From Inside Team Huckabee
A senior Huckabee campaign official: "There is no foreign policy credential."
Now this is an anonymous quote, but CNN hasn't been other than pro-Huckaboom for a month.
And that is Huck talking about "CIA numbers," not an anonymous source.
This makes the Huck Team gaffe total a new all time two-day record, no matter how you count.
Whether the evangelicals who like Huck abandon him or not, the campaign is over. You can't run for president in a time of war and particularly at a moment of international crisis and appear so obviously unprepared for the job.
The transcript, from the CNN segment:
WOLF BLITZER: "Let's go back out to the campaign trail right now. Presidential candidate appears to be trying to change the subject after making what some are calling a notable gaffe. That would be republican Mike Huckabee. He's a former governor with less foreign policy experience than some of his rivals. Now some are wondering if that is becoming obvious out on the campaign trail. Let's go out to Iowa, Dana Bash is watching all of this unfold. You've learned about the concerns inside Huckabee's own camp about his national security experience. Explain to our viewers what's going on."
DANA BASH: "Well, Wolf, in a very candid moment today, a senior Huckabee campaign official told me that with their candidate, quote, 'There is no foreign policy credential.' And that unlike many other presidential candidates, he can't boast about knowing Benazir Bhutto. This official also said that until they can, quote, 'get him briefed' and up to speed on Pakistan, they're going to try to bring it closer to home. Mike Huckabee is responding to crisis in Pakistan in an offbeat way, tying it to a red hot campaign issue: immigration."
GOVERNOR MIKE HUCKABEE: "There were more Pakistanis who illegally crossed the border than of any other nationality except for those immediately south of our border. 660 last year. That's a lot of illegals from Pakistan."
BASH: "Sounding an alarm about illegal Pakistanis in America is a surprising tactic for a candidate who preaches tolerance. He dismissed any concern it looks like xenophobia."
HUCKABEE: "No none. Not at all. I'm just saying that a lot of Americans sitting in Pella, Iowa maybe look halfway around the world and say how does that affect me?"
BASH: "When asked by CNN for the source of his statistic, 660 illegal Pakistanis, Huckabee seemed unsure."
HUCKABEE: "Its come largely from CIA numbers, and ill get u the exact source, but those are numbers that i got today from a briefing, and I believe they're CIA and/or immigration numbers."
BASH: "A senior Huckabee campaign official admitted to CNN the former Arkansas governor has, quote, 'no foreign policy credential.' that's why his campaign turned to immigration, a top concern for Iowa GOP voters especially men he's been losing ground with. The pivot followed a gaffe, not appearing to know martial law was lifted in Pakistan two weeks ago."

Russian State Prosecutor Vladimir Ustinov, the front page of the Russian newspaper Izvestia reports, has decided to launch an official investigation of the Shulhan Arukh, the definitive compendium of Jewish law written in the 16th century by Rabbi Joseph Caro and used to this day - generally in an abbreviated version - as a standard reference book by Orthodox Jews.
Prosecutor Ustinov has already summoned Moscow rabbi Zinovy Kogan, chairman of the Congress of Jewish Organizations, for questioning in order to determine whether the Shulhan Arukh should be banned for "racist incitement." He took this action after receiving a letter last January, signed by 500 patriotic Russians, calling the Jewish religion "anti-Christian and inhumane" and demanding that the Shulhan Arukh be banned. ...
The article goes on to recall Pope Gregory IX, who in 1240 CE launched an investigation against the Talmud (the central text of Jewish learning), which resulted in the confiscation and burning of 24 cartloads of sacred Jewish books.
Halkin adds that the 500 Russian luminaries who signed the letter (among them chess champion Boris Spassky) are by no means alone - they are in the company of the leaders of the Anglican Church, which has singled out Israel as the target of its disinvstment campaign. (In these enlightened times, it is apparently OK to do business with Jews - just so long as the Jews don't live in their own country.)
Ah yes, European civilization.
UPDATE: The investigation has been dropped.

There's more RadeonSI Gallium3D driver improvements that landed today and overall Mesa/G3D improvements.
As the latest work on the RadeonSI driver -- the open-source AMD Linux driver for the Radeon HD 7000 "Southern Islands" GPUs and newer -- Marek Olšák has now provided support in mainline Mesa for layered rendering and the OpenGL AMD_vertex_shader_layer extension.
Via the OpenGL.org registry, "This extension exposes the gl_Layer built-in variable in the vertex shader, allowing rendering to be directed to layered framebuffer attachments with only a vertex and fragment shader present. Combined with features such as instancing, or static vertex attributes and so on, this allows a wide variety of techniques to be implemented without the requirement for a geometry shader to be present."
It was just last month that Intel's Mesa DRI driver began supporting this OpenGL extension. Hooking in the support in the Gallium3D world required changes to the Mesa state tracker, and other Gallium3D code, before Marek Olšák enabled it. Hopefully the other OpenGL 3 capable Gallium3D drivers will begin supporting the layered rendering feature in the near future.
In terms of where the open-source RadeonSI OpenGL performance currently is at, check out last week's 21-way open-source comparison and the other many recent Phoronix articles.

