What is Inception?
Little is known about Inception, Chris Nolan's cryptic follow up to The Dark Knight. Both cast and crew are keeping lips tightly sealed regarding plot details, leaving a rabble of internet Fanboys to concoct their own interpretations.
So what exactly do we know about Nolan's follow up to the biggest film of 2008? Inception stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a company man leading a small team on a mysterious mission into the 'architecture of the mind'. Brick's Joseph Gordon-Levitt will star as his associate, with Nolan regulars Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy also making an appearance.
Billed as a sci-fi thriller where your mind is the scene of the crime, the film will also boast Matrix-style fight sequences. Sounds interesting.
Written and directed by Nolan, Inception looks to be his 'quiet before the storm' movie, with rumours suggesting the director will return to Gotham for his next project.
If you were hoping the teaser trailer would shed some much needed light then guess again. Opening up a whole new world of questions, it does what a trailer is suppose to do: make you want to see the movie.
Inception has a 16th July 2010 release date.

In The Loop.
Crass, intelligent and very funny, if you missed In The Loop during it's brief theatrical run then your in luck as it was released on DVD this week.
Armando Iannucci, the brains behind The Thick Of It and I'm Alan Partridge (among others) shows us behind the scenes of the cut throat world of politics, where inept MP Simon Foster (Tom Hollander) accidentally backs a decision to go to war.
Sparking the attention of the media and the venom spitting Communications Chief Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi), soon MP Foster is embroiled in a political pickle made no easier by US involvement.
In The Loop has some great one liners, superb comedic performances and is one of the funniest films to come out of the UK in years. For fans of Iannucci and great British comedy In The Loop is a must watch.

More Moore.
Based on this trailer I can totally see how audiences either love Michael Moore or hate him. Deep down I'm sure he has honest intentions; wanting only the truth for the country that he so obviously loves. Although clearly it's apparent he's not above whoring his infamous celebrity status in order to obtain said truth.
Capitalism: A love story, a no holds barred look at the US economy and recent financial crisis is sure to be an interesting if slightly tongue in cheek piece of work. Guaranteed to keep his supporters supporting him and his oppressors fighting him.
Capitalism: A love story premiers at next month's Toronto International Film Festival, UK release date TBC.

Watch this space.
Last night two interesting trailers finally arrived onto the internet, one of which debuted at this year's Comic-con. The trailers in question are Joe Johnston's The Wolf Man and the highly anticipated Avatar, marking James Cameron's return to the big screen after a ten year absence.
The Wolf Man, a remake of the 1941 Universal monster movie of the same name will see Dr Gonzo himself Benicio Del Toro snarl, drool and howl at the moon. He'll also turn into a Werewolf.
Avatar has been heavily hyped, heralded as the movie that will change the way you watch movies, sporting revolutionary motion capture and CG special effects. Paraplegic war vet Jake (Sam Worthington) has his mind placed into a Na'vi, an 8-foot blue alien and virtual avatar; he is sent to help establish a human settlement on the planet Pandora becoming entangled in a war in the process.
Based on the trailers i think The Wolf Man has the potential to be really cool, just as long as it doesn't turn into a repeat of 2004's Van Helsing. Avatar depicts a vibrant war torn new world; hopefully the story has enough substance and coherency to support its state of the art effects.
Catch both trailers after the jump!
Avatar is released on 18th December 2009, The Wolf Man will hit cinemas on the 12th of February 2010.

In case you missed it . . .
Some of you may have already seen the feel good Swedish Vampire flick Let The Right One In, but if you haven't then let this blog serve as a quick reminder to drop what you're doing and find a copy.
Based on the John Ajvide book, it follows the unlikely friendship between a 12-year-old boy and a young vampire who moves into his apartment building. Over time the pair help each other overcome their personal problems and form a heart warming relationship.
The film boasts stellar performances and one kick ass scene towards it's climax (I wont say which one, rest assured you'll know it when you see it). Production has already begun on the unnecessary but seemingly inevitable American remake, Let Me In will place Cloverfield director Matt Reeves at the helm. So take this opportunity to check out the original in all it's glory before Hollywood gets it's grubby fingers on it.

Oh my Holy Crap, Gentleman Broncos
It took almost a year for 2004's Napoleon Dynamite to find it's audience and for everyone to jump on the bandwagon of a film that had already been around for some time. That said, if you watch this trailer for Gentleman Broncos now, when people decide to jump on it's indie-gem bandwagon a month or two down the line, you'll be able to say something like "Oh my god, i totally knew about that film before it was huge" and what Facebook loving youth doesn't enjoy doing that?
The fourth film from writer/director Jared Hess looks like a return to the low-key oddball comedy that made Napoleon Dynamite such a cult fave. Gentleman Broncos is the story of Benjamin, a home-schooled misfit with a passion for fantasty writing who has his first story 'Bronco' ripped off by his idol, the legendary fantasy novelist Ronald Chevalier. Played by Flight of the Conchord's Jemaine Clement, the desperate Chevalier changes a few details and the story becomes a best seller, forcing Benjamin to seek revenge.
We'll get a glimpse of the story in question in the form of fantasy sequences of the book throughout the film. Sam Rockwell, fresh from the Moon, will star as the transvestite lead character in both Benjamin and his rival Chevalier's version of the story.
By the looks of the trailer Gentleman Broncos looks filled with weird characters, which is a good thing. Both Clement and Rockwell look like they've sculpted characters that everyone will be quoting this time next year. After the disappointing Jack Black vehicle Nacho Libre, going back to the oddball comedic style that gave Napoleon Dynamite its charm is a wise choice.
Plus any film with surveillance doe's in it is an automatic hit in my book.
Gentleman Broncos is released on 30th of October in America, UK release date TBC.

