Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Sunday, May 6, 2007
A lazy day. I blog-surfed and came across Evinrude's blog and 15 seconds after reading her post about nostalgic foods, I gracefully glided to the kitchen tripped over my kid's !@*?/#% toy train to make Chinese donuts (Yao Tiew).
To an obsessed cook, which is more convenient?
A) Clean kitchen, lug out the 20lb KitchenAid, mix dough, knead dough, let rest, knead more, let rise, roll out, cut, shape, rest, lug out deep fryer, heat up fryer, stretch donut, fry donuts, let cool, dust with powdered sugar, spoon granular sugar (to dip in – because you can never have too much sugar with donuts), heat up espresso machine, make espresso. Eat.
or B) Get in car. Drive 3 blocks to gas station at corner. Buy Krispy Kreme donut and cheap coffee. Eat. I was so lazy that I just couldn't get myself to get into the car and drive.
Not from scratch – I used a Thai box mix called Tippy Patangco. It was easy- add water and oil. Looking back, I should have just made it from scratch – but I was too lazy to call my Mom for the recipe. If you are brave enough to make from scratch – check out Lily's site
No Knead Pizza Dough: Pear & Gorgonzola Flatbread with Baby Arugula and Shaved Parmesan
No-Knead Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls
No Knead Nutella and Roasted Hazelnut Challah
I really enjoy your sense of humor, Jaden….so lazy you couldn't bring yourself to get in your car and drive to Krispy Kreme!
I don't think I'll ever make my own you tiao after trying to fry tempura and hating the lingering smell of grease in our tiny apartment. But just in case I get inspired, are you planning to post your recipe…?
You are an obsessed cook, it was still a DIY somehow…even if it was a mix you used. And other than the length (real Yao Tiew is longer, right?), everything else looks perfect! The color, the crispiness…oh, I could have this with freshly brewed coffee too!
I'm da real lazy cook who will opt for option (b) if there is a KK nearby
Jaden you are so smart, your Chinese Donuts are greedy.
I think It's very difficult for me to find "Thai mix called Tippy Patangco", I will eat them with my eyes…….
Looks DELICIOUS! Reminds me of the yeo tiao that I grew up with having alongside a big, steamy bowl of fresh soy milk. Breakfast of champions if you ask me.
If you're telling us that we can actually buy the mix at the market, then you'll HAVE to share the grocer's name with us. But if you're too lazy to type, don't worry I'll just surf the web for it. :-p
Piegirl- no recipe! I just followed the instructions on the boxed mix!
Tigerfish- well I would make them longer but my deep fryer is small, so I made mini ones.
Ady- yes, they are greedy!
Catherine- I've linked to a place that sells online. It should be the last sentence in the post. Thanks for visiting!
i don't make yao tiew at home either, too much preparation and no wok in my house would be able to fry those long donuts! do you know that yao tiew uses a chemical leavening which is hard to find (at least for me here)?
I LOVE you tiao! Those look sooooooo good *drooling all over* I've never tried to make them at home because it required some weird chemical, ammonium something. Make sure to get some in Shanghai when you go in Oct. Breakfast was sometimes my favorite meal: a few baskets for XLB, you tiao, soy milk, and sheng jian bao. Being in Shanghai made me look forward to getting up early every morning. *nostalgic sigh*
Eliza – I think the weird chemical thing makes it holey, airy and light inside. Ammonium Bicarbonate or something like that. Thought it sounds like something you'd find in a high school chemistry class.
Amy-I definitely will order that in Shanghai!!!
How do you say you are lazy? I was about to buy the same mix last weekend. But after reading the instructions, my laziness took over. Didn't really cook a lot lately. Lazy me!
I have seriously been in that same dilemma before and also opted to stay home and make homemade something instead of going out. Ha! It's always more work, but sometimes worth it. Unless I mess up. Then it's not.
Anh – it was a so-so mix. Not light and airy inside like how its supposed to be. but it made a good stand in since I don't know how to make it from scratch.
Lizzy- EXACTLY!!! when i mess up then i get so frustrated! and end up making chocolate cake and eating the whole thing.
I gave up making Yu Tiao (from scratch) after failing twice. I have seen the Premix before. I will buy the box, the next time I come across it at the Chinese Grocery.
You have a rare talent and I am afraid that someone will snatch you away and you won't have time to maintain a blog anymore.
If that happens, please don't erase your blog because I am not done reading yet.
p/s Do you remember if the Yu Tiao you made from the premix had an ammonia smell?
MrsHBT- you are so kind!! I don't remember if it had ammonia smell. I don't generally snort my premix (just kidding!! haha!) Seriously, I don't remember.
Did you know that Thai people eat those donuts with "Sweetened Condensed Milk" drizzled all over it and then crushed peanuts are sprinkled on top of that!!!!! YUM! Not good for the diet!
Sue Ann- OMG…talk about calorie overload!!! Ok ok ok…focus…back to diet….grapefruit is good…grapefruit is good….
This might be a silly question, but why when reading blogs do people leave the edited lines in, meaning when they decide to correct something, rather than deleting it and replacing it with the improved text, they just keep the old text and show it as crossed out. Is this a limitation of the software or a stylistic choice? Sorry about being so ridiculously off topic.

Yum! I love yao tiews with congee (what I like to call rice soup) and esp mixed in with dried shredded pork wrapped with sticky rice!!
i thought is was called YOU TIAO? no?
lol. ok.

