Motivated Owner-Bring Offers
This is the unique opportunity to own a vessel that was designed to life cargo or vessels from the water. It was designed to lift tourist submarines from the water onto the barge's dry dock platform. It has an integrated hydraulic lift for lifting cargo and or submarines from the water. The owner bought it for the submarine that was with it and has no use for the vessel. This vessel is powered by twin 400HP diesel inboard engines with two Schottel drives. These are special drives for maneuverability that were specially ordered. The vessel is in fully operational condition and has been well cared for. I have registry documents on file as well as recent safety certificates proving class. For additional pictures and information please contact IYB.

International Yacht Brokerage (IYB1) specializes in helping yacht buyers find the right yacht at the right price. Our multilingual team of yacht consultants operate worldwide, and as a team. We have experience as captains, marine surveyors, helicopter and fixed-wing pilots, yacht management, and last, but certainly not least, yacht owners. This experience allows us to guide buyers like no other yacht brokerage team is capable.
Our "yacht brokers" are consultants that specialize in just a few brands within yacht segments such as sports fishing, medium sized motor yachts, long range yachts, mega yachts, etc. For example, our Nordhavn specialist has studied at the Nordhavn yard, and knows well the history of this shipyard and the different models developed over the years. He knows exactly which yachts are for sale, as well as well as those that are not officially for sale. He happens to also be a Nordhaven owner! This same yacht consultant has little experience with the Hatteras brand and would be ill-at-ease advising a yacht buyer in such a purchase. For this reason, we need to re-emphasize that our yacht consultants specialize by shipyard, so let us direct you to the yacht consultant that will be the most helpful for your yacht search.
We work in teams to be able to provide the highest service. For example, if you are looking for an explorer yacht of 150 feet from a German shipyard, the team will be composed of a full displacement specialist (Alex), a mega yacht expert (Alain), and a German speaker with finance and negotiating expertise (Pat). The multi-national team speaks the following languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian, and Swedish. IYB1's multi-national presence will also help you find the best deal since price differences between locations can be as much as 40% due to exchange rate fluctuations.
We don't just find the best yacht to fit your budget, we also arrange the following on the behalf behalf of our clients: haul outs, surveys and sea trial, financing, class inspections, refit, crew recruitment, yacht management, shipping and unloading, ocean deliveries, electric conversion, registry deletion and foreign registrations, and last but not least, maritime lawyers to protect your investment. IYB1 also works with a team of transport experts, marine electricians, captains, and customs agents to ensure that your new vessel arrives in your marina safely and in time.

Car Review
2014 Ford Mustang: New Car Review
While no one will argue that the 2014 Ford Mustang is as refined as the Porsche 911 or BMW 3 Series, it delivers a raw driving experience unique to American motoring. The Mustang is younger, edgier, more defiant -- it's a muscle car for the modern age. It offers great value, too, whether you're talking about the 305-horsepower Mustang V6 for less than $25,000 or the 420-hp GT for just over $30,000.
In all fairness, the Mustang is not for everyone, especially if you require a real back seat. But otherwise, you may find it hard to resist the original pony car's charms.
What's New for 2014?
The Mustang is basically unchanged aside from the Boss 302 model's discontinuation. It will be completely redesigned for 2015.
What We Like
Numerous models and options; impressive power and fuel economy from the V6; quality interior and electronics
What We Don't
V8 models can be pricey; convertible has noisy interior; rudimentary live rear axle
How Much?
$22,995 to $60,595
Fuel Economy
That a V6 engine can produce 305 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque is impressive by anyone's standard but to have it deliver fuel economy of 19 miles per gallon city/31 mpg hwy is something the original Mustang designers could never have imagined. These ratings are for the 6-speed automatic transmission, but those for the 6-speed manual are nearly as good, at 19 mpg city/29 mpg hwy.
Equip the Mustang with the 5.0-liter V8 and horsepower and torque jump to 420 hp and 390 lb-ft (requires premium fuel). But for all its power, the V8 returns fuel ratings of 15 mpg city/26 mpg hwy with the 6-speed manual and 18 mpg city/25 mpg hwy with the 6-speed automatic. The Mustang's automatic doesn't feature a manual shift mode, but it does incorporate a Hill Mode function that extends the time a gear is held on uphill climbs and provides engine braking on steep descents.
In a class of its own, the GT500 has a supercharged 5.8-liter V8 that generates 662 hp and 631 lb-ft of torque. The only transmission offered is a 6-speed manual that returns fuel economy figures of 15 mpg city/24 mpg hwy.
Standard Features & Options
The 2014 Ford Mustang is offered as a coupe or soft-top convertible in five trim levels -- V6, V6 Premium, GT, GT Premium and GT500.
The V6 ($22,995) kicks things off with 17-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlights, power windows and locks, cruise control, air conditioning, a tilt steering wheel and a 4-speaker audio system with an auxiliary audio input.
The V6 Premium ($27,095) adds different 17-in wheels, leather trim, a power-adjustable driver seat, the SYNC voice-command system, Bluetooth, a color driver-information display and an 8-speaker Shaker stereo with iPod/USB connectivity.
The GT ($31,695) goes without much of the V6 Premium's equipment but gains a V8 engine, 18-in wheels, the signature GT front fog lights, a rear spoiler, a unique grille and a front splitter.
The GT Premium ($35,795) pairs the V6 Premium's luxuries with that honking V8, special 18-in wheels and various styling flourishes.
The GT500 ($55,595) is a whole new ballgame, sporting a world-beating supercharged V8 and all manner of performance and luxury upgrades, including staggered-size wheels (19-in fronts, 20-in rears) and exclusive sport seats.
Convertible Mustangs are equipped similarly but cost more than their coupe counterparts.
Notable options include various high-performance rear axles, a GT Track package, an even more powerful Shaker sound system, dual-zone automatic climate control, a navigation system, Recaro front seats and a panoramic glass roof.
The Mustang has standard 4-wheel ABS, electronic traction and stability control, and integrated blind-spot mirrors. The passenger cabin is protected by four airbags, including front and front-side airbags.
In government crash tests, the Mustang received an overall score of four stars out of five, including four stars each for frontal and side impacts.
Behind the Wheel
We've spent ample time in both the base Mustang V6 and the V8-powered GT, and we came away impressed by both. If you're not all about the muscle and the horsepower bragging rights, the V6 Mustang with the manual transmission is a great driver's car. There's plenty of power and the handling seems more responsive, while the interior seems quieter without the rumbling V8. As a daily driver, the V6 Mustang would be our choice, but as a weekend brawler there's no getting around the neck-snapping acceleration of the 5.0-liter V8. The GT has a beefier suspension, and bigger wheels and tires; you'll also feel the difference in the improved cornering but also in the rougher ride.
As for the GT500, it's insane in a very good way -- the sound, the feel and above all the face-flattening acceleration are just plain addictive. If you've got the cash, this kind of performance is a sweet reward.
The Mustang corners well, but if you push it hard that back end, with its live rear axle, will cause the traction control to come online in a hurry. With the traction control shut off, the rear simply breaks free and fishtails like Mustang models of old. But this is half the fun of driving a muscle car.
Convertible models perform much the same, except for added body flex due to the absent hardtop. We found the convertible models loud inside, owing to the top's lack of insulation.
Other Cars to Consider
Chevrolet Camaro -- The Camaro's exterior design is cleaner than the Mustang's, but its interior can't compare. The Camaro also has more horsepower than the Mustang V6 and V8 GT, and it features an independent rear suspension.
Dodge Challenger -- The Challenger R/T can't match the Mustang GT's horsepower ratings or its handling. But the Challenger offers a smoother ride and a more family-friendly back seat.
Hyundai Genesis Coupe -- The Genesis Coupe might not have the V8-powered muscle to compete with the GT, but its turbocharged 4-cylinder and 3.8-liter V6 engines are a good match for the V6 Mustang, and its more sophisticated suspension delivers better handling. Additionally, the 10-year/100,000-mile warranty trumps the Mustang's warranty by a wide margin.
AutoTrader's Advice
As good as the Mustang V6 is, we couldn't go without the delectable V8. Make ours a base GT, because it gives you just enough good stuff without breaking the bank.

