Rob Gregory sees incredibly creative and convincing work at the UWE show
There is a lot going on in the Department of Planning and Architecture at the University of the West of England Architecture (UWE). For a relatively new school, year on year, it is good to see growth in numbers matched by greater levels of confidence and ambition, among students and in dialogue with staff.
UWE runs courses that cross over with Planning, Environmental Engineering and Technology. When you walked around the show, the apparent universal competence in computer visualisation appeared to sit alongside thorough technical reports and fully reasoned Design and Access Statements. As you would hope, when the synergies worked, you saw incredibly creative and convincing pieces of work with the immeasurable notion of design excellence graded alongside more onerous and measurable technical components.
Standout unit
BArch Unit 5, entitled Architecture and the Body, led by Rachel Sara with David Littlefield. It began with a workshop at Laban Dance Centre in Deptford and an urban documentary entitled Inhabiting Strangely. From such ice-breakers, a wide range of sensual projects emerged in designs for a Mother and Baby Prison, a Slavery Museum and an Archive.
Standout student
Kevin Woodward, who designed an archive where the memory of buildings knocked down in Istanbul could be stored in a vertiginous columbarium

Football Association chairman David Bernstein has called the crowd incidents at the Manchester derby "deplorable" and says they must be "dealt with severely".
Rio Ferdinand was struck by a coin thrown from the crowd as Manchester United celebrated Robin van Persie's deflected last-minute winner, while only the intervention of City keeper Joe Hart prevented another fan confronting the defender.
And Bernstein told Sky Sports News: "It is deplorable to see those incidents and to see Rio Ferdinand with blood on his face is absolutely terrible."
He continued: "I think it's disturbing that we're seeing a recurrence of these types of incidents. We've had racial abuse issues, the odd pitch incursion, things being thrown at players - it's very unacceptable and has to be dealt with severely."
Bernstein promised tough action from the FA to try to stamp out the chances of further incidents occurring.
"It's very disappointing: so much of football is so good, great things are happening in football as a whole, but these odd incidents get the headlines - and understandably because they are serious matters, they are unforgivable things," he added.
"When you think of the millions watching football every week, or involved in football, to see it hijacked by these incidents is awful so we have to deal with it in the strongest way we can.
"It's a difficult social problem. I think there's a copycat thing: something happens and other people copy it and this sort of thing can spiral. To my mind it's for the FA, the whole game of football and the authorities to work together to deal with this most severe matter.
"I believe that if necessary these people need to go to the court and be banned for life, if they're found out.
"It's important that matters are brought to a head and people understand that there is no room for this in football at all, and we'll do everything we can within the FA. I know the rest of football feels the same, it's a blot on the game."

University Studies is proud to host the annual Senior Capstone Fair on Tuesday, May 1, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm in the Smith Memorial Student Union, rooms 327, 328, and 329. This event is designed to showcase our Capstone courses being offered next academic year.
The Senior Capstone is the culmination of University Studies, Portland State's general education program. Capstone courses are designed by Portland State University's faculty to build cooperative learning communities by taking students out of the classroom and into the local community and abroad. In Capstone courses, students bring together the knowledge, skills, and interests developed to this point through all aspects of their education, to work on a community project. Students from a variety of majors and backgrounds work as a team, pooling resources, and collaborating with faculty and community leaders to understand and find solutions for issues that are important to them as literate and engaged citizens.
The Capstone Fair was planned as a result of faculty requests to have one event to recruit students to participate in their Capstones and unveil new Capstones to students. Additionally the fair will help clarify the role and responsibilities that students can expect to take on as they engage in their Capstone. It provides a venue where students can meet with the Capstone instructors and the community partners associated with Capstones. The fair also serves to inform other faculty and administrators across campus about the various Capstone partnerships and projects.
We invite the entire PSU community to come to this informative event. This is an excellent way for students to choose which Capstone will be the most meaningful for them. It is also an event that will serve our first and second year students well because it will show them the culminating educational experience at PSU. It is important for students to know that during their senior year they will be expected to apply the skills that develop throughout their college education.
The 2012 Capstone Fair will be held Tuesday May 1, 2012
Location: Smith Memorial Student Union, Rooms 327, 328, and 329
For more information, please contact University Studies at (503) 725-5890.

Rothschild (rŏth´chīld, Ger. rōt´shĬlt), prominent family of European bankers. The first important member was Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1743–1812), son of a money changer in the Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, Germany. His first names are also spelled as Meyer and Anselm. It was he who laid the foundation of the family fortune by his skillful operations as financial agent for the landgrave of Hesse-Kassel (later Elector William I). His five sons were Amschel Mayer Rothschild (1773–1855), who remained at Frankfurt with his father; Salomon Rothschild (1774–1855), who established the Vienna branch of the family; Nathan Meyer Rothschild, who founded the London branch; Karl Rothschild (1788–1855), who established the Naples branch (discontinued in 1863 after the unification of Italy); and James Rothschild (1792–1868), who settled in Paris.
After the Napoleonic Wars the house of Rothschild attained increasing power, and in 1822 all five brothers were created barons by Emperor Francis I of Austria. Because of their position as creditor of many European governments, the Rothschilds were undoubtedly one of the world's chief financial powers in the 19th cent. Their banks played a major role in financing railroads and mines that made France an industrial power and the English branch financed the British government's acquisition of the Suez Canal. The improvement in state financing late in the century greatly reduced their influence.
The Frankfurt branch closed in 1901 when the last male heir of Amschel Mayer Rothschild died. The rise of the Nazis forced the family to give up its Viennese branch in 1938 and some family members fled to the United States during World War II. The Rothschilds remained involved in international investment banking, especially in London and Paris. The French government nationalized the Paris bank in 1981, but six years later David de Rothschild established a new company. He became chairman of both the British and French branches in 2003 when they were consolidated into a single holding company. Rothschild family members have traditionally maintained their Jewish faith and have consistently engaged in large-scale philanthropic activities for both Jews and non-Jews. Many later and contemporary members of the family distinguished themselves as patrons of the arts, sportsmen, writers, and doctors.
See the memoirs of G. de Rothschild (1985); F. Morton, The Rothschilds (1962); E. C. Corti, Rise of the House of Rothschild (1928, repr. 1972) and Reign of the House of Rothschild (1928); V. S. Cowles, The Rothschilds (1973); D. Wilson, Rothschild (1988); H. Lottman, The French Rothschilds (1995); N. Ferguson, The House of Rothschild (2 vol., 1999).