Documentation by Michael Wende (Germany, 2011)
Two studies on the topic of the conductor. In his short film, Karl Valentin plays in close succession the trumpeter, the violinist and the percussionist of a small orchestra. He provokes and annoys by constantly interrupting the conductor (LiesI Karlstadt) and drawing him into quibbling, seemingly meaningless discussions – which of course, as always with Karl Valentin, have a deeper significance and can also be understood as Dadaistic plays on words. "There's method to Valentin's madness! He uses his humour as a kind of 'deconstruction' to examine language, and he exposes the elementary situations of communication, perception and cognition. His artful plays on words are just as relevant today as they were then." (Sabine Damm)
In his film, Michael Wende attempts to get to the bottom of the secret that surrounds the men (and, more rarely, the women) wielding a conductor's baton. He asks fundamentally and simply: what does a conductor actually do? Opinions and explanations are provided by both the participants and the jurors of the Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. A funny animated figure (spoken by Herbert Feuerstein) serves as the host and partner for reflections, helps answer the questions about what differentiates a very good conductor from a good one, what a conductor has to be able to do – and, not least, why one actually needs a baton. At the end some things become clear, while others remain mysterious. The film, the diploma thesis of film student Michael Wende, is consistently original, entertaining and humorous.

Experiments were conducted to investigate the biogeochemical impact of a commercial oyster aquaculture facility on downstream waters at a facility on Maryland's Eastern Shore. An algal production system (ATS) was installed at the facility to assess the potential for bioremediation and algal production in an integrated multi-trophic aquaculture system (IMTA). Results of the experiments showed an increase in available ammonia downstream of the aquaculture facility, coupled with decreases in dissolved oxygen and total phytoplankton. The algal production system demonstrated an average productivity rate of 82.8 g/m2*day-1, a nitrogen (N) removal rate of 9.6 gN/m2*day-1, a phosphorus (P) removal rate of 0.20 gP/m2*day-1, and harvests consisted of an average of 7.8% organic content. Productivity and N and P removal rates from this study are higher than other systems tested in the Chesapeake Bay region at sites without an aquaculture facility. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Nitrogen dynamics in cover crop-based no-till corn Poffenbarger, Hanna Jane http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15451 2014-06-27T02:35:12Z 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Nitrogen dynamics in cover crop-based no-till corn Authors: Poffenbarger, Hanna Jane Abstract: Legume/grass cover crop mixtures and sidedress subsurface band manure application are two approaches to improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency in a cover crop-based no-till corn (<italic>Zea mays</italic> L.) system. The objectives of this study were to: 1) quantify cover crop biomass and N content in response to different hairy vetch (<italic>Vicia villosa</italic> Roth)/cereal rye (<italic>Secale cereale</italic> L.) sown proportions, 2) evaluate the effects of cover crop species proportions and pelletized poultry litter (PPL) application method on residue decomposition, and 3) model the spatio-temporal dynamics of soil inorganic N as influenced by different cover crop residues and subsurface band-applied PPL. Results suggest that cover crop mixtures can accumulate as much biomass as a cereal rye monoculture and as much N as a hairy vetch monoculture, and have decomposition patterns intermediate between those of monocultures. Subsurface band PPL application provided a localized N source that did not influence decomposition of surface mulches. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Evaluation of Biochar Applications and Irrigation as Climate Change Adaptation Options for Agricultural Systems Lychuk, Taras http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15342 2014-06-25T02:33:10Z 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Evaluation of Biochar Applications and Irrigation as Climate Change Adaptation Options for Agricultural Systems Authors: Lychuk, Taras Abstract: The Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model was updated with algorithms to determine the effects of biochar applications on crop yields and selected soil properties. EPIC was validated using the results of a 4-yr field experiment performed on an Amazonian Oxisol amended with biochar. Simulations were conducted for 20-yr into the future and predicted increased values of soil cation exchange capacity, pH, soil C content, and decreased soil bulk density values after biochar applications. EPIC was then used to evaluate climate change impacts and effectiveness of annual biochar applications and irrigation as adaptation options on yields of C3 and C4 crops from representative farms in 10 Southeastern US states. Simulations were conducted for 1979- 2009 historical baseline climate data and 2038-2068 time periods using four regional climate models (RCM). Future corn (Zea mays L.) yields initially increased, but corn and soybean (Glycine max L.) yields had decreased by 2068. Future C4 crops generally produced higher yields compared to the historical yields of C4 crops. Historical baseline yields of C3 crops and future C3 crop yields were not significantly different. Biochar amendments had no effects on yields and in some cases resulted in significant yield decreases. Irrigation caused increases in corn yields, but not for soybean yields. Irrigation did result in increased C3 and C4 crop yields for some farms that were typically in drier areas. Further EPIC simulations were conducted to estimate the effects of climate change impacts and adaptations on microbial respiration, soil C content, and nitrate losses in runoff and leachate. Microbial respiration was higher under C4 crops than under C3 crops. Biochar amendments increased microbial respiration, although the relative relationship of C4>C3 microbial respiration was maintained. Nitrate losses were significantly higher in the future and followed a C3>C4 pattern. The greatest nitrate losses were observed under C3 crops with even greater losses due to irrigation. Biochar amendments resulted in reduced losses for nitrate in leachate, but not in runoff. C sequestration increased under C4 crops and biochar applications. Under some RCM weather scenarios, biochar applications and irrigation are promising adaptation strategies for agriculture in the Southeastern US. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Comparison of Pathogen Detection Methods in Compost and Compost Characteristics as Potential Predictors of Pathogen Regrowth Reynnells, Russell Edward http://hdl.handle.net/1903/14819 2014-02-06T03:31:19Z 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Comparison of Pathogen Detection Methods in Compost and Compost Characteristics as Potential Predictors of Pathogen Regrowth Authors: Reynnells, Russell Edward Abstract: Improperly thermally treated compost can allow human pathogens to survive. Pathogens can regrow in finished compost due to recontamination or incomplete pathogen-kill. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) and U.S. Composting Council's (USCC) methodologies were compared to recover populations of inoculated non-pathogenic E. coli and pathogenic Salmonella spp. from finished compost. Two immunomagnetic separation (IMS) techniques were additionally compared for the rapid recovery of inoculated pathogenic E. coli O157:H7. Twenty-nine point-of-sale composts were obtained from 19 U.S. states. EPA methods recovered more (generic E. coli, p=0.0001) or statistically equal (Salmonella, p=0.27) amounts of inocula compared to USCC methods. Both IMS techniques identified with 3-4% false negatives among replicates. Physicochemical parameters of compost were tested as predictors of Salmonella and O157:H7 regrowth in finished compost. Salmonella and O157:H7 populations increased over three days in 48% and 52% of compost samples, respectively. No physicochemical measurements could predict the regrowth of Salmonella or O157:H7. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z