these are such huge beautiful loads! i love to hear him moan and cuss "fuck! oh fuck! oh oh fuuuuuck." i really wish someone would cum all over my face and big tits! i would love to see a big dick jerking off right in front of my face until it came all over the place. i think i need to cum soon, im going to cum sooo hard
Young lady.. you rule! It would be a privilege to shoot a big load of cum all over your face!
I like your comment... I would like to cum over your face with a big load, specially over your nose, I would like to cover all your nose with my thick cum.
Hmmmm I'm cummmmmming
I started with more or less frequent masturbation at the age of about 18. Between the age of 20 and 50 I screwed God knows how many girls. But that did not stop me wank in between, although I had no access to porns. Two years ago I discovered fantastic youporn, and ever since I find masturbation far better than fucking. The great advantage of wanking is, that I do not depend on a woman's mood. I wank when ever I feel like it. And I do not wank when I am not in the mood for it. Since 2011 I keep account of my wanks. Amazing, In 2011 I did it 395 times, in 2012 380 times. Quite something for a 53 year old, I think. No wonder! Youporn is so hot, any normal man will get a hardon. I get rid of that stiff cock not under a cold shower, no, I give it a proper jerk off. And that is absolutely fantastic. Masturbation is a philosophie.
Sweet I love when the squirting is massive and it sprays out nose mouth soaking me.I moaning with pleasure each load it causes me to cum,Love to get two dicks and love it all.
I have never seen porns in my life until my boyfriend introduced me to Youporn today. I must say, this is very hot stuff for me and for him. So we're having great fun playing with each other's genitals.
Most these loads are from Arnold Swartzenpekcer and Peter North. You can tell by the look of their penis, the size of the loads, and the sounds they make when ejaculating. Peter North is the king and always fun to watch in action. His loads are so intense he actually prepares form them by doing some heavy breathing at first as he strokes his big penis getting ready. Once he starts ejaculating the breathing continues as the very large thick jizz spurts shoot out of his penis. This continues for several spurts till he's almost done, about 9 spurts, then we get the goofy giggle of relief. With the pressure in his balls finally letting up Peter North always has a fun goofy giggle as he can finally enjoy the great sensation of getting that load out. This usually causes the girl, now completely covered in his jizz to giggle too as everyone has fun and awe at what came out of Peter North's penis. A few times they wisely show off Peter North's face when he's ejaculating. We can see the serious stoic look on his face as he gets ready and starts to ejaculate. Once its almost done we get a big grin on his face and the fun goofy giggle. There's a few times though when Peter North's load is so big and intense his goofy giggle takes longer to happen as he's a bit in shock and almost passes out lol. You just want to put his penis in your mouth till he stops shaking, is sucked, clean, tell him its ok, and get him a beer lol.
wow.... those loads are huge! reminds me of my ex boyfriend who always cummed on my face with lots and lots of thick cum. I always felt like such a whore but it made so sooo wet.. omg I want cum on my face now!
I could donate
Was that one cock or two that came on that chick at 2:50? If its one then he's my hero and would love to have him over to do that to my wife!!! While I watch of course and add my jizz to the mess!
no wonder us sluts who just want to fuck guys, if you jerk your self off you don't want to fuck our CUNTS
upgrading charmain resolou
The sms doesn't work I tried
@Joan ----- Would you like watching me wank? Ill do it for you.
Like fuck the girl who close their mouth instead OF SWALLOWING THE JIZZ. What a waste of so many pretty mouth!!
Yes..the technique is to save up 3-days..then have the girl on her knees with her hands behind her back and hair pulled back and her face under your cock..and her mouth open..then release on her forehead first between her eyebrows so it drips down her nose..then sput the cum jets on her cheeks and lastly on her lips and tongue..then have clean up..the cock.
Angelina -- I'll shoot off in less time than bryan.

11:10 name please??? :P
I like soo much suck and drink cum and piss. Who whant give me this pleasure?
@swallowdammit: Different strokes I guess (no pun intended). I prefer facials myself.
FUCK! The best video ever made!!!
Angelina- When Lucky cums on your face, that will, no doubt, get me so hot, I will be cumming right after, adding to his handy work.
Since I jerk off at least once every day, I cannot ejaculate a big load at the time. However I prefer to shoot off a little every day, than a huge load only once a week. And it doesn't really matter how much it is, I'm wanking on my own. And I get a lot of pleasure out of it. All the other passionate wankers must feel the same.
do they come so much. is there a technique.
Lucky Wanker -- Ok, one after the other.
Angelina- I'll be there too, next to Lucky, jerking off and cumming on your face!
Angelina - I am rockhard and ready to cover your face with vanilla sauce.
Where is that man or rather these men, who would give me a facial right now? I adore it when these warm sperms run down my face, and to lick them off my lips is so good. Cum tastes like vanilla.
Don't really understand facials. As a sexual thrill, I mean. To each his own, of course, but it really comes down to a man jerking himself off into the air. If it is about fouling an angel, how can cumming on an angel's nose foul her more than cumming directly into her mouth and down her throat? Hey, whatever. But why opt for a facial when a girl is willing and eager to finish you off with a blowjob? For that matter, if a girl is willing and eager to finish you off with a blowjob, why would a man pull his dick out of her mouth and jerk himself off at all?
I am a little gay twink and those big studs can explode on my face like that anytime ! I had a straight stud roommate in college who had an 11 inch cock and he would let me me suck that gorgeous pole occasionally and he would blow huge thick loads like that all over my face- he could be in that video and be a star !!
There are some really thick healthy loads shot on this video clip
Lucky- 11:20 WAS impressive (or depressing if we are comparing). The very next guy wasn't bad either. But these are probably monks that haven't had a release since the late 80's. Not worth it. Better on a daily (or twice a day...or three) basis. We get to experience (though only in 2 dimensions) all our wildest fantasies with thousands of hot chicks!
@bryan I came back here again. Having read your comment sent to me I gave it also a try and ejaculated succesfully, unfortunately not as heavy as the fellow at 11.20.
Lucky- Top 20? That is VERY high marks from you. You've jerked off to the BEST. Thanks. I will get it a try.
Who's the girl at 6:48?
amazing cum shots
This video is on my Hitlist "Wankers top 20 Porns". Have a good jerk-off!!
Woud like to wank now, Can't! Too many people around. I'll try later. Hope I'll still feel like.
Welch ein Schuetzenfest. Da schiesse ich auch gleich mit. Ist ja toll!
a perfect invitation to a jerkoff. Thank you, I'll have one.
@ daniel ja stimmt hat sie mir auch gesagt, als ich sie neuliche geknallt hab
I love the girl at 5.30, she has such a lovely face, all cummed on too!
To see this faces smeared with slimy smelly juice swarming with little tadpoles is a big turn on to a juvenile cock.
mmm i love drink it.. some of them has big big big load, i'd like to taste it in my throat
Meine Freundin mag das auch.

