Juicy, moist, smoky and charred dhaba style Tandoori chicken roasted in the oven. You won't need take-out anymore. Homemade tandoori masala with the aromatic Indian spices is mixed with sour cream for the marinate. Chicken is marinated for 4 hours and oven roasted until cooked and charred under the broiler with the basting liquid.
Don't be overwhelmed by the huge list of ingredients required for the preparation. These are everyday ingredients that you might already have in your kitchen.

13. Slice and Serve hot with tangy green mint chutney, sliced onions and lemon wedges

Today marks the beginning of the second month into my new lifestyle. It's been grand so far, and I expect that it will only get better as time goes on. I feel myself getting stronger and more capable every day, which is great.
This morning I weighed in a pound heavier than yesterday, but still just under 320, so yay! I wasn't really too surprised since it is now that TOM, and I already see a monthly pattern on my Physics Diet graph. If this cycle is like the last, it looks like I might be plateauing for a week and half or so... but, we'll see. I anticipate a lot of physical activity while I am visiting my dad in New Hampshire later this week and know that I will be eating quite healthfully. I'm even going to bring my scale with me so that I can be sure I am staying on track! Dedicated, I am.
Not too much else to say today. It's a true Monday by all means and I am feeling sluggish and antsy all at once. I did start out the day well with an almost two mile walk, at a faster pace than my run-walks were until last week! I really booked, but also tried to really enjoy myself and just get my blood pumping. I'm finding that these days, a day without any sort of physical activity—whether it be walking or running, going to the gym, or working in the yard—just doesn't feel right. That's an awesome thing! I worked really hard last month to establish that good habit, and it seems to have worked!
I also know for a fact that my (nearly) daily blogging has helped tremendously, keeping me accountable and very in touch with what has been going on with my body. C'mon, bloggers! Write more often!

Record Store Day Show! Today's band is Zammuto, the new four-piece from Nick Zammuto.
Nick Zammuto has been making music since 1999. Since 2001 he has been composing music with the band "the Books". This year, he started working on a new project called "Zammuto" and released a self titled album earlier this month on Temporary Residence Limited. He lives in a little mountain town called Readsboro, VT with his wife and his three sons, which is where he creates all of his music in his home studio. He is joined with the help of Sean Dixon on drums, Gene Back (multi-intrumentalist), and Mikey Zammuto on bass to create a style best described as both electronic and experimental.
Be sure to check out Zammuto's new self-titled - it's awesome and has been getting it's share of hype lately (8.0 on pf4k!!). If you can't make OV Record Store Day, be sure to check out Zammuto at the following Southern California dates -

About half way through the episode, I thought I was going to be very disappointed, but I ended up loving the ending.
Ray died because of his love for his son and Frank died because of his pride, but they both got their women to safety.
Everything was going to plan and each and everyone of them was going to make it out, but I knew that was never going to happen.
As soon as Ray stopped to say goodbye to his son, I knew that was going to be the end of him. They were waiting for him to do just that. It took him a few minutes to decide what to do. I think Ray should have continued to fight, he was buying time for his last recording to be sent and then he went out shooting, when he should have just continued. He may have gotten out. After all of that his message never sent. And we find out that he really was the father. If only his son could know the man he really was. He made a lot of mistakes, but in the end, the only thing that mattered, was his son.
I had a feeling from the beginning that Frank wasn't going to make it. He was sticking around for way too long and had way too many enemies to get out with his life. I quite liked his death scene though. He was stubborn to the end. How he thought he was going to walk back to town with a gut wound I will never know. But he sure tried. On the way he had hallucinations of his life and Jordan was there to set him free.
I loved the ending because Ani and Jordan made it out and they were together. Ani had a son, probably from her night with Ray, and she gave a reporter the story of a lifetime. She hopefully got the justice Ray and Frank were seeking.
While I liked how the ending concluded, there was a lot about this episode that I didn't like.
I didn't like how Ray intercepted Leon. I get that he wanted a confession, but there was no way that was going to end well. He should have worn the wire, he was bluffing enough as it was. To have that poor boy sit and listen to all of that was stupid. He was bound to lash out.
I was also pretty bored when Frank and Ray took out the Russian mobsters. What was so great about killing a lot of men and getting tons of money.
I don't think the finale had to be 90 minutes. They could have sped it up a bit and done the regular hour. It was just so dragged out.
There were things that I liked about this season and there were things that I really didn't.
In the end I liked Ray's character, but I got so tired of having to go back to hear what he said or just put captions on. He mumbled a lot.
I really didn't like not knowing what time period we were in. I was so confused all the time.
I liked how Ani, Paul, Frank and Ray really didn't win. There was no way to clean up the city. They tried and then they had to get out or die. Ani did try one last time to clear their names and get the truth out there, but we have to decide whether we believe that worked or not.
This was definitely a rocky season to say the least. There were good parts and bad parts. I like how the season ended, but I don't see my self re-watching it.

The violent suppression of a demonstration in the West Bank led to death by tear gas canister -- again. In the village of Nabi Saleh near Ramallah, Mustafa Tamimi was hit at point blank range in the face by an Israeli soldier shooting at him from within a tank. Canisters were raining down onto a group of perhaps fifty unarmed civilians marching with Palestinian flags and banners in orderly fashion before being attacked. It was on Friday, the 9th day of December, 2011 that Mustafa was hit, and he died at a nearby hospital.
The high points of this amazing video of the events: a terrible glimpse of his shattered face; the UN van that was begged but refused to help; the sheer amount of tear gas that is fired at the crowd prior to the fatal shot; the crowds that materialize post injury, and the urgency of their chanting, turning grief to determination. Toward the end there is a long moment where protesters make a metal gate cry out against injustice, in a faceoff with an IDF sound machine that seems by comparison a weak mechanism wielded by cowardly bureaucrats.
Especially watch the refusal of fear by a young shero in a pink hoody who is pulled back protectively from the more exposed side of the gate, a girl who goes right on banging, and climbs right up on top of the gate to visually challenge the bullies hiding in tanks.
This young person, and the 20 year old Gazan who rescued his baby cousin from the rubble of her family home, will lodge in my memory of the news that reached me on the International Human Rights Day, 2011.
|source: Mondoweiss Ruqaya Izzidien
Migdad Elzalaan responded to air strikes in northern Gaza City yesterday by running to his uncle's house.
According to the account in Mondoweiss:
The attack killed Elzalaan's uncle and injured 13 of his family members. Israeli authorities claim to have targeted a nearby military base, but the only reported casualties were civilian...Migdad explained, "[My uncle] told me, 'Look after our family, look after the children. Look after them,' and then he died, right in my arms."
You cannot evict an idea whose time has come, such as: Israel is no longer good for Jews.
Such as: Occupy Tear Gas Suppliers. Four days before Mustafa was hit, Egyptians protesting the use of the faux non-lethal weapon in Cairo lay down in front of a plant of the sinisterly bland Combined Systems, Inc. in Jamestown, PA
Such as: When the 1% Attack, the 99% Multiply

