Let there be light! Norford's vision realized
Jeff Norford, circa 2004
If the Perkins are Ruckersville royalty when it comes to holiday lights, then Jeff Norford is their Charlottesville equivalent: he's a driven man, a man with a vision, a man for whom even 20,000 lights are not enough.
"I've been doing it for 10 years," says Norford, who was inspired to begin lighting his Moore's Creek-area property by his godkids.
"They told me they wanted more lights each year," he explains. "I got carried away."
Last year, "I kind of ran out of power," he says. This year, lack of power won't be a problem, thanks to a standby generator he's ordered. Next year, however, he plans on a more permanent solution to his ever-growing need for juice.
"I need to upgrade my service panel to 300 amps," he says, explaining that his brother, an electrician, comes and approves his display for safety each year.
Norford spares no expense when it comes to creating an over-the-top theme park experience.
"I've spent $2,000 this year alone on materials," he says. That includes candy canes– he gave out 4,000 last year and expects to give out more this year– and a new Santa suit he'll don each night beginning December 1.
In addition to blow-up Santas, reindeer, and snowmen, Norford, who delivers the Hook to newsstands each week, even pays illuminated tribute to this newspaper.
It's all in a season's work for Norford, who says he'll keep making his lights bigger and better in years to come.
"I'm just a big kid," he laughs. "I love Christmas as much as everybody else does."
As of November 20, the lights were already on at 1307 Mountain View Street. Directions from Downtown: Take Monticello Avenue to left on Carlton Avenue. Go one block to right on Monticello Road. Just before Moore's Creek restaurant, turn left on Mountain View Street.

N.C. Wyeth New Perspectives Exhibition at the Somerville Manning Gallery
June 14, 2019 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Somerville Manning Gallery welcomes the opportunity to participate in an area-wide tribute to one of America's greatest illustrators, N.C. Wyeth, from June 14 to August 24, 2019. The Brandywine River Museum of Art will open N.C. Wyeth New Perspectives on June 22, the first N.C. Wyeth retrospective at BRMA since the 70's, examining in depth the entirety of Wyeth's oeuvre and repositioning him within the greater context of early 20th century American visual culture. Somerville Manning Gallery will host a corresponding solo exhibition celebrating the importance of and its history with N.C. Wyeth's paintings, having handled the Wyeth family's work for decades. Many of the paintings on view will come from private collections never seen publicly in the past. While incorporating the best of Wyeth's illustrations, this exhibition will also feature aspects of his art that until now have garnered less attention, such as his landscapes and still life paintings.
Opening reception June 14th, 5:30-7:30pm

Kotaku reader "Michael" was taking a look through the pre-owned section of his local EB Games (read: GameStop) in Australia when he started noticing things weren't quite right.
Lara Croft had a marble dong. Old Snake had become a vet. Hulk Hogan had started attending Hogwarts. So he started looking through the section and found a ton of games with similar chop-jobs applied to their box art.
Now, this could be the work of a serial trader, or even a sneaky member of the public, but this many cases, chopped and shopped so lovingly, with real pictures, glue and everything? It's got to be the store itself. Maybe even "Michael", since some of these photos were taken behind the register.
UPDATE - Looks like "Michael" and some friends were indeed former employees, with the pictures taken around 2009 from their store in the state of South Australia. Which lessens the mystery, perhaps, but not the comedy.
There's some highlights above, but for the full gallery head below.

REASON # 10 – You worry what your family and
friends would think about you if you read or listened
to self-development material.
I was always embarrassed about reading self-development
books on the train into work.
That was until I realised who was still going to be on the
same train in five years time, and I knew it wasn't going to
be me!
I still get raised eyebrows from my family, but I will be
the one who is smiling when I achieve what I know that I can
achieve. Only this evening…my sister laughed out loud when
I told her that my eBook was called "The Science of Success"
But…at least I am doing what I want to do.
I take my personal development seriously.
Others may ridicule you…or laugh behind your back…but
they will be the jealous ones when you reach your dream…
and they are still stuck in never-never land!
So the moral of the story is…
Do what you want to do with your life…and not what others
say you should do.

I love to spend time with my Mother and seeing my friends and relatives lose theirs just makes me appreciate mine all that much more! On this shopping trip, my Mom was trying on clothes and we were laughing and cutting up. I was sitting on the floor outside the door and was chatting with her. As we were heading out, this older lady was coming out a couple doors down and she had tears in her eyes as she said, "I love listening to you two! I don't have anyone to do that with now and I really miss my Mother." OMG! It broke my heart!
OK, so we had a great time today (as we do every time we go somewhere) and you can see our entire fun trip (about 8:30 am until right at 1 pm. LOL!) in my Google+ photos, by clicking the image below.
Seriously, I love the Equal Canister! In addition to it being a better price than Splenda, it takes up so little room in my pantry compared to other items! See:
What can you make with Equal Sucralose? How about this:
Spaghetti Squash-Coconut Custard Pie
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Makes: 8 servings at under 120 calories

