When nap time hits, Isabella crashes...
Kallie Jane didn't go down to the beach very much, but here she is by the pool at home on Monday.
Have a WW?
So glad you are able to go on some trips.
This summer will be tight with us. Being a teacher I have meeting in the summer and summer school. BLAH.
The beach is a great starting point. I miss it.
Absolutely precious!

AM I NAIVE or ignorant? I thought a vice president of any organization, from club to country, was elected to act as president should the president die or become incapable of discharging his duties for whatever reason.
It seems to me that the question of ''the letter'' by President Reagan that temporarily assigned power to Vice President George Bush during the president's surgery is being belabored. It might have been unnecessary but it was a courtesy on Reagan's part, and so typical of him.
Without it Vice President Bush automatically would have become the acting president for the ''anesthetized moments'' or any longer time as it occurred. Winifred MacC. Flood

Campaigners are calling on Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso to apologize and offer compensation to the families of British men who were forced to work at a mine owned by Aso's father during World War II. They are also urging the prime minister to resign because they feel he failed to acknowledge for several years his family firm's role in the use of slave labor, despite evidence to the contrary in the United States.
James McAnulty, from Glasgow, Scotland, was shocked when he learned a few months ago that the mine in which his father toiled was owned by Aso Mining Co.
McAnulty's father, who passed away in 1971, spent long hours at the Fukuoka Prefecture mine shoveling up coal and pushing wagons.
He was there between June and September 1945 when he was liberated. The former POW told his son many tales about his time at the mine and the nearby camp where they lived.
McAnulty said his father received beatings by the guards for being unable to correctly recite his prisoner number in Japanese and also witnessed one Australian POW ''disappear'' after getting the upper hand over the guards who would practice their judo throws on the POWs, according to his son.
McAnulty, 62, told Kyodo News, ''He (my father) said there was a lack of food and the sleeping quarters were terrible, but sleep was welcome because it was like he was forgetting the pain.''
In January, Aso effectively admitted his family firm used forced labor during World War II after government documents emerged in Japan in December which confirmed earlier material from the United States.
When those U.S. media reports first surfaced in 2006—confirming the link between forced labor and the mine—it is understood that Aso, then foreign minister, ordered his officials to publicly rubbish the news.
The Japanese government documents revealed in December show that 300 Allied POWs—101 Britons, two Dutch and 197 Australians—were based at camp No. 26 which was assigned to the Aso mine. Around 150 of the men worked at the mine, with the rest working on farmland.
On Aso, McAnulty said, ''I would love him to admit the truth and apologize to the survivors or their relatives. They were not paid and were not looked after well and were treated with disdain. If he has any conscience, he would apologize.''
He recognizes that Aso was a child when these events took place and therefore cannot be held directly responsible. However, McAnulty feels that a man in his position should take the lead and do the honorable thing.
Since the discovery, McAnulty has decided to write to the prime minister's office, although he is not optimistic about getting a reply.
''I definitely think that the Aso company should compensate the survivors or their relatives. But I definitely know that it isn't going to happen.''
He continued, ''They made immense profits and part of that was off my father's back. My father should be paid for the years he worked there, and compensated for the cruelty imposed on him and the psychological damage.''
McAnulty's father, also called James, was an engine stoker on board HMS Exeter which was sunk by Japanese ships in the Java Sea in 1942.
He was moved to Camp No. 26 in Keisen, Fukuoka, from where prisoners were forced to work each day at the Yoshikuma pit belonging to Aso Mining Co., now the Aso Group. The prime minister headed the company between 1973 and 1979 before entering politics.
Aso's spokesman said it is difficult to comment at this stage because no letter had yet been received.
Thomas Jowett, who has researched the history of HMS Exeter and its personnel, said that of the 101 British men, 88 were either from HMS Exeter or HMS Encounter, which was also sunk at the same time.
As far as he is aware there is only one Exeter survivor who worked in the mine and is still alive.
Jowett said, ''It is very disconcerting that it has taken the publication of Japanese government records for Prime Minister Aso to accept that slave labor took place at this family-run mine.
''The Japanese government—through Aso—should issue a more fulsome and sincere apology for the atrocities committed by Japan both before and during World War II.
''I doubt that compensation will be offered by Aso and, in any event, it is too late because there are very few survivors. This, I believe, is due to the ill-treatment and malnourishment suffered by the POWs.''
Yukihisa Fujita, an opposition parliamentarian in Japan who has been instrumental in bringing this issue to the attention of the public, told Kyodo News Aso should apologize to the British relatives ''for having kept, for so long, denying'' the family firm's use of slave labor.
Fujita says the men should have been paid for their work at the mine and is now demanding that the firm make a ''consolation'' payment to the families.
The Japanese government has consistently expressed regret for the inhumane treatment inflicted upon POWs during World War II, but some claim that the apology did not go far enough and should have been more sincere.
Tokyo has always said that it settled all compensation claims with Allied POWs when it made payments to them through the San Francisco Peace Treaty in 1951. Critics claim this was a derisory sum and the Allied powers should not have settled for such a measly figure. This treaty has meant that any subsequent private lawsuits have been unsuccessful.
Although such treatment of POWs contravened the 1929 Geneva Convention, Japan had not ratified the convention at the time.

Relatives of Aso mine's British laborers demand apology and compensation
Campaigners are calling on Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso to apologize and offer compensation to the families of British men who were forced to work at a mine owned by Aso's father during World War II.

Aso says having children an 'obligation,' but later retracts remark
Gaffe-prone Prime Minister Taro Aso said Thursday that he has fulfilled an ''obligation'' because he has two children, but he later retracted the remark made during a parliamentary debate about Japan's declining birthrate.
''I may well have fulfilled an obligation because I have had two children since getting married at 43,'' Aso told the House of Representatives Budget Committee in a debate with Chinami Nishimura, a lawmaker of the main opposition Democratic Party of Japan.
''I do not hear people say in this country that it is good to have a child or it is fun (to have child). I keep hearing that it (having a child) is tough,'' Aso said, noting he enjoys seeing his children, who are 20 and 23.
But he later retracted the remark, saying there are various reasons for not having a child.
''I think that the word 'obligation' was inappropriate,'' Aso said. ''There are people who cannot have a child even though they want to, and there are people who are unable to give birth for physical reasons. There are various reasons.''
The 68-year-old premier, who took office last September, has seen a decline in the support rate for his cabinet in the past following a series of verbal gaffes on political, financial and social issues.

