China: Pressures are escalating
Market pressure
The negative tone which prevailed in emerging markets (EM) at the end of last year continues to dominate.
The traditional year-end rally failed to materialise in 2015 and the new year is also starting with renewed pressures on a number of EM assets.
This lack of respite shows that the long-term EM bear market is still in place.
The lack of respite is particularly evident in China, where the government's stabilisation measures implemented in the aftermath of the summer 2015 stock market crash have done little to restore investors' confidence.
The renminbi remains under severe pressures and capital flight has accelerated, as evidenced by the continued rapid contraction in FX reserves.
Judging by the current level of FX reserves as % of money supply (M2), the resources available to the central bank to defend the renminbi are diminishing quickly (see charts below).
This rapid contraction in FX reserves has not yet led to a visible domestic liquidity crunch.
Any upward pressures on onshore rates in the next few weeks should be viewed as a sign of renewed liquidity tightening, which in turn would increase the risk of a disorderly financial crisis.
These signs of a liquidity squeeze have already appeared in the offshore market, where the overnight CNH deposit rate briefly spiked to 65% this week (before settling down to more reasonable levels at this time of writing).
We have highlighted previously that China's economic woes have become widely publicised.
Policy contradictions
Some positive policy inflexions also occurred in recent months, especially with regards to reducing inventories and excess supply in some sectors of the economy.
However, there are serious contradictions in the policy prescription that authorities appear to have adopted.
This has created a perception of policy flip flop and has exacerbated fears that authorities are losing control.
The most serious policy contradiction is related to the fact that authorities are easing monetary policy with one hand (cuts in reserve requirement, policy rates and a debt exchange) but are forced to tighten with the other hand. This forced quantitative tightening can be seen in the contraction in the balance sheet of China's central bank (see charts below).
The contraction in the PBOC's balance sheet is the direct result of the decline in its foreign assets (i.e. FX interventions to support the currency).
As a result, narrow money supply measures are also contracting.
In order to arrest this de-facto quantitative tightening, there will ultimately be a need to stop FX interventions.
In other words, pursuing the dual objective of monetary reflation and FX targeting is unsustainable.
Based on historical precedents in other countries, this policy contradiction has often been resolved by a change in FX regime (which involved a maxi devaluation). China will ultimately be forced to make this choice.
The problem is that given the policy ammunitions that Chinese authorities can still use to defend their current stance (moral suasion, repression, capital controls, further drawdown in FX reserves, current account surpluses), this required change in FX regime may still take time to be completed.
Caution advised
The unfolding crisis still appears to be more of a "slow motion crash" rather than the "sudden stop" experienced in other previous EM currency crises.
However, we have to be prepared for this disorderly outcome given the recent signs of failure in the various measures already implemented to contain capital flight.
A broadly cautious investment stance, with a particular focus on liquid EM assets (i.e. which can be sold easily and quickly), remains warranted. For this reason, we continue to avoid the credit space.
The required adjustment that Chinese authorities are continuing to "artificially" supress has already been reflected to a large degree in EM currencies and in selected local bond markets, which have collapsed substantially.
There are compelling pockets of value in these sectors but the upside potential is likely to remain difficult to unlock until China's monetary and foreign exchanges policies become more coherent and more credible.

Oceanhorn 2 demo in Nordic Game 2017!
It is news time! Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm will make a gameplay debut with a playable demo in Nordic Game 2017!
If you are coming to Malmö, head to Epic Games' booth and come and see what we have in store for the new Oceanhorn game! So whether you're a fan, a journalist, a publisher or a fellow game developer – we would be delighted to give you a tour on our game and talk more about Oceanhorn 2.
Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm is a continuation to Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas, a million selling action RPG title released for iOS, Mac, Steam, PS4, Xbox One, Android and later this year for Nintendo Switch. Oceanhorn 2 is powered by the unrivaled Unreal Engine 4.
Nordic Game 2017 17-.19.5. in Malmö, Sweden.
We could not be more excited about Nordic Game ourselves. In addition to Oceanhorn 2's big moment, Fumito Ueda is also going to be in Malmö! He is the mastermind behind Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian and we are big fans of his work. It seems like Action RPG's are only now starting to catch up what Shadow of the Colossus did 12 years ago. The carefully crafted spirit of his games and the brilliance of his game designs are a driving force for game developers like us.

Across America, thousands of people are determined to conserve the places they value. Landowners have a deep connection to their land and know the gifts undeveloped properties provide their communities: clean air and water, fresh food, wildlife habitat, and sheer scenic beauty.
All-too-often these special places disappear forever because of development. Every day, over 5,000 acres of land are developed in the U.S.
If you're a landowner looking to preserve your property, learn more today.
Investing in Green Lake's
How much would you pay for a breath of fresh air? Clean groundwater? Fertile croplands? A healthy lake? How much is this "natural capital" worth to you and me? As it turns out, quite a bit.
Estimates indicate that worldwide Nature's ecosystem services are valued over 44 trillion dollars annually!
As a 501(c)3 non-profit, the Green Lake Conservancy invests in natural capital by offering watershed protection through acquisition, gift, or conservation easement. Lands that have been placed in trust and which support forests and prairies, wetlands and shorelands are now protected forever.
After nearly two decades of land trust service, the Green Lake Conservancy continues to hold steadfast, protecting land and waters in and around the Green Lake watershed.
Help us preserve those special places. Consider making a generous donation to the Green Lake Conservancy.

