Oh cream puffs. So simple, yet surprisingly finicky. The first time I made cream puffs I had to make 3 batches until they came out right. Yeah, that sucked. What doesn't suck is when they come out perfectly....big, delicious, puffy balls of pastry.
And whipped cream. Whipped cream always wins.
To me, cream puffs taste like Summer....as it was tradition for my cousin and I to make these every year to eat while watching So You Think You Can Dance. Every time I make them I think of her, and it makes me smile.
These treats are seriously wonderful. And if you just happen to dip (and scoop) your cream puffs into the bowl of whipped cream then you've found a friend in me.
Cream Puffsfrom: Company's Coming by Jean Pare
1/2 cup of Butter (or margarine)
1 cup of Water
1/4 tsp of Salt
1 cup of Flour
4 Eggs
1) In a large pot, bring water and butter to a boil. Stir in flour and salt until the mixture pulls away from the sides and forms a ball (*this step is very important).
2) Remove your pot from heat; then beat in your eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one.
3) Drop by spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet (I used my Silpat).
4) Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 425 degrees, until golden brown (and centers should be dry...not gummy). Or 25-30 minutes if you choose to make them larger, like I did. And 10-15 minutes for the tiny ones!
5) Wait for the shells to cool, and then split them and fill them with whipped cream or pipe the whipped cream inside. (Or, if no one's looking...use them to scoop up whipped cream.)
One of the biggest problems I figured out with cream puffs is that you must make sure that you've cooked your dough enough. That's the number one reason my batches have failed...so if you've mixed everything together, and it seems a bit runny (as in, your dough won't form decent balls on your cookie sheet without melting everywhere), then just stick your pot back on the heat until it thickens up a bit!
Another tip is to stick a toothpick into each of your cream puffs directly after they come out of the oven. This helps let the steam escape, so you don't end up with a soggy cream puffs!
I used a small piping tip and piping bag to pipe the whipped cream into the mini ones I made.
For the larger ones, I cut them in half and just spooned the whipped cream on. Either method is totally legit, I kind of like cutting and spooning....it has a higher whipped cream to cream puff ratio, yeah know?
Cream puffs are best served on the same day! They tend to get a bit soggy if your store them....but if you have to, I'd recommend popping them in the freezer!
I hope you've enjoyed this week's tasty tuesday!
Happy baking!
p.s. ♥ kelsey

Facebook Opens Twitter-Like Feed
Facebook announced on Monday its latest bid to unseat Twitter as the hub for real-time online conversations: giving a few media partners the ability to tap into its "public feed" of all the Facebook posts that are made public by members.
That means companies such as CNN and Slate will be able to see a real-time list of public posts related to certain keywords.
Only posts that users have marked "public" will be available for this stream, though some users may be surprised to learn what they have made public.
Facebook is on a long march to stake its claim to what Twitter has called the "global town square."
In June, Facebook officially rolled out hashtags, or keywords that are marked by "#," after months of work. The hashtag was popularized by Twitter users about five years ago, as a way to easily group tweets on related topics.
And in recent weeks, Facebook has been testing a "trending" section in its desktop and mobile websites in order to prominently display the most popular topics on the network. That type of feature, called "trends" on Twitter, has also long been a part of the micro-blogging service.
With the new changes, Facebook is trying to raise its profile as a place where people go to talk about what's happening now. Media partners, including Buzzfeed, NBC's Today Show, Sky TV, and Slate, will get access to what's called a public feed API, meaning that they'll be able to pull from Facebook's firehose of public posts.
They will also get access to Facebook's "Keyword Insights" API, which will let them pull posts based on a certain time frame. This stream can further be sliced based on certain demographic information, such as gender or age.
According to a company blog post, Facebook will add more media partners in the coming weeks.
In its post on Monday, Facebook also highlighted a few data points about its users to strengthen its case that it is a hub for real-time television chatter. According to Facebook, between 88 and 100 million users log in between 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. -- also known as the primetime TV block. In addition, during the Superbowl in February there were 245 million so-called interactions, or actions such as "likes" or comments, related to the event. There were 66.5 million such interactions during the Oscars, the company said.

Reader Robert Zavod would like greater access to his photos from his iPhone. He writes:
When using my iPhone on the road, I'd like to access my iMac and its iPhoto library and move some of the images in that library to my iPhone. Is there a way to do that?
Yes. This is a two-step conundrum. The first is that you must find a way to access your iMac. The second is moving the images you want to your iPhone. We'll take them in order.
Although it really should go without saying, for this to work your iMac must be running. Also, you must have an iCloud account and the latest version of iPhoto. You additionally must select iCloud in Settings on your iPhone and enable Photo Stream.
Now that we have that straightened out, you'll next need an iOS app that allows you to connect to and control your Mac remotely. There are a variety of these app. I've used Edovia's $20 Screens VNC, the $20 iTeleport for iPad, and the $3 Splashtop Remote Desktop for iPad and each can do the job, both on the same local network as your computer and from across the Internet.
What these apps do is show you your iMac's screen on your iOS device. Using one gesture or another, you then navigate that screen just as you would if you were sitting in front of the computer.
Now that you can do that, remotely launch your copy of iPhoto on your iMac. Navigate to the images that you'd like to eventually see on your iPhone and select them. Move to the Share menu and choose Photo Stream. The images you selected will be uploaded to iCloud's Photo Stream.
All you have to do now is wait for iCloud to work its magic. Eventually the images you selected in iPhoto will appear in the Photos app on your iOS device within its Photo Stream album.
Have a Mac 911 question of your own that you'd like to appear in this space? Just drop me an email message at firstname.lastname@example.com (no personal replies guaranteed). You can additionally follow me on Twitter.

