When It Comes To I Ching and Numerology, Apocalypse 2012 Is All About The Numbers
The March earthquake in Japan is eight months early by that forecast. "It doesn't mean that next year it won't happen again," Wong adds.
Many of the concepts of feng shui take root in the system of divination outlined in the I Ching, one of the oldest Chinese texts and mythical in its stature. One of its root principles is the acceptance of change.
"There's nothing in the I Ching that says the end of the world is coming in 2012," feng shui grand master Raymond Lo Hang-lap asserts. "There's no such prediction in Chinese astrology or feng shui or anything else."
The I Ching – sometimes known in English as the "Book of Changes" – measures life by a repetitive calendar, much like the repetition of the seasons. So it doesn't make a particular forecast of the end of the world. It's a system of knowledge that can be understood in many ways, scholars say.
The Sung dynasty scholar Shao Yong did interpret the I Ching in a way that each of its 64 hexagrams translates to a set period in history – but that was his own interpretation. Even following that system, each hexagram lasts for thousands of years. We're currently only half-way through the eighth hexagram, which totals 129,600 years. Add 50-some similar periods, some of them of much greater length, and we've got little to worry about next year.
But 2012 will be the Year of the Dragon, which has traditionally involved earthquakes, and is a water year. December is also a water month.
"You cannot be too afraid of all these things because everything is already fixed"
"If you look at feng shui, in 2012 the elements show that there is more chance of turbulence, financial disasters, big water flooding, earthquakes," Lo says. In December, "there will be a lot of water, and there could be big flooding or even a tsunami — but it doesn't mean the end of the world."
During this 20-year feng shui cycle, countries with water in the southwest and mountains in the northeast should fare well – with money stemming from the water and human harmony from the mountains. Lo believes that bodes well for the economic development of India and South Korea. When it was pointed out that Pakistan has similar features but has seen a lot of recent political strife, Lo noted it was a general theory, with specifics varying in each place.
Next year, Southeast Asia has negative energy, which this year comes from the East. So the next big earthquake is likely to originate there, Lo believes.
Chan, a teacher of numerology at the Hong Kong Tarot Centre, says the information on what's likely to happen next year has come from "channeling," receiving inspiration or messages from spirits and the invisible world. It's not particularly driven by numerology or the confluence of numbers on Dec. 21, 2012.
"There are rumors about the end of the world — but actually it is just a new century, or a new culture is coming," Chan explains.
She endorses taking a fairly relaxed approach based more on self-fulfillment than anything else.
"Don't be too scared – if it happens it happens," she suggests, recommending that you use any dramatic changes in the world around you as the impetus for change in your own life. "Think about who you are and what you really want in life."
Wong believes global stock markets may drop 20% to 30% next year. He believes investors need to be cautious, starting in the fourth quarter of this year. But there's only so much you can do.
"Now we are coming to a bad cycle, so I think we need to take it easy," Wong says. "You cannot be too afraid of all these things because everything is already fixed."
"Apocalypse 2012" will air on Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 9 p.m. and midnight ET on CNBC. The documentary will repeat on Friday, December 21, 2012 at 8 p.m.

Candles/Lamps during the reading of the Gospel
August 04, 2004, 03:53:12 PM »
Dear Friends,
Last Sunday, Our senior Sub-deacon had only two altar boys on the Altar. When It came time for the Altar Boys to go out for the Gospel Reading he had them take the Fans instead of the Lamps/Candles. When I later asked about this he sent me an e-mail that noted:
"Regarding the processional fans, my limited research indicated that fans seem to be used in all of the entrances, and at the Gospel, they are prominent. That would indicate to me that if we only have two acolytes, then the fans should be taken out instead of the lamps. If you have any written sources to the contrary, I would be interested in reviewing them to see if we should revise my instructions."
I have always been taught that there should always be at a minimum ofa lit lamp or Candle when the Gospel is being read, even if it is from a candle stand and held by the sole layperson present. Does anyone have any research to support this or am I incorrect and the fans alone should be used? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Resource documentation would greatly be appreciated.

In Christ,
In our Chapel during a week day Liturgy where there may only be one or two Altar Boys the candles are used. If there are four or more both candles and fans are used.

Funny, serving as acolyte when I was in HS in my Antiochian parish, fans were never used during readings - only processions (little and especially great entrances and such) and then fans were low on the totem pole to candles/lamps and the cross. AFAIK, fans are more ceremonial now as they only served to fan the flies away from the Eucharist before it was served. I'd like to know what source(s) this subdeacon is looking at.

