AN iPhone app that lets users simulate blowing up buildings, dropping cars on crowds and even launching carpet bombs on their neighbourhood has been branded insensitive by an Australian psychologist.
The Action Movie FX app allows users to take video footage and add action movie effects from a missile strike to tornadoes.
Launched on the Australian App Store just before Christmas the app also allows users to buy extra effects, including chopper crashes and armed assailants opening fire on the video subject.
But the free inclusion of a car flipping and rolling at the camera touted as "Look like an action star as you evade a massive CAR CRASH!" was yesterday panned as insensitive to victims of road trauma.
Glenn Cupit, senior lecturer in child development at the University of South Australia, warned the app could go beyond a bit of fun when it dabbled with the very real emotions of road trauma survivors.
"My immediate reaction to that is that it's incredibly insensitive," he said.
The app is touted as light hearted and its creators encourage users to post videos on Facebook for a bit of fun.
But the Herald Sun has learned at least one man had to remove a video post from Facebook after his employer saw it.
Others have taken the chance to blow up their children, something Dr Cupit sees as an improvement over physical action taken against a child.
"I'd prefer that than them actually throwing things at the kid," he said.
"I think it would normally be done in a comedic context, and it doesn't concern me greatly.
"If you had a particular situation where a father was spending hours each day blowing his kids up on screen, then I'd raise an eyebrow."
The app carries a 9+ warning for infrequent and mild cartoon or fantasy violence.

[Update] Jayson Stark reports that the Rays are just "monitoring [his] workload"…That is fishy. Three innings is not "monitoring a workload." That sounds more like somebody else might get traded and the Rays may need Hellickson to pitch this weekend.
[12:25pm] Jeremy Hellickson was pulled today after just 3 innings and 37 pitches. He struck out 4 and had not allowed a run. One person at the game said there was no sign of injury.
If Hellboy isn't injured, one has to wonder if he is being traded or promoted (Wade Davis traded?).

In this episode, the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court justice nominee Samuel Alito are underway. But is it really worth preempting CSPAN's Ways and Means Committee coverage? Then, 20/20's John Stossel will be here to find out what happens when the investigative journalist becomes the investigative journalee. And what do Freddy Krueger and the Mars rover have in common?

ADOTAS – When was the last time you read an article, tweet or post that began with, "The Top 10…?" If you are like me, then it was probably recently. From top-tier business publishers to long tail blogs, "Top 10s" are inescapable.
We know that publisher "Top 10 Insider Secrets…" and the "Five Reasons to Never…" are bound to be shared across Twitter, Facebook and the socialsphere. People like them. They are quick, easy to read and fun. That's why these types of "listicles" seem to get a lot of traction today. However, while lists and memes may attract readers to a story, it probably keeps them on the page for mere seconds. This makes it is almost impossible for brands to engage consumers in such a short window.
Test Field & Execution
As an advertising technology professional, engagement is our Holy Grail. Wouldn't you agree? So what makes consumers engaged?
- Content: Meaningful and relevant content that is easy to use. Consumers don't want to have to hunt and peck.
- Multi-Screen: Consumers are omnichannel. Mobile web access is growing at a rapid pace. They want to have the ability to view content across smartphones, tablets and computers.
- Mobile: Nearly 60 percent of American adults access the Internet with their mobile phones.
- Tablet: Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project says that 42 percent of U.S. adults now own a tablet, citing results from a survey conducted this January.
- Video and Images: Imagery and video are another source of great appeal. Consumers have moved from blogs and microblogs to visual social media sites including but not limited to Pinterest, Vine, Snapchat and Instagram. Why? Well as humans, we like pictures. Many websites are moving toward more image-heavy interfaces that combine images, video, text, interactivity and a good amount of scrolling.
Sure publishers want traffic, but isn't time spent still a major goal? Everyone in the space talks about the relationship between content and editorial to advertising. Brands and advertisers want to make sure their brand(s) are showcased alongside content that is appropriate, relevant and complementary.
For instance, when a premium brand like Mercedes is assessing media properties to advertise online, the publisher not only needs to have a high index against the target audience and lifestyle, but it should have engaging content as well. Capturing attention quickly is also important, particularly among the affluent audience who are the hardest to reach and the heaviest shoppers. Relevance is the key to capturing their attention, and once that attention is captured, the affluent audience will reward you by spending "as much as 217 percent more time engaging with online retail ads than the average browser."
It's no doubt that publishers are taxed with finding new ways to attract readers barraged by an influx of websites, blogs, feeds, social media and the like. The growth of the always-on, always-connected audience has reinforced the demand for quality content. This provides brands with opportunities to appeal to the readers to raise awareness, interaction, engagement and ultimately sales.
The bottom line is, better content leads to monetization. Consumers that are apt to engage with brands will most likely do so on sites with engaging quality content. Publishers who implement this will attract the best advertisers and reap the benefits of their engagement.

My monthly visit with Tony, my barber, inspires me every time. As I've written before, Tony Ramundo is an engaging guy who loves life. He's a life-long barber, which has given him thousands of long-term relationships. Tony spends 30 minutes of 1-on-1 time with more than a dozen people every day. And people tend to use their 30 minutes to discuss life's mysteries - after with the usual chit-chat about why the Reds can't figure out a way to win.
Last week Tony was telling me about how he and his brothers took a big leap in the early 1990s to set up a new, larger barber shop. There was a point where they were debating how much to spend and whether or not to get a sizable loan. Tony said something that stuck with me:
"We were deciding whether to spend $10,000 on new equipment instead of using our old stuff. $10,000 is a lot of haircuts."
Tony went on to describe how he and his brothers always thought in terms of "how many haircuts" it would take to make investments. He even said that he uses this exercise to keep himself from spending money frivolously in his personal life.
Behavioral economists would say that "thinking in haircuts" is a psychological tool that people can use to outwit their material cravings. A new car would be nice, and a loan is easy to get; but think about how many haircuts it will take to pay it off. This ensures that the positive impression of driving that car around town is balanced by the negative impression of how many hours of hard work it will cost to pay for it.
The Haircut Analogy (got to get a trademark on this...) is a great example of how challenge can drive improvement. By challenging ourselves to consider the cost of something in terms of hard work (rather than just money), we may make better choices.
And you can use this in your own life pretty easily. Just take whatever you do for a living, and put it into the dollars per hour you work, or the dollars per activity for your business. At our interactive advertising agency, our President, Jay, likes to keep our minds on costs by backing out how much Revenue and Profit we would have to bring in to cover the cost of investments. In other words, "Hey, that's a lot of banner ads to cover that cost!"
The idea here is not to simply prevent yourself from spending, but rather to better way the true cost and ensure it is worthy. Tony and his brothers ended up taking the loan and bringing in new equipment, after all!