Cool hair! x
WOW! Tolle Frisur tolle Augen und tolle Frau! ;)
I wish I could pull off a hair like that! xx
i dont like it actually
she's so cinematographic.
but Kuznetsky is not snowflake in Russian. no matter.Her deep glance,thats what
i like.
She is gorgeous - for all the reasons you stated. Perfect combination of tough/soft, rough/smooth, masculine/feminine and punk/elegant. Either look without the other would be a yawn.
I love it
sorry but i don´t like her style at all...
come to munich again, we can do better than that in germany :)
Now that is daring...I could never be that brave. My son however did this look by accident oneday when he forgot to put the attachment on while shaving his head!
She pulls it off great though.
I don't like at all! Sorry.
But the young lady is beautiful.
Kuznetsky, I believe, is the name if the shop - not her.
And there are women like that in the States.
She is entrancing.
Something tells me if she were walking the mid-west streets of America she'd be accused of being a small-town meth addict. Does the fact that she's Russian add to her appeal and make her hair fashionably spot on? I don't know...
WOW! Well played INDEED! What a fab combination, she's brave.
Mustart x
I actually think a really bold eyebrow would look fabulous with this. I love her hair.
now that's different. definitely shows character.
perhaps her name's Snejana?
Not exactly a look I'm crazy about, but I really admire that you feature looks on your blog that are not necessarily "pretty." You have a very open-mind, and it's wonderful :-).
rock and exotic!!
another woman by rose
I love the risks women take with their hair these days. Whether it be shaving just part of their heads or going white/gray.
By the way, Snejana (I believe it's her name; I'm from Russia) doesn't mean Snowflake :) It means cold, white as snow :)
Snowflake in Russian and Bulgarian is SNEZHINA, it is particularly brave to pull up such look in Moscow where the uber rich are living like Western Europe was in the late 80s and 90s and the acceptance level of the 'different' people is rather low...Well done Snezhina and to you Sart for noticing a thing in a culture totally different from yours. All the best!
What struck me most about this pic is that it's interesting and amazing how it has become difficult to figure out what race people are. Used to be fewer people with mixed race backgrounds but now they're everywhere (I think). Kudos to the human race.
Yes, i believe her name is Snejana. I am not sure I like her look but definitely she is brave and a character girl with lots of self confidence.
I tried to like it. I can't. It is not cool and has no style.
Beautiful photo. Beautiful girl.
She is very striking. I think she would be with or without the shaved bit on her head.
Isn't it interesting how much of a statement shaving your hair is for a woman. Fascinating.
Wow that hair is so brave! Amazing
the victorians believed big foreheads were sexy and showed that a woman was smart.
they plucked their eyebrows ultra thin, and shaved part of their forehead similarly, to emphasize their foreheads.
also, the men wore heels, not the women.
I think she is very dramatic, very Russian looking. I like the sparkly top.
i love it. if i could rock a look like that, i totally would. i'm not gutsy enough. not self assured [yet] enough.
Definitely two sides to her personality!
"Well played young lady."
Awe. Such a nice compliment!
Such attention to detail. There
is something cool about noticing
eyebrows, the people who notice
eyebrows. Snowflake? I think the
only other suitable name for her
would be Wolf.
..another great post.
Scott, you are fantastic. ~TY
This is my favorite photo in a long time. Stricking, different, captivating and beautiful. She stands out.
Her hair is amazing.
love it, very unique!!
Agreed! Very well played. I think her style is fabulous. She is stunning and her hair is fucken awesome. I have never seen a do like this, nor have I ever considered such a thing but the contrast is amazing. I like it even more than the one shaved side thing!
I love it, and admire Scott's attention to detail. Only I find that the bangs on the right side of her head are a distraction...I'd like to see it with just the long hair.
woah, that's...different
i love how you noticed such details on her!! her hair is really unique.
stoll over at my blog too!
"punk sensibility" heh heh
Very cool.
And she has those wide set Russian eyes too, lovely.
her hair is distrubing...in a good way?
It's an interesting idea but I don't think it works for her because her face looks rather washed out. I'd use some makeup if I were her and/or brighten up her hair color.
I like a "punk twist" on some girls, but I've noticed that it works only if a girl is naturally gorgeous or if she's weird, for lack of a better word (i.e. not conventionally beautiful but has interesting, eye-catching looks). This girl, I think, is just bland even with this haircut.
great look , more about imagination than money!
Just the right amount of edge! LOVE it.
i've never seen hair done like this before, but i really love it. i agree, well played.
Fantastic. Her picture makes me wonder what she sounds like. I imagine a russian Deitrich.
The hair and thinness make her look ill I had no idea the shaved look was intentional until you mentioned it!
Overall interesting style I guess though.
Scott, that's just a brilliant observation about the haircut and the eyebrows and their dependence on each other for the look to be just right. I completely agree and I don't think I would have noticed had you not said anything! But I definitely see it now and it just makes the photo all the more beautiful
...not my fave, Sart. Sorry but she doesn't look so kind...
I like the girls hair, but I would never have ventured on this!
she is beautiful
Well Played!
delicate deconstruction
to porcelain punk perfection
I had to have stitches on the top of my head once and this "look" reminds me of sickness or barfights- She is pretty and intense, but shaved patch of scalp says sutures to me so loudly. Thanks for a controversial and thought provoking photo.
I like it that you're into details.
That is a committed style indeed.
I'm having a fine art giveaway at the end of the month and would love you to drop by my blog to enter, if you'd like :)
Ehhh... I don't know how to feel about this.
La Stylin Girraffe!
Snejana does mean something between snowflake or cold, rather snowflake though.
Russians girls are often brave. Love her look.
i think punk is definitely more dominant in the mainstream fashion in russia than it is in other countries... what I find interesting is that Kuznetskiy most is the uber-rich, "if-you-have-to-ask-you-cant-afford" it shopping area.. and also happens to be full of cookie-cutter haute couture fashionistas. So you found this young lady there..does that mean that the Moscow meangirls are finally becoming more accepting of style (style beyond fashionTV that is :)??
This photo has inspired me so much that I may give this look a try!
This picture made me jump when I first saw it. I had brain surgery two and a half years ago, and that is pretty much what my hair looked like afterwards, only with more gone and a huge scar. I appreciate you showing this photo...after my surgery, a lot of people commented on how terrible it was to have lost all that hair--but as you noticed, unconventional does not mean ugly.
wow! I will never complain about my naturally, beautifully, intelligently high forehead anymore :-))))
Snegurochka would be the name then, Kuznetzky most 20 is the address btw.
furthermore a being with that name accompanies the russian santa claus - daddy frost!
i like those stories a lot, reminds me of when i was a kid
My favourite kind of woman (the kind whom I try to be) is the one who is able to mix a definite personality and the femme sexiness. It's not so easy. The woman of the photo is a perfect mix.
She's Black & she's beautiful. Thus the tongue & cheek snowflake ref. This from one who is so- called 'racially ambiguous' while Black.
This hairstyle is very Superheroine. It shows off the widow's peak. I think it would look even better if the shaved part were a little darker than the rest.
Wonderful! She could be The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
I love that the 80's have arrived in Moscow!
She look romantic and sensitive.
It is one thing to dress in a manner that portrays punk ideals; it is a completely other thing to do what this woman has done. She is beautiful.
Dang, that's cool. And you're right--the combination of hairline and brows make her features absolutely arresting.
Maybe, her name is Svietlana, it means something like - full of light.
she's fierce, but captivatingly gentle.... I normally think it's corny to describe people with oxymorons but she demonstrates such a breathtaking juxtaposition of spiky and soft.
I think she's playing with her sensuality a bit. The shoulder bare, but the face daring you to notice. The dazzle of the shirt, but the undershirt underneath. The hair rather shaved and unkempt, but also long and a bit sensual. I like it.
I think many of you are over-analyzing this. About the style: it's not nice. It looks a bit asymmetric.
She is lovely. The icy blue is very 80's, so is the haircut. But she's more than this, she's more than a fashion blast to the past, she's eclectic and tasteful. I love the shaved area of her hair, very "out there' and brave. We see people walking down the street that have not let go of an era and it doesn't work. This is not the case here. Her use of makeup and accessories show marked taste. Snowflake is one cool customer.
true individual hair style. don't have many of those nowadays.
It's young women like this that make older men think young again. Sometimes for the better and sometimes... Either way, she's beautiful. Thank you for seeing beyond the expected. SIncerely, Mr. Black
I don't like it, but I like the fact that she's done it.
Hi, Scott! Foto-super, very saturate blog, and I` ve learnt A lot of new about myself))
Call me, when u`ll arrive in Moscow, I shall meet u with my coolest friends!

