to Smith, who was covered by Bowman, for a gain of 15 (10 + 5 YAC). The pocket would not have held up for 3 seconds. Birk was charged with a miss on this play.
(Q3, 6:27) McKinnie failed to block Brooks allowing a dangerous full-speed blind-side sack of Flacco. Joe held on to hold the damage to a loss of 8 that would force the Ravens to punt.
(Q4, 13:05) With the Ravens 3rd-and-goal from just outside the 1, Flacco was pressured by Brooks and McDonald, who beat Oher and Yanda off the right edge. Joe outraced them to the edge, waited for someone to break free, then finally threw the ball away and took a QH (high and well out of bounds) from Sopoaga.
(Q4, 9:51) Rice failed to pick up the blitzing Bowman, but immediately turned to receive Flacco's pass as Joe took a big hit. Rice would weave for a 4-yard gain (-6 + 10 YAC).
(Q4, 7:14) The 49ers sent a 6-man run blitz on 3rd and inches from the Ravens 45. Flacco checked off at the LoS and lobbed the ball for Boldin covered by Rogers on the right sideline just as McDonald had backed up Yanda into his face. Boldin ripped the ball free from Rogers who never turned for the football, but had a hand in Boldin's face and was pushing him backwards. For those complaining about the final 4th-and-5 call, this was at least as obvious a missed interference penalty. The 15-yard gain was perhaps the game's biggest play and extended the drive that would result in a FG to put the Ravens up 5.
To summarize the results without ATS:
The Ravens' starting linemen played all 68 snaps (excluding Tucker's 8-yard run and Koch's intentional safety).
McKinnie: Bryant had a big brain fart when he blocked inside rather than pick up Brooks on his sack (Q3, 6:27) He surrendered a pressure to Brooks on a bull (Q1, 10:42), failed to block Aldon Smith (Q1, 1:06) to allow a pressure, and was beaten inside by Sopoaga (Q1, 8:10) for another pressure. While he also accumulated 8 missed blocks, he and Osemele did a decent job picking up T-E stunts from the 49ers and Aldon Smith had a relatively quiet night (1 QH, 1 pressure). Scoring: 56 blocks, 8 missed, 3 pressures, 2/3 sack, 46 points (.68 per play). Considering the fact he was bailed out on 1/3 of a sack against the bonus for his work on Aldon Smith, that's a C-.
Osemele: Against one of the league's best defensive lines and with his primary assignment being Justin Smith, Kelechi turned in one of his finest scores of the season and was not party to a single negative event. His highlight blocks included:
He would finish with 4 blocks in level 2 and 2 pancakes, but was not asked to pull. By the second half, Justin Smith was annoyed with his blocking to the whistle and he can be seen taking a swipe back (Q3, 11:40). That's always a good sign to me that the offensive lineman isn't just beating his opponent on individual plays, but wearing him down. Scoring: 64 blocks, 4 missed, 64 points (.94 per play). Osemele completed an outstanding postseason with his 2nd A+ (previous was Indy).
Birk: Matt also had his best score of the season with only 3 missed blocks and some decent run blocking. More impressive was the fact he didn't give up significant push when pass blocking all game despite the fact the 49ers rushed 5 or more on 14 occasions. He had 8 blocks in level 2 and 2 pancakes. Scoring: 65 blocks, 3 missed, 65 points (.96 per play). That's an A. His weekly scores since Osemele has been moved to guard are .85, .91, .93, .96. Especially considering the quality of competition, that's a lot better than his regular season average of .83. I'd say playing with quality guards on each side has helped him tremendously and it also seems to have improved communication on the line as a whole.
Yanda: Marshal was challenged by McDonald, who twice bulled him for pressure (Q2, 2:07 and Q4, 7:14). I also charged him with a penetration when he blocked McDonald straight ahead while the rest of the line was zone blocking to the right (Q4, 9:18). That allowed NaVorro Bowman to penetrate to take down Rice for a loss of 3. He completed the season (18 games, 1,118 snaps) without being party to a single sack. He made 9 blocks in level 2, but had an atypical game with just 1 of 3 successful pulls. Scoring: 68 blocks, 3 missed, 1 penetration, 2.5 pressures, 54 points (.79 per play). C.
Oher: Michael had trouble with both Ray McDonald and Ahmad Brooks. McDonald bulled Oher for a sack (Q1, 0:17) and a pressure (Q1, 11:58). McDonald had Oher beaten outside on the play where McKinnie failed to block Brooks. I gave 2/3 of that sack to McKinnie and charged Oher with the equivalent of a pressure. The dynamic duo of Brooks and McDonald also combined to bull Oher for a flush that led to Brooks' QH (Q1, 1:31) on Flacco's 30-yard rolling toss to Boldin. I'd like to say he looked good as a run blocker, but he whiffed on the cat-quick Brooks on 4 separate occasions. Scoring: 56 blocks, 7 missed, 1.5 pressures, 1 QH, 1.33 sacks, 42 points (.62 per play). D.