Health law offers quandary for youths
Polls show that with about two weeks before enrollment begins on a newly created exchange for the uninsured, most young people know little or nothing about the Affordable Care Act.
This story was originally published Sept. 15, 2013.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Zach Ryan's decision will help determine the success or failure of the Affordable Care Act.
He's not a powerful politician, a corporate executive or a federal judge. He's a 26-year-old without health insurance.
Whether he and millions of other young people buy coverage is crucial for the federal health law to reach the goal of making insurance affordable. Their participation is needed to offset the cost of guaranteed coverage for older people with pre-existing conditions. But with barely more than two weeks before enrollment begins on a newly created exchange for the uninsured, most young people know little or nothing about what's at stake for them, according to polls and surveys.
"I can find the most obscure stuff on Google," Ryan said. "I mean stupid, obscure stuff. … But I couldn't find how to get health care through the government. When you type in Obamacare, you would think it would come right up and have some clear instructions."
Obamacare — how many people refer to the federal health law — is not its official name. If Ryan had typed in Affordable Care Act, he might have gotten closer to the information he needed. The insurance exchange where people actually can sign up for coverage is the Health Insurance Marketplace. The website does not start taking applications until Oct. 1, but it does explain subsidies toward purchasing coverage and penalties for going without it.
The carrot can be sweet, bland or nonexistent, depending upon the subsidy amount, which is tied to income. The stick is tiny. With a penalty of only $95 or 1 percent of income for a single person, some young people will opt to forgo coverage next year.
"You need people in your 20s, your 30s and even early 40s to help balance out the costs of people in their late 40s, 50s and early 60s," said Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for America's Health Insurance Plans, an industry trade association.
Besides the small penalty for next year, it's also possible to game the system — to wait until sickness or injury occurs before buying a policy, as long as it's during an enrollment period. Enrollment does not end until March 31. That six-month window is a one-time deal. It will be only 53 days next time around.
Affordability key
How many young people won't bother with buying insurance is a guessing game, but a couple of reports give some insight.
A tracking survey commissioned by The Commonwealth Fund, a nonprofit that promotes better access to health care for the vulnerable, finds that affordability — not a sense of invincibility — is the key reason young people aren't enrolled in health plans. A poll commissioned by American Action Network, a conservative think tank that opposes the federal health law, determined that people between 18 and 40 who already have coverage are more likely to drop it as their premiums rise.
"What that report found was young people are extremely price-sensitive," Zirkelbach said.
In Tennessee, there aren't a whole lot of young people walking around with insurance cards or big checking accounts. Good jobs with generous benefits are hard to find. Many recent college graduates are making do with low-paying jobs outside their career fields. And those lucky enough to be under a parent's employer-based plan are aging past 26, when coverage ends.
That's what happened to David Carter of Hendersonville. He works as a grocer for a small business where he's without benefits. He's hopeful he will be able to afford insurance under the new rules.
"You might just break your leg walking down the road," he said. "You never know."
Austin Littrell, 28 of Nashville, also is without insurance. Although he disagrees with the law for making private insurers a legally designated part of the nation's health-care system, he said he would sign up just to avoid the hassle of paying a penalty.
"Between swinging multiple jobs and trying to make it in music and other things, there is not a lot of extra money lying around," Littrell said. "But at this point, it has gotten down to where you are either going to get it or pay the fines, so you might as well jump on board."
The Commonwealth Survey found that only 27 percent of people between the ages of 19 and 29 knew about opportunities to buy insurance with the help of subsidies.
"We've talked to the uninsured young adults all across Tennessee and we've heard over and over again that they value and want insurance, but need affordable options," said Carla Raynor, vice president of strategic marketing for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee. "They also told us they want help navigating the purchasing process and more education. That's why we launched our website, bcbst.com/knownow."
Another Tennessee insurance firm that is trying to close the information gap, Cowan Benefit Services, launched radio ads last week aimed at the young uninsured.
"We really think the young people who haven't gotten jobs with benefits over this last recessionary period and ... will need help in deciphering this health care morass that we're in," said Matt Cowan, president of the company.
Traditionally, the firm has operated on a business-to-business model, assisting employers in setting up health benefits. The Affordable Care Act offered the opportunity to do more sales to individuals.
"The consumer is more involved now in the buying decision of health care," Cowan said.
Purchasing options
Besides being offered on a government website, the subsidized coverage can be purchased from an independent insurance broker without costing people any more money. The brokers make their compensation from commissions paid by the insurance companies.
Not all young people will be able to afford to buy coverage because a big chunk of them won't qualify for subsidies. Many will fall through the cracks because of states not expanding their Medicaid programs, The Commonwealth Fund survey concluded. Tennessee, at this point, is one of those states.
People earning less than $11,490 a year don't qualify for subsidies because states were supposed to provide them with Medicaid coverage, but the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the provision of the federal law that obligated states to do that.
The Commonwealth Fund determined that nearly 30 percent of young adults live in households that will be excluded from both Medicaid and subsidies to buy insurance.
Young people who make too much money, about $33,500 or more, won't receive subsidies either. And higher earners who already pay for their own coverage are likely to face heftier premiums than they owe now, according to the poll conducted for American Action Network.
The poll found that the more their premiums rise, the more likely they are to drop coverage.
Ryan, an East Nashville resident who works as a salesman at a boots store and a musician, said he could not think of a friend who had health benefits.
"It would be nice to know how to actually get it," he said.

My name is JA Konrath, and I have trouble answering my email.
It sneaks up on me. I'll miss a day of replies. Then two days. And by the end of the month, I have 380 emails in my Inbox that need to be answered.
A lot of it is fan mail. A good deal of it is other authors, asking advice. Some of it is people asking for me to do an appearance.
I always answer the important stuff immediately, such as from my editors and agents. But the other stuff I always put off until it's overwhelming.
I'm not complaining. I much prefer it to getting no email at all. MUCH.
But if you've emailed me in the last month and haven't heard back, I want to tell you it isn't because I'm ignoring you.
Well, not ignoring you specifically. I'm ignoring everybody equally, so don't feel as if I've signalled you out for snubbing.
And I will get to replying. Eventually.
But this ongoing problem of mine made me think about my professional weaknesses. I can rattle off my strengths easily, as I'm sure more writers can name theirs---we all seem to know what we're good at.
But perhaps it is more important to find out what we're not good at, and strive to improve these things.
Timely answering of email is one of my flaws. Remembering names is another (I sometimes forget the names of my children---I'm awful with names.) Being impetuous (rather than careful) is yet another which has gotten me into trouble before.
These problems can be fixed, if I work at them. And having identified them, I'll make an effort to change. I'll set aside specific times to answer email. I'll pay more attention to names. I'll try to slow down and think before acting impulsively.
What are your professional weaknesses, and how will you fix them? And is it possible to turn a weakness into a strength?

