The latest in a series of occasional posts on books I didn't finish and why I didn't finish them
Title: Carpool Diem. By Nancy Star. Grand Central/5 Spot, 326 pp., $13.99, paperback.
What it is: A fizzy novel about a turbocharged executive who transfers her aggression to her daughter's soccer games when she loses her job.
How much I read: About 70 pages: the first nine chapters, the last few pages, and some other parts.
Why I stopped reading: This lighter-than-light novel might be best read in an SUV full of empty Gatorade bottles while you wait for your daughter to finish practice. I thought it might be fun to review during soccer season but decided I was out of my depth when I realized that I didn't know when soccer season was. (Memo to parents: Is it still soccer season? Or is it lacrosse season now? Or maybe hockey?) You could imagine Barnes and Noble displaying this one next to Sophie Kinsella's books, maybe with a sign reading, "What if Shopaholic was a New Jersey soccer mom?"
Best line in what I read: The manic newsletters that the obsessive, semi-deranged soccer coach Winslow West sends to team parents. Here's a sample paragraph: "Aggressive Play Reminder: I know young athletes tend to think that when a ref shows them a yellow card it is a warning to be feared. I urge you instead to view the yellow card as a form of tribute to aggressive play! The next time a ref shows you a yellow card, accept it as the compliment it really is!!!" And another: "Notification of next year's team selection will be on the 25th of June. Players who are moved down to the B team, the Asteroids, will receive a call from the B coach, Gerri Picker. But do not despair! Any player who is moved down from our Elite team to the B team will have the opportunity, over the next season, to work hard and climb back up if she so desires!!!" And then there's my favorite: "Practice will continue to be held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays throughout the summer, from eight forty-five to twelve-fifteen and four forty-five to six thirty, irregardless of the weather!" Love that "irregardless."
Worst line in what I read: The strained humor in parts of an epilogue called "Five Warning Signs That Your Kid's Coach Is Crazy." One sign: "Uses a ball pump as a key chain."

View the complete recipe
This is Mexican Flan, my favorite dessert, thought your GM Souffles were the ultimate but this will be on the list for dessert this week
Hey Chef John! Do you have any substitution ideas for us lactose intolerant people? I would love to make this dessert!
Sorry, I've never used any lactose-free products!
Could I substitute Turbinado sugar for regular sugar?
Hello! I was wondering if the "Grand Marnier" is necessary.. because im only 15, can't get it haha!
Dang this looks delicious and it does indeed bring back fond memories of the flan that I'd often indulge in after a full meal along Calle Ocho in Little Havana.
And of course we all know that Little Havana happens to be in Miami.
But what folks may not know is that the reason why Cubans love Miami is because it is so close to the United States.
I'll be sure to give this a try!
@Elenista: He said you can use Vanilla instead if you dont have Grand Marnier.
ffflllaaaannnnnnn!!! Flan is truly, truly, TRULY one of my very favorite treats!! And, I had no idea it could be done so easily and with such a minimum of ingredients! You just totally made may day and also are forcing me to go buy ramekins! ;) I usually indulge in a flan anytime I pass by a certain Mexican place that sells a decent version--and now I can make em at home (my waistline will sooooo suffer lol) I must try this over and over again! <3 <3 <3 TY Chef!!!!!!! :)
the video cut off for me at 3:07. I have no idea why it is so short. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!! This is so suspenseful!
Why dry caramel technique vs using a sugar water solution cooked down to caramel state? Just time saved?
Seems to get a deeper color and flavor that way for whatever reason. Maybe some gets burnt and mixing into the lighter parts.
Does this just taste like flan? Or how is it different
Try using soy cream, it should work.
For extra sex appeal, try buttering the OUTSIDE of a small SS bowl just larger than your flan. Then chill it. Drizzle the left over caramel over the bowl to create a "bird cage". Carefully remove and place over the flan.
My wife makes flan frequently, but she is very careful. Hot caramel is truly dangerous. If you slosh a half a cup over the edge of the pan and onto your bare feet, you're gonna' visit the hospital.
What's not to like about having sugar and fat be your primary ingredients!?!?
Is this recipe able to be halved, or will it screw up the turn out ?
Respect as always.
Two questions:
1. Remekin size
2. Silk pad?
but presentation skills, just amazing!
This would be the perfect dessert for my grand-daughter's 15th birthday--such a sweet girl.
Can I make this a day in advance, keeping it refrigerated, etc?
Yes, you can make a day ahead!
The ramekins are 7oz i believe. Silpat is a non-stick baking mat!
You are so great Chef John. I am fairly new to your sit/blog but I love it so much its my second homepage tab. Thank you!
I'm inspired!
I'm going to steep a cinnamon stick in the milk. I will stick a thin slice of apple to the caramel in the bottom of the ramekin. Once done I will brulee a fresh slice of apple to the custard and then brulee the apple!
ok so just before you cut away from the sugar melting it looked as tho jabba the hut showed up in the pan....just saying...
I placed a 'very thinly sliced' peice of Starfruit on top of the carmal, before pouring in the custard! The presentation, with the added sugar crown and sugar coated raspberries on the side was unbelievable!
I placed a very thinly sliced piece of Starfruit on top of the caramel, before filling with the custard. The presentation, with the added sugar crown and sugar coated raspberries on the side was unbelievably amazing!
When I made this, the sugar bruleed at the bottom of the dish. What did I do wrong?
bruleed? what do you mean?
can i leave out the Grand Marnier?? because i cant get it in my country!! chef john you are simply amazing btw.
Is Grand Marnier a ''must have'' ingrediens? i'm just asking because i don't have Grand Marnier. Can I use something else as a substitute?
Hello Chef!Thank your for this amazing recipe!It's possible to use Cointreau instead Grand Marnier?
By bruleed I mean hard (like the top of a creme brulee)
i don't know what i did wrong, but my creme wasn't silkysmooth but more like very fine cottage cheese with a strong egg taste - help?
That only means one thing, it was cooked too long.