Once upon a time in Nazi occupied France. . .
There are two things you can count on seeing in a Quentin Tarantino movie: cool scenes of dialog, and of course, cool scenes of excessive gore. Both feature in his latest, the absurdly spelled Inglorious Basterds, but they're accompanied by so much more.
The ballsy title is like the film itself, Basterds is a bold film to make from a director confident he can get away with anything. A multi lingual World War 2 fantasy that remains Tarantino-esque, yet still he pushes his audience for more. Don't be fooled by the gung ho trailers, for the most part you'll be reading subtitles and with many long scenes where attention to detail is crucial, you're almost in art house territory.
Divided into five chapters, each providing a segment of the back-story, which together form the big picture. A plot is formed to assassinate Hitler and his cronies whilst at a film premier, the Basterds are sent in to make sure it all goes to plan and to do what they do best.
And yet Tarantino's trigger happy team, a group of Jewish American soldiers who specialize in collecting Nazi scalps, lead by the cigar chomping Lt Aldo Raine, appear only briefly in the films 153 minute run time.
Instead we get intense dialog driven scenes; an interrogation of a father accused of harboring a Jewish family faced with a horrible choice, a bar game turned sinister Mexican stand off, two of the films finest sequences. Perhaps 'Once upon a time in Nazi occupied France' the films original title may have been more fitting.
After it's tense opening the film almost goes off track, a brief lull that is saved when the Basterds reappear. The cast is great, Pitt (who looks like he's channeling Brando with the drawl of Jack Daniels) is entertaining, especially when forced to impersonate an Italian director. And in Christopher Waltz, the smug German 'Jew Hunter' who always knows more than he lets on, Tarantino creates one of his best villains. The director even found time for his trademark cameos, keep an eye and an ear out for the obvious - Mike Myers and the not so obvious Harvey Keitel.
With its westerns references, dark humour and comic book style on screen graphics, Inglorious Basterds is not what you may have expected, but in a good way. Think of Tarantino what you will, someone carrying the torch of film making or simply recycling old genres, the fact is he's making the films he wants to make and having fun doing it. Which makes you wonder if the films final line "In fact, I think this may be my masterpiece" belongs to Aldo or Quentin.
Inglorious Basterds goes on general release August 21st.

Welcome to the Imaginarium.
Earlier this week the first full trailer for Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus made it's way online, and you can check it out after the jump.
Imaginarium almost never saw the light of day due to the untimely death of heath Ledger half way through the films shoot. However, thanks to its fantastical themes, the films director and Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam was able to tinker with the story to ensure the films completion.
And so each time Ledger's character Tony, a mysterious outsider passes through a magical mirror he takes on a new form. Enter Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law.
Most of the movies plot is mentioned in the trailer so I wont go into too much detail. Dr Parnassus made a deal with the devil to become immortal, now the devil wants to collect his daughter's soul and its up to Tony to try and save her.
The film premiered at Cannes Film Festival earlier this year to mixed reviews. Has Gilliam crafted an appropriate swan song for Ledger? Not everyone though so. Despite this, the trailer suggests that there will be no shortage of eye candy in the Imaginarium and it will no doubt be interesting to see how Depp, Farrell and Law rework the same character. Ultimately this film will be famous for being Ledgers final on screen appearance, and after his whirlwind stint as the Joker, who wouldn't want to see that?
Whilst on the subject, here is a taster of Ledger as Tony, a clip that cropped up on the net a few months ago. Looks pretty cool!
The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus is released on the 16th of October.

John Hughes, 1959 - 2009
Surely the greatest achievement a filmmaker can hope for is to be remembered, to speak to your audience directly so that even if the filmmaker fades away into obscurity, his or her films endure. It would be fair to say that writer and director John Hughes, who sadly passed away this week aged 59, did just that.
It's hard to tell if our generation fully appreciates the effect Hughes had on shaping aspects of today's cinema and the output of its directors. By casting real teenagers as appose to young adults, his movies gave a generation a voice and an image they could relate to. Hughes tapped into the minds of teenagers, their insecurities, loves, hopes and the pressures of growing up in the eight films he directed, whilst shaping the careers of his young stars in the process.
It was seemingly the job he was sent to do and in an interview just after the release of Home Alone he said, "When I've lost my voice, I'll know when to go. I'll disappear in a Puff" and that's exactly what he did. It was time for Hughes to buy the farm – literally - and at just 45 he settled down with his wife in his 600-acre rural retreat. Although he continued to write, often under the pseudonym Edmond Dantès (from The Count Of Monte Cristo), he never experienced the same success, but he had effected an entire generation in his wake and unwittingly passed the torch.
It's hard to think where the teen film would be if John Hughes had stayed working as an advertising copywriter. Needless to say we wouldn't have people like Judd Apatow making the films he's making today, as he explains, "It's pretty ridiculous to hear people talk about the movies we've been doing, with outrageous humour and sweetness all combined, as if they were an original idea. I mean, it was all there first in John Hughes films. Whether it's Freaks and Geeks or Superbad, the whole idea of having outsiders as the lead characters, that all started with Hughes". An opinion echoed by a filmmaker and fan that regularly references John Hughes in his work, Kevin Smith, "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be doing what I do. Basically my stuff is just John Hughes films with four letter words"
'Don't you forget about me' a nod to the music that was as big a part of his films as his young stars, acts as a subtle reminder that while Hughes may be gone, the spirit of his work lives on.