You can add an object to obj.conf to dynamically monitor and control the nsfc.conf file cache while the server is running.
Add a NameTrans directive to the default object:
NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/nsfc" name="nsfc"
Add an nsfc object definition:
<Object name="nsfc"> Service fn=service-nsfc-dump </Object>
This enables the file cache control and monitoring function (nsfc-dump) to be accessed through the URI, "/nsfc." By changing the "from" parameter in the NameTrans directive, a different URI can be used.
The following is an example of the information you receive when you access the URI:
Sun Java System Web Server File Cache Status (pid 7960) The file cache is enabled. Cache resource utilization Number of cached file entries = 1039 (112 bytes each, 116368 total bytes) Heap space used for cache = 237641/1204228 bytes Mapped memory used for medium file contents = 5742797/10485760 bytes Number of cache lookup hits = 435877/720427 ( 60.50 %) Number of hits/misses on cached file info = 212125/128556 Number of hits/misses on cached file content = 19426/502284 Number of outdated cache entries deleted = 0 Number of cache entry replacements = 127405 Total number of cache entries deleted = 127407 Number of busy deleted cache entries = 17 Parameter settings HitOrder: false CacheFileInfo: true CacheFileContent: true TransmitFile: false MaxAge: 30 seconds MaxFiles: 1024 files SmallFileSizeLimit: 2048 bytes MediumFileSizeLimit: 537600 bytes CopyFiles: false Directory for temporary files: /tmp/netscape/https-axilla.mcom.com Hash table size: 2049 buckets
You can include a query string when you access the "/nsfc" URI. The following values are recognized:
?list: Lists the files in the cache.
?refresh=n: Causes the client to reload the page every n seconds.
?restart: Causes the cache to be shut down and then restarted.
?start: Starts the cache.
?stop: Shuts down the cache.
If you choose the ?list option, the file listing includes the file name, a set of flags, the current number of references to the cache entry, the size of the file, and an internal file ID value. The flags are as follows:
C: File contents are cached.
D: Cache entry is marked for delete.
I: File information (size, modify date, and so on) is cached.
M: File contents are mapped into virtual memory.
O: File descriptor is cached (when TransmitFile is set to true).
P: File has associated private data (should appear on shtml files).
T: Cache entry has a temporary file.
W: Cache entry is locked for write access.
For sites with scheduled updates to content, consider shutting down the cache while the content is being updated, and starting it again after the update is complete. Although performance will slow down, the server operates normally when the cache is off.

Back to top NemesisJoined: 29 Jan 2006Location: Shanghai Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2006 8:23 pm Post subject: The best place to get aquarium stuff (and an amazing variety of fish) is in Dongdaemun's pet district. I don't remember the exit, but just follow the road along the Chonge-chon (sp?) stream path and you'll see it. There's one shop there where the owner Sang-Mi speaks pretty good English. He'll set you up with everything you need and is able to deliver anywhere in Seoul. Even better (given the fact that many are here just for a year or two) he'll take back the stuff (little or no money back, I think, but free pickup, anyway), including the fish, when you're ready to leave. I bought a fully-kitted 42 gallon tank from him (including stand. gravel, filter, heater, fish, etc) for about W400,000. Given that I plan to stay here for another year, that works out to a rental of about W35,000/month. Not too shabby. He delivered it the same day, set it up for me (took him about an hour), added some chemicals, and it was ready for fish (South American cichlids) after about three hours of circulation. No problems at all with the fishies two months later -- very healthy! Go to Dongademun station, find the pet district (easy to find) and give him a call at 011-9892-6840 for specific directions to his shop.

My start in EMS began when I joined the Unity Volunteer Fire Department. My chief was Dennis Robinson. Dennis was so cool during the most devastating disasters. He never got excited. He was not only a fire chief, but a hazardous material specialist, rescue-certified in many fields and an EMT basic. When I completed my fire training, I wanted to be like Chief Robinson and learn everything I could about fire and EMS.
I was working on tugboats on the Intracoastal Waterway when we heard a call over the radio from the boat in front of us.
"Tug Royal engineer, my husband has fallen behind the wheel and is unconscious. I don't know what to do."
We pulled over to the boat and performed CPR on the man until the Coast Guard and Marine Corps helicopter arrived.
There is a 1-year-old child choking; what would you do to help? There is a 34-year-old man who collapses while walking; would you know what to do? These types of events can happen to anyone at any time. Do you know how to handle a situation of that kind?
I am a 26-year-old Hispanic man who loves to help anyone, no matter where they are from or who they are. When someone is in need of help, I want to be the one who can make a difference or even save his or her life.
When I was very young, I remember the day when my great aunt was extremely sick and EMS was called to her home. My mother, several other family members and I were with her. When EMS arrived, they were working diligently and tenaciously to help her in her time of need. I remember, even at a young age, how impressed I was with how they treated her and the family.
Finding my way to Lancaster County EMS was the result of a quick right turn into an EMS station one day while on a family reunion trip to my brother's home in Indian Land. Most paramedics have a curiosity about other EMS systems in areas they are visiting and I am no different. Usually I find a system that is woefully in need of better equipment, medical protocols and better personnel.
In 1976, my mother married my stepfather, Robert Johnson, who was an EMT and shift supervisor with Lancaster County EMS. During the next several years, I read all of his EMT and medical books, which gave me my initial interest in EMS.
I initially received my training as an EMT through the military while deployed during Desert Storm as a hospital corpsman in the Navy in 1991. I also volunteered with Bethune Rescue Squad. When Springs Industries plant in Kershaw began its reduction in the workforce, I sought and found full-time employment with Kershaw County EMS as an EMT. I advanced to the intermediate level and eventually became a paramedic/supervisor.
I became an EMT so that I could pay it forward. When I was 21, I had two small children and was a widow, due to a tragic accident. I don't remember a lot about the day my husband was killed, but the one thing that I do remember was an EMT held my hand, hugged my neck and stayed with me until my family got to hospital. The very same EMT came to the funeral to pay respect.
Three years later my, mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and died. Once again, I had another experience with another EMT.
In the fall of 2006, I was the stay-at-home mother of two boys – Matt, 12, and Mason, 4. With my youngest child starting kindergarten the following year, I felt it was time for me to think about going back to work. Most of my work experience was in retail, and frankly, I had no desire to return to it. This was a new opportunity to me, and I wanted a career – not just a job, but a career that would set a good example for my boys and make them proud of their mom.

