It looks like Nascar fans aren't the tech-averse no-nothings haters think they are. Advertisement It's no surprise that Earnhardt Jr. would edge out Kasey Kahne for the cover spot, given that Dale's been Nascar's Mr. Congeniality most popular driver nine times.While the Sprint Cup cars just started to use fuel injection, Nascar management has clearly learned how to run a successful online poll, which is more than can be said for Mountain Dew after their recent Nazi-themed mishap. Even the drivers are tech-savvy enough to get on Twitter in the middle of a race. Stock cars have come a long way from moonshine running. The game itself is made by Activision and has all the cars, drivers, and 23 tracks of the regular season. You can see what the gameplay will look like in this clip at Bristol, where the Sprint Cup will head this weekend.The game comes out November 6 and is console-only for Xbox, Playstation, and the Wii.

Arizona fired its own shot in the never-ending build-up of the NFC West Thursday by signing linebacker Jasper Brinkley to a three-year contract.
Brinkley, a fifth-round draft pick of the Vikings in 2009, became a full-time starter last season when the team opted not to re-sign veteran E.J. Henderson. Brinkley started 15 games last season, recording 114 tackles and three forced fumbles.
After not being part of the six-player re-signing binge on the day free agency opened Tuesday, Brinkley visited the Giants on Wednesday, but left without a contract. After meeting with the Cardinals front office Thursday, a deal was struck.
"Thanks to everyone in MN for all the support over my last four years," Brinkley tweeted Thursday night. "It really was a blessing to play with some great guys n great fans."
With Brinkley gone, the current Vikings depth chart has Audie Cole, a seventh-round draft pick last year, and Tyrone McKenzie and Larry Dean behind starters Chad Greenway and Erin Henderson.
Brinkley finished third on the Vikings in 2012 with his 114 tackles, behind only Greenway (184) and Harrison Smith (133). The signing of Brinkley by the Cardinals opens the door for the Vikings to either find a veteran middle linebacker in free agency or focus one of their first-round picks at the position – at this point, only Notre Dame's Manti Te'o and LSU's Kevin Minter rated as first-round MLB prospects (some see Alec Ogletree as a middle linebacker; others an outside linebacker).
While the Vikings have a long time before the regular season opener, for the third straight year they enter the start of a new season with front-burner questions at middle linebacker.

Spring has arrived! And with it come a variety of spring vegetables to toss into the soup pot.
Getting a weekly produce box has really grown on me. It's also grown me as a cook. I've been compelled to try vegetables and fruits that I might never have purchased at the store. The culinary world is bigger than I once thought it was.
Oh, in my newlywed years I read Bon Appetit faithfully each month and tested all kinds of great recipes. But, it wasn't until the last couple years that I started experimenting on my own. Having a box of strange vegetables thrust on me each week has prompted me to learn and grow. Pea tendrils and leeks are some of my very favorite new friends.
This soup isn't all that unusual, leeks, potatoes, carrots, and asparagus all play a role. Do some peeling and chopping. Give them a warm bath in a pot of chicken broth. Add some seasonings. Whiz by with the immersion blender. Voila! You have a beautiful soup bursting with the flavors of spring.
It's delicious on its own as a starter, or to accompany soup and salad as a main meal. Bon appetit!
Recipe: Spring Vegetable Soup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or salted butter
- 1 cup leeks, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 1 large potato, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 large carrot, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 pound asparagus spears (about 5) cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 4 to 6 cups chicken broth
- sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- In a large heavy pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil or melt the butter. Reduce to low and cook the leeks and garlic until the leeks are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, carrot, asparagus and 4 cups of the chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can blend the soup in batches in a food processor.
- Add more chicken broth, if desired, to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Chennai: Feb 17, 2013
Apparently taking a cue from the success of English players, Australian batsman Shane Watson on Sunday made it clear that his side will play aggressive against Indian spinners in the upcoming four-match Test series starting in Chennai from February 22.
Asked if the Australians will play like a Kevin Pietersen had done in England's successful Test tour of India recently, Watson said, "Absolutely. You've got to attack the spinners in a way that doesn't allow them to settle into a line and length and allow them to bowl that over and over again.
"You've got to put a bit of pressure on the spinners like we do against the quicks as well. The guys who have had most success here among foreign players are the ones who have done that. Pietersen is an amazing player of spin anyway and he's certainly very aggressive against spin.
"And that's where we have to find the gameplan to be able to have as much success as we can," said Watson who led the Australians in the second practice game against India 'A' in Chennai and hit a strokeful 84.
Watson felt that the visiting side would have enough acclimatisation to the Indian conditions by the time the second warm-up game ends on Monday.
"Obviously it's not easy to start batting against spin in Indian conditions and that's why we have got two practice matches, which is to try and get the guys to get their games into a position where when the first Test starts, we have a game plan and we know who has a good chance of working out and executing our plans.
"There's no doubt that's what India is going to hit us with. That's the reason we have come here early, to continue to evolve. Some guys haven't played in Indian conditions before, in Test matches especially, so it's a big learning curve for a lot of the guys to be able to improve their game and also find their game plan so they give themselves the best chance of success over here," he said.
Watson said he was not sure of his batting slot in the team — whether he would open or bat in the middle order, especially so after the injury concern over David Warner.
"I'm not sure at this stage. In first Test, it depends on whether Warner will be fit or not. If he's fit, I'm not sure, I'll probably bat at four. But the coach and the selectors and the captain haven't mentioned either way," said Watson.
"I certainly love opening the batting, there's no doubt about that. It's lot of fun to open batting in any conditions.
But I have played a lot in India over the last little while to be able to hopefully get some success at number four if that's the case. I don't know which way the selectors are going to go (if Warner is fit)."
He, however, made it clear that he would not bowl in the whole series.
"I'm not bowling at all throughout this Test series. The last 12 months haven't been that fruitful for my body. I haven't been able to get through that much cricket without being injured. And it's also affected my batting, coming back from injury and it's taken a little time for me to find my feet with my batting," he said.
"In short-term I am going to concentrate on my batting and build up my running fitness to be able to get my body to a place where I can hold together for a series or so. The medical staff and I are working out a plan and trying to get me to a stage where I am bowling. At the moment I am just batting and running and doing all the things I can," he added.
"I love bowling, I am not going to give that up. It's just that in the short-term I am just giving my batting a chance to improve."
Asked if the team was affected by the retirement of stalwarts like of Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey, Watson said, "It's not a concern. Losing Ponting and Hussey, there's always going to be a little bit of a change. Things are going to be a little unsettled.
"Especially in Indian conditions, because those guys have played very well in India in the past. That's a challenge for us no doubt, but we have the players to be able to handle any situation."