November 30, 2007 - The survival horror genre is one of the more popular types of games because of its ability to thrill gamers. Whether the scares are cheap, sudden scares or deeper, psychological terrors, survival horror games keep the player enthralled by the constant sense of dread and danger, the feeling that harm lurks around every corner. While this feeling exists in most games, survival horror games accentuate that feeling, amplifying it with horrific foes, sinister locations, and, most often, a suffocating feeling of helplessness. These are some of the elements that the developers over at EA evidently took into account when they began crafting their upcoming IP, Dead Space, which is a survival horror game set, in the tradition of movies like Alien, aboard a deserted spacecraft.
Dead Space puts you in the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer that specializes in repairing mining ships. The company that he works for, the Concordance Extraction Corporation, one day receives a distress call from a ship. Isaac and a couple of crewmates decide to investigate, and, in the manner of horror movies and games, here is where the terror starts. The crew of the distressed vehicle has apparently been ravaged by an alien race known as the Necromorphs. The aliens all look terrifying, resembling a mangled mash up of humans. In short order, you're separated from your companions, and you must discover what happened to the crew, all while trying to survive the onslaught of murderous Necromorphs.
One twist that the game provides is the role of Isaac. As stated earlier, Isaac is an engineer, not a soldier. He doesn't have any combat training and isn't particularly skilled in the weapons that he is presented. He has access to mining tools that are jury-rigged to be effective combat tools, and often he'll be forced to use objects to batter the aliens with the game's melee system. However, to more efficiently utilize his weaponry, Isaac has to become familiar with the alien's weaknesses, which comes to play in the game's dismemberment system. Each of the different Necromorph species has a specific weak point, which Isaac can obviously exploit. On some creatures, certain appendages are expendable, while on others, the loss of that particular extremity may be crippling or fatal. Some of the Necromorphs can survive without their head, but may be severely handicapped if Isaac can remove the arm. Isaac can use his Plasma Cutter, which will be his main weapon, to sever the different body parts in an attempt to defeat the Necromorphs, but it is in his best interest to find their weak point, as some Necromorphs will continue their assault in a shape that appears all but limbless.
In addition to the Plasma Cutter, Isaac will have a number of other high tech tools to help his survival. Kinesis allows Isaac to pick up and throw different objects for offensive purposes, making it sound similar to the gravity gun in Half-Life 2. The Stasis gun can slow time around a targeted area or object, taking the concept of games like Max Payne and Timeshift and focusing it further, since the untargeted areas and enemies will all proceed at normal speeds.
One of Dead Space's most unique features is its zero-gravity segments. During certain parts of the game, Isaac will have to apparently step outside of the ship, anchored to the hull only by his gravity boots. These areas increase the tension incredibly, since Isaac not only has to worry about the Necromorphs, he now has to be careful of his every step or he might find himself floating off into space.
The visuals in Dead Space are looking incredible so far. Isaac resembles a cross between Master Chief and a Big Daddy, wearing a space suit that looks a little like segmented armor. We have yet to see Isaac's face too, as all the released screenshots have him wearing a visored helmet. The Necromorphs are all terrifying, with mutated bodies comprised of human body parts and organs, and their skins seeming to have a pinkish, exposed look. We can definitely expect this game to be bloody, so the faint of heart need not apply.
Dead Space is looking like a game that we might want to keep our eyes open for. The survival horror genre has been relatively quiet of late, with most gamers waiting for the next iterations of Silent Hill and Resident Evil. Dead Space definitely looks like an interesting premise, and early screenshots show environs and enemies that are more than suitably scary. If all goes according to plan, we should be getting our Necromorph scares out around the end of 2008.

April 10, 2008
La Jolla, CA – Come summer, we will once again marvel at the amazing athletic skills of Olympic athletes while in fact, the simple act of walking is no less remarkable. Just to prevent us from toppling over, the neuromuscular circuitry that controls all bodily movements relies on constant sensory feedback from the periphery to fine-tune its commands to hundreds of muscles.
But it still remains unclear, how during embryonic development, sensory and motor neurons become incorporated into tightly coordinated pathways without getting mixed up. In a study, published in the current issue of Science, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies report that constant crosstalk between growing sensory and motor neurons keeps them on track.
Top: Constant crosstalk between motor (shown in green) and sensory (shown in red) nerves ensures that the two different types of neurons join up after they emerge from the spinal cord but sort into separate fascicles containing either sensory or motor axons, but never both. Bottom: Without communication between motor and sensory axons, the sorting between the fascicles breaks down and instead of reaching for muscles, some motor neurons leave their lane, make a U-turn and head back toward the spinal cord.
Images: Provided by the Pfaff laboratory, Salk Institute for Biological Studies
Skeletal muscle consists of thousands of muscle fibers, each controlled by one motor neuron in the spinal cord that connects to individual muscle fibers and relays signals from the brain. Sensory stretch receptors, which are located in most muscles, as well as temperature, pressure and pain receptors, all send information back to the central nervous system.
"If you look at a cross section of a nerve bundle it really is a mix of wires. Some wires are sending signals out from the spinal cord and others are sending signals to the spinal cord," explains Samuel Pfaff, Ph.D, a professor in the Gene Expression Laboratory, who together with former post doctoral fellow Till Marquardt, Ph.D., now a group leader at the European Neuroscience Institute in Göttingen, directed the study. "The motor and sensory nerves are not unlike a roadway with orderly traffic moving in both directions by staying in its proper lanes," he adds.
During embryonic development, nerve cells hesitantly extend tentacle-like protrusions called axons. Growth cones, small enlargements at the axons tip actively search their local environment for chemical cues that guide them to their target. One such cue comes from a class of molecules called ephrins, which repel cells carrying Eph proteins, gently nudging them in the right direction.
The traditional view was that growth cones studded with Eph proteins, which take on the role of receptors, search their environments for ephrins, which take on the role of ligands. During his time as a postdoctoral researcher in Pfaff's laboratory, Marquardt discovered that neurons not only carry both types of proteins, but that the role of ephrins and Ephs can change as well.
"The fact that neurons can express receptors and ligands and that everything can be a receptor or ligand, raised the question what happens when you have two neurons that grow beside each other and occasionally bump into one another," says Pfaff. To answer the question, the Salk researchers settled on sensory and motor neurons, which extend their axons along the same pathway to the periphery.
First, co-first authors Benjamin W. Gallarda, and Dario Bonanomi, Ph.D., generated mice that allowed them to genetically distinguish between sensory and motor neurons with different "labels". With ephrin/Eph signaling intact, their axons joined up after they emerged from the spinal cord but sorted into separate fascicles containing either sensory or motor axons, but never both. When the researchers deleted EphA3 and EphA4 in motor neurons, interrupting the cross talk across the highway divide, things started to go severely wrong.
The sorting between the fascicles of the motor and sensory axons broke down and instead of reaching for muscles, some motor neurons left their lane, made a U-turn, joined the sensory lane and headed back toward the spinal cord. "It was a real wiring disaster," says Pfaff. "It appears that ephrin and Eph not only control the decision where these axons grow out in the periphery but also maintain the normal arrangement between the motor and sensory pathway."
The ephrin/Eph tag team not only helps the body's motor nerve cells grow along their proper paths during embryonic development, it also plays a major role in preventing spinal cord neurons from regenerating after injuries. Hoping to coax injured neurons into rewiring severed connections, researchers in the spinal cord field are hard at work trying to overcome the block that prevents axonal growth within the central nervous system.
"Our findings emphasize that this needs to be done cautiously. If you promote indiscriminate motor axon growth it could cause a lot of problems," cautions Pfaff. "There are many examples of extensive neuronal reorganization following spinal cord injuries and one often underappreciated byproduct is severe pain."
Researchers who also contributed to the study include Daniel Müller, Ph.D., a post doctoral researcher in the Marquardt laboratory, Arthur Brown, Ph.D., associate professor at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, postdoctoral researchers William A. Alaynick, Ph.D., Shane E. Andrews, Ph.D., both in the Pfaff laboratory, and Greg Lemke, professor in the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory at the Salk.
The Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to fundamental discoveries in the life sciences, the improvement of human health and the training of future generations of researchers. Jonas Salk, M.D., whose polio vaccine all but eradicated the crippling disease poliomyelitis in 1955, opened the Institute in 1965 with a gift of land from the City of San Diego and the financial support of the March of Dimes.

