breakfast and brunch
felicia's entry on it, i told myself i HAD to make it. hers look really really good! the truth is, this one is cake-like too but better than my previous. i'm wondering if i shd hv underbaked it a little but nonetheless its really delicious, with or without the sauce and ice cream. and OMG, i finally succeeded in scooping a one-spoon ice cream quenelle, much to my delight :D i've always wanted to scoop a quenelle coz its really elegant but the two-spoon method don't quite cut it for me. after much practice, i can safely say - i'm getting there!!
멸치볶음 (myeolchi bokkeum)having made quite a few korean dishes now, there's no way to leave out the banchans. out of the so many varieties, one of my favorite would have to be this - myeolchi (myulchi) bokkeum or spicy anchovies. doused with a sweet, spicy and sticky sauce, i would be happy to have it with rice alone without any other dishes to go along. its that addictive! its also very easy to make, usually under 10 mins and i've made this quite a couple of times now. there's the non-spicy version as well but gimme the spicy one anytime!
this recipe i knew i had to try it. fruit salad is common but the moment i read that it uses grand marnier, my favorite orange liqueur, i was sold!

Disposing of Old Computers
| Posted in Bank Blogs
(Federal Trade Commission Consumer Information)
Getting rid of your old computer? You can ensure its hard drive doesn't become a treasure chest for identity thieves. Use a program that overwrites or wipes the hard drive many times. Or remove the hard drive, and physically destroy it.
Understand Your Hard Drive
Computers often hold personal and financial information, including:
- passwords
- account numbers
- license keys or registration numbers for software programs
- addresses and phone numbers
- medical and prescription information
- tax returns
- files created automatically by browsers and operating systems
When you save a file, especially a large one, it is scattered around the hard drive in bits and pieces. When you open a file, the hard drive gathers the bits and pieces and reconstructs them.
When you delete a file, the links to reconstruct the file disappear. But the bits and pieces of the deleted file stay on your computer until they're overwritten, and they can be retrieved with a data recovery program. To remove data from a hard drive permanently, the hard drive needs to be wiped clean.
How to Clean a Hard Drive
Before you clean a hard drive, save the files you want to keep to:
- a USB drive
- a CD-ROM
- an external hard drive
- a new computer
Check your owner's manual, the manufacturer's website, or its customer support service for information on how to save data and transfer it to a new computer.
Utility programs to wipe a hard drive are available both online and in stores where computers are sold. These programs generally are inexpensive; some are available on the Internet for free. These programs vary:
- Some erase the entire disk, while others allow you to select files or folders to erase.
- Some overwrite or wipe the hard drive many times, while others overwrite it only once.
Consider using a program that overwrites or wipes the hard drive many times; otherwise, the deleted information could be retrieved. Or remove the hard drive, and physically destroy it.
If you use your home or personal computer for business purposes, check with your employer about how to manage the information on your computer that's business-related. The law requires businesses to follow data security and disposal requirements for certain information that's related to customers.
How to Dispose of Your Computer
Recycle it. Many computer manufacturers have programs to recycle computers and components. Check their websites or call their toll-free numbers for more information. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has information about electronic product recycling programs. Your local community may have a recycling program, too. Check with your county or local government, including the local landfill office for regulations.
Donate it. Many organizations collect old computers and donate them to charities.
Resell it. Some people and organizations buy old computers. Check online.
Remember, most computer equipment contains hazardous materials that don't belong in a landfill. For example, many computers have heavy metals that can contaminate the earth. The EPA recommends that you check with your local health and sanitation agencies for ways to dispose of electronics safely.

Lamprey Larva (Ammocoetes)
The larval stage of the primitive lamprey, known as an ammocoetes larva, serves to illustrate the much-maligned concept of ontogeny recapitulating phylogeny by resembling the more primitive chordate, Amphioxus, in morphology and behavior. The ammocoetes displays many characteristics of ancient chordates, and shared embryological traits of the vertebrates including gill slits, a notochord, myomeres (body muscle segments), a dorsal nerve cord, a dorsal fin, and a primitive nervous system with a brain and eyes. Originally described in Europe, Ammocoetes was at first incorrectly believed to be a separate genus of the Cyclostomata (lampreys and hagfish).
As a filter feeder on drifting plankton and detritus, the ammocoetes has an enlarged pharynx that operates with the seven pairs of gill slits. In the larval lamprey, a spiral valve (or typhlosole) makes a few spirals over the entire length of the intestine and acts to lengthen the time that digesting food travels the intestine, thus increasing enzyme action periods and providing additional epithelial surface for absorption. The typhlosole of the ammocoetes and adult lamprey is not as pronounced as it is in sharks and other cartilaginous and lower bony fishes. Resembling a small eel, the larval lamprey can remain concealed in the sediments of rivers and estuaries from 7 to 17 years, thus its name derived from the Greek ammos for sand and koites for dwelling (sand dwellers). Burrows are detectable as funnel shaped depressions, and in shallow, clear, flowing springs and brooks, the ammocoete will often expose its head with its buccal cavity and gills oriented into the current. Throughout the larval stage, there is a passive downstream migration of ammocoetes leading to maturity, and in some species, parasitism.
Parasitic species of lampreys can cause severe economic damage to sport and commercial fisheries, particularly where they have been introduced via artificial canals and locks (such as the upper Great Lakes). Although the adults are very hard to kill without harming the hosts, the free-living ammocoetes, often found burrowing into the sandy or muddy substrates, are vulnerable to pesticides especially designed to target them (the lampricides: 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol and niclosamide). Most species of lamprey are anadromous with the ammocoetes stage being a fresh or brackish water phase, while the adults are often adapted for the osmotic demands of marine living. In the transformation from larval to adult stage, the parasitic species develop horny teeth, a sucking disk, and round jaws characteristic of the groups name, the cyclostomes, and switch from filter feeding to feeding on blood and other bodily fluids of fish hosts.

Guitar Hero 5, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, New Tony Hawk Controller Confirmed by Activision
According to MTV, Call of Duty 6 is now known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and is slated to arrive in fall 2009. As previously revealed, series creator and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare veteran Infinity Ward will return for the latest entry.
Furthermore, an in-game shot of Guitar Hero 5 was shown in a demonstration of Massive's in-game advertising strategy for Activision, showing a "Burger King ad to the right of the note highway." Past Guitar Hero games have used similar in-game ads.
Activision also confirmed rumors that the next Tony Hawk title will be played using some type of peripheral rather than with a controller. The skateboarding game will hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and DS in October.
An original James Bond racing title from Project Gotham Racing developer Bizarre Creations was also announced, and is set to debut next September. Bizarre is also working on an original racing title, described by Activision as "Mario Karts meets Forza."

Restoring the Years the Locusts Have Eaten
"And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten." Joel 2:25
Hosea had a wife whose name was Gomer. She not only committed immorality, but she finally ended up as a prostitute on the street.
In the strength of the Lord, Hosea went to her, reclaimed her, forgave her, remarried her and restored her as his bride. What a picture of the restoration of our Lord with us!
God has promised to restore us from all the pains of our past, the heartaches from broken relationships, the struggles from defeat, and the frustrations of our lives. All the times that we've felt broken beyond repair, God has promised to restore.
God is in the business of restoring His children into beautiful works of His holiness.
Is there someone in your life who has wandered from the faith and felt the abandonment of friends and family? If so, go to that person today and encourage them in the love of Jesus.