Publication Date: January 14, 2014
Origins: From Author for Review
Synopsis: When Grace, 27 years old and with only a few months left to live, returns to her home town of Brecon, she is catapulted nearly 1800 years into the past. At first she attributes her hallucinations to her brain tumour but as the visions become more detailed and closer to the present day, she becomes involved with a certain wickedly handsome and rather inhuman Roman, who has an obsession with blood.
Grace is forced to confront her fears when the past begins intruding on the present, and she falls deeper in love with her phantom man.
'Death is only one option.'
A love story with a supernatural twist, it looks at vampires from an unusual angle, knitting together the twelfth century with the present day.
This is the first novel in the Resurrection trilogy..
Review: Grace is a 27 year old woman who has come home to die. She's been diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor and none of the treatments have worked. So she moves back in with her parents and brother until it is her time. Grace starts seeing strange things, seemingly transported to the past, which she first attributes to her tumor. However, the visions persist and she's captivated by Roman, a man with a passion for her and for blood. Readers aren't given an explanation for Grace's ability to time travel and why she moves about in time, but always comes upon Roman. Perhaps it will be laid out in book 2 or book 3 of this trilogy. Grace's courage and tenderness are readily apparent and it was good to see her out experiencing life since her diagnosis – even if it was centuries in the past! STATE OF GRACE is a peculiar blend of romance genres, with time-traveling and vampires. The time periods and the settings were quite well-researched and the characters pretty well-developed. Ending on a bit of a cliffhanger, readers will be sure to pick up the next book quickly.

New Rogue Planet Found, Closest to our Solar System

Rogue planets – also known as free floating planets – are pretty intriguing. They are not orbiting a star but instead are wandering through the galaxy, having been either forcibly ejected from a solar system or having formed very early on in the Universe. While only a handful of these planets have been actually found, astronomers estimate these vagrant worlds could vastly outnumber stars. In fact, it's been suggested there could be 100,000 times more rogue planets than stars in our Milky Way galaxy alone!
The latest rogue world to be found is exciting in that it is the closest such object to our Solar System so far. At a distance of about 100 light-years, its comparative proximity, along with the absence of a bright star very close to it, has allowed the team to study its atmosphere in great detail. Astronomers say this object gives them a preview of the exoplanets that future instruments will be able to find – and potentially take image of — around stars other than the Sun. But the planet also seems to be loosely tied to a roving group of stars, called the AB Doradus Moving Group.
The new rogue planet, with the ungainly name of CFBDSIR J214947.2-040308.9 (CFBDSIR2149 for short), was found using the Very Large Telescope and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The astronomers, led by Philippe Delorme from the Institut de planétologie et d'astrophysique de Grenoble, CNRS/Université Joseph Fourier, France, are calling the object a rogue planet candidate for now, as they want to study it further to confirm its free-floating status.
Moving star systems are equally intriguing. The AB Doradus Moving Group is the closest such group to our Solar System, and the stars drift through space together in a pack. They are thought to have formed at the same time. If the new rogue planet actually is associated with this moving group, astronomers say it will be possible to deduce much more about it, including its temperature, mass, and what its atmosphere is made of. There remains a small probability that the association with the moving group is by chance.
The link between the new object and the moving group is the vital clue that allows astronomers to find the age of the newly discovered object. Without knowing its age, it's not possible to know whether it is really a planet, or a brown dwarf, a "failed" star that lack the bulk to trigger the reactions that make stars shine.
This is the first isolated planetary mass object ever identified in a moving group, and the association with this group makes it the most interesting free-floating planet candidate identified so far.

"Looking for planets around their stars is akin to studying a firefly sitting one centimetre away from a distant, powerful car headlight," said Delorme. "This nearby free-floating object offered the opportunity to study the firefly in detail without the dazzling lights of the car messing everything up."
Free-floating objects like CFBDSIR2149 are thought to form either as normal planets that have been booted out of their home systems, or as lone objects like the smallest stars or brown dwarfs. In either case these objects are intriguing — either as planets without stars, or as the tiniest possible objects in a range spanning from the most massive stars to the smallest brown dwarfs.
"These objects are important, as they can either help us understand more about how planets may be ejected from planetary systems, or how very light objects can arise from the star formation process," says Philippe Delorme. "If this little object is a planet that has been ejected from its native system, it conjures up the striking image of orphaned worlds, drifting in the emptiness of space."
If CFBDSIR2149 is not associated with the AB Doradus Moving Group, the astronomers say it is trickier to be sure of its nature and properties, and it may instead be characterized as a small brown dwarf. Both scenarios represent important questions about how planets and stars form and behave.
"Further work should confirm CFBDSIR2149 as a free-floating planet," said Delorme. "This object could be used as a benchmark for understanding the physics of any similar exoplanets that are discovered by future special high-contrast imaging systems, including the SPHERE instrument that will be installed on the VLT."
This video shows an artist's impression of the free-floating planet CFBDSIR J214947.2-040308.9. In the first part of the sequence the planet appears as a dark disc in visible light, silhouetted against the star clouds of the Milky Way. This is the closest such object to the Solar System and the most exciting candidate free-floating planet found so far. It does not orbit a star and hence does not shine by reflected light; the faint glow it emits can only be detected in infrared light. In the final sequence we see an infrared view of the object with the central parts of the Milky Way as seen by the VISTA infrared survey telescope as background. The object appears blueish in this near-infrared view because much of the light at longer infrared wavelengths is absorbed by methane and other molecules in the planet's atmosphere. In visible light the object is so cool that it would only shine dimly with a deep red colour when seen close-up.

