Early in his career, Jon Voight must have been stationed somewhere on the far left of the Hollywood crowd. When he came up to Dartmouth in the spring of 1970 for a showing of "The Revolutionary," he clearly identified with the film's hero. In the question-and-answer session following the showing of the film, Voight explained in all seriousness that we should know "the revolution" was going to begin in Washington on November 15. Voight's radicalism was obviously no impediment to his livelihood. Indeed, it may well have facilitated a career of great prominence and distinction, including an Academy Award for his performance in "Coming Home."
Voight's career withstood his foolish radicalism, but his turn to patriotism and the middle of the road has raised a red flag, so to speak, in Hollywood. In his Washington Times column condemning Barack Obama, Voight speaks from his own experience:
The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement.
Such testimony is not appreciated in Hollywood, where it has elicited a remarkable column by Jeffrey Wells. Wells comments:
[I]t's only natural that industry-based Obama supporters will henceforth regard him askance. Honestly? If I were a producer and I had to make a casting decision about hiring Voight or some older actor who hadn't pissed me off with an idiotic Washington Times op-ed piece, I might very well say to myself, "Voight? Let him eat cake."
What's going on here? Roger Simon explores the phenomenon in "Hollywood's new blacklist," an excerpt from his forthcoming book. My friend Andrew Breitbart calls on the experience of his father-in-law Orson Bean to elucidate the phenomenon in "Blacklist then and now." Bean is a former Communist and current conservative, and he has suffered under both the old and new regimes in Hollywood. Andrew has previously cited Bean's testimony for the proposition it's harder now to be an open conservative on a Hollywood set now than it was to be a Communist in the 1950's. In his Washington Times column this week, Andrew quotes Bean:
"When the blacklist hit, I saw actors walk across the street to avoid me. The doorman at 485 Madison Avenue (former CBS headquarters) turned his back as I walked by. But I never felt hated by the ring-wing blacklisters. They just felt we were terribly wrong," he said.
"These days, the left doesn't just disagree with right-wingers – they hate them. People actually shudder when I tell them I'm a Republican. I should have to carry a bell and yell, 'unclean.' It doesn't bother me, though. I've been on both ends. Being hated is like voodoo. It only works if you feel hated. And I just won't. I know it will pass."
I don't know how Jon Voight feels, but Jeffrey Wells seems representative of the current Hollywood state of mind described by Bean.
JOHN adds: Jeffrey Wells tries to respond to our post here. It's fair to say that he backpedals:
I was just being honest about how I might theoretically react if I was in a position to hire or not hire Voight — big deal. That's several football fields away from suggesting or even implying that producers should band together and deny employment to Voight because he wrote an idiotic op-ed piece.
Actually, Scott didn't say anything about producers "banding together" to deny employment to Voight. As Wells himself wrote:
[I]t's only natural that industry-based Obama supporters will henceforth regard him askance.
I don't think that message could get a whole lot clearer.
SCOTT adds: Mickey Kaus quotes Wells in the comments section of his column:
It's been said in this town many times that the right has a debt to pay for the blacklisting of lefties in the '50s, and that in all fairness it's probably going to take a long time to make amends. The fact is that the philosophical grandfathers and great-grandfathers of today's right-wingers ruined the lives of many Hollywood screenwriters in the '50s, and so their descendants now have to suffer and make up for that. Simple. As you sew [sic] so shall you reap. He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.
As John says, the message couldn't get much clearer (or cruder).
JOHN adds: Or stupider. What on God's green earth does Jon Voight have to do with the 1950s blacklist? This guy is an idiot.

U.S. stocks fell after a six-week rally left the Standard & Poor's 500 Index trading at its most expensive valuation since July 2011.
Google Inc. declined 0.6% as Chairman Eric Schmidt adopted a plan to sell as many as 3.2 million shares in the operator of the world's most popular search engine. BlackBerry shares slid 4.6% while Apple Inc. rose 0.9%, after Home Depot Inc. said it will exchange 10,000 BlackBerry models with iPhones. AOL Inc. jumped 6.2% after an analyst recommended investors buy the shares.
The S&P 500 fell 0.1% to 1,516.19 at 3:11 p.m. in New York. The equity benchmark last week reached its highest level since November 2007, completing its longest streak of weekly gains since August. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 26.11 points, or 0.2%, to 13,966.86 today. Trading in S&P 500 companies was 24% below the 30-day average at this time of day.
"We're extremely overbought, but that doesn't mean the market can't continue higher," T. Doug Dale, chief investment officer at Jackson, Mississippi-based Security Ballew Inc. Wealth Management, which oversees $500 million in assets, said in a telephone interview. "But investors must be wary of air pockets, as in major downturns that can happen quickly."
'Stocks Pause'
The S&P 500 has rallied 6.3% so far in 2013 as U.S. lawmakers reached a budget compromise and companies reported better-than-estimated earnings. The index is trading at 15 times reported earnings, up from a low of 13 in 2012 and compared with the six-decade average of 16.4, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The gauge is about 3% below its record high reached in October 2007. It has more than doubled since bottoming in March 2009 as the Federal Reserve conducted three rounds of bond-buying to lower interest rates and boost economic growth.
"With the strong start this year, it'd be very understandable if stocks pause here," James McDonald, chief investment strategist at Northern Trust Corp. in Chicago, said by phone. His firm manages $759 billion. "The focus is going to be what the private sector can do to generate growth. The market understands that the public sector is not going to deliver any big presents."
Finance Ministers from the 17-member euro area were scheduled to meet today in Brussels to discuss aid to Cyprus and Greece as concern over the region's sovereign-debt crisis revives. Group of 20 finance chiefs and central bankers will gather in Moscow on Friday.

We each have a story. We each have a voice. And although our stories are unique, our desires are the same. We all want to smile with our entire body. Using my personal journey,let's start a forum where we can all meet to raise awareness - about ourselves as individuals and as a society. Bringing light to our world and creating a safe place for each of us to connect. "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."~ Marcel Proust.
A nice inspiring read!
"There is no They, there is no Them, there is only Us." - Dalai Lama
As I get older, it seems more clear to me that bad policy for communities and bad behavior for individuals - from war to treating someone rudely - traces back to a belief that there is a Them who is different from Us.
Thanks for the post.
Mmmm you're writing has inspired me and without a doubt has truly touched my hear and soul....you are amazing and awesome and awe inspiring
I really enjoyed this post! Since you ask, science inspires me. Finding the unknown within the known. You are truly a gifted writer. I'll look forward to reading your short story!

such a beautiful picture of you and the girls Val. Your love of life is special. I learn much from you so as a teacher you are a success.

