text: Houston a big bust vs. Patriots By Editor | December 11, 2012 Houston a big bust vs. Patriots Posted: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 7:00 pm By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Just another game for the New England Patriots. Just a wire-to-wire domination of the team with the NFL's best record. So when their 42-14 Monday night rout of the Houston Texans was complete, there were few big smiles and no loud music in the Patriots locker room. They've been here before — many times. "We've played in a countless number of big games," said guard Logan Mankins, a veteran of two of the Patriots five Super Bowls in the past 11 seasons. "We know what it takes to prepare for one and not over-hype the game." Not exactly the way some Texans viewed it coming in — "the biggest game in the history of this franchise," wide receiver Andre Johnson had said. Houston certainly didn't play like it, falling behind 21-0 early in the second quarter on three touchdown passes by Tom Brady. It was 28-0 on his fourth scoring toss just over five minutes into the third quarter and, with a strong showing by an improving Patriots defense, the Texans had little hope of coming back. "If we do what we want," safety Devin McCourty said, "we can't predict the score but we know we can dominate games." Starting with Brady. He threw four touchdown passes for the 18th time, passing Johnny Unitas and moving into fourth place all time. In the Patriots seven-game winning streak — four by a margin of at least 28 points — he's thrown for 19 touchdowns and just one interception. But Monday night's performance was his first as a father of three, capping off a stretch in which his wife, Gisele Bundchen, gave birth to Vivian Lake on Wednesday. "She is doing very well," Brady said. The Patriots (10-3) tied the AFC West-leading Denver Broncos for the second best record in the conference and already have clinched the AFC East title. The Texans (11-2) still hold the top spot in the conference, and have locked up at least a wild-card berth, but two of their remaining three games are against Indianapolis, which trails them by two games in the AFC South. "We know how important this game was to us," Johnson said after the Texans six-game winning streak ended. Wes Welker had only three catches and remains five short of becoming the first player with five 100-reception seasons. But his 31-yard punt return and 25-yard catch — the 107th straight game he's had at least one — led to the first of Aaron Hernandez's two touchdowns, a 7-yard score that gave Brady 45 consecutive games with a scoring pass, the third longest streak in NFL history. Houston came right back, marching to the Patriots 21-yard line. But Matt Schaub forced the ball into double coverage on the next play and McCourty intercepted in the end zone. It was the farthest the Texans would get until their second series of the third quarter that ended with Arian Foster's 1-yard scoring run that did little to shift the momentum. "We just got outplayed in all aspects of the game," Foster said. "It's hard to come back from a deficit when you are playing a team of that caliber." By the time he had scored, the Patriots had built a 28-0 lead on the 7-yard pass to Hernandez, a 37-yarder to Brandon Lloyd, a 4-yarder to Hernandez and a 63-yarder to Donte' Stallworth, who had been cut in training camp but re-signed last week after wide receiver Julian Edelman was injured. "That particular play is something we had worked on, even in the spring," Stallworth said. That helped New England to its 20th successive home win in December dating to a loss in 2002 to the New York Jets. "It is always good to play in Foxborough in December," linebacker Jerod Mayo said. "When you go out and perform the way you do, I think Foxborough is going to be a tough place for anyone to come and play." It certainly was for Houston, no longer the only team to be unbeaten on the road, falling to 6-1. Brady nearly had a fifth touchdown pass when Danny Woodhead broke free on a screen pass early in the fourth quarter. Defensive end J.J. Watt, who was pretty much invisible otherwise, forced a fumble, but the ball soared 11 yards into the end zone, where Lloyd fell on it for a 35-7 lead. Stevan Ridley made it 42-7 with a 14-yard run. Texans backup quarterback T.J. Yates scored on a 1-yard run with 2:00 remaining to close the scoring. "We got our tails kicked," Houston coach Gary Kubiak said. "I've got to get their chins up and get ready to go play again." Notes: Watt, who leads the AFC with 16 1/2 sacks, had none against the Patriots. … New England CB Aqib Talib hurt his hip in the second quarter. CB Alfonzo Dennard injured his hamstring. … Brady completed 21 of 35 passes for 296 yards. Schaub went 19 for 32 for 232 yards. … New England has won 10 games in each of the last 10 seasons. The record is 16 by San Francisco (1983-98). ——— Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP—NFL Published in The Messenger 12.11.12 Posted in Area News Related Posts Stolen vehicle, drugs recovered after traffic stop on Thursday December 1, 2023 | No Comments » Norah Clark named OVC Freshman of the Week November 28, 2023 | No Comments » Friday's TSSAA playoff semifinals to decide BlueCross Bowl matchups November 21, 2023 Lockdown cleared after overnight shots fired call on UT Martin campus November 17, 2023 Lake County Jail Administrator Indicted for Theft November 16, 2023

