Cheesy Mini Burgers
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 15 mins
I love these cute little bite-sized burgers. They are excellent for parties, and football gatherings and always go down a storm with the men folk! Great for children's parties too! These can be prepared up to a day before hand, then assembled and grilled.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 6 slices bread
- 60 g melted butter
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1⁄3 cup grated cheese
Meat Patties
- 250 g minced beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon French mustard
- 1⁄2 teaspoon tomato sauce
- 1⁄2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon oil
- For the patties:.
- Combine mince,onion,mustard and sauces in a bowl.
- Take two teaspoonfuls and shape into a ball, and then flatten slightly to form a patty. Repeat with all of the mixture.
- Cut 4 1/2 cm rounds from each slice of bread, 4 out of each slice. Brush with melted butter and bake in a moderate oven for approx 15 minutes, until lightly browned and crisp.
- Spread each round with tomato paste.
- Heat oil in a large fry pan. Cook patties until well browned; drain on kitchen towel.
- Place patties on top of the bread rounds and top with cheese.
- Grill until the cheese has melted.

last night i had a "burger" night, made these and another burger (i wanted mini and a carnivore wanted a big double burger lmao)absolutely great. Served them on soft "brown and serve" buns..they stay wonderfully squishy when you don't brown them.
I'm rating this a 5 star because of my so called error. I used a nice sourdough roll clusters for the bread. ?anyway? every one thought that it was a bit too bready. Don't do that. :) We really enjoyed the meat mixture and the overall thought of the recipe. I made it for our appetizer night. :) I did replace the tomato paste (on top of the bread) with a homemade BBQ sauce Ruby's BBQ Sauce very tasty indeed. Thanks for posting. :)
My family thought these were so cute but thought the burgers were "missing something". I topped ours with american cheese and used ketchup instead of tomato paste.

Comment from: mika, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: February 13
I feel all symptoms of angina; severe chest pain, stiff neck, shortness of breath, headache, numbness of half body including brain, loss of appetite, stomach ache, and getting tired easily.
Comment from: judi, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: October 07
My first angina attack was thought to be a heart attack. I had all the symptoms, pain in left arm under arm pit, felt like a ton of bricks on my chest and pain up my neck and into my jaw. Then I rested for about 10 minutes and it all stopped. Blood pressure was high. I went into the hospital had a Lexiscan done. There were no clogged arteries, one very small vein had a little blockage but it wasn't totally blocked. I don't understand it all yet. Now they want me to take beta blockers, I'm not sure I want to take these yet. I want to know more first.
Comment from: Mand, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 08
I don't know if it is angina but I have heavy pain in my right arm constantly with weakness. I also have heavy pain and weakness in right leg. My general physician doesn't seem concerned! It feels like it's burning inside yet my hands and feet are constantly ice cold, I'm at my wits' end.
Comment from: Pwinters, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: March 03
When I go from rest to any activity including walking, I get pains all over the upper part of my body, more like pressure. I have 5 stents and two coils in my legs. I also lived through an abdominal aorta repair, a triple AAA (abdominal aortic aneurysm). I spent 17 days in the ICU; just happy to be here. I am not too sure what time I have left, but now I'm going to gym all the time and eating better. Good luck to me!
Comment from: Diane, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: January 14
I have a history of a subarachnoid brain aneurysm bursting 10 years ago, then a larger aneurysm on my brain stem was found after a craniotomy, they couldn't clip the larger one. Since then, I have had 2 stents put in the basilar one. The initial one has many coils in it, and neither is looking odd at the moment. I am suffering from excruciating pain in my right arm, neck, back and chest. I have been to the emergency room, and then sent home. I have more scans scheduled but am concerned about these symptoms being angina.
Comment from: lllaro, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: December 13
I have burning sensation when starting to walk, which lessens the more I walk.
Comment from: francis, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: November 21
I used to have some chest pain and a very little vomiting. I also produce a lot of gas through the mouth especially after eating.
Comment from: AD, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: May 08
I am having all the symptoms mentioned in the articles discussing low blood pressure. I'm not sure which medications I should take to relieve this heaviness and my breathing problem.