We were in the mood for some lip-smackin' soul food. We'd seen a flier for Catfish N Ribs a long time ago but didn't know where it was. Driving along West Lane south toward March on a recent Friday night, we saw the restaurant's sign and felt our taste buds dance.
We were in the mood for some lip-smackin' soul food. We'd seen a flier for Catfish N Ribs a long time ago but didn't know where it was. Driving along West Lane south toward March on a recent Friday night, we saw the restaurant's sign and felt our taste buds dance.
We exited our car and were instantly greeted with a smell of fresh barbecue on the grill in the parking lot.
The restaurant is tucked in a strip mall. It's a little small, but welcoming, with ample seating and photos of jazz and blues greats on the walls. Jazz played softly.
The menu, above the ordering counter, is pretty vast for the size of the place, with main courses such as tri-tip, catfish, brisket, chicken, frog legs and ribs, both pork and beef.
Adventurous as we are, we skipped the frog legs this time. One of us decided to judge this place by the barbecue and went with the beef ribs meal ($11), which comes with two sides. With items such as mean greens, yams, onion rings, macaroni and cheese, and even spaghetti, it was hard to choose two. We went with baked beans and a garden salad with Italian dressing, and we added a side of sweet potato fries. Other a la carte items include hush puppies, fried pickles, wings and raviolis.
Seafood dinners were just as abundant in variety: snapper, tilapia, shrimp, oysters and more. We ordered the fried catfish ($9), which comes with French fries and coleslaw. Nearly all orders come with sliced bread. For dessert, we opted to share a wedge of their homemade pudding pound cake.
While seated and waiting for our food, we could hear the cooks in the small kitchen and could see the grill master at work outside. This place cooks pretty much everything fresh to order.
When the food came, it was a full spread. The portions were plentiful.
The thick cuts of catfish, about five chunks, had a cornmeal batter that was golden, not too thick or overly spiced in a way that would overpower the flavor of the moist fish. The fries were crinkle cut, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Now, we are picky about our coleslaw and hate it when it's thick and smothered in mayonnaise, but Catfish N Ribs' was light and refreshing. It was a great palate cleanser, but not necessarily something to stand on its own.
We were pleasantly surprised by the thickness, amount and size of the beef ribs. This place did not skimp for the price. The smoked taste of the meat mixed with the sweet and spicy barbecue sauce was mouth watering and made self control and pacing hard. The baked beans had a hint of pumpkin, which felt perfect for this time of year and a nice touch. The sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly and tasted great. The salad was a typical garden salad with crisp iceberg lettuce, shredded carrots and cabbage, and the Italian dressing on the side was tangy and flavorful.
We had gone back to order a side of mean greens and didn't get them. But we had so much food, we completely forgot we had ordered it.
It was a busy night for takeout, but there was only one other table of guests. The friendly staff are mostly family, and the owner, who was grilling, made sure to stop by our table and share his story of making his family restaurant dream come true.
There was so much food leftover that we had to box it up. At home later, we tried the homemade pound cake, which had a light icing drizzled over it. There was a slight burnt taste on the outer crust, which was nice. The cake was thick and moist, and paired well with the milk we washed it down with.
A day later, we heated the food in the microwave and the ribs still tasted as good as the first bite in the restaurant.
We are definitely going back, whether it be dine-in or takeout.

So I just got back from my pediatrician's office for our 9 month visit. LO is growing great, near 50th percentile in weight and between 50th-75th in height and developmentally on track or ahead of schedule. My one concern from the visit is that my pediatrician thinks I should be looking at night-weaning my son sooner rather than later. I'm not sure this feels right to me, but she was telling me that the older they are, the harder it gets to wean them off night feedings and teach them to sleep through the night. She told me about one of her patients, a 20 month old, whose mother is just now attempting night weaning and the toddler becomes so upset when Mommy doesn't come to feed him that he cries until he vomits. She recommends that I start night-weaning soon because it will be easier now than once he's a toddler and more willful.
The thing is, I work during the day so I don't have as many opportunities to nurse during the day as a mom who stays home. I enjoy nursing him once at night, and he certainly seems to enjoy it too. I think it's partly about being hungry, but also about getting extra cuddle time with Mom. At the moment he's waking 3+ times a night which isn't great but I attribute it to teething. If we could go back to 1-2 night wakings, as it was before the latest bout of teething started, that would be great in my opinion. I'm a bit reluctant to give up all of our night nursing sessions because I enjoy the closeness and I know he does too. But I'm worried about whether I'm creating a monster down the line when I do eventually want to night wean? Should I night wean now, or a couple of months from now, to avoid a bigger problem later? Or will he eventually outgrow the need to nurse at night and start sleeping through on his own? What has been your experience night-weaning a toddler?
I'm a bit confused by her advice because I thought you were supposed to BF on demand for the entire first year. This would include nighttime too, right? She says that nutritionally, he's big enough that he doesn't 'need' to nurse at night anymore. While he probably doesn't absolutely need it, he prefers nursing over the bottle so he tends to eat less during the day while I'm gone, so I do think he wakes partly from hunger at night (and partly from a desire for time with Mommy). She is also encouraging me to start more solids--he gets 1-2 solid meals a day right now and she's encouraged me to start 3 solid meals a day. She seems to think most of his nutrition should be from solid food by about a year. I don't agree with that. I think she also thinks I'm planning on weaning around a year, and I'm not. I plan to nurse until 18 months-2 years at this point, and after that we'll see. So I'm not in a huge hurry to get him onto more solids unless there's a good reason to do so nutritionally. He only has 2 teeth at this point and the amount of solids he eats is tiny so I don't see how he's going to get half of his nutrition from them by a year, unless a lot changes in the next few months.
I like this pediatrician and trust her medical advice, but I think our approaches to parenting are quite different. I'm trying to separate out here what is just her advice based on her own parenting style, from solid medical advice. Thanks in advance for your input.

DETROIT — The Buffalo Bills brushed away all the distractions and buried the New York Jets under an avalanche of emotion and execution.
The Bills overcame a tumultuous week and a change of venue to clobber the hapless New York Jets 38-3 Monday night at Ford Field.
The game was originally scheduled for Sunday in Orchard Park, N.Y., but was postponed and relocated when more than five feet of snow fell in the Buffalo area.
"Our guys were ready to go," coach Doug Marrone said. "Whether we rallied around all the adversity or not, those are questions for them. Obviously, we talked about it. We wanted to give the...

NASHUA — A local man who had photographs on his cell phone of children engaging in sexual activity was sentenced Wednesday in Hillsborough County Superior Court to 10 to 25 years in state prison, according to a release from Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia LaFrance.
Scott Colby, 41, was reported by a witness on Jan. 30 as having the images on his phone. Colby allowed police to examine his phone and the images were found on the phone's memory card, the release said.
Police found "a number of deleted photos depicting prepubescent children engaged in sexual activity," the release said.
Colby pleaded guilty to numerous charges, including 18 counts of possessing child sexual abuse images and possession of cocaine.

I have a customer that has an AM14 Dishwasher and some stuff I work on and other stuff I let Hobart do it. Their pump motor is in the process of dying and I told them to call Hobart, because They can get it repaired quicker than I could. They called Hobart and Hobart wants 1800 for the motor and 400 to install it....The guy who runs thew place called me to see if there was any alternatives since he thought that was quite expensive... I have to agree.
The only alternative I can think of is there is an electrical place in town that can rebuild motors and depending on the problem with this motor they may be able to fix it. The problem is it leaves the DW non functional for however long they'd have it and there is no guarantee they could fix it, depending how bad it is.
The motor is drawing too many amps, but still runs.... it starts to smoke when they delime it when the pump motor is running for 1/2 hour.
The only other alternative is a non Hobart replacement dishwasher.
Any suggestions?