Mom of course fed us lots of good food, and we got in some quality time with Sophia and Charlotte.
Amy and I also took care of our Christmas card photos. We'd been waiting for a typical snowy Minnesota scene, and we got it.
They had this idea of them all laying on their backs, looking up at me. This posed somewhat of a problem, as it's hard to get up high enough to do that without having ladder legs or something else in the photo. Fortunately, since Mom and Dad leave the dock sections in the back yard, all I had to do was climb up on one of the benches and lean over a bit.
Since I'm egotistical about my photography, I wouldn't let anyone else even press the button for our Xmas photos. Not even if I'd already set everything up. So, even though Mom was there to make Zada look at the camera, I had the SLR on timer mode :)
I also got some cute "on the side" shots of Amy and Charlotte - who was the epitome of a little Eskimo baby. Pretty darn cute, if I may say so myself (and I do).
Of course, no photo shoot is complete without me taking random pictures of my dog...my dad asked me at one point, "how many pictures of your dog do you NEED?" I dunno...and nobody complains about a mother taking a bajillion pictures of her kid :) That's all it is!
Thing is, this dog loves being outside so much that the picture wasn't posed. I happened to look out and saw her lying contentedly in the snow and snapped this through the window.
In addition to all this, I decided to get the engagement shot out of the way. I originally wasn't going to do this, but Mom wants to run an announcement in the Brainerd paper (sigh) so I obliged. Didn't spend too much time on it, but we're pleased with the results :)
Once again, I didn't want anyone else "taking" the image so I got a little creative with my tripod (thank goodness for pistol grips!) and the timer. Keep in mind he was very open to doing this, even though there was a football game going on downstairs! What a guy...
So, it was definitely a weekend full of posing and image capturing, but fun nonetheless.
The next time we head up - New Year's - I can say won't be nearly as photography-focused, which I'm sure will bring a sigh of relief from everyone :)

The Niagara Falls public library has this information:
From June to November 1969 the American Falls were dewatered. This action cut back the normal flow of 60,000 gallons a second to almost nothing. Most of the diverted water was either sent over the Horseshoe Falls or diverted to the Robert Moses generating plant's upriver intakes. The action enabled Canadian and US power companies and the US Army Corps of Engineers to do on-the-spot inspections and aerial photographs of the river bed's rock formation. This was all part of a plan to reduce erosion to the Falls.
Must have been an amazing sight to see. I've posted some pictures of the falls as they normally run just for comparison.

In 1969 the falls went quiet as the Niagara river was temporarily diverted. The dam can be seen in the upper right.

The falls as they normally run, as seen in June, 2009. A natural phenomenon, Niagara Falls sees between four and six millions cubic feet of water go over its crest every minute. The Falls are 188 feet high, with the deepest section of the Niagara River just at their base-going down 170 feet.

While the water was diverted, large amounts of fallen rock could be seen at the base of the falls.

Just "how" it is coming, and how much of an impact it will have on the Queens community, though, is still up in the air. So MLS hosted a town hall meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 4, at Queens Theater in the Park to present its plan to build the new soccer stadium.
Unfortunately, they insulted the intelligence of residents here by giving seating preferences and attendance to people who are pro-soccer.
"Do they think we are stupid?" said one man who thinks the stadium should not be as big, "I want more information and I am not even allowed near the stage. I was in a separate room. They should have had this in a bigger place. Or did they do this on purpose?"
The problems for MLS are now obvious. People don't trust them. Say what you may about Atlas Mall, The Barclays Center, National Tennis Center and Resorts World, they at least let community sound off. They had to take their beatings and listen.
You can try to drown out the concerns of Queens residents and activists, but if you try to shut them out, then MLS is mistaken about how to handle this. Ask any developer and they will tell you that you must let the people protest. You must at least appear to listen. In the case of Resorts World, they actually did and are giving back to non-profits all over the borough.
A Major League Soccer presence in Queens would be a really nice addition to the economy and Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. We hope they didn't blow it by how they handled the public relations part of their plans.
Hold another town hall meeting. Let everyone in and let the residents protest. And listen! You might make some advocates out of naysayers.

The Discussion
I am really sad, disappointed, angry with what I heard in the summit.
- No WinRT support. Another intermediate Solution?
- No XAML/C++ -> native a second class citizen - how could this happen :( !
- Different XAML stack in WP8 than in WinRT (not based on D2D, not native)
- Windows team uses a different UI stack because they know the dev framework sucks :(
- MSFT employes hating on native developers citing "safety" and "reliablity" concerns. Wow.
- No native support in WP7.8 because it is already there and MSFT and selected partners already use it - great job!
- WP7.5 users who bought a phone in 2012(!) cannot get WP8. They will get cosmetic changes but the dev platform will be dead. Great! I knew advising people to buy the Lumia 900 was a good idea! Thank you.
Who makes these stupid decisions seriously? Phones are very limited in ressources (CPU, GPU, Memory). To efficiently (less battery drain, rich UI, etc.) use the hardware, native code is still the best option. But no, MSFT has (finally) a Native UI on WinRT (ARM) but not on WP8 (ARM).
@Dennis S: Nothing wrong with starting somewhere. Give us some credit. Watch the keynote and understand what shared core does mean, too.
@Dennis S:
you're making alot of assumtions that i think are false, but i dont blame you.. why oh why microsoft do you seem hell bent on confusing and scaring your developer base? just to be cool like apple? stop that, please..
Why can you just come out and say "win phone 8 uses directx 11", "WinRT will be available but maybe not all the apis". how hard is that? but no, lets have vague statements like "it shares the core of windows 8" with absolutley no mention of the frameworks and apis developers actually use.
I am a big fun of windows phone but voice control and conversation demo is really early for production. It is too primitive if we compare to iphone siry engine for example.
Did Kevin mention something about Audible, saying that it was even available for WP 7.5? Sounds like something that's more or less along the lines of Siri, but when I look for it in the marketplace all I see if the Audible for book reading. Am I missing something?
Dont know about Audible.