My Church (Indian Orthodox Church) uses the Syrian rite, and so what I have to say does not directly relate to Byzantine practice, but perhaps a parallel might help. On a normal Sunday in my parish, there are about ten to fifteen acolytes serving. During the proclamation of the Gospel, two of them hold candles, while another two bring out the fans (and since our fans have little bells on the edges, they are "rattled"). At a weekday Liturgy, if there are enough acolytes, the fans will be brought out, and two will hold the candles. If the number of acolytes is low, then one will ring a bell (I've never seen a Liturgy served without the ringing of a bell), while two hold candles during the Gospel, but there will be no fans. From this, I think I can safely conclude that it is not the fans that are important, but the candles, at least in our practice. Even in circumstances where there is only the priest and one acolyte, two candles are lit and are left standing on the lectern from which the priest proclaims the Gospel.

In my experience candles always come first. The Liturgikon at all entrances indicates the priest and deacon are preceded by candlebearers not fanbearers. The lighted candle is a symbol of Christ the Lightgiver, who enlightens every man who comes into the world. This symbolism is especially drawn out at Presanctified when the lighted candle is placed on top of the Gospel Book for the readings and the people are blessed with the candle. The fan is a symbol of the angels.
Also, the blessing of candlebearer includes the giving of the candle and servers are standins for blessed candlebearers so it seems logical they should be bearing the candles at the entrances and holding them for the Gospel and Communion if that is the custom.
I would be curious to know what documents led the subdeacon to the conclusion that fans are more prominent than the candles as the only mention of the fans in the Liturgikon is about the deacon using it to fan the Holy Gifts and they are not even required the veils maybe used in their stead.
In any case the OCA and AOA (and I believe the GOA) publish servers guides and these should be the determining factor as to how things are done not a subdeacon's research, limited or extensive.

I did some research on this matter a while ago, there is a tremendous amount of symbolism in the lighting of candles. It's a beautiful tradition and subject matter.
Fr. Deacon Lance is correct about the importance of the candles and about the fans, some often have images of angles, six winged etc. It is traditional for the candles to come first. I would not be to hard on the sub-deacon now or in the future when you communicate any information to him.
Thomas you wrote "When It came time for the Altar Boys to go out for the Gospel Reading he had them take the Fans instead of the Lamps/Candles."
I don't know the hearts of the two Acolytes or the Sub-Deacon but here is a writng from the Orthodox Fathers.
Abba Lot went to see Abba Joseph and said to him, 'Abba, as far as I can I say my little office, I fast a little, I pray and meditate, I live in peace and as far as I can, I purify my thought. What else can I do? Then the old man stood up and stretched his hands toward heaven. His fingers became like ten lamps of fire and he said to him, 'If you will, you can become all flame.'
Here is some information from the following link:
The Fathers of the Church also witnessed to the spiritual significance of candles. In the 2nd Century, Tertullian wrote: "We never hold a service without candles, yet we use them not just to dispel night's gloom - we also hold our services in daylight - but in order to represent by this Christ, the Uncreated Light, without Whom we would in broad daylight wander as if lost in darkness". The Blessed Jerome wrote in the 4th Century that "In all the Eastern Churches, candles are lit even in the daytime when one is to read the Gospels, in truth not to dispel the darkness, but as a sign of joy...in order under that factual light to feel that Light of which we read in the Psalms (119:105): Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path".
St. Sophronius, Patriarch of Jerusalem, wrote in the 7th Century: "Lampadas and candles represent the Eternal Light, and also the light which shines from the righteous". The Holy Fathers of the 7th Ecumenical Council decreed that in the Orthodox Church, the holy Icons and relics, the Cross of Christ, and the Holy gospel were to be honored by censing and the lighting of candles; and the Blessed Simeon of Thessalonica (15th Century) wrote that "candles are also lit before the Icons of the Saints, for the sake of their good deeds that shine in this world".
Metropolitan Vitaly wrote this a while ago.
"Candles appeared in all Orthodox churches in the first centuries of our era. Eusebius of Caesaria records that during the paschal vigil such a quantity of candles were lit by the faithful that the night itself became as day. There were wax candles the sizes of which made them look like actual pillars. In answer to the accusations of the schismatic Vigilantius, who berated the Orthodox for lighting candles in their churches during daylight also, St. Jerome (342-420) says "in all Eastern churches candles are lit during the reading of the Gospel not only so as to shed light and dispel the gloom but also to proclaim one's joy."
Over the centuries, the Orthodox candle has burnt gently and humbly and is now, as it was then, imbued with profound meaning, inalienable from our Orthodox divine services and Orthodox piety. Apart from the fact that the small sacrifice, the mite given by each Christian for the candle he lights, benefits the Church in real terms, by lighting a candle, each Christian enters into closer contact with the church and the service, participating in it more actively and invisibly warming his soul by the visible light of the candle. We must understand that man's immortal soul dwells in man's mortal body.
The immortal soul cannot be indifferent to pious deeds committed by the body which is its home. AS the body bows, so does the soul bow with it and grows obedient. We are human; we need to see, to feel, to smell and to hear. And in the church, candles burn with the divine light; the ringing of bells sanctifies the air; incense reminds us of the fragrance of prayers; and from each icon the Saviour Himself, the Mother of God and all the saints mysteriously look at us and we look at Their holy images as two worlds come face to face: the dwellers of the Kingdom of God and we, the sinners.
Pious Orthodox people will preserve throughout the year the candles they light during the readings of the Passion Gospels on Holy Thursday. They make a sign of the cross with these candles over the doors to their homes. They light them during difficult moments of their lives. On Easter night, the candles bor., by the faithful transform their faces into living icons on which plays the light of God's grace ...
But the candle has yet another profound meaning. The burning candle represents the entire life of the faithful, from birth to death. It stands for the inner flame of love for and devotion to God. A Christian should burn like a candle before God, and his whole being should gradually be consumed by this divine flame thus marking the end of his earthly life."
In Christ,
Matthew Panchisin

