Christmas (Rich Dairy-free) Eggnog: Here's to Your Health!
Well, Christmas is here and it's a long time since I posted, back in September. I've written a few things but haven't managed to get back to them to finish taking the pictures. Here's the thing -- for non-professional bloggers who want to still provide a somewhat finished product, it takes one heck of a lot of time to write, edit, take pictures and edit them, and then set the whole thing up in a finished and fairly blemish-free form. Of course we do it because we want to help make the web a great place to get information and recipes and we want to make that available for anyone on any budget. For anyone, someone, like me who may have given up her job to caregive for a family member, and is on a budget so strict that it might disappear if it were stretched to buying many cookbooks. Or for young people, students, mothers, people without jobs, people who don't have much money but who still want to eat as well as they can.
So even though I don't have too much time or energy for blogging these days, I still want to do what I can. I want to contribute in my small way to what's out there and maybe do it as a thank-you to all you others who do the same, and whose recipes I use, whose words I find inspiration in, no matter how tired or discouraged I feel. And that can be fairly often, because my mom has now developed dementia on top of the Parkinson's and I'm the only sibling close enough or with the will to do anything.
But today is Christmas, so I intend to leave that all aside. We have the tree and decorations up; we have the presents opened, carols listened to, and lunch out of the way but I still have too much work left to do. I have to finish off the knitting projects for my children and make multiple batches of shortbread cookies, fix a turkey meal for my mother and try not to be disappointed that I didn't get to more. I'm also reinstalling ubuntu after running out of memory on my old installation and trying to work out all the kinks and recreate my customizations.
In the midst of all this I intend to stop for a precious time, put up my feet and enjoy a cup of homemade eggnog with just enough kick of rum to make my tummy sing, but my head remain clear.
In case you might need a pick-me up, here's the recipe. I started with the classic recipe from Joy of Cooking, but made a few shortcuts that really don't affect the quality much and make it easy to create this. It's very good.
Have a warm and wonderful Christmas, if you can. And though there's nothing especially healthy about this drink, in the physical sense, I think it may pick up your spirits. Have a healthy and happy Christmas and New Year.
Rich Dairy Free Eggnog -- Makes about a quart or so
6 whole eggs and 2 yolks
1/2 lb (about 2 cups, more or less, to taste) confectioner's sugar
1 cup good rum
1 pint soy coffee cream (or cream, I used Silk)
2 cups soy milk
Grated fresh nutmeg (about 1/8 - 1/4 small)
Put 6 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks in a bowl and combine with an immersion blender or use a regular blender. You can also use a bowl and whisk but that will take longer and require a bit more arm action. Beat them until they are uniform in colour and a frothy light yellow.
Add the confectioner's sugar (icing sugar) slowly and blend well until there are no lumps. Add the rum and give it a quick swirl. Add the soy coffee cream and soy milk. Grate in the fresh nutmeg and briefly blend. Whip 2 egg whites until stiff but not dry and stir them in by hand. Refrigerate for a few hours to develop the flavour. The egg whites will separate out but you can use a whisk to blend them back in before you pour the nog. I usually serve it in a wine glass, which is a nice portion. This will keep for at least a few days--maybe.