Blippar, a London based startup, has just won 1st place in the TechWorld competition, in partnership with the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), meaning that the company has won the opportunity to show off its app at the Eureka Park TechZone at CES 2012 in Las Vegas.
So we thought we'd better take the app for a spin to see what all the fuss is about....
- Platform
- iOS & Android
- Price
- Free
- Where
- iTunes & Android Market
Blippar is an augmented reality app, which aims to make the mobile advertising arena a bit more fun, and to go a bit further than a QR code ever could.
The premise is fairly simple. Whenever you see the Blippar logo - whether that be on TV, in a newspaper or magazine, grocery product or even on a 40-foot billboard, you simply open up the app, and point your device's camera in the direction of the interactive ad.
You'll then be presented with a number of cool features, that sit - augmented reality-stylee - above the real world object. These features include digital apparitions such as buttons and controls that you can interact with on your screen and games that you can play which blur the lines between what is real and what is digital.
Pocket-lint was given a demo of the app in action at the CES Unveiled event in London and we have to say that we were mightily impressed with just how quick the augmented reality layers appeared (albeit on a Wi-Fi connection) and the ease that our iPhone's camera picked up the object that it was "blipping".
The most impressive demos were of a Heinz Ketchup bottle, which presented a book-like experience that unfolded from the label, a Waitrose cake advert, which turned the ingredients on the photo into a completed cake on our screen and an advert for a Samsung Galaxy S II which worked at such acute angles that the augmented reality handset looked as if it was dancing in mid-air.
The Blippar app is free and is available on both Android and iOS. Grab it now and blip your heart out....

Middle Managers: Engaging and Enrolling the Biggest Roadblock to Diversity and Inclusion
- Authors:
Publication Date:
April 2007
Diversity practitioners need to understand the position of middle managers, who are focused on preserving the status quo. The key to winning over middle managers is demonstrating that diversity and inclusion will contribute to goals. Getting middle managers on board is a change management process, and the five-phase process for getting middle managers effectively involved in the diversity process reflects that. Its steps include: influence, enroll, equip, monitor, and partner.

Avalanche to retire Foote's jersey
Denver, CO – The Colorado Avalanche will retire the jersey No. 52 of former defenseman Adam Foote some time next season.
The club announced the move on Friday, saying that the 41-year-old will become the fifth member of the exclusive club, joining Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, Patrick Roy and Ray Bourque as ex-players who have seen their jerseys raised to the rafters.
Foote last suited up two seasons ago, a campaign limited to 47 games due to a leg injury. He departed the league as the last remaining active player to have worn a Quebec Nordiques uniform.
Originally a second-round draft pick of Quebec back in 1989, Foote made his debut with the team in 1991 and spent his first 13 seasons with the franchise, including its relocation to Denver. After the lockout in 2004-05, he signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets and played there until he was traded back to the Avalanche on February 26, 2008 for draft picks.
Of the 1,154 NHL games in which he appeared, all but 187 of them were with the Nordiques/Avalanche franchise. He totaled 56 goals and 203 assists with Colorado, and appeared in more regular-season (967) and playoff games (170) than any defenseman in franchise history.
Foote served as Colorado captain in his final two seasons, and also won a Gold Medal in Salt Lake City during the 2002 Olympic Games as a member of Team Canada.
Prior to moving from Quebec City, the Nordiques retired the jerseys of Michel Goulet, Peter Stastny, Marc Tardif and J.C. Tremblay.

xkcd: Frequentists vs. Bayesians
guess which guy is David Berri.
guess which guy is David Berri.
November 11th, 2012 at 12:26 PM ^
"All statisticians use prior information in their statistical analysis. Non-Bayesians express their prior information not through a probability distribution on parameters but rather through their choice of methods. I think this non-Bayesian attitude is too restrictive, but in this case a small amount of reflection would reveal the inappropriateness of this procedure for this example."
David Berri is still the dude on the left.
November 12th, 2012 at 5:24 PM ^
I don't know what historical vindictive I'm wading into here but, honestly, this attack on Prof. Berri has me rather perplexed.
I'm a very proud, bleeding-blue Michigan alumnus, an avowed Bayesian and also a contributor to Dave Berri's Wages of Wins blog. In fact, I'm one of two really strong Bayesians that contribute to the site (the other has his own site titled "Bayesian of Wins").
While I wouldn't classify Dave as a Bayesian himself, he is very far from the religiously-blind Frequentist that Munroe depicts in his cartoon. Dave has welcomed our attempts to add some bayesian priors to his analysis (check out wagesofwins.com for some recent examples) and he never falls back on the absolutes of empirical analysis. His approach is more like "This is what the data seem to tell us. However, we should be careful not to over-extrapolate."
While it is most definitely essential not to look at empirical output without context, as Gelman points out above, you also can't ignore the empirical data. You can't even avoid it. You just have to make sure to put it in context. The Dave Berri that I know never shies away from this.


text: Latest News FAKE NEWS CNN claims Russia used "Pokémon Go" to meddle in US election LOL: Putin has weaponized Pokemon to subvert US democracy. Published 1 year ago on October 13, 2017 By Alex Christoforou 3,557 Views Share Tweet Just when you thought the Hillary Clinton concocted 'Russia election meddling' story could not get any more stupid, CNN outdoes itself. Never mind Russia dismantling America's democratic system with only $100,000 in Facebook ads, which did not even discuss the US election, Russia has now weaponized Pokemon. We can now expect to see Pokemon characters subpoenaed to testify in front of Congress. Exclusive: Russian-linked meddling effort extended to YouTube, Tumblr and even Pokémon Go https://t.co/Tw6WATNizC pic.twitter.com/bCvVYPKIki — CNN (@CNN) October 12, 2017 Via The Gateway Pundit… CNN broke an 'exclusive' story on Thursday in their desperate attempt to publish anything with the word 'Russians' in the title. CNN is now claiming the Russians meddled in the 2016 presidential election through Pokemon Go. How did we go from Trump colluded with the Kremlin to Pokemon ads? CNN claims… Russian efforts to meddle in American politics did not end at Facebook and Twitter. A CNN investigation of a Russian-linked account shows its tentacles extended to YouTube, Tumblr and even Pokémon Go. One Russian-linked campaign posing as part of the Black Lives Matter movement used Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr and Pokémon Go and even contacted some reporters in an effort to exploit racial tensions and sow discord among Americans, CNN has learned. The campaign, titled "Don't Shoot Us," offers new insights into how Russian agents created a broad online ecosystem where divisive political messages were reinforced across multiple platforms, amplifying a campaign that appears to have been run from one source — the shadowy, Kremlin-linked troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency. A source familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN that the Don't Shoot Us Facebook page was one of the 470 accounts taken down after the company determined they were linked to the IRA. CNN has separately established the links between the Facebook page and the other Don't Shoot Us accounts. The Don't Shoot Us campaign — the title of which may have referenced the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" slogan that became popular in the wake of the shooting of Michael Brown — used these platforms to highlight incidents of alleged police brutality, with what may have been the dual goal of galvanizing African Americans to protest and encouraging other Americans to view black activism as a rising threat. The Don't Shoot Us YouTube page, which is simply titled "Don't Shoot," contains more than 200 videos of news reports, police surveillance tape and amateur footage showing incidents of alleged police brutality. These videos, which were posted between May and December of 2016, have been viewed more than 368,000 times. All of these YouTube videos link back to a donotshoot.us website. This website was registered in March 2016 to a "Clerk York" in Illinois. Public records do not show any evidence that someone named Clerk York lives in Illinois. The street address and phone number listed in the website's registration belong to a shopping mall in North Riverside, Illinois. ***** The donotshoot.us website in turn links to a Tumblr account. In July 2016, this Tumblr account announced a contest encouraging readers to play Pokémon Go, the augmented reality game in which users go out into the real world and use their phones to find and "train" Pokémon characters. Specifically, the Don't Shoot Us contest directed readers to go to find and train Pokémon near locations where alleged incidents of police brutality had taken place. Users were instructed to give their Pokémon names corresponding with those of the victims. A post promoting the contest showed a Pokémon named "Eric Garner," for the African-American man who died after being put in a chokehold by a New York Police Department officer.

