Bread Snails
Baking with the Bread Baking Babes is a virtual globe-trotting tour. This month, our kitchen hostess, Karen of Bake My Day, took us to Spain to try Ensaïmadas. These delightful rolls were soft, pillowy, and delicious. They're supposed to be rolled up into snail shapes. Mine were slacker underachievers and relaxed into semi-croissants, but that didn't stop my family from yumming them all up.
I made two variations. The original recipe called for soft pork lard. That's not something I have lying around my larder (ha, little joke there), but I do have butter and I do have bacon grease. My family was hard pressed to say which they preferred. My daughter opined that the bacon grease rolls would be even more amazing with bits of cooked bacon and chopped onion rolled up in it.
If you'd like to bake along with us and be a Baking Buddy, you have till the 25th to get a post up and send a link to Karen. Check out what the other Babes have done with this challenge! (the addresses are in the sidebar)
Thanks, Karen, for this delightful taste of Spain!
- from Delicious Days
Active time: about 45 minutes, rising: several hours, baking: about 15 minutes
Ingredients (yields about 10 Ensaimadas):
500g all-purpose flour (plus additional as needed )
75g sugar
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
40g fresh yeast (= 1 cube)
200-250ml lukewarm milk
2 eggs (M)
2 tbsp olive oil
150g soft pork lard, bacon grease, or softened butter
powdered sugar for dusting
Add the flour together with sugar and salt into a large bowl (I used my KitchenAid bowl) and mix well. Make a hollow in the center, add the crumbled yeast as well as a decent pinch of sugar and pour over just enough of the lukewarm milk until the yeast is covered. Stir the yeast milk once or twice, then cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let rest for about 15 minutes or until the surface of the yeast milk looks bubbly.
Add the other ingredients (the remaining milk, eggs,olive oil ) and knead well, either by hand or with your kitchen machine until the dough comes together nicely. I used less milk in the beginning (200 or 220 ml, while the original recipe suggests 250 ml) and my dough still turned out pretty sticky, I therefor added a tad more flour and let it knead at medium speed for 3 minutes (just for the record: my dough still felt really sticky). Let the covered bowl rest again in a warm place for at least 30 minutes or until the dough has doubled. (It took a long time for my dough to rise. Chilly kitchen, maybe.)
Punch it down softly, then flip the dough onto a well-floured surface and sprinkle with flour. Cut into about 10 equally sized portions and form into neat little balls, before letting them rest – sprinkled with flour, covered with a kitchen towel – once more for at least 30 minutes.
Shaping the Ensaimadas: Flatten one doughball, then roll out with a rolling pin (use flour as needed) until you get a pretty thin dough circle and brush it generously with the softened pork lard (or bacon grease or softened butter). Roll up cautiously, then let rest for a couple of minutes and continue with the other dough balls. (Meanwhile line the baking sheets with either parchment paper or silicone mats.)
Coil up each dough piece until it resembles the house of a snail (tuck the outer end under), ideally very loosely, because any spaces will fill up as the dough rises further. Place about five Ensaimadas on one baking sheet, making sure to leave enough space between them. Lightly brush with lard and cover up again.
The final rise is supposed to last overnight, yet I baked mine in three different batches (with rising times of 1 hour, 4 hours, 13 hours) and we preferred their look and taste with shorther rising times (1 and 4 hours). But do as you like.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (~390° Fahrenheit) and bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Take out and let them cool down on a wire rack for a couple of minutes, then generously dust with powdered sugar ( leave the bacon grease ones plain) and enjoy while still warm. Greasy fingers included!

To echo everyone else... your daughter might have an idea there! I like the idea of making these savory, although the "pillowy" texture is calling to me as a sweet treat as well!

Hubby was just talking about something like this least night and how much he liked them. I am going to give it a try - I think I might even make the 25th deadline this time!

Oh how delicious do they look!I imagine I would have them slowly unravelled, dipped in cream cheese or jam. or both. mmmmm

What charming rolls! The timing is perfect since baby snails are showing up in my garden, all set to become big enough to eat all the seedlings...Mother Nature has it all figured out. Does the dough stay sticky on these through the shaping process?

They look very soft and billowy.
Now, why don't you have some 'pig lard' hanging around?
That pig lard has really gone out of fashion, thanks to the American Heart Association!
UK recipes for steamed puddings and pastry crust are big on using suet. I had never heard or used it before I came here.(it is from beef or sheep fat, usually from around the kidneys or loins of the animal.) There is a vegetable suet alternative, but the regular suet is normally used.
I don't have anything else to say about suet. I was sure you would want to increase your 'fats of the world' knowledge!
I think a little surprise of bacon and some onion in the middle sounds an excellent idea. Good thinking Serena!

As I wander from Babe kitchen to Babe kitchen, I can't get over how beautiful these rolls are.

While I filled mine with whipped cream, I must say the prospect of crispy bits of bacon and onion and maybe some crispy caramelized onion bits on top is calling to me even more! Good idea!

bacon and bacon grease.....oh my. i must make these again!

Just when I think I'm good with these and know where I go with them next ... you come along with bacon grease! Yes, I must do these again.
What a group this is and what wonderful buddies come along.

There's something about rolled dough that's so irresistible to me! Your daughters idea sounds brilliant.

Your ensaimadas look really good. In Spain, though usually eaten as a sweet thing, you can also find them filled with Sobrasada (a kind of chorizo paste)specially in in Mallorca (where both products are originally from). Therefore I supose the bacon ones can be also good. The regular ones are plain or filled with angel's hair, cream...

text: In 1995, Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade published a 350-page report on overseas Chinese business networks, calling them 'one of the main forces driving the dynamic growth that characterises the region'. This interest reflected the economic clout of the then 50-odd million diaspora Chinese — living mostly in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia. In the early 1990s, this diaspora was described as rivalling Japan as a business influence across Asia, with a collective wealth comparable to China's GDP.