* Strikes largely Christian district of Sabon Gari
* Boko Haram targets popular night strip in Islamic city
* Islamist insurgency growing, becoming more deadly (Adds police confirmation, updates death toll, details)
By Ibrahim Shuaibu
KANO, May 18 (Reuters) - A suicide car bomber killed five people on a street of popular bars and restaurants in the northern Nigerian city of Kano on Sunday evening, in an area mostly inhabited by southern Christians, police said.
Kano police spokesman Musa Majiya said the bomber struck Gold Coast Street in the Sabon Gari or "foreign quarter" of the North's biggest city.
"I heard a loud blast. And there was a lot of smoke. Soldiers came in to cordon off the place and ambulances were rushing people to hospital," witness Abdul Dafar, who lives a block away from the blast, said, adding that he had seen four dead bodies in the aftermath.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but blame is likely to fall on violent Islamist group Boko Haram, whose struggle against the Nigerian state has killed thousands over the last five years.
The militants also operate in neighbouring Niger, Cameroon and Chad, and President Goodluck Jonathan described them as West Africa's al-Qaeda on Saturday in Paris, where regional leaders met France's President Francois Hollande to discuss how to tackle the growing threat posed by the group.
The Islamists grabbed world headlines with abduction of more than 200 school girls a month ago from a remote village in the northeast. Britain, the United States and France have pledged to help rescue them.
Boko Haram has frequently attacked Sabon Gari, whose liquor stores are also a cause of friction with Kano's Islamic police. The area has for decades housed ethnic Igbo traders from the South, who are predominantly Christian.
Nigeria's population of 170 million is split roughly evenly between Christians and Muslims.
Multiple bomb blasts in Sabon Gari killed at least 15 people in July and an attack on a bus station there in March 2013 killed 25.
The focus of Boko Haram's insurgency is on the northeast border area with Cameroon, where it has repeatedly attacked military outposts and massacred villagers with growing ferocity.
But two bombs on the outskirts of the capital Abuja last month that killed 105 people between them showed the Islamists can strike across north and central Nigeria. Boko Haram is now seen as the main security threat to Africa's biggest economy and top oil producer, although it has so far spared the commercial hub of Lagos and the oil fields in the South.
Outrage over Boko Haram's kidnapping of the school girls has prompted Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, criticised at home for his government's slow response to the crisis, to accept U.S., British and French help in the hunt for the girls.
U.S. officials have said the effort to retrieve the kidnapped girls is now a top priority. But it has been complicated by Nigeria's early reluctance to accept assistance and U.S. rules banning aid to forces that commit human rights abuses.

Dear Max
This is off the point(i'm sorry)…but I am a Canadian living in China for 8 years and the last 3 weeks we cannot watch YOUTUBE via VPN. Can you ask RT to put your show on Disclose.tv
I have no other way to contact you or RT; we have been blocked completely now. I teach here at the uni and my students also want to watch you.
I can tell you something about China. Something big is coming BUT the normal citizens don't know what it is. Inflation is now showing it's ugly head (13% /mo on household items) and the "new" 100 rmb bills are flooding the every day market. Oh, and off course some of us buy gold and silver and the other "traditional" chinese still invest in the stock exchange or property!
The normal citizens still trust their government and still thinks America is GREAT!
You see Farage at the end of that interview revealing where he is at regards banks and bonuses . In truth he and his party are the far right. He talks about bankers making huge profits and therefore earning huge bonuses but does he acknowledge the fact that the banks are a cartel engaged in vast criminal activity from FRB to liars loans, CDS's CDO's, HFT, naked shorting and taking huge positions ala the JP morgue copper play. Organized crime makes huge profits they have 'fraud as a business model' where have we heard that before ?
@flicks,……Tip: if you hear it on MSM,.. it's part of an agenda !
Nigel Farage was passionate and interesting and made sense – up until the last minute when he blew it with his utter BULLSHIT that we have to reward top bankers – even successful ones – with such outrageous bonuses, for fear they'll move elsewhere.
Not if we outlaw them getting outrageous bonuses elsewhere, too.
Then farmers, sales clerks, janitors, sanitation workers, teachers, transit workers should be paid billions of euros / dollars / ounces of gold each year to prevent THEM from moving elsewhere or mass rioting.
Nigal spent his formative years as a trader in the City of London.
@flicks … Farage being nice to bankster
Yes, I saw that when I posted it originally .. didn't bother to mention it though.
Farage, by saying that, is of course either not understanding what functions banks should have , or he's expecting the system's status quo to remain , i.e. no radical reform.
The investment Banksters can pay so much because they are living off ill gotten gains.
If the banking system was a pure utility – which is what it should be IMO – such enormous payments would be impossible. -
Yes .. in fact he worked at the Bullion Desk IIRC !
Premiums being payed on physical !
Precious Metals Default Scenarios-Jan-17-2011
Yep, Nigel blew it at the end.
The right is mostly hypocritical. They hate government EXCEPT when it comes to propping up the government backed counterfeiting cartels.
BTW, that's an attractive RT babe. I can hardly stand to see her American counterparts.
Nigel should shut up
What a hypocrite asshole. First blaming all the people who want to keep a strong united Europe and are ready to help each others and then defending the banksters, especially from London, who started all this mess in the first place. He´s just a British nationalistic bastard who wants to devide Europe, the same old game they try to play for centuries.
good points above from everyone which i agree with, plus I've also heard hs views on Iran which are fairly hawkish and makes one suspect he's a 'friend of Israel'. Still though his speeches in the European parliament do make for entertaining tele & radio no doubt.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Nigel Farage is justifying banker's bonuses!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Noooooooooo!!!…Shame on you Nigel, I'm disappointed with that…where is that gumption you showed in front of the Euro council "president"!!!!!
Nigel – blow it out your ear. What a right-wing tool.

