In this, the most debilitating economic crisis since the Great Depression, there is one occupation that remains as robust and profitable as ever – the Hero. At no time since Pagan Rome and Julius Caesar has there been a more profound worship of the fallible human. There is no place we can turn, no sport, industry, or amusement where one or several within the ranks has not been escalated to the status of the holy divine. They have been turned into modern day prophets and we are their congregation listening as they minister from the sacred scripture of their accomplishments. Yet the price paid to receive such reverence and adulation is cheap by historical standards, it costs no tears or blood and can be bargained for with little more than beating analyst's estimates, winning a Super Bowl, or starring in a video.
It's been said, and I have to believe, that you can tell everything you need to know about someone in how the answer this question,
"What sort of people do you admire most?"
If you worship the game, then the athlete will be your idol and king. If you are awe struck by riches then the titans of business and affluence will be to whom you pray. If you glorify the physical then those behemoths of the fashion, fitness, and beauty world will be the altar where you kneel.
This isn't an attack on success or achievement nor to undermine the appreciation and recognition that comes from another's triumphs, but it's the extremes of the thing that proves our diseased minds. It's the hanging of our hopes, our identity, and even our self worth that speaks to the twisted nature – when we stop admiring and start exalting.
This past week in a CNN.com article, the writer speaks to the fallout of the Penn State scandal and how it has toppled one of those modern day heroes and once again raises questions of our cult hero worship.
The author alludes to such fallen idols as Joe Paterno, Tiger Woods, Bernie Madoff, and John Edwards and then asks the question, "So who's to blame, us or the guy on the pedestal? Are they bad people, or are we a bunch of suckers?"
It would seem we are the problem. As a culture we have this expectation that the character of the man is in direct proportion to the heights of his achievement. Or, "we generally assume these heroes are "good," at the very least, we dismiss their flaws, and assume their character is unchangeable." But that's a mistake we own when we make gods of clay in our own image then bruise our knees worshiping someone who, in the end, is as undivine and small as we are. And as a parent I can think of few concerns more troubling than who my children will admire and ultimately emulate.
Scotch taped on a wall in my daughter's bedroom at her mother's house is a full page magazine article of a teen movie star, shirt off, pecks bulging, abs ripped. When asked why she has such a picture all she can respond to is his name, the movie she saw him in, and how she thinks he's cute. Chills run down my spine as I imagine where that line of thinking could ultimately lead.
But isn't that symbolic of us all? How, like my princess, we knowingly choose to place others on pedestals without the slightest comprehension about them other than their win/loss record, latest hit, or most recent triumph. Then we go even further by forcing our expectations on them, ones we could never meet ourselves, and feel betrayed when our savior isn't able to deliver on the promise.
Most interesting in the Penn State outrage, I think, was the response against the school. The NCAA ripped away fourteen years of wins, bowls, and titles from the football program and its players and fined the university $60 million. Paterno's likeness, much like those overthrown pharaohs of ancient Egypt, were chiseled away from every monument on campus along with tearing down his seven-foot statue at the entrance to Beaver Stadium.
Was this reaction a justified answer to the evils of the case or merely an attempt to put balm on the wounds of betrayal and hurt caused when their god toppled and they were left standing amid the rubble of their own foolishness? The mistake of the Penn State faithful was believing that Paterno was the same person off the football field as he was on and assuming his character was as great as his number of wins. It's a common mistake. "The boxes we put around people are false labels. It's an easy way to assume what they're like in our realm." But when our assumptions prove to be wrong, as they usually do, retribution is the penance due when we discover our gods are nothing but wooden idols carved in our own image.
This is a fundamental lesson I hope to teach my children, that while it's normal to admire the athlete, actress, or singer for their God given talents and use that success as motivation in their own endeavors, it is also necessary to separate those achievements from the individual behind them. To never view the movie star, singer, or athlete as anything other than the undivine mortal creatures they are who are as weak and fragile as the rest of us.
That to appreciate the celebrity does not mean to exalt them, and the lines they speak, lyrics they sing, or scores they make should never be used to exemplify the one who's performing them. So when that idol does come crashing down they'll never feel forsaken as the stand among the broken shards of their god of clay.