Skip to comments.Putin: I envy Obama, because he can 'spy' and get away with it
Posted on 12/19/2013 10:48:20 AM PST by kronos77
"I envy Obama because he can spy on his allies without any consequences," said Putin when asked about how his relations had changed with the US following Snowdens espionage revelations.
During an annual question-and-answer session with journalists, Putin praised Edward Snowdens actions, saying that he was working for a noble cause. At the same time he accepted the importance of espionage programs in the fight against global terrorism, but said the NSA needed guidelines to limit its powers.
There is nothing to be upset about and nothing to be proud of, spying has always been and is one of the oldest professions, said Putin.
Referring to the vast amounts of metadata gathered on citizens by the NSA, Putin said it is impossible to sift through all of that information. It is useless to look at the analysis of spy agencies because it is the opinion of analysts and not facts and as such can be misleading.
You need to know the people who analyze them, I know, I did it, said Putin, harking back to his career as a KGB agent.
The Russian president described Snowden as a curious character and said it was not clear why the former CIA contractor had decided to blow the whistle on the NSAs international espionage program at such a young age.
Russia is not working with Snowden and has not received classified documents from him, Putin said. The whistleblower has been allowed to reside in Russia but only on the condition he does not engage in anti-American propaganda.
(Excerpt) Read more at rt.com ...
Hasn't gotten out of the KGB mindset, I see. Mr. Putin, you can spy on people . . . you just can't give them the polonium-treatment.
When a "former" communist strongman who was a career KGB officer says you're more of a dictator than he is, what does that tell us? WAKE UP, SHEEPLES!!
I beg to differ with you. He radiates good will, as it were, compared to BHO.
This says more about us than Obama.
Putin is shocked that Americans, the great liberators, would have allowed it.
Putin is right on. I agree.
I'm liking Vlad more every day.
That Putin would say such a thing and have grounds to be completely sincere is both amusing and terrifying to most (thinking) Americans.
Am sensing a putin lie.
Well Vlad, now you know what he meant by having "more flexibility" after the election. Then, he had to endure some scrutiny; now he can do whatever he wants to.
Internet venting diffuses our outrage to do anything.
Our parents would have handled this by now already.
We type about it, instead.
Why would anyone believe what this KGB operative says? Believe the opposite.
Guess that is why dhs continues to deplete the shelves of ammo.
That implies that the NSA is going to sift the data rather than go directly after enemies of the state like tea partiers, right wing talk show hosts and opposition politicians.
As I posted on another thread. I don't know what is more disconcerting: fat women fainting at Obama rallies, or FReepers fainting on Putin threads.
Hey, Putie, don't envy him.
You may be an old-style KGB guy at heart, but you are a MANLY old-style KGB guy, unlike the stylized wimp in the White House.
Sense a really good chance putin is covering for zer0 and his crowd while putin licks his chops at the feast placed before him ... thanks to zer0 and his crowd. Snowden is starting to look like a pawn which was being thought of prior. Hey putin ... bet you have a lot of misinformation and zer0 tried to shaft you. Bend over putin! zer0 thinks you are reggie.
Smelling an end run. putin thinks Snowden was right up the middle.
Who would you put your trust in? Putin or Obama? Which do you think would rescue you from a burning building. Which would you rather walk down a dark street with? If you only had those two to leave your kids with, which one? Silly questions, perhaps, but I'm going with Putin and you can go with Obama.
I blame a general ignorance of Russia, and Russian politics.
I'll go with Netanyahu, thank you very much.
My apology 1rudeboy.
Churchill's words are just as true today, as they were back then....
"I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest."
I am not daring anyone to be foolish, but hand and long guns are as good as forks in this new tech climate.
Especially when we can stay content to peck out our troubles on the internet.
Hell, Republicans and conservatives alike can't even bring themselves to jerk their own children out of public schools. LOL! Sports, don'tcha know, and all that.
The wellspring crushing the USA for two generations at least, is the public school.
Obama politics is better?
May or may not be absolute. I for one never count out Americans because they are me and mine and yours.
Give it up ... don't make many of US angry.
Let's face it . . . we are stuck with Obama. That doesn't mean we need to admire someone who Obama aspires to be.
Fair warning ...
5 and 10, up thread, is the the Putin message, in spades.
The people are ripe now, for more coming if we can not stop even the outrageous.
5 and 10, up thread, is the the Putin message, in spades.
The people are ripe now, for more coming if we can not stop even the outrageous.
neither, pronoun
not the one and not the other of two people or things
They WERE Americans. Now we live off their reputations and the history of our forefathers and our elders, but WE are doing basically nothing but filling chat rooms.
We are diffused. Putin has noticed it.
So have I.
Dear Mr. Putin :
Obama can do anything and get away with it.
He supplied guns to Mexican cartels. He sent guns to anti-Christian rebel Al Qaeda.
He took the sanctions off Iran
He is taking a 2 week vacation in Hawaii while the rest of us get screwed by Obamacare.
He homosexualized our Military.
He has killed more soldier in Afghanistan than ever got killed in Iran, and the media no longer keeps score like they did for Bush.
Now his suck butts Ryan and Murray are going to phuck over our retired soldiers retirement benefits. Right here at Christmas too.
NO ... sorry Rita ... NOT TRUE!!! Guess again.
Some among us are so desperate about their patriotism that they must say to themselves that Putin is worse than Obama. I don't know that any country's leader could be worse. Worse for their own country. Read Daniel Henninger in today's WSJ.
Name one.
Still Love Ice Cream.
People are foolish to EVER believe ANYTHING he says.
Russia has not received classified info from Snowden? Riiiiiiight.
As my grandmother used to say, pound on the table, and the scissors will speak back. (That was when scissors were all metal, not this recent plastic handle crap.)
At best putin has a guess ... and only a guess.
And as my father would've said, don't say anything unless you have the balls to say everything.
Of course, Putin is all you say.
You can miss the point of what he said, if you wish. Even when Putin has lumbered into the truth you are welcome to miss the point.
The point:
"....that he (Obama) was allowed to."
I certainly hope you are right, and that the people might have more than forks. Technology has made traditional defenses quite obsolete.
We are left over run, with only a ballot.
Never count US out Rita! {{HUGS}}
What a dictator! What a guy!
Yes, yes. Smooches all around. %./
Thanks Rita.
I don't know what you're talking about now, but it is not anywhere near the point I was making ....once again. Nor even the point Putin was making.
Buh bye.