Apollonia was an ancient Greek city founded in 588 BC – one of many classical cities named in honour of the god Apollo. The city prospered on account of its large port and strategic location on the Thracian coast. At its height, it is said to have had between 50 and 60,000 inhabitants. Aristotle described Apollonia as a prime example of oligarchy, with no trace of democratic institutions. The small Greek community held complete dominion over the large Illyrian population. Greeks and Illyrian lived in separate communities.
Apollonia continued to thrive during the rise of Rome, coming under the control of the Roman Republic in 229 BC. Cicero described it as a great and important city. It was here that Octavian Augustus, who was studying philosophy in Apollonia at the time, received news of Julius Caesar's murder.
The city suffered damage from a series of earthquakes in the 3rd and 4th centuries BC. The quakes shifted the path of the Vjosa river southwards, depriving Apollonia of its port. As the harbour silted up and the land gradually was consumed by swamp, the city declined. It was first investigated by archaeologists during the First World War, when the area was under Austrian control.
Apollonia is only one of many important archaeological sites in Albania which testify to the region's importance to the great cultures that have shaped European history. The most famous is the UNESCO world heritage site of Butrint in Sarande, another ancient Greek city close to the southern border with Greece.

Gina McDonald got Harvard on the board Sunday against Minnesota (Gil Talbot).
Highlights: Women's Hockey vs. No. 2 Minnesota Nov. 27, 2011
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The tone of the game was set early as the two teams combined for four goals in the first five minutes as the Harvard women's hockey team (5-4-0, 5-2-0 ECAC) dropped a 7-3 decision to No. 2 Minnesota (14-2-0, 8-2-0 WCHA) Sunday afternoon at Bright Hockey Center.
Minnesota opened the scoring 1:46 into the first period with a goal from Rachael Bona with assists from Meghan Lorence and Emily West. The Golden Gophers continued the offensive pressure, netting their second goal less than a minute later as Kelly Terry beat Laura Bellamy to make the score 2-0.
Harvard didn't wait long to respond, as Jillian Dempsey centered a pass to Gina McDonald who blasted a one-timer past Noora Raty two minutes later, making the score 2-1. Minnesota got back on the score sheet on the power play as Kelly Terry scored her second of the game with assists from Sarah Davis and Rachel Ramsey. Terry struck again at the 13:25 mark of the first with assists from Mira Jalosuo and West putting the score to 4-1. The Crimson broke through again late in the opening period on the power play as Dempsey buried a shot in a wide open net off a Josephine Pucci centering pass.
In the second, Minnesota added to its lead on a goal from Jen Schoullis with assists from Amanda Kessel and Sarah Erickson making it 5-2. Harvard cut into the lead once again scoring its second power play goal of the game as Sarah Edney took a pass from Marissa Gedman and beat Raty below the faceoff circle cutting the deficit to 5-3.
Minnesota would add two more goals in the third period with goals from Ramsey and West, sealing the 7-3 victory for the visiting Golden Gophers.
Harvard was outshot 25-18 during the contest with Bellamy logging 18 saves to Raty's 15. Pucci, Gedman and Dempsey recorded two points each in the loss while Minnesota's Kelly Terry netted a hat trick in the first period.
Harvard is back in action Wednesday in its second midweek matchup in a seven day span. The Crimson will look to exact revenge against Dartmouth in Hanover, N.H., in a 7 p.m. showdown.

In the last week, our Biological Programs team has introduced two new species of ray to Blacktip Reef!
Reticulate Whipray
Also known as a leopard or honeycomb ray, this species inhabits the coastal and brackish waters throughout the Indo-Pacific. Like most rays, these guys prefer the flat, sandy areas within reef ecosystems.
The largest recorded length of this species (tail, also known as it's "sting," included) is 14.8 feet!
Did you know? In addition to stunning prey, the reticulate whipray's sting is used to help balance and steer.
Black-Blotched Ray
This large ray gets its name from the spotted black and white coloration on its topside. Also an inhabitant of the Indo-Pacific, this species usually sticks to the sandy bottom of the reef.
Black-blotched rays can reach up to 10 feet in disc width!
Have you spotted these new residents on exhibit? Be sure to share your photos with us on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram using #BlacktipReef!

Background. Coach Edmondson grew up in Falls Church, VA. He attended Bishop O'Connell High School where he served as a manager for the Boys Freshmen team during 2001-02 and 02-03. He then attended the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. During his four years at Missouri, Coach Edmondson earned a degree in History and African-American Studies. He now lives in Arlington and teaches World History and Government at Bishop O'Connell.
Coaching Experience. Coach Edmondson began coaching at the age of 14 as an assistant coach for a 10U Braddock Road Boys and Girls League recreational team. For the next 2 years he served as an assistant coach for the Annandale Boys and Girls Club 11U and 12U County League team. The 12U team won the regular season division championship. In 2002-03 Coach Edmondson served as the Head Coach of the 13U Division 2 Annandale Boys and Girls league team.
After moving to Columbia, MO, Coach Edmondson coached 5th and 6th Grade recreational basketball from 2003 to 2006. In the summers of 2004 and 2005, Coach Edmondson returned home to coach the Bailey's Community Center 15U and 13U boys' teams. In 2006 he began coaching the 11U Rising Stars Sports Association Travel team and continued through 2007 coaching the 12u team.
While in College Coach Edmondson also served as a Board Member of Columbia Youth Basketball Association and was the 7th grade league coordinator in 2007. He also was the Secretary of Rising Stars Sports Association from September 2006 to August 2007.
After returning to Northern Virginia Coach Edmondson became the Assistant Junior Varsity Girls coach for the Bishop O'Connell Girls. For the current 2008-2009 season, Coach Edmondson serves as an Assistant coach for the O'Connell Girl's Varsity team.
This is Coach Edmondon's first year with the Matrix; he will be serving as the 13U Black team assistant coach for head coach John Davis, a fellow Bishop O'Connell girls' basketball coach.
Coaching Philosophy. Coach Edmondson is ready to add to his coaching philosophy any time he is in the gym. He has picked ideas up from 5th Grade recreational coaches, Hall of Fame level coaches like Jerry Tarkanian and Bob Huggins and anybody in between. He credits O'Connell Coach Jimmy Brown as being his biggest and best coaching influence, and believes Coach Brown is the most underrated coach in the DC area. Coach Edmondson believes in adopting the best style of play for his personnel. Player development is by far Coach Edmondson's #1 priority in Youth Basketball.

