Just weeks after dropping $127K on a Mercedes convertible, Miley Cyrus hit the streets looking for yet another sexy set of wheels ... ALL WITHOUT WEARING A BRA -- and TMZ has the bouncy video evidence.
Sources tell TMZ, Miley saw the panty-melting '69 Mustang Fastback marked "for sale" on the street in L.A. last week ... and quickly set up a time to check it out in person.
According to sources, the owner drove the car to Miley's house so she could take a closer look -- and she inspected the car inside and out ... wearing a pair of denim short-shorts, a vintage Beatles t-shirt, and ZERO lady support.
The car was on sale for $23,000 -- a steal if you ask us -- but in the end, we're told Miley passed on it ... because the price tag was a bit too high.
The perks of being famous.
Uncontroled slutty girls are one of the worst things to happen. Another one with crazy parents. Just look at her brother with just 23 years old.
What is she trying to do bargain shop? That car is cool and a piece of history. Stars drop that much money on some goofy handbag. She could have gotten it and driven around like a real Tennesse Dukes of Hazard type hick.
I don't know why people are in caps shock over her not wearing a bra. For one thing, she was at home. For another thing her breasts are not sagging. Furthermore, so what if they were? Does that make you a bad woman or a pervert if your breasts are seen sagging? They are milk production appendages, they are not genitals.
People have sick and dirty minds. They need to stop worrying about who is not wearing a bra like it proves something. All it proves is that the woman is not so fake as to have pads and lifts disguising what is really there.
She needs the attention. She hasn't done anything but make a fool of herself since the Disney show. Her concerts go nowhere. She doesn't have the Disney hype and promotion machine anymore. Good thing she made a ton of money.
That car is sick. & for $23000.00 I woulda bought it. & about the bra guys, how old is she? give me a break, many girls that age do that. and older actually. not to mention it's not like she was JOGGING without a bra. - The car, worth the story, the bra thing kinda lame
Why are they looking at her chest? Why do they care about her not wearing a bra come one sooooo many people in my town walk around bra less because you can see anything
and?? lots of women go around braless at one time or another. Myself included. Some days you just don't feel like it.
#Kitnplyn: Proverbs 23:20-21 Gluttony, do you know who wrote proverbs? Solomon, your going to believe and put your faith in him who lived 2000 years ago. Go practice your bible thumping on your family and don't push it to everyone else, or us atheist will all rise up.
She passed on buying the Mustang because its hard to find a trailer in that color to pull behind it.

text: The challenge to the election results [JURIST report] follows a decision by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) earlier this month calling the elections complex but credible and transparent. The IEBC has urged the candidates to accept the commission's official results. Also this month Odinga appealed [JURIST report] the decision to the high court. Odinga has accused electoral authorities of "electoral theft" and stated that he is appealing the results of the election to "ensure elections count." Police dispersed [BBC report] a crowd of Odinga's supporters outside the Kenyan Supreme Court after they were told that they would not be allowed to congregate. Odinga called on his supporters not to resort to violence and stated that he would respect the decision of the Supreme Court, whatever the result. In March the Supreme Court ordered the parties involved in the dispute to restrain from making public statements [JURIST report] with regard to the case. The court also warned civic groups and journalists that they could face punishment for biased statements that could undermine the court's authority. Kenyatta has been charged by the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] with crimes against humanity arising from violence following Kenya's disputed 2007 presidential election. In March, Kenyatta asked [JURIST report] the ICC to drop the charges against him for lack of evidence. The request came amid the withdrawal of charges against Francis Muthaura [JURIST report] on the same day.

U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference, made the following statement today on the president's remarks addressing financial regulatory reform:
For more than a year hard-working families have been forced to bailout the bad decisions of Wall Street and the failed policies of the federal government. The American people have had enough with the bailout mania that has come to consume Washington. Unfortunately, the president's plan for regulatory reform protects the status-quo, ensuring American taxpayers continue to be the lender of last resort. Instead of providing taxpayers with an exit strategy for the government's involvement on Wall Street, the president proposes more of the same. This is unacceptable to the American people.
The best medicine to fix our broken financial sector are strong doses of transparency, accountability and personal responsibility. I am proud to support a Republican alternative to the president's plan, one that ends the mania of bailouts, prevents the government from picking winners and losers, and that puts personal responsibility back into our markets. The president should abandon his plan to preserve the status-quo, and work with House Republicans on a real solution for financial regulatory reform that the American people deserve.

Watch Dudes Get Beat With Hammers Again, For The First Time
Because motherfuckers refuse to read subtitles, here's the trailer for Spike Lee's remake of Park Chan Wook's seminal Oldboy. If you're unfamiliar with the original Korean film, it's the story of a dude kidnapped for 20 years, who's released to take revenge on his captors. It's one of the rawest movies of the last decade. Dudes get beat with hammers. Animals get eaten alive. Drunk Koreans sing karaoke. Simultaneously, wildly violent and poetic. I can not stress enough, that you should watch this movie.
This remake though…I dunno man. To be fair, this trailer looks as faithful to the style and visuals of the original film as possible. Spike Lee is a great director when he doesn't get sucked into a pit of broad racial commentary, Josh Brolin can act his ass off, and Elizabeth Olsen almost redeems her sisters post Full House existence. However, something just feels off about this whole enterprise, the original Oldboy is only ten years old. It's beautifully shot, tightly written, and paced. It's damn near perfect. The only "flaw" it has; it's in Korean.
I guess that's enough to warrant remake for 'Murica. I'mma preemptively say "fuck this movie".