Holy wow. Watched the vid, checked the pantry and whipped this up last night. Couldn't be any easier. Here's a tip....make the custard first, then melt - and do not burn - the sugar. Patience ia a virtue. Easy does it. Even did the artsy-sugar thing. My wife was freaked out...it's her favorite desert and in 29 years of marriage she's only ever had it in a restaurant. Now I have become a slave to her desert desires, and, hey after 29 years, that's ok by me. Chef John....YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
I did everything perfectly.. and let it cool to room temp.. put in fridge for 4 or 5 hours.. and yet almost all of the caramelized sugar was as hard as a rock and stayed in the ramekin. There was none spreading all over the top and sides like the video.
I had a feeling this would happen... what should I have done? What did you do Gsweb8?
Hi Chef
I have NEVER met a flan I didn't like, so making it myself with you as the guide was a no-brainer. Made this on Friday and it was a big success. My caramel did seizing a bit in the ramekins so I didn't get as much liquid as you did, but the custard itself was fantastic. My wife loved and she isn't even all that fond of flan. And I'm sure you will be pleased to know that not only did I make the flan using your recipe, even the creme fraiche was made 2 days ago per your recipe. My kitchen is turning into a "inspired by Chef John" kitchen because I made your famous chimichuri sauce last night.
Enjoy the vacation.
Hello Glista. Chef John is away on a well deserved vacation and I'll be answering questions meanwhile. From what you described, it sounds like you might have overcooked the caramel in the pan. If not, it helps to briefly dip the ramekins in hot water right before releasing the flan. The water will help melt the caramel just enough to loosen it up.
Wonderful recipe. Everything came out perfectly, except my caramel tasted bitter.
The only thing I can think of is that I burned the caramel in the sauce pan. Any thoughts?
Hello Erik. Chef John is away on a well deserved vacation and I'll be answering questions meanwhile. I think you are right. It is possible that you have slightly burned and overcooked the caramel sauce in the pan. That would explain the bitter taste of caramel. Give it another try!
seems you used a tad bit more of the G Marnier than 1/2 teaspoon.
Made it for Easter (with the 1/2 t.) and everybody loved it. Pretty astounded on the ease of preparation. Thanks for presenting it!
how would one turn creme caramel into a citron (lemon) creme caramel?
I have never been intimidated by anything as much as I was caramelizing sugar for the first time but the dessert was amazing! I will definitely do this again.
Hey Chef John, I was wondering if there was a substitute for orange cognac.
Can I use table cream instead of creme freich?
Chef John, what is the substitute of crème fraiche? Greetings from Poland! :)
sour cream will work too
I don't like the taste of sour cream and I find the greek yogurt has a very similar texture without the sour taste so would I be able to use plain greek yogurt as a substitute for crème fraiche?
Should be okay, just lower fat, so not sure about the texture.
Chef John,
I am trying to make bigger portion (2x) and in big pyrex bowl. Should I increase temperature? I tested and while center was perfect edges were little bit crumbly.
Btw. combining it with sweet muscat wine works perfectly.
Thank you very much for your effort.
No, temp would be same but cooking time will increase. Not sure by how much.
It took almost around 130mins for it to be done. But I think I should pull it out around 90-100 mins and let it finish cooking outside while cooling.
I will try again later and post my findings.
Thank you for fast response.
Hey Chef John!
Thanks for this recipe! Successfully made this just recently using creme fraiche of course. The only part that was a bit off was the dark caramel. It tasted a bit bitter, could have possibly burned it a little. Any tips to avoid this? For the most part I followed the video directions exactly and waited for the caramel to start bubbling.
Thanks for your time!

Just don't cook so dark next time, but it does have a bitter sweet taste.
Chef John,
EVERY single time I've made this (4 times now) the caramel has had a burnt/bitter taste to it. I have no idea why I'm burning it, or how. I'm constantly moving it around while it's melting, I've tried a variety of heat settings (low/med low/med). The caramel always comes out looking perfectly golden-brown like yours, but the taste is always bitter/burnt. Any recommendations or should I just move on to a different dessert?
If its the same color, then you are doing it perfectly! You simply don't like that flavor. It happens! Move on to something else.
What happens if you don't add cooking spray?
Can I use whipped cream instead?
You can use "whipping cream" but not whipped cream.
If you don't add cooking spray, the flan will come out looking ripped because the sides and the bottom will stick. (Guess how I found out? =P)
I replaced the creme frache with sour cream, although I wasn't paying attention when I was adding the eggs (added an extra egg instead of just the yolk)and it came out tasting eggy. Also didn't help that I removed the Grand Marnier. Eheh. But I was honestly impressed with the recipe either way. I tried a different one and it turned out horrible. I'll be trying this again, probably with whipping cream and report back.
Dear Chef, I want to make this dessert for 6 people. Do you recommend to make 1 big flan? And how many eggs do I have to add extra? Thanks.
double recipe and make 2 extra!
Just made two servings of this today. Super easy and so good!!! I've made it once before and find that it needs about 4 hours to chill in the fridge to give it that great texture. I also think it tastes less 'eggy' after being refrigerated for at least 4 hours. I was even able to make some pulled caramel garnish just like you showed.
I have been a follower of yours for a few years now. I love your videos and your sense of humor. Thank you for taking the time to share your talents with the world!
Chef John,
Can I use Cointreau instead of Grand Marnier?
Thanks for the wonderful video recipe!
Fantastic recipe.
Didn't have Grand Marnier and used Cointreau instead.
Followed everything else exactly.
Texture and taste was amazing.
I'll definitely be making this again.
Thanks Chef John!
Chef John-
If i wanted to use whipping cream-do i whip it first and then add it or do i add it in as a liquid and beat it with the rest of the ingredients until it forms together?
thank you for your time.
no, don't beat! just add like the other dairy ing. Enjoy!
I just made this dessert, homemade creme fraiche included, and it was the most DELICIOUS thing ever; however, I used a limoncello instead of the Grand Marnier and it came out beautifully. I can't wait to use the creme fraiche in EVERYTHING.
Turned out wonderfully for me
Love you chef! I bought the ramekins, creme fraiche and the Grand Marnier.. Had some friends for dinner and... Simply delicious! BTW, I made them with "cajeta" instead of the caramel and yummy! For dinner: your Veracruz-Style Red Snap! My guests were all impressed!
