Fact: Bay Areans are a book-loving bunch. Fact: People here are huge food fans.
So is it any wonder, then, that this neck of the woods has a thriving cookbook club culture?
There are differences in how each group operates, but here's what they all have in common: A desire to share good food and good books about food.
Omnivore Books on Food owner Celia Sack has a theory about the resurgent interest in breaking out the cookbook collection and making meals at home. "Every time there are major industrial advances, there is a push-back to older ways that are hands-on, and one way to achieve that is through food," she notes, citing the Industrial Revolution from which the Arts & Crafts movement was born. "Today we have the Internet and smart phones to make virtual connections but spending time with family and friends making food is an easy way to make an actual connection."
Sack recently launched a cookbook mail order club. Four times a year members receive a new, signed cookbook selected by Sack from the culinary titles that fill her shop. Begun as a gift-giving idea over the holidays, Sack says her list of sign-ups is running about half-and-half between people treating themselves to the latest from, say Madhur Jaffrey or Amanda Hesser, and those sending a gift to someone else. Membership costs $160 a year and can be customized (vegetarians can skip the meat tomes, for example.)
Each of the five cookbook clubs below has its own flavor. You'll also find advice from a seasoned cookbook club organizer about how to start your own group.
Cooks' Book Club — Berkeley
Three fixtures of Berkeley's chi chi shopping strip on 4th Street — Books Inc., Cafe Rouge, and The Pasta Shop — have joined forces to create a monthly meet up mixing food, wine, and conversation. The club kicks off this Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Cafe Rouge with Rosetta Costantino's cookbook My Calabria : Rustic Family Cooking From Italy's Undiscovered South. (Read an earlier Bay Area Bites post on My Calabria.) Subsequent events will be held on the fourth Tuesday of the month, rotating through the three locations.
Costantino will read and share recipes, including stuffed pizza with chard and dill, salt baked sea bass, and cauliflower salad, all paired with Southern Italian vino. Books will be on sale, dishes and drinks sampled, ingredients made available, and discussion will no doubt follow. The event costs $20; admission prices may vary some for each program, depending on what food and wine is on offer.
Up next for the Cooks' Book Club: Gordon Edgar, author of Cheesemonger: My Life on the Wedge, on February 22 at The Pasta Shop, followed by dessert diva Alice Medrich, author of the Chewy, Gooey, Crispy, Crunchy, Melt-In-Your-Mouth Cookies on March 22 at Cafe Rouge.
18 Reasons Food Lit Club — San Francisco
Heather Knape decided to convene a Food Lit Club at 18 Reasons just over a year ago when someone at her regular book group suggested she might want to pick some non-food books for the group to read. The life-long food and farm lover, who blogs about feeding her family at eating dirt, realized she needed a different club to dish about all things edible.
Members make a three-month commitment to the club, after which you can decide whether you want to continue or choose to give up your coveted spot to a newcomer.
Books can be bought from Omnivore Books (20 percent of profits go to fund the work of the nonprofit food group 18 Reasons) or you can bring your own. The group gathers on the third Sunday of the month from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 18 Reasons. It's a B.Y.O. nibbles kind of deal, typically a rotating snack roster or potluck affair.
Each quarter the group reads something old, something new, and something local, so authors can come too. This month the group discussed Home Cooking by Laurie Colwin. February's pick is Fresh by Susanne Friedberg, followed by An Extravagant Hunger: The Passionate Years of M.F.K. Fisher by Anne Zimmerman, who will put in an appearance. Previous picks include Cheesemonger, The Righteous Porkchop: Finding a Life and Good Food Beyond Factory Farms by Nicolette Hahn Niman and Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food by Paul Greenberg.
Knape moderates the meet ups and sends out discussion questions in advance.
Williams-Sonoma Cookbook Club — Los Gatos, Monterey, Palo Alto, Pleasanton, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Walnut Creek
The high-end kitchen store Williams-Sonoma's cookbook club offers cooking classes by in-house chefs showcasing recipes in a cookbook featured each month, often one of their own titles.
The classes cost $75, and include cooking tips and techniques, a three-course tasting menu, and the cookbook. Reservations are required and space is limited; class times vary by store location.
Last month the store featured Mad Hungry: Feeding Men and Boys by Lucinda Scala Quinn, next up is the Williams-Sonoma Weeknight Fresh + Fast by Kristine Kidd, the former food editor of Bon Appetit, followed in March by Williams-Sonoma Good Food to Share by Sara Kate Gillingham-Ryan, founder of the popular cooking site The Kitchn.
Library.101 — Anywhere and Everywhere
You don't even have to leave home to connect with other cookbook lovers. Heidi Swanson's home-grown food blog 101 Cookbooks recently launched Library.101, where readers can connect in cyberspace with fellow food aficionados to review cookbooks, highlight their favorite dishes, and offer recipe tweaks based on their own kitchen experience.
A couple of standout reviewers have emerged on Swanson's site, which draws an enthusiastic, healthy cooking crowd with culinary smarts. It's early days, but Swanson says cookbooks published long ago could experience a revival with a new generation of cooks through her forum, which attracts participants from as far away as Australia and Amsterdam. "I love seeing the interaction between members," says Swanson. "You see friendships emerging and people helping each other, often from opposite ends of the globe."
Cook/Book Club — Napa
Started five years ago by Napa Valley Register food writer Betty Teller, the Cook/Book Club has a pretty impressive professional pedigree, with just a few civilians in the mix. We're talking cookbook author Janet Fletcher, pastry chef Annie Baker, chefs, foragers, Slow Food folks, wine guys — even a registered dietician who works with The Biggest Loser TV show. The group meets every two months to dine and dish. Everyone picks a recipe from the featured cookbook to make and during the dinner each person describes what they made, and offer their thoughts on the recipe and the book in general. The conversation flows. One hard and fast rule: No recipe tweaking. Tough for veteran chefs.
Local authors whose books have been featured by group members have even joined the festivities, including Joyce Goldstein (Italian Slow and Savory), Flo Braker (Baking for All Occasions), Joey Altman (Without Reservations), and Cindy Pawlcyn (Big Small Plates). "As the group has evolved –and no one has dropped out — this has become a truly great dinner party with phenomenal food and excellent company, that has its basis as a book club," explains Teller. "We have our theoretical discussion questions which we largely ignore."
Teller's group isn't taking on any new members. She encourages people to start their own.
Her advice for beginning cookbook club organizers:
- Invite a mix of people who don't all know each other well to keep things interesting.
- Include singles and marrieds but think long and hard about couples, which can change group dynamics.
- Find people equally interested in cooking, and if you're going to cook too, with fairly similar culinary skills.
- Seek out folks with similar edible interests — whether omnivores, vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free.
- Consider size: About 15 is a good number, so if people miss a meeting there's still a critical mass.
- Give it time to grow. It can take a few meetings for things to gel and people to commit to coming.
- Keep track of who hosts, what books are chosen, and create a calendar for the year for planning purposes.

