Living for Life
Some days I just have to stop and ponder: Where are we going as a nation? What future are we leaving our children? As you might imagine, if we continue on the path we are on as a society, our future is not all that bright. And our children's future looks even bleaker.
The Bible tells us that children are an inheritance from God (Psalm 127:3). Yet America is like the prodigal son. We have taken the inheritance of our unborn children and have gone to a far city. We have wasted that inheritance in riotous living, and now we are reduced to feeding among the swine for the husks of life.
The infamous Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, the scandalous crown jewel of a climate of hedonism and self-absorption that took root in the 1960s, unleashed a torrent of legalized killing in our nation. An estimated 47.6 million Americans, approximately one-sixth of the population of the United States, have been aborted since that fateful decision.
That is an incredible number of innocent lives lost. It is symptomatic of the noxious moral poison that has been let loose, polluting our culture, debasing and devaluing individual human life, and cauterizing our conscience to the value of every single human life.
The callous disregard for human life is reflected even in the films and television programs that pass for entertainment and certainly in how we treat one another in society, perhaps even to the increase in discourteous driving habits.
It was not always this way. Human life once was valued richly. The early Jewish faith bore an uncompromising witness against abortion, and so did the Christian faith from which it sprang.
There is a compelling reason why among all the people groups in the Mediterranean basin, the Jews were the only civilization that did not practice abortion as a routine matter, and, indeed, did not practice infanticide, the killing of already born children, as a perfectly accepted social practice.
King David wrote,
"For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them" (Psalm 139:13-16).
"Covered me" literally means "knitted me together." "Curiously wrought" literally means "embroidered." God knitted us together and embroidered us in our mother's womb.
Every time I read that passage, I think about one of my earliest memories from childhood—watching my mother sit in a rocking chair and embroider. It was a constant source of amazement for me that she could take that tangled mess of thread, in many different colors, and carefully pull them out one by one and embroider a beautiful design. And for each design, she had a different pattern to follow.
God embroiders and knits us together while we are still in our mother's womb, and he has a different pattern for each one of us. God is involved every time that conception takes place, and He has all of our parts written in His Book before any of them are formed.
Yet these are Truths our culture appears to have forsaken.
Apart from a spiritual awakening shaking our churches and reviving the people of God, our nation's psyche will not be healed. Bible-believing Christians cannot simply keep their faith to themselves, hidden under a box, so to speak. We must allow it to season and enlighten our culture (Matthew 5:13-16). To a large degree, God has placed our society's very existence and its future vitality in our hands.
My hope and my prayer is that we will one day soon wrestle to the ground and put away the culture of death that grips our nation. Not only for our sake should we be compelled to act, but for the sake and safety of generations to come.

Sprint and Verizon already have it in Charlotte. So does T-Mobile (though some debate it). Now AT&T says it, too, is bringing fourth-generation (4G) cellphone service to its Queen City customers. The company, now trying to merge with T-Mobile, sent out a press release this morning saying it would have Mayor Anthony Foxx joining AT&T and Charlotte Center City Partners folks at a 10:30 a.m. press conference at Marshall Park on Friday.
According to AT&T, the announcement will include "key network improvements planned for this year" in Charlotte, including "a focus on faster data speeds and extra mobile broadband capacity at key venues." They plan to have the new Motorola Atrix and HTC Inspire 4G phones on hand to demonstrate.
I guess with Verizon finally grabbing a share of the white-hot iPhone market this year and just now rolling out its first 4G phone, the HTC Thunderbolt, AT&T would be crazy to sit still.

It's not real 4G either, it's HSPA+ the same 4G strategy as T-Mobile. AT&T launched the Atrix with major problems, the upload side of HSPA+ is disable and won't be fixed until later this month. Users were getting dial up speed for uploads.

We'll see. "4G" seems to be more of a marketing term than any technical spec, these days. I thought AT&T already had deployed a lot of HSPA+ and was getting ready to put LTE in place over the next couple of years. LTE peaks out pretty close to what the standards folk consider to be "real" 4G, I think.
YMMV by location, but in many places AT&T's 3G is somewhat faster than what some other companies call 3G. When I have run speed tests of AT&T 3G on my iPhone in my part of Mecklenburg, I get around 2 Mbps down and 256k up, which compares favorably with a lot of wired DSL in people's homes. "Real" 4G is supposed to be about 50 times as fast.
Whatever they are doing will be an improvement in capacity for those of us who will be sticking with 3G for a while, it sounds like.

4G, by definition, is +100Mbps as defined by the ITU. However, they recently caved to marketing pressure to mean whatever a company wants.
And while we're here, ya'll hear about AT&T, Time Warner and CenturyLink's new law that recently passed the House banning new community broadband installations?

AT&T's HSPA+ is already capable of the 4G speed claims of Sprint and T-Mobile. However, LTE will be a entirely new and improved network. Until device makers have perfected the LTE technology and drastically improved the battery life, 4G is irrelevant. It'll be another year before LTE is stable and reliable enough to really matter.

LTE on Verizon HTC Thunderbolt is a battery drainer b/c LTE is used conjunction with CDMA for voice service. VZW isn't ready yet for VoLTE, if LTE is the only sole radio turned on the Thunderbolt, battery life would be fine. It's like turning off your Bluetooth to save battery life.

