Add-ons Mirror (http://addonsmirror.net) formerly known as The Extensions Mirror (TEM – http://extensionsmirror.nl) has come to a close today, after almost a year of posting being disabled entirely and after a couple years of not being updated regularly it has finally become too much of a server resource hog that I along with Samir have decided to just shut it down for good. It was good while it lasted, I believe I got involved in 2005-2006 but I cannot recall. But I had a great time working alongside with Samir and Jane.
Unfortunately as mentioned, posting was disabled due to excessive spam posts and recently it has just acted as a constant DDoS on my server causing problems with my other customers and clients.
I have a backup of the website if anyone is interested in anything, please shoot me an email here.
Thanks Shaun ~ aka Sheppard.

Online Anonymity is Good, But it Takes Work on Everyone's Part
Here I sit, in the same public space where two years ago, about this same time, connected to public wi-fi, I created http://minimsft.blogspot.com/ and shot out two initial posts and then a third noting the web feed URL. Whew, that July 2004 was a busy month! And it has been a hell of an uphill ride from there... I've learned a lot and I feel like a lot has been accomplished at Microsoft, along with sharing and discovering information in and about Microsoft that have helped countless Microsofties.
How's the score? Microsoft sure has gotten bigger, with no end to expansion in sight. Mini-Microsoft 0, Maxi-Microsoft 20,000.
Nevertheless, given that lots of good changes are emerging (first LisaB and now Sinofsky world), I've put away the pointy stick and have pushed the mental pause button here. It seemed, however, some kind of news event happened every week... so I put up a matching post for discussion: Scoble leaving, Gates 'retiring,' Vic leaving, etc etc. But between that and no mini-essays, the commenting sort of meandered along. And the comments got a bit nasty, not helped by my mis-approval ability.
So I've now cranked up the comment moderation quality gates.
Anonymity check. Is anonymous commenting a good thing? Is anonymous anything a good thing? Why is the EFF so passionate about anonymous rights? Hmm. It's a good discussion to have. My immediate answer is an affirming, "Yes, anonymous protection is a good thing. Judge the content on its own merits, not by the speaker." Other people's immediate answer is "No way! The message is ignorable without a person standing by it!"
While TDavid has been ragging on me for a while, recently Scoble flipped the bit and ripped through the commenting here, basically saying:
- Anonymity is cowardly, especially backstabbing co-worker anonymous commenters.
- No worthwhile content can come from unsigned, anonymous sources.
- I'm being used by the commenters here with their anti-Microsoft agenda.
- This blog is now harming Microsoft more than it's helping.
- Non-Microsofties frequently pose as Microsofties to post as part of a subtle, intentional tear-down of Microsoft via Mini-Microsoft.
Surprise! It was as if I switched on the TV and saw Scoble's face pasted over Kanye West, saying, "Mini-Microsoft is bad for Microsoft!" Oh, and Dare jumped on that bad wagon, too, also hedging that this blog has jumped the shark again (third time's a charm, I guess).
Counter to this, Adam Barr also weighs in with Scoble vs. Mini (nice! reasonable!).
Now then, Scoble was coming off of a totally justified reaction to the harsh comments posted around his former team, Vic, and the newly designated leader. Doug Mahugh has a follow-up on that and anonymity: Doug's World » Response to Robert Scoble. But, damn, when Scoble's bit gets flipped, it really gets flipped.
So he's in the very anti-anonymous world right now. Anonymity bad. Cowardly. Useless. And Scoble signs out of Mini-Microsoft land for good. Hmmph. Maybe he's pulling a Dvorak here, or this is an indoctrination into the crazy uncle club. On one hand, since I respect Scoble a super-great deal, it gives me a good bit to think about (and thus this post). On the other hand, it makes me want to proclaim Tuesday July 11th 2006 as "Be Robert Scoble Day" and sign your posts and comments across the web and blogosphere as Robert Scoble so that everything you write has a proper name associated with it. To quote Scoble, "Heh."
As for Microsoftie-posers contributing comments here: duh. Sorry I can issue forth anything more intellectual than that, but I'm sure it happens. Which posts, though? I have my suspicions, but I can't be 100% sure, so I break out the salt. Scoble quotes a reliable-kept-anonymous source as being quite in the know of all these posers here. The same source likes to spread similar FUD about how it's no more than thirty-some people rotating through various roles posting comments here. And how folks here are all a bunch of whiners. I know, we live in the age of saying it makes it so. I can't invoke divine wisdom on every Microsoftie post to clearly understand if it's blue-badged or not, though somehow this Agent Smith can. Take two grains of salt in search of your own opinion in the world of grey here.
One thing I can rely on is the community that's part of the conversation here to call B.S. on things that are suspicious, or when something gets through that shouldn't. Do you think a particular comment looks suspicious? Call B.S. on it an explain why. Your B.S. calling doesn't make it through my newly modified highly fortified comment filter? Link to that post in your own blog calling B.S.
As an anonymous blogger, it would be wrong for me not to extend the same to the commenters here. I have to. But I've heard everyone's feedback, too: the moderation quality has to be better. And please whip out the B.S. stamps and let me know when it's not.
Other commenters recent opinions on this topic (sorry if it seems like a love-fest - if you have differing opinions, submit them or link to this post):
(1) Until Mini came along, Microsoft thought their entire stack of management was super, and very well respected by employees. The reason they thought this is that detractors were tarred as traitors, whispering campaigns were started against them, and they were managed out. This summed up nicely with Ballmer's statement during the recent town hall: "if you're still using Google raise your hands." No, the first amendment is good for something, and nicely applied here.
(2) Not singling anyone out, but if there had been no way to anonymously post during the lengthy "stack ranking" discussion, is it likely the changes seen recently would have occurred at all?
(3) If it means anything, I think you're serving a valuable purpose for fellow employees. Without your forum, there's no sanity check for individual observations.
(4) Mini, if ever you were in doubt about the amount of good or bad that can happen through minimsft blog, I hope those have now evaporated. Although unelected by us and sometimes your posts are fluff:), your blog has provided an avenue for exchanges that were hitherto impossible.
Do not let this go to waste. Several times the site has jumped the shark with the unchecked or poorly checked comments but several times it has managed to come back to relevancy. Like Scoble or not, there is some truth in his remarks above. While I don't believe the era of Mini is over, I doubt my MS is being helped by some of the things you let through on a consistent basis.
(5) I'm an ex-employee and current shareholder. My experience then and now is that unfortunately, in more cases than not, MSFT's leadership responds to pressure vs proactively doing the right thing. When that pressure doesn't exist or can be easily ignored, MSFT often makes no course correction at all. We see this competitively, legally, internally and wrt customers/partners and especially shareholders. Dare's right that some unfortunate comments have made it through the filter and included "character assassination, racism, sexism, fear mongering, unfounded allegations of sexual misconduct, information leaking" etc, but that's not a whole lot different than many conversations over coffee at MSFT locations worldwide - or most other companies for that matter (regretably). More importantly, in my experience, comments like that have overwhlemingly been the exception vs the rule. Again as a shareholder, I think your site has done more than ANY to foster questioning of current management by both internal and external stakeholders and that's a GREAT thing given their penchant for ignoring the numerous and very obvious current concerns. When we get CONCRETE signs that senior leadership is willing and able to make the difficult course corrections (including changing the dysfunctional corporate culture) w/o external pressure, then your site's contribution may no longer be needed. Until then, I hope you'll keep at it and ignore the naysayers.
(6) The vast majority of us (who actually read lots of blogs every day) appreciate what you are doing. Not everyone realizes yet that this site is going to help mold the future of the company and maybe even bring it into the 21st century as far as how the tech world and how employees gather information and share thoughts and mature debate.
Please edit out the random trolls and potential planned posts that seem to be geared to distracting from and discrediting the mini focus.
(7) This blog is awesome simply because it IS anonymous, and people can post without fear of retalliation. Given the cloistered and clannish atmosphere at Microsoft, this is not cowardice or paranoia. It's common sense.
(8) Those in power to make a difference (LisaB?) who happen to read the blog will automatically ignore those items that don't happen to be true and posted anonymously and filter them away as noise. However, complaints that have an objective point and are posted anonymously will be considered on their merits because everyone who *really* works here knows its true. Therefore, ignoring the comment, because its anonymous, is illogical because employees can attest to its veracity and are able to contemplate the argument presented based on the content of the message itself. Moreover, upper management knows that impactful messages resonate strongly with the masses *despite* their anonymity (the discussion about stack rank is a representative example). As such, these anonymous discussions can certainly form the seeds of revolution. Ignore actual employees who post incorrectly because of their error; these are typically corrected later on by another employee and as such, the former's anonymous (incorrect) message has no impact.
So, damn me and cast aspersions upon me, but I'm going to keep keeping on.
Any other thoughts?
Oh, and finally: if some poor potential candidate came to Mini-Microsoft as part of their decision-making to join Microsoft and got scared away, well, great! Who would make such a judgment based on the radical content of a blog slavishly devoted to down-sizing Microsoft? Not someone I want on my team. Instead, I'd expect them to use it to have a challenging conversation with their recruiter and hiring manager so that they could start a job with eyes wide open and savvyness set to eleven.
Updated: corrected spelling of Doug Mahugh's last name. Sorry!