Welcome to Germany!
The Federal Republic of Germany lies in the heart of Europe. It is a cosmopolitan, democratic country with a rich tradition as well as a vibrant modern life. Germany is one of the world's strongest economies and offers an innovative research and education landscape. At the same time, it has a dynamic cultural scene. Germany is the European Union's most populous nation with over 82 million inhabitants. It is surrounded by nine neighboring countries, and its territory encompasses roughly 357,000 square kilometres - stretching from the North Sea and the Baltic Sea in the north to the Alps in the south. Since 1949 the Federal Republic of Germany has been a democratic parliamentary federation. It is made up of 16 Länder (states), each with its own constitution, parliament and government. Germany is a modern and open-minded country with high quality of life, influenced in many ways by multinational diversity. Berlin is the capital of Germany.
Germany is a country characterized by variety. Trendy and modern Berlin can seem a world away from the more traditional and conservative Munich. The gleaming skyscrapers of Frankfurt form a stark contrast to quaint Heidelberg. And if bustling and fast-paced Hamburg becomes too much, you can always retreat to the peaceful and picturesque Middle Rhine region.
In Germany there are 399 institutions of higher education*, of which 111 are entitled to award doctorates, and around 230 universities of the applied sciences. Courses at German Higher Education Institutions cover more than 400 disciplines, and many institutions offer courses taught in English that lead to internationally recognized degrees, including Master's and PhD. Prominent fields of study include: Engineering Sciences, Natural Sciences, Economics and Business Administration, Arts, Music, Architecture and Design – and there are over 1,900 international programs*, most of them taught in English, listed on the DAAD database. Almost half of Germany's 2.4 million current students are women. With around 340,000 foreign students* enrolled at German institutions of higher education, Germany has the fifth highest number of foreign students in the world. The number of Indonesian students in Germany has more than doubled in the last five years. Currently there are 4.176 Indonesians studying in Germany*. Germany offers various forms of research locations: All in all, there are approximately 1.000 public-funded research institutions in Germany, plus research and development centres run by industrial corporations. The annual research budget is about 84 billion euro (www.research-in-germany.de). German universities do not charge tuition fees, neither from German nor from the international students. Some 41 German universities feature in the Global Top 400 of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2016-2017, of which 22 are in the Top 200 and seven in the Top 100 – the highest ranked German Universities being Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen at 30, Heidelberg University at 43, and Technical University of Munich at 46.
(*Data Sources: www.hochschulkompass.de, DAAD International Programs Database, Wissenschaft Weltoffen Kompakt 2017)
Cities don't get much trendier than Berlin, which easily competes with the likes of London and New York in terms of the cool factor. It goes without saying that this tolerant, multicultural and creative city is known for being a great place for students – and it helps that it's also a relatively inexpensive place to live. Top universities in Berlin include three ranked within the world's top 200 in the QS World University Rankings® 2016-2017; these are Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (ranked joint 121st), Freie Universität Berlin (joint 123rd) and Technische Universität Berlin (joint 164th).
Thanks to its world-famous Oktoberfest (a huge annual beer festival), Munich will forever be associated with Germany's beer-brewing tradition. But there's more to this southern German city, which is often voted one of the world's most livable cities. For one thing, Munich is home to the two highest ranked universities in Germany: Technische Universität München – ranked 60th in the world, and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, ranked joint 68th in the world.
A sleek modern financial hub, Munich can be a little on the pricey side. But it won't cost you anything to enjoy the beautiful Bavarian countryside which surrounds it. There's plenty of history to enjoy too, and no visit to München would be complete without a visit to King Ludwig's palaces and grottos.
Despite being part of one of Germany's most densely populated areas, Heidelberg manages to retain a certain quaint rustic charm. It's popular with tourists, who come to see its ancient castle and red-roofed town center. Top universities in Heidelberg include the famous Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, which is Germany's oldest and third-highest ranked university (ranked 72nd in the world). It boasts connections with more than 50 Nobel Prize winners, of whom 10 were (or are) professors at the university.
Cologne is known for its dramatic cathedral, Kölner Dom, its pleasant riverside, and its liberal and tolerant nature. It has a vibrant student community, is peppered with museums and art galleries, and does a good line in beer halls and independent stores, particularly in the Agnesviertel district. Direct trains run to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam, and Luxembourg isn't too far away either, so Cologne could be a good choice for those keen to explore Western Europe. Universities in Cologne include the flagship Universität Köln (University of Cologne), ranked joint 347th in the world, which is Germany's largest and second-oldest university.
The beating heart of Germany's financial and business sectors, Frankfurt is also the home of the European Central Bank. Accordingly, its city center is a mass of gleaming skyscrapers, and its airport is the busiest in continental Europe. However, it's not all work and no play. Frankfurt is known for offering some of the best nightlife in Germany and hosts a number of colorful festivals throughout the year. As for universities in Frankfurt, the most prestigious is Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, ranked joint 264th in the world, and particularly strong in social science subjects.
If you want to study in Germany at undergraduate level, great news! There are no tuition fees at public universities in German for undergraduate students, and this includes domestic, EU and international students. In Baden-Württemberg, in the future, foreign students might be charged tution fees of 1.500 Euro per semester. But that is still being debated.
While tuition costs are free, however, students are required to pay a nominal fee per semester of around €250 (~US$280). This fee covers administration, student support and other costs.
If you want to study in Germany at master's level, you may need to pay tuition fees. This is usually only the case for students who have not completed a related bachelor's program at a university in Germany within the past few years – classed as "non-consecutive" students. Fees for non-consecutive master's degrees vary, but can amount to as much as €10,000 (~US$11,100) per semester.
If you plan to progress from undergraduate study in Germany straight to a related master's program at a public university, fees are likely to remain low or non-existent. To find out more, read our article about the costs of studying in Germany.
The application process for universities in Germany varies depending on a few factors. If you have a European qualification, such as a baccalaureate or A-levels, then you will only need to prove you can speak German (unless you're enrolling in a course taught in English) and you can then apply directly for a university-level course.
Students with qualifications from outside Europe may have to take the Feststellungsprüfung (a qualification assessment examination). They can prepare for this examination in a Studienkolleg ( a foundation course or a preparatory class). High-achieving students may be able to bypass this.
For most subjects, you can apply directly to the international office of the university. Alternatively, you can use uni-assist, a centralized admissions portal for international students. This is one of the services run by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the world's largest funding organization supporting international student and academic mobility.
For some subjects, there is a nationwide cap on the number of students who can enroll. For these subjects (mostly life sciences), students from the EU (plus Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein) need to apply through the Foundation of Higher Education Admission. Students from outside the EU should apply in the normal manner.
The requirements to get a student visa for Germany depend on your country of origin.
Applicants from the EU (and Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein)
You do not need a visa to study in Germany.
Within a week of your arrival you must register with the Einwohnermeldeamt or Bürgeramt (resident's registration office) in your city. You'll need your registration document from your university for this.
If required the Foreigners Office (Ausländerbehörde) will issue a Freedom of Movement certificate for EU-citizens.
You will need to prove you have or will have enough money (see above) and have purchased statutory health insurance if you're under 30. Certain countries have bilateral agreements with Germany, which mean insurance policies in the student's home country will be applicable in Germany.
You need to prove your proficiency in your course's language of instruction.
Applicants from outside the EU
If you are from Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Switzerland or the US, you will not need a visa to enter the country, but you will need to register at the local Residents' Registration Office and the Aliens' Registration Office (Ausländeramt) to obtain a residence permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis).
If you are from Andorra, Brazil, El Salvador, Honduras, Monaco, San Marino or Taiwan you will only need a student visa for Germany if you want to work before or after your degree. You will need to apply for a residence permit.
If you are from any other country, you will need to obtain a visa from your nearest German embassy before you enter Germany, as well as a residence permit. Ensure that you apply for a National Visa for the purpose of study rather than a Schengen Visa, which will only allow you to stay in Germany for three months.
In order to get a residence permit you will need to present confirmation that you've registered at the Residents' Registration Office, proof that you have health cover (your university will help with this), proof of your financial means, your passport (with visa if you need one) and a tenancy agreement which shows you have found somewhere to live. It will be valid for two years, after which time you must get it renewed.
To obtain a visa, you will need to present the same list of documents as for a residence permit. You may also have to show proof that you don't have a criminal record and are free of certain diseases. The specific list will depend on the embassy.
The same language requirements apply as specified in the requirements for EU students. You may also need to produce this evidence at the visa stage.

