When The Complete Package and I moved to the Austin area last spring, we discovered Opie's Barbecue in Spicewood, Texas. On a whim, he grabbed a slice of what they called Coca Cola Cake and a new obsession began. Each time we visited, he would look for the cake on the dessert rack, and most of the time it was sold out. Life can be cruel, and missing this cake became a constant topic for him, just as Opie's famous butterbeans became for me (sold Friday-Sunday only; dine-in only; no whining allowed).
Because the cake became so elusive, I began to dig for recipes. Searches for Coca Cola Cake resulted in chocolate sheet cakes with fudge frosting, which is the traditional Texas way. Those cakes, however, did not resemble Opie's version in the least. The cake TCP pined for tasted of vanilla, coconut and pecans. It was sold by the slice and slathered in cream cheese frosting. No chocolate. No fudge. No hope in sight. Then I ran across a blog post about a trip through Spicewood and a coca cola cake that prompted the writer to share a memory of her grandmother's old-fashioned vanilla wafer cake. She included a family recipe, and that's where I decided to begin.
The first time I made the cake, I followed the recipe exactly and the result was brickish. Too dense, too sweet, and no hint of coca cola anywhere, thus leading to further confusion about why Opie's would call it such. The second time I made it, I scaled back on the sugar and liquids, reduced a Coke in a saucepan to create a syrup, and glazed the warm bundt with coke syrup before frosting. Result – still brickish, still too heavy, and slightly soggy from the syrup. Two fails in a row, but my mama didn't raise a quitter.
On my third attempt, I went a completely different route. What the cake lacked was lift. Soft, fluffy lift. It was at that moment that it struck me. What if I added a plain yellow cake mix to the otherwise traditional ingredients? What if I gave up on the cola aspect all together and focused on keeping it simple? Could I use that dusty can of coconut milk in my pantry to boost the overall flavor? What was there to lose in trying? Sometimes one must be bold, or at least willing to fail. Again & again.
The surprising part is that it worked. Not just worked, though. It was delicious. So much so that The Complete Package declared it a winner. And that's how we came to create our own version of this vintage Vanilla Wafer Cake with a modern twist. Thank you, Betty Crocker.
This comes together quickly, so pre-heat your oven, grease/flour your bundt pan, gather your ingredients and let's get started.
NanaBread's Vanilla Wafer Cake:
- 1 box (11 ozs.) Nilla Wafers, crushed
- 1 bag (7 ozs.) shredded, sweetened coconut
- 1 1/2 cups pecan pieces
- 1 box (15.25 ozs.) yellow cake mix
- 6 whole eggs
- 1 can (13.5 ozs.) coconut milk (not reduced fat)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raw or granulated sugar (I used raw)
In a food processor, combine the vanilla wafers, coconut and pecans. Pulse until blended to the consistency of coarse sand and no large chunks remain.
Pour the crumb mixture into a large mixing bowl and add the cake mix, eggs, coconut milk, vanilla and sugar. Just dump it all in there. No need to be delicate.
Grab a spatula and stir to combine (no mixer needed), just until all ingredients are moistened. Pour into your prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top.
Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few small crumbs. Keep an eye on it near the end. You don't want to over-bake this one. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a cake plate and allow it to cool completely.
I swear, your house will smell like heaven right about now. This cake is good enough to eat as is, but I think we all know everything's better with cream cheese frosting. I like to keep mine simple. In a small mixing bowl, combine one 8-oz package of cream cheese and 1/2 a stick of unsalted butter. Allow both to rest at room temperature until softened. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste (my favorite), and 1/2 to 1 cup of powdered sugar, depending on how sweet you like it. Whisk until smooth and put it in a bag for piping.
Want a quick tip for piping frosting? I do it with a Ziploc freezer bag. Simply take a quart freezer bag and put your hand inside. Then put your hand & the bag down into a tall drinking glass and remove your hand. Then fold the edge of the bag over the rim of the glass. It keeps the bag upright while you fill it.
Fold the edges of the bag up, press out the air, and seal the bag. If you have time to kill before your cake is cool, simply pop the bag back into the refrigerator. When you're ready, snip the corner off and you're ready to pipe. I love this time saver.
I like to use a sheet of parchment paper to keep excess frosting from running off the cake plate after it's piped. You'll see what I mean in a second. Twisting the top of the bag to press the frosting down to the corner, start piping in the center of the bundt and work your way from inside to outside around the entire cake.