'RUDRA' will be a special character for me, says Director Anurag Kashyap
Imaikkaa Nodigal, with the magnanimous starcast of Nayanthara, Atharvaa and Raashi Khanna will see Anurag Kashyap, the director who made heads from around the world turn & look at Indian films with new awe and apppreciation play the baddie. It is surprising that, although Anurag Kashyap has always loved, adored and followed Tamil films and also has a very friendly connection with directors like Vetrimaaran; this will be Mr.Kashyap's first ever association with tamil films in any manner.
Imaikkaa Nodigal which is being produced by Mr C J Jayakumar of Cameo Films is being directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu of De'Monte Colony fame. The cinematography of the film is by R D Rajasekhar and music by Hiphop Tamizha. Important sequences of the film have already been shot with the lead actors in live locations in Bangalore and Chennai and the shoot will go on in the coming months in Chennai and other locations in India.
"What pulled me towards acting in Imaikkaa Nodigal is the role. RUDRA is not your typical baddie. He doesn't just smoke, drink, order his men around and indulge in item numbers. He is menacing, scary, smart and cunning. This strange mixture that forms the role is what tempted me to take it up although I was tied up with my own projects back in Mumbai. When the audience watch the movie in theatre, if I'm able to evoke the tiniest of fears in them, as Rudra, I'll consider my work done."
Having shot with the team for a few days, Anurag Kashyap has nice things to say about the team. "It's great to see youngsters take up the initiative and do interesting films like this. Films that demand a lot of experience and detailing. I'm surprised by Director Ajay's command over the medium. DOP RD Rajasekhar is a friend of mine and I've had the joy of working with him in A R Murugadoss's Akira before this. His frames are a delight to watch. Additionally, the production has been impeccable. Every need of the artistes, technicians and the film is being taken care to the tee."
While three schedules of the film are already over, there are a couple more schedules to go as the film will wrap up by the end of April. All eyes are on Imaikkaa Nodigal and Anurag Kashyap tells us that it will be worth the wait.
"I can't wait to see the movie on screen myself!" signs off Anurag enthusiastically.

Here's a quick round-up of what I've been working on lately.
Did you know there is a direct correlation between how much you paid for something and how much time/material expense you'll have to put into it? I can vouch. This here's a keeper, but man, it's gonna need some work. (That's stripes of hot glue you see on the first layer of fabric--discovered after ripping off the top layer of forest green floral fabric). These (there are two) were donated to the cause for sanity (mine) by Kacie B. which I appreciate SO much! When I used to work at a feline clinic, friends would drop off kittens. Now they drop off furniture!
Another pair of DARLING children's chairs from the 1960's. Got them for a song as they really need some sprucing up.
It's "TRAVEL" month at the shop this month, so off to Paris went this vintage train case. Not sure if it's finished. What else could I add to it?
And just for something fun, I tried making these paper feathers (shown back and front below). There's a cute 'tute at Todolwen - Old To New. I want to alter them some how or add text--still thinking on these.
What's on your craft table today? Leave a comment and let me know!

Hi sweet Jan!!! I love all of your goodies and projects in the making! I've been wanting to make those feathers of Karen's for awhile now...thank you for reminding me about them ~ I hope you're doing wonderful!! hugs and love, DawnReplyDelete
Love the feathers..... good luck with those chairs!ReplyDelete

