Rhonda Richardson works the crowd during a dessert auction at Murrah's Chapel Baptist Church to raise donations for the congregation's Relay for Life team. Angie Basson, left, serves as bid spotter. Photo by: Courtesy Photo
April 8, 2009
It''s an unlikely place for a bidding war, but the action in the church fellowship hall has everyone riveted. Back and forth the spotter''s attention flies, following competition spurred on by a shrewd auctioneer. The dollar amount increases; delighted gasps rise from the crowd.
"$40, I got $40! Who''ll give me $45?" calls Choir Director Rhonda Richardson to the 50 or so people in the room. It may seem pricey for a lemon bundt cake, but the cause is charitable and the generosity of the Murrah''s Chapel membership is infectious.
Next on the block is a chocolate almond silk pie. "Come on, ya''ll scared of the preacher?" goads Richardson good-naturedly, urging contenders to up the bid of Interim Pastor Larry Turner, a self-professed "chocolate freak."
Before it''s over, about 16 sumptuous sweets including a coconut creme dessert, strawberry cheesecake, muscadine pie and red velvet cake, all donated by members, fall under the gavel to the tune of more than $400 and a surplus of laughter.
And the good times weren''t over. A hilarious woman-less beauty review followed, with five brave men parading through the throng with open purses to be filled with dollar bills for Relay for Life. In all, the church raised $819 on the fifth Sunday of March for the Murrah''s Chapel Baptist Church team taking part in the American Cancer Society fundraiser at Magnolia Bowl April 24.
"We seem to lean toward the fun side of worship," said church and team member Angie Basson, who served as spotter for the auction. "We always have a dinner and singing on the fifth Sunday of any month; they''re always laid back and fun. We just love to laugh and cut up, and we don''t have a problem with doing it at church."
One week later, Murrah''s Chapel -- the little white "lighthouse the hill" 11 miles out Highway 69 South -- held a second event, a barbecue plate dinner that added an additional $800 to the Relay team''s contribution. It all goes to show a small, devoted congregation can make a big difference.
The preacher bakes
Turner himself made two large desserts for the auction. For his strawberry scramble cake, he crumbles angel food cake ("... it doesn''t get as soggy as pound cake") in a pan, covering it with thawed or fresh strawberries followed by a layer of Cool Whip. "And then you do all three layers again," he instructs. He topped his auction dessert with thinly-sliced strawberries arranged as a cross.
The pastor''s coconut creme cake begins with yellow cake (box mix is fine for convenience).
"When you take it out of the oven, stick holes in it with a sharp-pointed knife while the cake''s still hot. It''s gotta be hot. Spread Eagle brand condensed milk on it, and wait ''til it cools to add Cool Whip and then coconut."
Giving spirit
Murrah''s Chapel is no stranger to fun fundraisers because the close-knit membership is "usually involved in something church or community related," explained Basson.
Debbie Hunt, who contributed the hotly-contested lemon bundt cake, is thrilled with the success of the benefit auction.
"We all are affected in one way or the other from cancer," she shared. "My family has lost a grandmother, uncle and a brother from cancer, and my father is still healing from having surgery on his leg for soft tissue sarcoma."
Hunt describes the Murrah''s Chapel faithful as a mix of "young" older adults, with energetic "betweens" and vivacious young adults, teens and children. "We are one big, happy family praying for a cure. I am so blessed to be part of this group."
An easy fellowship permeated the dessert auction, surfacing in the jovial ribbing of a friend to one of the bidders: "I''m behind you, buddy, don''t let ''er get it!" Or when 60-plus-year-member Linda Richardson won the banana pudding and promptly donated it back, to be auctioned off again. Or as all the lucky winners shared their desserts with everyone else when the bidding ended.
"We''re just a group of people that loves the Lord," offered Music Coordinator Lisa Wright. Her husband, Tracy, was a hit in the manly beauty review, and the couple sang during the "Fifth Sunday Singing" following the revelry.
Lisa, Tracy and a few others lingered in the small sanctuary at the end of the day. Brother Turner, seated on a pew, his hands resting atop a handsome walking cane, perhaps summed it up best with his personal benediction on the food and fellowship:
"Ya''ll just blessed my soul."

Abortion rules not a burden, court says
To no one's surprise, Texas' tough new restrictions on abortion clinics received a green light Thursday from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which found that neither of the two most controversial requirements imposes an undue hardship on women seeking abortions.
A three-judge panel unanimously ruled that there was no legal reason to keep the law known as House Bill 2 from being enforced. The decision reversed a lower-court ruling that found portions of the new law unconstitutional.
Two provisions of the law were challenged by a group of abortion providers - the requirement that abortion doctors have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital and stricter limits on the use of drugs designed to induce abortions. Circuit Judges Edith Jones, Jennifer Elrod and Catharina Haynes found that neither provision is so burdensome as to be unreasonable.
"All of the major Texas cities continue to have multiple clinics where many physicians will have or obtain hospital admitting privileges," the court's opinion stated. "Evidence offered by Planned Parenthood showed that more than 90 percent of the women seeking an abortion in Texas would be able to obtain the procedure within 100 miles of their respective residences even if H.B. 2 went into effect. If the admitting-privileges regulation burdens abortion access ... the burden does not fall on the vast majority of Texas women seeking abortions."
Individual challenges
As for the rules on abortion pills, which require clinics to follow FDA protocols, the appeals court said women who might need to receive them past the "window" called for by the protocols should challenge the law using their individual medical circumstances. The court decision said general statements about current medical practices, which often go beyond the FDA protocols, are not substantive enough to prove the law was defective in not providing some sort of exception.
The district court did not overturn the provision in H.B. 2 calling for strict adherence to FDA protocols, even though the judge acknowledged it as burdensome.
Thursday's decision provided only the tiniest of relief for opponents of the law.
The court said if a doctor who performs abortions had applied for admitting privileges in a timely manner but was still waiting to hear back from the hospital, the law could not be enforced in the interim.
'Turned a blind eye'
Reaction to the ruling was quick and predictable. The Center for Reproductive Rights, which is representing the Texas clinics, accused the 5th Circuit of failing to "protect the lives and health of thousands of Texas women" by not overturning the law.
"The Fifth Circuit has turned a blind eye to the very real and devastating consequences that this law has had on thousands of Texas women, erecting barriers to abortion so high that women are simply left with no legal or safe options," said Nancy Northup, the organization's president, in a prepared statement. "Right now, the state of Texas is gutting the constitutional protections afforded by Roe v. Wade more than 40 years ago, leaving large swaths of Texas left without a provider."
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is running for governor, praised the ruling. "This unanimous decision is a vindication of the careful deliberation by the Texas Legislature to craft a law to protect the health and safety of Texas women."
Abbott's Democratic opponent in the governor's race, Sen. Wendy Davis, had killed the first version of the Texas abortion law with an 11th-hour filibuster that gave her a national profile. The Legislature passed it again in a special session. Davis used the 5th Circuit's decision to take a jab at Abbott and other supporters of the law.
"Greg Abbott wants to force his personal political agenda on Texas women," Davis said. "Insider politicians like Abbott are endangering Texas women's health by shutting down access to cancer screenings, pre-natal care, preventative care and birth control across the state."
Thursday's decision reversed the October ruling of U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel of Austin. Yeakel found that the regulations violated the rights of abortion doctors to do what they think is best for their patients and would unreasonably restrict a woman's access to abortion clinics. His decision was stayed pending appeals by the 5th Circuit, a conservative circuit where opponents had little reason to hope for success. The decision is expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to remove the appeals court's stay.
A matter of numbers
In H.B. 2, Texas lawmakers imposed some of the nation's toughest restrictions on when, where and how women may obtain an abortion. Clinic operators and abortion-rights advocates say the rules have closed a number of clinics, especially in smaller cities, and could impair access for millions of Texas women. Proponents said the measures were needed to protect the fetus and the health of women seeking abortions.
The 5th Circuit said, in effect, the impact of clinics potentially closing because a doctor might not be granted admitting privileges had to be measured on the number of women affected, not how greatly a relative few might be.
"The regulation will not affect a significant (much less 'large') fraction of such women," the court's ruling said. "The record does not show that abortion practitioners will likely be unable to comply with the privileges requirement."