Discover the land of ideas, Germany! The country today becomes one of the main gate ways for many students to pursue their education in Europe. As the most populous country in the European Union, you must agree that it is a cosmopolitan and tolerant country.
Revolutionary inventions, they called? Here is where it came from: the automobile, the airbag, X-ray technology, Aspirin, the computer, the chip card and the MP3 data compression format. Science and research have a long tradition in Germany and are still highly valued today. Therefore, government and independent organization of German higher education institutions (DAAD) support the mobility of international students to Germany.

We drove across the country in early spring. Full of dreamy notions about seeing America's wild places I bought a truck and trailer. Firsts keep life exciting. In answer to my questions about towing a mechanic advised, "Just put the hammer down and don't look back." I felt confident ignoring him. Another friend didn't want me to go without a handgun, but I didn't shop for weapons either.
We moved to the Hudson Valley because property is affordable, history is apparent in the architecture and the natural surroundings are strikingly beautiful in all seasons. Now that I'm here people ask with a wry smile, "Why Kingston?" I wonder what they know that I don't. I suppose people dream about warmer climates coming out of winter into the rain, bug and mud season. Every place has its foibles. It is still cold.
Towing a large trailer is a memorable experience never to repeat. The truck howled going uphill. I wore ear buds to dampen the roar. RV parks are ugly.My lousy turning radius limited exploration to truck stops and pull through parking spaces. Longing for stretches of straight level highway is as dull as wishing all coffee cups were Styrofoam. The air in Texas and Oklahoma smelled like cows, either their crap or the wafting aroma of steak houses. The air ripe with bovine misery. I suspected five states of no longer providing driver's education. Narrow construction zone cement barriers allowed mere inches on either side of the trailer, some stretching for miles over radically uneven pavement. In Saint Louis a drop in the road shattered a trailer window and my head bashed the headliner. Adrenalin loses its magic with age. Where it used to provide vigor, it now calls for a blood pressure cuff and a nap.
In Missouri a road sign announced that hitting a highway worker would result in a $10,000 fine. I'm not sure what was most offensive, the audacity of naming the price of a life on a road sign or the hideously low value placed on road workers. We passed several enormous crosses that dominated the landscape, large enough to flatten a Walmart. I launched prayers for improved highway etiquette and longevity for roadway crews.
The best sightseeing moment was spotting a roadside sculpture in Texas after replacing the phone that I dropped in a toilet in New Mexico. The original Cadillacs, buried in a field in Amarillo by two artists from San Francisco in 1974, have undergone a surprising transformation. Repainted so often they resembled the texture of tripe in vivid colors. Hundreds of spent cans littered the ground. The field and roadway nearby tagged with initials added color, but the cars held a presence not undone by anonymous contributors wielding cans.
The manly tire store where my phone drowned in their odd little bathroom (decorated in the pastel crafter school) shocked with contradictory merit. The best dinner; a Peruvian inspired restaurant in Springfield, Illinois called Cuzco. Simply amazing food. The restaurant idea and menu inspired by the owner's trip to Machu Picchu. Great story, murals and they served Faun a plate of shredded chicken that made her eyes roll.
We arrived in Kingston on a sunny day. The excitement of seeing our new place dampened somewhat after finding the ton of junk the previous owners left behind. Mold grew on the walls and we discovered a dirt floor in one room when we took up the carpet. Faun lightened the mood by bolting after a large turkey treeing the bird in under a minute. She trotted back tall and proud. Blue stone rock walls zigzag through the woods. Soggy dips in the forest support numerous terrapin.
Abandoned quarries in the neighborhood create ponds for lollygagging carp Woodchucks shriek, which explains why they are also called whistle pigs.
Moving is stressful, although in time routine will replace the upheaval. The travel trailer was a fine idea, only the reality sucked. I could not have known without trying. Videos extolling the virtues of gas guzzling recreational vehicles are made by people trying to sell them. While this might be the worst sales pitch ever, mine is currently available.