Published 16 hours ago on November 13, 2018 By Alex Christoforou US President Donald Trump was ridiculed for his nationalist agenda by the very unpopular, globalist French President Emmanuel Macron, in a very public display of disrespect towards the United States and its president. Macron, in front of world leaders brought together to commemorate the end of World War I, thought it wise to chastise Trump for his 'America first' policy, stating that nationalism was "tearing the world apart." Trump did find Macron's smart ass tone to his liking, tweeting out his feeling the minute he landed stateside by reminding his European peers who pays the bills to keep the peace on the continent. Just returned from France where much was accomplished in my meetings with World Leaders. Never easy bringing up the fact that the U.S. must be treated fairly, which it hasn't, on both Military and Trade. We pay for LARGE portions of other countries military protection,…….. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2018 …..hundreds of billions of dollars, for the great privilege of losing hundreds of billions of dollars with these same countries on trade. I told them that this situation cannot continue – It is, and always has been, ridiculously unfair to the United States. Massive amounts….. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2018 …..of money spent on protecting other countries, and we get nothing but Trade Deficits and Losses. It is time that these very rich countries either pay the United States for its great military protection, or protect themselves…and Trade must be made FREE and FAIR! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2018 The Duran's Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris reflect on Macron's diplomatic gaffe, which Trump is unlikely to forget anytime soon. Macron showed his boyish diplomatic skills, for which a man like Trump will make sure a heavy price is paid. The French President will certainly be at the receiving end of a very public and embarrassing dressing down at the hands of Donald Trump.

Via Zerohedge… What was supposed to be a solemn visit to honor the 16 million soldiers who died during World War I alongside a coterie of world leaders in Paris was overshadowed by a mini-scandal surrounding President Trump's missing an Armistice ceremony at an American military cemetery for purely cosmetic reasons (Trump reportedly didn't want to get his hair wet during the ceremony which was held in pouring rain, though the White House maintained that he missed the beginning of the ceremony for security purposes). Given the media's focus on Trump's purported vanity at the expense of nearly every other detail from Trump's visit, it's hardly surprising that the president has returned to the US rather agitated, and decided to lash out at his European partners in a series of tweets Monday morning. While he said that his meetings with fellow world leaders were productive, Trump noted that it's "never easy" to raise the issue that the US foots most of the bill for military protections in Europe thanks to its outsize shouldering of the cost burden of funding NATO. Adding insult to injury, the US is paying "hundreds of billions of dollars" for the privilege of "losing hundreds of billions of dollars" with these countries on trade. Trump demanded that, going forward, the US must be treated fairly on military spending and trade. It is time, Trump said, for these countries to either pony up, or find a way to start protecting themselves. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading Latest Midterm Elections: A Disaster Denied, and What is Coming The Democrats intend to mount a non-stopping offensive against the President. Published 1 day ago on November 13, 2018 By The Duran Authored by Jeremiah Johnson (nom de plume of a retired Green Beret of the United States Army Special Forces ) via SHTFplan.com: Before the 2016 Presidential Election, and both before and after the inauguration, I wrote specifically about how important the midterm election would be, and the results if the President should lose even one House of Congress. That happened: the Republicans just lost the House of Representatives. Now that the Democrats control it, not one piece of legislation will pass that is on the President's agenda. In the supreme act of denial, the Republican party claims the "Blue Wave" was not successful; even the President declared a "victory" with the midterms. Nothing could be further from the truth, on either count. The Democrats intend to mount a non-stopping offensive against the President. First, they are going to demand that Mueller go on the attack again. They are already demanding the President's tax returns. On Thursday, 11-8-18, thousands of people marched in Times Square in New York City in protest of Jeff Sessions' departure from the White House…although Sessions was the one who tendered a letter of resignation. The mob of protesters carried mass-produced "No one is above the law" placards and signs. Not one of those Marxists carried those signs when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton resigned after Benghazi, where a U.S. Consular Outpost of the United States was destroyed, and the U.S. Ambassador and four of his staff murdered. "Happy Veterans' Day" is coming up, with the cliché eternal: "Thank you for your service." Nobody really cares about it, except the vets. Those who have to work receive time and a half for their pay, and Hallmark makes about another $50 million or so on the cards and gifts…about $10 million of that for the Government to "re-ingest" with the taxes….another day on the endless cycle: The cycle of spending of disposable income, an indispensable part of the economy and all of the governmental employees on paid federal holiday, solemnly dispensed of at the expense of (to paraphrase Metallica) the government's "disposable heroes." Where were the protests in the streets after Benghazi? Everybody was hidden, because at the time we were under Obama. When Donald Trump was elected President, a "hiatus" was granted from the nonstop march toward socialism/communism that reached a zenith as never before. Now that hiatus is shrinking, as the Communists and Marxists begin new offensives under their playbook "Rules for Radicals," offensives targeting every area of the society. Their plan should be obvious: to keep the President "backpedaling" and the economy faltering, in order to set the stage for the 2020 election. All of this I have written about before, and it came to pass with the Midterm elections. If they keep the President on the defense and keep pushing the "social issues," it will render his administration ineffective…not delivering the change back toward the right that the voters wanted to see in 2016. The Wall Street Journal published a piece on November 9 entitled "Democrats plan to pursue most aggressive gun-control legislation in decades." They have been receiving plenty of help on this one, with the Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, and the recent murders by a former Marine last week. Here they come again! All of the legislators…with armed protectors paid for by you, mind you…clamoring for the guns. Here's a piece of it for you: Democrats say they will pass the most aggressive gun-control legislation in decades when they become the House majority in January, plans they renewed this week in the aftermath of a mass killing in a California bar. Their efforts will be spurred by an incoming class of pro-gun-control lawmakers who scored big in Tuesday's midterm elections, although any measure would likely meet stiff resistance in the GOP-controlled Senate. Democrats ousted at least 15 House Republicans with "A" National Rifle Association ratings, while the candidates elected to replace them all scored an "F" NRA rating. "This new majority is not going to be afraid of our shadow," said Mike Thompson, a California Democrat who is chairman of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. "We know that we've been elected to do a job, and we're going to do it." Now of course the argument to this rationale will be that the Senate is needed before a law passes. Yes, we all watched "Schoolhouse Rock" and learned about the three-party system of checks and balances. The problem? Nothing was accomplished when the Republicans held both houses of Congress, and the Reds and Blues counter one another, and more: The Democrats' strategy is not to pass any laws: it is to stir up public controversy, win support of the "Zero" generation, and either force actions through the "tyranny of the majority," or make it so horrible an arena that it detracts from or prevents any positive efforts and actions from the administration…setting the stage for the 2020 election. Ocasio-Cortez just entered the House of Representatives at the "sage/sagacious" age of 29, and she is a self-described "democratic socialist" who favors single-payer healthcare, gun control, abolishing border controls, and declared that she would support the impeachment of the President. She was also part of Bernie Sanders' campaign movement in 2016. Lenin espoused some "gems" that should be considered. Here is one that falls in line with the "newly discovered wonderful possibility of socialism" the Zero-generation and twenty-somethings have fallen in love with hook, line, and sinker: "The goal of socialism is communism." New York just placed a "democratic socialist" in the White House…a declared socialist, among all of the hidden Marxists camouflaged under the "progressive" or "democratic" monikers. Gun control, coming at us once again, and once more, a quote from Lenin for you: "Disarmament is the ideal of socialism. There will be no wars in socialist society; consequently, disarmament will be achieved. But whoever expects that socialism will be achieved without a social revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat is not a socialist. Dictatorship is state power based directly on violence. And in the twentieth century – as in the age of civilization generally – violence means neither a fist nor a club, but troops. To put "disarmament" in the program is tantamount to making the general declaration: "We are opposed to the use of arms." There is as little Marxism in this as there would be if we were to say: "We are opposed to violence!" – Lenin, "The Disarmament Slogan," from October of 1916 The next two years should be interesting, to say the least. Keep in mind: the President is not throwing in the towel, however, he has one more year to turn the tide…before he has to campaign. There is still another way, though: I mentioned it in the last article that I wrote. Bush Jr. used this technique successfully when he was trailing Kerry in the polls. Margaret Thatcher used this technique when she was about to be shown the door, and turned it around, remaining in office. The "technique" is a war, whether a "quickie" (such as the Falklands War…Malvinas, if you prefer), or a protracted one (Iraq "II" where victory was declared within months of started, and it was achieved…with the decades and a half of Military Industrial Complex contracts…and the transition of the United States into a Surveillance and Police State). The technique is a war, and if you keep abreast of what is going on, you will see that Russia and China are gearing up for a war, the nations are "decoupling" themselves incrementally from the dying fiat-backed Petrodollar, and North Korea is once again raising itself as a nuclear threat (on its own, or encouraged by one or more nations). A war could either suspend elections, or propel the incumbent into a victory based on the populace's perception of what they need. Remember this last quote from Lenin, and let it sink in good: "A standing army and police are the chief instruments of state power." – Lenin, State and Revolution, 1917 The ultimate truth: the elections are akin to the Stock Market, the Dow-Jones Industrial Average. It doesn't matter how many shares are bought or sold, as long as there are fluctuations and flux. The winners are the brokers, who pocket their commissions on every trade…a sell or a buy. The same exists here. The blue donkeys versus the red elephants. The "tribalism" of men, and their needs of a social order…a cohesive social grouping that reflects what they believe in…is exploited to its maximum advantage. All the while, the paradigm shifts almost imperceptibly, until before you know it….twenty years have elapsed, and you are not looking at the same country anymore. The "art" is to make the people think they will be getting what they want…dupe them into believing it is something good, when it's not. It took the blood of heroes to form and defend this nation. The downfall is precipitated by traitors from within…bleeding the nation white by circumventing existing laws and replacing them with the greatest injustice and threat to personal liberty of all. What is that greatest threat? A foreign enemy? A spontaneous collapse of everything? No. The greatest threat is the acceptance of the people of the illusion of "social justice," that really translates into something for nothing by taking from those who have earned, and giving it to those who live within the entitlement cesspool of their own sloth. Such a mentality pervades our society today. In order to save the United States, we have to return to our fundamental values and become an ass-kicking, straight-shooting people who fear God and care for their families, neighbors, and nation once more. If we do this, we may emerge from the coming night as a nation once more. Ready your NVGs, and steel your hearts for the challenge before it arrives…now…at the twilight's last gleaming. May Veterans' Day bring remembrance to your mind, may your heart find peace, and may any who serve in your family be safe and sound.