OverviewThe coming of the railroad changed the way America ate and drank. Before the iron horse connected every town of any importance to the outside world, most food was grown or produced locally. The arrival of cheap, fast, refrigerated transport — in the form of the woodsided reefer with ice bunkers at each end — enabled local brewers, diaries, meat processors, and other food businesses to become players on a national scale. Until 1934, shippers could advertise their wares on leased billboard reefers, each a hand-painted traveling work of art. That year, the Interstate Commerce Commission outlawed the flamboyant paint schemes because the cars often hauled shipments from other companies — whose freight bills thus unfairly paid to advertise the lessee's products. What doomed the billboard cars was truth in labeling. Depending on shipping needs, billboard cars often carried loads for customers other than the company named on the car sides. A beer company requesting an empty reefer for loading, for example, might find a cheese maker's delivered to its door. Shippers were not happy when their product was carried in a car bearing a large ad for someone else's product — they complained that their freight bill had in part paid for another company's advertising. Responding to these complaints, the Interstate Commerce Commission in July 1934 mandated the phasing out of billboard reefers and ruled that thereafter, the lessee's name on a car could be no more than 12" high. By law, all billboard reefers were removed from service by January, 1937, although many soldiered on in drabber paint schemes as late as the 1960s.

An Open Letter to the Editors of Gourmet Magazine and One Ms. Marlynn Marroso of Brighton, Michigan
In her letter, Ms. Marroso expresses dismay over the apparent excess of internationally-influenced recipes in the June 2009 issue. She asks sarcastically if she's expected to serve her friends "slab bacon adobo" or "refried black beans" as if the concept of doing so were completely absurd or even disgusting. "This is the United States of America, not Latin America," she notes by way of explanation for her disgust, and sardonically wonders if July readers looking to celebrate Independence Day will be subjected to "some great Mongolian or Ethiopian" recipe. She muses how in the past she would save each of Gourmet's "lovely issues," but notes that she will be "tossing out the June issue." Her reason that there is nothing in the issue worth saving is tacitly understood.
Readers have the freedom to think and write what they want, but it is up to the editors of the magazine to make the selection of which of the hundreds of letters they will print. These letters are selected and, as noted at the bottom of every issue, edited by staff. Most publications choose letters that show an equality of opinion and are representative of the many that they receive. They print both positive and negative letters, and sometimes respond to ones that pose a question or request further clarification. This is the first time, however, that I've come across a letter criticizing the magazine for, essentially, portraying too much diversity.
I understand that perhaps Gourmet was simply trying to allow "equal time" by choosing to print this letter, but in fact what they showed was a lack of judgment. Xenophobic and prejudiced people exist all over this country, but they certainly do not need to be provided with a soap box within the pages of a popular national magazine. On the most basic level, Ms. Marroso's letter lacked the clarity and organization of a well-thought out argument and should have been rejected on that basis alone. And her bigoted refusal to attempt what is quite possibly one of the most perfectly prosaic of all Mexican-influenced dishes, certainly did not merit the four-inches of space she was granted on that page.
Gourmet is a magazine that celebrates food and the experience of the "good life." Recipes both old and new, travel, restaurants, and traditions are all a part of this. Any reader, whether picking up the magazine for the first time, or a subscriber for 30 years, would instantly recognize this. Someone who finds the inclusion of a story about "El Barbecue," a popular tradition among Latin people living in, yes, the United States of America, offensive or who groans at the mere suggestion of trying an "Ethiopian" recipe, is reading the wrong magazine.
The idea that because this is a US-based magazine it should not feature recipes that are actually very deeply ingrained traditions for thousands of citizens of these United States is preposterous, offensive, and incredibly short-sighted. For many Americans, the recipes in the "El Barbecue" story are just as traditional to them as the homemade burgers on page 38 and the steak on the cover. Even if these were completely new recipes, discovered in the deepest reaches of the Amazon and never before heard of in the United States, they would be worth mentioning.
As a full-time magazine editor I know better than to print a letter that blatantly insults and dismisses a significant percentage of the readership. As a budding food writer with aspirations of one day seeing my own byline in Gourmet magazine, I understand the value of being within the pages of that magazine and can't believe that the editors that I respect so highly would have seen fit to include her words--even if only to make a point. Had it been up to me, I could have thought of quite a few ways to better fill that space.