What is a proper work-up?
The correct work-up is an investigation of your symptoms that is more likely to benefit you than harm you.
Running tests on a person is not harmless. We stick you with needles. We zap you with radiation. We inject stuff into you. Then we find abnormalities that require more tests. Don't get me wrong, this type of thing is often helpful and even life-saving, but every time we start down this path we risk hurting you. Even perfectly correct work-ups carry real risks and harm real people.
We have worked very hard to decrease these risks. In some ways the medical work-up is a victim of its own success: we have decreased the risk so much that we begin to assume it's harmless. Health care does a lot more good than harm, so we forget about the harm all together.
You can safely carry a weapon if you respect the danger it presents, but you'll end up shooting yourself in the foot if we forget it's a weapon at all.
Doctor D has seen enough people hurt by medical care that he has a healthy respect for the danger he puts you in every time he orders a test or a medicine. Unfortunately, most patients have little or no concept of the dangers posed by health care. Even patients who distrust doctors trust our machines and laboratories.
There is a very old medical term called, Benign Neglect. It means that if the symptoms are not likely dangerous and the best course of action is just to watch patiently without doing anything. Doctor D has never heard a physician younger than 70 use this term.
Today's doctors are men (and women) of action. We have the tenancy to work up everything just because we can—because we are scientists and want to get to the bottom of things. Then the legal system reinforces this behavior. Doctors are frequently sued for not doing enough, but almost never sued for over-testing or over-treating although these things are also dangerous. We protect ourselves legally and keep our patients happy by ordering big work-ups for every symptom. More is always better!
Consequently US healthcare is the most expensive in the world, and Americans get more tests and scans than anyone else, but we aren't any healthier or live any longer. In fact, the opposite is true. We forget that healthcare should be used with caution.
Seeing a doctor about your symptoms is like hiring a trigger-happy bodyguard. It might be worth it if you're life is threatened, but if you life in a safe neighborhood the jumpy security might be more likely to accidentally shoot you than save you.
Before your doctor goes nuts with a big work up you may want to ask, "Do you think these symptoms represent a dangerous disease or is it safer to ignore them?" Some symptoms need the big work-up and some need nothing at all.
If you come to me with an uncomfortable runny nose and low grade fever for a couple days you probably won't get any more work-up than a careful physical exam. If I don't find a problem I'll say "It's probably a virus" and advise you to ignore it. I could order a CT scan of your head, but that radiation that is more likely to harm you than provide any useful answers.
If you come to Doctor D with "red flag" symptoms like significant unexplained weight loss he'll probably keep testing until he finds an answer—but not every situation:
Doctor D once had a 97 year old that came to him with unexplained weight loss and weakness. Doctor D said, "This could be a lot of things, many of which are serious, but at your age aggressively finding and treating the serious ones are more likely to cause you pain than prolong your life. My advice is a few basic blood tests to rule out things that would be easy to treat. If that doesn't show anything then let's just treat the symptom with high-calorie shakes." The patient agreed and we did a tiny work-up that gave no answers. We treated the symptoms and he lived comfortably for several more years before dying in his sleep. I have no idea what finally killed him, and I really don't mind not knowing.
Your work-up is a personal thing being done to your body and it should reflect your values.
Your body is yours and your doctor works on it for you. You are supposedly directing the care. Unfortunately, you don't always get to exercise your authority in the situation because your doctor is usually responding to what he or she guesses you want. First your doctor comes up with a large work-up because they assume you want it. Who wouldn't want lots of tests, right? If by chance the work up is inconclusive your doctor (or doctors) decide you must want it stopped, because further testing is risky without offering a lot of expected benefit (since most scary diagnoses have already been ruled out). Then if you say you want to keep going with the work-up the doctor suspects you are neurotic since you are acting against your own best interest.
A thorough work-up is complex, but your busy doctor may not take the time to discuss it. But the good news is you are in charge and don't even know it.
It is important for you to take charge of your work-up. Tell your doctor your values. Say what you want from your work-up. Ask about the risks and the benefits of tests. Remember the doctor is a dangerous ally, and communication is the safest way to take control of your healthcare.
What do you think? Do you think much about the risk of medical testing? Does your physician ever discuss risks of work-up? How would do you think your personal values would affect your approach to a work-up? Doctor D loves hearing your stories and thoughts in the comments.

The Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS projector is totally unique to SIM2 and represents the culmination of 10 years of innovation and research in the fields of video projector design and technology.
CEDIA EXPO, Atlanta, Georgia -September 2009 -The Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS projector, latest addition to SIM2's award -winning Grand Cinema™ C3X series, is totally unique to SIM2 and represents the culmination of 10 years of innovation and research in the fields of video projector design and technology. Among the smallest and highest -performing Full HD 3 -Chip projectors on the market, the C3X LUMIS is packed with power for premium performance all within the dramatic industrial design for which SIM2 is justly famous.
The Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS projector achieves extraordinary picture quality through the partnership of the latest 0.95" 1080p DC4 DLP® chipset from Texas Instruments, the precision optics of SIM2's ALPHAPATH™ light engine, and SIM2's enhanced DynamicBlack™ technology. No other projector technology can match the superb color depth, excellent contrast ratio (up to 35,000:1) and exceptional brightness (3000 ANSI Lumens) that the Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS is able to deliver. Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS combines DynamicBlack™ technology with the world -renowned technical expertise of SIM2's R&D design team to achieve increased contrast and black level performance from this new projector. This improved black level performance enables the C3X LUMIS to produce images that contain the maximum amount of detail possible in dark scenes without compromising black level or the excellent dynamic range available from DLP technology.
SIM2 has developed a unique solution to achieve this, using three distinct specialized components: a user adjustable iris, DynamicBlack™ technology and a new dimmable lamp. SIM2's custom -designed dynamic iris utilizes a non -symmetric, folded aperture, powered by an ultra -fast motor and is placed at the front -end of the light path. This ensures that unwanted reflections are kept out of the light path. DynamicBlack™ technology provides the dynamic iris with micro -second precision adjustment to the source material, on a frame -by -frame basis. These key ingredients allow Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS to be easily configured to meet the exacting requirements of a wide range of home theatre and professional applications, optimizing light intensity and black level to each scenario.
New ALPHAPATH™ light engine is featured with two key components. First, a new die -cast aluminum body dramatically improves thermal management of the light engine, which means we are able to use a more powerful lamp to deliver brighter images. This improved design also houses the new elements of the DynamicBlack system and user adjustable iris. Secondly, a new tapered rod -integrator, designed to accept the raw light energy from the lamp and convert it into a pure & refined beam of light. It is also where the light spot from the lamp is converted into a 16:9 aspect ratio before it hits the DMDs. After many ray -tracing simulations, SIM2's team of optical engineers found the best possible result in terms of image quality was not obtained through a classic rectangular -rod but with a longer tapered one. This new design helps further improve brightness uniformity and efficiency of light transmission.
Whether the requirement is for high brightness or optimum black level in darkened conditions, C3X LUMIS offers unrivalled customization and flexibility. For ease of installation, a choice of three lens options is available for Grand Cinema™ C3X LUMIS, which allows for even greater flexibility in the positioning of the projector.
Of course, the latest SIM2 achievement incorporates the functions and features demanded by custom -theater designers and installers. The C3X LUMIS delivers two selectable HDMI 1.3 inputs (both fully HDCP -compliant), as well as inputs for legacy formats component -, S -, and composite -video, as well as RGB connection. Both RS -232 serial and USB ports are included to ease connectivity for control and software/firmware communications. Even 12 -volt trigger outputs, as well as IR -sensor inputs, are on board for total flexibility of installation and control.
And lastly, in keeping with C3X Series styling, the C3X LUMIS housed in a stunning, high -gloss sculpted cabinet designed by Giorgio Revoldini with the company's trademark, flowing lines. This beautifully designed chassis and design -friendly custom color options are unique to SIM2. The C3X LUMIS, boasting elegance at its best, is available in the standard High -Gloss Gun Metal finish; optional finishes include, High Gloss and Matte Black finish, High Gloss and Matte White finish and High Gloss and Matte Red finish.
Availability: Now shipping
Finish Options: High -gloss Gunmetal (standard), Black, Red, and White color options available to order.
Suggested Retail Price: $34,995 (T1 and T2 lens) and $36,495 (T3 lens)