Continue Reading Latest Russia's Next Weapon: A Church The Russian military plans to build a military church to bolster the spiritual values of its armed forces. Published 1 day ago on November 13, 2018 By The Duran Authored by Michael Peck via The National Interest: Meet Vladimir Putin's newest weapon: a church. The Russian military plans to build a military church to bolster the spiritual values of its armed forces. Construction will soon begin of the Main Church of the Armed Forces, to be erected in Patriot Park outside Moscow, according to Colonel General Andrei Kartapolov, deputy defense minister and chief of the armed forces' Main Military-Political Directorate, a new organization responsible for political education of the troops. The "new church will be one more example of the people's unity around the idea of patriotism, love, and devotion to our Motherland," Kartapolov told Russian journalists. To say the church, dubbed by some as the "Khaki Temple," will have a martial air would be an understatement. "The walls of the military church are really made in the color of the standard Russian missile system and armored vehicle," according to the Russian newspaper The Independent [Google English translation here ] "…From the inside, the walls are decorated with paintings with battle scenes from military history and texts from the Holy Scriptures. The projected height is 95 meters [104 feet] and is designed for 6,000 people." "Kartapolov is convinced that the modern Russian serviceman cannot be shaped without shaping lofty spirituality in him," Russian media said. "Speaking about ideology, the deputy head of the military department pointed out that this will be based on knowledge of the history of our Motherland and people and on historical and cultural traditions." "Even though the Russian constitution states that 'no ideology may be established as state or obligatory,' the Kremlin continues to search for a unifying set of beliefs," notes the U.S. Army's Foreign Military Studies Office. Religion has long played a role in Russian military life, first through the Russian Orthodox Church in Tsarist times, and then—in a secular way—through Communism in Soviet times. "In late imperial Russia, when they began to build garrisons, every regiment sought to build a regimental church, but not a synagogue or mosque," Roger Reese, an historian at Texas A&M University who has written books on the Tsarist and Soviet armed forces, told the National Interest. "In Putin's Russia, the Orthodox Church seeks every opportunity to represent itself as the national religion and tie itself to the state as it had under the tsars, so this act represents continuity broken temporarily by the Soviet years. Of course the Soviet regime did not build churches for the army, but it did build the 'House of the Red Army,' shaped like a star, in Moscow dedicated to the use of the Red Army and its soldiers. In some respects it was analogous to a USO [United Service Organization that supports American soldiers] building. So Putin's dedicating one particular building to the use of the Russian Army soldiers for purposes of morale—and morals—is in line with that." While the thought of a military church will be distasteful to some, Russia is hardly unique in linking the military and religion. Many armies, the United States and Israel included, maintain chaplains who wear uniform and hold military rank. Chapels are common on military bases, and soldiers are given time for – and sometimes pressured to – attend religious services. While a Russian military church is likely to favor a specific denomination – Russian Orthodoxy – even that isn't unique: non-Christian members of the U.S. military have complained of religious discrimination , especially by Christian fundamentalists. What's interesting is how little things change. Be it the Tsar's conscripts, or the Red Army's draftees or the volunteers who comprise much of modern Russia's military, some spiritual reinforcement is deemed necessary to get soldiers to fight.