My First Visit to Chipotle
And I confess: I'm guilty. I've been counting down the days to try this all-natural, veg-friendly burrito joint. Tonight, Paul and I made the 20-minute drive from our house to the Chipotle in East Memphis. When we arrived, there was a line out of the door and down the block. Paul wasn't really all that excited about Chipotle, especially when he saw the line. But he waited with me anyway! Here he is waiting outside, forcing a smile:
Once inside, we stood in line for at least 30 minutes. But everyone around us was very nice. Our line neighbors raved on and on about how good the food was based on the time they'd tried Chipotle on a trip to Boston.
You can choose between a vegetarian black bean burrito, a bowl, tacos, or a salad. I opted for a burrito since that seemed like the ideal first meal choice. This burrito was loaded with black beans, cilantro-lime rice, corn salsa, pico, guacamole, sauteed veggies, hot salsa, tomatillo salsa, and lettuce:
We also ordered a side of guac, and it definitely lived up to all the hype. Best guacamole I've ever had for less than $3. I mean, my mom's is better. But for a restaurant, Chipotle has the best. In the end, I could only eat half of my big-ass burrito:
The other half will become tomorrow's lunch, along with the leftover chips and salsa.
Was Chipotle worth the 30 minute wait? Absolutely! The burrito was probably on par with Moe's in terms of taste, but that guac really takes the cake. I'd stand in line all over again for another tub of guac.
Do you have a Chipotle in your city? What do you order there?

I just went to Chipotle the other day, and my guac-hating hubby has been raving about the guacamole ever since. I don't know what it is about that guacamole, but it is awesome! It doesn't seem as "busy" as other guacamoles, I think. You can really taste the natural avocado yumminess.
- April 8, 2011 at 8:30 AM
I love Chipotle! Tampa has had Chipotle for years. We also have a local place call the Taco Bus. It ROCKS! If you are ever in Tampa - GO! They have tofu and vegan tamales. SO good. Anyway, about Chipotle, I always order the crispy tacos, veggie of course. I get my guac on the side though. You don't even have to pay extra if you get something veggie and don't get it on the tacos. YUM! I want Mexican food now.

I agree with the chipotle hype. I havent been there since i stopped eating meat though. I always feel like what ever I make at home would be much better. LOL they do have good guac though.

Oh yum! Now I'm craving Chipotle. I haven't had it in almost a year. I didn't realize until very recently that they are super vegan friendly. The nearest one is an hour away. =( Sadness.

I love Chipotle. It was a classic date spot for my boyfriend and me during undergrad, and it's still a go-to place when we want trusty mexican. They're seriously all over California.
Those burritos are ENORMOUS, but so good.
I usually get the burrito bowl and make them pile it high with the fajita veggies. I'm a pretty big fan. - April 8, 2011 at 10:23 AM

Oh man, I wish I'd gone to Chipotle for lunch today. The one down the street is still always full of people, though it's been there for several years...I usually get everything you got, but in the bowl format. Makes me just full enough to not feel like 'sploding :)

I used to love Chipotle - I would have to ask them to wash down the counters before making my meal or it would be smeared with dairy, they were cool. I had to stop due to the sodium, every time I ate Chipotle my head would be light from all of the salt.

