Let's see what we have...
- Ignore Feature
If you need to ignore a member, but can't do that on your own (because guys DO get on others' nerves through PM's and in legitimate discussion threads), there's an ignore feature. Go to the profile of the member you wish to ignore, use the simple drop-down menu to the left, under his personal photo (Options), and select the option to ignore him/her. You can't ignore the staff members, but ignoring a member makes their posting invisible to your eyes, and keeps them from PM'ing you (I believe, I have never had to use this feature). You can manage ignored members in my Controls (under the banner) > Manage Ignored Users.
- Fast Reply Box
Older versions of phpBB didn't have this by default, but IP.Board does. The fast reply box is probably one of my favorite features. You know exactly what it does and you know where it's at (always waiting for you at the bottom of each topic, just hit the button), but if you want to keep it open all the time, go to My Controls > Board Settings and select yes to "Open Fast Reply automatically when available?"
- Useful Tags
If you want to embed a YouTube video, or cover up a potential spoiler, you can. To the left of every post reply, you will see a Quick Access box under the Emoticons. Each selection will explain how the tag works. Hell, you can even center items, something you should have been able to do with all versions of phpBB.
- A real member profile
IP.Board actually gives you the chance to have a real member profile that's actually worth reading. You can have an About Me page, add a personal photo, and maintain a list of friends and comments.
- Extra Board Settings
Under My Controls > Board Settings, you have the following options:
Do you wish to view members signatures when reading topics?
Do you wish to view images in posts, such as smilies and posted images?
Do you wish to view members avatars when reading topics?
Do you wish to get a board notification when you get a new personal message?

Damien Hirst, Warhol Reborn
The Daily Pic (London edition): Hirst gets better and better, the more he makes art about how his art sells.
Really "For the Love of God" – or of Mammon? This is Damien Hirst's famous diamond-and-platinum skull that sold (sort of) for $100 million in 2007. I've argued before that the God-and-death themes in the piece are much less interesting than its Mammon-and-money side. In a big Hirst profile in this week's Newsweek, I make the claim that Hirst's deep engagement with the market, especially over the last five years, have made him one of the most important artists of our era – the truest heir to Warhol and his claim that the business of art can be great art, too.

If your Missouri farm has been in your family since Dec. 31, 1908, you can apply to have it recognized as a Missouri Century Farm. To qualify, farms must meet the following guidelines.
The same family must have owned the farm for 100 consecutive years.
The line of ownership from the original settler or buyer may be through children, grandchildren, siblings, and nephews or nieces, including through marriage or adoption.
The farm must be at least 40 acres of the original land acquisition and make a financial contribution to the overall farm income.
It is important to honor and respect our history," said Michael Ouart, vice provost for University of Missouri Extension. "These farms represent both Missouri's cultural heritage and the good stewardship that our farmers strive for."
This year, the Missouri Farm Bureau joined MU Extension and the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources as a program sponsor.
"Missouri Farm Bureau is proud to partner in the recognition of these unique and historical family farms," said Charles Kruse, president of Missouri Farm Bureau.
"They represent the continued importance of production agriculture to our state and nation."
Applicants certified as owners of a 2008 Missouri Century Farm will be recognized by their local MU Extension offices in the counties where the farms are located. Applicants are presented with a sign and a certificate.
Since Missouri began the program in 1976, more than 7,000 century farms have been recognized.
For applications received by May 1, a $35 fee covers the cost of certificates, farm signs and booklets for approved applicants.
If the application is received between May 1 and May 15, the cost is $45. Applications must be postmarked by May 15 to be considered.
For application forms and information, call Extension Publications toll-free at (800) 292-0969, contact your local Missouri Extension office, or visit the program Web site at http://extension.missouri.edu/centuryfarm.