Delivering real-time updates to users has never been easier thanks to some open-source projects and great startups that have popped up. I started using PubNub for TuneWolf, and so far I couldn't be happier.
When I first started using PubNub, they didn't have the enormous client-library you see now and the Ruby examples were a little scarce, so I decided to build something fun in order to get acquainted with the service. I'd also been hearing great things about Padrino, so I decided to try out the two together.
The result was Song-Votr, a simple voting application that puts one round of songs up at a time. Users can vote on the songs they like and also see everyone else's votes happening in real-time. Before we look at any code, let's lay out the broad overview of how everything interacts.
Song-Votr serves up the current round of songs. When a user clicks on a song, the client places the vote via an AJAX post request. Song-Votr increments the selected song's vote count along with the total number of votes for the round, then publishes a message to our PubNub channel with the new stats for the round. The user that placed the vote (along with all other connected users) receives that updated round information and the client updates the view.
In a nutshell, all clients are only subscribed to PubNub, and the server only publishes messages. This allows Song-Votr to be the gatekeeper of the PubNub channel, making sure that users are only getting votes that were successfully processed.
Setting Up
Since we're using Padrino let's go ahead and generate the project. I'm a sucker for Haml and Sass, so we'll use those along with ActiveRecord for our ORM and, of course, jQuery. The -b flag simply runs bundle install after generation.
$ padrino g project votr -e haml -c sass -s jquery -d activerecord -b
I used ActiveRecord because I come from Rails and I'm familiar with it, but you could always switch that out for whatever adapter you prefer. Assuming you are using AR, the next step is to generate our models. Our model is dead simple, consisting of just two models: a round that has many songs.
$ padrino g model round start_time:datetime end_time:datetime total_votes:integer -a app
$ padrino g model song title:string artist:string votes:integer percentage:float round_id:integer -a app
This will also generate the necessary migrations. Before you run them, let's go in and add a default value of 0 to total_votes in round and votes in songs. When you're done, those migrations should look similar to what's below.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
Once you're done, make sure you run the migrations with the command
padrino rake ar:migrate.
With our database now ready, we need to go into the models and define the relationships. While we're in there, let's go ahead and write a scope to get the current round since that's something we'll definitely need soon.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
1 2 3
A neat feature about Padrino is its drop-in admin interface, but let's not worry about that yet. For now, we'll insert a round and some songs into the database from the console.
$ padrino c
> round = Round.new
> round.start_time = DateTime.now
> round.end_time = DateTime.now + 3.days
> round.save!
> song = round.songs.new
> song.title = "My Heart Will Go On"
> song.artist = "Celine Dion"
> song.save!
Repeat the song process for a few more songs so you can have things to vote on for the next 3 days. Once you're done, your database should be prepped and ready!
Front page and layout
Because there are only two routes, we can get away with just using the base app.rb file as our only controller. Let's go ahead and make our root route and decide what we need to pass to our view. We'll want a timer to show how much time is left in the round, along with the round itself (and associated songs). Notice we're using the current scope we set up in our model. Padrino is based on Sinatra, so if you've ever used Sinatra this syntax should be very familiar.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Now it's time to actually make an interface for people to see. I was planning on using this for a demo, so I took the time to style it up. If you'd like to go ahead and simply copy my stylesheet from the repository, go ahead and do that now.
Our layout is going to be simple for now. I almost always start my projects with Nicolas Gallagher's Normalize, and Keith Wood's jquery.countdown is what's going to make our clock actually count down.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
The index view itself is pretty self explanatory. We want to display the clock at the top, followed by a list of the songs in the current round, their current votes, and the percentage of the total vote they've received. As you can see, we went ahead and made each song title a link. We'll be making that /vote route next.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
Placing Votes
The /vote route is where almost all of the real functionality of the app lies. Because we're only allowing for one active round at a time, we can just get the current round. We can cut down on the number of SQL queries by going ahead and eager loading songs along with the round. This can be done via the includes method you see on Round in the second line.
Other than that, all that's happening is incrementing the total votes for the round and the number of votes for the song. We then recalculate that song's percentage (just for archival purposes) and return success or failure based on whether or not the song / round was persisted.
Notice that we're querying the database again for all of the songs. This is because when we plug PubNub in, we need to be publishing all of the songs in order to be able to recalculate all of their percentages and votes on the client side.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
Now that the /vote route works, we need to add a little Javascript so the vote is sent via ajax. Change the javascript block in the layout to look something like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
Making it Live
Now that we have our rounds and we're able to post votes to them, we need to make it so everyone can see everyone's votes as their happening. Because this post is starting to get incredibly lengthy, let's take a breather and tackle the PubNub integration in the next post.
If you're interested…
If this interested you, Twilio posted a tutorial on building a similar project using their service along with Node.js and CouchDB. Happy hacking!