Many people are drawn to the mysterious deep blue of lapis lazuli, or lapis for short. It is one of the oldest "spiritual" stones, first mined six thousand years ago in Afghanistan—the finest stones still come from that area. Its name comes from the Latin word lapis, meaning "stone," and the Arabic word azul, which means "blue." In addition, it has been noted the Persian word lazhward means blue and could possibly be another origin of the name. But whatever its origin, lapis is a wonderful stone rich in folklore and metaphysical tradition.
Before you buy a piece of lapis, it's useful to know something about its content to ensure you obtain a good quality specimen. Lapis is a rock consisting mostly of the mineral lazurite and commonly contains pyrite and calcite, among other minerals. It sometimes has a greenish or violet tint and the presence of pyrite often creates lovely metallic sparkles on the surface. Calcite sometimes produces white streaks in the stone. Well-formed crystals of pure lazurite are rare and valuable. Lazurite is sometimes confused with lazulite but they are different minerals; lazurite is softer and lighter. In addition, azurite is very similar in color to lapis, but is also a different mineral that is associated with malachite. Sodalite is a similar blue stone, but it lacks the occurrence of pyrite. Varieties of Chilean lapis contain more calcite; the Afghanistan variety contains pyrite and is more highly prized.
Lapis has been used in ornamental decoration for thousands of years. The Egyptians crushed it and used it to decorate their eyelids. It was also ground and used for paint. In Egypt lapis was used mainly by royalty and priests, and it is believed that the sapphire referred to in the Bible was actually lapis lazuli. Lapis is often worn as talismans and used in inlaid work and ornaments. The Romans believed it was an aphrodisiac.
Lapis is associated with the astrological signs of Sagittarius and Libra and the planets of Neptune and Venus. Reputed to be a stone for teachers, lapis has many useful magical properties. It has been referred to as a stone of awareness and wisdom and may be used to enhance creativity. Its gift of insight is useful in divination—it is useful to keep a small piece of lapis with Tarot decks—and lapis aids in understanding and psychic work. Other areas of use include the throat and brow chakras, overcoming depression and balancing yin and yang energies. Lapis is a protective stone, both from physical danger and psychic attacks.
Lapis is probably most well-known metaphysically for its use to promote psychic awareness. To aid in achieving meditative states such as trance and other altered states of consciousness, hold a piece of lapis in your hand to accompany visualization or whatever other technique you prefer. Or you can use the stone as a focal point and concentrate on its deep blue color.
Lapis Lazuli is fairly soft, so it should not be soaked in water for a long period of time. After cleansing, dry the stone immediately. Also take care if you wear lapis jewelry and remove it before swimming. Lapis is an expensive stone but good quality small pieces can be found for just a few dollars. Visit rock and gem shops or check with local geology clubs or rock and mineral organizations. With its striking beauty and metaphysical properties, lapis is an essential stone for any collection.

Up Close and Personal With George W. Bush's Horrifying LegacyThe Iraq disaster remains George W. Bush's enduring folly, and the Republican attempt to shift the blame to the Obama presidency is obscene nonsense.
The Iraq disaster remains George W. Bush's enduring folly, and the Republican attempt to shift the blame to the Obama presidency is obscene nonsense. This was, and will always be, viewed properly as Bush's quagmire, a murderous killing field based on blatant lies.
This showcase of American deceit, obvious to the entire world, began with the invented weapons of mass destruction threat that Bush, were he even semi-cognizant of the intelligence data, must have known represented an egregious fraud. So was his nonsensical claim that Saddam Hussein had something to do with the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, when in fact he was Osama bin Laden's most effective Arab opponent.
Yet Bush responded to the 9/11 attacks by overthrowing a leader who had banished al-Qaida from Iraq and who had been an ally of the United States in the war to contain Iran's influence in the region. Instead of confronting the funders of Sunni extremism based in Saudi Arabia, the home of 15 of the 19 hijackers and their Saudi leader bin Laden, Bush chose to attack the secular leader of Iraq. That invasion, as the evidence of the last week confirms, resulted in an enormous boon to both Sunni extremists and their militant Shiite opponents throughout the Mideast.
How pathetic that Secretary of State John Kerry is now reduced to begging the ayatollahs of Iran to come to the aid of their brethren in Iraq. Or that the movement to overthrow the secular leader of Syria, a movement supported by the United States, has resulted in a base for Sunni terrorists in Iraq and Syria of far greater consequence than the one previously used to plot the 9/11 attacks from isolated Afghanistan.
Imagine if Barack Obama had succumbed to his critics' demands that he supply the insurgents in Syria with sophisticated weaponry? Those weapons would now be turned against the fragmenting Iraqi army that the United States trained at an enormous cost. Or if he had chosen military confrontation with Iran instead of diplomacy in dealing with Iran's nuclear program, leaving the Shiite leaders of Iraq squeezed between enemies on two fronts. The elected government in Iraq has a chance to survive only because Obama gave peace a chance in choosing to negotiate with the government of Iran.
The only error Obama made in ending the U.S. military role in Iraq was not moving fast enough to disengage from Bush's nation-building fantasies. Where is the evidence that it ever works, particularly in the Mideast? The United States has backed the military ruling class in Egypt for more than three decades, and the instant the much-hoped-for transition to democracy appeared, those same corrupt generals scurried for safety to the embrace of oil drenched Saudi religious fanatics. Libya's Moammar Gadhafi is now gone, only to be replaced by militants given to an even harsher brand of oppression. Yet a bipartisan consensus of Washington politicians still believes that the overthrow of the secular leader of Syria is somehow consistent with the proclaimed goals of the war on terrorism.
It obviously isn't, as the anti-Assad Sunni militants who now freely cross the border from Syria to Iraq waving flags in support of al-Qaida have attested. It is further evidence that dealing with terrorism in militaristic battle terms rather than as a social pathology to be treated as an illness is a dangerous diversion. The war on terrorism is as irrational a concept as a war on cancer or the flu in that it assumes that the military arsenal is the deciding factor when it never is, for long.
The seeds of radical discontent throughout the world, but particularly in the Mideast, derive from myriad complex and intertwined causes. In this region, the obvious sources of tension in religious grievances, stagnant economies and frustrated nationalism — as with the obviously legitimate demands of Palestinians and Kurds — have been wildly exacerbated down through the centuries by the imperial ambitions of non-regional actors. Those prisoners of imperial hubris always underestimated the resilience of the occupied and came to believe their own lies about being crusaders for enlightenment.
That is a dangerous delusion energetically asserted by the Paul Wolfowitzes and Dick Cheneys even now, as their mad schemes for a reinvented Mideast spectacularly disintegrate. In their minds, it is still deeply felt that if only Obama had stayed the course of occupation, we would be greeted as liberators, while our corporations quietly sucked up their oil.
Presidential candidate Obama made clear his contempt for that neocon pipe dream. Once elected, in regard to winding down the Iraq War, he has not strayed far from that conviction, and on this he much deserves our support. This is so even if it means going through the next decades of our political life arguing about "Who Lost Iraq?" the way we once argued about "Who Lost China?" — ignoring that neither country was truly ours to lose.