|1. Background information for teachers:
After the Revolutionary War, the U.S. Government established laws to survey and sell land gained from Britain. The area that became Alabama was originally part of the Mississippi Territory from 1798 to 1817. Many settlers arrived in the area before government lands had been surveyed. Unable to buy, they simply picked a location, built a cabin, cleared fields, and put in crops. Such families were called squatters. Land laws were passed to provide legal title to land for settlers who already lived on the land. Some settlers claimed land by British or Spanish land grants, and others were squatters who claimed land by right of pre-emption.
Starting in 1804, U. S. Land Offices were established to sell land in the area which would become Alabama. By law federal land was sold to the highest bidders at public auctions. Alabama sales attracted men from all over the nation, many of them speculators. Groups of speculators bought large tracts, sometimes for as little as $10 an acre, then resold at $20 to $100 an acre. When an auction ended, poorer migrants could buy less desirable land for as little as $2 an acre. The smallest amount one person could buy was 160 acres. Under the Land Law of 1800 a purchaser could put one-fourth down and pay the rest off over three years. But when the price of cotton fell to eighteen cents a pound, few could meet payments on land bought at inflated prices. By 1820, Alabama owed the federal government $11 million--more than half of the national land debt. In 1820 and 1821 Congress passed new laws to deal with this problem. The Land Law of 1820 required future buyers to pay the entire amount in cash but lowered the minimums to $1.25 an acre and 80 acres. Those already in debt were aided by the Relief Act of 1821 which permitted them to keep part of their land and return the rest to the government or buy it all on the installment plan at reduced rates.
2. Learning Objectives:
2. Identify topics important to early settlers (land, cotton, politics, news of home).
3. Explain the impact of geography on development of population centers.
4. Describe peaceful interaction with Native Americans.
5. Explain the government's role in sale of public land.
6. Define pre-emption, "squatter," land grant, auction.
3. Suggested activity:
Document 1 will be useful for discussing what life was like on the frontier in early Alabama.
1. Make copies of Document 1 and distribute to students.
2. Give them a few minutes to read the letter or you may read the letter to the class while students follow silently.
3. Give each student a copy of Worksheet 1 to complete by using the information in the letter. You may wish to have your class work in pairs or small groups.
4. Ask students to identify the person who wrote the letter and the person to whom it was addressed.
5. Ask students to make a list of all the topics discussed in the letter.
6. Ask students to describe the writer, i.e. educated, poor, adventurous, resourceful, etc.
7. Discuss why the writer complained about the lack of news. What other clue did you find that indicated that the writer was relatively isolated and that news of any kind was highly desirable?

10. What references indicate that settlers and Indians were not always at war?
11. How did the writer describe the land where he lived?
12. What does "staple of our country " mean? Why is this important?
13. Where, how and why did the writer ship his produce to market? Why is this significant in view of "sectionalism" that developed in Alabama?
14. Compare the writer's view of the land relief act with the purpose of the laws described above.
15. Explain, or ask students to look up, "squatter," pre-emption, land grant, auction.
16. Who is the writer encouraging to move to Alabama? How will he help to make their move easier?
17. Ask students to assume the role of one of the people mentioned in the letter and to write a letter describing his/her preparations for moving to Alabama.

A great post about what can or cannot be included in FHA seller paid closing costs for the buyer. I slightly dis agree with the authors commetn that the closing costs are added back to the price. In our area an din todays market the seller should expect to pay at least some closing costs as a part of the sale.
These days many of the FHA Borrowers that I work with require Sellers to pay most of their Closing Costs, so I need to be on top of what the FHA Guideline On Seller Paid Closing Costs are. The FHA Guideline On Seller Paid Closing Costs are very specific, but could cause some last minute surprises if not explained correctly, and understood by the Borrower.
FHA does not require that a Buyer put any of his or her own money towards Downpayment and/or Closing Cost. All of the money for Downpayment and Closing Costs can come from an acceptable gift source such as a:
- Family member
- Employer
- Non Profit
- State Bonded Program like CHFA in Connecticut
FHA will not allow a Seller to contribute ANY money towards Downpayment, but they will allow the Seller to contribute up to 6% of the Sales Price towards the Buyers Closing Costs. This sounds good and it is, but I rarely see the Seller actually pay the Buyers Closing Costs. In reality what happens is the Seller raises the agreed upon Selling Price by the amount of the Closing Costs that they will be contributing.
This means that even though the Buyer can receive up to 6% towards Closing Costs, they should not request any more than the actual amount of Closing Costs that the Seller will be allowed to pay at the Closing. If the Buyer asks for more money than the Seller will be allowed to contribute towards Closing Cost, the Seller gets to keep the difference, and the Buyer ends up paying more for the house than they needed to. This means that before a Buyer or their Realtor asks for Seller Paid Closing Costs, they need to talk to their Loan Originator, and have him or her give them a very close estimate of what the Total Closing Cost will actually be.
In figuring the Estimated Closing Costs, the Loan Originator will need to take into account the Closing Cost that FHA will not allow the Seller to pay, and subtract them from the Total Closing Cost Estimate. The Closing Costs the will need to be deducted from the Total Closing Costs are any Closing Costs that are paid before the Closing. Those will include any fees paid to the Lender or other vendors prior to the Closing.
Possible items that maybe required to be paid before of the Closing are:
- Appraisal Fee
- Application Fee
- Condo Questionnaire
- Homeowners Insurance
There are other fees that could possibly be required to be paid before the Closing, but these are the most common ones. However, even though I have included Homeowners Insurance in the list above, there is away to include them into the costs that the Seller will contribute at the Closing.
All Lenders will require that the Borrower obtain an insurance binder before the Closing, but they do not require that the premium be paid prior to the Closing as long as a check will be sent to the insurance company at the time of the Closing. However, some insurance companies will not issue the insurance binder without a payment, so what I advise my Borrowers to do in that case is to just pay them one month premium, and the other 11 months paid at the Closing. That way they can maximize the funds that that they can receive from the Seller, and reduce their out of pocket cost.
I have heard of angry Buyers that did not find out until the Closing that they could not be reimbursed for the items that they paid before the Closing. That is not the type of surprise that anyone wants at the last minute. I make sure that my Borrowers understand this when I am Pre-Qualifying them, when I am doing the Mortgage Application with them, and after the loan is approved and they are now going to shop for Homeowners Insurance. I want them to take advantage of ALL the funds that the Seller has agreed to contribute, and I don't want an agree phone call from my Borrowers after the Closing.
This is something that can not be explained enough, and should be reinforced at every appropriate opportunity. FHA Guideline On Seller Paid Closing Costs are very clear, and need to be followed, because FHA does not provide any flexibility when it comes to this issue.

k.d. lang
June 5, 2012 @ 8:00 pm
tOver two decades ago, k.d. lang launched her career with a blend of country-rock stylings and playful punk attitude. Since then, the Canadian singer has defied genres, creating whimsical and subversive pop while winning multiple Grammy awards. Perhaps best known for her critical and commercial hit "Constant Craving," which earned her a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1993, lang has partnered with many notable artists, dueting with Roy Orbison on "Crying" and collaborating with Elton John, Tony Bennett, Bonnie Raitt, and Madeleine Peyroux. Bennett himself may, in fact, be lang's greatest fan, declaring to the press what so many fans have come to believe over the last two and a half decades: "She's the best singer of her generation."

