R & J Southern Homecooking in Downey gives an authentic taste of true soul food. A medium-sized restaurant, not fancy but comfortable and homey, R & J has all the classics and does them very well. Julie, the owner, took the helm with her mother and sister 17 years ago, and has run the place herself for the last 10 years. Occasionally, someone will call her "Chef Julie," but her response is this: "A chef makes things that they want to serve to people, while a cook makes people the things they want. I'm a cook."
Breakfasts consist of the standards such as eggs and pancakes. A better choice, however, is to opt for one of the Southern breakfasts. Choices include grits and eggs, biscuits and gravy, pork chops with grits and eggs, boudin (a Louisiana specialty), and fried fish with grits and eggs. All the breakfasts include their country fried potatoes.
Lunch specials include crawfish, shrimp and fries, chicken curry, and pork chops with rice and gravy. The highlight of the lunches might be the po'boys, stacked high with either fried shrimp or fried oysters. The oysters are plump, hot, and delicious. It is a big sandwich, both in size and in flavor.
Side dishes at R & J are not to be missed. The collard greens are tender and extremely flavorful. The hush puppies have bits of jalapeno in them which elevate the taste of this humble treat. Fried okra is a textbook example of what it should be, lightly breaded, hot and not greasy. The yams are perfect, closer to savory than sweet. Other sides include red beans and rice, mac and cheese, coleslaw, and succotash. This truly is a taste of the South.
At dinner time, there are dozens of excellent choices. Gumbo is a fixture, chock full of goodies including crab legs, with a long-simmered roux adding that depth of flavor only present in a real gumbo. Fish and seafood are a specialty. Sand dabs are a local fish with a texture and flavor similar to sole. Oysters, scallops, and catfish appear on the menu.
Traditional dishes are popular for dinner. Juicy Southern fried chicken is available either plain or smothered in a delicious gravy. Pork chops and steak are also available smothered in gravy. Slow-cooked meats are a specialty, bringing a rich flavor to the table. The short ribs are huge, cooked just to that point where they are tender but not quite falling off the bone. The gravy is incredibly rich, a long-simmered beefy sauce that should be mopped up with the bread to get every bit of flavor. Ox tails up the flavor scale even more; these are rich, tender, and have a depth of flavor that is unmatched. If there is any must-try dish at R & J, it would be the ox tails.
R & J is only a few minutes away from Los Angeles and Orange County, yet the feeling is of dining in a roadside restaurant somewhere in Mississippi. The flavors are true to the South. It is a fixture in the area, even down to the Sunday after-church crowd. Service is friendly, more like the "Southern Hospitality" you would expect in a small town. R & J Homecooking is true to its roots and an excellent choice for fine Southern and soul food cooking.

FINDS Exo-Earths
Are there super-Earth or Earth-sized planets in orbit around Alpha Centauri A or B?
We can find out for $33,000—or $1,650 a night.
To view Alpha Centauri the telescope must be in the southern hemisphere for Debra Fisher and our FINDS Exo-earths team, so we need to rent time at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile
Please make a donation to sponsor as much telescope time as you can to study the mysteries of Alpha Centauri! The Planetary Society is hunting for Earth-like planets orbiting distant stars...
FINDS Exo-Earths
The Planetary Society had teamed up with planet hunters Debra Fischer of Yale University and Geoff Marcy of the University of California at Berkeley to help with the quest to find other "Earths," other worlds like our own, elsewhere in our galaxy.
The project is called FINDS Exo-Earths (which stands for Fiber-optic Improved Next generation Doppler Search for Exo-Earths).
This high-end optical system was installed on the 3-meter telescope at the Lick Observatory and dramatically increased discoveries of smaller exoplanets and has been playing a crucial role in verifying Earth-sized planet candidates from the Kepler planet-hunter mission.
This is exactly the kind of project the Society has always excelled at. It's a small, vital effort, overlooked and under-valued by the space community's "Powers That Be." And we can see that it offers an incredible cost-benefit ratio.

