I have been professionally engaged in science, technology and engineering for over 40 years, and my primary focus remains the solving of problems and the creation of wealth through the application of new technologies and business solutions.
During my life I have had the good fortune to work with exceptional people in governments, companies and major international operations, but the icing on the cake has been the creation and management of teams up to 2500 people with budgets in excess of £1Bn, and my senior roles as CTO, CEO and Director in the UK and USA.
At the same time I have also been a visiting professor, advisor, and external examiner to major universities in the EU and USA, and continue to be actively engaged as a consultant, advisor, speaker and mentor with investment interests in start up companies. But that is not all....

I have really enjoyed working with Good Cook and getting to participate in their challenges and using their products. If you are anything like me, you get rather excited about kitchen gadgets, and trust me, Good Cook has some great ones. Starting on June 1, you will be able to build your kitchen drawer with 15 Good Cook tools and gadgets from goodcook.com, all you have to do is choose up to 15 items from the official list of products, and you might just win what you choose! If you are a bit suck on what to choose, you can always choose the same tools and gadgets that I did or any of the other participating bloggers…more info will be provided when the contest begins.
From June 2 – June 7th, Good Cook is hosting a 5-day product giveaway on their Facebook page, plus there will be instant winners. For each drawer that you build, you have a chance to be an instant winner and you can enter once daily for more chances!Read more:
Wondering which products are available? Look for the "ADD ME" icon below on the Good Cook website! Additionally, during this contest, all items on GoodCook.com are 25% off – there is no code needed…just head on over and start shopping. The "Build Your Kitchen Drawer" Contest will run from June 2nd – July 14th.
To begin this awesome "Build Your Kitchen Drawer" event bloggers were given five tools/gadgets to work with and create a one-pot meal with. We had to use at least two of the five tools provided us and create a delicious dish…not too hard right? Ha, I beg to differ…I got stuck on "one-pot meal", thinking to myself "I could make a soup", "Nah, its spring time", or "chili…that's always a one-pot meal", "No, I don't really want chili right now either". So my next thought was fried rice, because, you know me, I LOVE Asian food, but when walking through the grocery store I came across this mix of mushrooms; it had baby bellas, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, and decided to make a spring risotto with mushrooms and green onions, and of course some white wine. There are so many "one-pot" meals, and this one can be used as an entrée or as a side dish…you can even bake it, or roll them into balls and make fried risotto balls – endless possibilities!
The five items that we were provided are SMART Ice Cream Scoop, Flip Measuring Spoon, Safe-Cut Can Opener, Egg Separator, and the Pot Clip Holder. All of these products are great – I did not use all of them to make this dish but I did try to test them out at least once so I could share them with you. The only item I did not use for this recipe was the Safe-cut Can Opener, but let's start with the items I used…
- SMART Ice Cream Scoop – LOVE this ice cream scoop…it has a split back to help release the contents, and can be used for many different things such as scooping the risotto out of the pan into my bowl, mashed potatoes, and obviously ice cream, you can read more about the SMART Scoop here – (hand wash only).
- Flip Measuring Spoon – this is perfect for people who do not want a cluttered drawer, or are just starting out, it is four measuring spoons in 1, it doesn't get much better than that. I used this to measure out the red pepper flakes and salt for the recipe below, you can read more about it here.
- Egg Separator – is a pretty handy tool especially if you need only to use the egg whites or yolks in a recipe – I did not NEED to use that for this recipe, but I tested it out anyway…it just makes life a little easier, read more about it here.
- Pot Clip Holder – How I have lived with out this, I'm not sure just yet. This is the perfect little kitchen gadget that I think everyone should own, maybe even several of them. This helps keep your stove top and counters nice and clean. It clips on to the side of the pot and holds your spoon when you aren't using it. Read more about it here.
- Safe-cut Can Opener – The one and only item I did not use, only because I had no can to open, but this can opener, as its name states is a "safe-cut" which means it leaves no sharp edges to get injured on! So this tool is perfect for having your younger ones help out in the kitchen, you can read more about it here.
Spring Time Mushroom Risotto
- Olive Oil 1 tablespoon
- Butter 1 tablespoon
- Scallions, sliced 1/4 cup
- Mushrooms, sliced 1 cup
- Red Pepper Flakes 1/4-1/2 teaspoon
- Salt, Kosher 1/4 teaspoon
- Arborio Rice 1 cup
- White Wine 1/2 cup
- Chicken Stock, low sodium 4 cups
- Egg, whole 1 large
- Parmesan Cheese, grated 1/4 cup
Method of Preparation:
- Gather all ingredients and equipment.
- In a small stock pot add four cups of chicken stock and heat over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer
- In a large, heavy bottom skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Add sliced scallions and saute for 1 minute.
- Add mushrooms, and cook for an addition 2 minutes.
- Add white wine and cook for an additional minute.
- Season with salt and pepper
- If the pan is a little dry add an additional teaspoon of either oil or butter, then add the rice and stir to evenly coat.
- Stir in 1 cup of stock – just enough to cover the rice.
- Stir well and continue to stir until the rice has almost completely absorbed the stock.
- Continue this process until all stock has been added to rice and absorbed. This should take about 20-30 minutes.
- Push the risotto to the outer edges of the pan and add the egg.
- Fry egg, and carefully flip over to not break the yolk – you want it to be runny over the risotto when plating.
- Gently remove the egg and set aside.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.
- To serve top with fried egg and sliced scallions.
Chef Notes:You can use any short grain rice instead of the arborio rice, as risotto is a style of cooking, not a type of rice.