The original Chipotle is about three blocks away from my house. I always get the black bean burrito with all the salsas and guacamole. Mmmm.... it's great hangover food! :)

- Jessica said...
I have actually never eaten at Chipotle, I don't much like Mexican food, but I can't believe there wasn't a Chipotle in your area before! I am from the Chicago area and there are TONS of them here, so the description of the line is so surprising to me because it's definitely not a novelty here, lol

- Leah said...
I guess Chipotle is pretty new in Nashville as well, and when I visit my friend there, I always want to go to Moe's or the local Baja Burrito, and she always wants Chipotle.... I like that Moe's has tofu and free salsa. I'm not a guacamole fan =\

- Katie said...
Having had a Chipotle in my life since I was 16, I cannot even wrap my mind around how this was your first time eating there! I probably get a burrito bol every 2 weeks or so... :P Best guac ever and the rice is just perfect - top it off with Tofutti sour cream and hot sauce and I'm in heaven.
- April 8, 2011 at 3:25 PM
- Jenni (aka Vegyogini) said...
I had to go to Montgomery, AL for work once about 5 or 6 years ago and was so thrilled to stumble upon Moe's for a tofu burrito! I personally find that way more exciting than Chipotle. We have Chipotle EVERYWHERE here and I've only eaten there twice (and not at all in the last 5 years). I'm so happy you enjoyed it, though, and that it was well worth the wait!

THAT wrap in the pic should have made it on the best vegan sandwiches post they did! In honor of Marly (http://www.namelymarly.com/) for calling out The Huffington Post on their not so friendly vegan sandwich article, it's an all Vegan weekend on LicketyPick.com. We've always been vegan friendly (a big chunk of our staff are vegans), but this weekend, we're going all out!
FYI, Huff Post made good and did a vegan version of their article (some really GREAT recipes). So there's no love lost. - April 8, 2011 at 3:47 PM

to me, chipotle has it all over moe's. my order: burrito bowl, black beans, rice (extra of both!!), hot salsa, corn salsa, guac, and lettuce. mmmm
- April 8, 2011 at 10:18 PM
- VeganLinda said...
They are all over Illinois. My three year old eats an entire bean burrito with guacamole so it is funny you could only eat half. :-) We have a local place which has tofu as an option so we prefer it over Chipotle, but when traveling it is nice to have a place to stop for a quick bite.

I used to eat chipotle a lot in Chicago but then found out that they were owned by McDonald's and boycotted. When they finally gained their independence I went back and have enjoyed eating there at least once every month or so. We have Moe's (and yes they do have tofu) and Tijuana Flats but as far as chain mexican nothing beats the big ass burritos at Chipotle. That's all I eat there, burritos. An earlier commenter mentioned the Taco Bus in Tampa and I am with them. Locally owned and great food.
- April 9, 2011 at 6:51 AM
Yes, the guac is seriously good. Next time, try the veggie burrito bowl- it's less filling, and you can dip your chips in it! Ever since one opened near me, I've become a Chipotle connoisseur. Your next!

I love, love, love Chipotle. When I became single instead of 1/2 a couple, I lost the desire to cook. So I fondly refer to Chipotle as my kitchen. They knew when they saw me what to start making.
Burrito bowl: Rice, black beans (can I have some more black beans please), mild salsa (pico), tomatillo salsa, guacamole (on the side) lettuce....if you ask they have cilantro back there too.
And to top it off the Chipotle Tabasco....
And here's a tip, anything they have the ingredients for they'll make for you. Non-Quesadilla (Tortilla on the grill with black beans, onions, peppers, etc), "Not"-chos (Chips on the bottom stuff on top), etc, etc.
Did I mention how much I love Chipotle? - April 9, 2011 at 3:09 PM

Hell yeah, I love me some Chipotle!! We got one where I live a few years ago, and I still eat there a few times a month. I love it!
I'm picking out the cities to go to grad school in based on whether they have a Chipotle or not. Ha ha. Joking.... kind of. :) - April 9, 2011 at 4:46 PM
- morganbb said...
Can't wait to go there! Especially since I work in this area. I've been hoping a chipotle's would open near us since I've heard such great things about the restaurant- they try to use local ingredients, the majority of the meat they use is farm raised with no hormones (even though I don't eat meat I have to respect that). Now I do agree Swanky's locally owned is awesome, but it makes me sad that their rice is cooked in chicken stock. I wonder if Chipotle's is too?

Having lived in the southwest my whole life, I have a hard time wrapping my head around the Chipotle madness. Not only have we had them for a while, but they're not even close to the best option anywhere I've ever lived. That said, I say do what you have to do to get your mexican food fix. The thought of life without it makes me sad.

We don't have a Chipotle, but we did just get a Qdoba, and if you have a chance to check it out you should. The guacamole is also amazing, and the salsa verde is super tasty. I always get the veggie burrito with both black and pinto beans because I can't decide what I like best.
- April 11, 2011 at 9:38 PM
I've been eating Chipotle for 10+ years in Cleveland, Ohio! I can't believe you got your first one just now. We probably have 20 locations in the area.
- April 19, 2011 at 10:22 PM
Chipotle is my favorite of the big Tex-Mex chains. But the closest one to me is too far to go at lunch. We have a Moe's nearby, but their burrito is not as good, costs more and they are stingy with the guac.
Oh Chipotle, open up one closer to me! - March 14, 2012 at 2:51 PM

Press Release
Rock Island, Ill. – A federal grand jury has returned an indictment charging a Henry county man, Steven D. Ford, 27, of Cambridge, Ill., with production and possession of child pornography. Ford was previously arrested and charged by federal criminal complaint in July 2012. Ford has remained in federal law enforcement custody since his arrest; the court granted Ford's request for psychiatric evaluation at a federal Bureau of Prisons facility. During a court hearing on Jan. 29, 2013, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas J. Shields, Ford was determined mentally competent and remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
The indictment charges Ford with two counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. The crimes allegedly occurred from June 2011 to July 2012. The indictment also seeks forfeiture of Ford's computer, cell phone and related equipment allegedly used in the offenses.
The charges were investigated by the U.S. Secret Service, the Henry County Sheriff's Office and the Davenport Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk W. Schuler.
If convicted, the statutory penalty for each count of production of child pornography is a mandatory minimum 15 years to 30 years in prison. For possession of child pornography, the penalty is up to 20 years in prison. Each of the child pornography offenses carry terms of supervised release of up to life following any term of imprisonment.
Members of the public are reminded that an indictment is merely an accusation; the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.

