Before downloading, you need to select your OS version (viewable in the Wii's settings menu). To find this, click on Wii Options, go to Wii Settings. After filling in the words, you have a choice between clicking "Cut the red wire" or "Cut the blue wire." I clicked the "red wire" button, but as far as I can tell it doesn't make any difference which one you click. If your Wii is new and you have no messages, create a memo on your Wii before going on to the next step.
Go to page 2 of the settings, then click on "Internet". Enter the Mac Address displayed there in the appropriate area of the website page. To create a memo, go to the Wii Message Board by clicking the envelope in the little circle on the lower right corner of the main menu, then click on the create message icon, then the memo icon, then write and post a memo.
Things you will need: A Wii console An SD Card (formatted in FAT16 or FAT32) A computer with Internet Access An SD Card reader for your computer Things you should know: If you don't know what homebrew is, read my article.
The Wii was not designed by Nintendo to support homebrew.

With jobs becoming scarce, workers all over the world are being forced to decide between higher wages and job security. For most people, it is better to have a job and accept a lower standard of living than to seek wage increases.
The September 18-24 2004 edition of The Economist contained an article entitled Higher wages or more job security? It discussed the plight of Volkswagen, a German car manufacturer, and its workforce. The company had been facing stiff competition from other car manufacturers like General Motors, Toyota, Daimler-Chrysler and BMW. It was therefore considering a wage freeze for two years and a labour cost reduction of 30% by 2011, saying that if it did not do this, it would be forced to lay off 30,000 of its German workers. The workers' union on the other hand was demanding a 4% wage increase and a 10-year job security.
The article said that management was negotiating with the workers to opt for jobs rather than more money. The choice the workers were being given was "jobs or cash", and the article concluded that the workers might decide to keep their jobs for less pay, rather than continue pushing for increased pay and risk losing jobs.

RIP: Bullitt director Peter Yates
Director Peter Yates has passed away at age 81.
While while he worked behind the camera on noteworthy dramas (BREAKING AWAY), thrillers (THE DEEP, THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE) and comedies (MOTHER, JUGGS & SPEED), Yates will probably be best known for changing the way car chases were captured on film with 1968's BULLITT.
The Steve McQueen cop flick featured an infamous vehicle pursuit in which the A-list star himself was at the wheel of a Mustang Fastback bombing around the streets of San Francisco at speeds in excess of 100 mph. Yates was requested by McQueen for BULLITT after the actor saw his work on the heist movie ROBBERY.
Depending on your childhood, you may also have fond memories of KRULL, Yates' only foray into sci-fi/fantasy.
|Extra Tidbit:
|If you're a McQueen fan, the worthwhile documentary "STEVE MCQUEEN: THE ESSENCE OF COOL" features more BULLITT talk with Yates.

Jimmy Moffatt is seriously considering heading straight for the Grand National with Highland Lodge following his impressive victory over the famous Aintree fences in Saturday's Becher Chase.
Making his first appearance for the Cumbria-based trainer having previously shown smart form for Emma Lavelle, the nine-year-old raced from out of the handicap in the Merseyside feature but jumped brilliantly in the hands of Middleham-based jockey Henry Brooke on his way to running out a decisive winner.
Moffatt is now hopeful that a revised mark of 137 will be enough to earn Highland Lodge a starting berth in April.
"Everyone is asking about the National now and I think that's the way we've got to look," said Moffatt.
"He might need another pound or two to definitely get in the race, but the race is framed on its own and you'd like to think the handicapper will favour him a little bit because he's already proven himself there.
"He ticks a lot of boxes and it would be a shame if he didn't get in. You have 40 runners in the Grand National and after the way he jumped round there the other day, I think most people would like to see him as one of the 40 as he would offer something to the race.
"It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if we just gave him a couple of racecourse gallops and went straight there.
"I'm not sure you'd want to tinker too much by running him over regulation fences or hurdles.
"The National is worth £1million now, so I don't see much point in running him in a hurdle race worth £5,000 in the meantime.
"There is a prep race at Kelso that I think Ballabriggs ran in before winning the National a few years ago (2011), so that might be something we look at, but at the moment I'm tempted to go straight to Aintree."

Things have certainly changed for that ol' cowboy.
The same thing has happened to our romances, as well.
The only heat level we had back then was sweet. No sex. No mention of sex. No body parts perking up when the love interest sauntered onto the scene. Then we moved into the arena of closed bedroom door sex and the ensuing pregnancy. Now? Well, now, we've got choices--and that's a good thing, don't you think?
I've written sweet and sensual, bordering on "hawt."
As a reader, I prefer hawt to kink. What are your preferences? How hot do you like your romances?

text: Dear Annie, I am a seventh-grade boy, and I have a very big problem with another boy in my grade. "George" is extremely annoying. He pesters me all the time. He never lets me concentrate in class, he follows me everywhere, even into the bathroom, and constantly tells me about every single thing he has ever read, heard on TV or seen in a movie. He gives me massages, on the shoulders, in the middle of class, which makes me very uncomfortable. I would tell him just to leave me alone, but George is twice as big as I am, and I'm afraid he will hurt me. Does he have some kind of psychological disorder that makes him unbearably attached to me? How can I make him stop? Really Annoyed and Frustrated Dear Annoyed, George admires you and wants to be friends, but his behavior is intrusive and inappropriate. Explain nicely and casually that real friends give each other a little more space, and that you like talking to him, but he has to stop following you around so much, and no more massages, because they make you uncomfortable. If he becomes belligerent or won't stop, you should tell the school counselor. Dear Annie, My wife passed away six weeks ago. She suffered from Alzheimer's, and in the last five years, she recognized no one, including me, even though I was with her constantly. In her last two years, she reverted to her early childhood. During this time, I developed a very cordial relationship with a widow whose husband passed away 11 years ago. She and her husband were friends of ours. How long is it necessary for us to remain at arm's length before we can be seen by our families and friends in a closer "hands on" relationship? Wondering Widower Dear Widower, There's no time period that is proper to resume dating. Start whenever you are ready. If you think your families will have a hard time with it, you might want to introduce the relationship gradually. Dear Annie, I always enjoy your column, but I think your answer to "Happy but Annoyed in Florida" probably annoyed her even more. She wanted people to stop nagging her about finding a guy, and you basically joined the crowd. "Happy" sounds well adjusted to me. She's confident and someone who likes herself and her life. She will certainly attract the right guy eventually. As we have always heard (even from you), love often comes when you are not looking. Everyone should just leave her alone. Roxanne in New York Dear Roxanne, We knew we were going to get slammed for that response, but sit in our shoes for a moment, reading thousands of letters from single people in their 30s, 40s and 50s, who find the dating pool has shrunk and regret not paying more attention when they were younger. We don't believe everyone needs a mate, and we certainly don't think people should rush into relationships and have said so, but most people eventually hope to find that special someone. We don't want "Happy" writing us in 10 years saying she wished she'd had more dating experience when she was in college. ANNIE'S MAILBOX KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR

This was a fantastic experience! I really liked the concept that other players influence you, and that whether you live or die is based on the kindness (or lack thereof) of another player. I would love to see more of this.