Aldoska is a mother of 3 kids, lives with her husband and her two sons in a small village in Czech Republic, Europe. She is happily married and the family is always on the first place in her life. She works as a teacher in special class for children with mental disabilities. Get a coffee and enjoy the interview …
1. How did you first get started with cake decorating?
In our family my grandma and later my mum used to bake cakes on every occasion, but they have always focused more on the taste than on the cake look. Decorations were simple, usually just a buttercream border. When I got married, I've continued baking the same cakes for my family. Around 6 years ago my sister-in-law asked me to bake two wedding cakes for my niece´s wedding. I don't know why she asked me, because all I ever baked were simple cakes that always looked like a bicycle wheel :). Fortunately, short time before someone sent me some photos of beautiful cakes and I had the courage (or was bold enough) to promise that I would do that. I wanted to do something similar as on the photos, so I searched for the cake decorating information and tutorials and without any previous experience I started to bake. Oddly enough, it was a success … all wedding guests liked the cakes very much. And this was the beginning.
2. Why did you decide to decorate cakes?
Actually, I didn't decide to decorate cakes … As you know already, I was asked to make my first more difficult cake. I was not about to make cake decorating to be my hobby indeed, but you know that – it catches you and won't let you go. Now I can't even imagine my life without cakes. I'm either making them or at least talking about them :). It consumes much of my free time. Sometimes it happens that I bake cakes and decorate them in my dreams.
3. Are there any things you do differently now than when you first started decorating?
Definitely. My beginnings and the present can't be compared. During the 6 years I've been decorating cakes, I've improved in procedures and learnt to use many new decorating tools and materials. When I was decorating my first cakes, I only used home-made materials and I didn't have any tools, just my hands. It would be probably the same in the present, if there wouldn't be an internet – I could find information needed for decorating cakes, learn decorating techniques following video tutorials, discuss my procedures with other cake decorators and buy lots of amazing tools in cake decorating e-shops.
4. What has been your greatest challenge?
My biggest problem is the time. I have very demanding job and I only bake cakes in my free time. Making a cake requires not only skills, patience, but also enough time. The work on a cake from preparation of dough to the final adjustments takes me around 10-25 hours depending on decoration difficulty. It's exactly like Peggy said in the previous interview: we're really special breed – to make cakes we can stay up until wee hours of the morning and then still manage to function during the day, as if we were sleeping well whole night long.
5. What is the most rewarding part of cake decorating?
I am always happy if I can use my own designs. Fine ornaments and flowers are my favorite ones. Drawing the layout on the paper is the part I like the most, because I'm visualizing the final look of a cake. And I always take delight in the final product, if it looks great. On the other hand, I don't like to do cars and 3D machines and I really hate to do a cake as the exact copy from the photo.
6. What are your favorite cake decorating tools?
I felt in love with Sugar Artistry cutters. They have nice shapes, they are elegant and help me make beautiful decorations. However, I am almost in the same love with my two cupboards full of amazing and very necessary baking tools. :)
7. Which one of your cakes is your favorite?
It is difficult to answer this question. During the 6 years of baking and decorating cakes, I've made around 450 cakes. It's not easy to choose the best one. However my most favorite are wedding cakes, but I can't choose the most favorite one.
Aldoska's Wedding Cakes:
8. Could you give some tips to people who have just started decorating cakes or would love to start?
First of all I would like to advice to not be discouraged by of potential failure. Nobody can learn everything right away, it's important to be patient. Decorating matters have an incredible advantage – you can reuse it even If your decoration is failure, or the worst case you can eat it :). As I have already said at the beginning, you can learn a lot from cake decorating websites, me myself have gained most of my skills this way.
9. How did you find CakesDecor.com and what is it that keeps you coming back?
Peggy(Peggy Does Cake) invited me to CakesDecor, we know each other from the CakeCentral. I felt in love with CD immediately. Website is well organized, easy to navigate and I keep meeting very pleasant people here. I'm sorry that I don't speak English very well and it's difficult for me to overcome the language barrier. But I'm not giving up and I try to improve my language skills.
10. What's been the biggest surprise in all of this for you?
The biggest surprise for me was to see the huge popularity of my Winter cake . It's very pleasant, I appreciate it very much and I would like to thank all of you, who liked it.
11. Is there anything you would like to add?
Last but not least I would like to thank Michal for the existence of this website and for his approach – I really would not do without him helping me communicating in English, his witty replies and open-mindedness..
Thank you Alena for your time and answering our interview questions.

I'm frequently reminded that I'm difficult to buy gifts for. My wife explains to me how easy it is to buy for women and she's refusing to fill my drawers with even more t-shirts. I disagree. Guys are easy to buy for, but when it comes to gifts for the home, things get a little more dicey.
Any guy that has a woman in his house may have to defer to the lady when it comes to what elements are seen in the home. That is if they want to keep the piece under their roof. However, in the holiday spirit I'm offering up some simple home-related gift options for those looking to give a little something different to guy in their home this year.
1. For the Sports Guy Air Jordan Stockings ($45 from 2ampprojects)
2. For the Fan Boy – Star Wars Feel the Force Self-Stirring Mug ($25 at Amazon.com)
3. For the Chef – Skull Shaped Egg Mold ($10 on Amazon.com)
4. For the Holiday Fanatic – Santa Toilet Seat & Rug Set ($15 on Amazon.com)
5. For the Traveler – Bedside Phone Shelf ($16 on Amazon.com)
6. For the Comic Book Geek – Thor Hammer Light ($48 on Amazon.com)
7. For the Guy Who Has Everything and a Pool/Lake – 14 ft. Iceberg ($6,050 on Amazon.com)

FBI: Customers Might Sue If They Knew Companies Were Helping With Wiretaps
from the uh...-isn't-that-the-point? dept
"Specifically, these businesses would be substantially harmed if their customers knew that they were furnishing information to the FBI. The stigma of working with the FBI would cause customers to cancel the companies' services and file civil actions to prevent further disclosure of subscriber info."Yes, that's the FBI saying that it shouldn't be forced to say who's violating their rights, because people might get upset that their rights are being violated and sue. And that's bad for business. This is a justification for secretly spying on people without a warrant? That people would get upset and sue? Once again, the feds seem to be arguing that the law should be whatever is most convenient for them, rather than about what most protects the rights of citizens against over-intrusive behavior by the government.

