Here is a playful animal from Minecraft that I think you will enjoy more then the wolf and sheep. This is one of my favorite animals from Minecraft, so I hope you enjoy drawing a Minecraft chicken. I don't play the game but like I said in the past my brother does. He is addicted to Minecraft, but he hasn't played it in a week because he has been too busy with flying an Airhog helicopter. Well, I guess that's it. Enjoy this tutorial on how to draw a Minecraft chicken and I will be back with other tuts that aren't related to Minecraft. Peace!

7 Ways Marketers Can Attract and Appeal to Millennials
The buying power of Millennials continues to increase year over year, making it an unavoidable market segment for top brands.

Pantaleone's restaurant in Denver gets a 'Kitchen Nightmares' makeover
Pantaleone's, a pizza emporium in south Denver, is getting its moment in the sun April 11 thanks to a makeover on FOX network's "Kitchen Nightmares." And yes, they went through the drill — or grill — with Gordon Ramsay, the often-acerbic Brit who is the show's advising chef. Roit!
The recipients of Ramsay's makeover? Pete and Paulette Fafalios, the husband-and-wife team that run the restaurant. They can't really talk about what they went through — that's for the show to reveal — but the FOX promo describes the place as "stuck in the past." Pete apparently wields a copy of a 1980s review to bolster Pantaleone's claim as the best pizza in Denver, though the pie apparently failed a side-by-side taste test with store-bought 'za when the makeover was launched in summer 2013. Ouch.
But there were some apparent perks for the Fafalios. Along with landing a refurbished restaurant, Ramsay & Co. flew them to a restaurant in Las Vegas to see how it's done.
Here's hoping the makeover turns out to be a winning bet for the family. You can watch the initial carnage, and subsequent journey to redemption, on KDVR-FOX31 on April 11 at 7 p.m. (For the record, the show opens with a post-makeover return to Amy's Baking Co. in Scottsale, Ariz., which resulted in some head-snapping moments last season.)
Curious for a first-person taste of how all the work at Pantaleone's turned out? The restaurant is located at 2120 S. Holly St. Phone: 303-757-3456.

Institute 15 - Early Music and Performance Practice
The main task of the institute is to explore and unfold Early Music and its respective performance tradition and practice. Early Music refers to the music which has developed before 1900 and whose effect and compositional content are fully understandable and can be brought to one's mind just by including scientific results of the respective stylistics and the original performance tradition on historical instruments and by taking into consideration adequate ways of performing and notation.
In this spirit, the artistic education in the Bachelor and Master studies of Early Music of recorder, cembalo, and viola da gamba (including "IGP", i.e. music education, voice and instruments) gets inspired by research-oriented artistic and scientific training in compulsory and elective subjects for all disciplines and by the research of diverse aspects of the historically informed performance practice and the unfolding of the arts in the indicated repertoire.

Yankees sign Shumway after loss to Houston
HOUSTON – To most people the Yankees went berserk with their free agent signings this offseason. But it appears Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran just weren't enough – and we won't know until Friday whether or not Masahiro Tanaka will deliver the goods.
After a deflating 6-2 loss in their season opener against the Astros last night, the Yankees announced today they have signed utility free agent slugger Gordon Shumway to a 5-year, $65 million deal. He is expected to play tonight.
Shumway, a native of the planet Melmac who most people recognize as "Alf" the alien life form, held a press conference this morning at Minute Maid Park and talked about how he plans on helping the Yankees pick up a winning attitude.
"I watched the games last year," he said. "I saw how disappointing it was for the fans, so I decided it was time to get in the batting cages and start swinging. I found that, like most things, I was really good at baseball. A scout for the Yankees saw me playing against some Little Leaguers and said 'we need ya, Alf ol' boy!' How could I say no to that?"
In that game vs. the Little League team, Alf hit three home runs and stole five bases on the way to a 10-0, mercy rule win in five innings. To say the least, he has plenty of confidence he will bring that type of energy to the Yankees.
"I knew I'd win that game," Alf said. "Just like I know, with my skills, the Yankees will win the World Series this year. My real name is Gordon Shumway but everyone knows me by the nickname 'Alf' – and well, after the 2014 baseball season is complete, everyone will know me by three other letters: MVP."
Alf brings a swagger to the Yankees like no one skipper Joe Girardi has ever seen.
"Not even Al (Alex Rodriguez) is as – I don't want to say cocky – but as confident as Alf is," Girardi said. "He certainly brings a different dynamic to the team that we need right now. We're happy to have to have him here."
General Manager Brian Cashman also drew a comparison between Alf and Rodriguez, though he expects no problems with the radical, rookie extraterrestrial.
"I had to tell A-Rod to shut up in my own way last year, only because he was mouthing off about things he couldn't back up," Cashman said. "I know I'm not going to have to tell Alf to shut up in an animated way, because I know he'll back up every bit of what he says on the field and in the batter's box."
Alf foresees no troubles in the next five years, citing his only desire is to play ball and win it all.
"I just want to win, which we will because it's all I do," he said. "This season with the Yankees, all I can say is, no problem!"
Tonight's starting lineup will include Alf. He will bat cleanup against the Astros and promised the fans back in New York he would hit not one, but two home runs to make up for, what he called, an "embarrassing" loss last night.
Another one of my ill-fated attempts at humor in a (belated) April Fool's Day effort. You can check out some of my past foolish attempts here (Ted Danson/Paul O'Neill), here (Michael Pineda selling ice cream), and here (CC Sabathia playing Fat Albert).
Tonight – without the help of Alf – the Yankees look to pick up their first win of what will hopefully be a prosperous 2014 MLB season.