Rory comes home after her date to find Luke asleep on the couch. Lorelai is tucking him in. Rory asks if he fell asleep during Casablanca. Lorelai says he fell asleep during Hardbodies. Rory says he looks comfy on their couch.
Back in the kitchen, Rory tells Lorelai that the date just went bad. Trevor wasn't her type, and the draft thing backfired, since Trevor says he felt the same draft and moved over to her side of the table. Lorelai can't believe how malleable boys are. Rory says she felt the date was so forced. Lorelai tells Rory that Luke believes in the gut, but she thinks you have to go through a lot to find a good one. They decide a girl has to hunt a lot, and gather many bad date anecdotes. Rory asks how long this can go on. Lorelai reminds Rory about the ladies of Grey Gardens. She says that Rory can go with Luke's gut thing if all else fails. "Maybe," Rory says. End of scene. Okay.
Night at Yale. The Smiths plays. And we're in a laundry room. Don't ask me what day it is. Rory finds a cute boy folding laundry. This cute boy decides to put band stickers all over his laundry basket. *coughLOSER!cough* Rory's wearing the same clothes she had on Thursday, and says that her clothes were in that dryer he's using. The boy tells her that someone had dumped them out, so he put them in his basket to keep them clean. Or he was going to steal them, as that's what happened to one of my friends in college. Rory compliments the boy's basket (dirty!) as she takes back her clothes. He folded them, too. Sorry, Rory, but your new hunk is gay. He tells her that he had an older brother who turned him on to The Smiths. Gay, or celibate. Rory brags that Lorelai is very cool. She says that being away makes you think about home. You mean the place you just left three minutes ago, Rory? Getting bold, Rory asks the boy if he'd be interested in getting coffee sometime. "I don't think so, but thanks," he says. He leaves, and Rory tells him he's welcome. Dis! Rory looks away as Morrissey wails us to black. Yeah. Sorry, Rory. Gay.

Damn that's a lot of sales I would like some of that cash woo hoo
Hmm... Interesting facts. They would dominate I think if their prices were more closely in line with other pc manufacturers
Oh americans, buying iPads because they think its the best thing ever, i agree that macbooks amazing, and are worth the price, im going to buy a tablet, but im waiting for all the other ones to release, including the iPad 2
I am not too clear on the difference between "notebooks" and "notebooks."
How is apple #1 when displaysearch put them as #3? or am I reading this wrong ?
-nevermind I see where I got it wrong
Sent from my iPhone using ModMyi
would you call the ipad a mobile PC?
thats some real apple logic there!
ps- ANDROID!!!
ps - Apple's brain > Android's brain
It is absolutely retarded that the ipad be considered a mobile computer. It runs a mobile phone based operating system. This is why I get frustrated when reading news articles. The parameters used are total bollocks.
Statistics can be "bended" to suit anyone's argument stance.
Love how people will call Apple products PCs only when it suits them
If this was a Chart acknowledging Apple as the Number 1 manufacter of Mobile Devices (which then would incude Macbooks & iOS products) in North America, then I could accept that. But to toss things that flat out don't belong into said category and touting this information as a solid lead leaves me scratching my head.
Not even Apple calls the iPad a laptop.
I feel there laptops are expensive but that apple. It's not a cheap brand. It's high end which should cost more. It's the American logic, high class brands for high class people. Bing American is feeling better than the next person
Am I reading the chart wrong or does the cart at the top of this page say apple is #3?