AT&T has rolled out a few things in Charlotte as a test market. The 3G has definitley gotten better since I got my iPhone in June 2009.
But I've never been able to connect to their big wifi patch near the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
The Movie:
Here's another wartime drama with an air of sophistication (think Watch on the Rhine or Mrs. Miniver) - Fox's 1943 production The Moon Is Down is based on John Steinbeck's popular World War II novel of ordinary Norwegian villagers fighting back a ruthless invading army. The stirring propaganda flick has become part of Fox's Cinema Archives program of made-to-order DVD editions of otherwise hard to find titles from their vintage film library.
Steinbeck's novel deals with a tight-knit community responding to the terror of an invading army. While the book never specifically mentions fascism or the Nazis, Fox's film does, repeatedly - destroying any sense of nuance or subtlety in the process (it's entertaining in its own hamfisted way, though). The tone is set by an introductory shot of a map of Norway on a desktop, a (dying?) man's clutched hand pounding the surface. On a set recycled from the massive hillside mining town built for How Green Was My Valley, our story opens with Nazi troops engaging a surprise attack on the town in order to take over the mine for their own purposes. The troops' devious leader, Colonel Lanser (Cedric Hardwicke), installs a base of operations in the home of Mayor Oden (Henry Travers). The takeover is put in motion with the help of subordinates and a local Nazi sympathizer, George Correll (E. J. Ballantine). As they set up a master-servant oligarchy, tensions between the villagers and the Nazis escalate and turn murderous. Despite the reasoned negotiations of Orden and the town doctor (Lee J. Cobb), Lanser stages public executions of the more unruly locals as a way of frightening them into submission. With miners working punishing shifts and their wives dealing with dwindling wintertime supplies and harassment from the Nazi officers, the situation looks dire - until potential salvation comes via a parachuted supply of dynamite.
Despite its heavy-handedness, The Moon Is Down benefits from some fine performances. Cedric Hardwicke makes for a good, nasty Nazi officer, while Henry Travers embodies the villagers' quiet dignity and resilience as the mayor (although it's impossible to think of Travers as anything other than Clarence the angel in It's a Wonderful Life). There's also a remarkably candid, tough scene with actress Dorris Bowdon as the widow of one of the slain Norwegian soldiers. Bowdon's character, Molly Morden, is visited in her home by Lieutenant Tonder (Peter van Eyck), a Nazi officer desperate for normalcy. While Tonder yearns for simple talk and company, the disgusted Mrs. Morden sees the officer as a rapist and cynically calls him on his intentions. Bowden (who was married to the film's screenwriter, Nunnally Johnson) delivers an intense monologue here, in what was ultimately her final film (van Eyck is good, too). Aside from that scene, however, the film is a business-as-usual treatment of a story played out in countless inspirational World War II dramas.
There's another reason for The Moon Is Down's vague familiarity. One of its box office competitors was Edge of Darkness, starring Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan as two residents of a Norwegian fishing town staging a tense battle with invading Nazis. Since that film was released just a month after The Moon Is Down, this may have been a case of competing studios (Fox and Warner Bros.) trying to outdo each other with similar projects. Although Moon can lay claim to being first, the polished excitement of Edge of Darkness (which came out on DVD as part of a Flynn box set in 2010) makes it a far more memorable picture.
The DVD:
The picture quality is a little more raggedy than the other vintage '40s Fox Cinema Archives release I've reviewed (Golden Hoofs, 1941). Nothing too drastic, but there are the continuous dirt flecks, and even a few splices to deal with. The picture balance is decent if a little too murky at times.
Just the film's original mono soundtrack here, which is in decent shape but subject to frequent distortion, pops and static. No subtitles.
None. As with other Fox Cinema Archive discs, chapter stops are inserted every ten minutes in the film.
Final Thoughts:
Nail-biter The Moon Is Down takes moviegoers into a John Steinbeck-conceived scenario dramatizing bullying yet tactless Nazis invading a humble Norwegian mining village. While it contains good performances from Cedric Hardwicke, Henry Travers and the obscure Dorris Bowdon, the film on the whole is as routine and un-subtle as wartime propaganda gets. Fox's m.o.d. disc edition is typical of their output. Rent It.