Rendlesham: Enterprise Finance Guarantee helps couple acquire dental practice
PUBLISHED: 06:00 08 June 2014
Husband and wife team Raheem Achour and Stacey Gore have purchased the Rendlesham Dental Practice with the support of debt funding from RBS.
The couple already had experience of working at the practice and, having been looking to purchase a practice of their own for the past two years, stepped in when the previous owner retired.
RBS relationship manager Tracy Westley, worked with the couple to help them secure the best funding options available and suggested using the Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG) Scheme and Funding for Lending loan facilities which are in place to support SMEs.
The Government-backed EFG scheme is designed to provide businesses with the necessary working capital or investment finance. Under the scheme the Government will guarantee 75% of any loans made and the bank covers the remaining 25%.
The Government-backed Funding for Lending loan facilities enables SMEs to take advantage of the no arrangement fees agreement. David Brewer, a local broker at FTA Finance, introduced the deal to RBS.
Stacey Gore said: "It was a huge relief to complete the purchase of the dental practice and delighted we were given this opportunity to buy it from the previous owner, who we both know very well as I have worked as an associate there for a number of years.
"RBS have been very supportive and patient on our two-year journey and we were delighted that Tracy was on board to support us through the various funding options available.
"We will be retaining the existing staff and although it is mainly an NHS practice, we will look to expand our private patients in the area over time. The dream has become a reality for which we are very grateful to all involved."
Tracy Westley added: "I am thrilled Raheem and Stacey have realised a longstanding dream of owning their own business.
"I worked closely with them both throughout and although it was a lengthy transaction I was determined to put the correct finance in place to suit their requirements and business model. I wish them all the very best as they settle into their ownership roles."

Ambassador to Lebanon meets Lebanese Armed Forces Commander
The British Ambassador to Lebanon Hugo Shorter and US Ambassador met Lebanese Armed Forces Commander Aoun to discuss border security.
Within the framework of the High Level Steering Committee, British Ambassador to Lebanon Hugo Shorter, and the US Ambassador Elizabeth Richard met the Lebanese Army Commander Joseph Aoun to discuss the security of the Lebanese-Syrian border and the recent army operation 'Fajr El Jouroud'.
The discussions focused on the Lebanese Army's plan to secure 100% of the Lebanese-Syrian border by 2019. During the meeting, Ambassador Shorter announced £1.8 million and Ambassador Richard undertook to provide US support to help the Lebanese Army secure the newly liberated border areas east of Jouroud el Qaa and Ras Baalbeck. This funding and support will help the LAF construct and equip Protected Border Observation Posts and Forward Operating Bases throughout this area. The UK has committed over £60 million to this project, with significant contributions from the US, and support from other partners.
Ambassador Shorter also announced additional UK resources to help the LAF open routes through the significant fields of Daesh explosive ordnance, and discussed what could be provided to clear these ordnances, and help return this area to its previous use as agricultural land. Throughout the project so far, over 70% of the Syrian-Lebanon border has been secured, and an increased sense of security has given many Lebanese the chance to resume their daily lives, and return to their homes and land not seen in years.
After the meeting Ambassador Shorter said:
It is always a privilege to meet the Commander of the Lebanese Army General Joseph Aoun and discuss progress on the Land Border Project to which the UK has committed over £60 million. The Lebanese Army has developed and modernised over the past ten years, to become a respected, professional army that has shown it is able to protect Lebanon from the biggest threat it faces, terrorism, both on the borders and inside Lebanon.
I am also pleased that the UK and the US will help the LAF construct border towers and Forward Operating Bases in the areas of Qaa and Ras Baalbeck liberated in 'Fajr el Jouroud'. We are also offering new UK expertise on explosive hazards clearance.
We remain proud partners of the Lebanese army and we look forward to strengthening our military and security relations even further.

A 43-year-old man was arrested and charged with drug offences.
He was granted conditional bail to appear at Liverpool Local Court on June 26.
A second man will be issued a court attendance notice over the cannabis plants while a third man will be issued a court attendance notice over the firearm, nunchakus and cannabis found inside the house.

When I was a child and I visited Puerto Rico (every year) Vietnam would never ever miss the opportunity to take me to Old San Juan in the Ferry that left out of Cataño. It was just me and him, before my brother was born, before my parents totally hated each other's guts. Although I do remember once Vader slapped the shit out of me because Vietnam was leaving and I left with him to Old San Juan.
After almost going totally crazy on Friday, all day at home with nothing to do, I decided to plan an "Adventure" with Miss C. An adventure with no cars, no guys; just two gals and feet.
So we left our car in Cataño and made our way to the ferry terminal.
After paying an exaggerated amount of $.75 cents for BOTH of us....(I have no idea why more parents don't do this with their kids instead of the HUGE amusement parks), we got on the ferry.
Miss C couldn't have been more happier. It was an adventure, on a "Boat".
10 minutes later we were in the great "Walled City" aka Old San Juan.
We didn't have any real plans, just two gals posing as Tourists.
Our first stop: The Pigeon Park.
A beautiful area full of pigeons, where you can buy a bag full of corn for a dollar and sit and feed the birds.
I don't need to say how much the Kid got a kick out of the birds, although she was upset that the pigeons wouldn't eat out of her hands, like they ate out of mine.
Maybe it had to do with the fact that I wasn't shoving my hand up their eyeballs with corn.
After the Pigeon Park, we made our way up to the Plaza de Armas, where we had a light $5.67 lunch at Wendy's.
After lunch we made our way uphill to explore the differents shops, sights and visited the "Museo del Niño", Children's Museum, full of all kinds of sights and wonders: Dress Up area, Science Area with live dengue carrying Mosquitoes, Huge Ears and Organs you can touch and explore, a nice Recycled Craft area and a recreation of a Plaza in San Juan, with a miniature store and Piragua Cart.
That cost me $12.00 for both of us.
After that we decided to go to the Totem, where a fountain jolts water from the ground and tons of children go to get wet and cool off. We didnt' get wet, but we did cool off with a Real Piragua for $2.00.
Our last stop, El Morro, The Old Spanish Fort.
Entrance: Free up until 16 years old, everybody else :$3.00.
We explored every nook and cranny, played "Hide and Go Seek" and decided that finally at 4:00pm (we had been in San Juan since 11:30am) we were pooped.
We headed back down, not without stopping at the bookstores to look at books for the Kid and having a hot dog before getting back on the Ferry.
Once back in the Car we were going to head out to the thrift store, but our legs were pooped.
We called it an afternoon.
Total tab for the afternoon: $29.17
I'm sure it could have been equally special and cheaper, minus maybe the Fort or the Museum, but it goes to show that you don't have to go far to give your children a special day. In the end, as we sat on the Ferry and I saw her eyes shine with delight and curiosity, I couldn't help think if my face was equally delighted with Vietnam, almost 15 years ago.
And no matter how bad we have it now, I treasure those moments with 'Nam, and I'm sure Miss C will treasure ours.