Gjermund Braaten took over the scene by storm over the past years.
Born as the oldest brother of three, the 1990 born started his snowboard career in his backyard. He got a snowboard for Christmas and ever since went to the local resorts one to two times a week.
In addition, he took advantage from the possibilities the NTG Geilo school, which he attended, offered.
This sport school allows young kids to follow their passion, to travel and snowboard a lot; a fact which definitely played a major role for developing a unique and smooth style which is best on slopestyle courses.
No matter which feature he hits, Gjermund has the ability to make the hardest tricks look easy.
In 2008, the Nike 6.0 team rider, who is also into skateboarding and soccer, launched his career in Saas-Fee. Gjermund did so well that his impressed coach called Norway's Burton team manager Christian Thoresen who immediately hooked him up.Ever since, this young kid showed his talents at several World Cups placing several times on the podium so far.

Natural gas futures surged nearly 3 percent on bullish supplies data Thursday to reach an intraday high of $4.335 per million BTUs, the highest price for a front-month contract since July 2011.
The U.S. Energy Department reported natural gas supplies rose by 31 billion cubic feet last week, the first increase in storage so far this year. Still, the supply increase fell short of analysts' expectations and was also lower than the five-year average.
Tim Evans, energy futures specialist at CitiFutures, said that the natural gas supply data "was supportive relative to consensus expectations, suggesting a slower tapering off of heating demand than had been anticipated."

The powerful accomplishments the Special Olympics program has created worldwide is wonderful. It allows special needs individuals the ability to overcome struggles and attain success within various sporting events. These opportunities have been excellent ways of showing these athletes how spectacular they are during and outside Special Olympics sporting events.
The powerful accomplishments the Special Olympics program has created worldwide is wonderful. It allows special needs individuals the ability to overcome struggles and attain success within various sporting events. These opportunities have been excellent ways of showing these athletes how spectacular they are during and outside Special Olympics sporting events.
Special Olympics events have always been quite popular filled with enormous amount of support within Davidson County, which is why Lexington City Schools is looking forward to being the next two years' host. A committee has been made up of various central office officials, LCS staff and even a select group of students targeted to maintain youth support and involvement from the schools. Working hard behind the scenes since September, the committee has put together a theme, raised money, gained school club involvement and is nearing the completion of all the final details before preparation for the event, which is May 3.
The theme for this year will be "Superhero!" While many other possible themes were discussed, overwhelming evidence proved this year was meant to be the year the talented athletes around the county may "embrace their inner superhero."
Upon settling in on the theme, the committee offered an art competition to students and staff interested in designing this year's T-shirt. Nearly 30 art designs were submitted to the committee. After analyzing each one carefully, two were selected to be incorporated in the official T-shirt design.
The school is pleased with the excitement and effort already being shown by its student body. Upon first hearing the school would be hosting, students eagerly inquired about how to be an athlete's buddy. Clubs jumped right on to establishing village activities (exciting surprises are planned for the athletes within Olympic Village to correspond with the theme), and teachers have looked into ways their students may be an asset to the production.
Such high morale within the school has had committee member Josey Parker, a junior at Lexington Senior High, say, "I thoroughly enjoy the excitement the student body has begun to show. Numerous people come up to me every day asking about how they can get involved or help out with the Special Olympics. It is simply so wonderful seeing everyone within my school coming together for such a great cause."
This is an extraordinary moment for Lexington City Schools to continue showing their dedication to the community. Even Superintendent Rick Kriesky, who will partake in the opening ceremony, is just as excited as the students and staff at Lexington. In a letter, he notes, "Hosting the countywide Special Olympics is a wonderful honor and a great opportunity for Lexington Senior High School and Lexington City Schools. The athletes competing in these games deserve and will receive tremendous support from our students and staff. In addition, I am very proud of our student-led steering committee. These high school students are providing the vision and leadership to insure a positive and memorable experience for each athlete."
A great amount of planning has been put forth by Lexington's committee and school in efforts to ensure a delightful experience for athletes. The long-term planning will reflect come event time. This is looking to be one of the best Special Olympics events this county has seen in a while, and everyone is excitedly preparing to cheer on the athletes.

So, I decided to play around with making some custom capes. I tried out the printer fabric and that seemed to work pretty good, there were a couple of things I need to tweak. First, the colors are more washed out on fabric than they are on paper. The reds turned more pinkish than I wanted to, so I need to tweak that a bit. The brown on the forestman cape also came out a bit washed out, so I need to play around with that a bit.
The fabric comes in 8.5 x 11 sheets, and I was curious at how much the ink would bleed through to the other side. It doesn't actually, so you wind up with printing on one side of the cape, and the back is left white with no real way to feed it back through the printer. I also didn't like that the fabric was much more flimsy than the LEGO official capes once you pulled it off the backing paper. So, I tried gluing two halves together and it seemed to solve both problems. I now have printing on both sides, and the glue makes the capes much more rigid like the official ones. The glue also seemed to help prevent some of the fraying when you cut them out. The only drawback is you essentially only get half as many capes per sheet.
Anyway, comments and suggestions are certainly welcome as well as any questions.