The Planetary Society and the Search for Extrasolar Planets
Posted by Amir Alexander on 2005/10/27 12:00 CDT
Almost since it was founded in 1980, The Planetary Society has been there for the search for other worlds.
Section Highlights
How Does Finds Exo-Earths Work
When planet hunters train their telescopes on the stars, they usually aren't looking for an actual visual image of any planets. The distances are simply too vast. Rather, they seek evidence of those distant planets based on the behavior of the light from the stars themselves.
Our Curiosity Knows No Bounds!
Become a member of The Planetary Society and together we will create the future of space exploration.
Thank you
from Bill Nye, our staff, and our partners around the world!
Thanks to you, we are realizing our grand vision — people all over the world supporting space exploration.
Our staff and partners send you heartfelt thanks via this short video.

Gary Giordano sued by American Express
(AP) - An American Express subsidiary is suing a Maryland man who was jailed for months in Aruba in the suspected death of his traveling companion.
The subsidiary, AMEX Assurance Company, seeks to void a travel insurance policy that Gary Giordano, of Gaithersburg, took out in Robyn Gardner's name before their Caribbean vacation last year.
The lawsuit, filed last week in federal court in Maryland, says the policy isn't legally enforceable because Giordano and Gardner aren't married or otherwise related, weren't business partners and didn't own property together.
It also accuses him of lying on insurance forms by identifying Gardner as his "partner" when the two actually had what the company calls a "casual and non-exclusive" relationship.
"You have to have an economic interest in the person" when taking out a policy, American Express spokeswoman Gail Wasserman said Monday.
The suit also says that Gardner remains a missing person, and that aside from Giordano's public statements suggesting she is dead, "there is no other direct evidence that she is no longer alive."
Giordano, 51, was arrested at the Aruba airport in August 2011, several days after reporting her missing.
He has said Gardner, a Frederick woman he met on an adult social networking site, was swept out to sea as the two were snorkeling off the southern tip of Aruba - a claim contested by her family.
Giordano was jailed until late November, when a judge said prosecutors didn't have enough evidence to continue holding him.
He has since returned home to Gaithersburg, in suburban Washington. The travel insurance policy caught the attention of Aruban investigators trying to build a case against Giordano.
The policy listed Giordano as her sole beneficiary; Giordano designated his mother as his sole beneficiary.
Two days after reporting her missing, Giordano began "to make inquiries about the accidental death and dismemberment portion of the policy on the life of Ms. Gardner," according to the lawsuit.
Giordano has said he routinely takes out insurance when he travels and that he inquired about the insurance on the advice of his former lawyer. His lawyer, Scott Blumenshine, said Giordano remains entitled to collect the insurance sum.
In May, Giordano sued AMEX Assurance Company in Illinois, where the company is incorporated, seeking to collect $3.5 million under the terms of the policy.
Blumenshine said travelers are entitled to file claims on insurance policies they take out, and added that the claims in Giordano's lawsuit that would allow him to collect on the policy remain true.
The company says in its lawsuit that Gardner "had no role in the decision to purchase insurance." Giordano took out the policy, made himself the beneficiary and sent in the forms, said Wasserman, the American Express spokeswoman.
However, Blumenshine said Gardner herself signed the form.

[JURIST] US Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) [official website] on Wednesday blasted the White House for failing to turn over all documents, including emails, requested by the Committee in its investigation into the US Attorney firing scandal [JURIST report], and suggested that White House reports that certain emails had been lost were untrue. Leahy said [transcript]:
There remain several obstacles to the ability of the investigating committees to learn the truth about what occurred with these firings and why. The selectivity and incompleteness of the highly redacted set of documents we have received so far from the Department of Justice present one set of obstacles.The refusal of the White House to provide relevant documents and access to White House staff who played a role in these firings and replacements are other obstacles. The announcement by the White House last night that they and the Republican National Committee have lost an undisclosed number of relevant emails that political operatives were using on RNC accounts presents yet another obstacle. I am beginning to wonder whether the White House has any interest in the American people learning the truth about these matters.