Wprowadzenie do Zend Framework
Nauka Zend Framework
Przewodnik po Zend Framework
Because providers and manifests may come from anywhere in the include_path, a registry is provided to simplify access to the various pieces of the toolchain. This registry is injected into registry-aware components, which may then pull dependencies from them as necessary. Most dependencies registered with the registry will be sub-component-specific repositories.
The interface for the registry consists of the following definition:
interface Zend_Tool_Framework_Registry_Interface
public function setClient(Zend_Tool_Framework_Client_Abstract $client);
public function getClient();
public function setLoader(Zend_Tool_Framework_Loader_Abstract $loader);
public function getLoader();
public function setActionRepository(
Zend_Tool_Framework_Action_Repository $actionRepository
public function getActionRepository();
public function setProviderRepository(
Zend_Tool_Framework_Provider_Repository $providerRepository
public function getProviderRepository();
public function setManifestRepository(
Zend_Tool_Framework_Manifest_Repository $manifestRepository
public function getManifestRepository();
public function setRequest(Zend_Tool_Framework_Client_Request $request);
public function getRequest();
public function setResponse(Zend_Tool_Framework_Client_Response $response);
public function getResponse();
The various objects the registry manages will be discussed in their appropriate sections.
Classes that should be registry-aware should implement
Zend_Tool_Framework_Registry_EnabledInterface. This
interface merely allows initialization of the registry in the target
interface Zend_Tool_Framework_Registry_EnabledInterface
public function setRegistry(
Zend_Tool_Framework_Registry_Interface $registry
Zend_Tool_Framework_Provider represents the functional
or "capability" aspect of the framework. Fundamentally,
Zend_Tool_Framework_Provider will provide the
interfaces necessary to produce "providers", or bits of tooling
functionality that can be called and used inside the
Zend_Tool_Framework toolchain. The simplistic nature of
implementing this provider interface allows the developer a
"one-stop-shop" of adding functionality or capabilities to
The provider interface is an empty interface and enforces no methods (this is the Marker Interface pattern):
interface Zend_Tool_Framework_Provider_Interface
Or, if you wish, you can implement the base (or abstract) Provider
which will give you access to the
abstract class Zend_Tool_Framework_Provider_Abstract
implements Zend_Tool_Framework_Provider_Interface,
protected $_registry;
public function setRegistry(
Zend_Tool_Framework_Registry_Interface $registry
The purpose of a Loader is to find Providers and Manifest files that
contain classes which implement either
Zend_Tool_Framework_Provider_Interface or
Zend_Tool_Framework_Manifest_Interface. Once these files are
found by a loader, providers are loaded into the Provider Repository and
manifest metadata is loaded into the Manifest Repository.
To implement a loader, one must extend the following abstract class:
abstract class Zend_Tool_Framework_Loader_Abstract
abstract protected function _getFiles();
public function load()
/** ... */
_getFiles() method should return an array of files
(absolute paths). The built-in loader supplied with Zend Framework is called the
IncludePath loader. By default, the Tooling framework will use an
include_path based loader to find files that might include Providers
or Manifest Metadata objects.
Zend_Tool_Framework_Loader_IncludePathLoader, without
any other options, will search for files inside the include path
that end in
Tool.php or
Provider.php. Once found, they will be tested (by the
load() method of the
Zend_Tool_Framework_Loader_Abstract) to determine if
they implement any of the supported interfaces. If they do, an
instance of the found class is instantiated, and it is appended to
the proper repository.
class Zend_Tool_Framework_Loader_IncludePathLoader
extends Zend_Tool_Framework_Loader_Abstract
protected $_filterDenyDirectoryPattern = '.*(/|\\\\).svn';
protected $_filterAcceptFilePattern = '.*(?:Manifest|Provider)\.php$';
protected function _getFiles()
/** ... */
As you can see, the IncludePath loader will search all include_paths
for the files that match the
and not match the
In short, the Manifest shall contain specific or arbitrary metadata that is useful to any provider or client, as well as be responsible for loading any additional providers into the provider repository.
To introduce metadata into the manifest repository, all one must do
is implement the empty
and provide a
getMetadata() method which shall return an array
of objects that implement
interface Zend_Tool_Framework_Manifest_Interface
public function getMetadata();
Metadata objects are loaded (by a loader defined below) into the
Manifest Repository (
Manifests will be processed after all Providers have been found to be
loaded into the provider repository. This shall allow Manifests to
create Metadata objects based on what is currently inside the
provider repository.
There are a few different metadata classes that can be used to
describe metadata. The
Zend_Tool_Framework_Manifest_Metadata is the base
metadata object. As you can see by the following code
snippet, the base metadata class is fairly lightweight and
abstract in nature:
class Zend_Tool_Framework_Metadata_Basic
protected $_type = 'Global';
protected $_name = null;
protected $_value = null;
protected $_reference = null;
public function getType();
public function getName();
public function getValue();
public function getReference();
/** ... */
There are other built in metadata classes as well for describing
more specialized metadata:
ActionMetadata and
ProviderMetadata. These classes will help you describe
in more detail metadata that is specific to either actions or
providers, and the reference is expected to be a reference to an
action or a provider respectively. These classes are described in
the following code snippet.
class Zend_Tool_Framework_Manifest_ActionMetadata
extends Zend_Tool_Framework_Manifest_Metadata
protected $_type = 'Action';
protected $_actionName = null;
public function getActionName();
/** ... */
class Zend_Tool_Framework_Manifest_ProviderMetadata
extends Zend_Tool_Framework_Manifest_Metadata
protected $_type = 'Provider';
protected $_providerName = null;
protected $_actionName = null;
protected $_specialtyName = null;
public function getProviderName();
public function getActionName();
public function getSpecialtyName();
/** ... */
'Type' in these classes is used to describe the type of metadata the
object is responsible for. In the cases of the
ActionMetadata, the type would be 'Action', and
conversely in the case of the
ProviderMetadata the type
is 'Provider'. These metadata types will also include additional
structured information about both the "thing" they are describing as
well as the object (the
getReference()) they are
referencing with this new metadata.
In order to create your own metadata type, all one must do is extend
the base
Zend_Tool_Framework_Manifest_Metadata class
and return these new metadata objects via a local Manifest
class or object. These user based classes will live in the Manifest
Once these metadata objects are in the repository, there are then two different methods that can be used in order to search for them in the repository.
class Zend_Tool_Framework_Manifest_Repository
* To use this method to search, $searchProperties should contain the names
* and values of the key/value pairs you would like to match within the
* manifest.
* For Example:
* $manifestRepository->findMetadatas(array(
* 'action' => 'Foo',
* 'name' => 'cliActionName'
* ));
* Will find any metadata objects that have a key with name 'action' value
* of 'Foo', AND a key named 'name' value of 'cliActionName'
* Note: to either exclude or include name/value pairs that exist in the
* search criteria but do not appear in the object, pass a bool value to
* $includeNonExistentProperties
public function findMetadatas(Array $searchProperties = array(),
$includeNonExistentProperties = true);
* The following will return exactly one of the matching search criteria,
* regardless of how many have been returned. First one in the manifest is
* what will be returned.
public function findMetadata(Array $searchProperties = array(),
$includeNonExistentProperties = true)
$metadatas = $this->getMetadatas($searchProperties,
return array_shift($metadatas);
Looking at the search methods above, the signatures allow for
extremely flexible searching. In order to find a metadata object,
simply pass in an array of matching constraints via an array. If
the data is accessible through the Property accessor (the
getSomething() methods implemented on the metadata
object), then it will be passed back to the user as a "found"
metadata object.
Clients are the interface which bridges a user or external tool into
Zend_Tool_Framework system. Clients can come in all
shapes and sizes: RPC endpoints, Command Line Interface, or
even a web interface.
Zend_Tool has implemented the command
line interface as the default interface for interacting with
Zend_Tool_Framework system.
To implement a client, one would need to extend the following abstract class:
abstract class Zend_Tool_Framework_Client_Abstract
* This method should be implemented by the client implementation to
* construct and set custom loaders, request and response objects.
* (not required, but suggested)
protected function _preInit();
* This method should be implemented by the client implementation to parse
* out and set up the request objects action, provider and parameter
* information.
abstract protected function _preDispatch();
* This method should be implemented by the client implementation to take
* the output of the response object and return it (in an client specific
* way) back to the Tooling Client.
* (not required, but suggested)
abstract protected function _postDispatch();
As you can see, there 1 method is required to fulfill the needs of a client (two others suggested), the initialization, prehandling and post handling. For a more in depth study of how the command line client works, please see the source code.

