I admit to curiosity for the upcoming movie Judas Kiss. With a very gay theme, Timo Descamps, and adult star Brent Corrigan branching further into "legitimate" acting, I'd have to be dead to not care. Then Timo tweets photos like this, and I figure I can always watch it on mute if I need to.

Russell Tovey received the SFX Cult Hero Award this weekend at the SFX Awards. I'm guessing he came straight from the Being Human set, because George's wardrobe looks terribly out of place in this picture.
Russell can be my hero any time.
Miss Coco Peru sent out news that she was hard at work on set with Evie Harris, Varla, and the new Stevie (sorry, snicks, not that Stevie). I can't wait!

After days of allowing snicks to write my column, and his ceaseless promotion of the Evil Feline Agenda, including Cute Boys with Cats, I feel the need to counter with this hedgehog, and I'm going to presume his cute owner. Because the hedgehog is adorable, I'm sure it rubbed off on the owner.
I want a pet hedgehog.
We've had our own issues with certain websites lifting entire articles from us wholesale, with no credit. So when I was reading the renew/cancellation index over at TV By the Numbers, I was amused to see them taking action to slow down the same sites from just cutting and pasting their original content. I see that they've now removed it, but not before I got a screen shot.
We feel your pain.
Here's something from Glee we don't often see – the writers. Ian Brennan, Ryan Murphy, and Brad Falchuk, sitting in Mr. Schuester's office, courtesy of Brad's Twitter.
What is Ryan Murphy wearing?
This masterpiece I can't vouch for, but it seems likely. And as much as I truly dislike Katy Perry, they really didn't have to do that much work on her to get a cover shot.
But why isn't someone around to touch up my photos so I look good?
As long as we're talking about Katy Perry, she's about to tour with Robyn as her opening act. But time and time again when asked about Perry's music, Robyn has begged off answering. And I love her for it.
There's something stunning about this video of Iceland, as is succumbs to winter, yet has a volcanic eruption. It's beautiful, but I keep hearing a voice in my head going "I wonder what caused hell to freeze over, however briefly?"
I'm utterly amused by the owner of this strip club in Seattle taking the position that Seattle hates people who create jobs. It's such a weird juxtaposition of the right's pro-business stance being taken by something most of the right would call immoral. And honestly, if the front of the building isn't floor to ceiling windows, I'm not sure why it matters if it's across the street from a school.
I'm going to guess that Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras' "Say Something" campaign is something akin to our "It Gets Better" program. In any case, here's a message from out hunky singer Anthony Callea.
China's Sports Illustrated devoted an entire issue to out athletes, which is impressive for a country whose stance on gay rights is uneven (not unlike the U.S., but different). I wonder if the U.S. version will do the same? They should at least be able to manage a leaflet.
Somewhat similar to both "It Gets Better" and "Say Something" is the "Athlete Ally" program that wrestler Hudson Taylor is running, getting straight athletes to sign on as allies to create safe spaces for gay athletes. In this case, the video is from a gay crew member from Rutgers, vowing to create a welcoming space for other out athletes. And if I can just be a bit shallow here, he's adorable, and I love the sexy morning voice.
This isn't the newest video from the Red Bull Winch Series, but the visuals of Josh Tranby wakeboarding in a cranberry bog are just too beautiful to ignore.
On Tuesday's Glee, Santana gets confronted for being mean. And the truly meanest person in the glee club (Rachel) really lets her have it. But it's the end, that last line from Santana is what makes her my Spirit Animal. She gets me.
This mattress commercial for Swiss furniture company Pfister is hysterical. We're all entitled to our fantasies.
Katie Couric filmed a lot of her time on the set of Glee, and has slowly been posting it. She admitted that she had a favorite character in Kurt, and it shows when she meets Chris Colfer.
I have to admit, I thoroughly enjoyed the first 30 minutes of Saturday Night Live with Dana Carvey this week. It could be because all my favorites were back, the cast from 1986-1993, with skits like Wayne's World and Church Chat. I'm of the firm belief that other than the original cast, most people love the SNL of their high school/college years the best. And 86-93 were those years for me. One year of my high school yearbook was themed around Church Chat. So seeing the Church Lady take on the Kardashians, Snooki, and Justin Bieber was like heaven for me.
Family Feud continues to evolve with the times. And if you read me regularly, you know I'm not a fan of organized religion. So the order of these answers really amused me.
Bryan Safi was back as his alter ego of Brock-Cody Stewart Thomas to discuss the Super Bowl with a Maria Menouos clone. It's not my favorite bit from him, but even when I'm not on board, he's still pretty funny.