Here are facts that can help you keep your children safe:
Lead poisoning is a totally preventable disease.
Lead exposure can harm young children and babies—even before they are born.
Even children who seem healthy can have high levels of lead in their bodies.
Children can get lead in their bodies by breathing or swallowing lead dust, or by eating soil or paint chips with lead in them.
Removing lead-based paint improperly can increase the danger to your family.
CDC estimates show that about half a million children between the ages of 1 and 5 living in the U.S. have an elevated level of lead in their blood.
Lead is more dangerous to children than adults because:
They often put their hands and other objects in their mouths that can have lead dust on them.
Their growing bodies absorb more lead.
Their brains and nervous systems are more sensitive to the damaging effects of lead.
Children between the ages of 1 and 3 who live in low-income housing built before 1978 are especially at risk. In early 2005, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a new policy addressing lead in children's metal jewelry. There have been cases where children who swallowed or repeatedly sucked on jewelry items containing lead developed high blood lead levels. Since 2004, the Commission has recalled over 150 million pieces of toy jewelry that were sold in vending machines and through other outlets.
Lead poisoning can affect just about every system in the body yet often produces no definitive symptoms. The following are some of the most common symptoms of lead poisoning:
Damage to the brain and nervous system
Behavior and learning problems, or slowed growth
Hearing problems
Lead is also harmful to adults, and may cause:
Problems during pregnancy
Reproductive problems in both men and women
Kidney damage
High blood pressure
Digestive problems
Nerve disorders
Memory and concentration problems

High levels of lead may also cause seizures, coma, and death. The symptoms of lead poisoning may look like other conditions or medical problems. Always talk with your child's healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
If you think your home has high levels of lead, get your children tested. A simple blood test can find high levels of lead, and is important for:
Children who are 6 months to 1 year old (6 months if you live in an older home that might have lead in the paint). If your child is older than 1 year, talk to your child's healthcare provider about whether he or she needs testing.
Family members whom you think might have high levels of lead.
Your child's healthcare provider can test your child's blood levels. The tests are inexpensive or, in some cases, free. Your child's healthcare provider will explain the test results. Treatment can range from changes in your diet to medicines or a hospital stay.

Statement of Senator John Hoeven on Today's Votes in the U.S. Senate to Address Sequestration
WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven today issued the following statement in response to two votes taken today in the U.S. Senate to address the impending sequestration. Neither of today's measures passed the Senate:
"Today, I voted for a bill that would have given President Obama the flexibility to address the sequester in an effective and thoughtful way in order to minimize the impacts of spending reductions on the American people and on key programs like national defense, transportation safety and education.
"I voted against an alternative measure that would have used ten years of tax increases to pay for just one year's delay of the sequester - tax increases that would only hurt an already struggling economy and our ability to get on top of our debt and deficit. Further, the measure the administration proposed represents yet another tax increase in addition to the $600 billion increase the administration forced through just last month without any corresponding reductions in spending.
"Our nation's deficit in 2012 exceeded $1 trillion for the fourth year in a row, and our debt today exceeds $16 trillion. I believe the best way to address these financial challenges is by creating jobs for the 12 million Americans who remain out of work and growing our economy, which was up by less than one percent in the last quarter of 2012, despite assurances from the administration that we are in a recovery. By getting people back into the workforce, we can increase revenues the right way – by expanding our tax base and growing our economy rather than raising taxes.
"But the fact of the matter is that we need to find savings in addition to growing our economy to address our financial challenges. As a governor for ten years, that is what we did in North Dakota when we were on track to spend more than we had. Every governor in the nation has to make those difficult decisions, and so should the president.
"Controlling our spending and growing our economy are the keys to getting our nation's fiscal house in order."

One World Trade Center already is New York's tallest building.
And when the last pieces of its spire eventually rise to the roof, the 104-floor skyscraper that replaces the fallen twin towers will be just feet from becoming the highest in the Western Hemisphere.
Officials had hoped that would happen Monday, but the weather did not cooperate and it was postponed due to high winds. The event will be rescheduled when conditions permit.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says the spire pieces and a steel beacon will be lifted at a later date from the rooftop to cap the building at 1,776 feet.
Installation of the 800-ton, 408-foot spire began in December, after 18 pieces were shipped from Canada and New Jersey.
The spire will serve as a world-class broadcast antenna.
With the beacon at its peak to ward off aircraft, the spire will provide public transmission services for television and radio broadcast channels that were destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001, along with the trade center towers.
Overlooking the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, the high-rise is scheduled to open for business in 2014.
The tower is at the northwest corner of the site, which is well on its way to reconstruction with the 72-story 4 World Trade Center and other buildings.
Monday's postponed celebration of the reconstructed trade center was to come days after a grisly reminder of the terror attack that took nearly 3,000 lives: the discovery of a rusted piece of airplane landing gear wedged between a nearby mosque and an apartment building -- believed to be from one of the hijacked planes that ravaged lower Manhattan.
As officials prepared to erect the spire, the office of the city's chief medical examiner was working in the hidden alley where debris may still contain human remains.
The new tower's crowning spire is a joint venture between the ADF Group Inc. engineering firm in Terrebonne, Quebec, and New York-based DCM Erectors Inc., a steel contractor.
The tallest building in the Western Hemisphere is the Willis Tower in Chicago. The world's tallest building, topping 2,700 feet, is in Dubai.

Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991) was one of the first Latin American painters to receive international recognition. He was influenced by modern art, by pre-Colombian imagery, and by his Zapotec heritage to create a highly individualistic body of work that includes prints, paintings, and sculptures. Unlike many of his contemporaries, such as Diego Rivera—who created murals with themes of social reform—Tamayo viewed subject matter as subordinate to color and form. Early in his career, he lived in New York City where he was influenced by the work of modern artists like Pablo Picasso and Stuart Davis. Tamayo's work is distinguished by its mythical quality, astute use of color, abstracted figures, Surrealist imagery, and bold compositions.
Tamayo completed his prints utilizing numerous techniques, including lithography, etching, aquatint, and the Mixografia process—which he helped develop. Mixografia involves pressing a sheet of damp paper pulp onto an inked metal plate which has raised areas of design. As the inked plate and the pulp are compressed together, the water is squeezed out and the pulp is molded to the surface. The prints have sculptural qualities that enhance the rich color embedded into the paper.
This grouping of seven prints is an outstanding representation of Tamayo's large graphic works. It was gifted to the Figge as a bequest from Dennis L. and Patricia A. Miller, who were well-known supporters of Quad City Arts, Ballet Quad Cities, and many other organizations.
On view July 7-December 30, 2018

