Today I wanted to write a little bit about the topic I drew today--nails to match my favourite looks! This past year I wanted to make more of a point to play with nailpolish, and I am really glad I sat down and gave it a try, because now I have some awesome pictures I want to share!
Not all of these outfits are lolita outfits, and these aren't all the types of nails I have done recently (I usually forget to take photos of them), but here are my favourites! I tried to put them in some rough order from least favourite to most favourite (although I loved them all, haha)~
5. Bold stripe with a touch of gold.
4. Oh so fruity nails!
3. Geometric galaxxxy!
2. Combining the Triforce!
1. Misty Sky.

Below are questions we often hear from our patients and their families. Please talk to your treatment team about any specific questions or concerns you have about your spinal cord injury recovery and rehabilitation at Mary Free Bed.
Do you treat children for spinal cord injury?
Absolutely. Mary Free Bed is the only inpatient rehabilitation provider in Michigan with a designated pediatrics unit. We have staff and spaces dedicated exclusively to treating young patients, both as inpatients and for followup care. Learn more about our Pediatric Rehabilitation and Therapy program.
What do "complete" and "incomplete" spinal cord injury mean?
Simply put, a "complete" injury means that damage to the spinal cord is quite severe; at the time of diagnosis, there is no feeling and/or movement below the level of injury to the spinal cord. An "incomplete" injury means there is some feeling or movement below the level of injury; how much function will return remains to be seen. Approximately 12,000 spinal cord injuries occur each year in the United States; there are approximately 273,000 people living with a spinal cord injury. Over the past 20 years, the percentage of people with incomplete (versus complete) injuries has increased.
Will I ever walk again?
It can be difficult for your doctors to know at the beginning of your rehabilitation whether walking – or regaining any other specific functions – is likely. Doctors base their prognosis upon your physical presentation and provide their best guidance according to their assessment of the degree (completeness) of damage and where (higher, lower) along the spinal cord the damage has occurred. Those whose injuries are lower and more incomplete generally regain more function and have a better chance for returning to some type of ambulation. Your treatment team will perform periodic reassessments throughout your rehabilitation and update your treatment goals according to your abilities; especially if you present with new or emerging sensation or movement.
Successful rehabilitation depends not only on the level and severity of your injury; it's also related to your overall health and support from family and friends. And while we can't offer guarantees about whether you'll return to a specific activity, we do promise that you'll be treated by a spinal cord injury team that's committed to restoring you to the greatest possible level of independence.
How intense is the therapy and how much will I receive at Mary Free Bed?
The duration and intensity of your daily therapy depends upon your individual needs and tolerance. Research shows that the sooner you begin rehabilitation at an appropriate level of intensity, the better your outcome will be. Your treatment team will customize a therapy plan specific to your needs.
Typically, you can count on having 3 or more hours of therapy on at least 5 out of 7 days per week. Generally you will have less therapy on the weekend days, allowing for more time for various therapeutic recreation activities, rest and visits with family and friends. Your 180 minutes or more of therapy will be divided into manageable segments throughout the day, with breaks for meals and nursing care.
Your mornings generally begin with occupational therapy working with you on self-care activities such as brushing your teeth, grooming and getting dressed. Later that morning, you may go to the gym or therapy pool with your physical therapist to work on strengthening or mobility activities. Afternoons might include additional occupational or physical therapy sessions, or time spent with a recreational therapist, planning how best to get back to fishing, gardening, tennis or other activities you enjoy. Therapy is hard work, but it's also rewarding. As one former spinal cord injury patient said, "it's about getting me back to me."
How long will I stay at Mary Free Bed?
The main factors that determine your length of stay are the severity of your injury, your current functionality and your rate of improvement. Our patients with spinal cord injuries stay with us anywhere from days to weeks to several months. Your team will set a length of stay based upon your medical needs and circumstances.
It's common to have outpatient therapy when your inpatient rehabilitation is completed. At Mary Free Bed, you'll even have the option to have your same therapists for this next phase of care. We also have many specialized services for a lifetime of support.
Am I going to be able to go home?
Our goal is your goal – to get you back home. Some of our patients have mixed feelings about going home. They're happy to get on with their lives, but leaving the security of the hospital can also be scary. That's why your team will help you prepare for graduation (Mary Free Bed's term for leaving inpatient care) throughout your rehabilitation stay.