Each object has its own color, each city its own predominant color scheme. Students from NABA in Milan went searching for colors, snapping 800 Polaroid images. Other students from other schools around the world will repeat the experience of Sense the Place, a travelling study on a city's visual identity, curated by architect Luca Buttafava and industrial designer Alessandro Confalonieri.

Wildcats will need to contend with Fargodome noiseBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 19. 2013 11:26PM
A BONE-CHILLING breeze and temperatures several degrees below zero greeted University of New Hampshire football players as they stepped off the airplane a few minutes after noon on Thursday.
The reception Friday night for the Wildcats in the Fargodome for their FCS semifinal battle with North Dakota State will be far less welcoming than that.
The Fargodome itself will be a comfortable 70 degrees, but North Dakota State University and its rabid fans will be out to turn up the heat on UNH in a major way.
The Wildcats, 10-4 and looking for a seventh straight win, are the only thing standing between undefeated North Dakota State and chance for a third consecutive FCS national championship.
The Fargodome has a well-earned reputation for being a tough place to play and the 18,000-plus likely to be in attendance will rock the building in support of their beloved Bison."We've been to a lot of loud places," said Paul Chapman, UNH director of strength and conditioning. "Rutgers was loud, Montana State was loud, Northern Iowa was loud. This is significantly louder than those. It's the loudest around. By far."
The Wildcats have not played here. Chapman, though, is 4-0 in the building. He was with the University of North Dakota before he came to UNH and the Fighting Sioux won each of the four times he visited and played the Bison while both teams were Div. II powers.
What especially ramps up the atmosphere, said Chapman and UNH coach Sean McDonnell, is that North Dakota State fans know their football and raise the roof on their noise at the most opportune time for their team, such as on third down for their opponent's offense.
The louder they make it, the more difficult it is to call or adjust a play.
UNH practiced on Tuesday and Wednesday this week at the New Hampshire Sportsplex in Bedford to get the feel for playing indoors and also to pipe in loud music and try to simulate the atmosphere in the Fargodome and work on getting their plays in and called.
Sophomore quarterback Sean Goldrich, who ran for three touchdowns in last week's 20-17 quarterfinal win at Southeastern Louisiana, thinks his team will be able to deal with the noise.
"I don't think that's going to be much of a factor," Goldrich said. "The good thing is we're not a huddle team. It's not like we'll have to be talking to one another, so if it gets too loud we'll be able to overcome that. We hope."
They certainly do hope.
"The biggest thing is how we handle the noise on offense and how we contain their power and Jensen," McDonnell said.
Brock Jensen is North Dakota State's outstanding senior quarterback who has passed for 30 touchdowns and run for eight more and has been intercepted just six times.
His weapons include running backs Sam Ojuri (1,239 yards and eight touchdowns) and John Crockett (996, 10 TDs) and receiver Zach Vaara (1,064 yards and 13 TDs). He also has senior tackle Billy Turner protecting him.
"He's 6-foot-6 and 314 pounds and I keep watching the tape and marveling at how fast he can run," McDonnell said of Turner.
McDonnell says the Bison, in a way, are a combination of a couple of UNH's Colonial Athletic Association rivals: He likens their power offense to Towson's and their defense to William & Mary's.
That's not a real good thing. Those teams handed the Wildcats their last two losses: They fell at Towson, 44-28, on Oct. 5 and at William & Mary, 17-0, on Nov. 2.
Only two teams came within 18 points of North Dakota State this year: Kansas State in a 24-21 Bison win in their opener on the road and Northern Iowa in a 24-23 Bison win at home on Oct. 5.
North Dakota State needed rallies to win both games.
"Against Northern Iowa, they stuck to their game plan and just ran it down their throat," said UNH senior safety and captain Manny Asam.
The Wildcats will look to get out to a good start.
Coastal Carolina struggled early against North Dakota State in the quarterfinals last week and got blown out of the Fargodome, 48-14.
The Wildcats will see if they can do a better job of dealing with the noise and the explosive Bison.
"I think we've got a real good system in terms of our silent count stuff and these guys are pretty dialed in," said first-year wide receivers coach Ricky Santos.
Santos, the quarterback who kick-started UNH's run of 10 straight playoff appearances in 2004, led the Wildcats into a bunch of tough places to play.
"I used to love playing in venues like this," he said as he looked around the Fargodome. "These guys are great competitors on this team and they feel the same way. I think they shine brightest in the biggest games and I think they're going to do that again (Friday)."

Category 5 (CAT5) cabling is good, solid cable for 100-Mbps LANs. The Category 5 standard has been around since 1991, so it's well established. You'll find existing Category 5 installations everywhere. What can Category 5 cable do, and what can't it do?
If you still have a lot of 10-Mbps equipment, CAT5 cabling will serve your needs. It also handles 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet transmissions very well.
But if you're running up against the performance limits of a 100-Mbps network, you'll probably want to upgrade at least parts of your system fairly soon to Category 5e (CAT5e) or higher.
Category 5e, also known as Enhanced Category 5, or CAT5e, was ratified in 1999. It's an incremental improvement designed to enable cabling to support full-duplex Fast Ethernet operation and Gigabit Ethernet.
The main differences between CAT5 and CAT5e can be found in the specifications. The performance requirements have been raised slightly in the new standard.
CAT5e has stricter specifications for Power Sum Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (PS-ELFEXT), Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), Attenuation, and Return Loss (RL) than those for CAT5. Like CAT5, CAT5e is a 100-MHz standard, but it has the capacity to handle bandwidth superior to that of CAT5. With these improvements, you can expect problem-free, full-duplex, 4-pair Ethernet transmissions over your CAT5e UTP.

Medications aren't always the answer to pain relief. Alternate methods have been used for generations – some with success, some not. As with any treatment, you should discuss this with your doctor. Many physicians incorporate alternative therapies with traditional medicine to find the best solutions for their patients.
If the pain is stress related, like many headaches and some backaches, some people may find stress relief from:
- relaxation techniques
- aromatherapy
- massages
Other alternative therapies may also provide relief. These include:
- acupuncture
- biofeedback
- chiropractic

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jennifer Agiesta, a deputy director of polling for The Associated Press, has been named the news organization's director of polling responsible for setting strategy and providing guidance on polling issues across the AP.
The appointment was announced Monday by Washington bureau chief Sally Buzbee.
"Jenn brings strong polling expertise and journalistic expertise to this vital role," Buzbee said. "We expect her to be a strong resource and mentor to help guide journalists across the company. She is, in addition, a fluid and graceful writer herself."
The AP conducts a range of public opinion polling on political and policy issues, including through the Associated Press-GfK poll in conjunction with GfK Roper Public Affairs & Corporate Communications and through the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research in conjunction with NORC at the University of Chicago.
Agiesta, who has worked for AP since 2010, previously served as a polling analyst at The Washington Post, helping expand the polling operation's profile through the Behind the Numbers blog. She also managed several aspects of exit polling in 2002 and 2004 with Edison Research of Somerville, N.J., and Voter News Service of Brooklyn, N.Y., and previously worked on research for communications strategies for several private firms.
She is a native of Long Island, N.Y., and a graduate of Washington and Lee University.