Those who made a killing from buying into Abbey National prior to the bid from Spain's Banco Santander were busy piling into MFI Furniture yesterday. They reckon a private equity bid for the retailer is imminent and hope to cash in on it. Now investors may have a feeling of déjà vu about the return of the MFI rumour but there again talk of an offer for Abbey National from Banco Santander was not new when it did the rounds of the City on Thursday.
MFI ended 2.25p better at 136.25p as 19.3 million shares changed hands. Bulls of the stock reckon a bid could come as early as next week and will be pitched at the 180p level. Over the past month, bulls and bears of MFI have been locked in an almighty tussle. Should the speculation of an offer for MFI come true, those short of the stock will face huge losses. But at the close of business yesterday, dealers reported a 30 million share short position in the stock, meaning that bears were staying firm, convinced that no one is planning to buy the group.
Another story surrounding MFI was talk of tension between the management and those who run its Howden unit. The business sells building materials from warehouses on industrial parks and is by far the best-performing part of the company, which is seeing its traditional retail operations struggle amid growing competition. Thursday's results revealed a 12 per cent drop in like-for-like sales at MFI's retail unit, while Howden registered a 26 per cent jump in sales. Gossips reckon pressure for the sale of Howden is growing, despite attempts by John Hancock, MFI's boss, to play down such talk. Could a private equity house been planning a break-up for the group?
Meanwhile, the banking sector was set alight by Banco Santander's move on the UK mortgage bank. Abbey itself soared 18 per cent, or 87p, to 580p, while Bradford & Bingley put on 7.5p to 267p. Alliance & Leicester rose 45.5p to 843p and Northern Rock added 10.5p to 711p. The FTSE 100 also finished the week on a positive note, up 20 points at 4,326.3. Reuters was the worst performer on the blue-chip index, falling 8.5p to 327.25p, amid speculation it is close to the acquisition of a rival financial data provider, Moneyline Telerate. Such a deal is likely to see Reuters pay about $300m (£164m) via a mixture of cash and shares, analysts suggest. Moneyline Telerate is owned by a private equity division of JP Morgan Chase.
WPP rose 1.5p to 516p amid ever-intensifying rumours that the advertising giant is mulling a bid for its US rival Global Grey. Analysts at Credit Suisse First Boston said they would support WPP if it tried to execute such a move. "We believe that WPP management should be given the benefit of any doubt to proceed with this acquisition," they said in a note to clients.
The Swiss broker calculates that the group could finance the deal entirely through debt and argued that it would not necessarily lead to a downgrade for the company's credit rating.
Regus gained 3p to 60p after Thursday's 8 per cent drop in the stock. This weakness is believed to have been due to a forced seller who was told to abandon his bull position, held in the form of a contract for difference, by his broker. This is becoming an increasingly common phenomenon.
At the start of the week dealers reported a similar scenario at Tadpole Technology and it is due to the increasing use of contracts for difference, which are highly leveraged financial instruments. Vague bid speculation pushed SSL International 11.5p higher to 297.75p. Autonomy fell 6.5p to 173p as both UBS and JP Morgan downgraded the stock after Thursday's disappointing results from the group. UBS cut its rating to "reduce" from "buy" and slashed its earnings estimates by 37 per cent for the current year. JP Morgan moved back its recommendation to "neutral" from "overweight".
Lower down the pecking order, Knowledge Technology Solutions put on 0.38p to 5.5p after Marc Pinter-Krainer, its chief executive, bought 100,000 shares at 5.35p. He now controls 13.8 per cent of the company. There was also director share-buying at RM, 1p better at 122.5p. Rob Sirs, an executive, picked up 12,500 shares at 125p. Clarity Commerce rose 3p to 69.5p after the software solutions group unveiled a 95 per cent jump in full-year pre-tax profits to £740,000. Analysts predict profits will rise to £1.1m by the end of the current year. Clarity now boasts a number of high profile clients for its software including Mothercare, UCI and Odeon.
And finally, investors should keep and eye out for Zambezi Resources next week. The company is expected to float on Monday. WH Ireland is believed to have raised £2.5m for the copper and gold explorer via a placing at 12p and the stock is widely expected to register a healthy premium to this on its first day of dealings.
The placing by WH Ireland is said to have been three times oversubscribed.

I haven't blogged in months. Not because I haven't wanted to or had thoughts I wish I could share, but because I haven't been able to prioritize a frequent opportunity for sitting, thinking and writing. Now that I've typed those words, I'm cringing and questioning why my internal alarm hadn't sounded before now.
Wrapping-up another "day off" from work where I had a constant flow of work-related thoughts as I was catching-up on a few things on the personal side of the fence, I came across two articles that are very much connected:
The Disease of Being Busy
Mindful Moments in a Multitasking World
I read the articles. I posted one of them on social media and then I stopped. I read the comments. All of them. Scrolling through dozens of personal stories and connections, I am reminded once again that we are not alone on the journey. And while, at times, we feel that we are, I still wonder why. Why are we caught in this race-to-nowhere culture? Why do I feel bad when I want to schedule a lunch date or coffee with a friend while I know that my to-do list is waiting for me? Why don't we do something about it?
Today is Friday. Tonight is Shabbat Vayeira. Just a little bit of drama in this one (!) with Abraham arguing with God, Lot's home is attacked and his wife is turned into a pillar of salt, and there's a great deal of family-related crap to boot. Ultimately, God tests Abraham, instructing him to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Moriah. Skipping over some pretty juicy parts of the story, this summary is only half of what's happening here. So what am I taking from the text this week, in connection to where I currently am?
Abraham gets educated on what is right and just.
It's not in the lesson, but in the journey that he figures it out.
He is confident that there is good among the evil.
While we're running around, we don't always see what's happening around us. We don't always hear what we need to be listening to. We don't always take time to appreciate what is not sticking out in front of us. So, maybe, in the coming week, we can try to do the following:
Listen a little more carefully.
Silence the unnecessary noise for just long enough to discover something new.
Find an answer to a question that's been present.
Remember that there is good...even if you have to search among the bad.
Shabbat Shalom.