Weight gain in pregnancy varies greatly. Most pregnant women gain between 10kg and 12.5kg (22lb to 26lb), putting on most of the weight after week 20.
It depends on your weight before you become pregnant.
Weight gain in pregnancy varies greatly. Most pregnant women gain between 10kg and 12.5kg (22lb to 26lb), putting on most of the weight after week 20.
Much of the extra weight is due to your baby growing, but your body will also be storing fat, ready to make breast milk after your baby is born.
Putting on too much or too little weight can lead to health problems for you or your unborn baby.
Putting on too much weight can affect your health and increase your blood pressure. However, pregnancy is not the time to go on a diet, as it may harm the health of the unborn child.
It's important that you eat healthily.
Gaining too much weight can increase your risk of complications. These include:
Gaining too little weight can cause problems such as premature birth and a baby with a low birth weight (less than 2.5kg or 5.5lb at birth). It can also mean your body is not storing enough fat.
Lack of weight gain can be related to your diet and weight before you become pregnant.
However, some naturally slim women stay slim while they're pregnant and have healthy babies.
Staying active is important while you're pregnant, as it will prepare your body for labour and birth.
Keep up your normal daily activity or exercise (unless you've been advised by your midwife or GP not to exercise).
Your midwife or GP may have special advice for you if you weigh:
If you're concerned about your weight or any other aspect of your health while pregnant, ask your midwife or GP for advice.

-Wednesday -April 4th -7pm -at the CCC (732 E Clarke St.)
An evening with MEETING / Sic an journal of the communising current
Featuring Léon de Mattis & Julie Maitrejean
In October 2008, the global financial system almost collapsed, putting the word "crisis" on the front page of every newspaper. In 2010 and 2011, the sovereign debt crisis and an atmosphere of unrest all over the world revealed an even more severe economic and social situation.
Commentators everywhere put the blame on the finance sector alone, implying that there is a "real economy" that, if better managed, would be the soil for a sustainable and fair system. But to us, crises are on the contrary indicators and reveal what usually goes undernoticed. The capitalist system constantly undergoes contradictions, and cannot but reinforce, on an ever increasing scale, what it is inherently : a relation of domination and exploitation.
How could revolts against this oppression ultimately give birth to a new world? This question has had many various answers in the past. The communisation current tries to provide an appropriate response to the present moment.
"In the course of the revolutionary struggle, the abolition of the division of labour, of the State, of exchange, of any kind of property; the extension of a situation in which everything is freely available as the unification of human activity, that is to say the abolition of classes, of both public and private spheres – these are all 'measures' for the abolition of capital, imposed by the very needs of the struggle against the capitalist class." -'Extrait de l'éditorial de Sic 1'
Léon de Mattis and Julie Maitrejean are French activists involved in the writting of Meeting/Sic, "International Journal for Communisation". Léon de Mattis has been involved in the communisation project since the 2000s. He is the author of 'Reflections on the Call' and 'What is communisation?'. He has also published two untranslated books : 'Mort à la démocratie' (2007) and 'Crises' (2012).
It is greatly encouraged by certainly not required that those attending familiarize themselves with a few texts prior to the event in order to facilitate more in depth discussions and understanding of the material being presented. They are: http://riff-raff.se/texts/en/sic1-what-is-communisation and http://libcom.org/library/reflections-call-lé-de-mattis
This event is free, but donations would be greatly appreciated to help pay for the lecturers travel expenses.

I am a sucker for a fun cake pan, and this Great Cupcake Pan has been calling my name for quite some time. In spite of my efforts to be selective, somehow my collection of specialty shaped cake pans keeps growing, but who can resist a giant cupcake? I think I can squeeze one more pan into the attic!
I love the scalloped detail that makes up the "cupcake liner." I wanted to preserve this detail but I was afraid that it would get lost if I covered it in frosting, so I went a completely different direction, chocolate! I melted some white candy melts and threw in a few pink candy melts to get a light pink color. I sprayed the bottom part of the cupcake pan with non-stick spray and then wiped out the excess. Then I brushed the melted candy coating up the sides of the pan.
To make sure the candy shell was nice and sturdy, I painted two coats of chocolate. I waited for the first coat to dry before applying the second. I left the candy shell to set overnight and then unmolded it in the morning. I wasn't sure if the chocolate would stick, so this was experimental, but to my surprise and delight, the shell released from the pan beautifully!
You may recognize the cake here; it's Funfetti! This cake was for my goddaughter's birthday and she always makes a special request for Funfetti. The bright colorful spots always liven up a party, and kids especially love it. The cake fit perfectly in the shell; I just leveled it a bit to make it slightly shorter than the top of the chocolate shell.
I added some light pink frosting to seal in the cake and make sure no cake would peek through.
So this is the top that I originally made. I covered the cake in poured icing and added some confetti sprinkles. I was happy with the color and sprinkles, but the icing started to crack, and that wasn't the look I was going for. Also it looked more like an ice cream than a cupcake. Hmmm… Scratch that one!
I went ahead and put the top on just to see the overall look. As you can see, the top of the cupcake is a little too small for the cupcake base; it doesn't go all the way out to the edge of the chocolate shell. Details, details! These are the kinds of issues that you just can't think of! The top portion of this cake would make a really cute shell for a snail cake. I'm putting that one on my list!
So here is the revised version frosted with Ateco tip 825 in pink buttercream. It takes a lot of frosting to cover this cupcake! Hint – Use a large pastry bag to get one continuous swirl of icing.
A few confetti sprinkles and voila! Time to dig in! This giant cupcake is sure to be the center of attention at any party!