Though it's an idea by OLPC Europe, I'm not sure wether we should limit this working group to Europe.
But we have to start somehow
* If you know about european Pilot Projects, describe it here:
* To exchange your experience and your ides, start here

Flood Relief
Malawi Floods Displace More Than 100,000 People
Several weeks of heavy rain have resulted in devastating floods in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in southern Africa. Tens of thousands of families have been displaced and at least 200 people are dead or missing. Many people remain trapped in areas surrounded by water, while others are housed in temporary camps with a shortage of decent shelter and sanitation facilities.
UNICEF is airlifting 90 tons of emergency relief supplies including medicines, tents, food and milk for treating malnutrition and hygiene kits. UNICEF is also delivering educational and recreational supplies for children dealing with trauma.
Floods in Serbia, Bosnia, Herzegovina
In 2014, several countries in South East Europe faced severe floods due to the heaviest rains seen in the region in more than a century. In Serbia, an estimated 1.2 million people—including more than 200,000 children—were affected by the floods. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, an estimated 250,000 children were affected.
UNICEF provided essential services for children and families affected by the disaster, and continues to provide long-term support in all three countries.
In the Philippines, Flooding Takes Young Lives
UNICEF has responded to several severe flooding episodes in the Philippines over the last two years. On November 8, 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan — called Yolanda locally — brought flash floods, landslides and immense destruction to the country. Thousands were killed, 4 million people were displaced and an estimated 5.5 million children affected by the storm. UNICEF mobilized all of its available resources to reach these children immediately.
Double-Punch for Flooded Pakistan
Tens of thousands of communities in Sindh province in Pakistan suffered the impact of severe flooding in 2010 and again in 2011.
The second round of monsoons affected more than 5 million people - half of them children, who are always the most vulnerable in an emergency. Homes, schools, crops and livelihoods were destroyed.
UNICEF's response to the flooding in Pakistan was one of the largest emergency relief efforts in history. As part of that response, UNICEF delivered:
- Safe drinking water for an estimated 194,000 people each day;
- Water purification tablets to reduce the spread of water-borne disease;
- Health kits and basic medications for 500,000 people;
- Polio and measles vaccinations for children and tetanus vaccinations for women; and
- Insecticide-treated bednets to protect against malaria.
UNICEF is working to provide essential services for children and families affected by severe flooding.

It has been awhile I last posted about homemade dishes. I am still cooking but hard to find time for photo shooting with two little monkeys around. For time being, please help yourselves with some snacks and cakes I made during their nap time.
I fond on this cake ever since I was a little kid, simply because one of my aunts made very good steamed rice cake. She passed away quite young, in her mid 40s if I remember correctly. Cakes she made were soft and fluffy, every mouthful of wonderful rice aroma without the yeasty smell and sourly taste. I regretted that did not learn to make this cake from her, I was too little then.
I searched for the recipe for sometimes, and found this recipe using traditional method which means.... no shortcut! Some other recipes called for instant yeast, cakes made with this type of yeast tend to have yeasty and sourly taste. So, I settled on the traditional method. The process seemed time consuming but it was actually pretty easy to make. Verdict? The "hard" work paid off, cakes had great texture and aroma. It was almost perfect, except the dome shape. I guess I can work on it a bit.
Actually my nose was blocked on the day the cake was made, could not smell a thing. Why I made it when I was sick? You will know as you read on the recipe. I ate some leftover cake the next day, straight from the fridge. Surprisingly, it did not hardened and thank god that I was able to get the sweet rice aroma I missed.
It is known as Apam Tapai in Malay, this recipe is belong to sofinar from Myresipi. Translated recipe as follows:
Ingredients (makes 30 pieces depending on the size of mould):
1 bowl of rice, room temperature
1/4 tapai yeast
1 bowl sugar
2 bowl water
2 bowl rice flour
2 tsp eno
- Ground the tapai yeast, and sprinkle over rice. Mix until well blended. Cover bowl with plastic and set aside for two days or until it is watery.
- Add in sugar in batches and mix until sugar is melted.
- Add half amount of the water, mix well.
- Add in rice flour and mix well.
- Then add in remaining amount of water and mix well.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 5-6 hours.
- Just before steaming, add in eno and stir well.
- Steam in a preheated steamer for 15 minutes.
Cook's notes:
- I used 200ml bowl for this recipe.
- Steamed over medium heat.
- Made roughly 20 pieces, regular muffin case size.
- Added some food colouring.
- To reduce the amount of eno next time, for better dome. Perhaps?
- The fermented rice is yellowish in colour and has sweet wine aroma.
* * * Updated on 1 May 2010 * * *
This is the yeast I used, it says Ragi (means yeast in Malay) on the label. Got it from Tesco, forgotten the price. I saw something like this at Asian Market in Sydney before, also packed in individual pack like this. The size is about 4 cm in diameter, mine left half for photo shooting.

From the style of dress to the classic cars and vintage storefronts, it truly is a unique city. I saw this car and it seemed to embody the "old" Memphis that I found so inspiring.