Herpes is a virus that can cause sores on the skin. There are two types of the virus. Depending on how you come in contact with the virus, either type can cause outbreaks near the mouth or on the sex organs.
Herpes reproduces only when it is inside the body. It does so by tricking a healthy cell into producing copies of the herpes virus. Each copy can infect nearby cells. But, before too long, the body's defenses rally to stop the attack. The immune system forces the virus to retreat. For some people, an acute outbreak never happens again. For others, menstruation, illness, poor diet, fatigue, or stress makes outbreaks more likely.
The herpes virus enters the body through a small break in the skin. The virus can also enter by direct contact with mucous membranes, such as those of the lips, vagina, or anus.
Inside the body, the herpes virus binds to a special site on a skin cell. Then part of the virus moves into the cell.
Inside the skin cell, the virus releases a set of instructions. These commands cause the cell to begin making copies of the herpes virus.
Herpes blisters appear on the skin. Herpes blisters may also appear on mucous membranes lining the mouth, vagina, or anus.

text: Israeli settlements are not the main obstacle to peace and their prospective limited expansion does not preclude the eventual emergence of a Palestinian state, according to a Washington Post editorial published on Wednesday.In "Overheated rhetoric on Israeli settlements," the paper's editors denounced as "counterproductive" the international community's incessant criticism of Israeli plans to build thousands of housing units across the Green Line, primarily in Jerusalem, as doing so "reinforces two mistaken but widely held notions: that the settlements are the principal obstacle to a deal and that further construction will make a Palestinian state impossible."But the paper's editorial board came out against any unilateral action, whether on the part of Israel or the Palestinians, which "complicate[s] the negotiations that are the only realistic route to a Middle East peace."console.log("BODY2. CatId is:"+catID);if(catID==120){console.log("BODY.

Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace, said this will enable 80 percent of Israeli settlers to be incorporated into Green Line Israel as part of a peace deal through agreed upon land swaps approximating 4% of the West Bank – or less than the 5% proposed by US president Bill Clinton 12 years ago.With respect to plans to build in E1 in particular, the Washington Post attributed Israel's motivation to the desire to "prevent Ma'aleh Adumim – which will almost certainly be annexed to Israel in any peace deal – from being isolated"; which "is the same reason the Palestinians claim that Israeli annexation of the land would cut off their would-be capital in east Jerusalem from the West Bank."Accordingly, the paper believes that the status of E1 "is a difficult issue that should be settled at the negotiating table, not by fiat," and that it is "hardly the 'almost fatal blow' to a two-state solution that UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon described." The editorial also emphasizes the hypocrisy of such rhetoric at the same time the Security Council is doing nothing to halt the slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians in Syria.

You ever go through a day and wonder where has all the time gone?
It's become one of those days that even if I cloned myself there would still not be enough time to get everything done. I am sitting here taking a breather while wolfing down lunch just to type this while on another window trying to answer all my emails. It's a repetitive vicious cycle that never seems to end. On one side I feel as if I'm all caught up and raring to go as if I'm pumped up on Viagra and Red Bull, and then on the other I'm all limp as a wet noodle running in quicksand and just can't get invigorated enough to jump over the hump. My brain feels like a bowl of jello, and not one of the good flavors. More like that green lime monstrosity that no one really seems to like. Maybe I need a mental health day soon. A day to chill out with a few drinks and lay in the sun. I really don't take enough days off. Maybe it's just me but I feel that if I take a well deserved day off now and now everything will end up as "Hell in a Handbasket". Then it's more of a shit show to deal with when I get back. I need a day soon.
Even then, as I close my eyes and let that warm sun drench my face the bluebird of happiness would probably take a seagull sized dump on my head. Isn't life swell? Continue reading Riding Hell in a Handbasket all the way to NYC

Jobs for Youth/Des Emplois pour les jeunes :
Improving the performance of youth on the labour market is a crucial challenge in OECD countries facing persistent youth unemployment. As labour markets become more and more selective, a lack of relevant skills brings a higher risk of unemployment. Whatever the level of qualification, first experiences on the labour market have a profound influence on later working life. Getting off to a good start facilitates integration and lays the foundation for a good career, while a failure can be difficult to make up.
Ensuring a good start will require co-coordinated policies to bring the education system closer to the labour market, to help disadvantaged young people to find a job or participate in a training course and to facilitate the hiring of young people by firms.
OECD has launched a series of reports on the school-to-work transition process in 16 countries, including Denmark. Each report contains a survey of the main barriers to employment for young people and an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of existing measures to improve the transition from school-to-work, and a set of policy recommendations for further action by the public authorities and social partners.
This report is based on the proceedings of a seminar and is published in English. Read the Summary also available in French.

text: Agribusiness Training Center Agriculture in Kimana, Oloitoktok in Kajiado County is set to be revolutionized as small-scale farmers in the area are empowered on modern agribusiness through the Amiran Agribusiness Training Center, officially launched to the people of Kimana by the Kajiado County Governor, Honorable David Nkedianye. The Amiran Agribusiness Training Center will allow farmers at the community level to experience practical lessons on important agricultural practices such as nursery setting, transplanting and the introduction to various seed varieties after which the farmers will be able to differentiate between seed varieties either by color, size or growth period. Proper application of agro-chemicals and correct use of fertilizers, how to effectively use drip irrigation to increase yields as well as the benefits of using greenhouses, all will be emphasized in all training. Speaking at the function the Governor explained that killing agriculture had resulted in more poverty and joblessness in the area. He revealed that the Amiran training facility will help the people in the area to know how to work with field-proven technologies that are being used around the world. Sharing the same sentiments, Oloitoktok County Commissioner Harsama Kello expressed that Kajiado County is one of the country's food baskets and by opening the Amiran Agribusiness Training Center, agriculture in the area will get a massive boost. Amiran's training module that has to date been associated with the success of Amiran Farmers is a major motivating factor to the launch of the Amiran Agribusiness Training Center. Amiran played a major role in the implementation of the Kenyans for Kenya Initiative, being tasked by the Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) to bring technologies and training to communities in areas hard-hit by the 2011 drought. Those same communities to date have undergone the Amiran training and are able to replicate what they learned at the farm level. Combining the training, high quality inputs supplied by Amiran and a strong support system from Amiran Agronomists, the people who had experienced hunger due to the drought are currently able to grow their own produce for subsistence and commercialize the surplus. Through Amiran's partnership with many other NGOs, Donor and Government Ministries, this modern knowledge is today an integrated part of more than 1000 schools and being used by youth groups and women groups across the country. These groups have benefited from the training package and as a result communities are upgrading and engaging in modern farming methods such as greenhouse farming and implementation of drip irrigation farming. Explaining the urgent need for better knowledge among farmers, Pinhas Moskovich Amiran's Managing Director said that Kenya is sitting on huge agricultural potential that will only be unlocked if information on modern farming techniques is made accessible to the public. Moskovich explained that most farms and farmers are located in rural areas thus the need to bring modern farming knowledge and techniques to the Kenyan farmers' doorstep by establishing training centers among communities. Amiran's efforts in the area of empowerment through sustainable agribusiness are in line with the famous quote: "Give a man a fish, you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish, you have fed him for a lifetime". Through such centers, Amiran plans to bolster agricultural production by developing agricultural education systems that will empower farmers in both rural and urban areas.