Choosing to install nursery playground synthetic grass surfacing in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen SA18 1 will allow toddlers and infants to play outside all year round. Fake lawn prevents nursery play-areas from becoming muddy, waterlogged and unusable in the winter months.
We offer a range of different specifications for safe synthetic nursery playground surfaces which provide a fun and enjoyable outdoor environment for kids. These recreational surfaces can give additional safety qualities to the area through shockpads which absorb impact and prevent injuries when kids are playing on equipment.
We can offer more details on manmade turf for nursery play-areas if required. Simply fill in our enquiry form and we will offer more details regarding the artificial astroturf that we install.
The problem that many nearby nurseries and schools have in winter is that natural turf play-areas can become unsafe as they get muddy and slippery in wet weather. This can lead to the facilities being unusable and preventing kids from enjoying outdoor activities and sports. With specially designed playgroup synthetic playground grass, children can play outside all year round as the artificial carpet will not become muddy. For local nurseries which are looking for a natural appearance for their play-area, but don't want to worry about heavy maintenance and damage, fake grass lawns are a popular choice. The prices will vary for each project depending upon the area size, chosen surface type and location of the nursery itself. Manmade needlepunch turf is often used for recreational athletics facility surfacing in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen SA18 1 http://artificialgrass-syntheticturf.co.uk/other/needlepunch-athletics-track-surfacing/neath-port-talbot/gwaun-cae-gurwen/ as these are often installed at schools, nurseries and public leisure centres.
We are able to offer more information on all weather surfaces for schools if necessary. We will provide you with details on the costs, prices and specifications available and offer our recommendations for pre-school play areas. Make sure you fill in our contact form if you'd like more information regarding the costs to install artificial turf play surfaces, as well as all of the designs we offer.
Many individuals near me will ask about the prices of installing a nursery playground surfacing in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen SA18 1 . There is no set price for the flooring that we install, as every facility is different and each nursery has their own particular requirements. It is best to have a budget in mind before you start the project as this allows us to stay closest to your set price whilst still giving you exactly what you are looking for. The main way in which the play area flooring can differ in price is by the area size of the facility. Obviously if you surface area is larger, the price will be higher than a small organisations surrounding areas. If you are interested in finding out the exact price of the flooring we can offer you, get in touch with us today. Our experts will be able to provide you with a quote and talk you through the details.
As well as the natural looking artificial play-area turf we install, many schools and nurseries choose to have Multisport synthetic surfaces for their outdoor facilities. This is a durable, fibre bonded system which is used for recreational surfaces and sports courts. The needlepunch specification is ideal for use with an assortment of different activities and is commonly chosen for multi use games areas. Nurseries typically opt for this artificial play-area astroturf system because it comes in a number of bright colours and can be installed with a striped design for small sprint tracks and activity flooring. Different specifications of astroturf surfacing can be installed and used as fun putting greens in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen at domestic gardens or public facilities to practise a range of skills. Look here http://artificialgrass-syntheticturf.co.uk/garden-grass/backyard-putting-greens/neath-port-talbot/gwaun-cae-gurwen/ to find out more about the putting greens.
Each of the kindergarten playground manmade grass specifications we design and install adds a functional and attractive surface to existing or new play-areas. With a range of designs to choose from, we may help to create a surface which suits your budget and keeps costs to a minimum. If you would like to discuss the pre-school playground synthetic lawn costs and installation please fill in the enquiry form on this page. We have worked with many different nurseries and educational organisations and our staff would be happy to offer some professional advice to help with your project.
Artificial turf is safe for toddlers and young children. For nurseries with play equipment we install a shockpad beneath the synthetic turf carpet to keep children safe when playing on the equipment. We install shockpads in different depths to meet the CFH (critical fall heights) required. This will make sure that the children will not hurt themselves when playing on the apparatus should they fall off. The artificial grass is perfect for a range of sports including cricket http://artificialgrass-syntheticturf.co.uk/other/cricket-wicket-surface-facility/neath-port-talbot/gwaun-cae-gurwen/ which can help toddlers grow and develop.
If you are interested in more information regarding the installation of nursery manmade grass, please complete the enquiry form. Once we receive your enquiry we will get back to you with more details on Nursery Playground Synthetic Grass Surfacing in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen SA18 1 including costs.

"Politics is the art of choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable," economist John Kenneth Galbraith once said. In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, dictators have been toppled and new leaders have begun to emerge. Islamists, once marginalized, have been voted into power. Which leadership scenario is better?
The argument for dictators is that a number have been reliable allies for the United States. But under their rule, dictators use repressive means to squash opposition and stay in power.
Elections may give Islamists more legitimacy. But the democracy that they lead may not be liberal — it could lack freedom of speech or religion.
A panel of experts debated the pros and cons of each in the latest edition of Intelligence Squared U.S. They faced off two against two in an Oxford-style debate on the motion, "Better Elected Islamists Than Dictators."
Before the debate began, 38 percent of the audience was for the motion, 31 against. Ultimately, the audience was closely divided, with 44 percent for the motion and 47 percent against — making those arguing against the motion the winners.
Those debating were:
Reuel Marc Gerecht is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a nonpartisan institution focusing on national security and foreign policy. He was a former Middle East specialist at the CIA's Directorate of Operations. His book The Wave: Man, God, and the Ballot Box in the Middle East, was published by the Hoover Institution in 2011. Gerecht was a former director of the Project for the New American Century's Middle East Initiative and a former resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
Brian Katulis is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, where his work focuses on U.S. national security policy in the Middle East and South Asia. Katulis has served as a consultant to numerous U.S. government agencies, private corporations and nongovernmental organizations on projects in more than two dozen countries, including Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt and Colombia. From 1995 to 1998, he lived and worked in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and Egypt for the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs. He is co-author of The Prosperity Agenda, a book on U.S. national security. Katulis speaks Arabic.
Daniel Pipes is president of the Middle East Forum, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1994 whose slogan is "Promoting American Interests." He was previously the director of the Foreign Policy Research Institute and editor of its journal, Orbis. Pipes' most recent book is Miniatures: Views of Islamic and Middle Eastern Politics (2003). Pipes served as an adviser to Rudolph Giuliani's 2008 presidential campaign.
M. Zuhdi Jasser, M.D., is the founder and president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy. A devout Muslim, Jasser founded AIFD in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States as an effort to provide an American Muslim voice advocating for the preservation of the founding principles of the U.S. Constitution, liberty and freedom, through the separation of mosque and state. Jasser earned his medical degree on a U.S. Navy scholarship at the Medical College of Wisconsin in 1992. He served 11 years as a medical officer in the U. S. Navy.