The Redmond, Wash., software makers Composite UI Application Block, also known as CAB, features best practices for developers building smart-client business applications.
Microsoft built CAB to support Visual Studio 2005 and is now promoting it to developers.
Eugenio Pace, a product manager in the Microsoft Patterns and Practices group, said the CAB application block is a reusable, source code–based component based on the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 that provides proven practices to build complex smart-client user interfaces based on well-known design patterns.
Pace, who is responsible for the "client space" in Patterns and Practices, said simple user interface parts can be combined to create complex solutions, but at the same time enable these parts to be independently developed, tested and deployed.
CAB helps developers to create user interfaces that leverage the Windows desktop, interact with multiple back-end systems, are easily deployed and configured, provide rich user experiences, and use complex data manipulation mechanisms that enhance user interface responsiveness, Pace said.
For instance, Microsoft said CAB can be used to develop smart-client line-of-business applications such as the following: OLTP (online transaction processing) front ends for things like data entry applications; rich client portals to back-end services such as portals to government services or bank teller applications; or UI-intensive stand-alone applications such as those used by call center staff, IT support desks or stock traders.
"CAB is essentially our foundational component for the smart-client guidance we have," Pace said. "My team has the goal of providing architecture guidance for our enterprise customers. We tell you how to put everything together in a way that is architecturally sound."
Pace said he and members of his team had been writing a lot of guidance in different forms, but "we felt we could capture the stuff weve written in books, in actual code and tools."
CAB is but one part of the deliverables the Microsoft Patterns and Practices group is working on.
"CAB is the scaffolding for building smart-client applications," Pace said. However, there are many other challenges developers face, such as how to build smart-client applications that operate offline, or sometimes online and sometimes offline, and to make applications aware of the network, he said.

Of course, your business could stand to lose you for a short period of time, but would your business be able to survive if you were to suffer a serious illness or injury and were unable to take part in the day to day running of the business for an undetermined amount of time?
AMP Elevate Business Overheads insurance will provide cover for your eligible expenses in the event you are forced to take time off of work. What's more, premium payments are generally tax-deductible. Keep reading to learn more of the benefits of this policy or submit your details below to receive a quote for cover.

Did you submit incorrect details? Not to worry, you can edit them below.
Benefits of AMP Elevate Business Overheads Insurance
Business Overheads insurance, will provide you with a benefit amount that covers the average expenses of your business in the event that you are unable to work due to total disability. Eligible business expenses under the policy are defined as:
- Regular expenses
- Expenses which existed at the time of the claim
- Rent
- Electricity
- Water
- Gas
- The salaries of employees who do not contribute directly to yours or the business earnings
- Regular business loan repayments
- If you are a medical practitioner or dentist, the net cost of a medical locum is also an eligible business expense.
AMP Elevate Business Overheads Insurance insures you for up to 100% of eligible ongoing expenses if you become totally disabled, as defined by your policy documents.
Business Overheads insurance is designed to cover those ongoing expenses that continue even when you're unable to work. This means that your AMP Elevate Business Overheads Insurance does not cover:
- Capital purchases
- Stock items
- Maintenance and repairs
- New loans or contracts you engage in after the time of the claim
- The salary or wages of employees who directly contribute to the earnings of your business.
If you are no longer able to carry out your duties and you are a co-owner of a business, you can still make a claim for a portion of business expenses. AMP Insurance will calculate the share of the business expenses that are eligible in the same proportion as the profits and losses are allocated between you and the other owners of the business.
When are you covered under AMP Business Expenses
The definition of total disability is different between insurers, so you need to make sure you understand exactly what you are covered for under AMP Elevate Business Overheads Insurance:
- Total disability benefit. If you are defined as being totally disabled according to the policy document, AMP will pay you the full lump sum benefit amount. You are defined as being totally disabled if you are suffering from an illness or injury that prevents you from carrying out one or more important, essential and income producing duties of your occupation.
- Business ownership. You will only be eligible for a benefit in the event of total disability if you owned the business immediately before, and during the time you are totally disabled. You must have been actively managing the business during this time to be eligible.
- Maximum benefit amount. Your AMP insurance benefit will cover the actual costs of all eligible expenses, up to the total disability benefit amount. The maximum amount you will receive from your AMP claim is 12 times the total disability benefit, and if a benefit payment is made in a month where you're eligible costs are less than the total disability benefit amount, the benefit period will be extended at the end of 12 months, until the total amount has been paid.
- Partial disability benefit. If you are partially disabled you may be entitled to a reduced benefit amount. You may be defined as partially disabled if you return to work after being totally disabled, but you are unable to carrying out one or more important, essential and income producing duties of your occupation. The partial disability benefit is then paid, less any amounts reimbursed from elsewhere, and your share of business turnover for the period of your disability.
Once your total or partial disability benefit is approved, you will have to serve the waiting period defined in your policy. If you have chosen a 14 or 30 day waiting period, and you return to work during the waiting period, in a full time capacity, for five consecutive days or less, AMP will extend your waiting period by the number of days you worked. If you return to work for more than five consecutive days of full time work, your waiting period will start again.