Before Coroner Andrew Harris
Southwark Coroners Court, 1 Tennis Street, London SE1 1YD.
Provided via Sean Rigg Justice & Change >
The inquest into the death of Sean Rigg, a 40 year old black man who died on 21 August 2008 following contact with Brixton police, will begin on Monday 11 June at Southwark Coroner's Court.
Sean Rigg was a talented musician and one of five siblings. He had suffered from severe mental illness from the age of 20 and had a formal diagnosis of schizophrenia. He was living in a high support community mental health hostel. His family were intensely involved with his life and his mental health care.
Sean had a history of stopping his medication and falling into relapse. On several occasions he had been detained by the police under section 136 of the Mental Health Act 1983 and taken to a 'place of safety'. Prior to his arrest on the 21st August he had stopped taking his medication and his behaviour was giving cause for concern.
On the evening of 21st hostel staff called 999 on several occasions asking for police to attend the hostel. The police did not attend. Sean then left the hostel and was later arrested after a member of the public called the police. He was restrained by the police, taken to Brixton police station and died soon after.

Let's face it, being a mom and being busy are synonymous. There are babies to feed, diapers to change, laundry to fold … the list sometimes seems never ending. When this happens, it is likely that feeding yourself tends to fall by the wayside - or at least that's what happened to me. For the first three months of Fern's life I pretty much subsisted on string cheese and granola bars. I was a bit overwhelmed and feeding myself always seemed to fall to the end of my to-do list. There are many reasons why this was a problem: 1) Inadequate nutrition while nursing can decrease milk supply in addition to not providing babies with all the nutrients that their growing bodies need, 2) Inadequate nutrition leaves you tired, cranky and unable to take on the challenges that new parenthood (or really any stage of parenthood) requires, 3) Inadequate nutrition is not going to help you lose that baby weight. Our bodies need a balanced diet and if we're not eating enough food they go into starvation mode and desperately cling to fat. So, for all you busy moms out there, what to eat? Here are my top 7 suggestions of power foods to fuel busy moms.
Eggs1. Eggs
Eggs are my absolute go-to food. It takes literally two minutes to scramble some up for breakfast and I can throw in some extras for flavor and fuel like spinach, ground flax, cheese, tomatoes, etc … I can also hard boil a bunch at the beginning of the week after my baby goes to bed and I've got instant grab-and-go snacks available for the week.
Related: 4 healthy treats for Baby you can make at home
Fruit2. Fruit
Fruit is not only delicious, but can also be very filling. I choose more dense fruits for when I'm hungry enough for a meal, but won't be able to make a full meal happen any time soon (think: crying baby). Oranges and bananas are my good options for this scenario. Any fruit is a good option though, and pre-slicing fruit earlier in the week is a good way to ensure that it actually gets eaten.
Vegetables3. Vegetables
Pre-cut veggies are one "convenience food" that I don't mind buying if I'm not buying a bunch of other pre-packaged, processed foods. Baby carrots, big bags of spinach and pre-cut broccoli are all great, easy options. You're much more likely to eat a salad when there isn't any prep involved!
Related: 9 mom-tested tips for getting your newborn to sleep
Hummus4. Hummus
This is a great option to get a bit more protein in your day and makes eating your vegetables a bit more palatable if you're not a fan of veggies.
Oatmeal5. Oatmeal
I am particularly fond of steel cut oats for their great texture and the nutritional punch that they pack. You can even find quick-cooking varieties that cook in 5-7 minutes. If you don't think you can find 5-7 minutes to cook oatmeal in the morning you can always prepare a big pot of it ahead of time to portion out and heat up throughout the week.
Greek Yogurt6. Greek Yogurt
I love all yogurt, but the Greek variety has the most protein as well as a nice, creamy texture that leaves me feeling full and satisfied. I like to throw in some berries or banana and a bit of flaxseed meal as well.