Spring Rising Stars Concert: A Spotlight On Award-Winning StudentsJune 3rd, 2016
Announcing Summer Camps 2016March 4th, 2016
Exploring Romanticism: August 1-5
Click Here for NBS Summer Camp Registration Form and Pricing Information
Monday, August 1st through Friday, August 5th.
Camp Description:
The Romantic era was an exciting time in musical history. Composers produced music that was full of feeling and individuality. The poet William Wordsworth described writing of the era as poetry that should begin as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" and the composer and great symphonist, Gustav Mahler said of the music: "if a composer could say what he had to say in words, he would not compose music." This 5 day music camp explores romantic music, literature, and art. Students ages 8 through 16 (split into two age groups, 8-11 and 12-16) will investigate the Romantic era by playing solo and chamber music, learning about art through hands-on projects, reviewing romantic era literature, and asking the same questions about music-making that Romantic era musicians asked: How does the music move me? How do I express my feelings through the composition and expand upon compositional forms? How is music similar to or different from other artistic disciplines?
In each class, students will learn about the colorful history surrounding Romantic era life. The vivacious fire of the French Revolution –the development of the individual and breakdown of the preexisting socioeconomic hierarchical structures. The beginning of the industrial era. The glorification of nature, the absurd, beautiful and sad. The exploration of the emotions of glory, majesty, apprehension, fright, and awe. Students will learn to identify how each composer, artist, and writers expressed their individual feelings and thoughts.
By the end of the camp students will ask themselves how knowledge of the romantic era ideas can help them as performers and artists. Students will be able to play the music of Brahms, Chopin, Liszt, Schubert and Schumann with a new sense of historical context, to more fully understand what emotional and individualistic ideas shaped their compositions, and in turn share that with audiences. Prior to camp, age and level appropriate pieces will be assigned for each individual student, following an audition with the director. Students will see international movies and documentaries during lunch, learn to dance a Mazurka and Polonaise, analyze poems by Lord Byron, Sir William Blake and George Sand, learn excerpts from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, draw in the style of Delacroix and Goya. Chamber Music is assigned one month in advance based on audition.