Thanks so much - that is a great reminder for me to look for gooseberries tomorrow at the market. And good to know that the red ones haven't as much flavor. Have a wonderful Holiday! - Lilly
Bec, I would love to somehow get your pics of the scrappy quilts to use as future references. I tried to copy and paste them into my user notes, but that didn't work. Do you know how I can save them for future use?
1 Thanks
bec thanked for this post
Thanks so much Bec! I am not a fast quilter because I tend to get slowed down by the detail work but I don't think I would be happy doing it differently! You have some very beautiful work yourself Bec! I so love your Dresden Flower Garden! It is wonderful workmanship and I just love the quilting and fabric choices!
1 Thanks
bec thanked for this post
Thank you so much for the info and the links. This looks like the perfect little bag. I want one to use as a purse when I travel and is small enough to stuff into my carry-on tote for the plane. If I can get my act together, I can have it for the fall get together.
Thanks for getting back with me!! I am going to check out the link and definitely remember to put your input in on the pattern. Thanks again!!
Looks like I commented once before on that gorgeous quilt! I guess I probably will again next time I see it on the random pictures! It's amazing..
Bec, that is great! Does it look like it would be hard to make?
Bec...thank you for the comments about my mother's quilts. She loved making them and giving them to family and friends. I think she may have sold 1 of her many quilts, the rest were gifts. I hope you can find the patterns that you like. Mom was really good at looking at pictures of quilts in magazines and figuring out how to make it. The Eagle quilt that she made for me I found in a magazine and said how much I loved it...she made it for me. I have some of that talent of looking at a quilt and figuring it out. I wish she were still here to share my love for quilting now...but I know she is watching me and I have a picture of her in front of my sewing area and I talk to her. Crazy I know!
Sewing the binding is one of my favourite parts. Maybe it's because I can see that I'm nearly finished. It's not so much my hands that get sore but my finger from pushing the needle. It has been known for me to pierce my skin! A small price to pay
Thanks bec! It is a stunning quilt - I can only hope to be half that good some day. You are a great inspiration to us newbies! Lisa

