My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
I've been asked a few times in the past if I have any tips on creating props using paper mache. I decided it was time to create a tutorial. In fact, I will be adding a collection of tutorials to the 'Horrific How To's' section in the next few weeks.
If you're interested in learning about a basic approach to paper mache, making simple mache casts of objects, and getting some advice from someone who has worked with this medium for a few years, I invite you to read Paper Mache - The Ghoul Friday Way.
I will announce any new tutorials as they are created. Hope you enjoy it!
Naoto Hattori is originally from Japan but has lived, studied and worked in New York for several years now. He went from graffiti tagging under bridges to creating company ads.
Hattori often gets hired for CD cover designs which suits him fine since he's a music fan and feels at home in the scene. You can also catch a glimpse of his art (perhaps only a fleeting glimpse) on snowboards and skateboards (keeping close to his graffiti-roots?).
What I like about him as an artist is that one picture can be soft, welcoming, almost disarming despite the gruesome undertones. The next can be completely in your face, pushing you back in your chair.
Hattori paints whatever fancies him; whatever pops into his head. You might say it reveals a darker side to him, but the man makes a good point about the public and his art:
Someone was talking about Grandin Road on a forum. Being Canadian, I'd never heard of the store. My first impression is Martha Stewart meets Pottery Barn with a hint of (overpriced) IKEA. They have some nice items for Halloween but it's way above my price point ($40 for a wreath. $100 for a lamp).
If I were to create a Christmas wish list, I might have to put this little item near the top. Yes, it's borderline hideous but it reminds me of A Christmas Story ("the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window"); the beloved major award with a Halloween twist.
I especially like the skull at the very top.
Someone needs to tell my beloved Yetch that I've been eyeing this. And reassure him I'd put it in my office.
For any freakish foodies out there, I am the bearer of bad news: your one legal chance to taste - or at least experience the taste of - human flesh has come and gone. The dark window of opportunity was briefly open between May 2005 and June 2006, and we missed it.
Mind you, if the idea of tofu turns you off even more than human flesh, you didn't miss anything.
The product was called Hufu (human tofu). It was the "healthy human flesh alternative", made to mimic the texture and taste (secret ingredient: teriyaki sauce) of human flesh and targeted at - get this - anthropology students studying cannibalism.
While lurking on Facebook, I came across one group's topic that asked the question "Is Halloween Dying Out?". Posters were quick to confirm this, citing sexual predators and political correctness (for example, kids no longer dressing up at their schools) as key causes. In my opinion, they missed the mark somewhat.
Halloween is not dying out, just evolving. Though there are rampant reports of a steady decline in trick or treaters, more and more people are throwing Halloween parties (for themselves as adults but especially for their kids). Instead of going door to door, the children meet up at one house to celebrate the holiday together. There is also an increase in community events that families attend. One stop trick or treating, so to speak. No fuss, no muss.
For those of you in the Minnesota area who've ever said to yourself "I need more culture, but Shakespeare is so...1608", now might be the time to attend some theatre.
The Minnesota Fringe Festival has a wide lineup of shows to choose from, but I'd probably try to see a production by Walking Shadow Theatre Company entitled Shakespeare's Land of the Dead.
Imagine London, 1599. Interior scene: Globe Playhouse. While Shakespeare is trying to launch his play, he's suffering from a few distractions including a plague that is turning his fellow Elizabethans into the walking dead.
The first prop of the year, and it isn't even for me. I'd started making it for a friend last winter, and the poor little thing has been sitting in my office unpainted ever since. I finally took the time to finish it this afternoon.
She's made from styrofoam balls, acrylic paint, bathroom tissue mache, a stick, some moss for the base and an old pot. You can make one just like it using the same technique I did (see Carnivorous Plant in the Horrific How-To's section).
Basically, it's styrofoam balls stuck on wire and attached to a stick. I then dip toilet paper in a glue/water mix and cover the wire with it (creating leaves and eyelids). Wait for it to dry completely. Then start layering different shades and colours of paint.
If you're in the mood for vintage Halloween, there's some fun items on display over at Spookshows.com. The first terrifying toy that caught my eye was Uncle Fester's Mystery Light Bulb ( 1967). The bulb actually lights up in your hand (or your mouth in classic Fester fashion) when the metal lamp base comes into contact with a special ring included in the box (or aluminum foil). Adding an element of danger to this toy is the fact that the bulb base was not reverse threaded which apparently is good if you want to start a fire or give yourself a nice little jolt.
Hailing from California, Alex Pardee is today's artist pick. He is a freelance illustrator and an apparel designer.
His bio, posted on his MySpace Page (and no, I don't link to MySpace Pages because they are just so wrong, but you can access it through his nicely designed, non-abomination-of-code website http://www.eyesuckink.com/), states:
"Final pieces are often brought to life by translating random shapes and colors into signs of torment and absurdity. By juxtaposing these two conflicting moods, Alex makes his works more personal to his viewers, forcing them to project their own feelings and emotions onto each character in his twisted universe. After months of hospitalization and many futile attempts at seeking out professional help, Alex finally overcame his battle with severe depression and anxiety through his own form of therapy: art.
Zombi 2, Zombie, Zombie Flesh Eaters, Zombi.
Call it what you will. This 1979 movie by Lucio Fulci may not be the best zombie movie ever made, but it is worth a look. At the very least, watch the underwater zombie-vs-shark scene (with the actual shark trainer as the zombie; a last minute casting decision when the original stunt actor was unavailable the day before the shoot. Coincidence?). You can watch a clip of it further in this post.
I could go into more detail about the different titles this film went by around the world or what to expect in terms of plot, but Tim Brayton over on "Antagony & Ecstasy" does a great review with loads of information.
And don't go looking for Zombi Part 1, because this movie isn't actually a sequel. There just happened to be another movie out at the time called 'Zombie', so to differentiate it, they called it part 2. Because that's less confusing. Apparently.
My self-published book is still available!

Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

A discussion on the gains that young adult immigrants or the U.S.-born children of immigrants have made in education and employment, with speakers: Michael Fix, Jeanne Batalova, Andrew P. Kelly, Raul Gonzalez, and Margie McHugh.
The story of immigrant integration in the United States has historically been one of generational progress, with the gains for second-generation Hispanic women particularly impressive, as this report reveals. It profiles first- and second-generation young adults ages 16 to 26, examining this diverse population's education and career pathways.
With the ten year anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks approaching, the Migration Policy Institute held a conference call to discuss the most significant changes that have occurred in the immigration arena in the decade since the attacks.
This fact sheet details the policy, programmatic, budget, and manpower changes that have happened in the immigration arena as an outgrowth of the 9/11 attacks.
This report reviews the history of immigration legislation since 9/11, the new enforcement mandates that arose immediately afterward, and the unsuccessful efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform bills during the 109th and 110th Congresses.
Since 1970, the immigrant populations from Mexico and Central America living in the United States have increased significantly: rising by a factor of 20 even as the total U.S. immigrant population increased four-fold over the period. This demographic report examines the age, educational, and workforce characteristics of these immigrants.
Migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries rarely collaborate on migration issues because the structure of global migration systems ensures they often disagree about core policy issues. This report shows that migration collaboration makes sense when states share common goals they cannot achieve on their own.
This discussion focuses on the MPI report, "Executive Action on Immigration: Six Ways to Make the System Work Better," which outlines administrative actions that can be implemented to improve the immigration system.

Gene Editing in Human Embryos
We, both in the church and in broader society, need to think carefully together about how new technology should be used, even as we give thanks for the fruitfulness of modern science, medicine, and technology.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
We, both in the church and in broader society, need to think carefully together about how new technology should be used, even as we give thanks for the fruitfulness of modern science, medicine, and technology.
Ted Davis traces the interesting (and often disturbing) history of how Christians have used evolutionary science to justify un-Christian views, and makes some suggestions about a better relationship between science and Christian faith.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
This week in our Origins News Roundup: News of new nucleobases, the future of synthetic biology, and some healthy dialogue and critique of certain aspects of modern science.
Today's Origins News Roundup features a tour of trending topics in neuroscience, from commentaries and questions made recently by popular media to developments in neuroengineering and the BRAIN initiative.
Collins poses, as the central question of his book: "In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews?"
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
When presented with the evidence for human population sizes over our evolutionary history, a common point of confusion for evangelicals is how this evidence fits with Mitochondrial Eve. How can we all come from one woman (and one man) but also come from a large population of 10,000 individuals?
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.