Winter garden
With the Pineapple Express atmospheric river keeping the weather warm and wet, I've been able to establish a winter garden. My tree-shaded yard doesn't do well with sunny fruiting plants but excels at turning out greens and brassicas. In one of my raised beds I have a broccoli plant given to me by a friend, mustard greens and winter lettuce from nursery starts, and cilantro and kale from seed I've saved. This year I'm hoping to produce fresh greens all winter, protected from the driving rain by a plastic cap.

Kesha sues producer Dr. Luke, Witherspoon premieres "Wild"
The day's top showbiz news and headlines including Kesha sues music producer Dr. Luke, Reese Witherspoon premieres ''Wild'' in London, and Tim Rice is honored. Bob Mezan reports.
Kesha has sued pop hit-making music producer Dr. Luke to let her out of her record contract, accusing him of sexual, physical, verbal and emotional abuse. The pop star has been under contract to record for Dr. Luke's music production company and record label since 2005. Dr. Luke has struck back, however, filing his own suit against the singer - accusing Kesha of trying to extort him and making up stories in order to get out of her contract. Reese Witherspoon walked a rain-soaked red carpet in London for the European premiere of her latest film, "Wild." The Oscar-winning actress was all smiles - until she almost took a tumble on the carpet, but quickly regained composure. "Wild" hits theaters in December. Finally, legendary lyricist Sir Tim Rice was honored by music royalty organization BMI with the special Icon Award at a ceremony in London. Rice, known for writing the lyrics to musicals such as 'Jesus Christ Superstar' and 'The Lion King', received the award which recognizes songwriters who have had a 'unique influence on generations of music makers.'

The quality of delivery of elbow fittings is mainly related to the following aspects:
First, the wall thickness of the pipe is uneven
The unequal thickness of the wall thickness of the bent pipe is mainly in the parts of the maximum deformation of the pipe, such as the wall of the elbow on the back of the elbow, and the wall thickness of the pipe body and the pipe body. According to the relevant national standards, it is difficult to find the common caliper and other measuring tools for the examination of such problems. Only by using the ultrasonic thickness gauge can it be detected.
Two. The hardness exceeds the standard
The problem of super standard hardness of pushing elbow is mainly due to the heat treatment process after forming. The solution is to use the correct heat treatment process to heat treatment again.
Three, defects produced in the process of material and processing
Pushing the elbow is the most harmful to the safety of the device. The factors that produce the defects are more and more complicated. It has defects as well as the defects of the material itself and the process of processing and the incorrectness of the heat treatment process.

A duo are to mark the release of a new album with a tour coming to Dunton Folk Club.
Material from The Watchmaker's Wife by Miranda Sykes and Rex Preston can be heard at the club near Biggleswade on Saturday April 30.
Although not a parable of their personal lives, is most certainly a reflective, powerful and moving collection of tales of love and loss. There is some traditional songs and delivered in a way that maintains the dignity of the old songs.
The pair didn't set out to create an album with love and loss as a theme, but in the thick of it all, when they just sat back and let out what came naturally, that's what they got.
Rex for the first time showcases original songs alongside original material from Boo Hewerdine.
Miranda and Rex perform their respective instruments – double bass and mandolin/bouzouki - and they aim to keep things as honest as they dare to reflect their live performances.
The songs shout very loudly for themselves with only a smattering of sharp and contemporary production gloss.
Well known for the last 11 years as a central component of Show of Hands, Miranda has an exquisite and spine-tingling voice, whilst Rex, with his exuberant and flamboyant playing style, has built a reputation as one of the finest mandolin players in the UK.
The rare fusion of double bass and mandolin makes for one of the most exciting and powerful pairings on the acoustic roots scene.
Miranda and Rex interweave lively original material with timeless, well chosen covers of both contemporary and traditional songs.
Their backgrounds, as well as skilful instrumentation and warm engaging vocals have shaped their unique sound.
For further information about the event or to book tickets in advance call the box office on 07807 535110.

The Tree of Light on the corner of East and South Street in Horncastle will be lit up this Friday at 6.30pm by Mayor, Sandra Campbell Wardman.
All the lights will have been sponsored by those wishing to remember at Christmas someone in the family or a special friend who has died.
Donors have been invited to attend and there will be a simple ceremony when all the names on the Tribute List will be read out.
The Tree of Light project is run by the town's Rotary and Lions Clubs working together and raises funds for hospices serving the Horncastle area. In recent years over £12,000 has been raised in this way.
It is not too late to sponsor a light.
Forms are still available from Fletcher and Hughes or from A Stanley Electrical Suppliers in the High Street.
Alternatively applications can be made on line through www.horncastletreeoflight.com
Next week your Horncastle News will be publishing the completed Tribute List.

As we near the end of one year, and, by God's grace, enter into a new one, I wanted to submit a few book and music recommendations for your edification and enjoyment:
1. Between the Beginning and the End: A Radical Kingdom Vision (J.H. Bavinck)
In this recently translated (2014) book by J.H. Bavinck, the Dutch missiologist paints a picture of redemptive history through the lens of biblical theology. Drawing on sociology, history, and mythology, Bavinck addresses major themes, symbols, and persons with great insight. Though I would not necessarily call it a "radical kingdom vision", his description of the in-breaking of the Kingdom in the person and work of Christ is both beautiful and awe-inspiring.
2. Brilliant Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Football (David Winner)
This is a quirky book that blends history and humor, art and culture, as well as faith and football, to tell the story of a people (the Dutch) and their particular style of football. Winner does well to capture the essence of the Dutch approach to the sport (and, by association, many other aspects of life) and how it has shaped the country. A must read for anyone who enjoys sports, history, cultural studies, or simply an enjoyable read.
3. Desiring the Kingdom: Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation (James K.A. Smith)
Probably my top recommendation. In this volume--the first of three--James K.A. Smith addresses the oft-ignored subject of desire, and the formation of our lives (and desires) towards the Kingdom of God. Chock full of invaluable cultural insights, Smith exposes the false kingdoms we are all too often shaped by, and the things that hijack our desires. But he goes further still, pointing to the liturgy of gathered worship as a means of reoriented and renewing our desires at Christ and His Kingdom. Desiring the Kingdom is a wonderful read for, and provides helpful challenges to, those in vocational ministry, those who plan corporate worship, as well as for lay leaders, students, and faculty members alike.
4. Double Indemnity (James Cain)
The last book I want to highlight is a novel written by James Cain. Double Indemnity tells the story of Walter Ness, and insurance salesmen whose lust and greed lead him to commit a terrible crime. Without spoiling the plot, I can say that this novel is expertly written; short, to the point, and compelling in its narrative structure. Cain's novel lays bear the temptations common to many of us, and the destructive effects of sin.
1. Emmanuel Lux (Koine)
A talented Lutheran band from Wisconsin, Koine has several albums I could put on this list, but this album of advent hymns is particularly relevant to the season. Taking theologically rich songs like "Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending," and "Savior of the Nations, Come," and setting them to modern instrumentation, Koine has produced a powerful, beautiful, and enjoyable collection that I think can find use in our churches as well as in our homes.