Portable Charger?
Portable Charger?
A parked model S would probably use more energy at rest than what you can produce in a bicycle. So, good plan for the exercise, but not so good for charging your car.
Roadside assistance companies are adjusting to EV needs. So roadside assistance from Tesla or someone else is your best bet, in my opinion.
Here is one example:
A 110v plug would do better than any manual generator would, and there's quite a few of those around these days ;)
LOL, sorry i had to laugh out loud, imagine driving down the hwy and you see an ecar stuck on the side and the owner pedaling on a bike like a mad cow to get some extra juice ahahahhahah
The range anxiety issue is there because the M85 effective range at normal highway speeds with HVAC is about 225 miles at best. It is ok for some out of town trip, but not enough in many cases. Tesla should offer the option to convert the Frunk space for additional battery capacity. They could have 2 options - one that just uses the space behind the net, the other that uses most of Frunk space.
The Frunk has a capacity of 5.3 ft3. That is 9,158 in3. If each 18650 Li-ion cell plus the cooling system takes 2 in3, that volume is good for 4,579 cells. Using 4Ah Panasonic cells, total power stored would be about 18.3 KW-hr. Total KW-hr would be 103 KW-hr. Even for some increased friction due to the weight increase, the range would be 274 miles. Nominal miles would be 350 miles. Just looking at possibilities.
Only Tesla could do this kind of upgrade because it would need power management, cooling system, beef the suspension, etc. I suspect Elon would never do something like this. He is going to opt for superchargers for now and in a couple of years offer a 500 mile battery using the same footprint.
Anyway, most folks have 2 cars... one can be ICE for now. Till the 500 mile battery shows up along with national supercharger network.
"Is there any tech on the rise in Tesla for portable quick chargers in case of emergency?"
This just basically amounts to having an extra battery. You would get the same effect by software-limiting a portion of the battery as a virtual "reserve battery". And in effect, the Model S does this already. The range indicator can drop below zero and still drive for a little while.
It's much more effective to simply work to improve battery capacity and make batteries cheaper.
"Or it would be a great idea to have some sort of manual charging system. Like a pedal generator that you can crank in order to charge the battery back up manually."
This is not practical. It takes a large amount of energy to move a 3,000 - 4,000 lb. vehicle. I bet you would not be able to generate enough electricity to go even a mile.
Have you ever been to science museum where they have a hand-cranked electrical generator connected to a 100 Watt light bulb? Try it, it's very tiring to keep the light bulb lit for any good length of time. That's just 100 Watts. When you are cruising at 55 mph on a flat road, the Model S uses 5,000 - 15,000 Watts.
A reasonably fit bicycle racer (not a casual rider) can probably crank at 350 W for an extended time. So after 1 hour, he can produce enough electricity to move the car 1 mile. I think it's more efficient to just tie a rope to the back of a tricycle and try to tow the car :-)
I once saw a Zap car (one of those crappy little three-wheel penalty boxes) on the side of a road in the hills above Palo Alto with a Honda generator buzzing away. I had to laugh. Those generators weigh over a hundred pounds and can generate about maybe 3000 W.
I think if Tesla could innovate on a bike charger that can efficiently charge in addition to charging to the wall, it would appeal to a lot of people that are buying a Tesla to reduce carbon footprints. People like myself use exercise machines at home everyday after work and it seems like wasted energy. Although the idea behind Tesla is to reduce car emissions, the power needed to charge the Tesla, still comes from a power source that still uses coal and other "non-clean" solutions. It is also at times just as costly as fuel. If for example, we were to all use Tesla cars, the rate of charge for electricity would be through the roof. We are then left to use alt fuel sources to provide energy for the "clean" vehicle. Maybe a solar and wind mount in addition to a wall mount would be nice? The point being to use as little outside energy as possible.
I guess solar doesn't make much sense since you're charging at night at least for day to day drivers...
That's where the grid utilities come in handy. Heard of them?
@Young Moon,
Regarding your idea to use exercise equipment to charge your Tesla: It will work but not very well. A fit human can exert about 500 watts or 1/2 a kilowatt for about a half hour (varies, of course, with fitness level). That would produce about 1/2 kWhr per hour. If the Model S can travel 3 miles on a kWhr, that would get you about 0.75 miles from your hard workout.
The good news is that the major growth in electricity generating capability today is from clean alternative energy sources, not coal or hydrocarbons. You can also easily purchase your own solar to put on your roof if you wish to help out and potentially even save money.