Also consider that some of the "extra" liturgical items developed out of necesity. Seeing sevices at Saint Anthony's (i.e Orthros starting around 4 am) is a reminder of that, as there would not be enough light to read the Gospel without a candle. So from the standpoint of practicality it would seem a candle is more important.

All I know is that my church often has a very low number of boys serving, sometimes one. And candles are always used first. When it is a Heirarchical Service, naturally fans and all are used. Though I have found that the fans are mostly just used in blessing of Holy Water. I can't remember a normal sunday service using fans even with a large number of altar boys.

One more thing to add about the fans... They are associated with the Deaconate. At the Ordination of a Deacon it is traditional for a fan to be presented to the new new deacon and he then fans the gifts until it is time for communion. The candles are part of the prayers when one is made a subdeacon. Hopes this info helps in understading.

"They seem to think the recommendation of having a safety prevention program still stands," Gupta said after being briefed by the board on its DuPont report.
Late last month, DHHR Secretary Dr. Michael J. Lewis told the CSB that his agency and the state Department of Environmental Protection had determined not to move forward at this point on the board's recommendation.
CSB officials had recommended using the DHHR's existing authority to write regulations to govern workplace hazards. But in a June 30 letter to the CSB, Lewis said his agency and DEP believe they don't have legal authority to help create a local chemical accident prevention program.
"We came to a consensus that we did not, at this time, have the expertise in-house to draft the appropriate legislation that would be needed to develop the type of program suggested in your report," wrote Lewis, a physician and former Union Carbide chemical engineer.
"Therefore, we will jointly approach our governor and our Legislature during the next regular legislative session to provide funding for a study of the successful legislative initiatives from around the country," Lewis wrote. "We will also ask that the expert provide us with model language which could be used to implement a program tailored for the needs of West Virginia residents and businesses."
Gupta said he is concerned this approach will take too long.
"I would like for them to be a little more aggressive, a little more sort of pro-active," Gupta said.