News and notes from the Raiders' 45-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints Saturday at the Coliseum:
— Tom Cable said the Raiders didn't have any zip, Jon Alston said there was a lack of enthusiasm and the stats said the Raiders barely showed up at all.
New Orleans had 31 first downs (14 rushing, 14 passing, three by penalty), the Raiders had 9.
New Orleans had 536 yards of total offense (304 passing, 232 rushign) and the Raiders had 289 (237 passing, 52 rushing).
New Orleans was 8-for-16 on third down conversions, the Raiders were 1-for-10.
New Orleans was 4-for-4 on fourth down conversions, the Raiders were 1-for-3.
New Orleans ran 83 plays and had the ball for 39:27, the Raiders had it for 47 snaps and 20:33.
— The official attendance (tickets sold) was 32,585. The amount of people who actually showed up was considerably less, and many were booing after the Saints scored on the second of their three effortless drives to open the game.
— Repeat to yourself, "It was only a preseason game." Otherwise, the game had the distinct aroma of some of the Raiders worst home field performances of recent years. At least that's what it says in my Web exclusive column.
— Game circumstance would have made it difficult for the Raiders to run, but Cable indicated the plan was to pass anyway. He is determined to upgrade the passing attack, and it appears to have worked to some extent.
The quesiton whether they can suddenly revert to being an upper eschelon running team after working so hard on passing during pracitce and preseason games. Cable said the Raiders are doing enough in their running periods in practice to stay sharp for Week 1 of the regular season.
"I stated numerous times we really need to get this passing game to a level that will give us some balance where we can score points," Cable said. "We just continue to want to work at that. I believe it's the right thing to do."
— Wide receiver Louis Murphy was targeted seven times and caught three passes for 84 yards, but had two drops and a fumble _ the fumble coming after a 38-yard gain from Russell into New Orleans territory.
"Aw, man, it was my worst game ever," Murphy said. "Two drops, a big-time fumble, costly when we tried to come back and give a spark to the offense. I take that responsibility. The NFL is faster and the DBs are right on you so you have to work on tucking the ball away."
— Darrius Heyward-Bey, the first-round pick and also a rookie starter, caught a 12-yard slant on the first play from scrimmage and was blanked afteward even though he played into the third quarter.
— Wide receiver Javon Walker estimates he got in about "six or seven" snaps. He was never the target of a pass as the Raiders are easing him back in slowly. When asked if he was disappointed he didn't play more, Walker said, "A little bit, you know just to get into the grove. Obviously it's kind of hard to keep yourself motivated, keep yourself warm, but I'll take what I can get and let them make a decision from there."
— Wide receiver Jonathan Holland scored the Raiders' only touchdown on a 43-yard catch and run from Jeff Garcia and plans on putting it behind him to concentrate on his roster battle with Nick Miller and Todd Watkins.
"As a football player you never become complacent," Holland said. "You don't want to be like that. I feel like next week, starting Monday, I still gotta go out there and prove myself. So I don't want to settle for what happened today, or for what happened at practice. I want to keep getting better."
— Safety Hiram Eugene didn't start after missing a few days of practice and was a late arrival Devery Henderson's 40-yard touchdown reception from Drew Brees.
— Other than holding on to the ball too long and coughing up the ball on a sack-fumble, Russell continued to show growth as a young quarterback.
"I didn't really see too much of what you would you say poor decision making," Cable said. "I thought he was pretty much right on."
Russell's fumble came on a play which Cable thought he should have checked down to a back rather than wait for Zach Miller to come free in the end zone. It was reminisicent of last season, where fumbles (Russell lost seven of them) were a bigger issue than interceptions.
— Terdell Sands never got into a game in which the Saints had 83 snaps. Cable said he's been bypassed on the depth chart. Could be they simply don't want Sands to be hurt because he they're planning on cutting him during the opening cut down to 75 on Tuesday.
— Desmond Bryant, the undrafted rookie out of Harvard, had the Raiders' lone sack and seems assured a spot on the 53-man roster.
— "Like I just told them, don't let that game define us, but certainlygoing into it you want to put an effort out there that kind of sets you up for the rest of the road here. Disappointing. Very disappointing, is the only way to put it. We'll go back to work and see if we can freshen up and get this team where it should be," Cable, when asked what he told the team after the game.
— There wasn't a lot of explanation from defenders as to what happened. Most said they were embarrassed, need to pay attention to detail and have to play better. It was hard to conclude anything other than 2009 could be more of the same with regard to the Raiders defense.
Getting cut up by Brees is one thing. That's going to happen to a lot of teams. But the Saints' ability to run the ball with ease suggests they're not close to curing what ails them in that area.
— After going from 14 penalties in the preseason opener to seven against San Francisco, the Raiders were back up to 10 against the Saints for 89 yards.
— Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha sustained a chip fracture of his left wrist that Cable said is not an issue in terms of missing game time. Others who didn't finish included CB-KR Justin Miller (turf toe), S Michael Huff (strained quad) and S Rashad Baker (stinger).

Champaign, IL—Athletes serious about improving their physique and strength-training performance will do anything they can to achieve success. But, according to Susan Kleiner, a registered dietitian and creator of the widely popular Power Eating program, advice given to strength trainers is often a confusing mix of fact and fiction. In the new edition of her book, Power Eating (Human Kinetics, 2013), Kleiner separates fact from fiction by sharing five principles that all strength trainers can follow to get in shape and achieve their personal best in performance.
These are the same principles Kleiner has advocated for world-class athletes, Olympic contenders, and recreational strength trainers for more than 25 years.
More than 100,000 people have turned to Power Eating and its proven nutrition strategies for gaining power, reducing body fat, building muscle, and enhancing training results. The new fourth edition offers a scientific blueprint for helping strength and power athletes achieve superior performance.

Notre Dame Bits: Debilitating 'D,' last-second play calls, Gary Gray's day, more
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- At the halfway point of the season, Notre Dame's defense is officially all the way to being a problem.
Surrendering an eye-dilating 501 yards to USC on Saturday was easily the unit's worst effort of the season, but it was hardly news: It was the fourth time in six games that an opponent amassed 430 yards or more, and the fourth time in five games that Notre Dame surrendered 30 or more points.
Afterward, the Irish appeared to be at a loss for an explanation, besides a very unsatisfying, general one.
"We just didn't make the plays we needed to make on defense," linebacker Brian Smith said. "We didn't do what we needed to do defensively to win the game."
Once again, there were some key plays made at key times -- Gary Gray's interception and 30-yard return foremost among them -- but the preposterously open USC receivers and extremely apparent missed tackles tended to overshadow that. USC's true freshman quarterback, Matt Barkley, threw for 380 yards -- nearly 100 more than his previous best of 283 versus California.
"Except for that first (touchdown) drive where they got three jumps there...most of the guys I saw running open were off of bootlegs or the fake slip screen, where the tight end was running down the middle of the field," Irish coach Charlie Weis said.
"I'd have to wait and see it (on tape). But they did a nice job with play-action, neutralizing our rush."
Oddly, on what was the second-to-last play of the game, Golden Tate wasn't even in the end zone before the slant route fell incomplete -- the junior saying afterward that he was jammed at the line and had no choice but to take the route inside, before the defender stepped inside of him.
Meanwhile, on the last play, Tate essentially served as a decoy when USC sent safety help to him, leaving Irish receiver Duval Kamara to make a play -- which he didn't, slipping out of his break.
"We were running a high-low to the left," Weis said. "We practiced it with Robby (Parris). Robby was hurt at the time. So you had Duval on the slot, and Kyle (Rudolph) over the top. Duval is coming open on the quick out. He's open. He falls down. Slips out of the break. Could the (defender) have made a play? I don't think so. I think (Kamara) would catch it for a touchdown. But he slips."

Love the atmosphere once you finally get down to Tokyo. This is what I've been waiting for!
That Nocturne "Demons" battle theme remix! Was not expecting that. Even with headphones on,I'm a bit sad about the overall sound quality, because that was a pleasant surprise.
Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game, I'm loving it quite a bit and it is saving me from my ARR withdrawal symptoms. There are just some strange, minor issues.
Classic Eusis... create a new topic after people have been discussing it forever on another page
Medusa. I get that I need to use wind spells, but I keep getting wrecked so I think I'll need to do some recruiting + fusing. And see if there's any good resistive/null armor for lightning.