When I am preparing for a research trip, I bring along all of the necessities: my laptop, my Flip-pal scanner, a magnifying glass, little colored Post-it flags, a change purse for copies, my digital camera, you know what you need to bring. Oh! And my glasses! I forgot those one time and paid a dear price.
I also take along my 15-generation pedigree chart. I still use a paper copy of a pedigree chart, for it serves as my road map for research. Plus, if I happen to step away for a moment while in the library, I almost always come back to see other researchers looking at it! They want to see if we connect. I also take a few extra to give out, for people are always asking me where I get them.
But, I love looking around the areas where I research. The hills and hollers of Kentucky with the fields of tobacco waiting to go into the tobacco barns. I love looking at the rolling green hills of Virginia, with the peaks of the Appalachian Mountains and their beauty. The grandeur of all of this wonderful land takes my breath away.
I have also visited and photographed a few of the homes of my ancestors. One that stands out in my memory is that of Zachariah Johnston in Lexington, Virginia and has been on the market for awhile. It was built in 1797.
The price tag is $1,500.00. I want it.
But, my people didn't stay in one place. They moved on to other areas that were considered "the west". That would have included Kentucky, and also the Northwest Territory, which included Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and a portion of Minnesota.
People moved for many reasons: in Virginia, it might have been because the land had been "burned" by raising tobacco year after year. They may have received land for military service. There may have been extreme climate conditions. Do a google search on "the year without a summer 1816" and you will be astounded at the effects of volcanic ash from Mount Tamboro, which erupted in Indonesia. It snowed through the summer, creating ice on ponds from New England to North Carolina. Crops were destroyed and people didn't know how they would feed their families through the winter.
There was also the promise of bigger and better things. Young people left New England to come to Ohio and they rarely went back. After that devastating year without a summer, the word went out that in Ohio, you could raise 3 foot turnips and 14 foot tall cornstalks. Let's go!
Perhaps there had been the death of the patriarch of the family. The oldest son received the land, so as a younger son you knew that whatever you may have received was all that you were going to receive. We'll just move on. And, they did.
Most migrating New Englanders were to the Western Reserve. Those in the mid-South went on to Kentucky, Tennesse, Southern Ohio. I have seen entire neighborhoods in Virginia move to the area along the Ohio River. What brought them there? Industry. Promise of a brighter future for their families.
All of the above reasons were take

When Microsoft launched Kinect in Japan, it roped in schoolgirl idols from girl group SKE48 to sell the thing. Just Dance Wii is following suit.
The commercial features schoolgirls dancing to SKE48 sister group, AKB48. That pop outfit is no stranger to gaming. There have been two AKB48 PSP games.
In Japan, schoolgirls are often used to sell, well, just about everything—whether that be life insurance, cell phones, or even bicycles. There's the obvious cute appeal, but they also represent being young, healthy, and happy. In one word: youth.
The Japanese version of Just Dance Wii will be released this October.

Gov. Tom Corbett got a cool reception when he addressed a central Pennsylvania university's graduating class.
The (Harrisburg) Patriot-News says the that when the governor stepped to the microphone Saturday at the Millersville University ceremony, about a dozen students turned their chairs away from the stage.
About half of the faculty members wore yellow pins saying "I support public education, "and a few also turned their chairs away.
A black armband protest that had been discussed on campus failed to materialize.
Some students and faculty members had objected to Corbett's appearance, citing proposed cuts in funding for state universities.
Patty Garner, of Hanover, who graduated with a history degree, said she had hoped to pay for her education with federal loans but was forced to take out private loans.
"It's important not just to me, but to my parents, who both work full time and provide a lot of support for me," Garner said.
Colleen Abrams, a social work major from New Jersey, said she was disappointed that Corbett had been invited.
"I just feel like he didn't support state funding for education," said.
Others, however, said anyone bothered by the governor just shouldn't listen - and really, most people wouldn't anyway.
"It's not a big deal," said Michael Carpenter, a business administration major from West Chester. "You're not going to remember in 10 years who you're commencement speaker is. It's not Oprah. It's not Seth MacFarlane."
Corbett told the audience that their real education was just beginning.
"Success is less about genius than it is about effort," he said. "This university taught you, but, more importantly, it made you a particular kind of person: curious, ambitious, impatient and ready to play a role in the larger world."
The closest he came to alluding to the funding issue came in a story about how Thomas Edison lost millions of his own money creating a process for extracting iron ore.
Now mind you, it was his own money he was spending, not somebody else's," Corbett said. "It's easy to spend somebody else's money, which is a habit we have been trying to change in Harrisburg."