Hi! Long time no write! Ive been living in the woods for the past year working at a wilderness treatment center for teenage boys. Reflections: The frugality and the greenness of it all was great! Working in four day shifts with two days off and showering and eating 90% of meals there was great for my budget! I love how the high intensity and deepness of the job made me focus on so many things I would miss outside of camp.
The close contact with nature was beautiful. I saw beautiful little lizards everywhere in the spring. The skies were always heavenly morning and night, and I saw tons of spiders and insects I had never seen before and I could just really connect, and feel that God was a beautiful artist creator who had intricately planned every living thing. In the crazy aggressiveness and stress of the job I didn't have time to be concerned about normal things, technology, my appearance, what the rest of the world was doing, but I did find that nature was a great escape for me! If I had just been cursed out or threatened, there was always a lizard or butterfly, beautiful clouds, or playful squirrels to observe and grin at. I found that the wilderness was therapeutic for the boys as well. I had many bonding moments with kids, asking questions about animals or plants or just observing. God walked with me and romanced me through the battlefields of camp! Hiking up to the shower house at nights(not many of them!) was spooky at first, seeing golden eyes in the woods and hearing rustling of leaves, but those hikes became my time to walk with God. I imagined him holding my hand, protecting, reassuring and stargazing with me. There were rarely times where there wasn't a magnificent moon and a spectacular glittering sky that took my breath away. There are certain moments that stand out in my mind. Being on the canoe trip and observing thousands of red and yellow spiders that literally made me shake because they were so pretty and so scary to me! (Didn't help they were falling on us and crawling in our boats constantly!) The canoe trip down the Edistoe was remarkable, even at night and even in the swamp areas, they were beautiful! When I laid down after a hard day in my cot and put the front tent flaps up, it started to sprinkle and the rain was misting into my tent onto my toes! It felt like God was putting little kisses on them. When I saw squirrels relentlessly playing games everyday with each other! It was amazing. I saw a lot of beautiful nature out there and I grew closer connected to God and my soul, I felt more myself breathing so much outside air and soaking in the woods!
I just recently quit this job to do ministry and as I sipped this coffee I wanted to reflect on how good it felt to live outside! I miss the sun beating down on my skin, the cool breezes, but being as its winter now I am not missing the frozen ears, toes, nose, and fingers, wearing so many layers you can barely move, and washing my hands at a frigid water spigot! However, I do miss the deep winter sleep I got there in the cold! unmatchable! I realized through this experience this year that sometimes living simpler and greener is better done... outside. : )
I love God, Trash, The Earth & its inhabitants. Nehemiah 9:6 - You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.