Abstract |
We propose a locomotion technique for a legged robot that is high-centered, i.e., a robot stuck on a block with its legs dangling in air. By using its legs as reaction masses, the robot might be able to rock and roll on its stomach and incrementally move forward off the block, a form of legless locomotion using halteres. With locomotion of high-centered robots using body attitude oscillations as motivation, this paper focuses on studying the interplay between leg motions and body roll-pitch-yaw dynamics. We present results from simulation of two simplified models in which body motion is restricted to the roll and roll-yaw space respectively. |

In a world of increasing dependence on information technology, the prevention of cyberattacks on a nation's important computer and communications system and networks is a problem that looms large. In order to best prevent such attacks, this collection explains the importance of increasing the usability of security technologies, recommends strategies for future research aimed at countering cyberattacks, and considers how information technology systems can be used to not only maximize protection against attacks, but also respond to threats.
In a world of increasing dependence on information technology, the prevention of cyberattacks on a nation's important computer and communications systems and networks is a problem that looms large. Given the demonstrated limitations of passive cybersecurity defense measures, it is natural to consider the possibility that deterrence might play a useful role in preventing cyberattacks against the United States and its vital interests. At the request of the Office of ...[more]

In spite of substantial ...[more]
The United States is increasingly dependent on information and information technology for both civilian and military purposes, as are many other nations. Although there is a substantial literature on the potential impact of a cyberattack on the societal infrastructure of the United States, little has been written about the use of cyberattack as an instrument of U.S. policy. Cyberattacks--actions intended to damage adversary computer systems ...[more]
Given the growing importance of cyberspace to nearly all aspects of national life, a secure cyberspace is vitally important to the nation, but cyberspace is far from secure today. The United States faces the real risk that adversaries will exploit vulnerabilities in the nation s critical information systems, thereby causing considerable suffering and damage. Online e-commerce business, government agency files, and identity records are all potential security targets. Toward ...[more]
Despite many advances, security and privacy often remain too complex for individuals or enterprises to manage effectively or to use conveniently.

Top potential candidates to replace Phil Simms at Super Bowl L
Color commentators have it tough. Even the best of them are still torn to shreds by sofa-dwelling critics who think they could do a better job breaking down games on the fly. This website has about 10 of them. But top CBS analyst Phil Simms has taken such a public beating of late that you have to wonder what the future holds for him.
The fact that Simms has lasted as long as he has in this job -- he's been a lead analyst since he joined NBC in 1995, one year after retiring from the NFL -- indicates the networks love him despite the fact he's become a caricature of everything that people hate about the current sports broadcasting landscape. Simms' form has dropped in the last few years and that was played out on the game's biggest stage.
Sports broadcasting is notoriously slow to change and it'd be a shock if CBS did not let Simms work his seventh Super Bowl when the network televises Super Bowl L from either San Francisco or Miami on Feb. 7, 2016. But if things change between now and then, here are potential candidates who could analyze the 50th Super Bowl...

Stingers are the swiftest wheels on the road - In 2010 they were piloted to a dozen road and TT national titles and ridden to victory in countless Pro tour races. Hed isn�t the only ones who have spent time in the wind tunnel testing stingers. Two independent magazines and several pro tour level teams proved that Stinger wheels are the fastest... again. All 2012 Stingers are SCT (Stability Control Technology) tuned.
Hed applied their proprietary design formula to the new Hed Stinger 4 Flamme Rouge Carbon Tubular Front Bicycle Wheel and the result is a superb road wheel - so fast it was first across the line at the US Pro Championship road race. If you exclude the Stinger 6 wheels, there is not a faster wheel less than 80mm deep.
With C2 cornering performance and TT speed in a 46mm wheel, it is Hed�s new favorite road wheel. Make it yours too.