We focus on helping you find resources and develop the skills necessary for independent living, including:
• Activities of daily living. You'll practice more than just personal care skills. We have a simulated grocery store, ATM machine and an indoor car for you to get into and out of. We even have a practice gas pump.
• Driver rehabilitation
• Assistive technology
• Home and vehicle modifications
• Vocational rehabilitation
• How to find, train and manage caregivers
Talk to your physician and treatment team about your graduation timeline and any concerns you have about returning home.
Can my kids visit me while I'm staying at Mary Free Bed?
Your children are more than welcome to visit. In fact, we encourage it! Spending time with your family is good for you and them, too. It's also important that your children see that while you may not move or do things in the same way as before, you're still the parent they know and love. Family time at the hospital also paves the way for your transition home.
Visiting hours at Mary Free Bed are between 8 am and 8 pm daily, but we encourage visitors to be mindful of your personal care, meal and therapy schedules. Generally, visits are encouraged after your therapies are done for the day and on weekends, but can be tailored to meet your needs. Older children and teens may be encouraged to take part in your therapy sessions, particularly if they'll play a role in assisting you at home.
We do ask that your children are supervised by an adult at all times. Visitors who are even mildly ill should stay home to protect you and the health of other patients.
Can my husband/wife/significant other/mom/dad stay with me while I'm at Mary Free Bed?
You are part of our Mary Free Bed family. However, as close as our relationship becomes, we're no substitute for your actual family. That's why we make it easy for the people you love to be with you as much as possible. In some cases, you may have a family member stay in your room. Your private room has a sleeper sofa to allow for a comfortable stay. These arrangements can be discussed prior to admission with your admission liaison.
When an in-room stay is not feasible, we'll help you explore other options. For example, the Inn at Mary Free Bed provides affordable on-campus lodging with spacious, accessible rooms and amenities like a continental breakfast and wireless internet access. No room at the Inn? We'll help you locate an accessible room in a nearby hotel.
What's the nurse-to-patient ratio in the Spinal Cord Injury Program?
The nurse-to-patient ratio varies depending upon your medical condition. You'll always have access to the level of care you need, even if that means around-the-clock, one-on-one care. Your care needs are first assessed preadmission, again at the time of your admission and then reassessed regularly throughout your stay by your treatment team.
Will I be able to have children after spinal cord injury?
Depending upon the severity of your spinal cord injury, sexual functioning may be affected. Generally speaking, spinal cord injury can affect sensation, sexual response and sexual performance. Although spinal cord injury can affect fertility, it doesn't rule out the prospect of conceiving or having children. Since every injury affects each person differently, it's important to discuss your concerns or questions with your physician and treatment team. Your physician may refer you to one of our consultants (gynecologist/obstetrician, urologist) who can provide additional information.
Will I be able to return to work, school or the other activities I did before my injury?
Your ability to resume specific activities – whether it's your job or a beloved hobby – will depend upon the severity and complexity of your injury. Returning to work, school and your favorite leisure activities is heartily encouraged, and your treatment team will work very closely with you, your employer and others to help you achieve your goals. Your therapists can assist with job-site, campus and leisure evaluations in order to provide recommendations best suited to your personal needs.
Your ability to function may change over time as you become healthier and stronger. We're routinely inspired by what our former patients tell us, whether they're a teacher returning to the classroom, an outdoor enthusiast trying to bag a deer once again or an active father and former bicyclist competing on the Mary Free Bed handcycling team in the Amway River Bank Run.
Sam Ho, MD, Spinal Cord Injury Program Medical Director, offers this perspective based on more than 30 years treating people with spinal cord injuries at Mary Free Bed: "Each person must identify his or her own capabilities and potential and make a choice about moving forward to set goals and achieve dreams. What gives your life meaning? What fills your life with purpose? How can you apply your gifts and talents? Whether it's returning to work or school, attending a support group meeting or volunteering, participating in an adaptive sports clinic or sporting event or cheering on those who do…remember; we're on your team and we're here to help you along your journey."
How will I manage air travel with a spinal cord injury?
Mary Free Bed's recreational therapists have created a video resource to help answer the most common questions about air travel after spinal cord injury. The video features Mary Free Bed graduates demonstrating the typical challenges associated with airline travel, and insights into how to ease the process. Click below to watch.
What can I (or my loved one) do to stay safe in the event of a fire?