Dr. Philip Kyle: Distinguished Researcher 2012SOCORRO, N.M. May 24, 2012 – Each year, Tech recognizes outstanding two faculty members at commencement with special awards.
|Dr. Philip Kyle (left) receives the Distinguished Researcher Award from V.P. of Research Dr. Van Romero at the 2012 Commencement Ceremony.
|Kyle in his natural environment -- in Antarctica.
|Kyle poses at Harry's Dream, an ice tower created by gas emissions on the flank of Erebus Volcano in Antarctica.
Dr. Van Romero, vice president for Research, introduced Kyle, a professor of geochemistry in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science, as the recipient of the Distinguished Research Award. .
The recipient of the Distinguished Research Award is chosen by a committee of Tech faculty and researchers from a list of people from the entire Tech campus nominated by their colleagues.
Kyle is a native of New Zealand, where he completed his university degrees. He worked at The Ohio State University for five years and joined the faculty at New Mexico Tech in 1981.
Kyle's specialty is the study of volcanoes and volcanic rocks. He and his graduate students have studied volcanoes in Chile, Vanuatu, Hawaii, Russia, Italy and the United States.
He is best known for his research in Antarctica, where he created and has virtually taken up residence at the Mount Erebus Volcano Observatory. For 39 years Dr. Kyle has spent his winter months at the bottom of the Earth, where he now directs research, mentors students, and has celebrated his birthday and numerous Christmas holidays.
He has received over 20 National Science Foundation grants while at New Mexico Tech, authored more than 200 scientific papers, and served as editor of two books.
"I'm very honored and surprised," Kyle said. "It feels good and makes the time in the field more rewarding . My research in Antarctica has been possible and fun because of the many graduate students and colleagues I have invited to join me."
When Kyle went on his first research trip to Antarctica in 1969, the continent was largely unexplored.
"We went out and looked at volcanic rocks near McMurdo Station (the main base of operations) and we were the first one to do it," Kyle said. "There's something psychologically thrilling about saying, 'I'm the first one'."
In recognition of his exploration three topographic features in Antarctica are named after Kyle- Kyle Cone, Kyle Peak and Kyle Hills.
Over the years, Kyle had many research "firsts" in Antarctica. During that first trip in 1969, he looked up in awe at the steaming volcano that is Mount Erebus.
"I got the calling," he said. "Some people find God. I found Erebus. As a grad student, I was one of the first to go to the top for an extended period of time. That's when we discovered a rare lake of molten lava in a 600 foot deep crater"
Kyle has been back to Erebus almost every year since then, assessing the mood of the volcano and watching changes in the lava lake and eruptive patterns. Over the years, he has tried on several occasions to visit the lava lake, but he and his colleagues have been turned back almost every time by eruptions.
"It's always been a long-term dream to get to the lava lake inside the crater," Kyle said. "We tried in 1974 and realized it was going to be a major undertaking. … We were going to sample gases and lava. One night two of us were inside the crater half way down to the lava lake when 'Boom'. We had a little eruption which blasted us the ground and filled the air with large lava bombs."
Another attempt in 1978 was again turned back when the researchers had to dodge flying lava bombs. The next attempt was in 1992, when engineers at Carnegie Mellon sent a robot named Dante over the crater rim and into the crater.
"It took about 20 steps and died," Kyle said
About that same time, Kyle and colleagues began to realize that Erebus was an important and significant volcano.
"Antarctica is pristine," he said. "Erebus is an important source of gases to the Antarctic atmosphere, what I call a natural polluter. It's environmentally important because it's adding gas to the pristine environment. I thought we really needed to set up regular observations and to monitor the changeable moods of the volcano."
That was the beginning of the Mount Erebus Volcano Observatory, now two small huts near the 12,500 foot summit. An earlier hut up closer to the crater rim was abandoned in 1984 when larger and more frequent eruptions nearly hit the hut.
New Mexico Tech scientists and students and international collaborators have maintained an array of seismometers and other instruments at Erebus for 20 years, thanks to continuous funding from the National Science Foundation. A proposal for another five years of funding for the observatory is pending.
"Our questions and our science has been evolving and getting more sophisticated, compared to the early days," he said. "Erebus is special and unique. The main thing that makes it workable is that it's accessible."
Easily accessible for two months, that is.
Erebus is only 20 miles from McMurdo Station, where the Tech team has ample support and helicopter transport.
"Many other volcano observatories are probably jealous of how easy it is for us to get there," he said.
Erebus poses no major hazard to civilization. The observatory is dedicated to science.
"We go and understand how volcanoes work and that's the unique part about it," he said. "To me, the important part of it is being an incredible place to take graduate students. More than 30 have gone with me and many have gone on to do their thesis or dissertation on an aspect of Erebus."
Over the years, Kyle's research has centered on volcanic rocks, the origin of the lava and the volcano's gas emissions.
"I'd arrive at the hut and no one could distract me," he said. "I'd be out measuring gases to figure out what sort of contribution Erebus was making to the Antarctic atmosphere."
These days, Kyle does less research. He is mostly a manager, mentor and teacher. Managing the observatory – along with co-principal investigator Dr. Clive Oppenheimer of Cambridge University – is a year-round job.
"It's not like you can just pack up and head down," he said. "I spend summer planning, organizing and dealing with the support contractors."
His second love is Kamchatka, the volcanically active region in far eastern Russia, which he's visited 10 times. He received an NSF grant for his first trip to study in Kamchatka just as the Soviet Union fell apart.
"Over the 10 years it has been fascinating seeing the transition from the broken Soviet era infrastructure to a more modern democratic society," he said. "Kamchatka was a big, mythical place because Westerners weren't allowed in. There are always at least two to four volcanoes erupting in Kamchatka. It's amazing. The Russians didn't have modern analytical facilities, so we had this pristine, new opportunity to bring our science to other wonderful volcanoes."
Kyle and students were among the first geochemists to fingerprint volcanic ash erupted over the last 10,000 years from the region's larger eruptions. Now the chemical compositions of the glass in the ashes help scientists identify them all over the peninsula and in the sea surrounding the peninsula.
Kyle also assisted the Chilean government to measure gas emissions from an erupting volcano in the late 1980s. The gases were fluorine rich and were killing cattle and threated nearby villages.
That was an opportunity for Kyle to work in hazard mitigation and ensure the safety of people living close to the volcano.
Antarctica presents another personal benefit to Kyle; the research team stops in New Zealand on the way home.
"Part of the fascination is that I get a free trip to my birth home – and that's also summer in New Zealand," he said. "We often go thaw out on the New Zealand beaches – and there are nice volcanoes to take field trips with students."