They can also alter just about anything to hold ashen remains, from knickknacks to sporting goods. Some examples of modification of existing objects are collectibles, sports equipment, jewelry, books, statues, musical instruments, walking sticks, fishing rods and picture frames.
Co-Owner David Riccomi says, when he dies, he wants his ashes encased in fishing rods that will be distributed to family and friends. Then, long after he's gone, he says, he'll still be able to go fishing.
Because the business won't be scattering remains, it doesn't require state licensing. Riccomi and Fregosi say, however, that they have established strict guidelines in an effort to reassure customers they will handle the remains carefully and with respect.
The very best part of all is the very affordable prices. The minimum cost of converting a memento into an urn is $150. Prices for custom-designed urns vary substantially, but usually start at about $2,000. You can find about the same price range for standard urns sold through funeral homes. The only limits at this place are your imagination and finances.

End of the year games (part 2)
Elchfest is one of the Kosmos/Mayfair 2-player series, a dexterity game where you try to flick disks across the table, into position as stepping stones for your wooden moose/elk piece. Your opponent takes turns doing the same, and the two of you try to reach the other side of the table (river) before the other. As simple as that, there are some subtleties around the fact that the three stepping stone disks you each have are neutral pieces--they don't belong to either player. So while it feels natural to flick just the stones on your side during your turn, before long you & your opponent are tempted--and well advised--to flick the other stones, too. Then it becomes more than a dexterity, finger-flicking face, it also adds some offensive & defensive play. But flicking games aren't for everyone, and this one didn't go over too well. I still enjoy it.
Then we had four players for For Sale, followed up by three for Coloretto, two little card games that really show some imaginative gameplay for someone only used to traditional card games. That was the whole idea with their selection! It's funny to compare how it turned out against my attempts with those same two games and my family. At work, For Sale was interesting but not especially compelling, while they suck their teeth into Coloretto. At home it was close to the opposite, having fun with For Sale but finding Coloretto a bit too dry and requiring more tracking (and direct confrontation). In both cases I'd call the experience an overall success, just to find one hit. I guess the difference comes from the audience, though I wonder if it's really that cliché--that the family enjoys the lighter game, and the engineers want something that can be studied?
The last one at work was Dynasties. You'll hear me mention this one as my faux sleeper of 2006 in the next Boardgame Roundtable podcast, hosted by Doug Garrett. (It's a faux sleeper because it really came out in 2005, I just didn't find it until this year--in a math trade!) This has been my biggest hit at work. It's an area-majority game, and a bidding game. I find those unusual qualities for a 2-player game. My buddy at work requested a game with "sneakiness," and this has fit the bill. In this case, that sneakiness comes from bluffing and double-think, not backstabbing or trick plays. It was such a hit with him that he borrowed it for the Thanksgiving weekend, and now closer to Christmas I got to introduce it to someone else at work. Another success.
On the homefront, it's been more light games with mostly my kids. Over on the Family Boardgaming Podcast they recommended Quicksand for parents & kids, so I snapped up a few from the recent Fantasy Flight sale to play at home and give as gifts to a cousin and the local Toys for Tots drive. Sure enough, it was a hit with my daughter. We've played with family, just the two of us, and--best of all--she wanted to teach her neighborhood friends all by herself. It's a very light game of hidden identity (as in Clans, which didn't impress the kids), a race game played with cards, themed around a jungle expedition. My favorite moment came when I helped one of Molly's friends who wasn't having as much fun as the rest of the girls. She had a hand full of cards that moved the blue pawn/explorer forward, but that wasn't her color. I whispered that she should play them all at once anyway, move the blue pawn as poorly as possible, and then get to refill her entire hand, hoping for better cards. "Ohhhhhh.....," she said, starting to get it. And then, "Good thinking!"
I packed games into other games to save space during our trips to see relatives over the past week. However, all we played was one more game of Quicksand, and once I got to play Harry's Grand Slam Baseball with my son. He liked it, and I hope we'll get to play more later. But nothing else, not even a game of Hearts with grandpa. What we did play was the Wii, Nintendo's new game system that features interactive, wireless controllers that you wave around instead of pressing a million buttons.
Ok, here I go again. I even mention it during that Boardgame Roundtable podcast. Yes, it's a video game. But I'm telling you, we got everyone into it, had lots of fun, and the social experience was right up there (or beyond) what I brought with my in my boxes of board & card games. My brother & his wife laughed through tennis, and she's pretty much opposed to all videogames. At my in-laws' we did even better, getting everyone into it. I couldn't believe how much fun my mother-in-law was having with the bowling game, cheered on by her grandkids. The golf game just about convinced my brother-in-law to go out and get a system for his family. The nieces played constantly. It's not unusual for kids to play videogames, of course, but even the littlest one found it easy and intuitive to play. We all got into it together, and that's what felt so special.