As a history nerd, I've often wondered what exactly it is that draws me to certain people or times. For example, I love me some medieval India, especially the Mughal Empire. Maybe it's some past life thing, who knows? But it came up again for me while wandering around the National Hispanic Cultural Center exhibition New Mexico's African American Legacy: Visible, Vital, Valuable. I was reminded of this freelance job I had a few years ago in which I wrote short biographies of notable African-Americans, anyone from John James Audubon to Charity Adams Earley, people about whom I knew nearly nothing when I started but who inspired me through their courageous actions. In the small exhibition, which is tucked into the library building at NHCC, two members of the same household highlighted as African-American founding families in New Mexico caught my eye. The first was Owen Smaulding, an Albuquerque High School student who, in 1915, was named the most outstanding athlete in the United States. Now, I'm not very sporty—I wear dress shoes and skirts when I ride my bike—so there's no shared passion for athletics that would draw me to the baseball, basketball, football and track star.His brother, Chester, however, is totally my kind of guy. Chester and his wife Corine (aka Pert) owned Chet and Pert's Flamingo Lounge, the first African-American-owned establishment in the state with a liquor license. Apparently the New Mexico Office of the State Historian is more of an Owen fan, because there isn't a drop of info about Chester or his bar on its website or anywhere else on the web, though Owen has a very small write-up. Legacy is filled with information about the Smauldings and tons of other New Mexico African-American families I knew nothing about. And that's its magic—this is one of those exhibits that teaches you things you didn't know you wanted to know.When I first wandered into the building, I headed straight for some cases filled with stuff—and I found myself disappointed. There was a display with some textiles—a couple of hats, a pair of gloves and a collage by the Myrtle Church Sister Circle and Garden Club—but no information about why they were there or what they meant to the community. Another display featured paperwork about Mable Orndorff, a teacher who came to New Mexico in the '50s to work at San Felipe Pueblo for the Bureau of Indian Affairs and who later received her master's in education from UNM. The documents are interesting as artifacts, but without more context about why Orndorff is featured, the presentation falls somewhat flat. The compelling part of Legacy is the part many people ignore: the words. Yes, those giant placards on the wall, the ones normally full of information we all overlook—they're really awesome. I want to sneak into the NHCC late at night, take them off the wall, make photocopies and take them home with me. Or I just want them published in a book somewhere so I don't have to test whether the Alibi is willing to offer up bail money for my inspired, artistic shenanigans (I'm guessing no). But seriously, the information here is the kind of thing you just can't easily find with an Internet search. People such as Dr. James Dennis, who surely had a lasting impression on the community, are featured. Dennis' contributions came in the form of editing a newspaper called Southwest Review , being one of the first licensed African-American medical doctors in the state and helping to form the New Mexico chapter of the NAACP. It's fascinating stuff, and through the research I did, I know just how buried the history and impact of African-Americans who lived during the first half of the 20 th century can be. My work ended up as a collectible set of cards advertised in Ebony magazine, a product I've never actually seen. Please, don't let that happen with the work of curators at NHCC. No matter what your heritage, you'll be inspired by the early African-American settlers who, like you, made New Mexico their home.

I was watching an episode of Big Bang Theory last night in which Sheldon and Amy were discussing how fast a meme can spread and Sheldon mentions that "Sheldon Cooper's a smelly pooper spread like wildfire". Even as I laughed out loud, it got my thinking about my own childhood nickname and while I found it humiliating at the time, it really wasn't that bad. In fact, it was very creative as nicknames given by elementary school children go.
Sheldon Cooper (the smelly pooper)
I grew up in a small town that was very sports minded. Even as a very young child I was overtly feminine. I loved my ballet class and had very feminine mannerisms. These qualities got me nicknamed Dainty. I didn't mind being called Dainty. I wore it as a badge of honour. But then came the year I turned 10. It was the mid 1970's and the big trend in hairstyles was the pyramid perm. All the girls were getting them. My Mom and I went out and got a Toni home perm kit and set to curling my poker straight hair. After the perm rods cam out, what I saw in the mirror wasn't a pyramid perm. It looked more like this…
Little Orphan Annie
The next day when I went to school, Dainty officially became AFRO DAINTY. Because I was very insecure about the way my hair had turned out, I found this new add on to my existing nickname absolutely humiliating.
When I look back on it now, it was a clever double pun. The reference to the goddess of love was more complimentary than a myriad of other references I can think of. Certainly nothing to be so ashamed of. I'd rather be called Afro Dainty than Smelly Pooper any day of the week. So I guess nicknames, like so much in life, are relative.
Feel free to use the comments section to share your childhood nicknames.