I think the line between a low mass brown dwarf and free floating "planet" is a blurry one.
Also this throws another monkey wrench into the proper definition of a "planet". This could be a "planemo" I suppose.
Good find!
Maybe a plar or a stanet!
There is no "proper" definition of a planet, there are many definitions suiting different situations.
But there is an official IAU definition of planet. The IAU definition is only relevant for our own system, because of the observational requirements: "in the Solar System".
These planets are exoplanets. They are mostly defined by the many ways we observe them at the moment.
Yes, "planemo" would suit: "the purpose of the term is to describe objects which do not conform to typical expectations for a planet. These include … free-floating planets not orbiting a star, such as rogue planets ejected from their system, …".
I wonder about the possibility of moons around such objects. Why not? Even if they were ejected from proto-disks they could be included in the interaction. There are certainly multiple formation scenarios that would result in rogue status. They may have disks of their own, in other words.
And if ice moons, which would be likelier as rouges would preferably be ejected from the outer parts of a system*, they could be habitable.
* See the "ejected 5th giant" extension of the current Nice model predicting our own system.
What constellation is it in?
Aquarius (RA 21 49 47.2 Dec -04 03 08.9)
I took a cursory look around and found that the CFHT has a limiting magnitude range of about 25-27 mag. in red light. The VLT even better? TBD? Another fine reason to get the 'James Webb Space Telescope' up and running!

This is so neat! The AB Doradus Moving Group has ~ 30 stars in it, so this observation (if confirmed) is already pushing up against the "1 rogue for 1 system" constraint of microlensing.
If we hadn't observed such an object soon, we would have strained the microlensing observations. In practice, our system has met many of these nearby, and we are quite unlucky to not have anyone closer as of yet.
So, another win for the exoplanet hunters, on its lonesome and as testing earlier predictions.
Must be incredibly hard to find these things 'cause they're so dim. Also says that the atmosphere was studied extensively, but nothing else was said about it. Any info about the atmosphere, how big the planet is, how hot/cold it is?
BTW, love the name for the planet and all, but maybe we could come up with something a little more catchy.
– If you follow the link, and accept the likely correlation to the group:
"The association with the AB Doradus Moving Group would pin down the mass of the planet to approximately 4–7 times the mass of Jupiter, with an effective temperature of approximately 430 degrees Celsius. The planet's age would be the same as the moving group itself — 50 to 120 million years."
"The team's statistical analysis of the object's proper motion — its angular change in position across the sky each year — shows an 87% probability that the object is associated with the AB Doradus Moving Group, and more than 95% probability that it is young enough to be of planetary mass, making it much more likely to be a rogue planet rather than a small "failed" star. More distant free-floating planet candidates have been found before in very young star clusters, but could not be studied in detail."
So it's not even a 2 sigma observation as of yet, but it would be a fair diagnosis at your hospital (~ 80 % average diagnosis accuracy), and good enough to bet on. But Delorme promises us better data in the future.
– "Want to Name an Exoplanet? Uwingu Has a Plan", a recent UT tip.
I did look at the article, but I do not have a science background and got pretty lost after the first couple of paragraphs – I did not have the patience to glean the few pieces of info I might have understood. Thanks for dissecting out that info for me!
No planem… hay problema!
I think they ought to name this planet 'Neburu'.. just to stir up the 'paranoid psychics' in the crowd? Hmmmmm…. then laughs at the coincidental and seemingly synchronistic nature of this find? UGH!
Ok, is strange to think of this 'group' instead of a solar system, but they must be orbitally bound right? These 7 or so suns? So is the dogie planet orbiting some, one , several?
So this is really a system on the run? I like that so much better than moving group. But since you see it by its sun's movements, it is not found by gravitational lensing is it? I am rather fond of Miles Mathis explanation for refracting light due to dust and gas. It seems science has id'd gas clouds and dust rings everywhere so gravitational lensing is passe.
And still no data from WISE on such ones. Maybe there are not only Neburus in the distant open clusters but also Yuggoths in our Oort Cloud backyard… ha!
One such thing in a 200 ly-across volume is much, much rarer than normal stars. Even accounting for observational bias, if only 100 megayear-or-less old planets are detected (x50), less massive are more likely to be ejected, and only the volume of AB Doradus cluster is scanned (x150), there is a pretty high chance that alpha Cen Bb is the closest terrestrial-mass world after Venus, Mars and Mercury…
We already know from microlensing surveys that they are about as frequent as stars. Our system would meet them fairly often. And if they are as large or larger than Jupiter their residual heat would show up for billions of years.
That would still mean your last estimate is good though.
Prefer Orphan planets as a collective, however how can any sort of estimate be made with ANY confidence from such a small sample ?
In this case the observation combines with an earlier microlensing survey, which had fairly good confidence. (See my earlier comment for more.)
The microlensing surveys relies on searching many possible events, so even if they only turn up a handful of events they give good confidence.
Q: "7 or so suns".
A: ~ 30 stars (see my previous comments).
Q: "orbiting".
A: Likely no, but still open question (see the article).
C: "since you see it by its sun's movements".
A: No, by emission (see the article).
C: " Mathis explanation for refracting light due to dust and gas."
Dust and gas refracts light, but that has nothing to do with gravitational lensing, an often occurring phenomena which is readily separated from other mechanisms.
C: "gravitational lensing is passe".
No. This is for example how we know the frequency of rogues (see my previous comments).

We stress breaking the rules of Senior photography because we feel that much of the output in this field is boring. The same old poses, the same uninspired lighting, the same eerie grins from the student and the same old detachment that seems to have taken over the industry. Traditional photography has become using people as mannequins.
Well, people aren't mannequins. They're people...Living, breathing, moving, thinking people who have myriad emotions just waiting to be captured by a camera. And traditional certainly doesn't mean boring.
To us, a Traditional Portrait is simply a very well thought out portrait. Unlike journalistic rapid fire shooting that is used to catch immediacy and spontaneity the Traditional Portrait is to show you at your most beautiful. We pay great attention to lighting you and relaxing you into the perfect environment for subtle expression. We are aware of showing you off at your very best: Best facial expressions, best body line, best twinkle in your eye for what you'd like to express about yourself. This takes time, expertise and simply a good eye for the art of the picture. But most of all it takes communication with you and experience from us.
Sadly many students shy away from the "Traditional" portrait. That's too bad because I'm afraid it may seem boring to them because they've seen it done so poorly so often. How many times must we be put into an uncomfortable position just waiting for the release of someone saying smile so we can unwind? For that matter, how many times must we be told to smile?
We promise to never make you smile if you don't want to.
Our Traditional Portraits can be some of the most favored by family and, yes, even the student. Contrary to popular opinion, sometimes our kids like to look really good. And our Traditional Portraits can definitely do that.