High stakes for Arsenal, Fenerbahce in Champs LgeBy GRAHAM DUNBAR , Associated Press
Aug. 19, 2013 12:22 PM ET
GENEVA (AP) — Even by Champions League standards, the stakes are dramatically high for Fenerbahce and Arsenal in the first leg of the playoff round on Wednesday. Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger directs his players during the English Premier League soccer match between Arsenal and Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium in London, Saturday, Aug. 17, 2013. (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth)
FILE - In this Nov. 6, 2012 file picture Schalke's Klaas-Jan Huntelaar of the Netherlands reacts during the soccer Champions League group B match between FC Schalke 04 and Arsenal in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Schalke striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar will be out of action for several weeks due to a knee injury sustained in his side's 4-0 defeat at Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday Aug. 17, 2013. The club says on its website that Huntelaar has a partial rupture to a ligament in his right knee following a collision with Wolfsburg goalkeeper Diego Benaglio. The Netherlands forward will miss Schalke's Champions League playoff against PAOK on Wednesday and the away game in Greece the following Tuesday.(AP Photo/Martin Meissner, File)
Arsenal seems to be in turmoil after a Premier League opening day loss fueled fans' fury at the cash-rich club's failure to sign big-name offseason targets. "I believe our season will depend on how we respond to this defeat," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said Saturday after a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa on Saturday provoked hostile boos at Emirates Stadium. Fenerbahce hosts Arsenal in Istanbul only hours after its lawyers begin a two-day court hearing in Switzerland to challenge its expulsion from the Champions League by UEFA in a long-running, domestic match-fixing case. UEFA agreed to let Fenerbahce play while the appeal proceeds. The Court of Arbitration for Sport's verdict — promised next week after the return match in London — could yet decide which team advances to the lucrative group stage, and collects 15-25 million-plus euros ($20-$33 million) in UEFA prize money. Like Arsenal, AC Milan regards a place in the Champions League group stage as key to its image and finances. The seven-time European champion begins its season Tuesday away to PSV Eindhoven, the 1988 European Cup winner which has already reeled off three wins to sit atop the Dutch league. Zenit St. Petersburg offers a tricky debut for Champions League newcomer Pacos de Ferreira, which hosts the first leg in Portugal on Tuesday. Also Tuesday, Celtic has made the six hour-plus flight to face Kazakhstan champion Shakhter Karagandy, Lyon hosts Real Sociedad and Viktoria Plzen hosts Maribor. Wednesday's five-match lineup includes: Dinamo Zagreb vs. Austria Vienna, Steaua Bucharest vs. Legia Warsaw and Ludogorets Razgrad vs. Basel. Schalke hosts PAOK Thessaloniki, which was reinstated by UEFA last week. PAOK previously lost to Metalist Kharkiv, which was later expelled when a 2008 match-fixing case was resolved this month. Despite two legal defeats at CAS already, Metalist seeks another ruling from Lausanne by midday Tuesday (1000 GMT) to get back into the competition "on the basis of alleged new evidence," the court said Monday. Three of the 10 playoff pairings have been affected by UEFA match-fixing investigations since current champion Bayern Munich beat German rival Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium in May. Fenerbahce's case has the greatest potential for drama. The club, UEFA and CAS could not process its challenge to a two-season ban from European competitions before the matches against Arsenal. During an offseason legal saga, Fenerbahce forward Dirk Kuyt wrote to UEFA on behalf of the players. Kuyt said they had "a lot of questions" about the punishment dating back to matches allegedly fixed in the 2010-11 Turkish season. "This is not even proven that we are guilty," wrote Kuyt, whose club president was among several officials convicted in a criminal trial. They deny wrongdoing and have appealed. Injury-hit Arsenal knows it could lose over two legs and still earn a 16th straight season in the group stage — though Salzburg, Fenerbahce's beaten opponent in the previous qualifying round, could also seek reinstatement. England winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the latest Gunners casualty, seriously injuring his knee Saturday to join defenders Thomas Vermaelen and Nacho Monreal, plus midfielders Mikel Arteta and Abou Diaby on the sidelines. Milan, which begins in Serie A at Verona on Saturday, has played only friendlies ahead of facing match-fit PSV, now coached by former Netherlands midfielder Phillip Cocu. Schalke lost Dutch forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to a knee ligament injury in its 4-0 loss at Wolfsburg on Saturday. The revised fixture with PAOK brings the Greek club's coach Huub Stevens back to Schalke, where he won the UEFA Cup in 1997 and at which a second spell in charge ended last December. Romanian champion Steaua, the 1986 European Cup winner, hosts Legia while club president Gigi Becali serves prison time for financial wrongdoing. In June, UEFA weighed allegations that Becali tried to pay bribes to influence a 2008 league match, and deferred Steaua's one-year suspension for a five-year probation period. The 10 playoff winners join 22 elite teams that qualified directly for the lucrative group stage. The draw is made Aug. 29 in Monaco. © The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