my mother used to make these so many years ago when she cooked for wedding parties.. She would also make for our family. Realy a great touch to a picnic
Aug 22, 2014
I don't think it took an hour to prepare. It was pretty simple to do, and the kids really loved making it with me! My 4 year old boy would not stop smiling, and posing with his watermelon shark, and has even requested this at his birthday!
Jun 27, 2014
We made this last summer for my twin grandsons' birthday. I'm not artistic and was unsure how it would turn out, but it was a huge hit at the shark themed party. Like Sharlette's review, both the adults and children loved it.
Jun 28, 2013
I made this for our VBS refreshment table. We had a sea theme with Noah and Jonah as part of the lessons. I added blue tinted coconut around the bottom of the tray for a water look and gummy sharks swimming in /on the coconut. Everyone loved it, both kids and adults. It is not as hard as it looks to make.
Aug 29, 2012
My shark was a hit. It had more interest from adults than the two children that were at the picnic. I could not find a long watermelon and had to go with the most oval shape watermelon in the store. The mouth just ended up closer to the serving tray. It did take more like 1 1/2 hours to finish. But it was well worth the effort. You could easily make it into a whale by not cutting the teeth and making a tail instead of a fin.

Having just sold out of Rooftop BBQ Sauce, we called to re-order and found out that Green Mountain Grills has added it to their line up of sauces and rubs. The best blog post I could find on this which tells the story:
Green Mountain Grills Pitmaster BBQ Sauce
Last week I alluded to a coming announcement about Rooftop BBQ Sauce. Andy announced just yesterday on the Whiskey Bent Radio Show that team's long time sponsor, Green Mountain Grills, is producing the Rooftop BBQ sauce; repackaged, rebranded and with an improved formula: Pitmaster BBQ Sauce.
Starting next week it will be shipping out nationwide to all GMG stores and beyond. While the team will still be selling the sauce at their events, GMG will be the sole distributor and they will be making it much more available and at a more inexpensive price at $5.99 a bottle. It has also been repackaged in a plastic bottle with a new label and has been thinned out with the addition of apple juice.
Everyone we talk to seems to have an opinion on Andy's decision to do this, but as I may be the only one who truly knows how much Andy works while running a side business—or two— in addition to a full time job. He never stops. Now, taking and shipping sauce orders has been lifted off his shoulders and he can focus on what he truly loves: cooking amazing barbeque.
Big thanks to Samantha Allen for her beautiful blog and having some information on this exciting announcement!

Everyone has a different reason for pursuing a career in aviation. Samuel Tong (Francis Ng) and Vincent Ling (Joe Ma) are both senior pilots with Solar Airways. Although they are best friends and colleagues, they also have a friendly rivalry where they both aspire to become the first Chinese captain at Solar. Isabelle "Belle" Lok (Flora Chan) is a flight attendant who fell in love with Samuel when she first met him in Rome but ends up marrying Vincent instead. Zoe So (Myolie Wu) has always wanted to work for the airline after an unforgettable flight. Isaac Tong (Ron Ng) ends up following in older brother Samuel's footsteps and also becomes a pilot with Solar. Zita Tung (Michelle Ye) is the only female pilot trainee who may have chosen her career to try to find her father.