Chemical Sprayers
Pump Sprayers are the most common, and generally the most effective piece of pest control equipment for applying chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides. High quality sprayer brands come with adjustable nozzles and wands to give the operator great control over the application of chemicals. Using a quality sprayer makes chemical application easier, safer, and effective. Sprayers also save you money by reducing over-spray and overall chemical use, especially when the sprayer utilizes a high quality shut-off handle.
Caution: Some people are tempted to mix insecticide concentrates in a cheap spray bottle, but that can be both dangerous and ineffective, especially when treating larger areas. Your goals during pest control treatment should be to keep the spray away from your body, and hitting only the target area with spray. This is safer for you and the environment.
Brands: We prefer B&G sprayers because they are professionally tested, lightweight, and have the highest customer satisfaction. Chapin sprayers are also a good alternative to B&G.
How to use adjustable nozzles when spraying chemicals
Adjustable nozzles let you change the pesticide spray pattern to accommodate the treatment area and the type of chemical in use. In some cases, a direct stream of chemical is most effective if the target is small. For example, a direct stream works well if you are targeting a specific weed surrounded by desirable plants. You want the herbicide to only come into contact with the undesirable plant to avoid damaging the desirable plants. A broad spray pattern on the other hand is effective for applying insecticide to the exterior walls of a home where you typically want to cover a large area quickly. Proper spray control is the most environmentally safe way to treat against pests
How sprayer wands make pest control safer
Sprayer wands are an important piece of equipment because they keep the chemical farther away from your body while spraying and allow you to reach areas beyond your arm's length. A home's foundation or weeds surrounding the outer perimeter of a flower bed are examples of a places that a sprayer wand can help you reach.
Safety Tip: When possible, avoid spraying chemicals overhead. While sprayer wands allow you to reach higher areas, often times the chemical will fall back on you in the process. Always wear safety goggles, a respirator, gloves, and long sleeve clothing when spraying in areas where chemical exposure is possible. Avoid skin and eye contact with all types of herbicides and insecticides.

Hugin Panorama Editor window
The Panorama Editor window is also "tab" based. Below you see a partial example screen of the Panorama Editor window showing the tabs with the button bar above them.
The Photos tab is used to:
- Manage the images in a Hugin project
- Edit the positions of the images in the final panorama
- Edit the lens settings
- Edit photometrics settings
- Edit/Create stacks
Often photos contain parts which should not be used in the final panorama (e.g. moving objects); alternatively you may need to specifically include a distinctive feature (e.g. persons) in the final panorama.
The Masks tab allows you to mask these areas for inclusion or exclusion from the stitched panorama.
Control Points
Hugin stitches panoramas by matching identical features in different overlapping photos. These features are defined by pairs of control points. The Control Points tab shows two photos at a time and allows you to manually create and edit any pair of control points.
In addition to the Control Points tab, the Control Points table is used to manage pairs of control points.
Control points can be created automatically in the Align section of the Assistant tab or with the Feature Matching section of the Photos tab.
If you look at the partial screen on showing the Tabs you do not see the Hugin Optimiser tab. This is because the Optimiser tab is only displayed when using the Custom parameters for Geometric Optimisation on the Photos tab.
If you look at the partial screen on showing the Tabs you do not see the Hugin Exposure tab. This is because the Exposure tab is only displayed when using the Custom parameters for Photometric Optimisation on the Photos tab.
The end result of a Hugin project is an image file containing a panorama. The final Stitcher tab is where size and quality are set and where this output file is created.
- New: Discard the current project and start a new empty project.
- Open an existing Hugin, PTGUI, PTAssembler, autopano or autopano-sift project file.
- Save the current project as a Hugin pto file.
- Save as a pto file with a different name.
- Write PTStitcher script saves a simplified project file suitable for batch stitching with PTStitcher, nona or PTmender. Note that nona can stitch a Hugin project file directly, so this step is unnecessary when using nona.
- Most recently used projects shows a list of recent Hugin projects.
- Run Batch Processor launches the Hugin Batch Processor GUI queue manager; note that the queue won't be processed unless this queue manager is running.
- Merge project can be used to merge another project with the current project. New photos will be added to the list of images; for duplicate photos, only the control points are merged.
- Apply Template assigns parameters from an existing pto project to the current set of photos. Only position and lens parameters are transferred; control points are ignored.
- Preferences opens the Hugin Preferences window.
- Quit Hugin.
- Undo undoes the most recent change to the current project.
- Redo redoes an undo.
- Add Image to the current project.
- Import Raw Image... converts raw image(s) to TIFF format and adds them to current project. (see raw import for more details)
- Run Assistant will run the automised panorama creator by finding control points, aligning and optimising.
- Send to assistant queue will run the automised panorama creator via the batch processor in case you want to create multiple panoramas after each other.
- Optimize re-optimises the current project. This has exactly the same effect as clicking Optimize Now! in the Optimiser tab.
- Fine-tune all Points does the same as Fine-tune in the Hugin Control Points tab, except that all control points in the project are adjusted. Fine tune settings are set in the Hugin Preferences.
- Remove control points in masks removes all control points in regions which are masked on the Hugin Mask tab.
- Run Python script will run one of the installed or self-created python scripts. This option is only available when Python support has been compiled into your Hugin build.
- Full Screen shows this Hugin Main window using as much screen space as possible without any window decorations. Note that the Hugin Fast Preview window can also be set as full screen.
- Control point table shows the Hugin Control Points table.
- Preview window shows the Hugin Preview window.
- Fast Preview window shows the Hugin Fast Preview window which is the Simple User interface screen.
- Photos shows the Hugin Photos tab.
- Masks shows the Hugin Mask tab.
- Control Points shows the Hugin Control Points tab.
- Optimizer shows the Hugin Optimiser tab.
- Exposure shows the Hugin Exposure tab.
- Stitcher shows the Hugin Stitcher tab.
The Action menu list all install Python plugins for Hugin. It is therefore only available if Hugin is compiled with Python support.
- Simple: This is the user interface this introduction is written for. It consists of all basic functionality to create a panorama and will suffice in 90% of all cases.
- Advanced: This user interface starts Hugin in the Panorama Editor screen. The simple interface is available in the background.
- Expert: This user interface also starts Hugin in the Panorama Editor screen and unleashes all the power and options of Hugin.
- Help opens the Hugin manual.
- Tip of the day
- Keyboard Shortcuts
- FAQ: Hugin Frequently asked questions
- About shows the Hugin About window.
- Donate opens the Hugin donation page; there is no obligation to donate. Any donations are used for travel and promotion costs related to Hugin development.
Above the row of tabs are a series of buttons for common commands:
New project
Discards the current project and starts a new empty project.
Open project
Opens an existing Hugin, PTGUI, PTAssembler, autopano or autopano-sift project file.
Save project
Saves the current project as a Hugin .pto file.