Interpretive Handbook
9648 :
HLA-B27, Blood
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
This major histocompatibility coded class I antigen is associated with ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and Reiter syndrome. The mechanism of the association is not understood but probably is that of linkage disequilibrium.
There is an increased prevalence of HLA-B27 in certain rheumatic diseases, particularly ankylosing spondylitis.
Studies have demonstrated that the B*27:06 allele, which is present in a small percentage of individuals of Asian ethnicity, may not be associated with ankylosing spondylitis.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assisting in the diagnostic process of ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and Reiter syndrome
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Approximately 8% of the normal population carries the HLA-B27 antigen.
HLA-B27 is present in approximately 89% of patients with ankylosing spondylitis, 79% of patients with Reiter syndrome, and 42% of patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. However, lacking other data, it is not diagnostic for these disorders.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Orders received for both this test and SSO1 / HLA Class I Molecular Phenotype, Blood or DISI / HLA Class I Molecular Typing Disease Association (which provides data on all HLA Class I low-resolution antigens, including B27) will be questioned due to test overlap. This HLA-B27 test is best used alone if a particular disease such as ankylosing spondylitis is under consideration.
Extreme temperature changes during shipping may alter the specimen making it unacceptable for testing.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

Team of the Week
Score two goals and you put yourself in a pretty good spot to be named to the MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week. Giles Barnes scored two goals against the Montreal Impact, and he got exactly that.
Barnes was off to the races to tuck away the opening goal just before the half-hour mark, then tied it up thirty minutes later to start the comeback for the 3-2 win. This is Barnes' second Team of the Week award this season after he scored another brace in Week 9 against Chivas USA.
The Englishman also earned nods in Soccer By Ives' Best XI and Goal.com's Team of the Week.
World Cup hangover? Hardly. Brad Davis has returned to MLS play without missing a beat, and perhaps even elevating his already high standard of play. Davis was named to the MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week for Week 18 for his two goal night against Toronto FC, and overall solid performance on Saturday night.
The Dynamo captain put Houston ahead 1-0 in the 13th minute after receiving a pass in the box from Giles Barnes.
Click here to view Brad's first goal
Davis wasted little time scoring his second goal of the night in the 30th minute. Barnes once again found Davis alone in the box after a cross from the near side of the pitch. Davis used his left foot to find the back of the net.
Click here to view Brad's second goal
Since returning to MLS action Davis has scored three goals, and has scored or assisted a goal in eight straight appearances. Davis will look to continue that momentum on Saturday when the Dynamo play host to Toronto FC at BBVA Compass Stadium (TICKETS).
It's been a few weeks, but a Dynamo player is once again getting some recognition in MLSsoccer.com's Team of the Week. This week, the honor goes to defender David Horst for his role in keeping a shutout for the Dynamo in Saturday's 0-0 draw in Philadelphia. Here's what the editors had to say about Mr. Wreck-It:
"Absolutely dominant in his own box, clearing balls and preventing the Union from winning any aerial chances. Also put in a few good blocks and challenges to deny Union chances."
Horst and the rest of the Dynamo backline notched their third clean sheet of the season, and the first since Week 2 against the Montreal Impact.
Another week, another win, another Dynamo player on MLSsoccer.com's Team of the Week. This time it's Kofi Sarkodie, who came through in the clutch to clear yet another ball of the line and preserve a second straight shutout for the Dynamo defense. Here's what they had to say about the young right back:
