Future of Transport: Commission stages conference in Brussels to discuss scenarios for the next 40 years
Policy makers and top managers of the most important transport operators, manufacturers and logistic companies will gather in Brussels on 9-10 March at a conference convened by Vice President Tajani to discuss the future challenges for the transport sector and kick off the preparation of the 2010 White Paper on the Future of Transport Policy.
"Transport is in a crucial transition period. We need to look beyond the current crisis and understand that innovation and technological development, globalisation, sustainability, and the saturation of infrastructures call for a profound transformation in the way the transport system operates. We have to rethink our concept of mobility and for this reason I would like to engage all main actors into a common reflection with the ultimate goal to prepare in 2010 the next White Paper on the future of transport policy," said Vice-President Antonio Tajani, responsible for transport.
Alongside stakeholders, and policy-makers, academics and representatives of Member States, European Institutions and NGOs have been invited to the conference to contribute their vision. There will be four workshops focussing on urban, freight and passenger transport and on the challenges of sustainable mobility, chaired by former Commission Vice-President and Transport Commissioner Karel Van Miert, former DG TREN Director General Robert Coleman, and the head of Vice-President Tajani's cabinet, Antonio Preto. Speakers include some of the most important European CEOs of transport companies such as Mr. Spinetta (Air France), Mr. Moretti (Ferrovie dello Stato), Mr. Grimaldi (Grimaldi Group), Mr. Lacny (JMJ-TRANS) and mayors of various European cities, including Mr. Demszky, Major of Budapest that recently won the European Mobility Week.
The discussions are meant to help the Commission draft a Communication on the Future on Transport, to be adopted in June 2009, preparing the ground for the 2010 White Paper, which will include a set of ambitious policy measures to tackle the long term challenges of transport policy.

Neusaess, 3rd February 2012
Dear Competitors,
The year 2012 will bring us a new era of competitive dancing for WDC Professionals. As you all know, the WDC has signed an agreement with WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) that all Competitors have to adhere to the rules of antidoping. The aim of the anti doping policy is-
First, that all competitors have an equal opportunity to compete against their fellow competitors not giving anybody a chance to have an advantage through doping and-
Second, and I feel this is more important, to protect the health of the competitors. Doping is dangerous for your health and can be deadly. Seemingly harmless or less dangerous drugs that help to lose weight are proven to be life shortening! When you are young and hungry for success this might not bother you too much. But when the time comes, you will think different. There is also a life after competing. Testing will start in the second half of the year 2012. The best way to prepare yourself for an eventual test is, to be careful which kind of medicine you take or is described to you by the doctor. Inform your doctor that you are under the WADA anti doping code.
Check the WDC website for the list of prohibited drugs. If you take food supplements, check first that they are clean. If in doubt, contact the company making the supplements to find out if you can take them.
Therapeutical Exemptions.
Sometimes it will be necessary for your doctor to prescribe not allowed medicines that you need to cure your illness. If possible, contact the Therapeutical Exemptions Commissions doctor: Dr. Andreas Schwab, Tel.0049 173 362 72 36, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com , before you take the medicine to obtain an exemption.
If this is not possible because of urgency, the latest you have to inform Dr. Schwab or myself Rudi Trautz, tel 0049 151 291 353 16, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, directly after you have taken the prescribed medicine in order to get a permission.
Most countries have a NADA (National Anti Doping Agency). Whether your national NADA will be involved in testing is up to your WDC member. At the moment we deal only with WDC Championships.
Just remember, healthy food and extra exercise are much better for your fitness, health, looks and your results in competitions.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me any time (hopefully not between midnight and 8 in the morning). I will be happy to help you with any question or problem you have.
Happy New Year to you!!
Rudi Trautz

I have a bash alias for this command line and find it useful for searching C code for error messages. The -H tells grep to print the filename. you can omit the -i to match the case exactly or keep the -i for case-insensitive matching. This find command find all .c and .h files Show Sample Output
Aureport is a tool for displaying auditd system log. -x options cause to display launched executable on system. Aureport work with auditd so auditd must be installed an running on a system. Tested on CentOS / Debian Show Sample Output
Please take notice that if you are going to use an JPG file for shadow effect, let change -background none to -background white! Because -background none make a transparent effect while JPG doesn't support transparent! And when viewing, you will get a bacl box! So we will use an white background under! We can use other color as well!
rotate: the rotate angle
width, $height: width and height to scale to
birghtness: change brighness
The colors are defined as variables. e.g. RED="\[\033[01;31m\]" BLUE="\[\033[01;34m\]" Show Sample Output
Runs an instance of screen with name of "name_me" and command of "echo "hi"" To reconnect to screen instance later use: screen -r name_me
While I love gpg and truecrypt there's some times when you just want to edit a file and not worry about keys or having to deal needing extra software on hand. Thus, you can use vim's encrypted file format. For more info on vim's encrypted files visit: http://www.vim.org/htmldoc/editing.html#encryption Show Sample Output
This prints a summary of your referers from your logs as long as they occurred a certain number of times (in this case 500). The grep command excludes the terms, I add this in to remove results Im not interested in. Show Sample Output
I use this (well I normally just drop the F=*.log bit and put that straight into the awk command) to count how many times I get referred from another site. I know its rough, its to give me an idea where any posts I make are ending up. The reason I do the Q="query" bit is because I often want to check another domain quickly and its quick to use CTRL+A to jump to the start and then CTRL+F to move forward the 3 steps to change the grep query. (I find this easier than moving backwards because if you group a lot of domains with the pipe your command line can get quite messy so its normally easier to have it all at the front so you just have to edit it & hit enter). For people new to the shell it does the following. The Q and F equals bits just make names we can refer to. The awk -F\" '{print $4}' $F reads the file specified by $F and splits it up using double-quotes. It prints out the fourth column for egrep to work on. The 4th column in the log is the referer domain. egrep then matches our query against this list from awk. Finally wc -l gives us the total number of lines (i.e. matches). Show Sample Output
there is no explicit find command in DOS you can create a batch file with this one and find all jpegs on the C drive ...
note: if creating a batch file "find.bat" the syntax changes to:
for %%f in (c) do dir %%f:\%1 /s /p
you can then use
find *.jpg
Show Sample Output
It's like `prstat -t` under Solaris Show Sample Output
Reads in the ~/.Xdefaults lexicographically sorted with, instead of replacing, the current contents of the specified properties.
Since bash 4.0, you can use ** to recursively expand to all files in the current directory. This behaviour is disabled by default, this command enables it (you'd best put it in your .profile). See the sample output for clarification. In my opinion this is much better than creating hacks with find and xargs when you want to pass files to an application. Show Sample Output
You can use this on your session login.
Simple but useful command, I use this for purge an hard disk entry in Virtualbox registry file (is in ~user/.Virtualbox) that persist if I erase a Virtual Machine, so I need to delete it manually.
This is the alias command that I discussed in my prior release which you can add to your ~/.bashrc. This command asks for the station name and then connects to somafm, Great for those who have linux home entertainment boxes and ssh enabled on them, just for the CLI fiends out there ( I know I'm one of them ;) You can find future releases of this and many more scripts at the teachings of master denzuko - denzuko.co.cc.
This is a working version, though probably clumsy, of the script submitted by felix001. This works on ubuntu and CygWin. This would be great as a bash function, defined in .bashrc. Additionally it would work as a script put in the path. Show Sample Output
This command might not be useful for most of us, I just wanted to share it to show power of command line. Download simple text version of novel David Copperfield from Poject Gutenberg and then generate a single column of words after which occurences of each word is counted by sort | uniq -c combination. This command removes numbers and single characters from count. I'm sure you can write a shorter version. Show Sample Output
This command is useful if you accidentally untar or unzip an archive in a directory and you want to automatically remove the files. Just untar the files again in a subdirectory and then run the above command e.g.
for file in ~/Desktop/temp/*; do rm ~/Desktop/`basename $file`; done
Retrieve the current stock price from Yahoo Finance. The output is simply the latest price (which could be delayed). If you want to look up stock for a different company, replace csco with your symbol. Show Sample Output
The nl command lists the contents of a file where is each line is prefixed by a line number. For more information about this command, check out its man page. I tested under Mac OS X and Xubuntu 9.04
commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.