Dr Russett is so great. My son thinks he is the funniest guy alive, and really looks up to him. You are all great at Signature, and I love how you spend the extra time with the kids to make them comfortable, because braces can be scary!
Dr. Shawn Russett's response
The funniest guy alive? Well, we certainly do our best to ensure our patients have an enjoyable experience with us, and it appears the comedic bar has been raised now! Our sincerest thanks for taking the time to write a review for our team, and we will work on some new jokes for your next visit!

Daughter #2 has entered the queue for braces :-) She is looking forward to the experience, and I am confident in Dr. Russett's experience and professionalism, because my older daughter's teeth look amazing following her orthodontic experience at Signature.

I honestly cannot say enough good about Dr Russet! He has been helping my daughter through her orthodontic treatment since she was 6 (now 12), and my son since he was 8(now 14). I truly believe that his expertise has saved my daughter from needing jaw surgery. He worked in a proactive/preventative manor and I believe he spared her much pain both physical and emotional! My kids both love going there and have even said they will miss it once their done! The contests and rewards are fantastic as well, five stars all around!

One thing stands out when reading about Jane Fonda, who visited the Fort McMurray region this week. She seems, sometimes at least, to learn from her mistakes. Let's face it; in the world of superficial Hollywood activism populated by the likes of Leo DiCaprio and Daryl Hannah, self-awareness seems to shut down as soon as the director yells "cut."
The first electrons of power flowed across the seabed in Nova Scotia's Minas Basin recently delivering electricity to homes, from a giant instream tidal device. I want to be excited about it. Happy even. Instead, it's tainted by the dismissive attitude of Nova Scotia's government towards indigenous people and fishers, or really anyone in the province who raises concerns about the potential impact on their lives from these experiments.
Cities are more important than ever in efforts to address climate change. By 2050 global city populations are expected to almost double in size, but urban areas already account for nearly 75 per cent of total carbon emissions. Cities all around the planet have the opportunity to transition "from grey to green."
We're being left behind by other countries and economies while we chase an elusive ideal under some imaginary rainbow. It's time for our leaders to stand up and draw a line in the sand and stop enabling these fanatics, lest they achieve their ultimate goal of completely shutting down our economic engine.
The students did their own research, they invited resource experts to give presentations and then a delegation of 10 students locked themselves in a room for a weekend with some graduate students from the University of Alberta to boil inputs from 3,000 students down into a sophisticated set of recommendations for change.
On the roof of the Two Twenty building in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan are 90 solar modules comprising a 27.5 kilowatt solar system, the very first project built by the newly-formed SES Solar Co-operative. The co-op is an offshoot of the Saskatchewan Environmental Society (SES) that works on conservation, sustainability and yes, energy issues.
In 2015, the city of Summerside, Prince Edward Island, achieved the highest level of wind power integration in North America. While the province of P.E.I. is already a leader with 26 per cent of its electricity coming from wind power, the City of Summerside Electric Utility has ratcheted that up to an astonishing 46 per cent by adding a smart grid with energy storage.
We wait all year for long summer days filled with BBQs, pool parties, cottage weekends and food festivals. But these endless social events can have you overindulging in food and drink more than any other time of year. So how can you stay healthy over the summer? We asked our experts for their advice.
Pickering is already 15 years past its best before date. It's the fourth oldest nuclear station in North America and the seventh oldest nuclear station in the world. Given its age, it is not surprising that Pickering is one of the most unreliable and poorest performing nuclear plants in North America.
Details of the Ontario government's Climate Action Plan are out and the reviews are mixed. While the business sector will no doubt grumble about the cap-and-trade system in place to keep the province's climate program on track, it seems that the big losers will inevitably be people living in poverty.
When PEI's government crafted a plan to wean their grid off costly and carbon-intensive diesel, they turned to wind power, one renewable resource that the island has plenty of. A map of the wind potential of PEI glows red showing high potential for much of the island. As we write this 34 per cent of PEI's electricity is coming from the wind.
There are many uses for fossil fuels, including oil, where the alternatives are nowhere near as advanced as wind turbines, solar panels or electric cars. Stopping pipelines in Canada does not speed up the development of alternatives to oil. It doesn't slow growing oil demand in emerging economies, where most of the growth in energy demand will come from in the future.

hedotwo added a post in a topic AMT 62 Buick Electra 225I've used various chrome markers over the years and found that while they are a time saver and look very acceptable, they all had issues with "unexpected flow" .... always at the wrong time. Seems the tips would occasionally deposit more chrome than I was counting on. That said, I haven't tried this brand and I see they have very small tips available. I'm going to give them a try. I'm ok with foiling for the most part, but there are definitely times when a marker would be the ticket.
hedotwo added a post in a topic AMT 62 Buick Electra 225I could swear I see foil around the windshield, but believe you when you say you didn't use it. I've foiled this one and agree it can be a pain. Did you use Alclad or a chrome marker? Looks great whatever you used!
hedotwo added a post in a topic 66 ImpalaNice variation on a 66'!