Mary Zastrow is coming home to express her gratitude. Some day, she'd like to return after winning a Tony Award, too.
Mary Zastrow is coming home to express her gratitude. Some day, she'd like to return after winning a Tony Award, too.
Zastrow's showing her appreciation by serenading the Stockton Rotary's 100-year legacy.
"I would have pursued music, no matter what," said Zastrow, the beneficiary of Rotary's philanthropic generosity. "As long as I have a voice, I can sing.
"But Rotary helped me so much with support. Emotionally. A lot of people don't have the opportunity to do this. Some people think singing (as a career) is foolish. Other people know this is wonderful and I'm supposed to do this."
In addition to her family and friends, members of Stockton Rotary realized and appreciated Zastrow's musical potential.
In 2005, they gave the Stagg High School graduate a $2,000 scholarship to pursue her goals.
She did that, earning a degree in vocal performance at California Institute of the Arts in Valencia. Now 26, she's teaching to pay the bills while using her vocal education and experience to build a career in musical theater. There's no easy way to do that.
Zastrow returns to Stockton tonight, when she'll demonstrate her vocal talents during an event at The Haggin Museum celebrating the service club's 100th year.
She'll represent Stockton Rotary's historical arc: "I'm going through all the ages of Rotary in song. All the different time periods it's been around."
That includes: George M. Cohan's "You're a Grand Old Flag" (1905); "I'll Be Seeing You" by Sammy Fain and Irving Kahal (1938); "Aquarius (Let the Sun Shine In)" by James Rado, Gerome Ragni and Galt MacDermot (1967); "True Colors," a hit single written for Cyndi Lauper by Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg in 1986; and ABBA's "Thank You for the Music" (1977).
Zastrow can relate to that.
"I've been singing my whole life," said Zastrow, a Stockton native who added dancing at age 3. "I've always looked up to Julie Andrews. She's probably the biggest reason I have such a love of musical theater."
She got lots of encouragement in Stockton from mom Pam Curtin, a special-education teacher at Stagg; dad Nicholas Curtin, a former Rotary member who worked for the Hanot Foundation; and sister Christa, 26, a Stagg High graduate who works for Pandora Media in Oakland. (Mary's birth father, Stephen Zastrow, died when she was 15 months old.)
Zastrow received a different kind of scholarship from her teachers.
"I've always said I'd take her to the Tony Awards if I ever get nominated," she said of Judy Caruso Williamson, her theater teacher at Stagg. Art Hamilton and Mel Suguitan, music instructors at Hamilton Middle School and Stagg, would be next in line.
"I worked with a lot of them," said Zastrow, who played clarinet in Stagg's marching and concert bands, sang in the school and honor choirs and acted in musical productions directed by Caruso Williamson. "All of them. They always knew I was like this girl thriving for extra singing, dancing, acting. They were all supportive of my love for it. I spent more time in rehearsals than I did at parties."
She recalled playing Marian (the librarian) Paroo in "The Music Man" and Hope Harcourt in "Anything Goes."
Zastrow recently finished playing the role of Fantine in a Simi Valley production of "Les Miserables." She's also performed in "Legally Blonde" there.
When she's not teaching privately or at Gymboree in Los Angeles, the Burbank resident is preparing for taking tough tests.
"It's audition season," she said Tuesday. "It's rough. It's awful, but - even if you don't make it - that means you're one step closer to the show you should be in. It's really the only way to get through it."
A soprano who spent four years singing opera in college, Zastrow said, "Ultimately I'd love to win a Tony, but - realistically - you should have big goals. To know how to take big steps you have to take baby steps, which are not bad steps to take.
"Musical theater is my first love. I took four years off and came out going, 'Oh yeah, musical theater is why I'm on this earth to do.' "
She'll always been thankful that member of the Stockton Rotary club noticed that, too.

Specialty Fashion's sales are up for the start of fiscal 2013, but the retailer's chief executive Gary Perlstein says shoppers are too fickle for him to predict improved trading conditions.
Mr Perlstein told the company's annual general meeting on Thursday that trading since July had been encouraging with gross margin improvements and single digit comparable sales growth after a disappointing 2011/12.
Specialty Fashion sales were up only 0.4 per cent for the year to June 30 which in turn resulted in earnings before interest tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $21.7 million and an after tax loss of $2.8 million.
Mr Perlstein said while the sales growth was welcome it was too early to predict a turnaround in consumer confidence.
"Despite these positive signs, we remain cautious with the all important Christmas period still to come," he told shareholders in Sydney.
"We remain of the view that consumers are fickle, and susceptible to becoming more cautious if there are any economic or political shocks that occur in the near term.
"Given the importance of the next two months trade to our business, we are unable to provide guidance of either sales or profit for the first half at this stage."
Chairman Geoff Levy said Specialty Fashion opened 29 stores and closed 27 during 2011/12 and expected to close more during the current financial year.
"We will continue to review our store portfolio with a view to improving performance," he said.
Mr Levy said the company would also be working on reducing the cost of its product by increasing the proportion it sourced directly from factories in Asia.
"Because we work directly with the factories, we have greater negotiating leverage, and improved pricing transparency," he said.
Specialty Fashion shares were up 3.5 cents, or 6.19 per cent, to 60 cents at 1523 AEDT.

Along with my Malbec (the only non-Ontario wine on the menu – I know-I know, it's not that I'm not a fan! I'm saving the Southbrook Cab Merlot for my next visit) I shared two apps and a main with my husband.
We started off with the deliciously cured trout with Brussels sprout leaves, cubed pickled beets, capers and malt vinaigrette. So delicate and yummy.
And the squash galette, held together by a light and flaky crust. The best part of this dish? Slivers of caramelized fennel sprinkled on top.
I didn't get a shot of the main we shared, so sad, I started into the dish way too fast. What about a picture my husband belted out. Crap! I couldn't respond as my mouth was full of lightly battered crispy cod. It took all of me to share the English curry mayo that was served alongside. And the fries, mmmm, cooked to perfection.
I bet I won't last another 5 days before returning, even if only for the bar snacks (pickled egg, spiced chicken livers, beer nuts, cheeses). It's rare a restaurant this new would get me this excited from the get-go. I can only imagine what this place will be like 6 months from now. I love the atmosphere and the service is fantastic. If I could change one thing (and a friend we ran into made the same comment) – dimmer lights, and louder music. Otherwise, we've got the beginning of and long and beautiful friendship!