This tastes as good as take-out chinese food, and just as fast (probably faster)!
Printable Recipe
1lb diced ham
2 tbsp catalina dressing
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 cup catalina dressing
1 can pineapple tidbits (juice reserved)
1 chopped bell pepper
1 cup water
1 tsp ground ginger
8 oz steam fried noodles
Brown ham in 2 tbsp Catalina dressing. Add soy sauce, pineapple and peppers and cook 10 minutes. Add another 1/2 cup dressing, reserved pineapple juice, water and ginger. Add noodles to pan. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently and adding more water if necessary. Cook until noodles are soft, about 10-15 minutes.
If you're wondering why I have a lot of recipes with ham lately, it's because my mom sent me home with a big chunk of it left over from dinner at her place one night. This dinner used up the last of it.
My boys liked the pineapple the best (no big surprise there!). They picked it out and ate it first. That was about all that Cole ate, but Bennett was a little more adventurous and eventually ate most of what was on his plate. I thought it was pretty yummy, and I was happy how easy it was to make.

Lemon-Soy Chicken and Rice
This is one of my favourite meals that my mom used to make when I was a kid. It's one of the first recipes I remember learning from her, and I still use it quite often for a nice Sunday dinner. It's so easy to make, but tastes like you put a lot more effort into it!
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp ginger
1 clove crushed garlic
1 cup white rice
water/ low-sodium chicken broth
Preheat oven to 350F. Sprinkle rice evenly in bottom of greased casserole dish, arrange chicken pieces over rice. Mix soy sauce, lemon juice, oil, pepper, ginger and garlic in a 2-cup measuring cup, then add water or broth up to the 2-cup mark.
Pour over the chicken and rice. Cover and bake for 1 hour, uncover and bake for another 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside and rice is cooked.
My family knows this meal quite well so I didn't really have any comments from them. It's good, they know it, they ate it, the end. This time I didn't have broth but I had powdered instant chicken stock so I put in a 1/2 tsp of that with the water. It worked great. I really love the rice, it's so moist and full of flavour. I can't get enough!

Tuna Tetrazzini
A creamy, cheesy tuna cassserole that's ready in no time. It's my go-to recipe when I can't think of anything else to make!
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped stalk of celery
4 cups rotini
1 can mushroom soup
1/2 can of milk
1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1 can tuna
Preheat oven to 350F. Heat oil in large frying pan and medium heat and saute onion and celery until soft. Add mushroom soup and milk, simmer until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. Cook pasta according to package directions, adding the frozen peas and corn to boiling water along with the pasta. Drain pasta and veggies in colander and combine with the sauce. Mix in tuna. Put in a casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
We had this one night when Tony was working, so it was just me and the boys. Bennett couldn't seem to get enough of the stuff; he ate several helpings. Cole, the pickier one, only ate a few bites. After his bath I managed to coax him to eat a bit more because I told him he couldn't have any fruit until he did. That's pretty typical for him. I think Tony must have liked it too, it was all gone the next day!

Pizza Soup
What better way to enjoy soup than to add your favourite pizza ingredients to it? Make it in the crockpot or just simmer on the stovetop. The leftovers are great for lunches too.
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup diced ham, smoked turkey, or hard pepperoni
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 small green pepper, diced
In large skillet, heat oil over med-high heat, saute onion, garlic, mushrooms, oregano, salt and pepper until onions are soft. Add half the broth and bring to boil. Pour into slow cooker with remaining broth, ham, tomatoes and tomate paste. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Stir in green pepper and cook on high until tender, about 20 minutes. Taste before serving and add more oregano to taste if needed.
If you don't want to use the crockpot, just simmer on low on the stovetop for about an hour.
I served this with cheese-bread sticks as it seemed to go with the pizza theme. Cole liked helping to prepare and serve the soup (and even acted as a hand model in my photo, as you can see), but didn't seem to enjoy the eating of the soup so much. I don't think he was very hungry because he didn't do much justice to his cheese-bread either, and usually he likes that a lot. Bennett wasn't overly interested either. I guess it was just an 'off' day. I ate all mine and enjoyed dipping my bread in it. I packed some in their lunches the following day and it was all gone when they came home so I'm assuming they liked it. I had some the next day for lunch as well and found that the flavour had improved overnight. It reminded me a lot of minstrone soup, but without beans and pasta. I think I prefer minstrone actually, but this soup certainly wasn't bad.