The beautiful and simple lines of this monochrome timepiece are juxtaposed with 23 hand-carved wooden birds, which are delicately perched on the step of the wooden cuckoo clock. The clock takes inspiration from a common scene in the plazas of Italy, where pigeons sit upon the ledge of a period building. The dial is located in the lower corner and uses battery quartz movement. The cuckoo strike is switched off automatically during the night controlled by a light sensor so you will never be disturbed. This modern take on the traditional cuckoo clock will look stunning in any room with black & white décor.
Available in Black or White.

No matter which lenders schools recommend, the best loan program for one studentmay not be the right one for another family. As complex as the process is, a little homework can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.
There are three basic loan types: direct loans, subsidized private loans (known as Federal Family Education Loan Program) and unsubsidized private loans. In addition, the basic Stafford loan (available both directly and through FFELP private lenders) carries a maximum interest rate of 6.8 percent — though many lenders discount this. PLUS loans (also available through direct or private lenders) carry an 8.5 percent rate cap, but some lenders offer lower rates. Unsubsidized private loans carry no rate caps.
Schools have negotiated a variety of other breaks for student borrowers from lenders they put on their preferred lists. Here are some things to look for:
- Discounted interest rates
Though Stafford loans carry a maximum of 6.8 percent, some lenders will cut that to as low as 5.5 percent, according to Kantrowitz. On PLUS loans, the maximum rate is 8.5; some lenders will go as low as 6.5 percent. The lowest rate Kantrowitz has seen on private student loans is 6.35 percent.
- On-time payment discounts
If you're a good bill-payer, this can save you money. Unfortunately, this discount usually goes by the wayside: Kantrowitz says that only about 20 percent of borrowers make their first 36 payments on time. If you're a late bill payer, this discount won't help.
- Waiver of origination, default fees
Stafford loans carry a 2.5 percent fee that's deducted from the loan balance up front. Some lenders will waive the fee. One caution: If you later consolidate your loans with another lender, you may have to repay the fee.
- Discounts for automatic debit
If you don't mind having your student loan payments debited directly from your checking account, you can save another quarter or half a percentage point from some lenders. Unfortunately, fewer than one in six borrowers sign up for it.
- Payment forgiveness
If you have a good payment history, some lenders will let you skip the last few payments.
- Late payment
Some lenders will consider your payment late if it's not in their hands by the due date every month. Many will give you a grace period of 15 or 30 days.
- Customer service
The level of service you can expect varies widely. Look for a lender that offers phone advice or answers to billing questions 24 hours a day and has a Web site you can go to for additional help or information.
- Problem solving
If you have a billing dispute or need help, some lenders are much better than others at resolving the problem. Schools are often a good source of information; with a bad lender, they have to wait on hold forever, too.

West Yorkshire Police has made more than £1.8m by selling vehicles seized from uninsured drivers in the last three years, new figures show.
The force confiscated more than 13,500 cars, motorcycles and trucks from motorists without the necessary cover from 2012-2015. They included five Porsches, two Bentleys and more than 360 BMWs.
More than 2,600 vehicles were sold at auction during the three years, generating £1.07m. Another 4,743 were crushed and sold as scrap for a total of £743,000.
In the last year West Yorkshire Police took 4,125 vehicles off the road – the highest figure for any force outside the Metropolitan Police.
The highest total gained from a sale of a single car was £11,420.
Those who are caught driving uninsured face a fixed penalty of £300 and six points on their licence.
However, the number of people stopped by West Yorkshire Police for having no insurance has shown little sign of decline and motoring organisation the AA said the punishments are not severe enough to act as a deterrent.
Spokesman Ian Crowder said: "Uninsured drivers are typically young men, often unemployed, often with a string of motoring convictions and driving bans and so are uninsurable anyway.
"They are then stopped and the car confiscated. They then opt to go to court rather than pay a fixed penalty and the average fine meted out is less than £300, which is a scandal when the maximum available is £5,000.
"The fines are means tested, unlike a fixed penalty, and often the offender is permitted to pay by instalments. So they pay one instalment and then disappear and don't pay the rest.
"It's difficult to know what to do. Putting them in prisons isn't necessarily going to help, but the sentencing often doesn't reflect the seriousness of the crime and the AA thinks the penalties are insufficient."
The AA said uninsured driving adds around £33 to every policy bought by insured drivers. Londoners are the worst affected, with annual premiums averaging £936 in some parts of the capital.
Bradford is the eighth most expensive place in the country to insure a car, with average premiums of £661.
Drivers who have their cars seized by police can get them back if they can prove that they have the necessary documents and pay the police costs of removing and impounding them.
Temporary Chief Superintendent Pat Casserly, of West Yorkshire Police's protective services, said: "Uninsured drivers are a major concern for law-abiding motorists in West Yorkshire and anyone caught using an uninsured vehicle can expect to have it seized and a large fine, with the added possibility of a court appearance. Everyone thinks they have the freedom of the road, but the reality is that all motorists have a legal, as well as a moral responsibility to make sure they are insured."
According to figures obtained by Churchill Insurance, police seized nearly 28,000 uninsured cars last year.
They included one which was later sold for £217,933 at auction.
Steve Barrett, head of car insurance at Churchill, said: "We need an urgent examination of the penalties for uninsured motoring, introducing sentences that are a real deterrent and that will keep these irresponsible motorists off the road."