"Cleared yet another goal off the line, and nearly scored a beautiful one of his own, while playing a strong two-way game vs. the Impact."
Tally Hall earned honorable mention this week, making the bench. See the full Team of the Week here.
Winning a game 4-0, like the Dynamo did against the New England Revolution on Saturday night, usually means that there were some standout performances on the field. A couple of those individual performances on the field garnered attention from MLSsoccer.com, and landed Will Bruin and Boniek García on their Team of the Week for Week 1.
Here's what they had to say about Bruin's two goal, one assist outing: "Responds to the naysayers who questioned his finishing with two fantastic strikes in the opening 13 minutes. Will this set the tone for the year? We'll forget the 1-v-1 in the second half on which he should've done better."
García was on the receiving end of Bruin's assist, which he finished with authority after a late midfield run: "Spectacular performance by the Honduran international, who is omnipresent and even more impactful in the center of the field. Makes things happen when the ball is at his feet."
David Horst was also honored as one of seven bench players on the Team of the Week for his part in helping to keep a clean sheet in the first match of the year.
Giles Barnes had a pretty good game on Saturday. Leading the charge with the first two goals in a 5-1 rout over Chivas USA earned him a spot on MLSsoccer.com's Team of the Week for Week 30.
This is his second Team of the Week nod, the first coming in Week 25. This also marks the second consecutive week with a Dynamo player in the XI after Ricardo Clark was included last week.
The Dynamo's other two-goal scorer from the weekend, Boniek García, was named an honorable mention.
Barnes also led the league's weekly Castrol Index Top 20 after his performance, collecting 1,683 points. García and Will Bruin, who added a goal and an assist on Saturday, came in at No. 9 and 14, respectively.
Following his game-winning goal and helping pitch a shutout in a 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday, midfielder Ricardo Clark earned MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week honors for Week 29.
Clark's header was his second against Philadelphia this season, both resulting in 1-0 Dynamo wins. It was Clark's third goal of the year, matching a career high.
This is Clark's first Team of the Week selection since the first week of the season, joining Bobby Boswell and Brad Davis as the only Dynamo players with multiple selections so far in 2013.
Score a couple of goals, make Team of the Week. That's the formula for Giles Barnes in Week 25, as MLSsoccer.com named him to their weekly best XI. Here's what they had to say about him:
"Clint Dempsey may be making the headlines, but Barnes stole the show as Houston topped visiting Seattle, 3-1. The English forward netted two well-struck goals, including a highlight-reel second goal."
That goal has the Dynamo forward up for Goal of the Week as well, which you can vote for here. Barnes is also up for Feature Subject of the Week (I made this award up) thanks to Tom Dart's story for The Guardian chronicling the Englishman's career (read here).
Will Bruin, Barnes' strike partner, garnered an honorable mention nod for notching a goal and an assist over the weekend.
Dynamo midfielder Boniek Garcia is certainly rounding into form this season, and his performance last weekend against the Columbus Crew earned him Team of the Week honors from MLSsoccer.com. Here's what they had to say about him:
Had a dominant showing on Houston's right flank in their 3-1 win over the Columbus Crew, helping set up two goals as he showed the form that made him one of signings of the season last year.
The smiling Honduran was surely happy with the team's result on Saturday, and again yesterday with the news of former Olimpia teammate Alexander López joining the Dynamo yesterday.
You can see Boniek's first assist to Will Bruin here, and his cross to Bruin that Cam Weaver finishes off here.
You had to have known this was coming.
After netting two fantastic goals against New England to punctuate his regular steady shift in a 2-1 victory, Dynamo midfielder Adam Moffat was named to the MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week for Week 20.
This is Moffat's first inclusion on the Team of the Week this season.