I'm not playing when it comes to cream cheese frosting. I put it on thick, and I make sure there's excess frosting in the middle, just in case I want more. And I always want more.
So simple, y'all. And so flavorful. And look at that lift! This one's a keeper.
Sorry, Opie. I'll gladly stand in line for your beautifully smoked meats, your creamy tater tot casserole, and your dine-in only butterbeans every weekend, but I'll be having dessert at home from now on. Care to join me?

The new version of Google's Android operating system is called Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It's faster, has a cleaner home screen, a new camera app, much better notifications, and what could be a killer app: Google Now. This is what's new in Jelly Bean:
It smartly helps you depending on where you are located
Google Now is going to be a killer feature. It gives your Android phone complete awareness of your whereabouts and keeps you updated about any information you may need at any point during the day, depending on your location. It seems quite smart.
If you are on route in the subway, for example, it will tell you when the next train is coming. If you search for a flight, it will create a card that would be constantly updated with flight information like gate, delays, or boarding time. If you go to a restaurant, it will offer you recommendations on the menu. This seems similar to some of the things Siri does on iOS, but it looks more useful to me, as it seems to anticipate situations based on where you are.
The cards are clearly designed, with a good layout, images and typography.
The apps update faster
This is great: when an app needs updating, it will not download the whole app. It will only download the parts of the app package that have changed. This is great for users, as the new apps will download faster and will use less bandwidth. In theory, this will help people to have all their apps updated at all time.
It's faster than ever
The new interface is ultra fast. The refresh rate is much higher than the previous version of the Android operating system, with a much better response time to your touch. Apparently, Google claims that their new software video architecture can save battery too by predicting where you are going to click next.
The entire Android interface—apps included—runs at 60 frames per second. Google ran a video on screen comparing Jelly Bean to Ice Cream Sandwich, the previous version of Android, and it makes the latter look like it is running in slow motion. We will have to try it, but it looks pretty impressive. In fact, Google is so excited about its smoothness that they call it Project Butter.
It will make your home screen look better
The home screen has been modified. It looks the same but it now helps the user to keep things organized. Now you can resize your widgets or move them around and everything on the screen will flow accordingly, keeping it all in order. In a way, the reordering is similar to Microsoft's Metro resizing on Windows Phone 8, without the tiling. Dismissing widgets is as easy as tossing them away.
You can type with your voice even while you are offline
There is a new offline voice typing engine, which will allow you to dictate text without the need of a connection to the internet. It will be launched only for US English at the beginning, but other languages will follow.
It has a nicer camera app
There's a new camera application that allows you to review your existing photos easily, even as you are taking a new one, without having to change into a review mode: just look at any previous photo by swiping with your finger the right, moving the active camera view out of the way. It's a cute feature, but I don't think it's too useful. I don't see myself looking at my previous photos while taking a new one.
Getting rid of an existing photo in this mode is also quite simple: swipe it up to toss it away. Cute again, and fast. The only problem I can see with this is that it doesn't ask you to confirm.
The new notifications are much better and richer than before
They have added images, live updates, and a lot more information, to notifications. They can also expand and collapse with a two finger gesture. Android was the first phone OS to introduce notifications and the new ones make Apple's look primitive now. They kind of remind me of Microsoft's live tiles.
The new search engine works like Siri
The new search engine works like Siri, accepting questions in natural language and answering them. The voice sounds much better than Siri, however.
The result screen is pretty nice too: it gives you a card with the answer for your question but, with a swipe of your finger to the right, you will see full Google search results.
When is it coming out?
It will be available in mid-July, with an over the air update for Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Xoom, and Nexus S.

KT Tape – Pre-Cut Elastic 16 ft. / 20 Strips
If you're training for your first marathon, another Gold Medal, or just spectating with intensity, you already know that nothing slows you down faster than an injury.SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
You could always load up on pain meds or just be content to sit on the sidelines but quitting isn't an option and pain meds can be dangerous So maybe you try wearing a brace or wrapping it with athletic tape but those are restrictive, uncomfortable and make you look like…yeah…him.
Fortunately, there's an alternative that's clinically proven, athlete tested, and used by millions of people world-wide. It's called KT Tape. KT Tape is lightweight, comfortable to wear, and used to treat and prevent hundreds of common injuries such as knee pain, shin splints, and tennis elbow.