If one thing is for certain, it's that Eddie Wall knows how to throw an event. The inaugural "Eddie Wall Ride" is a pun-filled event introduced to Mammoth's WCI weekend and today-under sunny skies and tropic temperatures-snowboarding's elite showed up to support their good friend Ed. The Mammoth Unbound park crew pushed together a handful of wallride options, tranny finders and mini jumps that spoke to the contestants' ability to get creative rather than hucking meat off of a massive cheese wedge.
The rider list included the likes of Peter Line, Lucas Magoon, Ed Wall Sr., Niko Cioffi, Dylan Alito, Johnny Lazzareschi, Tim Humphreys, Lane Knaack, Heikki Sorsa, Forest Bailey, Kyle Florig Clancy, Cornell Agee Jr., Zak Hale, Scotty Blum, Kael Hill and a slew of others. Everyone loves Eddie, and the rider turnout exemplified that sentiment as some of the world's best lapped the setup. The beautiful thing about the event was that the course was accessible via the Main Park chair, so everyone could get in a full park lap before entering the venue to finish off their run. Waves of shreds poured in throughout the day and contestants and poachers alike popped off walls, hits, quarterpipes and jibs. Oren Tanzer and the Unbound crew pushed together one of the most unique and creative setups I've seen on-hill in quite some time and it's safe to say that many riders didn't take the same line more than twice. Personally, it was rad to see riders like JP Walker, Joe Sexton, Kyle Clancy and Lane Knaack riding the same venue. Doesn't happen all that often, so I made sure to take note.
At the end of the day, it was everyone's favorite Live Action Role Player Tim Humphreys who took the top honors. Humpy disclosed to me after the fact that he hadn't even intended to ride in the contest but a last minute entry seems to have worked out for the little nerd. Humpy killed it, and he most definitely deserved the win. Nice work Humpy. We only call you a nerd 'cause we like you. Second place went to the seemingly unstoppable Forest Bailey whose board wizardry on the bottom wallride was dizzying to say the least. Forest won some cash that will most likely be used up by the night's end. Third place went to newcomer Brandon Hobush but to be honest, I didn't really see his runs. I trust the fact that X Games judge Pat Moore used discretion when calculating his "overall impression" of young Brandon Hobush. Other prizes (Apple iPads, no big deal) were handed out to Scotty Blum for his Andrecht on the wallride coping, Peter Line for a backside 5 wallride and Niko Cioffi for spending his youth in Rutland, Vermont. You can congratulate them personally this evening in the youporn chatroom.
What followed after Eddie's event was a Rail Jam of epic proportions. Tyler Flanagan, Trevor Jacob, Scotty Stevens, Brandon Hobush, Yale Cousino, Jeremy Cloutier, Lucas Magoon and many more sessioned the setup for almost an hour and a half, and they sure did some really impressive stuff, but it was a little-known kid named Ryan Paul that did one of the craziest, most ridiculous tricks in the history of rail contests. Others rode well, but 86 stole the show and outshined his peers. Little-known no more, Ryan Paul has officially landed. Peep the pictures while you wait for the video.

2. Re: Thunderbolt information neededbobtek Feb 24, 2011 12:41 PM (in response to Doc_SilverCreek)
Yes, I've seen that web page. Mostly marketing stuff. I'm looking for developer information needed to be able to use Thunderbolt I/O for a new product I am designing. Things like chip spec sheets on the Intel Thunderbolt controller chip, cable and connector suppliers, software drivers available, etc.
3. Re: Thunderbolt information neededbobtek Feb 24, 2011 2:10 PM (in response to bobtek)
According to a CNET blog from the Intel briefing this morning, Intel is selling a Thunderbolt Developers Kit. I haven't been able to find any information on the Dev Kit.
4. Re: Thunderbolt information firstname.lastname@example.com Feb 25, 2011 7:26 PM (in response to bobtek)
I'm looking for the same information! Can't wait to find it.
5. Re: Thunderbolt information neededbobtek Feb 25, 2011 7:49 PM (in response to email@example.com)
I have seen press references to the TB developer kit being available sometime on the spring. That reference was in the context of a developer kit for PC system vendors. Not sure if it is the same developer kit for peripheral manufacturers. Not seen a word directly from Intel about any development kit.
I'm really not sure if this is the best place to look for help on this but it is the only one I've found that looks like it will get somewhere. Too bad Intel isn't being aggressive in seeking adopters for this wonderful new technology. I guess that is how USB started out long ago and we'll just have to wait.
6. Re: Thunderbolt information neededDoc_SilverCreek Feb 25, 2011 8:49 PM (in response to bobtek)
I was hoping some one from that team would make a POST on this.
I found a number of other links, but so far nothing on the specifics. i.e. a white paper or a set of part numbers.
7. Re: Thunderbolt information neededDoc_SilverCreek Feb 25, 2011 9:34 PM (in response to Doc_SilverCreek)
One more link https://intelconsumerelectronics.com/CE-Network/Intel-CEN-Overview.aspx
I would think these guys should know.

Three Graduate Engineering Programs Rank in Top 50
By Jennifer Donovan | Published
Graduate school rankings released today by US News & World Report rank three of Michigan Technological University's graduate engineering programs in the top 50 nationwide. The annual rankings evaluated 198 graduate schools of engineering.
Michigan Tech's programs ranked as follows:
• Environmental engineering - 33
• Mechanical engineering - 48
• Materials science and engineering - 49
Two other graduate programs at Michigan Tech ranked in the top 100 nationwide, as
did the College of Engineering overall. Those rankings include:
• Civil engineering - 58
• Geological and mining engineering and sciences - 77
• College of Engineering - 82
"Our long-term goal is to advance the reputation of our graduate programs," said Michigan Tech President Glenn D. Mroz. "That is not a timid goal, but we know what we need to do; it is spelled out in our strategic plan. We are laying the groundwork now, and we know it won't happen overnight. We are competing with the best universities in the US and the world for resources and talented graduate students. But Michigan Tech is becoming more and more competitive."
Each year, US News & World Report ranks graduate schools of business, education, engineering, law and medicine. According to the magazine, the rankings are based on two kinds of data--the opinions of graduate school deans, program directors, senior faculty and employers of new graduates, and statistical measures such as student-to-faculty ratio, faculty research activity and doctoral degrees awarded.
Engineering specialties are ranked solely on the basis of assessments by department chairs in each specialty. The American Society for Engineering Education recommends department chairs to be surveyed.
The rankings will be featured in the May 2009 issue of US News & World Report. Information is also available online at www.usnews.com/grad and www.usnews.com/aboutgrad.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