For example, I might have chosen to remind Ms. Marroso that, with the possible exception of corn, nearly everything we eat in this country originated somewhere far away. That there was a time when extra virgin olive oil was not a staple at every dinner table. That pie, the quintessential American dish, originated in the filled flaky filo pastries of the Middle East. I would have pointed out that had it not been for a few clever traders passing through India, the Dutch would have never perfected the art of pickle-making and our all-American burgers would have been left seriously lacking. And (just for fun) I would have pointed out that the very word "gourmet," was appropriated from the language of a country an entire ocean away.
On Independence Day (the holiday whose menu seemed to cause Ms. Marroso much consternation), my boyfriend and I joined my family at a friend's condo in West New York, New Jersey. There, we spent the day watching the Mets play, winning thousands of imaginary dollars on a rerun of Jeopardy, and waiting for the Macy's fireworks to be displayed just a few feet away in the Hudson River. Our table was covered with a selection of alcapurrias, a traditional Puerto Rican yuca fritter filled with sauteed beef that my dad purchased at a nearby Cuban cafe. A guest brought flaky chicken empanadas and grilled Argentine churrasco. And our hostess, a native of Mexico, served us a platter of sliced cucumbers and mangoes served the way she grew up eating them, topped with sprinkles of salt and chile sauce. There were hot dogs, too, and a huge bowl of roasted peanuts. As the day waned and our bellies started once again to grumble, a few of us scrambled across the street to the newly-opened P.F. Chang's, returning with bags heavy with shrimp lo mein and oolong marinated sea bass.
The conversation throughout the day was a blend of English and Spanish, with a sprinkling of Russian when my Ukrainian-born boyfriend called home to speak to his parents. We drank Coca-Cola, Corona, and a couple bottles of Australian shiraz. Our hostess's dog, an adorable half German Shepard/half Chow, scrambled at our feet gobbling up the scraps that dropped to the ground. When the sun set, we grabbed our sweaters and walked down the street to the riverfront where we joined hundreds of other families staring up at the sky. My little brother, who completed five years of active duty in the United States Marine Corps just one year ago, winced visibly as the fireworks soared through the sky; the sound, he told us later, was exactly like that of the rockets that whistled through the sky during the year he served in Iraq. All around us, cameras flashed and families murmured and exclamations from the crowd rose up in a blend of Chinese, Spanish, French, and Arabic. The languages may have been different and the food might not have been "traditional," but the sentiment was absolutely united.
I have no idea what Ms. Marroso did for her Fourth of July, but I can assure you that it was no less American than my own.

Beautiful! I couldn't dream of saying it any better. I can't believe that Gourmet printed a letter like that -- and to make what point? That small-minded people who just want to read about "American" food are reading too? What on Earth is "American" food anyway, and I do use the quotation marks on purpose there -- is there anything that is really and truly something born right here in the US that didn't originate somewhere else?ReplyDelete
Really, that's pathetic.
Coincidentally, I would love for Gourmet to include a story on Ethiopian traditions and recipes for making some dishes -- I happen to love that cuisine.
Very well said. I had not read the gourmet letter but the things she said shocked me.How she could be so close minded to think that this nation is not what it is today because of the many cultures that are here is beyond me. Our 4th of July was full of various kinds of food as well: hot dogs, burgers, chips and salsa, stuffed jalapenos,chicken teryiaki and spicy pepper steak. Not for one minute did I think that I was any less of an American because I included "non-traditional" dishes. I hope someone who knows Ms. Marroso reads this and forwards it to her, she could stand to learn a few things.ReplyDelete
Well done! Props for speaking out in response. You should send a copy of your post to Gourmet. See if they exercise such an even-handed "equal time" policy.ReplyDelete
Frankly, I'm shocked that such a letter was published. There really is little point in spouting that type of narrow-mindedness. It does little more than reflect the shallowness of the speaker, and unfortunately, that image has now been reflected on Gourmet.
That's appalling. She missed the point *entirely* of a celebration highlighting the diversity of the country.ReplyDelete
The fact that Gourmet published it is alarming. Is Palin-esque faux patriotism really a core segment of their readership?
In any case, good for you for taking a stand against such bigotry.
Your response is everything that Ms. Marroso's wasn't - measured, erudite and well-informed. I feel only sadness for her that she is unable to free her mind and her tastebuds to the wonders of the global kitchen. Many thanks for writing this excellent piece!ReplyDelete
yeah, it's a food magazine... they should stick to what they know and not try to make a statement by printing a letter like that... i bet the view was great from w. ny, btw.ReplyDelete
Bravo - wait that isnt an 'american' word!ReplyDelete
Well said, very well said. Thanks for having the guts to address this issue. I still can't believe Gourmet printed the letter too, it seems that it's just a sign that there are still people that are ignorant of other cultures and what being "American" means these days.ReplyDelete
Alejandra, you rock! I think it is ironic that a citizen of a country that markets itself as a melting pot - both culturally and culinary - can display such a narrowminded way of thinking. I'm happy for America that it has representatives like you and your family.ReplyDelete
Also, it is 'funny' to read as an European. Even though Denmark has strong culinary traditions (hering, meatballs, and basically all kinds of pork), we can't stop borrowing from other countries. I still remember when my dad brought home the first avocados and kiwis, and when we started making italian food.