New Hot Dog Joint in South Gate
P Dogs
13610 South Garfield Ave.
South Gate, Ca.
In the old Hollydale area.
I was taking my usual sunday cruise down Garfield Ave. headed towards Long Beach for the last month and noticed this new stand pop up, so toady I decided to stop in and give it a try.
The owners name is Alex a cool guy to talk to. We discussed various hot dog joints around L.A. and he told me his story on why he decided to start his own stand. I asked him about his chili dog and he told me it's his own take, a very unique take. I would say he's added an extra dimension to the chili dog.
First off it's NOT your classic chili dog. The dog is a quarter pound skinless dog split and grilled for you fresh. The bun is one of the larger sesame seed buns you find on most specialty dogs. That's what this chili dog is really - a SPECIALTY dog. The cheese is 3 types shredded and layered on top of the chili.
I think I've tasted the dog before from a stand that used to be in East Los Angeles before the Metro line moved in. It was near the corner of 3rd and Arizona, too bad I can't remember the name.
The Chili is not your typical gravy type chili you find at other places like Pinks, Larry's, or Chronies. The chili consist of pulled (shredded) beef in a seasoned yet light au juis. On top of the dog the chili adds a dimension that I've never tasted on a chili dog before. The chili meat is moist and flaky and doesn't break apart the bun with it's juices.
This stand has been open for around 1 month, the menu includes Dodger dogs, bacon wrapped dogs (the T.J. dog) included in a full menu. I believe this stand is going to get another couple visits in the next few Sundays by me so I can further dwell into the menu.
I understand from talking to the owner Alex that he's looking into finding a source that can provide an old fashion dog with its skin on. Hopefully sooner than later.
I would definitely recommend a TRY IT for all the chowhounds into hot dogs.
"I think I've tasted the dog before from a stand that used to be in East Los Angeles before the Metro line moved in. It was near the corner of 3rd and Arizona, too bad I can't remember the name."
Place was called "Between The Bun". They used a natural casing hot dog they claimed was made for them from Cantella's (same they use at Tommy's and I believe The Stand). Their downfall was the location and trying to sell a $4-$5 chili dog in an area selling $1 tacos.
Good P Dogs is serving a hefty 1/4 pound dog...but skinless isn't for me. "Shredded" chili sounds interesting though.
"... he's looking into finding a source that can provide an old fashion dog with its skin on."
Tell Alex to look no further. Vienna Beef delivers to hot dog stands all over the country. See: www.viennabeef.com
re: hnsbmg
I'm sure all hot dog places look at Vienna, but you don't see their logo at all hot dog stands for one reason or another. Couple reasons could be they have to order a minimum amount of product and prices.
re: monku
You don't see the Vienna Beef logo at Portillo's, monku, but as noted in a thread last year ( http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/613835 ), their dog is, nevertheless, Vienna Beef. The only really good non-V hot dog I've ever had was in Chicago at Superdawg, which has theirs made to spec.
re: hnsbmg
Been to Portillo's and I know they serve Vienna. The Vienna name logo is on their famous "The Original Dog House" and I'm sure seen "Vienna" somewhere in the restaurant.
re: monku
Hey, you're right, monku -- I've never spotted that. And it looks like it was drawn by Krazy Kat! You must have incredible vision, because that little menu image is unreadable (to me, anyway) at less than double-size. The next time I'm in the restaurant, I'll take my Sherlock Holmes magnifier and look for it.
I wonder why neither Portillo's nor Vienna Beef was willing to say, in answer to a direct question, that they DO make the connection explicit? Actually, though, the menu seems to be the only place it appears. I can't find the word "Vienna" anywhere else on the Portillo's Web site -- see: http://tinyurl.com/2fgawjk . Of course, I await your sharp inspection before making a final determination. ;-)
re: hnsbmg
Went to Portillo's today and looked high and low for the Vienna logo. The Vienna connection was mentioned in some of the news articles on the wall and again on the "The Original Dog House" picture and printed to-go menus, but almost obscured if you didn't know it was there.
Finally I asked someone behind the counter if they used Vienna hot dogs and the person confirmed it and I asked why it isn't advertised and he pointed to a neon sign on the patio window. I mentioned they should have more signage about their Vienna connection.
Went today on my way from Culver City to Anaheim. Very Good Dog interesting flavors. I noted hints which reminded me of the flavors of Lenuiça that i grew up with back east. The dog is a meal in itself and a chili P-Dog with everything included was wrapped in bacon on top of everything else included in the picture.
The P-Dog came together real well and was the first chili dog I have eaten that did not have some part land on My shirt which is an accomplishment in itself.
Fries were way too salty but that is an easy fix for next time..
Take Care.
re: Mattapoisett in LA
Thanks for the picture. How much did the Chili Dog cost?
re: Norm Man
Th P-Dog is the biggest and the priciest on the menu the combo was $7 ish and I think the stand alone 1/4 lb P-dog was $5-ish and they had smaller dogs and sausages plus burgers and chicken on the menu.
Also here is another pic which Dommy says gives a better angle and shows more stuff.
re: Mattapoisett in LA
If anything the fries look great.
I just got back from PDogs and had a Dodger Dog Combo which was around 6 and some change. Combo includes your choice of French Fries (crinkle cut) or Macaroni Salad and something else. I ordered the French Fries and a typical Dodger Dog (mustard, ketchup, relish and chopped onions).
The dog is a Farmer John Dodger Dog GRILLED (not boiled) on a classic white bun. The dog is grilled whole, not split like the larger dog. The first bite reminded my of when I was a kid going to Dodger stadium with my parents. Grilling the dog REALLY brings out all the great flavors.
The fries where crinkle cut, nice and crunchy not to salty and fresh.
When you order the Dodger Dog they'll ask you what you want on it, so you can be adventurous if you want.This is the second item I've tried from this stand and it's a winner.
I think next time I'm definitely trying the PDog!