IBM wants to get youngsters hooked on Power
'We're hip'
IBM's Power server evolution will continue through hipness and experimentation.
Many customers out there think of IBM as a
stodgy venerable computing powerhouse. The notion that "no one ever got fired for buying IBM" plays well in the corporate data centers that most Power processor-based servers call home. It plays less well, however, in the Web 2.0, SaaSified data centers being built by kids more familiar with the intricacies of Ubuntu than the joys of AIX.
Some members of IBM's executive brass would like to change this situation and thrust Power-based boxes into the hype- and growth-rich portion of the internet build out. All in all, it's not a terrible idea since the Power gear can run Linux natively and even x86 Linux applications through a translator in addition to AIX.
"I think we have another play to make here," Ross Mauri, IBM's general manager for the Power business, told us. "The question is around how we go after Web 2.0 applications and how we reach start-ups."
Evidence of this Power-friendly focus on start-ups can be found in a number of places.
On the research and development front, IBM has the "Kittyhawk" program in place where it's looking to bring today's most popular web applications over to Blue Gene supercomputers, which run on very low power versions of the Power chip. IBM has claimed that "the entire internet" could run on a single system made up of connected Blue Gene machines. While such boxes are expensive up front, IBM thinks that customers could one day save on energy and infrastructure costs by aiming the efficient Blue Gene hardware at web loads.
Nearer term efforts include IBM's "Blue Cloud" project and the PowerNet sales push.
The "Blue Cloud" is rather self-explanatory - a cool-hued mound of fluff. Or rather it's IBM's fledgling approach to utility computing where the company has partnered with a handful of research organizations to ship software as a centralized service. Eventually, IBM should roll out a proper, er, production cloud that will likely offer up WebSphere, DB2 and other applications on a SaaS (software-as-a-service) model that lets customers rent access to hardware and code.
The majority of these utility/cloud type things run on clusters of x86-based servers, and, in fact, IBM's most prominent cloud built with Google relies on 1,600 x86 chips.
IBM's original cloud software, however, was designed on Power-based systems, and now the company wants to make the Power gear central to its ongoing utility projects.
"Power is a key element of our cloud computing strategy," Mauri said.
IBM also has this curious PowerNet thing in place.
The company tells us,
PowerNet is a solutions based selling initiative designed to provide complete end-to-end IT business solutions to customers in small and medium sized organisations. It emphasises the value added from creating a repeatable solution that solves a real business need.
We're not quite sure what that means, but Mauri explained the program as a way for smaller, local sellers to come up with IBM-based hardware, software and services packages that cater to rather specific needs. IBM gives these smaller resellers financial and consulting aid to help them crack fresh markets. In this particular case, IBM is thinking that the PowerNet set might flog Power servers at start-ups.
"You see a company like Sun that has been very in tune with this crowd," Mauri told us. "With PowerNet, we can target specific applications or towns and go after dot-coms. That way we don't have guys in blue suits showing up."
Moving from hipness to experimentation, IBM is already eyeing future directions for the Power server line. While it won't say much at all about the specific design that the Power7 processor will take, it will discuss possible complementary technology.
IBM, for example, is looking at outfitting future Power7 servers with a host of co-processor accelerators that would include the Cell chip in addition to other hardware.
"Having these hybrid systems is an important thing to look at," Mauri said. "We are looking at how to have different processors handle other types of optimized workloads."
The IBM executive mentioned applications such as transaction processing (OLTP) and Java as two possible areas in need of a boost. In order to energize this type of code, IBM could follow the lead of the x86 set and pick up FPGA accelerators that slot into Power processor sockets.
In addition, IBM is looking at creating management software that would help target bits of code at the right accelerators. It's this software that should prove the most difficult bit to pull off. So, for IBM even to explore it even on a research level, represents a decent commitment. ®

David Bowie: New Music a Decade Later
(NEW YORK) -- It's been 10 years since David Bowie released music, but he's making a comeback with the album The Next Day and an edgy music video debut for his new single, "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)."
Bowie's new music video was directed by filmmaker Floria Sigismondi, writer and director of The Runaways, starring Kristen Stewart, about the '70s rock band of the same name.
In the new video, actress Tilda Swinton, 2007 Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actress in Michael Clayton, plays Bowie's wife. Swinton even resembles the 66-year old musician in his youth towards the end of the music video.
According to Bowie's official Facebook page, the six-minute clip is about capturing "a twenty-first century moment in its convergence of age, gender and the normal/celebrity divide."

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
Joe Rueffert
Jochem ?Joe? Rueffert passed away Friday, March 19, 2010 surrounded by friends and family.
Joe and his wife Brenda moved to Jasper in 1976 to raise their family and operate The Woodbridge Inn. For 34 years Joe helped families near and far celebrate their lives with his wonderful food and generous hospitality. You just aren?t truly from Jasper unless you?ve had Joe pick on you!
He was born Jochem R'ffert in Frauenwaldau, Germany on July 15, 1940. One of four brothers born to homemaker Dora and veterinarian Werner, Joe's childhood saw his family having to make many sacrifices during the post World War II years. So much of what Joe did to survive as a child shaped the man he became. He never wasted anything, from chicken bones to bent nails, Joe knew how to reuse and recycle way before it became a trend.
As a young adult in East Germany, Joe was assigned the duty of guarding the Berlin wall during his required military service. Risking his life, Joe dodged bullets and land mines to escape to his freedom. This rare story of bravery and determination was featured in many publications and television interviews, including one on CNN.
Once in the west, Joe attended hotel and catering school in the Bavarian city of Tegernsee. This experience granted him the opportunity to travel to work in the United States at the O?Hare Airport in Chicago, Il. Joe spoke no English when he first arrived, but learned the language by watching the Three Stooges daily.
Eventually, Joe ended up working in the south where he met a pretty Georgia girl named Brenda Sewell. Brenda and Joe married and began their family having Sonja in 1969 and Hans in 1972.
Joe is survived by his wife of 43 years, Brenda Sewell Rueffert; his son, Hans, daughter-in-law Amy, grandchildren Finn and Ella, all of Jasper. Also surviving are Joe?s brothers, Klaus of Braunschweig, Germany, Wolfgang of Emden, Germany, and Michael of Avewedde, Germany. Joe was predeceased by his daughter, Sonja Yvonne in 2004.
For those of you who knew, loved and respected Joe, we are having a memorial service on Sunday, March 28 at the First Baptist Church in Jasper at 2 p.m. We will also have family visitation on Saturday the 27th from 5-7 at Cagle Funeral Home in Jasper. In lieu of flowers, we?re asking that friends make a donation in his honor to Life Link, non-profit organ and tissue recovery organization dedicated to serving patients in need of transplant therapy and their families. Life Link was instrumental in helping Joe procure his second kidney transplant, and he was always a major supporter of organ donation. You may make a donation by mail or phone to:
The LifeLink Legacy Fund
409 Bayshore Boulevard
Tampa, Fl. 33606
For those who would like to make a gift online, they have a secure Web site where you can make a donation on Joe?s behalf at: http://www.lifelinkfound. org/legacy.cfm. Without Life Link, we would?ve lost Joe years ago. Donations may also be made in his honor to the First Baptist Church of Jasper.
Joe?s contributions to Jasper and Pickens County will be felt and remembered for years. He was a great man that impacted the lives of everyone that came through the dining room at the Woodbridge Inn. The true patriarch of our family, we looked up to him both as a man and as our father. We will forever miss his quick wit and love.
David Williamson