Reiki is a Japanese word, "Rei" meaning Universe, and "Ki" meaning Energy.
Reiki is an ancient form of hands-on energy healing that was rediscovered in the nineteenth century by Dr. Mikao Usui.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing for the person receiving the treatment. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki gently balances the chakras and energy field that surrounds the body as well as soothing physical and emotional complaints
A gentle therapy, Reiki is excellent for:
- Alleviating persisting pain or discomfort from illness, injury, disease, trauma or stress
- Increasing energy levels that are depleted from illness, injury, trauma or life change
- Creating harmony and balance in the body, mind and spirit

Wings 3, Blackhawks 2 (OT)
The last game before the Wings' Christmas break proved to be a wild one, with two late Wings goals tying it to send it to overtime, and a Pavel Datsyuk buzzer-beater as time expired in the extra session. It made for the Wings' third straight win, and sixth win in their last ten. It also secured their place at the top of the Central Division, with the Predators threatening a share of the top spot with a win earlier tonight. It's now 51-49 Wings in the Central Division points race - the Predators with three games in hand. The Wings lead the season series against Chicago 4-0, and are 10-1-0 in the Central Division. Pathetic. It's easily the worst division in hockey today. The first period opened with the Blackhawks carrying most of the energy, and the Wings hanging on until their two first period power play chances. The Wings' best chance of the period came at 14:55 when Shanahan carried the puck from behind Khabibulin and beat him far side with a wrister - only to hit the post. Chicago scored the only first period goal at 19:20, on a follow-up goal from Arnason. On the play, Jason Williams muffed the puck around center ice left boards, and Mark Bell stole it and crashed the net. The rebound came out to a trailing Arnason, who easily beat a sprawling Ozzie. 1-0 Chicago. Apparently Arnason was benched in the Blackhawks' last game, the team struggling and desperate to get its players going. So it was nice to see the guy get a goal, though not at the Wings' expense. And not at Williams' expense. It was a terrible giveaway as he tried to pass the puck to himself along the boards, and just got beat by a hustling Bell. Shots 11-8 Chicago in the first. The second period was much like the first for the Wings. They were outhustled and beat in the corners by the home team. It really was a boring period, with the Wings on their heels most of the time. The best chance came off of a Kris Draper shot around the 12 minute mark but it hit the post. Chicago scored the only goal of the period on another bad Wings giveaway. This time four Wings players were caught in the offensive zone after the puck was coughed up, and former Wing Martin Lapointe (now #22) carried the puck into the Wings zone with a 3-on-1. It was a give-and-go, Lapointe passing to Barnaby at center, before getting the puck back on the right side and tapping it in behind Ozzie. 2-0 Chicago. It was also an interesting goal by Lapointe, because he had recently blasted his teammates' effort in the last few games. Words backed up. But I didn't appreciate his goal as much Arnason's. Lapointe left Detroit to cash in on his one good season in 2000-2001. He missed the Wings' Cup run in 2002, and hasn't done anything since his breakout 27 G, 30 A last season with the Wings. Ten seasons with the Wings - the team that drafted him in '91 and had him pegged as the next captain. What a loser. Shots 13-9 Chicago in the second. The third period was much better for the Wings. They had probably triple the quality chances from the previous 40 minutes. Henrik Zetterberg and Brendan Shanahan had the most chances, and the night was summed up on one play. As Holmstrom found himself open in front of Khabibulin, certain to score, his stick broke as he attempted a shot. It was a frustrating moment for all Wings fans, but I couldn't help but feel especially bad for those fans who had made the trip from Detroit for this game. The Chicago-Detroit game is always a special one in the United Center, but the Wings were really flat for much of this game. A few minutes after I was feeling sorry for the Wings fans in the United Center, Ozzie was pulled and a comeback was staged. At 19:21, Kris Draper scored on a redirection of a Jason Woolley point shot. It wasn't the normal redirection that you'd imagine, but more of a shot by Draper, between the circles, that snuck in under the top corner. 2-1 Chicago. After the faceoff at center, the Wings were called for offsides at 19:28. Datsyuk won the neutral zone faceoff, and the Wings gained the Chicago zone. With time about to expire, the Wings scored on a point shot from Lidstrom at 19:53. It was a controversial goal, as Khabibulin was knocked into by Lang I think it was, and he started arguing the call as he was getting beat by the Lidstrom shot. It fell on deaf ears though. 2-2 tie. Assists from Lang and Datsyuk. Shots in the period were 17-5 Wings. The overtime was pretty uneventful, and it looked like a shootout was all but certain. Babcock was ready with his Williams-Datsyuk-Zetterberg shootout picks, but twas not to be. In the same style as their last second tying of the game, the Wings got a late goal from Datsyuk at 4:59 to make it a 3-2 win. It was a power play goal, as Duncan Keith was called for tripping at 1:52. On the play, Datsyuk took a shot from the right circle, and, as the puck crossed the line, the green light went on instead of the red light. Everyone in the United Center thought the game was headed to a shootout, but it turns out the goal judge didn't have time to react to the puck crossing the line before the green light went on: the red light can't go on after the green one is triggered. The refs initially waved it no-goal, but went upstairs to review the play. All the viewers on FSN were left in suspense, as the station didn't have a replay of the play showing time remaining in the same frame. Definitely something NFL or NBA coverage would surely have with their billion dollar TV deals, but such is the price of local coverage of the Wings. Hopefully they get that fixed for the next time it happens. The refs pointed to center ice - it was a goal! The only replay I saw was the puck crossing the line and the green light going on a few frames later, but nothing with how much time was actually left. Nothing scientific, and I wonder if anyone upstairs had the time remaining to look at or if they just "eye-balled" it with comparing when the green light went on. Martin Lapointe was very mad at the refs after the goal, and received a 10 minute misconduct. Says Lapointe:
"The overtime calls hurt the game. It's a big game, a big rivalry. The refs should let us play. I guess this is the new NHL. To lose a game on a cheap penalty is not the way to play hockey."It was a great comeback win for the Wings, to be able to score two goals in the last minute of a otherwise sloppy game to force overtime and pull off a last second overtime win. Wings fans are used to these types of comebacks, but it doesn't really make me feel better for the three hours I spent watching this game. I was really bored/frustrated until the third period, when the Wings started playing hard, and even then pucks were hitting the post or sticks were breaking at inopportune times. It just felt like one of those nights where nothing could possibly go right - which made it really weird when 15 minutes later the Wings were headed to the dressing room with a win. Final shots were 37-31 Wings. The Wings played with only 11 forwards. Some notable lines. Opening the game was Datsyuk-Shanahan-Draper, with Datsyuk-Shanahan-Zetterberg the most used-line in the third.