Guidelines to Choose the Best Web Designer
It takes immense talent and skills to design a web page which is creatively designed, neatly coded, easily downloadable, displays properly on different browsers and above all, can be indexed easily by search engines as well. This is why it becomes more important to choose a company which has a team of talented web and graphic designers, equipped to give you a high quality web solution.
Here are some useful tips to help you choose an efficient web designer.
Check out the previous works
Ask the company to show you the portfolio of their web design agency london . Most good web and graphic design companies will have a neatly done portfolio in their website itself.
The prior works of the designers highlight not only their talent but also what you can expect from them. Analyze whether all the pages are easy to navigate, whether the designs are impressive and professional, is the layout effective etc. Only after you are satisfied with the previous works, you should move further.
Give importance to HTML knowledge
Make sure that the web designer uses HTML to build a site along with cascading style sheets i.e. CSS. The knowledge of CSS is important for a designer as CSS allows the designer to easily and quickly make system-wide changes to the site.
This helps in saving time and energy and of course, cost. A good designer must be in the know of these things. If your designer is not familiar with CSS, then you'd better leave the task for some other designer.
Know about the features
Inquire what kind of features your web designer can provide you in your website. There are plenty of features available in web solutions today but you must know what exactly you would need. Your web designer must be able to suggest you the features that would make your site attractive and user-friendly.
For example, if you are building a product-selling site, you can have some flash components to enhance the appeal of your home page, a good admin panel to manage visitors and sales, security features to ensure secure payment gateways and so on.
Updating criteria
It is essential to know beforehand, how the web and graphic designer plan to have the site updated. It is better to have the ability to update the website on your own with the help of Content Management System (CMS), or user-friendly admin panel type interface which allow one to make changes to static content. Paying the designer every time you need to update your site is an expensive proposition and quite unnecessary in today's hi-tech web world.

Hey guys-
I really want to make an HL mod, and the biggest help I need is someone to actually program it. I can do most of the maping and finding a modeler shouldnt be that hard
From what I hear if you are a good C++ programmer, making an HL mod shouldnt be that hard or big of an adjustment.
The majority of gameplay is laid out, but the plot isnt that well thought out yet. I would apreciate it if you could take a minute of your time and tell me what you think.

Visitors watch as adventurous baby bears make surprising escape at Houston Zoo
Houston Zoo went on alert yesterday after two baby bears climbed the wall of their enclosure and escaped as visitors watched.
The two adventurous orphans, Belle and Willow, are black bear cubs who recently arrived from California where they had already become famous for making friends with patrons at a bar.
They were put in their exhibit for the first time around noon Thursday.
Thirty minutes later, the 6-month-old and 8-month-old were roaming free high up in a planter area. One spent two hours up a tree.
Zoo officials say they quickly sealed the exhibit and the bears never actually made it into a public area.
They say they've kept other bears in that same enclosure for years and never had a problem.
Little did they know, these were no ordinary bears.
"We were keeping a close watch on them because they were new in the exhibit. They had been playing around in their pool and trying some of the walls but not getting anywhere," said Beth Schaefer, curator of primates and carnivores at the zoo. "Then they just found one corner where they could get their little claws in."
Time to come home
Belle, the older bear, was quickly lured back into her crate with food but the younger one, Willow, was out for two and half hours.
"She thought it was very fun to climb the trees," said Schaefer.
The zoo team brought in a bucket crane like the kind used by window cleaners and hoisted the zoo director and the area supervisor up above where the bear was hiding in the branches.
The animal then decided enough was enough and climbed back down and into her exhibit on her own.
"We were certainly surprised, we were not expecting to spend our afternoon like that," Schaefer said.
How they became celebrities
The bear's pals in California weren't so shocked. When we called the state's Department of Fish and Wildlife to ask if they remembered the pair, staff answered, "Oh yes, those two!"
Tony Virgilio, the owner of Reyes Bar and Grill in Maricopa, Calif., said, "Oh my goodness," calling to his wife to tell her, "Yogi and Booboo escaped!"
He saw firsthand the bears' colorful past.
Virgilio said the older bear, now called Belle, had spent about two months at the campsite where his bar is located after her mother was killed. "You know that story about bears stealing picnic hampers? Well, she got real good at that," Virgilio said.
Eventually, people just fed her.
"She was pretty hungry, and people thought she was so cute no one looked at her as a threat. They kept feeding her, even though we try to teach them not to," Virgilio said.
The second bear turned up a few weeks later and the two became celebrities, often playing with the local kids.
The campground staff eventually got worried about what would happen when the bears grew up, so they called the rangers.
They're adorable, from a distance
"They're really cute when they're 25-pound cubs, when they get to 300 pounds, they're not so cute," says Beth Schaefer from the zoo.
Schaefer adds that even now, weighing 55 and 60 pounds, the bears could certainly be dangerous.
"They have claws, they have teeth. They are still babies, so they dont have the same instincts as adults, they're not as territorial but they're always a safety risk," she said.
The bears will likely spend their lives in captivity now because they became too tame to ever be rehabilitated.
"Everybody misses them," said Virgilio. "The kids used to walk right up and sit with them. They will be a great addition to your zoo over there."