Tyre selection per Pirelli
everyone is heavy on the Utra-soft.
Vettel and Lewis are even tyre for tyre
Tyre selection per Pirelli
everyone is heavy on the Utra-soft.
Vettel and Lewis are even tyre for tyre
An onboard of the circuit with the RB13. It looks like this track has very high speed corners. My first impression is that the race will be decided by qualifying again. I don't see how the cars will be able to follow each other. Maybe we will get overtaking opportunities if they utilize the really long straight.
Its a little like Canada with slightly more twisty sections. Hopefully we will have the same result as Canada
Think it will be a very poor track for racing, but we should do well here
Forza Ferrari
...the new SF90 in the MATTE RED, to me it looks amazing. Let's hope it's gonna be as FAST as it looks.
Looks like the #FrenchGP not starting until 15:10 UK time means that @Channel4's highlights of the race will not air until 22:10, according to provisional schedules.
Unless Ferrari have found a way to be kinder on tires compar d to how they were in Spain.....maybe they can play with set up more, or the suspension version they used in Montreal is already that much better
All i can say is game on Mercedes....
...the new SF90 in the MATTE RED, to me it looks amazing. Let's hope it's gonna be as FAST as it looks.
[Sportbild] The new Mercedes engine that will debut in the #FrenchGP are expected to bring 0.3s quicker lap times than the previous one.
hockenheim 2018 / China 2018 : Never forget how quick Ferrari can lose it all, be humble.
Positivity doesn't win you championships, whining about people being negative makes you blind!
lol ignore the bitter old cows ;-)
I really hope the team gets the car set up correctly for these tires this time.
Disappointed Since 2010
This is what I still don't understand about the "special" tyres and why they were produced in the first place. Look, the season starts of with a set of rules that all have to abide by. Within these rules there are seven dry compound tyres designated for the season that everyone agrees to. Pirelli introduces two new sets for the 2018 season but they are in essence rebranded and they make the entire range softer. So this year's superhard is actually last year's hard tyre (or thereabout). That tyre is also decided to be the emergency/back up tyre should something go wrong during the season. Fast forward to pre-season testing. It turns out "some" teams have problems with some of them during testing at Barcelona and they blister. By that time Pirelli haven't decided on the compounds for the Barcelona race. They think they have a good picture but in reality they don't (medium, soft, supersoft...madness on that circuit, new asphalt or not). So when Pirelli sees the problems in testing, what do they do? Do they go to the emergency tyre (last year's hard tyre and used in 2017) when they decide the compounds for the Barcelona race? No, they invent new compounds, shaving off some rubber, but call them the same name as the other tyres with more rubber. During the race weekend Ferrari struggles on the new "special" compounds but Merc doesn't not at the latter team score an easy 1-2. Ferrari who are not know to complain in the middle of a racing season let it slide. But they make their feelings known, directly and indirectly.
So here we are prior to the next round when the "special" tyres will by used. At Paul Ricard. Yes, Pirelli announced the compounds for Paul Ricard on april 20, almost a month prior to the Barcelona race. But they already knew about the problems from testing and the race result in Barcelona should only have confirmed that their and the FIA's behavior is unsportmanlike by changing compounds once the season have started. Instead, along with the FIA, evoke some sort exemption clause and make it possible to change the compounds for Paul Ricard back to the original ones (meaning go harder to avoid probable blisters on the softer, normal ones) they still go ahead with their original plan and bring modified "special" softer compounds to the race. Meaning, nothing has changed. So here is the question. If Ferrari get beaten, soundly, by Merc and maybe also RBR at Paul Ricard, what will that say and what will happen for the Silverstone race? Will Ferrari still bite their tongue and let it slide or should they make a formal protest and request the original compounds for the british GP? Now, we know Pirelli will bring the hard compund for the first time this season to Silverstone but will it be the original hard one from the start of the season or a "special" hard one made for that race only?
What it in essence boils down to is the question of how fair, sporting-wise, it is to change compound structures once the season has started and especially if there is an emergency tyre designated for the season, the super hard, should problems arise. It's completely irrelevant what the post-Barcelona race test showed as it's impossible to know how Ferrari would have done compared to Merc on the original tyres during the race. Maybe Merc would have struggled even more and maybe it would have been a three-stop race (or more).
Mercedes engine rumours 3 tenths faster i say bull they have a quality problem one week and 3 tenths the next good luck with that and to the poor suckers that swallow it have a little of the same its all a game.
Totally get what you're sayin....I'm WAS in the same mind set as you were/are. But in all fairness Ferrari was testing a new suspension(rear) during the Spanish GP (first time these new shaved tyres were tried) and it did'nt work out for Ferrari with regards to tyre degredation.
So going forward, Paul Ricard is the 2nd track with these shaved tyres. I don't know if Ferrari will test another new rear suspension (IMO I doubt it for this track and tyre), so hopefully we get back to the way we were when it comes to tyre longevity.
By the way, this is not the first time Pirelli introduces "a new tyre" for a few GP's in a given season....they've done it in the past. Also, all teams throughout the year has 2 days of Pirelli testing (wet)....plus they do other "testing" [cough...secret testing...cough] while doing the Pirelli testing.
I know it's not the first time and it's not the point as earlier year's modifications were done for safety reasons. The modifications this season has nothing, officially, to do with safety. Also, pre-season testing is part of the upcoming season. The 2018 F1 season started on february 26.By the way, this is not the first time Pirelli introduces "a new tyre" for a few GP's in a given season....they've done it in the past. Also, all teams throughout the year has 2 days of Pirelli testing (wet)....plus they do other "testing" [cough...secret testing...cough] while doing the Pirelli testing.
Rules should be rules, except for safety concerns. Blisters are not a safety concern. Just run a harder tyre.
I say bring it. FP1 and FP2 again will be about setup and by FP3 we should have the car dialed in (hopefully GIO does not get called in and do another 8hr SIM at Maranello...but it is a new track...so maybe).
Im anxious to see FP3 and quali.
Reports say a conspiracy regarding Pirelli caved into Mercedes demands and other reports say Pirelli were already going to do this anyways regardless of what the nay-sayers say...I myself tend to lean more towards the former rather than the latter. I saw those tyres during testing (Barcelona testing---2 weeks prior to Melbourne) and Mercedes were the only ones that "cooked" their tyres....no one else (Toto said RedBull had the same issue....whatever!!!) cooked their tyres.
First, Seb in the after race test in Spain tried the original tires, and he said it would have been worse for us.
Second, harder tires are better for Merc, they can make the medium go as fast as the soft, and nearly super soft levels. harder tires are our enemy. More than Merc itself.
So stop complaining for the tire change.