Nelly Berman Memorial Gala Concert to be held Sunday, October 16th, 2016February 29th, 2016
Nelly Berman, founder and director of the Nelly Berman School of Music on the Mainline, is no longer with us. On Sunday, October 16th, 2016 at 3:00 PM, students, faculty, alumni and international guest musicians will come together to honor this great lady in a memorial gala concert.
Mrs. Berman came to America from Odessa 39 years ago, carrying musical scores and a few belongings in three cardboard suitcases, with only $17 in her pocket. Her dream was to teach music to talented children here. She accomplished this dream with the Nelly Berman School of Music, which she established in 1983 with seven students, and has now grown to 400 students. At her school, she set a new level of high standards for American music students to work hard and dedicate themselves to classical music. She believed that young people who overcome technical difficulties and learn to persevere and work through frustration achieve the most in life — and so it was. One after another, the Nelly Berman School of Music students have succeeded in many different spheres of life: as investment bankers on Wall Street, as medical researchers at Harvard, as eye surgeons, opera composers and music professionals.
"There is no song, once sung, made still forever:" Nelly has made music sing with a full voice and her achievements still resound in the halls of the Nelly Berman School of Music. Sounds of piano, voice, strings, winds, and brass sing to her in testimony of her contribution to classical music in Philadelphia. For gifted and hardworking students to achieve their full potential, Nelly believed that they needed two or more lessons a week, as was common practice in Russia. Realizing that having two lessons a week was not financially possible for all families, Nelly created a merit based scholarship program which has supported hundreds of talented children. We invite you to make a tax-deductible donation to the Nelly Berman Scholarship Fund, the NBSCMI a 501 (c) (3) that supports extraordinarily gifted and hard-working students in a serious, well rounded music curriculum, so that "Nelly's song will be sung forever."
We hope you can join us in commemorating Nelly and paying respects to one of the most influential music educators in Philadelphia.