The United Spinal Association's publication "Fire Safety for Wheelchair Users at Work and at Home" provides important information about fire safety for people with mobility impairments. The guide is geared toward wheelchair users, their employers/supervisors, emergency plan coordinators, building owners and managers, fire/safety/building code officials and office fire marshals.
Patients with spinal cord injury and their families/caregivers/employers are encouraged to become familiar with the protocols and procedures outlined in the brief, but informative, guide.

Like many of my friends and colleagues, I was pretty excited when I heard about the launch of TNA three years ago. All WWE and nothing else makes anyone a dull wrestling fan, and with a busy work schedule that prevented me from attending any live indy shows to fulfill my wrestling fix, I was desperate for something different, something new. The Jarretts' venture sounded promising to me, so I decided to give it a try.
That turned out to be easier said than done. The Wednesday night time slot combined with having to pony up money to watch it every week -- and as a wrestling fan/writer on a budget, that was a big deal -- meant not following TNA as closely as I would have liked. I enjoyed what I did see, enough to recommend the product to friends who were in the same straits, but they faced the same logistical hurdles. The coming and going of certain performers thanks to the promotion's "open door" policy added to the challenge of following along as a part-time viewer.
So despite the excellent in-ring action and the fact that a big part of my being as a wrestling enthusiast was going unfulfilled, I drifted away. My local cable service archives a series called TNA's Greatest Matches that is available via on demand video, so I've been able to catch some of the bigger matches of the past year or so. But I haven't ordered a TNA pay-per-view since its first year of existence, and I didn't catch a single episode of the syndicated Xplosion show once that hit the airwaves. My lone method of keeping tabs on TNA has been to read the excellent work of my colleagues here at SLAM! Wrestling, who have given the promotion the most thorough and professional coverage I've seen on the 'Net.
Of course, everyone loves a second chance, and for me, that came once Spike TV bid adieu to Raw and said hello to TNA Impact. Despite the brutal late Saturday night time slot (and those of you who get Spike may have also noticed that the show doesn't always re-air late Sunday night like the network claims), I figured there was really no excuse not to check in and see what's changed. Much has been written about the show's debut, but now that we're a few weeks in, I feel like Impact has had a chance to establish the tone and flavor it's shooting for.
That makes this the perfect time to share what I think the current product has going for it. I'm not going to recap any of the episodes since Chris Sokol already handles that, or get in-depth about any of the performers since our site features oodles of interviews and features that I'm sure you've already clicked on. I'll also stay away from the most obvious strength of TNA: like reader William Hatfield said in a recent SLAM! Speaks feedback piece, it's solid professional wrestling instead of the WWE's "sports entertainment."
If you're already a huge TNA fan, I'm preaching to the choir, and you know a lot more about it than I do. But if you're on the fence about giving up a Saturday night out to check out Impact, or if you're looking forward to the day when you'll be able to watch it on your cable system, this is for you. Consider it the couch-eye view of why it's worth watching.
Improved production values
Compared to the pay-per-views of the first year or so, this is a night and day difference that you'll notice immediately. Everything from the opening montage to the lighting and effects in the arena to the wrestler entrances to the camera work during matches has improved dramatically. It may not seem like that big of a deal, but believe me, it adds a lot to the broadcasts. Still not quite at the level of the industry leaders in Titan-land, but light years ahead of, say, where ECW was when they first got a crack at national TV. And speaking of ECW, the energetic and loyal crowd at Impact tapings, while not technically a production value, reminds me of the heyday of Extreme and is a real plus.
Cool gimmicks
The six-sided ring is a great visual, and no doubt makes Spike TV happy because it looks similar enough to the UFC Octagon, but I haven't really noticed any times the extra two sides were crucial to any spots or segments. Maybe the SLAM! Wrestling intern can check to see if six guys have ever come off all of the turnbuckles simultaneously. If not, you can bet it will happen eventually. That's because TNA continues to tinker with new gimmicks, and things like Ultimate X are sheer craziness -- in a good way. There will always be a place in wrestling for old stand-bys like the cage or ladder match, but TNA will be bringing us the staples of tomorrow.