Move the index database
You can move the index database from one location to another. You do this by changing the path definition of
SPLUNK_DB through the command-line interface of your operating system.
The procedures in this topic assume that the index database is in the default location, created during installation.
If you move individual indexes or parts of an index to separate locations, the procedures in this topic are not valid. For information on the structure of Splunk Enterprise indexes, see How the indexer stores indexes. For information on how to change the location for a single index, see Configure index storage.
Note: Although you can use Splunk Web to change the locations of individual indexes or index volumes, you cannot use it to change the default storage location of indexes,
For *nix users
Make sure the target file system has at least 1.2 times the size of the total amount of raw data that you plan to index.
1. Create the target directory with write permissions for the user that Splunk Enterprise runs as. For example, if Splunk Enterprise runs as user "splunk", give it ownership of the directory:
mkdir /foo/bar chown splunk /foo/bar/
For information on setting the user that Splunk Enterprise runs as, see Run Splunk Enterprise as a different or non-root user in the Installation Manual.
2. Stop the indexer:
splunk stop
3. Copy the index file system to the target directory:
cp -rp $SPLUNK_DB/* /foo/bar/
4. Unset the
SPLUNK_DB environment variable:
unset SPLUNK_DB
5. Change the
SPLUNK_DB attribute in
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/splunk-launch.conf to specify the new index directory:
6. Start the indexer:
splunk start
The indexer picks up where it left off, reading from, and writing to, the new copy of the index.
7. You can delete the old index database after verifying that the indexer can read and write to the new location.
For Windows users
Make sure the target drive or directory has at least 1.2 times the size of the total amount of raw data that you plan to index.
Caution: Do not use mapped network drives for index stores.
1. From a command prompt, make sure that the target directory has permissions that allow the
splunkd process to write to that directory:
C:\Program Files\Splunk> D: D:\> mkdir \new\path\for\index D:\> cacls D:\new\path\for\index /T /E /G <the user Splunk Enterprise runs as>:F
For more information about determining the user Splunk Enterprise runs as, see Install on Windows in the Installation Manual.
2. Stop the indexer:
splunk stop
You can also use the Services control panel to stop the
splunkd and
splunkweb services.
3. Copy the existing index file system to the target directory:
xcopy "C:\Program Files\Splunk\var\lib\splunk\*.*" D:\new\path\for\index /s /e /v /o /k
4. Unset the
SPLUNK_DB environment variable:
set SPLUNK_DB=
5. Edit the
SPLUNK_DB attribute in
%SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\splunk-launch.conf to specify the new index directory:
If the line in the configuration file that contains the
SPLUNK_DB attribute has a pound sign (#) as its first character, remove the #.
6. Start the indexer:
splunk start
The indexer picks up where it left off, reading from, and writing to, the new copy of the index.
7. You can delete the old index database after verifying that the indexer can read and write to the new location.
Configure index storage
Use multiple partitions for index data
This documentation applies to the following versions of Splunk® Enterprise: 6.3.0, 6.3.1, 6.3.2, 6.3.3, 6.3.4, 6.3.5, 6.3.6, 6.3.7, 6.3.8, 6.3.9, 6.3.10, 6.3.11, 6.3.12, 6.3.13, 6.3.14, 6.4.0, 6.4.1, 6.4.2, 6.4.3, 6.4.4, 6.4.5, 6.4.6, 6.4.7, 6.4.8, 6.4.9, 6.4.10, 6.4.11, 6.5.0, 6.5.1, 6.5.1612 (Splunk Cloud only), 6.5.2, 6.5.3, 6.5.4, 6.5.5, 6.5.6, 6.5.7, 6.5.8, 6.5.9, 6.5.10, 6.6.0, 6.6.1, 6.6.2, 6.6.3, 6.6.4, 6.6.5, 6.6.6, 6.6.7, 6.6.8, 6.6.9, 6.6.10, 6.6.11, 6.6.12, 7.0.0, 7.0.1, 7.0.2, 7.0.3, 7.0.4, 7.0.5, 7.0.6, 7.0.7, 7.0.8, 7.0.9, 7.0.10, 7.0.11, 7.0.13, 7.1.0, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.1.3, 7.1.4, 7.1.5, 7.1.6, 7.1.7, 7.1.8, 7.1.9, 7.1.10, 7.2.0, 7.2.1, 7.2.2, 7.2.3, 7.2.4, 7.2.5, 7.2.6, 7.2.7, 7.2.8, 7.2.9, 7.3.0, 7.3.1, 7.3.2, 7.3.3, 7.3.4, 8.0.0, 8.0.1, 8.0.2
The instructions seems to be helpful but there is no mention of Hot bucket/Warm bucket. Do we need to take special care if Index directory has Hot buckets as well? In an old documentation I saw mention of Roll over command to convert Hot bucket in cold bucket, do we have to do same thing in Splunk 7.0 as well in order to migrate index?
The *.dat files in $SPLUNK_HOME/var/lib/splunk should be left in that directory, they will continue to be used from that path, regardless of $SPLUNK_DB variable. Those files store the next bucket IDs. (see SPL-91688)

Cyprus Looks to Protect Smaller Depositors
The Cypriot government is negotiating with international lenders over its €10 billion bailout package which is conditional on the imposition of a one-off bank deposit levy.