LAFAYETTE — The next Lafayette Regional Airport aviation director, who is expected to be appointed this fall, will step into a buzz of activity on projects worth tens of millions of dollars, as the facility improves and expands.
And that's in addition to the daily takeoffs and landings of commercial and private planes.
"It's getting extremely busy," said Matt Cruse, chairman of the seven-member Airport Commission.
The aviation director position became vacant June 15 when longtime Director Greg Roberts resigned abruptly. Roberts' salary was $118,000 annually.
Roberts was placed on administrative leave after an incident June 11 in which he allegedly pointed a toy gun at an engineer during a disagreement.
The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office investigated the incident and turned over the findings to Lafayette Parish District Attorney Mike Harson. Harson has not indicated whether he'll pursue charges against Roberts. Harson on Thursday did not answer an email seeking comment.
Airport operations are being handled now by interim Director Mike Burrows, who is 38 and joined Lafayette Regional in 2002. Burrows said he intends to apply for the director's job.
The commission is forming a five-member search committee that will set the bar of what job candidates must reach to be considered. The committee will include three Airport Commission members, one Lafayette City-Parish Council member and one chosen from the local business community, Cruse said.
The search criteria will be given to Larry Sides, of Sides & Associates, to advertise nationally for a director.
Cruse said he plans to hire a human resources firm to help Sides & Associates delve into the backgrounds of the job candidates and whittle the candidate list to 10. After further vetting, the list will be narrowed to five for interviews, then to three, who will meet face-to-face with commission members.
The hiring process should take no more than three months, Cruse said, and the person hired will have to hit the runway running.
A range of projects ongoing or about to start include:
- Construction of a $3 million aircraft taxiway.
- General aviation ramp improvements for noncommercial aircraft at a cost of $8 million.
- Lengthening an access road that, when finished, will circle the runways and taxiways. The $4.2 million project involves constructing a new cement road that will tie into an existing asphalt road that will be overlaid.
- Building a new cargo facility for carriers FedEx and UPC, which will remove those companies' big cargo planes from the congested middle of the airport. The project is being funded with $5 million in state capital outlay money.
- Construction of a hangar to assemble Bell Helicopters' new short line single, or SLS, model. The Bell facility will be built near the airport's air traffic control tower. The hangar is being built with $26.3 million in money from Louisiana and will be owned by Lafayette Regional Airport. The 14.5-acre plot where the hangar is to be built is undergoing an environmental assessment before construction.
- A proposed new terminal for commercial passengers estimated to cost upward of $90 million. Lafayette Parish voters Dec. 6 will decide whether to impose a temporary 1-cent sales tax to finance the project. The tax would run for eight months in 2015 and raise an estimated $35 million. The remaining $55 million of the $90 million tab would come from state and federal matching grants.
"If the Dec. 6 ballot is approved by voters, the wheels will really start to turn," Cruse said.
Future projects still on the drawing board include improving one private hangar and razing another, making room for a new corporate hangar and construction of a new Acadian Ambulance facility.
Burrows said airport operations have gone smoothly in the weeks since Roberts resigned. Burrows was assistant aviation director under Roberts before taking over the top job in mid-June.

I'm so sorry to hear of the embarrassment that your condition is causing you. It is well-known that rosacea can cause feelings of frustration and low self-esteem because of its chronic nature and because it affects the face.
As I'm sure you have experienced yourself, rosacea is also a relapsing condition and so there are times when the symptoms are particularly bad and then others when they are much less of an issue.
Rosacea is a condition that is poorly understood but it is known that there are several triggers that can cause it to worsen. These include exposure to sunlight, cold and windy weather, stress, alcohol and certain foods etc. Limiting exposure to such triggers is a starting point in reducing the severity of flare-ups.
It is difficult to give you specific information tailored to you because I don't know which cream you are using and whether you are under the care of a dermatologist etc. Certainly there are several types of creams that can be helpful. Most of these require regular and persistent use for you to gain the best from them.
As you already know, antibiotics are also used, either alone or in combination with a cream. They are particularly used in cases where spots and pustules are more severe. Doxycycline does not suit everybody but there are other possible antibiotics that could be used that you might tolerate better. I think a discussion regarding this with your GP would be worthwhile.
If these types of treatments are not successful, even if used correctly, then in some cases patients are referred to a dermatologist who may consider other options such as isotretinoin. This is a treatment which is more commonly used for severe acne but is sometimes used in rosacea. Due to its side effect profile it can only be prescribed by a consultant. They also sometimes use Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL treatment) which can be useful for severe cases of flushing, redness and visible blood vessel.
If you would like to discuss this in more detail please do not hesitate to contact our Health at Hand team on 0800 003 004.