- Independent
- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
A night that saw former Major League superstar Roger Clemens throw out the first pitch amid an array of pregame festivities suddenly got halted by a heavy downpour, resulting in a near 2 1/2 hour delay from getting underway.
Wednesday's 2013 Atlantic League All-Star game hosted by the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs' Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf did not exactly unfold according to form, as the postgame fireworks were actually let off prior to the action beginning to avoid the county's curfew restriction given the rain delay.
And finally at 9:33 p.m. with most of the 7,128 fans in attendance returning for the bulk of the game, there was all-star baseball on the field.
But even the game lacked the usual all-star offensive-minded feel, relying on the league's newly implemented homer-off to determine the outcome after both the Liberty Division and Freedom Division completed the ninth inning in a 1-all tie.
Freedom's Corey Smith (Somerset) managed to hit the only long ball of the homer-off to win the All-Star game for his side and thus take home Most Valuable Player honors.
Blue Crabs slugger Cyle Hankerd was chosen to represent Liberty in the homer-off but was surprisingly unable to produce a shot over the fence during his chance, batting last in the deciding format, despite being the most dangerous hitter in the league up until the all-star break.
Hankerd, who leads the league in extra-base hits and doubles while is second in homers and RBIs and is third in average, hit a couple of deep balls in the homer-off toward his stadium's short left-field porch but none got over.
The all-star matchup ended at 12:21 a.m. Thursday morning.
Blue Crabs shortstop Renny Osuna, who started for Liberty, scored his side's only run while being the only Southern Maryland player to record a hit.
Blue Crabs pitchers Daryl Thompson and Jim Ed Warden each had scoreless stints. Thompson retired all six batters he faced in two innings with two strikeouts, while Warden allowed one hit while fanning a pair.

As Hamas Recklessly Launches Rockets Into Israel, How Does Israel Respond?
Melanie Phillips points out just how super duper mean Israel has been so far
Here is some information about the war between Gaza and Israel that for some unaccountable reason you may have missed today in Britain's mainstream media.
The casualty rate in Gaza from Israeli strikes is astoundingly low
Since the beginning of Israel's operation Pillar of Defence last Wednesday against Hamas rocket attacks, there have been more than 1000 Israeli air strikes. At time of writing, the Palestinian death toll is 69. That is a staggeringly small number of fatalities for more than 1000 bombing raids.
It shows beyond doubt that the Israelis are not only doing everything they can to avoid civilian casualties, but have achieved a degree of precision in doing so which no other army can match. For sure, every civilian casualty is regrettable, and the deaths of children are always tragic — today's apparently heavy toll particularly so, including at what appears to have been a mistaken target. Such mistakes inevitably happen in war.
Consider that most of those deaths can be laid on Hamas' doorstep, as they surround themselves and their weapons with human shields, yet, that is a low body count. All Israel wants is for these "Palestinian" terrorists, backed by Syria and Iran, among others, to stop targeting Israel. Hamas, for its part, is intentionally targeting civilian areas, yet, the media, and liberal, outcry is barely noticeable.
We also learn that the breathless reports by many media outlets about Israel having killed a child in Gaza was a load of mule fritters, typical Islamist fake propaganda. We look towards the Sunday Telegraph
But there were signs on Saturday that not all the Palestinian casualties have been the result of Israeli air strikes. The highly publicised death of four-year-old Mohammed Sadallah appeared to have been the result of a misfiring home-made rocket, not a bomb dropped by Israel.
Hamas to blame.
The child's death on Friday figured prominently in media coverage after Hisham Kandil, the Egyptian prime minister, was filmed lifting his dead body out of an ambulance. "The boy, the martyr, whose blood is still on my hands and clothes, is something that we cannot keep silent about," he said, before promising to defend the Palestinian people.
That's strange, it's almost like the Egyptian PM has gone Islamist, talking about martyrs. Who would have thought Egypt would end up with extremists in government?
But, we all know that Liberals around the world will take the side of the Islamic extremists in Gaza. Why? They hate Israel. Doesn't matter that the Islamic extremists stand against everything that Liberals do….well, they do both want fascist government and shut down opposing viewpoints, but, otherwise, disagree on every social issue…..and Israel is closer on social issues: liberals loathe Israel, and would like to see the country wiped off the map.