NASCAR Pins Hopes On Pocono
Nothing will do more to quiet the roar from the fans and the media about the tire problems at Indy than a great Pocono race on Sunday.
ESPN has all the heavy-hitters ready to go and will open the day with a one hour edition of NASCAR Now at 10AM ET on ESPN2. Either Nicole Manske or Ryan Burr will anchor, with Allen Bestwick present on the Infield Studio Set in Pocono.
Last week, this program was very effective in setting the table for racing and outstanding in content. As ESPN VP of Motorsports Rich Feinberg related earlier this season, the network will be using all of the on-air announcers assigned to these events to support programs like NASCAR Now this year. The change has been very good.
NASCAR RaceDay is up next on SPEED at 11AM. John Roberts hosts the two hour show, with Jimmy Spencer and Kenny Wallace alongside. This week the show will have a whole lot of guests for a whole lot of reasons.
NASCAR President Mike Helton will be along, as will Bob Owen from Sunoco and Tom Foley from the American Red Cross. This race is focused on a charity blood drive and Foley will speak to that issue. In terms of NASCAR folks, Kasey Kahne, AJ Allmendinger and Jimmy Elledge will be on the show.
Wendy Venturini will be having fun this weekend as she will have her regular Real Deal segment and will also be talking with the one and only Kiefer Sutherland. He will be on-hand as the Grand Marshal of the race and also to plug his latest movie. It should be interesting to see how much he knows about NASCAR.
Next-up is NASCAR Countdown on ESPN at 1PM. Allen Bestwick will lead this show alongside Brad Daugherty and Rusty Wallace. This is their first opportunity to address the Indy issues of last week and also to update the happenings in Montreal. Wallace was present for that race and worked in the booth with Randy LaJoie.
Race coverage of the Sprint Cup Series from Pocono will start at 2PM on ESPN. Dr. Jerry Punch, Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree will handle the action from the broadcast booth. Down on pit road will be Dave Burns, Shannon Spake, Mike Massaro and Jamie Little. Massaro is just back from Montreal, where he hosted the pre-race show and also reported from the very wet pits. As usual, Tim Brewer will be in the Tech Center.
ESPN is making sure that Bestwick and company will remain a part of these telecasts, so viewers should look for him to host the race recaps and take control of the live program coming out of commercial breaks to facilitate some discussions. The on-air dynamic between Punch and Bestwick is always interesting to watch, especially when Punch returns to calling the race. After the event, ESPNEWS will be live with the post-race interviews from the Media Center as they have all season long.
Victory Lane on SPEED airs at 8PM. Last week, Spencer and Kenny Wallace were quite emphatic in their views about the Indy events. It led to this column and the corresponding comments from NASCAR fans. It should be very interesting to see how the show plays-out this week.
The second edition of the new one hour Sunday night version of NASCAR Now is on at 10PM. This program is a very good wrap-up show for all the activity of the weekend and ESPN uses the resources at the track to add to the content of this studio-based program. Nicole Manske or Ryan Burr will host.
Speaking of of NASCAR Now, viewers should keep an eye out for the Monday roundtable show at 5PM. This week, another theme show will put all four of the ESPN pit reporters on the set along with Bestwick as the host. It should finally be a good snapshot of the real personalities of these four and a test of how they interact away from pit road.
Monday on This Week in NASCAR at 8PM on SPEED the "odd couple" is back. Chad Knaus joins Michael Waltrip and host Steve Byrnes to recap Pocono. Knaus has really found his stride on this show with the encouragement of Byrnes and when Knaus and Waltrip get going on a topic the results can be unintentionally hilarious.
This post will host your comments about the early NASCAR TV programs and there will be a new post up for the Sprint Cup race at Noon ET. To add your opinion, just click on the COMMENTS button. The rules for posting are located on the right side of the main page. Thanks for taking the time to stop by The Daly Planet.

Well, I guess since ESPN appears to have stopped wasting television time interviewing celebrities SPEED is taking up the slack.
Don't they understand we don't care one bit about what some movie star has to say? If you don't have enough racing programming to fill two hours then cut it down to an hour and a half or something.

Why did NN start their show with a preview of Pocono when ESPN carried the "historic" (or maybe hysteric) race in the rain yesterday and they are not even mentioning it. Shades of TWIN here.

With your inside information do you know how Hotpass chooses which drivers they cover? Is it sponser driver? Also, I am sure there aren't any ratings for Hotpass, but do you know any numbers on it? How many people subscribe, watch etc?
Personally I think Hotpass is great, brings out a new dimension in race coverage if you are interested in certain drivers versus the whole race picture.