Alcantara, Arrieta signs of bright future for Cubs

CHICAGO -- Ah, so this is what Theo Epstein has been up to the last few years.
Sneak previews are always cool, and that's what Cubs fans were treated to on Friday afternoon.View Full Game Coverage
Fresh legs, reliable bats, a power arm on the mound and the ballpark packed, like it was when the Cubs were rolling out playoff teams. The best part is that the leading men against the Braves on Friday afternoon -- Arismendy Alcantara, All-Stars Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo and post-Jeff Samardzija ace Jake Arrieta -- average only 24 1/2 years in age.
"The future's bright," Arrieta said. "That's very apparent."
Alcantara is not one of the team's Core Four prospects (a designation that probably needs to be changed to the Big Six given the trade for Addison Russell and 2014 first-round Draft pick Kyle Schwarber's instant impact), but the dynamic little everywhere man from the Dominican Republic beat Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, Jorge Soler and Albert Almora to the Major Leagues.
He was playing in his third game on Friday, his first in front of the ivy-colored walls and iconic scoreboard, and wouldn't we all like to know how Sammy Sosa's old home looked through his wide eyes?
Alcantara was a difference-maker in the 5-4 victory over the Braves, but even before the ninth-inning dramatics it was clear that it was a rush for the 39,544 fans -- the biggest crowd of the season, including Opening Day -- to see a newcomer who could play a role on future playoff teams.
"I thought the fans, you could sense they were happy to have us home," said manager Rick Renteria, whose team went 5-6 on a trip to Boston, Washington and Cincinnati. "I'm hoping I read it right. We've been on the road a lot this year. You could feel the energy, obviously. Even though we got tied, they stayed with us. Obviously, I thought they were very excited for us to pull it out in the end. You could hear the buzz."
Alcantara, promoted on Wednesday in Cincinnati when Darwin Barney left for paternity leave, is a human pinball machine when it comes to registering stats. He does everything you can do on a diamond -- good and bad -- and the numbers often pile up in a hurry. That was the case Thursday, when he was 4-for-5 with a double, a triple and a sacrifice fly.
On Friday, the Braves had scored on a two-out single by Christian Bethancourt to tie the game in the ninth. Jordan Walden got two quick outs but that was all. Alcantara, batting .385 in his three games, pulled a pitch past diving second baseman Tommy La Stella for a single. He wasted no time stealing second and scored the winning run when Justin Ruggiano got a single past shortstop Andrelton Simmons.
Protocol dictated that players rush the field to mob Ruggiano, but the pile could have just as easily been on the 22-year-old Alcantara, a holdover from the Jim Hendry regime who was hitting .307 with double figures in doubles (25), triples (11), home runs (10) and stolen bases (21) in 89 games for Triple-A Iowa when he was promoted.
Renteria admitted that Alcantara's arrival has energized the Cubs' clubhouse.
"When you have a young person come in fresh to the big leagues, there's a lot of energy, there's a lot of excitement," Renteria said. "There's a willingness to go out and show what you have. This young man has the energy and the desire to be out there. He's very composed. Good for him."
Arrieta, acquired last year from the Orioles in a trade for Scott Feldman, continues to look like one of the best additions for Epstein and Jed Hoyer in Chicago. His emergence this season made it a little easier to trade Samardzija and Jason Hammel to the Athletics, and he pitched as well against Atlanta as he did against the Nationals in his first start after the Samardzija trade.
Relying on his tight slider more than ever, Arrieta has found the command that escaped him in Baltimore. He worked 7 2/3 innings on 98 pitches against the Braves, allowing four hits and three runs. Bethancourt's hit off Hector Rondon kept Arrieta from running his record to 6-1, but he didn't seem to mind. He'll take the 1.95 ERA and 1.01 WHIP -- and maybe in a year or so the long-term contract extension that Samardzija declined.
Arrieta admits that he expects himself to fill the void left by the Samardzija/Hammel trade.
"Yeah, I kind of slowly put myself in that role, even when those two guys were here, to be one of those guys," Arrieta said. "I've commented on it a little bit in the past, but it's a role I've been in before. I'm pretty comfortable with the responsibilities that come along with a role like that. It's something I embrace and look forward to continuing to be in this role, to help guys establish themselves, combat the struggles that take place at this level."
As usual, the Cubs received impactful hits on Friday from Castro and Rizzo, the 24-year-old All-Stars who are bouncing back from down years in 2013. They are veterans before their years, having combined to play 1,083 Major League games, too many of them with their team in last place.
No one knows when Epstein will decide to take the wrapping paper off the talent that awaits in places like Iowa, Tennessee and Florida. But Alcantara reinforces what scouts have been saying. These guys are worth the wait.
"Guys like Alcantara, we know we have some guys in the pipeline who can definitely help us in the future," Arrieta said. "We look forward to seeing these guys -- Baez, Bryant and a couple of other young guys. It's going to be a fun period of time in the next six, eight months, toward the end of this season, the beginning of next season, to see those guys blossom and continue to grow, get some experience up here. We want to win here, regardless of the situation on the roster. Our clubhouse feels like we can win games. With that mentality, on top of that, getting some good players to fit in here, that definitely helps."
For the first time in a long time, seeing was believing.

Protect public lands from fracking
As the oil and gas industry seeks to expand fracking on public lands across the country, including near our national parks and areas that provide critical drinking water for millions of Americans, now is the time to call on our elected officials to take a stand against dirty drilling.
The Protect Our Public Lands Act would ban fracking on all federal lands, protecting our most special places from fracking's dangerous and destructive impacts. While the only way to truly protect our environment and our health from fracking is to ban it outright, some places are just too precious to drill and frack and that includes our parks, canyons and forests.
Tell your representatives to take a stand against fracking by cosponsoring the Protect Our Public Lands Act.

No doubt it'll be hot there, but our guys haven't exactly been practicing on the North Pole.
Tuesday's heat index was 103-104 degrees in Athens and a 104-105 degrees in Tempe. Wednesday's predicted heat index is 104 in Athens and 105 degrees in Tempe. Monday's Sun Devil practices were described as mild weather by ESPN's beat writer.
"How mild? Seattle-boy here isn't even sweating. Not much, at least."Oh...and I'm pretty sure that a chunk of ASU's practices will be held in their new air conditioned "bubble." So the Devils will apparently go indoors when the temps rise further; yet, it will still be hot and sucky in Athens.
- ESPN Pac 10 Writer
Yeah. We won't be able to handle that heat at all. Please. Our problem in the desert will be hydration maybe, but when it comes to hot. We know from hot.

Deciding on a layout for a kitchen is probably the most important part of kitchen design
It's the layout of the kitchen—and not its color or its style—that determines how easy it is to cook, eat and socialize in the kitchen. At the most basic level, the layout addresses the placement of the appliances, the sink(s), the cabinets, the counters, the windows and doors, and furniture such as a kitchen table and chairs. If you're building a new home or adding on, you have the luxury of choosing the layout that works best for you and your family. If you're remodeling, the structure of the existing home will limit the options.
The most common kitchen layouts include the one-wall kitchen, the galley kitchen, the U-shaped kitchen, the G-shaped kitchen, and the L-shaped kitchen—some of which can also incorporate an island. Read on to find out the pros and cons of each option, as well as some tips for coping with the layout you already have.

Two years after the death of her husband, Merritt Heyward

In Beaufort, the secrets of Cal's unspoken-of past
reside among the pluff mud and jasmine of the ancestral