Companies shouldn't hesitate to ask securities regulators whether they can file less than a full set of past financial statements as they try to list their stocks or dispose of a product line, an SEC staff accountant signaled.
Mark Kronforst, chief accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Corporation Finance, told a conference audience June 8 about the new flexible attitude—rare in commission guidance, he suggested—regarding a 1933 Securities Act rule governing the form and content of financial statements.
Rule 3-13 of Regulation S-X allows for the possibility of a waiver from having to file certain financial statements under circumstances that won't harm investors and still convey useful information.
The unblessed exclusion of the information contained in a full, three-year set of audited financial statements can sometimes mean the difference between a deal and no deal—and has been known to discourage prospective suitors in acquisitions, one investor advocate and former regulator told Bloomberg BNA June 9.
The omission of such information can carry a bad connotation, said the investor advocate, who requested anonymity because he isn't familiar with the latest apparent development in SEC staff thinking on the financial reporting rule.
"I just want to make sure that you understand that these rules are in place," Kronforst said of the waiver-granting authority granted to the SEC staff by the commission.
"Please come talk to us," said Kronforst, who spoke at a University of Southern California accounting conference.
"Historically, we've granted waivers in the vast majority of the cases," said the SEC staff accountant. "I would say, though, that the requests seem to have stagnated in terms of variety and volume, and it's unclear to us why that is."
The understated message by the SEC staff on the financial reporting flexibility was welcomed by a prominent securities lawyer who once served as director of the Division of Corporation Finance. "It's clear the message here is don't be afraid to ask," John White, a partner with Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, in Washington, said during a panel discussion at the USC event.
And a Big Four firm partner attested to the receptiveness of the SEC staff on the topic.
"The staff is very open to have this dialogue," said John May, a partner for SEC services at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

Boy Scout Troop 267, sponsored by Fredonia American Legion Post 59, recently recognized two Scouts who have earned Eagle Scout status. Nicholas J. Yerico, son of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Eichmann and Jeffrey Bell, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Bell, were presented with the Eagle Scout Award, the highest recognition offered in scouting. Scoutmaster Christopher Eichmann presented both mothers with the Eagle Scout medals, which they pinned on their sons. The Scouts in turn presented their mothers with miniature Eagle pins and their fathers with Eagle tie tacs.

From Just Between Us ….. Vera Buck of Dunkirk recently returned home after spending three weeks in England — her first trip abroad, her first airplane ride and her first opportunity to meet her pen pal, Linda Huyton and her husband Ray, who reside in Neston, South Wirral (near the coast of Wales). Traveling with a friend, Mrs. Buck visited many points of interest, but considered the highlight to be watching the "Trooping of the Color," the official celebration of Queen Elizabeth's birthday on June 13. "As we stood along the mall, we watched as the Queen and the Royal Family passed by," Mrs. Buck recalls. " My front view afforded me a good look at Princess Diana and she really is as pretty as her pictures."