Cheesy Ham and Broccoli Casserole
Basically this is macaroni and cheese with broccoli and ham added in to make a more complete meal. It's real comfort food.
2 cups uncooked macaroni
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground mustard
1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups cut broccoli
1 cup diced ham
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan
Heat oven to 350. Cook macaroni as directed. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, mustard and worcestershire sauce. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in cheese until melted.
Drain macaroni. Gently stir macaroni, broccoli and ham into cheese mixture. Pour into ungreased casserole dish. Top with breadcrumbs and parmesan. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
I'm aware this isn't the healthiest of meals, but mmm-mmm it's good! The broccoli makes it at least a little healthy anyway. Now, you can adjust this to be less fattening by decreasing the butter to 2 tablespoons, using skim milk and reduced-fat cheese. You could use whole-grain macaroni too if you want.
It went over pretty well with my family. The boys actually really loved the broccoli the most (or 'bobby' as Bennett calls it). Tony went back for seconds so that was a good sign! I'll have to try the healthier version next time and see if they like it as much.

Turkey Kielbasa and Lentil Stew
Here's another great crockpot recipe- a working mom's best friend! Kielbasa (otherwise known as Polish or Ukrainian sausage) gives this dish a wonderful smokey flavour, and the lentils add a hearty texture. It's one tasty way to add legumes to your diet. By using the turkey version of this sausage, you cut out some of the fat and sodium that is usually found in regular kielbasa.
2 cups water
1 cube of vegetable bouillon
1 1/2 cups lentils, rinsed
1 pound turkey kielbasa sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 stalks celery, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (16 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (or more if you like it spicey)
Place all ingredients except spices in slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Stir in spices about 10 minutes before serving.
Even with the lower sodium turkey kielbasa I still found this a bit too salty for my liking. I might try half a bouillon cube next time. Otherwise it was pretty tasty. Tony seemed to enjoy it. He asked me, "what's in this, carrots?" Nice guess anyway. Cole wasn't too thrilled about it, he only ate a couple bites and then wanted to just eat garlic bread but I wouldn't let him because he didn't eat enough dinner. Bennett ate most of his dinner and then moved on to the bread.

Impossible Pumpkin Pie
My mom used to make Impossible Pie made with coconut. She just threw all the ingredients in the blender, poured it into a pie dish, baked it, and magically it made it's own crust. I thought this was a pretty neat idea, so I tried out this pumpkin pie version. It has all the goodness of an actual pumpkin pie, but so much easier!
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup Bisquick
2 tbsp margarine
1 can evaporated milk (13 oz)
2 eggs
1 can pumpkin (16 0z)
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp ginger
2 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 9 or 10" pie plate. Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into pie plate. Bake until knife inserted into centre comes out clean (50-55 min).
Garnish with whipped cream.
I was in a hurry and totally messed up the amounts of spices (too much cloves and nutmeg AND I forgot the vanilla), but luckily this pie is pretty forgiving so it still tasted fine. I think the whipped cream helped tone it down a bit. We had dinner at a friend's place tonight, and this is the dessert I brought along. It went over very well. Cole actually thanked me for making it (well, he thanked my friend because he thought she made it, but she corrected him and then he thanked me). I saw Tony sneak seconds when he thought no one was looking. Bennett gobbled his up too. I would definitely make this again.

Balsamic Maple Pork Tenderloin
Meat is usually one of the toughest things to get kids to eat, but you might just discover they enjoy this roasted pork tenderloin topped with a rich-colored sweet and tangy sauce. It's a very tender meat, as long as you're careful not to overcook it, so kids will find it easier to chew than a lot of other meats. Best of all it's incredibly lean, so it's a good healthy choice.
1 lb pork tenderloin
2 tbsps dijon mustard, divided
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 clove crushed garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsps maple syrup
1 tsp dried rosemary (or fresh would be even better)
Preheat oven to 425F. Combine 1 tbsp mustard, salt, pepper, garlic in a small bowl. Rub onto pork. Heat oil in large ovenproof skillet (I used cast-iron) over medium heat. Add pork and brown on all sides for 3-5 minutes. Put skillet in oven and roast until meat thermometer reads 145F, takes about 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil while you make the sauce. Place skillet over medium heat (watch out, handle is hot, as I know from burning myself on it!), add vinegar and boil, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon for about 30 seconds. Then whisk in maple syrup, remaining tablespoon of mustard and rosemary. Bring to boil again, reduce heat and simmer until sauce has thickened (about 5 minutes). Slice the pork and pour sauce over it.
I loved this and so did the whole family. That's an impressive feat! Cole miraculously asked for seconds (and thirds), Bennett said "yum, yum, yum, yum!!", and Tony said sauce was really good. That's a lot coming from Tony, he doesn't compliment food unless he seriously likes something, and I appreciate his honesty in that respect. So there you have it- another successful dinner!