And KT Tape not only looks good, it provides 24 hour relief per application for days at a time and can be worn in water. Try that with a brace.HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
Let's say you just finished your favorite workout and now your lower back is killing you. KT Tape provides targeted pain relief by relieving pressure and increasing circulation to help speed recovery.
Or maybe the last time you went jogging you tweaked your knee and now it hurts to run or walk up the stairs. KT Tape provides stability and support for joints by providing an external layer of support around the joint. And it comes ready to apply right out of the box, already precut so you don't have to worry about…yeah…that kind of stuff.
KT Tape is made up of reinforced 100% cotton sheathes designed to provide durability and increased strength. These cotton sheathes are embedded into weft yarn to provide uni-directional elasticity- allowing the tape to stretch in length but preventing the tape from stretching in width. These fibers ensure KT Tape will provide stable support without restricting motion.
The Matrix is a mechanical mesh weave designed to provide precisely 140% bilinear elasticity along the length of the tape, and no elasticity in the tape's width. 140% elasticity is critical because it is the same elasticity as human skin. By matching the exact elasticity in skin, and stretching lengthwise, KT Tape flexes and moves comfortably with the body's tissue, releasing and recoiling like a rubber-band.
KT Tape's unique Matrix Mesh also allows for moisture release which is critical for comfort and wear-ability. The more porous the tape's weave, the better it releases moisture caused by sweating or being worn in the water. The design provides more breathability and release of moisture so that it is comfortable to wear for up to five days at a time without itching, irritation or reactions with the skin.
Second-skin Adhesion, Go ahead- beat it up, swim with it, wear it on your feet during sand volleyball, or your 100 mile mud run. When it comes to medical adhesive, stronger is not always better. The key to medical adhesive is stick and release: the adhesive must stay on, no matter how punishing the environment, but release when it's peeled off without causing pain and bleeding. The KT Tape product design team spent hundreds of hours in R&D developing the perfect balance.
Here is how it works, KT Tape is applied along muscles, ligaments, and tendons (soft tissue) to provide a lightweight, strong, external support that helps to prevent injury and speed recovery. KT Tape works differently for different injuries. KT Tape can lift and support the knee cap, holding it in place for Runner's Knee. KT Tape can support sagging muscles along the arch of the foot, relieving the connective tissues for Plantar's Fasciitis. And KT Tape can lift the stress off of shin splints to allow pain release and give the body a better opportunity to recover. Depending on how it is applied, KT Tape supports, enables, or restricts soft tissue and its movement. By stretching and recoiling like a rubber band, KT Tape augments tissue function and distributes loads away from inflamed or damaged muscles and tendons, thereby protecting tissues from further injury.
By applying KT Tape over affected tissue, athletes experience an external support which helps to prevent further injury and allows the body's damaged tissue to rest and heal naturally despite continued activity. KT Tape also reduces inflammation and increases circulation which prevents muscle cramping and lactic acid buildup.
KT Tape
KT TAPE is precut and ready to apply right out of the box. Precut strips have rounded corners which help to prevent the corners from snagging on things or edges fraying. Each roll contains 20 10-inch "I" strips. That's 16.6...

It's amazing just how many medical myths there are to choose from, but one part of the body seems to attract more than its fair share, and that's the brain. One of my favourite brain myths is the idea that we only use 10% of it. It's an appealing idea because it suggests the possibility that we could become so much more intelligent, successful or creative, if only you could harness that wasted 90%. This might inspire us to try harder, but unfortunately that doesn't mean there's any truth in it.
First of all, it's important to ask the question – 10% of what? If it is 10% of the regions of the brain to which people are referring, this is the easiest idea to quash. Using a technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging, neuroscientists can place a person inside a scanner and see which parts of the brain are activated when they do or think about something. A simple action like clenching and unclenching your hand or saying a few words requires activity in far more than a tenth of the brain. Even when you think you are doing nothing your brain is doing rather a lot – whether it's controlling functions like breathing and heart rate, or recalling the items on your to-do list.
But maybe the 10% refers to number of brain cells. Again this doesn't work. When any nerve cells are going spare they either degenerate and die off or they are colonised by other areas nearby. We simply don't let our brain cells hang around idly. They're too valuable for that. In fact our brains are a huge drain on our resources. Keeping brain tissue alive consumes 20% of the oxygen we breathe, according to cognitive neuroscientist Sergio Della Sala.