|Valorian Ranger
|Korean Snake, Fire Viper, ADVENT Loyalist
|First Encounter
|Ty'Shok's Raid
The Valorian Ranger is a hostile alien encountered in RotDN: The Valorian Conflict. It is the second Valorian unit to be encountered. It was introduced in the Power of Mercy update.
Valorian Rangers are identified as red scale colored Vipers with white eyes and underside. They are also clad in light armor. Apart from Valorian Troopers, Rangers have a fire pattern on their scales, often being nicknamed as 'Fire Vipers' by Republic personnel.
Instead of outdated Elerium weaponry, Valorian Rangers will use ADVENT magnetized weapons. On rare cases they will use melee weapons as well. Like all other Valorians, the Rangers speak primarily Korean.
Valorian Rangers are extremely deadly in close range. They also specialize in hit-and-run tactics. The Ranger can even throw flash bangs and Anti-Wave charges. On rare occasions, a Ranger will possess energy shields. The Ranger is specifically used for defense of Valorian Regime complexes or fortresses.
Multiplayer Republic Tactics
- Rangers are agile and can even graze most shots. The best way for dealing with Rangers is by tossing out flash bangs or use explosive weapons to take them out quickly.
- Engaging a Ranger in a hand-to-hand battle is extremely futile, as Rangers are skilled with counter-attacks. Only use ranged weapons.
- Rangers can easily compromise a squad of Republic forces in a siege. Take out the Rangers first as they will coordinate Valorian Troopers.
- The Ranger is also capable of ranged combat. They primarily use shotguns or burst rifles. Use other weapons to counter their ranged attacks.
- Rangers can also be equipped with active camouflage, making them more difficult to take out. Always be vigilant and watch for movement. They are likely to engage in close quarters.
Multiplayer Regime Tactics
- As a Ranger, the player's objective is to take out high priority threats. Republic units such as Enforcers or Vanguards are the most dangerous Republic units. Bounty hunters also count.
- The player can also swap flash bangs for a smoke bomb. Use this when hiding or retreating.
- Rangers are specifically meant to be a heavy melee unit. The Ranger's sword can deal massive damage and can instantly kill weaker targets. Use this to take out stronger units if possible.
- The Anti-Wave charge is useful when dealing with Psionic Vipers, namely Arkadien or Chimera. The Anti-Wave charge will suppress all Psionic abilities for a short time.
- Do not engage another player who is controlling a Sectopod. Use ranged weapons if possible.
- Allied to ADVENT forces.
- Immune to fire and poison.
- Lightning reflexes.
- Damage increased for ADVENT weapons and melee.
- Grazes shots easily.
- Resistant to interrogation.
- Vulnerable to electricity.
- Accuracy decreased greatly when stunned.
- Easy to spot.
- Weakened by Psionic attacks.
- Armor slightly decreases running speed.
- Telepaths can easily obtain information during interrogation.
Valorian headhunter
- Kill over ten Valorian Rangers using the Repeater.
Quick death
- As a Valorian Ranger, kill an Enforcer by assassination.
- Originally before the civil war, the Rangers served as Republic national guards. When the civil war started, the Rangers turned against the Republic to fight for the Regime.