It was a good time; I got to meet more people that I had been reading for years but never met, and got to see others that I met last year.
Not Clauswitz (Keith) has a good summary of the people there; he also has a few pics in some of the later posts. He is one of the people that I have read for years but never met; it was good to finally remedy that.
Most of my photos are people at meetings and general sit-around-and-bullshit sessions.
Saturday my wife and I drove over to Lake Tahoe (a short trip from Reno) for lunch and to get away to the mountains; had a relaxing time over there. Hopefully we will get to go again next year.
There were a lot of door prizes given out, and some good stuff raffled off. We had guns from Ruger and High Point, and accessories from Sig Sauer, Leupold, and others.
I'm a bit melancholy about the date yesterday. I usually don't post anything about it, since there are others who do so much better than I do. A couple are here that I think you may like.

The presidential campaigns are shaping up to be some of the ugliest I've seen; it seems to be that every time an ad hits the TV that it has less to do with facts and the economy, and more to do with ad hominem attacks.
I refuse to watch campaign speeches and ads; I prefer to look at the records of the candidates. Anybody can talk a good game and make promises; I want to know how well they kept promises in the past, that's what tells me what they are likely to do. Politicians are bullshit artists; never believe anything they say without proof and evidence of past deeds.
Just my opinion.

Sir Cecil Beaton (Jan. 14, 1904 – Jan. 18, 1980), knighted in 1972, was a 20th-century Renaissance man. In his lifetime, he won four Tony Awards and three Oscars for costume design and art direction. He was a major force in ballet and the opera, and a master photographic portraitists of England's royals. But equally powerful, if much less known, were his photos from World War II, made when he covered the conflict in England and abroad for Winston Churchill's Ministry of Information.
One photograph, in particular, cemented Beaton's reputation as a man capable of chronicling terror as well as beauty. Well over a year before the U.S. entered the war, and as Britain was the lone holdout in Europe against the Third Reich's juggernaut, a Beaton picture of a young girl named Eileen Dunne graced the cover of LIFE magazine. This deeply sympathetic photograph was as powerful a piece of visual propaganda as any made during those years, and commanded Americans to take a keener interest in a war that, at that stage, still felt very far away. The delicate touch that Beaton applied to his most graceful royal portraits is clearly at work here, as well, in this portrait of an innocent victim of the Blitz.
But perhaps LIFE described the picture best, in its Sept. 23, 1940, issue:
The wide-eyed young lady on the cover is Eileen Dunne, aged 3 3/4. A German bomber whose crew had never met her dropped a bomb on a North England village. A splinter from it hit Eileen. She is sitting in the hospital. A plucky chorus of wounded children had just finished singing in the North English dialect, "Roon, Rabbit, Roon." The picture was taken by Cecil Beaton, the English photographer who generally specializes in fashionable or surrealist studies of society women.
"England's crack society photographer," as LIFE described Beaton, would go on to photograph five more LIFE covers in the 1940s and '50s, mostly of the royal variety, and his work would appear in the magazine's pages scores of times through the years.

This is one of my favourite places in town; the Kuching General Post Office located at the corner of Carpenter Street and Jalan Tun Haji Openg. This building of architectural significance was designed by Denis Santry of the architectural firm of Swan and McClaren in Singapore and was completed
in 1932. It served as a police station and stables for the white rulers before assuming its role as the General Post Office for Kuching. Other significant buildings in the vicinity include the Pavilion which house the textiles museum and the Round Tower; recently dwarfed by the insensitive and unimaginative insertion of a massive commercial complex next to the Pavilion , facing the GPO.

WACO, Texas (AP) - Brittney Griner scored 27 points with eight rebounds and No. 1 Baylor overwhelmed sixth-ranked Kentucky 85-51 on Tuesday night.
Odyssey Sims added 18 points and Destiny Williams had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the defending national champion Lady Bears, who have won 42 games in a row. They play fourth-ranked Stanford in Hawaii on Friday.
After unfurling their 2012 national championship banner before the game, the Lady Bears (2-0) went on to build a 46-19 halftime lead against the defending SEC champions who returned four starters.
A'dia Mathies, the reigning SEC player of the year, had 12 points on 3-of-18 shooting for Kentucky (1-1).
Griner missed her first two shots, but the 6-foot-8 All-American then made 11 in a row. She also had five blocked shots and three steals.

We sure can. It's called our Optional Full Replacement Cost Coverage and here's how it works: If your RV is totaled or stolen (and not recovered) in its first five model years
it will be replaced with a comparable new RV, even if you're not the original owner.
After the first five model years, you will receive your full original purchase price — not a depreciated amount — toward the purchase of the replacement RV. Replacement Cost Coverage must be purchased during the RV's model year or within the following four years.
Optional Full Replacement Cost Coverage protects you from depreciation – you could save thousands!