Carbon fiber MacBooks to appear soon?
Long-running rumor gets biennial booster shot
Those long-rumored carbon fiber MacBooks may be inching closer towards reality, if anonymous Asian sources can be trusted.
According to a post on the Japanese website Macotakara (Mac お宝, or Mac Treasure), "some engineer of Apple and Foxconn Technology" has requested carbon fiber parts from an unnamed Japanese company, and "the number of parts is too large to be called 'sample'."
It should be noted that Macotakara did not identify its tattling source, and that the blog posting is clearly labled "Rumor".
Still, this is not the first time that carbon fiber has popped up as a possible replacement for aluminum in Apple's laptop line. The rumor first surfaced in November 2008, and was given new life by an Apple patent application published in November 2010 entitled "Reinforced Device Housing", which described a "housing for an electronic device or other object" made from a "layered fiber-in-matrix type material, such as CFRP."
CFRP, as you materials-scientist types know, stands for either carbon fiber reinforced polymer or carbon fiber reinforced plastic, depending upon whom you ask.
From Apple's carbon fiber case patent: lighter, stronger, sexier, and ... well ... more carbony
Macotakara also reminds us that since March 2011 Apple has employed Kevin Kenney as a Senior Composites Engineer. Kenny was previously President and CEO of Kestrel Bicycles, a company known for its work since 1987 on high-end, custom-designed carbon fiber frames.
The website also notes that Apple Japan has posted a job opening for "engineers to develop products using carbon material" in its Tokyo office in skyscraper-rich Shinjuku-ku.
If these latest addenda to the carbon fiber–MacBook rumor collection are correct, we may see lighter, slimmer Apple laptops – or, for that matter, carbon fiber iPads or iPhones – in the not-so-distant future. The thinner-laptop possibility, by the way, is supported by another Asian rumor that surfaced on Wednesday: a DigiTimes report that Apple is slimming the light guides for its backlit keyboards from 0.4mm to 0.25mm.
As anyone who remembers those Chesterfield 101 ads from the 1960s will tell you, every silly millimeter counts. ®

New date awaited for
SMART-1 launch
Arianespace has announced that the Ariane-5 launch, with SMART-1 and two commercial satellites on board, is postponed. A new launch date is expected to be announced soon.
ESA officials stated that the Ariane-5 launcher and the SMART-1 spacecraft are in perfect shape, ready for the new launch date.
ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft, Europe's first probe to the Moon, will take around 16 months to reach its destination where it is expected to carry out a number of unprecedented studies of the Moon, and demonstrate innovate and key technologies for future deep space science missions.

King rules out Iowa Senate run
Iowa Rep. Steve King said Friday night that he will not seek Tom Harkin's Senate seat in 2014.
He tweeted:
I will not run for Senate in 2014. A Senate race takes me out of urgent battles in Congress that can't wait until 2015. Many thanks to all.
— Steve King (@SteveKingIA) May 4, 2013
"This week, I made a simple device to put toothpaste back in the tube But a device to put the Leftist genie back in the bottle is not so simple," he said in a statement.
(PHOTOS: Senators facing reelection next year)
King is the second GOP senate prospect in as many days to announce his decision to stay out of the race: state Agriculture Commissioner Bill Northey announced Thursday that he wouldn't run, and said he hoped King would decide to enter the race.
King's name was one of the first that came up when Democratic Sen. Harkin announced his retirement earlier this year, but his ongoing indecision about the race prompted most Republicans in the state to think he was ultimately unlikely to run.
He joins a list of prominent Iowa Republican contenders who have chosen to sit out the race, including Northey, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds and Rep. Tom Latham.
Some Republicans in the state also believe Latham might reconsider his decision to stay out of the race.
"If you reread his note to his supporters of why he wasn't going to run for Senate, he definitely gives himself an opening to get back in if that's what he chose to do," social conservative activist Bob Vander Plaats told POLITICO earlier this week.
"Now, if King determines he's not going to run, I think the landscape has shifted … and Tom Latham needs to reassess his interest in the race."
As previously reported by POLITICO, other Republicans who have expressed interest include Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz, former U.S. Attorney Matt Whitaker, state Sen. Joni Ernst and David Young, an aide to Sen. Chuck Grassley.
As Republicans work to recruit a candidate, Democrats seem to be rallying around Rep. Bruce Braley. Braley announced his campaign earlier this year and raised $1 million toward the effort in the first quarter.
Maggie Haberman and Alexander Burns contributed to this report.

They knocked on doors for him and helped him win re-election, but when Obama supporters put on their tuxedos and ball gowns to celebrate the start of his second term in office, they feasted on pretzels, peanuts and Cheez-its.
"This is the food? I'm not too thrilled about it. It's for the birds," said Ben Shelly, who helped mobilise support for Obama on the Navajo reservation in Arizona.
Dancing was also difficult: it was much too crowded in front of the stage to manage more than an easy shoulder roll when pop stars like Alicia Keys and Brad Paisley played their hits.
But that did not stop Obama-backers from partying with their president, and celebrating the brief moment when the rancor of the campaign has faded and the tough work of his second term has yet to begin.
"I love the fact that we re-elected the first African-American president against all of the odds of the economy," said Vega Subramanian, an Indian immigrant who attended with her wife. "I want to do everything I can to support his views in favour of immigrant rights, in favor of gay rights, in favour of all of us."
Inaugural balls have been a Washington fixture since the city's earliest days, when James Madison celebrated with a dance at a downtown hotel in 1809.
Ending the party
Things got somewhat out of hand at Andrew Jackson's inaugural party in 1829, when thousands of revelers crowded into the White House, breaking thousands of dollars worth of china and forcing the new president to flee to Virginia for the night. Staffers managed to bring the party to a close by dragging the vats of punch out on the lawn.
James Buchanan's 1857 party featured 400 gallons of oysters, 75 hams and 125 tongues.
Bill Clinton set a record in 1997 with 14 official balls, and Obama himself celebrated with 10 official events in 2009.
This year, organisers scaled back to two events to try to strike a respectfully austere note at a time when the economy is still struggling.
That obscures the fact that the scale – and the budget – are essentially the same as four years ago, with 35 000 people spread out over the six-square-block expanse of the Walter E Washington Convention Center on the edge of downtown.
Upstairs, about 4 500 wounded veterans and other military service members enjoyed a party of their own – a tradition started by former president George W Bush in 2005 as the country asked its volunteer military to shoulder the burden of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
One of those wars is now over and the other is winding down, but military leaders are struggling to contain rising rates of suicide and sexual assault among the troops, said Chief Master Sergeant James Roy, the most senior enlisted man in the Air Force.
"War is the only thing they've ever known," Roy said.
'Michelle looked amazing'
One floor down in a concrete basement nearly a third of a mile long, horn-rimmed hipsters, thirty-something Latino couples and middle-aged African-Americans lined up for $10 cocktails and $3 bottles of water.
While some got tickets for as little as $60 each, organisers asked wealthy donors to kick in as much as $1-million to cover the costs.
Some of the highest rollers opted to skip the event.
Marsha Laufer, a Florida retiree who has donated nearly $200 000 to Democratic candidates and causes over the past two years, spent the days leading up to the inauguration at the type of intimate events available to those who give at least $250 000 to the inauguration committee.
She met Obama at a White House reception on Friday and heard him speak at a candlelight dinner for top donors on Sunday. The inaugural ball was not on the agenda.
"It's been a very exciting day," Laufer said by phone.
Here is what she missed: At 9.22pm, the crowd erupted in a roar. A sea of camera phones greeted the first couple as they walked on to the stage. He wore a black suit and a white tie. According to the White House, she wore "a custom Jason Wu ruby colored chiffon and velvet gown with a handmade diamond embellished ring by jewelry designer Kimberly McDonald."
They danced in a graceful circle as Jennifer Hudson serenaded them with Al Green's Let's Stay Together. At 9.27pm, they waved to the crowd and strode off.
"Michelle looked amazing. I loved her red dress," said Pamela Simpson, a retired model from Potomac, Maryland.
What about Obama? "Oh, he's just the president," she said.