Secrets of Comedy... Revealed!
I like to think that I'm somewhat good at writing, because on semi-regular occasions I have received cash payments for my services. It's almost like how garbagemen are hired based on how far they can throw bags of human waste; someone obviously thought that I had a skill which others lacked. I tend to leave the human waste hurling to trained professionals, or for special occasions like birthday parties of people I don't like, but I do know a little about being funny that I will share with the 2% of you who chose to read The Daily Dirt.
How to be funny:
Watch the following:
Avoid the following:
Yes, there are books you should read and avoid, but you've obviously discovered the internet, making books irrelevant! From here on, you just need to follow my advice for about ten years, all while spending an appalling amount of time alone. You may develop severe emotional problems and chemical dependencies, and also grow to hate everything that surrounds you, but at least you can say "I am a writer for the Internet" before the orderlies notice that you chewed through your restraints again. And whether you're being held down while sedatives are injected into your arm, or finishing another bottle of Uncle Daddy's Feelgood Juice on your own time, you can thank me for helping you make it that far. Thanks, me!
Next Time, on THE DIRT
In the next exciting episode of The Daily Dirt, I will be giving advice on pets, relationships, and pet relationships, even if no one sends in questions! But please send in questions so I don't look like a dummy! Just e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, and you may find yourself part of the next marginally exciting installment of... THE DIRT!
TOTAL WRECK - crazy-eyed hound is covered in cobwebs, has a vespiary on back, graffiti on side and savage thirst for boat fuel. Frankly, I'm in over my head. He's in room 115 at Motel 6, yours free. 555-2851
Yes, it's the perfect form for surviving a car crash. But it's also the perfect form for so much more, like surviving the trauma of reading any news headline in 2016.
Hillary Clinton has a new book! Here are some photo-shops of her, for you to enjoy.
Thirty games and a novel piece of hardware for sixty dollars? This is an insult to my honor.
Selling objects to the past, lighters, weed, etc. Pretty intriguing stuff.
The Daily Dirt serves as a column for all Something Awful frontpage writers to write about, well, whatever they feel like putting into the Daily Dirt!

This was our 2nd trip to Arrowwood in the last 2 yrs. Both times we got the kids room which happened to be the same room both times. The room itself is great, nice space and decor but they still had not replaced the broken microwave and this time the room would not cool down even though we had the air turned all the way up.
The water park was OK for a 1st trip, but as a 2nd time around pretty lame. Plus the park is really showing it's age w/ dirty and chipped paint pretty gross if you ask me. The whole park needs a major overhaul from decor, to better water fun activities, to more seating(if you found a table you had to make sure someone was always at it or people would steel it), better food &drink choices at the concession stand, larger towels( their towels are not meant for grown ups at all, so bring your own beach towels we learned that the hard way!) and the arcade is really lame as well as small. The one positive about the place is the structure itself, great vaulted wood paneled ceiling with sky lights and a wall of windows(very drafty) that looks out towards the lake.
Another huge disappointment was the quality of the food for the expensive prices we had to pay, they have changed their menu from last year and for the good. Hardly any healthy choices for either kids or adults. We tried room service for lunch one of the days we were there, it took forever to get there and the hot food was barely warm and they forgot our silverware, plus the side salad if you could call a plate of wilted lettuce with 1 g!rape tomato, 1 almost rotten cucumber slice & 2 baby carrots a salad. I understand we didn't have to eat all of our meals there, but we didn't feel like we should have to drive 20miles round trip to get a good meal and we were there on a mini vacation to enjoy what the resort had to offer. So pretty much a bad choice on our part.
I doubt we will go back for that kind of trip again, unless they make some major improvements to the park and overall food quality and choices. Which is really too bad because its a beautiful location.