The rising level of market volatility as 2011 comes to a close seems to be bringing with it a return of doubts about "buy and hold" investing that became a fixture of investment debate in the market crash of 2008.
In a letter to clients released Monday, Hussman Funds manager John Hussman opined that what he described as a "near 100%" chance of recession combined with rich market valuations suggested investors would be prudent to sell risky assets now to beat the rush. Investors committed to a buy-and-hold should do so only after making "a conscious and deliberate" choice, he warned.
Billionaire Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, put it less delicately in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in September, when he said "buy and hold is a crock of s***." Cuban was rebuked by no less a personage than John Bogle, known as the father of index funds, who told The Journal that investors, collectively, are inherently buy and hold creatures: "For instance, if I sell my shares of Microsoft (although I've never owned it) and you buy them, the world is unchanged."
But even Bogle delimited the principle of buy and hold, explicitly rejecting the stocks-only approach with which the strategy is best known: "But what do you mean by buy and hold? Do you mean buy and hold stocks? I would say don't do that. I would say buy and hold stocks but buy and hold some bonds as well. Call it having a bit of dry powder to protect you from your own emotions."
Other investment professionals are chipping away at buy-and-hold investing from other perspectives. Kristof Bulkai, manager of the Thames River Global Emerging Markets Absolute Return Fund, writes in Monday's Daily Telegraph that buy and hold is a losing strategy for commodities investors:
"Commodities do not produce income, they cost money to store, and when the price is high enough, invite substitutes to take their place. For these reasons, 'buy and hold investors' in most commodities do not make money over the long run, and the inflation-adjusted return of most commodities is in fact negative over the past century."
AdvisorOne blogger Bob Clark makes a similar point in the current issue of Investment Advisor, calling commodities "volatile, market-trend investments that aren't particularly well-suited to a buy-and-hold strategy."
Notwithstanding the notion of excluding commodities or adding bonds within buy-and-hold portfolios, the key argument against buy-and-hold investing in recent years has been the observation that the 2000s were a "lost decade" for stocks, where investors literally ended up with less than they started at decade's end. Indeed, an analysis by CXO Advisory showed that flipping a coin to make investment selections beat the buy-and-hold strategy by 29% on a cumulative return basis over the decade of the 2000s.
An article in Forbes published last week, part of a series vigorously defending the buy-and-hold principle, notes how markets that were down on average by 5.5% after a volatile and gloomy news driven September ended spectacularly up by the end of October, a month that is historically volatile and negative. Writes Forbes' contributor Ellen Dorle:
"As a small example of why you can't time the market, think about how you would feel if you took the word of the prognosticators that your loss in September was certain to snowball because October is more often than not, a down month."
Yet, a recent study, by Mebane Faber of Cambria Investment Management, strenuously objects to the idea that timing the market risks missing the proverbial 10 best days, when owners of stocks earn their reward for staying invested. Rather, Faber's research leads him to recommend that "investors attempt to avoid declining markets where most of the volatility lies."
He concludes that "market timing and risk management is indeed possible, and beneficial to the investor." To be sure, the debate over just how active an investor should be in monitoring and trading markets versus a principled and passive buy-and-hold approach will carry on indefinitely. But today's whipsawing markets ensures that many alert investors today just aren't buying it, while others are holding firmly to their principles."

A refabrication of this famously broken Craig Kauffman work will make its debut in the Ahmanson Building on Thursday. We asked contemporary curator Howard Fox to write about the original, the new version, and the curatorial issues they inspire.
LACMA is about to re-acquire a signature work by a major artist associated with the SoCal Light and Space movement of the 1960s and '70s: Craig Kauffman's 1967 Untitled Wall Relief, one of his best-known and widely illustrated works, made of spray-painted acrylic lacquer on vacuum-formed Plexiglas. Re-acquire? How can that be?
Longtime visitors to LACMA may be well-acquainted with the sleek, capsule-like, wall-bound object acquired as a gift of the Kleiner Foundation in 1973. Turgid and puffy, the plastic body of the work was spray-painted on its interior in a pinky-magenta color reminiscent of grape-flavored bubblegum or some exotic shade of nail polish and sported a tumescent banana-yellow streak bulging horizontally across its center. In his groundbreaking study of California art, Sunshine Muse: Art on the West Coast, 1945-1970, first published in 1974, the artist/critic Peter Plagens celebrated Kaufman's elegant yet audacious Plexiglas paintings, vaunting their "verily immoral color combinations (magenta/yellow, orange/blue)" and lauding them as "unashamedly perfumy objet[s] d'art." LACMA's wall relief—surely the piece Plagens had in mind when he invoked "magenta/yellow"—is arguably a signature work for this artist.
Untitled Wall Relief was exhibited many times in LACMA's permanent collection and was featured in numerous important exhibitions, including LACMA's 1981 survey Art in Los Angeles: Seventeen Artists in the Sixties; LACMA's 2000 extravaganza, Made in California: Art, Image, and Identity, 1900-2000; a Kauffman survey in La Jolla; and in other exhibitions in San Francisco, San Antonio, and Ft. Worth; and was last seen in Paris in the 2006 exhibition Los Angeles 1955–1985: Birth of an Artistic Capital at the Centre Pompidou.
There, a museum worker walked into the Level 6 special exhibition galleries one day to discover the work lying on the floor, severely—fatally—damaged. Sections at the edge had broken off in the fall leaving gaps as obvious as missing teeth, and though the rest of the object remained intact, it suffered multiple fractures and one out-and-out break as significant as the San Andreas Fault. The pristine sleekness of the piece—its very aesthetic integrity—was in ruin. To this day, nobody who investigated the unfortunate incident knows for sure how it occurred. And, except in forensic inquiry, how it happened really doesn't matter. The work was lost. In the aftermath, LACMA, the Centre Pompidou, and the artist agreed that it was appropriate to attempt to re-fabricate the work under the artist's supervision in Los Angeles. The Centre Pompidou worked directly with Kauffman to cover the costs of shipping and re-fabrication, while the Pompidou's insurance paid LACMA the then-current market value of the work; the artist has graciously agreed to LACMA's use of that sum to purchase the 2008 re-fabrication of Untitled Wall Relief.
To anyone familiar with the 1967 original, there is no question that this is its twin. And yet, there are significant differences. The coloration of the original was slightly more candy-like and goofy—what Plagens called "immoral" and "perfumy"—while this new incarnation is somewhat more ruby-tinted, like port wine, and its yellow is slightly more egg-yolky. Yet it is a vital piece in its own right, with all the edginess and spunk of the original. Purists and some aestheticians might question the notion of this new work's authenticity, denouncing it as an "impostor" or a surrogate put forth in lieu of its lost forebear. Indeed, this wall relief of 2008 is a separate object; but it has the same artistic DNA: Kaufman himself cast the new work directly from the carcass of the original, and he mixed the colors himself. The re-fabrication was executed completely under Kauffman's control, and he was satisfied with the result. The interests and hopes of both the artist and LACMA's contemporary curators—to recover a lost work of art—were congruent. The artist's satisfaction with the result informed LACMA's curatorial thinking as well.
We may question how relevant elusive notions of authenticity are in this case. Since the 1960s, many artists working in such directions as minimalism, conceptual art, and new media have created artworks that are replicable without limit. Carl Andre arranges industrially manufactured copper and lead panels in checkerboard patterns on the floor but is not responsible for any other physical or formal aspect of his sculptures; Sol LeWitt's wall drawings are formulated by written instructions conceived by the artist but executed by someone else; Lynn Hershman makes interactive works that exist only in cyberspace and are equally "authentic" when viewed or manipulated on anybody's computer. In all these instances, the mythic hand of the artist—the inspired vision and unique virtuoso "touch" of the creative genius—are simply not a factor or an issue in the aesthetics of the art.
Similarly, Craig Kauffman's Untitled Wall Relief, while unquestionably the creation of the artist's aesthetic choices and sensibility, is fabricated by vacuum-formation, a mechanical process to shape plastic sheeting on a mold through the application of heat, pressure, and vacuum action. There are various technologies, some obsolete, to vacuform plastic and to spray-paint its colors, but they are industrial technologies, not ones associated with traditional ateliers. Kauffman's 2008 wall relief is of course not the selfsame object as the 1967 original. Yet the new work is not necessarily to be regarded as less authentically a creation of Kauffman any more than photographic prints made from a master negative and printed long after the original picture has been taken are any less "authentic" than earlier prints—even if there are discernible differences among them and though vintage prints command a higher market value—as long as they are authorized by the photographer. Assertions about the sanctity of an initial iteration of a work can be misguided; in cases where the fabrication is largely mechanical and the artist has assented to the result, common sense should avoid "fetishizing" the original.
LACMA owns two other Plexiglas paintings by Craig Kauffman and many works on paper. With the mishap of the irreparable damage to Untitled Wall Relief of 1967, LACMA lost a significant work from its internationally respected collection of Southern California art. The work's re-embodiment in this new object brings its history full circle and enables the work to remain represented in the collection.