North and South Indian Cuisine
India cuisine or Indian food encompasses a wide variety of regional cuisines native to India. Given the range of diversity in soil type, climate and occupations, these cuisines vary significantly from each other and use locally available spices, herbs, vegetables and fruits. Indian food is also heavily influenced by religious and cultural choices and traditions.
The development of these cuisines have been shaped by Dharmic beliefs, and in particular by vegetarianism, which is a growing dietary trend in Indian society. There has also been Central Asian influence on North Indian cuisine from the years of Mughal rule. Indian cuisine has been and is still evolving, as a result of the nation's cultural interactions with other societies.
Historical incidents such as foreign invasions, trade relations and colonialism have also played a role in introducing certain foods to the country. For instance, potato, a staple of Indian diet was brought to India by the Portuguese, who also introduced chillies and breadfruit. Indian cuisine has also shaped the history of international relations; the spice trade between India and Europe is often cited by historians as the primary catalyst for Europe's Age of Discovery. Spices were bought from India and traded around Europe and Asia. It has also influenced other cuisines across the world, especially those from Southeast Asia, the British Isles and the Caribbean.
Indian cuisine reflects a 5000-year history of various groups and cultures interacting with the subcontinent, leading to diversity of flavours and regional cuisines found in modern-day India. Later, mughals, British, and Portuguese influence added to the already diverse Indian Cuisine.
During the Middle Ages, several North Indian dynasties were predominant, including the Gupta dynasty. Travellers to India during this time introduced new cooking methods and products to the region, including tea and spices. Northern India was later invaded by Central Asian cultures, which led to the emergence of Mughlai cuisine, a mix of Indian and Central Asian cuisine. Hallmarks include seasonings such as saffron.
Staple foods of Indian cuisine include pearl millet (bajra), rice, whole-wheat flour (atta), and a variety of lentils, especially masoor (most often red lentils), toor (pigeon pea), urad (black gram), and moong (mung bean). Lentils may be used whole, dehusked—for example, dhuli moong or dhuli urad—or split. Split lentils, or dal, are used extensively. Some pulses, such as channa (chickpea), Rajma or kidney beans, lobiya are very common, especially in the northern regions. Channa and mung are also processed into flour (besan).
Many Indian dishes are cooked in vegetable oil, but peanut oil is popular in northern and western India, mustard oil in eastern India, and coconut oil along the western coast, especially in Kerala. Gingelly (sesame) oil is common in the south since it imparts a fragrant nutty aroma. In recent decades, sunflower and soybean oils have become popular across India. Hydrogenated vegetable oil, known as Vanaspati ghee, is another popular cooking medium. Butter-based ghee, or desi ghee, is used frequently, though less than in the past.
The most important and frequently used spices and flavourings in Indian cuisine are whole or powdered chilli pepper (mirch) (introduced by the Portuguese in the 16th century), black mustard seed (sarso), cardamom (elaichi), cumin (jeera), turmeric (haldi), asafoetida (hing), ginger (adrak), coriander (dhania), and garlic (lehsun). One popular spice mix is garam masala, a powder that typically includes five or more dried spices, especially cardamom, cinnamon (dalchini), and clove. Each culinary region has a distinctive garam masala blend—individual chefs may also have their own. Goda masala is a comparable, though sweet, spice mix popular in Maharashtra. Some leaves commonly used for flavouring include bay (tejpat), coriander, fenugreek, and mint leaves. The use of curry leaves and roots for flavouring is typical of Gujarati and South Indian cuisine. Sweet dishes are often seasoned with cardamom, saffron, nutmeg, and rose petal essences.
Indian Spices at a shop
Cuisine differs across India's diverse regions as a result of variation in local culture, geographical location (proximity to sea, desert, or mountains) and economics. It also varies seasonally, depending on which fruits and vegetables are ripe.

Pattern Building
Artist: Matt O'Neill
May 2013
Pattern Building suggests a sense of order and harmony, sometimes through the mere act of being stacked (superimposed, juxtaposed, or absent) in otherwise chaotic associations of color and line.
These selections are evocative of urban situations, either seen from altitude, or represented on a city's transport schematic, or the overlay of geographic and physical features meant to evince a knowledge of the situation affecting our environment—whether we live there or not is irrelevant since we can view and empathize.
In abstraction art doesn't represent anything—at least not on purpose. Although recognizable things may be discernible, I didn't intend for them to be there. This doesn't mean that what you see isn't there, just that the interactions of the form are available for subjective interpretation.
Environment is key—but not just geography, but time, mood, and stimulus. I may find myself at a particular moment of reality, and the work will often reflect that; either in choice of color, or rhythmic values.
Certain environments become 'collectivized' in my experience, so that a city of boxy buildings will produce a similar response whether Ottawa, Seoul, or Frankfurt. A landscape of natural beauty will do the same, be it the Alps, the Pacific, or the Negev. When associated on a canvas, these environments lead to even further changes in the motifs in a work, convoluting it, and eventually leading to a new harmony.