Tomato Eggplant Curry with Chile & Lime
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: A lovely, simple, flavorful curry full of Southeast Asian flavors.
I don't normally salt large eggplants as I find most varieties nowadays aren't too bitter. However, I find the smaller Asian varieties are very bitter and do still require that extra salting step to eliminate the bitter aftertaste. To make sure I always have the base curry ingredients on hand, I have bags of long red chiles, kaffir lime leaves, and grated ginger all ready to go in bags in my freezer. And as always, please make sure you read over the ingredients listed on the back of your coconut milk tin; it should only read coconut and water. That's it. —Emma Galloway | My Darling Lemon Thyme
Food52 Review: This was amazing. It's one of the tastiest curries I've made in a long time and I loved every bite. The instructions were well written and thought out. I had a really hard time finding serrano chile, so I used half a large jalapeño (in both sections of the recipe) and the heat was perfect. The only modification I would make to the recipe is to chop the spring onions into sections, slice the jalapeños, and dice the garlic. I followed the insructions (and didn't cut any of them) and it took a while to soften the ingredients. I loved this recipe. —Victoria Ross
Serves: 4 to 6
Tomato Paste
small long Asian eggplants, sliced into 1 1/2-cm (a little more than 1/2-inch) rounds
tablespoon grapeseed oil
spring onions (scallions)
clove garlic
tablespoons finely grated ginger
serrano chile
small tomatoes, peeled and finely chopped (see note)
tablespoons coconut or dark palm sugar
tablespoons tomato paste
teaspoon fine sea salt
Curry Sauce
tablespoons grapeseed oil
medium red onion, finely sliced
400-milliliter can coconut milk
serrano chile, thinly sliced
cup roughly chopped coriander (cilantro)
kaffir lime leaves, stem removed, finely shredded
tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lime
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Steamed jasmine rice and fresh herbs, to serve
- First up lay the eggplant slices out onto a tray in a single layer. Sprinkle with a little salt and set aside for 30 minutes. Rinse off salt and pat eggplant slices dry with a clean tea towel or paper towel. To make the tomato paste, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add spring onion, garlic, ginger, and chile, and cook, stirring often, for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Add chopped tomatoes, sugar, tomato paste, and salt, and continue to cook for a further 6 to 8 minutes or until the tomatoes are pulpy. Remove from the heat and purée with a stick blender to a fine paste.
- Wash out the saucepan quickly and return to the heat over medium. Add the oil for the curry sauce. When hot add the eggplant (aubergine) slices and red onion and cook, stirring often for 8 to 10 minutes or until the eggplant is starting to soften. Add the coconut milk, prepared tomato paste, sliced chile, chopped coriander (cilantro), kaffir lime leaves, soy sauce, and lime zest and juice. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggplant is meltingly tender. Add a touch of water at any stage if the sauce is thickening up too much. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt/pepper, chile, lime juice, or sugar if needed to get the right balance of flavors. Serve hot over jasmine rice, scattered with coriander leaves, Thai basil, sliced chile, and a wedge of lime to squeeze.
- Note: To skin tomatoes; remove the hard core at one end and make a cross slit with a sharp knife on the other round end. Submerge into boiling water for 30 to 45 seconds, remove, and run under cold water. The skins should now slip off easily.