Fresh off of the week in Florida I headed to the West Coast and San Francisco to do three days of training for EA. Two days on the income statement with a Mangement group and an executive sales team and a day of the more advanced balance sheet with a group of attendees from the income statement classes in past visits. It was nice to beat the heat in the Bay Area, the weather was great. The food is always great and the classes are always fun at EA. The lunches are good too. EA has one of the better corporate cafeterias.
EA is an interesting company. When I started working with them in 2008 they were sustaining large losses and slow growth. That continued for 4 years, the last three years I have watched the company slowly climb out of its hole. The company is now profitable with strong cash flow. There is still work to do on the margins in this business but they are on the right track.
After the last class one of the students came up to me and thanked me for the class. He said I have had a negative view of our financials because I heard that things had been bad for so long. It was nice to see how things have improved financially. I did not realize this last fiscal year was as strong as it was. It's funny how the culture of losing money can really make employees look at things negatively. One benefit of training finance is these employees see the real numbers and not the rumor or innuendo. I have found that the real numbers are always better than the rumors and the unknown.
On this visit I was able to visit a college friend and a high school friend. Both own their own design businesses in San Francisco. It's interesting to see how they run their businesses and grow them. I am always impressed with the Entrepeneurship spirit I see all over this country. Both of these friends have successful profitable firms that employ about 30 to 40 employees each. I love to see how a person can take their dreams and create businesses that add jobs to the economy and create value for themselves and their partners. That is what business is all about.

About Soft Crust Pizza
Regular pizza dough usually calls for about 3 cups of flour (if you want to make pizza at home). You can make a big pizza with all that flour, but one slice of a 16-inch pizza could have 34.0 grams of carb just for the crust. You can see what you are up against. Regular pizzas are true carb killers. This crust has 7.7 grams of carb per serving.
SERVING SIZE,1 slice (12-inch pizza).
CARBS PER SERVING, (CRUST ONLY): 7.7 grams of carb.
½ cup cold water
1/3 cup hot water
4 Tablesps olive oil
1 package rapid-rise yeast
¾ cup stone ground whole-wheat flour
½ cup whole almond meal
½ cup soy protein powder
salt (about ¼ Teasp or to taste)
Preheat oven to 450ºF. Lightly oil a 14-inch pizza pan.
Combine the cold water, boiling water, and olive oil in a medium-size mixing bowl. Add the yeast and stir. While the yeast activates (it needs to adds sugar), combine the stone ground whole-wheat flour, almond meal, soy protein powder
Good to be Healthy Pizza
This recipe uses Swiss chard. Like all dark leafy greens, they grow in cooler weather. So you will find fresh local Swiss chard at farmers markets right now. It should be brightly colored, crisp and free of tiny holes that may be a sign of insect damage. Wash it just before using. Otherwise, it stores well in the refrigerator in a plastic bag. This recipe also calls for red miso, Japanese fermented soy paste. It lends a dairy like flavor to the pesto sauce. Find it in the dairy case at your local health food store. This pizza is tasty and satisfying without the cheese.
Too Good to be Healthy Pizza
1 Kabuli Whole Wheat Pizza Crust (available at Wild Oats)
1/3 cup non-dairy pesto (recipe below)
½ bunch Swiss chard
10 sun dried tomatoes
12 Kalamata olives
3 water packed artichoke hearts
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash the chard and trim any rough ends. Chop the leaves into bite size pieces and the stems into ¼ inch pieces. Place

Cool Snacks in Summer
Juice Pops
Summer isn't complete without homemade juice popsicles. Simply fill a popsicle mold or an ice tray with your favorite fruit juice. Cover the ice tray with clear plastic wrap and poke a toothpick through the plastic into each square. Place the tray into the freezer until the popsicles are frozen solid.
Frozen Monkey Treats
Here is a healthy snack that your kids will go bananas for! Peel a banana and cut it in half. Insert popsicle sticks into the cut ends. Dip the bananas into yogurt or melted chocolate, and then roll the bananas in chopped nuts, crushed cereal, or coconut shavings. Place the bananas on a small waxed paper-lined baking sheet and set the sheet into the freezer for an hour or so. Fun to make and even more fun to eat!
Fruit Fizzy
Don't plan your summer party without this refreshing drink. Pour one can of Sprite (it doesn't have caffeine) into a blender, along with small ice cubes. Add several large strawberries, a handful of blueberries, or other favorite fruit to the mix. Blend the mixture until it has the texture of a slush. Pour into a glass
Homemade BBQ Sauce
The easiest BBQ sauce can be prepared very quickly. You will need 2 cups of your favorite ketchup, 2 chopped onions, ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, ¼ cup of brown sugar, and chili powder to taste. Sautee the onions and then add the remainder of the ingredients. Cook on low heat for around 15 minutes until the mixture thickens. Then brush on your favorite meat.
You can also add or substitute the above ingredients to create some very unique barbeque sauces on your own. You may prefer to add items such as peppers for a nice flavor or even Tabasco sauce for a hotter style.
Now, you can choose your flavorings and spices to add to the tomato sauce. You can use tomato sauce or tomato puree with a whole tomatoes. Try pineapple juice or orange juice for a tropical flavor or add liquid smoke flavoring for that outdoors flavor. You can even use molasses or your favorite pancake syrup to enhance the style of your bbq sauce. Don't just think simple, try the various flavors such as maple or butter pecan to add a new and unique flavor. Either
Veggie Comfort Burgers
- 1/2 cup grated zuchinni, after wrapping in kitchen towel/ cheesecloth and squeezing out the water. (Zuchinni adds a wonderful texture and moistness to all kinds of dishes, including potato pancakes, meatloaf, and even carrot cake.)
- 1/2 cup grated potato. You can leave the skin on if you like, but it's probably better to remove it. To reduce cooking time, you can also add roughly-mashed cooled boiled potatoes (i.e., just potato, no cream, milk, etc.).
- 3 canned shiitake mushrooms, finely minced. (You can use any mushroom, but shiitakes are reputed to aid in improving blood flow in human bodies.)
- 1/2 small onion, grated.
- 1 tsp of grated or finely minced garlic.
- 1 tbsp ground cumin.
- Salt and black pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle of crushed red pepper flake [optional].
- 1/4 cup chickpea flour for protein. If you cannot find this flour, grind your own from dried chickpeas.
- 1/2 cup white flour. (You should "cut" besan with regular white flour, to reduce the chances of burning your burgers/ pancakes. Once you've burned high-protein ingredients once, you'll know better.)
- 2 eggs, beaten.
- 2-3 tbsp vegetable or canola oil. You can use olive oil, but it has a low smoke point and burns easily.
- 1 tbsp butter.
- 3-4 small (bocconcinni) mozarella balls, sliced thinly