Summer is almost at the door and the days are…
Our Blogger: Rhodora
Polenta is loved by everybody…this dish has on the table of Italian families for generations!!
Polenta is a corn meal mush, but is more than that! It's the staple food of the North of Italy, where after pasta, is one of the favourite dishes. It can be served in innumerable ways: as a first course, baked, with stews, or even as a bread substitute.
For citizens of Rocca di Papa , a small village near Rome, Polenta is too a unique and complete food, it is added to the usual simple condiments (with tomato sauce, sausages, meat, cheese etc), the condiments that the old farmers use to this day to create to create dishes that satisfied the gourmets.
And it is in Rocca di Papa for the second year that will be a special gastronomic event in occasion of Valentine's Day: "La Polenta degli Innamorati" ( The polenta of Lovers). The event will be surrounded by so many moments of entertainment with music and with "Il bacio più lungo" (The longest kiss), all the couples attending this event are invited, it consists in a kiss of mass to enter on the Guinness world record as the major kiss of mass ever!
La Polenta degli Innnamorati will be held on the occasion of Valentine's Day, Frebruary 14 and February 15 at the center of Rocca di Papa, one of the many little towns that can be explored from Rome using as a base a well-located hotel like Hotel Des Artistes or Yes Hotel.

Sorry, there are no cars that match your search
The elder statesman of the Mazda CX range is a bit like a Swiss Army knife: capable of a variety of jobs well beyond the expected blade. A mid-life nip-and-tuck has improved on CX-9's distinctive looks without losing any of the utility that has made the seven-seater a popular, if niche, choice in the large SUV market.
Mazda loads up the CX-9 when it comes to look and specification and the updated vehicle only has fairly minor price rises. All models have Bluetooth, USB and auxiliary inputs, a reversing camera, three-zone airconditioning, auto headlamps and wipers and a 3.7-litre V6 matched to a six-speed auto.
The front-wheel drive Classic starts at $44,525, climbing to $52,980 for the Luxury model. The all-wheel drive Luxury is $57,480, with the Grand Touring $63,828. That's around $5000 more than a Ford Territory (though without AWD) and just under the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The sound and satnav systems have been upgraded to match the newer entrants in this class. There's now Bluetooth with audio streaming and the speech recognition system has been updated to provide audio and navigation interaction.
The TomTom satnav can be updated using CD cards and is straightforward to operate. The Grand Touring model now picks up bi-xenon headlamps, daytime running lights and a remote operated power tailgate.
Kodo is the key word at Mazda for the corporate look and the CX-9s new grille follows the CX-5 and Mazda6 styling. Remodelled front and rear bumpers and lights to match make it reasonably easy to pick from the outgoing version. Inside there's a piano black finish around the instruments and Bordeaux-coloured metal strips run down either side of the centre console.
The second row seating can be adjusted 120mm depending on the size of the occupants and adults will cope with short-ish trips in the pair of the third row seats. Boot space is marginal with seven on board but expands dramatically up to 1911 litres when there's only two on board.
The CX-9 hasn't hit the wall loaded with ANCAP sensors but the US version rates as a five-star car. There are six airbags to protect occupants in all seats, the full suite of safety software and the likes of lane-departure warning, blind spot monitoring and forward collision warning systems.
Big but light on its feet, the CX-9 is analogous with a rugby forward. There's enough sheet metal to bestow an imposing look on the road but that's not the impression from behind the wheel, where the lightly weighted steering adds to the impression of agility.
Rapid changes of direction, especially on gravel, remind the driver this is a big bus. It's more inertia than body roll, though, so the passengers won't feel nauseous even at a brisk pace on back roads. Noise suppression is first rate and there is little evidence the Mazda is essentially a seven-year-old car.
The V6 engine has enough urge to propel the CX-9 at a solid pace, either off the line or during overtaking and the wide seats hang on as well as the car does. In most cases, the front-wheel drive model will do most people and impresses enough that there would want to be long stretches of dirt ahead to consider paying the premium for AWD.
Stylish and people mover are contradictory terms. The CX-9 does a commendable job of juxtaposing them and is one of the more luxurious large vehicles this side of a European badge.