Just finished watching the interview by N. Manske with R.Newman, on NN. Again, she knew just how far to go and or push to get the answer needed to make it a good interview. Manske and Bestwick really have changed NASCAR Now to a show that is a pleasure to watch.

bill h-
I actually think HotPass increases the whole race coverage. If one of the HotPass guys is within a couple of spots of the driver you want to follow you'll get more info than the regular broadcast. Most of the time that's how I use it.

Have to agree about Nicole. I thought she would do a good job at ESPN and I'm glad she has. Although I do miss her "appearance" on Speed Report ;)

I also agree about Nichole, and good for her getting the RN interview.
It will be interesting to see how the dynamic on RD changes without Jimmy for this week.

What a wild day of NASCAR TV so far.
Think ESPN has decided that Montreal now does not exist?
HotPass drivers are chosen by Chris Long and his DirecTV staff from what I understand.
I just missed the RN interview with Nicole, what did she do with him?

Amen & Amen! I really hate the "celebrity spots" there are to many drivers who get no time in the sun (so to say) too many stories to be told. Leave the celebs to TMZ.
Nice to see the AJ & Elledge spot, please more stuff like that. There are probably "casual" fans who think theres only maybe 10 crew cheifs in NA$CAR.

First, I am sorry about Jimmy's mom. My condolences to him, and his family.
Second, enjoyed the interview with AJ but what is the deal with him being the hot interview and being asked about getting out while Mike S drove ...I have heard this two or three times this week. Yes, good PR person...I like seeing one of the non top 12 guys interviewed.
Third, PROOF That NASCAR Race Day needs to go BACK to one hour..the repeat of NASCAR Confidential?
Fourth, I have zero, zip, zilch, nada interest in Kiefer Sutherland!!
One hour, less minutia imo.

Wendys real deal notes
Chad thinks "true" race fans get it? (re: Indy tire fiasco) Yup NA$CAR & Goodyear blew it Chad. Do not speak down to fans Chad it does not suit you well.
They have had 8 years of developement and Blew It Big Time.
She had a pretty good recap of the mess & its fall out.
More cars from each manufacturer at the tests.
Nice spot about the mess last week.

Not that I expected much. But they did not say much about the race at Montreal. But then again, I did not expect them to be critical of the TV coverage either.

Hermie seems like a good guy, the drivers/crews are happy to talk to him on camera. He is a nice fit for Speed and doing a good job filling in for Jimmy.

Is it me or has anyone else noticed the lack of yelling today on RD? Seems calmer. Or is it just me.

It's a little quieter but I would expect that with the death Jimmy's mom. JR and Kenny both knew her and she was a big part of Jimmy's life, not to mention his family lives near by and they were all possibly planning a visit (remember the junk yard races). It sort of puts a damper on things.

First of all, I MISSED NPerf this week. Wah!!!
Ok, feel better.
Re: Nicole Manske...I never see her much recently, I NEVER watch Sun NN...just can't take "trying" to watch more pre-race. I must say I have truly enjoyed her this year on ESPN and personally, I prefer her daily on NN over Ryan...less hyper, more laid back and converasational (real) in her style.
Sorry to miss her if she is always on the Sun AM stuff.
Red, hope you enjoyed the race!
Kiefer is on to PROMOTE a FOX SHOW 24. and their actor and his agenda. Rolls eyes.

Sophia - even though you do not like Kiefer and I have no problem with that - and you are absolutely correct that he is there to promote - well enuff said.
He is also the Grand Marshall of todays race. Yes I looked it up so you wouldn't have to.

On Raceday they talked a bit about the problems of the race last week at Indy. They talked about how the Teams, Goodyear, Nascar, Crew Chiefs, Drivers all worked together to work with the problem. One thing I have not seen on any of these shows is interviews with the fans that were there. Would have been interesting to hear what the fans had to say.
Were the fans happy with the race and liked how the race was run? Did the fans think they got their monies worth? Will they be back next year?
I wonder why the fans opinion was not part of a telecast.

Hey guys - you ever wonder if the track makes the networks have the grand marshal on their race coverage? The track controls the network access so maybe they ask the network to get the grand marshal on and the network gets something in return.

Makes no sense as Kiefer Sutherland does his show for Fox - perhaps the movie was made by Disney - don't know. ESPN is owned (obviously) by Disney.

Mirrors was made by Regency Rnterprises and their movies are distributed by 20th century Fox.

I think the AJ Allmendinger "placement" is coming about imply because the networks covering NASCAR are realizing he is a very, very personable and funny guy on TV. He's always been that way. And unlike many of his young peers, he says exactly what is on his mind.
He has written a couple of blogs for yahoo.com, including one this week. He comes across as a regular guy, like when he describes his "man-crush" on Brett Favre and how he's worried about keeping his job with Red Bull next year.
Perhaps the producers of the pre-race shows are reading those recent blogs and responding to that,since AJ has a good chance of getting back into the top 35 soon and had a top 10 at the Brickyard.
I'm just glad to see some different Cup drivers interviewed on my TV screen for once. No complaints here.

sorry, meant to say "I think the AJ Allmendinger "placement" is coming about SIMPLY because the networks covering NASCAR are realizing he is a very, very personable and funny guy on TV."
It appears many people don't remember it, but Kiefer Sutherland did a fantastic job narrating the NASCAR 3D IMAX film four or five years ago.

Keiffer interview wasn't bad at least he knew the drivers name and numbers which is better than a lot of the celebrity interviews.

I am jumping over to the other in-progress thread!

Rep. Justin Wood files bill requiring state superintendent to hold regional meetings.
State Rep. Justin F. Wood of Shawnee has filed legislation requiring the state superintendent to participate in regional meetings to facilitate his or her communication with education stakeholders throughout Oklahoma.
House Bill 1518 would require the state superintendent to conduct and personally participate in regional meetings in order to meet with and discuss education topics with local school board members, administrators, teachers and other stakeholders. The regions would align with current Congressional districts. Meetings would be held in each region once during the fall and once during the spring.
"I have spent the past two months visiting with public schools in my district," said Wood, R-Shawnee. "The common complaint was the lack of communication between the State Department and school districts across the state.
"We understand the difficulty in visiting every school district. However, meeting once per semester in regions aligning with our current congressional districts is both necessary and easily achieved. This legislation will insure an appropriate vehicle to facilitate communication between the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the administration, educators, and parents of your local school districts."
The 2013 session begins Feb. 4 with Gov. Mary Fallin's "State of the State' address.