hedotwo added a post in a topic 49' MercNo polish on the grille. The only chrome parts I stripped were the lake pipes, valve covers, and air cleaners. The remaining chrome pieces are courtesy of Revell. I used Spaz Stix to rechrome the stripped parts.
hedotwo added a post in a topic 49' MercThanks for your approvals (especially Harry's thumbs up... he's never afraid to point out stuff that was missed)! There are a number of "warts" on this build but overall I felt I did a good job also. During this build I did alot of Google Image research on custom mercs and decided to get the Carson-top resin merc from Jimmy Flintstone and give it a shot. I love the coving and roof on it....
hedotwo added a topic in Under Glass49' MercI'll begin by saying this was the first Revell 49' Merc I've built and I was extremely happy with the build of the kit. Everything fit great and the kit almost just fell together on its' own. The paint began with Tamiya gray primer followed by Createx Pearl Magenta, finished with a few coats of Krylon Crystal Clear. The Createx paints shoot beautifully with my Paasche VL at 40psi thinned a bit on the heavy side with their own reducer. I experimented with spoons with Tamiya primers, both gray and white, and also a spoon with Rustoleum Flat Black. The white primer made the paint almost pink, while the black gave it a really purple look (like one of the overhead attached photos... that pic turned out like that because of the lighting I think). The interior (what you can see of it) is both the pearl magenta and Createx Pearl White. The decals were lifted from a '59 Impala kit. Now that they're dry I'm not as crazy about them, but they aren't going anywhere now

hedotwo added a post in a topic Parts paintingWas wondering if anyone would catch that
hedotwo added a post in a topic In-line fuel filtersI ordered these.... "SUNKEE 100pcs 1N4148 IN4148 DO-35 switching signal Doide" from Amazon earlier this year. At the time they were like $5 or so for a 100 pack. Clipped the pic from Amazon... not the clearest tho.
hedotwo added a topic in Tips, Tricks, and TutorialsParts paintingI would often have trouble dealing with airbrushing (or rattle spray) smaller parts and then putting them down to paint additional parts. I found a couple of plastic tube-type containers that I cut off to about a 7-8" height and then filled them about halfway with plain ol' sand. I use long wooden skewers with alligator clips attached securely to hold the parts. Placing them in the sand is a snap, and the sand holds them really steady so they don't touch each other when you move the container. Another nice thing is that sand doesn't stick to the skewers when you remove them. The pix aren't the greatest, but you probably get the idea.

The Smithsonian Associates Presents "Steinbeck Onstage: The Grapes of Wrath at 75"
The Smithsonian Associates, in collaboration with the National Steinbeck Center, presents a discussion on how The Grapes of Wrath's powerful portraits of human perseverance in the face of injustice found their theatrical reflections, Thursday, April 24, at 7 p.m. in Baird Auditorium at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Elda Rotor, editorial director of Penguin Classics, will moderate a discussion with Steinbeck scholar Susan Shillinglaw; Frank Galati, the writer and director of the highly lauded stage adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath; actress Lois Smith, who created the role of Ma Joad at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater, where the production originated; and Michael Donald Edwards, artistic director of Florida's Asolo Repertory Theatre, who directs a production of the Galati play this spring.
April marks the 75th anniversary of the publication of The Grapes of Wrath, a novel that shook America's consciousness and sparked a national debate around issues of labor, social justice and migration. This year, the National Steinbeck Center honors the work's impact as a cultural catalyst by inviting readers to rediscover the novel and the writer who created this odyssey of Depression-era America—as well as the ways that this now-timeless story has reached beyond the page.
The Joad family's journey, fueled by dreams and desperation, has inspired retellings in several forms. In addition to John Ford's 1940 film adaption, in which Henry Fonda's iconic Tom Joad seemed to bring a Walker Evans photo to life, The Grapes of Wrath was adapted as an opera in 2007 by composer Ricky Ian Gordon.
The highly lauded stage version created by writer-director Galati for Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre in 1988 has been mounted by companies across the country ever since. When the Steppenwolf production came to Broadway in 1990—winning the Tony Award for Best Play—The New York Times called the show an "epic achievement for the director…[who] makes Steinbeck live for a new generation not by updating his book but by digging into its timeless heart." Excerpts from Galati's adaptation will be screened at the Smithsonian Associates' event. Several of Shillinglaw's Steinbeck-related books will be available for signing.
Ticket prices for the program are $25 for general admission and $20 for Associate members. For tickets and information, the public may call (202) 633-3030 or visit www.smithsonianassociates.org.
The Smithsonian Associates offers life-enriching, educational and cultural experiences inspired by the Smithsonian's exhibitions, collections and research. Each year The Smithsonian Associates creates and presents more than 750 individual programs that deliver exceptional opportunities for learning and growth. Programs range from lectures on a multitude of topics to the performing arts for audiences of all ages, in the Washington, D.C., area and across the country.