Observint acquires Infinias
Three months after helping LG Electronics relaunch its security products in the U.S., Observint Technologies announced today that it's acquired access control provider Infinias.
Owned by The Carlyle Group, Observint Technologies was formed in 2006 with the goal of acquiring security-focused companies. Observint acquired Supercircuits in 2006. It subsequently bought Security Cameras Direct, DIGIOP and SC Technologies.
I spoke with Observint's George Farley in July about the LG buy and he said at the time that Observint may be expanding beyond video. I have a call into Observint and will hopefully talk to Farley about the Infinias deal.
In a prepared statement, Infinias' president and CTO Wayne Jared said the company will "benefit from access to Observint's vast resources" and that it will expand into more vertical markets. It's products will be "integrate with Observint's ... video and audio surveillance solutions," according to the statement.
Infinias will continue to do product development, sales and support from its Indianapolis headquarters, while Observint will take over marketing and finance duties at its Austin, Texas headquarters.
Infinias' manufactures IP-based access control systems for the commercial security market. Its Intelli-M product line includes "Ethernet-enabled integrated door controller, one of the first PoE door controllers introduced to the security market, and the Intelli-M Access browser-based management application."

futures/reserve contracts
The close of the 2014 NFL season for the San Diego Chargers was pretty dismal. The team finished 9-7 behind the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. The Bolts were 18th in total offense, 10th in passing, a lowly 30th in rushing and 29th in special teams. The signings of free agent wide receivers Jacoby Jones and Stevie Johnson should go a long way toward bumping up some of those rankings.
Offensive coordinator (OC) Frank Reich and wide receivers coach Fred Graves currently have at least four players to devise schemes around in 2015. Reich is entering his second year as OC while Graves is on his third with the wideouts.
Here is a look at who the receivers are to date:
Malcom Floyd: 6'5″, 225 pounds
This will be Floyd's 11th year. After a season-ending neck injury in game three of 2013, the 34-year-old veteran receiver came back in 2014. He played all 16 games last year and he recorded 52 catches for 856 yards and six touchdowns.
Keenan Allen: 6'2″, 211 pounds
The 22-year-old was constantly covered after proving himself to be a viable threat in his rookie year. Prior to missing the last two games of 2014 due to a broken collarbone (game 15 vs Denver Broncos), he had 783 yards on 77 receptions with four touchdowns.
Stevie Johnson: 6'2″, 207 pounds
This may be one of the free agent pickups that really has quarterback Philip Rivers smiling. Johnson's presence gives Rivers another seasoned option at wideout. He played 13 games in San Francisco last year with 35 receptions for 435 yards with three touchdowns. Career numbers for Johnson include 89 games played, 336 catches, 4,267 yards, and 31 touchdowns.
Jacoby Jones: 6'2″, 215 pounds
Jones was most recently a Baltimore Raven. With the special teams unit finishing 29th in the league last year, this signing should prove to be a boon for San Diego. Jones can be a kick returner (165 returns, 4,527 yards, and 5 touchdowns), a punt returner (265 returns for 2,673 yards, four TD's) and a receiver (203 balls for 2,733 yards with 14 touchdowns).
Dontrelle Inman: 6'3″, 205 pounds
Previously a Canadian Football League player, the 26-year-old Inman made San Diego's roster last August. He caught the ball 12 times for 158 yards in two games played. He spent the majority of the season on the team's inactive list.
Austin Pettis: 6'3″, 203 pounds
Pettis has played in 47 games. As a receiver, he has racked up 1,034 receiving yards on 107 catches with five touchdowns during his career with the Rams. Additionally, he has nine kick returns for 75 yards, with 29 punt returns totaling 254 yards.
Although there could be changes among the receiving corps prior to the beginning of the 2015 season, this is how it is shaping up as of now. Perhaps Chargers General Manager Tom Telesco will add another receiver via free agency or the draft. Fans will not have to wait long as free agency is well under way and the draft is right around the corner.
What are your thoughts regarding the wide receiver position moving forward? Please let me know by commenting below.

Vladimir Putin Warns Of Chaos After Syria Strike
By Bill Strange
April 16, 2018
Russian President Vladimir Putin says there will be global chaos if there are continued U.S. strikes in Syria. In a statement, the Kremlin said Putin and Iran's president discussed the air strikes, calling them "illegitimate" and a violation of the United Nations charter. Putin also noted that if these types of military actions continue, they will lead to chaos in international relations.
The U.S., Britain and France targeted Syria's chemical weapons facilities after a chemical weapons attack earlier this month.