Emerging 90-Point Brand
Banshee wines is not your normal wine company.
It is a band of wine industry insiders dedicated to producing benchmark wines without the cult wine prices. We specialize in finding hidden gems in other wineries' cellars and then blending those barrels to create killer wines. For every barrel we take, we pass on 15 more that don't make the cut.
The secret is that today, high-end wineries can't sell all the wine they make and they don't want to lower prices because they don't want to diminish their brand. They would rather sell some of their wine to us and protect their luxury prices. Fine by us and even better for you.
You'll find Banshee on some of the best restaurant lists in the world and in the cellars of the wine cognoscenti. You know, those people that tend to know these types of things.
Our goal is to deliver distinctive wines that beat the pants off many costing twice as much.
We feel massively confident that we've exceeded that goal with Banshee Wines.
Emerging 90-Point Syrah Brand
Bedrock is an itsy-bitsy winery making wine in a converted chicken coop. Fruit from only the most excellent vineyard sites is hand pitch-forked into the destemmer, fermented in open top redwood and stainless vats using only native yeasts, and are manually basket pressed by winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson into the sexiest oak from the coldest French forests.
The winery's objectives are:
To channel the fruit of ancient vines into powerful, elegant, and distinctly Californian wines.
To spread the gospel of Syrah in California by sourcing fruit from great terroirs throughout the North Coast.
To proclaim the greatness of Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon by sparing no expense on wines of uniqueness and personality.
To reclaim rose' from the excesses of saignee and focus on precision, delicacy, aromatics, and food friendliness.
To make fascinating and quixotic white wines from unique sites and interesting varietals.
To make California Pinot Noir that ages as well as '74 Swan.
To dream big but keep production low!

2009 Pey-Marin "The Shell Mound" Marin County Riesling
93 points and an Editors' Choice, Wine Enthusiast: "Pey-Marin's Rieslings have been among the greatest in California, and their 2009 is one of their best yet. The wine is entirely unoaked, and did not undergo the malolactic fermentation, but it was aged on its lees. That allows the acidity to star, and what brilliant acidity it is. Rich and bone dry in steel, mineral, slate, citrus, white peach and Champagne yeast flavors, it takes California Riesling in a whole different direction." (02/11) A refreshingly crisp and dry Riesling organically grown on the chilly western coast of Marin County This is a bright, steely and very delicate aromatic and flavor profile at modest alcohol. No oak, no malo, no blending showcases purity of well-drained, mature site and unique clonal provenance. The frigid vineyard site provides for naturally high acidity, a hallmark of the great Rieslings of northern Europe.—K&L Wine Merchants.