text: Dysplasia, also known as epiphysealis hemimelica, is a disorder that affects the bone joints. It is characterized by overgrowth of the cartilage on the end of one or more of the long bones (carpal or tarsal bones) in the hand or foot. Usually only one limb is involved. Dysplasia may cause limbs that are unequal in length. Less often, the cartilage on other bones, such as those in the ankle, knee, or hip joint, can be impacted.

Pigeonly understand how difficult it is for families to stay away from their inmate and it is important to familiarize yourself with the basic of inmate visitation before planning a visit as each facility has specific rules that you must follow. All visitors must be pre-approved; your inmate must put you on the pre-approved visitation list in order for you to visit them which is later reviewed by the correctional facility. When considering approval, correctional facilities look at many factors as all the formalities need to be done. Many facilities limit the number of visitors therefore inmate have to narrow down the list of potential visitors. All correctional facilities have their own set of rules which you need to follow. You will be expected to follow the prison rules, no matter how arbitrary they may seem, when you visit.
The inmate you plan on visiting should be able to advise you the visiting time schedule for that prison, however it is always a good idea to call the prison before to ensure visitation is permitted and whether potential visitors are approved or not. All the prisoners are searched before and after any visits due to the security reasons. The families visiting their inmates need to respect the dress code of the particular prison otherwise they may be refused visitation. All visitors are expected to present a valid, government issued photo ID. Pigeonly have also introduced video visitation to connect families and inmate when it becomes difficult for them to visit, you need to first schedule a visit and have it approved by your inmate's facility, by signing up with Pigeonly video visitation your inmate will be just a click away.
Each facility requires that their rules be followed according to local ordinances. Typically, for any given institution you want to make sure to wear appropriate attire. Make sure your outfits are not too tight. Different states may have different rules on attire. For information on what to wear in Alabama, be sure to check out their appropriate state laws for Alabama's Department of Corrections at your State's official website.

Car-to-car talk: Hey, look out for that collision!
WASHINGTON (AP) — A car might see a deadly crash coming even if its driver doesn't, the U.S. government says, indicating it will require automakers to equip new vehicles with technology that lets cars warn each other if they're plunging toward peril.
The action, still some years off, has "game-changing potential" to cut collisions, deaths and injuries, federal transportation officials said at a news conference Monday.
A radio signal would continually transmit a vehicle's position, heading, speed and other information. Cars and light trucks would receive the same information back from other cars, and a vehicle's computer would alert its driver to an impending collision. Alerts could be a flashing message, an audible warning, or a driver's seat that rumbles. Some systems might even automatically brake to avoid an accident if manufacturers choose to include that option.
Your car would "see" when another car or truck equipped with the same technology was about to run a red light, even if that vehicle was hidden around a corner. Your car would also know when a car several vehicles ahead in a line of traffic had made a sudden stop and alert you even before you saw brake lights The technology works up to about 300 yards.
If communities choose to invest in the technology, roadways and traffic lights could start talking to cars, too, sending warnings of traffic congestion or road hazards ahead in time for drivers to take a detour.
The technology is separate from automated safety features using sensors and radar that are already being built into some high-end vehicles today and which are seen as the basis for future self-driving cars. But government and industry officials see the two technologies as compatible. If continuous conversations between cars make driving safer, then self-driving cars will become safer as well.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has been working with automakers on the technology for the past decade, estimates vehicle-to-vehicle communications could prevent up to 80 percent of accidents that don't involve drunken drivers or mechanical failure.
Crashes involving a driver with a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher accounted for nearly a third of the 33,500 traffic fatalities in the U.S. in 2012, according to the safety agency.
The technology represents the start of a new era in automotive safety in which the focus is "to prevent crashes in the first place," as compared with previous efforts to ensure accidents are survivable, said David Friedman, the head of the agency.
No orders to automakers are imminent, officials said.
After an agency report, the public and carmakers will have 90 days to comment, then regulators will begin drafting a proposal, and that process could take months to years. But Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said it is his intention to issue the proposal before President Barack Obama leaves office.
"It will change driving as we know it over time," said Scott Belcher, president and chief executive of the Intelligent Transportation Society of America. "Automobile makers will rethink how they design and construct cars because they will no longer be constructing cars to survive a crash, but building them to avoid a crash."
Government officials declined to give an estimate for how much the technology would increase the price of a new car, but the transportation society estimates it would cost about $100 to $200 per vehicle.
Automakers are enthusiastic about vehicle-to-vehicle technology but feel there are important technical, security and privacy questions that need to be worked out first, said Gloria Bergquist, vice president of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.
The technology "may well play a larger role in future road safety, but many pieces of a large puzzle still need to fit together," she said.
The technology the government is contemplating contains several layers of security and privacy protection to ensure the information exchanged between vehicles doesn't identify them but merely contains basic safety data, officials said.
The safety benefits can't be achieved until there is a critical mass of cars and trucks on the road using the technology. It takes many years to turn over the nation's entire vehicle fleet, but the technology could start preventing accidents before that.
Safety benefits can be seen with as few at 7 percent to 10 percent of vehicles in a given area similarly equipped, said Paul Feenstra, a spokesman for the transportation society, an umbrella organization for the research and development of new transportation technologies.
There may be another way to speed things up, according to a presentation last year by the communications technology company Qualcomm. About 45 percent of Americans use smartphones, and that share is growing. If smartphones, which already have GPS, came equipped with a radio chip they could be used to retrofit vehicles already on the road so they could talk to each other. That would help make it possible to achieve a 50 percent market penetration in less than five years, Qualcomm estimated.
Using cellphones could also extend the safety benefits of connected-car technology to pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists, Belcher said. A driver could be alerted to a possible collision with a pedestrian carrying a smartphone sending out information, even if it was too dark to see the person. More than 4,700 pedestrians were killed by vehicles and 76,000 injured in 2012.
But there are significant technical and standardization hurdles to using cellphones to support connected-car technology. Cellphone battery life, for example, a need for antennas, questions about radio frequencies and concern that cellphone GPS functions might not be as precise as those in a vehicle manufactured with special technology.