With less than a week to go, the countdown is on for the biggest food holiday of the year.
What will you be making for Thanksgiving dinner?
For me, the sizzle is in the side dishes. I could take or leave turkey, but the sides have starring roles.
Here is a selection of side dishes and desserts that I hope will float your Thanksgiving boat! Click the links to get the recipes.
APPETIZER: While everyone mills around, starving ("Mom, I am so hungry my stomach hurts!"), you just need a little something to stick in their gaping maws until the main event. These Mediterranean Deviled Eggs are the perfect flavorful appetizer. You can make them ahead of time, too.
APPETIZER: Want something a tad lighter for an appie? These Asian Citrus-Marinated Mushrooms can – and should! — be made at least a day ahead, and they are bright with citrus with just a hint of zippy pepper. They were the surprise hit of last year's meal.
CRANBERRY SAUCE: My most requested version – Best Ever Hall of Fame Cranberry Sauce – is fragrant with warm spices and orange zest. Make it this weekend — highly recommended — and it will be perfect by Thursday. Keep this around all December, too.
CRANBERRY SAUCE, PART DEUX: I often serve more than one cranberry sauce or relish to give diners an option, and this Fresh Cranberry-Ginger Relish is zippy with candied ginger and a welcome change from the usual cooked sauce. It was a contest finalist, too, so it has some serious kitchen cred.
STUFFING: Dorothy's Southwest Stuffing won 1st place in a magazine recipe contest, and may I just say it deserved the ribbon! I nicknamed this one "self-esteem stuffing" because I can count on getting raves every time I serve it. If you say, "Southwest was so '80s," you'd be right, but who cares what decade when it's delicious?
POTATO DISH: Garlic and Herb Potato Gratin doesn't get any more holiday-worthy than this easy, elegant, creamy version fragrant with garlic and parsley. Comfort food at its finest. Bonus: you can use the mandolin gadget hiding in the back of your cupboard.
CORN DISH: I don't usually serve stuffing AND potatoes AND corn (starch overload!), but I'm going to make an exception this year for this exceptionally tasty Corn with Black Garlic and Parmesan. This has umami coming out the ying yang, and that's a good thing!
SALAD: This has been the year of kale, and for good reason, both from a flavor and nutritional point of view. I have two raw kale salads that are to die for, and either one would be a fab Thanksgiving leafy green – Tuscan Kale Salad, or Raw Rainbow Kale Salad of the Gods.
PIE: With 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons pinned to it, this Coffee-Toffee Pecan Pie is a winner both objectively and subjectively. Make it yourself and see what all the fuss is about. You might need two pies.
PIE, PART DEUX: It's not Thanksgiving in the Reinhold house without a second pie. This one has a funny name – Bob Andy Pie – but sports a delicious, simple, cinnamony flavor. It also naturally layers itself while baking, for an added attraction when cutting. Everyone who tries this asks for the recipe.
TART: Technically, not a pie, but who would say no to featuring three delicious desserts? Not me! Pastry chef Kristine Bocchino's Nut and Mission Fig Tart is on my personal baking list this year. It won a 1st place in the recent Malibu Pie Contest, and I predict it will earn me dessert accolades from my family.
Hope that gives you some ideas for your own feast!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Search Company's ties to spy agency in spotlight again over real time Internet monitoring
Steve Watson
Thursday, Jul 29th, 2010
Google's cosy relationship with the U.S. spy network has once again been thrust into the spotlight as the company is reported to have jointly invested with the CIA in an Internet monitoring project that scours Twitter accounts, blogs and websites for all sorts of information, and can also "predict the future".
Google Ventures, the investment arm of Google, has injected a sum of up to $10 million, as has In-Q-Tel – which handles investments for the CIA and the wider intelligence network – into a company called Recorded Future.
The company describes its analytics as "the ultimate tool for open-source intelligence".
Wired's defence analyst, Noah Schachtman, has a detailed report on the joint venture:
"…it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents — both present and still-to-come. In a white paper, the company says its temporal analytics engine "goes beyond search" by "looking at the 'invisible links' between documents that talk about the same, or related, entities and events."
The idea is to figure out for each incident who was involved, where it happened and when it might go down. Recorded Future then plots that chatter, showing online "momentum" for any given event."
Recorded Future "continually scans thousands of news publications, blogs, niche sources, trade publications, government web sites, financial databases and more," according to it's portfolio.
It sifts through millions of posts and conversations taking place on blogs, YouTube, Twitter and Amazon to "assemble actual real-time dossiers on people."
It is also being integrated with Google Earth, which, as Schachtman points out in his piece, was seeded with In-Q-Tel/CIA investment. This integration will allow real time tracking of the locations of persons or groups as part of the overall intelligence dossier.
A promotional video shows the company's real time browser-operated data mining engine at work:
Of course, Recorded Future is sold as "terrorism analysis", however the information scouring engine clearly extends beyond that to include crime, indictments and civil court cases etc. In this context, the ability to predict "future curves" is one small step away from Minority Report policing technology. Indeed, analytics are already being used by the Memphis Police Department, whose Operation Blue CRUSH uses predictive analytics by IBM.
Recorded Future takes in vast amounts of personal information such as employment changes, personal education and family relations. The video also shows categories covering pretty much everything else, including entertainment, music and movie releases, as well as other innocuous things like patent filings and product recalls.
The news comes at the same time as revelations that the government is proposing to grant the FBI powers to force firms such as ISPs to hand over an individual's data.
We have previously reported on Google's intimate and long standing connections to government spy networks.
There is also no doubt that Google is one of the corporations at the forefront of the government's drive to use cybersecurity as a pretext for restricting the openness of the Internet, having previously worked with the NSA and the CIA.
The recent scandal involving the company's street view roaming vehicles accessing the wi-fi details of internet users and mapping their online activities has also raised serious questions over intelligence links. This latest development will only enhance those concerns.
Recorded Future also smacks of past military and intelligence projects such as Total Information Awareness and MATRIX, LifeLog and the Brain Machine Interfaces enterprise. all designed to target American citizens.

Ex-Nets Superstar Jayson Williams Freed From Rikers Island
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Retired NBA star Jayson Williams was freed from jail Friday after serving eight months for drunken driving in New York and 18 months before that in New Jersey on charges stemming from a limo driver's shooting death.
"I am eager to see my daughters, my mother and siblings and make amends for what they've been through," the former New Jersey Nets star said through his manager. "Start my life over with God being first and in the center of everything I do."
Williams drove his SUV into a tree in lower Manhattan in 2010, a week after he accepted a plea deal stemming from the 2002 shotgun death of a chauffeur in his New Jersey mansion. His manager and attorneys have said he has since attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, gone through counseling and taught Bible study.
Williams had a six-year, $86 million contract with the Nets before a leg injury forced him to retire in 2000. Two years after he left the sport, he killed driver Costas Christofi with a 12-gauge shotgun while showing it to friends, having failed to check the weapon's safety mechanism before snapping the gun closed.
Williams then wiped down the weapon and placed it in the chauffeur's hands, stripped off his own clothes, handed them to a friend and jumped into his pool, according to testimony. Williams' lawyers maintained that the shooting was an accident and that his actions were driven by panic.
The shooting marked the start of a cascade of troubles for Williams, who was promptly suspended from his post-basketball job as an NBA analyst for NBC.
While the case surrounding the shooting lingered after a 2004 mistrial on a top count, his wife filed for divorce, and police used a stun gun on him in a New York hotel after a female friend said he was acting suicidal. He was charged with assault in May 2009 after police say he punched a man in the face outside a North Carolina bar, but charges were dropped. His father also died.
Williams pleaded guilty in January 2010 to a lesser aggravated assault count in the shooting case while awaiting a retrial. Under his plea agreement, he had to serve at least 18 months in state prison because a gun was involved and up to five years for a prior conviction of trying to cover up the crime. The sentences were to run concurrent and he became eligible for parole after serving 18 months.
He was paroled from a facility in Wrightstown, N.J. in August, and was transferred to Rikers Island to serve up to a year after pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated. He was released Friday after eight months.
A first-round NBA draft pick in 1990, Williams played nine seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Nets. He averaged 10 or more rebounds a game in his final four NBA seasons and was named to an All-Star team.