Ubuntu For Phones To Arrive Next Week On Nexus 4 107
nk497 writes "Canonical has revealed that a developer preview of Ubuntu for phones will arrive next week, on the 21st of February. The touch preview will initially only be available for the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 smartphones, but Canonical plans to support more devices. The release is designed to let developers create apps — and to give 'enthusiasts' a sneak peek — ahead of the smartphone side of Ubuntu arriving in version 13.10 in October. Canonical suggested that the OS will initially only support low-end smartphones, but the group plans to also support higher-end models, too, and the OS will work across mobile devices, PCs and TVs."

- CU Buffs hire San Jose State's Mike MacIntyre to lead football program
- Dec 6:
- Mike Bohn to CU-Boulder faculty leaders: 'We will not cut corners'
- Phil DiStefano: CU Buffs 'not deterred' in search for new football coach

- Butch Jones denies taking CU Buffs job, campus says coach search 'still active'
- Dec 4:
- Butch Jones undecided on CU Buffs' offer
A miserable season on the football field ended nearly two weeks ago for the Colorado Buffaloes, but the program lost again today when Cincinnati coach Butch Jones turned down the school's offer to take over as head coach.
Jones received a counter offer from his current employer and may decide to remain as head coach of the Bearcats for a fourth season in 2013. He was also being listed as a candidate for Tennessee's opening as of Thursday evening.
Where does CU go from here?
Colorado officials are likely to contact San Jose State coach Mike MacIntyre or Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter, though DeRuyter has been a head coach for only one year and might not have the experience CU desires in its next head coach.
Athletic director Mike Bohn and his bosses have a list of targets that also could include former Cal coach Jeff Tedford, but its unclear if Tedford would have interest in the job. Earlier in Colorado's search process, a source who had spoken to Tedford said the coach viewed Colorado as a difficult place to win. Tedford was fired at Cal three weeks ago after the Bears finished the season 3-9.
CU could also look to the NFL for a coach.
It is unclear if the media circus that has followed Colorado's courtship of Jones ultimately scared him away, but it probably didn't help.
The final act of that circus happened Wednesday when a Denver Post report based on an unnamed source said CU had hired Jones. The school and Jones quickly refuted the report
Jones has now talked with Colorado, Purdue and Kentucky this year about coaching vacancies. He also talked with numerous schools about coaching jobs last offseason and has decided to remain at Cincinnati through it all.
The five-year contract CU offered Jones was worth approximately $2.7 million annually and would have made Jones the highest paid coach in Colorado history.
It's unlikely the Buffs would be willing to offer the same deal to other confirmed candidates for the job such as DeRuyter and MacIntyre.
The school is in the market for a football coach for the third time in the past seven years after athletic director Mike Bohn fired former coach Jon Embree nine days ago. The Buffs completed a 1-11 season being blown out by margins of 20 points or more in a majority of their games, which led to the coaching change.
This season was the worst in the modern history of the program, not just because of the team's record but also because the offense and defense both finished at or near the bottom of major national statistical rankings. The Buffs were not competitive in most games.
Sources said Jones became the leading candidate for the Colorado job after Bohn reached out to multiple fellow athletic directors, several head-hunter consultants and sources in the NFL seeking suggestions. Jones' name was consistently proposed by most of the people Bohn spoke to.
Jones visited Boulder on Monday with his wife, Barb, and interviewed for the job with a group of CU administrators and at least one booster on the suite level at Folsom Field. He also talked briefly with four CU players and toured parts of the campus and the Dal Ward Center.
At one point, food service workers helped hide Jones behind a food warmer to allow him to move from the club level at Folsom to the Dal Ward Center without being photographed.
When Jones extended his stay by several hours Monday night, it was seen a positive sign, but when he returned to Cincinnati he received the counter offer.
Cincinnati's status as a member of the Big East Conference was assumed to be a concern for Jones because that league is losing members from its traditional geographical footprint and replacing them with schools from San Diego State to Central Florida.
Cincinnati's need to upgrade Nippert Stadium was also believed to be an issue Jones wanted addressed. It's unclear if school officials there have given him assurances about either of those issues or if Jones simply decided he is comfortable in his current job.

Inventor Flint Lockwood thought he saved the world when he destroyed his most infamous invention -- a machine that turned water into food causing cheeseburger rain and spaghetti tornadoes. But Flint soon learns that his invention survived and is now creating food-animals - "foodimals!" Flint and his friends embark on a dangerously delicious mission to battle hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, hippotatomuses, cheespiders and other foodimals to save the world - again!
Sorry, no theaters are available within -1 km of postal code 45424 that are playing the movie "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2" on Monday, 25 June.Please try:- extending your search range, or - entering a new postal code, or- choosing another date.If after trying different options and your movie still does not appear with showtimes, your movie may not be playing nearby for the options you chose.
Columbia Pictures
The kids who loved the zany humor in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, a digitally animated film version of a children's book that mused on the hypothetical situation of clouds raining down prepared food on a small town, will probably love the even further heightened zaniness of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. The adults who appreciated the cute romance between the clumsy inventor Flint Lockwood (voiced by Bill Hader) who created the surreal weather disturbances and the aspiring meteorologist Sam Sparks (Anna Faris), who fell for him, however, may feel a little dissatisfied.
In this sequel, Flint and Sam venture back home for a clean-up assignment. Joining them are some of the last film's regulars, including Flint's fisherman father (James Caan), Flint's former bully turned pal Brent (Andy Samberg), Sam's steely Guatemalan cameraman Manny (Benjamin Bratt), Flint's lab assistant monkey Steve (Neil Patrick Harris), and the town's burly cop Earl (Terry Crews replacing Mr. T). Flint takes the job to impress his science idol Chester V (Will Forte), who is the celebrity CEO of a company called Live Corp that manufactures processed food bars and happens to have a vested interest in the leftovers.
A contrived if familiar front obscures the greed driving Chester's faux-hippy demeanor (he greets people with Namaste). Live Corp's headquarters are inspired by the play/work complex of Google and fueled by Steve Jobs-esque pep speeches from the company's leader, who mostly uses holograms of himself to connect socially. Of course something nefarious bubbles below the surface. It's a sly stab at Apple and its purported sweat shops in China that are used to manufacture the iPhones for which the West is so crazy.
However, the mission goes awry when Flint and the gang turn conservationists due to the irresistible cute factor of the food somehow turning into foodimals (tacodiles, mosquitoasts, and flamangos, among others). There is something lost without the romance at the heart of the first Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. But there are messages to be had, both overt (don't leave your friends behind while chasing your dreams!) and subtle (don't be distracted by smoke and mirrors into fanatical consumerism!). If it's delivered by a wide-eyed, smiling strawberry named Barry that jams itself when startled, so be it.
The film may sometimes feel uneven, as the characters have little room to develop after the first getting-to-know-each-other film, speaking primarily to explain their behavior. But for every shruggable, over-expository explanation of action among the characters, you get a moment in the background like Steve the Monkey struggling with a sparkling, self-lighting birthday candle. It's all about sight gags and puns. (Guess what foodimal inspires the exclamation There's a leek in my boat!)
Some might take issue with the replacement of Phil Lord and Chris Miller with upstarts Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn. And don't bother to untangle the writing credits, which pay tribute to the original authors, the first directors, and three other writers. And sure, despite the 3D theatrics, I would not argue that there's something flat about Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. Maybe it's the overly simple design of the foodimals at the center of the story or a lack of character dynamic between the group of friends. But, ultimately, this kiddie movie is high-geared for cuteness that will delight those who liked the preposterousness of the first film and want to see the zaniness heightened a notch.