All right, well, the games finally tip back off tomorrow, and it's about time: Without any major storyline — The Chalk Bracket just doesn't tend to inspire people — it's been a bit of a slog this week.
Here's what the kids are predicting on the series of tubes:
Kansas Vs. North Carolina
Jay Bilas: North Carolina.
Seth Davis: Kansas.
Stuart Mandel: North Carolina.
Storming The Floor: North Carolina.
Deadspin: Kansas. Call it a hunch. We're not ready to see Bill Self in a national championship game though.
Memphis vs. UCLA
Jay Bilas: Memphis.
Seth Davis: UCLA.
Stuart Mandel: UCLA.
Storming The Floor: UCLA.
Deadspin: Memphis. No one has looked better the last week. And we were wrong.
So, light 'em up, people.

Kevin Tancharoen, director of the Mortal Kombat Rebirth viral trailer has revealed the origins of the short film as well as the direction he'd take a feature length version – should he be given the chance. Check out the new details HERE.
Early this morning, a mysterious trailer for an unannounced Mortal Kombat project appeared on YouTube - posted under the title Mortal Kombat Rebirth.
The trailer is over seven minutes long and features high production values - including performances by Michael Jai White as Jackson "Jax" Briggs and Jeri Ryan as Sonya.
It's unclear at this point whether the viral trailer will ultimately lead us to a new Mortal Kombat film or a new video game installment. However, given the real-world spin, I'd say we're looking at a new film.
Check out the Mortal Kombat Rebirth trailer after the jump:
Looks a bit too ambitious for a fan-made trailer, right?
You might remember that Warner Bros. was moving forward on a Mortal Kombat reboot - with writer Oren Uziel already attached to pen the screenplay. Though, shortly thereafter, Warner Bros. was sued by Threshold Entertainment, who apparently bought the rights to the third Mortal Kombat film installment - before Warner Bros. purchased Midway (and subsequently their IPs).
Either way, it seems clear that someone is making a new Mortal Kombat film. The real-world angle of the trailer (which features Baraka as a self-mutilating serial killer and Reptile suffering from a genetic disorder) fits the recent film-making trend of wooing audiences with less-fantasy driven premises - focusing on grittier, more realistic, interpretations.
In addition, it's difficult to imagine how this "realistic" vision of Mortal Kombat could possibly translate into an enjoyable gameplay experience - given that the franchise was built on bicycles kicks, thunder Gods, fireballs, alternate realms, and over-the-top fatalities. If Mortal Kombat Rebirth points to a video game - how could that video-game capitalize on previous Mortal Kombat games with such a straight-forward approach? Not to mention, how that straight-forward approach would pretty much castrate the game's source mechanics.
Personally, after watching the trailer, I'm really hoping for a new Mortal Kombat film - a strange thing to say, considering the quality of most video game films. The rivalry between Scorpion and Sub-Zero was one of the more compelling aspects of the Mortal Kombat mythology - and the Rebirth plot-line appears to put that rivalry front and center.
Regardless, one thing is clear - given the upcoming E3 conference in Los Angeles, we'll certainly have more info soon as to which facet of the Mortal Kombat franchise will be getting a "rebirth."
What do you think Mortal Kombat Rebirth is leading us to? What do you think of the new approach to the franchise?

Big-name bands ready to rock Winterfest 2011
Some of the biggest names in Christian music will be at Liberty University to ring in 2012 for the largest Christian New Year's party on the East Coast, Winterfest 2011.
This two-day festival will be held Dec. 30-31 in the Vines Center. On Friday night, Skillet, Family Force 5, Hawk Nelson, and Finding Favour will perform with featured speaker Bob Lenz. On New Year's Eve, Switchfoot, Tenth Avenue North, RED, Trip Lee, and Anthem Lights will take the stage. Liberty's campus pastor Clayton King will emcee the evening and will be a keynote speaker with Matt Pitt.
Now in its 11th year, this event is popular for church youth groups and college students, drawing more than 6,000 guests.
Liberty University admissions counselor Matthew Hockensmith has been coordinating the event.
"The purpose of Winterfest is to ring in the New Year from a Christian perspective and showcase Liberty and what we stand for. Liberty is a place where we learn about God's word and have fun at the same time," he said. "Many high school students make New Year's resolutions by making the decision to put God first and rededicate their lives."
With concerts in the evening, the two days at Liberty are filled with fun activities, with participants granted full access to campus recreational facilities, including skiing, snowboarding, and tubing at Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre, ice skating at LaHaye Ice Center, and basketball, indoor rock climbing, swimming and indoor soccer.
Liberty is also offering campus tours and a chance to meet some of the featured Winterfest artists.

This part 1 of the series "10 Things Vmware Server Admins Should Know About Self-Service Catalogs and Lifecycle Management" that I'll be publishing over the next couple of weeks--I hope! (The boy is nothing if not ambitious).
1. The service catalog is a tool for driving users to standard configurations.
To get the operational efficiencies we hope to achieve from virtualization and / or cloud computing, we need to establish standard configurations. This is tough, for a couple of reasons.
First, the challenge is the gap between the language of the customer, and the detail needed by the operations group typically generates a lot of back and forth during the "server engineering" process. Instead of having "pre-packaged" configurations, every thing is bespoke. Instead of having useful abstraction layers and levels, the customer has to invent their own little bit of the data center. This made sense when the new app meant a whole new hardware stack to which the app would be fused to and the concrete poured on it. It doesn't make sense now.
Second, there's resistance from customers to adopt standard VM builds. Sometimes the reasons are valid, other times less so. The issue arises because the technical configurations have not been abstracted to a level the user can understand what they get and what's available for configuration. Nor can they compare one template to another in ways that are meaningful to them.
The service catalog is the tool to help deal with these two obstacles. The service catalog is a useful tool to communicate, in the language of the customer, the different options available from IT for hosting environments. A service catalog will support multiple views (customer, technical, financial, etc) so that when the customer selects "small Linux" for testing, this generates both a bill of materials and standard configuration options. Once that base is selected, self-service configuration wizards provide both guidance and gutter-rails so the customer is both helped to the right thing and prevented from making errors.
From this customer configuration, the environment build sheet is generated which will drive provisioning and configuration activities or to execute any policy automation in place.
And the catalog allows the VM admins to figure out what their "market" is buying; which is very useful for capacity planning.