OTTAWA — There's a glimmer of hope in some otherwise bleak numbers about the education of Canada's aboriginals: young indigenous women appear to be making clear educational strides.
University of Saskatchewan Prof. Ken Coates, Canada research chair in regional innovation and a leading expert on aboriginal issues, told Postmedia News this week there's anecdotal evidence that indigenous women in their 30s and 40s are returning to college – thus establishing themselves as role models for their children, who are then more likely to go on to their own post-secondary education.
Now, new data support that observation. According to Statistics Canada's National Household Survey, which released fresh figures Wednesday, more than 27 per cent of aboriginal women ages 35 to 44 have a college diploma, compared to 18 per cent of men in that age group and 21 per cent of aboriginal women ages 55 to 64.
Overall, the younger women are more educated. Fourteen per cent have university degrees, for instance, compared to just half that number among men. And while younger aboriginal men hold similar education levels as their older counterparts, 10 per cent more women ages 35 to 44 have post-secondary qualifications than women ages 55 to 64, according to the data.
Yet despite that good news, aboriginal Canadians continue to lag behind non-aboriginals in educational attainment, with the largest gap still at the university level.
Nearly half of aboriginal people ages 25 to 64 have a post-secondary qualification of some sort, according to data from the National Household Survey, compared to nearly two-thirds of non-Aboriginals. Overall, fewer than one in 10 aboriginal people holds a university degree, compared to more than one-quarter of non-aboriginals in the same age group.
Another gap occurs in the number of Aboriginals who have no certificate, diploma or degree whatsoever: nearly 30 per cent, compared to just 12 per cent of non-aboriginal people in the same age group. More than one-fifth of aboriginal people declared a high-school diploma or equivalent as their highest level of education.
The 2011 National Household Survey, to which 2.65 million households responded, replaces the mandatory long-form census, which the Harper government scrapped in 2010. Experts say the voluntary nature of the survey leaves some gaps in the data from groups who tend not to respond to voluntary surveys, including Aboriginals, new immigrants and low-income families. But they also say the data should provide a fairly accurate broad-scale picture of Canada.
The numbers on aboriginal education have inched slightly upward from the 2006 census. But Statistics Canada cautions that comparing the census with the 2011 survey data should take into account that the two sources represent different populations; for example, residents in collective dwellings are excluded from the National Household Survey's target population.
The survey, in dealing with those ages 25 to 64, also doesn't touch a large swath of Canada's Aboriginals, the country's fastest-growing population. Data from the same survey released earlier this year showed that nearly half of Canada's aboriginal people were age 24 and under.
The federal government is touting First Nations education as a cornerstone of its aboriginal policy. Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt has called education his top priority, and the government says it plans to have a First Nations Education Act in place by September 2014.
But the data show little progress for First Nations in some areas. For example, the general proportion of First Nations people with trade certificates and college diplomas — about 13 per cent and 19 per cent, respectively — is largely unchanged from the 2006 census.
The Harper government, in its most recent budget, tried to address the training issue with a new $241-million program that ties income assistance for young Aboriginals on-reserve to skills training. The thought is that training the underemployed aboriginal workforce can help resource development companies working in remote areas deal with skill shortages.
Among people with registered Indian status, the contrast between those on- and off-reserve is stark. More than 10 per cent of those living off-reserve had university degrees, compared to less than five per cent for those on-reserve.
"We know the really serious problems: consistent challenges failing to complete high school and very serious problems with transition into university," said Coates. "The question, really, is why does the problem persist?"
Coates also said it's overly simplistic to track progress in aboriginal education by merely looking at graduation rates. "Let's be careful about using simple graduation rates and participation rates as surrogates for real achievement."
Highest level of education, aboriginals vs. non-aboriginals:
University degree
Aboriginal: 9.8 per cent
Non-Aboriginal: 25.9 per cent
College diploma
Aboriginal: 20.6 per cent
Non-Aboriginal: 21.3 per cent
Trades certificate
Aboriginal: 14.4 per cent
Non-Aboriginal: 12.1 per cent
High school
Aboriginal: 22.8 per cent
Non-Aboriginal: 23.2 per cent

At least a high school diploma
Metis: 73.6 per cent
First Nations: 60.2 per cent
Inuit: 41 per cent

After monster performance, Johnson back in three hole
ST. PETERSBURG -- Kelly Johnson hit third in the lineup for a second consecutive day Tuesday after hitting in the third spot for the first time in nearly two years on Monday.
Johnson went 4-for-5 with two three-run homers, six RBIs, and a stolen base Monday, becoming only the fifth player since 1949 to hit a pair of three-run homers (or more) and steal a base in the same game.
Johnson, who went 2-for-5 with an RBI double in Tuesday's 7-6 win over Miami, now ranks fourth in the American League with a .571 slugging percentage.
Evan Longoria said he hasn't been surprised about Johnson's bat -- he leads the team in home runs with 10 -- but Longoria noted that Johnson is more than just a productive hitter.
"I played against Kelly for a half a year in Toronto, and I had seen him play in the past on TV, and I know he's a talented guy, and he does a lot of things well," said Longoria, citing Johnson's alert steal of third base in Monday's game. "Even last night, him stealing third in that situation, that was a smart baseball play. That's kind of what he brings to this team, not only his ability to hit the ball, but just a total character baseball player. Being able to play multiple positions. Obviously something [Rays manager] Joe Maddon likes and he's taken to all of that really well."

I had seen promo pictures of the the three Brides of Dracula dolls before seeing them in person and decided that I wouldn't be getting them. The last set of vampires that attracted me were from the pen and mind of Anne Rice. I have a vampire slayer in my collection and she's staying. I can't imagine the violence that would occur in my showcases should these 'ladies' arrive on the scene.
But...when I saw the dolls in person, I liked the fashions on two of them enough to consider purchasing them just for the clothing. They look better in person than in the photos.
I don't think these dolls go far enough toward representing vampires. They're just pretty dolls with fangs in gothy fashions. At a price of $149.99, one really needs to like fanged dolls with red or yellow eyes.
The dolls are manufactured by Integrity Toys and distributed by Ashton-Drake Galleries. However, some individual dealers are selling them. They have the 12" Fashion Royalty body. I will find out if these are limited editions.
The blurbs about each doll are very strange. Very, very strange. Some excerpts: "This is one lady that you will never see wearing a crucifix." "...the perfect fashion for feasting on human flesh." "...do we see some dried up blood in the creases of her lips?" Who wrote this garbage? By the way, vampires do not eat flesh.
Why can't a female vampire have several male vampires for husbands? Is this the vampire version of Big Love?
News, reviews and photographs of Modern Fashion Dolls including Kingdom Doll, Fashion Royalty, Sybarite, Tonner Doll, Gene Marshall, Barbie and my own experiences as a doll collector.