Henri de Ceredigion (the person I would like to play from that time) maybe a little early (born in 1595, becomes a MP in 1625 in the Useless Parliament, and then becomes a Musketeer by 1630) but if you would be willing to accept him then could I ask how much it costs to join and whether you have any people near Aberystwyth, Aberaeron and Cardigan?

I have a habit of watching bad late-night TV, especially when it involves sets of 87 knives for the low, low price of $99. They almost hooked me during a Krazy Katana special, but I opted to spend my money at Kay's Lounge (2324 Bissonnet, 713-521-0010) instead. I've been coming here for years, but they've only recently started pouring liquor. It's no coincidence that the crowd has changed too; much like a new sushi restaurant in Midtown, the introduction of Red Bull and Jägermeister to a beer bar attracts a certain breed of young, Texan pseudo-professional. After squeezing through the throng of impatient Vuittonites, I ask the busy bartender for Three Wise Men, a surprisingly palatable combination of whiskey and bourbon that helps to mute my surroundings. As I wonder where the normal weekday crowd is hiding, a guy to my left strikes up a conversation, later offering to go in the back and make me a pizza. My new best friend Scott is the kind of regular who answers "Do you work here?" with "I don't not work here" as he casually pours himself a drink. He'd been sitting by the door with Tim, another patron, who tells us he used to work elbow-deep in tomato sauce at a rural Illinois Pizza Palace, circa 1988: "We mixed the sauce with our forearms...I had to be careful about open sores because the tomatoes would make them sting." Though no longer hungry, I stick around for a few yarns about Scott's friend, celebrity chef Bobby Flay. A few hours and 30 stories later, the crowd is gone, the pace slows down and the only whining at the bar is from Merle Haggard's guitar just the way it should be.
1/2 ounce Jim Beam bourbon whiskey
1/2 ounce Jack Daniels whiskey
Kay's Lounge
1/2 ounce Johnny Walker Black Scotch whiskey

Balls 6 and new tail flash
I saw Balls-6 at the Boeing hangers today and snapped these pictures. Note the red and white tail marking. I wonder why red and white?

Diagnostic | CT Scanning | Breast Care |
Ultrasound | Angiography | Nuclear Medicine |
This section is staffed 7:30 am to 8:00 pm, Monday-Friday and 8:00 am-4:00 pm on Saturday. Our MRI scanner is located on the first floor of the Hospital.
MR= Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Unlike Diagnostic and CT Scanning, this modality does not utilize x-rays to image the body. This technology utilizes a high strength magnetic field (1.5T) and radio-frequency waves.
This scanner has proven to be of great clincal value in the assessment of central nervous system disorders, musculoskeletal disease and sports medicine injuries, heart and great vessel disorders, abdominal/pelvic masses and vascular disease, among others.
Patients must be able to hold very still for the scans, which range from seconds to
several minutes in length. Each exam consists of several
"scans"; therefore appointment times range from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. Claustrophobic
patients should consult with their physicians before
making an appointment.

Reports: Apple has talked with Tesla, Basis Science
According to recent reports, Apple has spoken to a few companies, possibly regarding acquisitions. Apple's mergers and acquisitions chief Adrian Perica reportedly spoke to Tesla CEO Elon Musk "last Spring." Both Tesla and Apple declined comment, though it has been speculated that the companies might collaborate in some way on a domestic rechargeable battery production facility. The same report noted that Apple is exploring "sensor technology that can help predict heart attacks." Apple audio engineer Tomlinson Holman, the inventor of THX and 10.2 surround sound, is "exploring ways to predict heart attacks by studying the sound blood makes as it flows through arteries." Such a technology would likely come into play in Apple's iWatch, if at all — a recent report suggested that iWatch sensors won't be as advanced as some expect.
Another report notes Basis Science, maker of the Basis Health Tracker Watch, has spoken to companies including Apple and Google about a potential sale. Considering that Apple is working on its own fitness tracking watch, if the company had any prospective interest in Basis, it would likely involve incorporating the watch's tracking technology into its own upcoming device. A Basis representative said the company doesn't comment on "rumor or speculation." [via San Francisco Chronicle, TechCrunch]

Homemade clips, especially those with Camaros, too often go straight for cheap bad-ass-wannabe 'tude and general delinquency. This one is — thankfully — much different. The Norcal members of Camaro5 took the high road with this lovingly produced seven-and-a-half-minute homage to their Chevrolets. The pacing can be Tarkovsky-slow at times, probably because the video had to be edited to the pre-existing music instead of the other way around, but the visuals — of both current-generation cars and choice examples of previous models — are never less than beautiful. It's a terrific piece of automotive film, and a very welcome move away from crude stereotypes for a car that deserves a better reputation.