Story highlights
- Jacob Ostreicher has been in prison since June 2011
- He has not been formally charged
- Family is suspicious of reasons behind his arrest
- Lawyer criticizes the Bolivian justice system
An American man, jailed without formal charges in Bolivia for 11 months, is nearing one month on a hunger strike to call attention to his case.
Jacob Ostreicher, 53, became ensnared in a criminal investigation linked to drug money and was arrested in June of last year on a preliminary charge of money laundering.
But his wife and lawyer say they have proven that the source of all the money is legitimate, and wonder if other forces are keeping Ostreicher, a businessman from Brooklyn, locked up.
Since his arrest, at least 15 hearings have been scheduled, but only three have actually taken place.
After hearing the defense team during one of those sessions last year, a judge ordered Ostreicher released on bond. His family paid, but before Ostreicher left the grounds of the notorious Palmasola prison in Santa Cruz, the judge unexpectedly rescinded his own decision.
A new judge was assigned recently, but the case has not moved forward in months.
The Bolivian prosecutors in the case were not available for comment.
In mid-April, Ostreicher began a hunger strike, hoping to kickstart the justice system in Bolivia as well as to rally support back home. Supporters in New York held a demonstration for Ostreicher in front of the Bolivian Mission there this month.
The back story of his arrest is complex. It starts with an investment that Ostreicher, an Orthodox Jew and flooring contractor, made in 2008 in a rice operation in Santa Cruz. A group of investors saw opportunity in growing rice, and though Ostreicher didn't put down a lot of money, he began traveling to Bolivia to look after the project, his supporters say.
Ostreicher told CNN in a telephone interview from prison last year that what he found in Bolivia was that the investors had been swindled by the woman who they hired to run the project, who had ties with a Brazilian drug trafficker. Ostreicher fired the woman and tried to set things straight, but the ownership of the land was tied to the drug trade and he found himself a suspect.
Ostreicher's detention comes at a low point in U.S.-Bolivian relations. Under leftist President Evo Morales, the U.S. ambassador to Bolivia was expelled in 2008 in a diplomatic row.
His supporters are suspicious that the judge who reversed his decision on his release was subsequently promoted. But no corruption has been proven.
Yimy Montano, Ostreicher's Bolivian attorney, said that the real problem may not be a conspiracy against him, but the result of an ailing justice system under Morales.
"The justice system is passing through one of its worst moments, and Mr. Jacob is suffering the fallout of that," he said.
Many Bolivians face the same kind of maddening delays, he said.
Still, Montano said, the court's decision to keep Ostreicher jailed is confounding.
At the most substantive of the hearings, the defense presented more than 1,000 translated documents that showed the source of all of Ostreicher's investment and proved it came from legitimate sources, Montano said.
"Penny by penny, we've shown that every cent came into the country legally," he said.
Prosecutors told CNN in September that they are suspicious of Ostreicher because of the lengths he went through to try to recoup the investors' losses and his continued negotiations with the landowner.
But prosecutors have not presented any evidence to back up their claims, Montano said.
"I don't know why he remains in prison," he said.
Under Bolivian law, a suspect can be held on preliminary charges for 18 months, at which time the state has to file formal charges or dismiss them.
"We're just in limbo. As far as I'm concerned, Jacob has been kidnapped," said his wife, Miriam Ungar. "There's no end to this."
Ungar and Montano said that Ostreicher's condition has deteriorated since he began his hunger strike.
"He's not doing well," she said.
Ungar shared her story with CNN and others in September of last year, and said she faces legal action by the state because of her comments.
Court documents show that the state ordered a prosecutor to begin an investigation into obstruction of justice by Ungar, her lawyers, Ostreicher and others who spoke to the media.
"It's in the back of my mind. I am afraid of it," she said of the possibility of facing charges herself.
All this happened right before the hearing where the judge ordered Ostreicher released before changing his mind.
Montano said that at this point, he wants Ostreicher to go to trial.
"We want him to be absolved," he said.
In the meantime, despite his delicate health, Ostreicher is refusing to end his hunger strike.
"It's the only way to be heard," Montano said.

Unlike my skincare routine that stays pretty consistent overall, my makeup choices change pretty often so I like to keep you guys updated on what I'm slathering on my face! Based on my statistics this seems to be one of the most (if not THE most) well received topic on the blog. So I'm giving you guys what you want, let's jump into it!
+ RMK makeup base
Hands down the best primer I've tried in my life ಥಒ್ಲಥ If you're as into the hydrated, glowy look as I am than you need to AT LEAST try this guy out. Not to be confused with the Western ideal of "glow" which is more of a sparkling, powdery, highlight glow (such as the Becca backlight priming filter). This gives a true hydrated and moist finish. RMK is a Japanese brand and to be honest I haven't dabbled into a lot of J-cosmetics aside from like Dolly Wink and Canmake ha~ but this has blown me away. I really want to try their liquid foundation once I've gone through all the ones I currently own. So yeah, probably next year!
+ KLAIRS illuminating supple blemish cream
I really enjoy how light this bb cream is! It doesn't feel heavy at all and it leaves my face looking healthy and bright. That being said there is only 1 shade available and it best fits beige skintones. If you are on the more pale side or darker than a light tan this will not look natural. It has light coverage that is somewhat buildable but if you're looking to cover acne scarring or pits I would put my money towards a product that will help with those needs, this ain't it.
+ TATCHA the pearl tinted eye illuminating treatment < moonlight >
Well look who decided to stick around, this baby isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Like I stated in my previous routine, this has been the only product that has helped in brightening my under eye. For my everyday look no concealer is needed after applying this. It's marketed as "skincare makeup" but I personally wouldn't recommend using this as an eye cream •᷄⌓•᷅
+ KLAIRS creamy & natural fit concealer
This concealer works very well with it's bb cream counterpart. Again it only comes in 1 shade but it's the perfect shade and consistency for the illuminating bb cream. Overall I like it, it does what it needs to do and it's affordable. That being said I still think The Saem tip concealer is the best concealer in the world and I will continuously repurchase it. I just really wanted to try this one and I will definitely finish it up!
+ 3CE overtake
Probably the most sought-after A/W palette in the K-Beauty world I can think of. I mean honestly the whole Mood Recipe line gives me life! ٩(*´◒`*)۶♡ I had to play around with it a little bit to figure out what would work for me. From what I've gathered I'm neutral toned and can do a little bit of both sides but not EVERYTHING in cool/warm tones will be forgiving on me. This is more on the warm side so some combinations are tragic but this particular combo has been my go to lately.
+ ETUDE HOUSE bk806 sunflower seed < nuts&fruits collection >
As soon as I saw this I HAD TO HAVE IT. Yo, I am a literal squirrel with glitter-type shadows. It looks really good by itself but also layered on top of any other shadows. For this particular look I place it into the inner-corners for a little sparkle.
+ ESTEE LAUDER sumptuous extreme primer & mascara
These days I'm not a huge fan of two-step mascara BUT it can't be helped. The results are worth the extra few seconds. These little guys elongate and add volume to my lashes with no mess. It's also easy to remove which my eyes are thankful for.
+ JOAH brow down to me < brunette >
I'll be honest I was never really into this brand and I'm still not. I don't like the cheap looking packaging and I don't like how they blatantly piggyback off of Korean brands. There's really no need (or want imo) for "Korean inspired brands" when we can just have the real thing. But anyway that's me being a negative nancy. I bought this on a whim because I needed an inexpensive brow product right away, I had just run out of my Etude House drawing eyebrow pen. I decided to give this one a try and I was pleasantly surprised. I probably won't repurchase it if I can get my hands on what I really want which is a brow pen from 3CE. But if I'm in a bind I'll probably go to it again.
+ VELY VELY sculpt line contour duo
This is another product that isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I like to use it on the outside of my face to give it some dimension and on my nose. I don't contour my cheeks because I like them to look full.
+ FRANK BODY illuminator
This is the highlighter for you if you want to add to the hydrated, glowy look. If it ain't broke, don't fix it and that's why this guy made it into this routine again.
+ 3CE rose beige < mood recipe collection >
Basically the only blush you really need ( ͡°⁄ ⁄ ͜⁄ ⁄ʖ⁄ ⁄ ͡°) okay I'm going over my head here but it is a really nice every day blush! It can be used as eyeshadow too, been there. It was a little annoying to purchase because all the 3CE US sellers had the two other shades except this one. Which is the one most people want. So I had to order it from Korea and wait…and wait..and wait till it arrived. Yeah, I have no chill. Help.
+ 3CE #muss < mood recipe collection >
Do you see a pattern here? I swear I'm not promoting I just have a thing with this collection and Muss is the perfect MLBB shade for the season.
+ ETUDE HOUSE honey cera lip oil
Anytime I'm going to wear a matte lip product I always apply a lip oil underneath to prevent dry, cracked looking lips. This one works really well and is affordable. It has no weird scent and it's not sticky.
+ VELY VELY setting fixer
Would you believe me if I told you this makeup setting spray is way better than Urban Decay? Well I probably wouldn't believe me either. I swear it's true though. It has more product in it and about the same price too. I will never go back to Urban Decay after using this one!
Have you tried any of these products before? Let me know in the comments!