The latest Dreamliner glitch, the emergency landing of an All Nippon Airways' 787, has received varied reactions from airlines, analysts and observers.
Boeing's shares are down roughly 3.3 percent in early trading Wednesday.
ANA has determined the main battery in the 787's forward electronics section "was discolored and the electrolysis solution had leaked." Previous problems on 787s involved the electronics bay in the back, not front, of airplane. ANA said the same 787 had experienced battery problems before, according to this Wall Street Journal report.
Both ANA and Japan Airlines have grounded their 787s for inspections. ANA canceled 35 flights and swapped 787s out for other aircraft on 31 other flights. The carrier also issued this apology to customers.
Air India said it's waiting for instruction from Boeing or aviation authorities on what to do with its 787s.
LOT Polish Airlines is going ahead with its first trans-Atlantic flight using a 787 today.
United Airlines, Qatar Airways and Ethiopian Airlines all have 787s in the air this morning, according to FlightAware.
Analyst Scott Hamilton, with Leeham Co., urged caution in drawing conclusions before ANA and Boeing can look into the latest incident.
Jefferies International analyst Sandy Morris wrote this in a note published by Bloomberg: "After thousands of hours of testing, the ANA and JAL incidents are perplexing."
Finally, this Wall Street Journal report out of Japan has passengers, pilots and ANA spokespeople giving varying accounts about the presence of smoke on the aircraft.

So I give tabs of brewers yeast to my crew but one of my kitties Puma never really liked them and since I free feed my 18 year old Persian I cant supp in their food with out knowing who is eating how much. (he is very ill). Any way Puma never eats cat treats or people food. The Persian will try eat anything he can get his smushy little face on. It was a new bottle. So I gave Eduardo one (the old guy) and have Judo his 6 and she tried taking them out of Judos mouth (my pit). I gave her one of her own and she goes nuts and swallows it whole. So I put in my purse so I can split it all up later in those pill holders so I dont forget when I give them. This freakin nut breaks into my purse, takes the bottle out and rips the cap off with her teeth and swallows a punch of tabs whole!! Like a ninja....it happened so fast! Then she almost pretty much attacks me for taking away her kitty crack. So I wrapped her and got her to puke a couple up just to be safe.
hahaha This was a couple hours ago and she has been fine. But I have never seen her get nuts like that in the 3 years she has been with me. I think I prolly should hide all my meds better now seeing that I have a pill popper LOL!! This was a little random and maybe a "ya should have been there" sort of thing but it was weird!!

I didn't find much of textile interest while on holiday (except in terms of inspiration like the manhole covers). There was a silk factory which had a museum attached but I was told by the tourist office in Tours that it was closed all July and August. 🙁
However, I did find a few things, unexpectedly. We went to see a strange motley collection of … basically anything with moving parts, the Musee Maurice Dufresne. I think that M Dufresne couldn't bear to leave any machines he found rusting in fields or anywhere; he had to rescue them and add them to his collection. Something had been found at the bottom of a lake. It was a huge combine harvester or something like that. Goodness knows how it got to the bottom of the lake or how he knew it was there and managed to get it out again. It was that sort of a collection.
Anyway, in amongst all this stuff were a few looms.
I don't know much about looms or what type they are but it was lovely to see all that pile of yarn in the midst of machinery! If anyone can enlighten me, I will add the information.
I think this one made braid, or ribbon.
Is this a machine for winding shuttles? or warping or something? (can't you tell I don't know ANYTHING about weaving?! Still, I do find these kinds of things interesting and I would love to learn, so please enlighten me!)
All these looms were a drop in the ocean in the huge barn-like buildings in which they were stored. I found some sewing machines high up on a shelf later on and I felt so sorry that they were stuck up there so unappreciated. I wanted to take them all home with me!
In amongst all these were cars, farm machinery, a London bus(!) and even a guillotine which had travelled around during the French Revolution – it was mounted on a cart. Bikes, printing machines, you name it, it was there. Amazing.