Since a regular U.S. auto insurance or RV insurance policy typically will not cover you under Mexican law, National General Insurance partners with approved Mexico Insurance professionals who provide the coverages you need when RVing through Mexico.
Check out our section on
Mexico Insurance
, or
contact us
for more information. But whatever you do, don't travel in Mexico without the right coverage!
10. How much RV insurance coverage should I carry?
Determining the amount of RV insurance coverage you need means considering a number of factors.
State Requirements
The state where your vehicle is registered has a lot to do with the coverage you'll need. Be sure to find out your state's RV insurance requirements before choosing your coverage. Check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or your National General Insurance representative for more details.
Vehicle Type
The type of vehicle you drive influences the type of insurance coverage you need. Larger recreational vehicles mean the possibility of more damage to another vehicle. Highly customized RVs also can be more expense to repair. You'll need liability coverage that is sufficient for the type of RV you're insuring, and the way that you use it.
Leased or Financed Vehicles
If you're looking to insure a leased or financed vehicle, you may be required to carry minimum insurance coverages that protect you from the risk of having to pay the full cost of the vehicle in case of an accident. When you've paid off your RV, you may be able to lower your RV insurance premiums.
A higher deductible can lower your RV insurance costs in the short-run. But choose your deductible keeping in mind the amount of money you're comfortable paying out-of-pocket in case of an accident or other loss.
Coverage Limits
Before you choose low RV coverage limits, consider your financial situation. Lower coverage limits may cost you less now, but in the case of an accident, will you have the ability to pay for damages that go over your insurance coverage limits? If not, consider higher liability limits. In the long run, it could be the best choice for you.
Storage Option
If you're not using your recreational vehicle for extended periods of time, you can take advantage of our exceptional Storage Option. It allows you to reduce your premium up to 53% on average, by suspending collision and liability coverages when you're not using your RV! Comprehensive stays in effect to protect you against threats like theft, wind, fire or storms.
Check with your RV insurance agent or a National General Insurance representative to see what's best for your situation, since company policies and state requirements may vary.
11. Which drivers does my RV insurance policy cover?
Your policy covers all of the drivers you listed when you purchased your insurance policy. If you aren't sure who is included, check your online account or call a National General Insurance representative at
to find out.
12. Can I change my RV insurance policy as needed?

The Jerusalem Post had the questionable honor to speak to a member of the infamous Iranian Basiji militia – the militia that forms the backbone of the theocratic regime, and that brought forth current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The militia member served as a prison guard until earlier this year, when he freed two young girls who were arrested because of their participation in anti-Khamenei and anti-Ahmadinejad protests.
The Basiji member, who is married with children, spoke soon after his release by the Iranian authorities from detention. He had been held for the "crime" of having set free two Iranian teenagers – a 13-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl – who had been arrested during the disturbances that have followed the disputed June presidential elections.
So how does this militia do? How does it operate? The man who knows shares his story:
He pinned the blame for much of the most ruthless violence employed by the Iranian security apparatus against opposition protesters on what he called "imported security forces" – recruits, as young as 14 and 15, he said, who have been brought from small villages into the bigger cities where the protests have been centered.
"Fourteen and 15-year old boys are given so much power, which I am sorry to say they have abused," he said. "These kids do anything they please – forcing people to empty out their wallets, taking whatever they want from stores without paying, and touching young women inappropriately. The girls are so frightened that they remain quiet and let them do what they want."
He added that "these youngsters" are the ones who commit most of the crimes in the name of the regime.
That sounds plausible, doesn't it? Youngsters gone wild.
Sadly, not so. Here's what this 'hero' did when he was younger and more, let's say passionate, about 'defending' the regime and implementing 'Sharia': He raped young girls who were sentenced to death the night before they were executed.
He said he had been a highly regarded member of the force, and had so "impressed my superiors" that, at 18, "I was given the 'honor' to temporarily marry young girls before they were sentenced to death."
In the Islamic Republic it is illegal to execute a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is a virgin, he explained. Therefore a "wedding" ceremony is conducted the night before the execution: The young girl is forced to have sexual intercourse with a prison guard – essentially raped by her "husband."
"I regret that, even though the marriages were legal," he said.
If the marriages were "legal," why would he regret them?
"Because," he went on, "I could tell that the girls were more afraid of their 'wedding' night than of the execution that awaited them in the morning. And they would always fight back, so we would have to put sleeping pills in their food. By morning the girls would have an empty expression; it seemed like they were ready or wanted to die.
"I remember hearing them cry and scream after [the rape] was over," he said. "I will never forget how this one girl clawed at her own face and neck with her finger nails afterwards. She had deep scratches all over her."
Amazingly, this man is supposedly one of the more compassionate members of the Basiji militia. 90% (perhaps more) are worse.
When – not if – the regime finally falls, we will hear more, yet similar, stories. Let it be a reminder of how evil they truly are.
Of course we should also keep in mind that this is how they treat their own people. What do you think this means they are willing to do to other peoples, especially to Israelis?