Today is a very sad day at the Canadian Forces Base in Trenton, Ontario. Sgt. Janick Gilbert returned there today after giving his life to save a couple of strangers near Baffin Island in Canada's Artic Region.
Gilbert and two other soldiers parachuted into the frigid waters near Igloolik, Nunavut, in an effort to rescue two boaters who appeared to be in serious trouble.
There is no official word on what caused his death, but parachuting into the water will have some obvious risks.
He is being remembered as a man who was the "consummate professional" who had a strong sense of duty and service to others.
A Vancouver Sun report on his death quoted Colonel Sean Friday:
"A brilliant operator with thirteen years of experience, Sgt. Gilbert will be sorely missed by all within the SAR (Search and Rescue) Tech trade and by all those who have had the pleasure of making his acquaintance," Friday said in a statement. "His laughter and 'joie de vive' are only some of the many positive attributes that were so cherished by those who knew him.
"Janick lived by what the SAR community believes in and exemplified the meaning of rescue; he gave his life (so) 'that others may live.'"
Prime Minister Harper also offered his condolences in a written statement.
"The Canadian Armed Forces' search-and-rescue technicians are some of the best trained in the world, and have saved thousands of lives nationwide. Sgt. Gilbert was an extremely brave Canadian who made the ultimate sacrifice while proudly serving his country."

A while back I wrote a post called "Why I Love My Dacia".
Over the past few weeks my beloved car has been put to the test, and I am more satisfied with it than ever.
A few weeks ago I got a call in the middle of the night from a friend whose car had broken down in Füzesabony and needed me to tow him to Debrecen. His car had actually broken down while he was towing someone else. Dacia did great towing his car 100 km to Debrecen.
Last week we took a family trip - and put almost 3000 km on the car.
It ran great and fit all our stuff comfortably. It had no problem in the alps, even with 6 people and a bunch of stuff weighing it down.
Here's how the trip went:
Day 1: Eger - Millstatt, Austria. 775 km.
Day 2: Millstatt - Freilassing, Germany - Millstatt. 312 km.
Went to pick up my friend who came by train from Germany.
Day 3: Millstatt - Gmünd, Austria - Tarvisio, Italy - Millstatt. 191 km.
We went to a Porsche museum in Gmünd, and then went to Italy to eat lunch and visit a scenic lake in the mountains.
Day 4: Millstatt - Salzburg - Millstatt. 317 km.
Taking my friend back to the train station.
Day 5: Millstatt - Grado, Italy - Millstatt. 448 km.
Went to the beach in Italy. Had a great time, with great weather.
Day 6: Millstatt - Eger. 775 km.
Total: 2818 km (1751 mi.)
It was a good trip, but we're glad to be out of the car...

Ventura County growers scrambled early Wednesday to beat back a bone-chilling freeze, firing up orchard heaters, wind machines and even helicopters in all-night battles to protect their crops.
Minor damage was reported in some of the coldest pockets of the county. But most growers escaped serious problems as predictions of the lowest temperatures in years--as low as 23 degrees in the citrus-rich Ojai Valley--never came to pass.
Frost protection efforts, which have forced growers to operate on little sleep since the start of the week, were aided by winds that prevented temperatures from plummeting as expected.
Agricultural officials were hoping that light winds would prevail through this morning to again stave off the threat to crops.
"We dodged a bullet, no question about it," said Earl McPhail, the county's agricultural commissioner. "Everybody I know came through this real well."

The book cover is related to this essay at The Root, How Did Blacks Travel During Segregation? - The Negro Motorist Green Book was helpful for navigating Jim Crow America.
To Mitt Romney Apologists Having Blind Investments is The Same Thing as Hiding Money in Switzerland and The Cayman Islands
Mitt Romney and his right-wing media allies appear to be going into full-panic mode over the Obama campaign's increasingly successful efforts to define Romney as a hopelessly out-of-touch multimillionaire.
Obama is leading in swing states where the president's campaign and pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA have run ads attacking Romney's record as a corporate predator who put Americans out of work by sucking the life out of their companies and sending their jobs overseas.
[I]n toss-up states, 16 percent say Bain is a reason to support Romney, while 32 percent say it's a reason to oppose him. More people have an opinion on Romney's business record, too. In February, 36 percent said Romney cut jobs while 32 percent said he created them. Now 40 percent say he cut them and 36 percent say he created them.
Today, Romney began hitting back against the Obama attacks. Well, "hitting back" might be too strong a term. "Nanny-nanny boo boo" is more accurate:
No you're the "outsourcer-in-chief."
In what has become a signature move for Mitt Romney, Republicans are trying to rebut attacks against their nominee by accusing President Obama of doing the exact same thing. Or something vaguely related to it.
The substance (for want of a better term) of the Romney counter-slap is his claim that money from the American Recovery Act allegedly went to companies that employed some foreign workers.
In addition to the candidate's pushback, at least one right-wing media outlet is trying to help Romney deflect criticism of his personal finances, including questions about his unreleased tax returns, and the vast sums of money he is reported to have hidden away in tax havens such as Bermuda and Switzerland.
The Weekly Standard is out with a report that it apparently hopes will expose Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz as a hypocrite for demanding that Romney come clean about his finances. The website's scoop: that the DNC chair has some of her own money invested in "Swiss Banks, Foreign Drug Companies, and the State Bank of India:"
But disclosure forms reveal that in 2010, Wasserman Schultz invested between $1,001-$15,000 in a 401k retirement fund run by Davis Financial Fund. As the fund discloses, it is invested in the Julius Baer Group Ltd. and the State Bank of India GDR Ltd., as well as other financial, insurance, bank institutions.
The report does not appear to be a satire. The Weekly Standard is seriously suggesting there is an equivalence between a few thousand dollars in a managed 401k and hundreds of millions of dollars shielded from U.S. taxes in Swiss bank accounts and offshore shell corporations.
This panicked, flailing reaction tells you everything need to know about the narrative Obama is crafting against Romney: it's working.
Right on cue, the wingnut blogosphere is all, "Yeah, so THERE!!1!"
PJ Tatler:
If overseas investments are "toxic" for Romney, they're also toxic for the Democrat Party chairman hand-picked for that role by President Barack Obama.
Daily Caller (Jim Treacher):
Overseas investments are bad except when they're not. And one way to tell they're okay is when they're made by Democrats.
Oh, and DWS won't release her tax returns, either. Again: she's a Democrat. The same standard doesn't apply to her. Duh.
These right-wing Anti-American nitwits want everyone to believe that Mitt Romney is a financial genius that knows what he is doing - that means he knows that hiding funds in Switzerland and the Cayman Islands is very different from the people who handle your 401k have a diversity of investments. Hiding money versus investments. See how simple that is. If they were the same thing we would use the same WORDS to describe them. When the average person puts money into their 401k do they think they are hiding money in foreign accounts.
Memo to Republicans... Entrepreneurship is Actually Declining Thanks to Policies Like Yours
Mitt Romney or Mr Morality, lied about leaving Bain in 1999