Gallery: C.F. Møller's Solar-Powered Wood Skyscraper Wins HSB Stockholm...
One of the first things that comes to mind when someone mentions a wood skyscraper is the risk of fire, but the architects maintain that wood is more fire-safe than other common building materials. "Wood is also more fire resistant than both steel and concrete," they explain. "This is due to 15% of wood mass being water, which will evaporate before the wood actually burns. In addition, logs get charred which protects the core." Over at TreeHugger, Lloyd Alter punctures that assertion a bit, suggesting that calling wood more fire resistant that concrete is a stretch.
Architects have taken an interest in building tall buildings from wood because it is a lightweight, renewable material that can bear heavy loads in relation to its weight. In C.F. Møller's tower, the pillars and beams will be made from solid wood, and the interior walls, ceilings and window frames will all be made of wood also, making the interiors feel more like a cabin than apartments in a traditional high-rise. Each apartment will also feature a glass-covered veranda. And the roof of the building, which is cut away in a diamond shape, will be covered in solar panels.

When we watch forests go up in smoke as a forest fire rages, an assertion that wood used in an architectural structure is more fire-resistant than concrete and steel just doesn't 'hold water'…

It's acutely apparent that the entrants that created this 'winning entry' have no knowledge of dendrology, yet didn't bother to consult experts in the field. It's equally apparent they have no understanding of ecology, because if they did, they wouldn't stick trees on the top of a skyscraper. However, the most critical – indeed damning fault with this architectural proposal is the fact it shows no understanding whatsoever of wind engineering – nor basic, elementary level physics. Consequently, the positioning of the trees is not only utterly impractical, both from an ecological, and from a maintenance perspective, but could also pose a serious threat to human life – in layman's terms, the wind speeds at that height are higher, therein in a storm scenario the trees would be likely to blown off and fall to the ground, crushing anything and anyone below – not least because the root system ought be at least a 1/3 of the overall height of the tree in order that a tree's stability is maintained, which is clearly not accounted for in this design. The fact this entry, reached the final selection – let alone won the competition raises questions about the architecture competition's validity as a benchmark of excellence.

Svindal and Cuche keep the HEAD Victory roll going with 1 – 2 in the Lake Louise Super G.
After the victory in the Giant Slalom for Ted Ligety in Soelden and in the Lake Louise Downhill for Didier Cuche, Aksel Lund Svindal made it three from three for the HEAD World Cup Rebels by winning the Super G in Lake Louise. It was so nearly a double win for Cuche but Svindal, who had been a little disappointed with his Downhill result on the Saturday, "definitely got one today" in referring to needing to put in a good fast run to beat his HEAD teammate, Cuche. Despite the adverse weather conditions, Svindal was just under a quarter of a second ahead of Cuche with Adrien Theaux in third almost three quarters of a second back.
The topic of the course setting was generating a lot of discussion as there were nine gates more than last year before the start had to be lowered due to the high winds at the top. "I really liked it; he (Ante Kostelic, the course setter) can set every Super G like that. It was a technical Super G, it was turny and the speed was not so fast. It was really nice because he had some change between going a little bit faster and than again, turny. It was a course where you had to think more than in the past races in Lake Louise," Cuche commented on the course setting.
Cuche came down into the finish and took the lead in superlative form. While he was one of the first of the top seeds, other racers, including Svindal still had to try and improve on their performances from the day before in the Downhill.
"I was a bit disappointed about yesterday; I was not able to carry the speed all the way down. So today it was a whole lot better," Svindal said. This was Svindal's sixth World Cup Super G win and third in Lake Louise.
While Svindal and Cuche made the top two spots, young Austrian Matthias Mayer placed 8 (a career best result so far in the World Cup), Bode Miller 9 and Johan Clarey came down from 61 to place ten! Five HEAD Rebels in the top ten! Bernhard Graf also posted a career best World Cup result in coming in 19th and Canadian Benjamin Thomsen came from 64 to score his first world cup points.