My understanding is AEG is doing business with the Oakland City Council & 1 of the conditions of being awarded the contract is AEG cant talk to Raiders front office about moving to L.A.

The article says, "The contract approved Monday by a 7-1 vote includes provisions that would severely limit AEG from wooing any team to a city within 50 miles of Oakland. But there is nothing to keep the company from luring the Warriors, Raiders or A's to a city outside that boundary..."

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease seen in premature infants requiring oxygen supplementation and ventilation. Although the use of exogenous surfactant and mild ventilation strategies has reduced mortality, infants who leave the hospital continue to exhibit reduced lung function even as adolescents. They are also more likely to develop asthma, be sensitive to second hand cigarette smoke, and be re-hospitalized when infected with respiratory viruses. Since these findings suggest BPD never fully repairs, there is an urgent need to understand how oxygen supplementation permanently disrupts lung development and how these changes enhance susceptibility to respiratory insults. To address this need, we developed a mouse model to understand how short-term oxygen exposure disrupts lung development and alters the response to influenza A virus infection, a common respiratory virus often encountered by age 2 in humans. Like children born prematurely, adult mice exposed to high oxygen (hyperoxia) as newborns had altered lung compliance that was attributed to increased alveolar simplification and disrupted epithelial cell differentiation. When infected with influenza A virus, these mice showed persistent inflammation, altered T cell responses, fibrosis, and increased mortality compared to infected mice that had been exposed to room air at birth. Because viral clearance was also delayed, we hypothesize that high oxygen supplementation to the developing lung increases susceptibility to infection by disrupting the host's ability to effectively clear respiratory viruses. Preliminary studies have identified three possible mechanisms by which changes in respiratory epithelial development could affect innate and adaptive immune responses to viral infection. While investigating these mechanisms in mice, viral clearance and ability to mobilize an appropriate immune response will be investigated in children born prematurely that received high oxygen supplementation. By integrating research findings in mice and humans, we hope to ultimately identify novel therapeutic opportunities for improving the health of children born prematurely.
/ RELEVANCE TO PUBLIC HEALTH Exposure of premature infants to high oxygen supplementation disrupts lung development, and is associated with long-term deficits in lung function and increased susceptibility to respiratory infections. By integrating research findings obtained from influenza virus infected adult mice exposed to neonatal hyperoxia with immune responses in infected children born prematurely, we hope to ultimately identify novel therapeutic opportunities for improving the health of children born prematurely.

CST - Computer Simulation Technology AG
3D feld simulation
Darmstadt, Germany, March 27th, 2014, Computer Simulation Technology (CST) announces the release of the 2014 version of the electromagnetic simulation tool, CST STUDIO SUITE®. The latest edition has been developed to improve the performance of the solvers and increase the capabilities for hybrid simulation without compromising on usability.
CST STUDIO SUITE comprises a range of electromagnetic simulation tools for high frequency, low frequency, charged particle and multiphysics applications, which are all available within a single graphical user interface. The tool is used by engineers and researchers around the world to design, simulate and optimize EM systems.
Improving meshing was a major focus during the development of CST STUDIO SUITE 2014, in order to make the mesh engines more efficient, more robust and more user-friendly. Both the hexahedral and tetrahedral mesh have been improved to reduce the cell count and help to discretize complex or low-quality CAD data.
The simulation of complex systems has also been improved. Field source coupling and multiphysics simulations can be set up automatically using the new System Assembly and Modeling (SAM) wizards. SAM allows different solvers to be combined in a single simulation project and can be used to model complex systems one component at a time.
CST STUDIO SUITE fits into a wide range of CAD and EDA workflows through its import and export tools. These have been upgraded to support more file types and offer greater control of model quality. In addition, the 2014 release introduces version control. Imported CAD files can now be monitored by the software, with changes to the external data automatically reflected in the simulation model.
Alongside these major changes, numerous smaller improvements have been made to both the front-end and back-end of the software in order to make modeling, simulation and results processing faster and more straightforward.
"CST STUDIO SUITE 2014 represents a significant step in the development of our EM simulation tools," said Bernhard Wagner, Managing Director, CST AG. "We have improved both the power and versatility of our solvers, and we hope that these new features help engineers and researchers in their daily work."
Shipping of CST STUDIO SUITE 2014 to existing users is expected to be completed by mid-April 2014.
Highlights of CST STUDIO SUITE 2014
o Improved CAD export
o Version control for CAD data
o Sub-volume field monitors
o Automated set-up of multiphysics SAM processes
o Improved results plotting
Transient solver
o Improved hexahedral meshing
o Time-averaged power loss monitor
o Combined CPU-GPU computing

Coral Point is absolutely stunning
this year, I thought it waas good when it arrived but now it has settled in
it's beards are even bigger and fuzzier and the colour is richer. Looks even
better than the photo. All the garden visitors come to a halt when they come to
it. It's absolutely covered in bloom. We have so very few early peach/pinks
that it's going to be a great asset. It produces masses of good pollen,
provided I can get to it before the earwigs eat it.