Spinach & Cheese Ravioli with Pumpkin Pesto Sauce
This is one of the fastest meals I know, it's ready in less that 10 minutes. It's yummy, and your kids will have no clue you're feeding them spinach and pumpkin!
350g spinach and cheese ravioli (I like Olivieri)
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
2 tbsp jarred basil pesto
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
Add ravioli to pot of boiling water and cook according to package directions (usually about 6 minutes). Drain into colander. Heat pumpkin, pesto and parmesan in pasta pot at medium heat until hot, then return ravioli to the pot and mix gently until evenly coated.
This is a small dinner, it only fed me and the 2 boys with not enough left over for another person. Luckily my husband was working so it was a perfect portion for us. If you have a larger family, you can buy a family-sized pack of ravioli (700g) and double this recipe.
It was a huge hit with Bennett, my 15-month-old. He scorfed down what was on his plate, passed it to me and said "more?". I had to refill his dish 3 times! Cole ate a decent amount (for Cole) and he said it was good. I was a bit put off by the way the sauce looked (it reminded me a little too much of the diaper I changed earlier), but once I tasted it I quickly forgot about that. It was delicious! I imagine it would be equally yummy with sun-dried tomato pesto sauce, and maybe might look more appealing too? I'll have to give it a try sometime.
Apple and Cheddar Snacking Cake
I just love the combination of apple and cheddar in this cake. It's packed full of fruit, cheese, and oats, so it makes a nice healthy snack (or even breakfast or lunch) for the whole family.
2/3 cup quick oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp melted margarine
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup quick oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 egg
1 large apple cut in small chunks
Preheat oven to 350F. For topping, stir together oats, sugar, cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in melted margarine. Set aside. For batter, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and cheese in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, combine applesauce, milk, sugar, oil, egg, and apple. Add flour mixture, stirring until just moistened. Pour batter into a greased 8" square pan. Sprinkle with topping. Bake for 45-50 minutes, check it with a toothpick or knife to make sure it's done. You can also try these as muffins, just adjust heat to 400F and bake 20 minutes.
I made this today while the kids were napping, thinking it would be a good snack for them when they woke up. Unfortunately they didn't agree, they were more interested in getting into what was left of the christmas candy. I finally managed to entice my younger son Bennett and he seemed to like it. It was very moist, I thought it was maybe a little too moist at first, but once it cooled down it was perfect. Cole doesn't know what he's missing!

Belgian Beef Stew
Alright, I know that beer doesn't sound very kid-friendly, but the alcohol evaporates while cooking, really! Of course, you can finish off the rest of the can or bottle of beer yourself if you'd like; that's a nice perk of this meal. It's a crockpot recipe, which is especially handy if you're out all day at work or some other activity and don't have much time to prep when you get home. It's easy to prepare the night before and throw in the crockpot before you leave the next day.
2 lbs cubed stewing beef
1/4 cup flour (or enough to coat meat)
1 tsp seasoning salt
one large onion, chopped
1 tbsp butter
1 cup dark beer or stout
1 pressed clove garlic...or more!
1/2 tsp sugar
2 cups new potatoes, chopped
1 1/2 cups baby carrots
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
salt and pepper (to taste)
Saute the onions lightly in 1 tbsp butter until transparent and set aside. Sprinkle meat with flour and seasoning salt. Brown in remaining butter, adding more butter or oil if needed. Brown cubes on all sides. In a saucepan, combine and bring just to boil the beer, garlic and sugar. In a crock-pot, put in carrots and potatoes, then meat and onions, then pour beer mixture over top (if you like your veggies more firm and less mushy like I do, don't put the carrots and potatoes in until about an hour or two before serving, and turn the crockpot on high when you do to make sure they cook through). Cook for 6-8 hours on low setting. Stir in spices about 10 minutes before serving (I like to do this with crockpot recipes, otherwise I find the spices get diluted with the long cooking time).
I was going to add mushrooms too, but when I went to the grocery store today they were sold out. That's right, they had NO mushrooms! Just my luck. Anyway, it was still very good without the mushrooms. It seemed to be a hit with the boys, they both ate it. I asked my older son Cole if he liked it and he said "yes sir Mommy!" My husband Tony didn't get to enjoy it because he was working tonight but I'm sure it'll make great leftovers.
Just a Little Introduction
My New Year's resolution is to start a blog and stick to it. I've tried writing blogs in the past but they tend to fizzle out quickly. I'm thinking maybe the problem is that I usually write about my entire life in general, which is a lot of information to cover, and let's face it, mostly not that interesting even to me. This time I've narrowed it down to one topic that is near to my heart: Food! More specifically, I plan to write about kid-friendly food. Now, I don't claim to be a super skilled chef, but I do like food and preparing it for my family. I make it every day, 3 times a day, so I figure I'm bound to pick up some good meal ideas along the way. Still, I can't count how many times I make what I think is a delicious meal only to have my 3-year-old scoff at it and say "I don't like that," without even trying it. It drives me bonkers! So I'm going to share my adventures in food with you. Some will be tasty, and some probably not so tasty, but hopefully interesting. I'll regularly post my meals and my family's reactions to these meals. If you have any amazing recipes that you think my family might like, please share them with me and I'll try them out and post the result on my blog for others to see.