Working with Audio and Video
Video recording in the classroom
If you are interested in taping a lecture, a guest speaker, student presentations, etc... please complete the Video Recording Request Form. It is important that you specifiy how you want the recording to be used. Some faculty want recordings on DVDs or CDs, others want them to be available within their eLearning course spaces, and sometimes faculty want both. We need to know how you plan to use the video so that TV Services and the CITE lab are able to ensure the content is in the format that you need.
Video and eLearning
We are looking to move custom video content off our servers and on to personal YouTube channels. We are moving content because of the accessibility of YouTube. The move to YouTube essentially allows the content creator (you!) to reserve rights to content and allows the creator (again, you!) to manage your content on your own time. One of the main benefits of YouTube is the automatic transcription and captioning process that can be applied to every video with recognizable speech. We are only doing this for content that you have created for your classes. All copyrighted content (DVDs, VHS, ect.) will still be produced by the CITE Lab and hosted by us.
If you do want to use video files within an eLearning course space the CITE lab will assist in creating and managing a YouTube Channel. For more information about uploading YouTube you can read the help guide provides YouTube Help
Captioning Video
If you will be using audio or video components you'll need to be mindful of the accessibility of the content. Below are some excellent links to information on captioning and descriptive audio (from the WebAIM Discussion List):
In November 2009 Google and YouTube announced an new captioning service!
- WebAIM - Web Captioning Overview
- JW FLV Player (A Flash based player that scores incredibly high marks for accessibility supporting Closed Captions *AND* descriptive audio)
- Easy YouTube Player
- Google Suggested Captioning Services
Adding audio to your eLearning course space
Faculty and students are able to easily include audio files into their eLearning course spaces through the use of iTunes U and Voicethread. These tools include a built-in audio recorder (no need to record then upload, VoiceThread does it in one step!), voice discussion board (where students can respond to an audio prompt or question), and a podcasting application.
Not sure how or why you might want to include audio? Here are some ideas to consider:
- Ask a guest speaker or colleague to record a personal story or experience
- Develop an audio case study
- Create a mobile audio tour of a local museum or historical site or ask your students to create their own!
- Upload pre quiz reviews prior to exams
- Have students record responses to pronunciation exercises
- Develop a voice discussion board so students can respond verbally to questions
- Create personal audio reflection journals
- Give students a mid-semester pep-talk or remind them of course expectations
Working with PowerPoint Files
Many instructors upload PowerPoint presentations to their eLearning course spaces. However, not all students have PowerPoint (though a viewer is available) and some have difficulty accessing the files due to file size (if you have a dial-up connection, downloading a 2MB PowerPoint file takes a long time...)
There are two strategies that we recommend to make it easier for your students to access your PowerPoint files:
Create PDF files from your PowerPoints formatted as handouts
Creating your PowerPoint presentations as Portable Document Format (PDF) handouts will provide your students the ability to easily print your presentations, reduce file downloading waiting time from the web, and help conserve resources. In order to create PDF files you will need a PDF creation program.
Format your PowerPoints as Impatica files
Impatica compresses your presentations into Macromedia Flash files and makes them easily accessible for students. The PowerPoint viewer is not required in order to access the files and the files are also much smaller and accessible for students. This software is available in the CITE lab.
Format your PowerPoints as Flash Files
This is something you can do yourself and it turns your PowerPoints into the same type of file that Impatica does. iSpring offers a FREE PowerPoint plug-in that will allow you to easily create and publish your own Flash movies. Then you can upload them directly into your eLearning course space. This is a new tool and really makes things easy for you!
Creating Interactive Tutorials
Camtasia is the tool that the CITE lab uses to create our own "how-to" tutorials. You can record the entire desktop, a specific window or just a portion of your screen and add audio while you record or add it later. You can also add captions for users with disabilities, call-outs, title screens, and more! For an example of how Camtasia can be used see the Bookstore Order Tutorial.
The makers of Camtasia have created a "Camtasia-lite" version called Jing that is available for use via the internet. Jing doesn't have the bells and whistles of Camtasia (and none of the built-in accessibility features) but it's a great way to get started creating simple screencasts.
CamStudio is a full featured screen capturing software that is completely free published under the GNU General Public License. It contains most of the features Camtasia and Jing offer, along with a very simple interface that is friendly to the average beginner user.
It is important that eLearning course spaces and the content contained within are accessible to students with disabilities. Learn more about accessibility and how to ensure you are providing content that can be accessed by students with alternative learning styles.
Conversion of Media Formats
Many faculty show snippets of VHS tapes in the classroom. Since many classrooms no longer have VHS players the CITE lab can assist faculty with converting analog VHS tapes to digital DVDs. We can also assist with other types of file conversion including filmstrip to DVD, overhead projector transparencies to image files (for use in PowerPoint or as stand-alone files), and slides and negatives to digital images. We'll even help you move files on old floppy disks to newer media formats. Contact the CITE lab for more information.
Copyright Considerations
As you prepare to utilize materials in your face-to-face or online courses it is important to make sure that you adhere to copyright and intellectual property guidelines as specified by Fair Use, the TEACH Act, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other applicable laws.
A great place to start is to view Copyright on Campus - a video created by the Copyright Clearance Center.
Below are a number of helpful links dealing with copyright issues:
- The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education
- Copyright and Fair Use Guidelines for Teachers
- Understanding the TEACH Act
- Crash Course in Copyright
- An Introduction to Fair Use
- Is it protected by Copyright? Try the digital slider and find out!
- Can I tape a program off the TV and use it in the classroom?
- The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance
- Creative Commons
- Fair Use in Academic and Research Libraries
- Managing Fair Use on Campus: The Online Academic Administrator's Dilemma
You can also view a video created by Cindy Poore-Pariseau to learn about copyright and disabilities.
If you have questions about Copyright contact your Divisional library liaison.
Contact the CITE lab
If you have additional questions or would like one-on-one assistance with any of the technologies mentioned above please contact the Center for Instructional Technology Expertise (CITE) by calling (508) 678-2811 x2081. You are welcome to schedule an appointment or you can drop in to A201 on the Fall River campus during our regularly scheduled hours.