This is why such a soul experiences excessive sadness and despair soon as signs of its own lack of integrity show up, with the consequence that it immediately feels unacceptable to God. That's why a sick soul is always hiding the truth from itself, the mechanism for which is endless self-justification. And why the correction of such a soul is always taken as rejection.
On Helping Souls That Are Being Tried
Do not lose your serenity on account of those who are being tried. Pray for them; offer the sufferings of My Passion and some acts of self-denial, some self-imposed sufferings for them."
Jesus to Sister Mary of the Holy Trinity
When souls are being tried, what they need from you is deeper love of Me—so that, through you, I may give them the grace they need. So you see, you need your serenity even more at such times. Do not try to buy peace for souls by losing your own! Offer up your act of self-denial at such times, so that the soul who is suffering may get the grace to accept in joy what she cannot change—through your free offering of love. You will see more and more how you are all instruments in the communication of My Love, for one another as for yourselves. The more you will understand that, the more you will love one another.
On Feeling Unloved
Only the realization that I love you now, I, Jesus, who know all your misery, all your sins, the failure of your whole life, only the knowledge that I Who know how underserving you are of anyone's love, yet love you nevertheless with the Love of God Himself, can take away the pain and anxiety of feeling unloved by so many persons, and not undeservedly.
The Age of St. Bernard's is not like Ours.
St. Bernard, commenting on the
Song of Songs
"Or perhaps, drawn away and seduced by his own concupiscence, he is still being dangerously tempted. Such a soul as this does not need a Bridegroom but a Physician, and for this reason receives, not kisses or caresses, surely, but only remedies for wounds in oil and ointments."
Yes, Bernard, in your time this was true — for the time had not yet come to force men willy-nilly from the highways and byways to the wedding feast. Men were still strong and able to overcome concupiscence with a help of the Physician less than the Kiss of His Mouth, less than the embrace of His intimacy. But now we are as children, impatient as we are weak, and needing, therefore, to be fondled and kissed by the Mother and her spouse, by Mary and Jesus. 0 Bernard, those of your age, who could help yourselves, needed the Physician only to supply the ointments of which you speak. But we need the Kiss of this Bridegroom who condescends to the weakness of little ones, like this little one who is too weak to help himself and therefore cries out:
Let him kiss me with the kiss of his mouth, for thy breasts are better than wine. For my justification now is not that I am healed by the ointments of the Physician, but that I am in the arms of His Mother, that it is her purity that makes me worthy of His embrace, not my virtue
If Something Is Painful
It seems I always assume that if something is painful, it is evil and to be avoided. Then, when I am suffering, I begin to think, and I do not rest until I have discovered some truth which I hope will remove the pain. But I do not think I do this only because I want to avoid suffering: it is rather that I look upon suffering as a sign that I am wrong somehow, that God is displeased with me, and therefore something in me must be changed.

"We adore, Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee because by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world."
Then kneel)
"As you see me falling, understand My falling as a falling with you as you fall, with you and in you. Do you see how quickly I fell on My way? That was to reassure you in your falls, to show you how much I understand your weaknesses, and how anxious I am to be with you in your failures, to convince you that we are falling together. Yes, that is what happens when you fall: I fall with you so that you may have My strength to rise with Me, so that we fall and rise together, I always with My Beloved.
"I permit you to fall only to make your love of Me pure, to teach you to love Me only because I am so Good, to teach you how much I love you no matter how weak and wretched you are in yourself. That is your most important lesson: you have to know how much I love you in order to be able to love Me as I want to be loved. Do you understand this, that your love of Me is only the reality of your permitting Me to love you, of your letting Me love you by believing in My Love? They are not two things, My loving you and your loving Me. No! The reality of My loving you, the reality of your receiving My Love, is that you are loving Me—just as the reality of the fire heating the water is in the water's becoming hot. It is so important for you to see this; it has so much to do with the purity of your love! Yes, the purity of your love! For your love is pure when it contains only what comes from Me, when you give Me only what I have given you. As soon as you try to love Me with a love that does not come from Me, your love becomes impure. Think here of the words sung by My most pure Mother: 'Henceforth all generations shall call me blessed: for He who is mighty hath done great things to me.' What does she see in herself, she who is all pure? She sees herself exactly as I see her; that is her purity. She sees herself entirely in Me, she sees everything in herself in Me, coming from Me even as she possesses it. When she loves Me, she knows that her love of Me is My Love of Myself, that she has nothing which she has not received from Me, that she glorifies Me just in this, that My Glory is known in her, by her.
"Therefore, think very much of this, that I ask you only to give Me what I have given you, to love Me with My Love; and realize, therefore, that the reason and purpose of everything you do is to allow me to act in you. And the more you try to do this, the more you will believe in My Love for you—because you will have permitted Me to give it to you more. You must use your freedom for this alone, to allow Me to act in you, to live in you. And the more you permit Me to love you, the more I will show you what you are in yourself, your utter misery without Me — not to reject you, but to draw you more and more closely to My Heart. It is My delight to see you trust Me more and more as you see more and more of your own misery. It is My joy to give you this precious grace of boundless trust in My Love for you. That is how I sanctify you; that is how you become Me."
(And now say Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be to the Father, O Jesus, forgive us our sins, etc. As you rise to walk to the next Station, say:
"Jesus, Mary, I love you! Save souls!"
three times, to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.)
(Genuflect, saying:
"We adore, Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee because by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world."

"As I saw My Mother, I saw you, My beloved child, in her and she saw you in Me. That is Our Love for you. Can you understand it a little? Our Love for you is Our Love for one another. As we look at each other, We are thinking of you, loving you. Without saying a word, My Mother understands that I am being taken away from her so that she may love you, that she may love Me in you. It is through her love of you, her seeing Me in you, that you become Me. That is the model of your love, to love others, not for what they are in themselves, but for what they are in Me, for what I made them to be, to love Me in them.
"Now, as you contemplate our meeting, do not think of it as our meeting by ourselves! This is not the reality of Our Love. It is you who are Our Love of One another; it is you we are meeting in One another.
"As you see your Mother's broken heart while she looks at Me, realize that her pity is for you, for Me in you, that she is sending Me to My death so that she can love you, that she wills to be separated from Me in order to love you. You need so very much to understand your Mother's love, and to believe in it! 'They have made me the keeper of the vineyards; my vineyard I have not kept.' I am her Vineyard Whom they took away from her. You are the vineyard she is keeping.
"But see! She is not grieving for Me alone—because now she sees you going to your death; she sees you in Me, and Me in you. As she looks at Me, she knows it is you in Me whom she is sending to his death. See! She is that Rachel, hers that voice of lamentation, of mourning and weeping, weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted for them, because they are not.
"Can you see that it is only by her love of you that you are here with Me? She whose life is to love Me wills to be separated from Me, Her Life, so that she may be able to love you. But do not try now, because you are too little to understand her love for you yet. You will have to grow in her, by learning to die with Me, in her, in order to understand her love. It is enough, now, the little that you do understand."
(And now say Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be to the Father, O Jesus, forgive us our sins, etc. As you rise to walk to the next Station, say:
"Jesus, Mary, I love you! Save souls!"
three times, to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.)