Cook Lobster Tails and Tournados
Frozen uncooked lobster tails, thawed – 4oz to 5oz
Cayenne Pepper
Using kitchen shears, cut through the shell, down the center right to the end of the shell only. If not completely thawed, hold under room temperature tap water to speed the process up. Spread the shell apart slightly and cut meat down the center being careful not to cut all the way through. Insert a finger under the meat (between the cartilage) and gently bring meat to top of the shell. Push the shell together so meat stays on top of the lobster shell.
Spread the softened butter generously in a think layer over meat. Sprinkle lightly with the cayenne pepper and arrange on a shallow baking pan. If you're not quite ready to serve you can refrigerate them until ready.
Bake in oven at 550 degrees Fahrenheit for about 7 minutes. Serve with melted butter in little bowls or dishes for dipping.
For poached lobster tails place the thawed lobster tails in boiling salted water, cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove cartilage and serve as is, or loosen and cut up meat and replace
Chicken Pizza
Ingredients for Chicken Marination:
1/2 kg chicken boneless
1/2 tbsp roasted cumin powder
1 tsp white pepper powder
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt to taste
Ingredients for Pizza Topping:
Capsicum cut in squares
Butter Mushrooms cut into halves
Black Olives
Green Olives
Mozzarella cheese
Cheddar cheese
Pinch of Oregano
Pinch of Rosemary
Cooking Instructions:
Marinate all chicken pieces in the spices listed above for chicken marination and leave them for 30 minutes. After that you can either steam the marinated chicken or you can shallow fry it. To cook chicken on steam, you have to boil water in a deep sauce pan and place chicken pieces on the strainer and put the strainer over boiling water. Then cover the pan and cook on low heat for 15 minutes until chicken becomes tender. If you want to shallow fry chicken pieces, put 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan and then put marinated chicken pieces and cook for 10-15 minutes until chicken become dry and tender. Now you have to assemble the pizza. Take a pre-made pizza dough and spread it onto your pizza pan. Now make a layer of pizza
About Tempting Pizza
This is a quick recipe. Dissolve yeast in slightly warm water. Keep it aside for 5 minutes and stir it time to time. Combine flour, salt, sugar and oil in a bowl and knead it but add water/yeast mixture as well. Start kneading the pizza dough carefully to bring flour into the center of bowl. Kneading should be continuous so that the dough remains smooth. If dough looks dry, add a little more water to give moisture. Similarly, if it is sticky, then add more flour. Knead until it is smooth and elastic.
Roll it into a ball and cover with a damp cloth to avoid moisture escape. Let it rest for about 20 minutes at some warm place, with an appropriate distance from the stove. Beat dough with your palm to expand it and to remove gas bubbles which are formed while fermenting. Roll dough gain into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it with some plastic wrap and store in refrigerator.
Now it is ready to use. Place dough on floured counter top or wooden board. Flatten it with your hands or rolling pin. Push the dough evenly onto the
Make Guacamole Dip
Assemble the following kitchen items:
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- A shallow-lipped dish or bowl, preferably with a flat bottom
- A potato masher, hand-held is better than an electric whipper
Ingredients (for one batch, feeds 2-4 people as a side dish or dip for chips):
- 2 Haas avocados*
- Fresh cilantro (usually comes in a small bunch or plastic bag in the produce area)
- 2 Roma tomatoes
- 2 fresh limes (not lime juice)
- Sour Cream (fat-free is OK)
- 1 package of Guacamole seasoning (Schilling, McCormick, or Lawry)
- Cumin (a spice)
- Your favorite salsa (homemade or favorite brand)
- Favorite tortilla chips
* Do not use green-skinned "Chilean" avocados. Haas (or "California") avocados have a very dark skin, almost brown, and the skin has a "wrinkled" appearance. To select avocados that are "ripe" (ready to use), pick up the avocado, hold it in your palm (like you are holding a ball), and squeeze very gently, but with some pressure. The avocado should "give" a little (that is, not feel solid or too firm). If it is "squishy" (really soft), then try another one. Don't buy too far ahead of time (I like to get them the day before). DO NOT REFRIGERATE prior to making the guacamole.
Making the

Must know about Personal Pizzas
-1 Teaspoon Active Dry Yeast. Dry yeast is used in many baking products as a leavening agent. It converts food sugars present in the dough into a carbon dioxide gas which in turn makes the product rise. After baking, the result is a more fluffy, puffed up bread that is more appetizing than a hard cake. Some benefits of using yeast in baking include an addition of fiber and vitamin B found in s. cerevisiae, the most common strand of yeast.
-1 Teaspoon Honey. Honey is a viscous sweetener produce by bees and other related insects. It is used in our pizza recipe as a sugar substance for the yeast to act on as well as a flavor agent. Honey gets is sweet taste from the glucose chemicals it possesses. It has been used for thousands of years all around the world. With only sixty four calories in a tablespoon, it is a great alternative to sugar when sweetening foods and beverages.
-1/8 Teaspoon Salt. While it is often looked at as unhealthy, salt can be used to amplify flavors in foods. It has had a culinary use for the past eight thousand years and can