JoeStoppable: 8.5/10. Its width is a bit off-limit, but everything else is okay.
hobbs: ...simple, eh? It is indeed simple. For that, I give that signature 9/10.
WaterSideAngel: umm... among a few non-anime signatures I have seen at this forum. Don't really like the colour you used for the fonts, though. 8/10
Azulet & Thany: MOE!!! Your signatures are too cute my eyes go *_* whenever I see them. 10/10
p/s: Thany, many thanks for the source of the signature. ^_^

The Feral Cat!
hobbs Nice clean and simple sig. 9/10
JoeStoppable Cute girl with a big gun. The border color could have been better if you used a different color but it's cool anyways. 9/10
USB500 Another cool simple sig. I really like the background and the text you used. 9/10
For those of you wondering who the guy in my sig is, his name is Walter C. Ddollneazz (still don't know if it's spelled right) from Hellsing. The pic is just a fanart of him in his younger days. Here is the source if anyone would like to see if.

USB500 9/10 - I like smudge/griddy background, it goes with Madlax theme.
Shin Kell 9/10 - Nice simple background that goes with well with the dude in the suit.
I also like the font you used and the color too.
ChibiDusk 7/10 - Looks a bit odd since the orginal picture was vertical.
hobbs 7/10 - It's good but maybe you can a background to it.
mxg 6/10 - Err, its way too big imo and the characters looked warped/stretched.
Try to use a different font and color.
Edit: Mxg, much better now the font is way much better. 7.5/10 instead of 6/10

Shin Kell - nice border and font. 8.5/10.
mxg - a better picture of akuma and a border would make it look better. 7/10.
Sushi-Y - nice sig but i don't like the font size and font type. bacground is nice though. 8/10.

for Thany, here's my source.
I feel so weird showing the source, now you know how much (or little) I had to manipulate for the sig! haha. I love your source pic. Thanks.
WaterSideAngel: I like it a lot better, taking out one of the two girls now gives us a more balanced sig. I agree that it kind of matches, but I still say try a border. hehe. you don't have to edit any sig unless you want to, though. I'm just saying, for your next sig. I look forward to some of your CG art, too!
Hobbs: so you never posted the other one? oh well, I still like it. 9/10
JoeStoppable: I agree that the border could be better, maybe thinner or a different color (it doesn't really match your pic or your name). but the pic rocks! 9/10
ChibiDusk: Don't remember if I rated this or not. I like it but I can't figure out what the person is exposing...stomach? It looks confusing. Pic quality is great and I love the border and name. 10/10
Mxg: Good luck with photoshop! I remember when I first tried to work with it...so frustrating. But you'll get the hang of it. I suggest looking through photoshop tips and suggestions pages. I think your pic source is cool but the font can be more interesting. and add a border (man, I tell this to everyone...) 8/10
Sushi-Y: Welcome to the board (you're new, right?) I love the border but I think it should match the main pic more. That's a really cute pic. My other suggestion is to make your name's font a bit bigger. 8/10
Abicion: Hm...image needs more clarity. and a border.
Rodney: I really like your old one, the sharp contrast of colors and the clear image really captured my eyes. but the new one looks cool as well, just less color. old one 10/10, new one 9/10.

Jojo Star = You Two girls in wet tight clothing and you're supposed to impress me with that? No. First off the girls are missing nipples! Last time I checked, females of the human race tend to have nipples sticking out in wet see through clothing. What kind of fake erotic trick are you trying to pull? Secondly the girl on the left seems to have her boobs attached together. What the hell is that? Attached boobs?
What's worse! You have a caption that says "For Asenko" Who the hell is Asenko? I assume you meant "For Aahhsin", but I'm rather sick of people spelling my name wrong. Hell I don't even have a K in my name!
Azulet = What the hell is this? A sideways girl? Last time I seen a blizzard blowing someone away I was laughing at him. This one she looks happy. What kind of stupid shit is that? If you're getting blown away by a blizzard, I'll assume you'll be in a state of terror. Not happy. Reminds me too much of the Matchstick Girl by Hans Christian Anderson. I hate that story. What's worse your name is missing, I looked all over your signature and I still see no Name. I don't think your name is Let it Snow, heck there's no A in there. Advertising for Firefox? That's not cool.
By the way, you really need to customize this signature some more, and your over the limit on the KB.
I think I'll let my judgement give this signature an

JoeStoppable = Wow this is THE WORST BORDER ATTEMPT EVER! All four sides aren't even the same thickness! Sure you can have a different size for the 4 borders, but it doesn't look good here. If you want to do that, make sure it's so noticable that it's laughable. Not like this. The pink needs something too. Like flowers on the corner or something. Your font is good, BUT your E is chopped off.
I mean c'mon that sticks out like a sore thumb. And with my sore thumb, I'm going to stamp this signature with a nice fat

You get a 8/10 because the girl in your pic looks cute yet evil at the same time. I would give you a 9/10 but it's a bit big, imho. What anime/game is she from? I 've seen her quite often on the forums but I never did figure it out.
Oh yeah, don't mind aahhsin he's always like that for as long I as can remember.