With the arrival of fall comes the arrival of expensive shopping decisions. You can shell out for games, but what about game hardware? Do you need the Kinect? The Move? One of the new video game guitars? Or even a new console?
This companion to our Guide To Fall Video Games highlights the big hardware and controller options you have for the fall. We're focusing on new, significant purchases, but pardon us if we don't include every new third-party light gun, controller and so on.
Late September
PlayStation Move
What It Is: The motion-sensitive controller for Sony's video game console is essentially an advanced Wii Remote. It's shaped like a wand and precisely tracks all of your gestures just as well as — if not better than — a Wii Remote plugged into a MotionPlus peripheral. The Move requires a PlayStation Eye camera to be mounted near your TV and can be used with an optional Navigation Controller in your other hand if the game you're playing demands an analog stick.
Should You Get It: We've reviewed the Move launch games and provided numerous written and video impressions of the best and worst features of a controller that feels brimming with potential, though it lacks any must-own games.
Price: Move controllers start at $50, though there are many bundle options, including a $99 that includes the Eye camera and a game.
Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock Guitar (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)
What It Is: The newest Guitar Hero guitar doesn't deviate significantly from the functionality of previous music game guitars. There is no more slide pad, but there are now wings.
Should You Get It: The guitar is not so different from previous Guitar Hero guitars that it demands a purchase.
Price: The new Guitar Hero guitar is sold bundled with Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, which starts at $99.99
Power Gig: Rise of the Six String Guitar (PS3, Xbox 360)
What It Is: The Power Gig guitar is a real, working six-string electric guitar that can also be used to control Power Gig or most other music games. A user can treat the neck of the guitar as if it has the buttons of a Rock Band or Guitar Hero guitar, playing a music game in a traditional way. Or, in more advanced modes in Power Gig, can use the guitar more like the real thing and respond to prompts that require specific strings to be pressed with one hand and strummed with the other.
Should You Get It: The guitar alone is an interesting technological advance from the button-based controllers used for years with Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but competition from Rock Band 3's Pro Guitar controllers prevents this from being an automatic buy. It is compatible with most music games, according to Power Gig's website.
Price: The Power Gig guitar is sold standalone or bundled with the Power Gig game. (The bundle is $179.99)
Power Gig: Rise of the Six String Drums (PS3, Xbox 360)
What It Is: The four-pad drum-set supports a distinct air-drumming style, in which the gamer doesn't actually bang their drumsticks on the drum peripheral.
Should You Get It: Air-drumming is very different than what other music games offer. You'd want to try this first.
Price: The drums, when bundled with the Power Gig game, guitar and a mic run a total of $229.99
Rock Band 3 Wireless Keyboard Controller (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)
What It Is: This simplified two-octave keyboard is made to work with the series-first keyboard mode in Rock Band 3. (This is a video of how it works.)
Should You Get It: If you want to play keyboard in Rock Band 3, yes.
Price: $79.99
Kinect (Xbox 360)
What It Is: This no-touch control system for video games and TV is being marketed as the next big thing for home entertainment, though that's only marketing speak until it launches. The Kinect is a sensor array that can detect body movement and voice, swiftly identifying about 19 joints in a user's body and letting them using movements of their hands, arms, head, legs and feet — or their voice — to play games, watch movies and more.
Should You Get It: Kinect feels like magical technology, a system that can somehow detect you body movements and match them instantly to that of an avatar on your TV, even though you're just standing and gesturing in front of it. But only confirmation that it works in the average living room and is fun will make this a worthwhile investment.
Price: Kinect starts at $150 bundled with a game, though it will also be sold in specially-priced packages with versions of the Xbox 360 console.
New Xbox 360 Controller With Transforming D-Pad
What It Is: The new Xbox 360 controller comes in silver, bundled with a Play & Charge kit (meaning it is rechargeable), but, most importantly, features a D-pad that becomes raised and easier to use with a swivel. See it in action.
Should You Get It: The design of this specialty controller hasn't been confirmed as the new default model for 360 controllers, so those who want an improved d-pad for fighting games are encouraged to pick this up. Of course, you could wait and see if Microsoft does turn this design into the controller default. If they do, perhaps people won't have to pay a premium for a bundle.
Price: $64.99
Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang Pro Guitar (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)
What It Is: This guitar is a hybrid of real electric guitar and traditional Rock Band guitar. The neck is all buttons — more than a hundred of them, one for each section of "string" on each fret. Real strings are stretched over the body of the guitar, where the user will strum. This guitar is intended to be used with the Rock Band 3 Pro Guitar mode, which asks players to press and strum the proper buttons and strings for a more authentic guitar-playing experience. This one also functions as a MIDI guitar.
Should You Get It: Going for Fender here depends on whether you don't mind holding off for the undated Rock Band 3 Squier Stratocaster, which is a fully-stringed guitar compatible with the Pro Guitar mode of Rock Band 3. That guitar lacks a release date or price, making it less than a sure thing for the fall.
Price: $149.99
uDraw Game Tablet (Wii)
What It Is: Adding to the Wii Remote bowling ball, light gun and other wacky add-ons is the console's version of a Wacom drawing tablet. The tablet, which connects to the Wii Remote and is attached to a special stylus, comes packed with a painting program but also supports standalone games such as Pictionary.
Should You Get It: This is a sturdier and more useful Wii peripheral than most, which you can see from our preview coverage, but a consumer should check out the compatible games and be sure a real Wacom tablet wouldn't be the superior alternative.

Mojo sauce
Mojo is a sauce that accompanies a variety of Canary Island dishes and was probably introduced to the Islands by Portuguese travellers and immigrants.
There are basically two types of Mojo: 'Picón' and Green. Mojo Picón, also called Red Mojo or Mojo Bravo, is a sauce made basically of oil, vinegar and red or 'picona' peppers, which give it the characteristic red colour. Sometimes, bread crumbs, cumin, garlic, course salt and paprika are also added. Its consistency is medium, but liquid enough to impregnate the food that it accompanies. It is used to accompany potatoes, with roasted maize meal or with 'sancocho' (traditional Canary Island dish). Generally, it strengthens the flavour of blander dishes. Green Mojo is made with basically the same ingredients, without the 'picona' peppers, which are replaced by cilantro or parsley. Cumin seed, garlic and green pepper may also be added. It is green in colour and its consistency is less uniform than that of the mojo picón. It normally accompanies potatoes and fresh fish, either fried or boiled, although it also goes perfectly with roasted chicken.

WASHINGTON — The Senate's Republican leader has a simple postelection message for President Barack Obama: Move toward the GOP or get no help from its lawmakers.

Two days after Republicans scored big victories in congressional elections, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday offered an aggressive assessment of the results, calling for votes to erode the reach of the health care law that was a signature of the Obama administration.
"That means that we can — and should — propose and vote on straight repeal, repeatedly," McConnell said.First Thoughts: McConnell doubles down

More politics
McConnell's remarks, in a speech delivered to the conservative Heritage Foundation, acknowledged that Obama would veto such legislation, which probably would be blocked by the president's fellow Democrats in the Senate anyway.
He said the only way Republicans in Congress can achieve their goals is "to put someone in the White House who won't veto" a repeal of Obama's health care reform, spending cuts and shrinking the government.
More realistically, McConnell said Republicans, who will hold a majority in next year's House of Representatives, should aim to hobble the healthcare law by "denying funds for implementation" of the measure. Annual spending bills for agencies, including ones that implement the healthcare law, are normally written first in the House.
McConnell said the results of the midterms were not about Republicans but instead about Democrats, who he said got an "F." He said he expects Democrats will begin peeling off of their base to start supporting GOP initiatives.
"Every one of the 23 Democrats up [for re-election] in the next cycle have a clear understanding of what happened Tuesday," McConnell said. "I think we have major opportunities for bipartisan coalitions to support what we want to do."McConnell eyes Democrats up for re-election in 2012
McConnell's confrontational tone was in sharp contrast to the chastened posture Obama took Wednesday in the face of a new Republican controlled House and Republican gains in the Senate.
On Wednesday, likely incoming House Speaker John Boehner said the he promised to be honest with Obama and the two agreed to work together on cutting spending and creating jobs, even though Republicans campaigned on vows to turn back much of Obama's agenda.
Democrats accused Republicans of putting the interests of large corporations ahead of families.
"It speaks volumes that the first thing on Republicans' 'to do' list is to give power back to big health insurance companies," said Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.Story: Nixing — or 'fixing' — health law? Don't hold your breath
Kim Monk, a healthcare analyst for Capital Alpha Partners in Washington, suggested Republican efforts to repeal parts of the new law could run up against the harsh reality of huge U.S. budget deficits.
"Even tweaks are going to cost money and that's a problem because it's a deficit-cutting environment," she said in a telephone interview.
Instead, Republicans most likely would continue speaking out against the law "just to keep the message alive. This is all about 2012 (election) strategy," she said.
The healthcare law, passed this year over Republican objections, provided the most sweeping reforms of the U.S. healthcare industry in decades. It aims to provide coverage to millions of people who have been going without insurance.
Most popular
It imposes tough new standards on health insurers such as Aetna Inc and WellPoint Inc and requires all Americans to buy health insurance policies starting in 2014 or face fines, among other changes.
The Senate Republican leader said that he would attempt to stage votes in his chamber next year "against its most egregious provisions" of the law.
Those could include measures that penalize large employers if they do not offer health insurance to their workers and mandates on individuals to purchase health insurance.
McConnell's own approval rating, per a September NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, is 12 percent positive, 20 percent neutral and 18 percent negative, with another 50 percent responding that they did not have an opinion.