PHP Components: 3 Tips For Publishing Your Own PEAR Channel
Posted by Stuart Herbert on March 31st, 2011 in Examples, phix, Toolbox.
In my Beyond Frameworks talk, I explained how a component-based architecture can help answer some of the important (i.e. expensive!) questions you might face when creating long-lived apps that rely on a PHP framework. In this series of blog posts, I'm going to look at how to go about creating and working with components.
In my last article, I looked at how to publish your own PEAR channel, and why today that's the best option for you and your projects. It takes about 10 minutes to publish your first PEAR channel, thanks to Fabien's work on creating Pirum.
But what is it like to actually work with your own PEAR channel on a long-term basis? What are the things you could do to make things as easy as possible?
Tip 1: Local Copy Of Your PEAR Channel
Sometimes, you develop a component for the sake of it, but most of the time, you end up writing your components and the app that needs them side by side. This is what happened with phix et al, and behind the scenes here it is also what is happening with the components for my example app called sental.
When that happens, no matter how focused and skilled your unit testing is, you'll want to release preview versions of your component, try them in your app, and then go back to your component and tweak things … all before you're ready to share the next release of your component via your PEAR channel. This is what the 'alpha' and 'beta' stability flags in package.xml were originally designed for, but it's more pragmatic to have a local, private copy of your PEAR channel on your dev box, and leave those stability flags well alone.
Here are the steps you need to follow to setup your own private copy of your PEAR channel on a Linux box:
- Setup Apache on your dev box with a virtual host to publish your PEAR channel, just like you have done on your public webserver.
- Use pirum to create your PEAR channel's files on your dev box (or, even better, see Tip 3 below).
- Edit /etc/hosts to have the fully-qualified domain name for your PEAR channel point to IP address 127.0.0.1.
With this done, every time you use the PEAR installer on your dev box to install something from your PEAR channel, the PEAR installer will actually download your component from your private copy of your PEAR channel. You can keep putting new copies of your component onto this private copy of your PEAR channel until you're satisfied with it, and it doesn't matter that you're not actually bumping the version number of your component each time you do so, because only you are affected.
And when you're ready to send this new version out into the world, you just need to tag the release in source control, and then upload your private copy of your PEAR channel to your public webserver.
(Btw, if you do a lot development disconnected from the internet like I do, having a local copy of your PEAR channel is pretty much a must!)
Tip 2: Tag Your Releases
Once you've decided that your component is ready to share with everyone on your PEAR channel, that's the time to tag your release in source control. It's dead easy to do, and it gives you and anyone else who takes over maintenance of your code a record of what was in each release.
Here's how to do it in git.
stuart:~/Devel/sental/repustateApi$ git tag -a -m 'Release 0.1.0' 0.1.0 stuart:~/Devel/sental/repustateApi$ git push --tags origin master
If you're publishing on GitHub, you can then go to your component on there and forever more see your code for that release. Here's the repustateApi component at version 0.1.0 on GitHub, as a real example of tagged code. An even better example is Sebastian Bergmann's PHPUnit project, where at the time of writing there are 193 tags to see!
As an aside, we really should be digitally signing these tags, but that is a topic in its own right for a later blog post!
Tip 3: Publish Your PEAR Channel Via Source Control
It isn't just the code for your components that can be tracked via source control; there is nothing stopping you from publishing your PEAR channel via source control too. pear.gradwell.com is our public PEAR channel, and we have a pear.gradwell.com repo up on GitHub for it.
This makes it extremely easy to publish new packages to our PEAR channel. On my dev box, I add a new release to source control like this:
stuart:/var/www/pear.gradwell.com$ git clone email@example.com:Gradwell/pear.gradwell.com.git stuart:/var/www/pear.gradwell.com$ pirum add . ~/Devel/repustateApi/dist/repustateApi-0.1.0.tgz stuart:/var/www/pear.gradwell.com$ git add -i stuart:/var/www/pear.gradwell.com$ git commit -m 'Added repustateApi-0.1.0' stuart:/var/www/pear.gradwell.com$ git push origin master
… and then I SSH into our public webserver, and simply do:
stuart:/var/www/pear.gradwell.com$ git pull
Job done 🙂
This is actually a very handy setup when you have more than one developer publishing packages. Each of your developers merges their new releases into source control, so that no-one trips over each other (very important in a distributed team), and everyone can clearly see who has published what.Be the first to leave a comment »

text: Unique's Military Chic – Topshop Unique tapped into the fall season's trend of military inspired pieces for its latest collection presented during London Fashion Week. Models hit the runway in army green, dark plum, ash grey and black. Silhouettes were lax yet modern with a rock and roll vibe that took hemlines to the upper thigh. Layering was a must for autumn with long coats placed on top of lightweight dresses and slouchy trousers. A vast change from last season's Egyptian themed show, Unique appears to be growing up beginning with fall 2012.

Just like not all Americans are like the people who made the weird anti-Islam movie that is sparking protests in Muslim nations, not all people in Libya are like the ones who killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens. Some of the people of Benghazi, where Stevens was killed, held a demonstration against terrorism and to show sympathy for the U.S. Libya Alhurra TV, an Internet TV channel founded at the start of the Arab Spring in 2011, posted Facebook photos of a rally there showing support for America and sympathy for Stevens. Here are some of those pictures:
Update: With the help from The Atlantic's multilingual Heather Horn and some Facebook commenters, we have a few translations of the Arabic signs.
Update: In the photo above, the sign held by the man on the far left says "No to al Qaeda, no to violence, this is a youth revolution." (Update II: An astute commenter points out the word is "terrorism," not violence.) The middle one says, "No No No to Al Qaeda." The sign held by the boy on the right is hard to read at this angle, but says something against killing.
From the Facebook page of The Libyan Center for Documentation, more images of the demonstration:
Update III: Reader Aicha Benmansour writes in with some translations. Above, the sign held by the woman on the right "is a Quran verse that says something like: 'Is the reward of goodness but goodness?!' (humble tentative, it's difficult to translate Quran from divine to human words -- it means something like a reminder to reward good by good)."
Update: The Supreme Security Committee Interim Tripoli has more photos of pro-American demonstrations in Tripoli.
The Arabic phrase above "Islam against terrorism" says "No to violence." That's on a lot of the signs.
Twitter user @2011feb17 says these photos are from a counter-protest in Algeria square in Tripoli:
Update III: Benmansour explains the sign on the right approximately translates as, "We disapprove/condemn the humiliation of the prophet but NOT with Terrorism."