How To Make Classic French Madeleines
Madeleines. That little French butter cake that most (non-French) people think of more as a cookie. They have a classy, literary reputation, having served as Proust's muse in his famous Remembrance of Things Past. Like most muses, however, madeleines appear to be simple but actually require a fair amount of patience and careful following of instructions. In the end, though, you are rewarded with a truly unique little cake, browned and crispy on the outside and spongy and soft on the inside. A perfect accompaniment to your afternoon cup of tea.
I don't think madeleines are for the inexperienced cook. They are a little tricky and need a fair amount of confidence to turn out just right. That said, I've tried to cover all the small details in this recipe so even if you're a fairly new cook, you can certainly still give these a try.
In this classic recipe, you would normally brown the butter slightly to add nuttiness. But browning butter just right can be challenging as it can quickly turn from nutty to burnt. If you're not confident with this skill, simply melt the butter and skip the browning part. Your madeleines will still be delicious.
Another barrier for making madeleines is that you need specific equipment, namely the scallop shell pans to bake them in, which is something most newer cooks don't usually have around. It's worth it to check around with your friends and family to see if someone has the pans to borrow. You can also pick them up at garage sales and they are available online though places like Amazon and Sur le Table. Try to get two as most recipes will make 2 dozen and it's a drag to have to wash and rebutter the pans between baking sessions. It also really helps to have a pastry brush to coat the pans with the butter and flour mixture.
I'm offering the classic lemon-scented madeleines here, but they do come in many flavors. Chocolate, rose, vanilla, lavender, and orange are all popular versions. Some people add mini chocolate chips and some people add a glaze, but I prefer them simple and straightforward.
Madeleines are delicious when eaten just from the oven and cooled until barely warm. They will keep for a day or two in an airtight container, but will start to lose that nice crisp texture after awhile. It's not the end of the world if this happens, but there is a reason those fancy restaurants used to send people home with fresh-from-the-oven madeleines: they are simply at their best when super fresh.
Many recipes say that the colder the dough is kept, the more likely it is that the madeleine will form the classic "bump" on the back. I experimented with freezing one baking tray and not freezing the other, and found that the madeleines baked on the unfrozen tray had a significantly smaller bump. So if that feature is important to you, be sure to freeze the pans and then get the filled pans in the oven right away. You can even go so far as to freeze the already filled pans for about 10 minutes before placing immediately in the oven.
The recipe below is loosely based on one from Julia Child. Like many madeleine recipes, it takes a slightly unusual approach in that you mix the flour, sugar, and eggs first and add the melted butter last. (In most baling, the butter is usually creamed with the sugar, then the eggs are added and the flour stirred in last.) The batter also needs to rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour to chill and hydrate the four. You can leave it for longer than that, even overnight.
How to Make Classic French Madeleines
Makes 24 madeleines
What You Need
4 oz
(1 stick), plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup
white sugar
1 cup
all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
large eggs
1 teaspoon
of salt
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
1 tablespoon
lemon zest
Powdered sugar (optional)
- Equipment
Small sauce pan
Small bowl
medium-sized mixing bowls
Measuring cups and spoons
madeleine pans
Pastry brush
Small sieve for dusting with powdered sugar, optional
Melt the butter. Melt the butter in a small sauce pan. If you feel you can get it slightly toasty brown, go right ahead and do so by leaving it to bubble in the pan until it smells toasty and starts to color. Just remember that the butter will turn very quickly from toasty to burnt and that it will continue to color after it is off the heat unless you pour it into a new container. Spoon 3 tablespoons of butter into a small bowl or cup and set aside. Let the rest of the butter cool slightly.
Prepare the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients in separate bowls.In a medium bowl, whisk together one cup of the flour and the sugar, and set aside. In another medium bowl, whisk the two eggs with the vanilla, salt, lemon juice, and lemon zest until the eggs are frothy.
Combine the dry and wet ingredients. Add the eggs to the flour. Using a spatula, stir until just combined. Add the 4 ounces of melted butter and continue to stir. It may take a minute for the butter to blend into the mixture but do not over mix.
Rest the batter. Cover the bowl with a plate (or plastic wrap) and place in the refrigerator to rest at least one hour and up to overnight.
Prepare the pans. Add the remaining one tablespoon of flour to the 3 tablespoons reserved butter and stir to combine. Using a pastry brush, brush the interiors of the shells with the butter-flour mixture so that they are well coated. Place the pans in the freezer for at least an hour.
Preheat the oven and fill pans. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the batter from the refrigerator and one pan from the freezer. Fill each well in the madeleine pan with 1 tablespoon of the batter. Remove the other pan and fill in the same way.
Bake the madeleines. Place both pans on a baking sheet for easy handling and place in the oven. Check after 8 minutes and rotate plans. Check again 5 minutes later. The madeleines should be browning around the edges and puffed up a little in the middle. Using your forefinger, press lightly on the center hump -- when the madeleines are finished baking, it should spring back at your touch.
Cool and dust with sugar. Remove the madeleines from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Using a fork, gently loosen the madeleines from their molds and then tip the whole pan out onto a cooling wrack or tea towel. Once cool, dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve. If you are freezing or storing the madeleines, do not dust with the sugar until you are about to serve.
To store. Store cooled madeleines in an airtight container for a few days or freeze them in a double wrapping of plastic wrap for several months. Let the cakes defrost before dusting with sugar.

It's March Madness and no one braces harder for the madness than your employer.
Unlike the Super Bowl, where there's one game on a Sunday, there are 67 games in the NCAA men's college basketball playoffs, many during the day. What's more, there are more women who follow the madness compared to other sporting events as many remain loyal to their alma mater.
A whopping 86 percentof employees said they plan to follow some of the tournament while at work, according to an early-2012 survey from MSN, and that's up 5 percent from last year.
Whether it's filling out your brackets, sneaking a peek at scores or watching a game at work, it can be a real time suck.
But if you're a boss, remember one thing: Resistance is futile.
Not only do a lot of people have skin in the game, cheering for their college team, but March Madness comes right at the end of winter, when everyone has cabin fever and is looking for a good distraction. Add to that the added strain of the recession — those who still have jobs are likely overworked and underpaid — and you've got a perfect storm for March Madness at work. Not to mention a little thing called technology.
"You can't stop this," said Michael Crom, the chief learning officer at the Dale Carnegie Institute, a corporate training organization. "You're living with smartphones and tablets. If people want to, they can tune in."
March Madness on Demand, the live steaming site for the tournament, even has a "boss button" that turns your screen into a faux spreadsheet or work email. So when the boss comes by it looks like you're doing work!
Here's the Boss Button in action:
Instead of fighting it, Crom said, bosses should embrace March Madness as a way to boost employee morale and, as a result, productivity.
"There's a real opportunity here with March Madness," Crom said. "But the trick is you can't let it take over the entire day. You have to create balance."
"Office pools are a good thing. Games on company TVs in lunch rooms, break rooms, etc. — also a good thing. Being able for employees to stream games onto their PC? Not so good," said Chris Kurpeikis, the vice president of sales for B2B Computer Products, about trying to find the balance for his sales team.
The Dale Carnegie office in Washington, D.C., got out front of the madness by posting the Washington Post's viewer's guide to the day's gameson the company's Facebook page. So instead of having employees sneaking scores and watching clips of games, it's a one-stop shop and a big time saver. Not to mention, if you're not that into college basketball but want to be part of the conversation, a quick cheat sheet like that can be a good primer to make you sound smart in the conversation!
Allowing March Madness in the workplace "can build camaraderie. It gives people something in common to talk about and it's a great opportunity to increase employee engagement by bringing this out into the open," Crom said.
A recent survey from Quantum Workplaceshowed employee engagement at some of the best companies to work for was at about 67 percent. For other companies, that drops to about 30 percent, Crom said.
So if you can find a common thread like college basketball that gets employees jazzed up, it can be good for morale — and productivity.
"Employee engagement is the secret sauce that separates winners from losers in today's talent economy," said Greg Harris, president of Quantum Workplace. "The uptick in engagement is good for individual companies, and it's good for our overall economy."
"You're focusing that energy as opposed to driving it into the ground," Crom said.
So there you have it, embracing March Madness at the office (within reason) is not only good for productivity, it's good for the economy!

Crushed Ego
I just downloaded a great new app for my iPod Touch by Garret Murray called "Ego". I've heard some really good things about it, so I decided to download it a take it for a spin. I'll just say this, it's a great app. It looks great, and adding widgets couldn't be easier.
Seeing as this is the first blog post I've written in quite some time, it's needless to say that I'm now depressed, as the numbers I'm seeing are very sad. :( Not that I'm making excuses, but this site has definitely taken a back seat to my daughter and my full time job at Google. Hopefully in the near future, I'll be able to show some dedication to this site, and start writing again. In the meantime, go download this app. Regardless of the numbers you see, it's worth the $1.99.