The Significance of Stairlifts for Elderly
For older adults, a fall might result in the loss of mobility and independence. Oftentimes, because of osteoporosis, the bones of senior citizens become a lot more fragile, thus even low impact falls may quickly lead to a major injury. Among all the sections in the house, the staircase is among the most common places for falls & also the most probable place that may lead to a major injury among the elderly. Due to the risks associated with the stairs, it's normal for seniors to become concerned about the stairs, especially if they've experienced an earlier fall. Elderly may also opt to completely avoid places with stairs or use them only if there's a person who can assist them. However, this does not address the issue permanently. As a result, you find stair lifts being commonly used in most households in the US. Visit here for an advantage plan quote https://www.medicareadvantage2019.org/
Stairlifts actually carry a person up the staircase. At the moment, there are various types of stair lifts available in the market to meet the needs of seniors. Nevertheless, they are available in 2 primary categories. The first one is battery operated stair life which is very popular among seniors. The biggest advantage of a battery operated stair lift is even in case of a power failure, you're able to operate it without any trouble. On contrary, AC operated stair lifts receive their power only via your house. Also, their cost is quite reasonable. However, if there's power loss, you won't be able to use them. For many seniors, the additional security of having a battery as a backup option outweighs the extra costs.
The older models of battery operated stair lifts were quite inefficient in their working. Just like a cordless phone, you were required to park them in a particular place so as to charge them. At present, the majority of the battery operated stair lifts utilize a constantly charging mechanism, so irrespective of where you place the device on the track, it'll still get charged without any problem. About Medigap healthcare coverage for seniors: Medicare supplement (Medigap) plans are highly suggested for people who're 65 and older as they tend to pay for things that Medicare Part A and B don't cover. But, it's crucial for you to you know that the coverage may differ based on the state you live in. Hence, we advise you to research the plan in your respective state and make your decision based on your healthcare needs.

Data support exporting U.S. crude oil
Freeing the oil market will lower gasoline prices, give industry a fighting chance
The U.S. oil supply is at one of the highest levels ever; it's time to start selling it.
The American Petroleum Institute reported last Tuesday that 12.7 million barrels of oil is sitting in storage, sending the price for West Texas Intermediate to the $44-range at mid-morning on Wednesday. That's a 60 percent drop from June highs.
Oil producers have begged Congress for over a year to lift the ban on exporting oil to all but a handful of countries. The limit on exports was imposed following the 1973 oil crisis, when OPEC used their control of the global oil supply to punish the United States for support of Israel.
OPEC no longer sets the price of oil, thanks to a boost in production around the globe, but particularly in the United States. Saudi Arabia has abdicated the role of swing producer, promising to allow the market to set the price based on supply and demand. But the U.S. doesn't participate directly in the global market, Congress won't let it.
The ban on exports creates a differential between the price of WTI and Brent crude, the global index. Because WTI piles up within U.S. borders, the price drops lower than Brent. Oil producers want to compete on the global market to get higher prices, and therefore keep operating.
Those who oppose oil exports claim that exporting American oil will raise the price of gasoline. That's simply not true. The price of gasoline follows the price of Brent, not WTI. American refiners are allowed to export gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to the global market, and that's what sets the price for those commodities.
Those exports also repudiate the argument that somehow selling U.S. crude will hurt America's energy security. Nothing could be further from the truth, since petroleum is traded on a global commodity market. There is no way to seal America's borders and keep U.S. oil only for U.S. consumers, and its equally impossible to deny the U.S. the ability to buy oil from every producer.
U.S. refiners, of course, don't want to get off the catbird seat. For decades they have enjoyed not having to compete with other buyers for U.S. crude and now they complain losing that privilege will hurt their business. A few months ago, they claimed they could handle all of the crude U.S. producers could deliver. The rising stockpile, though, proves that wrong.
U.S. refiners are also preparing to shut down for maintenance and to switch from refining winter fuels to making summer blends. This will exacerbate the surplus and send prices even lower. Goldman Sachs predicts another 10 percent drop to about $40 a barrel.
That's not fair to American producers, who could sell their product overseas for more than that. The time has come to let the U.S. oil companies and refiners compete on the open market without any more coddling from Congress. If we believe in free markets, then we should let this one open up.