Residency programs
Our cultural residency program has been running since 2013 under the theme, Connecting Creativity, and during that time has received, writers, activists, playwrights, curators, performers, artists, dancers, photographers and illustrators. We have welcomed people from, Sweden, France, Bangladesh, England, Georgia, America, Italy, Canada, Scotland, Turkey, India, Portugal, Hungary, Argentina, Germany, Wales, Poland, Mexico, Japan, Belgium, Hong Kong, Syria and Ireland.
Our residency programs are:
Connections AiR, (January to December)
is a space designed to facilitate experimentation and the freedom to create through research and concept development. Many of the residents describe it as a creative sanctuary.
Artists that have been working, researching and producing at one of the open call residencies or artists who are invited have the opportunity to come to work on individual projects or create their own residency with others.
The residency is not taking place within a particular industry, organisation or building. Rather it is taking place in a typical Swedish small town situation providing for inter cultural dialogue and the ability to interpret the global through the local.
AiR Turkey – Scandinavia Connections 2016 (17 Oct to 15 Nov) is open to all forms of contemporary art practices. Kultivera is now providing residency opportunities for 4 contemporary artists and curators from Turkey and Scandinavia. The residency which is set in the context of a typical small Swedish town, allows primarily two things, time and space. Here artists and curators can develop their practice, exchange and explore ideas and expand their networks.
Applications are open to contemporary artists and curators from Scandinavia and Turkey. The residency offers a valuable support structure for emerging and mid career artists and curators, and brings socially and critically engaging contemporary work to the local community.
Dance Ignition Lab (November) which is a research residency model that aims to support new cross-disciplinary working methods, with a focus on dance development. It is about responding, innovating and creating new contexts for artistic production.
Dance Ignition Lab provides an opportunity for the participants to develop new ideas for international collaborative projects and build on their collective skills and experience to find new working models.
Coracle Europe Literary Residency 2016 19 august – 11 September, is the third annual residency hosted by Litteraturcentrum Tranås in association with Write4word and Wexford Arts Centre as part of the Coracle Europe partnership.
Responsibility and Flippancy. 2016 sees a quarter of a millennium since Sweden became the first country in the world to write freedom of the press into its constitution. Freedom of the press, one of the four fundamental laws governing the constitution, is based on freedom of expression and speech – a central tenet of most democracies.
A small group of writers from across Europe and beyond will gather in the spirit of these themes to consider, collaborate and create within the curatorship of Dominic Williams from University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
ScreenDance residency The ScreenDance residency consists of a two week residency for the winner of the Swedish Screendance Festival. The winner shall get the opertunity to continue developing in dance and film.
What is a residency?
They provide a time of reflection, research, presentation and/or production. They also allow an individual to explore his/her practice within another community; meeting new people, using new materials, experiencing life in a new location. Art residencies emphasize the importance of meaningful and multi-layered cultural exchange and immersion into another culture.
Sometimes residents become quite involved in a community – giving presentations, workshops, or collaborating with local residents. At other times, they are quite secluded, with ample time to focus and investigate their own practice.
Many times a residency experience is only the beginning of a longer relationship. Residents often return to complete a project they started, to begin a new collaboration, or participate in an exhibition, panel or workshop.

Women's Health Week PSA0
This is National Women's Health Week, an annual observance led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health. The goal is to empower women to make their health a priority and help women understand what steps they can take to improve their health.
Beery Media continues its relationship with The American Sexual Health Association, ASHA, by producing the latest Women's Health Public Service Announcement. The filming went seamlessly with a wonderful cast and crew in front and behind the camera. The result is an effective, informative short that offers help and guidance.
The PSA stars Dorothy Brown and is voiced by Elisabeth Lewis Corley.
Visit ASHA's website today. They are the resource for sexual health information.
Full Frame 20150
Beery Media was once again honored to be a part of the 2015 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. This is the best Documentary film festival in the world. Powerful, moving, and charming Documentaries were screened over four days in spring in Durham, NC.
Special Thanks to Deirdre Haj and the staff at Full Frame for bringing such an important festival, films, and their filmmakers to our front yard each year.
This short film is what we saw and heard during the fest.
My Dumb Face!0
Beery Media is embarking on a new production.
Now in pre-production, My Dumb Face is the new short film written by screenwriter Paul Sapp. Based on a story by award winning filmmaker Nic Beery, MDF is the powerful and emotional story of Aly, a thirty something woman who is a mental genius, sarcastic as hell, and an emotional mess.
Synopsis – It's the crappiest night of ALY's life. Mid-30s, her life lacking direction, she's been all but abandoned by her mother for a psychotic step-dad—the same step-dad who left her stranded at a rural roadside bar. But when death metal promoter MARCUS steps up as her unlikely savior, the ensuing road trip leads ALY to a personal crossroads: Does she take a path of emotional retreat, or dare to fight for what matters?
We are not only in pre-production, seeking cast and crew via auditions, and discussions with the triangle's best camera, sound, and lighting folks, we have begun our fundraising campaign. No kickstarter, no Indie-go-go, we have decided to build community, interest, and excitement by kicking it old school.
Yep, we are asking you do donate a single dollar bill. We are raising ten thousand dollars for this film. So we need 10,000 envelopes from supporters like you! Please mail a buck to us at Beery Media, 209 Lloyd St., Ste. 340, Carrboro, NC 27510. Write your email and name on the back so we can keep in touch with you.