New Hampshire Sheep and Wool and... Knitalong!
Sunday Chris and I drove up to New Hampshire, where, like last year, we parked along the highway in a "Park and Ride" lot and biked the 14 miles to the Hopkinton Fairgrounds for the Sheep and Wool festival (Chris likes to get photos while biking like the one above). The day was perfect... I delivered my small chocolate brown fleece (the random gift discussed a few weeks ago) to the Zeilinger Wool Co., who will process it and send me the roving in a few months. Hooray! Look how nice the Zeilinger lady was.
We ate buffalo cheesesteak sandwiches, lay in the sun and watched the sheepdogs (in another life we have sheepdogs instead of huge white lazy indoor cats), and did a little shopping. Okay, I ended up with a lot of yarn, but from only two booths! I was very focused! I even avoided blatant Grellow yarns, lovely ones!
That's 13 skeins of worsted weight creme-colored merino from Greenwood Hill Farm, producers of the very best merino I have ever used, one skein of their DK weight 2-ply in silver, and 5 skeins of 2-ply worsted from Zeilinger Wool Co. that was on sale for $1 an ounce. I have plans to make myself a warm wooly cardigan out of those skeins. The pattern in the middle is also from Greenwood Hill.
And I HAVE been knitting stuff. For instance... Here's progress on Chris' Lochinver from Fishermen's Sweaters. A brown tube of slightly varried textures. Not thrilling to view, but fun to knit.
Hannah and I have started a knitalong, a two-person knitalong, making a mitered dishcloth each from Sugar & Creme SELF STRIPING cotton. We did not know of its existence until Saturday's trip to JoAnn fabrics and Savers. Neither of us has knit a miter. It's TIME.
Savers? It was good, really good. Hannah has organized photos. I, as yet, do not. I do have this one, however:

Recipe: Homemade Potato Chips with Rosemary
When I was little, my dad and I spent Sunday mornings on the Santa Monica beach. Before heading home we'd sometime hike up to the pier and buy a newspaper cone of freshly made potato chips from a little stand there and share them on the ride home. They were warm, and slightly soft in the middle, just out of the fryer.
While it's not exactly realistic to fry up your own chips every time you get the munchies, a bowl of freshly fried, thinly spliced spuds is a great thing to serve with drinks to a peckish crowd before dinner.
You need a mandoline. We talk a lot about mandolines here on the site — here's a post with a nice string of comments — so if you haven't gotten one yet, and these chips appeal, maybe now's the time. Otherwise you'll probably get pretty frustrated when you try to slice the potatoes evenly.
This is not a neat and tidy project, nor is it the safest; wear an apron and keep the kids away. You need oil with a high smoking point, meaning oil that can get very hot before it starts burning. Peanut oil and safflower oil both work well because they have a neutral flavor.
When they're still hot, I sprinkle on some rosemary because it's a great complement to potatoes, but flavor them however you'd like: other herbs, no herbs grated hard cheeses like Parmesan, or dry spices. You get the picture.
I have not provided amounts in the recipe because potato sizes vary so dramatically, and slicing thickness also varies enough to alter yields. For me, for each pound of potatoes, I get the equivalent yield of the contents of an average bag (not individual-size bag, not extra large party-size) of store-bought potato chips, usually about 10 ounces.
Homemade Potato Chips with Rosemary
Russet (Idaho) potatoes (but don't be afraid to experiment with other starchy potatoes like sweet potatoes and blue potatoes)
Peanut oil (I usually get a 24-ounce bottle, which gets me through three batches)
Flaky sea salt
Chopped rosemary
Prepare an area to drain and dress the chips. A few paper grocery bags or some spread out newspaper both work well. Have a little bowl with the salt and another with the chopped rosemary.
Scrub potatoes clean then slice them crosswise on a mandoline about 1/8 – 1/4-inch thick. Make sure the thickness is consistent, otherwise the chips will cook differently.
In a large skillet over medium-high, heat enough oil to fill the pan 3/4 – 1-inch deep. You can use the same batch of oil to cook several batches of chips. You may want to get two pans going at once if you can work that quickly, otherwise it can take a while to get through all the slices.
When oil reaches about 350° F (see these tips for how to tell when oil is ready), gently but quickly lower in enough potato slices to loosely cover the surface area of the pan. Use a set of metal tongs to nudge the potatoes away from each other if they start to stick. When the edges begin to curl and color starts to emerge, turn them over. They should cook about 1-2 minutes per side.
Pull them out with the tongs and set on the paper to drain. Immediately sprinkle with pinches of salt and chopped rosemary.
The dip shown is simple to make: sour cream and chopped fresh herbs (I used basil, Italian parsley and chives) plus some lemon zest and powdered cumin.

Suggestion: Don't Text Message Your Boss While On The Witness Stand
from the that-would-be-a-mistrial dept
"Let me be really frank about this," the judge said. "I never had this happen before. This is completely outrageous, absolutely outrageous."These stories of technology in the courtroom seem to be coming up more and more frequently. It seems as though very few people have really thought through the implications of the many channels of communication that every individual now has with them, and how that changes common assumptions about how people can and will communicate, even in "constrained" areas.
Toledano responded, "It was on a break."
Silverman shot back: "It doesn't matter. You are communicating about the case and the subject matter of the case with a witness who is currently under oath and before the jury,"
Toledano said, "I'm sorry, after we took the break, it's not in the middle."
The judge explained himself again.
"It's a problem on your communicating with the witness about his testimony whether it's before the break, after the break and during the break while he's testifying," he said. "This is outrageous."

When dealing with the stock market, investors may seek to make trades that will limit regret and create a sense of pride. Often times, investors may be challenged with trying to figure out the proper time to sell winners or let go of losers. Of course, nobody wants to sell a winner if it looks like there may be more profits to be had. On the other hand, nobody wants to hold on to a loser for so long that severe losses pile up. Investors often need to assess their own appetite for risk. Some may be able to stomach large swings on a daily basis. Others may not be able to take the volatility when dealing with riskier investments. Risk decisions may be made on past outcomes, and investors who have experienced previous profits and gains may be more likely to take a bigger risk in the future. Those who have only seen substantial losses may be more risk adverse in the future.

Donchian Channels may be useful for technical traders. The primary function of the indicator is to measure volatility.