Addio al Flash Player con Jelly Bean ed il 15 Agosto Adobe lo eliminerà dal Play Store
Anche questo è un segnale che molto difficilmente ci fa immaginare un cambio di rotta di Adobe. La notizia non è solamente questa; infatti il produttore sul proprio blog ha comunicato che dal prossimo 15 Agosto il Flash Player verrà completamente oscurato dal Play Store non potendo perciò effettuare l'installazione.
Tutti coloro che dotati di un device Android 4.0 o precedenti volessero installare Adobe Flash Player dovranno reperirlo sul sito ufficiale del produttore. Ecco il comunicato ufficiale:
"We announced last November that we are focusing our work with Flash on PC browsing and mobile apps packaged with Adobe AIR, and will be discontinuing our development of the Flash Player for mobile browsers. This post provides an update on what this means for ongoing access to the Flash Player browser plugin for Android in the Google Play Store.
The Flash Player browser plugin integrates tightly with a device's browser and multimedia subsystems (in ways that typical apps do not), and this necessitates integration by our device ecosystem partners. To ensure that the Flash Player provides the best possible experience for users, our partner program requires certification of each Flash Player implementation. Certification includes extensive testing to ensure web content works as expected, and that the Flash Player provides a good user experience. Certified devices typically include the Flash Player pre-loaded at the factory or as part of a system update.
Devices that don't have the Flash Player provided by the manufacturer typically are uncertified, meaning the manufacturer has not completed the certification testing requirements. In many cases users of uncertified devices have been able to download the Flash Player from the Google Play Store, and in most cases it worked. However, with Android 4.1 this is no longer going to be the case, as we have not continued developing and testing Flash Player for this new version of Android and its available browser options. There will be no certified implementations of Flash Player for Android 4.1.
Beginning August 15th we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed. Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15th.
The easiest way to ensure ongoing access to Flash Player on Android 4.0 or earlier devices is to use certified devices and ensure that the Flash Player is either pre-installed by the manufacturer or installed from Google Play Store before August 15th. If a device is upgraded from Android 4.0 to Android 4.1, the current version of Flash Player may exhibit unpredictable behavior, as it is not certified for use with Android 4.1. Future updates to Flash Player will not work. We recommend uninstalling Flash Player on devices which have been upgraded to Android 4.1.
For developers who need ongoing access to released versions of Flash Player for Android, those will remain available in the archive of released Flash Player versions. Installations made from the archive will not receive updates through the Google Play Store.
As always this and other Flash runtime roadmap updates can be found in the Adobe roadmap for the Flash runtimes white paper."

From The Pueblo Chieftain (Chris Woodka):
A move by Front Range water providers to protect fish in the Colorado River will add about $1 million to the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District's 2013 budget.
Finance manager Tina White walked the district's board through the $18 million budget at a public hearing Thursday. The board will vote on adoption of the budget at its December meeting.
Southeastern is joining other water providers to buy the Red Top Ranch near Granby for water rights that will be used to protect endangered fish in the Colorado River. This year, it will cost the district $1.09 million. The district also will spend about $600,000 toward a plan to add hydroelectric generation at Pueblo Dam. Both are multiyear projects that involve other partners, and were financed through reserves.
The district expects to generate $16.2 million in revenues through its general fund and enterprise. The money comes from a 9.35mill property tax over a ninecounty area, enterprise fee collection and grants. Most of the money will go toward repaying federal contracts for the FryingpanArkansas Project to the Bureau of Reclamation — $6.5 million to repay the agricultural share of the project and $5.3 million for the Fountain Valley Conduit (paid only in El Paso County). The municipalindustrial portion of the FryArk Project was paid off first because it carried interest, while the agricultural share does not. About $42.4 million is still owed. The largest operating expenses in the budget are $2.2 million for human resource, personnel and overhead, and $1.2 million for outside services, studies or partnerships.
The budget also includes about $500,000 for continued work on the master lease contract, Arkansas Valley Conduit and outlet interconnection at Pueblo Dam.