A Small Business Boost from ... Regulations?
If last week's Republican National Convention had a mythic protagonist (other than Mitt Romney, that is), it was the struggling small business owner. In speech after speech, we heard about the same basic person in the same basic dilemma: a small-business owner overcome by the burden of government regulations.
This isn't exactly a surprise; lashing out at regulations has become daily bread for the GOP lately, and the narrative has been eagerly parroted by the media (an April analysis by the Institute for Policy Integrity found that use of the phrase "job-killing regulations" by U.S. newspapers has increased by more than 17,000 percent since 2007).
Indeed, many small-business owners report that regulations are their biggest obstacle to success. But are they really?
This spring, the service directory Thumbtack.com and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation asked small-business owners across the nation to rate how friendly their states—and particularly their states' regulations—were to small businesses. Their answers generally matched conventional analysis: Utah and Texas, with fewer and looser regulations, scored well, while states with more aggressive environmental and labor standards, such as Vermont, California, and New York, scored worst.
But researcher Stacy Mitchell of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance noticed something odd: Comparatively speaking, many of the states with the best scores, and the loosest regulations, weren't actually home to very many small businesses:
Vermont, for example, which earned an "F" in the ranking, in part because of its cumbersome environmental and zoning regulations, has nearly twice as many small businesses per capita as laissez-faire Texas, which scored an "A+." Low-ranking New York and Rhode Island likewise have more small businesses than most states.
Of the five most "friendly" states, only one, Idaho, outperforms the national average on numbers of small businesses. The other four lag behind, with Louisiana ranking 36th and Texas 47th in the nation.
In other words, the GOP's talking points about the impact of regulations don't necessarily line up with reality. One reason is that politicians and pundits are too quick to make assumptions about the impact of regulations. The Institute for Policy Integrity, in the same report that noted the massive increase in discussion of the term "job-killing regulations," discussed the problem with overly simplistic analysis:
"Even the most sophisticated job impact analyses have only limited predictive power in our complex and dynamic economy," the authors note—and sophistication isn't a notable feature of recent job analyses generated to make political points. They conclude that too many of our analyses of whether better regulations will cost jobs are too narrow or too short-term. "If analysts and advocates cannot reverse course, then the use of job impact analyses will remain a misleading distraction—nothing more than a red herring."
7 Ways to End the Deficit (Without Throwing Grandma Under the Bus)
A new study suggests that ending the deficit doesn't have to hurt, just as long as we cut in the right places. John Cavanagh finds seven places where budget cuts can create a more just, more secure, and more sustainable country.
It's not easy to isolate the factors that make an economy healthy, but many of the things that regulations are meant to promote (healthy workers and environments; protections against exploitation and monopolistic business practices) are certainly part of it. Small businesses thrive in places where local residents can afford their services and where a good quality of life attracts skilled workers.
They also do best when they're not shaded out by national chains, another potential boon of strong regulations. "It may also be that these rules have a more limiting effect on their big competitors," notes Mitchell. "Vermont's land use policies, for example, have done much to preserve the vitality of the state's downtowns and protect its farmland from sprawl, which has been a boon to local businesses and food producers, while also inhibiting the spread of Walmart and other big-box retailers."
Along with "job-killing regulations," another phrase repeated over and over at the convention was "business-friendly environment"—too often defined as an unregulated free-for-all. But if we want to create places where small businesses can truly thrive, we have to start thinking more carefully about what that phrase really means. Business-friendliness doesn't necessarily depend on how many regulations there are. It depends on the environment: on creating healthy, vibrant communities in which small businesses can grow.
Turns out most job creation comes from the 99 percent, not the one percent.
Is it true that the U.S. can no longer afford to take care of its residents the way it once did? Annie Leonard takes on the "we're broke" myth in this 8-minute video.
Who's lining the pocket of your representatives? Here's a tool you can use to find out.

iMedia Audiences (Age50Living, Family Friendly, Family Sports)
Greetings! Looking forward to working with an artist that can humanize the dark world of online banner advertising! Here is my bio (top) http://www.imediasalesteam.com/saleteam. I am all about sharing the wealth so my sales 'counterparts' are not treated merely as employees rather as my partners. Our main goal is to drive revenue for our partner sites that include Ancestry, Eons, Legacy, and others. We also have a network component called iMedia Audiences, this is a new product that will server the needs of smaller websites that don't have much visibility into big brands.
This is challenging because I don't want JUST a "NETWORK Site" that says "Advertisers click here" and "Publishers click here". I will target advertisers and need a page for them, but I'll also target primarily the Founders/CEOs of websites, e.g. the websites that might join iMedia Audiences (and use our team as their own internal sales team to monetize all of thier banner ads)...the websites must attract one of our 3 audiences (adults 50+ boomers, conservative moms with young children, or sports minded dads -- more conservative than the college age sports junkie). The challenge will be to have a website see our website and think "hey they sell advertising for the exact demographic that visits my site, where do I sign up."
I have attached logos but I REALLY DON'T care for them...so I hate to attach them in fear that they ruin any good design ideas. I am looking for something clean, clear, fresh and appealing and ties in a tad with my sales team site: imediasalesteam.com, but these are some examples of major category leaders: http://revenuescience.com/, http://collective.com/, http://www.meebo.com/, http://www.specificmedia.com/, http://www.audiencetargeting.com/.
I don't need multiple languages, I need a home page and a simple section/content page. Looking for someone to also code and install this...as well later on. Since there is no logo for iMedia Audiences the designer is free to create something works with the site as opposed to the site working with the logo;)

Why Seven Hours of Sleep Might Be Better Than Eight
Sleep experts close in on the optimal night's sleep
How much sleep do you really need?
Experts generally recommend seven to nine hours a night for healthy adults. Sleep scientists say new guidelines are needed to take into account an abundance of recent research in the field and to reflect that Americans are on average sleeping less than they did in the past.
Several sleep studies have found...

The Lady Bisons won set one 25-21, set two 25-17 and set three 25-11. It was the 18th regular season win for the Lady Bisons, beating the old mark of 17 set last season. The Lady Bisons won 20 matches overall last season, but that included three wins in the Atlantic Sun Tournament.
"It feels good to reach 18 regular season wins," said Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal. "It has been a much tougher season for us. We don't really discuss it with the players, but a goal of mine is to have a better year record-wise than the year before. That is important for us recruiting-wise.
"It is a great indication of the program as a whole. The NCAA Tournament and the A-Sun Championship are great, but to look at the body of work and see improvement every year is something I am really proud of.
Rosenthal called the sweep a true team win.
"It was a great team performance," said Rosenthal. "We talk all the time about doing the small things. We did a lot of small things well. It wasn't just one person. It was the whole team.
"The impressive thing for me was that we only made nine errors. When you limit yourself to nine errors over three sets some good things are going to happen. We talked about not giving teams extra chances. I thought we did a great job on defense. We were solid all the way through."
He stressed that the Lady Bisons took allowed setter Jake Pease to operate at an even higher level. She made 31 assists and also had a match-high 10 digs.
"The philosophy was to take care of the ball and get it right to the setter to give her the options of where she wanted to set it," said Rosenthal. "A lot of time when you make a pass it is off of the net and that limits the options for the setter.
"Jake can set 90 percent of the balls because she is so athletic. We have a luxury in that. But if we give her time, and more of an opportunity to make decisions, then the other part of her game is that she is very deceptive when she makes her reads."
Middle blocker Alex Kelly made 14 kills, also a match high. Her .571hitting percentage tied her season high set Aug. 30 against Morehead State. It was the sixth time this season she has posted a hitting percentage of .500 or higher and her second match in row to do it.
Rosenthal also praised the play of outside hitter Katie Bradley, middle blocker Amy Trykowski and opposite Erin Pierce.
"When you have a match performance like this everyone usually thinks it is because of one person," said Rosenthal. "But it really wasn't. You can go down the line and talk about each player and what they did right. There wasn't a whole lot that we didn't execute on."
Desiree Dyck had 10 kills for ETSU. No ETSU player reached double figures in digs.
"ETSU is a tough place to play," said Rosenthal. "They brought a lot of energy. They had a good crowd."
It was an expectant trip in another way for Rosenthal. His wife, Kate is due to deliver their second child at any minute. Rosenthal drove separately on the trip and someone monitored his cell phone during both matches this weekend.
The Lady Bisons are 18-10 overall, 15-3 in the A-Sun. ETSU is 9-19, 5-13 in the conference.