It is true that nature can sometimes involve some strange designs, but to evolve to have a brain ten times the size we needed would seem very odd, when its large dimensions are so costly to our survival, leading on occasion to obstructed labour and the death of a mother during childbirth if no help is available.
Yet many people do cling on to the idea that we only use 10% of our brains. The idea is so prevalent that when the University College London neuroscientist Sophie Scott was on a first aid course the tutor assured the class that head injuries are not very serious because of the 10% "fact". He was not only wrong about the 10%, but he was also wrong about the impact of brain damage. Even a small injury can have huge effects on a person's capabilities. The first aid tutor probably wasn't bargaining on instructing a professor of neuroscience on the course, but Scott put him right.
Head scratcher
So how can an idea with so little biological or physiological basis have spread so widely? It is hard to track down an original source. The American psychologist and philosopher William James mentioned in The Energies of Men in 1908 that we "are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources". He was optimistic that people could achieve more, but he does not refer to brain volume or quantity of cells, nor does he give a specific percentage. The 10% figure is mentioned in the preface to the 1936 edition of Dale Carnegie's best-selling book How to Win Friends and Influence People, and sometimes people say that Albert Einstein was the source. But Professor Della Sala has tried to find the quote, and even those who work at the Albert Einstein archives can find no record of it. So it seems this might be a myth too.
There are two other phenomena that might account for the misunderstanding. Nine-tenths of the cells in the brain are so-called glial cells. These are the support cells, the white matter, which provide physical and nutritional help for the other 10% of cells, the neurons, which make up the grey matter than does the thinking. So perhaps people heard that only 10% of the cells do the hard graft and assumed that we could harness the glial cells too. But these are different kind of cells entirely. There is no way that they could suddenly transform themselves into neurons, giving us extra brain power.
There is a very rare group of patients whose brain scans reveal something extraordinary, though. In 1980, a British paediatrician called John Lorber mentioned in the journal Science that he had patients with hydrocephalus who had hardly any brain tissue, yet could function. This doesn't of course show us that the rest of us could make extra use of our brains, just that these people have adapted to extraordinary circumstances.
It is, of course, true that if we put our minds to it we can learn new things, and there is increasing evidence in the area of neuroplasticity showing that this changes our brains. But we are not tapping into a new area of the brain. We create new connections between nerve cells or lose old connections that we no longer need.
What I find most intriguing about this myth is how disappointed people are when you tell them it's not true. Maybe it's the figure of 10% that is so appealing because it is so low that it offers massive potential for improvement. We'd all like to be better. And we can be better if we try. But, sadly, finding an unused portion of our brains isn't the way it's going to happen.

Making it stick
Small Business of the Year runner-up
NEW FINISH INC. Headquarters: Norwood President Steve Bradley Employees: 50 Founded: 2001 Projected 2012 revenue: $4.5 million Business: Metal powder coating, electrocoating
It was February, and the dreamer was on the phone with the worrier back home in Michigan. "Brenda, they're mowing lawns down here," Steve Bradley told his wife. "It's winter in Grand Rapids from October on," she recalls. "Gray, dismal and snowy. So I said, 'What's the worst that can happen?'" They moved to North Carolina in the mid-1990s, eventually starting a business that last month began what could be a million-dollar expansion. Credit his enthusiasm and her caution.
Up there, he had gone about as far as he could at an office-furniture factory, where he supervised powder coating — applying negatively charged pigment the consistency of baby powder to positively charged metal, then oven curing it to create a finish more resistant to corrosion than conventional paint. A headhunter steered him to a job as production coordinator at Metal Forge Co. in Albemarle. He worked there about five years, eventually becoming plant manager. "He was miserable and overworked," Brenda recalls, so he took a job with a paint supplier. But traveling across North America to provide technical service to paint shops wore on him.
"Our dream was to open our own little powder-coating shop to make a comfortable living for our family of four," she says. "I had a '66 Mustang — a real fun car — but we sold it, and Steve had an old Harley we sold." They drained their 401(k) accounts. Raising slightly less than $30,000, the Bradleys opened New Finish in a rented Quonset hut in Norwood, paying pennies on the dollar for used equipment — but still having to spend $20,000 to build a curing oven — and surplus paints. They used handbills and word of mouth to advertise. He kept his job, and while he traveled, she sandblasted and coated items walk-in customers brought in. First-year revenue was about $8,000, enough to show potential.