I made this using lactose free milk and cream without a problem! :)
If I want to make this ahead of time, can I do everything except the final bake; then keep it in the fridge until I am ready to bake it?
Yes, just might take a little longer.
Hey. How about a simpler but just as rich creme caramel? Instead of creme fraiche and whole milk use heavy cream or whipping creme, and no Grand Marnier.
is there any substitution for creme fraiche ? can I use sour creme instead ?
I used sour creme, it worked. Since there is no creme fraiche available at every store in my country.
I am currently living abroad and don't have an oven, can. I steam them instead? If so, do I need to lay the ramekins on top of water? And for how long would I need to steam them for? Thank you Chef John!
Chef John you are crazy talented, you are my favorite Chef. Your recipes are simple and taste amazing. Bravo!
Hi chef! Do you think I could use an 8-inch baking pan instead of ramekins??
Would I need to double the recipe?
Interesting, in that a LARGE number of posts/comments ask the question(s) that are addressed IN THE VIDEO. No disrespect folks, but come on...asking if you can substitute the Crème Fraiche, or can you bake it in a larger ramekin or pan, or what happens if you leave out the Grand Marnier, etc, etc. Beyond this recipe, there are MANY other similar recipes online. Just look off to the right side of your page where this video recipe is found on Youtube, and you'll see LOAF SIZE Crème Caramel displayed for instance as far as addressing whether or not you can make it in s/thing different that the ramekins he's chosen for the recipe/video. I'm going to attempt this for Thanksgiving, never having tried it before and will simply follow the recipe, MINUS the Grand Marnier, and substituting sour cream for the Crème Fraiche. I'll add some Orange rind to capture the slight taste of the Grand Marnier.
I really need to know or tonight: can I leave the creme inside the ramekins until serving? I.e. that I store them in the fridge in the ramekins.
The thing I wonder about is the caramel. I don't understand why it stays runny, while normally it would set. It is great, I just don't understand it.
In the video, Chef John said if he want his caramel to spread out over the plate, he turns the ramekins over while they're still warm.
Otherwise, if you wait until they're chilled, the caramel will probably not spread out when the ramekins are overturned.
Or, I suppose you could just serve them in the ramekins and eat them like that after they're chilled, I guess. When I made the caramel custards, I left them chill in the ramekins and that's how we ate them. They were delicious. The caramel was mixed into the custard in that recipe, though, not down at the bottom of the dish.
I've got these baking in my oven right now (yes, 11pm and I'm making creme caramel - don't ask).
OK, mine just came out of the oven. I let them cool for about a half minute, then flipped them out. They were perfect. Word of warning though, these look best on a light colored plate, preferably white. My plates are sort of golden yellow and it was hard to see the caramel. Didn't affect the taste, though.
Oh, the taste. Yeah, I'm letting three of them cool before they go into the fridge, but I'm eating one warm right now. So sue me. It still tastes delicious.
Hello chef John, I enjoy your singsong rendition of recipes. The depth and breadth of your repertoire is extraordinary. Very impressive in fact. I just wanted some basic information on the egg sizes used and the volume in gms, of your cup measurements. Apologies if this information is already there and I just haven't found it. Please point me in the right direction.
Again, than you for your recipes. Please keep going.
With best regard, Anu,
First of all thanks for great resource. Your blog become one of my main sources of new recipes.
I have question about Creme Caramel recip. I made it at this weekend and caramel had some light bitterness. While my wife and I like it, my kids didn't … at all :-). Should it be so and if not what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance
Turned out amazing!! My mother who is a creme caramel frantic said it was the best creme caramel she ever had! Thank you!!
Chef John! This is a fantastic recipe thank you for sharing your knowledge! Much appreciated! The boyfriend and I try to use one of your recipes once a week!
I love all your recipes, I always check your Youtube channel for new recipes.
I am planning to make this, but I don't have that much time to find Grand Marnier (I'm in Philippines). What can I use as a substitute for Grand Marnier?
P.S. I was able to pull off your pan-roasted chicken breast, I just had to use white wine vinegar. People here just can't live without rice :)
Could I replace 1/2 cup of crème fresh with 1/2 cup of heavy cream?
Hi, can someone tell me how correctly double this recipe?
I've doubled recipe and divided mixture among six ramekins which makes a thicker dessert (instead of dividing amongst eight).
Six ramekins fit nicely in a 9"x13" pyrex baking dish. Just know that your cooking time will be slightly longer (but be careful not to overcook and remove as soon as 'wiggle in the middle' is gone). I've even quadrupled recipe using 12 ramekins (six per pyrex dish and both fit in oven fine).
Hello, can you please tell us how to double this recipe? The first time I made this recipe I used a round glass bowl and it came out perfect. Second time around I decided to double it best I could but I used a pie dish and it was a total fail. Please let us know how to double this recipe to be able to serve to a larger group of people all at once. Thank you
Hi! my caramel stuck to the bottom of the ramikens we cooked it in! it was still delicious though!
any suggestions to have that not happen again?
Hi Ed,
I've been making this recipe for years and not once has the caramel not stuck to bottom of ramekins.
Even though there's a hardened layer of caramel, there always seems to be plenty of liquid caramel to cover creme dessert when ramekin is turned over to plate. I then rinse and fill ramekin with water and let soak (for hours) until hardened sugar is dissolved. Hope that helps.
Hey chef John, I would like to know what would be a substitute to ramkins, what size pan could I use instead?.
Thank you
We made this and it turned out great! I love how easy your recipes are to follow, and your video commentary is hilarious. Thank you, Chef John!
Jeremy Hale - when making the caramel add about one third volume of water as sugar to pan and remove when light golden, add a dash of water and swirl in before apportioning between ramekins. That makes a lighter sweeter caramel.