New 'World of Warcraft' Mega Bloks Bring the MMO to Bricky Life
Though it's effectively conquered nearly every one of the million merchandising realms, Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft will finally enter the brick toy fray this summer with a full line of building sets from Mega Bloks. The MMORPG's most famous character types and beasts are present and accounted for in the line, with Alliance elves and humans on one side and Horde trolls, goblins and more on the other. Sets vary in size, ranging from single character packs to vehicle sets and larger environments. Even if you aren't a WoW addict, general fantasy fans will dig the "Deathwing's Stromwind Assault" set — you know, for including an evil dragon and a huge castle full of crazy warriors with armor and weapons. I'm also pretty fond of the "Sindragosa & the Lich King" set for likewise honing in on what makes the icy pair so threatening. From what I can tell, the line doesn't currently include any female WoW characters (unless you count Wyrms), which is a bummer since women make up much of the game's fanbase and a lot of male players choose female avatars, but perhaps more will be added as the line progresses? See some of the upcoming World of Warcraft Mega Bloks sets after the jump.

Soon after crossing the finish line, however, Berdymukhamedov's horse stumbled and he landed on the dirt. The footage of the embarrassing incident had been made public by international media, and Turkmen dissidents are using the video as an opportunity to ridicule the 'record-breaking' president.

Memory Loss from Medication 32 and Senile07/08/2010 |
I had seizures, was prescribed medicine and it wiped out a lot of my memory and processsing ability, Its been over a year since I stopped taking the Rx but I still have so much confusion that I can`t work a job. My husband had been supporting us but is now unemployed, we have no kids and no insurance and I can`t think straight, concentrate, remember things. I`ve developed a stutter, and have difficulty understanding directions. No Dr will see me without insurance and no one will tell me what`s happening to me. If there are health benefits for people like me I don`t know because the forms are hard for me to fill out and I don`t know how to find information without getting lost. What can I do? How do I get help?
The only services that may be available are at a local Community Mental Health Center. Hospitals also offer some free care and you would need to talk to the financial office to understand what a given hospital would be willing to offer.
Another option is to try to apply for Medicaid; you may be eligible. You may also be able to locate services at the link below.

Apple Says LED Backlit LCDs Coming this Year
Tuan Nguyen

Sender E-mail
Making a comment on being earth-friendly, Steve Jobs announces LED back-lit LCD panels
The last time Steve Jobs made a personal comment on Apple's front page was when the company was criticized for having let one of its suppliers,
Foxconn, treat workers poorly in foreign countries
. Jobs stepped up and attempted to ease the tension alongside
Apple having launched its own probe into the affair
. Today, Apple posted another press release
signed by its chairman and CEO
to make a commitment into being a more environmentally friendly company.
Coincidentally, Apple also slipped in a tidbit about the future of its LCD displays. Jobs mentioned in his post that one of the key areas that his company was striving for was the removal of mercury in the use of its products. Mercury is a chemical element that is present in LCDs that use fluorescent tube backlights. Apple will announce LED backlit displays within 2007, which eliminate the use of mercury, Jobs said.
"Fortunately, all iPod displays already use LEDs for illumination, and therefore contain no mercury." Jobs said. "Our ability to completely eliminate fluorescent lamps in all of our displays depends on how fast the LCD industry can transition to LED backlighting for larger displays."
Users will gain several advantages with the arrival of LED backlit LCD panels. One key advantage is LED backlit LCD panels have greater backlight uniformity than cold cathode fluorescent tube-based LCDs. This gives professionals more color accuracy and a larger gamut. Of course being green means energy saving, and LED panels use far less energy than fluorescent tubes.
Jobs also mentioned Apple is very
committed to reducing e-waste around the globe
and his company is looking into new ways of designing more earth-friendly products as well as sourcing new materials.
"Apple is already a leader in innovation and engineering, and we are applying these same talents to become an environmental leader," Jobs said.
After Jobs' announcement, Greenpeace quickly responded by indicating that because of Apple's new commitments, it will update Apple's 2.7 out of 10 rating to a approximately a 5.
"Apple fans have greeted this campaign, and they have made clear what they want-- an Apple which is not just green skin-deep, but green to the core," the Greenpeace said.
The Greenpeace group also asks that Apple develop a program to recycle unwanted products in an earth-friendly fashion, and Apple is doing just that. Old iPods will be accepted at all 150 Apple stores in exchange for a discount on a purchase of a new iPod. Oddly enough,
Greenpeace was kicked out of MacWorld late last year
for voicing its opinions on products being displayed at the show.
"Nowadays you can buy a CPU cheaper than the CPU fan." -- Unnamed AMD executive

Fleet and Special Mission
Fleet and Special Mission. Recently proclaimed as "the most sophisticated single engine airplane ever" by Flying Magazine, the Cirrus is known the world over for its capability, versatility and safety. The good news for fleet and special mission operators is that Cirrus aircraft are ideal for adaption to meet your exact needs and perform your unique missions.
Whether you need one aircraft to do a technically-specific job, or a fleet to accommodate a greater need, Cirrus aircraft will meet your requirements and perform with the most innovative standards and safety available in a modern single-piston airplane.
Special Mission
A special mission aircraft is a platform for work. And that means the ideal aircraft combines sophistication and simplicity so the focus of the pilot and crew can remain on the mission. Only Cirrus can provide you with such a high level of technical innovation and safety in an easy-to-fly aircraft.
A Cirrus aircraft is also easily customized for your specific needs. Due to the cabin placement, our low-wing design provides excellent ground visibility while maintaining superior traffic pattern safety. The result is ultimate utility. Examples of customized uses:
- Aerial surveys
- Aerial photography
- Air sampling
- All-weather transport
- Disaster support
- Drug interdiction
- Geothermic surveys
- Military pilot training
- Pipeline patrol
- Traffic enforcement and studies