Happily, my library has a couple of these, so I got to start reading yesterday already. BUT. To keep the judging fair and confidential, I can't discuss these books until after the winners have been announced. So I can't post reviews here, or even rate the books on GoodReads, until after the awards are decided and posted. Which means you'll be seeing fewer book reviews from me for a while.
Just so you know!

Let's not mention I have been an elusive ninja, should we? Let's not point out Easter has been colder than Christmas this year (meteorological fact), should we? Let's also ignore the fact I am home feeling bleh the moment we have four days off and the sun is gloriously shining out there (icy cold but shiny and bright). Should we ignore that too?
Okay then. Let's just talk LIGHT. Yes. Welcome, welcome, we have missed you. Are you here to stay? Are you? Splendid.
Here are a few random snippets of light and reflections taken in the last couple of weeks. Even subway stations are beautiful right now.

I'm off to a good start this week...I finished my Play Date Cafe entry two days before the deadline! Whoo-hoo!
This week's color story by Jaclym Miller is bright and fun, check it out!
I love these colors together and decided to enter my card in the Tuesday Trigger challenge over at Moxie Fab World titled "Rainbow Bright"as well. The bright colors and the varying heights of the spools is what inspired me for my card (bargello technique) The spools made me think of the skewing of patterns. Here is the inspiration for the Tuesday Trigger.
I've been thinking a lot about my brayer the past week, so I tried something new with it and used my markers to color strips of color right onto the brayer. After a brayered my ink strip pattern, I cut strips and arranged them as my focal point using the bargello technique (click here for a great tutorial on this technique). Usually you use patterned paper to do this, but I went CAS and just used my ink colors.
After arranging my strips on a panel, I rounded the corners and applied a rub-on sentiment with a small, pink rhinestone. The panel is popped up with foam mounts.

Zeno's Paradox - and its implication on graduation (if any)
As a graduate student, I am really hoping that Zeno's paradox of the tortoise and achilles does not hold true. As per the greek philosopher Zeno, if a tortoise and Achilles are in a race, where the proud achilles gives the tortoise a head start in a race, when the Achilles is covering up the lead given to the tortoise, the tortoise must have already moved some distance. And, when Achilles is making up that lead, the tortoise has moved even further. This is his paradox. Imagine a graduate student working towards his thesis, when her advisor agrees that she has finished half of the work for her thesis, the advisor always adds another small amount. Again when the student finishes that lead, there is always another small addition. Hopefully, this ends... and the student graduates at some time!

This particular method for making soup takes 60 minutes from start to finish and the active work time is about 20 minutes. The amount of chopping is minimal and there aren't a lot of dishes to do at the end. The final product is remarkably elegant and would make a gorgeous first course for a dinner party (invite me so that I don't always have to do the cooking, not that I mind cooking – but one day off would be nice). We are quite fond of soup and salad for dinner on a school night. This one I can pull together in midst of a large amount of kid related activity. The only part that takes slightly more attention is softening the leeks. Don't burn them. Crunchy leeks are not what we're after.
Creamy Mushroom Soup (six servings)
- 2 tablespoons best quality butter
- 2 leeks, washed carefully, white parts only, finely sliced
- 2 shallots, finely diced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 20-oz sliced crimini mushrooms
- 2 cups Portobello mushrooms, coarsely chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth (will work just as well with vegetable broth)
- 1 tablspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon salt
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- 1 cup cream
- chopped chives for garnish
Heat butter in a soup pot or Dutch Oven. Add the leeks and shallots and sauté until soft, about 10-12 minutes. Add the mushrooms and white wine and sauté for 10 minutes. Add the chicken stock and simmer until the mushrooms are just soft (not mushy), about 15 minutes. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice.
Put the mushrooms and the stock in a blender (depending on the size of your blender you'll need to do this in 2-3 batches). Process until smooth. Pour processed soup back into your soup pot.
Whisk in the cream, salt and white pepper. Serve garnished with chopped chives.