My research focuses on the effect of tree diversities on insect herbivory in forest ecosystems. When I write "diversities", I mean tree diversity ranging from genetic diversity within populations to tree species diversity in landscape context.
My work rests on the general hypothesis that tree diversity provides resistance to insect herbivores. I use meta-analytical and field experiment approaches to test this hypothesis and explore the possible mechanisms involved in the diversity-resistance relationship.
My research shows that herbivory response to tree diversity depends on three main factors: (1) The relative abundance of tree species, (2) The composition of tree species assemblages, via tree apparency and resource availability to herbivores and (3) The feeding specialization of herbivores (generalist vs specialists).How these factors interact and determine the effect of tree diversities (i.e. genetic, specific, functional phylogenetic diversities…) on host choice and consumption by insects is likely to keep me busy me for a while.

As I told you in my last post, I am planning to take a step forward, to a completely new level and take my fitness really seriously again. I became friends with that Malaysian guy from gym I told you about and turns out we really do have a lot in common. We talked about fitness, training and lifestyle in general and when I was reading his messages I almost kinda freaked out – he basically said my thoughts and opinion word by word. Just the same I am always telling anybody when they ask me about my motivation and workouts. And we experianced a lot of similar situations – like when a friend wants to join us in gym, enthusiastically at the first time, but giving it up after about the third. It is just so good to have someone this.. likeminded, who is just as obsessed and crazy about these things as I am. There's this saying: you gotta love the burn! And I do! I just love when it hurts, during the exercises and after, the next day. But when I tell people that they just say I am out of my mind – today my Danish friend actually told me I should see a psychiatrist, because that's not normal. But I disagree, this is normal, this is good and keeps my going! The pain only shows that what I did was good, with a proper form and it's working. That I can be proud of my work on the day before. Everybody should appreciate this feeling instead of complaining because it feels uncomfortable.
Okay, I'mma get to the point. So, since I decided to take it seriously I realized I'll need a schedule for that. So right now we're working on that schedule – fortunately he can help me a lot! Like we decided that I should start doing chest exercises as well, but I don't really know about them, so he'll just write me a detailed list about what I should do. Warmup and stretching included. I'm so lucky to have a friend like that! Anyway, at first I made a weekly plan: which part of the body is going to be trained on which days. It's a bit different from that one I had back at home, because this gym is only open on weekdays, so I only go five times instead of six a week. But since I usually have dragon boat trainings on the weekend or go swimming/running, I think it's not such a big problem. So this is how it looks like:
- Monday: Cardio + Abs
- Tuesday: Shoulders + Arms
- Wednesday: Legs + Butt
- Thursday: Chest + Back
- Friday: Cardio + Abs
- Weekends: Dragon boat / Swimming / Running / …
I just didn't want to put shoulders and arms right before of after the weekend, because especially if we have dragon boat on both Saturday and Sunday, my muscles wouldn't have enough time to recover – which they really do need after rowing, trust me, it can be pretty tough! Aaand I had to repeat something since I didn't want to separate this pairs, so I went with abs two times a week. It's my favourite anyway, and it even could be done every second day, so it's really necessary actually. And I can adjust the cardio depending on how exhausting the week prior was – flexible but still really effective. And I need that cardio as well, if I want my abs really showing again. I'm already grieving my boobs that have already started shrinking, but I guess that's the price. And here in Asia nobody has boobs anyway, so I guess that won't make such a difference here, haha. This is a picture of how my abs currently look like -actually I am not satisfied cause they looked soooo much better in July, so since I know they can be as shredded and toned – I won't be happy till I reach at least that condition.
After the weekly plan I started writing lists about the exercises I usually do – even though I don't always do all of them, but it's still good to have those written down together that I know and worked for me. Today I managed to make two lists:
Legs + Butt
- Barbell squats
- Barbell/dumbell lunges
- Leg press
- Hip abduction
- Hip adduction
- Straight kneeling leg raises
- Hip extension – straight leg
- Hip extension – bend knee
- Side leg raises (doggy)
- Calf raises
- Hamstring curl
- Hip thrust with weights (aka Booty Bridge)
- Single leg hip thrust
- Single leg deadlift – bodyweight/dumbell
Shoulders + Arms
- Alternating Arnold press
- Seated dumbell press
- Front dumbell raise
- Lateral Raises
- Upright dumbell rows
- Single side cable lateral raise
- Palms-in shoulder press
- In and out bicep curls
- Full supination concentrated curls
- Static arm curls
- Hammer curls
- Cable curls
- Tricep kickbacks
- Tricep pushdowns (cable)
- Lying tricep extension
- Bench dips
- Seated dumbell tricep extension
Sooo basically that's it. On shoulder and arms day Jake told me I should do 3 sets of 10-12 reps of each part (shoulders + biceps + triceps) so I can burn fat and build muscle at the same time. And at least I can put together more variations and make working out even more interesting and not boring at all! Anyway, this week is kind of a pre-week before the real work, I'm working out properly but not on such a strict schedule – so we have more time to complete the schedule and make it perrrfect.
The other important part of living healthy is clean eating. It's tough as I wrote last time, but fortunately I can manage to make it more interesting, healthy and delicious at the same time! I prepare snacks fot the day the night before – today I had a box of mango, grapes and dragon fruit – it was so nice to snack on some healthy fresh fruits throughout the day. Actually, fruits are good but you have to be careful with them though! That's really important since they have a lot of sugar – natural, but still. It's only good if you need energy, like before a test or a workout – but definetely doesn no good in the evening or especially before going to sleep. So munch on fruits instead of cookies and chocolate, but don't overdo it either!
My breakfast is usually steel-cut oats, with peanut rice milk – and I always try to make it adding different stuff – almonds, cashew, banana or other fruits, which makes it a really filling and tasty start for the day ahead. Don't forget, breakfast is the most important meal of the day which helps your metabolism start working and keeps you going in those first few crucially important hours!