Kings Peak Climber's Log
shmyers21 - Aug 16, 2007 7:00 pm Date Climbed: Aug 3, 2007Kings Peak 2007
My wife and I were looking forward to climbing this peak all year long. It was a great 3 day backpacking trip. We took the trail the whole way to the top. We were lucky because we made it to the summit for about 15 minutes, then we were caught in a rain shower, with lightning and all. But we made it. Kings peak was Highpoint #2 for us!
mntmanmike - Aug 1, 2007 12:06 am Date Climbed: Jul 22, 20071st highpoint
This is my first state highpoint but will not be the last. Had beautiful weather the entire trip and saw three moose. Did the hike with my 55 year old dad and we had no problems making it to the top. Camped at Grass Lake and surprisingly didnt see another soul except when on the trail.
Tracy - Jul 27, 2007 1:08 pm Date Climbed: Jul 23, 2007climbed from Sawmill Lake via Gunsight Pass (16th state HP)
I climbed this one with my brother Eric (with whom I had unsuccessfully attempted it 22 years earlier from the Timothy Lakes), my brother Guy, my bro-in-law Michael Eschenberg, and 3 of my nephews (Spencer and Matthew Foutz and Zachary Eschenberg). We descended via "the Chute".
paclimber - Jul 19, 2007 6:24 pm Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2007Gunsight / Painter's Basin / Anderson
Scenic climb once above tree line. Trail was relatively crowded for a wilderness area. Many animals present (humans, horses, llamas, sheep). Drizzled on us on occaision. Otherwise, a fun climb. State Highpoint #47.
vanman798 - Jul 16, 2007 4:27 pm Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2013Wow Altitude
August 31, 2013 - Camped in the basin below the "toilet bowl" chute Aug 30, then summited next morning with my brother and nephew. Had hail at the camp spot, but a clear day on the peak.
Sept 4, 2011 - Left Elk Horn crossing at 5:15 am, which allowed me to beat the Labor Day weekend infestation of Kings Peak hikers, as I was the first on Kings that day (arriving at 9:30 am). Sat on top for an hour, and still had it to myself, then I headed over to South Kings, Peak 13,306 (2nd Gemini), and Peak 13,387 (1st Gemini aka "Painter Peak"). Back tracked to the saddle between 2nd Gemini and S. King, and desended into Painters Basin and would never make that mistake again! After 15 hours I was back at Elk Horn Crossing.
July 24 - 27, 2008 I did a solo trip to the Henry's Fork basin during which I climbed five peaks over 13,000 ft in 2 days. King's peak was the fifth of the five. I must admit to having summit fever as I climbed this peak during a classic High Uintas summer afternoon rain and lightening storm. I have never felt static in the air so strong, as it buzzed between my ski poles on my backpack. Near the peak the rain turned to grauple. When I lifted my camera to take a self-portrait the static nearly shocked me, and I thought for sure it had burned out my camera. Needless to say I was very much in fear!
First time was September 2, 2006.
What a beautiful area. I walked to the base of Gunsight pass, and camped next to a lake there. Was up early next day and on my way to the peak, and didn't see anyone else until I got over the pass and into the basin. I was on top before the crowds arrived. Read my trip report.
osatrik - Jul 16, 2007 3:26 pm Date Climbed: Jul 7, 2007Dollar Lake / Gunsight
There are several nice camp sites along the trail between Dollar Lake and the turnoff to Henrys Fork Lake. We stay at one of them rather than among the plentiful sites around the lake -- a short hike to water from the upper reaches of Henrys Fork. Holed up in tent for nearly three hours due to thunderstorms, which were strong the previous day, too. So we started early from Dollar Lake on summit day, alas no rain this day! The scree slope return from Anderson Pass did not look that appealing, so we opted to return via the Gunsight Pass ascent route. I didn't find the scramble from Anderson to the summit nearly as entertaining as some evidently do -- just tedious. About 20 summited this day; we were unable to find a summit register.
Number 43 of my 49 state high points, about #10 for companion Dan L and about #30 for Richard. The approach (and departure) are an endless 6+ miles of barely 200 ft/mile, but the upper Henrys Fork valley is undeniably scenic and the main trail offers numerous nice vantage points well above the valley floor.
Dave K - Jun 20, 2007 3:53 am Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2007Anderson Pass
Very fun and easy climb. We ditched our backpacks at the pass and 45 fun minutes later we were at the top.
LonePeakFreak - May 27, 2007 11:11 pm Date Climbed: May 25, 2007Great Mountain
Really enjoyed this mountain. Lots of water, mud, and snow in the basin this time of year. Incredible views from the summit and a nice glissade down the chute from Anderson Pass. Long trail but well worth the effort.

Any thoughts of solitude were ruined by a huge group of boyscouts but still pretty nice. Overall, however, I was a bit disappointed with the Uintas in comparison to other western ranges

Beautiful region, saw several moose at the trailhead, and was extremely hungry when I made it back to the road
Outdoorpartner - Oct 5, 2006 6:00 am Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2004Lightening is bad!
Got to the ridge, then a lightening strike flashed so close my jacket heated up. Made a hasty retreat, then ended up backpacking out in 2 days of snow.

Hikes with a great bunch of guys, stayed at Dollar Lake, perfect weather on summit day.

Wow. Spent a few days at Dollar Lake. Hardly any one here, passed them on the way down.
The ascent was a rocky scramble, but the views, and bragging rights of standing on top of Utah are worth it.
Curt - Sep 7, 2006 7:52 pm Date Climbed: Sep 1, 2006Via Henry's Fork
We fished our way up and down the Henry's Fork on our way in and out, which made for a fun, leisurely hike. We camped near Dollar Lake. We took the shortcut from the top of Gunsight Pass, leapfrogging several parties. The view from the summit was beautiful, and we enjoyed great weather for the duration of the trip. I was shocked at the amount of traffic in the area, but I guess I shouldn't have been, considering the ease of access and Labor Day weekend.

#1 9-17-04 w/ Ben #2 8-29-06 w/ Kimball #3 3-29-08 Third time at the summit but the first in winter conditions. See the write-up by Zeejay for details. It was one of the hardest, most grueling things I have ever done, including Aconcagua. But was it worth it? You betcha! Zeejay was the last one out of camp in the a.m. but I was the last one BACK into camp, a rather dubious distinction I might say. But I did make it back, thanks to Steve Swanson. I do not recommend doing this trip if you have only one hour of practice on cross-country skis! :) #4 8-15-13 W/ Brent; first peak of the Northern 4(5)! #5 7-25-16 With Signe; first peak of the Kings-Emmons Ridge hike Return to camp by descending the north ridge of Mt. Emmons and trail-blazing on the west side of Atwood Basin to Trail Rider Pass and then to Gunsight, etc.