The tour was amazing! It was my first time visiting Chicago so I was so excited to see so many places and learn about the history too. I and #39;d do it again. Highly recommend.
Courtney and Alex
Great views of the city skyline. Ended up being colder out than we had hoped for, but still enjoyed going to the upper deck. The dinner buffet was really good and enjoyed the DJ as well. Over-all...a great time. The only thing that I can say I disliked was the price. For what was included it was a bit pricey.
We were lucky to catch perfect weather. The view from the lake is wonderful. The buffet offered a nice variety.
Great atmosphere, food and views. Great way to start our Chicago
Amazing experience. Really worth it!
Food was delicious, Chicago's skyline from the lake is astonishing and cabin crew made the experience even better!
Great night!
Excellent cruise!!!! My new wife and I were married earlier that day and thought a night cruise would add to our new marriage excitement. It did!! The staff and mgmt were very professional and treated you like royalty. The food was great! The music and enviroment were very entertaining. And up top deck watching the sunset and seeing the Chicago night lights was beautiful!! Was well worth the money and my wife and I are looking forward to going again. :
My experience on this trip was absolutely amazing from the Manager to my server Ingrid was the most respectable people did a very good job at fulfilling their positions. The bartenders Nakia and Sharon were very good at their job every worker there made the environment most comfortable as possible very helpful they did not lack on anything. The DJ Matthew he did an amazing job the music was on point. I Highly recommend this cruise to anyone my family and myself definitely will be back loved the cruise amazing.
We had a great time, even with the weather not corporating. Great fun, good food and friendly staff.
I would recommend Chicago Sunset Dinner Cruise to anyone who was looking for a fun night out with friends, a significant other, or even family!! The dj's mix of music keep the party going with versatility and hype. The crew was the absolute best!!! They help push the party by being up on the newest dances and being able to show those of us who were a little slower, how to get 'hip: quick!!! Loved that! Anthony, was one of our servers who really assured us of a great time! Prompt courteous and respectable!!! Food was awesome! The fireworks display was awesome, and although it was raining pretty much the whole time, the steadiness of the SPIRIT made you feel safe. Chicago always knows how to throw an off the chain party and that nite proved it. OOOO yes I will be back with another team!
Super, totally relaxing and very Professional staff. Will be back next year.