Marquette ramps up marketing efforts for Sweet 16
Marquette University is ramping up its marketing efforts ahead of the Sweet 16 action for the Golden Eagles.
MU 1992 graduate Kevin Kulwicki calls Kentucky home now, but happened to be in town Monday and said he knew he had to stop by the Spirit Shop to pick up the new Sweet 16 shirts.
He said when he went to school, Marquette didn't make it that far, so he's pumped and confident Miami will be beaten.
"I'm a die-hard Marquette fan, so I hope so," Kulwicki said.
But it's not just T-shirts spreading excitement about Thursday's matchup. While the team takes care of business on the hard wood, back home, the marketing department is also seizing the moment.
"The primary goal here is to raise awareness of our brand and all the good things that the university has to offer in addition to basketball," said David Murphy of MU Brand Marketing.
So the branding team got to work, putting up a new alumni website to let people know where watch parties are and where to find fellow MU fans in Washington, D.C., for the next game.
And keep an eye out on the highways.
"Sweet three-peat," is one of the new Marquette billboards people will see all over the city. Marquette said it created it within five minutes of the big win Saturday night.
"We can update them with the engagement we have in social media. So this whole notion of tweets, we can receive them and put them out there on a regular basis," Murphy said.
WISN 12 News' own Portia Young's tweet made it, and yours could too.
Marquette said it received more than 200 new Twitter followers over the weekend.
The marketing work never stops. The team is already getting ready for possible Elite Eight marketing.

Perez hits 3-run HR in 9th, Royals beat Rays 5-4
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Salvador Perez gave the Royals a late lift Wednesday night heading into a key midseason series.
Perez hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the ninth inning and Kansas City beat Tampa Bay 5-4 to take two of three from the Rays.
The second-place Royals return home Thursday night to begin a four-game series against AL Central-leading Detroit, which has a 4 1/2-game lead.
"That was a huge win for us," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "That's the difference between 4 1/2 games back compared to 5 1/2 games back. Definitely nice to have a little momentum going home for the last four games before the All-Star break. It's a lot better than the alternative."
Kirby Yates (0-1), the fifth Tampa Bay reliever, entered with runners at the corners and gave up Perez's one-out shot into the left-field corner.
Perez wasn't sure if the drive would stay fair or even clear the low fence near the foul pole.
"As soon as the ball hit on the other side, good for us," he said.
It's been a big week for Perez, chosen Sunday to start at catcher for the American League in next week's All-Star game.
Aaron Crow (4-1) pitched a scoreless eighth and Greg Holland got three outs for his 24th save.
All-Star outfielder Alex Gordon (sprained right wrist) and third baseman Mike Moustakas (flu) were not in Kansas City's starting lineup. In addition, left-hander Jason Vargas was taken to the hospital for an appendectomy.
Gordon entered as a ninth-inning defensive replacement. He will have an MRI exam Thursday.
"I don't think it's anything serious," he said.
Kevin Kiermaier went 4 for 4 with a grand slam for the Rays.
Tampa Bay, which lost for the fourth time in 14 games, missed a chance to gain a game on AL East-leading Baltimore. The Rays remained nine games back of the Orioles in fourth place.
"It stings a little bit," Yates said. "It's a game we could have won and we needed to win. Obviously, it doesn't feel good. It's a situation where you let your team down, but there's nothing I can do about it now."
After starter Yordano Ventura walked light-hitting Jose Molina to load the bases with two outs in the fourth, Kiermaier sent a shot into the right-field stands to give Tampa Bay a 4-2 lead.
Eric Hosmer hit a first-pitch solo homer with two outs in the first off Alex Cobb that put the Royals up 1-0. It was the first time Cobb pitched against Kansas City since being struck near the right ear June 15 last year by a liner hit by Hosmer.
Cobb, sidelined for two months due to problems that included a concussion and symptoms of vertigo, allowed two runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings.
Ventura gave up four runs, five hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out five.
The Royals loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth, but scored just once to take a 2-0 lead on Raul Ibanez's grounder. Kansas City failed to score with the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh when reliever Grant Balfour got a pop fly from Perez.
NOTES: Kansas City is 2-37 when trailing entering the ninth inning. ... Tampa Bay SS Yunel Escobar (shoulder) could return Friday. ... Kansas City RHP Jeremy Guthrie (5-7) and Tigers LHP Drew Smyly (4-8) are Thursday's scheduled starters. ... The Rays are off Thursday before starting a three-game series Friday night against Toronto.

News that Gene Shalit is ending his 40-year stint reviewing movies for NBC's "Today" show has inspired us to channel him in offering this assessment: He proved a Gene-uine joy to watch, and is, in his way, a Gene-ius of the craft.
Watching Shalit's reviews are like getting a recommendation from a loveably eccentric pal – one whose bushy hair and prominent handlebar mustache are as outrageous as his puns.
The worst thing anybody can say about Shalit is that he, on many occasions, is too generous with his praise, too quick to offer up blurb-friendly one-liners.
That's earned him good-natured mockery, everywhere from "Saturday Night Live" to a "Family Guy" episode in which Shalit mugged Peter ("Don't 'Panic Room,'" he said. "I'm not going to 'William Hurt' you. I only want your 'Tango and Cash.' So just 'Pay it Forward' and we'll all be 'Happy Gilmore'").
But what's most distinguished Shalit, besides his unique appearance and goofily effusive style, is that he never lost enthusiasm for the movies.
While some critics pick endlessly over meaning and nuance, Shalit recognizes the power of a good popcorn flick. He could be relied upon to quickly – and entertainingly – tell you whether your $1.50 (the average price of a movie ticket when he started on "Today" in 1970) or the $10 or so today would buy you a couple hours of escape from life.
The substance behind Shalit's shtick is that he's always approached the job as a movie fan. He stuck to his ways as he became a pop-culture figure – presaging the stardom of Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert – and even as the Internet made everybody a critic.
In announcing the official end of his "Today" gig, the 84-year-old Shalit reported that, among other plans, he'll be taking his act online. Meanwhile, "Today" is slated to air a salute to Shalit Thursday, his final day on the program.
After four decades of previews, it's a safe bet the tribute will be, to use a Shalit-friendly word, "Terrific!"