Flight Training Mission
When student pilots train in a Cirrus, they are training for the future of aviation. Not the past. By training in a Cirrus aircraft, new pilots become proficient in modern aircraft avionics, including automation management, making them more confident, mission capable and more likely to complete their training and transition to revenue service. The superior situational awareness provided in the simple, but sophisticated Cirrus cockpit makes training pilots more confident and more competent.
In addition, the performance of the Cirrus aircraft allows advanced concepts such as energy management to be taught at an early stage and be developed as a core skill throughout the student's development. The aircraft design is especially well adapted to ab initio and scenario-based training due to the efficiency of the aircraft.
At Cirrus Aircraft, we are committed to the future of aviation – not only by growing and advancing general aviation aircraft, but by training future generations of pilots to be the best. And that's why we think a Cirrus is the ideal choice as a flight training aircraft for your training center.

UPDATE: While I have made 7 successful batches, it appears that many folks are running into trouble with this recipe. I recently made an 8th batch and it failed to gel. I will do my best to sit down and trouble shoot this recipe. In the meantime, a failed batch can be thickened and then re-canned by brewing an extra strong double batch of coffee and chilling it. You can whisk 1/2 cup of Clear Jel (not instant) or another canning starch into half of the cooled coffee, then whisk THAT into the batch of jelly in the pan. Place over high heat and stir constantly to bring to a boil. The Clear Jel should thicken it to spreadable consistency. If it is still not 'gelled', you can repeat with a one-tablespoon-to-one-tablespoon addition of Clear Jel to cold coffee, returning to a boil, until it reaches desired consistency. This will thicken it without adversely affecting the flavour. This can then be canned.
My husband lives, breathes, sleeps, drinks, and eats coffee. I mean REALLY. We tea drinkers often get a reputation as being high maintenance, but my husband takes the cake with his coffee rules. The guy opts to drive rather than fly on all business trips under 12 hours so he can take HIS coffee and HIS coffee maker with him. He gets it delivered automatically every month through Amazon.com because running out of coffee? Well, that's simply unacceptable.
His love for coffee runs to all things coffee related with the singular exception of coffee yogurt which just "isn't right". So after our grand trip to the Western Caribbean a couple of months ago which included a stop in Honduras where they had roughly 4 million coffee related gift shops he was in coffee lover's heaven. One of the shops in Roatán sold coffee jelly. The moment I saw it, I knew I'd be making it at home. How could I not?
I got home and started experimenting, beginning with my go-to pectin: Pomona's Universal Pectin. I use Pomona's for all the jams and jellies I make here during the summer and fall months. It has never failed me and so I expected it to perform like a treat here. I was beyond shocked when my first 4-cups-of-coffee batch failed to set. "No problem! It's coffee syrup!" I thought, and handed it out to friends as such. I increased the pectin in Batch 2, and had a slightly thicker syrup, but still no set! What the heck? Batches 3, 4, and 5 were made after consulting with their helpline, but still yielded a thick syrup that was most certainly not a jelly. At this point, I had blown through 14 cups of coffee (the last two batches having been smaller, experimental sized batches) and finally decided to throw a Hail Mary by using a box of my long-ago-abandoned SureJell. I went all in with another 4-cup batch (because SureJell doesn't lend itself to increasing or decreasing the batch size) and held my breath after removing the processed jars from the pot of hot water.
It was PERFECT. It had the ideal jelly texture and viscosity and was a sight to behold.
Upon reflection (and discussion with my sister who is also a devoted Pomona's user), I think the reason Pomona's failed here when it has never failed before is a quirky one. Pomona's gelling action is activated by a low sugar environment (which I used in my experiments) and the addition of calcium water. Coffee has been proven to leach calcium from bones (it's on the watch list of foods to avoid if you have osteoporosis) so my theory is that it prevents the calcium water from activating the pectin. Like I said… it's a theory, but it's the only reason I can think of that Pomona's wouldn't do the job it's so good at doing.
…And that is the story both of how SureJell found a small place on my shelves (next to the Pomona's) for one single use, and how I blew through a 32 ounce bag of my husband's coffee beans and he was relegated to eating a jar of Coffee Jelly for breakfast and was quite surly until I overnighted a new bag here the next day from Amazon. Ahem. Whoops. Sorry, honey.
Cook's Notes
- I'm going to go ahead and say it. SureJell is the best option for pectin here. Pomona's failed absolutely in every single variation I tried. I have not experimented with Dutch Gel, but that might work! Please let me know if you try it with that.
- Dont' get weirded out by the presence of lemon juice in the recipe. For starters, it's absolutely necessary to make this a safe item to can. The acidity is what prevents microbial growth in the jar, so it's not optional to omit it. Secondly, though, you really don't taste it. It does a good job of brightening the coffee flavour without being overtly lemony. (Besides this, there are nations in the world where serving lemon with coffee is pretty standard!)
- Don't be tempted to diminish the amount of sugar in the recipe. SureJell is designed to work with a specific range of sugar and this recipe was tested using exactly 5 1/2 cups of the sweet stuff. In order to make it lower sugar, you have to use a low-sugar pectin, and my experiments with that (specifically Pomona's) were abject failures. Think of this as a sweet treat.
- Are you wondering what to do with a batch of Coffee Jelly? Do you have coffee lovers in your life? Give them a jar for the holidays! Coffee Jelly is a great Christmas stocking stuffer! You can spread it on toast or do like my husband loves: spoon onto Simple French Toast then top with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder!
- This jelly is a great beginning canning project. If you need help with canning basics, SEE THIS PAGE.
Coffee Jelly
- 4 cups VERY strongly brewed coffee preferably a darker roast
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 5 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 box SureJell Pectin
Also needed:
- 5 to 6 jelly jars with new two-piece lids. 8 ounce
Stir the coffee and lemon juice together in a 4 quart saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and SureJell Pectin. Add the sugar to the boiling coffee mixture all at once, and whisk vigorously for 2 minutes, or until the pectin and sugar are fully dissolved into the solution. Return the mixture to a full rolling boil, and boil for exactly 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat, ladle into clean 8 ounce jars, wipe the rims with a damp paper towel, and screw on new, two-piece lids until fingertip tight.
Use the Boiling Water Bath method to process the jars for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer to a cooling rack or a tea towel on the counter and let cool, undisturbed, overnight. After the jars are cooled, remove the rings, wipe clean, and label. The jelly should be stored in a dark place -preferably a cool one- free of temperature fluctuations. It is best used within the year.