As a refresher: The photos and links in each matchup are NOT the only outfits eligible; rather, they're a representative sample of the body of work. Polls close after 24 hours, so if you like to research your choices — on our site, Getty Images, Google, whatever — have at it and just make sure you vote before the game ends. Enjoy.
(2) KATY PERRY vs. (7) LENA DUNHAM
To begin this epic battle between Often Campy And Overdone vs. Often Slouchy and Undone, please drink in this photograph, because we need to talk about the outfit — EASILY the worst thing Lena Dunham wore all year, to me (but it's not in our subscription so we can't reproduce the picture). Obviously there are tiny, tiny hot pants underneath Betty White's blouse, but you have to look REALLY HARD to see them, and the whole effect of pantslessness has to be either deliberate, or oblivious. I'm sure Fug Nation has Thoughts on which is worse. After she wore it, Lena Dunham — who I generally think handles criticism very well — said that people wouldn't have made fun of it if she were shaped differently, and I strenuously object to that view. That outfit is objectively heinous. We are allowed to find your clothes ugly without it having anything to do with your DNA (and for the record, I think Dunham is truly lovely). If Karolina Kurkova showed up wearing it, we would cringe just as hard. Even Betty White obviously dumped it in her giveaway bin. We already have a super hip 91-year old, Lena; we don't need you to be the voice of that generation also.
And this, while neither sleazy nor terrifying, doesn't fit and feels disappointingly stuffy and matronly — better befitting someone sixty-two than twenty-six. It belongs on a reality show called The Notorious M.O.B., about moms who aggressively hit all the groomsmen at their daughter's weddings. It would be on Bravo, and 72 percent of all people featured would have things in their face not found in nature.
Speaking of nature:
We are getting to see rather a lot of what nature put on her chest through that blouse. I can actually make out areola texture.
This fits as well as boots on a grasshopper. My theory on Lena at times is that she is so tightly wired to flaunt people's physical expectations of actresses that she self-sabotages at times, and decides that's making a point, or that it's a sign of not caring. But there's casually not caring, and then there's doing yourself a disservice by not fixing the freaking bodice on your party dress. It's okay to want to look like the best version of yourself, and sometimes, the best version of yourself sets aside a little cash for a really good tailor, and/or takes a good Get A Grip Friend along on your shopping sprees.
That is a lot of dress, and a lot of Heidi hair. It actually fits her up top, but I'm underwhelmed by the ensuing tutu.
Does it change your opinion of this wretched jumpsuit to know what the back looks like?
And then there was her chocolate Golden Globes dress, which I actually liked, but a LOT of Fug Nation completely disagreed with me. And this:
This actually fits, and objectively I don't mind it, but somehow it's so SEVERE on her. She looks taller, sure, but she also looks broader than she is, in a way that creates an illusion that maybe her head shrank. I wanted to love it. I couldn't. Like the Les Miserables movie, but that's a whole other post.
Let's move onto Katy Perry, shall we? Obviously, on-stage, we know she favors Lopezian twinkly nude bodystockings and Extraordinarily Subtle Wings of Metaphor and Bustiers by Ron Obvious.
Off-stage, her tastes don't run much better. That purse should sue. Although perhaps, as we examined in some Round One posts, it's possible Katy just caught a raging case of The Sheers. Here, she certainly doesn't look like she's feeling tip-top as she poses in effect without bottoms, she spent a good portion of Coachella under the influence of transparency, and this was a clear case of The Breakup Sheers (a less catching but still unpleasant strain).
This appears to have been The Sheers with associated high fevers, so that in the delirium the sufferer develops extremely fancy Xena: Warrior Princess delusions.
This is practically refreshing by comparison. Not a good sign.
And then there was this:
Here's the thing: It's not a good dress, Katy. It wasn't worth the squeeze.
This was a hilarious use of assets. Not that I wouldn't mind a piece of them for myself.
And then this was back to a toxic cocktail of terribleness. Oh, Katy. We know your split with Russell Brand was tough, but you didn't have to give him ALL the mirrors in the divorce.

(3) NICKI MINAJ vs. (6) LINDSAY LOHAN On the surface, other than occasionally having bad instincts about what to do with their hair, these two don't seem to have that much in common. Lindsay spent much of the year slinking around airports looking like the head of Smokey the Bear's arson-prevention biker gang, and lurking the Los Angeles streets in dark ensembles like this:
Same coat, but with thigh boots and a hat you'd find on an unsubtle P.I. She wore this to dinner with her lawyer. I feel like, as her lawyer, that is where you run away, stick her with the check, and change your phone number, because this client does not take you seriously. Conversely, Nicki likes psychedelic fringe and bras that look like the junk drawer in Martha Stewart's secondary crafting table, and full get-ups that look like she was assaulted by a Harajuku toy store. She likes it bright, is what I'm saying.
Sometimes I wonder if we'll find out, in a decade, that Pat Field was secretly styling her this whole time. But let's see if we can find a common thread here — or threads, as it were. Behold, Lindsay in a suit:
Tight, slightly shrunken, like she showed up to court wearing something else and they had to hand her this from the emergency stash — the legal equivalent of restaurants that keep dinner jackets to zazz up their slouchier customers. Nicki in a suit:
Weirdly, the suit is the least of the problems. My issue is the hair, shoes, and makeup, and also how freaking BORED she looks. But at least it fits. Lindsay in fur:
She wore this to an amfAR party at Fashion Week, which she allegedly crashed. Did somebody tell her the party was on Hoth?
Speaking of Hoth:
They have the WEIRDEST buskers in the parks there. Next we have Lindsay in shorts:
Or "shorts," because there is only maybe a quarter-inch of inseam here, and so little fabric that they might as well be denim panties.
I never thought I would look at those shorts and think, "What coverage!" Then again, the rest of her looks like watching a volcano erupt while on psychedelics.
Full, thick fade makeup, an outfit that's impossible to sit down in, and completely impractical massive heels… yep, sounds like Coachella to me.
I HOPE Nicki Minaj wears this to coachella. She could sell each skirt tier to people who forgot blankets. Lindsay, in her red-carpet formalwear:
To me, this says, "No one will give us clothes and she's spending all her money on attorneys."
Yes, Nicki did wear some dresses this year, but let's face it: On a red carpet, she prefers to look like a cross between Christina Aguilera and The Village People.
Or the production accountant from a touring performance of Cats.
Is it as bad as it could have been? No. Is it good? Dear lord, no. This was her big moment to scrub up and get taken seriously, and THAT is what she chose? Can she fire all her people and hire, like, the Elder Fannings?
I don't really know how you wear satin like this — my suspicion: You just don't — but I am seeing way more than I should here.
Then again: Ditto.