Oy. Why is it so hard to bounce back after the holidays? Somehow the scent of an evergreen tree and a few twinkling lights signal to my brain that I should never have to work again. O, delicious laziness. Then the calendar changes, the supply of be-sprinkled Christmas cookies dries up, and cold hard reality finally sets in.
Sadly, other people are being productive again. And they expect the same from me. Like, on a daily basis. And my stash of cookies is long gone. Reality bites indeed.
I know everyone else has been blogging and going about their lives like champs for nearly two weeks now, but I'm still in mourning for the laziness that was. Time to console myself with cake.
I don't have a favorite dessert, but I would say that my favorite flavor combination is chocolate and mint. My go-to birthday pick is always warm brownies with mint chocolate chip ice cream, and I can positively murder a bag of Andes mints if I'm left unattended with them. So obviously, this cake is my jam. It's made with moist devil's food cake, and filled with a smooth, creamy mint buttercream flecked with bits of dark chocolate.
This poor cake barely lasted two days in our house. First of all, I obviously ate this entire huge slice during the course of photographing it. Obviously. Then afterwards, I would invent ridiculous reasons to go into the kitchen ("I need more tinfoil for this hat of mine! Off to the kitchen I go!"). Three or four slivers of cake later, I'd leave and promise myself I was done….only to come back 20 minutes later and repeat the whole process.
I have no regrets, though. Regrets are so 2012. Instead, I'm auld lang syne-ing and remembering this bad boy with fondness, and vowing to make it at least once or twice more this year. And may I suggest that you do the same?
- ½ cup + 1 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ cups cake flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 4 oz butter, at room temperature
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- ½ cup water, at room temperature
- ½ cup whole milk, at room temperature
- 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped Andes mints, plus additional for decorating
- 4 oz dark chocolate
- 9 egg whites, at room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 lb butter, at room temperature
- 2 tsp peppermint extract
- A few drops green food coloring
- 3 oz heavy cream
- 3 oz (about ½ cup) finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper and spray them well with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, whisk or sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking soda. In the bowl of a large stand mixer, combine the butter and the granulated sugar. Beat them together on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes, until they're light, fluffy, and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, and beat until they're fully incorporated.
- Combine the water and the milk. With the mixer running on low speed, add about a third of the sifted dry ingredients to the bowl. When they are almost completely mixed in, pour in half of the water-milk mixture, and let it mix together Add half of the remaining drys, then when those are mixed, add the remaining wet ingredients. Finally, finish off by adding the last of the drys. Stop when the streaks of flour are almost completely gone. Add the miniature chocolate chips and chopped Andes mints, and stir everything together by hand, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl to make sure the batter is well-mixed.
- Divide the cake batter evenly between the pans and bake at 350 F for 22-25 minutes, until the tops spring back lightly when touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes our clean. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then invert from the pans and let cool completely.
- Using a box grater, grate the dark chocolate until it is in small chunks or shards. Set aside for now.
- Combine the egg whites and the granulated sugar in the bowl of a large stand mixer, and whisk them together. Choose a small saucepan that lets you fit the base of the stand mixer snugly into the top of the saucepan—this is your makeshift hot water bath. (Alternately, you can use a different bowl or an actual bain marie and then transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl once it's heated.) Add an inch of water to the bottom of the saucepan, and bring the water to a simmer. Place the mixing bowl on top of the saucepan, making sure that the bottom isn't in contact with the water, and heat the egg white mixture. Whisk frequently so that the egg whites don't cook. Continue to heat the whites until they are hot to the touch, and when you rub a bit between your fingers, you don't feel any grittiness from the sugar.
- Once the whites are hot, transfer the mixing bowl to your mixer and fit it with a whisk attachment. Beat the whites on high speed until they are no longer warm to the touch—feel the outside of the bowl, and make sure that it is around room temperature. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the room temperature butter in small chunks, a tablespoon at a time, making sure to wait in between additions. It may separate or look a little gloopy at this point—fear not. Once all of the butter is added, increase the speed again and whip until it comes together and is light and fluffy. Add the mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring, until you get a nice light mint green. (A drop or two of yellow might help as well, depending on your food coloring.
- Stir in the shredded chocolate by hand. The buttercream can be made in advance and kept at room temperature if you're going to use it the same day, or refrigerated. If it's been chilled, let it sit at room temperature until it softens, then re-whip it to get the fluffy texture back before you use it.
- Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Pour the cream into a small saucepan, and heat it over medium-high heat until it simmers and is just under a boil. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for one minute to soften the chocolate. Whisk the cream and chocolate together until the chocolate melts and the ganache is smooth and shiny. Set aside until it is warm and still fluid, but not hot. This can be made in advance and re-warmed in the microwave before assembling the cake. You will probably have some ganache left over after decorating the cake, and you can either serve it with the cake, or chill it and roll it into balls to make truffles.
- Chill the layers—I like to wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes, until they are cold but not rock-hard. When they are slightly frozen they are sturdier and easier to cut and move without crumbling.
- Use a long serrated knife to cut the cakes in half. Place one half on a cardboard cake round, and spoon about a cup of frosting on top of it. Use an offset spatula to spread the frosting evenly across the top, going all the way to the sides of the cake. Place another cake round on top of the frosted one, and make sure the sides line up evenly. Add more frosting to this top round, and continue to layer the cake and spread frosting. Once all the layers are stacked, use a spatula to spread more frosting on the top and sides of the cake. This frosting won't ever get super-smooth, due to the chocolate chip bits, so you don't have to worry about getting the sides perfectly even.
- If you would like to decorate the cake as pictured, spoon the remaining frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe rosettes around the border of the cake, making sure they touch each other. Warm up the ganache, if necessary, until it is pourable and smooth. Pour a thin layer into the center of the cake and spread it to the inside edges of the rosettes. Top the cake with more Andes mints if desired. Chill it to set the ganache, for about an hour, then bring it back to room temperature so that the frosting is soft and supple.

Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Sunday 26 Feb 2017 to Tuesday 7 Mar 2017:
Late February and early March look generally mild, changeable and unsettled at times, with Atlantic depressions pushing across the UK. This means there will be spells of rain, some of which could be heavy across high ground in the north and west, and accompanied by windy conditions, perhaps with gales at times, again more likely in the north and west. Showers in between these Atlantic systems could be wintry over northern hills. Some wind and rain is likely for the south and east too, though with more prolonged spells of drier and brighter weather in-between. Throughout this period there remains a lower chance that high pressure centred to the southwest of the UK may become more dominant and this would mean rather more settled conditions establishing themselves, with overnight frosts.
Updated at: 1207 on Tue 21 Feb 2017
UK Outlook for Wednesday 8 Mar 2017 to Wednesday 22 Mar 2017:
For March there is a fair amount of uncertainty, but the weather is most likely to be unsettled at first. There will be spells of wet and windy weather, interspersed with brighter and showery conditions with some snow possible across the north of the UK. There will, however, also be some drier and brighter spells, particularly in the south and east where we may see some local frost and fog at times overnight. Temperatures are expected to be around average for the time of year but there remains a small chance of seeing a more prolonged cold spell, if settled conditions develop more widely. This is most probable later in the period.