209-09: Fly America Act (Federally Funded Air Travel)
Grant, Contract & Gift Accounting Manual
Section 209: Policies
Revised: 08/08/2003
To comply with the Fly America Act 49 U.S.C. 40118.
The Fly America Act (49 U.S.C. 40118) and its implementing regulations (41 C.F.R. 301-3.6) apply to all air travel relating to federally-funded grants, including pass through agreements from other entities.
Background Information
The General Services Administration issued an amendment to the Federal Travel Regulations in the November 13, 1998 edition of the Federal Register (Vol. 63, No. 219). The amendment relates to the use of U.S. flag air carriers under the Fly America Act.
Gateway airport U.S.
Where traveler last embarks from the U.S. or first arrives in the U.S.;
Gateway airport abroad
Where traveler last embarks en route to U.S. or first arrives from the U.S.
The Fly America Act requires that all travelers and others performing U.S. Government-financed air travel use U.S. flag carriers to the extent such carriers are available, even if their use would cost more. Even when the entire trip cannot be made on U.S. flag carriers to the extent possible they should be used to the farthest interchange point on a usually traveled route. 301-3.6 (b)(4)(ii). Chartered flights are also subject to the requirements.
- Use of a foreign carrier may be authorized if use of a U.S. flag carrier will not accomplish the agency's mission (e.g., the traveler will miss the start of an important meeting) or if a U.S. flag carrier is not available 301-3.6 (b)(2) and (3).
- Use of foreign air carrier may also be used if bilateral agreements permit such travel pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 40118(b).
- A copy of the agreement should accompany the request to use foreign air carrier.
- Use of foreign carrier is permitted where U.S. flag carrier involuntarily reroutes the traveler to a foreign carrier 301-3.6 (b)(4)(ii)(c).
Compliance: Each department is responsible for complying with the Fly America Act. Before making arrangements for air travel for OSU business, find out about the funding type and, if applicable, ensure the booking is in accordance with the Act.
Code-Sharing arrangement – ticket issued by U.S. flag air carrier which leases space on foreign aircraft.
Restrictions include:
- Entire ticket must be issued by and on the U.S. flag carrier;
- At least one leg must be on the U.S. domestic service beyond the gateway;
- A code-sharing flight may not be used solely for travel between the U.S. and foreign gateway or vice versa, unless no other U.S. carrier participates in that market. 70 Comp. Gen. 713 (September 25, 1991). Payment must be made to a U.S. flag air carrier.
Determining unavailability of U.S. carrier as justification for use of foreign carriers:
Criteria for determining unavailability are set forth in 301-3.6 (b)(5) and involve the extension of time in travel status. Extension of time in travel status includes accelerated arrival and delayed departure.
Use of foreign air carrier is allowed in these circumstances:
- Travel between gateway airports need not be on a U.S. carrier if the gateway abroad is the origin or destination point and use of a U.S. carrier would extend time in travel status by at least 24 hours;
- If the gateway abroad is an interchange airport, a U.S. carrier is unavailable if its use would require a wait of 6 hours or more to make connections or time in travel status would be extended by 6 hours or more;
- For travel between two points outside U.S. – use of foreign air carrier is allowed if it eliminates 2 or more aircraft changes or 6 or more hour extension in time in travel status;
If using a non-U.S. carrier, a justification statement, in the form prescribed by the regulations must be prepared and submitted to the sponsor with a request for approval 301-3.6 (c)(3). Approval must be requested and obtained prior to the scheduled travel. The approval must be on file in the Office of Post Award Administration.
If approval is not submitted to the Office of Post Award Administration and expenditures are disallowed, the department or traveler will need to cover the cost.
Exceptions to the Fly America Act: Travel that is to be reimbursed from federal grants and contracts must be booked through U.S. carriers except in the following circumstances:
- When the use of U.S. carrier service would extend travel time (including delay at origin) by 24 hours or more
- When the costs of transportation are reimbursed in full by a third party, such as a foreign government or an international agency
- When U.S. carriers do not offer nonstop or direct service between origin and destination. However, a U.S. carrier must be used on every portion of the route where it provides service unless, when compared to using a foreign air carrier, such use would:
Increase the number of aircraft changes outside the United States by two or more
- Extend travel time by at least six hours or more
- Require a connecting time of four hours or more at an overseas interchange point.

text: As you now I've been looking for a replacement for my lovely, lovely Celine that I've been wearing more or less every day since 2-3 years back. And I will still keep my Celine, it's just that I need a back up, since that poor thing is more or less falling apart. The only thing is that it's more fun to buy something different, but, I know that in the end of the day I need a black classic bag. So, my question to you is. Should I go for this one above, from Saint Laurent (in black I guess), that I think is a PERFECT replacement for my Celine. Or, am I boring? Should I go for something totally else… Can't make up my mind… HEADACHE!