text: mental invalid 8 Posted October 3, 2003 less then one week till RADIOHEAD>>>>>>>>>:cool: Free Will Astrology horoscopes for week of October 2, 2003 Aries (March 21-April 19) Today and every day, five million lightning bolts will flash between earth and sky somewhere on our planet. At any given moment, two thousand thunderstorms are raging. While you may not be in the literal presence of one of these elemental outbreaks in the coming week, Aries, I believe you will channel a similar kind of energy: You'll be fiercely and tenderly alive with the blended force of primal fire and water. This doesn't necessarily mean you'll careen out of control; you may be able to express the booming power in its most constructive form, cleansing and clarifying everything you touch. Taurus (April 20-May 20) My investigation of recent Taurean behavior reveals that you have committed two spankable offenses. I will not, however, authorize any enforcers to turn you over their knees and apply their palms forcefully to your buttocks -- not yet, anyway. First I want to give you a chance to atone, by filling in the gaps in your understanding and ripening the attitudes that led to your deviation from the righteous path. Or would you prefer to avoid the hard work of making amends and instead just accept a spanking? Gemini (May 21-June 20) I should caution you that this horoscope may be banned in certain parts of Louisiana, South Dakota, and Arkansas, as well as a number of other areas around the world in which silky uproarious techniques of sacred yumyum are considered dangerous to the status quo. The fact is, Gemini, you have the potential to be a genius of love in the coming weeks. You are poised to discover higher forms of pleasure that would make plain old ordinary hedonism irrelevant. A previously unimaginable level of erotic mastery is within your reach. Now memorize this coded message: freesurgingfearlesswideawakerapturewrestler. Cancer (June 21-July 22) HELP WANTED: Practical dreamers with high emotional intelligence needed to become experts in the following subjects: the art of possessing abundant resources without feeling greed or a sense of superiority; the science of cultivating luxurious comfort in a way that does not lead to spiritual sloth; and a knack for enjoying peace and serenity without diluting one's ambition. Applicants should be members of the Cancerian tribe. Send evidence of your skills to Poised Plenitude, c/o email@example.com. Leo (July 23-August 22) Your natural scent is strong and good these days. Your body is more flexible than usual and your willpower is extraordinarily supple. Even when you're tired, your voice is a healing melody; when you're well-rested, the words you express can disperse tensions that have lingered for a long time. Your ability to protect and inspire others reminds me of a mother dispensing snappy wisdom to her children. And your courage is teeming with innocent savvy. I swear you could hypnotize an agitated rattlesnake or gently crack open a closed mind. . Virgo (August 23-September 22) Do you have affluenza? The PBS TV show "Affluenza" defined it as follows: the sluggish, unfulfilled feeling that results from struggling to keep up with the Joneses; the stress, overwork, waste, and indebtedness caused by an addiction to consumer goods. Signs that you suffer from this malady include the following: 1. You'll pay more for a t-shirt if it has a cool corporate logo on it. 2. You're willing to work 40 years at a job you hate so you can accumulate lots of stuff. 3. You believe that if you buy the cocktail dress, the cocktail party will come. If you have even a mild version of affluenza, Virgo, I recommend that you seek a cure in the coming days. The astrological time is ripe to learn about having fun and living successfully without spending lots of money. Libra (September 23-October 22) On my twentieth birthday, I found a big bag on the ground while walking across a vacant lot in Durham, NC. Odd symbols adorned the outside. Inside were taxidermically preserved specimens of a hummingbird, snake, bat, lizard, frog, and praying mantis. I brought the find home and sought the counsel of my roommate, who was knowledgeable about strange phenomena. He speculated that the animals were raw materials for a magic spell, and said the symbols were ancient alchemical formulas. Maybe it was coincidence, but the next month was a miracle. I met two new lifelong friends, discovered the person who became my greatest teacher, and got a glimpse of my life's purpose for the first time. I predict that if you're alert as you wander through the world, Libra, you will come upon a comparable good luck treasure this week. By a margin of 4-1, my Scorpio readers have voted to impose on me a six-week ban on all references to maddening ambiguity. You have informed me that you're weary of grappling with enigmas wrapped inside conundrums. You want earthy instructions and simple truths. Maybe I'll start obeying your orders next week, but I'd be remiss if I didn't let you know that you're about to be offered odd gifts from people in transition, benevolent interventions that require major course corrections, and mysterious help from the Great Beyond. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) To the naked eye of the casual observer, there won't seem to be enough love or money or other good stuff to go around this week. But if I'm reading the astrological omens correctly, you will be able to magically stretch and expand the resources to fulfill not only your own needs but those of a small multitude. Just assume, then, that you'll have the same mojo that Jesus allegedly had when he fed 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fishes. Capricorn (December 22-January 19) "New studies of the brain suggest that play may be as important to life as sleeping and dreaming," writes Stuart Brown in "National Geographic." In other words, science is on the verge of confirming what we play activists have always preached: To be a healthy master of reality, you have to play every day. This is always true, of course, but it's twice as true for you right now. To make sure you know exactly what we're talking about here, Capricorn, study Brown's definition: "Play is spontaneous, pleasurable behavior that has no clear-cut goal and does not conform to a stereotypical pattern." Aquarius (January 20- February 18) Are you afraid of what you want? Are you suspicious of success? Are you suffering from a hope deficit? Do you tend to go numb when in the presence of possibilities that should excite you? Then this week will be a boon. You will have the chance to pull off a rare form of exorcism -- an exorcism not of grotesque demons and dumb-ass ghosts, but rather of the jaded cynicism that subtly corrodes your intelligence. Take this opportunity, my dear Aquarius, to cleanse yourself of the reflexive doubts that the world around you has brainwashed you into regarding as normal. Pisces (February 19-March 20) The daily grind is on the verge of crushing your spirit; you're way too close to giving in to the petty pressures of everyday insanity. In my astrological opinion, therefore, you're ready to indulge in what French poet Charles Baudelaire called "a taste for the infinite." More than that: You desperately need to cultivate a voracious hunger for the infinite. Call it going back to your spiritual roots if you like. Think of it as talking to God or expanding your consciousness or meditating till your heart melts into a state of union with your eternal source. You've got to get yourself some deep and intimate communion with the Divine Wow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Missy Franklin's Olympic diversion: A trip to the English countryside
A week after returning from the Olympic games, 17-year-old Missy Franklin is back to life as a high school senior in Colorado. As she sits in math class at Regis Jesuit High School, we'd be surprised if she wasn't a little wistful in remembering her time in the big swim of Olympic competition and celebrations in England.
The athlete didn't spend all of her time in the pool when she was in London. After earning five medals, she got to live like royalty for a bit. Franklin was among 50 people who spent time at Leeds Castle, dining in a banquet hall in which Henry VIII once entertained, taking tea and playing a murder mystery game. She would have gone hot air ballooning, but fog kept her grounded.
She tweeted and posted a photo of the castle on Aug. 9: "My view from breakfast. Not bad, huh?:)"
Franklin and her parents, D.A. and Dick Franklin of Centennial, were guests of Denver-based Cuvee Ventures, a private equity fund that owns a portfolio of high-end properties (average value: $7.5 million) in such places as Cabo San Lucas, St. Bart's, Italy and Hawaii as well as Colorado. But none of Cuvee's properties are in England, and since that's where the excitement was this summer, that's were they went.
[media-credit name="Photo provided by Cuvee Ventures" align="alignright" width="270″][/media-credit]
"We bring our investors and top clients together each year for a gala. This was the fourth annual," said Emily Mueller, marketing communications manager for Cuvee. "We had boxes at some of the top finals Olympics events and hosted some neat dinners and entertainment. It was a week filled with pretty cool things."
The company extended the invitation to Missy and her family through Cheryl Preheim of Channel 9, who was in England covering the Olympics, and Cuvee's director of marketing, Laura Quintana. Preheim tweeted: "Pinch me…I just got back from a dream assignment. This place is known as the loveliest castle in the world."
Mueller said the dinner, held for 50 people in the Henry VIII dining hall, consisted of multiple courses, including bruschetta, cheeses, pan-fried halibut with mussels, roasted lamb with pancetta; roast filet of beef with twice-baked potato soufflé, and an assiette of desserts, including lemon tarts and chocolates. It was a good thing Franklin had completed her swims: she might not have fit into her suit after all that food.
Leeds Castle first hosted royalty in 1278 and Henry VIII took up residence in 1519 with his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.