2 Aspects You Do Definitely Not Know Regarding To LASIK Eye Medical SurgeryThe eye can be analyzed with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional examination consists of the capability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be checked in numerous methods. The patient might be asked to identify illuminated letter or things of differing sizes on exactly what is called the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye might be made in a number of methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain illness, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased markedly.
It must be well remembered that a client with an eye problem may have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can alert the doctor and the client to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
One's reliance on sight is stressed when one deals with a possible or short-term long-term loss of this important sense. When restorative measures are looked for, specific types of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are recommended.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with the reality that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were developed to encourage reduced utilization of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is fixed permanently.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main purpose of this surgery is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, permitting better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that people should understand. Probably, the primary reason this kind of eye surgical treatment has become well accepted is anonymous due to the fact that most of its cases had actually succeeded.
In spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most delicate part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgical treatment includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive parts of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be really risky.
In other words, a easy error might nearly cause an person's life time blindness. Thus, it is necessary to think about many elements prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgery is the right restorative step one has to go through.
2. It is not a ideal procedure
LASIK eye surgery may fix your vision but it does not necessarily mean that it can provide you a ideal vision. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily indicate they have perfect vision.
Offered all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not always be the perfect eye surgical treatment the way the majority of people view it
On the other hand, the examination of the structural part of the eye might be made in a number of ways. It must be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye you could try these out problem may have other problems. Frequently click here for more info other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can notify the doctor and the patient to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other signs provide themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction.

A larger number of auto accidents occur during the nighttime hours in Illinois and around the country than in daylight. That may seem counterintuitive, because there are a lot more vehicles on the roads during the day when people are traveling to work or school and/or running errands. One of the reasons that there are more accidents at night is because of the marked decrease in visibility even in well-lighted areas. This makes it more difficult to judge distances between vehicles when all drivers have for reference is a headlight or two.
In theory, judging distances during the daytime should be pretty easy – but serious accidents still occur.
One collision last month has left a man trying to recover from life-threatening injuries. On the afternoon of Tuesday, July 23 around 3pm, a 33-year old man was driving north on Martin Luther King Junior Drive in Springfield about 2/3 of a mile east of Interstate 55. Just before Clear Lake Avenue, a van traveling south on MLK turned left in front of him. The motorcycle struck the van, and the 33-year old had to be rushed to a nearby hospital with critical injuries. It's quite possible that the van's driver misjudged the distance between his or her vehicle and the bike before making the left turn.
From the information provided, it appears that the van's driver will be held primarily or solely responsible for the motorcycle accident. So if the motorcyclist wishes to do so, he could file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver of the van. This legal action could allow the victim to collect reimbursement for the undoubtedly hefty medical bills that he will be saddled with as a result of his hospitalization. He may also get compensation for unearned wages from missing work, and possibly even monetary damages for pain and suffering.

There are some topics in the digital marketing world that just keep getting dragged into the spotlight ad infinitum. "How to make a viral video", "How to get the maximum engagement on social media" "How to get people to endorse my brand", you get the point.
It's pretty straightforward why these happen: because no one really knows. When we are blindly trying to find our way out of such qualitative and seemingly random brain crunchers, we look for the stable, hard facts. The objective view that can justify our efforts or shed light onto strategies that went off track, the quantitative metrics: a number or a percentage that tells us if we're a grand success or an embarrassing failure.
Business needs objectivity to perform.
How much is too much?
Thing is, we've just got so much data available that we now need to sort. Do you actually need to be tracking all possible metrics? Are you going overboard and spending more resources on analysing the data than actually benefiting from the insights they can provide? What if you miss something really valuable because your ocean of data to start with was just simply too big?
All these questions become very valid at some point – the sooner the better – and it's good to have some guidance on what are the metrics we should definitely, maybe, or certainly never be looking at.
We need to start getting smarter about the way we analyse video data.
Apples and pears
You want to blow up the Internet with a ground breaking solution, or glide into your 25th Christmas sales smooth and strong? You can't find a magic set of metrics that will work for every objective at all times.
Just as your video had a clear goal for being created, your metrics will need to be aligned to the objective as well.
Now, before we dive in let's make this a bit more interactive. Rate the following 3 metrics according to their importance; we'll have a run at this again at the end and see if anything changed.
- Engagement
- Views
- Click through rates
Video metrics are only a fraction of the analytics that will determine the performance of your video. They fit into a larger digital strategy and so we've decided to give you an overview of metrics related to your video in phases: before, during and post viewing. If we want to be fancy this could be referred to as the consumer video journey, but we'll let that one be up for grabs for now.
Pre-viewing metrics
- Traffic flow referrals
- Play rate
The consumer journey starts before your video. They have to arrive to your site or channel to view it, or they have to click on their social media wall to play it (autoplay still sounds like a good idea, anyone?). Maybe it was via an e-mail campaign, an immediate organic search result leading to your landing page or the outcome of hours spent surfing on YouTube. Once they reached your video, we arrive to your first test: do they actually play it?
During viewing metrics
- Heat maps
- Views
- Hours watched
- Completion rates
- Retention rates
- Device spread
- Demographics
We've probably got the most metrics to pick from when it comes to the video analytics during video viewing (duh...). The base of course is views and hours watched, and then we can get it into more precise analytics like the completion or retention rates. Seeing where your audience lags off might be one of the most important ones, realising whether it's a smooth slope or a sudden plunge can give quick and useful insight.A more sophisticated form of video viewing behaviour are heat maps giving an overview not only of where the viewership drops en masse but even a per viewer breakdown of what part of the video is watched, re-watched or skipped.
The only other metrics here that would make our top 10 are audience metrics: justifying if all those views actually make sense: are you reaching your target, or is it completely off.
Post-viewing metrics
- Click-through-rates
- Conversion rates
- Leads generated
- Referrals of your landing page
- Qualitative metrics (the tone of comments how the audience feels about what they saw)
- Engagement (likes, comment, shares)
Their post-viewing activity is perhaps the most important part. After all, most objectives would not solely say: "We want consumers to view our video". They would read more like "We want them to view the video and … browse around the website, order a demo, scroll through the online shop, reach out for a quote, sign up to a newsletter, register to an event, share it on social media, invite a friend…" or a million other actions. Measuring how your viewers behave after viewing your video are the key metrics that you need to be looking at.
They are the various engagements where your video has a shot to start generating business.
Now, it's time to go back to our question at the beginning; just so you don't' have to scroll all the way up here are the 3 options:
- Social shares
- Views
- Click through rates