Time Out says
Bryce Bernhardt from Church St Enoteca is behind the pans of this modern European restaurant. They may boast cathedral ceilings and timber beams, but that doesn't mean you can't get three different kinds of hash for lunch, if that's your cup of tea. But come dinner time the menu gets more traditional with house terrines, pickled heirloom vegetables, pastas, suckling pig or maybe a twice-cooked half duck.

Some cupcakes I whipped up for a dinner party last night. The recipe comes via The Times website, and was contributed by Konditor and Cook. I first tasted the professionally baked version in January, when my friend H ordered the lemon chiffon cake for his birthday lunch. Though we all agreed that it was slightly too sweet, it was fairly enjoyable. When H let on that the recipe was available on The Times website, I mentally filed it away for future reference, then promptly forgot all about it (my brain is as messy as my room).
Anyway, I took the opportunity to try it out for myself yesterday, mainly because I wanted to see if I could make my version fancier than the K&C one, and also because we were going to bring a cake along to the dinner party anyway. I absolutely loathe storebought, fondant-covered birthday cakes, so tried to make mine as festival as possible, in honour of the host's birthday last Thursday.
The recipe is fairly basic, although I had to make a few tweaks to the frosting, which still turned out far too sweet anyway. I added lime zest and the juice of about a quarter lemon to it for a stronger flavour, and also added a little bit of green food colouring to it, mainly because I liked it. The frosting was topped off with pieces of lime and lemon peel for a more colourful look. My frosting was also made with a 50-50 mixture of mascarpone and cream cheese, as I feel that mascarpone adds a creamier texture to it. And because I just like mascarpone. Oh, and I left out about 100gms of the recommended 640gms of icing sugar, since it was already toothachingly sweet.
Let me know what you think if you do try this recipe.
On an unrelated note, look what I got in the mail from Sunny - sexy little porno earrings! She has lots more vintage porn jewellery in her Etsy shop, so I'd recommend you checking it out if you're feelin' naughty.

Leaving our Campsite in between the river we had to cross it at some point. No easy task since the river was the strongest to cross so far. Make your own picture:
However stubborn as we are we went on and fought our way up the hillslope. You can guess… Yep, bushwhacking again!
While the view over Duke River valley became really great we also became melancholic. We were slowly reaching the border of Kluane territory and it felt like saying farewell to a good friend.
Two last highlights for remembering where given to us by finding a small lake for relaxing and swimming and later finding some deer antlers that Stilian reckoned as a treasure.

Political Analysis and Commentary
Freeman Center Chanukah Appeal for Support
Let us be Maccabees and fear not the evil Amalikites who defile the Holy Temple, Let us drive them from the Temple Mount and re-sanctify the Temple. This is the true meaning of Chanukah. It is not some pagan gift giving season designed to emulate the Christmas of the the gentiles.
As we approach the end of the tax year, it is important to remember the Freeman Center. All donations are tax deductible under IRS 501 (C) 3.
Remember, we opposed Oslo in 1993 and Obama in 1997 (before his first election). We believed in the late Rav Meir Kahane and Dr. Baruch Goldstein. We supported prayer for Jews on the Temple mount before it was a popular issue. We opposed discrimination in housing for Jews. We opposed the anti-Zionist Supreme court and the Israeli media. We believe in massive, rapid construction in Yesha. We opposed the expulsion of Jews from Gaza.
Politically we called for the formation of a National, Zionists, and religious coalition to solve Israel's security and economic problems. We have always believed that instead of Hasbara we should be fighting a massive PR battle to counter the lies and slanders against the Israel and the Jewish People.
We are not fat with funds, like mainstream Jewish organisations.
We have sacrificed money for maintaining a True Zionist ideology. WE DESERVE YOUR SUPPORT