Submitted by Scott
She was no star. Millions of her devoted fans did not know her real name. To them she was Gladys Kravitz, the nosy neighbor of Liz Montgomery and Dick York who tickled Bewitched viewers as she gasped at the odd goings-on in the ABC-TV comedy.
Now she is gone, never to return.
Alice Pearce was loved as few stars, few actresses, ever are. The tiny, chinless woman who drove her TV husband (George Tobias) clear out of his cool with her astonished and astonishing screeches—"But I saw the broom sweeping and nobody was holding it!"—was known to her vast public only through the characters she portrayed.
Yet in countless homes, including Hollywood's, the sense of loss is great. The rooms seem sadder, emptier, colder, because Alice is gone and will no longer lift the hearts of men, women and children with her gift for evoking happy, healthy laughter.
It seems ironic to speak of the entertainment provided by Alice Pearce's comic talents as "healthy." At the height of her career, in her most successful impersonation, death stalked her every step like the shadow of an implacable hunter.
Two years ago, at the age of 45, she was stricken with an illness that led to an operation. The surgeon had but to take a look, and the fearful fact was disclosed: Alice Pearce had incurable cancer.
It was then, when others might have given themselves up to understandable despair that Alice began to play her finest roles.
For most of her career, Alice had been applauded by movie critics as "that outrageously mad comedienne." Now, in mortal crisis, Ms. Pearce faced her friends and public hiding her pain behind a smokescreen of clowning and funny stories. She may have been a "supporting player" in TV and movies, but she had assumed the center of the stage in real life as the heroine of a personal tragedy. She played the part so well that few knew of her ailment.
It was at this strangest of moments that life also cast her in another starring role—as heroine of a tender, unforgettable love story. Nine years ago, Alice became a widow after a happy marriage with John Rox (songwriter of such hits as "It's A Big, Wide, Wonderful World") and long mourned her loss quietly and alone. In 1964, still reeling from the report that her malady was "terminal," she faced a momentous decision.
For some time, Alice had been dating director Paul Davis but somehow never felt ready for a second marriage. Now, she could either reject her ardent suitor, shrouding her remaining months in darkness and disappointment, or she could do the incredible—by mustering her last resources of courage and marrying Paul "for as long as God gives us to make each other happy."
In September, 1964, Alice became Paul's wife, and not even her closest friends knew the heartbreak that lurked behind the loving eyes of the seemingly blissful pair.
Thus began the saga of a love that has seldom been equaled in the annals of show business. Paul Davis, a man with a huge appetite for living and with energy to burn, now gave himself completely and without a hint of regret to the care and contentment of his doomed wife. On her side, Alice never revealed by a whimper or complaint that she might be in pain. She did all and more than most normal women do to fill their home with beauty and brightness, and to give her husband a full measure of love, understanding, and joy.
A friend who visited them during the last year of Alice's life says, "She was never more amusing. She kept everyone in stitches, and the most marvelous part of it all was to watch Paul holding his sides with glee as his wife raced on with her rollicking anecdotes. None of us suspected how ill she was."
In recalling her friendship with Alice, Elizabeth Montgomery says, "I felt closer to Alice than to anyone I'd met in a long time. She was so dear, so outgoing, and the wonderful love that Paul gave her so unstintingly did much to sustain her at the end. My husband (director Bill Asher) and I felt particularly near to Alice and Paul because they were married after we met her. It had the effect of making us feel part of their lives.
"Shortly after Bewitched went on the air, a writer referred to the relationship between Bill and me as 'cloying.' It upset me. Then suddenly Alice poked her head through the doorway of my dressing room and said, 'Well, if you and Bill are cloying—wonder what that writer would say if he saw Paul and me? I guess the four of us should call ourselves The Real McCloys!'"
Liz also recalls that "Paul was Alice's best audience. She was full of fun to the very end. One day a still man was shooting gag pictures of her. He had her gaping at some of Samantha's witchery and trying to hold on to a broom that was about to fly off. After a while, the photographer said, 'Now, Alice, how about a few straight shots of you as you really are?' She looked at him with that funny expression nobody can duplicate and said, 'But, sweetie, I thought that's what we were doing.'
"Paul let out a howl of laughter. It just broke him up. You know, he gave himself to her. There had been two things Alice always yearned for—to own an art gallery and to write a book.
"Well," says Liz, "when they got married, Paul saw to it that they opened Pesha's Gallery and Framing Shop. Then, to fulfill her second wish, Alice began a journal. During the last period of her illness, she kept making notes in it. She had the idea that keeping a record of her daily symptoms, her bodily reactions to the drugs that were administered, might be of some help later in cancer research. It was typical of her to think, almost with her final breath, of others rather than herself.
"At all times, good or bad, she held steadfastly to a show of good cheer. Paul said afterward, 'I knew she did this for me and for her friends…to spare us unnecessary anguish…"
One of the quotes from the journal proves that this indeed was foremost in Alice's mind. She wrote: "I am a supremely happy woman in spite of my illness. I was never beautiful or glamorous, but I was blessed nevertheless with a rich career and the love of two fine men. Especially in the devotion of my dear Paul, have I found strength beyond measure. I am humbly grateful for a beautiful life…."
As the cancer grew in virulence, her flesh seemed to melt away. She weighed only about seventy pounds when she died. But when an unknowing actress friend asker her for her reducing diet, Alice merely laughed heartily and, without blinking an eye, replied that it was a "secret that she couldn't divulge."
Actually, although she often made light of her physical charms, she was never considered lacking in the attributes of feminine appeal.
To quote Gene Kelly, who worked with Alice in On The Town: "To me, she was really beautiful. I never saw her without thinking, 'What an utterly lovely woman this is.' And I know that I was one of many who thought so. Her flashes of wit, her authentic talents, and her interest in the people and events around her, set her apart as a woman created for love and happiness."
This sentiment is echoed by another friend, Debbie Reynolds. "I was hardly alone in loving Alice," says Debbie. "Everyone loved her. She was a rare person, one of God's very special people. What was she like? Well, she was like a little hummingbird, very sweet, very busy, very tender. I first worked with her in 1952 at the Dallas State Fair Theater in Best Foot Forward. Then she went back to New York, and we never met again until four years ago. We were making My Six Loves at the time, and she was a living doll to work with."
Remembrance of laughter
"It was funny, she couldn't drive but her part was that of a driver of a school bus, Well, in her first scene—she'd never told the director she couldn't drive—she was supposed to take the bus a certain distance and stop short, but Alice kept going until she ran into a wall. Out she came with that laugh of hers: 'There are two pedals down there and I've forgotten which one is the brake.'
"On the next take," Debbie smiles reminiscently, "she was to push a button that opened the bus door. She fiddled around and finally quipped, 'I must have lost my buttons.' Finally, they put a man in the bus and had him lie on the floor to push the brake and button, but then she shifted gears without putting in her clutch!
"Anyway, but the time they finished, I was whooping so hard all my makeup was spoiled and had to be redone. Her timing was perfect. When you were in a scene with her, you just resigned yourself to having it stolen from you."
Debbie was one of those who first noticed Alice's loss of weight. They were appearing in a skit together at the Thalians' Ball. "I said that she was looking like a young girl, all trimmed down," recalls Debbie. "She winked at me and said, 'Yes, I'm out to become the newest sex symbol in Hollywood.' That was last September, and her friends still didn't realize she was ill."
Jerry Davis, producer of Bewitched, testifies to the fact that "Alice worked to the day she could no longer stand on her feet. We all were aware by then that she was sick but never discussed it with her because we realized that was the way she wanted it. She appeared before the cameras for the last time on January 21.
"The episode in which she was last seen was shown on television a week after she was gone. All of us watched it. All of us wept."
Another who admired and mourned Alice Pearce was Agnes Moorehead, who plays the mother-witch, Endora, on the show. In a voice trembling with grief, she recalled, "Alice and I had many things in common. For one thing, she was an eccentric, and so am I. I've always felt that it was wrong to hold back on eulogies until after people are dead. Why not tell them how you admire, respect, or love them while they are still able to appreciate it? In the case of Alice, I do believe she knew how we felt about her, and this goes for the crew as well as the cast. She was always kind and considerate of everyone.
"She was lucky in one respect. She had Paul. So few of us can say as much. It is not easy to find a love that true, faithful, and wholly committed. It was thrilling just to see them together, he so attentive, she so glowingly proud and happy that this much-admired man was hers."
Dick York points out: "It was impossible, no matter how down the company was feeling, not to be cheerful around Alice. She never brought any problems to the set. Her illness would have given her every right to be irritable, but she never was."
Richard Deacon of The Dick Van Dyke Show was an especially close friend of Alice's in the last four years. As he tells it, "we met through a mutual friend a long time ago in New York City. She was the type of human being that nice people insisted on passing around as a favor to other nice people. They introduced her as if they were conferring an honor, and it was. She had a genuine genius for friendship."
He was one of the few "honored to be left a goodbye note from Alice." It moved him deeply. The note was serene and brief. It said: "Thank you for being a wonderful friend. Please look after my Pesha (Paul in Hungarian) as he will need friends now, and please give my love to the two great ladies, Jane Dulo and Cynthia Lindsay."
Richard ("Deke as he is known to friends) likes to reminisce about Alice. "One night I arrived at her home and said 'I need a needle and thread. The seat of my pants split.' I was pretty embarrassed—not only because of my pants splitting but because I'd gained weight and none of my clothes fit! And, as it happened, that was the night we were to fly to Las Vegas for an opening.
"Alice, I might add, was dressed to kill in a blushing-pink dress with matching coat. As we were leaving for the airport, Alice saw that I was still feeling embarrassed. So she said, 'Look, Deke, I want to show you something.' Then she took off her coat and showed me that her lovely dress was entwined from neck to waist with white shoelaces. "'I split my dress because I've gained too much weight too,' she told me. 'And this is how I fixed it for tonight! So let's make a bargain. Neither of us will remove our coats and we'll eat like sparrows tonight.'"
Remembrance of a lady
Although she refused to discuss her illness, Richard knew the worst, and tried to find reasons for sending her flowers as often as he could. Alice, he smiles ruefully, always played the game of not understanding what he was up to. The last ones he sent her were for Valentine's Day. "I addressed the card 'To My Valentines,'" he explains, "which would include Paul. He, too, played the game and never let on for a moment that her illness was terminal.
"Two days later, I received a thank-you note from her. It was dated Feb. 16—and on March 3, she was gone. Think of that greatness. How did she ever find the strength and resolution to attend to such a small matter when she knew death was so near? But then, of such quality was Alice made. She was a lady through and through."
The two "great ladies" mentioned by Alice in her posthumous note to Deacon are still shattered by her death. Asked to recall "something typical" of her friend, actress Jane Dulo replied, "Since Alice didn't drive, I told her she should call on me any time she needed to go shopping or for an interview. It was when she first came out here. But, as I expected, she didn't call. She hated to impose on people. She simply took taxis.
"It was this same feeling of consideration that prevented her from confiding her trouble to anyone. She preferred to make her friends feel that everything was coming up rosy."
Jane worked with Alice in the Broadway version of On The Town, in which Alice had a featured role and Jane understudied the star, Nancy Walker. "The first night I had to step in for Nancy, Alice was as excited as I was. She couldn't have been more helpful.
"She was a wonderful listener, interested and sympathetic. But basically, I'd say she was a loner, in spite of the love she inspired in all sorts of people. I knew her a year before I went to visit her in her apartment. That's when I discovered her talent as a painter. She'd never mentioned it before.
"Later I learned other things about her—that she was crazy about antique and thrift shops; that she never felt quite dressed without a hat, usually one with a kooky little touch. She was also one of those people who manage to be proper without being stuffy. A dear, absolutely feminine, womanly woman."
Cynthia Lindsay, author of The Natives Are Restless, Mother Climbed Trees and many other books and teleplays, found it difficult to speak of her lost friend. "It's so strange," she mused. "I didn't know Alice for a long time… and yet I feel as though I knew her so well." It is perhaps one of the finest tributes to Alice Pearce.
Many others in show business have offered their bouquets to this remarkable woman. Imogene Coca, Nancy Walker, Carol Channing, and Ethel Merman are among those who expressed their high regard. But clearly, the most touching and emotion-laden offering to Alice was given by the man she adored in life, her husband, Paul Davis.
At her request, there were no funeral services. A small, bereaved group attended the cremation of her body. Still following Alice's wishes, Paul rented a plane and, with shaking hands, scattered her ashes over the billowing Pacific, in the direction of Hawaii, where they had spent a belated honeymoon. She had always loved the sea, finding it both mysterious and calming.
The man who had bathed and fed her when she was too weak to function on her own; who had nursed her, given her the pain-killing injections, lifted her on and off her bed in order to smooth her sheets or change them—and who wept in the privacy of his room as the hour of their final parting approached—Paul Davis managed to express his profound grief.
"A week before Alice died," he said in a strangled voice, "she asked me whether I believed in miracles. Knowing there was no hope for a case of terminal cancer, I still felt I must make a pretense for her sake. I smiled and said, 'Of course I do, darling—and so must you.' She smiled back at me. 'I'm glad. Because you know, dear, we've already had our miracle.'
"She was never bitter. One day she said to me, 'God closes one door only to open another.' I somehow know that this is true. Alice never went into a coma. She said goodbye to me just before she died.
"For as long as I live, as God is my witness, I will
never forget the wonder of what happened to me these past couple of
years. I'll never forget the miracle that was Alice Pearce and
the love we shared."