A real tag team scene
Which should make my editor, Greg Oliver, smile if nothing else. Remember tag team wrestling? The WWE may have forgotten, but making the tag belts a priority was an early TNA strength that seems to be continuing. The America's Most Wanted-Triple X feud was good stuff, and with AMW vying with teams like The Naturals, and Sonny Siaki and Apolo, there looks like there's more to come. Crowds still pop for a good doubles match. There's even a title bout week on Impact.
The best announcers
Granted I may change my mind if Joey Styles shows up to handle play-by-play tonight on Raw. But with J.R. out of the picture for now and The King having beaten his jokes into the ground long ago -- and let's not even start on Jonathan Coachman -- Mike Tenay becomes the top announcer on TV almost by default. It could be I just have a soft spot for him from my days as a Nitro reporter, but I find his straightforward approach satisfying. He's knowledgeable and gives the matches a bit of a straight sports feel. And Don West... well, he's Don West. Say what you want, but the guy brings a lot of energy to the color spot, and he never lets you forget about upcoming matches or shows.
A better mix of old and new
This is the area where TNA needed the most time to feel its way through. I'm not crazy about Jeff Jarrett versus Kevin Nash for the NWA Title at the upcoming pay-per-view, but over-the-hill veterans and publicity stunt booking seem like things of the past. Performers like A.J. Styles and Christopher Daniels have become bona fide stars, and the pipeline has brought along others like Samoa Joe, Matt Bentley and the members of Team Canada. Even Monty Brown has grown on me. Bringing in guys like the Dudleys, uh, I mean, Team 3-D, has always been a part of the formula, but the balance between the past and the present, between familiarity and potential, seems to be a lot more stable now.
And that, as they say, is that. It may be next year, three years from now or three days from never when TNA is ready to pose real competition to the WWE, but I'm not sure that's really important. What matters is that Impact is carving out its own enjoyable niche so far, and if the wrestling fan inside you is hungry for something, that might be enough to tune in to give it a try or to bug your local cable company to pick up TNA programming.
Or if you're like me, to give it a second chance.

Used, but in good condition. The radio and screen are scratch free. Includes the UT-85 Tone Decode. I just noticed that the small clip on the Microphone (on the ethernet-looking end) is broke but the mic stays secure (this is why it is being listen as 'good'. Bright display (wasn't close to 12V at time of picture). Radio is a great mobile (I have been using it as a VHF receiver for the last 5 years - better than any scanner!!) Included Mobile mount as well. Will ship to Canada for an additional $20 US.
Is this a 2 meter rig?

In honor of the release of the P-Rod III, we got invited by the Nike SB heads to come spend a day of skating in L.A. to test out Paul's new shoe. Along with retailers from shops across the country, we laced up our new kicks and hit Paul's new plaza at the Richie Valen's Recreation Center in Pacioma, CA (which is amazing, by the way), and then finished off with a session at Paul's private TF. The Nike ams Theotis Beasley and Shane O'Neill joined in on the session, and when it was all said and done, we gotta say, it was a good day.
Check the photos, and scroll down for the new commercial for the shoe's release and a couple point-and-shoot clips I captured from the day.

AT&T and Microsoft tonight have begun pushing out Windows Phone 7.5 build 8773 aka Tango to the Samsung Focus 2 (see our review). The previous version of the OS was version 8112 aka the LTE build. First reported in our comments by MDiBo, we were able to verify on our own Focus 2 that the update is indeed live...
Windows Phone Tango brings numerous small fixes to the OS, including multiple images in MMS, send ringtones (MMS), more reliable push notifications, new wallpapers and other optimizations.
After the OS is updated users will be prompted to do yet another update, which will install new Samsung firmware to coincide with the OS upgrade.Though we have not verified what this firmware update contains, it usually fixes minor issues related to the camera, proximity sensors, volume controls and potentially the display. We'll try to verify any changes over the next few days.
We did test other AT&T Windows Phones including the HTC Titan, Titan II and Focus S and were not able to verify any OS or firmware updates for those devices at this time.
Update: The Tango Update for the Samsung Focus 2 took about thirty minutes. Times will vary depending on how long the backup stage takes. When all is said and done the new Firmware version is 2184.108.40.206 and a new Radio software version is 2220.127.116.11.

One of the common issues encountered with SSIS is deploying configurations for multiple environments. During this session, 2 patterns for handling configurations in SSIS will be covered. a simple pattern that handles most cases, to a very flexible pattern that covers most complex scenarios. Learning and using these patterns will allow SSIS developers to more easily deploy packages between environments, and leverage a single point of configuration in each environment.