170th anniversary of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts
The Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts has marked the 170th anniversary of its foundation. During the introductory part of the ceremony, Serbian President Boris Tadic said that the Academy is expected to be an institution that will participate in the development, reformation and modernization of society and which will ensure independence of strategic assessment, measures and risks of primary, economic, technological and socio-economic development. Jelica Tapuskovic has more.
The first Serbian Academy was founded in 1841 as the Society of Serbian Letters with a task to create standard language, study vernacular language, history, customs, and remains of antiquity, and the country. Over 170 years of its existence, it turned into the Serbian Learned Society, became the Royal Serbian Academy, and in 1960, got its present name – Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Its mission has also changed over time and expanded onto the scientific and artistic fields. Speaking at the ceremony on the occasion of the Jubilee, President Boris Tadic said that the need to establish an academy stemmed from the liberating needs of the Serbian people and aspirations for the society to catch up with other developed countries. According to him, the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts is the holder of scientific and educational needs of the people.
"The role remains, as before, that it defines problems on scientific principles and create an atmosphere, to find long term solutions based on facts and scientific methods, contributing to the development of a richer and socially balanced society," the president said.
Tadic said he supports the Academy's openness to new scientific departments and all of its activities aimed at scientific development. As he pointed out, the mission of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts is not to serve the daily politics, or be an arbiter of a conflict of interests outside its scope, but to remain what it has been until now - a national scientific and cultural institution. He said that capacity building for Serbia's inclusion in international scientific projects and effort to stop the brain drain must be one of national priorities and objectives of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences, because the goal is to create work and living conditions in Serbia so future is created for the young and educated people in their country so they can achieve professional goals, develop and promote the economy, social and cultural life.
President of the Academy Nikola Hajdin singled out two tasks that characterize the current activities of the Academy. These are the analysis and study of educational problems on a scientific basis and understanding that every problem that preoccupies society and the people is the problem of the Academy as well.
Minister of Science and Education Zarko Obradovic said that with its tradition of education, Serbia has an important place in the world. In an effort to improve it, he said, one of the leading role belongs to the Academy. According to him, higher education must have a role of the prime mover of the overall economic and social changes and reforms in the process of creating a knowledge-based society.
"We have one of the most important resources – human resources. Competent scientists, researchers, experts, University professors have been achieving significant scientific and research results. For their work to be more successful, the state seeks to recognize the strategic role of knowledge through its policies, national projects and programs, and increased financial investments, "said Obradovic.
Minister of Culture, Media and Information Society, Predrag Markovic, congratulated the Academy's birthday and said that in future, the Academy will remain conservative as it should be, but that it will also find a way to connect young people and institutions to work on projects and tasks that must be completed.
The ceremony was accompanied with artistic program of Serbian academics Isidora Zebeljan and Dejan Despic, as well as of Hungarian composer Bela Bartok. Read were the writings of the first members of the Society of Serbian Letters - Jovan Sterija Popovic, Sima Milutinovic Sarajlija, Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic and Petar II Petrovic Njegos.
The ceremony was attended by National Assembly Speaker Slavica Djukic Dejanovic, Deputy Prime Ministers Bozidar Djelic and Jovan Krkobabic, Patriarch Irinej, representatives of religious communities in Serbia, academics, professors, and the diplomatic corps.

Kenny Williams, White Sox GM. The White Sox weren't expected to do much, but they've already traded Chris Getz and Josh Fields for Mark Teahen, and signed Andruw Jones and Vizquel, two big-time former stars. Williams surprised folks by forging a deal with Boras for Jones, whom he has coveted for years (they tried many years ago to pry him away from the Braves). Boras, who's had a sticky relationship with Williams, also tried to sell him on signing Crede rather than trading two young players for the talented unproven Teahen. But apparently détente has its limitations.

AC/DC's Wine Collection Now Available in the United States
AC/DC have been blasting your eardrums with hard-hitting rock since the Ford administration, and their music has aged like fine wine. Now, the iconic rockers have made their wine collection available in the United States for the first time.
AC/DC entered the spirit world, or should we say "the world of spirits," last year with the Australian rollout of their wine collection. Now the band is expanding the availability of the musically inspired wines, which include 'Back in Black' Shiraz, 'Highway to Hell' Cabernet Sauvignon, 'Thunderstruck' Chardonnay and 'Hells Bells' Sauvignon Blanc, from their native land to the United States.
"Traditionally all Winestate judging's are run exactly the same as any typical wine review program," says Winestate company owner Peter Jackson of the AC/DC brand. "With over 10,000 wines judged every year, more than 60% of wines submitted are not recommended. The new AC/DC wine label is not only very clever marketing, it's actually quite a very good wine!"
The wines will soon be available, via a deal brokered by Live Nation Merchandise, at a variety of national store chains, but are currently available for order at Vinport.com. The line will also be expanded beyond the four current types, with the upcoming addition of 'You Shook Me All Night' Long Moscato.
Outside of the vineyard, AC/DC is looking to deliver some new music, as well, although the process may not begin right away. Vocalist Brian Johnson recently said that the members will sit down and begin discussing their next move at some point this year, which he says usually gets the process under way. Johnson also said that they would likely re-team with producer Brendan O'Brien for the record, saying "he was just exceptional on [2008 album] 'Black Ice.'"

Mick McManus, CEO of a company called MAYA Design, offers some interesting reflections on the state of product innovation during the current downturn. In a brief video clip from The Wall Street Journal's website, McManus observed that he sees companies trying to protect their investment in new product development so that they will be ready when the economy picks up. He said he's seen some companies "that have laid off factory workers but have actually started pulling in more designers and more innovators to try to figure out what to do."