Depending on whom you talk to, the open rein may be considered the "go to" aid, or the one rein aid with the bad rap. Many people move onto more sophisticated rein aids fairly soon in their riding process, convinced that the open rein is only for the young or the inexperienced.
The thing is, this rein aid is like the letter "a" in the alphabet. You simply can't start reading without knowing how it works and what it can do. Even when you become a fully mature, experienced reader, you can't just drop that letter in favor of all the others. It's always there, ready to be used in different ways, in a variety of circumstances.
And so it goes with the open rein.
What is the open rein?
It's the simplest, most basic rein aid we learn. It is of course useful in all the disciplines and with all types of bridles because of its primary effect, which is to invite the horse into the open space created by the rein action.
To open the rein, you simply move it away from the horse's neck, in the intended direction. Note that you don't pull back while you open. The pressure on the rein should be the same as it was when your hand was close to the neck. Your elbow should still be on your side as usual (i.e. don't open your elbow in the direction as well - no "chicken wings!"). The opening comes from your forearm as it moves away from the horse's neck.
The rein should be only 4 to 6 inches off the horse's neck. It doesn't need to open wide, or for you to take your hand to your knee (however tempting that may be at times). In fact, as you get better at opening the rein, you can reduce the distance from the horse's neck. Most advanced horse and riders can find the smallest open rein as useful as a wide one. Think maybe 2 inches off the neck as you progress in your balance and aids.
It sounds so simple, right? Just like the letter "a". Once you know the sounds (short and long a), you're ready to read every word it's used in!
Till you come across the more complicated words!
There's more to it than that.
So here's the thing with the open rein. Although that rein is fairly simple, it can't happen on its own. There have to be supporting aids that go along with it. So while you're working on the one rein, you have to coordinate your seat, outside rein and leg aids at the same time.
Otherwise, you will accomplish little. The only thing that happens if you use the open rein in isolation is that you literally turn the horse's nose in the direction of the pressure. He may or may not follow that pressure (has your horse ever moved in the opposite direction of the rein aid?). He may swing his neck in the direction and lose his straightness. He may also lose balance and engagement.
So in reality, the open rein isn't for the faint hearted!
When can you use an open rein?
Here are five common situations in which you could use an open rein to encourage better balance, throughness, impulsion and suppleness, depending on the situation. I'll start at the beginning for a beginner rider and horse, and then develop into more advanced use.
1. New Rider
The new rider clearly benefits from learning the open rein. As hand-dominated human beings, we are always pointing toward the objects of our attention. One of the most intuitive ways to learn to direct a horse is to essentially "point" with the rein. Open the rein to the direction you want to move in, and the better educated horse will comply.
However, you should also use your entire body and outside rein to support the open rein. Click here to read a detailed description of how the body and reins can work as one to achieve a turn from the whole body, rather than from just a rein.
2. Young or Uneducated Horse
The open rein is one of the first rein aids a young horse will learn, even if more developed rein aids are introduced shortly thereafter.
Used with the supporting aids from the rider's body, the open rein will teach the horse that pressure on the mouth translates into movement in a direction. It is an uncomplicated aid and naturally invites the horse to step into the opening created by the rein.
3. Straighten The Outside Shoulder
Does your horse have a tendency to "drop in" to the turn or circle? This means that when you turn, the horse cuts the circle toward the inside of the ring, thereby not really staying on the arc of the circle at all. You are lucky that your great seat can follow his trajectory, otherwise, you would continue on the circle (horseless) while he heads off somewhere completely different!
In this instance, the outside open rein can act as a correction.
A slight open rein on the outside will invite the outside shoulder to stay where it is and prevent it from falling in. In effect, you're creating some space to help encourage the shoulder to stay on the arc of the circle (straight on the circle). This is straightness.
You also need a direct inside rein (the rein that goes straight from the horse's mouth to your elbow, parallel to the horse's neck) as a support. This rein will also help to keep the horse's head from turning completely to the outside.
4. Invite Flexion
A mild open rein will invite the horse to turn his head just enough for you to be able to see the corner of his inside eye. That way, he will be looking in the direction of travel. Flexion is the beginning of softening of the poll, throughness and maintaining balance.
The inside open rein, coupled with an outside direct or neck rein (depending on if the horse is on a straight line or on a turn) will encourage the horse to flex to the inside. Flexion is the beginning of bend, so with the correct seat and leg aids, you can progress to bend as the horse becomes more educated.
5. Shift Weight To The Outside
This is the most complicated use of the open rein, and follows flexion.
Using an inside open rein (and outside rein as described above), and an active inside seat bone and leg, you can actually ask the horse to step out, away from the opening rein. This can be very helpful when you want to shift the horse's weight off the inside shoulder, and initiate a flexion or bend at the same time.
It also allows the horse to learn to step straight through with the inside shoulder rather than fall in or duck toward the middle of the ring (similar to #3 above, but focusing on the inside shoulder instead). A straight inside shoulder can be a big help when it comes to allowing the energy through the body - which means improved impulsion, throughness and suppleness.
I'm sure there are other uses for the open rein that I haven't thought of. Let us know in the comments below what your experience with the open rein is, and how you use it in your rides.

Graphic Recording
I use graphic recording as a visual tool to transforms complex ideas into simple and easy to understand images. The process of using words and images increases memory retention and promotes innovation and creative thinking. Since many people think in pictures, language used during workshops, conferences and meetings can be captured graphically, which makes information easy to refer back to throughout the event. The infomurals I create alongside event participants are always digitally captured so that event's impact persists long after.
I typically created infomurals in real-time on a large scale of 4 x 8 feet per mural.
Graphic Recording can be described as a method where I act as a silent partner during an event to capture and reflect content and ideas. This method can be applied to some of the following situations:
Capturing Keynote speakers at a conference
Recording a meeting or AGM
Scribing at a workshop or training
And more
Graphic Facilitation
Graphic Facilitation takes visual learning and engagement to the next level. Working alongside another facilitation or on my own I use visuals to create a more hands-on approach to visuals. This method allows participants to engage with the visual representation of their ideas. Graphic Facilitation can be found assisting in some of the following situations
World cafe
Workshops with small or large group discussion
Conference break out sessions
Strategic planning sessions
And more!
Hand-Drawn Videos
There's something uniquely special about watching someone draw. This is what I create with hand-drawn explainer videos. Created in various methods I do everything from script development, film and editing. Contact me to discuss your upcoming project!