� 18 front silver bladed spokes

Subscribe to our Managing Depression e-newsletter to stay up to date on depression topics.
When you have anxiety or depression, exercise often seems like the last thing you want to do. But once you get motivated, exercise can make a big difference.
Exercise helps prevent and improve a number of health problems, including high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis. Research on anxiety, depression and exercise shows that the psychological and physical benefits of exercise can also help reduce anxiety and improve mood.
The links between anxiety, depression and exercise aren't entirely clear — but working out can definitely help you relax and make you feel better. Exercise may also help keep anxiety and depression from coming back once you're feeling better.
Exercise probably helps ease depression in a number of ways, which may include:
Exercise has many psychological and emotional benefits too. It can help you:
The word "exercise" may make you think of running laps around the gym. But exercise includes a wide range of activities that boost your activity level to help you feel better. Certainly running, lifting weights, playing basketball and other fitness activities that get your heart pumping can help. But so can gardening, washing your car, or strolling around the block and other less intense activities. Anything that gets you off the couch and moving is exercise that can help improve your mood.
You don't have to do all your exercise at once either. Broaden how you think of exercise and find ways to fit activity into your routine. Add small amounts of physical activity throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park a little farther away from your work to fit in a short walk. Or, if you live close to your job, consider biking to work.

By editor
Angry that her daughter was eliminated from a 4-H competition, Jeannie Groat of upstate New York protested, using the F-word. According to the Walton Reporter, she was charged with disorderly conduct and sentenced to 15 days in jail. Even prosecutors say they didn't ask for such a harsh penalty.

LONDON, December 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
From the lucid waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the quirky coves on the Pacific coast along with all the fascinating sights, towns and stunning vistas in between, there are many reasons why you should visit Mexico next year.
With beaches so beautiful they are rivalled by few other places in the world to lively cities bustling with life and character, Mexico has something on offer for everyone. If you're looking for cheap Mexico holidays then going out of season during the cooler months of the later winter, spring and autumn will offer better value for money. Thomas Cook offer plenty of affordable packages for all sorts of travellers.
Beach holidays
For some of the best beach holidays in the world, Mexico is second to none. From those wanting to sunbathe and relax on soft golden sand in the Mexican Riviera to those wanting to partake of white-knuckle activities including surfing, snorkelling and jet skiing on the Pacific Coast, Mexico's beaches cater for all tastes, ages and requirements.
Dia de la Bandera - Day of the Flag - Mexico City
As you can imagine, the colourful, vivacious and laid-back Mexico City has some kind of great festivity or event on practically every week of the year. If you want to witness authentic Mexican culture, travelling to Mexico City in late February will ensure that you have an affordable, out of season holiday and will also introduce you to a traditional Mexican celebration.
In 2013 the Dia de la Bandera will be held on 24 February in celebration of the city's independence. This particularly colourful event sees the city carpeted in Mexican flags as the whole town celebrates their history.
The thrill of travel
Thomas Cook provides great sun holidays around the world and Mexico is one of the most popular destinations. If you're looking for a getaway to the sun in the traditionally grey month of November, then a trip to Cancun to witness the Cancun Revolution Day would certainly exceed expectations for an exciting and memorable early winter break with plenty of sunshine.
This annual event brings an amalgamation of students and armed forces that collectively form pyramids and execute the nail biting 'tiger jump' through a ring of flames. For those who prefer to take a spring holiday, Cancun celebrates the Cancun Art and Cultural Festival in May, where Mexico's most lively city gets an injection of art, culture and flamboyance.

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

Changing Israel's test scores
By ERICA GARB
10/24/2012 22:25
The money that could be saved by abolishing the modular system could then be devoted to raising teachers' salaries, while at the same time ensuring a higher quality of teaching.