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said Tuesday that he would not seek the removal of the prosecutor overseeing the investigation into the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown, which has sparked more than a week of nightly clashes between protesters and police.St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch's deep family connections to police have been cited by some black leaders who question his ability to be impartial. McCullouch's father, mother, brother, uncle and cousin all worked for the St. Louis Police Department, and his father was killed while responding to a call involving a black suspect.Nixon said he would not ask McCulloch to leave the case, citing the "well-established process" by which prosecutors can recuse themselves from pending investigations to make way for a special prosecutor.Departing from that process, Nixon said in a statement, "could unnecessarily inject legal uncertainty into this matter and potentially jeopardize the prosecution."McCulloch, a Democrat, was elected in 1991 and has earned a reputation for being tough on crime.The streets of Ferguson filled once more with protesters Tuesday evening, but the scene was much more subdued than on any of the previous five nights, with smaller crowds. For the hours, the protest was lively but peaceful. After midnight, tensions rose as officers tried to remove the relatively small number of protesters who had not left. Several people were seen in handcuffs before most of the remaining crowd headed home.Earlier in the day, Ferguson city leaders urged people to stay home after dark Tuesday to "allow peace to settle in" and pledged to try to improve the police force in the St. Louis suburb.In a public statement, the city said the mayor, the City Council and employees have been exploring ways to increase the number of African-American applicants to the law enforcement academy, develop incentive programs to encourage city residency for police officers and raise money for cameras that would be attached to patrol car dashboards and officers' vests."We plan to learn from this tragedy, as we further provide for the safety of our residents and businesses and progress our community through reconciliation and healing," the statement said.Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Brown's family, said the 18-year-old's funeral and memorial service would be Monday. The time and location had not been finalized.Earlier Tuesday, a large crowd gathered in nearby St. Louis after officers responding to a report of a store robbery shot and killed a knife-wielding man. Police Chief Sam Dotson said the suspect acted erratically and told responding officers to "kill me now."Some members of the crowd shouted, "Hands up, don't shoot," a phrase that has been a refrain of protests since Brown's death on Aug. 9. Like Brown, the 23-year-old suspect killed Tuesday was black.A grand jury could begin hearing evidence Wednesday to determine whether the officer, Darren Wilson, should be charged in Brown's death, said Ed Magee, spokesman for St. Louis County's prosecuting attorney.Wilson was recognized during a Ferguson City Council meeting in February, getting special recognition for what Police Chief Thomas Jackson said then was his role in responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle, then struggling with the driver and detaining him until help arrived. Jackson said the suspect was preparing a large quantity of marijuana for sale.Attorney General Eric Holder was scheduled to travel to Ferguson on Wednesday to meet with FBI and other officials carrying out an independent federal investigation into Brown's death.In an essay posted late Tuesday on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch website, Holder said the bond of trust between law enforcement and the public is "all-important, but it is also fragile."Arrest patterns "must not lead to disparate treatment under the law, even if such treatment is unintended. And police forces should reflect the diversity of the communities they serve," Holder wrote.The Justice Department has mounted an unusually swift and aggressive response to Brown's death, from an independent autopsy to dozens of FBI agents combing Ferguson for witnesses to the shooting.___Associated Press writers Alan Scher Zagier in Ferguson, Jim Salter in St. Louis and David A. Lieb in Jefferson City contributed to this report.

Chargers loaded with optimism
Hillsdale Daily NewsHILLSDALE — It's March, spring is in the air, and as every good fan knows, spring means baseball.After an uninspiring 14-35 record in 2012, the Hillsdale College baseball team have a lot to prove, but they seem determined to win this year. Senior third baseman Scott Lantis called this "the most talented Hillsdale College baseball team I've ever been on."After a 5-3 start, including an incredible 2-1 upset of the third-ranked University of Tampa Spartans, Lantis' exuberance seems warranted.A core group of seniors return to the team this year, including pitcher Kris Morris (0-2, 3 strikeouts, 5.11 earned run average, 12.1 innings), catcher Brad Hayden (.286 batting average, .333 on base percentage, .429 slugging percentage), third baseman Scott Lantis (.238 BA/.360 OBP/.286 SLG), and right fielder Mike Vanchieri (.286 BA/.360 OBP/.476 SLG). The group provides a solid foundation for the team and also brings much needed experience to the table.The lifeblood of the 2013 Chargers, however, will be the new players. Led by sensational starter Lucas Hamelink (1 -0, 8 strikeouts, 2.70 ERA, 10 innings), the 18 new freshmen are set to have a dramatic impact on Hillsdale's team."We want to come in and really make a splash," said Hamelink. "We have a ton of young talent and we want to show that Hillsdale has a strong baseball program."Hamelink helped demonstrate exactly that when he shut down the Spartans in his collegiate debut, allowing only four hits and one unearned run while striking out five over the course of five innings.While Hamelink's performance certainly inspires hope in his abilities, other freshmen are putting their skills on display as well.Following in Hamelink's footsteps, Chris McDonald won his first collegiate start against the State University of New York at Canton. He went five innings, giving up only four hits and three runs.Center fielder Lucas Ortel only has six hits thus far, but five have gone for extra bases, and he has already driven in four runs for the Chargers.Lincoln Reed has also driven in four runs and projects as Hillsdale's starting designated hitter.First baseman Geordy Smith's first collegiate hit was a two run home run in the bottom of the third inning against SUNY-Canton. His .588 slugging percentage is Hillsdale's second best.Tad Sobieszczanski is putting together a strong case for starting every game in left field, leading the team in batting average (.562), on-base percentage (.611), and slugging percentage (.750) over six games.All six of these freshmen project as starters for the Chargers and ought to continue to improve throughout this year and beyond. The amount of talent from this class will provide Hillsdale a boost this season, and a solid foundation to build on in the foreseeable future.Sophomore relief pitcher Dan Pochmara and sophomore shortstop Nolan Breymaier will both feature prominently on the team this year as well.The only question marks for Hillsdale are at second base and left field. Freshman Zac Northrup and sophomore Vinny Delicata will likely split time at second base, while freshmen Connor Bartlett and junior Adam Ladzinsk will compete with Tad Sobieszczanski for playing time in left.When asked to comment on the team's greatest strength, Hillsdale coach Paul Noce looked to his bench."This year we have more depth," Noce said.After struggling due to injuries last year (and having already lost key pitcher Matthew Reck to a knee injury this year), depth is a very good thing. Thanks to 18 talented new players, Noce is confident in his ability to field a competitive team all season long."We just look like a completely different team from last year," said senior pitcher Michael Keve.The Chargers' home opener is on Wednesday, March 20 at 2 p.m. against the Grand Valley State University Lakers.