Downsizing in retirement may not save money
Conventional wisdom is that moving into a smaller home will cost less. But that's not always the case. It pays to crunch the numbers before you make any decisions.
The conventional wisdom says you can save money by downsizing to a smaller home in retirement.
That may not be true, Anne Tergesen writes in The Wall Street Journal. Sometimes downsizing may end up costing more.
"Don't make any broad assumptions that downsizing is going to save your retirement," Jeff Bogue, a certified financial planner in Wells, Maine, told The WSJ. "It may help your finances, but I've seen plenty of people who find that it doesn't pan out as they had thought."
Post continues below
One of the most painful aspects of the real estate bust, for those near retirement, was that a major asset they had hoped to sell – their home – lost considerable value, more than 50% in some of the hardest-hit cities. That means the downsizing calculation may not be nearly as profitable as they had thought.
Most retirees who downsize stay in the same general area. That means that many of their daily expenses stay the same. A retirement community that provides maintenance and recreation facilities may even end up costing more.
One piece of retirement advice has been that to truly downsize you should move to a part of the country where it's cheaper to live – but making a mistake can be costly.
Joanne Abrahamian moved from New Jersey to Kanab, Utah, in 2008, then decided that the town was too remote and she missed the seasons. But the home that she bought for $295,000 is now worth only $195,000, The WSJ reported.
You may also find that a smaller home doesn't suit your lifestyle as well as you thought it would. My aunt, who sold her three-bedroom family home and moved into an apartment after her children left home and her husband died, found that her place wasn't large enough for the entertaining she had more time for in retirement. She ended up buying another three-bedroom home, behind her son's home, at age 70 and is still there at 86.
A smaller home may also not be practical if your adult children need to move back in or if you need room for visiting children and grandchildren who come from afar and stay overnight.
If you do plan to downsize, do the math and make sure it's really going to cost less – or that it's going to give you the lifestyle you want at a cost you can still afford. Consider the cost of moving. Don't buy in a new city until you have rented there for at least a year. Visiting on vacation doesn't count.
Downsizing in retirement does still deliver a financial boost to some. WSJ reader Shirley Summers wrote:
Oh, please, I could barely get through the article. My husband and I sold our 3,000-square-foot home two years ago by finding someone who could take over the mortgage. We had enjoyed living there, had made lots of improvements but it was too big, too much of a burden for just the two of us to take care of after the children left home. We bought a 1,200-square-foot fixer-upper, totally gutted it and changed the floor plan to include only (horrors) ONE bedroom and ONE bathroom. The kids know where the hotels are in town. Every time I find something of theirs I take it to them. "Here this is yours. Take care of it. :) "I don't regret it one bit. We have more time, and more money to do other things. We also have lots less to clean, no grass (our other house had an acre and a half of lawn to cut and water) and much cheaper utilities.
Downsizing was the best thing I ever did ! We dumped that mini-Taj Mahal along with the gardner, pool guy and high utility and insurance costs. Bought a very nice but much smaller two bedroom home and love it. Still have a small yard to piddle in and room for visiting family but the costs came down to 30% of what they were. Our only regret is that we didn't do this years ago !
I tied the condo thing years ago and it was a big mistake. HOA fees and idiot association leaders ruin the whole concept. Buy a house or stay in an apartment, that's my suggestion.
As Americans who have to much, too big - it's time we ALL thought of living smaller. Doing it for retirement makes a lot of sense. Think of it as freeing, not limiting. Do you really want to clean that third bedroom for the kids that only visit once a year? 3 bathrooms? Not me. And neither of us wants (nor are able) to do all the yard work year-around that we throughly enjoyed when we were younger.
But think and talk about it way in advance - so that you pick the right place, the right housing. We did it 6 years ago but had been planning it for over 10. You can pull the equity out (if you wait for the right time to sell) and use it to build retirement savings (if you don't have enough). If you buy smaller and something with easier maintenance, you can "home swayp more easily and travel a lot for little extra money, particularly if you live in a larger city or one that has tourist draw.
Mostly, having only one bedroom and one bath (but lots of living space) we entertain, travel, pursue our hobbies, and enjoy our friends and family - not our possessions!
We have just retired and are thinking of downsizing but taking it slow. My husbands parents are in their 80's and we just moved them into assisted living. My biggest recommendation is to NOT GET A REVERSE MORTGAGE IF POSSIBLE. His parents got one about 10 years ago for their condo. First of all it is a FORECLOSURE and handled like one. You are really just taking all of your money out of your house, trust me with the fees they charge monthly you will never get a cent back if you want to move elsewhere. If your home has stairs it probably is not going to work for you later in life. We had a terrible time getting the bank to take over the reverse mortgage. We also had to keep paying those HOA fees & insurance & utilities until the bank got good and ready to take over the house. The whole process took almost a year. It was not near as simple as advertised. Now his parents do not have the money selling their home would have given them to help take care of them in their later years. If you decide to get a reverse mortgage be sure you get long term heath care to help with your bills in a nursing home or assisted living facility should you need to move into one. To recap if you are thinking of a reverse mortgage, hopefully you have a ranch you can live in with in- home care and do not have HOA fees that could break you. Unless you truely can stay there until you die it will not be worth it.
If you can, downsizing is a big help. Get rid of the costly maintenance charges for everything. Yes, we gave up the pool and the large acreage. You can still find very safe, affordable housing in a metro area, you just gotta choose where you want to be. We moved to Las Vegas. Why? We're not gamblers. Low taxes, affordable housing and the goods and services you want are close at hand. Not everyone lives in a casino or on "The Strip". We actually have all the professional and journeyman services here, good shopping and enough recreational opportunities to keep you busy if you choose to be. Yes, its hot in the summer, that's why you have air conditioning and your heating bills are pretty low. Where ever you want to live, check it out thoroughly first to make sure its a fit. Does it have what you want? If you like to travel, does the place have a good airport? Make yourself happy cuz no one else is going to, they're all busy with their lives.
Even if you are not looking for less square footage, it's wise to move into a single story home if at all possible. As we age, it can be dangerous to go up and down the stairs on a daily basis as well as painful. I'm not only a senior citizen , at age 65, I'm also a Realtor and over the past 2 years I'm selling more and more two-story homes owned by baby boomers who can no longer take the stairs. It's a given that a single story reduces utilities and is easier to maintain. I've also had clients who bought a smaller home and then realized they were too cramped so it's important to think about that before downsizing to something half the size of what you are currently living in.
****tt! This article is tough to swallow - if you have a huge home that you can't take care of anymore then you have to hire someone to take care if it for you - THAT COSTS EVEN MORE MONEY TERESA MEARS!
Unless you have that big home paid off and have some reserve money set aside to have a landscaper and cleaning service, then you're going to have a tough time up-keeping that home.
Retirement for 99% of the population means LESS INCOME than when they were working - A Lot Less! That big home can become both a physical and financial burden real quick. Get a smart Real Estate agent and decide if you want to live in the same area or move someplace cheaper. Smaller is essential when you approach retirement. You want your retirement years to be SIMPLE:-) Not complicated. I have seen this with my parents. They had to make some tough choices and some financial concessions, but hey, they are at a place in their lives where simple is the key.

UNDATED (WTVB) - Nearly every Comcast cable and Internet subscriber in Michigan will have their service transferred to Charter Communications if a deal that is in the works goes through. Comcast customers in Detroit, Flint, Lansing and other cities would be moved to Charter as Comcast looks to trim its customer base in order to get federal approval to buy Time Warner Cable. A small portion of Comcast customers in southeastern Michigan would remain with the company.

An assistant district attorney for Fulton County has come a long way since her estranged husband shot her three times back in April.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard says Assistant D.A. April McConnell, 32, was one of two people shot during what investigators believe was a domestic dispute. Police identify the second victim as 39-year-old Levon Hailey of Lithonia.
The incident happened around 11 a.m. in the 2300 block of Fairway Circle. Police say they believe McConnell's estranged husband, Tranard McConnell, fired multiple shots in her vehicle during the encounter. They say McConnell was struck 3 times by the bullets and Hailey once.
The shooting occurred just days after McConnell filed for divorce.
The body of Tranard McConnell was found by police later Friday afternoon in a pond at the Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens, just miles from the shooting scene. Investigators say he died from a self-inflicted shot to the head. The gun used in the shooting was found nearby.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard was in Arizona on business at the time of the shooting. Upon hearing the news, he immediately flew back to Atlanta.
McConnell tells FOX 5 she has limited memory of the shooting, but forgives her now deceased husband. The Emory Law School graduate is determined to bounce back from the near death experience through perseverance.
"I am going to get back in the courtroom. My career is just starting and it has a long road to go," said McConnell.