A lot of ink has been spilt about the pro's and con's of academic peer review. I am not going to add to the existing literature on this matter in this blogpost. Suffice it to say that I subscribe to the view that anonymous peer review is still the least deficient of the available mechanisms to determine the quality of a given article submission. As an editor of two international journals I am painfully aware of the fact that occasionally the quality of peer review is not as good as it should be. Usually enraged or not so enraged emails from authors give us editors an indication that one or another of the reviewers we invited to review a particular manuscript might not have been as diligent as would have been desirable. In some of those cases we tend to embark on a second round of reviews. Either way, we depend on volunteers, also commonly known as good academic citizens, to review articles submitted to the journal. Our Editorial Board members have graciously agreed to review a minimum of four submitted articles for us in any given year, many review quite a few more submissions.
Without dependable reviewers Bioethics and Developing World Bioethics could not function and deliver high-quality outputs. One problem we encounter frequently is that it often is very difficult to find reviewers for submitted manuscripts. We know from conversation with fellow editors at other bioethics and medical ethics journals that we are not alone in this. The 'very difficult' refers to a number of different problems, the accumulated effects of which have a deleterious effect on our operations. For starters, too many academics are very happy to submit their manuscripts for review but they think little of returning the professional courtesy of their reviewers by responding positively to invitations to review manuscripts for the journal. As a result, some of those good academic citizens, who review diligently for us, get arguably overburdened with review requests, while those who prefer not to review content get a free ride. I wonder whether the Golden Rule might actually be more frequently written about by academic ethicists than it is actually followed by us. It is notable that junior academics tend to be more generous with their time while many (but by no means all) of the more established scholars are among the more frequent non-responders. The former also tend to provide longer, more in-depth and more constructive reviews. This, of course, is very much appreciated by authors keen to improve their papers prior to submitting their final draft for publication.
Other problems that typically delay – sometimes very significantly – decisions on submitted manuscripts have to do with invited reviewers not responding to our invitations, lagging significantly behind agreed-upon deadlines for the delivery of the reviews, not delivering promised reviews at all, but also producing reviews so devoid of critical substance that they are useless for all intent and purposes.
Part of the problem is undoubtedly that many academic institutions encourage free-riders by not giving serious credits for undertaking per reviews for academic journals, funding agencies and the like. If annual performance reviews, or tenure reviews do not include credits for such work it is understandable why academics turn down such work. This is very unfortunate indeed. As academics we should flag this issue within our institutions with a view toward establishing formal institutional recognition of demonstrable, quantifiable services to the academic community.

• A version of this post ran on the author's blog, riorealblog. The views expressed are the author's own.
Has anyone calculated the total number of people who have ever lived their whole lives in a favela? Since the first one, here in Rio, on the Morro da Favela, occupied in 1897? It's surely more than six million [...L]iving under constant threat to one's health, physical safety, mental balance, etc.
[W]e are talking about generations of people who lived in ghettos. People long on the margin, limited in their capacity to fulfill their human potential.
Today, one in five cariocas [a reference to people who live in Rio] lives in a favela, or slum.
This is why we had two big pieces of news this week. First, Governor Sérgio Cabral announced plans to spend $100 million ($70 million of which come from an International Development Bank loan) to serve 40,000 young people in pacified favelas by 2016.
According to the O Globo newspaper, "the work includes psychological services, job orientation and help for young people returning to school... The idea is to create spaces for youth, to fund groups that will track residents aged 15 to 19.″
Then, Mayor Eduardo Paes presented a new Strategic Goals Plan that extends to the same year. The plan will affect favela residents on many fronts:
- it reduces waiting time for public medical services and infant mortality
- it will increase availability of public infant care, the hours students spend in school and literacy
- it will cut territory occupied by favelas by 5 percent, using 2008 as a base year
- it improves public transportation; and will build 100,000 new low income housing units
- it will bring water, sewage disposal, and drainage, among other services, to 156,000 homes and will remove about 25,000 from at-risk areas
- it improves sanitation in the West Zone and increases trash recycling in the city as a whole
- it increases services to child crack users
- it will reduce poverty by way of income transfer programs that complement the federal Bolsa Família
Many will say that all this attention is because of the Olympics. So what, if it actually happens?
Behind this affirmation is distrust dating back over more than a century of exclusion: if it's the foreigner's eye that is pushing non-favela cariocas to meet the needs of favela cariocas, how much can one rely on the quality of the attention?
People who live in favelas tend to gather in doorways, on stoops, and stairs. They know their neighbors and depend on their help. They attend community events and party in the street.
"The use of public space builds a certain subjectivity that in a way also builds a specific culture," says the architect and urban planner of long experience, Sérgio Magalhães, who last year ran the Morar Carioca favela upgrade contest. "The connection between people is different."
He makes a useful comparison. "When you are the author of your own house, that you built over the years with your personal effort, when this personal effort is superimposed on the personal effort of the generation that came before and is superimposed by the one after you, that house is steeped in shared values, which is necessarily different from the house you buy with a mortgage, and sell with a mortgage when you want, when you need to change jobs, when your family gets bigger or smaller, when your income grows or shrinks."
Public policy should take this difference into account, says Magalhães. "We're talking about a contemporary value, not a modern one," he explains. "Modern was about homogeneity, universalization. The contemporary values differences."
Pressed for time in the 1950s in the US
Except that the athletes, diplomats, advertisers, tourists, officials, and journalists are already arriving. Even the Pope is coming.
So maybe favela residents need to let go of old customs – and take on the more impersonal culture of the formal city. Maybe it's merely a question of trading in a barbecue on the lage (favela terrace) for a barbecue in the community space of the housing project – or, in the case of those who ascend to the new middle class, in the restaurant? Because maybe that's what urban integration is about…
Or do favelas have something worth preserving? The concept of community, after all, is central to a fully functioning democracy.
The hurry is there in the goals for 2016, and also in the way people are relocated when necessary. Those who go through the process complain of confusing information and lack of respect. At least a certain amount of negotiation takes place, even if it's inefficient and not very transparent.
The authoritarian style of some aspects of Rio de Janeiro's transformation inspires distrust. There's a reason why the first headlines about the new strategic plan emphasized the reduction in favela territory (in Portuguese). One immediately wondered which ones, where, and how?
There are other doubts. Who defines at-risk areas, and how can one be sure the term isn't being used for ends other than protecting citizens from natural disasters? How to insure the quality and durability of the apartments where thousands of cariocas will live? Who'll pay for maintenance? How to guard against favela gentrification, and the impoverishment of residents who're paying light bills for the first time? What happens to those who leave more central areas for cheaper parts of the city?
And where is the public debate on the needs and dreams of pacified favela youth taking place?
In the post-war period, industrial countries were also in a hurry. For several reasons, soldiers returning from World War II didn't go live on hills, as did veterans of the Canudos War. Nor was this the case for black families migrating from rural areas to large American cities. For many of these, the solution was the construction of enormous housing projects– that became enormous problems by the 1970s.
Jane Jacobs, Sérgio Magalhães recalls, the wise author of the classic The Death and Life of Great American Cities (published in 1961), said that economic development isn't always the good city's partner.
"Sometimes, economic growth leads to urban loss. Because money is abundant, easy money suggests great powers, that anything is possible… in a way here we're living a period [like the 1950s in the U.S.], that anything is possible. It's not true," Magalhães concludes.
– Julia Michaels, a long-time resident of Brazil, writes the blog Rio Real, which she describes as a constructive and critical view of Rio de Janeiro's ongoing transformation.