Emerging 90-Plus Point Brand
Nestled among boutique shops & restaurants, the Consilience tasting room is located on Grand Avenue in the wine country town of Los Olivos, California. The tasting room is open to the public seven days a week.
The philosophy at Consilience has been to not only create expressive, reliably high quality wines, but also to put that wine in the bottle for a reasonable price that is far below what comparable quality wines would cost. We are in part able to do that by making our wines in a more commercially oriented wine making facility rather than a glamorous estate chateau. There are no fancy winery tours, but we hope you enjoy the value and reasonably priced wine this allows us to pass on.
"Consilience" is an old scientific word first defined by 19th century philosopher William Whewell as a way to describe the interlocking explanations of cause and effect among disciplines.
The story of Consilience, the winery, began as a more humble interlocking of ideas among friends setting out with an inspiration to simply make the best wines possible in the Santa Barbara wine country. And this story does not begin with a vast dot.com fortune, but rather in a hospital emergency room. Luckily all involved were on the giving side of medical attention rather than receiving.
Tom & Jodie had just moved to Santa Barbara to begin Tom's residency in Radiology at Cottage Hospital while Jodie began a new career in customer service for a medical device manufacturer. Brett was working as a paramedic and Monica as an emergency room nurse, all working overtime to survive the formidable cost of living in Santa Barbara. The collective budget was more in line with cheap beer in recycleable bottles than fine wine, but they did get together frequently and managed to enjoy the occasional good bottle.
Brett's interest in the wine industry had actually already begun during an old college class and with seasonal work at the Santa Barbara winery. They all wanted to learn more about wine in general, and over a bottle one night decided on a long weekend getaway to explore the Napa & Sonoma wine country. Somewhere between the wine tasting, mud baths and cucumber water they all realized there was a better way of life out there, and the idea behind Consilience was hatched.
Lacking a family oil fortune they all continued their day jobs for several years while gradually learning about what people really enjoyed in wine, and what it would take to make it in the wine business. Brett finished his masters degree in eonology and viticulture, and burning the midnight oil in a shared facility the first vintage for Consilience was produced in 1997. The first wines went out to friends, family and colleagues who helped spread the word about these new wines that were well received by both consumers and the media.
Working from home they processed orders in the evenings and weekends, packaged wines for shipment in the garage, and endured the usual problems of any start-up as the business grew.
Through years of teamwork and the good fortune of support from customers throughout the country, Consilience has become more widely known as a reliable producer of exciting, expressive and approachable wines relfective of the Santa Barbara area. Consilience wines can be found in restaurants and wine shops in many states, and they enjoyvistors from across the country at their beautiful tasting room in Los Olivos, California.

THE BHA have warned trainers to be vigilant for signs of disease after it was announced that Victor Dartnall's Devon yard had been temporarily closed due to the discovery of an outbreak of what is believed to be equine neurological herpes.
Professor Tim Morris, director of equine science and welfare at the BHA, said that horses may have been infectious before disease was diagnosed, although he said the risk of contagion was small.
He said: "We have been working with the trainer and his veterinary surgeon to ensure that the correct, robust security measures have been put in place.
"It is, in theory, possible that horses may have been infectious before the signs of the disease appeared. We have therefore contacted racecourses to alert them to possible exposure but stress that the actual risk of transmission of this virus in a controlled raceday environment is relatively small.
"This emphasises the importance of trainers being vigilant for signs of disease and in particular they should refer to the recently published NTF (National Trainers Federation) Code of Practice for Infectious Diseases of Racehorses in Training, which contains specific advice on surveillance for this disease and what to do if they have concerns that a horse in their care is showing the disease."
In a statement Dartnall, who trains at Brayford in North Devon, said: "Over the last few days we have suffered an outbreak of a neurological disease in some horses. Initial test results support the cause to be neurological herpes virus. We are working very closely with our vets and the BHA and we are hopeful that we have the situation under control."
The outbreak was discovered on Wednesday when temperatures spiked in some of Dartnall's horses. The most severely affected are believed to be the younger horses in the yard. Neurological herpes can be fatal.
Dartnall's yard will remain closed until the disease is under control.