How do we get corporations out of government.
Large corperations run our government, thay donate huge amounts of money for which they are rewarded. The government no longer represents the people but rather the corporations. We are supposed to be a representitive republic but our needs are not being represented, the corporations are. This is why I'm in the occupy movement, to try and return to our constitution and excercise my rights. We want the government to represent us and not the corporations, they are not people. Everyone thinks we are there to get money from the 1%, while this may be true for many what I have just written is true for me and most in the movement.

Jan 20 2012: Sorry, I know that the restriction on reply depth make this difficult, but what are you referring to? Washington? Several good books have been written on the subject, but the claims I made are not disputed by anything other than gradeschool history teachers in the United States. The American revolutionaries were just ordinary people who had become fed up with a government unresponsive to their needs; nothing more. To put them up on pedestals is unkind to their true legacy and unwise if you want to understand history and politics.
Some of them were exceptionally sharp; Franklin and Jefferson are my favorites there. Others were merely clever and opportunistic. Washington was neither of those things. He was a straightforward person who preferred action to words and lost more battles than he won, at horrific cost to his men. He was your friendly, if witless, veteran neighbor put in an undesirable situation and making the best of it - not because he was the ideal candidate, but because he was the best suited to it from amongst the people available. He was a regular guy that people felt comfortable trusting their lives to. It was up to his peers to be the philosophers, the strategists, the tacticians; he didn't have it in him.
If you don't agree, I challenge you to go find one pamphlet or essay written by Washington that was instrumental in sparking the revolution. I challenge you to go research the history of his battles and point out moments of strategic brilliance which he originated. The former simply don't exist; the latter are few and far between. To pretend otherwise is to make a cruel caricature of the man, and in so doing denigrate others like him by suggesting they can't compare. It does a disservice to anybody who has ever wanted to make a difference in the world, by saying "aha, but you are not like these great men, you don't have it in you". That is a much deeper crime than failing to give due reverence to long-dead historical figures.
ralph haulkJan 21 2012: Justen, noweher in any of my statemet on history did I mention Washington. This is what is known as the straw man fallacy. Look at my references: St George Tucker, a very smart man. Joseph Story, brilliant in his understanding of law, I cited "Dartmouth v Woodward" with decisin rendered by Chief John Marshall, whom no legal scholar would call 'slow".
Further, I cited Blackstone, and the understanding of men such as Madison, Hamilton, and Adams, among others read and practiced. I give you references from history, written by its most brilliant men, and you argue about Washington. That is classic straw man. Who caes what Washington said? As for franklin, he, along with james Wilson and Madison, tried to ceate a federal corporation for internal improvements, which the colonists quickly shot down. I' ve seen nothing frm you to counter my statements except a focus on Washington, whom we both agree offered little except as figurehead.
Jan 21 2012: I'm not attempting making a straw man at all, I was giving a single example. You made a statement and I wasn't sure what you were referring to, so I guessed. You're right in that *some* of the early historical figures were very intelligent. I agree there - like I said, I like Jefferson and Franklin (despite the latter's political opinions which we both apparently find foul he made many interesting scientific and technological contributions). Marshall's judiciary opinions were also very interesting and poignant, almost without fail.
But there are many, many brilliant people on earth today, and an intervening couple hundred years of science and social development permitting us, I argue, to outperform the best efforts of both the brilliant and mediocre from yesteryear.

You can't throw a rock in the horror section of your average video store without hitting a movie about something cute and innocent that wants to kill you. We've seen killer clowns, evil dolls, rabid grannies, murderous children and giant-sized versions of everything from ants to bunnies. It was just a matter of time until some filmmaker (most likely from either New Zealand or Wales) got around to making a movie about killer sheep. The Kiwis did it in 2006 with "Black Sheep", a blood and guts soaked black comedy that nicely balances the humor and the horror.
Were you eagerly awaiting a sequel to Tobe Hooper's "Toolbox Murders" remake? Me neither, but they're trying to placate me by throwing Jeffrey Combs, Tony Todd and Lance Henriksen into the mix. Did it work? You can check out the teaser trailer at the site and tell me.
Jaume Balaguero to direct "Flatmate". Balaguero is one half of the duo behind the original Spanish film "[REC]", but little else is known about the project at this time.
Sweet Jesus, a sequel to "The Messengers"? ME NO WANT. If you want, there's a trailer at the link.
Simon Baker to star in "The Killer Inside Me, as a really handsome murderer who kills other handsome people, like Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba, and Kate Hudson. It's just so realistic!
Christopher Lloyd has joined the cast of "Piranha 3D". I'm officially going to start having wet dreams about this movie. Stay tuned for details.
The adaptation of Steve Niles "Wake the Dead" is delayed because the WETA workshop has to work on "The Hobbit" for Guillermo Del Toro. Jesus, the guy's so freaking busy that now he's delaying other people's projects? Will his reign of pudgy Mexican tyranny ever end? (I kid, I kid)