In this hilarious, adventurous buddy comedy for audiences of all ages, directed by Jimmy Hayward, two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time to change the course of history - and get turkey off the Thanksgiving menu for good.

In this hilarious, adventurous buddy comedy for audiences of all ages, directed by Jimmy Hayward, two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time to change the course of history - and get turkey off the Thanksgiving menu for good.
To get showtimes, select a county to find cinemas showing this movie in your area.
Save for its recurring gag about lazy eyes, Free Birds makes it through its 90-minute runtime without so much as a cringe - a rare accomplishment among Hollywood's animated fare lately. Unfortunately, there aren't too many laughs either. The reaction you'll find yourself emitting most often, in fact, will be befuddled gasps. Whatever form of exhalation best represents the question, What the hell is going on?
This emotion will hit you fast in an introductory 20-minutes jam-packed with hyperactive absurdity. We meet Reggie (Owen Wilson), an intelligent free range turkey who is ostracized by his rafter for shunning the corn gods and vocalizing a distrust of that infallible farmer. But just a few quick cutaways later, he's sitting pretty at Camp David, having been chosen as the pardoned turkey by the President of the United States (one in unmistakable Bill Clinton form, complete with accent, thumb gestures, and a joke about his relationship with a female aide). And mere moments after that, Reggie is kidnapped by renegade fowl Jake (Woody Harrelson), a dutiful dimwit whose plan is to utilize the government's top secret time machine to travel back to the first Thanksgiving and get turkeys off the menu forever.
It's a bonkers enough plot to elicit interest in the first place, and a harmless enough story (if you can really call it a story) to keep you from falling offended throughout. But in committing so exhaustingly to this mania, you'd imagine Free Birds to muster up some better material. And the line this film toes is actually rather frustrating; the humor is just passable enough that you almost root for it. You wish it was better. There aren't many laughs, but the almost-laughs come in large supply. The rivalry between alpha males Jake and 17th century wild turkey Ranger (director Hayward), himself a brawny dolt hoping to protect his flock from the approaching humans, dissolves into Leslie Nielsen-esque shtick, but without any impressive panache. Reggie's budding romance with Jenny (Amy Poehler) offers a few bits of banter that could have, through a rewrite or two, been funny. Smirks are plentiful. Laughs are few.
And maybe this is because the story has no characters. Wilson, Harrelson, Poehler, and their legion of backup players trek along with this harebrained script, spouting nonsense verse as the peculiarities ebb and flow. But there's no evolution for Reggie, who identifies himself as a lone wolf but falls hard for Jenny at first sight. There's no true trajectory for Jake, who claims to be haunted by his childhood but is never fleshed out beyond sight gags. There is no lesson to be learned, message to be imparted, or real conclusion to be reached beyond the obvious narrative point to which the turkeys' actions ultimately lead. Free Birds is just a bunch of kooky things going on for an hour and a half, to no real end. But if you want to wean your children into Naked Gun humor, this might be a harmless place to begin.

About Astrodienst
Horoscopes for people around the world
Astrodienst AG is located in Zollikon near Zürich in a romantic Villa close to the lake of Zürich. A team of currently eight hard working people manages the daily service and the development of new projects, together with some external partners.
For more than three decades, the small Swiss company Astrodienst has been developing and selling horoscopes. Astrodienst is German, meaning "Astro Service", and this is exactly what the people in this enterprise consider to be their most important task. In addition to products which can be ordered, there are many free charts and interpretations available in several languages on their website www.astro.com.
The Astrologer and the Physicist
In the early eighties, Alois Treindl developed a new computer software for precise horoscope calculation. Astrologers soon began to appreciate this service which continued to gain a good reputation in astrological circles. On October 4th, 1983 Astrodienst registered as an enterprise.
In 1987, the astrologically skilled physicist Treindl met Liz Greene, a well-known American astrologer and psychologist who had already written a number of astrology books. Dissatisfied with the quality of ordinary computer-generated horoscopes, they set out to develop a better one: an "expert system" which was able to synthesize horoscope factors in such a way that it could give a valid description of character and psychological motivation. The software should "imitate" an astrological counseling session based on Liz Greene's practice.
After two years of intensive work they were able to sell the first "Psychological Horoscope Analysis". The reactions were unambiguous: never before had a computer created a horoscope of comparable quality. This led Astrodienst to develop a further eight interpretations. Liz Greene has remained their most important author, followed by the American astrologer Robert Hand with his classic transit interpretations, and Mona Riegger from Germany. Today their horoscopes, which are available in up to ten languages, are sold by more than 40 licensees around the world.
www.astro.com: one of the most successful astrology
sites on the Internet
In 1996, Astrodienst went online, and today www.astro.com is one of the most successful astrological websites on the Internet registering more than 6 million visitors per month. Beginners as well as professional astrologers can find a wealth of information in the Personal Daily Horoscope and various short reports, as well as valuable tools such as different types of chart calculation. For those who want to explore the subject in greater depth, Astrodienst offers specialized articles by renowned astrologers, a 3'000-year ephemeris or sample horoscopes of contemporary celebrities. The website is currently online in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Dutch.
What about the future?
According to Liz Greene, "Astrodienst is not interested in competing with the mass market of simple star sign astrology, but utilizes astrology to explore the deeper levels and motivations of human nature." This is a challenge Astrodienst will continue to take on, aiming to meet the growing interest in astrology with high quality products. The enterprise is working on its expansion through co-operations with national and international partners as well as preparing other new projects.
Alois Treindl, graduate student, starts selling color charts and calls this service Astrodienst Zürich.