Traditional Welsh foods
What are the traditional foods of Wales?
Unlike England where a number of culinary traditions filtered down from the upper levels of society, the traditional dishes of Wales literally grew from the land.
Reports from 1896 show that farmers and tenants survived on home-cured meat of domestic animals, home grown vegetables, dairy products and cereal-based dishes. Farmers and cottagers would fatten and slaughter at least one pig a year to provide a constant supply of salted bacon. On larger farms, a bullock or cow was killed and the meat shared between neighbouring farms.
Meat and Vegetables
Cattle provided milk to produce butter and cheese, and vegetables such as leeks, carrots, cabbages, herbs and, from the 18th century onwards, potatoes were grown. Wild fruits, plants, animals and birds were used when in season. Communities living close to coastal regions were able to vary their diet by collecting shellfish and seaweed to make laverbread.
The harsh landscape meant that oats and barley were the most common cereal crops, with wheat confined to the fertile lowlands. Oatmeal was one of the basic elements in the diet of the Welsh. Among the everyday foods served in most rural districts until the early 20th century were Llymru (flummery) and sucan (sowans), consisting of oatmeal steeped in cold water and buttermilk, boiled until thickened and served cool with milk or treacle, bwdram (thin flummery), uwd (porridge) and griwel blawd ceirch (oatmeal gruel).
Oat-bread was the most common bread to be eaten in Wales until the late 19th century. It was used in north Wales as a basic ingredient in cereal pottages such as picws mali (shot) or siot (shot); a popular light meal consisting of crushed oat-bread soaked in buttermilk. Br?es (brose) was a common dish in the agricultural areas of the north and was regularly prepared as a breakfast dish for the men-servants. It was made from crushed oat-bread steeped in meat stock and sprinkled with crushed oat-bread before serving.
Welsh rural society was largely self-supporting with the exception of sugar, salt, tea, rice and currants, which had to be purchased. Very little fresh fruit was bought and eggs were only eaten on very rare occasions.
The open hearth
The open fire was central to cooking throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, and in many rural homes well into the 20th century. Such limited cooking facilities also governed what could be prepared. Stews, joints of meat and puddings were boiled in a cooking pot or cauldron.
Pot ovens were used for roasting meat and baking cakes. Bakestones were widely used to bake oatcakes, drop scones, soda bread, pancakes and griddlecakes (such as Welsh Cakes).
Although the tradition of living off the land survived until a later period in the rural areas, change came with improved roads and modern shopping facilities, not to mention the arrival of fridges and home freezers. Today, the majority of these dishes are mostly eaten on special occasions as 'traditional food'.

Dutch Oven
A small tinplate screen, found in the industrial communities of both north and south Wales. Small pieces of meat were suspended from the hooks inside the curved, reflecting hood and the whole oven would sit on a trivet (an iron bracket) in front of the fire. It was also possible to bake tea-time favourites such as round cakes, or teisen lap in the shallow drip-tray.

Hurray for the Riff Raff is an American country/folk band from New Orleans, Louisiana. Alynda Lee Segarra is Hurray for the Riff Raff''s creative force, as she writes and sings all of the band''s songs. Alynda ran away from her home in the Bronx, aged 17 and then spent time crossing North America, hopping freight trains. During this time, she became a part of The Dead Man Street Orchestra, who were documented in a photo essay by Time Magazine in 2007. After two self-released albums (2008s It Don''t Mean I Don''t Love You and 2010s Young Blood Blues), the band released a self-titled CD composed of Alynda''s favorite songs from those records on Loose Music in Europe on March 21, 2011. Tracks from the band''s debut release have received airplay on BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music. In February 2011, the band were featured in an article in The Times, based around the HBO TV series, Treme, with their track "Daniella" being listed in their selection of New Orleans'' essential songs.