Runaway April 22, 2008Posted by L in Life.
No, I am not posting lyrics to a song by that name here.
Completely different topic, that would be.
Things are still just out of (my) control here.
I already want to escape. Not go into hiding for good.
I just want to take a day, go mindless, and escape before diving back into the chaos and stress that has been the last week. Is that bad?
Anyone want to runaway with me? Maybe see a movie and eat fake-butter-buttery popcorn?

Internet Magazine, January 2004
Flash - ah ah!
Sean McManus reports on two pioneering accessible Flash games
For a long time, Flash was attacked for being inaccessible. Since the launch of MX in 2002, Flash files can include descriptions and alternative text for screenreaders. In MX 2004, designers can control how someone tabs through the Flash interface using the keyboard.
Jon Harris, Macromedia's technical accessibility manager for Northern Europe, says: "You can hide elements of the Flash file from the screenreader so anything that doesn't aid navigation could be ignored. Drop down navigation is visually pleasing but tends to be difficult to make accessible due to its extensive use of Javascript. Flash makes this easy as you can have the top level navigation read by the first pass of the screenreader and only have the second level read as the person delves into the site."
RNIB commissioned Nomensa to produce a Blind Date game for Valentine's day last year. Players make multiple choice decisions that dictate how the date goes. On screen, there's a Flash animation with a pre-recorded soundtrack. Screenreaders can access a description of the animation in the Flash file. There's also a HTML version for hearing-impaired players and screenreaders that won't work with Flash.
"We wanted to raise awareness within the Flash community that it was possible to make visually exciting interactive projects," says Nomensa's director of communications Sally Lincoln.
Because there was little knowledge about how screenreaders interacted with Flash, Nomensa had to test them all while building the site. "Earlier versions of screenreaders such as anything before Jaws version 4.5 do not have the capability to read Flash," says Lincoln. "This was a quite cutting edge project and used new functionality of both Flash MX and screenreader software."
The Disability Rights Commission (DRC) has created an accessible Flash game called Little Shop of Horrors to teach people about accessible shop design. (The website that was hosting this game is not available as at June 2009). The DRC's publications and internet manager John Hunt says: "We wanted to break new ground in website accessibility and show that accessible sites need not be 'boring' - they can be interactive, use animation and have 'fun' features."
The Flash version is accompanied by a HTML version for visitors who don't have Flash or don't have a compatible screenreader.
"The main problem with Flash's accessibility features is that they work only with recent versions of some types of screen reading software," Hunt says. "So a lot of blind users don't benefit from them. Because of this we have improvised and created additional routes. For example, we have a prominent Flash animation on the home page of our new campaign microsite and we created an adjacent tiny spacer image with an alt tag describing what happens."
So far, there are few other accessible Flash sites out there. The onus is now on developers to start using the new features and providing feedback to Macromedia, Lincoln says. One barrier to more widespread use is developer ignorance about accessibility requirements. "If the developer using Flash is not aware of a requirement they will obviously have problems making the technology accessible," says Lincoln. "There is no magic wand - the only way to make accessible technology is to understand accessibility!"

Four guys with a lot of experience and a huge network had the same vision: "the right to exist for both companies and people, depends on the ability to change continuously". They decided to combine their expertise and launched The Change Network.
They found that many traditional consultants are verbally very strong, but rarely practice what they preach. This will lead to nothing. Change can only really take place when you are actively involved in communication, motivation, knowledge, structure and processes within a business. This is exactly what The Change Network is all about. They get fully involved, are dedicated and they have a passion for people and business.
However, they are change experts in a field of business with a reluctant attitude towards change. On top of that, The Change Network is a new player regardless of their expertise.