NEW YORK - Cross country's Nicolas Composto and Waverly Neer have been selected as Columbia's Male and Female Student-Athletes of the Month for November after strong postseason performances.
Composto took second place at the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships on Nov. 2 to help Columbia win its fourth conference title. His runner-up finish earned him first team All-Ivy League honors. The senior followed with a 10th place performance at the NCAA Northeast Regional (30:28.3) to guide the Lions to a runner-up finish and secure an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships. Composto closed out his season with a 30th place time of 30:37.8 to pick up All-America honors at the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships.
Neer also grabbed second place at Heps to earn first team All-Ivy League honors and was beaten only by the eventual individual National Champion Abbey D'Agostino from Dartmouth. The junior standout then finished fourth at the NCAA Northeast Regional to pick up All-Region honors and punched a ticket to the NCAA National Championships.

Citizens' Hose Company No. 1 of Smyrna was dispatched to numerous automobile accidents Friday morning as a result of the snow.
The fire department responded at 7:35 a.m. to the southbound lane of Route 1 just south of exit 114 for a three-vehicle accident. Citizens' Hose Company Public Information Office Eugene Tucker said when the firefighters arrived to the accident one person was suffering from neck and back injuries.
"Due to the numerous accidents in the area, firefighters had to wait for an ambulance to arrive from Dover's Prime Car Ambulance to transport the injured party to Bayhealth in Dover," Tucker said.
The firefighters had to wait nearly an hour before the ambulance could get to the accident, Tucker said.
Citizens' Hose Company responded to three additional accidents on South DuPont Boulevard and on Route 1.
There were minor injuries in a two-vehicle accident on Route 13 and South Carter Road. There was property damage as a result of a two-vehicle accident at Route 13 and Hickory Ridge Road. A call to Twin Willows Road was unfounded.
Tucker said traffic on South DuPont Boulevard from Cheswold to Smyrna was nearly at a standstill in the southbound lanes because of roadway conditions due to the snow.
Lt. Jason Hansen was the officer in charge of the accident on Route 1 and exit 114, and a total of four units responded to the accidents with 36 personnel in service for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Ambulances from American Legion Ambulance 64, Leipsic and Townsend Fire Companies, and Prime Care Ambulance responded to assist Citizens' Hose Company with the accidents.

John Deere publications found
If you grew up on a farm where your dad had at least one piece of green machinery, like I did, John Deere Day was one of the bright spots of winter.
The repair shop of the local John Deere dealership was a warm place on a cold day where they served free food, showed a short film of the latest John Deere tractors, and you could stand around and listen while your dad chewed the fat with the neighbors.
They were always held during winter months — usually January or February — because that was one of the least busy times of the year for farmers. It was also a good time to get them thinking about buying a new planter or other piece of equipment.
Back in those days, every small town had one or more implement dealers each selling a different brand. John Deere and Farmall were the majors, but there were also plenty of Allis-Chalmers, Oliver, Case, and Minneapolis-Moline dealers. I also don't want to forget Massey-Harris, Ferguson or Ford and apologize if I left our your favorite tractor color.
John Deere was the only one I can remember that had what today we would call a customer appreciation day.
For me, John Deere Days were held at the Thede Co. in Kewanee, or Colgan Implement in Wyoming. Unfortunately John Deere Day is a thing of the past, probably because there are far fewer farmers today and they are busier year-round now than they were in the 1950s.
Boyhood memories returned recently when I found a flier my grandfather, David O. Johnson, got in the mail about John Deere Tractor Day on Dec. 12, 1934 at A.C. Taylor & Son Co., in Kewanee. Yes, in addition to cars, Taylors sold farm equipment. Grandpa still farmed with horses — as a matter of fact, he never owned a tractor — but he probably had a John Deere manure spreader or plow, which put him on Taylor's mailing list.
The cover of the flier reads like an invitation to come to "our store" beginning at 10:30 a.m. In large black capital letters it proclaims "Free Lunch at Noon" — a definite draw, followed by "for farmers and their families" in small letters. "Arrange your plans to come," the piece advised. Inside, customers were told, "Here is an opportunity…to learn all about the very latest developments in tractors and power machinery."
Representatives of the John Deere Company would be there to answer questions or solve any problems you were having with equipment.
The big news about this John Deere Day was "A brand new talking picture that will give you a full hour of entertainment and education." The movie, entitled "Partners," showed how tractors were built at the John Deere plant in Waterloo, Iowa, and then used out on the farm.
In 1934, tractors still had steel wheels, as shown in the black and white fieldwork photographs in the flier. In the late 1950s, Dad bought a 1936 John Deere "B" at Taylor & Son which he used to mow hay and do light chores. We were told it was one of the first years tractors were equipped with rubber tires.
Farmers were strongly encouraged to bring their sons, and even their neighbors' sons, being told to "be sure to bring your boys." John Deere undoubtedly had an eye on their customers of tomorrow but what about daughters?
They even openly encouraged skipping school. "This talking picture (which was the story of how a father and his son become partners on the farm) is a real education — the boys can well afford to miss a day at school to attend this John Deere Day."
The format of food, film and fellowship, door prizes and doughnuts was followed for decades. I also found two copies of The Furrow, a quarterly magazine sent to John Deere customers — one from Taylor & Son in February and March of 1934 and the other, December and January of 1951-52, from R.E. Hagberg, apparently a John Deere dealer in Oneida.
Seventeen years apart, they show the advancement from steel-wheeled Model "A" and "B" two-bottom plow tractors to Model "MT" gas and "R" diesel five-bottom plow rubber-tired tractors.
An ad for a Model "D" in the 1934 Furrow shows a farmer telling his neighbor over a woven wire fence, "My John Deere tractor saves me $1 to $2 a day on fuel costs alone…"
According to the editorial page in both issues, the magazine was sent to free to farmers designated by the John Deere dealer in each community. Both magazines contained 15 pages and, in addition to ads and articles about the latest farm implements, also contained useful stories about ways to get more productivity out of livestock and "Culling Out the Slackers in Your Seed Corn."
A full-page ad on the back page of the 1951 copy tells farmers that for as little as $69, they could overhaul their John Deere and make it run good as new with a "bright, factory-fresh appearance." They were also touting the longevity and efficiency of John Deere's trademark "two cylinder tractor economy," identified by its "pop, pop, pop" engine, music to the ears of die-hard Deere owners.
John Deere, founded in 1837, remains the only major farm implement manufacturer that has not been bought out, merged, sold or gone out of business. It's been John Deere and only John Deere since day one, a continuous thread in the history of agriculture.
That's why old Furrow magazines and other promotional literature are so interesting. They show what farming was like, and how farmers and their families dealt with farming.