How I risked my life kicking the drug gangs out of my club, by Ministry of Sound boss James Palumbo
An entrepreneur with close links to Peter Mandelson today reveals how Class A drugs worth more than £50,000 used to be sold in his London nightclub each weekend.
Writing exclusively in The Mail on Sunday's Review section, James Palumbo says that after opening the Ministry of Sound in 1991, he routinely went to work there wearing a bulletproof jacket, and carrying spray gas and a stun gun to defend himself from gun-toting dealers.
Palumbo, a 46-year-old multi-millionaire and the Old Etonian son of property tycoon Lord Palumbo, recounts several close shaves with gangsters, who for a time seized control of the club.
James Palumbo's drugs-free Ministry of Sound
He writes: 'At the height of its popularity, Ecstasy sold for £15 a pop and some clubbers took two, three or even four pills in one session.
'The drug profits were astronomical – I estimated they totalled more than £50,000 a weekend. I was trying to run a legitimate business in an atmosphere of lawlessness and intimidation.' He salvaged the club after tackling the dealers head-on with the help of the police. He later boasted it was the 'only drug-free club in Britain'.
Palumbo retains a majority stake in the business, which has clubs in London, Egypt and Malaysia and was named Britain's 406th wealthiest person with a £130million fortune.
In 1996, he gave his friend Lord Mandelson the use of a chauffeur-driven car for the following year's General Election campaign.
Bouncers turned my club into the Ministry of DRUGS... until I risked my life to drive them out
I was braced for trouble I knew was coming. There I was, an ex-public school City boy, wearing a bulletproof jacket, tooled up with spray gas and a stun device, cagily monitoring the door of the Ministry of Sound, the hugely successful South London club I ran.
Having just fired the club's security staff for drug-dealing, I was waiting for them to retaliate, as street law dictated they must. Colossal drug profits were at stake and the organised crime families who 'run' nightclub doors weren't used to dissent.
We were the first club who had tried to take them on. The police had supplied us with a panic alarm and we were told armed units would respond within minutes at the first sign of trouble.
The biggest threat was a drive-by shooting. This might not even involve one of the old door team but some hothead they put up to it.
Street law rotates around the words 'respect' and 'disrespect'. The 'badder' you are, the more time you spend in prison, the greater the 'respect' due to you. According to this code for morons, the avenger of the 'disrespect' we had shown the door team would gain instant street credibility.
I don't mind admitting I was terrified as I warily eyed passing cars. Funny, I reflected grimly, how a 'security' team could make you feel so insecure.
The Ministry of Sound opened in 1991. I had worked in the City after leaving Eton and put up £500,000 for the venture. I wasn't so interested in the dance-music scene, but it was beginning to take off in Britain and the project seemed a sound commercial proposition.
It proved to be the case. We turned a disused warehouse in London's Elephant and Castle into a superclub, the first of its kind and one of the most famous and successful in the world. In those early days it would make about £40,000 in a weekend from ticket and bar sales.
But this figure was dwarfed by what dealers inside made from drugs. At the height of its popularity, Ecstasy sold for £15 a pop and some clubbers took two, three or even four pills in one session. With more than 2,000 people in the club on a Saturday night, the drug profits were astronomical - I estimated they totalled about £50,000 a weekend.
And there wasn't anything club owners could do about it. Why? Because Security would kill you.
Drugs in clubs were controlled by Security or the door team, who either worked for themselves under a head doorman or, more likely, for the local crime family controlling drugs in the area.
Lone crusader: James Palumbo
We had a team of 20: eight on the door, four on 'search' and the rest on the exits and dotted around the club. As with the majority of door teams, most were ex-cons who typically had day jobs as 'debt collectors'.
A lot of them were amateur kickboxers or bodybuilders. They were all heavily built and included both white and black guys.
I wasn't responsible for hiring our lot, and it was never completely clear who was: you didn't get these people from your local recruitment agency. Perhaps your DJ would know a doorman at another club and he would offer to sort out a team for you, or your bar manager would have a mate from Essex who could help out.
Drug-dealing in giant warehouse clubs such as the Ministry of Sound in the Nineties was a complicated business. Since the door team controlled the search it was easy enough to get drugs in. But thereafter the dealing became a sophisticated ballet of carriers, lookouts, enforcers and dealers. Taking £50,000 in cash, mainly in £5, £10 and £20 notes, needed careful management.
The real issue, however, was the door team's total denial of any involvement even in the face of incontrovertible evidence. These protestations of innocence quickly turned into indignation and threats.
On one occasion I spotted a dealer by a fire escape. I ordered one of the doormen called 'the Colonel' - so named because he had apparently once marched all night through a wood to dispose of a corpse - to search the man. The Colonel put him up against a wall and frisked him thoroughly.
'No, Boss, he's clean,' he said. I stretched out an arm and pulled an enormous bag of Ecstasy from the dealer's top breast pocket.
'Oh Boss, my fingers must've brushed past that. On my child's head, it wasn't there,' came the explanation.
On another occasion I called Security to a dealer and carrier I'd busted on the dancefloor. But instead of apprehending the culprits, the head doorman and a henchman bundled me into a small storeroom just off the dancefloor.
'No, Boss,' said the head doorman, 'you're confused. The lights. They play tricks, you know. Nothing's going on.'
The storeroom was maybe 30ft square. The doormen were both 18st and built like trucks. They had closed the door. What was I supposed to do?
Every so often, however, they would hand in a dealer - a minnow, not working for them, who had somehow managed to slip through the net. The token bust. The sacrificial lamb.
There was a shout and the sound of a scuffle one night when I was standing at the club's entrance. It was 3am on a Sunday in mid-winter and freezing cold. Security brought a drug dealer to me.
'We found him in the VIP area, Boss,' said the head of Security, 'with this.' He held up a bag of weed and pills.
The front-door team came over to join in the kill. I looked at the bag. Was he a big or small-time dealer? Small-time, it seemed.
More doormen flooded out of the club. It was the ritual. A dealer's arrest was a spectator sport, like an execution in bygone days. 'Don't call the Fuzz, don't call the Fuzz, don't call the Fuzz,' the dealer pleaded.
By now a dozen Security had formed a loose cordon around him. All eyes were on me. 'Show me,' I said.
The head doorman turned out his pockets and handed me a small cash roll. 'Pathetic,' I thought. 'This guy really is small-time.'