Follow Friday: California Dreamin'
Let me first say my perfect vacation in California would involve enjoying the beauty of the unique scenery of the area, taking in some historical sights, and spending hours at the San Francisco Public Library researching a couple of Gold Rush ancestors. Let me also say I have a seven-year-old, so that didn't happen. The best I could hope for was a three-way compromise in order to keep us all happy and entertained on our trip.
While I didn't do much writing, I did do a fair amount of blog reading. Mostly on my iPhone while watching my son play at the Lawrence Hall of Science or the play circle at Yerba Buena Gardens, from what I like to refer to as the "bored parent bench." I know I mentioned Rainy Day Genealogy Readings in a previous Follow Friday post (Follow Friday: Oh Those Poles! and More...), but I really love it. Jennifer writes about the Oakland/San Francisco Bay area. I particularly like her Tribune Tuesday posts, which have given me the idea to post old articles from my local newspaper, the Worcester Telegram, on my blog at some point. Jennifer is a thorough researcher, writes well, and knows her way around a citation. A win, win, win combination. I also read Craig Manson's posts at GeneaBlogie on his Grand Genealogy Journey, specifically his posts GeneaBlogie Grand Genealogy Journey - Day 1 Sacramento and the The Grand Genealogy Journey: Aboard the California Zephyr. My family and I visited the California Railroad Museum which he mentions in his Sacramento post. What a great museum! I was amazed at the extent of the collection, and my husband and son enjoyed the museum as well.
To humor me, or as I like to say, "Just make mommy happy, okay..." the guys agreed to check out the Rosie the Riveter Memorial Park in Richmond, California. A while back Joan at Roots 'n Leaves mentioned that her aunt Gail Sigford worked in the shipyards. When I noticed the sign for the the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historic Park in Richmond I thought it would make an interesting stop. The memorial is interesting and informative, and is situated in a very pretty park. The National Park Service offers free ranger tours a few times a month. I also noticed on their website that you can submit a World War II home front story to their website about the Rosie the Riveter or Wendy the Welder in your family. My mom worked for the Worcester, MA office of the Ration Board during the World War II, so I plan to submit a story.
I did a little pleasure reading while on vacation. I read the Kindle version of Alan Furst's The Spies of Warsaw. I honestly had never heard of Alan Furst before but found the Spies of Warsaw fascinating. The novel takes place in 1937 Warsaw, the exact year I am writing about in my series of articles Trip to Poland, 1937. The book was a great read, and I am looking forward to reading another one of his books, The Polish Officer sometime soon.
Finally, I've decided to reread my copy of Simon Winchester's A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Earthquake of 1906. I read it and enjoyed it a couple of years ago. I decided not to re-read it before or during vacation, as I didn't want to tempt fate in some weird way, if you know what I'm saying. I started it last night, but need to recover a bit more from my jet-lag induced state before continuing on. I only managed to read a few pages before falling asleep, which is no reflection on Mr. Winchester's writing, but is very much a reflection on my ability to function on the limited amount of sleep afforded passengers on the red-eye to Boston.
There was so much to see and do in California. I wished we could have done more, but we just ran out of time. Overall, we had a lovely vacation, but I'm glad to be back home in New England. Now it's time to get busy blogging, but first I think I'll take that nap. Zzzzz...

Cynthia, sounds like you had a good vacation in my part of the country--yes, we Oregonians do claim northern California as a distant cousin of sorts. All kidding aside, enjoyed your post and thanks for the mention in regard to Rosie the Riveter.

Last time I saw the city was the last time I flew a plane. Cessna 172 out of Sacremento to SFO for lunch and a day visit. Back to the 80's, Know the area well. God awfull expensive to live, beautiful place.
In Genealogy, still hoping to take care of your distant cousin William. Perhaps a little research, your end in your neck of the woods?
Take care Jacques

Nice to hear from you Jacques!
You're right, lovely city but I will say we found it expensive. That's coming from someone use to Boston and Massachusetts prices.
Sadly, not too much time for research this summer. I'm hoping to take some time again, once my son is back in school. I miss my research time at the library.

Just want to clarify as I don't want to break rules.
SK is allowed but rushing also known as walljump is NOT allowed. You have to do objectives which will help you to go to the main one. If you have any other questions, you are free to PM me or any other admin
In oasis map, without breaching old wall, just by repairing the water pump we can complete objectives, without breaching old wall, without capturing bunker, we can destroy the Anti-Tank guns, is that allowed?
And about SK i listened in-game that it is not allowed, but i does not find it in forums rules, i asked to Jok3r about this, and he said that it will be fixed soon.
I think it should be fixed because it will make a misunderstanding to new clan members.

Julius Erving, one of the greatest players in the history of professional basketball, who became known as Dr. J for the way he operated above the rim, has signed to write his autobiography.
It is believed to be a $1 million deal.
The book, tentatively titled "Dr. J," will be co-written by Sports Illustrated Senior Writer Phil Taylor and is scheduled for publication in May 2013.
HarperCollins Executive Editor David Hirshey acquired worldwide rights to the book from Erving's business manager, Alan Rubin, and his literary agent, Matthew Guma. (HarperCollins is owned by News Corp., which also owns The Post.)
Erving retired in 1987, and is one of the few players to have numbers retired by two different teams — No. 32 from his days when he led the then Long Island-based New York Nets to two championships while earning two MVP awards in the old American Basketball Association and the No. 6 worn with the Philadelphia 76ers, where he earned MVP honors en route to an NBA championship.
Erving was the master of the slam dunk and was the third-highest scoring player in professional basketball history, with 30,026 points when he retired.
Even now, 25 years later, he's still No. 5 on the all-time list.
Since he hung up his sneakers, Erving has all but disappeared from the limelight.
As high as he soared on the court, outside the arena Erving suffered a couple of well-publicized personal setbacks.
"I haven't really tried to stay in the spotlight since I stopped playing, but it's found me a couple of times," Erving told Media Ink. "I'm ready to talk about all those stories. People may have read some things, but they haven't really heard about them in my voice. I want this to be Julius Erving, the good and the bad, flaws and all."
In 1999, it was revealed that he had an affair and fathered a child out of wedlock — a then 19-year-old tennis player named Alexandra Stevenson, who had advanced to the semi-finals of Wimbledon on her first appearance in the tournament.
Then, a year later, Erving's son, Cory, was found dead from apparent drowning after driving his car into a pond near the family home.
Erving and his wife, Turquoise, dissolved their 29-year marriage in 2003, after it was disclosed he had had another affair, with Dorys Madden, whom he ended up marrying five years later.
A lot of his exploits in the NBA were well-documented, but many of his experiences in the ABA — where he was the most dominant player in the league by a wide margin — went unrecorded because the struggling league never had a national TV contract and many of its games were not televised.
He said he was given the nickname, "The Doctor," by a high school friend at Roosevelt High, where he played schoolboy hoops. It finally stuck for good when he started playing in the famous Rucker League in Harlem.
Time calls
Todd Larsen, the former Dow Jones president, was formally announced as the new executive vice president of news and sports at Time Inc. The news group includes Time magazine and the sports group includes Sports Illustrated.
In something of a p.r. embarrassment, the news began leaking out just before Labor Day weekend, but wasn't officially confirmed by Time Inc. until Sept. 5.
Insiders say that the person immediately on the hot seat is Executive Vice President Mark Ford. He is currently charged with running the sports group and now has Larsen as his new boss. The make or break on that may still be a few months down the road.
One of Larsen's first jobs will be to fill the Time magazine publisher's job, the vacancy created when Kim Kelleher left for the dot-com world. And insiders say that Larsen is going to be much more active on international strategy.
It's an area that seems ripe for expansion, but Time Inc. has traditionally preferred to own most of its international brands outright. As a result, it has lagged far behind Condé Nast and Hearst in terms of international licensing muscle.
Glam life
Glam Media, the fashion-centric blogging site, has named two new members to its board — reviving industry talk that the 8-year-old dot-com may be getting ready to test the financial waters with an initial public offering.
The new directors are David Saltzman, executive director and founder of The Robin Hood Foundation, and Gary R. Effren, former Knight Ridder vice president and chief financial officer.
Saltzman is seen as the ultimate door opener through his well-endowed philanthropy that attracts top names in finance and media to its fund-raising ventures, while Effren is seen as a hard-nosed deal maker and numbers-cruncher.
Glam says it has 244 million unique monthly visitors, more than AOL.
The company is backed by venture-capital firms and Burda, a big European publisher with virtually no profile in the US.
It is believed to have revenue of around $100 million and an operating bottom line that is around breakeven or slightly profitable. Recently, it reportedly retained Goldman Sachs, Allen & Co. and Bank of America to size up the equity markets.
Glam Media officials confirmed the new board members, but declined further comment.
TV Guider
TV Guide Editor-in-Chief Debra Birnbaum is adding the title of president, a job that had not been filled for years at the once-dominant weekly.
The magazine has been forced to cut staff and outsource much of its backshop operations in recent years.
The acting CEO, Jack Kliger, a senior adviser to Open Gate Capital, the weekly's owner, said that TV Guide is now "cash flow positive."
The magazine's circulation was stable at 2,010,879 in the first half of 2012, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
The so-called "verified" or free copies, amounted to 97,712, according to ABC. A large number of free copies is not considered a strength.
"I'll be looking at ways to build the business, from digital to sponsorships to brand extensions," said Birnbaum, who will still be charged with running the magazine's day-to-day operations as its editor-in-chief.