Jaume Collet-Serra
Jaume Collet-Serra, director of 2009's creepy and unnerving Orphan, clearly understands how to direct an effective thriller. With Unknown, a Hitchcockian rollercoaster ride of blurred identities, cat-and-mouse pursuits and shifty characters who may not be what they seem, he again shows himself to be a master of suspense.
The film follows Dr Martin Harris (Liam Neeson, returning to the action hero territory he inhabited in Taken), an academic attending a conference in Berlin. En route, he's involved in an accident, hospitalised, and then released into a world that suddenly denies his existence. Is he going mad, or is something more sinister afoot? Cue Bernard Herrmannesque foreboding score, slick and pacey montage sequences, and even a modern-day icy Hitchcock blonde.
To discuss more of the plot would reveal too many of its edge-of-your-seat twists and turns, and Unknown is definitely best viewed spoiler-free. Though slightly improbable, its ending genuinely surprises and, as a whole, it maintains momentum and interest throughout. A Box Office hit, it's also sure to scale the DVD charts.

As I've mentioned several times in my postings throughout the month, October brings to mind stories of witches and ghosts, but one ghost story captures my thinking frequently throughout the month. I suppose, one can almost say that it literally "haunts" me. The story actually developed over time, with each piece of information I uncovered in my research. I didn't dedicate any great length of time to the research, but was able to find a few items of interest when I did dedicate time… and I also found some items of interest when I wasn't looking.
It's difficult to capture visual imagery that complements the series of events, but I do believe, despite my criticisms of the movie, that one section of Gods and Generals comes close. In fact, when I first viewed the movie, during that one particular section, all I could think about was this story.
So, as for this story…
Despite being part of a series of victories in 1862, the "Page Grays" of Co. H, 33rd Virginia Infantry, had seen their fair share of desertions (not, by any means, that the "Grays" were slackers, as the company also saw more than its fair share of casualties in some of the hottest contests of the war… and was regularly designated the color company for the regiment, quite possibly an honor bestowed upon the company for their part in taking the guns at First Manassas). While in winter quarters, and during the high tide of courts-martial in Stonewall Jackson's Second Corps, those desertions caught-up with the company, and more than a few charges were brought to courts-martial. Seven men were sentenced to death, while eleven others were sentenced to a wide array of punishments, including the laying-on of 25-39 lashes across a bare back. Four of those sentenced to death were fortunate enough to evade execution because of technicalities; specifically, the courts-martial recorder had improperly maintained a complete record of the courts. In the end, however, Gabriel L. Price , Andrew J. Knight [note 1], and William Pence were not among the luckiest men. I have the good fortune of knowing more about Pence's story than that of the other two.
Pence had actually deserted at Elk Run [in the vicinity of Conrad's Store] on April 20, 1862, as Jackson was gearing-up for the best days of his 1862 Valley Campaign; but didn't show-up again in the muster rolls until December 21, 1862, when he was recorded as having "joined from desertion"… and, by the way, the "joined" part is not indicative of a voluntary event. Also, Pence had just "enlisted" on April 5… so his quick desertion seems to reflect another story altogether, regarding enlistments immediately following the enforcement of the first Confederate Conscription Act… but that will be a story for another time, perhaps.
On a local level, Pence's story was documented in April 1927, when Jacob H. Coffman wrote about the events surrounding his capture by conscript/deserter hunters:
Pence… lived with his wife on the Pike, a mile West of Stanley. She was Rebecca Short, a daughter of the late 'Dickey' Short, by his first wife. They were law-abiding people. When the officers came to take him, she would not let them in the house, but they forced an entrance and the wife became so enraged that she hit one of the officers over the head with a frying pan. He told her for that act she would be sorry as long as she lived. They then went away taking Pence with them and he, with the other two was booked to pay the penalty.
Despite the sentence, Stonewall Brigade commander, Gen. E.F. Paxton, intervened. It may be that Paxton's actions were the result of appeals made by, as Coffman put it, "influential citizens" of Page County, who "went to work to bring about his reprieve". Paxton did note that with all three of these men being from the same company and county, the execution of the three might bear some undesirable implications in discipline and morale in the "Grays". In lieu of the execution of all three, Paxton recommended that the men be allowed to draw lots, leaving only one to be executed. Not one for leniency in these matters, Jackson did not endorse the idea on the routing slip, and forwarded the paperwork to Gen. Robert E. Lee, who, in turn, agreed to Paxton's recommendation.
Lots were drawn by the three men… and Pence became the unluckiest of the unlucky three. On February 28, 1863, the execution was carried out… and documented by some who watched.
Map-maker Jedediah Hotchkiss wrote simply that "A deserter from the 1st Brigade was shot today, and one escaped yesterday" [though I also recall finding, somewhere, that Hotchkiss remembered that Pence "wept bitterly, wishing to see his family"].
Mager William Steele, of the 48th Virginia Infantry documented a good deal more. After the entire division had formed near the site of the execution, in a deep hollow near Camp Winder, "the condemned man leaning on the arms of two chaplains" was brought into view. Steele wrote:
… we went up to the stake playing the Dead March… When we got to the place the men that were carrying the coffin put it down by the side of the stake and the condemned man sat upon it leaning against the stake. the preachers sang and prayed and then shook hands with him.
It so happens that Jacob Coffman's brother, James H. Coffman (remember the story about the desertion of the Coffman brothers?), was also among the men who witnessed the execution. Coffman recalled the story of the incident, as remembered by his brother:
Pence was taken out in a field and set on his coffin, back of which a stake had been driven, his hands tied back of him and to the stake and while the band played that old familiar hymn, 'Oporto,' found in the old Harmonia Sacra, beginning with 'Come Hither Ye Faithful,' etc.; twenty men were drawn up in line, some twenty steps off and each man was handed a gun, ten supposed loaded and the other ten primed only, so in this way it might be known, who shot him.
When asked for his last statements, Pence asked to see his brother; a request that was not honored.