Israel's dismal results in the Meitzav ("Teaching the future,"
The Jerusalem Post
, October 18) simply confirm what we already know from our dismal results in the international PISA exams (Program for International Student Assessment), detailed in the McKinsey report (2006/2007).
The prime minister was aware of this report and indeed used its recommendations (alas, not implemented!) as part of his last election platform.
Change is, of course, a long-term project. However, there is one change which can dramatically improve the quality of our educational system, and instead of costing money, it can save funds which are badly needed to improve the quality of teacher training.
Diagnosis: The tail wags the dog – the matriculation exam, or bagrut, system is what fuels everything else that is done in the classroom.
The system of modular matriculation exams and indiscriminate access to "moadei bet," repeat exams, are ruining the quality of education. The simple reason is that the purpose of this system is to ensure that more students obtain a bagrut certificate not by improving the quality of education, but by watering down the syllabus. Ironically, the effort to get more students to pass the exams by making things easier has backfired: not only are more students not getting a certificate, but often the certificate that they do get is not worth much (witness our results in the PISA exams.) The effect of the modular system on students and the quality of education:
1. A student entering high school in ninth grade is immediately faced with the bagrut system. Teachers, being human and practical, have no option but to "teach for the test." The result is that students are being taught how to pass exams, rather than being challenged to think, explore, compare, read critically, write clearly, express themselves creatively, etc. Teachers have to cover the material the students will be tested on, rather than communicate a love of their subject and the excitement of learning. The system also results in hours of deadly boredom, giving rise to the frustration and cynicism of our youngsters, who deserve better, and who react with disrespect, bad behavior and even violence.
2. When children begin taking bagrut exams in the 10th, 11th, or even the 9th grade they are not mature enough to appreciate the material with the depth that the subjects deserve. This means that the initial modules – which qualify as bagrut level – are of necessity simplified to accommodate the age and scholastic level of the students.
3. The fact that the students study a subject in modular sections in order to pass exams means that they seldom arrive at an in-depth understanding and overview of the subject. One module is "done" and forgotten, and then it's on to the next section. The students are never tested in a way that requires them to make connections between the various modules.
4. Students are not required to pass all the modules in order to get a bagrut certificate for the particular subject, because the grade is calculated as an average of the modules. So, for example, a student can do well on the earlier, easier modules, fail the final module – the one that actually tests their knowledge of the subject – and still get a passing grade. At the pre-academic centers, for example (where I was the inspector for English studies), teachers complained that students coming in with high marks on a three-point Education Ministry- approved bagrut in English could not read.
"The medium is the message" – and the message that students are getting is that the education system will make things as easy as possible and not make too many demands of them.
5. Students who fail or even do badly on a module are encouraged to take a moed bet. This promotes an attitude where students fail to fully exert themselves, because they know that there is always another chance. The time lapse between modules is, however, too short for any real learning to be effective – the most that the student can do is brush up on test techniques.
6. The effect on the educational budget. Each module costs a fortune to prepare, print, distribute, administer, mark, check for discrepancies and cheating, as well as issuing of permits for students with learning difficulties and providing them with CDs.
Each additional test date costs another fortune. Of course there should be provision for students who cannot take the original exam due to illness, accident, or family crisis, but at present the system is used indiscriminately. For example, a student who gets 95 on a bagrut can and often will take a moed bet to try for 100, as the higher mark will be the one that counts and there is thus no penalty for trying again.
The money that would be saved by administering exams only in the 12th grade (as was done in the past and is still done in many advanced countries) would be considerable. In terms of quality of education, this would ensure that the exam would be on a mature and all-encompassing level. Students in grades nine, 10 and 11 would have time to explore the subject in depth, rather than merely study for exams with innumerable tests throughout the year (when do teachers have time to teach?) However, the problem cannot be solved simply on one level. The sad fact is that it is easier for teachers to teach for a test than to have real knowledge of their own subject and of teaching methods which encourage children to think for themselves.
The money that could be saved by abolishing the modular system could then be devoted to raising teachers' salaries, while at the same time ensuring a higher quality of teaching by being more selective when accepting teachers for teacher training colleges, and providing a higher level of teacher education (i.e., finally implementing the suggestions of the McKinsey report.)
The writer has worked in a range of senior positions in Israeli education over the past 39 years and now watches this system's deterioration with growing anxiety. From 2000 to 2011 she was director of English Studies for the Aguda l'Kidum Hachinuch, which administered 45 pre-academic centers throughout the country.