Many investors may strive to be in the stock market when the bulls are running and out of the market when the bears are in charge. Investors often use multiple strategies when setting up their portfolios. Some may rely solely on fundamental analysis, technical analysis, or a combination of both. Investing can be an extremely tough process. Individual investors often strive to gather and analyze vast amounts of information in order to make educated decisions. Often times, investors may have initial success in the stock market, and then things may turn sour. Confidence may be necessary to make the tougher decisions, but overconfidence may lead to an underperforming portfolio. Overconfidence may cause the investor to make poor decisions because they are relying too heavily on personal interpretations.

How Does the Gospel Save Believers? Part 3
From Gospel Translations
By John Piper
About The Gospel
Part of the series Romans: The Greatest Letter Ever Written
Romans 1:16-17
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous man shall live by faith."
Two Ultimate Concerns in Life
There are only two ultimate concerns in life. One is how to display God in our lives. The other is how to be happy in God forever. These are the great concerns in the world for every person and every people group, whether we are conscious of it or not. How shall a person think and feel and act so as to show the glory of God? And what must we think and feel and do so as to be fully happy in God for all eternity? And not just us, but all the peoples.
Romans 1:16-17 deals with these great concerns - as does the whole book. Verse 16 is about God's power to save us. That deals with concern number two: our longing to be happy in God forever. "I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." The power of God for salvation - that means, at least, the power of God to make us happy in him forever. Romans 14:17 says, "The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." That is what salvation includes. So the gospel is the power of God to bring believers into the eternal experience of "righteousness, peace and joy."
Verse 17 is about the revelation of the righteousness of God in the gospel. So this verse deals with our first great concern: how to display God in our lives. Verse 17 explains how the gospel - the good news about the death and resurrection of Jesus - saves believers. The gospel is the power of God to give believers eternal joy, it says, "For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, 'But the righteous man shall live by faith.'" What stands out here is that the gospel has power to save us because it reveals something of God. And that's what the first great concern in the universe is: the revealing or showing of God.
So verse 16 deals with the great concern of our eternal joy (called "salvation") and verse 17 deals with the issue of the manifestation of God (in particular his righteousness). Things don't get any bigger. They don't get any more important than this. If you think you have bigger issues in your life than this, you are not seeing reality. If you think the Clinton scandals are bigger or the missile reprisals are bigger, you need to turn off the TV and think for a moment. Henry VIII made Bill Clinton look like a Puritan, and he is dead - barely a blip on the screen of history (died 1547), where Bill Clinton will be very soon. And the terrorism of Genghis Khan, wiping out whole peoples, makes today's terrorist assaults seem like recess squabbles; but he is gone, and who even knows what century he lived in (AD 1162-1227)?
What seems great and all-important now may, in fact, be very small. But whether God is shown and known, and whether you will have eternal joy - these are truly great and ultimate concerns. So I am praying earnestly that God will open your eyes and give you a passion for the gospel which is the power of God to save believers, and for the revealing of God's righteousness which is the way the gospel brings believers to eternal life and joy.
"We Shall Be Saved from the Wrath of God"
This is our sixth message on these two verses. And the main point I have been making is that these verses are not mainly about how people become believers, but about how believers are saved - how we escape the wrath of God at the end of the age and enter into eternal life and joy. Verse 16 says that the gospel is the power of God to save believers. And verse 17 says that the way it works is that in the gospel the righteousness of God is being revealed. Both the believing in verse 16 and the revealing in verse 17 are present tense continuous action verbs (in Greek). "The gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who continues to believe, because in that gospel the righteousness of God continues to be revealed."
From our side the key to our being saved from the wrath to come is to go on believing and trusting God. The key, from God's side, to our being saved is that he goes on revealing to us the righteousness of God in the gospel, month after month and year after year.
The issue in these verses is how God saves believers from his final judgment and brings them safely into everlasting righteousness and peace and joy. Romans 13:11 says, "Salvation is nearer to us now than when we [first] believed." Full and final salvation is future. Romans 5:9 says, "Having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him." That is what is at stake in these verses. How does God bring a believer through life so that in the end he is saved from wrath and has eternal life and joy?
In fact, Romans 5:9 is an exact restatement of Romans 1:16-17 with the order of thought reversed. Let's reverse the order of the two halves of Romans 5:9 so they match the order of Romans 1:16-17. Instead of "[a] Having now been justified by His blood, [b] we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him," turn it around and let it say, "[b] We shall be saved from the wrath of God through Christ, [a] because we have been justified by his blood." That is exactly the structure of Romans 1:16-17.
Justification Is the Foundation of Glorification
The gospel is the power of God unto salvation because in it the righteousness of God is revealed, that is, God reveals righteousness as a free gift that we need and don't have. That, we have seen, is the meaning of verses 16 and 17: our final salvation (verse 16) is based on God's giving the righteousness to us that he demands from us (verse 17). The way Paul says it in Romans 8:30 is: "Those whom He justified, He also glorified." Justification (God's righteousness completely imputed to us) is the foundation of glorification (God's righteousness completely imparted to us).
Or to see the same order of salvation in different language, look at Romans 8:32: "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?" In other words, the foundation for all our future hope of life and joy and salvation is based on God's giving his Son to die as a substitute for us so that our sins could be on him, and his righteousness could be on us. It's the same pattern of salvation in Romans 8:30,32 and Romans 5:9 and Romans 1:16-17. This is the great theme and structure of this book.
Our Hope for Salvation
All our hope for salvation (verse 16) hangs on beholding and believing the revelation of God's righteousness as a gift to us (verse 17). The book of Romans is going to demand many things of us as believers, but we are not to do any of them in order to take away our guilt or forgive our sin or get for us the gift of righteousness. God accomplished that once for all in the death of Jesus in our place; and he gave it to us freely through faith the very moment we truly believed. This is why justification is treated as a past event in our lives and is the foundation and security of everything else: "Having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God" (5:9). The past grace of justification secures the future grace of salvation.
The power that will bring believers to that salvation is the revelation of that justification. That's the meaning of the connection between Romans 1:16 and 17. To fulfill all that is required of us to enter heaven, we must see it over and over again - the ongoing revelation in the gospel that the righteousness of God is given to us freely through faith. If we don't know ourselves acquitted and forgiven and counted righteous now, we will not be able to walk the path that leads to life. Either we will despair and turn to worldliness; or we will try to earn our way into God's favor with moral and religious performances.