Today, the national dish may in reality be some sort of bolognaise - not the standard meatballs. Same goes for Britain, where it might be the roast with yorkshire pudding that are named as the national dish, where in reality it's probably an Indian curry.
My point is, Ms. Marroso with all she's lacking (openmindedness, imagination, creativity) is a poor citizen in a world that's getting smaller and has so much to offer culinary-wise. And she must be, I'm guessing, a poor cook as well.

Two things:ReplyDelete
A) Well done, young lady! Way to foster a decidedly American response to such pablum.
#2) Why wasn't I invited to that yummy 4th of July celebration? I like the Mets AND all the food you mentioned!!
Funny thing, Marroso does not sound like *very Authentic-American* (as if such thing) either!!!!!!!!!.....haha. The beauty of USA is the *melange* of different cultures and races, a country built by natives and immigrants from all over the world.ReplyDelete
Anyway, loved your open letter and loved the way you celebrate your 4th of July.

Well said and well written!!! Shame on Gourmet for printing that without a response, so very sad to hear how small minded people can be.ReplyDelete
I didn't see the issue of Gourmet, but what you wrote was absolutely perfect in response! Sounds like you had a wonderful 4th!ReplyDelete
I agree with you that the woman has a right to her opinion, and it is so far removed from my own that it makes me shake my head in wonder about her sheltered life.ReplyDelete
Did she choose to close herself off to the wonderful, diverse world around her? Why?
As far as Gourmet printing the letter, perhaps they wanted to get some tongues wagging -- and they did.
You wrote an extremely passionate, compelling and intelligent response. I hope the Gourmet editors read it. Well-done.
Thanks to Ms. Marroso and your blog, I'm heading out this evening to purchase what sounds like an issue full of recipes that my husband and I will absolutely love. We're American, world travelers, adventurous eaters, and the "typical" food that Ms. Marroso wants to see in the pages of Gourmet rates fairly low on our scale of great American eating.ReplyDelete
Brighton is a smaller city (population less than 7,000) an hour away from my home in Lansing. While it does have a few restaurants that feature different ethnic cuisines (Greek, Mexican and a soon-to-be born Japanese steakhouse), most of the local eateries are of the Applebees and Cracker Barrel varieties. Perhaps Ms. M has simply never had the opportunity or desire to step out of her culinary box and experience the wonderful variety of foods that make up America.
Kudos on your blog & recipes. I just ran across it and will be trying out a number of the recipes (sadly reducing or substituting for some of the butter, heavy cream & bacon fat . . . oh to be 21 again and able to eat anything I wanted and never gain weight . . .)
Well, I'd put it the way my mother would: if Missy White Food doesn't like adobo (of any kind) and refried beans (of any kind): "ALL THE MORE FOR US!"ReplyDelete
Good for you. Well-written, well-reasoned. One of the positive joys of being in a country as diverse as the US is the choice of cuisines to delight in and experiment with; I'm pretty much your standard European-stock mutt with a lot of Welsh and French, but I cook Japanese and German and the Cajun/Creole I grew up with in the south. Does that make me less American than Ms. Marroso? Not bloody likely.ReplyDelete
Congratulations to Gourmet Magazine for their diversity and their triumph over small-minded little people like Ms. Marroso; I doubt I'd find her table to be either satisfying or interesting.
Awesome letter! I agree, Gourmet shouldn't have printed the letter from Marroso. There are plenty of venues for bigotry and narrowmindedness as it is, no need to take up space in a widely-read magazine.ReplyDelete
Your 4th of July celebration sounds just as fabulous as mine, with food just as diverse.
I remember a few years ago when Gourmet had the cutest cupcake-adorned cake on its cover. For gawd knows what reason, it actually generated a good amount of hate mail. I remember asking Ruth Reichl about this, and she, too, was taken aback by the response. But I guess some people just thought cupcakes were too demeaning or too lowbrow to grace the cover of the magazine.ReplyDelete
Yes, Gourmet did print those letters, just as it did with the one you're referring to. The magazine's editors might not agree with the sentiment expressed in the letter, but it has a duty to present all sides of an issue. Well, as long as it's not blatantly inaccurate or profane. As a long-time journalist who also has been an editor, I know there have been times I've disagreed with a quote or letter to the editor. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have a right to be aired. That's what free speech is all about. We don't have to agree with every opinion. But we are lucky to live in a country where people can speak their minds. The price we pay for that freedom is that we sometimes hear things we don't necessarily like. But that's really a small price to pay for what we get in return.