The Town partnered with the Chapel Hill and Orange County Visitors Bureau, which funded the project and provided creative input; Beery Media of Carrboro on video production; and the Community Beat Making Lab at the Street Scene Teen Center, 179 E. Franklin St, on the music track. In the four-minute video, Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt and Carrboro Mayor Lydia Lavelle provide an overview of the community and welcome message to visitors.
About the video, judges stated: " Outstanding camera work and impressive variety of locations for such a short time with the mayor. The use of local music talent was a great touch, as was structuring the video to be used as a general visitor's video as well. Very well done! Inviting, informative, and effective. Your mayor has "star" quality and appeal and this video showcased that with great results. Exciting and engaging. High production value – loved the mayor's involvement in the project; great on-camera asset. Transitions were excellent. Great multi-use potential for promoting the Chapel Hill area."

Can growing bricks from bacteria and sand, like an oyster grows a pearl, really work? Better still, can it aid countries that have more sand than resources? Yes and yes. Thanks to bioMASON.
Richard Branson's Green Challenge has awarded bioMASON $500,000 euros to continue their research and work!
Beery Media is honored to have been a small part of this initiative and is ecstatic for Ginger Dosier and her bioMASON team. What a feeling to know Richard Branson viewed our work, and the video aided in making RTP start-up bioMASON the $500,000 euro winner.
bioMASON Inc. was formed in 2012 by Founder and CEO, Ginger Krieg Dosier.
bioMASON is a unique biotechnology start-up manufacturing company with a natural process that will revolutionize the building and construction industry. bioMASON employs natural microorganisms and chemical processes to manufacture biological cement-based masonry building materials.
AMSTERDAM, 16 September 2013 – Ginger Dosier of the United States has won the Postcode Lottery Green Challenge 2013. The jury, chaired by Richard Branson, awarded her €500,000 today at the final in Amsterdam to realise her green business plan. The jury chose Dosier for her company BioMason's CO2-free brick production process. BioMason uses bacteria to 'grow' bricks out of readily available materials such as sand. The bricks compare favourably with traditional fired clay ones, whose manufacturing releases copious greenhouse gas emissions.

Anthony Mundine isn't the only big fight on Danny Green's radar with revelations he's being sounded out to fight German southpaw Juergen Braehmer for his WBA light-heavyweight belt.
News of the interest in Green fighting for the crown in Germany emerged after Mundine's crushing defeat to American Charles Hatley in Melbourne on Wednesday night. The loss was a terrible body blow to their long-awaited rematch.