There's an uproar this week among local governments over legislation -- thrown together without hearings or review -- that would give Indian tribes an effective veto over various local land use decisions.
The bill stems from a fight in Riverside County over the building of a quarry.
The Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians claims that the quarry -- while not on tribal land -- would impact a sacred site.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The bill would require tribal sign-off on reclamation projects and other changes in the area, even outside tribal land.
Pechanga and other tribes are big donors to politicians, so it's no surprise that legislators have quickly put together legislation.
But lawmakers should reconsider, not only for reasons of economy -- the quarry would produce jobs and materials necessary for construction -- but also for their own credibility.
Sacramento has been full of talk this year about the need to focus on the economy and on greater local control for governments.
When state lawmakers then put together legislation to serve a special interest at the expense of the economy and local control, you have to wonder if they mean what they say.

NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Authorities have released surveillance footage of crooks making a smashing entrance into a Verizon store.
It happened Saturday morning just before dawn at the Verizon store at 14744 Biscayne Boulevard in North Miami Beach.
Police said at least three people with a pickup truck tried to get into the store by pulling the doors off with a tow cable. The cable snapped, though.
Next, security cameras captured their truck smashing through the store's front windows and driving clear through.
Through the shattered glass, two men slipped in. Instead of simply grabbing and smashing their way in, the men went shopping. Investigators said footage shows the men calmly looking at several phones, even some accessories, before walking off. They only got away with one real cell phone, police said.
"Everything else they took was a dummy of a display phone," said officer Jason Ochoa. "Luckily, at that time of the morning, nobody got hurt."
Authorities said they caused $40,000 worth of damage to the store front.

It's a Halloween whodunit.
Police on the eastern end of Long Island are investigating the theft of more than 600 pumpkins from a farm in Calverton.
Newsday reports that the theft was reported Monday at Rottkamp's Fox Hollow Farm.
Riverhead Town police are investigating.
Police say the pumpkins were worth about $4,200.
The 250-acre farm has been owned by the Rottkamp family since 1967.

First thing I saw was it is warmer in Milwaukee (46) than Las Vegas (31) as I type. Thankfully that will change. The shit hits the Midwest next week with lots of precipitation and ice. That ice is suppose to hit after I leaveon Thursday which is a good thing. The temps in Vegas look to be rather warm. 60s? I may wear shorts!
Like being heads up with A A vs K K, I am not expecting these numbers to hold up. They will change. It will get colder in Vegas. I am just hoping the bad weather can hold off at home.
Before I am done, let's give Poker Stars some love for the added money for next Saturday's tournament. Being the lazy person I am, I quickly grabbed a portion of the post at Up For Poker the other day and pasted it below. It looks like I missed something but it has the meat of the Stars giveaway, the bounties and Hammer Challenge.
Each bounty player will have a trinket that you will be responsible for recovering when you knock them out and it is your responsibility to bring your trinket to me to get credit. Once again, prize money for the OGH will be deposited into your PokerStars account.
What's that you ask again? There's even more?!?!?!?
Why, now that you've asked, there is!
Some of you out there might think the concept of the Hammer is a little played out. I mean, it used to be cool before it went all mainstream and pros like Phil Hellmuth and Antonio Esfandiari started dropping it on national TV (without giving any credit it to Grubby!), but I digress. It's ours and we're bringing it back!
The wonderful folks at PokerStars are putting up $500 for the Hammer Challenge. The first ten hammers shown for the win post-flop will receive $50 apiece. Again, those hammers must be shown post-flop. When you accomplish this feat, you'll need to stand up and yell, "Hammer" for confirmation from the floor and so I can record the feat. And, again, prize money for the HC will be deposited into your PokerStars account.
That's a total of $4500 in added prize money for the 2010 Winter Classic courtesy of our friends at PokerStars. Give them some love when you get a chance! And if you have any questions, let me know!

Richard Kelly's Southland Tales is not a great movie. Too much time is spent following characters that have little to do with the emotional center of the film – it almost feels as if Kelly didn't trust the core of his story and so brought all of the subplots to the forefront (though that isn't the truth and I'll get back to that.) We follow all of these tangential storylines that one after the other fade away leaving us with an accomplished final twenty minutes of film, one that has baffled many viewers, but I found to be powerful enough and understandable enough to have stood alone as a movie. Of course, we all know, or maybe not, the story of how Southland Tales came to be.
An unfinished cut premiered at Cannes and was booed by the audience…those French are apparently difficult to please. The studio said they wouldn't release it unless the film was cut down… and now the studios are listening to the French? The first studio said by an hour, the second studio only twenty minutes. So Kelly recut, keeping the "sellable" stars in the foreground, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Sarah Michelle Gellar, and keeping in the background the central theme of the film represented by Sean William Scott and Justin Timberlake. Both now seem less important than all of the other minor characters of the film. It's truly frustrating to feel like a chunk of the film was missing as I watched. It almost feels like watching the cut the studio put together for television of Terry Gilliam's Brazil.
Even though it feels like a mess, it is a well thought out mess with a lot of ideas; an influx of ideas that I feel comes closer to representing our post 9-11 hysteria and uprooted sense of safety and perception in the years following the collapse of the twin towers than any other film has done. How Kelly achieves this is by multiplying the devastating attacks by a thousand. We're greeted in the first 5 minutes of the film by a nuclear explosion on US soil followed by a blanket of information age updates that follows uniformly with the neurotic news broadcasts that throw so much information at us in boxes and scrolling text and announcements that it's hard to tell what's important and what's not. Familiar words and phrases keep us grounded in reality: "This is the worst attack on US soil," one news reporter proclaims and talk of a heightened Patriot Act is equated with an image of an elephant mounting another. Ah, so it's satire that Kelly has in mind. A news broadcast with a porn star Krysta Now played by Sarah Michelle Gellar that deals with everything from politics to teen horniness being okay only cements this idea. And that's where the biggest problem of the film rests. None of the satire is really that funny. Sure it makes a point but everything is directed, edited and scored with a distant coldness that keeps the comedy at arm's length. This has nothing to do with the studios, but everything to do with Kelly's choices as a creator. Relying on easy jabs at the porn industry is not the ultimate joke in a world close to apocalyptic meltdown. But the idea is interesting when you reflect upon how the citizens of the US view a shallow porn star's ideas as something to be seriously thought about. The idea is interesting, because whether Kelly means to infer it or not, it's our idea and not one he deals with, because before we know it his ADD induced world has moved on to other territory. He goes as far as casting comedians in roles that require no comedic skills, or gives comedians very few funny situations to deal with. It's a strange middle ground that tells me Kelly didn't quite know what he wanted the tone of his film to be, but somewhere strongly in the middle. A faux murder that goes wrong is the funniest moment of this middling film. Back to the story: (more…)