Hundreds pray, fast for Utah boy burned over 40 percent of his body
cjb Bountiful, UTJuly 12, 2014 4:30 p.m.
Re fully present
Quite likely the blessing came after they doused him with water and called the ambulance / life flight and before the life flight arrived.
cjb Bountiful, UTJuly 12, 2014 4:13 p.m.
Is it known what caused the explosion? If so why doesn't this article state why or st least say the cause is unknown.
He is obviously a very thoughtful/considerate kid. Thinking to reassure his parents he not to worry he will be okay at a time like this. My thoughts and prayers are with him.
Sal Provo, UTJuly 12, 2014 3:01 p.m.
It would be good for the family to let the community know what Max was doing that caused the explosion. It could be a wake up to other youth contemplating similar experiments if it was. It isn't necessary to criticize a teenager; it might be necessary to let others know in order to avoid a repeat.
hockeymom Highland, UTJuly 12, 2014 8:13 a.m.
I'm hearing about Max and they Stay family in Alberta. Canada. Seems like prayers are coming your way from all around the world!
Fullypresent Salt Lake City, UTJuly 11, 2014 11:22 p.m.
He has burns over 40% of his body, could have died, and they give him a blessing before they get him urgent medical care? Couldn't the blessing have come after they sought out medical care? Sad story. Hope he makes it as well as that poor girl in Texas.
genbug47 Hamilton, MTJuly 11, 2014 5:21 p.m.
Prayers of comfort and peace and healing are needed for the family in Houston Texas. All but one of the Stay family were killed by a gunman when he invaded their home. The 15 year old daughter survived and was able to call 911 which saved other family members from this gunman but she remains in critical condition. Prayers are definitely needed there for both families of the parents who were killed. They were a lovely LDS family in the North Houston Stake, I think.
As for Max, prayers do continue. He is a miracle as well. God bless them all.
plpamlee Cedar hills , UTJuly 11, 2014 9:24 a.m.
I just read this story..My husband and I are on a mission in NM and we live in Cedar Hills.We pray for continuing miracles for Max and strength for each family member
Sister Lee

Our prayers are with you, MAX. Keep trust in the Lord and He will do the rest.

WOW! Thank you for sharing such a personal story. My prayers for "Miracle Max" will be added to the growing number of people already praying for him.

UI student charged with intoxication, trespassing at Old Capitol Mall
A UI student has been accused of taking his clothes off and singing loudly at the Old Capitol Town Center while under the influence.
Nathan Fleming, 22, 326 N. Dubuque St., was charged Tuesday with trespassing, consumption/intoxication, and disorderly conduct.
According to an Iowa City police complaint, Fleming was acting strangely in the Old Capitol mall, taking his clothes off, singing loudly, speaking gibberish, and throwing his belongings in the recycling bin.
Mall security responded to the disturbance after other patrons or business owners complained to security officials. Fleming was reportedly asked to leave numerous times but ignored requests from mall security, the complaint said.
When officers asked Fleming, he said he was smoking marijuana "chronic" and continued to act strangely.
Trespassing, consumption/intoxication and, and disorderly conduct are serious misdemeanors.