Yes, my dishes. I bought them the summer before my sophomore year of college with money I made waiting tables at On the Border. I loved them so much at the time and they have lasted me ten years. However, the time has come to say sayonara to my swirly, colorful dishes.
When I bought these, my version of cooking was pouring ranch dressing on my plate to go with my delivery pizza. Nothing that required more work than boiling was ever served on them until they were very nicely worn in.
I have come a long way in the last ten years, and have decided to get plates that can properly showcase the things that lovingly come out of my kitchen. So no more patterns, no more swirls, no more colors. I want white, simple, with clean lines.
So here's where you come in! I have found two styles that I love, but can't decide between them. One is more classic with the round edge all around it and the other is more modern and pretty much perfectly flat. I need help!
A little inspiration on my style and what my kitchen currently looks like:
Aspen vs. Essential by nataliecay on Polyvore.com
And my two options:
So foodies, newlyweds, bloggers, or anyone else that might have an interest in such matters as The Perfect White Plate... any thoughts, preferences, or words of wisdom? I am literally torn 50/50 so I welcome your feedback with open arms.

After a trip to Tanzania, Alice Fuller, a trained midwife from London, decided she wanted to use her midwifery skills abroad. She worked with Doctors of the World in 2009 in Ethiopia. Her main tasks were focused on improving maternal child health. Based in a main town in the Somali region, with one of the only functioning hospitals, Doctors of the World supports the local regional health bureau who are in the process of rehabilitating the hospital.
Alice trained traditional birth attendants with the knowledge and skills to safely manage normal birth. The course was designed to aid the identification of high risk pregnancies and potential complications in labour. There is a particular focus on the need for early referrals both to reduce delays in women receiving appropriate medical care and to prevent avoidable maternal deaths.

Skin is the most important organ of the body. To me, I feel the natural beauty to be maintained for longer. But, it is not possible because the aging signs come definitely on the surface of the skin on the someday. If I talk about my skin, then I became very hopeless when my facial skin used to get wrinkles, deep pores, low hydration, reduced moisturization, dark circles, and other possible symptoms of the aging. I never believed in applying the skin care products to the skin to get younger and maintain the natural beauty.
But I had to go with it because there was no option in front of me that could take me to enjoy the elegant and younger skin for a long time. So, I chose the Altrina Cream and of course, it has helped me to recover the natural looking skin within a few days of its regular application. It is an effective skin care cream to opt for. I really want to recommend this product to others because it will definitely work for your skin of any complexion, tone, and type. I have managed to write a review about this product to make other people informed of it. So, start reading my unbiased review:
What is all about the Altrina Cream?
According to me, Altrina Cream is an alternative to Botox or other plastic surgeries available in the skin care industry. It is a cream, which can make your skin look elegant. Making your facial skin look younger, healthier, and full of attractiveness is very easy with the assistance of this effective and natural skin care product. This cream has currently launched in the skin care industry with many attractive features and benefits. When the ingredients are absorbed into the skin, it will start functioning on your skin. By entering greatly into your skin, it will result in the enhanced and developed complexion and tone, giving you a unique look and feel. Designed to meet your skin care needs and preferences, it will really enhance the glow and radiance of the skin.
It has reduced my wrinkles, enhanced the hydration by going deeply into the skin, improved the complexion, and many others. The serum is useful to promote the glowing and elegance feature of the skin. The serum works on the attack of the aging signs, providing with an instant relief to your skin. As soon as you start applying this serum, it will begin to defy the signs of aging, such as crow's feet, under-eye circles, wrinkles, and no hydrated skin. So, I assure that this product will really be going to make you notice a great change in the flakiness, redness, and irritation in the skin.
What are the ingredients of the Altrina Cream?
According to the maker of the product, they have guaranteed that all of the ingredients they have used in this skin care cream are natural and potent, revealing no side effects on the skin. The cream has fast-acting, natural, and excellent components, which are known as anti-aging ingredients to eradicate those signs of aging, which are the base of ugliness in women after the 30s. The two ingredients are responsible for its effective functioning on your skin of any type and tone. These are antioxidants and peptides
They comprise of different skin care properties, which take your skin to see a great change in the collagen and elastin levels. They are known as skin-firming agents as they work to boost the skin proteins in the facial skin. With the enhanced skin proteins, it can help you to boost flexibility as well as firmness at the same time.
This cream is also having a sufficient amount of antioxidants in its composition, which carry the capacity to hold the nourishment and moisture to the skin. By absorbing all the antioxidants in the skin, your face will look moisturized, hydrated, and nourished, as they sit on the entire surface of the skin. Moreover, these agents are also powerful to prevent toxin damage to your skin. There will be no free radical harm to your skin while using it.
How does the Altrina Cream work?
This question is a matter of concern when you are going to rely on any skin care product. The reason is that not all of the creams are effective and proven to work. By knowing the working of the product, you will be able to stay free of the stress that it will really help you at any cost. Most of the products sit on the entire surface skin, Altrina Cream is far different from others, as it does not sit, even it goes under the skin and deposit on the skin cells, which are the root cause of every skin issue or sign of aging. By depositing on this part of the skin, the product starts increasing the amount of collagen as well as elastin in the skin.
By doing so, it gives an enhanced boost to the elasticity of the skin while increasing the hydration of the skin. Slowly and slowly, it works to reduce the depth of wrinkles, fold lines, and darkness of the dark circles. When all of the aging signs are completely removed from your skin, your face will look energetic, active, and refreshed.
Is the Altrina Cream clinically proven to work and safe on your skin?
This is the major reason why women should show their trust in this product. Of course, it is a clinically proven and approved solution that can take place of the Botox and other surgeries in the list when you are considering a safe way to look younger. The cream has taken a charge of many clinical trials and studies that make sure it can work well on any type of the skin. It has been tested on a number of groups of women, who all have different opinions, but all are positive.
Women have tested this product and continued with its use. This way, they have started looking elegant, attractive, and wrinkle-free.
Are there any side effects of applying the Altrina Cream?
No, there are no side effects a woman will have when she will apply this cream as per the right directions mentioned on the tag of the container. After the 30s, it should be used at any cost. Make sure to use it only as per the recommended limit for experiencing its safe and effective outcomes.

Whether you're slicing into a loaf of fresh artisan bread or deboning a chicken, having the right knife for the job makes life so much easier in the kitchen. This is not an exhaustive list of kitchen knives, but it includes the basic essentials that every chef should own.
Chef's Knives
Every kitchen needs a good quality chef's knife. This is an all-purpose knife that is sold in sizes ranging from 6 to 12 inches, with 8 inches being the most common size. Chef's knives can be used for everything from chopping vegetables to slicing meat.
In the above photo on the right, you'll see the most common chef's knife. On the left and in the middle are hollow-edge santoku knives, each with a slightly different shape. A santoku knife is essentially the Japanese version of a chef's knife and can be purchased with or without the hollowed edge. The indentations above the blades (aka the hollow edge) helps prevent the knife from sticking to food. Which shape and size chef's knife should you choose? It's a good idea to find a store with a wide variety of knives so you can get a feel for what works for you. Not only are there a variety of shapes and sizes, but different brands vary quite a bit in weight. It's a personal preference.
Serrated Knives
Serrated knives, also sometimes referred to as bread knives, are very useful. The serrated blade makes cutting through thick crusts a breeze. In addition to cutting bread, serrated knives are useful for cutting fruits and vegetables with delicate skins, such as tomatoes.
Some of these knives have offset handles (as seen above on the knife with the brown handle), which provide clearance for the knuckles. While it's important to invest in a good quality chef's knife, an inexpensive serrated knife will usually get the job done.
Paring Knives
Paring knives are very useful for smaller precision tasks like peeling and slicing smaller fruits and vegetables. It can be used for other assorted kitchen tasks such as deveining shrimp, removing the seeds from vanilla beans or trimming and de-seeding jalapeño peppers.
On the left in the above photo is a standard paring knife. On the right is a slightly larger, less typical variation with a small serration in the middle, which would be useful for working with delicate berries.
Slicer & Boning Knife
Slicers and boning knives are not necessarily essential kitchen knives, but they're wonderful additions to a good cutlery set. While the tasks assigned to these knives can be handled with a solid chef's knife, these knives are designed with specific purposes in mind.
The slicer, shown in the above photo on top, is designed for slicing long, even, thin slices of cooked meat. This is especially useful for cuts like flank steak or ham. Boning knives, on the other hand, are used with raw cuts of meat. They are designed specifically for separating meat from bone or tasks such as removing silverskin from pork tenderloin.
You will want to get your knives sharpened approximately once every 6 to 12 months, or you can purchase an inexpensive sharpening stone and maintain them at home. You also want to maintain the blade between each use by using a honing steel. While honing steels do not sharpen the knife, they keep the blades sharp by maintaining the shape.