Summer camps
Summer camps
EcoTarium's Loring Summer Discovery Camp will feature three themed sessions for 2007. The camp, one of the region's longest-running summer day camps, offers families flexible one-week and two-week camp options. Camps run weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with extended hours options available.
Space Mission — July 9 to July 13 or Aug. 6 to Aug. 10 — Children head out along the Milky Way Galaxy by way of the museum's planetarium to explore space missions, satellites and the constellation. They'll learn to read traditional and virtual star maps, use a telescope, launch model rockets, make moon journals and more. Campers will also sleep over at the museum for a night of space exploration and stargazing.
Amazing Animals — July 23 to Aug. 3 — Children spend two weeks with creatures from tiny turtles to a 700-pound polar bear. They will learn how to make and deliver animal meals from animal experts. They will build puzzles and other activities to engage the EcoTarium's animals. Campers will find out how and why animals adapt to their habitats, and use tools of backyard exploration to identify birds and insects on the museum grounds.
Wild Planet — July 16 to July 20 or Aug. 13 to Aug. 17 — Children will experiment with the science behind wild weather and natural disasters. From the Tree Canopy Walkway, they'll experience and record weather data. They will make tornadoes, engineer indoor solutions to survive earthquakes and predict the weather.
The EcoTarium also offers volunteer opportunities for teens, ages 16 to 18, through the Counselors-in-Training program. Counselors-in-Training earn community service hours. Call Patricia Fields, camp manager, 508-929-2742 for applications.
Registration deadline is May 31. For information call 508-929-2703 or visit www.ecotarium.org.
Musical theater program
Young musical theater buffs are invited to join Indian Hill Music School this summer to help create a fully-staged production of "Fiddler on the Roof." The new full-day six-week musical theater program for ages 8 to 18 will run from June 25 to Aug. 5 (no classes July 2-4) at Indian Hill Music School, 36 King St. in Littleton. There is also a half-day option for working teens (ages 16 to 18). Call 978-486-9524 or visit www.indianhillmusic.org for tuition and registration information.
Working in collaboration with an outstanding professional team from Village Theatre Project of Groton and the Musical Theater faculty from Indian Hill Music School, participants will be immersed in the wonderful world of musical theater. In addition to core training in voice, drama and stage movement, the comprehensive curriculum includes unique workshops in mime, vocal health, theater make-up tools and techniques, audition preparation, and more. Students interested in assisting with costume design/wardrobe, lighting design/operation, tech crew, sound design/operation, set construction or stage management are also encouraged to sign up. The six-week program will culminate in four fully-staged performances of "Fiddler on the Roof" at Littleton High School with a live orchestra on Aug. 4 and 5. Casting auditions for the show will be held at the end of the first week during regular program hours.
"Fiddler on the Roof" tells the story of Tevye, a poor dairyman trying to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit community in the face of changing times. Its universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion. The show is presented through special arrangements with Music Theatre International. Indian Hill's summer Musical Theater program will be coordinated by Ms. Bonito along with Village Theater Project directors Shelley Bolman and Christopher Chew, and choreographer Laura DeGiacomo.
Indian Hill Music School offers a quality music learning experience for everyone. Our modern facility features 23 state-of-the-art music studios, spacious lobby, 200-seat recital hall, and outdoor activity space. Need-based financial aid scholarships are available for all of our programs; call the office or visit us online for an application. Funding for scholarships is provided by the Albert and Elizabeth Stone Scholarship Fund and the Charles Lincoln Gagnebin Memorial Fund. The programs of Indian Hill Music are supported, in part, by a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Frederick Bernard Wrapson, 18, was born in 1893 in Southampton, his birth being registered in the last quarter of that year. His parents were William Alfred Wrapson (1856-1899) and Emily Hammond (1854-1939), both natives of Fareham, Hampshire who had married in 1875. He had seven siblings: Rosa Emily, Frank, Harry Hammond, George Alfred, Charles Edward, Herbert William and Alice May.
The family appear to be absent for the 1901 census returns but reappear for the 1911 census. By this they are living at 33 Southampton Street, Bedford Place, Southampton. Frederick's mother is a widow and he himself is described as a railway porter.
Frederick, who was unmarried, had previously served aboard Olympic.
He was on board the Titanic for her delivery trip from Belfast to Southampton. When he signed-on again, in Southampton, on 4 April 1912, he gave his address as 33 Southampton. Street, (Southampton). His last ship had been the Olympic. As a 1st class assistant pantry steward he received monthly wages of £3 15s.
Wrapson died in the sinking. His body, if recovered, was never identified.

"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a murder mystery novel like no other. The detective, and narrator, is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's Syndrome. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down."
It's difficult to know how to review this one. On the surface, I didn't really like the book...but the purpose of this particular novel isn't really to entertain.
For me, the majority of fiction I read has to serve one purpose, above all others: to entertain. I want to get absorbed in the story, lost in the words, hooked into the narrative, and basically use books as another form of escapism. Of course if the book also has an important message, that's icing on the cake. But I mainly read fiction for entertainment.
The Curious Incident didn't quite make it, and it was a bit of a chore to finally - finally - finish this book, which has been sitting forlornly on my 'to be read' shelf for possibly over a year now. The predominant emotion I felt throughout the story was frustration. And come on, when I'm on the train at 7:45am on a cold wet day being squashed against the window by a really big person sitting next to me - I'm already kind of in a sour mood. The last thing I need to be thinking is "This is the most frustrating, dysfunctional bunch of main characters I have ever spent time with".
Of course, the protagonist (and narrator) has every reason to come across as frustrating, and I guess that's where this book really shines through: realism. Every single other person that Christopher came into contact with struck me as incredibly real. The dialogue, their thoughts, their actions, and most of all how Christopher perceived them, seemed to leap off the page. Plus, I definitely have a bit more of a sense now for what it must be like to live with someone who has a mental illness. If I felt frustrated just by reading a (comparatively) short novel about someone with Asperger's, I can't imagine how difficult it would be to feel that way every single day.
I have a terrible feeling if I go on for too much longer, I'll fall into some horrible quagmire of Insensitivity and/or Political Incorrectness. Normally, I fully support this on the Internet - there's too much careful sidestepping and political correctness everywhere else in the world, it's often refreshing to find someone who doesn't give a damn and just says what they think. But for now, I'll leave this review with just one final comment...
RATING: ...I'm giving it points for sheer realism, and also for (as I call it) Dealing with a Significant Issue, but for me personally, I wasn't a fan of the book. 2 STARS