'Boss?' the head doorman asked. 'Don't do it,' the dealer pleaded. 'I've already been nicked. I can't face doing time. Please.'
The Ministry of Sound's famous logo
Nobody spoke, although the collective question 'will he do it?' hung in the air. I nodded. Minutes later the police arrived. The dealer was arrested, he hung his head and disappeared off in the back of a police car.
A few weeks later he was standing on a platform, but he wasn't planning to catch the train. I'm told his death was instantaneous. It was sad but I didn't regret handing him over to the police. People who deal drugs know what they are getting into. It is a nasty business.
Over two years, the number of drugs-related incidents and run-ins with the door staff stacked up. I was trying to run a legitimate business in an atmosphere of lawlessness and intimidation, and it was wearing me down.
The final straw was the theft of the club's takings in 1993 after a particularly busy weekend. Although I could never prove it, I'm certain it went something like this.
The club closed at 6am on Sunday, the cleaners got to work, the takings were being counted in the cash office, the door team locked the front entrance.
Suddenly there were men in the alleyway behind the club donning balaclavas, shotguns in hand. Seconds later, the cash office door was kicked in, the bookkeeper overwhelmed, tied up and the money stolen. They were in and out in minutes.
It was obviously the door team because nobody would have dared trespass on their patch. At least they had the decency to wear balaclavas.
At this point I knew I had to act, for three reasons. First, drug-dealing is wrong and I detest it. Second, it was affecting my business. And finally, I had simply had enough of being kicked around.
My solution was to call in the police, some of whom I'd got to know since starting the club, and over several days they rigged the club with cameras and microphones.
Then, over a single night the following weekend, they struck. Plainclothes police with marked banknotes infiltrated the venue; surveillance and arrest teams waited outside.
As the club swung into life and the dealing started, the drug sales were covertly recorded. The carriers left with the marked notes; dealers were followed home; lookouts and enforcers noted and described. In one swoop the police made a dozen arrests and even identified some of the dealers' sources.
The reckoning with Security was quick. 'I'm shocked,' I told the head doorman and his sidekick. 'This was organised dealing. Obviously it had nothing to do with you. But how could you let this happen? The police are all over us. You've got to go.'
Over the next few weeks the club's front door became a fortress. In keeping with the law of the street, I expected a revenge attack from my former employees every time the club opened.
The problem of finding a new team to 'hold' the door was solved by importing one from Birmingham. No London team would take on the job or could be trusted to do it. So each Friday night, a minibus would arrive from Birmingham with doormen who had no connection with London crime gangs, and they'd go back up the motorway on Sunday morning.
But when trouble eventually came it had nothing to do with the original door team, who probably decided it wasn't worth it.
Hearing of our problems, a young wannabe gangster decided to test our mettle. He managed to get into the courtyard in front of the club and swaggered up to the main doors. Not liking the look of him, I had him pulled to one side. Instantly he pulled back his jacket to reveal a gun in his waistband. 'I'm coming in,' he said.
My stomach loosened and legs turned to jelly. I was certain something hideous was going to happen. And my bulletproof jacket was useless. He was a few feet away and could shoot me in the head.
Everyone froze. 'You can't come in with that,' I said stupidly. Ignoring me, he proceeded to walk into the club. Just as he was through the front doors, I said: 'OK, now you're in.'
He about-turned and said: 'I'm going to my car, then I'll be back.'
And that was it. He sauntered out of the courtyard and disappeared into the night before the police could catch him. But he'd made his point; he'd got over the threshold of the club and was now due 'respect'.
They say the best way to recover from trauma is to share the experience with others. After the drugs dramas at Ministry of Sound, it became one of the cleanest clubs in London but I still felt like the survivor of a bad accident who must unburden himself.
I was also angry. I had risked my life to save my business but most other clubs were turning a blind eye to drug-dealing out of fear and apathy. They also, I think dishonestly, stated that stringent anti-drug measures were in place. This risked bringing ruin on the industry.
A typical example was a club that put up enormous signs saying 'Drug-dealers will be arrested' and 'Say no to drugs'. A local MP visited the place and issued a statement along the lines of: 'I'm satisfied the drugs situation is under control. I saw for myself everything management is doing to combat this menace.'
Yet over the years there were two drug-related deaths at that club. One was of a young man found dead in a fire exit.
The collective hypocrisy of the industry led to a wall of silence and denial. It was obvious to everyone what was going on but club-owners continued to insist that everything was above-board.
And police didn't have powers summarily to shut offending venues. Even after several drugs deaths, clubs would use legal loopholes to defy police attempts to rescind their licences.
It was at this time I met Tom Sackville, the Minister at the Home Office responsible for club licensing. He had been fed a lot of hogwash by the industry, but decided to come down to see me in South London.
I explained to Tom, a clever and courageous politician, what was going on. The resulting legislation gave the police summary powers to close drug-infested venues. Ministry of Sound was cited in the parliamentary debate as the example of best practice.
It will never be possible to stop drug-dealing in clubs. But you can stop organised dealing by the door team. In fact, you have to.
While this was going on, there was no point in keeping the venue clean, doing the stock-take or preparing financial records. The sense of terror each weekend was all-pervading and paralysing. Drugs equals money equals death.
Ministry of Sound is now part of a global multimedia group that has clubs in London, Egypt and Malaysia, offices in London, Sydney, Berlin and New York and a range of lifestyle products. We are the largest independent record company in the world.
I no longer run the business, although I maintain a majority stake in it, and I now visit the club maybe twice a year. My bulletproof jacket-wearing days are over, although the memory is as sharp as the winter's cold on the front door.
I drew on the experience to write my new novel, Tomas, the message of which is that you only live once so you have to be prepared to take a few risks.
Over the years many of our competitors have closed due to poor management or leases ending. There are now countrywide doormen-registration schemes. The dance and Ecstasy craze is over; the new laws have had their effect.
But I suspect that lurking beneath the surface something similar prevails. And somewhere this weekend someone is being told, 'No, Boss, you're confused, nothing's going on.'