Live In-Studio: Mary Gauthier
Wed. 9/21 at 130pm: Tune in for a live musical serenade and interview with acclaimed Louisiana singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier. She is joined by fiddler Tania Elizabeth.
Host: Carol Boss
Mary Gauthier will be performing with Over the Rhine and Richard Shindell at the KiMo Theatre on Thursday, Sept 22nd. For show info, visit AMPConcerts
From AMP Concerts:
Mary Gauthier's most recent album, The Foundling, opened the door on the defining circumstance of her life, the emotional journey and aftermath of finding the mother who abandoned her in New Orleans after her birth. The story of The Foundling resonated across the country, literally, and was named in many year-end Top Album lists. In the Los Angeles Times, music writer Randy Lewis noted: "The acclaimed Louisiana singer and songwriter tackles the most powerful story of all?that of her own life?in this extraordinarily powerful and clear-eyed song cycle encompassing issues of abandonment, adoption, identity, blame, forgiveness and love set to music as richly diverse as the thematic content."

Franzen's passing helps lead Wings' new top line; Mrazek called up from Grand Rapids
Defenseman Brendan Smith said he likes what the Red Wings' potent line of Johan Franzen, David Legwand and Gustav Nyquist is providing.
- 7:25 PM, Mar. 8, 2014
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.

'It's no fun,' Andersson said. 'We already had a lot of centermen hurt. It's a bad position, I guess.' The Wings are trying to claw their way back into the playoff picture. Their center depth now reads: David Legwand, Riley Sheahan, Luke Glendening and Emmerton.
We recap the set of circumstances that led to the Wings bringing home Grosse Pointe Woods' own David Legwand.
Defenseman Brendan Smith said he likes what the Red Wings' potent line of Johan Franzen, David Legwand and Gustav Nyquist is providing.
Mike Modano spent 20 minutes choking back tears while he thanked old teammates, family, friends, coaches and fans before stepping off the stage to watch his No. 9 get lifted to the rafters.
Ryan Miller stopped 26 shots, and David Backes broke up a scoreless game in the second period, helping the St. Louis Blues beat the Colorado Avalanche, 2-1, Saturday in a Central Division showdown.
So Detroit will pay for the bulk of the new arena because it will host other events. I say let the Ilitches run those events, too, and let them pay for the whole thing.
For the first time in franchise history, the Red Wings' lineup featured five Michigan-born or raised players Abdelkader (Muskegon), Legwand (Grosse Pointe Woods/Detroit), Miller (East Lansing), Luke Glendening (Grand Rapids) and Danny DeKeyser (Macomb Township).
The Detroit Red Wings made sure not to let this one slip by. They took a 2-0 lead tonight against the New Jersey Devils, then blew that lead thanks to three consecutive Devils goals before scoring four unanswered en route to a 7-4 victory at Joe Louis Arena.
Even after consecutive close losses on last-minute goals, Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock isn't worried about his team's psyche.
The former Detroit Red Wings captain had another great night at Joe Louis Arena as they raised his No.5 jersey to the rafters:
Might there be room for another retired number in the rafters in another month? How about No. 22? The Wings have the fifth-longest consecutive Stanley Cup playoff streak in NHL history with 22 straight appearances, a roll that started the season before Lidstrom's rookie year. But as Detroit officially and fondly said farewell and thanks to Lidstrom, it wasn't without a touch of melancholy
Roberto Luongo made 25 saves in his return to Florida, while Dmitry Kulikov and Jesse Winchester each scored power-play goals to lead the Panthers over the Buffalo Sabres, 2-0, on Friday night.
The reunion stretched on a little long, because the perfect good-bye was to let Nicklas Lidstrom linger. The Swede who played his way into hockey history books and Detroit Red Wings lore kept his face neutral for most of the evening Thursday, finally breaking into a smile and a sweet look at his wife and sons as his number went to the rafters of Joe Louis Arena.
David Legwand is a Detroiter through and through. Legwand, whom the Detroit Red Wings acquired in a trade with the Nashville Predators on Wednesday, grew up in Grosse Pointe Woods or, as he puts it, '7 and 94.' He lives in Michigan in the off-season and he talked easily with reporters today about the Detroit Tigers and Michigan's Big Ten title-winning basketball team.
Colorado's Andre Benoit scored with 31 seconds left in overtime when he got a great cross-ice feed from rookie Nathan MacKinnon.
Brendan Shanahan talks before the ceremony to retire Nicklas Lidstrom's number.
Nicklas Lidstrom will have his jersey No. 5 retired by the Detroit Red Wings tonight. Take a look back at his incredible career on the Wings' blue line.
The Predators let go of some history at the NHL trade deadline and looked to the future.
Even if the next face of the franchise is in the building when the Dallas Stars retire Mike Modano's No. 9 on Saturday, any comparison will fall short.
'I've been looking up to the rafters a long time and seeing those names,' Lidstrom said Wednesday. 'It's still surreal that my name's going to be going up there, too, and it's a tremendous honor to have my name up there as well.'
Lidstrom, Mike Babcock, Ken Holland and Christopher Ilitch are scheduled to speak. Lidstrom contemporaries Chris Chelios, Brendan Shanahan, Igor Larionov, Vladimir Konstantinov, Kris Draper, Scotty Bowman and others are expected to attend.
Legwand, Grosse Pointe Woods native, has 10 goals and 30 assists in 62 games this season. Legwand, 33, will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. The Wings sent little-used forward Patrick Eaves, a prospect to be named and a third-round draft pick to Nashville in return.
'While Marian and I would love to be there, we won't be at tomorrow's jersey retirement for Nick Lidstrom. This past year, I had a medical procedure that has kept me out of the spotlight for awhile. I feel much better now, and I'm stronger every day. While we may not attend every event, we never miss a game on TV and are very involved in all our businesses every day from home and the office.'
The Rangers had been trying to sign Callahan, who can become an unrestricted free agent this summer, but weren't able to reach an agreement with the gritty forward. Instead of risking losing him for nothing on the open market, New York dealt him, a second-round pick in this year's draft, and a first-round pick in next year's draft to Tampa Bay today for St. Louis, a disgruntled two-time NHL scoring champion.
Forward Pavel Datsyuk (knee) did not practice and also will not be available. With their number of healthy centers dwindling, the Wings recalled Cory Emmerton from Grand Rapids.
The Detroit Red Wings haven't missed the playoffs since before Tomas Tatar, Tomas Jurco and Riley Sheahan were born. Joakim Andersson hadn't learned to walk when the Wings last had a long summer break.
Today's NHL trade deadline day has work to do if it wants to match the plot-twisting drama that occurred on the day before the deadline.
The New Jersey Devils scored three times in the third period to beat the Detroit Red Wings, 4-3, Tuesday night.
'This is a game we should have won,' Johan Franzen said. 'If we just keep paying attention to details out there, we'd win this game. We can't let us off the hook. We've got to feel like we should win these games, because we should.'
Tyler Bozak scored on a penalty shot, then got the winning goal 1:51 into overtime to lift the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 3-2 victory over the Rangers on Wednesday night, spoiling the New York debut of Martin St. Louis.
The NHL trade deadline is Wednesday afternoon, so to help you stay on top of things, dear reader, we'll be rounding up the latest web chatter involving the Detroit Red Wings each day. Now, we can't vouch for the veracity of the information, only that it comes from decent outlets and that we don't know it not to be true.
Might there be room for another retired number in the rafters in another month? How about No. 22? The Wings have the fifth-longest consecutive
Dallas' Rich Peverley collapsed on the bench during the first period.