Fresh cupcakes are a delicious treat. But unless you live at a cupcakery, it's hard to whip up daily fresh batches of cupcakes. Common ingredients, such as eggs, butter and cream, spoil quickly and begin declining in taste after just 24 hours in unrefrigerated environments. Fortunately, with the proper storage, you can preserve the freshness of your cupcakes past their 24-hour mark and up to 10 days.
Place your cupcakes on the counter for approximately one hour or until the frosting cools and feels slightly hard. Mildly hard frosting won't stick to the lid of the container and damage any decorative designs. Frosting made from scratch generally hardens faster than canned frosting with preservatives.
Wrap each cupcake in cling film once the frosting has hardened slightly. Cling film seals in moisture and prevents the cake portion of the cupcake from becoming dry and crumbly in the refrigerator. Wrap a second layer of foil around the cling film as a protective buffer between each cupcake. If you have to transport the cupcakes, the foil barrier prevents them from accidentally hitting each other and ruining any decorative frosting designs.
Arrange the foil-wrapped cupcakes in an airtight plastic container, and close the lid. Place the container in the refrigerator away from the cold-air vent, which can expedite the drying process or cause freezing. Your cupcakes will remain fresh between seven and 10 days inside the refrigerator, depending on the temperature and the ingredients in your cupcakes. Recipes made with dairy products, such as cream, butter or eggs, decline in taste faster than cupcakes made from a package mix.
Store your cupcakes up to six months by freezing only the cake portion in a freezer-ready zip seal bag. When you're ready to serve the cupcakes, thaw them on the counter for three hours, make and apply the frosting after thawing.

For all the complaints that surround Jack and, even more so, Kate- why not Sawyer? I've always been a bit disappointed that people are apparently willing to overlook the fact that he's made some of the biggest douche moves on the show for the fact that he's got dimples and funny nicknames.
Yes, when Sawyer became domestic Dharma security man it was a complete 360. We see that he's matured, is in a very stable relationship, and isn't a total a** like he was before. Then the whole Juliet ordeal happens, and he's back to being the rogue cowboy who doesn't care about anyone but himself.
He has every right to be all emotionally stricken and what have you, of course, but the fact that he flat-out blames Jack? He was trying to stop all of the horr…

Note from the blogster: We have to be careful when relating stories read in the MSM. Who knows who is telling the truth?
Reblogged from www.theguardian.com
Defence attache called to Moscow to clarify 'inaccurate' newspaper reports concerning RAF rules of engagement in Iraq
Russia's defence ministry has summoned the British defence attache over reports in Sunday newspapers claiming that RAF pilots were given licence to shoot down Russian jets in Iraq if threatened.
The reports in the Daily Star on Sunday and the Sunday Times were described by the UK Foreign Office as inaccurate. The report said RAF Tornado fighters launching airstrikes on Islamic State targets in Iraq were using missiles designed for aerial combat.
The British embassy in Moscow confirmed that the defence attache had been asked to clarify the UK's position and had visited the Russian ministry of defence in Moscow on Sunday.
According to a British government source, Russia accepted the explanation.
A Foreign Office spokesperson in London said the defence attache had expressed concern over Russia's Syria policy during the meeting: "The Russian government sought clarification over inaccurate newspaper reports concerning RAF rules of engagement in Iraq. The defence attache reiterated the British government's concerns about Russia's military operation in Syria, including targeting legitimate opposition groups, using unguided weaponry and leading to large numbers of civilian deaths."
In London, the Russian ambassador, Alexander Yakovenko, said Moscow had urgently requested an explanation from the Foreign Office.
He said: "The very premise of a potential conflict of UK and Russian combat aircraft over Iraq is incomprehensible. It is known that Russian air force does not take part in strikes against Isis targets in the said country. At the same time, RAF does not participate in the anti-Isis coalition strikes in Syria. The question arises, what is the goal of such a provocative media leak? Whose morale are they meant to raise?"
The Daily Star Sunday, which claimed the story as an exclusive, said British pilots have been told to take drastic action if fired upon by Russians during missions over Iraq and that it was just a matter of time before there was a deadly confrontation with Russian planes
The Star added that RAF Tornado jets will be equipped with the Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile – a supersonic weapon which can blast any aircraft out of the sky.
The Sunday Times appears to have followed up the story.
An RAF spokesman said: "There is no truth in this story."
A defence source said that RAF planes flying in Iraq can carry air-to-air missiles but they do not in Iraq and there is no intention to do so. The RAF only conducts surveillance over Syrian air space at present but these are carried out by Reaper drones. RAF surveillance planes also monitor events on the ground in Syria but they do so from positions outside Syria.
Russia has not ruled out airstrikes in Iraq if they are requested by the Iraqi government, but so far is only operating in Syria.
Yakovenko also complained that Britain had not provided intelligence to Russia on the location of Isis's infrastructure in Syria, despite repeated requests. Western countries have expressed alarm at the Russian campaign in the country. President Vladimir Putin has said the goal is to target Isis, but the strikes appear mainly to have targeted rebel groups fighting
Bashar al-Assad's forces.
The Russian strikes came after Putin addressed the UN late last month and called for a global coalition against Isis. Just two days later, Russian planes carried out their first attacks.
Kommersant Dengi, a financial magazine, estimated the potential cost of Russia's Syria commitments to be €1bn (£740m) a year.