I agree with Carolyn Jung on free speech. But the cupcake letter was just snobbery; sneering at Ethiopian or Mexican culture is just racism (please nobody try to make out the letter writer wasn't going there).ReplyDelete
Hear hear! Good for you for distilling this so effectively. I am shocked that something so ignorant made it to the pages of that magazine.ReplyDelete

BRAVO! As the child of a German father and an American mother, I was constantly asked which culture I liked better and which one I related to more-two questions that seemed to imply that these two parts of me had to be separated and could not coexist within a little girl. I knew that the reason I could never answer those questions wasn't due to the fact that I was a bad, half, or not even an American at all, but the result of people's inability to look beyond their own backyard. And as the faithful front page framer of Gourmet magazine it has always warmed my heart to see the flavors of my youth nestled side by side in its pages.ReplyDelete
you don't think it was tongue-in-cheek? to illustrate how ignorant she was?ReplyDelete
Hi,radish; it's the second letter of its type Gourmet published, within a few months. What is Gourmet trying to say? "This is a bad example?" "Aren't you glad we're not LIKE this person?" "Let's publish an annoying, narrow-minded letter and set off a flurry of controversy?" I'll bet that letter-writer has never enjoyed haggis, pork liver and onions or nettle soup. Now I'm feeling sorry for her.ReplyDelete
Radish: I certainly don't think that the editors of Gourmet agreed with what the writer of the letter had to say, but I think that when not framed within the proper context, a letter like that can be incredibly problematic and offensive. While we might easily recognize it as being such, I'm certain that there are others that would not.ReplyDelete
There is a difference between printing a letter by someone who didn't like a particular lemon cake or who has had trouble finding ingredients in the recipes, and printing a letter by someone who objects on blatantly prejudiced grounds. The phrase about this being the US, not Latin America, is particularly offensive within that context. I'm certain Gourmet would never print a letter by a reader who used racist or derogatory epithets; a phrase like this one could be read with the same meaning.
It is also worth pointing out that in this case, the complaint about the supposed excess of internationally influenced recipes was hardly valid. The issue was dedicated to grilling and boasted recipes from all over the US and around the world, and certainly offered recipes that would appeal to a variety of tastes. To oppose the inclusion of a handful of Hispanic recipes within one issue is absurd and clearly points towards the personal prejudices of the author.

Is Palin-esque faux patriotismReplyDelete
And you call this Palin-esque why?
How very well written. IN defense of the Gourmet editors, my immediate thought was that they purposely published that letter because they KNEW there would be hundreds of responses. That type of letter sparks readers that may never write in to voice their opinion. And that my friend, makes for good reading. I'm willing to bet that there will be several responses printing in the next issue ;)ReplyDelete
Brava, Alejandra! Well said ... I'm so happy that I read this post. Good for you!ReplyDelete
I finally had time to open my issue of Gourmet tonight and was appalled at this letter too! So glad to see that I'm not the only one who thought Marlynn Marroso's letter was bigoted and small-minded. What will she serve her guests? I guess not the Ultimate Burger with homemade buns from page 40, the grilled skirt steak and arugula salad from page 49, the penne with grilled portabellas from page 50, the peach-lacquered chicken wings from page 56, or the lime-cury rubbed hanger steak from page 60... She claims to have been an off and on subscriber for 30 years? Mostly OFF, I'd say.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your excellent open letter and for giving me somewhere to vent my own irritation!

I'm also laughing here, because 'Marroso' sounds like an Italian name. My own is Irish. I'm thinking that unless your name is "Golden Eagle" or something similar, you're probably not REALLY American... whatever that means.
So wonderfully expressed. I didn't read the letter to the editor, but I already know I don't want to read it, and I am grateful my time was better spent reading your insightful response.ReplyDelete
I was also a bit surprised to see this strong of a reaction to a barbecue in Gourmet (my first thought was, damn, I'm making that bacon adobo) but you should've seen the angry letters in response the Latin American-themed September 2007 issue. Crazies.ReplyDelete

Cooking techniques aside, what would we be missing if no "furriners" had brought their food here..These items were not indigenous to what is now "The United States": chocolate, coffee, tea, coconut, cinnamon, vanilla, soy, olives, tomatoes, potatoes, citrus, CATTLE, scotch, rum, vodka, sherry, port, bananas, white rice, cashews, brazil nuts, avocados, pistachios (oh-oh, there we go with the middle-east!). The list is endless. What a boring diet we would have. No pasta, no pesto, no pizza for what sound like an Italian name to me.ReplyDelete
Living in the Southwest, we see this nasty racism everyday. The reader forgets that Arizona, California, et al were once part of Mexico!