Meet Amanda Hocking. She's been in the news for quite a bit now, and I've been meaning to write about her since January (or really, to write about the phenomenon she represents – and what it means for web fiction). But if you don't already know of her, allow me:
Amanda Hocking is 26* years old. She has 9 self-published books to her name, and sells 100,000+ copies of those ebooks per month. She has never been traditionally published. This is her blog. And it's no stretch to say – at $3 per book1/70% per sale for the Kindle store – that she makes a lot of money from her monthly book sales. (Perhaps more importantly: a publisher on the private Reading2.0 mailing list has said, to effect: there is no traditional publisher in the world right now that can offer Amanda Hocking terms that are better than what she's currently getting, right now on the Kindle store, all on her own.)
And that is stunning news.
Kindle Store Economics
Why this is happening, and how it can happen, is a question that's been explored by other indie writers experimenting with sales on the Kindle store. J.A.Konrath is arguably the best authority on this, and the logic goes roughly as follows:
If you're an indie writer, you get to sell books at a price way, way lower than what a Traditional Publisher can sell at. And yet you make more money, because your only costs are to an ebook and cover art designer (whereas the traditional publisher has to support a legacy system, plus the traditionally published author gets a 30% cut, while you get 70%).
In the meantime, readers are more inclined to buy your stories, even if you're an unknown author, simply because your book prices are cheaper. So you get high sales, low ebook prices, but high revenue once you've hit sufficient scale. And the best thing is that it's infinitely scalable: your ebooks are out there, getting sales every single day. No shelf-space, no print runs to worry about.
You're making a killing, and are able to compete with traditional publishers at their own game.
Well, in the context of an ebook store, that is.
The oft-repeated argument that people use w/r/t Konrath is that he was a traditionally published author before moving to the Kindle store. But Hocking and her peers, who have never been published the traditional route before (who were inspired by Konrath's exploits, and who are now selling way more than Konrath ever has) are together invalidating that argument. You don't have to be traditionally published to sell a lot of ebooks, and you don't have to be A-List famous, either. Take this monthly sales list of top Kindle indie authors, for instance:
Blake Crouch – 2500+
Nathan Lowell – 2500+
Beth Orsoff – 2500+
Sandra Edwards – 2500+
Vianka Van Bokkem – 2500+
Maria Hooley – 2500+
C.S. Marks – 2500+
Lee Goldberg – 2500+
Lexi Revellian – 4000+
Zoe Winters – 4000+
Aaron Patterson – 4000+
Bella Andre – 5000+
Imogen Rose – 5000+
Ellen Fisher – 5000+
Tina Folsom – 5000+
Terri Reid – 5000+
David Dalglish – 5000+
Scott Nicholson – 10,000+
J.A. Konrath 10,000+
Victorine Lieske – 10,000+
L.J. Sellers – 10,000+
Michael R. Sullivan – 10,000+
H.P. Mallory – 20,000+
Selena Kitt – 20,000+
Stephen Leather – 40,000+
Amanda Hocking – 100,000+
Those numbers you see? They're monthly sales figures taken from the December 2010 listings on the Kindle store. And of the list, only six have had previous print deals with major publishers. Some mental arithmetic to do: average price of those ebooks are between $3-$5*. Amazon takes a 30% cut. How much are these authors making, per month?
And What Does This Mean for Web Fiction?
A number of web fiction authors are now moving/releasing their work exclusively on the Kindle ebook store. Zoe Whitten, for instance, recently took down four of her novels: all of which were formerly open, web fiction pieces. (I particularly enjoyed Zombie Punter, and I wrote her a glowing review for it, but that's a story for another day).
I think several things would happen over the course of the year, the majority of which are obvious responses to this gold-mine of indie publishing. More web fiction writers would move their work to the Kindle store (if they haven't already). Some of these serials would be taken off the open web; others would be left online, but with new work released to the store for the foreseeable future.
It's likely that the web fiction writers of the future would treat web fiction as this thing you do when you're writing a novel – it's fun, dynamic, and very fulfilling, but when the novel's done you close off the web fiction site and turn that into a landing page for your ebook. It's not bad, per se, but it's going to be a change for the community.
The good news is that writers can now make a significant amount of money, if they're hardworking enough, and smart enough, to take advantage of the digital tools available to them. The bad news is that … well, things would be different in the not-too-distant future. And maybe different in a bad way. But that goes without saying, and whether it's good, or bad, or just different, we really can't know tell things would turn out.
I, for one, am optimistic, and I think we can do cool things with this trend. But let's wait and see.
Update: USA Today reports that her sales have exceeded 450k for the month of January 2011 alone.
1 Three of her full-length ebook novels are priced at $0.99.
* Correction appended: ebooks by these authors are between $3-$5, not $8-$9 as previously claimed. The $8-$9 price are the prices of their self-published paperback books. Also, Amanda's age is 26, not 27.

This crispy coconut shrimp when paired with the right kind of condiment like Sweet and Spicy Plum Chutney or Tomato-Chili-Garlic Chutney becomes a star at your dinner or party table. They disappear super fast. The shrimp is crispy and crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside and makes an awesome appetizer. Its crunchy, soft, spicy and sweet. You get it all in just one bite.
It's been raining here in Northern California for two long weeks now. Love love rain.. and I'm so hoping that it does not stop. More rain means, enough snow on the Sierras at least until April, to help us deal with the California drought situation.
Even though my friends have been complaining about the continuous rain and me, agree with them that, the rain kind of dampens the energy a bit and limits you from doing outdoor activities.., but deep down, I'm so very happy that it's raining and its windy. I find rain extremely beautiful. It just makes me happy from within. And when it rains, all you want to do is curl up in your PJs with some hot beverage and get lost in your dreams – I have been doing that a lot these days.
Rain also wants you to crave for hot and fried food. I thought of making these Crispy Coconut Shrimp with Sriracha Dipping Sauce because of the weather called for that. if you are also craving for something fried yet, doesn't harm your fitness goals, try Spicy Lentil and Potato Croquettes, Fish Cutlets, Curry Spiced Baby Potatoes.
These Crispy Coconut Shrimp pair really well with Sriracha Yogurt Dipping Sauce. Either you can make the Sriracha Dipping Sauce with it or any other spicy chutney or relish will also go well. Like, Sweet and Spicy Plum Chutney.
My older son loves shrimp. He is like me when it comes to food. Either he likes something or he just doesn't like it. And when he likes something – he likes it a lot and usually sticks to his favorites. He loved these Crispy Coconut Shrimps.
I don't eat out much but when I do, I insist on fine dining (kind of).., Or, I like going for dinner to a restaurant where I can enjoy the service, ambiance and of course the good food. But here is the thing – the finer the restaurants, smaller are their plates and servings of food. And, it can be a pain for people like me whose taste is pretty much limited to few things and don't like variation. Why I'm telling you this is that every time I eat out in a nice restaurant, I scan the menu for coconut shrimp or crab cakes in the Appetizer section. Eight out of 10 times, they have them but the problem is that you only get a few in each serving. The serving size doesn't really satisfy my craving.
I have also been disappointed with the texture and taste of Coconut Shrimp many times. The breading could be too gummy and chewy. You want your coconut shrimps to taste amazing with the right amount of tenderness and crispiness to them. They should crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and when you coat them with coconut, they give you that extra crunch as well as reminds you of your trip to Hawaii.
For Coconut Shrimp
- 1 Cup Coconut Flour (use regular flour if you don't have coconut flour handy)
- 1 TBSP Rice Powder
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Milk (You can use regular milk too)
- 16/20 Large Shrimps
- 1 Cup Dried Unsweetened Coconut
- Salt and black Pepper per your taste
- 1 TSP Red Chili Powder (since we like it spicy, I added 2 TSP very hot chili powder)
- 1 TSP Curry powder (optional)
- Oil for frying
Sriracha Yogurt Dipping Sauce
- ½ CUP Greek Yogurt or, any thick unflavored yogurt. You can also use mayonnaise
- 1 TSP Lemon Juice
- 1 TSP Cumin Powder
- 2 TBSP Sriracha
- Prepare the dipping sauce by mixing all the dipping sauce ingredients.
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan
- Peel and devein the shrimps. Keep the tails on.
- Make a small slit between the shrimps, stopping at the tail
- Mix the egg, coconut milk, and flour, curry powder, chili powder, salt and pepper into a smooth batter. The batter shouldn't be too runny nor too thick.
- In another bowl, mix together dry coconut, breadcrumbs
- Holding the shrimp by its tail, dip it into the batter and then roll into the dry coconut mixture
- Shallow fry the shrimps on each side for 2-3 minutes
NOTE: you can air fry the shrimps for a healthier alternative or you can also bake the shrimps in the oven at 450-degrees F for 10/15 minutes.