Boy Scout Troop 1, Charlotte's "Pioneer Troop," is using letters, emails and photographs to build a strong relationship with the U.S. Naval submarine that bears the city's name.
The troop, based at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church on Park Road, first began its relationship with the USS Charlotte submarine in 2005.
Roger Ball, a professional photographer and former assistant scoutmaster of Troop 1, said Boy Scout troops often visit military installations.
"Knowing that the Norfolk Naval Yards were close by, I looked into a possible tour of it. In researching this, I came across a mention about the USS Charlotte (SSN-766) Submarine coming to the Naval Yards to have a DMP (Depot Modernization Period) where it would remain in dry dock for two years as it was up-fitted or modernized," said Ball.
"I asked the troop if they would be interested in touring the base and possibly touring the sub if that could be arranged," he said. "They were."
The boys came up with the idea of making a presentation to the crew, so Ball offered to supply some skyline prints of Charlotte that could be hung in the sub or at their base. After Ball contacted the mayor's office for a contact on the ship, they supported the effort aswith a signed letter from then-Mayor Pat McCrory.
After two years of emails to the boat's commander, arranging a tour seemed almost impossible. But then the troop got a lucky break in January of 2007, when an opportune meeting occurred between two Scoutmasters and a group of Navy brass at a UNC game.
They exchanged contact information and after the troop sent several emails to the admirals explaining the presentation, they put in a good word on the boys' behalf.
The troop was told to be ready to come on short notice, as there'd only be a small window of time between the ship's DMP, sea trials and then its return to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
They got the call at the beginning of September 2007 and on Sept. 22, the 16 young men of Troop 1 were escorted aboard the USS Charlotte. The boys met with then-Commander, Bobby Parnell, in the officers' stateroom and presented him and the crew with the two framed skyline prints of Charlotte, along with the letter from the mayor.
The boys in return, received a plaque as well as a tour of the sub, including the missile room, bunk areas, cafeteria and the high-tech control room. They saw the torpedoes and the periscope, and even listened to the sounds of schools of fish and whales at the sonar station.
Matthew Crotty, who has been in the Boy Scouts for about seven years and who was one of the group who toured the vessel, said he was 14 years old at the time and the idea of seeing a SSN sub up close was a dream.
"I felt very honored to be granted access to such an expensive and important piece of our nation's arsenal," said Crotty. Bishop Saunders, who is now 17 years old and a junior at Myers Park High School, was 11 when he toured the sub.
"What [young] kid wouldn't be so excited to visit such a mighty force in the military," Saunders said.
Since the tour in 2007, the troop has remained in contact with the various commanders of the ship through emails and written correspondence, even exchanging emails while the sub was on duty in the Pacific Ocean.
Commander Richard Young said in a letter to the troop in April, "The support from your troop and the Mecklenburg County Council serves as a humble reminder to me and my crew that [the] USS Charlotte is lucky to represent the great community of Charlotte, North Carolina."
In 2011, the troop sent updated skyline prints to replace the 2007 set since the Charlotte skyline had changed. This time, Mayor Anthony Foxx wrote an official letter that accompanied them.
One of these prints was a sunset shot taken the evening of April 28, 2011, the night of the NFL draft, when the uptown towers were lit in Carolina Panther blue, and the Panthers chose Cam Newton as their No. 1 pick. The troop decided to ask Panthers coach Ron Rivera if he'd autograph the print. He did, and gave the troop a special Panther Challenge Token. The relationship with the USS Charlotte has given the Scouts an opportunity to practice writing and communication skills. Several Scouts corresponded with the USS Charlotte's executive officer as part of requirements to earn an Eagle-required Communications Merit Badge.
Ball said he believes this relationship has had the elements necessary for obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout.
"This journey is a great example of using the resources available to reach a worthy goal, that good communication (both visual and written) is important in attaining those goals and that organization, patience and perseverance may be necessary along the way," said Ball.
For the boys, the meaning goes further.
"This relationship can open our eyes to real world circumstances overseas and is an opportunity not worth wasting to learn about other people's lives fighting for our country each and every day," Saunders said.
Crotty echoes that sentiment, "I feel that the relationship with the troop shows the crew that they have not and will never be forgotten. The incoming youth at Troop 1 will always be enthralled by the story of how the troop has a relationship with a … submarine."

Loon advocates renew call for lead fishing jigs ban
Opponents to the legislation, including several state and national bass fishing groups, describe the bill as virtually identical to one tabled by legislators in 2012, and say it should be defeated again.
The Loon Preservation Committee and the New Hampshire Lakes Association are backing Senate Bill 89, which would prohibit the use and sale of toxic lead fishing tackle and ban sinkers and jigs weighing one ounce or less, which the loon committee claims is the largest known cause of New Hampshire adult loon mortality.
The bill, which has passed the Senate and will soon come before the House, would take effect in 2015, giving anglers time to find non-lead tackle, which is widely available, said Tom O'Brien of the lakes association.
From 1989 to 2011, 124 adult loons were killed by lead fishing tackle on state water bodies, and lead tackle remains a daily threat to adult loons, according to attorney Sheridan Brown, a consultant to the loon committee.
The committee, which has built a network of 1,500 members and volunteers dedicated to safeguarding loons and other threatened and endangered species since it was formed in 1975, said the laws need to be changed.
Backers of the legislation are hopeful it will pass, saying legislators seem more informed about the bill this year, though again the state's Fish and Game Commission is not supporting it.
Opponents of the bill say they have evidence showing that loons are not as heavily affected by lead fishing tackle as the loon committee claims.
"To us, the scientific studies show the loons are picking up smaller stuff that has lead in it, nothing near the size of a jig," said Dick Smith of the New Hampshire Bass Federation.
Smith said a prohibition on lead jigs would affect more than 230,000 fishing enthusiasts every year in the state.
"From what we understand, the loon population is fairly stable," Smith said. "Even if they are right and a few loons get killed, our concerns should be with those who want to fish in our state."

Why should I listen to you about God?Recently I have been having some philosophical discussions with someone I work with. He's a very ardent and enthusiastic Christian. Upon learning about my lack of faith in any deity he took an interest in getting to know me better. Maybe he wants to convert me. He's never been too pushy, though, so I can overlook his lack of intellectual enlightenment over the pointless zealousness of his religious preference.The best part of my conversations … [Read more...]

Nearly 17 million Americans have diabetes. It is the sixth leading cause of death and disability in the United States and is associated with long-term complications that can cause blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, stroke, amputations, nerve damage and birth defects.
Research has shown that lowering blood glucose levels to near-normal range decreases the risk of the development and progression of diabetic complications by 40 to 75 percent.
So, blood glucose control can help you avoid complications. If you already have complications, learning to control your blood glucose could help you limit the progression of existing problems. In summary, "control" matters.
But, controlling your blood glucose can be a complicated matter. Blood glucose changes constantly and it is influenced by a host of factors such as your choice of food and how much you eat, the timing of your medication or insulin, your emotions, illnesses, your weight, and your body's resistance to insulin. Tight control is best achieved by working with your health care team. Your physician and diabetes education team can teach you how to take charge of your diabetes.

Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment (Patient)
General Information About Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell).
Adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; also called acute lymphocytic leukemia) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. This type of cancer usually gets worse quickly if it is not treated.
Normally, the bone marrow makes blood stem cells (immature cells) that develop into mature blood cells over time. A blood stem cell may become a myeloid stem cell or a lymphoid stem cell.
The myeloid stem cell develops into one of three types of mature blood cells:
The lymphoid stem cell develops into a lymphoblast cell and then into one of three types of lymphocytes (white blood cells):
In ALL, too many stem cells develop into lymphoblasts or lymphocytes. These cells may also be called leukemic cells. These leukemic cells are not able to fight infection very well. Also, as the number of leukemic cells increases in the blood and bone marrow, there is less room for healthy white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This may cause infection, anemia, and easy bleeding. The cancer can also spread to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
This summary is about adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia. See the following PDQ summaries for information on other types of leukemia:
Previous chemotherapy and exposure to radiation may increase the risk of developing ALL.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. People who think they may be at risk should discuss this with their doctor. Possible risk factors for ALL include the following:
Possible signs of adult ALL include fever, feeling tired, and easy bruising or bleeding.
The early signs of ALL may be similar to the flu or other common diseases. A doctor should be consulted if any of the following problems occur:
These and other symptoms may be caused by adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia or by other conditions.
Tests that examine the blood and bone marrow are used to detect (find) and diagnose adult ALL.
The following tests and procedures may be used:

3D character model I made for an animation I worked on with a partner. Fully modelled, rigged, and textured by me.
Rated 5 / 5 stars Nov 25, 2013
some of the textures and light are great, i have no way to give you any feedback on the rigging since all we see here are stills. i won't lie, it does seem a little clunky altogether. but still, looks like you did a great job with whatever the illustrator passed you, some really complex shapes and stuff in there. awesome work!
I am the illustrator lul :) Everything you see in this image is 100% by me.
I agree about some clunkiness, thanks for the review!

For gosh sakes, don't call it a speakeasy. Paper Plane partner/barman, Paul Calvert, would not approve.
But the new spot, hidden away behind a black door in the back of the recently opened Decatur location of Victory Sandwich Bar, sure feels like a sub rosa den of drink.
Paper Plane opens for business tonight. Last night, a claustrophobic soft opening had groups of young revelers partying loud, proud and cheek-by-jowl in the cozy, dimly lit space.
A sneak peek at the drink menu reveals some 16 wines by the glass and bottle, 15 bottled craft beers, and around a dozen cocktail creations by Calvert.
The appropriately christened Biggie Snugs ($8) is a wickedly refreshing concoction mixed with Johnny Drum 86 bourbon, Byrrh, lemon, ginger, honey, Bitter Truth Creole bitters and soda.
In the kitchen, Melissa Allen and Josh Sample are cooking up a short list of "fine foods" presented as medium-sized plates that recall the "modular" cocktail-friendly offerings at Sound Table.
On the opening menu: a creamy spring Vidalia and English pea soup ($6); steelhead trout with rhubarb, blood orange, watermelon radish and hakurei turnip ($14); braised short rib with cannellini bean puree, tamarind, onion and shallot ($13).

Bob Bashara has a new attorney. A Wayne County Circuit Court judge allowed his legal team to withdraw from the case.
Bashara was to be arraigned Tuesday on a charge of solicitation to murder, but Circuit Court Judge Bruce Morrow adjourned the case until August 7 to accommodate Bashara's new attorney, Mark Kriger, who has been unavailable due to a pending federal trial.
Bashara is accused of trying to hire a man to kill Joe Gentz, the handyman accused of murdering Bob's wife Jane.
David Griem and Christina Utley, who formerly represented Bashara, filed a motion earlier to month to be removed the case, citing a "irreparable breakdown in the attorney/client relationship."
"Certain things happened in the relationship which just made it impossible for the two of us to go together," said Griem outside the courthouse on Tuesday.
On the stand at Bashara's preliminary exam last week was star witness Steve Tibaudo, the man who says Bashara paid him $2,000 to find a hit man to kill Gentz in jail. However, he also testified Bashara first approached him last summer about killing a woman.
"He said he needed to have a tenant taken care of. And I said, 'What do you mean?' And he said, 'I would like to have her either T-boned or run over,'" Tibaudo testified. "'Do you know anybody that can take care of this for me?'"
Gentz is being held at the William Dickerson Detention Facility in Hamtramck on charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy charges in the strangulations of Jane Bashara.