Started from Henrys Fork Campground where I met Dean Molen and Dennis Poulin who had just finished all of the Utah County highpoints. Hiked with my son Ryan and 5 other motley HPers Roy, Bill, Rick, Jack, and Merle to Dollar Lake and camped overnite. Started before sunrise and hiked through Gunsight Pass up the shortcut across Anderson Pass and then to the summit. Had perfect weather for the hike. Took the shortcut down the "toilet bowl" on the way back which saved us about 2 hours. Very rocky scree and not very good footing. Camped at Dollar Lake one more night and then hiked out and had lunch at Sills Cafe in Mountain View, WY. It was a great group of guys to hike with and a beautiful climb. Headed to Panorama Point, Nebraska after lunch. HP #18.

Hiked in the evening of day 1 to dollar lake without any difficulty and camped there. Took the gunsite shortcut (recommended). There's a lot of scrambling to get up to the top from Anderson pass. Don't carry a big pack to the summit. The hike out seemed to go on forever through a fairly non-descript forest in the dark.

This was a nice hike with a good friend. Nothing technical, just lots of rock hopping.

Dessert Crepes Recipes
Crepe Day (La Chandeleur)
Bonjour! Today (February 2nd) is a popular French celebration called La Chandeleur (also known as the Christian holiday, Candlemas). On this day in France, we eat crêpes--a lot of crêpes. And there's nothing easier than preparing the flat "pastries" appreciated by foodies all over the world. I've attached the video on "How to Make Perfect French Crêpes" so you can see how simple the preparation is.
I've gathered many recipes using crêpes; what a great way to kick off the week!

Crepe Party
Today (February 2nd) is a popular French celebration called La Chandeleur (also known as Christian holiday Candlemas). How do you celebrate it, you ask? You eat crêpes, ton of crêpes.
I prepared 3 large batches of crêpe batter (click the link for the recipe) last night and let the girls toss so they can prepare their own version by laying down multiple filling options on the kitchen counter. Sprinkling crêpes with sugar can be sufficient but is not at all necessary; the possibilities are truly endless. I've gathered a few ideas for you to try. Bon appétit!

Banana and Fig Crepe Cake Recipe
Since I'm in Paris, I've been spoiling my little 2-year-old nephew Paul and 4-year-old niece Elise with sweets. It's a great way to bond with them in a short period of time. Crêpes are always fun, so I made a pile for all of us to share, along with various jams, Nutella, honey and powdered sugar. In addition to the individual crêpes, I made mini crêpe cakes, filled with fig and banana jam. To repeat the flavors in the dessert, I topped the cake with freeze-dried banana chips and roasted figs.
The most fun part of the assembly was watching Elise and Paul eating the crêpes as I was making them. Lucky me, I still had enough crêpe batter to finish the dessert. I absolutely adore them!

To bash or not to bash banks?
It's been a hotly debated issue that probably won't be definitively resolved any time soon.
For some credit unions, the decision to take a swipe at banks has been a no brainer. For many, the strategy of highlighting and riding the wave of negative national bank coverage has been viewed as a way to get consumers to finally make a switch and drum up some much needed loan business.
Last June, the $1.3 billion TruMark Financial Credit Union in Trevose, Pa. launched an edgy awareness campaign that poked a few strategic jabs at big banks. It honed in on consumers' rising discontent with big banks at the time, in particular with the higher fees, what it saw as excessive bank executive compensation, closed credit card lines and rising credit card rates.
Locally, with the Wells Fargo-Wachovia merger slated to be finalized by November 2010, the timing couldn't have been better for the credit union.
"Months of research went into this and at that time, we thought what an opportunity to sway those disgruntled bank customers to open an account with us," said Natalie Carlson, vice president of marketing at TruMark Financial. "Overall, we wanted an emotionally charged, more aggressive approach for the campaign and we tapped two great agencies that really brought it to life."
The multimedia blitz included search engine banner ads, television and radio spots, billboards, ads on Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority buses and a microsite, www.trumark.com, designed to help consumers find a local branch and provided links to the latest local and national news articles and videos that talk up why credit unions are better. The site also included a "How Banks Betray Consumer Trust" section that featured the television spots.
According to Randi Marmer, assistant vice president community relations, the entire campaign was created to reinforce the benefits of switching to TruMark Financial: no hidden fees, competitive rates, and "superior service." Three television commercials, which have since won some 15 marketing awards, touted TruMark Financial as the trusted source for consumers' financial needs. They played on consumers' sore spots by depicting the lifestyle enjoyed by big banks' leadership at their customers' expense. While each message was unique, the underlying thene was the same: "At TruMark Financial it's about you. Your family. Your money. No bailouts. No greed. No hassles."
"The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and as far as building awareness, it was a success," Carlson said.
Going into the campaign, the credit union had conducted pretest research that showed 16% of Philadelphia consumers knew about the financial institution, Carlson recalled. After the campaign, that percentage grew to 48% and a vast majority of the new members acquired during that time are still active, she noted.
"The commercials had people talking and what we found interesting is that all of a sudden there was a greater recognition. People who'd seen our signs before, were now more aware and making that connection with the commercials," Carlson said.
With a focus, like many credit unions are doing, on loans now, the popular commercials are no longer aired and marketing initiatives will highlight TruMark Financial's rates and quick loan turnaround.
"With those commercials, I'm not sure that message is as relevant for us, at least today," Carlson acknowledged. "It's all about loans, loans, loans so in addition to traditional marketing channels we'll be aggressively using social media as a delivery channel to reach over 2,500 current followers. We're also working on development of a new website and more community focused efforts."
One of those upcoming events is Kiss the Pig for Financial Literacy fundraiser, which is designed to support inner-city schools lacking the resources needed to teach students responsible personal finance. The credit union has partnered with The Philadelphia Foundation for the fundraiser where 17 business and community leaders, professionals, and teachers will compete for the privilege to kiss an actual pig.
"With a huge deficit in the overall state budget, Pennsylvania's education funding has been slashed and this event will allow Philadelphia schools to provide students with the tools needed to make informed choices about how to save, spend, borrow, or invest money," Marner said. "Without these programs, students may be left behind and become another statistic plagued with debt. We're happy to help."
You won't find any bank bashing at Summit Credit Union. Incorporating an element of emphasizing the positive has been the approach at the $1.6 billion Madison, Wis.-based credit union.
Amid the flurry of antibank campaigns in 2009, Summit CU took a different route and launched two initiatives: Pay it Forward and Project Money. Just last year it added a third initiative: the Do More team. Created as a way to further reinforce the brand position that Summit is about building relationships not selling products, the initiatives have also served as a way for members to experience the credit union's values first hand.
"It's important to us that we connect with members, communities and that we do things that make our members feel good about themselves, their community and Summit," said Rebecca Gerothanas, senior vice president marketing/operations. "These programs do a good job of helping us connect with members and each other while delivering the positive message of offering encouragement to take action or be involved."
According to Gerothanas, the idea for Pay It Forward came from a desire to plant some seeds of hope.
"We're in our third year now, but that first year, it was at the beginning of the recession and there was a lot of fear," Gerothanas said. "So we wanted to show the positive — that every individual can make a difference and it could even be done with $10."
That idea of helping others to make a real change was also an underlying factor in Project Money.
"It's been so successful and the credit goes to the people who are a part of it. The goal was to show a realistic path to improve finances. Rather than just tell people what should be done they can see how it's done," Gerothanas said. "We're so lucky because the participants are the ones who make it real, and relatable, as they open their financial lives. As they make financial choices in real life situations, people that follow along are able to make connections to their own lives, so it benefits the greater community as well as the participants competing for the $10,000 prize."
The Do More team was a way to showcase the credit union's fun and unconventional personality by engaging in unexpected random acts with the simple goal of putting smiles on faces, Gerothanas explained. The team consists of some 20 Summit staffers who take turns planning, implementing and taping spontaneous events that have ranged from installing a Money Tree and handing out flowers to people at a local farmers market, to renting bicycles on the hottest day of the year, to delivering ice cream to people in downtown Madison.
"We just have a lot of fun with it and the intent, besides of course delighting people, is to have a meaningful impact on someone's day," Gerothanas said. "Our biggest challenge with these initiatives is really just keeping it fresh. I don't think this is something that could just stand on its own and that's why it's just a complement to our overall marketing strategy. What it does, is show people, who we are, what we do and gives them a reason to feel good about choosing Summit beyond the strong value they get as members."
She added that living its culture has been a vital part of why the initiatives have been embraced. It's a small part of a bigger picture that has been consistent across all platforms including a recently revamped website that emphasizes social networking and the feature sections titled "Life," "Community" and "Money." In addition, a "Groups" section allows people to join with others sharing the same interests.
"It's been something that's born out of our culture and that's why it's resonating," Gerothanas said. "It's hard to say, because it is a complement to our other marketing efforts, if the initiatives solely helped with loan growth. We've had strong member growth in the past few years, strong financial performance, strong net promoter scores, but we also tell our story in other ways so it's been just one of many factors in building membership."