I keep forgetting to tell you all that I recently noticed my winter
honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima) is blooming. I never even remember I
have it until it blooms. What a fragrant reminder that spring will come
again! I do love this old fashioned shrub. I got mine from suckers at an
abandoned homestead nearby. It's got to be one of the easiest plants to grow
since it requires absolutely no care. I also checked out the Hellebores, and
they have doubled in size with lots of new growth. I'm expecting blooms on
them in the next few weeks.

The Seasonal Abundance of Blowflies Infesting Drying Fish in South-West India

1. Blowfly infestation of sun-drying fish is a major economic problem in many developing countries of Asia, Africa and the Pacific. To consider the ecology of infestation, adult and larval blowfly populations were monitored between 27 October 1997 and 27 April 1999 at a fish landing and drying site, approximately 5 km north of Calicut, in Kerala state on the coast of south-west India. 2. During the 548-day sampling period, a total of 96 953 adult Diptera was collected from 16 sticky targets, placed inside and outside eight fish-storage sheds. Of these, 91 912 (95%) were Chrysomya megacephala, 3719 (4%) were other Calliphoridae and 1322 (1%) were other species, largely Sarcophagidae. 3. The population of C. megacephala showed pronounced seasonal fluctuations in response to climate, particularly relative humidity. Significantly shorter-frequency fluctuations within fish-processing sheds were also evident, the periodicity of which corresponded approximately to C. megacephala generation cycles. Spatial variation in C. megacephala abundance was evident within the site, higher populations occurring closest to the beach and numbers declining with distance inland. 4. The pattern of drying fish infestation by C. megacephala broadly followed changes in the density of adult flies and the seasonal change in weather, with peaks during the monsoon and troughs in the dry hot periods. High relative humidity played a significant but secondary role in increasing infestation. 5. Quantification of the relationship between larval infestation and percentage fish loss suggests that, given the infestation levels observed, between 10% and 60% post-harvest wet weight losses would be expected in the monsoon period, depending on the species of fish landed. 6. The study emphasizes the importance of developing a clear understanding of the basic ecology and spatial and temporal dynamics of an insect pest, prior to the design or implementation of any pest management programme.

California CIO Teri Takais Five Major Priorities
California CIO Teri Takai's Five Major Priorities 1. "We want to view IT as a utility. We want to stabilize the underlying infrastructure so that as we're looking at the deployment of applications, we're not trying to create the infrastructure at the same time.
"In California, all of our projects are big-there's nothing that isn't big-and we have a history, just like everyone else does, of big projects failing. The legislature wants stability, and we feel the first step to that is not having to worry about the infrastructure."
2. "We want to provide better and easier services to citizens. We want to move to more self-service. We have about 400 services online today, but the best of the best has about 800.
"Reasons for that are obviously efficiency-it's better customer delivery, and it fits in with our green IT agenda. Again, not having people driving to offices [to obtain services] is the best way to go."
3. "Collaboration. We need to be much more collaborative across state agencies, but it's also our plan to reach out to the locals. For instance, we are just about to name a geographic information officer for all of our geographic information systems. The success of GIS is bringing in the information that the locals have as well as the information we have-which is particularly valuable for things like firefighting and the evacuation of personnel [in an emergency]."
4. "Sustainability. We want to be sure we're following our green IT policies."
5. "Data sharing. One thing we're all concerned about is that we have chimneys of information. We don't share information freely, and that's really a challenge as we're trying to bring our different programs together.
"It's kind of fascinating because everybody tries to hide behind, 'Well, I can't because the feds won't let me.' Some of that is true, but some of it also is a convenient reason for not doing the sharing."