Jefferson City, Mo. • The federal government shutdown that has idled hundreds of thousands of workers is starting to ripple through states, which are now laying off employees and warning of thousands of additional furloughs if the budget stalemate is not resolved soon.
The trickle-down effects highlight the extent to which states are dependent on the federal government. In many states, federal money comprises about a third of all revenues. As federal dollars dry up, so do state programs.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Across the nation, about a dozen states already have furloughed hundreds of employees whose paychecks depend on federal money. The layoffs have hit civilians at state National Guard bureaus, workplace safety inspectors and state workers who determine eligibility for Social Security disability benefits, among others.
More state employees could be furloughed this coming week.
"For me, it couldn't have come at a worse time," said Tammy Turner-Lee, a 54-year-old supervisor in Oklahoma's disability determination office who is targeted to be furloughed on Friday. "My husband is going through chemotherapy right now. ... If we are in furlough status, that means I am going to have to go into credit card debt."
Medicaid, the biggest federally funded state program, has remained exempt from the cutbacks. But federal officials have said other big state-administered programs — like food aid for low-income families — may have only enough money to make it through October.
As Congress and President Barack Obama remain at odds over the federal budget, some states have started to prepare for widespread furloughs.
Arkansas already has laid off 673 employees and could furlough an additional 4,000 if the federal shutdown continues for another week.
"The state of Arkansas simply does not have the resources to continue to cover the costs of federal programs," Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe wrote in a recent memo to agency directors.
Some states have avoided furloughs by tapping into accumulated federal funds while others are dipping into state coffers.
Maryland has continued to pay 11,000 employees because the Legislature set aside $100 million to plug holes created by federal budget battles. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback dipped into cash reserves to avoid 119 furloughs and reinstate dozens of others in an office that handles unemployment benefits.
But Florida Gov. Rick Scott took the opposite approach, ordering agencies not to use state money to cover typical federal expenses.
Furloughs of state workers are slowly mounting. There have been 56 so far Maine, more than 100 in Illinois, 244 in Arizona, more than 300 in Virginia and over 400 in Washington.
The disability office in Oklahoma's Department of Rehabilitation Services, where Turner-Lee works, halted its outgoing mail to stretch its dwindling federal dollars. But furloughs could kick in by week's end for 289 full-time and 39 temporary state employees.
The Oklahoma shutdown would affect nearly 18,000 people waiting for word on whether they can get disability benefits.
The entire staff of the Maine disability determination office already has been furloughed, meaning people with disabilities "are going to incur additional financial hardship," said Sara Squires, the public affairs director at the nonprofit Disability Rights Center in Augusta, Maine.
Other states such as Pennsylvania, Missouri and Michigan still are bracing for a big hit from the federal shutdown.
About 200 maintenance employees of the Missouri National Guard already are furloughed, but the state has several thousand additional federally funded employees.
The key date in Michigan in Oct. 20. If nothing is resolved by then, state officials will begin reviewing which 15,000 to 20,000 employees to furlough.
"If we are still in the same position a week from now, we've got some very real problems and concerns," said Kurt Weiss, a spokesman for the Michigan budget office.
Furloughed federal workers could eventually get paid if Congress later approves retroactive wages. But state workers dependent on federal funds could face complications because of quirks in local laws or collective bargaining contracts.Next Page >

MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin volleyball team was defeated by a 3-0 margin to Eastern Illinois (22-25, 21-25, 14-25) this afternoon at Skyhawk Fieldhouse.
The Skyhawks (7-11, 1-1 Ohio Valley Conference) were led offensively by Emily Keaton, who hit .250 while registering a match-high 11 kills. Lynsey Hazelwood (eight), Allie Whimpey (eight) and Shelby Hoskins (seven) also combined to do most of the damage for UT Martin today.
Amanda Crask (33 assists) and Chelsea Bowles (15 digs) also recorded match-high totals in their respective categories.
"It was a tough loss today," Skyhawk head coach Darrin McClure said. "We knew coming in that Eastern Illinois is a really good team and I give them a lot of credit. I don't think our girls were completely ready to play and things like this can happen, even on your home court."
UT Martin controlled the majority of the first set before a late Panther run. The Skyhawks led 7-2 thanks in part to three early kills by Hazelwood. Eastern Illinois would get within two at 9-7 but the Skyhawks would soon push their lead back out to six at 16-10. Back-to-back kills by Hoskins gave UT Martin the 19-15 edge but the Panthers would go on a 10-3 run to close out the set.
Keaton had five kills against just one error in 10 swings in the first set, while Crask (12 assists) and Bowles (eight digs) also guided the Skyhawks, who hit .263 in 38 attempts.
The Skyhawks led for the early stages of the second set before Eastern Illinois would open up an 8-5 lead. After the Panthers led 13-9, four straight points by UT Martin evened the score at 13-all. The two teams then swapped points before a 4-0 Eastern Illinois run made the score 18-14. A Hoskins kill and block by Keaton and Alisha Erves sliced the Skyhawk deficit to 18-16 but that would be as close as UT Martin would get the rest of the way.
Hazelwood's four kills and Crask's 12 assists paced the Skyhawks in the second set.
UT Martin trailed 3-0 to start the third set until a Hoskins kill got the Skyhawks on the scoreboard. Keaton provided a kill and service ace on back-to-back possessions to tie the score at 6-6 but the Panthers would answer with four unanswered points. Eastern Illinois led 15-9 and Keaton had a pair of kills for UT Martin's next two points but the Panthers concluded the set on a 9-3 run.
The Skyhawks continue their four-match OVC homestand this Tuesday, Oct. 1 when they play host to Southeast Missouri. First serve is scheduled for 6 p.m.

DC Universe Online (PS3 version)
Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido), Feb 08, 2011 10:20
DC Universe Online is, in case you've been living under a rock without any access to comic books or technology for the last few years. The long-awaited MMO based on DC Comics. It was cobbled together by the online gaming experts at Sony Online Entertainment and Warner Brothers Games.
DC Universe Online is, in no particular order, unstable, poorly designed, ultra-repetitive and not all that much fun really. It's certainly not the worst MMO available today, but for all the hype that surrounded its development, the fact the Jim Lee was attached to it and all the coolness that could have been, it's a huge disappointment.
I was really eager to play DC Universe Online, that is, until I saw Champions Online on the same day back in 2008 at GamesCom. Since then I had a sinking feeling about DCUO. Well, now it's here and my sinking has hit rock bottom. While I'm writing this, the game is attempting to load on the Playstation 3. I should rather say, it's gone to a black screen of doing nothingness which is going to force me to quit the game and restart it. Worst case scenario, it has hard locked the Playstation 3, again, and will, again, require a full system reboot.
So my major question is, how the hell did you make a game so bad that it locks up a system which never changes? I can understand some small amount of instability on the PC since there is a veritable endless array of hardware configurations available. But every Playstation 3 has just about the same hardware, not to mention that it's your system. So how could you not manage a fully stable game for it? Well, I've just given in and quit the game to go back to the... oh look, it rebooted the whole system, again. I've seen community ports of games from one platform to another that are far more stable than this game is.