As I'm taking this journey back in time to recount how I've come to take up genealogy as a profession, I find myself remembering so many wonderful experiences. I'm doing my best to weave them together into this story, which at first I thought was going to be really difficult. But a story that wants to be told will be, so today's Sentimental Sunday was easy.
I was tracing my ancestors back to someone who was an American Patriot, so that I could fulfill my mom's wish of becoming a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. I didn't know WHO it was, but family oral history told us that there was someone. So, I started with my mom's parents, discovered it was her father's family that had been in the U.S. for several generations, learned her grandfather had been born, lived and died in Cincinnati, but that his family came here after the Revolution. So, next option was her grandmother, Laura Louise RICHARDS.
Uh, mom? Is this who I'm named after? Yup, that's right! I had NO idea that I had been named after my great grandmother! My parents had always told me my name was inspired by the 1944 Gene Tierney movie 'Laura'. Again, TRUST NO ONE…LOL. Anyway, what a joy to find out that I had the name of the woman my great grandfather wrote poetry about. Mom told me she hadn't known either of her grandparents, and to her knowledge they had died when she was a child, in the 1930s. I located an obituary for her, discovering a few details: she was born around 1864 and died in 1936, just three months after my great grandfather, Henry. Now, on to finding more evidence and information about her and her family.
I was beginning to get pretty good at figuring out where to look for information. Keep in mind, in 1996, there was still very little on the Internet that you could find, so most information was found either at libraries and similar repositories or via U.S. mail requests. I took my first trip to the Newberry Library, which is an incredible place for genealogical research. As a history lover, and a nut about old books (thanks, great grandpa Henry!), I was amazed when I actually got to touch and look through books that were 150 years old. I also found out, in a big way, how important cemetery records can be (more about that in another post). Of course, a death certificate can provide incredible details about someone, so I sent away for hers and waited.
Fast forward to 2005. My cousin, Kathy Hitchcock Burns, daughter of my mom's sister Jackie, was celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary, and had come down from Wisconsin, where she lives, to visit my aunt Jinny and our family. Kathy had always been particularly close with Jinny; of the three Wersel girls combined 11 children, Kathy and I were the only girls and she is eleven years older than me, so she spent a lot of time with my aunt and was very close with her.
Kathy brought her daughter and granddaughter with her, and we had a lovely time catching up. They'd been here for a while, and she pulled me aside and told me she had something for me. She told me that though it was HER anniversary, she wanted to give me a gift. Kathy and I were never very close, so this caught me a bit off guard, however, her incredibly generous nature is very well known, so I accepted the long narrow box she handed me.
When I opened the box, my heart skipped a beat. Inside was a beautiful sterling silver serving spoon. So, why the big deal? Engraved on the handle were the initials 'L L R'. This amazing piece of flatware was owned and used by my great grandmother. Kathy didn't know it's true origin, whether it was a trousseau piece or not, and there's also the possibility that it was my great-great-grandmothers, as they shared the same initials. Either way, this spoon is from ~1870-1880. It had been passed down to Kathy by her mom, and she was giving it to me as a gift. There still really aren't words that can accurately describe my gratitude, but I hope THANK YOU works.

This flank steak recipe from Julia Child calls for soy sauce, olive oil, and a few other ingredients. Some folks say it's the best steak ever.
"Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen…" I counted, backtracking the days on the calendar. "Fifteen." I gasped.
My husband and I had been in our mid-30s before we'd finally got around to talking seriously about having kids. We agreed to try, and if it didn't happen, then it wasn't meant to be. Totally chill. Totally calm.
Six months later, I wasn't pregnant. I wasn't chill. Nor was I calm. I started doing things that were anything but chill or calm. Like renouncing red wine and coffee. Obsessively charting my cycles. Peeing on a damn stick every single day of the month to confirm when I was ovulating. Feverishly taking my basal body temperature before I set foot out of bed in the morning. (Apparently the mere act of standing up throws your entire temperature out of whack, so if you get up before you've dutifully applied the special thermometer, you might as well not even bother.) The only result of all this was to make me edgy, irritable, and on the perpetual brink of a crying jag. (I blame the teetotaling for 95 percent of that.)