GROSSETO, Italy (AP) — The crippled Costa Concordia lies on its side off the tiny Tuscan island of Giglio, a stubborn reminder of the 2012 shipwreck that claimed 32 lives. On Tuesday, the luxury cruise liner's captain went on trial here as the sole defendant in a case that may take months or longer to resolve — making an end to the drama even more elusive.
Francesco Schettino is charged with manslaughter, abandoning ship and causing the shipwreck. He took his place at the defendant table at the edge of the orchestra pit in Grosseto's Teatro Moderno, a 1,000-seat theater that is serving as a more spacious substitute for the courtroom of this Tuscan provincial capital because so many survivors and victims' relatives were expected to attend.
Instead, aside from journalists and a panel of judges, at a table on the stage, the theater was virtually empty. A nationwide, eight-day lawyers' strike had generated wide expectations that Judge Giovanni Puliatti would immediately adjourn the opening hearing. It didn't quite happen that way: Puliatti intoned a nearly hour-long roll call of lawyers' names before calling it a day — setting the next session for July 17.
It was the latest example of Italy's slow-moving justice system. But what has riled survivors even more is the lack of any other defendants in the trial, frustrating hopes of learning why the sophisticated ship struck the jagged reef, and why everyone wasn't safely evacuated.
One of the lawyers representing survivors, Daniele Bocciolini, said what his clients wanted was simple: "We are asking for justice," he told Sky TG24 TV.
Schettino "is the only defendant, but he is not the only one responsible," said Bocciolini. "There is still a need to shed light on what happened."
Court-appointed experts have concluded that the crew and owner Costa Crociere SpA, a unit of Miami-based Carnival Corp., committed blunders and safety breaches that contributed to the disaster off the island's rocky coast.
Five other defendants successfully sought plea bargains, and their hearing will be held in Grosseto on July 20. Their sentences are expected to be much more lenient than the 20 years in prison Schettino might face if convicted.
Prosecutors contend that Schettino steered the ship too close to the island's coastline in a publicity stunt for Costa Crociere. The cruise company denies that version of events.
Survivors described a chaotic and delayed evacuation, with crew allegedly at first downplaying the seriousness of the collision, which caused a gash 70 meters (230-feet) long in the Concordia's side and let seawater rush into the ship.
The wait for justice will be long, with sheer legal logistics dragging the trial out.
Schettino's lawyer, Domenico Pepe, said that some 1,000 witnesses will be called to testify. That phase of the trial alone could take weeks.
Many of the witnesses will be drawn from the 4,200 passengers and crew aboard the ship that rammed the reef on the night of Jan. 13, 2012, rapidly took on water and capsized, leaving many of the lifeboats unable to be lowered into the sea.
Dozens of people had to be plucked to safety by helicopters, while others jumped off the badly tilting ship into the sea and swam to Giglio's rocky shores. Survivors were stunned to see Schettino already on shore when, exhausted, they stepped onto land.
Remains of two of the dead were never found.
For weeks, divers dodged floating mattresses, tableware, chairs and other furnishings of the Concordia in their search of the interior as well as the exposed side of the boat. They plumbed the nearby chilly waters in vain search for the bodies of a middle-aged Italian woman, whose family said she was an excellent swimmer, and of an Indian man who worked as a waiter aboard.
Schettino, wearing sunglasses and slipping on a blue jacket over his white shirt, made no comments as he hurried into a back entrance of the theater. On his way out, before darting into a car, he told reporters: "We'll see you on the 17th," when trial is set to resume.
Schettino has depicted himself as a scapegoat. Far from being a coward, he insists, he was a hero for steering the ship closer to Giglio's port after the collision — a maneuver he claimed helped save countless lives by making rescue easier.
The public's idea of him contrasts sharply. It is largely shaped by an oft-broadcast recording of a phone conversation between Schettino and an exasperated Italian coast guard official who repeatedly ordered the captain to scramble back aboard the ship to direct the evacuation.
Schettino has claimed he had to abandon the capsizing boat while people were still aboard before it became impossible to launch any more lifeboats and he planned to direct the rest of the evacuation from shore. He also has claimed that in the darkness he didn't see a ladder he could have used to climb back aboard.
The Concordia's wreck blights the seascape for yet another summer in an otherwise pristine part of the Tuscan archipelago, confounding experts' initial predictions that the ship would have been removed by spring 2013.
On Giglio, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) southwest of Grosseto, residents depend on tourism and fishing for their livelihoods. The wreckage mars the panorama from the island's harbor, where locals and tourists sip drinks and mingle in the evening.
Salvage experts had originally predicted the ship could be tipped upright in an ambitious operation so towing could begin in spring of this year. But that timetable has slipped away.
The removal project involves some 400 workers representing 18 nationalities, including engineers and divers. This week, crews were busy securing some of the caissons being attached to one side of the crippled ship, which, the planners hope, will help the wreckage stay afloat when eventually righted so it can be towed to the mainland.
Islanders are impatient for the removal of the eyesore.
"We want our island back as it was," Giglio's mayor, Sergio Ortelli, told The Associated Press on Monday as he looked at the blue cove where he used to swim. Now, towering cranes and platforms of the removal team loom over the shipwreck.
Ortelli said authorities told the islanders the operation will begin in September to bring the wrecked ship upright again.
The island is still awaiting compensation for damages caused by the shipwreck, he said. "Our image was internationally damaged, and tourism figures have dropped off noticeably," the mayor said.
Most haunting is the human cost of the Concordia's fateful collision.
"The saddest thing is to pass by on the ferry and think that two bodies are still there, or will never be found," said tourist Patrizia Giovanelli.

By the middle of the second semester last year at Virginia Tech, Christian Beyer was spending three or four days a week playing pick-up basketball on campus at McComas Hall recreation center.
He could've been sitting on the bench in games and sweating with teammates in practices as a freshman walk-on for Tech's men's basketball team, but he decided to bypass the opportunity. It turns out the game meant more to him than he anticipated.
"At first, it wasn't that bad," said Beyer, a 6-foot-7 forward who was an all-region player as a senior at New Bern (N.C.) High School. "I was never a huge fan of (former Tech coach Seth Greenberg) as a coach, so that definitely did influence why I didn't play.
"I kind of enjoyed my free time and not having to wake up early for practice and weights. I wanted just a regular college life at first. … Then, as the second semester began, I felt that gaping hole from just missing the game."
Now, as Tech (9-4) opens its Atlantic Coast Conference slate noon Saturday at Maryland (12-1) after losing three of its last four games, Beyer is on the team as a sophomore, and he's not merely a tall permanent fixture at the end of the bench. With Tech short on scholarship players, and struggling to keep those guys healthy, walk-ons such as Beyer and guard Will Johnston had legitimate roles in the early season.
"It feels good just to be able to contribute," said Johnston, a 6-3 sophomore guard from Midlothian who's averaging just over 10 minutes per game and averaging 3.4 points per game. "I wouldn't say I'm like a key to it, but when coach puts me in I just want to go in there and knock down a shot when I get it."
Beyer and Johnston, who played four games last season as a freshman walk-on, both had specific roles in the early going. Beyer entered the season as the team's No. 3 power forward behind C.J. Barksdale and freshman Marshall Wood, which meant Beyer probably wasn't going to get much playing time.
Wood went down Dec. 15 with a fractured third metatarsal bone in his left foot. Tech coach James Johnson said Thursday that Wood no longer is wearing a walking boot, but there's still no timetable for his return.
With Wood out, Beyer's minutes dramatically increased. In Tech's last three games, he came off the bench to play 27 minutes against Bradley, 25 minutes against Colorado State and 23 minutes against Brigham Young, scoring nine points and pulling down 11 rebounds in the BYU game.
"I think any time those (walk-ons) can get on the floor, it's good experience for them," Johnson said. "(Beyer has) been practicing and working hard all year. I told those guys at some point they're going to have to help us win a game, and he helped us (against Bradley and BYU)."
He's averaging 1.8 points and 3.9 rebounds per game in a little over 11 1/2 minutes per contest. After displaying a penchant for getting on the glass in recent games, Beyer could be in for more minutes against Maryland (12-1), which is sixth in the nation in rebounds per game (43) and leads the ACC in rebounding margin (plus-13.5 per game).
"I expect the game to be in the paint again," Johnson said. "That's something that's been every game. It seems like it's been a great rebounding team, or a team that's attacking inside. We've got to be ready for a physical, physical game."
While Beyer has helped Tech's rebounding stats, Johnston has been a deadly shooter from the perimeter. All of his shot attempts have come from 3-point range, and he's made 11 of 23 of them (47.8 percent; best 3-point shooting percentage on the team).
"I just kind of expect coach to throw me in when he wants like a spark maybe, or if (Jarrell Eddie is) tired or (Robert Brown is) tired," said Johnston, who was a two-time first team All-Dominion District selection at Midlothian High. He said he had opportunities to play in college at Dartmouth as well as several Division III schools such as Christopher Newport, Randolph-Macon and Lynchburg. "Just to go in, get a rebound, get a loose ball, knock down an open shot, stuff like that."