Tax Rates, Inequality and the 1%
A recent report from the Congressional Budget Office (CB0) says, "The share of income received by the top 1% grew from about 8% in 1979 to over 17% in 2007."
This news caused quite a stir, feeding the left's obsession with inequality. Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson, for example, said this "jaw‐dropping report" shows "why the Occupy Wall Street protests have struck such a nerve." The New York Times opined that the study is "likely to have a major impact on the debate in Congress over the fairness of federal tax and spending policies."
But here's a question: Why did the report stop at 2007? The CBO didn't say, although its report briefly acknowledged — in a footnote — that "high income taxpayers had especially large declines in adjusted gross income between 2007 and 2009."
No kidding. Once these two years are brought into the picture, the share of after‐tax income of the top 1% by my estimate fell to 11.3% in 2009 from the 17.3% that the CBO reported for 2007.
The larger truth is that recessions always destroy wealth and small business incomes at the top. Perhaps those who obsess over income shares should welcome stock market crashes and deep recessions because such calamities invariably reduce "inequality." Of course, the same recessions also increase poverty and unemployment.
The latest cyclical destruction of top incomes has been unusually deep and persistent, because fully 43.7% of top earners' incomes in 2007 were from capital gains, dividends and interest, with another 17.1% from small business. Since 2007, capital gains on stocks and real estate have often turned to losses, dividends on financial stocks were slashed, interest income nearly disappeared, and many small businesses remain unprofitable.
The incomes that top earners report to the IRS have long been tightly linked to the ups and downs of capital gains. Changes in the tax law in 1986, for example, evoked a remarkable response — with capital gains accounting for an extraordinary 47.7% of top earners' reported income as investors rushed to cash in gains before the capital gains tax rose to 28%.
That was obviously temporary, but the subsequent slowdown in realized gains lasted a decade. Taxable gains accounted for only 16.7% of the top earners' income between 1987 and 1996. And the paucity of realized capital gains kept the top earners' share of income flat.
When the top capital gains tax fell to 20% in 1997 and remained there until 2002, realized capital gains rose to 25.4% of the top earners' income, and it explained much of the surge of their income share to 15.5% in 2000. Stock gains were more modest from 2003 to 2007, yet the tax rate on profitable trades was down to 15%, so realized capital gains rose to 26.7% of income reported by the top 1%.
True enough, capital gains are not the whole story, and the CBO's report, "Trends in the Distribution of Household Income Between 1979 and 2007," notes that "business income was the fastest growing source of income for the top 1 percent." But that too was a behavioral response to lower tax rates.
In 1988, business income jumped to 16.5% of the reported income of the top 1%, from 8.2% in 1986. Why? As the CBO explains, "many C corporations… were converted to S corporations which pass corporate income through to their shareholders where it is taxed under the individual income tax."
The CBO estimates top incomes from individual tax returns. So it looked like a big spurt in top income in 1988 when thousands of businesses switched to reporting income on individual rather than corporate returns as the top individual tax rate dropped to 28% from 50%.
In reality, it was just a switching between tax forms to take advantage of the lower individual tax rate. Such tax‐induced switching from corporate to individual tax forms in 1986 – 1988 makes it illegitimate to compare top income shares between 1979 and 2007.
After the tax rate on dividends fell to 15% in 2003 from 35%, the share of income reported by top earners from dividends doubled to 8.4% in 2007 from 4.2% in 2002, according to similar tax‐based estimates from economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez. Top earners held more dividend‐paying stocks in taxable accounts rather than in tax‐exempt bonds, or they kept dividends in tax‐free retirement accounts.
In short, what the Congressional Budget Office presents as increased inequality from 2003 to 2007 was actually evidence that the top 1% of earners report more taxable income when tax rates are reduced on dividends, capital gains and businesses filing under the individual tax code.
If Congress raises top individual tax rates much above the corporate rate, many billions in business income would rapidly vanish from the individual tax returns the CBO uses to measure the income of the top 1%. Small businesses and professionals would revert to reporting most income on corporate tax returns as they did in 1979.
If Congress raises top tax rates on capital gains and dividends, the highest income earners would report less income from capital gains and dividends and hold more tax‐exempt bonds. Such tax policies would reduce the share of reported income of the top earners almost as effectively as the recession the policies would likely provoke. The top 1% would then pay a much smaller portion of federal income taxes, just as they did in 1979. And the other 99% would pay more. As the CBO found, "the federal income tax was notably more progressive in 2007 than in 1979."

President Signs 2007 Defense Authorization Act
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, 2006 The fiscal 2007 National Defense Authorization Act provides more than $530 billion to maintain the military in the shape it must be to win the war on terror.
(PressZoom) - President Bush signed the bill, officially called the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, during a small ceremony in the Oval Office this morning. Warner is Virginias senior senator and the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The act provides $462.8 billion in budget authority for the department. Senate and House conferees added the $70 billion defense supplemental budget request to the act, so overall, the act authorizes $532.8 billion for fiscal 2007.
The $70 billion supplemental provision covers the cost of ongoing operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa, as well as other expenses affiliated with the war on terrorism. The supplemental funding also provides $23.8 billion to help reset Army and Marine Corps equipment, which is wearing out faster than originally planned because of the war.
The supplemental measure further provides $2.1 billion for the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Task Force, $1.7 billion to train and equip Iraqi security forces and $1.5 billion to help train and equip Afghan security forces.
The authorization act provides a 2.2 percent pay raise for American servicemembers, effective Jan. 1. It continues the Army at its end-strength of 512,400 and raises the Marine Corps end-strength to 180,000. The Army National Guard end strength is set at 350,000.
The act authorizes the expansion of eligibility for the Tricare health care program to all members of the Selected Reserve while in a non-active-duty status and their families. Payment is set at 28 percent of the premium amount established by DoD. The act also prohibits any increase in Tricare Prime and Tricare Select Reserve in fiscal 2007.
The act authorizes $36.6 billion for operations and maintenance costs, including $700 million for body armor and $149.5 million for ammunition.
The act authorizes construction of seven warships, including the next-generation destroyer and the amphibious assault replacement ship. The act also provides $794 million in advance procurement authority for the next generation aircraft carrier, the CVN-21.
The act sets aside $4.4 billion for 22 C-17 Globemaster III airlifters, $1.4 billion for procurement of 14 Marine V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft and $1.5 billion for 43 MH-60R/S helicopters.
The act authorizes $841 million for 122 Stryker combat vehicles, including $41.5 million to replace combat losses. The act also provides $1.4 billion for 20 F/A-22 Raptor fighters and reduced funding for the F-35 Lightning II fighter due to schedule delays.