Again, Pence was asked for a last statement, to which he replied, "No, nothing." When the order to fire was given, Pence "threw up his hands and fell over. He did not speak after he was shot, he gasped for breath twice. His last words were "O, what will my poor wife do…" it was just three weeks since William's seventh wedding anniversary.
Jacob Coffman continued:
A shallow grave was dug and they buried him, notifying his relatives… Henry Pence, a full brother, who was at that time in charge at the Gibbons Mills, now the Willow Grove Mills, South of Luray, together with Frank Short, a half brother of Rebecca Pence, went with a two-horse wagon and brought the body home. I went to see him after he was laid out and he had a very peaceful look. The late T.M. Offenbacker, cut a bullet out of his wrist and it may have been found among some of his effects after his death.
And now comes a part of this story that some have felt inclined to doubt, but we have it from the mouth of two witnesses, the way the truth is supposed to be proven, for both Pence and Short vouched for the story. They said on the way home with the body as they came to the foot of the Ridge, on the Madison side, night came upon them, and as it was raining very hard, they pulled aside, unhooked the horses and after giving them hay, they lay down under the wagons, not for a bed, but to keep out of the rain and just as all was quiet, the voice of a man was heard singing directly over the wagon and little higher than the tops of the trees and continued to sing until the break of day. As they began to hook up, the singing ceased. They said it was beautiful, but only one hymn, and it sounded very much like Pence, the dead man.
So, in the end, we not only have a sad story surrounding an execution, but also a ghost story… and was there also the hope of a curse fulfilled?
Coffman also remembered…
Mrs. Pence said that her prayer was that all three of the men that had a hand in bringing about her husband's death, might be killed before the war ended. Now I knew all three of the men she held responsible, and the one, a captain, was soon shot in the forehead and killed instantly; the next one, a lieutenant, was shot in the throat and killed instantly; the third man, also a lieutenant, was shot through the lung and lingered a while, but died; thus, Mrs. Pence claims to have had her prayer answered. She afterwards married Wm. Flemmings, of Leaksville, where both lived for many years and passed on.
Were Rebecca Pence's prayers really… curses?
Among the three indicated officers who met death, we have… one of my third great grand-uncles, Captain Michael Shuler… and one of my distant first cousins, Lieutenant Oliver Hazard Perry Kite. Shuler was killed "instantly" (and, yes, I believe he may have been shot in the forehead) at the Wilderness on May 5, 1864. Kite was seriously wounded in the chest on May 10, 1864, and "lingered"… dying on the one-year anniversary of Shuler' death, May 5, 1866. As for the other lieutenant, who was shot in the throat and killed instantly… I can't seem to pinpoint who this may have been.
Ghosts and curses? What do you think?
Note 1. Knight later deserted again, with B.F. Price; both were taken as POWs in Pennsylvania in July 1864, and sent to Washington, D.C. Jacob H. Coffman wrote about Knight in 1927:
Andrew Knight, [was] of the Mountain district near Mauck. He was a brother of Jacob, George and Jack Knight. I do not think he sought a reprieve but took a chance in the dead hour of night and got behind the tent of the guard house and slipped through a wagon train parked just back of it. He made for dear life for such it proved to be to him. He made his way to Media, not far from Philadelphia, where he worked on a farm until after the war, when he came back home and took his family back with him, where he stayed until the death of his wife, after which he came back to Page county and later on went to Baltimore, where he married the widow of Jas. Knight, but died about two years later.

By DERRIK J. LANG, ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Clint Eastwood earned plenty of bad reviews for his latest performance: a bizarre, rambling endorsement of Mitt Romney.
"Clint, my hero, is coming across as sad and pathetic," tweeted film critic Roger Ebert as Eastwood ad-libbed Thursday night to an audience of millions – and one empty chair – on stage at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. "He didn't need to do this to himself. It's unworthy of him."
Eastwood carried on a kooky, long-winded conversation with an imaginary President Barack Obama, telling him that he failed to deliver on his promises, and it's time for Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, to take over.
"Mr. President, how do you handle promises that you have made when you were running for election, and how do you handle them? I mean, what do you say to people?" he said at one point to the empty chair.
Twitter was instantly ablaze with comments mocking the Oscar-winning director of "Unforgiven" and "Million Dollar Baby."
"Clint has now eclipsed the total word count of his last three films," tweeted film critic Richard Roeper during the speech, which was intended to last five minutes but went on for nearly 12.
Howard Kurtz, host of CNN's "Reliable Sources," said "Clint's empty chair act" was the "weirdest convention moment I have ever seen." Joe Scarborough, the conservative host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," declared that "a great night for Mitt Romney just got sidetracked by Clint Eastwood."
Minutes after Eastwood began his speech, someone created an @InvisibleObama account on Twitter. It has already amassed 30,000 followers and counting.
"I heard that Clint Eastwood was channeling me at the RNC," tweeted comic actor Bob Newhart, known for his one-sided conversation bits. "My lawyers and I are drafting our lawsuit."
The 82-year-old actor and director also talked about Oprah Winfrey, Obama's unfulfilled promise to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and lawyers. At one point, he referenced dismissing Obama and making a change.
"When somebody doesn't do the job, you gotta let `em go," Eastwood said. The tough-guy actor of "Dirty Harry" fame then drew a finger across his throat.
The Obama campaign shot back afterward by tweeting a photo of the back of the president's chair, with Obama's head peeking over it, along with the line: "This seat's taken."
Eastwood, a fiscal conservative who takes left-leaning stands on social issues such as gay marriage and environmental protections, made waves with conservatives earlier this year when he starred in a Super Bowl spot for Chrysler, a company that benefited from government support. Eastwood, who endorsed Romney earlier this month at a campaign event in Sun Valley, Idaho, and once served as mayor of Carmel, Calif., defended his appearance in the commercial, noting it had nothing to do with his politics.
Inside the convention, the crowd cheered Eastwood's entrance and shouted his famed catchphrase, "Go ahead, make my day." But backstage, stern-faced Romney aides winced at times as Eastwood's remarks stretched on. After his speech, Romney's camp defended Eastwood.
"He's an American icon," Romney spokeswoman Gail Gitcho told CNN's Piers Morgan. "You can't look at him at through the same political lens that you would other politicians. He's Clint Eastwood."