Chef Paul Prudhomme, America's most innovative chef, invites you to take a Fork in the Road, a journey toward a different way of cooking. If your goal is to produce great-tasting, flavorful dishes that everyone will enjoy, yet are still good for you, then this is the cookbook for you!Chef Paul's new book offers not only recipes but a model for anyone who wants to modify his or her cooking to minimize the use of less healthful ingredients, yet retain the rich taste and texture that make them so delicious.
For instance, he uses puréed dried beans and reduced fruit juices to create viscosity and enhance flavors. Both add an enormous amount of richness with virtually no fat. Chef Paul provides you with specific recipes to show you how these ingredients work, and encourages you to try them with all your favorite dishes.
To make rich, flavorful sauces and gravies for great-tasting meat, poultry, or fish—without a drop of oil, butter, shortening, or other fat—he has developed recipes in which dry flour is browned before adding it to the dish. And he always tells you to start with a hot pan, so you can "bronze," or "caramelize," an ingredient without any added fat. These techniques will make all your food taste better—new recipes as well as your favorite standbys.
Perhaps the most exciting portion of this book is the chapter on Magic Brightening Broths. These delicious broths are based upon defatted stocks, and get extra goodness from carefully balanced seasonings that enhance but don't overwhelm the flavors of foods cooked in them. Chef Paul envisions that once you've discovered howeasy and enjoyable Magic Brightening is, you and your friends and family will want to cook this way several times a month.
From breads and breakfasts, through main and side dishes, to desserts and snacks, Chef Paul has streamlined his favorite recipes. He's taken out as much fat as possible, leaving the texture, the richness, and the taste for which he's famous. This is not a diet book, but one dedicated to healthful ways to cook.

Houston Man Sentenced for Threatening to Bomb Synagogue
HOUSTON—Dante Phearse, 33, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Kenneth M. Hoyt to serve 33 months in prison for calling in a bomb threat to Congregation Beth Israel, a synagogue in Houston. The announcement is being made jointly by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas and the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division. Phearse was further ordered to pay $13,000 in restitution and will serve three years of supervised release following completion of his prison term.
On April 28, 2014, Phearse pleaded guilty to the civil rights violation of threatening to bomb a synagogue and to making a telephone bomb threat. As part of his plea, Phearse admitted that on April 30, 2013, he willfully obstructed members of Congregation Beth Israel from enjoying the free exercise of their religious beliefs by threat of force with an explosive device. Phearse also admitted to using an instrument of interstate commerce to communicate a threat to kill and injure people and to destroy a building by means of an explosive device.
As a result of Phearse's threats, the school at Congregation Beth Israel was closed for a day and extra security was hired to guard the synagogue and school, thus obstructing the synagogues' members in the enjoyment of the free exercise of their religious beliefs.
The FBI investigated the case with the assistance of the Houston Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ruben Perez and Joe Magliolo and Trial Attorneys Nicholas Murphy and Saeed Mody of the Civil Rights Division are prosecuting in cooperation with the Harris County District Attorney's Office.

You are not going to believe where you can start breaking-out if you keep using your winter skin creams during the summer…
Two of my go-to beauty derms, Dr. Debra Jaliman from NYC and Dr. Jessica Wu from L.A., gave me the skincare scoop as to why you should go on a little pre-emptive strike from your winter cream for the spring and summer months.
A shocking reason why?: It can lead to irritation and break-outs on your face, back and even butt! You heard right. When you think about it, their revelation makes perfect sense because:
#1: Hot and humid climates obviously make you sweat. The swelling of skin cells make oil get stuck in the pores and a thick skin cream can clog them up even further. (Ick!) Plus, more bacteria grows in the summer under the heat so everything you touch makes it easier for your skin to break out. (Ick x 2!)
#2: Since people like to exercise (yeah, or heave themselves to them gym is more like it!) and be more active during the warmer weather months (ie. sitting on their bike, spinning class, etc.), your butt can break-out into icky bumps from heat alone. The mix of a oil + sweat + a heavy winter cream = not a pretty combo.
So how the heck to avoid this summer skin sitch? Our experts suggest going for a lighter lotion, and to try to steer clear of any that contain wheat germ oil (go with oil-free especially if you're acne-prone) and petrolatum, the jelly-like ingredient found in stuff like Vaseline.
So lovely ladies, I'm curious to know what's going on with you: Have you already started to lighten up your beauty products for the warmer weather and what kind of breathable lotions do you use in the summer? Had any experience (good or bad) with heavier, Vaseline-like products? Is it too thick for your summer skincare regimen or is it your "cure-all" year-round, 365-days a year?

Due to the heavy rainfall and isolated flooding throughout the state this summer, the Florida Department of Health emphasizes the importance of residents and visitors protecting themselves against mosquito-borne diseases.
TALLAHASSEE � Due to the heavy rainfall and isolated flooding throughout the state this summer, the Florida Department of Health emphasizes the importance of residents and visitors protecting themselves against mosquito-borne diseases. To prevent mosquitoes from living and multiplying around your home or business, individuals should remember to drain and cover.
DRAIN standing water:
* Drain water from garbage cans, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flowerpots or any other containers where sprinkler or rainwater has collected.
* Discard old tires, drums, bottles, cans, pots and pans, broken appliances and other items that aren't being used.
* Empty and clean birdbaths and pets� water bowls at least once or twice a week.
* Protect boats and vehicles from rain with tarps that don�t accumulate water.
* Maintain swimming pools in good condition and appropriately chlorinated. Empty plastic swimming pools when not in use.
COVER your skin with:
* Clothing - If you must be outside when mosquitoes are active, cover up. Wear shoes, socks, long pants and long sleeves.
* Repellent - Apply mosquito repellent to bare skin and clothing. Always use repellents according to the label. Repellents with 10-30 percent DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus and IR3535 are effective.
* Use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months old.
COVER doors and windows with screens:
* Keep mosquitoes out of your house. Repair broken screening on windows, doors, porches and patios.
Symptoms of West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne illnesses may include headache, fever, fatigue, dizziness, and confusion. For information on mosquito-borne illnesses, visit our Environmental Health website http://www.doh.state.fl.us/Environment/medicine/arboviral/info_links_general.htm or call your local county health department.