I am given geographic data in the form of Gauss-Krüger-Coordinates and would like to calculate distances with them and convert them to longitude/latitude coordinates in another system for plotting (e.g. WGS84).
Gauss-Krüger-Coordinates are essentially like UTM-coordinates based upon a transversal Mercator projection where positions are indicated by a Right-value (East-value in UTM; y-coordinate in the geodetic coordinate system) and a High-value (North-value in UTM; x-coordinate int the geodetic coordinate system)
Far from being an expert in geodesy the way I understand it Mathematica's geodetic functions allow entering coordinates as
GeoPosition, as
GeoPositionENU or as
GeoGridPosition essentially will reference to a position on a projection so probably should be the way the Gauss-Krüger-Coordinates are entered, but I am not so sure. Mathematica does not seem to know Gauss-Krüger-Projection (not listed among
GeoProjectionData[]) and I do not know which parameters to use for Gauss-Krüger and how best to do this. Thus:
How can I enter the Gauss-Krüger-Coordinates into Mathematica so they can be used for distance-calculations and conversions using Mathematica's geodetic functions?

Transparency International released its annual 2012 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) and war-wracked Somalia and Afghanistan along with isolated North Korea sit at the bottom of the list while Denmark, Finland and New Zealand share the top spot.
Both Denmark and Finland are based on the Nordic welfare state model, while New Zealand has developed into a free market economy in which welfare is provided mostly on the basis of need.
Transparency International noted that fighting corruption "involves public participation and transparency mechanisms such as disclosure of information," and all three countries perform well in terms of government openness and effectiveness.
Finland, Denmark and New Zealand all have high GDP per capita, low inequality rates, literacy rates close to 100 press, and prioritize human right issues such as gender equality and freedom of information.
It's important to note that the CPI only gauges the corruption of administrative and political institutions as opposed to including societal or private sector corruption.
Nevertheless, the CPI is the gold standard for determining corruption worldwide.
CORRECTION [9:01 p.m.]: A previous version of this post said Sweden earned a top spot. Sweden was 4th on the list. We regret the error.

So I came across this amazing blog the other day while on Pinterest and this Bible craft is from the blog. The blog is I Can Teach My Child and it is loaded with tons of awesome educational crafts and activities to do with your kids. They are even divided up by ages. This light box craft is part of a series on her blog for teaching about the seven days of creation. You can find the lessons for all seven days here. There are also videos of really cute songs that you can sing with your child for each day.
I plan to go through these with Hudson, he enjoyed the "day one" activity today. You can find all the details for the day one lesson here.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day."
-Genesis 1:1-5

After spending most of the year in hibernation, the CBOE Volatility Index (^VIX) is back. The gauge has soared more than 25% over the past seven trading sessions and could be a fore gleam of what lies ahead in 2013.
The CBOE Volatility Index or "VIX" is a widely used yardstick of (NYSEARCA:IVV) so-called "fear" because it tracks the expected volatility of the S&P 500 over the next 30 days. The measure is calculated from option prices.
While it's still too early to determine whether rising volatility will morph into a longer-term trend, the short-term trend is up. And like a sleeping giant, the VIX is starting to move.
In the January 2013 edition of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter (published on 12/17) we wrote:
"Both the CBEO Put/Call ratio and the VIX are drenched with complacency. Going long the VIX in 2012 for any extended period has resulted in outsized losses, but playing the short term bounces has been profitable. The VIX has refused to spend much time below the 15 level providing a solid support and buying area for VIX bulls. As it approaches that level, buying front month in the money calls is a good trade. Almost every time the VIX has moved below the 15 level, at a minimum a short term top in the S&P occurred and the VIX eventually rallied to 19. Previous 10% declines have sent the VIX into the upper 20s. We like going long the VIX JAN 14 CALL options (VIX130116C00014000) at $271 per contract." (After peaking near $650, the JAN 14 VIX Calls closed on 12/27 at $540 per contract)
We also explained to readers that our preferred method for trading the VIX is using call/put options instead of VIX ETPs. The chart below shows why.
You'll note a 5.5% performance drag for the ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (NYSEARCA:VIXY) compared to the VIX itself over the past seven trading sessions. The chart proves that for even shorter periods, getting precise exposure to the VIX with ETFs or ETNs is next to impossible.
The prospectus for VIXY admits this much:
"Each VIX Fund is benchmarked to its respective VIX Futures Index and the VIX Funds are not linked to the VIX, to realized volatility of the S&P 500, or to the options that underlie the VIX calculation. Each VIX Fund should be expected to perform very differently from the VIX over all periods of time. In many cases the VIX Futures Indexes will significantly underperform the VIX. Furthermore, because each VIX Fund may invest in VIX futures contracts other than the VIX futures contracts comprising the Fund's VIX Futures Index, the VIX Funds may perform differently than their respective VIX Futures Indexes."
Sincethe VIX is not a directly investable thing, VIX ETFs and ETNs get their exposure to S&P 500 volatility using VIX futures contracts. Each of the VIX futures indexes these ETPs use measure movements of a combinationof VIX futures and is designed to track changes in the expectation for VIX over a specific time window in the future. As a result, the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index and VIXY can be expected to perform differently than the VIX itself.
Other VIX linked ETPs like the iPath S&P 500 VIX ST Futures ETN (NYSEARCA:VXX) and the VelocityShares Long VIX ST ETN (NYSEARCA:VIIX) operate in a similar fashion.
Even if you have no plan to trade volatility, a hedged VIX position can be used to protect your stock market (NYSEARCA:DIA) gains. The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter continuously monitors the VIX along with other market indicators and makes recommendations on how to capitalize.