There was seemingly more discussion Thursday night on Twitter about Eastwood's awkward performance than Romney's actual acceptance speech.
"Is this a segment for `Mrs. Eastwood and Company'?" asked "Star Trek" actor Zachary Quinto on Twitter, referencing the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians"-like E! reality series starring Eastwood's wife, Dina.
Several celebrities and comedians lightheartedly hypothesized on the micro-blogging site how Democrats could top the over-the-top routine at their own convention in Charlotte, N.C., next week.
"To restore balance to the universe, Obama must have Tommy Chong onstage at the DNC talking to a steak," joked Patton Oswalt.
Original "Star Trek" actor George Takei said he was "drafting a DNC speech to (an) imaginary Romney in an empty factory."
"Saturday Night Live" cast member Seth Myers had an entirely different idea: "(Vice President Joe) Biden has to go shirtless for DNC to top it."
For Hollywood veteran Eastwood, his chance to rebound likely comes Sept. 21 in more familiar territory. That's when his next film, the baseball drama "Trouble With the Curve," opens.

Many people seem to treat Kickstarter pledges as a kind of advanced preorder system, a way to register intent to purchase an intriguing project when it's still in the incredibly early stages of development. But investing in a Kickstarter project is really more like buying into a crazy dream that might not actually come true. That risk was highlighted this week with the unraveling of the development for Kickstarted multiplayer horror game Haunts.
Over 1,200 backers helped Rick Dakan and the development team at Mob Rule Games raise nearly $29,000 through Kickstarter this summer, enough to help recoup some of the $42,500 already invested to that point. But that money apparently wasn't enough to get Haunts across the finish line. As Dakan notes in a detailed Kickstarter update, the two main programmers on the game have been forced to move on to full-time jobs and will have minimal free time to devote to the final debugging and polish needed to get the game from its current threadbare version to a releasable state. Coding the game in the relatively obscure Go programming language means there's a limited pool of new programmers who could be brought in for that final push as well.
"This has been an emotionally rough couple of months for me, as I've invested almost all of my time for the past year or more in Haunts, along with my own money and reputation," Dakan writes. "It's been terrible to watch it fail despite best efforts, but the failure is mine."
Dakan says he's still determined to get Haunts released in some form and is in talks with former colleagues at publisher Blue Mammoth Games, which might scoop up the game and finish development. Though the Kickstarter money the team raised has long been spent, Dakan says he'll personally offer out-of-pocket refunds to any backers who want to reconsider their support at this stage, and he'll give up any future revenue from the game to the publisher that eventually releases it.
Kickstarter, for its part, makes it clear in its FAQ that it doesn't guarantee the success of the projects it lists and can't directly offer refunds to backers of funded projects that are never completed. That said, the Kickstarter terms of use do put project creators under a legal obligation to deliver on their fundraising promises, and backers can theoretically sue.
Legal requirement or not, Haunts is the first in what's likely to be a wave of Kickstarter-funded games that simply fall apart before they become viable products (many non-game Kickstarters have already faced similar post-funding meltdowns). Much bigger games with much more traditional funding methods are delayed and cancelled all the time, sometimes publicly and sometimes quietly behind the closed doors of a developer. Getting money directly from potential players, and keeping them involved and updated in the development process, doesn't change the basic risks and uncertainties of the development process, as Haunts aptly demonstrates.
Projects with much bigger funding hauls than Haunts aren't any less likely to fail, either. Just because games like Double Fine's Adventure Game Kickstarter or Obsidian's Project Eternity have millions of crowdfunding dollars behind them, there's no guarantee that they will actually come out on schedule (or that they will be any good if they do).
Of course, the added press attention and big-name development teams for these massive projects do increase the pressure for the developers to make good on their promises. As Kickstarter notes in its FAQ, "launching a Kickstarter is a very public act, and creators put their reputations at risk when they do." But as Double Fine's Tim Schafer admitted up front in his project's first Kickstarter video, "either the game will be great or it will be a spectacular failure caught on camera for everyone to see. Either way you win."
If and when one of these massive Kickstarter games does become such a spectacular failure, the bloom may come off the rose for Kickstarter as a popular game-funding mechanism. Any really high-profile disaster is likely to make backers a lot more gun-shy about throwing their money at a project, no matter how safe and surefire it seems. In other words, people might stop seeing the service as a fashionable preorder boutique and more as what it is: an inherently risky investment in a still unproven idea.

The Snow Petrels breeding in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica breed as isolated pairs or in loose colonies of 50 to 1000 birds. They breed under boulders and rocks hiding for the Antarctic Skuas, the only local predator. These birds are found at 72°S with very few nunataks present further south in Dronning Maud Land. They travel over 200 km get to the sea, and spend days foraging. In the mean time their single chick sits alone in -17°C. A tough task!

At 10am Amsterdam time today we will start updating the taxonomy for the birds to IOC11.2. XC will be down for a few hours during that update.
... and we're back. There seems to be a problem with the https ... we're looking into that ... bear with us for a while. Lots of taxonomic fall-out from this update, not all of the necessary changes can be made by the update script.
.... several statistics take some time to update, so those may be slightly or completely off at this moment, script still running ...
... and we encountered an issue there unfortunately.... We're back to where we were! And we are looking into it. If you uploaded a recording during the brief time we were running the updated taxonomy, please have another go.

Are you tired of getting blindsided by all those year-end news reports on award-winning books, half of which you have never even heard of, let alone read?
One-Minute Book Reviews wants to help with a new series that will predict which books or authors will win major literary awards in late 2008 or early 2009. Inspired by late Las Vegas bookie Jimmy "Jimmy the Greek" Snyder, Janice Harayda will make her predictions under her nom de guerre of "Jan the Hungarian." (Yes, she is going to hear about this from the Scottish half of her family, but "Jan the Scot" just doesn't have the same ring, does it?)
The first post in the series will appear tomorrow when Jan will predict the winner of the next National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction even though she has not read all of eligible books because they have not come out yet. Her predictions will be based not on inside information – because she obviously never has any — but solely on having read the books.