Spurred by the ballooning development of Marcellus Shale and other shale gas plays in the South and West, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proposing new emissions standards to control and reduce air toxins emitted from oil and gas drilling operations.
The EPA said the air pollution reductions from well drilling, leaking pipes and pipelines, storage tanks and compressor stations could be achieved using existing technologies already employed by several companies and required by some states, but not Pennsylvania.
The EPA was under a court-ordered consent decree to issue the proposed standards by today and take final action by Feb. 28, 2012. It will accept public comments on the proposed standards and hold three public hearings in the Pittsburgh, Dallas and Denver areas. Dates of the hearings were not announced but will be set soon, according to the EPA.
Clean Air Watch President Frank O'Donnell praised the EPA's approach for addressing air pollution from drilling operations.
"For an agency that's frequently derided as 'job-killing,' this proposal looks very promising," Mr. O'Donnell said. "It would not only reduce air pollution but would save industry money. It doesn't solve all the issues associated with fracking, but at least it would reduce the air pollution problems caused by it."

Robert Ballard – Rediscovered the Titanic
Robert Ballard was the man that lead the team that discovered the wreckage of the Titanic. He has also been extremely involoved in finidng other ship wrecks throughout the world. I read a book by Ballard a couple of years ago and it was almost above my reading level. I think of myself as a fairly smart guy and a good reader but his book was hard. It was a really good book that talked about finding the titanic but he used so many words that I didn't know. I basically had to read it with a dictionary by my side. He sent a short little note and an autographed picture. The letter says, "Study hard and follow your dreams! Robert Ballard"

A Bed-Time Song
by Lilian Dynevor Rice
Sway to and fro in the twilight gray,
This is the ferry for Shadowtown;
It always sails at the end of the day
Just as the darkness is closing down.
Rest, little head, on my shoulder, so.
A sleepy kiss is the only fare,
Drifting away from the world we go,
Baby and I in the rocking chair.
See where the firelogs glow and spark
Glitter the lights of the shadowland;
The winter rain in the window, hark!
Are ripples lapping upon its strand.
There! Where the mirror is glancing dim,
A lake lies shimmering cool and still,
Blossoms are waving above its brim,
Those over there on the windowsill,
Rock slow, more slow in the dusky light,
Silently lower the anchor down!
Dear little passenger, say "Good night"
we've reached the harbor of Shadowtown.

Dimanche croissants de matin
At my house, Sunday morning brings a special treat: croissants. I mentioned there is a pâtisserie in my neighborhood that sells the most delicious pastries, and they also make perfect croissants. Plain, amande, chocolat--everyone has their favorite. This morning it is deux pain au chocolat and three croissants. No need to go into detail who ate what; it's enough to say that they were delicious!
And for dinner, spinach ravioli with the pommarola sauce I bought yesterday at the farmer's market. Add to that a salad made with the last of this week's baby greens, and a glass of wine for a delicious late afternoon dîner.
Tomorrows post: Putting it all together

Indulge me here...are these croissants of the buttery flaky variety with a crisp exterior and pillow soft interior like you find in France? Can you tell I miss them? I am spoiled on croissants now and have not found one here that compares.....yet.ReplyDelete
LOL Stephanie! I will send some to you if you like.ReplyDelete
The owner of this bakery, Marc Randolph, was a former pastry chef at the Watergate. Together with his wife, they have maintained this pâtisserie for at least 18 years. Everything they do, from croissants to cupcakes, is delcious. Believe me when I say I know how fortunate I am to have this in my neighborhood.
When we lived in France my greatest weekend pleasures where croissants or escargot, we had the most wonderful baker in town who also happened to be an award-winning chocolatier - it was heaven.

Just a quick note before I go off to fire up a new report. (Cross posted from my tumblr feed)
Original article from the Wired.
Ok, here's my take on it.
There seem to be a way to build a cheap microfluidic array using household materials costing around three cents. The materials involved are standard double sided tapes and paper (which acts as the pump for the liquid), etched using off-the-shelf laser cutter, a process usually relegated to multimillion dollar semiconductor fabricator.
Provided that mTAS chip systems utilizing chemical fluids follow a law similar to the one that seem to govern standard silicon chips, we might be living in an age signaling the beginning of largest medical sciences revolution in human history. Cheap and effective medical testing and possibly production solutions that can be distributed all over the globe for practically anyone to build on. If such technology can be combined with the openscience movements like the science commons, well the humanitarian and commercial potentials will be endless.
I did think of doing a io9 madscience entry (on science-fictional applications of synthetic biology) on synthetic biology-utilizing mTAS chip that can be used to manufacture minuscule amount of specified chemicals that can be used for periodic medications or for recovering out-house patients, but I scrapped it in favor of epigenetic production using extracellular matrices. This will be a promising development well-worth following up on.

Tonight she had her first food... Sweet potatoes. She loved them. Well, mostly.
I wish I had more time to say more things about this incredible little baby girl. But I'm too busy loving my kids, homeschooling, coordinating MOPS, and keeping our house a home for us all to have time to write these days. And that's ok. My priorities include family first and that's just how it has to be right now.
Maybe I'll find some time to write a few words here and there though... Maybe. 😊

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.