There's a shootout in "Takers" that reaches far beyond the movie's generic heist picture storyline and generic one-note performances. It's set in a hotel suite, and it is a symphony of shotgun shells, a tarantella of Tech 9s -- bullets spitting, furniture exploding in clouds of padding, stuffing and splinters.
Editor Armen Minasian ("Fearless," "I, Robot") cut this mayhem as if he were creating his own "Scarface" moment, a heart-stopping fury of action, sound, bodies and bloodbursts. He lifts, if only momentarily, a formula picture into something more than just cool, tough actors posing and talking tough.
Idris Elba is the Gordon, the suave, tall, and Caribbean-accent leader of the pack. You can tell he's the leader because he's the chap who utters the movie's tag-line.
"We're takers, gents," he says. " That's what we do for a living."
They --there are five of them -- "take" banks. They plan a job to death, spend spend spend on gear, and coolly make their getaway. Paul Walker is Rahway, the high-living marksman and driver. Jake ( Michael Ealy) is the cautious one, fretting over how they invest their ill-gotten gains. Chris Brown is Jesse, his brother, cocky, young, gullible. Hayden Christensen is A.J., all about the technology and the getaway.
But Gordon is a gangster with a heavy heart. Jake has a guilty conscience -- he stole a former gang member's girl ( Zoe Saldana, barely in this) when the guy, "Ghost" (Tip "T.I." Harris) went to prison.
And an overzealous cop ( Matt Dillon) with a cloud over his head is getting wise to them.
Not a good time for Ghost to get out of prison, propose a new job and get the gang into bed with a bunch of Russians.
The script-by- committee is mostly plot and tastes of the high life these takers live -- they own a club, dress up, drive the nice cars. But there's the odd tasty burst of dialogue between the hoodlums.
"It's like that?"
"It's like that."
The performers are given stock types to play, and Elba and Dillon, at least, can do a little with that. Others, particularly Harris, slide into monotony -- flatly playing the some tone, the same pitch -- in all their scenes.
But director John Luessenhop ("Lockdown") jazzes things up, giving us death in extreme closeup and in-your-face action that turns the few twists this predictable tale takes into surprises.
And Minasian, digitally snip-snipping away, transforms the action beats into memorable moments that make "Takers" look like a B-list "Heat," and make you wish they'd been set pieces in a much better film.
See for Yourself Takers

Requiring Reworked Sqitch Changes
I recently discovered a mildly annoying bug in Sqitch, the Git-inspired
database schema change management app I've been working on for the past year.
One of its key features is the ability to "rework" changes. For example, if you
have a change that defines a function
change_password(), and discover sometime
after release that it has a bug (maybe the hashing algorithm is too weak), you
can "rework" it – essentially modify it in place – and save some headaches.
Check out the "In Place Changes" section of the (PostgreSQL, SQLite,
Oracle, or MySQL (coming soon) tutorials for detailed examples of how it
The bug was about what happens when one adds a new change that depends on a
reworked change, but just specifies it by name, such as
sqitch add meow --requires change_password
This added the change fine, but at deploy time, Sqitch complained that there
were multiple instances of a change in the database. Of course, that's true,
change_password will have been deployed twice: once for the original
version, and the second time for the reworked version. This was inconsistent
with how it looked up changes in the plan, where it would just return the first
instance of a change in the plan. So I changed it so that dependency lookups
in the database also return the first instance of the change. I believe this
makes sense, because if you require
change_password, without specifying which
instance you want, you probably want any instance, starting with the earliest.
But what if you actually need to require a specific instance of a reworked change? Let's say your plan looks like this:
change_pass [email@example.com]
The third change is
change_pass, and it has been reworked in the sixth change
(requiring the previous version, as of the
@v1.0 tag). If you want to require
any instance of
change_pass, you specify it as in the previous example. But
what if there were changes in the reworked version that you require? You might
try to require it as-of the symbolic tag
sqitch add meow --requires change_password@HEAD
This means, "Require the last instance of
change_password in the plan." And
that would work…until you reworked it again, then it would be updated to point
at the newer instance. Sqitch will choke on that, because you can't require
changes that appear later in the plan.
So what we have to do instead is add a new tag after the second instance of
sqitch tag rehash
Now the plan will look like this:
change_pass [email@example.com]
Now we can identify exactly the instance we need by specifying that tag:
sqitch add meow --requires change_password@rehash
Meaning "The instance of
change_password as of
@rehash." If what you really
needed was the first version, you can specify the tag that follows it:
sqitch add meow --requires email@example.com
Which, since it is the first instance is the same as specifying no tag at all.
But if there were, say, four instances of
change_pass, you can see how it
might be important to use tags to specify specific instances for dependencies.
For what it's worth, this is how to get around the original bug referenced above: just specify which instance of the change to require by using a tag that follows that instance, and the error should go away.