American Right to Life yanks Buck endorsement
American Right to Life spokesman Bob Enyart said today that his organization will pull its endorsement of GOP Senate hopeful Ken Buck because "he's already broken every pro-life campaign promise he's made."
Enyart told The Denver Post that he's going to issue a statement to "all pro-life voters" Friday urging them not to vote for Buck because he has backtracked on a primary campaign promise that he would never vote on a Senate confirmation of anyone who is "pro-abortion."
Buck has since said he would never use abortion as a litmus test for Senate confirmations, and he didn't know at the time that "pro-abortion" meant "pro-choice."
"He's making a distinction between pro-choice and pro-abortion, which no pro-life group makes," Enyart said. "He played us for fools and he did it successfully."
Enyart also said he is dismayed that Buck said he supported the personhood amendment during the primary and now refuses to take a position on Amendment 62, which guarantees constitutional protections to "any human being from the moment of conception."
Colorado Right to Life vice president Leslie Hanks also weighed in, saying in a blog post that, "we would rather he be a statesman than a politician … the care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government," she said, quoting Thomas Jefferson.
Because Enyart would not support Buck's opponent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet either, he says he's asking pro-life Christians to vote for gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo and for the personhood amendment. As for the U.S. Senate race, Enyart says voters can "write someone in."
Buck's campaign spokesman Owen Loftus said Buck is solidly pro-life and still has the support from the National Right to Life. The National Right to Life does not support personhood.
"The fact is, Ken is pro-life," Loftus said. "He has several prolife organizations supporting him, but as we've said from the beginning, this is about fighting for jobs and controlling spending in Washington."

Absolutely incredible! Our first Moslem President has made the ineptitude of the Carter years look like sheer genius. How is it that someone, who is supposedly so tuned-in to all things Moslem, can misread the entire Middle East for so long?. Unless by purposeful intent, which I suspect is more truth than fiction, denigrating and denying our allies and giving aid and comfort to our enemies.
Watching the knuckleheads of the Lame Stream Press contorting themselves, to somehow spin what's occurring across the Arab world, would be funny if it weren't so tragic. The events in Cairo and Libya, by any definition, are an act of war against the United States of America. By any definition, that is except the feckless inept tools of the MaoBama government, headed by the mindless cackling coming from the State Department's foggiest, none other than the Hildebeast herself, Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose grandiose visions of herself as president in 2016 just went up in flames, along with our embassy in Libya. Sovereign American territory violated by carefully planned and orchestrated acts of war by Islamists.
The sideshow perpetrated by the Lame Stream Media bears upon the so-called film by Nakoula B. Nakoula, a Coptic Christian residing in Southern California, purported to be the 'source' of the 'rage' engulfing much of the Middle East. There are reports that Nakoula, already on Federal probation for bank fraud and other 'financial' irregularities, including using relatives names to open fraudulent accounts, may have been attempting to use the film to raise capital from investors and then abscond with the funds. Side show indeed. The LSM, desperate to run cover for MaoBama's catastrophic foreign policy ineptitude, is still trying to convince somebody… anybody… that this is the source of the Moslems' anger at the US and all things western.
No matter how you slice it, the blood of our Ambassador and the other Americans who died at the hands of these Islamist animals is on the hands of Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton. There was a time in the not-too-distant past when any such behavior by any foreign government would have triggered an immediate response by our government, usually backed up by military force.
MaoBama's ineptitude is glaringly visible to the entire world. It really says something when, here at home, Mexican Police are arresting real al Qaeda operatives who are attempting to penetrate our borders disguised as Mexican illegals. Not that penetrating our southern border is all that tough. Hundreds of thousands of illegals of all descriptions have flooded across our borders since MaoBama took office… not that the Republicans under George Bush were much better.
It's a very dangerous game that MaoBama and his incompetents are playing, in an increasingly dangerous world. We have placed our best and closest ally, Israel, in the unenviable position of having to attack Iran by themselves, as a direct result of MaoBama's cowardly incompetence. But, attack they will, and sooner rather than later. I fully expect Obama to then grandstand and make a great show of 'support' for Israel, in order to bolster his non-existent foreign policy credibility.
We have a bare 52 days until the 2012 presidential elections. It's all up to us now. The Tea Party Patriots have to rise up as never before. It will be us, and our allied patriot groups, and all citizens who love their country and seek to maintain freedom for their children, that will have to pull us over the line to victory. Freedom or penury.
It's your choice.