Interpreting the Impact of Program Maturity
Online learning programs are often on the cutting edge of education reform and, like any new technology, may require a period of adaptation. For example, a district might try creating a new online course and discover some technical glitches when students begin to actually use it. Course creators also may need to fine-tune content, adjusting how it is presented or explained. For their part, students who are new to online course taking may need some time to get used to the format. Perhaps they need to learn new ways of studying or interacting with the teacher to be successful. If an evaluation is under way as all of this is going on, its findings may have more to do with the program's newness than its quality or effectiveness.
Because the creators of online programs often make adjustments to policies and practices while perfecting their model, it is ideal to wait until the program has had a chance to mature. At the same time, online learning programs are often under pressure to demonstrate effectiveness right away. Although early evaluation efforts can provide valuable formative information for program improvement, they can sometimes be premature for generating reliable findings about effectiveness. Worse, if summative evaluations (see Glossary of Common Evaluation Terms, p. 65) are undertaken too soon and show disappointing results, they could be damaging to programs' reputations or future chances at funding and political support.
What steps can evaluators and program leaders take to interpret appropriately the impact of the program's maturity on evaluation findings?
Several of the programs featured in this guide had evaluation efforts in place early on, sometimes from the very beginning. In a few cases, evaluators found less-than-positive outcomes at first and suspected that their findings were related to the program's lack of maturity. In these instances, the evaluators needed additional information to confirm their hunch and also needed to help program stakeholders understand and interpret the negative findings appropriately. In the case of Thinkport, for example, evaluators designed a follow-up evaluation to provide more information about the program as it matured. In the case of the Algebra I Online program, evaluators used multiple measures to provide stakeholders with a balanced perspective on the program's effectiveness.
Conduct Follow-up Analyses for Deeper Understanding
In evaluating the impact of Thinkport's electronic field trip about slavery and the Underground Railroad, evaluators from Macro International conducted a randomized controlled trial (see Glossary of Common Evaluation Terms, p. 65), with the aim of understanding whether students who used this electronic field trip learned as much as students who received traditional instruction in the same content and did not use the field trip.
Initially, the randomized controlled trial revealed a disappointing finding: The electronic field trip did not impact student performance on a test of content knowledge any more or less than traditional instruction. A second phase of the study was initiated, however, when the evaluators dug deeper and analyzed whether teachers who had used an electronic field trip before were more successful than those using it for the first time. When they disaggregated the data, the evaluators found that students whose teachers were inexperienced with the electronic field trip actually learned less compared to students who received traditional instruction; however, students whose teachers had used the electronic field trip before learned more than the traditionally taught students. In the second semester, the evaluators were able to compare the effect of the treatment teachers using the electronic field trip for the first time to the effect of those same teachers using it a second time. This analysis found that when teachers used the electronic field trip a second time, its effectiveness rose dramatically. The students of teachers using the field trip a second time scored 121 percent higher on a test of knowledge about the Underground Railroad than the students in the control group (see Glossary of Common Evaluation Terms, p. 65) who had received traditional instruction on the same content.
The evaluators also looked at teachers' responses to open-ended survey questions to understand better why second-time users were so much more successful than first-timers. Novice users reported that "they did not fully understand the Web site's capabilities when they began using it in their classes and that they were sometimes unable to answer student questions because they didn't understand the resource well enough themselves."12 On the other hand, teachers that had used the electronic field trip once before "showed a deeper understanding of its resources and had a generally smoother experience working with the site."
In this instance, teachers needed time to learn how to integrate a new learning tool into their classrooms. Although not successful at first, the teachers who got past the initial learning curve eventually became very effective in using the field trip to deliver content to students. This finding was important for two reasons. First, it suggested an area for program improvement: to counter the problem of teacher inexperience with the tool, the evaluators recommended that the program offer additional guidance for first-time users. Second, it kept the program's leaders from reaching a premature conclusion about the effectiveness of the Pathways to Freedom electronic field trip.
This is an important lesson, say Thinkport's leaders, for them and others. As Helene Jennings, vice-president of Macro International, explains, "There's a lot of enthusiasm when something is developed, and patience is very hard for people.… They want to get the results. It's a natural instinct." But, she says, it's important not to rush to summative judgments: "You just can't take it out of the box and have phenomenal success." Since the 2005 evaluation, the team has shared these experiences with other evaluators at several professional conferences. They do this, says Macro International Senior Manager Michael Long, to give other evaluators "ammunition" when they are asked to evaluate the effectiveness of a new technology too soon after implementation.
Use Multiple Measures to Gain a Balanced Perspective
Teachers are not the only ones who need time to adapt to a new learning technology; students need time as well. Evaluators need to keep in mind that students' inexperience or discomfort with a new online course or tool also can cloud evaluation efforts—especially if an evaluation is undertaken early in the program's implementation. The Algebra I Online program connects students to a certified algebra teacher via the Internet, while another teacher, who may or may not be certified, provides academic and technical support in the classroom. When comparing the experiences of Algebra I Online students and traditional algebra students, EDC evaluators found mixed results. On the one hand, online students reported having less confidence in their algebra skills. Specifically, about two-thirds of students from the control group (those in traditional classes) reported feeling either confident or very confident in their algebra skills, compared to just under half of the Algebra I Online students. The online students also were less likely to report having a good learning experience in their algebra class. About one-fifth of Algebra I Online students reported that they did not have a good learning experience in the class, compared to only 6 percent of students in regular algebra classes. On the other hand, the online students showed achievement gains that were just as high or higher than those of traditional students. Specifically, the Algebra I Online students outscored students in control classrooms on 18 of 25 posttest items, and they also tended to do better on those items that required them to create an algebraic expression from a real-world example.
In an article they published in the Journal of Research on Technology in Education, the evaluators speculated about why the online students were less confident in their algebra skills and had lower opinions of their learning experience: "It may be that the model of delayed feedback and dispersed authority in the online course led to a 'lost' feeling and prevented students from being able to gauge how they were doing."13 In other words, without immediate reassurance from the teacher of record, students may have felt they weren't "getting it," when, in fact, they were.
This example suggests that students' unfamiliarity with a new program can substantially affect their perceptions and experiences. The evaluators in this case were wise to use a variety of measures to understand what students were experiencing in the class. Taken alone, the students' reports about their confidence and learning experience could suggest that the Algebra I Online program is not effective. But when the evaluators paired the self-reported satisfaction data with test score data, they were able to see the contradiction and gain a richer understanding of students' experiences in the program.
A lack of program maturity is not a reason to forego evaluation. On the contrary, evaluation can be extremely useful in the early phases of program development. Even before a program is designed, evaluators can conduct needs assessments to determine how the target population can best be served. In the program's early implementation phase, evaluators can conduct formative evaluations that aim to identify areas for improvement. Then, once users have had time to adapt, and program developers have had time to incorporate what they've learned from early feedback and observations, evaluators can turn to summative evaluations to determine effectiveness.
When disseminating findings from summative evaluations, program leaders should work with their evaluator to help program stakeholders understand and interpret how program maturity may have affected evaluation findings. The use of multiple measures can help provide a balanced perspective on the program's effectiveness. Program leaders also may want to consider repeating a summative evaluation to provide more information about the program as it matures.
Given the sophistication of many online learning programs today, it takes an extraordinary amount of time and money up front to create them. This, and stakeholders' eagerness for findings, makes these programs especially vulnerable to premature judgments. Evaluators have an important message to communicate to stakeholders: Evaluation efforts at all stages of development are critical to making sure investments are well spent, but they need to be appropriate for the program's level of maturity.