Cookie to go with Sweet Corn Ice Cream
It is sweet corn season in Iowa. This is as close as you can get to manna from heaven. I want to make sweet corn ice cream for dessert for a ladies' luncheon and would like to serve a cookie with it for a contrast.
I'm stymied. Corn is usually served with butter and salt, but I do not have a good salted butter cookie recipe. It also wouldn't make much of a color contrast. Iowa is also known for pork so I am also thinking something with bacon--maybe a twist of maple bacon. I'm open to recipes and suggestions. I want to be adventurous here.
I think blueberries and sweet corn go nicely together. Maybe something like these? http://www.howsweeteats.com/2011/06/brown-sugar-blueberry-cookies/
ETA: or these: http://bakerbettie.com/2012/02/22/sof...
I'm loving these ideas. I knew this was the place to come for inspired ideas. I am leaning toward the lime basil shortbread cookies. as they seem to be a great counterpoint to the sweetness of the corn. I may experiment and see if I can use my cast iron cornstick pan as a mold. I like the idea of the surprise of "its a corn cookie, no it's corn ice cream!" If I can't get the cast iron mold to work, I may at least hand shape them to look like the outline of an ear of corn.
I can see the buttery, yellow ice cream now in an antique, shallow champagne glass with an "ear" of lime, basil shortbread cheekily cocked to the side.
re: sheilafri
I've made the lime basil shortbread cookies. I wrapped a plastic bag over the cast iron cornstick pan and pressed chilled dough into the top part of the "ear". They did flatten out and lose some definition when cooked, but one still gets the basic impression of an ear of corn. They make me think of a midwest version of a madeleine. I omitted the lemon from the recipe and used only lime zest and juice. i think they will be a great contrast to the ice cream.
Could you bake in one of these?
re: Kris in Beijing
Kris, who are you asking? And is that what I think it is, a cornstick pan?
I wouldn't try to alter a recipe that far, at least not the first time. This is a shortbready sort of cookie that is quite rich, and I think the weight of the dough would make them crumble, due to the thickness of the sticks.
I was thinking a nice crispy herb cookie would work so well with this. You might enjoy these:
Herb Cookies - oven preheated to 350, several greased or parchment-lined cookie sheets.
Cream together 1 c. softened, unsalted butter and 2 c. sugar. Add 4 eggs one at a time, and beat well to blend after each addition. In a separate bowl, sift together 4 c. flour, 1/2 t. soda, 2 t. baking powder and 1/2 t. salt. Add any one of the following: 2 T. crushed Caraway or Fennel seeds; crushed coriander or cardamom seeds, 1 T. crushed dried basil or crushed dried marjoram leaves. Fold herbs into dry ingredients. Stir dry ingredients into creamed mixture until well-mixed. Form into 3 balls; wrap and chill them at least an hour. Roll out each ball about 1/8 " thick and cut into rounds or shapes w/ cookie cutter. Bake on lightly greased cookie sheet for about 10 minutes, but check after 8 so they don't brown too much. Cool on rack; sift w/ powdered sugar. Or not. These are great; a nice crispy sandy texture and an absolutely delicious flavor. -
A simple sable. Or, you could doctor it up w/ parmesan, like this Dorie Greenspan variation.
I love basil with corn. This lime-basil shortbread could play off the Mexican traditional presentation of corn on the cob: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...
These butter pecan cookies have a wonderful salty sweetness in a gorgeous deeply colored cookie.