From endangered plants and wildlife to wide-open roads, you never know what you'll find in this awesomely uncanny state. And while spontaneity makes for the best kind of adventures, here are a few things that will help prepare you for the most awe-inspiring and unforgettable Nevada experience.
Before you buckle up for an adventure of a lifetime, there's a few on-road and off-road basics you'll need to know, like ensuring there's enough gas in the tank, registering your OHV, fees and other safety equipment needed.Learn More
Much like fuel stations, restrooms and drinking water, access to cell phone service can be a bit scattered in some rural parts of the state. Map out your #NVRoadTrip with gas stations, night stops, and be extra safe by letting someone know where you're venting, plus when you plan to come back.
Pitch a tent, park the RV or spend the night in a yurt—no matter how you choose to discover any of Nevada's 23 state parks here's how you can best prepare yourself for an experience unlike any other.Learn More
While traveling Nevada, you are sure to come across your fair share of wildlife and safety crossings. This information will ensure you are familiar with important safety tips that will keep you and the native wildlife out of harm.Learn More
Before you test the waters and experience one of the Silver State's hottest pastimes, be sure you dip your toes into this hot springing etiquette guide.Learn More
Google is good. Guidebooks are better. But nothing beats having first-hand accounts and stories from real Nevadans about the once-in-a-lifetime, authentic, local experiences worth immersing yourself in while you're here.Learn More
Being a stranger in a strange land can be an exhilarating experience. But it can also come with a wide range of challenges that confront you as soon as you step off the plane. Here are a few basics to know about Nevada and traveling in the United States that will help ensure your adventures are as trouble-free as possible.
Nevada honors licenses and permits issued by the appropriate government agency of foreign countries and an international driver license is not required for foreign visitors. Just make sure you buckle up and stay on the right side of the road.
It's a good idea to exchange some money for U.S. dollars at home before you arrive. But you can always exchange currency at McCarran International Airport as well as many casinos throughout the state. Although, using a credit card for purchases and debit card for cash withdrawal will likely offer the best rates and convenience.
Carry some form of identification with you at all times, since you will need to verify your age (that you're over 21) if you plan on gaming, drinking or entering nightclubs as well as when paying with credit cards or travelers checks. Also, make a copy of your passport to keep with you during the trip in case yours is lost or stolen.
English is the official language of Nevada. Spanish is also widely spoken in Nevada, and like much of the southwest, Nevada is heavily influenced by the language, Hispanic culture, and history under Spanish and Mexican rule. Tagalog is also spoken among Filipino populations.

Mustang MonthlyProject Vehicles
1966 Ford Mustang - Project '66 - V8 Conversion - '65-'66 Six to V-8 Front Suspension Upgrade
Our '66 hardtop goes uptown with a fresh V-8-specific front suspension
Part of any restoration project is replacing worn or unsafe steering and suspension components to ensure a safe, comfortable ride. Either you can go back with stock parts and rubber bushings (if you like your 35-year-old Mustang to feel like a 35-year-old Mustang) or you can upgrade to any of the numerous levels of aftermarket performance suspension kits out there for the vintage Mustangs. The choices run from improved bushing designs to full-on tubular adjustable upper and lower control arms with coilover shock conversions. That's just the bolt-in variety too. If you really want outrageous, then you can weld in a Mustang II-style system with rack-and-pinion steering, but that's more for all-out restomods and engine conversion groupies.
To throw another wrench in the works, we've decided to convert our hardtop to a full and correct (as correct as we can get) V-8 running gear, which will require some extra thought. While items such as springs and tie-rod ends can be easily converted by simply making the correct choices in the parts catalog, other used items such as steering stops, spindles, and power steering centerlinks are all hard to come by.
For our new suspension pieces, we went with the great line of Magna suspension hard parts from Mustangs Plus. These lifetime-warranted parts look OE-correct but are improved in several areas. Most noticeable are the upgrades to urethane bushings and, in most cases, stronger materials. While we were speaking to the suspension pros at Mustangs Plus, they went through several questions to determine what we wanted to do with our hardtop, and what we were expecting from the car's handling. We eventually settled for the Magna 620-pound-rate coil springs-and surrounded them with Magna upper and lower control arms, cad-plated and urethane-bushed spring perches, a 1-inch front sway bar, and MagnaGas shocks. Talk to the experts before you order your suspension pieces and you'll be happy. Though we're saving the rear suspension for another article, we opted for Magna mid-eye 411/42 -leaf rear springs, MagnaGas rear shocks, and a shackle kit with urethane bushings. The entire suspension package should lower the hardtop about 1 inch all around. It's nothing drastic to the eye, but handling will be vastly improved.
With our suspension practically dialed in, we needed to score the remaining items to make our V-8 conversion correct and, more importantly, safe to drive. The V-8 spindles aren't impossible to find, but instead of searching countless salvage yards, we went right to the vintage Mustang used parts masters-Metro Mustang. The able-bodied staff of Metro Mustang sent us the requisite V-8 spindles with drum brakes needed for the swap, and even fulfilled our request for the elusive V-8 with power steering-specific turn stops. Other items the folks at Metro can find in their inventory or on their numerous parts cars include power steering, suspension, and engine components. Why drum brakes you ask? We think that a power-drum setup is a nicer street-braking system than manual discs, but who's not to say that we might upgrade from this to power disc later. It is-after all-a project car, you know.

|Manufacturer / Distributor: Unknown. It's marked "M + R Germany"
I'm still not clear who makes this quality sharpener - if anybody has any idea I'd love to know. Do also let me know if there are any stickists as it's an excellent hand held pencil sharpener
I have problems with using hand held pencil sharpeners because of my tenosynovitis in my sharpening hand and yet I seem to be able to use this one without problems. Maybe because it sharpens well first time?