Tigers - 000 010 100 - 2 3 1Beckett (7-3-2-1-6, 97) retired the first 11 Tigers and had no trouble at all with the Detroit bats. He allowed solo home runs to Carlos Guillen and Marcus Thames, but they both elicted a "so what?" response.
Red Sox - 012 050 00x - 8 11 0
Jason Bay (two-run home run, two doubles, two walks) and Mike Lowell (home run, two singles, two RBI) continued their torrid hitting, each mashing taters for the second night in a row. In the fifth, the first two batters were retired before the next seven Boston batters reached base against Miner and Freddy Dolsi.
The Red Sox remained 5.5 GB the Yankees and 1.5 GA of the Rangers (who beat Cleveland 5-0) in the Wild Card.
Surprise: Jerry Remy was in the NESN booth with Orsillo and Eckersley for the entire second inning. He says he wants to return to the booth this season (SoSH). He looked great, was quite funny and deeply appreciative of all the cards, emails and letters. He got a huge standing ovation between half-innings. From his comments, it sounds like he's doing well physically but has been dealing with depression. It was really great to see him again.
Pedro (5-7-3-1-5, 99) picked up his first win of 2009 as the Phillies routed the Cubs.
Beckett= Ace.
Career-high 17 consecutive starts of at least six innings (2.15 ERA)MLB.com notes Galarraga's recent "inability to attack hitters" and "nibbling at the fringes of the strike zone". Sounds like a recipe for another Boston win.
1.85 ERA since May 23 (14 starts)
7-0, 2.58 in 10 home starts
Seven shutout innings in each of his last two starts, including last Friday in New York
A no-hitter through 6.2 innings against the Tigers on June 3
[UPDATE: Galarraga (5.23, 87 ERA+) has been scratched because of a "severe sore throat". Zach Miner will start. He pitched two innings on Monday and warmed up last night.]
Two other games of note: The Yankees beat the Blue Jays 4-3 in 11 innings this afternoon. ... Pedro Martinez makes his Phillies debut at 8 PM at Wrigley Field.
Fired Up!

ROCKFORD — The city will plant hundreds fewer trees than planned over the next several years, largely because of confusion over a clause in the Prevailing Wage Act.
The act requires a municipality to pay various outside contractors at the going rates set each year by the Department of Labor. Prevailing wages have been the law of the land since the 1930s.
Here's the confusion: sometimes cities need to pay landscapers prevailing wages and sometimes they don't.
When landscapers are maintaining what's already there — pruning, trimming or mowing the lawn — the city doesn't have to pay prevailing wages. When they're adding something new — planting a streetscape or building a new entrance to a park — then the city does.
And in Winnebago County in 2013, that means paying $29.58 an hour.
Tree plantings fall into both categories.
If landscapers are replacing a dead tree — whether it is being cut down because of the emerald ash borer or has been struck by lighting — then they are not protected by prevailing wages. If it's a new tree that raises the value of the land, then they are protected.
Here's Rockford's dilemma: The city has started a new tree planting program, but it's in response to the emerald ash borer. The invasive insect is expected to kill 5,000 ash trees over the next five years. The city intends to plant 1,000 new trees a year to replace the ones that will get cut down.
But the new trees will not necessarily be planted in the same spots as the old trees. Some of the trees coming down, planted in previous generations, interfere with wires or nearby sidewalks. Some of them are bundled with too many of one tree species leaving them vulnerable to the spread of disease or insects. And to save money, the city will plant the new trees in front of homes and yards throughout Rockford with the understanding that homeowners will water and care for them early on.
So legally, do these count as new trees or replacements?
Department of Labor spokesperson Susan Hofer wouldn't comment on Rockford's specific situation.
"It depends on the extent of what they're doing," Hofer said. "The bottom line is if you are improving the nature of the property with landscaping, you have to pay the prevailing wage."
Rockford officials have taken that to mean the program falls under prevailing wage laws and will pay the $29.58 an hour.
The city had already bid out the work, which was being done in the $15 to $16 an hour range. But Rockford will now have to pay $60,000 more a year in labor costs, said street and forestry superintendent Mark Stockman.
Aldermen have not been asked to increase the amount currently set aside for the annual tree plantings — $280,000. That amount will only cover the cost of planting 800 trees a year under the higher wage rate, instead of planting 1,000 trees each year as originally planned.
The 20 percent cut shows the "extreme damage" that the state is doing in the wake of the ash borer, said Ald. Venita Hervey, D-5.
"I want people to receive a fair wage but this is reprehensible," Hervey said. "We will now get far less for the same amount of money."
But the prevailing wages serve good purpose and some communities require them when they're not mandated by state law, Hofer said.
"They make it clear the city wants the best employees not the cheapest," she said.

So last week is just that, last week. Lets look forward to the future, which is our game at Buffalo this week.
Information out of Buffalo is that their main RB Fred Jackson is hurt and will likely not play this week. As is David Nelson. However, their backup RB is no slouch in CJ Spiller.
Also, they have the inconsistent Fitzpatrick at QB.
Good news for us is that according to ESPN (link:Ty Warren suffers another serious injury - AFC West Blog - ESPN, Crennel says B. Flowers should play for us this week. Tamba Hali should also be back and hopefully he will want to make it up to the Chiefs that he wasnt there for them last week. With Flowers and Hali back, I think our Pass D will improve significantly.
Buffalo is primarily a running team, and I have high hopes that we will be able to shut down their rushing game. They will have Mario Williams on defense, so hopefully B. Albert will be able to protect Cassel's blindside better this game.