If you're adding film titles to your 2013 must-see list, here's one to consider: Longford, an HBO drama telling the true story of British Lord Longford, played by Jim Broadbent. I've recommended it many times since I first saw it in 2009 and did so again a week or so ago. Few films still have me thinking about them years afterward.
A devout Christian, Longford visits prisoners as part of his spiritual practice. In the beginning, the film shows him in an interview saying that the greatest achievement in his life is visiting and helping prisoners. Then the story begins.
A notorious criminal asks him to visit her, a woman convicted of a heinous crime involving the most vulnerable and precious members of society. They begin meeting regularly, and he helps her over many years in her legal battle. His long-term relationship with her becomes the greatest achievement of his life's greatest achievement.
Yet his efforts collapse in complete and utter failure. If I told you why it would be a spoiler, yet your guess probably comes close. Lord Longford is devastated and broken, an object of public scorn.
Time passes and he eventually writes a book on another topic. In an interview about this book, the subject of his visits with this prisoner comes up. The interviewer asks him if he regrets helping her. Longford pauses and says no. (Disclaimer: I don't have a transcript of the film and so this is my memory + paraphrasing kicking in.) He says he is grateful to her. He says that deepening his faith is what his spiritual journey is about and that his experience with her helped him at that. The film doesn't end there and I won't say anymore about the plot lest you plan to watch it and think I've spoiled it enough already.

Chain Reaction: Mooyah
Reviews of burgers at chain restaurants.
Of course we love our mom & pops, and our favorite burger joints around the country are pretty much all independently owned, but there are certain times in life—overnight layovers, hungover Sunday mornings, all-day shopping trips at the outlets—that the only options around are the chains. Chain Reaction is here to help you decide when to go for the burger, and when you're better off sticking with the chicken fingers.
5225 Beltline Road, Suite 254, Dallas TX 75254 (map); 972-661-3114
26 locations in TX, TN, CT, and CA; see list at mooyah.com
The Schtick: Build-your-own-burger with a health twist and emphasis on the fries
The Burger: Toppings can't save this sub-par beef
Want Fries With That? Your best bet on the menu, but large servings and hype can be let down by limp preparation
Setting: Bright, colorful, knowingly kitsch, crowded
Price: Mooyah Burger (double), $5; cheeseburger, $5.75; turkey burger, $5; fries, $2.75
Mooyah. It's fun to say. And you can tell from the decor that they're going for a playful vibe. But below the surface, the people behind this chain mean serious business.
Founded in Dallas in 2007, most of its two-dozen-ish locations are in the Metroplex area, but there are some scattered outposts from California to Connecticut. Indeed, the aim for Mooyah is very much to go national sooner rather than later, with multi-store franchisees aggressively sought: small wonder when one considers that the founders have a lifetime's worth of chain restaurant experience between them, from Romano's Macaroni Grill to Texan favorite Tin Star. But can Mooyah be their latest success story?
It depends. If their aim is to deliver a fair fast-food burger that's nothing to write home about, they're on the right track. But if they're true to their stated goal of delivering "the best burger you've ever tasted," they're seriously underperforming. Sitting down and saying, "Wait, wait... what would happen if Five Guys and In-N-Out had a baby? Let's do that!" is a nice idea, but only if it's executed properly. Here, it's not.
Walk inside, wait for your eyes to adjust to the bright reds, greens and yellows on the wall, and and pick up an order form. Yes, this is one of those places where you mark your burger on paper. And this is where you really start to understand Mooyah. Its idea of a great burger is a customized, sauce-heavy burger. They offer nine different liquid toppings—ten if you disregard their filing relish under "veggies"—along with all the usual add-ons (plus avocado.) Indeed, the only pre-defined burger is an In-n-Out-esque "Mooyah Style" offering with "L, T, P", grilled onions, and special sauce.
The word "lean" looms large on the walls, and with turkey and veggie offerings, as well as wheat buns, Mooyah is trying to position itself on the healthy side. Refusing to accept that a burger is health food, I ordered a double (6.5 ounces) on a white bun with bacon, American cheese, mustard, pickles, grilled onions, jalapeños, and relish.
In keeping with the chain's style, the kitchen is small and open, meaning you can watch the griddling action first-hand. They use a burger cover to keep the lean beef moist and to melt the cheese. While this is going on, another cook is assembling your cold toppings on the "custom-baked" bun, à la Subway. Then, there's lots of standing around for everyone.
Was it worth the wait? Not really. I thought the relish would be tomato relish but instead it was cucumber; this was my own fault, but I don't recall asking for four pounds of the stuff, so the topping imbalance is all down to Mooyah. Indeed, the toppings were all over the place. Pickles cut as thick as your wrist drip their vinegary goodness through the otherwise excellent sesame bun, while the mustard I ordered was scarcely present. This is always the danger of custom burger construction: There was no balance to it.
Yet the answer wouldn't be to simply order a burger as plain as possible. That's because the quarter-pound-ish patties themselves were dry and boring. They cooked the burger well done by default and the steam-griddling method didn't pay off in moisture terms. Although there was a small amount of tang from the meat it simply didn't sing the way a fast-food-style burger should. A lack of seasoning didn't help matters, but these dry, pallid patties were fighting a losing battle from the outset. In fact, I'd rather have had the turkey burger my wife ordered, which was, amazingly, not too dry and fairly tasty.
The idea of "fresh-cut in-house" fries set alarm bells ringing—if In-N-Out inspiration stretched this far, they would surely be terrible. In fact, this is one area where Mooyah almost gets it right. This comes from the Five Guys side of the coin—a cup filled to the brim with seasoned skin-ons, with another scoop thrown in the bag for good measure. Flavor-wise these were excellent, with just the slightest suspicion of spice. But considering the supposed "24-hour, multi-step" cooking process, someone should tell Mooyah that all of that labor is pointless if they don't come out crisp. I'm easily amused so I spent more than a few minutes bending my fries into the letter S. If cooked properly, these would be the one thing really worth going out of your way for.
As it stands, though, Mooyah simply isn't up to par. The concept is solid, and some of the execution—the buns, for example, and to some extent the fries—suggests a product that could go national. But the beef and the toppings are just so nondescript and wayward that it's hard to see what Mooyah really offers that ten other chains haven't done better before. That I can have Cholula and avocado on the burger is meaningless if the product as a whole just doesn't have it, and for all of Mooyah's grandiose claims to the contrary that's exactly where it finds itself.

A man with a kitchen knife has killed a one-year-old boy and injured two other children in the southern Chinese city of Zhongshan near Hong Kong, police said.
The 23-year-old man attacked the children in a rented room in Zhongshan, a police statement said. A 10-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy were injured.
The attacker, identified by only his surname Chen, was captured by police, the statement said. It gave no motive or other details.
China has suffered a series of knife attacks, often on children. Some suspects are mentally ill, but other attacks are blamed on disputes over land, business deals and other issues.
In May, a man who police said had a dispute with his neighbours fatally stabbed seven people in a village in the central province of Henan. In April, eight men slashed at students on a street in the north-western city of Ankang, killing one and injuring two others.