After 13 miserable and histrionic months of negative results, our nerves whittled to friable twigs, Mark and I decided to celebrate our eighth wedding anniversary not by having dinner at some San Francisco restaurant that required dress-up and makeup, but by holing up at home and cooking together in comfort. It was the night we finally pressed into service a recipe for a flank-steak marinade that my mother-in-law had emailed us long ago with the promise of succulent results, even if you lived in a scrunched urban apartment with only a broiler and no grill. The source? Her revered copy of The French Chef Cookbook, by Julia Child.
Our first order of business that night was to make the marinade. Given the amount of minced garlic and shallot called for in the recipe, the mixture was more pastelike than liquid, requiring bare hands to rub the piquant mixture evenly over the two pounds of fat-streaked meat. While I shiatsu-ed the steak, Mark tended to the second order of business: yanking the cork from a verboten bottle of our favorite pinot noir and splashing us each a hefty pour.
After the steak was marinated and broiled to a bloody rare, we carried our plates and glasses into the living room and plunked down on the couch to indulge in a shared passion: politics. Not exactly the stuff of bodice-ripping, euphemism-stuffed Harlequin romances, I know. But our anniversary that year happened to fall on the night of the second presidential debate, and we weren't missing a moment of it. This was the town-hall debate hosted by an increasingly frustrated Tom Brokaw, who had to keep reminding candidates Obama and McCain of the rules. (This was also the debate that would later be parodied on Saturday Night Live, due to McCain's restless and bizarre meanderings around the podiums.) By the time it ended, with Brokaw asking McCain to please get out of the way of his teleprompted script, our bodies were weak with laughter and wine.
And that steak, my Lord, that steak! It is not revisionist history to describe it as obscenely delicious. Between ecstatic bites, Mark and I would pause the TiVo so as not to miss a single Brokaw-ism and exclaim in disbelief over the steak's intense beefiness and suppleness.
One of the most maddening "how to get pregnant" tips out there is the one that tells you to relax and just let things happen. Thinking about relaxing doesn't work. Talking about relaxing doesn't work. Forgetting about relaxing in order to eat steak and suck down a bright bottle of Anderson Valley pinot noir? That worked. By the glow of the TV, we sank ourselves into that steak-and-wine dinner, allowing our bundles of shredded nerves to be coddled with every bite we took, every sip we swallowed, every guffaw we shared. Thus it was with laugh-lightened spirits that we headed to bed.
A few weeks later, I was pregnant. Because of the meticulous math that all hopeful parents know so well and come to revile, I knew conclusively that it was that steak night that'd done it. I'd never even met the woman, yet Julia Child had gotten me knocked up. But even if the meal hadn't produced such unexpected results, we still would've marveled at that marinade. It produced what was truly the most flavorful steak I'd ever cooked at home.
Still, I soon forgot all about that steak until what would've been Julia's 100th birthday, last summer. A kind of foodie panic set in as I scrolled through the masses of adoring Tweets, and clicked on links to articles and blog posts that waxed rhapsodic and, in some cases, spasmodic about Julia's boeuf bourguignon and her gratin dauphinois, her cassoulet and her coq au vin. What sort of foodie was I, if I couldn't instinctively put my finger on my favorite Julia recipe? I sat there, paralyzed by the showcase of classic French recipes that didn't resonate with me at all.
Then I recalled a passage I'd read in Julia's autobiography, My Life in France, which noted, almost in passing, that although they'd wanted a family, she and Paul had been unable to have children of their own. It was an unexpected and seemingly small part of her story, practically an aside. Yet reading that detail of Julia's life, as I had in the days before I was pregnant, gutted me with its poignancy. Remembering it now, I looked up from my laptop. For me, the most life-changing recipe of Julia Child's was sitting across the breakfast table, staring me in the face, all plump cheeks and blue eyes. That afternoon, I took those plump cheeks and blue eyes to the store to buy a celebratory flank steak, which we marinated and broiled the Julia way.
Two weeks later, I discovered I was pregnant. Once again, it was Julia's doing.
My favorite Julia Child recipes have always been the most basic ones, the ones that taught me the foundations of cooking. Not French cooking, not fancy cooking, just cooking. Like that flank-steak marinade, which I've since christened "Fertility Flank Steak," much to Mark's utter and lasting embarrassment. These quiet recipes maintain an elegance all their own, a modest force in their simplicity. Deep within each of them is reflected one of my favorite facets of Julia's personality—not the impressively talented side, but the unfussy side. The side that served her guests Goldfish crackers and unashamedly declared her love for McDonald's fries. The mom side. That's the Julia Child I want in my kitchen.