Vets Return With Brain Injuries Oft Seen In Football
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is best-known for affecting football players; repeated bangs to the head can hurt the parts of the brain that direct impulse, memory and emotion. Now, scientists are finding evidence of CTE in the brains of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. Dr. Bob Stern from Boston University School of Medicine talks to weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz.
And if you're just tuning in, this is WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Guy Raz.
Here's a terrible statistic: Once a veteran is home from Iraq or Afghanistan, he or she is more likely to die by suicide than from injuries sustained in the combat theater. There is new research that suggests those injuries may actually be contributing to the suicides.
Now, scientists have known for years that athletes like boxers and pro football players are prone to developing a degenerative brain disease called chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE. It's triggered by repeated blows to the head, and it can cause memory loss and mood changes and impulsive behavior. The problem, though, is that CTE cannot be diagnosed in a living person. The signs are often found in the brain during an autopsy. And now, CTE has begun to appear in the brains of veterans.
Researchers are wondering whether CTE could be related to traumatic brain injury, another mysterious injury that many veterans have sustained. Robert Stern is a professor of neurology at the Boston University School of Medicine, and he's been looking into that very question.
ROBERT STERN: Traumatic brain injury is the big event, whereas CTE is a disease. It's not an injury. It gets started in motion earlier from repetitive exposure to mild brain injuries.
RAZ: It's triggered by injuries.
STERN: Trigged by it, that's right. But it's not an injury in and of itself.
RAZ: So there's no way to tell if somebody is affected by CTE through a brain scan. You can't determine that just by doing an MRI.
STERN: Well, we're trying to right now. I was very fortunate in getting a grant from the National Institutes of Health recently to do just that. And to me, that's really the big next step. We really have a good understanding of the neuropathology of this disease, what it looks like after people die. But now, we really need to move this field forward by being able to diagnose people while they're alive so we can understand how common it is, so we can understand what the risk factors are, so we can understand how to treat it and prevent it.
RAZ: What is the thinking about the possible connection between CTE and suicide? I mean, we know that suicide rates among returning Iraq and Afghan vets, those rates are higher compared to Vietnam vets. Is there any developing theory about the relationship between CTE and suicide?
Well, we have a pretty good sense in athletes, not vets, that suicide is a common problem within a group of athletes who develop CTE. Now, we need to think about it in returning veterans, where there is so much suicide, and they also have such a huge exposure to brain trauma.
STERN: There's this fuzzy line between the symptoms of traumatic brain injury, posttraumatic stress disorder and CTE, where they all can have difficulties with thinking and memory, with mood and with behavior change. And we just don't know yet how much of the suicide problem is caused by just natural grief responses or psychological effects of being in such brutal conditions or how much is due to PTSD or the long-term effects of an individual brain injury or perhaps to CTE. My hunch is that some of the suicides that have already occurred are due, at least in part, to the disease CTE.
RAZ: That's Robert Stern. He is a professor of neurology and the co-director of the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at the Boston University School of Medicine. Professor Stern, thank you so much.
Thank you very much, Guy.

This weekend is the Canadian Thanksgiving and that means that it is time to make something special for breakfast and I knew just what I wanted to make. I have been wanting to try the cinnamon swirl pancakes from Recipe Girl ever since I saw them and Thanksgiving seemed like the perfect time to try the pumpkin pie version! I mean you really cannot go wrong combining two amazing things like pancakes and cinnamon rolls and throw in a third, pumpkin pie, and you have something that is sure to have every one coming back for seconds or even thirds! (The recipe easily doubles or triples!)
I know that Thanksgiving weekend, let alone Thanksgiving day, can be quite busy but these pumpkin pie cinnamon roll pancakes are as easy to make as making normal pancakes, and I used my favourite pumpkin pie pancake recipe, and swirling a mixture of cinnamon, butter and sugar onto the top of the pancake after pouring the batter into the pan. After that, once the bubbles arrive, you simply flip the pancake as normal and cook the swirl side. The swirl mixture on the pancakes surface causes the batter to cook around the swirl leaving a nice hole filled with cinnamon-y goodness! In addition to the swirl, some of the sugar in the swirl mixture actually caramelizes on the surface of the pancakes making them even better. The pumpkin pie pancakes by themselves are so delicious, light, moist and fluffy that they are sure to put you into pancake heaven but then add the cinnamon swirl and you take things way over the edge! These have to be my new all time favourite pancakes!
Tip: You want the swirl mixture of cinnamon, butter and sugar to be thicker, more paste like, rather than liquid and flowing for the best results.
Although I could easily finish off a batch of these pancakes by themselves, I could not help but think about a topping! Normally pancakes are served with syrup but cinnamon buns are topped with frosting and although I had some tasty ideas for both syrups and frostings I decided to go with a frosting. A basic frosting would have been just fine but since caramel goes so well with pumpkin I could not resist using some caramel sauce as the sweeter for the cream cheese based frosting and it was absolutely divine!
Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting
Pumpkin pancakes with a swirl of cinnamon cooked right into them served topped wit a caramel cream cheese 'frosting'. Mornings could not get any better than this!
- 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce, room temperature
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, room temperature
- Mix the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, place them in the corner of a small plastic bag and set aside.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger in a large bowl.
- Mix the egg, milk, pumpkin puree, butter and brown sugar in another bowl.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Heat a pan and melt a touch of butter in it.
- Pour 1/3 cup of the mixture into the pan.
- Cut a small hole in the corner of the plastic bag and squeeze out a swirl of the cinnamon mixture in a swirl around the top of the pancake batter.
- Heat until the surface starts to bubble and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, flip the pancake and cook the other side until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
- Mix the caramel sauce and cream cheese, give them a 15-25 seconds in the microwave and drizzle over the pancakes.

What is a Mandala?
The word "mandala" is from the classical Indian language of Sanskrit. Loosely translated to mean "circle," a mandala is far more than a simple shape. It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a model for the organizational structure of life itself--a cosmic diagram that reminds us of our relation to the infinite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds.