Something rather remarkable happened to me on Monday. At about 11:30 PST — 8:30-ish London time — I received an email from David Honig, publisher of Palate Press, consisting of three words. "You won" in the subject line, and "congratulations" in the body. I hadn't been able to fly to London where the Louis Roederer International Wine Writing Awards were being presented; the trip would have cost me about fifteen percent of the annual pittance I make as a graduate student, and that clearly wasn't happening. David, who went on behalf of Palate Press's nomination for wine website of the year, offered to accept for me should the necessity arise. I had planned on not winning, partly because I didn't want to get my hopes up, but also partly because I don't see what I do as being that award-winning. So, when David's email arrived, I was truly surprised. It even occurred to me for a moment that it might be a mistake or a joke, but that's not David's style. I've been doing even more than my usually generous amount of smiling ever since.
I'm honored, naturally, and humbled, and astonished, and delighted. But I also feel as though my winning this award says something about the position of wine science writing in the the wine writing world. From my very first article for Palate Press, I've written almost exclusively about wine science: microbiology, flavor chemistry, article critiques, and the like. Doing so, I've always felt like a bit of an outsider in the wine writing world. I can't relate to most other wine writers' experiences about press trips to Portugal or interviewing a great sommelier or trying to tell the story of this beautiful South African Pinotage. Researching an article, for me, doesn't involve tasting and talking; it involves hours of reading scientific journal articles. It's nearly impossible for me to compare my writing to people more in the mainstream; we're talking apples and oranges, in some ways.
Most importantly, it's hard to judge whether what I'm doing is valuable. I can say that I'm one of the few people trying to talk about wine science to the lay-wine enthusiast. I can say that I think doing so is important. But I can't say whether anyone else agrees with me.
The other finalists for Emerging Wine Writer of the Year are all splendid writers — including my Palate Press colleague Evan Dawson — but they all write something closer to the mainstream of wine writing. That I was chosen among them says something about wine science writing as much, and perhaps more, than it does about my own skill. It's a validation, at least by this group of people, that the science of wine is potentially as interesting and important to the wine enthusiast as is the personal narrative of wine, or the economics or architecture or politics of wine, or tasting notes. It's a statement that wine science writing has a place in the greater mission of wine writing. Even if I sometimes feel peripheral, I'm still sitting at the table. It's a good place to be.
Let me have won the Roederer, then, not just for myself, but for the greater cause of wine writing. And, maybe, even for every writer who takes the risk of doing something different because it's what she loves.

Lexington Medical Center Receives Open Heart Surgery Approval
In a decision that will have a tremendous positive impact on the Lexington County community, Lexington Medical Center has received approval from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) to perform open heart surgery and therapeutic cardiac catheterizations. This approval is a significant milestone that will enhance the delivery of health care to the people of the Midlands and save lives.
The ability to provide full cardiovascular care to the people of Lexington County, including open heart surgery, has been a priority of Lexington Medical Center for years. Lexington Medical Center operates the second largest Emergency Department in South Carolina, treating more than 90,000 ER patients each year. In addition, the hospital operates two busy diagnostic catheterization labs. Each year, Lexington Medical Center has to transfer cardiac patients to other hospitals for treatment.
"With this announcement, Lexington Medical Center takes a significant step toward fulfilling our dream of providing comprehensive cardiovascular care to our Lexington County community," said Mike Biediger, Lexington Medical Center President & CEO. "Lifesaving heart care will now be closer to home for the people we serve."
DHEC approved Lexington Medical Center's Certificate of Need request for full cardiovascular care on June 2, 2010. The CON was filed in conjunction with Providence Hospitals. Under the terms of the agreement, Providence Hospitals will de-license one of its open heart surgery suites and Lexington Medical Center will add one open heart surgery suite, in keeping with the state health plan.
"We are so encouraged by the cooperation and support among the hospitals in the Midlands," said Thad Westbrook, chairman of the Lexington Medical Center board of directors. "Together, we've taken important steps toward improving the quality of care within the communities we serve."
Lexington Medical Center already has space in its Surgery Department for an open heart surgery operating room. The hospital expects to begin open heart surgery 9 to 12 months from now.
The need for open heart surgery in Lexington County has never been greater. According to statistics from DHEC and the SC Office of Research and Statistics:
~Cardiovascular disease accounts for 1 out of every 3 deaths in South Carolina.
~More South Carolinians die from cardiovascular disease than die from cancer, pneumonia, the flu and vehicle crashes combined.
~Cardiovascular disease deaths increase with age and South Carolina's population of people over age 60 is increasing.
~Lexington County is one of the fastest growing counties in South Carolina.
~In 2008, 331 Lexington County residents required open heart surgery and 1,153 required angioplasty procedures.

Roughly 425 potentially life-saving defibrillators will soon be installed throughout the Metra rail system, officials said Friday.
Approximately 300 automatic external defibrillators will be on trains. Another 125 will be in Metra facilities and in Metra police vehicles, the agency said.
Chicago is only the second metropolitan area in the nation to bring AEDs to commuter
trains. Boston is the other one.
The action comes after an August 2011 decision by Metra's board. At that time, the cost was estimated at $1.1 million.
Metra is partnering with Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Cardiac Science.

It's here! It is the time of year when I breathe deeper and do my best to relish and revel in every moment of the day. It's when I normally bake my favorite muffins and buy way too many pumpkins. I am a seasonal girl! It is also when we spend time as a family taking long walks around the park and the lake with strollers and our little, red wagon.
We also love to sip and spill some warm apple cider :)
I cannot get enough of fall. The fragrance alone is enough to send me right over the edge!
Nutmeg anyone?
Freshly ground over a cup of hot coffee or a bowl of homemade macaroni and cheese.
It is also "field day" time with my camera.
I want to remember every. single. thing.
I pray that I don't forget.
I want to remember what their tiny fingers look like trying to hold a pumpkin.
And what the back of their sweet, little heads look like riding in the wagon.
The sound of their voices. Their cries. Their laughter.
The way they interact with each other. The giggles. The tears. The wild and the exhausting.
The tug of war, the disagreements, the lessons of learning to prefer one another...
Fall also brings change....
This week starts some difficult changes for our family. I am praying for the ability to walk through it all with a special grace and no matter what, I am reminded today to capture it all....
I want to photograph every season of life.
Happy Sunday to you.
May your day be filled with beautiful moments....