This post has spoilers for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
I already discussed the topic of dumb comedies and why I love them in my review of Neighbors (https://smallerthangalaxies.wordpress.com/2014/06/03/neighbors-2014-movie-review/) which I loved a lot and is currently my favorite movie released this year (though I haven't seen too many released this year) but after watching Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues for the first time I kind of wanted to expand upon the topic of "stupid comedies that are self aware" and why I love them. For one thing, I loved Anchorman 2 probably more than most people did, I think it is just as good as the first if not better, it's even more over the top, filled with an absurd amount of cameos, the lead actors are good as per usual, Kristen Wiig (I may or may not like Kristen Wiig far too much, so my opinion may as well be bias) kills it in her small supporting role and plays off Steve Carell as Brick perfectly, and the movie has parody within the movie especially with the montage after Ron becomes blind and the ridiculously bad over the top acting done by Will Ferrell and Judah Nelson (who plays Walter, his son) clearly making fun of overly sentimental moments in romantic movies or dramas where the family all reunite and everything will be okay!
For me there were tons of memorable scenes from the Brick funeral scene where Brick is totally not dead which just killed me, Champ's racism, the great play on how news media has turned to total fucking shit and only covers "entertaining news" rather than actually important news and how the wealthy controls the news now, hell, even minor things on racial tensions in the 80s, the RV scene, the even more over the top battle scene compared to the first one (And those cameos: Kanye West? Amy Poehler? Tina Fey? Jim Carrey? Liam Neeson? John C. Reily? Holy shit)…the list could go on. I enjoyed the hell out of it, it's dumb yet still brings some social commentary to the table about news media and the problems with it but overall focuses more on as many laughs as possible which I'm okay with. The plot is very loose and more built upon the humor itself than actually having a core, sensible story which is part of the reason I enjoy over the top comedy in the first place, it throws the plot away and focuses on laughs which is fine since that is the first goal of a comedy: laughter.
The reason why I love dumb comedies is they provide an outlet for the stupid part that we all have in us, I've never been a fan of people who think comedies like this are "demeaning" in some way or purely stupid when there is still some clear things the movie is trying to say even if you think the humor is stupid, it's the self-awareness that makes it for me. One of my favorite comedy writers/directors of all time is John Hughes who was certainly less over the top than Anchorman is obviously but even his films get incredibly stupid in a great way at times especially Weird Science or Ferris Bueller and these movies are instant classics in my book that are memorable for their over the top humor but even they hold some meaning (well Ferris Bueller more than Weird Science to be honest), these stupid comedies aren't just self-aware (and funny in my opinion), they have things to say and maybe they even say it better than most dramas who take themselves too seriously sometimes and only leads to a path of force fed message rather than a more fun and entertaining one which after all is the first goal of any movie: to be entertaining and then providing an interesting message inside that.
My real point of this post is that these stupid comedies are way more than that and I think people avoid recognizing that and would rather just focus on how the movie isn't "quotable" enough or that the movie is overly "stupid" despite the fact that sometimes people need to let loose a bit and realize that who the hell cares that it's stupid? Maybe that's why it's good in the first place. These movies still have a place for social commentary while making you laugh which to me is more powerful and more important than any drama or movie that takes themselves seriously because once you lose a sense of humor, I think you've lost everything and that is why I'll always prefer comedies to any other genre, they can do what most dramas do but provide the power of laughter all at once. Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion and mine is no better than anyone else's but I love my stupid comedies and I loved Anchorman 2 (which maybe had more to say than the first one in my opinion) and I think these comedies are sometimes (if not most of the time) a better outlet for important messages about life in layers of either subtly or maybe not so subtle which is fine to if done right.
But then again maybe I'm wrong about all of this, I still think Saturday Night Live is funny which is like a sin to say nowadays.

Voluptuous grapes, scantily clad harvesters, sexy lounge music oh my!
In all seriousness, I ran across this sleek little video hosted by Stéphane that tours the Tissot domaine and walks you through their practices. André makes several appearances, as does the future of the Tissot domaine. Learn how to identify and hand-pick Poulsard grapes from one of the best!
You really get a feel for how beautiful the Jura is...you can almost smell the Vin Jaune! Definitely worth checking out, even if (like me) you don't understand very much français!

Here is a very simple but rather luxurious dish, and for those of us who love saffron, a real treat. I would say it goes best with simply cooked chicken or fish, but it would certainly work with beef or lamb, or as part of a series of vegetarian dishes... very flexible, in other words.
I didn't throw in a clove of garlic, but you could; you certainly could.
6 servings
30 minutes prep time
3 medium leeks
250 grams (1/2 pound) button or other mushrooms
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup 10% cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon saffron strands
1 tablespoon flour
Trim the leeks, and cut them in half lengthwise. Cut into 1/2" slices the other way. Put them in a strainer and rinse and drain them well. Clean the mushrooms and cut them into quarters.
Heat the butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the dry leeks, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until quite soft but not browned. Reduce the heat if it looks like they might!
Add the mushrooms, and continue cooking, stirring a bit more frequently, until the mushrooms too soften and look cooked to your liking. You may wish to increase the heat slightly when you add them - they do cool down the pan considerably.
Meanwhile, measure the cream and add the salt, pepper, and saffron, rubbed firmly through your fingers, to it. Set it to the back of the stove to warm slightly, or put it in the microwave for 20 seconds or so.
When the leeks and mushrooms are done to your liking, sprinkle the flour over them and mix it in well, and let it cook for a minute. Slowly stir in the seasoned cream. When it is well mixed in and starting to thicken, remove the leeks and mushrooms to a serving dish at once - it will continue to thicken slightly in the dish.

So instead of blabbing on and on about color and whatnot, I figure why not let the drawings speak for themselves. The image attached is a color/texture study I've made. This is the direction I'd like to go with Jam Tomorrow. Its been steadily evolving over the last few months but this is the style I'll be finishing the comics in. Its simple to do which is good for keeping on schedule.
A special thanks to all the returning visitors, your support is keeping me going. To any new people stopping by today for the first time, thanks for taking a look at my work. I hope you'll stick around.

Neelie Kroes on separating energy trading and infrastructure
Speech by DG Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes on competition in European energy markets. This includes the following passage:
Speaking very personally, I see only one way forward if we are to restore credibility and faith in the market. Europe needs a structural solution that once and for all separates infrastructure from supply and generation. In other words: ownership unbundling. Then we will finally see an end to discrimination, and we will also have laid the ground for a system of proper investment incentives.