This simple, relatively little-known recipe from Julia Child somehow manages to ensure, in true Julia fashion, that the innate beefiness of the steak takes center stage.–Stephanie Lucianovic
LC Apartment Steak Note
For those of you who love to sear steak yet live in an apartment with little or no exhaust system, the broiler makes a relatively smoke-free alternative to a hot cast-iron skillet. Just saying….
Flank Steak
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4 to 6
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Pinch hot pepper flakes or several drops store-bought or hot red pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
- 2 to 3 tablespoons minced scallions, shallots, or garlic
- One flank steak (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
- 1. In a resealable plastic bag or a glass baking dish, combine the oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, pepper flakes or hot sauce, thyme, and scallions, shallots, or garlic. Add the steak, seal the bag or cover the baking dish, and marinate for 20 to 60 minutes at room temperature or up to a day in the fridge.
- 2. Preheat the grill or broiler.
- 3. Transfer the steak to the grill rack or broiler pan, leaving any excess marinade behind. (You can pat the steak dry if you wish.) Grill or broil the steak, turning once, until medium-rare or the desired degree of doneness. Let it rest for 10 or so minutes.
- 4. Carve the steak in thin, angled slices cut across the grain. Serve immediately.
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Mindy Audlin needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 101 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
A designers challenge - taking three words that don't naturally flow together, and turning into a visual VERB, action-oriented and inspiring!
I'm looking for two logos that convey a single concept:
"What If Up" and "The What If Up Club."
For the first one, I'm looking for something that helps the reader follow the words without tripping. "What If Up" is a verb. It is a process I teach where people use the question "What If" in a way that inspires new possibilities. For example: "What if this logo totally rocks? What if people understand the concept completely based on one simple visual image?"
The opposite of "What If Upping" is "What If Downing," which uses the same What If question to damper creativity. "What if this woman is a whacko? What if nobody gets what I'm trying to convey?" Does that make sense? More info on my website at http://www.whatifup.com.
The What If Up Club is the logo we will use for groups that gather to practice the "What If Up" process.
- Item 1...
- I don't want a question mark used as a design element... I've found that it confuses the reader and makes them read it like a question rather than a verb (I like to "What If Up." I'm a "What If Upper").

Liberty News
Monday convocation lifts spirits at Liberty
Bob McDonnell, former attorney general for Virginia and republican candidate for Virginia governor, made a special appearance at Liberty University's Monday convocation.
McDonnell has lived a life in public service that began with 21 years in the U.S. Army both on active duty and in the reserves. After enrolling at Regent University in 1985, he applied for admittance to that university's law school. In 1989 he graduated and began working as a prosecutor in the Office of the Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Virginia.
In 1991, McDonnell was elected to Virginia's House of Delegates representing the 84th District of Virginia Beach. While in the House, he rose to the position of assistant majority leader and chairman of the House Courts of Justice Committee and was the chief patron of numerous bills, including the reform of Virginia's drunk driving laws.
At Monday's convocation, McDonnell cited Matthew 20:28, where Jesus says the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and encouraged Liberty students to take an interest in their government and to continue serving their country and God.
"You are called according to His purpose to do good work," McDonnell said. "I encourage you to take an interest in government and what kind of government you have."
Christian singer/songwriter Babbie Mason performed the special music at Monday's convocation. In her 24 years of music ministry, Mason has received two Dove Awards and two ASCAP Awards and 11 Dove Award nominations and two Stellar Award nominations.
Mason also performed a concert Sunday night at Thomas Road Baptist Church.
David Wheeler, associate director of the Center for Church Planting at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary and a professor of Personal Evangelism and Church Growth, was the main speaker at Monday's convocation. He began by asking students to evaluate if they truly believe God is enough in their lives.
Citing Gen. 22:2-14, Wheeler told students about the first time he read the story of Abraham being asked by God to sacrifice his son Isaac.
"I could not understand why God would require such a price to Abraham," he said. "And I could not understand why Abraham would do it."
Wheeler said now he understands that Abraham didn't have a choice to NOT follow the command of God.
"Disobedience is never a valid choice of a child of God," Wheeler said. "If you call yourself one of His, you don't have a choice of whether you lay down your life for him. We are commanded to do so."