CR5520: P.E.C.K. - Designed by Ed Halligan
There's nothing like the real thing. The Original K.I.S.S.®, family is the revolutionary high-tech statement by Knifemakers' Guild member and K.I.S.S. designer "Daddy K.I.S.S." Ed Halligan. It stands for "Keep It Super Simple."
Delilah's P.E.C.K.® (or Precision Engineered Compact Knife) is Ed's baby, weighing less than 1 oz. and only 2.625 inches long when closed. Just think of it as a sweet little K.I.S.S. When open, the graceful 1.75" Razor-Sharp Wharncliffe blade is a high-performance cutting tool suited for hundreds of daily tasks.
A thumb stud is used to one-hand open the blade, and as the blade is fully rotated open, the frame lock snaps crisply in behind the blade to give a sound lockup. The blade can be closed with one hand, simply by releasing the frame lock.
The blade features a Wharncliffe grind on the front and flat on the backside—so that when the blade is closed onto its handle/frame, the precision fit effectively "seals" the cutting edge to the frame, even though it's exposed. Both blade and frame are 420J2 stainless steel in a fine bead-blast finish.
The design of the K.I.S.S. series pocket/money clip permits them to be used in a variety of ways: clipped to the pocket; as a money clip knife; and with split-ring or lanyard, as a key chain knife.
In the wake of the success of the K.I.S.S. and P.E.C.K., a flock of imitators has appeared; none offers the simple elegance of Ed Halligan's original design, and none offers the value of CRKT quality manufacturing. In fact, the more Ed's design is imitated, the better it looks.

Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj notoriously didn't get along throughout their one-season stint on "American Idol," and earlier this week she told an interviewer that her time on "Idol" "was like going to work every day in hell with Satan." Now, Carey's husband, Nick Cannon, is coming to her defense.
"I told you guys she hated it," Cannon tells Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on "Access Hollywood Live."
Cannon isn't surprised that his wife is speaking out against her short-lived reality TV home, but he does clarify that he doesn't think Carey was talking about anyone in particular in her comments.
"That's not a forum for the biggest superstar in the world, in my opinion," he says. "I don't even think it's about the people on the panel. If you pay attention to what she was saying, she said it's about when someone tells you something and paints a picture one way, and that's not the case."
In addition to the "Idol" comments, Cannon shares some adorable stories about his and Carey's twins. Watch the segment below:

Being realistic, it's not hard to see why Twentieth Century Fox is hesitant about making a Deadpool movie. While the project certainly has plenty of very passionate supporters, it does have some key issues, particularly the fact that it demands an R-rating and that most of the movie will have star Ryan Reynolds' face either hidden behind a mask or completely deformed by cancerous tumors and scars. We continue to play the waiting game as the studio decides whether or not the film would be worth an investment, but screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are still incredibly passionate about making it happen.
Speaking at press event for the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which they also scripted, the writing duo spoke with Coming Soon about the status of Deadpool, which, sadly still seems to be stuck in the development hell that it's been fighting in for the last few years. Calling it their "favorite script [they've] ever written," the biggest step forward that the project has taken over the last couple years is a bit of test footage that they were able to film with director Tim Miller. "He directed about a three-minute long test sequence from the movie, all built within a computer," Reese told the site. "Ryan Reynolds did the motion capture for it. He came in and did the voice for it in an audio session. It is awesome. It is the greatest three minutes." Added Wernick, "If we showed it to you right now, you would lose yourself." The duo also spoke to the R-rating that the project would surely receive - the movie is about a moral-less, psychotic, loud-mouth mercenary after all - and the confidence that they get whenever a film with a restricted rating does well at the box office, like Ted and Bridesmaids. One adult-oriented comic book movie that could very well open the doors, however, is Kick-Ass 2, which will be in theaters this August. Said Wernick, "We're hoping Kick-Ass 2 does great because that could open people's eyes to the audience that an R-rated comic book movie can bring in." As torturous as the wait for Deadpool has been, we can all at least be happy that Fox isn't trying to destroy the integrity of the project by censoring it and making it PG-13. It's nice to know that if the movie actually ever gets made it will get made right. But just when that will happen is still a complete mystery.

Lights out
The White House and its principal occupant took some well-deserved lumps this week after a large number of Americans learned that, contrary to the president's repeated assurances, they would NOT be allowed to keep their current health coverage under the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. It's now pretty clear that the president and his policy wonks knew this would be the case as long as three years ago. Clearly realizing he'd been caught with his pants down, Obama on Thursday issued a blanket "I'm sorry" to the nation.
To be fair, though, Obama's stretcher is simply one of many that have been thrown around regarding the act. The vast majority of these have come from public officials and major players in the current GOP. And Obama's apology for his misstatements provokes an idle wonderment as to whether we'll hear any similar forms of contrition from his opponents.
I'm not holding my breath.