Dow's Leaders Fought Back from a Battering
Boeing, H-P—Once Out of Favor—Gained Most During Industrials' 1,000-Point Rise
As the Dow industrials made their push from 14000 to 15000 points, several big winners in the blue-chip index were a battered and bruised bunch.
The Dow's 1,000-point run saw the index rise 7.2% since Feb. 1, when it cut through 14000. Leading the gains among Dow components was Boeing Inc., with a 27% run during that period. Boeing was followed by Hewlett-Packard Co., which gained 24%. Walt Disney Co. tacked on 21% and Microsoft Corp. was up 19%....

This is a tricky one to google because "remote" is overshadowed by remote control apps for things like Nest thermostats.
My problem is this: the builders of my house wired the thermostat for the upstairs zone at the top of the stairs where the heat from the downstairs rises up and tricks it into thinking the whole zone is warm. Moving the wires into the only bedroom upstairs, where the thermostat should have been all along, is cost prohibitive.
Is there a way to replace the old-fashioned wired thermostat with a digital wired thermostat that can be wirelessly controlled by a remote temperature sensor in the bedroom? This would allow me to save energy by handling things in a more sensible manner than my current routine of trying to trick the thermostats into doing what I want.
Thanks you for any info on this you can provide.
Views: 2911
Some of the high end Honeywells offer that feature. What you are looking for is a wireless remote sensor. The thermostat will stay in it's current location and the wires sensor will be installed in eh room you wish to monitor.
Look into the Honeywell Redlink thermostats. Equipment module connects to furnace and wireless thermostat can be installed anywhere you like. Spendy, but if it's cheaper than pulling a new wire...
Some thermostats also allow adding multiple sensors and then averaging them. Any sensor you add must come from the maker of the existing thermostat. You generally can not mix sensors.
You may want to look at NEST, I believe they have remotes.
I've not seen them or heard of them, but they could be out there.
I can help you with this...message or email me

Stewart Little, doin' the Dew / SONY
In a lawsuit against PepsiCo, a man claimed he found a mouse in a can of Mountain Dew. The Atlantic Wire reported on Pepsi's defense:
Pepsi's lawyers... found experts to testify... that "the mouse would have dissolved in the soda had it been in the can from the time of its bottling until the day the plaintiff drank it," according to the Record. (It would have become a "jelly-like substance," according to Pepsi, adds LegalNewsline.)
Typically, it's Marketing which asks Legal to approve edgy communications. They would have been well served to do the reverse in this case.
That said, PepsiCo is quite lucky that this case is for Mountain Dew and not for some other beverage, say Lipton Brisk, or Diet Pepsi.
Smokers don't smoke for health benefits, and neither do drinkers of Mountain Dew. Dew drinkers already know that it's bad for them and, as such, this PR "problem" is unlikely to change the long term behavior of current drinkers.
The Mountain Dew brand has spent the last couple of decades attaching itself to action sports and all things "x-treme." And action sports athletes are always trying to do tricks that are new and more creative--things which are usually more dangerous.
Mountain Dew's ability to dissolve a living creature might ultimately be additive to its brand. Teens may view it as a valuable feature of the soda as they jockey, on the halfpipe, for status and manhood.

WORCESTER — Roberta I. Blute of Shrewsbury, a former state Senate candidate and wife of onetime Republican U.S. Rep. Peter I. Blute, pleaded not guilty Thursday in U.S. District Court to two counts of filing false federal tax returns.
The grand jury indictment, unsealed today, charges Mrs. Blute, 55, a longtime health care executive, with not reporting more than $500,000 in income from various health care industry jobs in 2007 and 2008.
Mrs. Blute, known as Robi, was led into federal court by U.S. marshals Thursday. Her hands were in handcuffs behind her back. She had been arrested earlier after turning herself in to U.S. marshals.
Following a 30-minute hearing before Magistrate Judge David H. Hennessey, Mrs. Blute was released on personal recognizance with the condition that she report to court officials if she travels out of state, which she said she does routinely for work and family reasons.
She was also ordered to surrender her passport and not drink excessive amounts of alcohol.
Mrs. Blute and her lawyer, Ben Clements of Boston, declined to comment after the hearing.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda P. Strachan said Mrs. Blute faces, if convicted, a maximum sentence of 3 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and a year of supervised release.
She would also be required to pay the back taxes she is charged with evading by failing to report the income.
The first count of the indictment charges Mrs. Blute with reporting on her 2007 federal tax return total income of $79,289 from Credit Bureau Collection Services, but not reporting at least $88,517 from Kindred Healthcare; $75,864 from Principal Healthcare Inc./Focus Care Inc.; $11,836 from entities associated with CCS Companies and $21,600 from Case Management Associates.
The second count charges her with reporting on her 2008 federal return $60,884 from CBCS, but failing to report $84,735 from Kindred Healthcare; $47,689 from Hospital Corp. of America Management Services, LP; $57,300; and $33,500 from Peak Health Consultants Inc., and $4,384 from CCS.
A colorful figure known for her sometimes blunt public comments, Mrs. Blute lost her 2004 state Senate race to former state Sen. Edward M. Augustus, a Worcester Democrat.
She hotly defended her husband after he lost his job as executive director of the Massachusetts Port Authority after a "booze cruise" in Boston Harbor in 1999.
Mr. Blute served two terms in Congress, from 1993 to 1997, losing a 1996 re-election effort to U.S. Rep. James P. McGovern, D-Worcester. Mr. Blute was later a Worcester radio talk show host and in 2011 served as deputy chairman of the Massachusetts Republican Party.

It is very enthusiastic clapping and whooping, which naturally comes to an end, audience noise continues for a few seconds longer, as they are readying to leave. This produces an extremely natural sounding end to the applause, and provides some audience ambient noise for after the applause has finished.