U.S. markets spazzed with toddler-like glee when Fed officials gave remarks Tuesday indicating commitment to current monetary policies. But although equities and Treasurys gained on the statements of central bankers, the agency mortgage-backed security market may have gotten the biggest sugar high.
The Fed's current bond-buying program involves purchasing $85 billion worth of securities each month, including $45 billion in Treasurys and $40 billion in agency MBS. That means agency MBS investors have as much stake in the Fed's policies as anyone else, and perhaps more.
The net supply of new issuance MBS is just about zero, when accounting for new supply alongside maturing and refinanced debt, said Tom Graff, fixed-income portfolio manager at Brown Advisory, in an interview. When the Fed makes its purchases, it pulls supply directly out of the market, which means the central bank's effect is magnified.
So when St. Louis Fed President James Bullard and New York Fed President William Dudley indicated in remarks that they don't foresee any immediate changes to its asset purchases, it's no surprise the market responded positively.
Yields on 30-year Fannie Mae MBS dropped 10 basis points intra-day from 2.75% to 2.65%, said Graff. Meanwhile, yields on the 10-year benchmark Treasury note only dropped 4 basis points on the day to 1.93% from 1.97%.
Treasurys rose on the same indication that interest rates would remain low while equities gained on the implication that the Fed would continue to underpin the economy.
Another foil of the Fed's internal debate over monetary policy is the question of which assets it would ditch first if and when it eventually decides to sell. Bear in mind that the Fed hasn't even indicated it will stop purchasing assets, so selling them would be a ways off. But Dudley's comments that the Fed has the ability to keep its agency MBS on the balance sheet until maturity, thereby circumventing a sell-off, added extra fuel to the rally, Graff said. Other officials have made similar comments.
Agency MBS – securities made up of pools of mortgages that are guaranteed by the credit of federal agencies like Fannie Mae – has become popular among investors because it yields more than Treasurys but has low default risk.
Hugh Lamle, president of M.D. Sass Investors Services, sees particular value in what he calls "seasoned" MBS. Those are securities that are close to maturity, and therefore pay out a certain percentage of the principal each month which can then be reinvested. If the Fed does change its monetary policy, sending yields higher, the maturing principal can be used to buy higher-yielding securities, he said.
"It's very similar to what people think of in terms of a laddered portfolio," Lamle said in an interview.

Worksites take steps to decrease healthcare expenses, increase productivity
Commonwealth Health Corporation has been recognized as a Platinum-Level Fit-Friendly Worksite by the American Heart Association for helping employees eat better and move more. This is the fourth year CHC has achieved the Platinum Level.
"Physical activity and employee wellness are important priorities at Commonwealth Health Corporation. We are honored and excited to be recognized by the American Heart Association as a Platinum-Level Fit-Friendly Worksite," said Lynn Williams, Vice President of Human Resources. "We're committed to providing the best workplace environment possible. This will benefit our employees' health and produce even more positive results for our worksite overall."
Platinum-level employers:
"At CHC, we support our employees who each have unique wellness needs by offering a variety of health and wellness opportunities," said Williams. CHC focuses on offering healthy vending options and encouraging smarter choices in its cafeterias. CHC offers incentive-based activity programs, activity/food-based challenges and on-line health workshops, and recognizes employees who achieve health and wellness goals.
The Fit-Friendly Worksites program is a catalyst for positive change in the American workforce by helping worksites make their employees' health and well-being a priority.
American employers are losing an estimated $225.8 billion a year because of healthcare expenses and health-related losses in productivity, and those numbers are rising. Many American adults spend most of their waking hours at sedentary jobs. Their lack of regular physical activity raises their risk for a host of medical problems, such as obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Employers face $12.7 billion in annual medical expenses due to obesity alone. The American Heart Association is working to change corporate cultures by motivating employees to start walking, which has the lowest dropout rate of any physical activity.
Recognition is a critical component of the Fit-Friendly Worksites program. Employers that join this program qualify for official recognition by the American Heart Association. They are listed on the program's national website. Qualifying worksites also have the right to use the program's annual recognition seal for internal communications and with external, recruitment-related communications.
For more information about the Fit-Friendly Worksites program and how it's helping to improve the health of Americans by focusing on the workplace, visit heart.org/worksitewellness.

It may be time to give Dwight a few games off
Posted December 26, 2012 - 06:26 AM
Kobe shouldn't be playing 44 mins either.
Hopefully, we start putting away a few teams earlier on and then we can sit some of the starters.
Posted December 26, 2012 - 06:53 AM
Arguably the greatest franchise ever
Posted December 26, 2012 - 10:38 AM
How is it myopic? I'm basically asking you how one week of rest will help Dwight if he came back at least one month (word was that it was two months) too early, especially now that he's been playing for two months? What will that week of rest do, really?
RD, your view of the situation is myopic. We have a MUCH larger goal than winning 3 games in January. We have the most talented starting 5 in the league. None of that matters in the playoffs if our ANCHOR is still not 100% because we didn't want to (possibly) sacrifice 3 games in January. None of that matters if we can't get the most out of the Best P&R Duo in the league. All of the "heavy lifting" (read: volume shooting) Kobe's doing is because Dwight's NOT 100%. Our defensive lapses that were expected to disappear with Dwight as the anchor? Still here. Why? Dwight's not 100%.
We can lose three games in a row...whatever. We're still making the playoffs. However, three games without Dwight does a lot of things. One, it puts more on Kobe than ever before (since the post-Shaq, pre-Gasol days). Two, it forces us to play an even different lineup than we have all season long...and with that, it means we play a MUCH different way without a legitimate threat inside (Gasol is not a threat). Three, we simply run the risk of losing three games that will most definitely determine our home court advantage over a few Western Conference teams I don't think we'll be able to run off the side of the road easily.
A week of rest isn't going to bump Howard up to 100% health. Doubt it does much. Does that mean we hold him out of practice, also? If so, we lose even more than just games...and if not, he's going to be a worthless practice buddy with very, very limited contact.
We are on a five-game winning streak. Let's see where it goes. Howard is putting up 18 PPG, 12 RPG, 3 BPG, 57% FG, upped his FT shooting to 10 FTA/G at around 51%...all around his career averages on a team that doesn't exactly need him to go all-out as the lone superstar anymore. Sure, he's missing a dunk here or there, but it's not happening all game long. One or two plays, he's not able to get off the ground, but plays later and mostly after sitting during the game, he's touching the top half of the backboard to swat a shot. I doubt a week of rest will fix that...it's the conditioning, not the injury.
Posted December 26, 2012 - 11:42 AM
But to be 100% you need the offseason. Unless the suggestion is sit Dwight for 3 months and have him treat it like the offseason which I'm sure noone is suggesting. He's better off playing and getting in better shape.
Next year after lifting, running, and recovering like he always does during the offseason he'll be back
Posted December 26, 2012 - 08:29 PM
terrible second [expletive]ing half
Posted December 26, 2012 - 10:03 PM
Now is NOT the time to rest him, he's almost back he just doesn't have his stamina yet.