Cop Saved After Good Samaritan Stepped In, State Has Powerful Message For Would-Be Heroes
It was unprecedented when it happened, but this officer's life was in mortal danger. A traffic stop had turned into a deadly crime scene after officers pulled a man over. A fight ensued on the side of the road. Then, an armed good samaritan showed up. He took care of the police officer's assailant, then he sped off. Now the state is responding.

Knocking down a stifling wall separating the living room and kitchen, Popp opened the space to bring light in and create a fitting canvas for his father's contemporary artwork and modern furnishings he's collected over the years—all in an easily managed, single-level layout. Acting as the project manager and construction lead and relying on floor sales and extra materials from other projects, Popp was able to completely transform the two-bedroom, one-bath apartment for a total of $45,000, which he says "won't even buy you cabinets in some remodels."
Describing his dad as "a great, and grateful, client," Popp says he had carte blanche, within his budgetary restrictions, to "do something really interesting, really cool for my dad, who said he didn't want to hinder the project with a lot of requests." Indeed, the project shows a clear, singular vision in an area that is just starting to awaken from its long design hibernation: the Eichler houses are becoming more recognized, and one of Popp's clients recently organized Sacramento's first mid-century modern house tour. Though it took some convincing to pry his father away from the idea of living in the much farther away, mid-century modern haven that is Palm Springs, Popp's father told him after moving in, "I'm so glad I am where I am."

BJP national secretary Tarun Chugh has condemned the statement of Congress deputy leader in Lok Sabha Capt Amarinder Singh against the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS).
Slamming Amarinder, Chugh said Amarinder seemed to be trying to please anti-India forces and his 'friends' in Pakistan and Canada by speaking against the RSS, a patriotic and nationalist organisation.
"He (Amarinder Singh) has no right to raise an objection against the shakhas of RSS anywhere in India, including Punjab. RSS does not take directions from people like Amarinder about where it should hold its shakhas," added Chugh.
"It is strange that Amarinder is objecting to RSS shakhas on the plea that holding shakhas in the rural areas of Punjab would lead to communal polarisation. The Congress leader needs to be told that RSS has been holding shakhas since its inception in Punjab," he claimed.
He also added that the party wanted to remind Amarinder that RSS was not new to Punjab and that it had been holding shakhas in undivided Punjab even before the partition of the country.
"The Sangh's swayamsewaks came forward to help people whenever a situation arises and while doing so they have always displayed that the RSS was above caste, creed and religion. It has been proved time and again that the outfit cares for all, and is patriotic and nationalistic."

Super VIP – Treat yourself and your guests on the night to VIP balcony seating, including table service and free refreshments during the ceremony. Please note: Balcony seating prevents easy access to the stage for award winners.
The ICAD Awards are the annual awards for the achievement of Creative Excellence in Irish Advertising and Design through which we are seen to maintain standards of excellence and the awards themselves, known as 'bells', are considered the pre-eminent Irish creative industry accolade.
Entrants from across the Irish advertising and design industries put their work forward to be considered for an ICAD award. Work is commended and awarded by respected local and international creatives across TV, radio, print, design, online and cross-media categories.
Entries to the 2017 ICAD Awards are still invited. Receive a 10% discount on entries before Feb 21st, final deadline March 7th. More here.
Commended work will go live on www.icad.ie on May 4th.
Please note: Members rate tickets are available only to 2017 ICAD members. Please check your membership status in advance. Non-members booking members rate tickets will be invoiced for the difference.

We present a phase shifting robust method for irregular and unknown phase steps. The method is formulated as the minimization of a half-quadratic (robust) regularized cost function for simultaneously computing phase maps and arbitrary phase shifts. The convergence to, at least, a local minimum is guaranteed. The algorithm can be understood as a phase refinement strategy that uses as initial guess a coarsely computed phase and coarsely estimated phase shifts. Such a coarse phase is assumed to be corrupted with artifacts produced by the use of a phase shifting algorithm but with imprecise phase steps. The refinement is achieved by iterating alternated minimization of the cost function for computing the phase map correction, an outliers rejection map and the phase shifts correction, respectively. The method performance is demonstrated by comparison with standard filtering and arbitrary phase steps detecting algorithms.