The demand for organic food is rising in Canada. Almost all the Canadian families are shifting their food choices from conventional food to organic food. So the organic food delicacies are making the people opt for it only as they are not beneficial to their health only rather they are equally beneficial to an environment as well. The plebeians these days are more calorie conscious and love to consume the food that will help them in staying fit without adding any extra kilos to their body weight.
Talking about the demand for organic grass fed beef in Toronto,Ontario,Canada. It is growing rapidly and people of all the ages are getting aware of its benefits. But raising the grass-fed beef can be advantageous and disadvantageous both if you are planning to do so. Likewise, every coin has two sides same raising your own grass-fed beef have both positive and negative aspects. Let's throw light on both the impacts to have a better understanding if you are planning or raising the cattle's on your own.
Taste- No other food item can beat the taste of organic beef products. The products are stored in a way which is full of juices, nutrients, and minerals. The demand is hiking so the supply of organic grass fed beef in Canada is to be hiked. It is really a good option for you and your family to raise the cattle that can be sold in the market with a delicious taste. All it can be possible if their raising will be done in a perfect way.
Price- If we talk about the cost of raising the grass fed beef it is really very low as no pesticides and chemicals are to be used. So you don't have to spend extra bucks on these things. You can raise the cattle on your own, cut the different pieces according to the market demand and can pack on your own.
Piece of Mind- Whatever work you do you must do with a good piece of mind or we can say6 with satisfaction. If you are running a cattle raising business to provide the people with good quality beef and which is suitable for your kids to consume. You will have a different level of satisfaction as you know that you are providing the buyer with the best.
Spacing- Spacing is the first negative aspect of raising your own cattle. As compared to chickens, cows required more space for their upbringing. They need more space to roam freely and grow in an open environment. The grass-fed beef is raised in a humanly way. Even the climatic conditions also play a vital role in cow's growth.
Feeding Cost- If we talk about the feeding cost, weather plays a vital role in this. The different season has different expenditures. Sometimes it's too much than expected.
Care- Every animal requires care but they don't require too much care but yes a regular food and water is what for which they seek attention and care.
Fencing- This is another spending as fencing at an initial stage can be done by your own but at a later stage the cattle can be bit notorious and would try to go out of fencing so you need to have good fencing where your cows will roam.