Preseason: Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers has now played two preseason games without a touchdown pass, but at least his drives culminated in field goals last week, which was an improvement over the first game. He will have to find a way to get in the end zone this week against the Seahawks, as they have looked mighty good in their first two warm-up games. They cruised to victory over San Diego and Denver, and put up a good number of points in both games. Green Bay is going to have to score to stay in this one, so Rodgers and his offense need to start clicking.

Pepperdine's Dean Linda A. Livingstone Elected to AACSB International Board of Directors
Linda A. Livingstone, dean of the Pepperdine University Graziadio School of Business and Management, has been elected to the Board of Directors of AACSB International, the premier association that accredits business schools. Livingstone will serve a three-year term, effective July 1, 2009, and be among 10 prominent management education and business professionals appointed to the board for 2009-2010.
"I am honored to contribute to AACSB's policy governance as a board member and to have been chosen to serve our peers, our students, and our community in a role that helps us all advance quality management education worldwide through accreditation and thought leadership," Livingstone says.
AACSB International is an association of more than 1,100 educational institutions, businesses and other organizations in 70 countries. It serves as the premier accrediting body for institutions offering undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees in business and accounting.
Livingstone has served as the first woman dean of Pepperdine University Graziadio School of Business and Management since 2002. She oversaw a $200 million expansion of the business school's regional campuses, increased the school's international partnerships to 30 business schools around the world, and led the school to membership in the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative and as a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Management Education.
Livingstone serves on the Board of Directors of the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), is a member of the Impact of Business Schools Task Force for AACSB International, and is a member of Young President's Organization (YPO). She received her B.S., M.B.A., and Ph.D. from Oklahoma State University.

Preview: Boston Celtics vs. Orlando Magic |
11.30.08 at 10:01 pm ET |
On Monday night the Boston Celtics (16-2) will take on the Orlando Magic (13-4) at the TD BankNorth Garden. The presence of Dwight Howard makes the Magic an Eastern Conference contender but, despite successful regular season records, Superman hasn't been able to carry his team to the Eastern Conference Finals. After last season, the road to the championship goes through Boston and the Magic surely know it. Monday's game could be a preview of a future postseason battle.
In the Last Five Games …
The Celtics enter this game on an eight-game winning streak while the Magic have won their last four. Both teams have been running up the scoreboard in the last five games. The Celtics have averaged 104.6 points while winning by an average 13.8 points; the Magic have averaging 102.8 ppg while winning by a less impressive 6.6 ppg. They have been nearly identical on the glass. Even though Howard leads the league in blocks, the Celtics have the slight advantage as of late. The Cs have also held their opponents to less than 18 assists per game, a troubling stat for the Magic who have been playing without point guard Jameer Nelson.
Superman's Kryptonite
Dwight Howard looks to bring his show-stopping antics to Boston and dominate his way through the paint. Howard (21.8 ppg, 13.9 rpg, 3.9 bpg) will be a challenging match up for the foul-prone Kendrick Perkins. The only silver lining for the Celtics is Howard's inconsistency at the free throw line (57.3% FT). He shot 21-42 in three games against the Cs last season.
All Banged Up
While this game could be a playoff preview, it will be without a handful of key players. The Magic's Jameer Nelson (hip), Mickael Pietrus (thumb), and Keith Bogans (thumb) suffered early-season injuries. This leaves holes at the point guard spot, on the wing, and on the bench. The Celtics should expect to see more of shooting guards J.J. Redick and Courtney Lee. Veteran PG Anthony Johnson has been starting in place of Nelson and will try to contain the streaking Rajon Rondo. These injuries are depleting the Magic reserves and creating a daunting task to stop the Celtics deep bench.
Long-Range Game
In the past five games the Magic have held their opponents to a staggering 28% from three-point range. Their biggest challenge will be stopping Ray Allen, who is shooting 56% from downtown during that same stretch. On the contrary, Paul Pierce is shooting just 15.4%. Ironically Allen's former teammate, forward Rashard Lewis, has the hot hand for the Magic (47.2% 3PG last five games). There's also no telling if one time NCAA-phenom J.J. Redick will find his groove.

Clearly defined roles, responsibilities and expectations are critical in emergency situations.
The principal is responsible for over-all planning, the final content of any Emergency Response Plan, scheduling of drills, inviting police, fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to participate in and be aware of planning and drills, training of students and for the overall safety of staff and students. In an actual incident (not a drill), the police are responsible for management of the threat and subsequent criminal investigation, however the principal shall provide full cooperation with police.
School staff, and in particular administrators, have the overall responsibility for the training, safety and well being of students. Administrators during a violent incident have additional responsibilities in terms of working closely with police.
Students have a responsibility to be familiar with the plan and to respond quickly to the direction of staff during a crisis situation. Any student with information or prior knowledge of an individual or a potential situation which may result in a violent incident must come forward with that information as soon as possible. This is also the case during an incident.
Police are responsible to respond to and investigate violent incidents. During a violent incident, police will assume command and control of the response and investigation but will liaise and work closely with school administration and other emergency services, throughout the process.
Parents and guardians must be informed of the existence of this plan and should reinforce with their children, student responsibilities to follow directions during a crisis and disclose any information they may have prior to or during a crisis situation.