Well it's almost here. All of the excitement leading up to the last game of the season, the Super Bowl. Have you picked out your gluten free Super Bowl recipes yet? Just in case you have not I've got you covered. The football teams I really follow during the main season are not in the big game this year but I always have a team I'm rooting for. This year it's the Green Bay Packers.
While watching the game we also like to graze and eat a little something each quarter. This is where the menu gets to play it's part. When you are thinking about your game day menu think about how you like to eat. Do you like to get a plate, fill it up, eat and then that's it for the rest of the game? Maybe two small meals, one at the beginning and one at half time. What do you think about sweets for the game? Do you like to have one big dessert or do you like snack size treats?
If you're looking to recreate the foods sold at the perspective team's stadium here are the two favorites:
First you can have this towering sandwich which includes capicola, provolone cheese, fresh-cut French fries, coleslaw, and tomatoes served on fresh Italian bread. Not gluten or dairy free but some stack! Easily made gluten free.
Or if you're a Packers fan try this Johnsonville brat topped with savory house-made kraut. Again not gluten free but they look so pretty. You can make just a few changes to make these puppies gluten free.
You may even be inspired to build your food into a football stadium.
Thanks for sharing your stadium Queen of Sports.
It looks like this first one is made with twinkies, cheese, chips and dip and maybe some sausage.
The next one adds in potato chips and rice crispy treats. Both look really cool and lots of calories and you'll probably need some Tums after digging in. I'm not sure how many people these serve but I'm guessing an average size party.
But my favorite stadium of food was shown in a commercial for the Honda CRV. They reconstructed the two tier Soldier Field and I think it could feed a whole football team.
I'm wondering if these really cool football fields that are made from junkfood could actually be made from real food that was actually healthy? Oh I'm seeing a challenge here. I think next year we'll have a contest for making a football field from healthy food.
But back to this year. I have gathered a ton of recipes here for you. Some are from this blog and others are from both gluten free and non gluten free blogs. I hope you have a great day and enjoy the game.
So who's going to win, Packers or Steelers?
Here are a few recipes I've shared in the past which work great for game day:
BBQ Jalapeno Poppers or Jalapeno Poppers -this recipe uses dairy but you can change that for non-dairy
Gluten and Dairy Free Crabby Veggie Pizza
Refried Beans and Bean Guide or Refried Beans 8 Variations
5 Minute Guacamole Everyone Loves
Creamy and Regular Tomatillo Salsa
Chili Shrimp, Chicken with Avocado Salsa, and Roasted Jalapeno and Pablano Peppers
Roasted Chickpeas or Amazing Toasted Nuts
Double Chocolate Clementine Cake or Cupcakes
Cranberry Chocolate Nut Truffles
Captain Jack's Chocolate Rum Cookies
So here are some ideas for foods to have at your game day party (some may need ingredient adjustments if you are living gluten and dairy free):
Gluten Free Hawaiian Meatballs by Simply Gluten-Free
Buffalo Chicken Wings from The Sensitive Pantry
Buffalo Tofu by Gluten Free Diva
Gluten Free Pumpkin Ale Chili by Cook it Allergy Free
Mini Potato Skins by What's Gaby Cooking
Super Bowl Cake Pops by Elana's Pantry
Super Bowl Party Recipes by Elana's Pantry
Hummus and Cucumber Appetizer Bites with Sesame Seeds by Kalyn's Kitchen
Girlie-Man Super Bowl Recipes from Leite's Culinaria
Here's some more recipes from gluten free easily

3D Flow Field Measurements
with pco.edge 5.5/pco.dimax series
Towards high-resolution 3D flow field measurements at cubic meter scales
We present results from two large-volume volumetric flow experiments. The first of these, investigating a thermal plume at low velocities (up to 0.35 m/s) demonstrates the abilities and requirements to reach volume sizes up to and probably beyond one cubic meter. It is shown that the use of Helium filled soap bubbles (HFSBs) as tracers, combined with pulsed LED illumination yields high particle image quality over large volume depths. A very uniform particle imaging, both in space as well as in time enables using high particle image concentrations (up to 0.1 ppp), while still being able to accurately reconstruct the flow using Shake-The-Box particle tracking.
The experiment consisted of time-resolved volumetric flow measurements of a convectional plume within a volume of approx. 0.55 m3 (550 liters). The light yield needed for such a large scale measurement is realized by using HFSBs with 300 !m diameter as tracers and illuminating the measurement region using high-power, scalable arrays of white LEDs. Applying the Shake-The-Box algorithm, up to 275,000 bubbles could be tracked simultaneously. Interpolating the results on a regular grid (using 'FlowFit') reveals a multitude of flow structures. The setup can be scaled to larger volumes of several cubic meters, basically only being limited by the number and power of available LEDs and high-resolution cameras with sufficient frame-rate and pixel sizes.
A second experiment showcases the possibilities to reach higher flow velocities, while still measuring within a comparatively large volume, by applying high-speed imaging and advanced LED illumination. An impinging turbulent jet was investigated in volumes ranging from 13 to 47 liters, depending on the repetition rate of the camera system. The results show that even at a repetition rate of 3.9 kHz and flow speeds up to 17 m/s the tested system was able to deliver images that allowed for a reliable and accurate tracking of bubbles. Again, the use of more LEDs would allow for larger volumes. New generations of high-speed cameras should enable the use of even higher flow speeds – thus enabling large-volume measurements in typical low speed wind tunnel experiments at high spatial resolution (provided enough HFSBs can be produced).

First lay chair in 105-year history of organization
Carmen A. Granto of Niagara Falls has been elected chairman of the board of trustees of Mount St. Mary's Hospital and Health Center. Granto, the retired superintendent of schools of the Niagara Falls School District, replaces Sr. Margaret Tuley, DC, who has served as board chair since 2003. He is the first non-religious chair for Mount St. Mary's since the Sisters of St. Francis founded it in 1907.
"We are delighted that Carmen is bringing his knowledge of business and his extensive involvement in the community to our board leadership," said Judith A. Maness, FACHE, president and CEO of Mount St. Mary's. "He has served on our board for more than 10 years and knows the opportunities that exist for our continued growth and the challenges we must face to continue to provide the highest quality of care to our patients."
Granto first joined the Mount St. Mary's board in 1999 and then served three, three-year terms, which is the maximum consecutive terms according to the hospital's bylaws. He rejoined the board after a one-year absence in 2010.
Granto earned his undergraduate degree from LeMoyne College and his master's degree in educational administration from Niagara University. He served as superintendent of the Niagara Falls City School District from 1992 until his retirement in 2008. He has served on several local boards and community organizations, including Niagara County Community College, Stella Niagara, the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency, Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority and others. He is a resident of the City of Niagara Falls.
In addition to Granto, other officers elected include Robert J. Travis, CPA, of Chiampou Travis Besaw & Kershner LLP, as vice chairman and treasurer; and Mark Gabriele, attorney, Harris Beach, as secretary.
Other members of the board of trustees include: Dena Armstrong, treasurer/assistant vice president with Sevenson Environmental Services; William J. Bradberry; Lloyd W. Brown, M.D., BEA Group/Exigence; Francis P. DiCamillo, vice president, DiCamillo Baking Co.; Donald J. Largo, Jr., M.D.; Joseph D. McDonald, president and CEO of Catholic Health of Buffalo; Robert A. Minicucci Sr., president of Health System Services; Sr. Kathleen Natwin, DC; Sr. Marilyn Perkins, DC; Michael L. Vitch, president/owner of Compu-Mail; and Deborah J. Winslow-Schraber, director of Human Resources, Canisius College.
Maria J. Komin, M.D., president of the medical staff, is that group's representative on the board; Domonic F. Falsetti, M.D., is chief of staff; Maness is president and CEO; and Patrick J. Berrigan, senior attorney, Harris Beach, is trustee emeritus.