Winter Solstice Party
Let's Celebrate the Shortest Day of the Year!
Dec. 21 marks the shortest, darkest day of 2013. It's the Winter solstice, which signifies a turning point in the year. From here on out, the nights will grow shorter and the days longer. We think this is as good a reason as any to celebrate and host a party.
The theme of the party: a cozy Winter night. Invite your friends over for an evening of comfort and warmth. String fairy lights everywhere, and light as many candles as you can. After all, the Winter solstice marks the rebirth of the sun and the reemergence of daylight, so it's only appropriate to celebrate with lights! Play calming folk music like The Wailin' Jennys in the background, and bring out the playing cards and dominoes for entertainment. Serve seasonal dishes to celebrate the glorious Winter season.
Start the night off with hot mulled wine sweetened just a tad with vanilla.
Let guests help themselves to a heartwarming and slightly spicy slow-cooker taco soup.
Balance the warm flavors of the wine and soup with a crisp kale and chard salad.
Finish the night off with a rustic pear galette.

Nutrition and health declarations on foods can help consumers onto the right path when buying healthy food for the family – or can they? Scientists from Aarhus University have investigated.
2013.08.12 |
It is supposed to be so easy to buy food. Many food products have labels declaring the contents of, for example, fat, fibre or vitamins. The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration even employs the Keyhole label that combines several nutritional declarations in one label.
But what do the consumers say? Do they understand and use the nutrition and health claims when they choose the products to go into the shopping trolleys? The scientists from Aarhus University were commissioned by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration to examine this issue. The results of their research are published in a report by the DCA – Danish Centre for Food and Agriculture, University of Aarhus.
- Eating habits and food choices are a hot topic in the political debate. Diet and eating habits have an impact on the incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. On the political side, there is a desire to guide consumer choice of food in a healthier direction, says one of the authors of the report, research assistant Kristina Aachmann from the Centre for Research on Customer Relations in the Food Sector (MAPP Centre) at Aarhus University.
We are creatures of habit
The results of the study show, among other things, that consumers do things by habit.
- Food shopping is very much influenced by habit. Although consumers perceive health as an important issue when choosing foods and perceive foods bearing health claims as being healthier, it does not necessarily sway them into buying more of this kind of labelled product. A number of other properties such as taste, price, brand and packaging, also influence our choices, explains one of the co-authors of the report Professor Klaus G. Grunert from the MAPP Centre.
Nutrition and health
The study focused on certain groups of foods, namely dairy products, breakfast cereals, ready-made meals, soft drinks and oils and fats. The scientists examined consumer response to nine different nutrition claims and five health claims.
Nutrition claims are messages that indicate that a food has particular beneficial nutritional properties due to the presence or absence of energy, nutrients or other substances. An example is the common Nordic Keyhole brand which aims to help consumers choose healthier foods. Other examples include expressions such as "sugar-free" or "low-fat".
Health claims tell you about the link between a food or its constituents and health. There are two types of health claims. One type is related to the effect of a substance on the body's physical or mental functions or weight control. An example of this is "Calcium is important for the development and maintenance of bones."
The second type of health claim describes or concerns the potential reduction of the risk of contracting a particular disease. An example here is "Contains cholesterol-reducing plant sterols. A high blood cholesterol level is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease. "
In general, consumers have a medium to good understanding of nutrition claims, but a significantly poorer understanding of health claims. A large proportion of consumers even believe that it is industry and not the authorities that are responsible for the health claims.
Understanding – and misunderstanding – the Keyhole symbol
Scientists from the MAPP Centre had a special focus on the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration's Keyhole label. Previous studies have shown that more than 90 per cent of consumers know this symbol. However, when it comes down to understanding exactly what the symbol means, it is a different story.
Consumers understand the general message that Keyhole products are healthier, while the finer detail is apparently less well known. Few consumers know, for example, all the nutrients covered by the label. Thus, 60 per cent of the consumers surveyed knew one of the nutrients included, but only 10 per cent could name fat, fibre, wholegrain, sugar and salt as also being included in the label.
Some consumers misunderstand the concept of the Keyhole label and associate it with organic farming, additives, calories /energy content, or environmental impact.
The study saw a deliberate use of Keyhole products in half of the cases and the Keyhole symbol was the claim most often found on the products selected by consumers. The results also indicate that a certain section of consumers actively select or deselect keyhole-labelled products.
Room for improvement
In general, nutrition and health claims seem not to have any large effect on consumers' selection of groceries, which is largely influenced by habit. The survey results do not show, however, whether consumers are actually aware of the symbol at the point of purchase.
The scientists therefore do not know whether a possibly small effect of the label is because it is not noticed or whether it is because consumers do not attach any great importance to it when choosing products.
- More information on this would be very useful as consumer awareness of different labels may be affected by the design of the packaging – the size and positioning of the label, for example, says Kristina Aachmann.
Do you know your Keyhole label?

For a dog owner, there's hardly anything scarier than hearing that their pet is suffering from cancer. It's one of the hardest things your pet could go through and dealing with it takes time, patience and professional care. The best way to make sure your dog has the best care is to recognize the symptoms early and inform your vet.
This isn't always easy, because sometimes the symptoms could be caused by a different disease. However, if you notice that something is wrong – talk to your vet as soon as possible.
Changes in your dog's mouth
The signs of cancer usually appear only when it's too late. Lumps and other changes in and on your dog's body, usually appear only when some type of cancer has advanced quite a lot. On the other hand, by examining your dog's mouth, you can notice that something's wrong even before the symptoms appear.
If there are unusual lumps or other changes in your dog's mouth, it might be time to talk to your vet. Strange odors or tenderness are both signs of cancer, but they could also be a sign of many other problems, so don't panic prematurely.
Coughing could be a symptom of many diseases. Some are quite easy to treat and manage, while others could be very dangerous. When it comes to coughing, it's not always easy to determine what's causing it.
If the coughing is persistent and it doesn't seem to be affected by the changes in the environment you need to take notice. If this happens even when there are no smells that could trigger it, and you keep your home well ventilated, ask the vet about testing.
Mood changes
This is probably the hardest symptom to detect. It's often a sign that the dog is experiencing pain and discomfort. The biggest problem is that it takes a bit of time for the owners to notice it.
If your dog is usually playful and enjoys the company of other dogs or people, and this isn't the case anymore – consult your vet. The reason behind it might just be aging, but it could also be more than that. The same rules apply if the dog has become restless and hard to manage – it might be because of some more serious health problem.
Weight loss
Changes in or loss of appetite usually take a long time to manifest even if you know your dog well. One of the ways you can keep an eye on your dog's diet is to make it consistent. Order quality food, such as Royal Canin dog food, in large bulks and create a feeding schedule.
If the changes in your dog's appetite and feeding habits aren't related to the type of food or the changes in temperature, there's something more sinister at play and you need to investigate it further. This is especially true if your dog is eating normally, but is still losing weight.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that bleeding is a serious symptom and shouldn't be taken lightly. It's not always a sign of cancer, but when it's sudden and unexpected, it could be. If your dog is bleeding without any noticeable wounds or injuries take it to the vet immediately.
On the other hand, if your dog has some smaller injuries, which can sometimes happen if your dog is free to run outside, and the bleeding doesn't stop after a while – take it to the vet.
Prevention and early treatment are the best ways to handle cancer in dogs, so you should pay attention to the symptoms before they become too serious.