Things I Don't Understand
- Why some people will repeat themselves over and over and over, saying the same thing repeatedly until you have to actually stop them from talking, in order to speak a word of reply to the questions they just asked.
- People with zero sense of direction. I don't mean getting turned the wrong way around on a back road at night, and being confused. I'm referring to those who I am convinced could get lost in the woods behind their own houses.
- The inner workings of the female brain.
- The total inability of some people to follow very simple directions.
I'm working on all of the above. But number four in the list is the specific one on my mind at the moment. I flew with Mr. Complication this evening. Though I may have to change his name to "Mr. Confusion." Always interesting, sometimes manages to wear me out. Introduced simulated instrument flight this time, and he did better than most do. Thats a relief. More often than not, I have to recover the plane within a minute or two, after first introducing it to a student.
His problem right now is that he hasn't managed to synthesize a full package of skills. He can manage through each individual skill by itself, but putting them all together in an attempt to fly a standard traffic pattern is a bit much for him. So his homework tonight is to write down each step of the process, and try to armchair fly, while sitting at home.
But back to the things I don't understand. I guess you could say there are three types of people in the world:
- Those who have an inherent grasp of which way to turn a knob for "up" or "down" (or alternately, which way to turn a wrench for "on" or "off").
- Those who get it wrong a few times, but start to figure it out.
- Those who manage to get it wrong so consistently and repeatedly over a long period of time that they completely skew the statistical probability curve.
I don't have a problem with it. I get a little frustrated sometimes, but more often, I am just trying to find a way to more effectively communicate. Everybody has a different learning style, and my job is to find it and work through it.
So Mr. Confusion is an interesting case. We have a lockbox where the keys to the aircraft are stored. Simple 3-digit code. On our first lesson, I explained to him that the code was part of the tail number for a specific aircraft, and told him which one. This explanation has been sufficient for every other person who has wanted into that box.
Mr. C, though, may need some other sort of explanation. He has decided that the code derives from whichever aircraft we are flying on that particular day. Somehow, magically, the code differs depending on which set of keys he intends to retrieve. I'm at a loss. I really didn't expect this to be the kind of thing I would have to explain 5 times.
So every time, I re-explain how it works. And I begin to wonder: if this is confusing him, how will he handle VOR's or cross-country flight planning. I guess we just have to wait and see.

Check out this twitter app: twistori
Its very cool. Shows messages that contain words love, hate, feel, think, believe and wish. It reminds me of wall mounted screen at Googleplex that shows search queries from around the world being done on Google at that moment.
Twitter, Friendfeed and Information overload
April 30, 2008
As I open myself up to the information deluge through Twitter, Friend feed and the 100s of feeds in my Google Reader, I find that the mind can focus and digest only so much. As these tools go mainstream, I expect that this problem will become more pronounced. As one would expect, apps are being built on top of Twitter and Friend feed that will alleviate this problem.
I have been testing twhirl, Alert Thingy and Feedalizr. While twhirl and Alert thingy mainly help in reading and responding to tweets and (friendfeeds?), Feedalizr has filters that can be enabled so that only certain tweets can be seen in the client. For example, I set a filter for "investor" and the application only showed messages containing this word. This is only the beginning and I expect more sophisticated information filters to come along that will alleviate this firehose of messages.

Yep, the end is nigh. A truly uncanny robot has been created that nimbly walks on four legs. As if making the robots walk wasn't bad enough, the creators then decide to demonstrate how stable it is by kicking it. This will surely enrage the beast, which will now proceed to destroy us in our sleep, and the only warning will be the sinister hum of the two-stroke engine.
So, you create a beast that can move over almost any terrain, patiently coming to destroy us, then what do you do? You give it guns! Admittedly, the military are only talking about using BigDog (as it's called) to carry things, but it's only a matter of time before some bright spark straps live weapons to BigDog's side.
Truly, the quadropeds shall reclaim the earth. Repent now.

Every Christian engages in counseling almost daily. It takes place when we speak the truth in love to one another at church gathering, at coffee shops, on the phone with your friend, at home with family, etc. Counseling also takes place as individual believers preach the gospel to themselves when battling personal temptations and sin. Our desire, therefore, is to equip you to counsel both yourself and others in a manner that is gospel-centered.
So on October 4th and 5th, 2013, we hosted a Gospel-Centered Counseling Conference. For those who were unable to attend, please click here to download MP3 teachings by the same teacher, Trey Richardson. Although the MP3s are from a conference held at a different time and location, they contain the exact same teachings that we received.
We would love for you to download and listen to them. They will prepare you to speak the truth in love to yourself and to others.

蒸饺= Zhēng jiǎo= steamed dumplings= best breakfast.
After forgetting to eat breakfast and realizing I was near starvation at 11:30 am, I wandered into this restaurant after recognizing the word for dumplings above the door. Half of these were filled with pork and green onion and the other half beef. Delicious, filling, and only ¥11.50 for all of this and a drink. And yes, that is Avril Lavigne on the bottle. Doing big things Avril, doing big things.