Story highlights
- Three ship officers must remain to face weapons smuggling charges
- Panama stopped the ship last July and said undeclared weaponry was aboard
- The Cuban government says they are "obsolete" weapons
The North Korean cargo ship seized last July by Panamanian authorities for carrying an illegal arms shipment departed Panamanian waters Saturday, Panama's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The North Korean-flagged vessel Chong Chon Gang headed toward Cuba after the International Red Cross determined the 32 sailors aboard were fit to travel, the ministry said.
The ship's captain, first officer and political secretary remain in Panama to face weapons smuggling charges, the ministry said.
Panama stopped the ship in July, and authorities said they found undeclared weaponry from Cuba -- including MiG fighter jets, anti-aircraft systems and explosives -- buried under thousands of bags of sugar.
The Cuban government said the shipment consisted of "obsolete" weapons being sent to North Korea for repairs before they were to be returned to Cuba. But Panama said it violated United Nations arms sanctions on North Korea.
Because it is pursuing nuclear weapons, North Korea is banned by the United Nations from importing and exporting most weapons.
North Korea paid a fine of nearly $700,000 for violating regulations for navigation in canal waters, according to the Panama Canal Authority.

This new version of the Camera Raw plug-in replaces the original Camera Raw plug-in that was installed with Adobe Creative Suite 4, Photoshop CS4, Photoshop Elements 6.0 or 7, and Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 or 7.
To install with Adobe Photoshop Elements:
NOTE: You must follow all of the new instructions in order to successfully install the Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop Elements.
1. Exit Photoshop Elements.
2. Open the download file, double-click CameraProfiles.exe, and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Open My Computer.
4. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
5. Navigate to the location designated by your version of Photoshop Elements: (Please read the directory carefully)
a. Photoshop Elements 6.0: Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
b. Photoshop Elements 7.0: Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
6. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
7. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into the same folder as Step 5.
8. Launch Photoshop Elements.
In this release of Camera Raw and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom®, there is an important exception in our DNG file handling for the Panasonic DMC LX3, Panasonic DMC FX150, Panasonic DMC FZ28, Panasonic DMC-G1, and Leica D-LUX 4. In this release the native, proprietary files from these cameras can be converted only to linear DNG files. A linear DNG file has gone through a demosaic process that converts a single mosaic layer of red, green, and blue channel information into three distinct layers, one for each channel. The resulting linear DNG file is approximately three times the size of a mosaic DNG file or the original proprietary file format.
This exception is a temporary solution to ensure that Panasonic and Leica's intended image rendering from their proprietary raw file format is applied to an image when converted DNG files are viewed in third-party software titles. The same image rendering process is applied automatically in Camera Raw 5.3 and Lightroom 2.3 when viewing the original proprietary raw file format.
In a future release, Adobe plans to update the DNG specification to include an option to embed metadata-based representations of the lens compensations in the DNG file, allowing a mosaic DNG conversion. In the interim, Adobe recommends converting these files to DNG only to allow compatibility with third-party raw converters, previous versions of the Camera Raw plug-in, or previous versions of Lightroom.

Apollo's Banquet, a New York City-based Baroque dance and music ensemble, will perform at Hope College on Saturday, Nov. 3, at 7:30 p.m. in Snow Auditorium of Nykerk Hall of Music.
Apollo's Banquet, a New York City-based Baroque dance and music ensemble, will perform at Hope College on Saturday, Nov. 3, at 7:30 p.m. in Snow Auditorium of Nykerk Hall of Music.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Dancers Paige Whitley-Bauguess and Thomas Baird, along with pianist/harpsichordist Hugh Murphy, will present "Dances of the French Baroque Theatre." Costumed in period dress, the dancers will showcase various characters from 18th-century opera such as shepherds, shepherdesses, and Spaniards, as well as noble mythological figures such as Apollo the sun god and the sorceress, Armide. All of the dances being presented on the program have survived in 18th-century-style notation, and have been reconstructed using period sources.
Of the production, Jack Anderson of the "New York Times" wrote, "Apollo's Banquet can provide a feast!"
The performance on Saturday, Nov. 3, will culminate the company's Oct. 31-Nov. 3 residency at the college.
Founded in 1995 by Baird and Murphy, Apollo's Banquet is an ensemble of dancers and musicians that presents 18th century choreographic master works in concert. The ensemble takes its name from a series of music editions containing French and English dance music published in England in the 17th and 18th centuries. The company is dedicated to presenting dances that survive in 18th-century notation with the music to which they were originally choreographed in performances that are historically informed, but live for an audience of today.
Nykerk Hall of Music is located in the central Hope College campus along the former 12th Street between College and Columbia avenues.

Four friends have a favorite TV show currently running its fifth season. Oddly enough, while the four are close friends, their interest in TV shows is very different so none of the friends share a common interest in TV shows. In fact, each favorite show even airs on a different channel at a different time. Determine the name of each friend, the title of their favorite TV show, and the day of the week and time that the show airs.
1. The person who enjoyed the TV show, FBI, doesn't watch it on Sunday night. The TV show, Explorer, aired at 7 pm, but it wasn't Mike's favorite show.
2. Family Tides wasn't Al's favorite TV show.
3. Roger's favorite TV show aired at 10 pm, but not on Wednesday night.
4. The TV show that aired on Tuesday night is The Z-Files.
5. Mike doesn't watch a TV show at 9 pm. Gary doesn't watch TV on Sunday night.
6. The TV show, Family Tides, aired an hour after the show that Gary liked but an hour before the show that aired on Monday night.

Lopez Receives NM Public Service Award, April 28, 2000
SOCORRO, N.M. April 24, 2000 -- Daniel H. López, president of New Mexico Tech, has been named one of this year's 12 recipients of the notable 31st Annual New Mexico Distinguished Public Service Awards.
López and 11 other New Mexicans were lauded at a recent Roundhouse ceremony at the state capitol by Governor Gary Johnson for ". . . the work you have all done for New Mexico . . . and for making a difference in the quality of life in this state."
Each year, the Governor and the board of the New Mexico Distinguished Public Service Awards select several award winners in recognition of their outstanding contributions to public service in their respective communities.
Recipients of this year's awards also will be honored at a formal banquet on May 12 at the Crowne Plaza Pyramid Hotel in Albuquerque.
In particular, López was cited for his award in recognition of having provided more than a quarter century of public service and was most recently credited with "dramatically improving faculty, staff, and student relationships at New Mexico Tech."
López, a native of Puerto de Luna, a village near Santa Rosa, has served as president of state-supported research university since 1993.