Wheeler shared about the death of his own brother. He said through that tragedy, his family has learned what it means to surrender everything on the altar and confirm that God is enough.
"You can't let circumstances, even tremendous horrific pain, rule your life. Why? Because God is enough," he said.
Wheeler closed by encouraging students to commit their lives to answering the call of God.
"God is calling every one of you to say 'yes,'" he said.
Wheeler came to Liberty in 2006 to teach evangelism at the undergraduate and graduate level and to represent the North American Mission Board (NAMB) as a field missionary for Liberty. Prior to that he spent seven years as the Evangelism Resource Director for the State Convention of Baptists in Indiana, and five years for the State Convention of Ohio.

MSNBC is obsessed with playing the race card
Paul Joseph Watson
Tuesday, September 27, 2011
MSNBC has yet again played the race card to demonize not even criticism, but merely unsympathetic portrayal, of Barack Obama as racist after an AP writer was lambasted for accurately transcribing Obama's Black Caucus speech.
During his speech, Obama attempted to fool the black audience into thinking he was one of them and not a paid teleprompter reader for Wall Street by dropping the g's at the end of his words.
"Take off your bedroom slippers. Put on your marching shoes," Obama lectured the audience. "Shake it off. Stop complainin'. Stop grumblin'. Stop cryin'. We are going to press on. We have work to do."
However, after the Associated Press accurately transcribed Obama's dropped g's, MSNBC aired a debate segment asking whether the decision not to "clean up" Obama's words was "racist".
"On MSNBC, the African-American author Karen Hunter complained the news service transcribed Obama's speech without cleaning it up as other outlets did–specifically including the "dropped g's," reports Yahoo News.
"Hunter called the AP's version "inherently racist," sparring with New Republic contributing editor and noted linguistics expert John McWhorter, who argued the g-less version "is actually the correct one," noting that the president's victory in the 2008 election was due, in part, to how effortlessly "he can switch into that [black] dialect."
It goes without saying that Hunter's claim is completely ridiculous. Obama's dropping of his g's was blatantly deliberate. If the AP had "cleaned up" his speech it would have been completely misleading and inaccurate.
Hunter claimed the AP transcriber didn't "fix" Obama's grammar because of the color of his skin, while failing to mention the fact that transcripts of George W. Bush's speeches were routinely transcribed (accurately) by including dropped g's and other idiosyncratic styles of speech. She then ventured further into the realms of absurdity, claiming the AP writer was using a secret "code" through which to express his racism.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
"Normally, I lean toward the clean-it-up school of quote transcribing—for everyone," AP transcriber Mark Smith told Mediaite. "But in this case, the President appeared to be making such a point of dropping Gs, and doing so in a rhythmic fashion, that for me to insert them would run clearly counter to his meaning. I believe I was respecting his intent in this. Certainly disrespect was the last thing I intended."
It's not the first time Hunter has used her platform at MSNBC to imply a failure to observe complete obedience to Obama is racist. Two years ago, she said that people who "disrespected" Obama by being critical of his mandatory health care plan were racist.
As we have documented on numerous occasions, the establishment likes to play the race card in characterizing any criticism, or even any portrayal that could be considered unsympathetic, of Obama as racist. MSNBC has proven itself adept at this dirty trick.
During an appearance on MSNBC's The Last Word recently, talking head Richard Wolffe mused that Republican opposition to Obama making a speech on a date that clashed with a presidential debate was down to "the color of his skin".
Back during the Obama Joker poster era, when depictions of the President as the fictional character out of Batman were deemed racist by the establishment media despite identical images being produced of Bush as the Joker for years before, MSNBC host Carlos Watson insinuated that calling Obama a "socialist" to criticize his big government agenda was secret code for a racist slur.
Of course, the ultimate irony of all this is Obama's attempt to come across as a working class black man by dropping letters as the end of his words. In reality, Obama's background is about as 'black working class' as the Queen of England. He enjoyed a predominantly white, privileged, middle class upbringing and had none of the hardships of the black working man he tries so desperately to impersonate in a bid to re-connect with black voters who are abandoning Obama in droves.
Paul Joseph Watson is the editor and writer for Prison Planet.com. He is the author of Order Out Of Chaos. Watson is also a regular fill-in host for The Alex Jones Show.