RECORDS: Cal 1-1; Ohio State 2-0.
KICKOFF: 4 p.m., Memorial Stadium, Berkeley.
TV: Fox.
SERIES HISTORY: Ohio State leads 6-1. The Bears won 28-0 in the first meeting at the 1921 Rose Bowl. The Buckeyes won 35-28 last year in Columbus.
STORYLINES: The Bears conclude their three-game, season-opening homestand against the No. 4 Buckeyes, hoping to beat a nonconference top-5 opponent for the first time since toppling No. 4 Alabama 13-0 in the Jan. 1, 1938 Rose Bowl. Cal has lost 18 straight nonconference games to top-5 foes since then. . . . OSU, playing at Berkeley for the first time since 1972, has a 14-game win streak, best in the nation. … Preseason Heisman Trophy candidate Braxton Miller is a game-time decision because of a sprained left knee. If he can't go, senior backup Kenny Guiton gets the call.
INJURY UPDATE: Cal — FS Michael Lowe (ankle) is probable. LB Nick Forbes (back) and DE Chris McCain (head) are questionable. LB Michael Barton (knee), DE Brennan Scarlett (hand) and DT Mustafa Jalil (knee) are out. Ohio State — QB Braxton Miller (knee) and DE Adolphu Washington (knee) are questionable.
MATCHUP TO WATCH: Cal's running game vs. the Ohio State defense. The Bears need to rev up their ground attack to provide a complement to the passing game, triggered by freshman Jared Goff, the NCAA passing yardage leader. It won't be easy against a Buckeyes defense that has allowed just 137 rushing yards in two games, at just 2.2 yards per attempt, and has not given up a rushing touchdown.
STATS THAT MATTER: Cal is eighth nationally in total offense (582.5 yards per game), but just tied for 54th in scoring (33.5 ppg), partly because five of its 10 red-zone opportunities have ended in field goals. … Cal is 4-50 all-time vs. top-5 opponents, winning just once in 27 tries since 1975. … Ohio State has not allowed a point in the first or fourth quarters. … Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer is 44-4 in games played in August or September.

There we go. After years of showing "Under Construction" I finally have released my new website. Why? Well, there is a lot of interest from foreign amateurs for the projects we do at our local radio club, PI4RAZ, and my personal experiments. But most publications are in Dutch. Which makes it pretty hard to read for foreign visitors...
So when I got an offer for free webspace at qsl.nu, I decided to publish a couple of articles about for instance the Bitx20 add-ons in English on that site. And then, that site crashed. Of course, I did not have a backup. I considered that the providers' risk. But he thought different.
Anyway, time for a fresh start. Here we are again, running from a small Linux server at home. And that should do, unless this site is going to generate considerable traffic. For now: enjoy...