In 2003, the company moved into a 10,000- square-foot building, borrowed $100,000 from a local bank and salvaged a former textile mill's automated line to move items through sandblasting, coating and other processes. The Bradleys hired four people, and he quit his job. That year, revenue reached $1 million. "We were so busy just working that we did not have time to plan or think. Steve cannot say no to customers, so we outgrew our original goal of just a comfortable living for our family and took on more customers and employees."
Sales hit $3 million in 2007. Then New Finish's biggest customer, Citation Foundry in Biscoe, declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. "They owed us over a half-million dollars, and we were going to see none of it." The worrier was ready to close up shop. "But Steve said, 'No, we're not going to do that.'" With a bit of savings stored up, a solid credit record and patient vendors, they stayed in business. In 2010, he talked her into expanding into electrocoating — a process similar to powder coating but using liquid paint. "I'm a tough sale," Brenda says. "You have to show me that something is almost guaranteed to make money. I don't dig into the piggy bank easily."
Since then, it has purchased 27,000-square-foot and 5,000-square-foot buildings on 50 acres. It recently began the expansion that will consolidate all operations there. Citation, now called Grede Foundries Inc., is a customer again, with about $3 million a year in contracts. Horseshoe Express Trucking LLC, which they spun off in 2006, has more than 15 tractor-trailers and other vehicles. "I never wanted to be responsible for anyone's living except our own," Brenda, 51, says. Now there are all those employees, including daughters Ashlee, 23, who is in charge of shipping, and Kendra, 21, who handles billing. Then there's the dreamer, who's 53. "We're a team," she says. "Without me, he'd probably be in bankruptcy court. Without him, I'd probably be still working for somebody else."

By MATTHEW DALY
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is rejecting the idea of paying for President Donald Trump's border wall in exchange for a deal to help hundreds of thousands of young immigrants avoid deportation.
Pelosi said Thursday that wall funding and legal protections for so-called "Dreamers" should not be linked, saying "they're two different subjects."
Pelosi, who is seeking to become House speaker in January, said Congress should pass appropriations bills that key committees have already agreed on, along with a separate measure funding the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the border.
Pelosi said agency funding should address border security and does not necessarily include the wall, a top Trump priority.
Her comments came as the House approved a stopgap bill to keep the government funded through Dec. 21.

IO::Async::Test - utility functions for use in test scripts
use Test::More tests => 1;
use IO::Async::Test;
use IO::Async::Loop;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;
testing_loop( $loop );
my $result;
some => args,

This module provides utility functions that may be useful when writing test scripts for code which uses IO::Async (as well as being used in the IO::Async test scripts themselves).
Test scripts are often synchronous by nature; they are a linear sequence of actions to perform, interspersed with assertions which check for given conditions. This goes against the very nature of IO::Async which, being an asynchronisation framework, does not provide a linear stepped way of working.
In order to write a test, the wait_for function provides a way of synchronising the code, so that a given condition is known to hold, which would typically signify that some event has occurred, the outcome of which can now be tested using the usual testing primitives.
Because the primary purpose of IO::Async is to provide IO operations on filehandles, a great many tests will likely be based around connected pipes or socket handles. The wait_for_stream function provides a convenient way to wait for some content to be written through such a connected stream.
testing_loop( $loop )
Set the IO::Async::Loop object which the wait_for function will loop on.
wait_for { COND } OPTS
Repeatedly call the loop_once method on the underlying loop (given to the testing_loop function), until the given condition function callback returns true.
To guard against stalled scripts, if the loop indicates a timeout for (a default of) 10 consequentive seconds, then an error is thrown.
Takes the following named options:
The time in seconds to wait before giving up the test as being stalled. Defaults to 10 seconds.
wait_for_stream { COND } $handle, $buffer
As wait_for, but will also watch the given IO handle for readability, and whenever it is readable will read bytes in from it into the given buffer. The buffer is NOT initialised when the function is entered, in case data remains from a previous call.
$buffer can also be a CODE reference, in which case it will be invoked being passed data read from the handle, whenever it is readable.
$future = wait_for_future $future
Since version 0.68.
A handy wrapper around using wait_for to wait for a Future to become ready. The future instance itself is returned, allowing neater code.