Social Media For Your Music Career
BreakOut West is not only an awesome event for seeing live music, but also a great opportunity for networking with the music world, and learning about the state of today's ever-changing industry.
This year's BreakOut West schedule includes a conference line-up of interesting and timely topics. I personally love attending conferences, because I believe there is always something new to be learned. So I took in a couple of sessions yesterday.
Going Viral: How Social Marketing Can Help Or Hurt Your Music was presented by Chris Brandt and Brian Thompson, online experts who spoke candidly about social media interaction. Here are the "Top 10 Tips" taken away from their session. Some are obvious, some not so obvious. But all useful:
10. Use social media to be 'social' – make people laugh, share areas of interest, talk about successes and failures, and engage people. Share funny cat photos and talk about your dog. Find things you have in common, and be part of a community. Etc.
9. Don't make social media just about selling. Always saying things like "buy this" or "come to my show" comes off as seeming desperate.
8. Apply the 80/20 rule – 80% of the time, don't talk about yourself… 20% of the time, talk about what you really want people to know (ie: what you are selling).
7. Don't talk about any one topic too much, or you risk becoming known as the "dog guy" or the "cat photo girl." Let your flow of information very naturally change from topic to topic.
6. Rephrase flat statements into questions, and generate conversation. For example, you can say "I had a great breakfast today" or you can say "I had a great breakfast today. What do you prefer – bacon or sausage?" Then you can walk away and let people comment, debate, and have fun.
5. A band's blog should be your website's landing page, so it will always different. That way, if the same person comes back to your site a few times, they will always have a different experience, which will make them more likely to keep coming back.
4. Youtube is now the #1 music player in the world, and bands need to be on there. Make interesting videos that show the personal side of you – in your bedroom with posters on the wall in the background, in your backyard on your patio, etc. Selectively share a little bit of your private self with the public.
3. People are becoming more and more visual, and like having something to look at when listening to a song. So instead of sharing audio links, nowadays, share links to Youtube that include audio and video, or audio and still images. Always make your music an audio/visual experience.
2. Put your music everywhere, but only 'promote' your website. Don't send people to iTunes or Reverbnation, because people will find you on other sites if they want to look for you there. You should always be promoting your own domain and sending people to your website, where you also sell your music directly.
1. Give your music away. Let people download it and share it, and help you grow that audience. The people who really dig what you are doing will buy your entire CD, go to your show, and purchase your merchandise. You can also add a 'tip jar' or 'donation' button for those who want to support you with money. Make it easy for them to do so!
The moral of the story… the downside is that if you want to be successful at social marketing, you have a lot of work to do. But the upside is that you can do it.
Today, all the tools are there, and are available to you either free, or very inexpensively. So be willing to invest a lot of time and a little bit of money into using social media to promote yourself, because the social media world is yours for the taking.

|I just picked a really nice batch of VIVIA ITALIAs which are a Roma type paste tomato. I deciced they would make great stewed tomatoes. Found a crockpot receipe and going to be making these tonight.
Aug 31, 2012 5:10 PM CST
|Well, they are in the crockpot cooking. Hope they turn out good. They should as these were such gorgeous Vivia Italia tomatoes. That is one thing that I really love about those Vivia Italias (besides the taste which is great) is that they make such lovely perfect looking tomatoes.
Sep 1, 2012 11:21 AM CST
|The stewed tomatoes turned out fabulous! Yummy, yummy. I will be making more since I am very pleased with this batch.
Sep 1, 2012 1:37 PM CST
I picked a nice batch of more Vivia Italias just now and since my first batch turned out so well I have decided I am going to stew these also. Will be blanching them a little later today.
Sep 1, 2012 2:19 PM CST
|mmmm...post the recipe?
Pets Cubit ** Hooked on Hoya **House Plants**

Sep 1, 2012 2:54 PM CST
|Crockpot Stewed tomatoes-
6 to 8 ripe tomatoes
2 tablespoons margarine
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
3 tablespoons sugar (more or less)
1 small bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Core tomatoes; place in boiling water for about 15 to 20 seconds, then into ice water to cool quickly; peel. Cut tomatoes in wedges. In Crock Pot, combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on low 8-9 hours. Remove bay leaf. Sprinkle top with parsley, if desired. Serve as a side dish or freeze in portions for soups or other recipes.
Serves 6.
I left out the chopped green pepper and I used 16 tomatoes but kept all the rest of the receipe the same as I don't like too much spicey. I ended up with a quart of stewed tomatoes. Oh yes, I only put a pinch of sugar.
Sep 2, 2012 10:11 AM CST
|Second batch turned out great also. This time I made a bigger batch so will be freezing it in portions later. My first batch made a quart and I would guess I have about three quarts this time, maybe more.

|Thank you for posting this, Rita!
Sep 4, 2012 11:25 AM CST
|The stewed tomatoes are really easy to makes, especially in the crockpot. Really taste much better than the canned stewed tomatoes I usually buy.
The receipe did not say paste tomatoes, just tomatoes but I decided my paste type Vivia Italias would be perfect for this. And they were!