Parshah Links, Books and Goodies
4 comments:
Thanks for the links!
I like My First Parsha Reader and have used it with 4 kids so far. Its mostly good, but needs a lot of supplementing, both explanation-wise and interpreting into modern English and sometimes, into modern viewpoints.
I'll put in a plug here for my own weekly parsha poems as well. Mostly for kids a bit older, but younger kids like rhymes, even if they don't understand. :-)
Mine aren't meant to be comprehensive, just to illustrate one idea from the parsha.
http://ronypony.blogspot.com/search/label/parshaI go according to the weekly Parshah- so come Friday night and Shabbat day, we show off our projects and ask questions and discuss that weeks Parshah at the Shabbat table... it works for us:) and the more complex Parshahs, I will usually just take one idea from that Parshah that the kids can understand and dwell on it~

Energy is a basic necessity for survival and an essential component of economic and social development. However, over 70% of rural Namibians still live without electricity, and as a result are dependent upon costly and dangerous candles for lighting and open fires for cooking. In addition to being expensive, candles provide woman inefficient light with which to carry out household duties or help children study. Women also spend hours each week collecting wood for cooking.
Through the Women's Energy Project (WE Project), women are empowered as village sales representatives, allowing them to distribute safe, clean and money-saving energy technologies-such as solar-powered lanterns, cell phone chargers, and fuel-efficient cookstoves-directly to their neighbors. This women-centered, village-based sales model enables greater energy access in remote communities and generates income for rural saleswomen, empowering them to improve life in their communities.
The WE Project provides women with the tools necessary to create economic opportunities, allowing them to help their families rise out of poverty. By distributing lights through a sustainable business rather than handing them out, the WE Project ensures that women and their communities will benefit from the project for years to come. Current WE Project participants tell us that many of their daily tasks have been made easier, safer and more efficient thanks to affordable energy technologies.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).

Old Republican white men know what's going on in the world
Unfortunately, as honest as Pew is when it comes to the reports it commissions, politically correct acts of omission are far more common than they should be, if imparting honest information to its readers is truly Pew's primary motivation. Consequently, these quizzes never provide demographic data by race or ethnicity, the categories being limited to sex, age range, educational attainment, and partisan affiliation.
In the official report accompanying the latest survey results released a few days ago, the sex category has been scrubbed as well. When something becomes as depressingly mundane as the fact that men are better informed on current events than women are, it's past time to stop talking about it.
However, sex differences are still available at the political quiz index page that is accessible once a user has completed the quiz. Same old, same old, of course--men averaged 8.5 correct answers, while women answered 6.8 questions correctly on average. Even on the item asking quiz takers to identify a picture of Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor, men outperformed women, although only by a 6 point margin, the narrowest of the 13 questions. The widest sex gap, of 21 points, was on the question about the number of US military fatalities that have occurred in Afghanistan. It involves war, Asia, and numbers--so no surprise there.
The second consistency remains in clear view, however. Take a minute to complete the quiz yourself. Per usual, I scored a perfect 13 of 13 because for someone who follows the news, it's not a difficult thing to do. Yet the average American missed 5 or 6 of them. Most people simply don't pay much attention to what takes place outside of their own personal lives beyond some degree of exposure to various forms of popular entertainment.
As those things are blase, let's consider another aspect of the results that inexplicably don't ever garner media attention, even though they are a lot less threatening to the egalitarian zeitgeist than racial or sex disparities are, since they involve propositional categories. That is, they are not fixed, so with more education and greater awareness, this gap can be closed! The aspect at issue here is partisan affiliation (see p5). On every question posed (including the one asking participants to identify Hillary Clinton by photo that should presumably be skewed in the Democrats' favor), Republicans outscored Democrats, by double-digit margins on a majority of them.
Race presumably accounts for much of the Republican advantage, which is why it would be more interesting to see a partisan breakdown among whites alone. As perverse as it is, in this facet of the status-mongering game, conservatives have a vested interest in ignoring HBD. Because NAMs identify by overwhelming margins more with the Democratic party more than they do with the GOP, measures of knowledge, behavior, and life outcomes inevitably cast Republicans in a better light than they do Democrats.
Finally, take a gander at the results by age range (p6). The online version of the quiz only includes 13 of the 19 items administered in the official survey, but of the full 19, younger people outscored their elders on only two: The ability to correctly identify the crescent star as being associated with Islam and the capability to point out Brazil on a map of South America. In our ever diversifying future, though, these two items are of greater importance than the rest, like who the secretary of state is, what percentage of Americans are unemployed, or where the DJIA is!
* Which, in my case, simply consists of listening to the top of the hour news updates on one of the local AM talk stations or NPR at some point during the day--that limited amount of effort is sufficient to ace these quizzes.

I may be able to identify Sotomayor's picture, but if the quiz were oral, I would be prone to over-Anglicization of her name due to brainwashing from my own radio news source (not naming any names).

I took the political quiz, and got a perfect score. You're right; the quiz is easy.
A friend referred me to this blog because I announced on my blog that I just started some research into the concept (and controversy) of intelligence. Nature vs Nurture, cultural bias of tests, etc.
I am grateful that you have compiled so much information here.
I read The Bell Curve and Mismeasure of Man, but that is the extent of my reading on the subject so far. - 11/13/11, 5:18 PM

Thanks for dropping by. I highly recommend my blogroll as well, especially Steve Sailer. - 11/13/11, 7:50 PM
It is worth pointing out that women are often more informed about local news. The husband is more likely to know the names of more Supreme Court justices, and the wife is more likely to know what city council is talking about next week. - 11/13/11, 10:12 PM
There were big age and education gaps in knowledge of the official unemployment rate. I figure that the young and non-college guessed too high because the situation is worse for them.
How the heck do more people know what Sotomayor **looks like** than the party split in Congress?
I would be curious to know what percentage of Christian Zionists could not identify Israel on a map. Based on my personal experience, I would say that it is non-trivial, to put it mildly. - 11/14/11, 8:18 AM