Review: | Great first kayak for me. Has lots of great storage and easy to customize for my needs. Flipped it over on my second trip and its was very easy to flip and get back into. The wheel in the keel and built in handles are priceless. | ||||
Reviewer: | Dean marraccini | Rating: | 5 | Date: | 09/27/2012 |
Review: | Tracks pretty straight. Stable. Good layout. Seat supplied is very good. Wheel is a great addition. Only critique would be that the handholds should be repositioned into boat so that you don't have to stretch across the width to lift. Overall, very satisfied and would recommend. | ||||
Reviewer: | Twinturbo | Rating: | 5 | Date: | 06/08/2012 |
Review: | I am very happy with this Kayak. It is very well made, extremely stable and handles great in the water. Today my 7 year old son hopped a ride on the back behind my seat as I paddled. At one point we were both standing on this kayak and casting our fishing line! I flipped back and forth between the non-angler version because I was not certain if I would ever need the hatch. I am still on the table regarding that. I am also very impressed with how high you sit in the seat. I paddled all day and did not get wet in the seat. I am very impressed with the ACK staff. They were very helpful and I feel gave me a great recommendation on accessories. At no point did I feel like I was being up-sold. I am now an ACK customer for life. Thanks ACK. | ||||
Reviewer: | NewbieDude | Rating: | 5 | Date: | 04/16/2012 |
Review: | I researched fishing kayaks all winter and settled on the Moken 10 Angler. I weigh 250 so options were limited if I were to add some gear and an anchor. Im convinced I got the best deal out there. I come from a screaming-across-the-lake bass boat background over the last 30+ years and wanted to experience fishing in a more relaxed, natural way but still have access to a broad range of waters. This yak is stable, tracks very nicely and has all the storage I need. To be able to slide it out the back of the truck, fully rigged, grab the front handle and roll it down the boat ramp is totally cool. Hit the water and go! I got the experience Id been hoping for. I ordered my Moken10 from Austin Kayak on-line on a Sunday evening. It was delivered to my home in middle TN on the following Friday. | ||||

Did you see my Thumbprint Ornaments Tutorial over on Handmade Holidays at Honeybear Lane last month?? If not, here ya go - - they're super easy and only take about 10 minutes to make (plus baking time) so if you want personalized ornaments this year, whip some up! You still have time!
December 21, 2012
Thumbprint Ornaments
First, grab some clay that can be baked hard - like Sculpty or a version of it. Just check the pack to make sure it can be baked. Each small clay package (about $1 or so) should make up to 6 ornamanets, so it's a thrifty project. Roll and soften the clay with your hands until it is pliable. Break it into chunks of clay approximately the size of quarters:
Roll the chunk into a ball and press it onto a smooth surface, like a table. Then FLIP IT OVER - the smooth side from the surface should now be on top. Have a child press their thumb into the clay - they may need help pressing hard enough:
Using a toothpick, write their names and the year on the edge. It's easiest to use a poking motion instead of trying to drag the toothpick. After that, find a spot to push the toothpick completely through the clay to create a hole (you'll use this to string the ornament):
Bake according to the directions on the package - usually about 275 for 20 minutes. This will turn the clay hard and preserve the thumbprint. Then grab your baked ornaments, some twine, and some jingle bells, because everything is better with a little jingle:
Thread the twine through the hole and then tie a knot. This will prevent the bells from sliding too low and covering up the ornament:
Then slide on a few bells. Tie another knot near the top of the strings to create a loop, as shown:
Voila!! That's it! Hang on your tree and enjoy!!
My kids' favorite ornaments are the ones they can reminisce about, like the ones with baby pictures on them. I know they'll love comparing their thumbprints as they grow and remembering how small they used to be.