Canadiens fire Martin
MONTREAL -- Sloppy play, blown leads and a poor record on home ice all conspired in the firing of Jacques Martin as coach of the Montreal Canadiens.
Sensing his team was going nowhere, general manager Pierre Gauthier removed the defensive-minded Martin in his third season and promoted his somewhat younger, more tech-savvy assistant Randy Cunneyworth to the job of interim head coach on Saturday.
Assistant GM Larry Carriere was named assistant coach, his first coaching job after a long career in scouting and administration.
The 50-year-old Cunneyworth, a Toronto native whose lack of French was quickly noted by fans and the media in a Francophone city where English-only corporate board meetings have been a hot topic, is the team's first unilingual English-speaking coach since Bob Berry in the early 1980s.
Gauthier said Cunneyworth would work on his French, and that he hopes he will be able to keep him in the job next season. He said "a language can be learned."
For now, he just wants his team to win.
"Our team wasn't performing up to an acceptable level," Gauthier said. "For sure, there were injuries, but also the approach to games, especially the team's play in the third period, are things that affect the results.
"It was best to make a change. Sometimes in this business to make things better you need to make a change, to bring in new ideas, a new approach to the team's performance, so it becomes more consistent."
Gauthier, a former assistant who moved into his job when Bob Gainey stepped aside last season, did not consider searching outside the organization for a coach.
The 59-year-old Martin, who this season passed the 600 career wins mark, became the sixth NHL coach fired in recent weeks after Bruce Boudreau in Washington, Paul Maurice in Carolina, Terry Murray in Los Angeles, Davis Payne in St. Louis and Randy Carlyle in Anaheim.
The change that Gauthier said he had been mulling over for two or three weeks seemed to take everyone, including the players, by surprise. But it was strongly hinted at on Oct. 26 when, off to a weak start to the season, Martin's closest ally Perry Pearn was fired as assistant coach. The team then went on a brief winning spurt that has since cooled.
The Canadiens were 13-12-7 and in 11th place in the NHL Eastern Conference when Martin was axed, hours before a home game against the New Jersey Devils. They were 5-6-6 on home ice.
Martin's last game was a 4-3 loss at home to Philadelphia. Before that was a string of blown leads or nearly wasted leads that left the Canadiens with one point in games they should have had two.
Players who had bought into Martin's system, which emphasizes defensive play and keeping players close together on attack to support each other, looked to be opting out.
Many fans disliked the emphasis on defence, particularly the team's tendency to play as if killing a 20-minute penalty when nursing a third-period lead. Justified or not, Martin-bashing was widespread in cafes and Internet postings.
"What system is in place doesn't matter if everyone buys in and plays the right way," said defenceman Josh Gorges. "If you only have half the guys doing what's asked of them, everything is in disarray and I think that's where we got to.
"We weren't playing together and doing the things we need to do to win. And consequently we lost games we shouldn't have lost and changes needed to be made."
Martin was also a low-key man, bland in media interviews and mostly quiet behind the bench. Cunneyworth will be somewhat more animated.
Cunneyworth has rocketed through the Canadiens system in less than two seasons.
He was hired as head coach of AHL Hamilton last season after two seasons as an assistant coach with the Atlanta Thrashers and nine years as head coach of the AHL Rochester Americans in the Buffalo Sabres system. The Bulldogs went 44-27-9 last season and both Cunneyworth and his assistant Randy Ladouceur were brought to Montreal to replace the departed Kirk Muller, now head coach in Carolina.
Now the Randy and Randy show is in charge in Montreal.
Gorges was impressed with Cunneyworth's hard work and his approach to the job.
"He's one of the first I've seen in my career who has got the computer with the video between periods, or on practice days," Gorges said. "He's going over minor little details of the game before or what's coming up in the next game and he's prepared.
"We can expect a lot of preparation, working on knowing what we have to do in different situations."
The basic system of play is not expected to change much, but Cunneyworth said there are aspects that need to be improved.
"It's lot to do with execution," said the former NHL forward. "We have to demand better of each other.
"The players have to be on board more as a team rather than trying to do things on their own. I think it's important that we get that across quickly. It's important that our team competes in all areas, that when it has the puck it has everybody involved.
"One of our assets is our speed. We're not a big team, but we're certainly a team that can move and move the puck well. Being on the puck and not giving up are things I will demand and our staff will demand."
Martin was much the same when he was hired in 2009, in the same summer Gainey completed a house-cleaning that saw several veterans leave and Brian Gionta, Scott Gomez and Michael Cammalleri arrive as free agents. Systems had gone haywire under former coach Guy Carbonneau.
At the time, it needed structure and a clear system and the veteran Martin certainly provided that. In his first season, the Canadiens made the playoffs and then upset Washington and Pittsburgh enroute to a conference final. Last season, they finished sixth and took eventual Stanley Cup champion Boston to Game Seven in the first round before losing in overtime.
That coherence on the ice wasn't as evident this season, although they have had a run of injuries and had to use as many as four first-or-second-year defencemen in several games. Too many players were trying to do too much on their own, and too few were going to the net to look for goals.
"They have to compete and show a willingness to put their bodies in harm's way," said Cunneyworth. "That's what they get paid to do.
"For the most part, guys do that wholeheartedly. We have to get more doing that."
Martin was not available for interviews.
To a man, players denied the coach had "lost the room," even if it appeared his message was no longer getting through to everyone.
"The bottom line is winning games -- we weren't winning and changes happen," said defenceman Hal Gill. "I don't think it was about losing the room or anything like that."
Cammalleri, a sniper who has been in a scoring slump, agreed that losing was at the heart of the move.
"When we are where we are and expect to be a better team than we've been, you definitely are aware there might be changes," he said. "For it to be Jacques was somewhat surprising.
"We're in 11th place, that's what went wrong. I think Jacques was still trying to work on things and improve the team. I don't think there was anyone not listening to him."
Before joining the Canadiens, Martin spent five seasons coaching the Florida Panthers and before that nine seasons as head coach of Ottawa, where he left as the all-time leader in regular-season wins, playoff wins and games.
His GM in Ottawa was Gauthier, and one of his top players was Cunneyworth.
Known for his defence-first philosophy, Martin led the Senators to its first President's Trophy in 2002-03.
He was named NHL coach of the year in 1998-99 and was part of Canada's gold medal triumph at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Winter Games.
"It's someone I've known a long time and respect a lot," Gauthier said of Martin. "We had a good discussion.
"We had a difficult start and then we won four in a row to get to .500. And we're still at .500, or near there. That's not enough. The team hasn't been consistent in its approach and its play. That's why we decided to act."
Cunneyworth played 15 NHL seasons, amassing 414 points in 866 career games with Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Winnipeg, Hartford, Chicago and Ottawa.