The Soviet Union iced arguably the best team in its history en route to the gold medal. The famous Central Red Army First Five of Larionov, Makarov, Krutov, Fetisov and Kasatonov was in its prime and legendary goalie Vladislav Tretiak made his final international appearance.
The result was one of the most one-side tournaments in modern times. The Soviets recorded a perfect 7-0 record, outscoring their opponents 48-5 and allowing only one goal in the medal round. Nikolai Drozdetsky, a talented winger from Leningrad, upstaged his Moscow colleagues by scoring 10 goals in seven games for the Olympic champs.
Czechoslovakia, which lost 2-0 to the Soviets on closing day, claimed the silver medal and Sweden the bronze. Dave King's Canadian team placed fourth, failing to score a single goal in three medal round games. Canada defeated the defending Olympic champions from the United States 4-2 in the first game of the tournament, and ran up four straight wins before losing to Czechoslovakia in the final game of its first-round schedule.
West Germany narrowly missed qualifying for the medal round. They were led by giant centre Erich Kuhnhackl who topped the tournament in scoring with eight goals and 14 points. Despite matching Sweden's seven points in the preliminary round, the West Germans were sidelined because the former registered a better goals differential.

Real Salt Lake knew that sooner or later there was going to be an MLS team that would take former assistant Robin Fraser to be its head coach. That moment finally arrived on Tuesday, as Chivas USA named the former Galaxy player as their new manager.
"We're extremely pleased he's gotten this opportunity," RSL manager Jason Kreis told MLSsoccer.com. "He's been in contention last couple of years and occasionally felt hard done by that he didn't get the opportunity sooner.
"It's well-deserved and no doubt he's going to be fantastic head coach in the league. He leaves a gaping hole in our staff and we have to address it in fairly short order."
The hole is even greater given that Fraser will also be taking along the club's director of the RSL-Arizona youth academy, Greg Vanney, who will now serve as Chivas USA assistant.
Since Fraser was under contract with Real Salt Lake, the two Western Conference clubs have reached an agreement for minimal future considerations, according to RSL GM Garth Lagerwey.
[inline_node:325900]"We were firmly committed to not standing in Robin's way," Lagerwey said. "Robin's interviewed probably four to six jobs at this point and it's become part of our offseason ritual."
Fraser's appointment at Chivas USA was a long process which took place "over a period of several weeks," according to RSL. The club was first contacted by Chivas USA during the 2010 postseason and the process began to heat up in late December when the Goats informed them that Fraser was a finalist.
RSL describe Fraser as a thinker and analytical student of the game who was mainly responsible for the team's international scouting, video scouting and preparing the RSL players for upcoming opponents.
"He tends to look at game from an X's and O's tactical standpoint and a team shape standpoint in a very sophisticated manner," Lagerwey said. "The biggest adjustment he'll have is what kind of leadership style is he going to use.
"He's a little quieter, but he has a presence about him and he won't be doing things that he hasn't done before. He'll do great."
RSL's technical staff will be operating a man down through this week's combine and next week's SuperDraft. The club hopes to compile a list of candidates in the next 7-10 days and reach a decision on a new assistant by the time training camp opens in late January.
"Of our top five to six technical guys we're losing two of them and it's a big loss for our club," Lagerwey said.
"The timing is not ideal for us," Kreis said. "I wish this decision could have been reached earlier. But it is what it is. We've got a lot on our plates next week."

Say you've got an aging laptop that would be perfect for playing WoW or Star Trek Online on your television... if only it had HDMI out - that's where the Atlona AT-HDVieW comes into play.
Running off mere USB power, the Atlona AT-HDVieW takes VGA and 3.5mm audio, combines the signal and outputs it all at 1080P through HDMI. Plus, the scaler/converter communicates with your TV, ensuring the proper output resolution in case 1080P isn't just right.
The Atlona AT-HDVieW will be available later this month for $US120. In the meantime, those Klingons will need pay for what they've done on a 13-inch screen. [Atlona via SlashGear]

Mmm… cover
This morning Doubleday shocked the hell out of me by sending me the book cover for Company. I didn't even know they'd started work on it, which was crafty of them. If I had, I would have been all over them, raising concerns and highlighting issues. Because I'm helpful like that. Instead: bang! Here it is.
And I like it! The majority of novel covers, in my humble opinion, blow like crazy, so I'm hugely relieved to get one that's clean and cool and kind of intriguing. The design is by Michael Windsor, the same guy who did the Jennifer Government cover, so if you noticed a certain similarity of style, well done you.
Now I know what you're thinking. "Well, Max, that looks all right, I guess, but… I dunno, what's the donut for?" To which I am happy to tell you: oh, you'll find out.