On the Saturday of the annual Parade of Lights, snow fell outside the new Caf and Wine Bar at the Poor Richard's complex downtown. Inside, the freshly painted mustard-colored walls, wood floors and purple and red accents warmed many a freezing customer stopping in for hot chocolate.
The sun dropped behind the mountains, Springs cops cleared Tejon Street of cars, and families lined the sidewalks, kids bundled up in stiff snowsuits, hats pulled down to eye level. A high school marching band passed, bass drums swaying, followed by a gaudy float bedecked with candy canes, giant snowflakes and waving elves.
From my table inside the caf, I watched a Colorado Springs-style It's a Wonderful Life unfold as I sipped an '04 Joel Gott Zinfandel.
Now, in addition to what's arguably the town's best pizza, eclectic toys and a lifetime supply of used books, Poor Richard's offers a gorgeous place to sit and watch the world go by; free wireless Internet access; a stunning assortment of handmade desserts; healthy breakfast muffins; fair-trade coffee brewed one cup at a time; organically grown teas; a superb list of wines by the glass; and a tapas menu featuring traditional bites from Spain and Italy, made with top-notch imported ingredients.
City Councilman Richard Skorman and his wife, Patricia Seator, have carefully pondered every last detail to make their dream of the good life come true in a downtown space that's upscale in quality but affordable, warm and welcoming.
The tapas menu, designed by wine manager Stacy Halsaoui, formerly of Primitivo, debuted on Dec. 8 to an appreciative crowd. French, Greek, Spanish and Italian olives, marinated in-house in olive oil, seasoned with lemon and tangerine peel and herbs, are a house specialty ($6).
The impressive cheese selection includes Parmegiano di Reggiano, pecorino Toscano, French brie, Spanish valdeon and manchego, a mild and creamy Italian tallegio and Italian gorgonzola dolce, an exquisite mild, nearly spreadable bleu cheese. Four cheeses served with ample house-made, chewy flat bread comprises the cheese plate ($8).
The Italian meat tapas are available in full or half portions; a half portion of each fills a plate, and, with a side of focaccia or flat bread, makes a great light dinner. The braesola, thinly sliced beef cured in wine and spices, with slivers of Parmesan and bright green arugula leaves scattered atop, drizzled in olive oil ($7), wakes up the mouth. Same for the prosciutto di Parma, paper-thin cured Italian ham topped with sections of fresh figs ($7).
In addition to freshly made olive tapenade, caponata and chick pea hummus, the antipasti plate ($8) includes muhumbra, a traditional Israeli mix of pulverized walnuts, sweet red peppers, bread crumbs and a touch of honey. Try it with a glass of the fruity Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine from New Mexico or a chilled glass of the French Pinot Blanc, and toast downtown's newest haven for sipping and sitting.
A wonderful life, indeed.

This is easily added. On the other the static port will cover 99,999% of
the cases. First of all, changing the server port is not very easy from
end-user pov. In addition to finding a free alternative port number, the
user must also configure all clients to use this custom port. And 2868 is
not actually a randomly selected number. It's a currently unallocated port
number and does not belong to any of the dynamic port ranges. This means
that conflicts are not very likely.
But anyways, I'll still add this to my todo-list. ;)

I did a couple of firings in our kitchen this morning, and took some photos of the work in progress.
The firing was begun in oxidation until the first 7 cones were flat.
Then reduction commenced, perhaps too strongly and a rich tenmoko was obtained on some of the pieces.
A second fast firing yielded something like a classical orange peel salt glaze effect on all four small works in the kiln with just one teaspoon of baking soda!
These rather rustic offerings were enjoyed after a fortifying bowl of porridge.
Porridge that is, with Greek yoghurt and home made plum and orange jam.
The glaze recipe. Quantities are very approximate and rely on inspiration.
Two eggs, preferably from a hen of mature years, who enjoys the good things in life; abundant food, fresh air, and jolly company.
A daring splodge of Greek yoghurt, maybe 4 huge spoonfulls.
A swirl of milk, hopefully from a real cow with a name such as Bess or Daisy somewhere at some time.
A satisfying splatter of raisins, sweet products of hot summers in the sun.
A cup of white flour.
A big teaspoon full of baking powder (I put it in most things that I bake, after all it is baking powder so it must help!).
Method: Crack eggs on the rim of your own hand made mixing bowl.
(Fish out any shell that may have found its way in.) Add the yoghurt, and the milk. Beat it up a bit to break up the eggs and make a smooth, creamy mix. Bung in the flour. Add the baking powder. Fire in the raisins.
Blob into a hot electric frying pan that has in it either: a) a light dressing of extra virgin olive oil, b) a light dressing of sunflower oil, or c) a handsome knob of butter (made from the milk of aforementioned Daisy or Bess).
Cook on one side until bubbles start to form. Flip over and serve when appearing like a perfect orange peel salt glaze.
Enjoy with home made jam, honey (from happy bees), or ice cream.
Notice, no salt was added with this recipe, as it has lots of flavour, what with the yoghurt and the raisins. Jolly good for you, I am sure!