Jan is starting with an NBCC prize because she used to be an NBCC judge … so that should be easy, right? Future posts may involve predictions about winners of the National Book Awards, the Pulitzer Prizes, the Nobel Prize in Literature, the Man Booker Prize for Fiction and Newbery and Caldecott medals. She will not make predictions about all the awards, only about those she thinks will interest you if you are bored at work.

It is our goal to keep your mouth healthy, your teeth fully functional, and your smile bright — and we are proud of all the services we offer to do exactly that. At the same time, we want you to understand all that modern dentistry in general has to offer you. To that end, we have assembled a first-rate dental library in which you can find a wealth of information on various dental topics, including:
From a thorough professional cleaning to a full smile makeover, there is an amazing array of services that cosmetic and general dentists offer to make sure your teeth stay healthy, function well and look great. If your smile is not all you want it to be, this is the place to start. Read more about Cosmetic & General Dentistry.
When you have a dental emergency — whether it's caused by a sudden accident or chronic disease — your teeth and/or the tissues of the mouth that surround them need to receive proper care right away. It's also important to be aware, before you're actually in the situation, of what you can do to ensure the best outcome. Read more about Emergency Dental Care.
This is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the inside of the tooth — specifically the root canals and sensitive, inner pulp (nerve) tissue. When this tissue becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal procedure may become necessary. But contrary to the popular myth, a root canal doesn't cause pain, it relives it. Read more about Endodontics.
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the comfort and security of a permanent replacement that looks and functions just like your natural teeth. Dental implants also help preserve the tooth-supporting bone in your jaw that naturally deteriorates when even one tooth is lost. Read more about Implant Dentistry.
Oral health is an essential component of general health and well-being. Good oral health means a mouth that's free of disease; a bite that functions well enough for you to eat without pain and get ample nutrition; and a smile that lets you express your happiest emotions with confidence. Read more about Oral Health.
A major goal of modern dentistry is to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for a lifetime. By following a conscientious program of oral hygiene at home, and coming to the dental office for routine cleanings and exams, you have the best chance of making this goal a reality. Read more about Oral Hygiene.
The word "surgery" often brings to mind a stay in the hospital, general anesthesia, and perhaps a lengthy recovery period. However, the experience of having oral surgery is usually very different from that. Some common oral surgery procedures include: tooth extractions, dental implant placement, and biopsies of suspicious oral lesions. Read more about Oral Surgery.
Adults and kids alike can benefit from the boost in self-confidence that comes from having a great-looking smile with beautifully aligned teeth. Orthodontic treatment can even improve chewing, speaking and oral hygiene in certain cases. And with today's virtually invisible orthodontic appliances, it's possible to keep your treatment a private matter… until your new smile is unveiled, of course! Read more about Orthodontics.
It's never too early to get your child started on the path toward a lifetime of good oral health, and there are many services to do exactly that. Monitoring your child's dental growth and development, and preventing and intercepting dental diseases along the way, is the primary focus of pediatric dentistry. Read more about Pediatric Dentistry.
If you want to keep your teeth for life — a completely reasonable goal in this day and age — you need to make sure the tissues that surround them are also healthy. Should gum problems arise, you may need periodontal therapy to restore diseased tissues to health. Read more about Periodontal Therapy.
In the field of dentistry, new technology is constantly changing the way diseases are diagnosed, routine procedures are performed, and illnesses are prevented. Although they may seem unfamiliar at first, new and improved dental technologies offer plenty of real benefits for patients. Read more about Technology.
Sometimes little defects in teeth can attract more than their fair share of attention. The eye often seems drawn to the tiny chip in a front tooth; the slight mismatch in tooth size among adjacent teeth; the extra-pointy canine. If you find yourself staring at these subtle yet distracting features in your own smile, help is available — often with a minimally invasive, relatively inexpensive procedure known as tooth contouring (reshaping).
Tooth contouring involves removing a tiny amount of tooth enamel with a drill to sculpt a more pleasing shape and make the tooth fit in better with its neighbors. The tooth is then polished for a smooth finish. The procedure is most often used on the upper front incisors and canines, which are your most visible teeth.
Cosmetic problems that can be corrected with tooth contouring include: small chips, uneven tooth length, slight overlaps, and tooth edges that are too flattened or pointy. It can even be used to correct minor bite problems from teeth touching unevenly during contact. Conversely, your teeth should not be reshaped if any bite imbalances could result from it. In that case, one of several other highly effective cosmetic dental procedures would be recommended. Tooth contouring can also be used to give teeth a more feminine or masculine shape, simply by rounding or squaring the edges.
What to Expect
The first step in the contouring procedure is to examine your teeth and diagnose how the reshaping will accomplish your goal of smile enhancement or correct a bite problem if you have one. This will ensure that the teeth being reshaped will not only look better but also will be healthy. Sometimes a reshaping of the root surfaces is required to protect you from gum disease. In that case, an x-ray may be necessary to isolate and protect the sensitive inner tissue (the pulp). However, most often tooth contouring only involves the removal of a bit of enamel — the hard outer covering of the tooth. Because enamel is not living and contains no nerves, you will likely not need even a local anesthetic.
You will probably feel some vibration as your tooth is gently sculpted, and then polished smooth. Reshaping one tooth usually takes less than half an hour — and the results will be obvious as soon as you look in the mirror! Sometimes reshaped teeth can be a little sensitive to hot or cold after the procedure, but this should last no more than a day or two.
Tooth contouring can be combined with whitening for a dramatically younger-looking smile. It's also often used in conjunction with cosmetic bonding or dental veneers — both of which can be used to reshape teeth with larger imperfections.
How & Why Teeth Wear Are teeth supposed to last for a lifetime? And are humans designed to live for up to a hundred years? Given all the current improvements in the areas of medicine and health, both general and oral, people are not only living longer, but they are also keeping their teeth longer. This article will provide an overview of the "oral system" and one of its more common and important occurrences, tooth wear... Read Article
Stress & Tooth Habits Teeth grinding and/or clenching habits are particularly common in people who are undergoing stressful periods or major life changes. These usually unconscious habits can result in jaw muscles going into spasm, teeth wearing down, and other problems. Treatment is usually aimed at relieving the symptoms and stopping damage...