Ordered a case of wine from Great Western Wine in Bristol.
UK mail delivered it in 48 hours, in perfect condition.
Pretty good as we live 200 miles away from Brisol.
ps the wine is good too !
Quality, branded product, well packed and delivered the following day.
No passwords to remember when ordering - just outstanding service !
Highly recommended.
Goods were accurately described and were delivered within 48 hours.
Price was extremely competeive. Recommended.
Ordered some led replacement lamps one afternoon and they were delivered the next day.
The final price was better than one of their competitors "special offers".
A great product, competetively priced and outstanding delivery - what more do you want ?
Tried instant streaming now we have BT vision and a smart tv.
What a waste of time !
Seems that much of their film catalogue is not available for instant streaming, though they don't tell you this beforehand.
Only 1 out of 10 on this one Lovefilm / Amazon.
Ordered a platform truck online one day and it was delivered the next morning.
Product was exactly what I expected and the delivery driver was very helpful,. I didn't want the hassle of disposing of the pallet so he even removed the goods from the pallet and took it away with him when I asked if he would.
Outstanding !
Wasn't too sure as I had never heard of the Company, but on line reviews were favourable so I sent my old varifocals to be reglazed, together with my recent prescription.
Two weeks later, as promised, my "new" glasses arrived. They are just like new.
Highly delighted with the product and the service.
I have no hesitation in recommending this Company, and will certainly use them again.
Delivered within 48 hours again.
Good product, good price, prompt delivery.

Software Engineering Chair (Prof. Zeller) Saarland University – Computer Science Campus E1 1 66123 Saarbrücken, Germany E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Phone: +49 681 302-70983 |
Who I AmSince February 2011 I am working as a scientific assistant at the Software Engineering chair. Already before the start of my dissertation, I did a lot of work and research in the field of Software Engineering. ResearchMy research interests lie in the field of dynamic analyses, and program transformations especially for automated parallelization of sequential programs. My belief is that in irregular programs (which is the majority of today's applications) it is very hard to prove the independence of certain parts in order to parallelize them. So with static analyses alone you are unable to extract substantial parallelism, and this is where dynamic techniques will prove beneficial. By combining for example static identification of beneficial regions with speculative execution and contention management (for example by using STM techniques) we may leverage a much larger amount of the available parallelism. PublicationsThese are my most important publications:
You can find and download all my publications at the chair's publications page. ProjectsFor my bachelor's thesis I implemented a dynamic slicer for Java, called JavaSlicer. It is available as open source, and although still unstable already used for several research projects. ContactThe easiest and safest way to reach me is via Mail.