I think the bust may be different, but the rest of the body is the same. I'm not sure they are on the FR body exactly as we know it.ReplyDelete

Definite keeper! I also add a can of drained black beans or black eyed peas to this. When fresh corn comes out in the summer, don't skimp on time, fresh shaved corn in this is awesome!

Easy to make and lots of flavor. I used canned chicken, canned fiesta corn, chipotle chili powder, doubled up on the dressing and added black beans. This one is a keeper!

I love this recipe. It makes a large batch and you can add in whatever you want or have on hand. I like to add cherry tomatoes, avocado, black beans and sharp cheddar cheese. It is really good on top of chopped lettuce as a salad, in tortilla wraps or served with Scoops tortilla chips. I usually double the dressing so I have extra if I make a salad out of it.

I don't like vegetables so I try to 'hide' them in foods I'll eat. I like chicken salad well enough so, in a fit of healthy eating, I decided to make this. It-was-delicious! I added black beans to give it a little more color and a couple of roasted jalapenos (minus the seeds) for spice. Aside from that, the only thing I'd really change is .. I might make a larger batch of the dressing. The amount provided is enough.. i just really REALLY like the dressing so... I want more!
Apr 29, 2014
Great recipe and you can make it a little bit differently every time by adding avocado, tortilla chips, black beans, etc. You could also use the precooked Purdue chicken for a quick supper. I love the addition of cilantro.
Jul 20, 2012
I have made this many times since I first found it in the magazine. I love it! I up the spice a bit by using chipotle powder in place of some or all of the regular chili powder (depending on who I am serving it to! :)I think it is even better if made ahead, or as leftovers when the favors have all blended.
Jun 27, 2012
Good use of leftover chicken. Left out the corn since my husband doesn't like it but added a few extra peppers. Good alternative to mayo based chicken salads.
Apr 26, 2012
Wonderful flavor. I omitted the cilantro since my family doesn't like the flavor. It made a healthy meal that the family enjoyed.
Apr 11, 2012
This was pretty good. I used an actual rotisserie chicken from the store, but I think next time I'll just use cubed chicken breast to save time on clean up.
Apr 7, 2012
This is a delicious recipe! Great flavor! I had chicken breast on hand so I used that, and green pepper instead of red pepper. My family loves this dish!

Post subject: Re: DISCUSSION OF THE MONTH: Recipe Deal Breakers
Most often I will avoid deep frying. Others seem to mention similar reasons--messy, waste of good oil, and so on.
The few times I deep fry are for dough nuts and meat balls. Although I usually cook the meatballs in the sauce, once in a while I just crave a deep fried, crusty, yummy meatball sans la sauce.
I am enjoying the forum, and have ordered the dough whisk from the referenced site(thanks for the link!)
Eggplant is one of my favorite foods! I love it prepared as Eggplant Parmesan. Another delicious dish is one I learned at home from Mom--Stuffed Eggplant(using same ingredients as in Stuffed Peppers).
Eggplant is wonderful broiled or roasted with olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper, grated cheese....eat with crusty bread or over pasta.

For an easy bain-marie, simply employ a double boiler.
Bring several inches of water to boil in a pot, then lower to a simmer.
Place an aluminum bowl, of similar size, on top. If the bath seems to be too hot, the heat can be turned off. The steam will continue to heat the contents of the bowl. This is perfect for melting chocolate and also to warm eggs before whipping to obtain maximum volume.
I hope you will try it.

Skinning and seeding tomatoes. I know it's not that hard to do, but I just won't. Also I have an old stove with the broiler on the bottom, so broiling is also a deal breaker. I have to kneel down on the floor to pull out the broiler and I see all the crud under the stove.

>For an easy bain-marie, simply employ a double boiler. <
I'd have to disagree, Bucci. For things that can be stirred--like sauces, and melting chocolate---the misnamed double boiler works fine.
But a bain-marie is most often used for baking certain goodies, such as custards. It's purpose is to assure even heat distribution around the entire perimeter of the product. This prevents hot spots (and, thus, uneven heating), and, in cases like cheesecake, lets the top brown without cracking.
They're really two different techniques.

Sorry, Emilyj, didn't realize we were speaking of the traditional cooking method of bain-marie. Ooops! My limited experience is showing!
My suggestion might be an option for simple processes, such as those I mentioned.

I have a phobia of all baking recipes. I come from a long line of women who never touched a baking pan in their lives.
When I was 12, I tried making a bready dessert dish and the bread to rise wonderfully thanks to the turkey cooking in the oven below the stove, but after that, anything breadlike has been a fiasco.

Am feeling eggplant/aubergine might require some friends....I love them! There's a noodle place in Sydney that does wonder with eggplant, potato, and red capsicum..plus the noodles they make as you watch them being twirled in the air...oops..to the topic!
I tip toe around anything with the word 'yeast' in it...simply years of fear methinks..today I had hot chocolate and a wonderful twisted poppyseed pastry (yeast) in a cafe that sells scrumptious food...told my friend "I'm going to make a batch of those soon." Might give myself a time limit...by the end of August..
'n how can you make churros if not by deep frying
Must admit I used to be wary of deep frying..however it has its place in foodland..
other than yeast? offal...however that's really a head thing with me...
super topic Clotilde..thanks...I'm now inspired to the hilt!