British Woman Has Over 50 Plastic Surgeries to Look Like Queen Nefertiti
You've heard of women undergoing plastic surgery to look like Pamela Anderson or getting a lift here and a tuck there to revamp their overall image. But have you heard the one about a woman spending over $320,000 and going under the knife for 51 different cosmetic procedures, all in an effort to look like the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti? Well, 52-year-old Nileen Namita of the UK did just that, and the before and after pictures of the formerly-normal-looking British woman are pretty shocking.
Nefertiti – whose name means "the beautiful one has come" – is history's most famous "Queen" of Ancient Egypt, and was known far and wide as a beautiful woman in ancient Egyptian times. Take a look at the 3,300-year-old bust of Nefertiti, and you'll see why she is still considered an iconic figure in regards to female beauty today. Apparently, Nileen Namita admires Nefertiti's reputation as a beautiful woman, but she seems to have taken her admiration a little too far.
obsessive and creepy incredible plastic surgery transformation began back in 1987, when she suddenly decided that she had lived as Nefertiti in a past life. So why not live as her in her current life as well? In order to achieve this goal, the mother of three spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and underwent more than 50 plastic surgery procedures to reform her face into an exact replica of Queen Nefertiti. Among her plastic surgeries were three facelifts, eight nose jobs, one eyebrow lift, three chin implants, six mini facelifts, five eye surgeries, two lip surgeries, and 20 minor tweaks, and she isn't done just yet. As Nileen says, "I would like my lips to be made a little finer and plan to have some more surgery on my nose to even out my nostrils."
According to the 52-year-old, "Throughout my childhood and teen years, I had constant vivid dreams of this ancient queen. They were visions of incredible intensity – I could see where she lived, her servants, her rooms, even the food she ate – and although at first I found the dreams frightening, I began to research what they meant. Aged 23, I underwent psychoanalysis with a counselor. Slowly, I began to realize that I was having these dreams because I am a reincarnation of Nefertiti." Fortunately for her children and family, she didn't envision herself living in a past life as the Little Mermaid or Conan the Barbarian. Now she just has to learn to walk like an Egyptian and she's all set!

She looks so odd, but it contrasts with the typically inflated look of plastic surgeries. I don't think Nefertiti is even that attractive (IMO).
She has ruined her pretty face!
Yeah – she really looks like Queen Nefertiti doesn't she – like she's been dead for thousands of years! More money than sense. Eeejit.
If she was an incarnation of queen Nefertiti, she wouldn't need all these surgeries..she would have looked naturally like the queen. she has spoiled her beauty, now she looks like a bloated monkey with tight lips that looks like she can hardly open her mouth..
"Mum, can we eat tonight?"
"No, no food for anyone, Mummy has to have her nostrils evened out"
No need to put queen in "" she really was a queen of Egypt.
She actually looks more like a burns victim
They gave her what she wanted, the look of a thousands year old mummy. Idiot.
This woman is from Germany. Years back (a decade or so) she was a regular visitor to german tv shows. She was already a plastic surgery victim back then. After she wouldn't find any german surgeon to do more surgery on her, she moved to the UK where she found a willing doctor. In the beginning there was no Neferiti BS involved, that came way later, iirc either shorty before she moved to England or after.
I don't know who worked on her face but ….Man ! She is far away from Nefretete !!!! Nefretete was beautiful woman , what we see today is a real monster , created by some poor surgeons . After 20 years she will looks even worse , I wonder where she will hide then ?? …….
she is already ugly in the first place but after surgery she just looks worse
Nefertiti was an African woman. Lots of European women pay to have African features. This one went very very wrong

How to cook Thanksgiving Dinner for 2:
Before the big day:
1. Plan your menu. Go to the store. Remember....the freezer section is your friend.
2. Take the (frozen) items you bought and put them in your freezer at home.
On the big day:
3. Take out the Rhodes rolls to thaw
4. Bake Frozen Pumpkin pie
5. Bake frozen turkey breast (remember to remove frozen gravy packet first)
6. Bake now thawed rhodes rolls
7. Steam frozen vegetables
8. Pour Box of stuffing into boiling water. Wait for 5 minutes. Put in nice bowl.
9. Thaw frozen gravy that came with turkey.
10. Make home-made mashed potatoes. Really...it's the least you could do.
Put everything on the table at Noon. Open your bottle of sparkeling cider and toast to a delicious meal, you hardly had to work to prepare. Oh yeah...and to family and blessings and stuff like that. :)
Eat food. You will probably be finished by 12:15
Throw away (okay...recycle) the one time use aluminum roasting pan, put your 2 plates and silverware in the dishwasher, put left over food in the fridge.
Then curl up on the couch, put on Shrek 2, and take a long and well deserved afternoon nap.
When you wake up, Eat your Pumpkin Pie.
Can you say...P-E-R-F-E-C-T??!!
I'd invite you, but dinner for 2+ might not be so easy. Unless, ofcourse, you bring all the food.

The motor sports mogul popped the question on Christmas Day.
See what's bubbling over in the kitchen:
• Congratulations to Eve and her longtime beau, Maximillion Cooper, on their engagement. Sources have confirmed Cooper popped the question on Christmas Day. Eve's been spotted wearing a rather flashy rock on Instagram and fans have steadily been congratulating her on the news. The rapper and her family have been spending the holidays in London with Cooper and his family. This will be Eve's first marriage and Cooper's second. The motor sports mogul has four children from his previous marriage. [E! Online]
• OWN has acquired television rights to the new biopic, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. The film stars Idris Elba who plays the late iconic leader while Naomie Harris plays Winnie Mandela. According to the deal, OWN will debut the film sometime in 2017. "We couldn't be more honored to showcase this powerful film to the OWN viewers," said Erik Logan, president of OWN. "Nelson Mandela was Oprah's hero, and ultimately, the inspiration behind Oprah's school in South Africa. His story of forgiveness and redemption is a gift not only to the people he touched, but to the world." [Hollywood Reporter]
• Quvenzhané Wallis may only be 10 years old but she's set to make a mini fortune off her upcoming movie, Annie. According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Wallis banked $750,000 as a base salary for doing the film. If it does well, she will earn another $750,000. She's also expected to gain five percent of all royalties and merchandising as well as 10% of sound track royalties. [TMZ]
• Beyoncé is under fire for using audio from the 1986 Challenger explosion in her song "XO." She responded to the criticism and says she never intended to offend. "My heart goes out to the families of those lost in the Challenger disaster," she said in a statement. "The song 'XO' was recorded with the sincerest intention to help heal those who have lost loved ones and to remind us that unexpected things happen, so love and appreciate every minute that you have with those who mean the most to you." [CNN]