"If the case went forward," the Times said, "who would believe them over a revered figure like Jerry Sandusky?" And now, sadly, those fears have been realized: Sara Ganim of the Patriot-News of Harrisburg is reporting today that Victim 1—the boy whose allegation three years ago triggered everything about the case into motion—had to leave school because he's being harassed by fellow students. From Ganim's story: Advertisement Advertisement Officials at Central Mountain High School in Clinton County weren't providing guidance for fellow students, who were reacting badly about Joe Paterno's firing and blaming the 17-year-old, said Mike Gillum, the psychologist helping his family. Those officials were unavailable for comment this weekend.The lone silver lining, Gillum added, is that Victim 1 is drawing strength from seeing other alleged victims continue to speak up.Alleged Jerry Sandusky victim leaves school because of bullying, counselor says [PennLive]Reply29 repliesLeave a reply

I wrote my own series for Harlequin Intrigue, The McClintock Brothers. It's funny, when I wrote the first book in the series, Circumstantial Memories, I didn't have a series in mind until the hero of that book decided he needed two brothers. So of course, I had to tell their stories, and then lo and behold, an illegitimate brother popped up for the McClintocks. The second book in the series, The Sheriff of Silverhill, came out in Jan. of this year, and the remaining two books, The McClintock Proposal and A Silverhill Christmas, will be out in Sept. and Dec. of this year.
Nicole North Says:
Congrats on your new series! Yes, I love series... reading and writing them. I'm easily hooked. LOL
Natasha Says:
I love series...unless I discover it around book 3 or 4 - then I really have to want to read it in order to hunt down the first couple so I can read them in order.
Congrats on your new series :)
Buffie Says:
I'm a lover of series! It is so wonderful to read a book and then realize the author is publishing a book about one of the secondary characters. I like to revisit characters from the past and see how their "happily ever after" is really going.
Nicole, I'm easily hooked too! The authors must be doing something right.
Natasha, the most incredible series I ever read was Phillipa Carr's (aka Victoria Holt/Jean Plaidy) Daughters of England series - something like 25 books, beginning with Tudor England all the way to WWII. Each successive book had the daughter or sometimes the sister of the previous heroine. In the next book or two you'd find out what happened to the previous couple, and it wasn't always happily ever after for them. I started in the middle of that series and had to go back to the very beginning, and believe me, those books published in the 70's and 80's were not always easy to find! But I read every one of those books. Loved that series - starts with Miracle at St. Bruno's.
Buffie - I agree. Sometimes those secondary characters just jump out at you and you really them to have a HEA!

Expectations can be like a large stone: you can either use them as a pedestal on which to stand above the crowd, or have them drag you down like an anchor at sea. While 22-year-old welterweight Rory MacDonald faced a worthy opponent in Englishman Che Mills on Saturday night in UFC 145, the bigger opponent was the expectations that have been heaped on the Canadian rising star. UFC president Dana White called MacDonald the next Georges St. Pierre, a reference to the current welterweight champion and one of the most popular and dominant fighters in the sport. MacDonald burnished his image and raised expectations even higher with an impressive TKO over Mills in a fight that was never close. Mills was bleeding two minutes into the first round as MacDonald took him to the mat and pounded a deep gash over Mills' right eye and another on his right cheek. The powerful close-quarters punches and elbows made the canvas look an episode of "True Blood." Relentless and indefatigable, MacDonald's punches come in flurries with the last packing just as much power as the first. Mills went to the ground early in the second round and MacDonald continued the pounding until the referee mercifully stopped it at the 2:20 mark in the second. "I made some mistakes, which is a blessing because you can learn from them," MacDonald said, although most knowledgeable fight watchers viewed the performance as near flawless. But he also felt what everyone who watched the fight saw. "I just stayed on him," he said. "I knew he was hurt from the first ground and pound. But he was very tough, hard to put away." It was a night for the UFC to showcase their most talented youngsters. Light heavyweight champion Jon Jones successfully defended his belt at the ripe old age of 24, and now has a record of 16-1. MacDonald is 13-1 in mixed martial arts, although this was only his fifth fight in the UFC. But despite impressive wins over Mike Pyle, Nate Diaz and Mike Guymon, MacDonald entered this one in an unenviable position. Even though Mills came into the night with a 14-4 MMA record and one TKO victory in the UFC, MacDonald was supposed to win. In fact, many pundits wondered why he wasn't fighting a more "worthy" opponent. That added pressure unlike anything the youngster had never experienced. "The media wasn't giving much respect to my opponent," he said. "So you look bad when you lose." But he didn't lose, and if White and others are correct, there are many more victories in MacDonald's future. This one was, as expected, a lesson in talent and technique. "Whenever I do something on the ground full power like that I know the fight is pretty much over," MacDonald said, not in the cocky voice of a 22-year-old who is full of himself, but like a mature man who understands his potential. "It took longer than I expected (to win), though, even though I'm in good shape." MacDonald also displays wisdom beyond his years, especially when speaking about expectations, which he understands must be cultivated like roses, and managed to the last detail. "I want to stay busy," he said. "I need to train properly, stay focused and continue to grow as a fighter." When asked what he hopes that growth will look like, the young man smiled. "Three fights a year," he said. "That would make me happy." He didn't mention a shot at the title. Everyone expects that to come soon enough.