Well, well, well, Clotilde - this topic has certainly brought a lot of lurkers out to play! Welcome everyone.
The thought of cooking fish undoes me - choosing it, finding a good recipe and then not overcooking it. It's all too hard, so I just don't cook it at all. I love eating fish so it's kept as an 'eating out' treat.
And deep frying - all that oil, and the oily smell afterwards. Yuk.

...any recipe that starts with "Take a cup of Cool Whip" ... or marshmallow creme...or any other ingredient that's mostly chemicals and has a shelf life of 30 years. No "fake food".
Sorry...can't do snails, and while I happily consume rabbit, duck, lamb and other Easter-associated animals (I do have a friend who simply can't get past the bunny, duckie thing...), I'm queasy around the idea of buffalo, most game, and anything crawly.
And I don't like deep frying either...but yeast! Wonderful! I can only advise you non-believers to jump right in and give it a try. Watching your own bread rise is like watching your garden grow. Don't deny yourself the delight.
This topic makes me smile. Does anyone remember the scene in the movie "Notting Hill" with Hugh Grant's blind date, an extreme fruitarian/vegetarian foodie type who will eat only those fruits and veggies that have already dropped to the ground of their own accord? She couldn't eat the carrots because they'd been "murdered". Wonder if she'd approve of deep frying??

Coming out of lurkdom...Love the discussion idea!
Fear of Frying: I have never deep-fried anything in my life, and even shallow-frying makes me jump back from the stove in alarm when the grease pops. Sauteeing with a very small amount of oil, or stir-frying in a wok is OK. I grew up in a family that rarely fries foods, even here in Texas. I couldn't make edible fried chicken or chicken-fried-steak if I tried. (I did try once, for both things. Scary, messy and badly done.)
Oh yes! About the fake ingredients. I have horrid memories of going to church potlucks in the 60's & early 70's. Guaranteed buffet dishes would be the "salad" of cool-whip, a box of *dry* jello, mini-marshmallows & canned fruit cocktail. Yuck! And instant mashed potatoes made with lots of "spread" (fake margarine), overprocessed Velveeta cheese, and garlic powder. It doesn't make instant mash taste any better, believe me.
In the past, I never was intimidated by lengthy processes or ingredient lists (except homemade ravioli). Not intimidated now, but I've reached a point of valuing simplicity with regard to both, without everything being totally plain and/or bland. Occasionally, I'll do something more complex but save those recipes for special occasions. But if a recipe is "over-done" (bad pun) so it's posh to the point of ridiculousness, that's a deal breaker to be sure. There are too many things I'd rather do than spend most of the day in the kitchen on a regular basis.

I completely agree with you about spending lengthy periods of time in the kitchen, brighidsdaughter ( lovely to 'see' you here again!). Although there are some times when I really enjoy cooking without having to think too much about it - it becomes almost meditative.
I do tend to turn the page if I find a recipe that has more than around 8 or 10 ingredients, and I'm with you on the packaged food bit, Georgia. I give those recipes a miss too.

A couple I forgot to mention in my first post:
Homemade pasta - but I hope this won't be a deal-breaker forever. Up to now, it's been one only because I lack both the equipment and the workspace necessary for making it. I'm hoping that in the not-too-distant future I won't have to pass regretfully over all my recipes for ravioli and the like.
Bananas - one of the few foods I actively dislike. (Apparently I couldn't get enough of them as a baby and very small child - perhaps I overdid it then?) And yet... I'll happily eat (and make) banana bread and banana cake. I think it's the texture, rather than the taste, of the raw fruit that I find so off-putting, so I guess disguising it beyond recognition is key.
Georgia, I'm with you on the snails and the fake ingredients (and especially recipes that combine snails and fake ingredients

I have three main put-offs, two practical and one health-ish.
First, anything involving candy thermometers - I don't own one, and these things come out terribly if you guess.
Second, most recipes involving food processing - I don't own a full-size blender or food processor either, and I've been (metaphorically) burned a few times by trying to puree or otherwise process stuff using inadequate equipment. My little immersion blender is great, but I wanted to scream after trying to blend a few pounds of cranberries and oranges in it last Thanksgiving. It took about ten tries.
Finally, those luscious and decadent recipes with six egg yolks, a pound of butter, and 8 oz of heavy cream. I KNOW they're delicious. They make me drool. But they also make me cringe. I'd rather order chocolate mousse with whipped cream in a restaurant and pretend I don't know what went into it!

I agree with those who've commented about separate X number of eggs and reserve whites/yolks for another purpose. I think once in the last ten years I've actually ever found a use for the reserved bits.
Deal breakers for me: I do, or have done rather, some chocolate work...the note in the formula that the ideal room temperature is 63-65 degrees Farenheit. I laugh, loudly, at such a thing. I couldn't afford the chocolate with an electric bill of those proportions. I've also seen some that specify what the humidity should be...I live in the Southeastern US...our humidity isn't that low on the coldest day in January.
I've also recently walked away from a few that began "Begin with a whole, dressed pig..."
Otherwise I'll try any ingredient or technique...once. If for no other reason to bring comedic value to the evening as my wife listens to me rant about the directions or uncooperative foodstuffs.