I was out with Arthur last night – planned to go to this Indonesian and Indian restaurant but unfortunately it was closed. It seems to be closed every time we want to go. Haha. Anyway, the second option was Payung Cafe in Sibu.
We both like this place for the ambiance – I've been there when Payung Cafe opened and it has gotten even better since then. Arthur knows the owners very well and their food is always consistently good.
Durian Shake (RM 8)
This is made with durians and you can have the ice cream version too. The waiter kindly asked me if I wanted more durians in it. Of course I said yes and the result is:
They use cooked durian flesh for this and after the addition of more it tastes better than any durian shakes I've ever had. The taste is so strong it qualifies as a dessert. :D
Bumbung Soda (RM 5)
I loved Arthur's reaction when he drank this one – he gave an involuntary shudder and said it was way too sour. Haha! It's made with several different fruits, cucumber among them. Bumbung literally means "roof" so it's apt that Arthur hit the roof (in a way) after sipping it.
Garlic Bread ( RM 8)
This is a great appetizer – the garlic bread is fresh and goes very well with the chicken dip that's served on the side. The chicken has bits of meat inside and it's creamy and a perfect match for the warm garlic bread.
Bangladesh Curry Lamb (RM 17)
I had this before and I quite liked it. It's Arthur's order and they're quite generous with the portions, probably coz of what he commented last time. ;)
There's a huge chunk of lamb inside too, it takes a concerted effort to pry it apart but I like lamb meat with lots of tendons.
Assam Chicken (RM 16)
This is what I opted for – it's not too bad, tastes a little bit like the belimbing prawn pasta but that's where the similarities end. I thought it was okay too but then I was quite hungry at this point.
Otak-otak (RM 12)
They make this in-house every day and it's spicy as hell. Lovely stuff though, a must-order if you're in Payung.
Chinese New Year fruit cake (RM 75 per loaf)
They gave this free of charge to us – it's quite tasty, and different from the dry and tough as nails fruitcakes that you can use to clobber people and kidnap them. Payung Cafe's CNY fruit cake is steamed and it's soft and moist. Different, but I though it was nice.
It's an awesome dinner as always, good company and great times! :D
22 Responses to "Payung Cafe revisited with CNY cakes"
You mean completely sour? Not even a taste of sugar to balance the acidity out? Whoa, no wonder Arthur shuddered after taking a sip.
I presume it is a healthy drink then. =)
The Payung otak-otak surely resembles the Muar version and it should pack more punch than the latter. The latter is spicy, but it has wayyy too much salt in it.
Haha! I guess it's slightly more sour than usual – I mean, I would shudder at ice lemon tea too, at most places actually.
I'm not cut out for sour drinks either.
It is however, a pretty healthy drink.
Yup, that's the best thing about the Payung otak-otak – made fresh and it's really, really spicy. Good stuff! :)
…and all this while, I've been saying that fat people don't like sour things. Guess that's a broad generalisation…seeing that you are not into such stuff too. Blerk! I'd better stick to their very nice pineapple & ginger soda. Will not order that again! LOL!!!
Haha! I think it's been scientifically shown that *most* guys don't like sour stuff.
They tend to prefer salty stuff.
Yup, the pineapple and ginger soda is pretty good. :)
the first choice, the restaurant that was closed … it specializes in BOTH indian and indonesian food? that sounds like it'd be an interesting mix … could theoretically order some gado-gado for starters and eat it with indian raita, followed by a double-fowl whammy of ayam penyet and chicken tikka masala? and then es teler and kulfi for dessert! :D
Yeah, I've not managed to go there yet since everytime I wanted to go, it was closed.
We were left pondering if it's closed for good.
The restaurant plays on the "In" syllable that's shared by Indonesia and Indian food.
I thought it was a great concept, with chefs from both places (Indonesia and India) but I've not had the chance to eat there yet. I'm sure I will though, considering it's still a couple of more days since CNY. :D
Will find out and see whether we can drop by one of these days while you're still in town.
Yeah, that'll be great! I've always wondered how that place would taste like! :)
Thanks for the dinner, Huai Bin. Always enjoy your company. My post on this is scheduled for tomorrow. Eyewwwww….that photo! You certainly caught me in an awkward position/moment.LOL!!! Hmmmm…your photo of the lanterns is nicer than mine… ;)
No worries buddy! :)
The pleasure is mine! It's always good catching up with you.
Haha! Well, I warned you I was going to take a photo. ;)
I thought you look nice and happy in that one.
See you soon Arthur! :D
LOL!!! Always happy with good food and great company! ;)
Oooh next time if I go to Sibu, must come here to makan!
Any idea on why is it called Payung Cafe?-
Yeah, it's one of the best places to eat in Sibu at night. :)
The place is situated well, there's no air conditioning but it's beside a lane that channels wind down so it's all nice and cool outside.
Payung Cafe – good question, I've always thought it was coz of the umbrellas on display at the roof and the concept of getting all cuisines around the area under one roof. :D
Normally, I would not touch otak otak but assuring me that Payung Cafe serves the best otak-otak,I had my first bite. Yummmmssss…I will only buy Payung's otak-otak.ehhehhehhe
Yeah, it's pretty good eh? :)
A far cry from the mass produced otak otak you can see elsewhere.
It's plenty spicy though (at least for Sibu palates – Foochows are "known" – at least that's the generalization – to have sensitive palates with regards to spicy food).

Good to see you home spending time with family and friends HB. Looking forward to your annual CNY fire cracker posts! :)
Yup! I've been spending a lot of time at home now that all my family is back. :)
I'll start to write about the fireworks and firecrackers tomorrow!
Actually today, since it's past midnight. It's been raining all the while so I haven't had a chance to dry them out yet. I've set my alarm for the hottest time of the day – just need about 30 minutes outside for any moisture during transportation and storage in the flashpowder to evaporate.
Cheers bro! :D
wow.. having a feast with Arthur! Sorry for the lack of comments these two weeks as I was in London. Lots of catching up to do on your posts~!
Yup! It's good to meet up with him again! :)
London! How nice!
Good to have you back Eiling and happy CNY! :D
Hmm…the otak otak looks good. And what a great decor….it's super chinese..
Yup, the otak otak is perhaps one of the signature dishes of this place. Authentic and they make it themselves. :)
The decor doesn't look like this normally, it's very chill and subdued.
It's just been CNY-ed up. Haha!
Happy CNY! :D