Struggle to be
I struggle to be — yesterday, today, and tomorrow, not unlike what came before. The days seem to run into each other, like merging clouds and only yesterday, a moment ago, it seems like I was nineteen.
There was a place inside me back then, an unknown area, I went to when I started this time in prison decades ago. A place inside I did not know existed, or know now how I naturally went there each time some new prison horror, rule, or behavior required me to go to this spot.
Like everyone, everywhere in the world, upon awakening each morning I struggle to be who I am. I try to avoid the omnipresent thoughts of loneliness, boredom, death, and aloneness that are enhanced ten-fold in prison. But the thoughts keep coming.
The graying grass and dwarfed flowers have been cut and rolled under by pounds of steel. A few bees are busy seeking to pollinate the remaining damaged flowers and bring them back to life. They suckle out what is left in the bulbs.
From a barred, thick-thin, plastic window on the backside of the cell, I can see rock doves, geese, turkeys, and a couple of huge black birds — crows — poised on the edge of silence. There are only marble -sized spots in the window I can see out of, and then only if I twist and strain my eyes and body. I see out of the window where the rain has washed away some of the paint that darkens the window in the colorless wall. I hope there will be an angle for the sun to blink in through the window and share some hope.
Why can't we live our dreams, each being in their own niche? Where loneliness and despair are like far away stars, a million light years from here. Where love, peace, and kindness bloom like sunflowers. Why must life be a dream, a moment, a utopia, a puff of smoke? Oh why must a wildflower wither and go away when the sun forever shines?
Standing in the same spot each morning, I struggle to be who I am for a day, for a moment. At dusk, the red-headed black turkey vultures appear circling closer and closer, like soft flowing kites, not once flapping their wings.
Still, I am in awe of small things: baby sparrows, crows, geese, spiders, black birds, cow birds, rock doves, and baby flowers. They make me smile, like the lovely spider's web in the corner of the art room window and the daddy long-legs spiders in the cage outside the art room where I sit and play my Native American flute.
The sweet sunrays of winter, summer, spring, and fall warm my heart. Looking at a transparent moon in a daylight sky makes me hope. It all makes me wonder about nothing in particular. No language is required and no reason.

Google May Be Up to Something Bigger Than We Can Imagine
Google May Be Up to Something Bigger Than We Can Imagine
This is an odd blog for me as it is just the sharing of a nagging idea that I have. Google is one of the all time smartest companies in history, so why are they taking on Microsoft in the Operating System (OS) market? I think the answer is somewhere around the idea that Google is trying (successfully I might add) to get Microsoft's attention while Google quietly works on something that is so big, yet so simple, that they want to keep the eyes of Microsoft focused on their OS R&D and away from their other project(s).
One of my personal theories is that Google is working on a simple business intelligence platform that will be distributed freely and interface directly with their Google search algorithm. This platform is exactly what marketing gurus have been looking for, sort of like the Holy Grail.

Many international correspondents in China believe reporting conditions have worsened over the past year, according to a new survey by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of China that also finds the Chinese government has "increasingly resorted to threats and intimidation against foreign media."
The FCCC's annual survey, distributed by email this week, notes that that the past year "has seen unprecedented examples of investigative journalism by western reporters in China." (A PDF of the survey is here.) But many correspondents report heightened tensions as well. Of the 98 respondents to the survey, 70 percent said that working conditions have worsened or stayed the same as compared to the previous year. The journalists' list of complaints was telling:
- Government retaliation against foreign media that have incurred official displeasure
- Threats to the physical safety of reporters whose reports have offended the authorities
- Increased cyber harassment and hacking attacks on foreign journalists
- Continuing restrictions on journalists' movements in Tibetan-inhabited areas of China
- Official harassment of sources
- Official intimidation of reporters' Chinese assistants
The full report is worth reading. It's not pretty.

What I like most about the Interbike International Trade Expo, which took place in Las Vegas, Sept. 22-24, is the chance to meet and talk to fellow cyclists. It was a pleasure to meet a few of the show's luminaries — Gary Erickson and Kit Crawford (Clif Bar/Luna owners) and Bob Roll, who needs no introduction.
What would the Interbike folks do without Clif Bar, PowerBar, GU, and the other food supplement companies? Starve! We thank them for their hospitality.
It's also a place for companies to show their latest products and build some industry buzz. While I haven't been to Interbike since the 1980s, my Rip Van Winkle appearance gives me some perspective on how the bike industry has changed.
Refined bike industry
I saw a refined industry spanning a more diverse cycling audience, with fewer of the Mom and Pop inventors. As one bike shop owner told me recently, the days of the hobbyist starting a shop on a lark are over. Competition is fierce. A sound business plan is required. The same goes for inventing new products.
The bike industry is weathering the economic downturn, which in some instances may even help as people look for more affordable ways to get to work, and those who are unemployed have more time for riding.
Global recession
So what better place to have a bike show than Las Vegas — the poster child for the global recession, with its enormous half-finished casino/condo projects lining The Strip, and unemployment pushing 15 percent. Instead of seeing bleary-eyed gamblers slumped over slot machines, I saw dozens of runners pounding the pavement in the early morning hours on Las Vegas Blvd., and Interbike attendees riding around on bikes. What's the world coming to?
With the huge Sands Convention Center as the backdrop for Interbike, I zeroed in on the part of the bike industry I care about most — cycling as a way of life, down-to-earth (affordable) bikes, and my one weakness — cyclometers.
By the way, Interbike is one of 60 U.S. trade shows owned by the Nielsen company (as in Nielsen TV ratings). Nielsen has annual revenues of more than $5 billion.
Two days later, with a sore back and feet from walking the halls, I'm ready to post some of what I saw. Stay tuned.