Everything God requires of us as believers assumes that we are justified -accepted, forgiven, acquitted, counted righteous with his righteousness, not ours. From that secure position we must fight sin and unbelief. And the one who fights like that - as a justified sinner - will live.
"The Righteous Man Shall Live by Faith"
Now that is exactly what I think the last half of verse 17 means. Let's look at this quote from Habakkuk 2:4. "In the gospel the righteousness of God is being revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous man shall live by faith." In the context of the book of Habakkuk the meaning of this sentence is just what it is here. The unrighteous nations are in great peril before the judgment of God. For example, Habakkuk 1:5-6:
Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your days - You would not believe if you were told. For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans [Babylon], that fierce and impetuous people who march throughout the earth to seize dwelling places which are not theirs.
But Judah herself is not exempt from judgment. The wickedness and idolatry of some is about to be tried in the wrath of the Babylonian invasion. The crucial question here is: How can a person be saved? How can they gain their lives and not be destroyed in God's judgment? That's the same question addressed by Romans 1:16 - who will be saved from the wrath of God?
Two Crucial Truths
The answer of the book of Habakkuk is given in 2:4: "Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; but the righteous will live by his faith." There are two crucial truths in this verse that are relevant for Paul's argument.
1. Rescue depends on faith.
One is that rescue from the judgment of God depends on faith. That's what Habakkuk 2:4 promises: "the righteous will live by his faith." That is, it's by faith that you gain your life. By faith you will not be swept away utterly in the wrath of God. By faith you will live. So "living" in Habakkuk 2:4 and here in Romans 1:17b ("the righteous will live") refers to salvation from the judgment of God. And that is tremendously important for Paul's point in verse 16. There he says, "salvation [is] to everyone who believes." Rescue from God's wrath and the gift of eternal life is given freely to those who trust God. Then he sees this same truth in Habakkuk 2:4 and quotes it to give further support to that part of his point. The words, "will live by faith" in verse 17b correspond to "salvation to everyone who believes" in verse 16. We are saved from judgment and inherit life by trusting God. (See Habakkuk 2:18 and 3:16,18-19 for what the "faith" of 2:4 looks like. And see Habakkuk 3:13 for the word "salvation" as reference to the promise of life.)
That's one truth in Habakkuk 2:4 that is relevant for Paul's argument.
2. Life is gained by faith.
The other is that it is a righteous person who gains his life by faith. "The righteous shall live [the righteous person shall gain his life and be saved from God's wrath] by faith." Now that is crucial for what Paul is saying about the righteousness of God. Habakkuk 2:4 doesn't say in so many words that we get God's righteousness by faith, which is what Paul teaches in this book and in Romans 1:17. But Habakkuk does link the righteous person and faith. The least we can say - and maybe we should say more - is that the thing about righteous people that brings them to life and salvation is their faith. It is a very small step then to say: Well then, faith is the essential thing about being righteous before God.
In fact, if it is by faith that we escape God's judgment, and if, as Habakkuk 1:13 says, "[God, your] eyes are too pure to approve evil, and You cannot look on wickedness with favor," then faith must somehow be counted by God as righteousness, because otherwise we could never be rescued by him and given life by him, because we are all sinners and he could never look on us with favor. So, if God can't look on any evil with approval (Habakkuk 1:13) and yet saves us and gives us life by our faith (Habakkuk 2:4), then our righteousness that has a standing with this holy God must be a righteousness by faith and a gift from him. And that is the other reason this text is so crucial for Paul's argument.
So in summary, we see two things in Romans 1:16-17 that are confirmed in the Old Testament quote. 1) One (verse 16) is that the gospel is the power of God to save believers. If we have faith in him we will live and not perish. 2) The other is that the way God saves believers is by revealing (in that gospel) the righteousness of God as a gift "from faith to faith." The righteousness he demands from us (Habakkuk 1:13) he freely gives to us. This is what God reveals "from faith to faith."
"From Faith to Faith"
So the last thing I want to ask in these verses is, What does "from faith to faith" mean in verse 17? There are two or three keys to this.
1) The only real parallel to this phrase in the New Testament is in 2 Corinthians 2:15-16. (But see also Psalm 84:7 and Jeremiah 9:3.) Paul says, "We are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life." "From death to death," and "from life to life" are identical in wording to "from faith to faith." The most natural interpretation seems to be: when Paul's message and sufferings meet with death in the soul, that leads to the final death of the soul. And when his message and sufferings meet with spiritual life, that leads to final life. Death is unresponsive to the gospel and is confirmed in its deadness forever. Spiritual life is responsive to the gospel and is confirmed and preserved for eternal life.
So here in Romans 1:17 it says, "The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith." That is, when the revelation of the gift of righteousness meets with faith it leads to future faith. Faith is the initial window of the soul that lets the light of the revelation of righteousness in. And when the light of God's gift of righteousness comes in by faith, it powerfully works to awaken and sustain and engender more and more faith for the years to come.
2) The other key to understanding "from faith to faith" is to see how well this meaning meets the demands of verse 16. Verse 16 says that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation for all who go on believing - present tense continuous action. So we must go on believing. In 1 Corinthians 15:1-2, Paul says, "Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain." So if we give up on our faith and throw it away, our supposed faith will prove to have been vain, empty, dead.
The Gospel Keeps Believers Believing
What saves is persevering faith (Mark 13:13; Colossians 1:23). If that's true, now it makes clear sense why verse 17 explains how God saves believers by saying that in the gospel God reveals a righteousness for us that is first perceived and embraced by faith, and then has the effect of awakening all the necessary future faith that we need in order to be saved. The gospel saves believers because the gospel keeps believers believing. (See 1 Peter 1:5.)
In Romans 8:13 Paul says, "If you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live." But the problem is, we all know that in our war with sin we do not win often enough to have peace in our consciences. So if our life hangs on perfect winning in the war with sin, we are going to despair and not persevere to the end. We will simply give up, because there is no use trying.
What then will keep us going and fighting so that we will live? Romans 1:16,17 answers: the gospel is the power of God to save believers because in the gospel we can see revealed every day that our standing with God is not based on our own righteousness but on God's, freely given to us by faith. And when we see that over and over in the gospel, day after day, as long as we live, our faith is renewed and sustained, and we press on in the fight. Our confidence that God will help us in life and save us from the wrath to come is based on our ever-renewed assurance that our acceptance with him is based on the gift of his own righteousness, not ours.
So every time the Bible demands you to do something do not think, "I must do this to take away my guilt or to get forgiveness or to get a right standing with God." Rather think, "I will do this because my guilt is already removed, I am already forgiven, I already have the gift of God's righteousness, and so I know that God is for me and will help me. So I will trust him and obey him and display by my radical, risk-taking obedience the glory of God's grace. And I will draw nearer and nearer to him in the fellowship of his sufferings and the joy of his companionship