My first thought was, "wow, the human race really is not evolving at all," and then I thought, "you know, it's laws like these that are partly to blame for that."
Back in the day, of course, human beings who thought it would be neat to hug or pet or maybe try to ride on a tiger, or any enormous carnivore, really, were swiftly removed from the gene pool, most likely well before they had a chance to breed more humans of that ilk. I assume, in fact, that scientists have proven that this exact scenario, repeated many thousands of times, is how we got to where we are today in the first place. After a while we sent the remaining dumbasses off to bunk with the Neanderthals, and away we went.
But today, these encounters mostly take place at circuses, county fairs, petting zoos, or as part of some other sort of exhibition in which the animal is somehow restrained or tranquilized in order to make it less likely to, let's say, devour someone who comes near it. These unfortunate restrictions on the animal have encouraged a trend that I have just now learned about (thanks to Tom and to the New York Post), one in which men have pictures taken of themselves snuggling with a tiger so that they can use said pictures in their dating profiles:
This has become sufficiently common that there's an entire blog (or tumblr, anyway) devoted to it.
Any New York gentlemen wanting to get in on this should do so while they still can, because the legislature is on the verge of passing a bill that would make the practice of tiger selfies illegal. It does not use that term, nor is it limited to tigers, but that's the gist of it: The law would make it illegal for any person required to have a license under the federal Animal Welfare Act "to knowingly allow the public to have direct contact with a big cat."
"Big cat" is defined to mean any species of lion, tiger, leopard (except for clouded leopards), jaguar, mountain lion, or any hybrid of these; "direct contact" means "physical contact or proximity where physical contact is possible, including, but not limited to, allowing a photograph to be taken without a permanent physical barrier" between human and animal. Violating the law would result in a fine of $500 for a first offense or $1000 after that.
This is entirely the wrong approach.
I think we need to do one of two things: (1) make it illegal to cart these mostly rare and once dignified animals around at all; or (2) continue to allow it but only as long as the animals are kept alert, well armed, and slightly underfed.
Think about it. These people are using the pictures in dating profiles. This is exactly the situation in which the individual should either be proven fit by having successfully taken a selfie with a fully alert deadly predator through great strength, speed, and/or cunning; or else prevented from mating entirely by being eaten first. The race can start its slow upward trek again, animals get some of their dignity back, and we'll save tons of money on tiger feed. Also, think of the ratings.
Yes, I suppose women could achieve the same result by simply not mating with anyone who has a tiger selfie for his profile. They could. But I still think legislation is a good idea.
Update: as reader Justin points out, these are not technically "selfies"—or at least the one above is not, as a "selfie" is by definition a picture taken of oneself. I should not have aped the NY Post in using that term, especially since, now that I think about it, "New York to Ban Tiger Snuggling" (or "Tiger-Snuggling Portraits") seems better anyway. I'm going to leave it, though, because in fact the law does ban tiger selfies, it just goes beyond that to reach other kinds of man-tiger portrait interactions as well. I just wanted to clarify that detail.

I never feel I have a moment to catch my breath - I've truly felt guilty at times writing my blog or reading a book as that attention should be directed towards the ever growing virtual stack (via email) of scripts that I should be reading for clients and my own production company.
I've also realized that not spending as much time on Twitter or on my blog has made me direct more attention back to my company and therefore wonderful things are happening. I've always wanted to have my own company - I'm not good taking orders from others, I will do if I must! Having spent most of my life working in the corporate world I took a risk a few years ago, leaving a high profile job, the security of a monthly pay check and a very hefty expense account to initially start up my new company from the dining room table in my house (I had to leave sooner than expected). I remember being so afraid - I worked 7 days a week without a break, not wanting to divert my attention for a moment as the bills were starting to pile up and it seemed like money was drifting out the windows. That's a hard habit to break - working 24/7.
I'm trying to teach myself that the sky is not going to fall if I read a design magazine, wander through blogs I like or perhaps even read a book! And also to catch my breath - and remember its not all or nothing.

A reader wants to know:
Hi Laurie, quick question that I would love your input on: I've always been told that work history of a short nature (under two years) looks fishy to employers, but do you think this is still true with an unstable economy? Are today's HR professionals looking at job history with a different eye? Thanks much!
Today's HR professionals don't have much of an authentic role in the recruiting process. We push paper and talk about unimportant shit like the importance of hiring someone for a 'cultural fit'.
You will be selected for an interview based on three scenarios:
- You'll know someone at the company — most likely the hiring manager or the owner of a small firm.
- Your skills will match an algorithm that is liked to the criteria in a job description.
- A third-party recruiter will pre-screen your resume and you will be selected for an interview based on the recruiter's discretion.
I would worry about what a recruiter thinks before I would worry about Human Resources.
What will recruiters and hiring managers think about your short job history? It depends on context.
- If there is forward progression in your career, don't sweat it.
- If you hate your job and keep moving around, you're screwed.
Context is key. Are you a dynamic guy with excellent references? Or are you a chump?
– Laurie

Nawaz, Shahbaz out of election raceDecember 8th, 2007 - 9:02 pm ICT by admin
Lahore, Dec 8 (ANI): Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his brother Shahbaz Sharif are finally out of the election race, as they did not challenge their disqualification, saying that they would not seek justice from PCO judges.
The last day for the filing of appeals against decisions of returning officers pertaining to acceptance and rejection of nomination papers was on Friday.
The election tribunal office at the Lahore High Court confirmed that they had not received any appeal from Nawaz and Shahbaz on the last day, The News reported.
However, the Sharif brothers have sent letters to the Chief Election Commissioner to record their protest against the rejection of their papers, Khwaja Haris, their lawyer, said.
Citing reasons for sending letters to the CEC, Haris said the Sharif brothers considered the CEC as the only official who had not taken oath under the PCO.
Nawaz, in his letter, has complained that the returning officer had rejected his papers on the basis of incomplete and unverified record, Haris said.
Nawaz pointed out that his papers were accepted in 2002 when he was in exile, but in 2007 his papers had been dismissed despite the fact that over the last five years circumstances had changed in their favour.
Haris quoted Shahbaz as saying that it had never happened in the history that a person was barred from contesting elections on the ground that a case stood registered against him.
Shahbaz made the point that neither the People Representative Act 1976 nor the Constitution rendered such a person ineligible to participate in elections.
He said under the election law, a person who was convicted on the basis of "abscondence" could be disqualified, said Haris quoting Shahbaz. (ANI)