HOTSEAT- Mac attack: McAuliffe aims to energize Richmond as governor
Got a question for Democratic candidate for governor Terry McAuliffe? You're likely to get a "big idea" in his response.
After 30 years spent running political campaigns, why choose now as the first time to be a candidate for public office?
"At a time like this," he answers, "anyone who has big ideas ought to run."
How does his experience as chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2000 through 2005 influence how he'll govern?
"I came in with big ideas about how to run our campaigns."
After decades spent fighting to get Democrats elected, how does he hope to work with Republicans as a governor?
"Because I'm a pretty good salesman, and I've got big ideas."
Such is the theme of McAuliffe's candidacy, as he hopes to make the transition from helping to run national political campaigns for Democrats like Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Dick Gephardt, and John Kerry to becoming a political office-holder himself as the next Governor of Virginia.
Of course, having done much of his work for the last two decades inside the Beltway, critics are quick to throw around the c-word: carpetbagger.
"I've lived in Virginia for the last 20 years," says McAuliffe. "I don't think you can live in Northern Virginia without seeing the issues we have with transportation every day. If you think the people in Richmond have done a good job on an issue like that, I'm not your candidate."
While he's complimentary of the way Governors Mark Warner and Tim Kaine have run the Commonwealth, his vision for Virginia is that of a lean, mean, job-creating machine.
"There are so many opportunities out there for Virginia," says McAuliffe. "Let's start a factory for more energy-efficient lithium batteries. Let's manufacture the wind turbines that will be part of the renewable energy this country needs. Let's take advantage of the $178 billion President Obama has just set aside for the digitization of heath care records. Why can't we be at the front of all these innovations and create thousands of jobs for Virginians?"
Despite his vision for the future, McAuliffe's detractors continue to dog him with his past, which includes some potentially polarizing clients. At a recent speech, a heckler repeatedly shouted at McAuliffe, "Where's Hillary?" After the fifth time, McAuliffe had his comeback.
"Hey, I think you've got a crush on her!" McAuliffe shouted back from the stage. "Why don't you let me give you her number?"
Regardless of the outcome of the election, what won't change is the way McAuliffe says he thrives on conflict.
"I love mixing it up," says McAuliffe. "In every office I've ever had, I have put those words of Teddy Roosevelt's on my wall, 'The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.' I love being the guy in the arena."

Easy Tips for Writing an Effective Real Estate Ad
Write a strong opening statement about your home. Something like, "Beautiful brick 2-story house located on a waterfront lot."
Mention one or two major features or benefits of the property in the first 10 to 15 words of the ad. Include things like "located close to schools" or "easy access to I-85."
List key features of the home. Include items such as:
Use descriptive words that will get the reader's attention and increase their desire in touring your house. Example words to use:
Use positive words throughout the ad. "Cozy" instead of "small," "charming" for "old" and "needs TLC" for a home that needs some work are more appealing and can draw more interest.
Avoid using too many abbreviations in the copy. If the ad is confusing or hard to reader, potential buyers will get frustrated with your ad and move on to the next listing. Always be careful to describe the features of the property. Never profile the buyer. Although you may have a likely type of buyer in mind, you should never focus the ad directly at a particular group of people. Consider every financially qualified person a potential buyer. Here are some examples that describe the property:
Include information regarding the price of the home. Ads without prices often mislead home buyers into thinking the home is too expensive.
Don't forget to include contact information. You may want to include several ways to contact you (work number, cell number, email address) to make it easy for potential buyers to get in touch with you.
Write a closing statement encouraging buyers to contact you. Something like, "Give us a call to schedule an appointment to view the property.

Our system "sniffs" those packets, and patent-pending algorithms start working behind the scenes to put together a report for you. What's the catch?

PR is the first spaceborne instrument designed to provide 3-D maps of storm structure. The measurements yield invaluable information on the intensity and distribution of the rain, the rain type, the storm depth and the height at which the snow melts into rain. The estimates of the heat released into the atmosphere at different heights based on these measurements can be used to improve models of the global atmospheric circulation.
PR has a horizontal resolution at the ground of about 4 km and a swath width of 220 km. One of its most important features is its ability to provide vertical profiles of the rain and snow from the surface to a height of about 20 km. PR is able to detect fairly light rain rates down to about 0.7 mm/hr. For intense rain rates, where the attenuation effects can be strong, new methods of data processing have been developed that help correct for this effect. PR is able to separate out rain echoes for vertical sample sizes of about 250 m when looking straight down.

Other interesting names in the top 100 include…
- Laia, 34th for girls. It's a short form of Eulalia in Catalan. Laia ranks 3rd for girls in Catalonia specifically.

- Nerea, 46th for girls. It's based on the Basque word nere, meaning "my" or "mine" — kind of like a Basque version of Mia.
- Triana, 38th for girls. Perhaps inspired by the Triana neighborhood of Seville…?
- Iria, 69th for girls. It might be a form of Irene, based on the ancient Greek word for "peace." The Marian apparitions of Fátima occurred at the Cova da Iria.
- Biel, 71st for boys. It's a short form of Gabriel in Catalan. Biel ranks 5th for boys in Catalonia specifically.
- Ibai, 99th for boys. It's the Basque word for "river." It ranks 4th in both Navarre and the Basque Country.