The Whitehall Central School District has adequate internal controls over payroll, according to an audit released last week by the state Comptroller's Office.
Auditors examined payroll reports, time sheets, claims forms and salary notices to determine if employees were paid according to their contracts.
"We found the district established adequate internal controls over payroll. District officials implemented specific procedures to ensure that individuals were paid at their approved salaries and wages and received only the benefits to which they were entitled. We also determined that the various control procedures that the district had established over the payroll process provided adequate supervision and oversight," auditors concluded.
The audit, which was conducted in April, covered the period of July 1, 2011, to March 31, 2013.
Auditors randomly reviewed the payroll records of ten employees during that period, as well as a judgmental sample of the ten highest paid employees, and found that all employees received the payment and benefits to which they were entitled based on their contracts.
Auditors also found that all health insurance premium records and separation payments were calculated and distributed correctly.
District Superintendent James Watson told the Board of Education Monday he was pleased with the results.
"It's nice to have a clean audit," he said.
Education of Homeless Children
The Board of Education approved a federally-mandated policy related to the education of homeless children.
Under the policy, the district is required to identify all homeless students and ensure that there are no barriers to their enrollment in school.
The district must also designate a homeless liaison, which in Whitehall will be the high guidance counselor.
That liaison must ensure that the transportation of homeless students are met and must report each student's name, grade level and nighttime residence to the state Education Department.
Any child identified as homeless is also eligible for the district's free meals program and does not have to complete an application.
Every district in the state is required to institute a homeless children policy under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act.
The law aims to ensure that homeless children have the same access to education and other resources and services as their peers.
Employee Restructuring
District officials restructured a number of positions following the resignation of Colleen Jennings, who had served as coordinator of special education services and recently accepted a similar position with the Granville Central School District.
The board elected to abolish that position, as well as the position of assistant principal and then appointed Gregg Chappell to the newly created CSE Director/Assistant Principal.
Chappell, who had served as assistant principal, was appointed to a three-year probationary appointment and will receive an additional $7,000 in salary.
The board also created a part-time Dean of Students position, which had been eliminated when Chappell was appointed to assistant principal last year.
Music teacher Chris Palmer was appointed to fill that position and will receive a stipend of $2,500.
Watson said some of Palmer's teaching responsibilities will fall on Lauren Gailor who had previously been appointed as a part-time music teacher but will now be full time. She will receive a salary of $34,272.
Watson spoke fondly of Jennings, who was hired as a guidance counselor in 2003 and worked her way up to CSE coordinator.
"We certainly appreciate all her efforts," Watson said.
The board also appointed Justin Culligan as the varsity track coach and Pam Putorti as varsity softball coach.
Search for new Superintendent
Watson said the board has selected a new superintendent and the candidate has accepted the offer, but the district is waiting until contract negotiations are finalized before announcing a formal decision.
"It's our belief that we should get the contract done first," he said. "The position has been offered and accepted."
Attorneys for both the district and the candidate are working on the details of the contract and it could be finalized by next week.
Watson, who announced his retirement earlier this spring after nearly three decades as superintendent, plans to remain on the job through the end of October to help with the transition.
The next Board of Education meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 16.

I stand entirely corrected when it comes to Scandinavian cuisine – I have gone from a total "hater" to someone who LOVES the cuisine. I am always looking for excuses to visit Pläj, one of the best Scandinavian restaurants in San Francisco. I have also (somewhat) successfully converted some my foodie Asian friends who were convinced, like I was, that the cuisine is bland and horrible, by taking them the restaurant. Yes, we suffered from a superiority complex and we were missing out because of it. I suspect eating IKEA's meatballs had something to do with perpetuating our biases. Real Swedish meatballs are amazing and a dish that you cannot stop eating. Yes, compared to the food I cook, Scandinavian food is simple. But it isn't without immense flavor. Scandinavian cooking and ingredients are truly unique and the cuisine is deeply influenced by what nature has "forced" upon the people of the region. Long, dark winters along the Arctic Circle have greatly influenced the cuisine of Scandinavia from Viking times to the current renaissance of "New Nordic" cuisine. Foraging in bountiful times, preserving food for survival during icy winters, a deep connection to the landscape and environment, and a celebration of design, all give an insight into the culture, history and cuisine of the region. And suddenly, all food Scandinavian is receiving it's rightly deserved global acclaim. Meanwhile, I am obsessed with "The Scandinavian Kitchen" cookbook by Camilla Plum and working my way through it. Perhaps a vacation to a Scandinavian country is next. 🙂 The mustard sauce below is a bit of a revelation. We taught the recipe at a recent cooking class for high-schoolers. I brought the leftovers home and refused to share them with anyone. It's a great sauce to have lying around in the refrigerator as it revives even the most boring of dinners. Since we are on the topic of Scandinavian Food – check out some of our previous blog posts on all things delicious from Scandinavia Smorrebord – we love open faced sandwiches and if you do a search on these sandwiches, you will be truly inspired. Känckebrod – crispy crackers that you won't be able to stop eating Swedish Meatballs – a classic! Creamed Potatoes and Cucumber Salad – sides that work with a good many dishes – Scandinavian or not Hardtack – another delicious cracker Food Adventure to the Nordic House in Berkeley for a yummy roast beef sandwich And of course our Scandinavian Bento was pretty amazing and beautiful – do check it out Hovmästarsås (Swedish Mustard-Dill Sauce) (recipe from the "The Tasting Table", makes approximately 1 cup) Enjoy this dill-infused mustard with Ärtsoppa (pea soup), on smorrebrod (open-faced sandwiches) or as a condiment with gravlax (cured salmon), simply grilled or roasted fish or boiled potatoes. What you will need:
- ¼ cup whole grain mustard
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup chopped dill
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1½ tablespoons sugar
- 1½ tablespoons dry mustard powder
How to make it: Mix all ingredients together. Taste, adjust seasoning with more salt, sugar or vinegar as needed.

We've downloaded our trail already and can't wait to get started!

Ajaj, did you ever get your Lincoln running, I changed the fuel pump and still doesn't want to start!
My 2001 LS cranks for a bit and then fires. No big, but it got worse and began to take long to fire. I replace the fuel pump, and it fires right away. After filling the tank for first time since replacement, it's back to firing right away. Change fuel pump relay. Next guess is an injector that leaks or bleeds off pressure???

Sreeni Gangasani. Chair of AAPI Convention, provided an overview of the upcoming AAPI Convention in Atlanta, GA, and urged all to join in to experience a historic at the next annual convention.