Our food, like our citizens, is simply an amalgam of everything, and mostly the good things!
Given that print media is a dying animal, I have to agree with several others who have already opined that Gourmet may have intentionally printed this letter in an attempt to pump up interest/readership. I am not a regular reader of the magazine (in fact, that was the first issue I have ever read, and so my first thought upon reading Ms. Marroso's letter was, "Wow, who knew a cooking magazine would inspire such anger!"), but I have to believe that any national magazine receives enough letters to have plenty to choose from. Pretty bush league, Gourmet...ReplyDelete
beautiful post. i'm a bit late commenting on this one, but i couldn't help thinking about the thanksgiving my housemates & i hosted in 2007 - in australia for starters, and with 35 people from six continents (just needed an elusive antarctic research scientist). we were even magnanimous enough to invite some canadians.ReplyDelete
cheers to global citizenship!
Alejandra, thank you! I've been using Gourmet magazine to write a blog of my own and I wanted to respond to this letter by Ms. Marroso's as well. Now I don't have to, because you said all I wanted to so beautifully. What I appreciated most about your letter was the tact and insight that you applied in your response, when it would have been so easy to be insulting.ReplyDelete
Well put! I couldn't have said it better myselft. Shame on you Marlynn Marosso shame!ReplyDelete

I'm shocked that I Googled this bigot and found she won an award for community service as a nursing instruction for UoM.ReplyDelete

Now she was round and as pure as the morning light, crystal clear and like a tiny silver mirror she was able to catch and give back every colour in the world about her.
— Paul Gallico, Snowflake
Somewhere in the world, it's snowing. But you don't need to go far—it's always snowing on this page. Explore light flurries, snowflake families and individual flakes. There are many unusual snowflakes and snowflake family 12 and family 46 are very interesting.
But don't settle for only pixel snowflakes—make an STL file and 3D print your own flakes!
Ad blockers may interfere with some flake images—the names of flakes can trigger ad filters.
And if after reading about my flakes you want more, get your frozen fix with Kenneth Libbrecht's excellent work and Paul Gallico's Snowflake.
This page uses code contributed by Alexander Pruss to generate an STL file for any of the flakes in the catalogue. The code is now hosted here to cross-origin requests.

Britt Robertson, 33, has been dubbed "the Sexiest Actress Alive" by Glamour's magazine in its December 2023 issue out this week.
UPDATE 08/12/2023 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
For the second year in a row 2022 and 2023
The magazine has released its annual list of the 100 women who made history hotter, and the honors go to exactly who you thought they would (if you keep up with celebrity news): Britt Robertson, the actress best known for her role in The Longest Ride. For the second year in a row, our gorgeous hottie beat out some other equally hot women for the number one spot! And we can't say we disagree!
Twitter Frenzy
Within minutes of Britt Robertson being announced as this year's winner, it had become the top trending topic on Twitter:
"She is unquestionably beautiful, she's been smartly building her career on more than her looks," wrote one fan.
"#Britt Robertson being named THE Sexiest Woman Alive makes her boyfriend the luckiest Man Alive?" joked another one.
The major upside of the award is that the American actress will be getting plenty of press for the next few weeks. So what do you say? Do you think Britt Robertson is the Sexiest Actress Alive? And if not, who gets your vote?

(ENEWSPF)– Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored to be considered for the nomination for Vice President of the United States…
I accept the call to help our nominee for president to serve and defend America.
I accept the challenge of a tough fight in this election… against confident opponents … at a crucial hour for our country.
And I accept the privilege of serving with a man who has come through much harder missions … and met far graver challenges … and knows how tough fights are won – the next president of the United States, John S. McCain.
It was just a year ago when all the experts in Washington counted out our nominee because he refused to hedge his commitment to the security of the country he loves.
With their usual certitude, they told us that all was lost – there was no hope for this candidate who said that he would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war.
But the pollsters and pundits overlooked just one thing when they wrote him off.
They overlooked the caliber of the man himself – the determination, resolve, and sheer guts of Senator John McCain. The voters knew better.
And maybe that's because they realize there is a time for politics and a time for leadership … a time to campaign and a time to put our country first.
Our nominee for president is a true profile in courage, and people like that are hard to come by.
He's a man who wore the uniform of this country for 22 years, and refused to break faith with those troops in Iraq who have now brought victory within sight.
And as the mother of one of those troops, that is exactly the kind of man I want as commander in chief. I'm just one of many moms who'll say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm's way.
Our son Track is 19.
And one week from tomorrow – September 11th – he'll deploy to Iraq with the Army infantry in the service of his country.
My nephew Kasey also enlisted, and serves on a carrier in the Persian Gulf.
My family is proud of both of them and of all the fine men and women serving the country in uniform. Track is the eldest of our five children.
In our family, it's two boys and three girls in between – my strong and kind-hearted daughters Bristol, Willow, and Piper.
And in April, my husband Todd and I welcomed our littlest one into the world, a perfectly beautiful baby boy named Trig. From the inside, no family ever seems typical.
That's how it is with us.
Our family has the same ups and downs as any other … the same challenges and the same joys.
Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge.
And children with special needs inspire a special love.
To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters.
I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House. Todd is a story all by himself.
He's a lifelong commercial fisherman … a production operator in the oil fields of Alaska's North Slope … a proud member of the United Steel Workers' Union … and world champion snow machine racer.
Throw in his Yup'ik Eskimo ancestry, and it all makes for quite a package.
We met in high school, and two decades and five children later he's still my guy. My Mom and Dad both worked at the elementary school in our small town.
And among the many things I owe them is one simple lesson: that this is America, and every woman can walk through every door of opportunity.
My parents are here tonight, and I am so proud to be the daughter of Chuck and Sally Heath. Long ago, a young farmer and habber-dasher from Missouri followed an unlikely path to the vice presidency.
A writer observed: "We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity, and dignity." I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind when he praised Harry Truman.
I grew up with those people.
They are the ones who do some of the hardest work in America … who grow our food, run our factories, and fight our wars.
They love their country, in good times and bad, and they're always proud of America. I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town.
I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids' public education better.
When I ran for city council, I didn't need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too.
Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown.
And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves.
I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening.
We tend to prefer candidates who don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
As for my running mate, you can be certain that wherever he goes, and whoever is listening, John McCain is the same man. I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment.< br>
And I've learned quickly, these past few days, that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.
But here's a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion – I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.
Politics isn't just a game of clashing parties and competing interests.
The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it.
No one expects us to agree on everything.
But we are expected to govern with integrity, good will, clear convictions, and … a servant's heart.
I pledge to all Americans that I will carry myself in this spirit as vice president of the United States. This was the spirit that brought me to the governor's office, when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau … when I stood up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies, and the good-ol' boys network.
Sudden and relentless reform never sits well with entrenched interests and power brokers. That's why true reform is so hard to achieve.
But with the support of the citizens of Alaska, we shook things up.
And in short order we put the government of our state back on the side of the people.
I came to office promising major ethics reform, to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is the law.
While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor's office that I didn't believe our citizens should have to pay for.
That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay.
I also drive myself to work.
And I thought we could muddle through without the governor's personal chef – although I've got to admit that sometimes my kids sure miss her. I came to office promising to control spending – by request if possible and by veto if necessary.
Senator McCain also promises to use the power of veto in defense of the public interest – and as a chief executive, I can assure you it works.
Our state budget is under control.
We have a surplus.
And I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending: nearly half a billion dollars in vetoes.
I suspended the state fuel tax, and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress.
I told the Congress "thanks, but no thanks," for that Bridge to Nowhere.
If our state wanted a bridge, we'd build it ourselves. When oil and gas prices went up dramatically, and filled up the state treasury, I sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged – directly to the people of Alaska.
And despite fierce opposition from oil company lobbyists, who kind of liked things the way they were, we broke their monopoly on power and resources.
As governor, I insisted on competition and basic fairness to end their control of our state and return it to the people.
I fought to bring about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history.
And when that deal was struck, we began a nearly forty billion dollar natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence.
That pipeline, when the last section is laid and its valves are opened, will lead America one step farther away from dependence on dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart.
The stakes for our nation could not be higher.
When a hurricane strikes in the Gulf of Mexico, this country should not be so dependent on imported oil that we are forced to draw from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
And families cannot throw away more and more of their paychecks on gas and heating oil.
With Russia wanting to control a vital pipeline in the Caucasus, and to divide and intimidate our European allies by using energy as a weapon, we cannot leave ourselves at the mercy of foreign suppliers.
To confront the threat that Iran might seek to cut off nearly a fifth of world energy supplies … or that terrorists might strike again at the Abqaiq facility in Saudi Arabia … or that Venezuela might shut off its oil deliveries … we Americans need to produce more of our own oil and gas.
And take it from a gal who knows the North Slope of Alaska: we've got lots of both.
Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America's energy problems – as if we all didn't know that already.
But the fact that drilling won't solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all.
Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we're going to lay more pipelines … build more new-clear plants … create jobs with clean coal … and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources.
We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers. I've noticed a pattern with our opponent.
Maybe you have, too.
We've all heard his dramatic speeches before devoted followers.
And there is much to like and admire about our opponent.
But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform – not even in the state senate.
This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word "victory" except when he's talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot – what exactly is our opponent's plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he's done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger … take more of your money … give you more orders from Washington … and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world. America needs more energy … our opponent is against producing it.
Victory in Iraq is finally in sight … he wants to forfeit.
Terrorist states are seeking new-clear weapons without delay … he wants to meet them without preconditions.
Al Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America … he's worried that someone won't read them their rights? Government is too big … he wants to grow it.
Congress spends too much … he promises more.
Taxes are too high … he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan, and let me be specific.
The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes … raise payroll taxes … raise investment income taxes … raise the death tax … raise business taxes … and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars. My sister Heather and her husband have just built a service station that's now opened for business – like millions of others who run small businesses.
How are they going to be any better off if taxes go up? Or maybe you're trying to keep your job at a plant in Michigan or Ohio … or create jobs with clean coal from Pennsylvania or West Virginia … or keep a small farm in the family right here in Minnesota.
How are you going to be better off if our opponent adds a massive tax burden to the American economy? Here's how I look at the choice Americans face in this election.
In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers.
And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.
They're the ones whose names appear on laws and landmark reforms, not just on buttons and banners, or on self-designed presidential seals.
Among politicians, there is the idealism of high-flown speechmaking, in which crowds are stirringly summoned to support great things.
And then there is the idealism of those leaders, like John McCain, who actually do great things. They're the ones who are good for more than talk … the ones we have always been able to count on to serve and defend America. Senator McCain's record of actual achievement and reform helps explain why so many special interests, lobbyists, and comfortable committee chairmen in Congress have fought the prospect of a McCain presidency – from the primary election of 2000 to this very day.
Our nominee doesn't run with the Washington herd.
He's a man who's there to serve his country, and not just his party.
A leader who's not looking for a fight, but is not afraid of one either. Harry Reid, the Majority Leader of the current do-nothing Senate, not long ago summed up his feelings about our nominee.
He said, quote, "I can't stand John McCain." Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps no accolade we hear this week is better proof that we've chosen the right man. Clearly what the Majority Leader was driving at is that he can't stand up to John McCain. That is only one more reason to take the maverick of the Senate and put him in the White House. My fellow citizens, the American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of "personal discovery." This world of threats and dangers is not just a community, and it doesn't just need an organizer.
And though both Senator Obama and Senator Biden have been going on lately about how they are always, quote, "fighting for you," let us face the matter squarely.
There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you … in places where winning means survival and defeat means death … and that man is John McCain. In our day, politicians have readily shared much lesser tales of adversity than the nightmare world in which this man, and others equally brave, served and suffered for their country.
It's a long way from the fear and pain and squalor of a six-by-four cell in Hanoi to the Oval Office.
But if Senator McCain is elected president, that is the journey he will have made.
It's the journey of an upright and honorable man – the kind of fellow whose name you will find on war memorials in small towns across this country, only he was among those who came home.
To the most powerful office on earth, he would bring the compassion that comes from having once been powerless … the wisdom that comes even to the captives, by the grace of God … the special confidence of those who have seen evil, and seen how evil is overcome. A fellow prisoner of war, a man named Tom Moe of Lancaster, Ohio, recalls looking through a pin-hole in his cell door as Lieutenant Commander John McCain was led down the hallway, by the guards, day after day.
As the story is told, "When McCain shuffled back from torturous interrogations, he would turn toward Moe's door and flash a grin and thumbs up" – as if to say, "We're going to pull through this." My fellow Americans, that is the kind of man America needs to see us through these next four years.
For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words.
For a lifetime, John McCain has inspired with his deeds.
If character is the measure in this election … and hope the theme … and change the goal we share, then I ask you to join our cause. Join our cause and help America elect a great man as the next president of the United States.
Thank you all, and may God bless America.

And...the oven died or is very sick. It's getting a check up now, so I'm making no-bake items.
Broken Glass Jello, you use 4 different flavors (3 ounce boxes). For the Christmas one, I used a 6 ounce box of Raspberry and Lime. Here is the full recipe for Broken Glass Jello.