"Bryant had come to rage against the idea that Howard's clownish disposition could overtake the locker room, the Lakers' culture, and had warned Howard that he would never, ever let it happen."

Topic: Indiana Jones 4 Trailer
The trailer for the much anticipated Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out today. If you haven't seen it already, do so now.
http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/indiana … howVideo=1
Personally, I am very much obsessed with Indiana Jones and I want to talk about the trailer with my friends here at the BFFC.
I thought that the original Indy flavor may have been lost in this film. Not all of it, but some of it. I think this is mostly due to the CGI effects and not the good old fashioned stunts that they used to do. It all just looks so...different. The trailer itself was alright, the intro at the beginning was a bit unnecessary. Who doesnt know the history of Indiana Jones? The last 15 seconds are great. Didnt get to see Marion Ravenwood though. Still I dont think it was too bad. I really hope the actual movie blows all the expectations out of the water, but that rarely ever happens. And with something as big as Indiana Jones? Expectations are through the roof. As they should be. Indy kicks @$$.
I am a Role Playing Gamer, like my father before me.

Ah, ah... Not only were my last two posts all full of whining (mostly about 2011 misfortunes), but the unluck continues until the end of the year... I'm so happy I'll be rid of it by tomorrow, and hopefully 2012 will be a little wee bit more easygoing... So, what happened now? Well, first Santa (I mistyped Satan, I'm wondering about THAT kind of Freudian slip...) brought my 35-year-old boyfriend chickenpox (YES, chickenpox of all things, for the "little" child!), which meant that all plans for New Year's Eve are cancelled, as he has to be in quarantine so he won't give it to the rest of the world. Luckily I had already had it when I was small, so I won't get it, but I'm not going to leave him in house isolation and go out to have fun on my own... A quiet night it is then. I had again many plans for this bank holiday weekend, and I had booked since months a restaurant I wanted to go to for my Birthday dinner (on Tue, which is also the first day back to work, and therefore a miserable day by definition), but all that will have to wait... I have to say I am now getting quite fed up of cancelling things, especially the ones with no refunds. But as I said, I have high hopes for 2012, and it's almost here!
To continue the misfortune story, since the little chickenpox-ridden one was looking like a sad (Dalmatian) puppy, I decided to make this tart that I had in a list of "cool new things to make during the holidays" since a while, and it was indeed really good and managed to lift both of our spirits a tiny bit. After I made it and we ate it, I went to the kitchen to put the plates in the dishwasher, and when I turned on the light it went "poof!", and the kitchen, bathroom and guestroom lights went out... Thinking it must be the fuse, I went with a flashlight (the joys of it being dark already after lunchtime...) and switched all the fuses between themselves, but no result. At the same time, the oven is also not working, but luckily the hob, the lights under the kitchen cupboards, the sockets and subsequently the fridge still have power, so at least we won't starve to death/have takeaway for New Year's Eve or lose all the nice food we have piled up in there. What a better way to start the year than peeing with a candle...
And when I thought, what more can happen, now it's almost 2012, I opened my nut drawer to get some cashew nuts and found that a mouse had taken affectionate bites off pretty much half the stuff in there, and it must have been quite stupid too, as it had taken bites of all the plastic wrappings, but not of the nuts themselves. Argggggggggh... All these nuts are now in the rubbish, fantastic. The ones that survived (the unopened ones and some that were not to its liking it seems) are now safely inside a tupperware, but I really hate the idea that there might be a mouse lurking around somewhere behind the cupboards...
Anyway, enough now, tomorrow is a new day, a new year and hopefully some new good karma! Happy New Year everyone!
Sweet potato, squash, chorizo and goats' cheese tart
Source: Adapted from delicious magazine
Serves 4
- 375g ready rolled puff pastry
- 400g sweet potatoes
- 350g butternut squash
- ½ tsp whole coriander
- 1 tsp whole cumin
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 150ml double cream
- 100g chorizo, chopped into small cubes
- 80g goats' cheese, crumbled
- A few leaves of rocket
- Salt and pepper for seasoning
Line a deep tart tin with the puff pastry, prick the base with a fork, line with scrunched up baking parchment and fill with baking beans. Chill for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Dry fry the cumin and coriander in a small frying pan, until lightly browned and fragrant, then tip into a pestle and mortar and smash into powder. Peel the sweet potatoes and butternut squash and chop into small cubes. Place in a baking tray, making sure that they are all in an even layer, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, coriander and cumin. Put in the bottom shelf of the oven, and at the same time put the tart tin in the top shelf of the oven and bake both for 10 minutes.
Leaving the vegetables still in the oven, take out the tart tin, remove the baking beans, and bake for another 10 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the vegetables are softened. Beat the eggs and mix with the double cream, then fold in all the vegetables, adding salt and pepper if required. Pour the mixture into the pastry case, sprinkle the chorizo and goats' cheese over it, and then bake for 20 minutes or until set and browned. Take out of the oven, leave to cool for 5 minutes and then garnish with rocket leaves.

Bonhams have a long standing history of selling high quality modern design furniture, and are the first auction house to have a department specifically dedicated to the subject matter. Our international auctions staged in London, New York and Los Angeles focus on furniture by the leading architects, artists and designers of the 20th and 21st centuries. The sales offer works by the early modernist masters such as Alvar Aalto, Marcel Breuer and Le Corbusier, through to cutting edge contemporary designers including Ron Arad, Marc Newson, Shiro Kurmata and Tom Dixon. Whether you are interested in the elegant lines of mid century modern Scandinavian furniture, the vibrant optimism of post war Italian design, the iconic pop pieces of the 1960s or the uncompromising esthetic of Studio Alchymia and UK creative salvage, the Bonhams design auctions will include something for every taste.
The market for modern design is currently very buoyant and this is reflected in the strong prices we have recently achieved for key works.

Camera Falls From Skydiving Plane, Lands in Pig Pen. GREAT Ending
I think everyone over the age of about five has probably had a dream where you're falling. And I don't mean slipping on the ice falling, I mean FALLING from a height and no way to stop.
A group of skydivers took one of those GoPro cameras with them on a jump. Unfortunately, the camera slipped out of their hands and went on a free fall.
The short video gets a little nauseating for those of us with a weak stomach, but the ending is GREAT as the camera landed in a pig pen!
The jump happened in the spring of 2013 but the video was recently unearthed since, you know, the camera fell in a pig pen!
The end of the video makes the whole thing worth watching and it's a MUST watch!