Association of Interferon Regulatory Factor-4 Polymorphism rs12203592 With Divergent Melanoma Pathways.
Gibbs DC., Orlow I., Bramson JI., Kanetsky PA., Luo L., Kricker A., Armstrong BK., Anton-Culver H., Gruber SB., Marrett LD., Gallagher RP., Zanetti R., Rosso S., Dwyer T., Sharma A., La Pilla E., From L., Busam KJ., Cust AE., Ollila DW., Begg CB., Berwick M., Thomas NE., GEM Study Group None.
BACKGROUND: Solar elastosis and neval remnants are histologic markers characteristic of divergent melanoma pathways linked to differences in age at onset, host phenotype, and sun exposure. However, the association between these pathway markers and newly identified low-penetrance melanoma susceptibility loci remains unknown. METHODS: In the Genes, Environment and Melanoma (GEM) Study, 2103 Caucasian participants had first primary melanomas that underwent centralized pathology review. For 47 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously identified as low-penetrant melanoma risk variants, we used multinomial logistic regression to compare melanoma with solar elastosis and melanoma with neval remnants simultaneously to melanoma with neither of these markers, excluding melanomas with both markers. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS: IRF4 rs12203592 was the only SNP to pass the false discovery threshold in baseline models adjusted for age, sex, and study center. rs12203592*T was associated positively with melanoma with solar elastosis (odds ratio [OR] = 1.47, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18 to 1.82) and inversely with melanoma with neval remnants (OR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.48 to 0.87) compared with melanoma with neither marker (P global = 3.78 x 10(-08)). Adjusting for phenotypic characteristics and total sun exposure hours did not materially affect rs12203592's associations. Distinct early- and late-onset age distributions were observed in patients with IRF4 rs12203592 [CC] and [TT] genotypes, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest a role of IRF4 rs12203592 in pathway-specific risk for melanoma development. We hypothesize that IRF4 rs12203592 could underlie in part the bimodal age distribution reported for melanoma and linked to the divergent pathways.

|By Krist Novoselić
Unlike other areas in the state, Danielson beat Gonzalez by 28 percent. The disparities in the race are so glaring that researchers conducted a study (Barreto, Caldwell, Oskooii, 2012). By comparing this race with other statewide races in the Yakima area and beyond, there is strong evidence of racially polarized voting. The study points to how Gonzalez was an incumbent justice who ran a well funded campaign with top endorsements. His opponent Danielson didn't raise any money nor did he campaign or gain any key endorsements. Yet, Danielson was the top-performing candidate in Yakima and Grant counties – receiving over 70 percent of the vote. In comparison, Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob McKenna came close to, but could not crack 60 percent of the vote in the August primary. Most stunning is the comparison to Susan Owens, another sitting Justice who ran a similar campaign to Gonzalez'. She won over 60 percent of the primary vote in her race. Apparently, implicit attitudes manifested among many voters compelling them to vote in a way inconsistent with other choices on the ballot.

I'm using a digi from Bugaboo, Meowy Christmas on my card.
I colored the cute little kitties (We happen to have 3 kitties in our household. They run the show, let me just tell you. They know it, too.) with Copic markers and then sponged Distress Ink Broken China around the top of the panel die cut with MFT Mini Scallop Stitched Rectangle. I sponged PTI's Soft Stone ink around the bottom, under the kitties. The sentiment is stamped from MFT Jingle All the Way set. I added all the little adhesive pearls (Recollections, from my stash from long ago) as the snow and used a SSS Falling Snow stencil as a guide. The focal piece is layered over a blue glitter panel (from my *old* stash) die cut with Blueprints 13.

Did Mercedes F1 Team Put Paul di Resta on Reserve RoleGiancarlo Perlas January 23, 2014
The re-entry of Paul di Resta to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters under the Mercedes team has been making waves recently in the online community.
Recently, it was revealed by Yahoo! Sport that the former Force India driver has not only signed for driving role in DTM. In addition to that, his contract includes a reserve role for the Formula 1 team of Mercedes-Benz.
Di Resta Denies Dual Role with DTM and F1
The source stated that di Resta denied of such deal but he indicated in his interview that he would be willing to have a dual role this year with DTM and F1.
After seemingly struggling in the previous F1 season, reporters asked whether di Resta felt that his F1 career is already over. However, the 27-yeal old driver strongly answered that it's definitely not yet over.
The new Mercedes DTM driver said that he felt sad for exiting the F1 circuit this year. He explained that the reason why he left is not because he did not perform well but because he had "other issues". It was not clear though what those issues are.
Di Resta Strongly Hopes for a Role with the Mercedes F1 Team
Di Resta mentioned that while he is really committed to his DTM role, he believes that Mercedes knows his strong desire to stay in the F1 arena. So, if such opportunity arises, he said that he will surely explore it.
However, since there is no such agreement yet that would let him get back to his role in F1, he commented that he will concentrate first on his DTM role.