Ovulation Calculator
by admin
Ovulation Calculator
Our fertility and ovulation calculator can tell you the best days to do the deed so you can get pregnant ASAP. We'll even tell you your baby's possible due date if you conceive this month.
If you're like most women, you ovulate once a month, releasing an egg (or two) from your ovary that, if fertilized, becomes a baby. Your best chance to get pregnant is in the window from one day before to a few days after you ovulate, but the tricky part is knowing when you're ovulating. Take away some of the guesswork with our free ovulation calculator. Just answer the ovulation calculator's simple questions and you'll find out what time of the month you're the most fertile, so you'll have the best chance of getting a positive result on your next pregnancy test.

there should be a jewish theme to the site
As opposed to the mystarbucksidea and ideas.salesforce.com - i'd like to highlight one idea upfront (with buttons to Pass or Fail the idea and a button to go forward to the next idea - this should really be central to the site so people notice it) - and then there should be another tab for "Top Ideas" and another one for "Most Recent"
colors are up to you
we will need internal pages - and are willing to pay for those after this project is complete - we will award the internal pages to the person who wins this contest.
remember - this is a crisis so that should be reflected in the design somehow....
if the logo is too much work - put a placeholder and let us know - we will do another contest for the logo.
we are after that web 2.0 feel.
- .
we have no ability to take our ideas into action at this point so let'sjust focus on ideas and leave out the action part (i.e. the 'see'section on mystarbucksidea.com).
- Also - I've put down a lot of stuff above - use you discretion on what to keep and what to throw out - I would like to stress simplicity and web 2.0 over complexity.

New CREST® Condensing Boiler Models Now Available
New CREST® Condensing Boiler Models Now Available
Lochinvar, LLC is pleased to announce that its advanced CREST® Condensing Boiler is now available with inputs up to five million Btu/hr. Orders are currently being accepted for the new five million Btu/hr (FBN5000) and four million Btu/hr (FBN4000) models. Along with the addition of the larger models, Lochinvar has also expanded the line to include a dual fuel gas train. Additional product enhancements include lower firing input derate numbers in high altitude applications.
Since its introduction, the CREST Condensing Boiler has swept the industry with its fire-tube technology integrated with Lochinvar's exclusive SMART TOUCH™ operating control. Offering thermal efficiencies as high as 99 percent, the newly extended CREST line brings exceptional energy-efficiency and design flexibility to the largest commercial applications. The new FBN5000 and FBN4000 take CREST's offering to the next level for new construction and energy retrofit installations in buildings of any size.
Adding to CREST's versatility, Lochinvar is now offering models with dual fuel capabilities. Currently the dual fuel gas train is offered on the 1.5 to 3.5 million Btu/hr models, and the new larger models will soon be offered with dual fuel. A keypad switch on the front panel of the boiler allows for a smooth and simple conversion from natural gas to propane.
To increase CREST's performance in high altitude applications, Lochinvar updated the line to offer lower derate numbers. On the 1.5 to 3.5 million Btu/hr models, the derate is less than two percent per 1,000 square feet above sea level. With the new 4.0 and 5.0 models, no derate is experienced at high altitudes.
"CREST continues to make waves throughout the industry, and our recent additions and enhancements make it an even smarter choice for meeting today's building standards," stated Stirling Boston, director of marketing for Lochinvar, LLC. "As the most advanced, high-performance option available, CREST delivers efficiency and ease-of-use in applications of all sizes."

If you follow this blog at all, you know that I recently did a giveaway with a good friend that I have known since high school (which in total number of years is a lot longer than I care to admit...not that I don't appreciate having this friend in my life for such a long time, but I sometimes feel like I am still in my early 20s and having a friend for 20+ years just seems...well, OLD...yikes). Anyway, this friend and I collaborated, and with our own funds provided a total of $100 worth of Pampered Chef products to 2 lucky, randomly drawn winners. (key words: RANDOMLY DRAWN)
Readers from across the nation commented and entered. Traffic wasn't outrageously out of the ordinary, but people that have been reading this blog came out of the darkness and let us know they were here. Every new Pampered Chef wish list made me smile, and references to the recipes I have shared made me giddy. It was an extremely fun week of reading what you had to say. I liked it.
When the day of the magical drawing arrived, I was busy with life outside of the online world but just as anxious to learn who the winners would be as all of those that had entered the contest. I had considered using an online random number generator to chose the winners. However, as the hours ticked by and I still hadn't had time to research that option, I decided that an old school, name in the hat, or Pampered Chef Batter Bowl, would do. I detailed this process in my blog post announcing the winners. I hoped that everyone would find it fair. But, everyone didn't.
The day after the winners were announced, someone chose to reach out to me with their grievances. It was done anonymously through the contact form here on the blog and with a bogus email. This person was angry. This person felt cheated. This person called me a liar.
It seems that this person also must have local ties to my area. I am not sure how else to explain the so-called "information" they spewed in such ugly terms. You see, both of the winners that I randomly drew--with my eyes closed--from my Pampered Chef Batter Bowl have ties to the specific area where I live. This was the reason for the hate mail. They felt I had rigged the drawing to hand-choose people that I knew.
I didn't. The names drawn were PURELY BY CHANCE. In fact, if the totally honest, cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die truth be told, when I drew two names that I personally knew, I thought about throwing them back and drawing again. Really. I had hoped this giveaway would give me an opportunity to get to know a broader selection of my readers. I had hoped for a chance to reach out and build new relationships. Drawing names of people new to me fit that sort of PR idea, but that isn't what happened. That wasn't the luck of the random draw. I randomly drew names of people that I knew, and I honestly stuck with those two winners.
And so, I received hate mail. At first, it upset me, but now I am shrugging it off. (Kinda, I guess...if I shrugged it off totally, I wouldn't be blogging about it, huh?) I am going to choose to believe that it wouldn't matter which names jumped into my hand when I did the drawings. Some people are never happy. Haters are gonna hate.
And, as for a recipe to go with this rambling, whining, not-sure-what-the-whole-point-of-this-is tale? How about Beet Marmalade? Beets are a polarizing vegetable. People love them. People hate them. When I found a Beet Marmalade on Pinterest toward the end of summer, I knew that my love for beets demanded that I make it. The earthiness of the beets pairs really well with the citrus and ginger. I like it spread on biscuits or toast, but it could make an interesting appetizer with goat cheese on crackers. I love Beet Marmalade, and it doesn't bother me that the haters are gonna hate.
4-6 medium-large red beets
2 cups sugar
2 large lemons
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Trim the beets leaving about a half inch of stalk intact and remove the thin root end.
Wrap each beet with foil and place on baking sheet in oven for about 45 minutes to an hour. (Beets are done when they yield to pressure.)
Cool and peel. (If you are messy like me, don't wear white. Beets are colorful, to say the least.)
Place the beets in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. (I went for an apple sauce-like consistency.)
Transfer the beets to a heavy saucepan and stir in the sugar.
Cut the lemons, skin and all, into large chunks (remove all seeds) and place in food processor along with the chopped ginger and pulse until finely chopped.
Add the chopped lemon and ginger to the beets and sugar and stir to blend.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the marmalade has thickened a little, about 2-5 minutes.
Ladle into hot, sterilized jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace, and seal.
Process in boiling-water bath for 15 minutes.