I'm astonished that 40% of college graduates did not know the crescent was affiliated with Islam.
Well, I'm a card-carrying white male liberal and I scored 13 of 13 right. The questions were absurdly easy, so I don't really congratulate myself on getting a perfect score. Had the poll asked more nuanced questions about various financial or political topics I'm sure I would have done rather more poorly.
When I'm at a magazine stand at the train station I'm amazed at how many publications there are devoted to celebrites. Most of the readers appear to women, and I would ask, if you can know so much about the private life of [Brad Pitt, or fill in the blank] can't you figure out who runs Congress? - 11/14/11, 8:56 AM

I got 12/13 ... and, entertainingly, it was last one, the Republican symbol, I got wrong (I chose 'Democrat', for some reason). I'm a middle-aged, middle-class, white, social democratic Englishman, but I have lived here for two years now, so I should be acquainted with the issues, I suppose.
Wait ... so all those saps watching Faux News actually have a better grasp of reality than the average Democrat? How is that even possible?
(Yes, I'm being sarcastic) - 11/14/11, 1:41 PM
- Audacious Epigone said...
Is Sotomayor celebrated as a successful woman on Oprah-like shows? Maybe that has something to do with it.
They are probably older college graduates, who came of age before Islam was worth thinking about.
When it comes to women with regards to knowing about the private lives of entertainment figures, it's in part because they see in celebrities themselves and the people they are close to. Majorities in Congress just aren't intimate enough (even if that intimacy is vicarious).
You did better than 90+% of people who've lived here for their entire lives. That's nothing to be ashamed of! - 11/14/11, 2:19 PM
I was amazed that over half of the respondents didn't know in which branch(es) of congress the republicans held a majority. Maybe sickened more than amazed. The US government really wasn't set for democracy, was it?

Anon #3,
It was until the great post-1965 inundation. - 11/17/11, 7:03 AM
I scored 8 (better than 53% of voters), and I live in Canada with French being my first language...
Stereotypes about the average American are unfortunately true...

Mohawk inks license with Puerto Rican designer
March 15, 2004
,In an attempt to tap the country's growing Hispanic customer base, Mohawk Home recently forged a licensing partnership with Puerto Rican designer Rosabel Paraliticci, with the initial line launching later this month during the New York Home Textiles Market.
"There is little design in the marketplace, particularly in home textiles, that truly captures the spirit and responds to the lifestyle of the growing Hispanic population," said Merle Johnson, vice-president of marketing, Mohawk Home.
Paraliticci was born in Spain and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
"I love to blend colors, textures, forms and patterns, and I never underestimate the materials that I use," Paraliticci said. "Part of the challenge for me as a designer is to find beauty in objects that may appear nondescript to others and to transform them into unique and interesting products."
She said she understands the Hispanic customer and has employed this knowledge in her collection for Mohawk Home.
"Hispanic women have the first and last word when it comes to home décor. We are colorful, expressive, warm and romantic, and we want our surroundings to reflect who we are," said Paraliticci.
"I know the Hispanic woman of today as a woman who is proud and fond of her traditions, yet embraces change — a woman with the knowledge and respect of her past culture and heritage, yet with the savvy of the new world order," she added.

Emergency Room X-ray TechnicianBaylor University Medical Center of Dallas
"With my degree in Radiological Sciences from Brookhaven, I can pretty much do anything. The volume is really high where I work in the emergency room at Baylor, so if I went to a smaller place I'd really be rocking it in terms of what I'd be able to handle.
"What do I like about what I do? I have to convince people to do what they don't want to do, and there's where my psychology degree comes in. I don't want to miss something, and there's satisfaction with getting the cooperation from people who are in a difficult situation. To really like and be good at this job, you need to be somebody who loves to work with people. We don't work with blood per se, but you shouldn't be afraid of the sight of blood. There are lots of things that are technically nurses' or aides' jobs that we have to pick up slack on because they just need to be done.
"Doctors don't want to hear that anything is impossible; we have to do what it takes to get the job done — and sometimes that feels like it takes X-ray vision ourselves.
"My advice to someone who wants to enter Rad Sci or MRI as a career? Don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't understand something. Read, read and read some more before you start the program. Go to a hospital and check out the area you think you're interested in to see if you really like it. It's obviously good money, but don't think about that if you want to do this as a career.
"I'm getting certified in MRI because I don't want to be in the ER forever. I want something different: less volume of patients and a more laid-back atmosphere."
Ayoola Sosanya attended classes at Richland College and earned an associate degree in Radiologic Technology from Brookhaven College before entering the one-year certificate program at El Centro College with plans to graduate in May 2010. He also earned a bachelor's degree in radiologic sciences from Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls and earned a bachelor's degree in his native Nigeria from Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, formerly the University of Ife. Sosanya, who grew up in London, is credentialed as a radiologic technologist through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

A man yesterday stole some meat from Wally's Carry Out, 561 East Broadway in East Toledo, and then went back, threatened a clerk with a broomstick, and took a large sum of money from the cash register before fleeing for good, police said.
The first time, the man walked into the store about 7:25 a.m., stole some meat and fled, but not before the clerk took a good look at him. She promptly called police and the incident was reported as a shoplifting. All police units were busy at that time and none could be spared for what's a low-priority call, Toledo police Sgt. Richard Murphy said.
About 7:43 a.m., the man returned, pulled a broomstick out of his pants, and threatened the clerk, who recognized him. She ran next door and called police. They responded within three minutes. A large sum of money was found missing from the register, Sergeant Murphy said.
The man, who is believed to be from the neighborhood, was still at large last night, the sergeant said.