- I am happy to announce that the "baby sister" of this blog is created! As I told you, this new blog is not at all about culinary experiences. I've often regretted not to know the city I live in better. So I'm going to visit Paris, take pictures, and every day, photo by photo, you'll be able to visit with me. During the week-ends, it will be more relaxing with beautiful sceneries of the French countryside, that my friend Claire will be sharing with you. The blog's name is Country and the City, and I hope you'll visit regularly. Tell us if you like it!
- Back to the kitchen, and this is the second week of the Summer Fest 2009. This event is "a four-week celebration of fresh-from-the-garden food: recipes, growing tips, even tricks for storing and preserving summer's best".
The co-creators of this event are : Maragret from A Way to Garden, Matt Armendariz of Mattbites, Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen, and Todd and Diane of White on Rice Couple, with guest appearances from Shauna and Daniel Ahern of Gluten-Free Girl, Simmer Till Done's Marilyn Pollack Naron, and Paige Smith Orloff of The Sister Project.
This week is (almost was, as, once again, I'm waiting for the last days to finally post these!!)dedicated to stone fruit.
In our garden, we have had difficulties with stone fruits. I love spring time, when the apricot tree and the cherry tree are blossoming. They have these small pale pink and white flowers, and when the wind blows, it looks like it's snowing. Just for that, it is worth having them. But, as you can see, our cherry tree is not very prolific. The roses climbing in the tree is much more!
For 4 individual clafoutis
1 pound summer fruits (cherries, apricots, peaches...)
2 eggs
3 Tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar + 2 Tbsp
3 Tbsp flour or cornstarch
1/3 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Grease the 4 ramekins with butter and sprinkle with a tablespoon sugar. Arrange the fruits inside.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a bowl, mix together the eggs with the sugar and the vanilla extract. Add eggs and butter. Add and mix in half flour, then cream. Add remaining flour and milk. Make sure there are no lump.
Pour on the fruits and bake for 40 minutes. Five minutes before the ending, sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon sugar.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Clafoutis aux fruits d'été
Pour 4 clafoutis
500g de fruits (cerises, abricots, prunes, pêches)
2 oeufs
35g de beurre fondu
13 cl de lait
13 cl de crème liquide
50g de sucre + 2 cuillères à soupe
20g de farine ou de maizena
60g d'amandes en poudre
1/2 cuillère d'extrait naturel de vanille
Beurrez 4 ramequins et saupoudrez avec une cuillère de sucre. Disposez les fruits dans ces 4 plats.
Préchauffez le four à 180°.
Dans une jatte, fouettez les oeufs avec le sucre et la vanille. Ajoutez les amandes en poudre et le beurre, puis alternez avec la farine, le lait et la crème en mélangeant à chaque fois pour éviter la formation de grumeaux.
Versez cet appareil sur les fruits et faites cuire 40 minutes. Cinq minutes avant la fin de la cuisson, saupoudrez d'une dernière cuillère de sucre.
Servez tiède ou à température ambiante.

Music has once again reached a point of predictability. Bands are all sounding the same and people's interest in music is starting to become material. In the midst of this sprawl comes a band that brings back the very thing that makes people love music.
Static Thought is a punk band from the East Bay of San Francisco. They are here to bring back the integrity and originality that music has long since lost.
Static Thought proves this with their 2nd album The Motive For Movement. Static Thought separates from the wash of generic punk rock with an original sound that is unlike any band today. By creatively blending different styles of punk and creating skillful songs and great hooks, the band is able to keep the listener interested from beginning to the end.
Static Thought is a punk band that is influenced by all styles of music. AC/DC, Van Halen, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Toots and the Maytals, Metallica, The Police, Tom Waits, Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden and many others are major influences to the band. "People listen to music because it touches a nerve that nothing else does. Because of that, each style has something to offer."
Static Thought are trying to change the world in a more direct way. "I became a punk because I always felt like I didn't fit in with my peers. Punk Rock became an outlet for my aggression and a place that shared many of my ideals. I think there are a lot of serious issues that people are unaware of in the punk scene; such as sexism, ignorance, and lack of self-control. All ages venues across the country are shutting down as a result of this. People need to realize that the meaningless destruction that occurs is ruining our scene. There's no better way to take your anger out on something than running around like a mad man in the pit or going down to your neighborhood protest."
Static Thought believes that ideas are more important than a fashion, and certain integrity is more important than showing off ones wealth. They are here to change things so there might be a future for the next generation of outcasts like ourselves. Now is the time for us all to be apart of the Movement.