Creating a Lulu Book Cover with Pixel
To review, in the last article we uploaded our sample text document in .pdf format to the Lulu Web site. Now, we need to create our custom cover. With Lulu, you can upload two different images, one for the front and one for the back. Or, you can design your own wrap-around cover, including the spine.
I chose to upload two different images for this tutorial. Wrap-around images look nice, but making one for an 8.5 x 11 book requires 1242 x 810 PostScript points. At 300 dpi, a file in Pixel can be large and difficult to manipulate.
Lulu's standards for an 8.5 x 11 book cover are 2663 x 3525 pixels and no less than 300 dpi. In Pixel, go to File→New, and a creation box opens (Figure 4). Enter the dimensions as shown in the example. In the lower-right corner, you will see the memory requirements for this file are 35.8MB. Press OK, and Pixel creates a blank document template (Figure 5). Now you have a blank page to create your cover art.
To keep artwork simple for the tutorial, use your mouse to change the foreground color as shown in Figure 6. Pixel opens a color chooser for you to select nearly any shade you want (Figure 7). Choose your colors wisely. Not all will transfer into the shade you expect during printing. You should consider using a color management system if you have specific needs.
Next, I decided to use Gradient G to spice up the background of the cover. Use your mouse to select the gradient button on the left of your screen (Figure 8). Drag your mouse by pressing the left-mouse button from the top of your cover to the bottom. This tells Pixel which direction to draw the gradient (Figure 9). I mentioned earlier that Pixel's operation is intuitive. When you select the gradient button, look to the bottom right of the screen; the program gives you hints on how to use the feature or effect (Figure 10).
After the screen updates, you should have a sample cover that looks similar to the one shown in Figure 11.
Because a blank cover won't do much good on the bookshelf, we need to add text. Adding text is similar to adding color and gradients.
Use your mouse to select the text button (Figure 12). Position your cursor over any area on the working cover and use it to expand the text box. When complete, type and format the text for the cover (Figure 13). After typing the text, use the character controls in the bottom right-hand side of the screen to adjust any preferences with the text.
At this point, you can add other colors, images or just about anything else you like for the cover art.
For Lulu.com book covers: Inkscape and The GIMP
Not sure if things have changed since the time this article was written, but I just created a book cover for my LyX-produced work for Lulu.com (dust-cover hardbound book) using their single-file upload feature using Inkscape and The GIMP. Perhaps they use a different mechanism for laminated hardbounds or paperbacks.
For dust-jacket covered hardbound books at least, Lulu.com calculates what the page dimensions should be and tells you them in plain English. You then just manually enter them to create a new document in Inkscape (I also used guidelines for bleeds, margins, etc.).
I modified a huge raster image in The GIMP and saved it as a PNG. Inkscape easily allowed me to import the PNG and then do the rest of the design within Inkscape, saving as a PDF to Lulu.com's specs with no problem at all.
**And** I did all this, including the LyX work for the interior pages, on an 8-year-old Mac running a Mac OS X version that came out more than 4 years ago (10.4). I was worried I wouldn't be able to do stuff like this with this machine.
Title of sample book
Why not rename the book from "The Pain of Computers Without Linux" to "The Pain (and Point?) of Having to Purchase Commercial Software for Linux"?
or ...
... even Inkscape for that matter
Why wouldn't you base the graphics part on GIMP rather than a commercial software package that nobody uses to begin with? That's likely why the article has been rated so low by everyone.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Spark is very proud to announce our investment in CSN Stores (www.csnstores.com). CSN Stores is not your typical venture backed company and that is what makes it so special. The company is now the second largest privately held eCommerce company. The company was founded by Niraj Shah and Steve Conine. Niraj and Steve are friends from Cornell who have built a number of successful companies before founding CSN Stores.
With CSN Stores, Niraj and Steve set out to do what is hard. They picked an eCommerce vertical that others didn't want to play in, home and garden. They partnered with over 3,000 manufacturers and taught many of them how to drop-ship so CSN Stores didn't need a meaningful warehouse. They hired over 700 employees, most of which are in Boston, a city in which many said a big technology company could no longer be built. They built web sites that attract over 10 million visits a month. They expanded into Europe where they are growing very quickly.
Most incredible though is that CSN Stores is a bootstraped company. Niraj and Steve have built everything without ever having raised capital and have been profitable from day one. A truly rare feat.
Niraj and Steve set out to do what is hard and their results speak for themselves. CSN Stores will generate well over $500 million in revenue this year, growing at a 50+% rate, all while being profitable.
As Niraj and Steve launch their Wayfair.com brand in the coming months and continue to build out their company, my colleagues and I at Spark are thrilled to join them during their next stage of growth.

With the help of your generous donations, the talented artisans of Twiyubake banana leaf weaving cooperative enrolled in Indego Africa's Business Management and Entrepreneurship Training program. Twiyubake expressed their desire to join the trainings in order to improve their business knowledge and learn how to run their cooperative efficiently. Indego Africa trainers equip Twiyubake members with the tools to run their business more effectively and provide income for their families.
"Before Business Management trainings, we were selling our products for too little because we didn't know any better. Now we can sell our products for better prices by seeing how similar products sell in the market. We can now better understand how to price our products." Jacqueline, Vice President of Twiyubake.
Jacqueline, Vice President of Twiyubake
The women of Twiyubake praise their Generation Rwanda trainers highly, saying, "They are such good trainers who explain everything to us no matter how many times we ask them to repeat themselves. They are always patient with us."
Twiyubake's Business Management and Entrepreneurship trainer, Christian, is also a business student in Rwanda. He says of his experience in the training programs:
"Working with entrepreneurs is a great experience for me as they have practical experience and I have theoretical experience. It helps me a lot and I can say that I made friends with them. There are so many concepts I came to understand especially those related to marketing and sales. It is a great opportunity for me as a student who needs practical examples and experience."
Please donate to Indego Africa's Incubator Fund
to help more women like the artisans of Twiyubake!