|When we see the bridge, all the Jem'Hadar are hanging dead from their chairs. Yet in "A Time To Stand", this exact same ship is used by Sisko and his officers on a raid, and they all complain that there are no chairs aboard because the Jem'Hadar never need to sit down.
Worf's description of keeping vigil over the body of a dead man to keep predators away is at odds with TNG's "Heart of Glory", in which it was said that the Klingons regard a corpse as "a worthless shell" to be disposed of. Still, we have seen before that different Klingon houses have different customs, and perhaps this particular one is only practiced by some. Consider it in comparison to the tradition of a wake, or sitting shiva, for instance. Some people practice it, but many don't.
We see that the Dominion have transporters that can beam people onto the ship. So... why don't they just scan it for lifeforms and beam all the Starfleet officers out into space? Then they can walk in and rescue the Changeling.
|Great Moment :
|The scene where Sisko laments the loss of five people on the mission, and discusses with Dax whether the loss was worth the ship they recovered. It's a clear victory for 'our' people, and Dax is absolutely right when she says that those five deaths were worth it because they might wind up saving millions of lives - which they almost certainly did, because it was almost certainly studying this ship that allowed the Federation to improve their shield technology to resist Dominion weaponry. Yet at the same time, for once we see just how heavily the loss weighs on Sisko, and the fact that he takes time to talk to Dax about the people he lost and how he related to them in life really sells this point. It's a great scene.
|Body Count :
|Five Starfleet officers - three on the Runabout plus Muniz and T'Lor. Plus all of the Jem'Hadar and one Founder.
|Factoid :
|Whilst it's a fan favourite, some of the producers were not that happy with how the episode turned out. It was felt that the level of tension was never quite high enough - Hans Beimler blamed the fact that they kept cutting away from the ship to have Sisko go outside and talk to the Vorta.
The exterior scenes were filmed at Soledad Canyon in North Los Angeles, the same location used for Cardassia IV in "The Homecoming". As on that occasion, the heat on the day of filming was extreme, reaching 51 C (124 F).
Ensign Hoya is a Benzite, the first female of the species seen and the first one who does not wear the usual breathing apparatus. Mike Okuda blames this on advances in Benzite technology. Though perhaps it's that the females don't require the apparatus?
The scene where Muñiz teases O'Brien about Ireland having no mountains is probably a reference to the movie "The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain", which starred Colm Meaney. In the movie, Ireland's only official mountain is reclassified as a hill when a survey discovers that it it slightly less than 1,000 feet tall. The locals respond by taking dirt up to the top of the mountain by hand and building a mound on the summit that allowed it to just top the required height.

PORTLAND, Maine — Maine health officials are investigating an unusual case of swine influenza in a young child, the fifth reported case of a child infected in recent weeks. All have recovered.
Maine's state epidemiologist Stephen Sears says the H3N2 swine-origin strain of influenza was confirmed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control as being genetically similar to a strain identified earlier in three cases in Pennsylvania and one case in Indiana.
Maine health authorities say the 7- or 8-year-old boy from Cumberland County came down with flu-like symptoms in early October, not long after being exposed to pigs at an agricultural fair.
Sears said the boy was treated by his family doctor and is back up and playing. He said health experts don't expect the new strain to pose a widespread threat.

LED Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor LED lights are by far the most reliable and energy efficient form of lighting for your garden (or house exterior). Few light sources are forging ahead like LED is. Its uses are already numerous, whether we're talking security or working lights, garden patio lights, lighting spikes, wall washers, porch lights, pond lights, feature lights or solar-powered lights.
Use of LED is particularly prevalent in the latter, solar lights, because it requires so little power. A day's worth of everyday lighting will be absorbed by the solar panel, which then charges the light's battery, which in turn keeps your outdoor space illuminated all night.
Stay secure
Security lighting, previously the domain of powerful halogen lamps, is increasingly the resting place of more energy-efficient lighting solutions. You can buy energy-saving CFL versions for relatively little money, or you can go the whole hog and invest in LED security lights and in doing so save a further 50% even over fluorescent! With LED using no toxic mercury, producing less in the way of CO² emissions, and lasting longer than any other technology, it's an all-round superior choice that'll keep you safe and save money on running and maintenance costs.
Feature lighting
The garden is a popular place for LED lighting, and browsing through Lyco's stock you'll encounter a variety of feature-lighting products. These might be anything from LED wall-washers - often coloured for mood - to LED rope lights for incredible creative potential. The flexibility of LED is one of its most exciting aspects, and the idea of a garden that might actually be welcoming is a relatively new idea. For our recent ancestors the night-time garden was a foreboding place full of amphibians and arachnids! Actually for some that still may be the case, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Plug and play
LED lighting often features in low voltage garden lighting sets, which have the distinct advantage of posing no threat to life, which in turn means you don't have to dig deep holes in your garden to bury the cable. These low voltage LED plug & play sets, which would often include the necessary LED driver, allow plenty of flexibility with regard to positioning of the lights. As well, you can often add lights to the base kit with plug and play ease.
Walkover lights
As we've alluded to already, gardens have increasingly become a nocturnal resting place for us, when UK weather permits, so any lights that make the garden safe to navigate are a bonus. Walkover lights are ideal for patios, duckboards and decking, and here again LED is a great choice because it is a technology that can squeeze into small spaces, that's super-cheap to run, and which is robust because of its solid-state construction. Never was a technology more fit for purpose!
IP ratings
As with all outdoor lighting, particular attention should be paid to the IP ratings. Of course all of our outdoor lights offer weather-proofing, but some can also be jet-cleaned, and others can even be submerged to provide attractive accent lighting for your water features. An IP rating is a two figure number, and the second figure refers to its imperviousness to liquid. For a definitive guide to this subject take a look at our IP Ratings Guide.