#Bankruptcy #auto #loans
One of the most common questions we receive about car loans for bad credit is:
Is it actually possible to get an auto loan for bad credit, even a very bad score, or maybe even no credit at all? If so, what s the catch? Thousands of people looking for car loans for bad credit purchase vehicles every day, so it s definitely possible! The reasons are pretty simple:
In a down economy, where more and more people are experiencing credit challenges (bad credit), banks must become less strict in their lending requirements in order to continue business. A auto loan for bad credit may not have the same interest rate as a car loan on great credit, but banks and dealerships have had to become more competitive because the number of individuals with "perfect credit" is dropping year after year.
This means that your car is collateral, and banks are much more willing to finance an auto loan for bad credit because of this. While they won't admit it, banks realize that a bad credit score doesn't mean you won't pay your bills. In some cases, an individual who has recently filed bankruptcy is in a better position financially to make their payment than someone who has a higher credit score! They also know that a car loan is also a great way to improve your credit. If you have a good payment history, a bank will want to maintain your business, hopefully giving you more loan opportunities in the future because of your good history.
In a new car franchise, it is sometimes more important to sell a car than it is to make a huge profit on that car. Car manufacturers pay dealers incentives based on the number of cars they sell, not what they sell them for. The more cars sold, the larger the incentives become. Some dealers are willing to sell the car at cost, or even below cost, which makes financing the car much easier. Some dealers will even finance the car in-house, giving people looking for car loans for bad credit or people with severe credit problems loan opportunities that they wouldn't have any where else.

LONDON, July 2 (UPI) -- Top-seeded defending champion Novak Djokovic and six-time winner Roger Federer each moved to the quarterfinals at rainy Wimbledon with Monday victories.
Djokovic had little trouble against his opponent, Serbian Davis Cup teammate Viktor Troicki, dismantling him 6-3, 6-1, 6-3. The world No. 1 broke his countryman's serve six times and controlled the match from start to finish.
The Serb superstar gained his 13th straight Grand Slam quarterfinal and Wednesday will face winner of a match-up between No. 18 seed Richard Gasquet and 31st-seeded Florian Mayer.
Mayer was leading Gasquet 6-3, 2-1 when play was called for the day.
Third-seeded Federer, meanwhile, logged a 7-6 (7-1), 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 decision over Belgian Xavier Malisse in a 2-hour, 11-minute match that had a brief rain delay.
Federer was treated for an aching back while holding a 4-3 lead in the first set. He later said his back was OK.
It was the 850th win of the 30-year-old Swiss star's career and marked the 33rd straight time he has reached the quarters in a Grand Slam.
Federer's next foe will be the 26th seed, Russian veteran Mikhail Youzhny, who advanced with a hard-fought 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 7-5 win over Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin.
Federer is trying for his first win in a major since the 2010 Australian Open.
The rain disrupted play frequently at during the men's fourth-round schedule Monday at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, causing five other men's fourth-round matches to be suspended or postponed.
In those match-ups, No. 4 seed Andy Murray was leading 16th-seeded Croat Marin Cilic 7-5, 3-1; and 10th-seeded American Mardy Fish was ahead of No. 5 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France 6-4, 1-1.
Washed out altogether were matches between seventh-seeded Spaniard David Ferrer and ninth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina and 27th-seeded German Philipp Kohlschreiber and American qualifier Brian Baker.

Stem cell manufacturers need platforms in a variety of media, including standard media, specialty cell culture media, and non-animal origin supplements that support a safe and sustainable supply of their cell therapy products.
Using a recombinant enzyme like CellPrime® rTrypsin, cells can be efficiently detached from the microcarrier and then quickly separated when processed through a normal flow filtration-based microcarrier separation device.
To ensure commercial success, manufacturers must optimize their processes and abide by strict regulatory documentation requirements. Merck provides a comprehensive Regulatory Information Package for each cell culture media. This package simplifies the registration processes and includes, among others, a Certificate of Analysis, GMP Statement or TSE/BSE Certificate.
Merck also assists in development of analytical methods, transfer of analytic procedures, and consulting on other analytical methods for individual media and applications. In addition, independent on-site analytics are available to optimize and troubleshoot existing processes.