Off the Shelf: The Gift of Baking Delicious Pies
By Sharon Saye on July 05, 2017 from Off the Shelf via Connect-Bridgeport.com
Let's be truthful, some people have a gift for baking; give them any ingredients and they can turn out something wonderful. Others do not have that gift and even when we carefully follow recipes can turn out something less than wonderful. Even those who have the gift have areas where they are lacking. My great-grandmother who was a professional cook often commented in an annoyed tone about my mother who could hardly boil water, but who could turn out light as air angel food cakes that she could not. She griped that she didn't have the touch.
Yet she could whip up a half-dozen apple pies and left-over apple dumplings in no time. And to my uneducated eye it looked so easy. It wasn't until I was out on my own that I realized that pie crust was hard and required that special touch. To this day, I only bake pies with graham cracker crusts or come in a box. But after reading a new book by Kate McDermott, I realize that maybe it isn't a special touch, but basic knowledge.
Kate McDermott has taught thousands how to make pies of all types and with different types of crusts. She provides that experience and advice in "Art of the Pie." She has developed more than a dozen crusts and provides detailed instructions for making, rolling, and baking them. For instance, she explains why you shouldn't use a back-and-forth motion while rolling out your pie dough and also that you should begin in the center and roll the pin out to the edge, but not over it.
She explains how to make pie dough using a food processor and how to freeze it for future use as well as how to make lattices, and what is the difference between washes and glazes. Her beginning chapters contain full-color photographs of the process of making the dough, rolling it out and transferring it to a pie plate. She even laughs at the compulsion to make perfect circles while rolling out the dough which she sees as pointless since you trim it off the edge of the pie plate.
After the chapters on various pie doughs many of which are gluten-free, she moves on to the bulk of the book which focuses on fillings. There is even a chapter entitled "The Quintessential Apple Pie" which explains what apples are best for pie fillings. This is followed by chapters on fruit fillings including blueberry, peach, huckleberry, and rhubarb and citrus pies.
Concluding are chapters on "Creamy, Nutty, Cool and Yummy" and "Savory Supper Pies." This is where you will find recipes for "Grasshopper Pie," "Pumpkin Pie," and "Mocha Cream Pie" as well as "Chicken Pot Pie" and "Shepherd's Pie."
If you are an experienced pie maker or a wary one, "Art of the Pie" will provide plenty of useful advice and inspiration.

The Science of the Ice Bucket Challenge
There's a science angle to many pop culture stories, and in the case of the ice bucket challenge, the science is the most interesting part of the summer fad. The idea, after all, is to raise money for ALS, and since there's no existing cure for the neurodegenerative disease or even an effective treatment to manage it, the public is assuming that the millions of dollars raised will go into scientific research.
So what if it took celebs in wet t-shirts (or naked) to capture the country's attention? The situation offers a terrific opportunity for explanatory reporting on the research that should allegedly be accelerated by all this dousing and check-writing.
Here are some of the questions that a science reporter can go after: What kinds of research are being done? Is gene therapy still promising? Stem cells? Which drugs are in various stages of testing and how promising are they? Do the experts think money should be spent more on clinical research or do we need to focus on the kind of basic research that will help uncover the cause of the disease? What do we know about the causes of the disease? What is it reasonable to hope for?
ALS research can be extraordinarily compelling. The best story I've read on the fight against this disease is this one written by Jonathan Weiner for the New Yorker. It's more than a decade old, and it's behind a paywall, but it's worth it.
Over the last month, science pieces using the ice bucket challenge as a news peg have been hard to find because they're mixed up among thousands of celebrity-focused stories. (Please send the Tracker links to good science stories on ALS if you've seen them or written them.)
In the meantime, here's what I've turned up.
The Washington Post ran with a piece by Jeffrey D. Rothstein, a neurologist and director of the Brain Science Institute, ALS clinic and Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins. Actually, as befitting a trendy topic, he contributes a listicle – Five Myths about ALS.
Most were myths that didn't seem likely to be all that pervasive – that ALS is caused by Lyme disease, for example. The one "myth" vaguely relevant to the ice bucket phenomenon is that "there's no cure because no company cares about finding one". Here he brushes on current directions in research and explains that it may take more basic research before scientists hit on effective treatments.
At Technology Review, Courtney Humphries looked into the research world in a story headlined How ALS Could Benefit from a Flood of New Funding. It's done in Q and A format, the most interesting question being the last: "What are the challenges involved in developing ALS treatments?"
Because ALS is designated as an "orphan" disease (affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States), potential treatments have fewer hurdles to pass on their way to FDA approval. But it's challenging to recruit patients for trials when there's such a small pool to begin with. What's more, many drugs that have seemed promising in laboratory research failed in clinical trials…
That's followed with some interesting material on research using induced pluripotent stem cells – skin cells coaxed to become neurons in this case.
At NBCnews.com, Maggie Fox takes a skeptical look at the issue in Ice Bucket Challenge: Cash Raised Can't Fill Hole in ALS Research. Here she brings in experts to throw some cold water on the fun:
But anyone who thinks that money is going to cure ALS is just dreaming, experts point out.
While several naysayers have come forward since the challenge went viral, Fox's take is focused on the scientific research world. She doesn't suggest the ice bucket campaign won't do any good. But her interviews with Francis Collins and other important players point to an ongoing shortage of public funding.
It's bad, Collins agrees. NIH has cut in half the number of grants for research funding it approves. "Right now we are leaving about half of the good ideas on the table for lack of resources," Collins told NBC News. Only 16 percent of applications get funded, compared to 30 percent 10 years ago.
"That's great science we are missing out on," Collins said.
And it's a shame, because studies are giving tantalizing glimpses at what might cause ALS, including damaged genes, new ways to study the disease, including tissue grown from stem cells, and potential treatments. "It's a massive task," Collins said. "And unfortunately the resources to carry that forward are severely constrained right now."
Another researcher interviewed for the story, Jonathan Serody, points to the importance of sustained funding, given that curing ALS is a long-term problem that will go on long after the public has latched onto a new trend.
Fads like the ice bucket challenge are great for raising public awareness, but it takes good science journalists to raise public understanding. Both are important, but the effect of public understanding will last longer.
See What Others Are Saying
Here is a completely unexpected science angle — how dumping a bucket of ice and ice water over your head could kill you. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jvchamary/2014/08/25/ice-bucket-challenge/
It isn't a science angle, but there is also the fact that the ALS Association says it spends only 28 percent of its intake on research. Others say the true figure is much lower.
Not to throw cold water on this (ha!), because I do think it's an extremely important point and a disappointingly low number. And, follow the money.
But, the ALS does not claim to be primarily research focused does it? They are a service organization and they provide extremely beneficial, expensive and (quality of) life-saving services to ALS patients and their families.
Maybe so, but the message I hear from many ice bucketeers is that they are pulling the stunt to increase research funding–usually expressed naively as "find a cure." At that, less than half of ALSA's funding goes for research plus patient services.
Well, is that the fault of the association or the public that is hopping on a fun gimmick–many videos I see say they are promoting "awareness". The association seems pretty transparent in how it uses money (http://www.alsa.org/about-us/financial-information.html) and has a good rating on Charity Navigator. Some people have tweeted the 7% figure but that's based on revenue that includes local chapters and I wouldn't expect that to go to research. Whether the association is better or worse than others is a good topic though
Oops–dc is me (John Travis)
Thanks for pointing out the 28% figure. That's the basis of a good story – one I haven't seen written yet. The common assumption is that the money goes to science.
One theory behind the lack of progress is that the traditional mouse models have a disease that does not reflect the mutations responsible for most human cases of the disease, as described here: http://articles.philly.com/2007-09-04/news/25222192_1_motor-neurons-als-cases-jeffrey-d-rothstein
Here is more about what is thought to be the mutation behind most familial cases: http://www.alscenter.org/living_with_als/causes/tdp-43_mutation.html