PICTURE PERFECT / Chronicle photographer honored for sensitive work on 'Lion Heart' series
Chronicle photographer Deanne Fitzmaurice won the Pulitzer Prize in feature photography Monday for her photo essay last year portraying the efforts by doctors to mend the wounds of a 9-year-old Iraqi boy who was nearly killed by an explosion, and the boy's courageous struggle to rise above his injuries.
Fitzmaurice's pictures ran with five stories reported by Chronicle staff writer Meredith May, headlined "Operation Lion Heart" after the nickname that doctors gave the boy, Saleh Khalaf, for his bravery.
"Can you believe this?" a beaming Fitzmaurice, 47, said as the award announcement rolled over the newsroom's wire service and The Chronicle news staff burst into cheers.
The prize, the most prestigious in American journalism, comes with a $10, 000 check.
Fitzmaurice has worked at The Chronicle for 16 years. Hers is the first Pulitzer won by The Chronicle since 1996, when Herb Caen, who died the next year, won a special Pulitzer award for his career as a columnist.
Fitzmaurice and May first began reporting on Saleh and his family on Nov. 10, 2003, within hours of the boy's arrival with his father, Raheem, at Children's Hospital Oakland for treatment of his injuries. Over the next 11 months, they followed the family's plight in every way, documenting the key points of Saleh's recovery, traveling to the Middle East to accompany his relatives as they journeyed to join Saleh, and then recording the family's tearful reunion in America.
Fitzmaurice's images -- described as a "sensitive photo essay" by the Pulitzer judges -- offered an unflinching view into the anger, grief and courage of the boy's family, taking the reader from intimate and painful portrayals of Saleh's injuries to the family's joy at each success in his treatment.
"It really required a unique combination of sensitivity and courage for Deanne and Meredith to capture so beautifully and evocatively the story of Saleh," said Chronicle Editor Phil Bronstein.
Also winning Pulitzers on Monday were Sacramento Bee writer Tom Philp, for his editorials about restoration of Hetch Hetchy Valley, and the Associated Press for breaking news photography of combat inside Iraqi cities.
The Los Angeles Times won two Pulitzers, the public service gold medal for exposing racism and deadly medical troubles at a public hospital, and an international reporting prize for coverage of Russia. The Wall Street Journal also won two Pulitzers, one in beat reporting for stories about cancer survivors and the other in criticism for film reviews. And the tiny Willamette Week of Portland, Ore., grabbed the investigative reporting prize for exposing an ex-governor's sexual misconduct.
Fitzmaurice said she could never have completed the story without the help of her editors on the project and, especially, Saleh's family.
"This project was just unbelievable," Fitzmaurice said. "It was more in depth than anything else I've done, and a lot of the reason for that was just the way Saleh was. He was so courageous, and he let us so into their lives."
As her beaming colleagues crowded around her at the newsroom photo editing desk and champagne corks popped, the grinning photographer proclaimed: "This is not just for me; this is a Pulitzer for the entire Chronicle."
That Fitzmaurice could gain the trust of a boy who was traumatized by the loss of an eye, one hand and his brother to a roadside bomb near his home in Iraq was no surprise to Chronicle staffers who have long appreciated her sensitive ability to connect with those she photographs by truly caring about them. Throughout the years as she documented everything from the private life of former Giants manager Dusty Baker to the inside of brothels in Nevada, she has always treated people as fellow human beings with feelings instead of mere subjects -- all the while capturing images with an uncommonly precise and artful eye.
"We were in the family's life for a year, and she always put her humanity first," said May. "I think she fell in love with that little boy, and put him first before any photography. And it showed in the photographs."
Fitzmaurice said Saleh's buoyant spirit helped drive her along in her project, even when his sadness and pain seemed nearly unbearable.
"Saleh could always laugh, even though he only spoke Arabic at first," she said. "We bonded through the photography. I'd shoot pictures, then show him some on the back of the camera, and he'd get so excited."
Fitzmaurice's husband, Kurt Rogers -- also a photographer at The Chronicle -- joked that he had a good feeling about his wife's chances Monday after shooting a picture of her Sunday in their backyard in Marin County. In the photo, Fitzmaurice is smiling beneath the only double rainbow the couple had ever seen at their home.
Fitzmaurice's award was the sixth Pulitzer won at The Chronicle, beginning with the 1934 Pulitzer for reporting awarded to staff writer Royce Brier for his coverage of a lynching in San Jose.
She now becomes the third photographer on The Chronicle's staff who has won a Pulitzer. The others are Kim Komenich, who won in 1987 while working at the San Francisco Examiner for his coverage of the fall of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, and Michael Macor, who was on the Oakland Tribune team that won in 1990 for coverage of the Loma Prieta earthquake.
Also nominated in the feature photography category with Fitzmaurice this year were Jim Gehrz of the Star Tribune in Minneapolis-St. Paul, for his portrait of a female soldier's recovery from battle wounds, and Luis Sinco of the Los Angeles Times for his photo of a weary U.S. Marine's face after a day of fighting, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

My Rode Rockumentary entry, part 2
This part will focus on post production, usual step for any kind of video work you would like to present to your audience.
The very first bit of the whole chain is to have all your clips matched in terms of luminance. In the IRE scale the blackest point has to be set to 0, while the whitest to 100.
This way you know that anything below 0 will be totally black and anything above 100 will be pure white; both 0 and 100 are the threshold to get any detail in your picture. You have to do this work for all the cuts in your final editing, plus balancing out the RGB channels. It's quite a tedious work, but once it's done, you'll know that the whole piece will be like one.
The next step would be to fix any issues, like under or over exposed areas of your footage… hopefully you will not have to deal with it, but chances are that it might happen if you are shooting solo or on a very small production. Especially doing exteriors, it's difficult to control the action and the tech part as well. Never mind if you are shooting manual as well, we film-makers mostly do.