Anthony Mundine's future in doubt after loss

Green, 42, said his performance against Germany's Konni Konrad in Melbourne's on December 2 would determine whether there's any life left in the rematch before revealing discussions are taking place with Braehmer's camp.
"We've had offers from the Germans for Juergen Braehmer and also one of their cruiserweights," Green said. "There's other options, Mundine is definitely not the only fight for me.
"I'm lucky to have recognition overseas because having fought the likes of Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, Markus Beyer, Eric Lucas, Antonio Tarver, Roy Jones and BJ Flores means you're in the mix if an opportunity comes up.
"That's how we got the opportunity with Konrad. He fought Braehmer in September and I'll fight him, see how it goes and see what happens from there.
"Christian Meyer, [the general manager of the company that] promotes Juergen Braehmer, has spoken on numerous occasions to [trainer and advisor] Angelo Hyder about me fighting in Germany for the world title.
"I'm tempted. I'm performing well at training; feeling pretty good."
Sport: The week's best plays
The most exciting, silly and downright crazy plays in the sporting world this week.
Green said while the temptation to try to add another world title to the four he's already won was obvious, he stressed there was a lot to settle before committing to another gruelling campaign.
"It would be massive, it'd be a fairytale to win it," he said. "But, it's tough. It's tough because while my mind and body is 'there' it's just a question of whether my body could handle the stress and strain.
"I'm training smart and having put two preparations closely together [Green fought Argentina's WBC Latino light heavyweight champion Roberto Bolonti in August] has been beneficial to me.
"We knew the fights would be close together but we had such a long layoff I wanted to make sure I wasn't rusty. I'm happy in the gym, the sparring is going well."
Green must first focus on defeating Montenegrin-born Konrad, who is 12 years his junior and the former WBC youth world super middleweight champion and a one-time holder of the WBA International light heavyweight crown.
"He's very strong, he has a powerful 'claw' and lets his combinations go," said Green. "He's 30 years old, he's had 22 [wins] and two [losses] and his last fight was in September for a world title.
"Although that was a loss, he has that youthful vitality about him and from that world title shot he'll have learned a lot about preparation, nerves, the whole thing. He'll come to the big stage less overawed and he'll know if he defeats me it'll open a lot of doors to him."
Green conceded the pressure was on him to keep any hope of the Mundine fight alive.
"It's heaped pressure upon me to ensure I win," he said. "If I'm not victorious, I'm out and I've put myself in that corner because the Australian public were calling for the rematch with Mundine.
"I said 'let's do it' but now he's gone and potentially ruined that. It's up to me to keep it alive."

Health & Parenting
Unspoil Your Child
STEP 2: Set rules and consequences.
There is a slippery slope in parenting, where the initial "If you behave, I'll buy you a treat" turns into "Here, take this treat, and hopefully you'll behave." To wean your child off this demand-reward pattern, you'll have to set the new rules in stone. "Observe your child for a few days to notice when she is really being demanding and refusing to take no for an answer — whether it's with staying up past her bedtime, asking for new toys, or wanting candy," suggests Lisa Forman, a family counselor in Sleepy Hollow, NY. Let's say you recognize a pattern: Your daughter refuses to sit still at the dinner table unless she is promised her favorite dessert. The next step is to come up with a rule and a realistic consequence — such as taking away TV or computer privileges — for her behavior, keeping in mind your child's age and tolerance level. And make sure your partner's on board with the new plan; kids are experts at playing one parent off the other. Then, sit down and explain the rules to your child: "In our house, we get ice cream on Friday night if we have behaved at dinner all week. If there is whining for candy during dinner, you will lose the ice cream privilege." Ask your child to repeat it back to you to make sure she understands — or better yet, make a chart together that she can decorate with stickers each time she follows the rules.

Beyond ideas of Wrongdoing and Rightdoing…
there's a field…
where you and I can meet.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too complete to talk about.
"Ideas, language, and even the phrase 'each other' don't make any sense."
It was cold and dreary on the black dirt field when Robert Sturman came to town. The molten black earth was weepy, but never fully turned to mud. I told Robert that I was concerned about the amount of physical darkness we were working with and he replied with a perfect metaphor:
"There is a lot of darkness but it isn't the kind of darkness we need to resist or be frightened by. It's the beautiful kind of darkness that keeps the heart connected with the broken heart of the world."
So I must leave you with this mantra:
Fear not the tricky landscape of your giant heart.
There will always be darkness, and we are all here to heal and break and heal again.
Continue to seek the jewel in your Black Dirt, lotus heart.
Enjoy the Alchemy.
I love you.

Good stuff
hey, good advice... i have a few more questions. How do we see to it that vim always opens in a full window with a particular color scheme? and... how do we copy lines between two windows of vim. the "y" and "p" jig works well within a window, but doesn't seem work properly between windows...
thanks for the help...
For colors, add
For colors, add colors=darkblue to your .vimrc and that's it.
Lovely advice, thanks!

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide
