Katsuo no Tataki (Seared Bonito) with Overwhelming Condiments
It was proven that we were capable of surviving after a natural disaster, provided that there were rice, vegetables and fresh bonito around. LOL
I wrote the above sentence when I was a bit drunk, and now I realize that it sounds pretty awkward. (Well, my English is usually awkward anyway, but I mean, this is much more awkward than usual.)
How about this? "It was proven that we had the capability to survive after a natural disaster, provided that there would be rice, vegetables and fresh bonito around."
Oh well... It's not the grammar that's important. The most important thing is that my funny English can make some people feel better. (Right? ;))

Jelly Bean does not come with Chrome. It's only the Nexus 7. On my Galaxy Nexus, "Browser" is default, and Chrome must be installed manually.
As a web-app developer, I can for sure say that "Browser" is better than Chrome in many ways. It supports things that Chrome either doesn't support or they are buggy.
The purple, "Innebygd nettleser", is "Browser". It is best.
Also, it is not Chrome's engine that is used when creating an app that shows a web page (WebView), but "Browser"'s engine.
I don't understand why Google doesn't use "Browser"'s engine and just make Chrome a nice frame around it, like on iOS. On iOS, you know that if your web app works in Safari, it works just as good in Chrome (except for touch gestures like swipe in from left or right, where Chrome uses it to switch tabs).

Mario Batali Cooks!: It just wouldn't be Food Week without celebrity superchef Mario Batali stopping by, now would it? Thankfully, he released his first official iPhone app, Mario Batali Cooks!, earlier this week, offering a nice collection of signature recipes with video, images, shopping lists and built-in timers to keep you on track. And that's just the tip of the iceberg lettuce—there's also a nice glossary of cooking terms, advice on food and wine pairings and more. Keep in mind that this is Mario Batali, so some of the recipes are a bit fancy, but overall it's a very nice package that won't disappoint fans. $5
NYT Scoop:
NYT's snazzy Scoop app gives you, well, the scoop on what to do in New York. Where to eat, where to shop, where to visit. It's pretty grand. But a new coffee section called the Filter, curated by Times diner Oliver Strand, will make sure you always know where to get a decent cup of Joe, wherever you are in the city. And that's priceless. Free.
Awareness: The Headphone App: A smart looking app with a smart aim: to make sure your headphones don't keep you from hearing important stuff. Like the horn of a car that's about to hit you. Basically, Awareness keeps track of the things that are sounding off around you when you're blissfully ignorant in headphone land. If a sound is loud enough, Awareness turns on your iPhone's mic and pipes that audio in on top of your music. I wouldn't take it as carte blanche to start biking around town wearing your Dre Beats, but even if it potentially keeps you out of harms way one time it's worthwhile. $5
Ruler 2: Lemme tell you about Ruler 2:
For a device with a 3" screen, the iPhone has a pretty impressive resume: Phone, map, camera, sketchbook, dedicated Doodle Jump playing machine. And for $1, the newly revamped Ruler 2 app makes it a pretty decent measuring thinger, too.
Ruler 2, an overhauled version of an apparently less-good Ruler 1, offers a simple, functional ruler that you can drag to measure things smaller than the size of your screen. Measuring things that are longer than your iPhone (or your iPad-it's a universal app) isn't quite as precise: you swipe the ruler to extend it a length and then physically move your iPhone, keeping track of where the left side of the screen should be with your finger. It sounds kind of confusing, but a nice how to video that plays when you first launch the app brings you up to speed quickly.
Measurements can be labeled and saved to a folder, so you don't have to mark them down elsewhere, and overall the app has a nice, straightforward design. If you think you'll ever need to measure something small with accuracy, or measure something slightly less small with slightly less accuracy, Ruler 2's worth your dolla.
$1. Get measuring!
Due: Due is a super clean and super quick way to set up timed reminders for yourself. It's far from the only app that does this, but I'm a sucker for apps that do one thing and one thing well, especially if they look nice while they're doing it. $3.
iFlux Capacitor: There are two kinds of people in life: those who think a beautiful Flux Capacitor app that doesn't really do anything is really awesome, and those who think it's really stupid. I belong to the former group. $1
Pickin' Time: Remember that time you wished you had a really cute and engaging app to give your kids that would make vegetables FUN while also teaching them to distinguish their strawberries from their schnozberries? It's here and it's called Pickin' Time, made by the same group behind Twitterific. If your kids are on your iPhone or iPad all the time anyway, you might as well give them something healthy to play with. $2
Gangstar: Miami Vindication: Miami Vindication, the latest title from the Willy Wonka Factory of iPhone games that is GameLoft, is basically I Can't Believe It's Not GTA Vice City. On your iPhone. Which is to say, it's pretty awesome. $7.
Hey Wire: Useful for compulsive texters, and especially for compulsive international texters, Hey Wire gives you a new number and lets you SMS any of your friends, anywhere, for free. It also supports Facebook chat, with more services on the way. It seems a little bit too good to be true, and the app did seem a little bit janky from time to time, but generally it works, and it's free. Free!

Last piece of Son of Beast comes crashing down
Plans for former coaster space uncertain
Last piece of Son of Beast comes crashing down
Plans for former coaster space uncertain
Kings Island has completed demolition of a troubled roller coaster last used in 2009.
The park said Tuesday it brought down the coaster's 218-foot lift hill two months after work began.
The ride opened in 2000 and was billed as the world's tallest and fastest wooden coaster with a signature loop, but was idled repeatedly.
It closed for nearly a year for reconstruction after a 2006 accident injured more than two dozen people, then closed again after a woman reported being hurt in 2009.
Park officials considered options, then decided to give up on the ride. It's not yet known what may go up in the coaster's place someday
After demolition began, Kings Island sold plaques holding a piece of the track.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- We love our small home because it is a reflection of all of our favorite things. There are elements of over-the-top flair like the Union Jack wall and the 10 foot bookcase, balanced with areas of calming blank expanses. We love living in the ever-changing city, but knowing that our home is a low-maintenance haven where creativity can flourish. We don't require a lot of stuff, but the stuff we have counts.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- The biggest challenge for us is that we enjoy a lot of hobbies. In our small apartment, we house three bicycles, bicycle mechanics tools, home improvement tools, climbing gear, snowboarding gear, bicycling gear, sewing equipment, a large collection of media, and a delightful collection of books. And we like minimalism. You do the math.

(sorry, I am not sure what his English name is) Frankly, I like his movie although I don't understand what he tries to tell us. One of the reasons why I love his movies is the dialogues therein. For me, the dialogues in his movies are interesting and sometimes philosophic. Besides, his exclusive photographer, Mr. Du (again I am uncertain of his English name), has done a wonderful job as well. I think these two features constitute a unique style of his own. Anyway, his movies might not be accepted by those who don't like this kind of style, but he is still one of my favorite directors!

RVIA Hikes Forecasts at 2013 Annual Meeting
March 9, 2013 by Sherman Goldenberg · Comments Off on RVIA Hikes Forecasts at 2013 Annual Meeting
The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association's (RVIA) 2013 Annual Meeting, March 4-7 in Orlando, Fla., provided a fast-paced look at the national trade association's affairs and at the industry the Reston, Va.-based association represents. And the picture as presented this past week was a positive one in most every respect, as Chairman Doug Gaeddert, a general manager for Elkhart, Ind.-based Forest River Inc., pointed out in his Tuesday (March 5) Membership Meeting remarks.
"Last year, when we were together in Palm Springs, the RV market was continuing its ascent out of the abyss of 2008 and 2009," Gaeddert told the members at the outset of his comments. "2011 year-end shipments had grown by 4% over 2010 totals. Shipments in early 2012 were running about 10% over the previous year, and projections put shipments at 265,000 units by the end of 2012.
"As we continued through 2012, the RV market built even greater momentum, ending the year at 285,750 units – a gain of 13% over 2011 and 20,000 units higher than the spring forecast," added Gaeddert. "And the momentum keeps building. Through the early months of 2013, shipments are continuing to rise and there are outstanding reports from shows and dealerships throughout the U.S. and Canada of elevated attendance, exceptional sales results and high overall consumer interest in RV ownership."
Current forecasts are calling for shipments exceeding 307,000 units by year's end, added Gaeddert, noting that would be the highest annual total since 2007 and one of the best "storm adjusted" years in recent history.
Behind the upswing, Gaeddert surmised, are continued gains in household wealth due to an improving stock market and rising home values plus modest gains in income and employment. Another factor is improved credit availability and terms, as the number of companies participating in the wholesale and retail RV credit markets rises.
In other Annual Meeting business:
• RVIA President Richard Coon presented a detailed glimpse of membership and shipment trends over the past few years, while RVIA's Vice President of Administration Mac Bryan provided a detailed look at the association's finances indicating that the trade group, along with most of its members, has taken a big step forward from the brink of the recession.
• RVIA Vice President of Public Relations and Advertising James Ashurst offered an update on the association's PR program as well as the Go RVing Coalition's initial 2013 campaign.
• American Recreation Coalition (ARC) President Derrick Crandall touched on the latest issues with regard to outdoor recreation on federal lands.
• Seminars included "A Campground Outlook" from Kampgrounds of America Inc. (KOA) Chairman and CEO Jim Rogers; "An Economic Outlook" with Lowell Catlett, dean of the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences at New Mexico State University; and a panel discussion on "Succeeding in Today's RV Market" with Mark Beecher, Bank of the West, Phil Ingrassia, president of the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA), Bob Martin, Thor Industries Inc., Bill Osborne, Navistar RV and Martin Street, Stag-Parkway Inc.
• A dinner crowd saluted Past Chairman Gregg Fore, president of Dicor Corp., an Elkhart, Ind.-based RV industry supplier, at a Chairman's Reception and Dinner.
• The association's executive committee met prior to the week's general agenda, while the association's Strategic Planning Committee also sat down prior to the kickoff of the Annual Meeting.
Rogers, meanwhile, urged the recreational vehicle sector to work more closely in the future with the accommodations component of the industry, the RV parks and campgrounds. Focusing on "mutual objectives," he pointed out, could go a long way toward "nurturing this industry in ways it has not been" in the past.
"Just being invited today by Richard to participate with you has reminded me that I've been back at KOA for 13 years and this is the first time that I've actually had the opportunity to talk to RVIA," said Rogers, a former Harrah's executive from Reno in his address during the Membership Meeting. "It's a pleasure to be here and to see so many familiar faces."
The bottom line from Rogers: There's a big market out there in North America's campgrounds, many of whom are camping in tents, to which a marketing-minded RV industry ought to look for growth.
"Well, we have an audience out there that are already staying outdoors, and they're at my campgrounds," said Rogers. "And they're your prospects — the people that probably have a greater livelihood of buying an RV because they're already in the outdoor lifestyle."

Justin Verlander is going to be around for a while, living large. The Detroit Tigers' best pitcher agreed to a five-year contract extension Friday that will keep him with the team through at least 2019 and make him the highest-paid pitcher in baseball for a while.
LAKELAND | Justin Verlander is going to be around for a while, living large.
The Detroit Tigers' best pitcher agreed to a five-year contract extension Friday that will keep him with the team through at least 2019 and make him the highest-paid pitcher in baseball for a while.
"I wasn't shy about saying I want to play my career here," Verlander said after the Tigers concluded their 77th spring in Lakeland with an 8-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. "I'm blessed to have an organization that wants me around and to be in a Tiger uniform for hopefully the rest of my career."
According to the terms of the extension, Verlander will be paid $28 million in each of the years 2015 through 2019. He will make $20 million this season and next season through the terms of the five-year contract he signed in 2010. In 2020, a "vesting option" will net him another $22 million if he finishes among the top five in the voting for the 2019 American League Cy Young Award. If that happens, the total value of his contract from this day forward will be $202 million.
After Felix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners signed a seven-year, $175 million contract, Verlander had expressed an interest in becoming baseball's first $200 million picker.
"I have a chance to get to $200 million," he said Friday. "I've just got to earn it."
Tigers president and �general manager Dave Dombrowski acknowledged that the length of the contract represented a risk to the Tigers even if Verlander, who turned 30 this month, has been the most dependable pitcher in the game over the last seven years.
"We all know that there's a risk with pitching, but from a pitching perspective and from a club's perspective you try to minimize those risks as much as you can," Dombrowski said. "I think in Justin's case �— first of all, his ability, but second his work ethic — you see what he does, day in and day out, to prepare himself, you're talking about an unusual individual to be able to achieve what he has."
Since signing a five-year, $80 million contract in 2010, Verlander has gone 59-22. He won the American League Most Valuable Player and Cy Young awards in 2011 and led the Tigers to the American League pennant last season. He has a career record of 124-65 and an earned run average of 3.40 in 232 starts, all with the Tigers.
"It's tough to put into words how much I love Detroit," he said. "It's a unique situation where I was drafted by the Tigers, and I've said a few times I've felt like I grew up in front of those fans. I did grow up in front of these fans, and they've been extremely supportive of me and this ballclub since Day One. They're the best fans in baseball.
"That's something special, and that's a big reason why I wanted to stick around here."
Verlander, who lives in Lakeland, will pitch the Tigers' regular-season opener at Minnesota on Monday night. He figures to be picking up a few tabs between now and then.
"He's buying every single dinner this year," said Tiger pitcher Max Scherzer. "I'm not even going to give him a token reach for my credit card."
Prince Fielder, Alex Avila and Omar Infante homered off the Rays' Jeremy Hellickson in Friday's game, played before a Marchant Stadium record crowd of 10,451.
Sam Fuld hit a home run for the Rays off Octavio Dotel after Scherzer pitched six shutout innings.
The Tigers also set a record for total spring attendance, drawing 139,935 in 18 dates. ... Manager Jim Leyland named the pitchers to follow Verlander in Monday's regular-season opener at Minnesota. Anibal Sanchez will pitch Wednesday and Rick Porcello on Thursday against Twins. Doug Fister will pitch the home opener against the New York Yankees on April 5, and Scherzer will pitch the fifth game on April 6. ... The Tigers and Rays will conclude their exhibition seasons today at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.

Probiotic may not help colic
In a large Australian trial of a popular type of "friendly bacteria," colicky babies given the probiotic product cried or fussed more than babies who were given placebo drops.
Despite smaller studies in the past suggesting that Lactobacillus reuteri might ease babies' colic, the authors of the new research say the new findings don't support use of the probiotic for that purpose.
"Probiotics should not be routinely recommended for all infants with colic because they are not effective for formula-fed babies with colic, and their effectiveness for breastfed babies with colic is uncertain," Dr. Valerie Sung told Reuters Health in an email.
Sung is a pediatrician and researcher with the Murdoch Children's Research Institute and Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.
There are currently no effective treatments for infants' colic, which is usually defined as fussing and crying for more than three hours a day. The exact cause of the problem remains uncertain, but it normally stops on its own by the time the baby is three to four months old.
Colic affects about one in five babies under the age of three months. Colicky babies are at a greater risk of shaken baby syndrome, and their mothers are more likely to be depressed and to stop breast-feeding early, according to past research
Previous studies have also found that babies with colic tend to have an imbalance of "good" verses "bad" bacteria in their guts, which can cause excess gas, bloating and pain.
Because some probiotics have been shown to provide health benefits and to restore a bacterial balance in the digestive tract, researchers have hoped that they might help reduce colic.
So far, results have been mixed.
"We decided to do this study after two published Italian studies showed L. reuteri to be effective in breastfed infants with colic whose mothers were on dairy-exclusion diets," Sung said.
"We recognized these studies' limitations and therefore set up a more rigorous trial aiming to find out whether L. reuteri would benefit both breast- and formula-fed infants regardless of their mothers' diets," she added.
The findings were published in the British Medical Journal.
For the study, Sung and her colleagues enrolled 167 healthy - but colicky - babies who were under 13 weeks of age. Most were recruited from the Royal Children's Hospital emergency department in Melbourne.
Parents gave the babies one daily dose of 6 drops of L. reuteri or a placebo for one month and were told to keep track for six months of the amount of time the babies spent crying or fussing, and of how much they slept.
The researchers found that the babies in both the treatment and placebo groups had similar results throughout the trial, except that colic symptoms declined even more in the placebo group during the first month than in babies getting the probiotic.
At the end of the first month, the babies who received the probiotic cried or fussed about 49 minutes more and slept about 47 minutes less per day than the babies in the placebo group. The difference was seen only among formula-fed infants, however, not among those who were breast-fed.
The researchers also collected stool samples after one month and found that the number and types of bacteria present in the babies' digestive tracts were about the same for those on probiotics and those getting placebo drops.
In addition, both groups had similar levels of calprotectin, a sign of inflammation. The exceptions were babies whose crying or fussing had dropped by 50 percent or more - they also had lower levels of calprotectin.
Sung said she and her colleagues were surprised by the results since the three smaller previous trials using the same probiotic at the same dose showed it to be beneficial.
Roger Clemens, who was not involved in the research, told Reuters Health that one possible problem with studies on colicky babies might be a poor understanding of what is normal, healthy flora of the digestive tract in babies.
'What we find is missing in all the papers - and there have been a lot of papers on this topic on probiotics and colicky babies - is that we don't know what that baseline is," said Clemens, a researcher and associate director of the regulatory science program at the University of Southern California School of Pharmacy in Los Angeles.
He said that even without that baseline information, this study is important because it's part of the pool of information that needs to be collected.
"Bottom line is, I'm not pessimistic with the study - I think it's a very important study that really needed to be done," he said. "I just think it just needs to be taken to the next step."
Sung said she and her colleagues are in the process of collaborating with other similar studies around the world to pool data for a larger analysis.
In the meantime, Sung advises parents to seek medical advice and gather as much practical support as they can at home to help them get through a very difficult phase, and to know that their baby's crying will improve over time.

OU looks like it's ready for Texas
NORMAN — Saturday night's game at Owen Field against the Ball State Cardinals could have been a scary game. For starters, the Cardinals entered with only one loss, and beat Big 10 opponent Indiana (coached by former Oklahoma Sooner Assistant Coach Kevin Wilson) — and not to mention it was the last game before the annual Red River Shootout, which will be at 11 a.m. this Saturday at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.But Sooner fans didn't worry for long, however. After the Cardinals cut the OU lead to 10-6 on Ball State place-kicker Steven Schott's 31-yard field goal with 12:38 left before halftime, the Sooners scored the game's 52 point en route to a 62-6 rout.Over the final 41:22, OU (4-0) looked about as good as anyone could — in all aspects, but especially on defense. Tony Jefferson had three interceptions on three straight Ball State possessions (and had a shot at a fourth straight pick), which all were capped by the OU offense scoring touchdowns."It was pleasing to come out and play so well," OU Coach Bob Stoops said in his postgame press conference. "We're very aware that Ball State is making some improvement. (First-year) Pete Lembo is going to do a great job there, and they're going to continue to get better. But our guys know that there are bigger challenges for us out there, but we still wanted to play in a good way — and play the way we're capable, and I felt like we did in all parts of the game. Overall, we coaches still feel that there's a lot that could be a lot better — and the players realize it, so that's the exciting part. We know we can still do some things better in anticipating for getting ready for (this) week — and try to polish things up."

On occasion, HorseRaceInsider provides a forum for alternate views from various segments of the racing industry. Media, foreign and domestic, prominent industry leaders, and leading handicapping practioners will be afforded an opportunity to express themselves independently. The following are the thoughts of foreign journalist Dr. Carlo Zuccoli regarding the possible installment of exchange betting in this country. Opposing comments are not only welcome but encouraged
Vade retro Satana ("Go back, Satan" or "Step back, Satan") is a Medieval Catholic formula for exorcism, recorded in a 1415 manuscript found in the Benedictine Metten Abbey in Bavaria.
In current Catholic tradition, the formula is used to repel any possible evil thing or happening, as a "spoken amulet".
The phrase Vade retro Satana is also used as a witty or scholarly prose device, dissociated from its religious implications, to express strong rejection of an unacceptable (but possibly tempting) proposal, or dread of some looming menace.
Namely, in the sense of 'do not tempt me', 'I will have nothing to do with that'."
Now that Monmouth Park 2011 race meeting has started all the horsemen in America can breathe deeply as no exchange, "the Devil," has begun working in New Jersey yet.
But they have missed the focus point and have been unable to create a working model for exchanges in the U.S. They very likely still haven't a definitive plan. I have to say luckily for America.
A few weeks ago, the Governor of New Jersey has signed a deal with the new lessee of Monmouth Park, but nobody has said a single word about the exchanges, namely Betfair.
All the members of the American media, on April 25th 2011, seemed very excited about the arrival of the exchanges in the US, during a conference call for the presentation of a study produced by Mr. Eugene Christiansen, funding partner of Christiansen Capital Advisors, LLC: "Exchange Betting and the United States Thoroughbred Racing Industry."
Mr. Christiansen was appointed by TVG to prepare the document (55 pages) and he started his presentation stating that in the UK, since the introduction of the exchanges (mainly Betfair), the prize money has gone up!
I tried hard to explain that, since the introduction of the exchanges, the English racing world is struggling and that the prize money has gone down and is going down dramatically for the simple reason that what the exchanges pay as a Levy is not enough.
Exchanges pay a 10 percent Gross Profit Tax on the commissions applied to the successful backer and layers, which can vary from 5% down to 2% depending on the amount of betting handle.
Compared to what the bookmakers pay for essentially the same service, the rate is ridiculously low.
The exchanges, of course, drain huge amounts of money from the bookmaking industry and the Levy is diminishing fast, as is the prize money.
A number of English trainers, owners, breeders, etc. has formed a group "The Horsemen's Group" which is boycotting all the tracks whose races don't meet certain "tariffs" [minimum prize money].
So far, the Horsemen's Group is very successful, but nobody knows what will happen in the long term if the exchanges are not stopped.
As I have already explained, the exchanges need a big liquidity to work properly. If any tax will be applied, in any way, the liquidity will disappear very quickly and the exchanges will fail.
I don't want to [reiterate] about the integrity of all the markets on which you can back or lay the outcome of an event, if you can determine that outcome.
American horsemen have been very lucky that the Devil hasn't able to cross the ocean yet; he is still working on a model [that would work here].
Let's hope that that road to America will be very long. Perhaps the monks in the Benedictine Metten Abbey will work for a just cause.

On January 15, The Schooba Academy launched its pilot program. On March 13, it went out with a bang. For their last event of the course, the Schoobents got back in pool to test their wits at some underwater science! (All underwater photos courtesy of Oceanblue Divers. Thank you!)
Again, we did our training at Waterside Plaza with Oceanblue Divers.
We got to the pool and began gearing up.
There was a quick refresher course, and we were all set to go!
Once underwater, some science was in order.
We then turned our science experiment into a football and invented a new sport! …All the while investigating the amazing properties of water.
The pool was our playground inside of a classroom. We scuba'd, we science'd, and we had a whole lot of fun. A few more shots from the day:
Big thanks to Oceanblue Divers and all who came down and helped out. More to come soon, so stay with the tune!

Families invited to an afternoon of classical selections
Greenwich Library may be known for the literary classics on its shelves, but on Saturday, Jan. 5, it also will be the scene of some time-honored tunes.
ClassNotes, the nonprofit organization award-winning violinist Sharon Roffman founded in 2006 to introduce young people to classical music, will visit the library for a free concert as part of the Ashforth Concert Series.
The event, titled "Storytelling through Music," will be in the Cole Auditorium and is expected to run for about 45 minutes.
Works by renowned composers, including Dvorak, Vivaldi, Beethoven and Mozart, will be performed by a chamber music ensemble made up of a group of international performers from the nonprofit's roster of musicians.
For instance, Roffman, who grew up in New Jersey, travels the world as a soloist, chamber musician and music educator.
ClassNotes' mission is to help young people gain enthusiasm and interest in classical music and to engage new listeners, according to organization's website.
Although the concert series is geared toward elementary school-aged children and their families, all are welcome. The free performances are made possible through the support of Georgie Ashforth and her late husband, Henry.
Greenwich resident Connie Marshall, who is a volunteer organizer of the program, said she and other volunteers keep their eyes (and ears) open for performers who would work well for the program.
"Many of the best performers come from recommendations of people who have already performed," said Marshall, who has volunteered for the past several years.
Series organizers look for performers who can deliver a top-notch show, even as they work to draw in the youngest audience members.
"It is important that they ask questions that engage them and bring them into the process," Marshall said.
The series, which began in 2004, is focused on classical music. However, over the years, the group has added jazz performances to the schedule. For instance, the award-winning Westchester Jazz Orchestra has made two visits to the library, one in 2010 and another in 2011.
Marshall said the audience response during the shows indicates that the formula is working and she said she has also heard some inspiring stories of young children who have been encouraged to pick up an instrument or stick with their ongoing classical training.
"We've really had some wonderful stories that have come out of this," she said.

Gibson Montana received a special treat recently with a visit from John Oates, of the band Hall and Oates.
Flying in from his home in Colorado, John came to Bozeman to work with Ren Ferguson and Don Ruffatto hoping to create the guitar of his dreams. Having played many brands and styles of acoustic guitars over the years, he was looking for that "one" guitar to use both in the studio, and for his other solo, duo and band gigs that he regularly performs.
Don guided John through a factory tour, giving him a chance to not only see the hand work that goes into each Gibson, but also to let him look at the many different models in production and getideas for his own guitar. After the tour, they settled into the conference room with Ren Ferguson, and along with the visual aid of a few choice models, slowly put together the spec sheets on what was to become John's newest favorite instrument.
After much deliberation, John chose to have a variation on a historic B-25 built. As he already owns a couple of vintage J-45s, John was looking for something that would compliment his other Gibsons (and non Gibsons).
The end of the day brought a special treat, as John found out that his good friend Lyle Lovett was performing in Bozeman. After getting to see a wonderful show, John, along with Don and Dale Ruffatto, were able to spend a little time visiting with Lyle and the band.
John recently received his new Gibson, and was ecstatic. This is what he had to say:
"Having a hand in creating this guitar was one of the hi-lights of my musically life... I mean it. Trying to envision what it would look and sound like and then having the reality far exceed my expectations was amazing. The workmanship is superb and it has the warm and "worn in" sound of a 40 year old vintage instrument. The finish is unique and at the same time very traditional in the classic Gibson style. It was so much fun meeting and hanging out with all the great folks up in Montana and knowing that I now have a one-of-a-kind instrument all my own."

Fun, High-Impact Stair Makeovers
Stairs are a contained area of the home where you can really give some attention and make a big impact. They have a lot of dimension, covering both vertical and horizontal surfaces. Whether a little paint or new treads, a stair makeover is just begging for fun:
• 1 Wallpapered treads transformed this stair. To really grasp how amazing this makeover is, see the "before" at Design in Dublin.
• 2 Painted risers and oars-for-rails helped transform this stair in an Alaskan cabin remodel.
• 3 A brightly-painted stair and runner in a newly-renovated 1784 Colonial home.
• 4 We often find ourselves compulsively counting the stairs anyway. Why not a makeover with numbered risers?

This one is about internet trolls:
This one is cynical about employment criteria:
I find them both very humorous.
Also, as I was logging in to comicgenesis, there was a banner ad for the Church of Latter-Day Saints (Mormonism). I also find that humorous. And slightly sad, that a religion is willing to put itself in the same category as Hertz Car Rentals and Crest Whitestrips.
Also, I bet nobody will ever read this. It's a ghost town here.

Jardins en Fleur
Not long ago, I was told about designer Simon Scott's site, Jardins en Fleur. The exact words were, ' Jardin en Fleur? You need to know'. First of all, if you've just jumped over there for a peek...how cute is that Banner?? adorable. ok, back to business, If you love a little pagoda in your pieces or a nice bit of 'bamboo' thrown in to the mix, you'll love everything about Jardins en Fleur. Currently I'm stalking this bed {in that I have it up on my screen at all times, look at it several times a day, stroke the glass of the monitor in which it sits behind....and will be purchasing it very soon}
I was even more excited to see it on my friend Liegh's beautiful and noteworthy blog, Papillion Linens. coincidentally Leigh and Simon are great friends and have used one another's wares to show off their own, at trade shows. wow, I had no idea until I saw Simon's work on Leigh's blog. Double makes me like the bed. So here is a shot of the coveted bed, in a room, donned in sumptuous linens by Papillion.
A marriage made in heaven if you ask me. And now I'm in such a quandry...do I go with the "Blanc de Chine" Soliel bed or the natural bamboo, color. hmmm.They're both stunning and beachy.
And just to give you an idea of the further greatness that is Jardins en Fleur, check out these pieces...and mind you these are just a few of the many pieces in the collection...
accessories? yes, a lot of beautiful accessories..
I love the color of this garden stool. I don't think I've seen one like this before.a beautiful collection of lamps
beautiful silk panels, give glamour to any space instantly. Jardins en Fleur.

Fyndes monthly give away
I love the site Fyndes, it's like stumbling into a hip, warehouse filled with individual boutiques ranging from funky, vintage finds to fabulous fine arts and antiques. Pretty much the gamut. With prices that make shopping attainable at any level. If you're on their mailing list you get the regular updates, BUT you also get to be part of their monthly give-away. Sort of like the business card in the fish bowl concept. Only, you don't receive a free plate of fajitas if your name is drawn. The first giveaway begins today and is a beautiful, brass-cast seed pod from the renowned, Los Angeles floral designer, Krislyn Komarov. This unique, decorative object is cast from a real seed pod and poured from solid brass. It measures 6.5" long, 4" wide and 3.5" high. The brass pod's retail price is $315. All you have to do is register at www.fyndes.com and your name will be entered into a drawing. No purchase is necessary. The winner will be selected at random and notified on 15th August 2009.

Yard Sale, L.A. designer style
Imagine if you stumbled across one of those 10 family yard sales that didn't include, weird pilly clothes, and faded plastic toy, but maybe gorgeous designer chosen, lamps, art, rugs, side tables etc... Imagine if you will, that the yard sale location was not at the end of a cul de sac but in the back yard of an adorable Cape Cod style house just a few blocks from Venice beach. And then let's just further imagine that instead of 10 families, it was a group of designers, all of whom you've read about in shelter magazine, seen their work and drooled over their homes. Imagine no more, because Saturday August 8th {10-4}, this dream is a reality. say what??? No, seriously, check this out:The Designer Tag Sale will be an interior designer yard sale/tag sale hosted by entrepreneur Amy Swift (www.smartypeople.com), which will include ten of Los Angeles's top designers selling items from their personal inventories including small furniture such as side-tables, lamps, rugs, pillows, art, accessories and more at incredibly low prices! Nothing will be over $200, and prices will run as low as $5.
Are you freaking out a little? Feeling your breathe get a little more shallow? wait, listen who's involved in this little shenanigan.....The following interior designers are confirmed: Molly Luetkemeyer, Ron Woodson, Jamie Rummerfield, Lindsey Dann Miller, Vanessa De Vargas, Paula Smail, Carla Lane, Jennifer Culp, Michelle Workman, Krista Ewart, Kelly Van Patter, Erica Islas, Janamor Decor and Stephanie Visser. Gift bags will be offered to the first thirty attendees including gift certificates, coupons, and other fun items. Any left-over designer inventory will be donated to a local Los Angeles women's shetler. Entry fee is $10.
You can bet I'll be there. 5:00 am sharp. Pink foam curlers and slippers.

be still life
blueberry buckle- cook's illustratedI'm almost there. For those of you not following along on facebook, at the end of May, my husband snapped his Achilles tendon...in half. I looked at him as we sat at the Orthopedic surgeon's, and just said, 'You're doing too much. This is someone's way of saying, 'S L O W D O W N' Of course, he never took my advice.
Today, I went out to my car to find a nice fat bolt, complete with washer, jammed into my rear tire. As I sat there looking , feeling a bit deflated myself, I realized that this too was someone's way of saying, ' S L O W D O W N'charity shop- kay loves vintage

be right back!
I think I'm going to take a few days off this week*. My business partner and I are shutting the doors on our staging business { sadly for me, she and her family are moving up to the bay area } so we need to wrap a few things up. If you're in the L.A. area, we do have some great stock to sell - email me and I'll let you know what we have available.
*I've never been a good napper, so we'll see how this works.
see you back here in a few days!

Eye Protection From the Sun Especially Important for Kids
Youths need to take extra care to wear sunglasses as they can't filter UV light as effectively as adults
Most parents are careful to spread sunscreen on their children. One risk from the sun that often gets overlooked: damage to young eyes.
Vision-care experts are stepping up efforts to raise awareness of the danger of overexposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays, which is cumulative and irreversible. Children and adolescents are especially vulnerable to the sun's rays because their ocular lenses aren't yet mature and can't filter UV light as effectively as adults, causing damage to the retina. The average child takes in about...

How To Cut Carrots: 4 Basic Cuts
Carrots are a kitchen workhorse. They're second only to onions as one of the most common ingredients in our savory, and occasionally sweet, recipes. They go in our weekday lunch salads and our slow-cooked weekend stews. We eat them raw with dip, roast them to tender perfection, or quickly sauté them for dinner. Really, is there anything the mighty carrot can't do?
Nearly every recipe with carrots starts the same way: peel the carrot and cut it into pieces. Today, let's take a look at some of the most common ways that recipes ask us to transform this skinny orange vegetable into bite-sized pieces.
Where to Start
Whether your aim is some carrot sticks for an afternoon snack or a perfect 1/8-inch brunoise to impress your future in-laws, cutting carrots is all about starting with the whole vegetable and gradually breaking it down into smaller, uniform pieces. The idea of creating uniform pieces is important if you're going to be cooking the carrots, since this means your carrots will all cook at the same rate and be finished at the same time.
Almost all cuts start by peeling the carrot, trimming off the top, and then cutting it into three or four pieces. You can skip the peeling step if the skin is very thin and looks tasty. From there, it's a matter of cutting each chunk of carrot down into smaller and smaller shapes. If perfect batons and cubes are your aim, then trim off the rounded edges to make a square carrot. For most of our homemade recipes, leaving the rounded edges is just fine!
Keep It Steady
Carrots are roly-poly things, which makes slicing them challenging and potentially dangerous to our poor fingers. Make sure you secure your cutting board so it doesn't slip while you're slicing, and give your knife a good honing before you start.
When you're making fine cuts, like matchsticks or tiny brunoise cubes, you can also keep the carrot from rolling by creating a base for your carrot. Just trim off a slim piece down the length of the carrot, creating a flat surface. Set the carrot on this side and chop away.
Smart Cook's Vocab Words
Most of the time, our home-cooked meals do not depend upon a perfect half-inch dice or wispy julienne cuts. Even so, it's good to know these terms — and what they mean — for reference points, as well as the occasional super-fancy restaurant recreation.
- Julienne (aka Matchsticks): Lengths of carrot roughly the same size and shape as matchsticks. Aim for 1- to 2-inch pieces that are 1/8-inch by 1/8-inch thick.
- Batonnet: Carrot sticks that are about 2 inches long and 1/4-inch by 1/4-inch thick.
- Baton (aka Standard Lunchbox Carrot Sticks): Carrot sticks that are 2 to 3 inches long and 1/2-inch by 1/2-inch thick. This isn't an official restaurant cut, but useful for home cooks like us!
- Brunoise: Tiny cubes cut from julienne sticks that are 1/8 x 1/8 x 1/8 inches.
- Small Dice: Small cubes cut from batonnet sticks that are 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 inches.
- Medium Dice: Medium cubes cut from baton sticks that are 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 inches.
- Large Dice: Large cubes that are roughly 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 inches.
How To Cut Carrots: 4 Basic Cuts
What You Need
Vegetable peeler
Sharp chef's knife
Cutting board
- Peel the carrots: If the skin looks dry or thick, peel it off. If the skin looks thin and pretty, leave it on.
- Cut the carrot into a few big pieces: Trim off the top of the carrot where the green stems attach. Then cut the carrot into 2 to 4 equal-sized pieces that are 2 to 3 inches long, depending on the size of the carrot and the size of the pieces you're comfortable working with.
- Baton Cuts: Cut the carrot into sticks of whatever thickness you want — see the vocab list above for reference. For perfectly square sticks, trim the rounded parts off of each side to square the edges before cutting the sticks.
- Diced Carrots: Once you've cut the carrot into batons, cut them across into equal-sized diced cuts.
- Julienne (Matchstick) Cuts: Cut a thin slice from one side of the carrot and set the carrot on this side — this "bottom" will hold the carrot steady while you slice. Then cut the length of the carrot into thin slices 1/8-inch thick. (If your slices are a bit thicker, I won't tell.) Stack all the slices on top of each other, then cut through the layers to create matchsticks.
- Brunoise Carrots: Once you've cut the carrot into matchsticks, cut them across into equal-sized diced cuts, 1/8 inch on all sides.
Recipe Notes
- For perfectly straight edges, trim away the rounded parts of the carrot to square the edges before you begin cutting the batons or matchsticks.

It's no secret that HTC and Samsung have released the two most exciting Android phones this year. The HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S III will be the most sought-after handsets this summer, but consumers are going to have a hard time deciding which one is the best for them. Fortunately, HTC has put together "special packs" for its sales team which compares the two devices. I'm sure you can guess which One came out on top.
HTC's matchup between the two phones has a few solid points, but we can't help but smile when HTC labels the design of the Samsung Galaxy S III as "disappointing" and that its display is "dull" or has a lower density than that of the One X.
Below are some of the highlights from HTC's comparison of the One X and Galaxy S III
|HTC One X
|Samsung Galaxy S III
|Better Speed/Faster
|Quad-core 1.5Ghz
|Quad-core 1.4Ghz
|Better Camera
|70% better quality with f2.0Faster: 4fps/99 shotFaster startup: 0.7s
|Poor low light with f2.6Slower: 3fps/20shotsSlower startup: 0.99sec
|Better Sound
|Beats Audio
|Better Screen
|Brighter & cleaner, higher density
|Dull Bluishlower density
|Better Durability
|Better Design
|World acclaimed
HTC's sales sheet claims that despite being 0.3mm thicker than the Samsung Galaxy S III, the HTC One X is lighter and feels slimmer than its competitor. HTC counterpoint for the Galaxy S III's removable battery is that the One X can last a full day on a single charge. they could have left it at that, but they go on to say that having a second battery is a huge hassle due to the need to have a separate battery charger "which is often impractical, especially when traveling."
But the best counterpoint on the list is when HTC compares the Samsung galaxy S III's microSD card slot to the 32GB of internal storage and 25GB of DropBox cloud storage available to One X owners. Apparently, someone at HTC didn't get the memo that the Samsung Galaxy S III can be purchased with 16, 32, or 64 GB of internal storage in addition to 50GB of DropBox cloud storage while still giving consumers the option to add more with a microSD card at any time.
Personally, I agree with many of the points that HTC highlights in its sales sheet. On paper, it's extremely hard to compare the two devices and pick a clear winner.
Do you argree with HTC? Is the HTC One X better than the Samsung Galaxy S III? Let us know which features or specs have the most influence on your purchasing decisions and which phone you will purchase this summer.

The pope said that he is resigning due to health reasons, but he is going to study prayer?
Views: 234
With the Duke Prayer Study ... which found out that prayer does diddly squat.
LOL. I that the back of the unabridged matchbook version?
I think I remember hearing once that the study actually noticed a rise in acidity in urine for those that are being prayed for. jahova..the god of acidic urine.
How do you study prayer? The same way you "study" how to predict the future by magic incantations, reading chicken bones, goat entrails, omens from the the stars, comets, and asteroids in the night sky. It's all in being inculcated into the magical mysteries and arcana of the grand spirit world. Why do you ask?
Because that is what the Pope is going to do when he steps down.
I think studying prayer means he's basically going to watch other people pray like it's porn.
He will read prayers and think about them and then he will feel all sanctimonious about it.
There is another option. He'll retire to Castle Gandolfo, and pretending to go to the chapel and pray, he'll watch re-runs of the porno tapes seized from Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.
Right. Live richly and "think" about the poor. Because sending them good thoughts, while living off their blood, sweat, and tears, is really going to help them.
And think about all of those children who were molested ... which probably makes him all hot and bothered.
he is going to go and mumble to himself for the rest of his life. no...seriously we need to find him and just kill him like the vermin that he is. ya dont let putrid rats lose in society.

Photo of the 2009-10 Crimson Wrestling team courtesy of David Silverman Photography.
On The Harvard wrestling team saw one of its grapplers achieve a life-long dream and leave his mark in the storied tradition of the program, the Crimson battled in each dual meet and tournament competition to wrestle its best and improve its skills.
The Crimson crowned a national champion at the NCAA Championships for the third time in Harvard history, produced an All-American for the 23rd time overall, and finished in the top 50 at the NCAA meet for the 12th time in the last 13 years and in the top 25 for the 12th time in program history. The Crimson had its 20th EIWA Champion, fourth Ivy League Wrestler of the Year and second EIWA Wrestler of the Year.
Senior co-captain J.P. O'Connor, the second Crimson grappler , to earn All-America honors three times, finished his career on top, winning an NCAA title at 157 pounds. O'Connor went undefeated in 2009-10 winning the Binghamton Open, the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational and the EIWA Championships along the way. As one of the most successful wrestlers in Harvard history, O'Connor will graduate tied for the program record in career wins with 132, as the only two-time Ivy League Wrestler of the Year at Harvard, the only Crimson grappler to be named Ivy League Rookie of the Year and Wrestler of the Year in consecutive seasons.
The native of Oxford, N.Y., was a force to be reckoned with in the NCAA Championships, outscoring his opponents 51-10 during the tournament. He racked up unanimous first-team All-Ivy League and Academic All-Ivy honors, was named Ivy League co-Wrestler of the Year and EIWA Wrestler of the Year and was a finalist for the Hodge Trophy, for outstanding wrestler. He became the 16th All-American under Jay Weiss, the David G. Bunning'88 Head Coach for Harvard Wrestling,
Classmate and fellow captain Louis Caputo also etched his name in the record books with his final season in a Crimson singlet. The Blue Springs, Mo., native finished second at the EIWA Championships and qualified for his fourth NCAA Championships at 184 pounds. Caputo compiled a 23-5 overall record and went 14-0 in dual meets. He earned unanimous first-team All-Ivy League honors for the second year in a row. Caputo stands third on Harvard's all-time wins list, having had his hand raised 126 times in his career.
Freshman Steven Keith emerged with a 20-12 record, a third-place finish at the EIWA Championships and a trip to the NCAAs in his rookie campaign. Keith, a 125 pounder, compiled a 10-7 dual record. He missed part of the season with an injury but gained valuable experience on the nation's biggest stage which will aid him in his quest for a national title and All-America status.
Injuries hampered the Crimson this season, as junior Walter Peppelman, who started off the season with a 10-5 mark, was sidelined with injury as was senior heavyweight Andrew Knapp, who was unable to compete this season and will return in 2010-11 for his final campaign. Several rookies started the season off with impressive performances, only to miss time with injuries of their own. Tony Buxton was 5-6 at 141 pounds, Adam Hogue went 7-6 at 165 pounds and Paul Ligouri was 6-8 at 141 pounds.
Upperclassmen Fermin Mendez, Bryan Panzano and Michale Sadler stepped up to fill in at any weight class needed during the season. Freshmen Nick Brazeau, Chad Eason, Spencer Friedman, David Lalo and sophomores Spencer DeSena and Sean Murphy continued to gain experience on the mat for the Crimson.
The Crimson will have a lot of holes to fill with the departure of Caputo and O'Connor, but will have strong leaders in Peppelman, Knapp and junior Corey Jantzen, who returns from a year absence, and corps of grapplers with a great deal of on-the-mat experience.


text: Tyler says: Well, I hope this isn't a bad sign for what we all know is going to be the Tomb Raider reboot (image found by a 4Player Co-op, "mole"). Could it be that Gard is over Lara Croft, or that he wasn't sure of the direction the new game was headed? All Gard would say to Develop was, "Obviously it's confidential what goes on at Crystal Dynamics," so we may have to wait a while for the dust to settle before we know anything concrete.

Feb. 6, 2013
Northwest Missouri State University announced today Wren Baker, who has served as the institution's director of athletics since February 2011, has resigned from his position, effective Feb. 22.
Baker has accepted the deputy athletic director of external affairs position at the University of Memphis and will begin those duties in early March.
Northwest President Dr. John Jasinski said the University will conduct a national search to fill the director of athletics position. Lori Hopkins has agreed to serve as Northwest's interim athletics director.
"During his tenure, Wren has led efforts for implementing a comprehensive approach to address increased revenue streams, and the results have been fantastic," Jasinski said. "Wren has led through very difficult circumstances and has helped shape our culture for the positive. Three successful coaching searches have been led by Wren, and he has built a team environment. While he has high expectations on the field, more importantly, he has helped enhance an environment built to meet and exceed NCAA and institutional rules and an athletic program operating with integrity. I am most appreciative of Wren's leadership."
While providing leadership to 15 Northwest athletics programs and during his previous tenure as the director of athletics at Rogers State University, Baker established himself as a high achiever in athletics administration. Baker said his transition to an NCAA Division I school allows him to further pursue his career aspirations.
"Our family has greatly enjoyed our time as Bearcats," Baker said. "I am thankful for the time we've had at this tremendous institution. Northwest is a special place, and the people here have been great to us. Sometimes opportunity knocks when you least expect it. This is the case with the position at Memphis. While we are honored and excited about this incredible opportunity, we know we will miss our Northwest family. When we arrived at Northwest, everywhere we went people would say 'Once a Bearcat, always a Bearcat.' Without question, we will always be Bearcats."
Hopkins is associate athletics director for compliance and student services and senior women's administrator, a position she's held since April 2010.

Next Generation Theatre will premier "All This Intimacy" in the basement of the William H. Hall Free Library at 1825 Broad Street, Cranston. The production will be performed on May 10 and 11 before moving to Theater 82 at 82 Rolfe Square, Cranston, for performances on May 17 and 18. All performances will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Next Generation Theatre was formerly the Young Adults Ensemble, founded in 2008. This is the first show of their second season since changing their name. "All This Intimacy" is directed by Rob Roy. The cast consists of local actors Justin Wilder as Ty, Chris Ferreira as Seth, Kerry Giorgi as Jen, Kaitlin Maynard as Becca, Mary Paolino as Maureen and Emily Surabian as Franny.
"All This Intimacy," written by Rajiv Joseph, is an edgy comedy that explores what happens when a fairly normal man, Ty Green, engages in an uncharacteristic run of promiscuity that ultimately impregnates three women in the span of a single week. Ty quickly realizes that he has only a limited amount of time to piece his life back together.
Tickets are $10, available at the door. Reservations can be made by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