With the signing of former Chicago Bears quarterback Josh McCown to a two-year contract, new Tampa Bay head coach Lovie Smith seemed fairly certain the Buccaneers had found their quarterback.
General manager Jason Licht wasn't so quick to rule out Mike Glennon or draft pick potentially earning the job.
In an interview with PFT from the owner's meetings in Orlando, Fla., Licht said he expect a competition for the starting quarterback job.
"Well someone has to take the first rep and it's gonna be Josh McCown, but there is gonna be a competition," Licht said. "Competition drives the best out of both people I think this is the best possible situation Mike Glennon can be in to have a guy like Josh McCown in the building."
Licht also wouldn't rule out taking a quarterback with the seventh pick in the draft.
"It's possible it can be a quarterback, tackle, corner it's gonna be the best players available," Licht said.
Smith obviously has a comfort level with McCown, who played for two years under Smith in Chicago. However, Glennon also showed promise as a rookie last season. Glennon completed 59 percent of his passes for 2,608 yards with 19 touchdown and nine interceptions in 13 starts for the Buccaneers.
As Licht notes, McCown is No. 1 on the depth chart right now. Whether he will still be No. 1 on the depth chart come September remains to be seen.

Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott both hit confidence boosting half-centuries ahead of next week's first Ashes Test as England remained in command against Essex in Chelmsford.
Joe Root and Cook shared an opening partnership of 76 before the young Yorkshireman perished to Essex spinner Tom Craddock having scored 26 on his final chance to lay claim to a spot at the top of the order.
Trott and Cook then proceeded to make light work of the Essex bowlers - who had been significantly weakened by the withdrawals of David Masters and Tymal Mills - before England requested the encounter be made more competitive.
Exciting young Essex left-armer Reece Topley was drafted into the side to give his county with more teeth, while England also provided the hosts with the talents of Boyd Rankin in the hope of offering more valuable pre-Ashes practice.
These substitutions meant the match was forced to relinquish its first-class status, but ensured the England batsman faced a sterner test than the part-timers who had filled the void left by Masters and Mills.
Neither Topley or Rankin, however, were able to dislodge Cook (82) or Trott (79) with both retiring out, while Kevin Pietersen allowed Ian Bell and Jonny Bairstow to move up the England order to gain some time at the crease.
Pietersen hit 49 in the England first innings, while Bell and Bairstow managed only 36 between them, and both batsman were still in the middle when play drew to a close with the score 217-3.

Frank Conrad, was born in Pittsburgh on 4 May 1874. He was widely known as the father of commercial radio broadcasting. In 1890, at age 16, young Conrad quit school to work as a bench hand with the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, his life-long employer. Seven years later he had given the world his first important contribution, the round type electric meter now in general use.
He became interested in the time signals sent out by the Naval radio station at Arlington, and developed a crude radio receiving set from which he advanced to his own sending set. His experimentation with radio transmitting in 1919 and earlier helped Westinghouse found station KDKA, the world's pioneer broadcasting station. During World War I he devised special airplane radio apparatus and improved existing hand grenade designs.
During his 51 years with Westinghouse, Conrad received over 200 American, English, and German patents on mechanical and electrical devices such as refrigerators, carburetors, radio transmitters and receivers, televisions, clocks, arc lamps, gear shifts, air conditioners, insulators, vacuum tubes, and electric meters. He was also awarded many honorary degrees and medals for his scientific achievement, among them the IRE Morris Liebman Prize in 1925, the AIEE Edison Medal in 1930 'For his contributions to radio broadcasting and short wave radio transmission', and the AIEE Lamme Medal in 1936. He was inducted in the Radio Hall of Fame in 1953.
Dr. Conrad was married, to the former Flora Selheimer, and had two sons and a daughter. He died on 10 December 1941, at the age of 67, in Miami, Florida.

Special fees proposed for Lower 9th Ward tours
Special fees proposed for Lower 9th Ward tours
Tour bus operators are a step closer to paying the city hundreds of dollars in fees to resume tours of the rebuilding from Hurricane Katrina under way in the Lower 9th Ward.
A package of ordinances that restricts the buses to major thoroughfares and requires the special fees is being introduced at the City Council this month. The first was introduced Thursday, and the others will be introduced at the council's next meeting on Nov. 15.
A 2006 law banned tour buses from the area, but operators say many didn't know about the law until the city began enforcing it recently.
The proposed laws would permit tours to legally resume, but require hundreds of dollars in fees per vehicle for buses of 33-feet in length or smaller.