Unanswered topics panel
Subject description: a suggestion
To comment on the problem of only the 'beginner' section getting quick replies to unanswered topics.
It does get the most attention, in a way this is justified as beginners are least likely to be able to help themselves.
However, this could lead to people posting in that section just to get attention.
In addition to the 'View unanswered posts' link on the top right-hand side, a unanswered topic panel could be introduced. This is what the inkscape user forum does, running the same software phpBB (not sure if its easy to implement). See-
BTW - you can get email noticification by using 'Watch Topic for Replies' if you don't want to keep checking back.
BBTW - an answered topic isn't a solved topic, folk can help here by modifying title of original post tile to
[Solved] title
, once the query has been successfully dealt with.

I second this forum-feature request. It would be VERY handy to know "at a glance" what's going on where.
I can't say how easy it would be to implement; I know very little of programming.

Subject description: A very good suggestion
I joined this forum because a particular DVB-T problem had become acute but faced a quandry of where and how best to describe the difficulty without attracting over-complex (or derisive) answers. A long ten days and 143 views later I posted an exasperated comment that began to attract helpful replies aiding solution.
Earlier response from an unanswered topics panel would have helped avoid a feeling that my problem was too FAQ, poorly described or uninteresting.

Maybe, I am being a bit dense here,
but I don't see a significant difference between having a
view unanswered posts
link and an
unanswered topics panel.
I am wondering then, if this would be largely a duplication of function and/or service. Would you elaborate further on your suggestion... why it is needed and how it would improve the discussion and help already provided in the Forum.

Hi Monsie,
There isn't a significant difference, it just makes the unanswered topics more obvious. I don't know if it counts as duplicate service, really its the same service displayed slightly differently.
I already covered how it could help, it would draw more attention to unanswered topics - as they would be on a page everyone visits. Therefore a topic may catch the eye a specialist who wasn't necessarily visiting to answer question.
So its not a big thing, but could help.

One problem that I unfortunately created
due to my overly inner need to be of help.
Suppose somebody ask something and then
I could not resist to say something like this
"We have had three threads about that this year
and if you use the link in my signature and the
right keyword then hopefully you find them
and if they fail to give the precise answer
then get at it again here in the thread. "
Something like that.
Megafail a total fail a disaster. Often it
stopped even good contributers to even
read the original questions. They thought
that it was taken care of. Somebody owned the issue.
Another megafail.
Me or Beem or somebody else answered that
you have to describe it much better. What computer
and how do you boot and what error does it give
and so on.
Megafail even after them giving a better description
everbody thought it was taken care of because we
gave advice to describe it better.
So the software somehow needs some indication
So that those that wants to and can help see this:
Please try to help this person ASAP
Now a kind member told me I should change
my behavior and I did my best to live up to it
and it got a bit better when I where able to stop
myself from responding but maybe very many
had given up when I tried to compete with Beem
and me and him always being the first to respond.
Sadly we miss him and have no idea what have happen
to him. Silent for almost a year now. Ooops derail.
But it shows how dependent one get on "regulars"
that try to help out.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

the work around is for people to put [solved] at the start of the topic title - when a solution has been found. Anything without [solved] still needs help.
the trouble is it requires the OP (Original Poster) or mod to edit the title. often the OP won't know to do this.
If more people could edit the titles you could also add tags [unassigned] and [assigned]. [unassigned] would mean the topic is discussed but no one has taken it on. [assigned] would mean somebody has taken it on, but it requires further discussion or research. If that person can't find a solution they would need to revert it back to [unassigned].
you would need regular helpers to be able to edit titles for this to work. or maybe phpBB has a suitable plugin.
one reason why I recommend adding to the wiki is it allows information to be structured rather than randomly stored in discussions on the forum.

...but you're right, we'd have to remind people of how to edit their thread titles, probably constantly.

150 g butter
2 eggs
1 cup caster sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanillin sugar (or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract)
2 tsp baking powder
3 tbs cocoa powder
1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole milk
75 g butter
2 tbs cold coffee (1-2 tsp espresso coffee powder + 2 tbs hot water)
1 tbs cocoa powder
1 tsp vanillin sugar (optional)
3/4-1 cup icing sugar/confectioner's sugar
Desiccated coconut or sprinkles (optional)
Strawberries (optional)
Melt the butter at below medium heat. Put aside and allow to cool down. Lightly butter either a 7*9 inch square baking pan or a 9 inch round baking pan. Place a parchment paper at the bottom and butter the parchment paper lightly. Prepare the dry ingredients by mixing flour, vanillin sugar, baking powder and cocoa powder and sift twice. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the butter and mix until well blended. First, drizzle half of the milk into the egg mixture. Then sift half of the dry ingredients in there and fold with a spoon. Then drizzle the remaining milk and then the dry ingredients. Fold until well-blended.
Spoon in the cake batter into the baking pan and put the cake in the oven. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 200 C (about 400 F) in the bottom third rack for about 25 minutes or until the skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre of the cake. Take the cake out of the oven and allow it to cool down and meanwhile, go ahead and prepare the mocha frosting.
To make the frosting, add the coffee powder in a small cup and then pour 2 tbs of warm water and mix. Put aside. Melt the butter at low heat. Once the butter has melted, sift the cocoa powder and then drizzle the coffee. Whisk until well blended. Measure up the icing sugar and sift it in the same bowl, add the vanilla sugar and mix. Cook at low heat for about 2-3 minutes while continuously whisking until it is completely free of any lumps. Once the frosting looks smooth, take it away from the stove. Let it cool for sometime (but not completely) before spreading it on the cake. Drizzle it on top of the cake and spread it evenly. Sprinkle some desiccated coconut or sprinkles on top, if desired. Allow the frosting to stiffen completely before cutting into slices. I prefer to keep this cake in an airtight container at room temperature but you can also store them in the fridge.