University of Colorado officials confirmed Tuesday the athletic department will receive its third loan from the school in the past seven years to cover the costs of firing coach Jon Embree and possibly parting ways with offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.
The loan of $2.4 million is roughly the total cost of the buyouts for the three years remaining on Embree's contract and the three years remaining on Bieniemy's deal.
Athletic director Mike Bohn met with Embree's assistants on Tuesday and told them they will all remain employed until the next head coach has a chance to evaluate them and decide whether he wants to retain them. If they are let go, they will be offered severance packages.
"Our coaches are working hard to continue the recruiting process with the upcoming class and helping out existing student athletes process the coaching transition," Bohn said. "All new assistant coaching positions will be determined by the new head coach."
Embree is owed $1.625 million and Bieniemy would be owed $812,500 if he is not retained for a total of $2.437,500.
CU fired Embree on Sunday after the Buffs went 1-11 this season and lost most of their games in blowout fashion. Embree was 4-21 in his two seasons at the helm and lost 15 games by 20 or more points.
The athletic department previously received an $8 million loan in 2006 to help with the costs of paying off former coach Gary Barnett who was fired at the end of the 2005 season and paying other debts the department owed.
When the school moved from the Big 12 Conference to the Pac-12 in 2010, the campus and the CU System loaned the department $10 million to help defray the costs of the conference change and paying $2 million buyout for former coach Dan Hawkins
The athletic department has received money every year from its conference's television revenue and money generated from bowl games in football and the NCAA tournament in men's basketball.
When the school left the Big 12, it forfeited approximately $7 million and the following year it did not receive any distribution from the Pac-12 for its first year in the league, which meant it was short the $9.5 million it had been averaging in conference distributions previously.
Bohn said the department is about halfway through the process of paying off Barnett and Hawkins and will now add Embree to the tab.
CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard said the cost of switching conferences and coaching changes are not the only reasons for the loan. He said the athletic department has increased expenses by adding a women's lacrosse program, a new marketing position and several new positions for academic advising. The cost of scholarships also rose this year because of tuition increases.
The department also saw football revenue decrease by more than $2 million because of decreased ticket sales.
CU is slated to begin receiving approximately $21 million a year in Pac-12 television money this school year. That money in future years will help get the department back on track and athletics shouldn't need similar loans in the future.
"Even with the Pac-12 money there is not quite enough there in the short term to get us through the fiscal year without floating a loan from the campus," Hilliard said. "...The long term financial prospects are quite positive with realized new revenues from the Pac-12 membership. It's just that this year we had a lot of expenses."
New coach will choose staff
Bohn said there won't be any stipulations made to the next coach about retaining any current assistants. He said the next coach will be free to assemble a staff he chooses.
The current staff includes Boulder native Bobby Kennedy, who has coached wide receivers at CU the past two seasons and has a strong resume. Kennedy came back to Boulder, in part, to coach along side Embree whom he has known for decades and considers a good friend, but coaching in his home town still might be appealing to Kennedy.
Some members of the staff were seen already packing their belongings in the coaches' offices on Monday when a press conference was held down the hall on the second floor of the Dal Ward Center.
A source close to the staff said he doubted any of Embree's assistants would want to stay because of the way Embree was treated in being given only two years. The source said that includes longtime linebackers coach Brian Cabral, who is apparently planning to retire.
During a post practice interview with the Camera last week leading up to the season finale against Utah, Cabral said he still enjoys coaching and was hoping to return next season. Cabral even talked about looking forward to coaching the returning linebackers he has in the program and recruits slated to join the Buffs.
Cabral has coached linebackers at CU for 24 seasons, including one as a graduate assistant. He also played linebacker at the school in the 1970s.
Sources said Colorado School of Mines coach Bob Stitt is not likely to be a candidate to replace Embree and former Kansas coach Mark Mangino also is not a candidate for a job a CU.

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is being removed from both Madden NFL 25 and NCAA Football 14, following his arrest on murder charges. Electronic Arts said in a statement that his removal from NCAA will come in the form of a title update, with an alternate reward for unlocking him in the Nike Skills Trainer in the meantime.
"We have made a decision to remove Aaron Hernandez from Madden NFL 25 and NCAA Football 14," EA said in a statement, via Joystiq. "Because NCAA Football 14 was finalized prior to our decision, Hernandez' image still appears in the Nike Skills Trainer. However, he is not in the game, and anyone who unlocks that particular Nike Skills Trainer reward will receive an Alex Smith Ultimate Team player item instead. The image of Hernandez will be removed via a Title Update in the near future."
Massachusetts State Police arrested Hernandez on June 26, and charged him with first-degree murder and multiple firearms charges. He was released from the Patriots roster the same day.

Remember when I first made the infamous root beer cake from Baked? Seems like years ago. Today it's still one of my favorites. No it really is. It's simple to make and packs a powerhouse of flavor. It's easily one of those cakes you can bring to a function/party to wow friends because it is so unique and tasty. Did you know that the bundt pan was actually invented by a person? I didn't. His name was David Dalquist--here is a little ditty on him here and here. He also invented/started Nordic Ware. But originally he called it the "bund" pan. Interesting. His success of the bundt pan stemmed from 1966 winner of the Pillsbury Bake Off, where a texas woman (Ella Helfrich) made a "tunnel of fudge cake" using the bundt pan. And from there 1000's of people wanted to make the tunnel of fudge cake at home--thus buying up bundt pans like crazy. I love the concept of bundt pans, just wish they weren't so strange looking. Coat them with enough frosting or glaze and they are better....looking.
root beer-peanut butter bundt cake
inspired from: Baked: New Frontiers in Baking
print recipe
1 & 1/2 cups root beer (do not use diet root beer)
1 cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
1¼ cups granulated sugar
½ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1¼ teaspoons baking soda
1 ts salt
2 large eggs
peanut butter frosting:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 ts pure vanilla extract
pinch of salt
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar (I used 3 cups for extra thick)
2 TB milk
root beer frosting (I halved this, since I didn't want a thick layer):
2 ounces dark chocolate (60% cacao), melted and cooled slightly
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 ts salt
¼ cup root beer or 1/8 cup of root beer schnapps
2/3 cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
2½ cups confectioners' sugar
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously spray the inside of a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray; alternatively, butter it, dust with flour, and knock out excess flour.
In a small saucepan, heat the root beer, root beer schnapps (if using), cocoa powder, and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the sugars and whisk until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until just beaten, then whisk them into a cooled cocoa mixture until combined. Gently fold the flour mixture into the cocoa mixture. The batter will be slightly lumpy - do not overbeat, as it could cause the cake to be tough.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time, until a small sharp knife inserted into the cake comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Gently loosen the sides of the cake from the pan and turn it out onto the rack.
Make the pb frosting:
Blend cream cheese and peanut butter together, adding vanilla and confectioners' sugar gradually with 1 to 2 tablespoons milk. Beat with electric mixer until of spreading consistency. Spread on cooled cake.
I like to put a thick(er) layer of pb frosting on, let that set, then the root beer frosting.
Make the root beer fudge frosting:
Put all the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse in short bursts until the frosting is shiny and smooth.
Use a spatula to spread the fudge frosting over the crown of the bundt in a thick layer. Let the frosting set before serving.

Why People Suffer
Suffering is integral to the ideal proving ground—the "vale of soul-making." Pain and suffering are among the necessary variables for achieving that righteous purpose.