I was impressed with these --
more of a complement than a contrast. Here's an old post about them.

re: AMrunnergirl
We just made this cookies today and liked them alot. Very nice salty, crunchy texture too.-
re: HillJ
Hey there! I keep hearing about these corn cookies and would like to give them a shot. Did you make the modified recipe as posted above (slightly less butter)? If so, would you think of cutting back the butter even more if you made them again, as the blogger suggested? Yours in corn!
re: HillJ
Hey, friend! I've got my "Just Corn" and am almost ready to go. Did you use salted butter or unsalted?
ETA: I'm guessing unsalted...I use 1 stick of salted butter and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for my chocolate chip; 2 sticks and a teaspoon would be doubling it...but 1.5 teaspoons makes me think unsalted butter. Make sense?
re: HillJ
These cookies were SO worth the wait--as are so many of life's finer things--mere words cannot express!Used the same recipe you did except I used Vermont Creamery salted butter and 1 teaspoon Kosher salt in the dough. Used my (broken) cookie scoop, did not flatten tops. Baked for 15 minutes (I think 18 would have been too long in my oven) and sprinkled with Australian flake salt crushed between my fingers when I took them out. ANY corn lover must try these!

Ex-Mayor Kilpatrick asks appeals court to free himBy Associated press
Related links
A lawyer for Kwame Kilpatrick says the ex-Detroit mayor is vulnerable to attack at a federal prison while his injured knee is immobilized with a brace. James Thomas asked a federal appeals court Thursday to release Kilpatrick from the Milan prison while he awaits his sentence for corruption. Thomas listed many reasons, including the ex-mayor's health and his notoriety. Thomas says Kilpatrick won't flee because he's broke and would be easily recognized at 6 foot 4 inches tall and nearly 300 pounds. Detroit federal Judge Nancy Edmunds ordered him locked up after his conviction two months ago. A date for his sentence hasn't been set. Kilpatrick injured his knee. His lawyer says he needs surgery, and his inability to move around the prison could make him a target. Topics in this article:Kilpatrick, Kwame Crime/Courts

I received another tip this past week from a reader on substituting cauliflower in place of potatoes to boost a salad's nutritional value.
"I read your column all the time and love it," writes June Staats. "I also clip some recipes I think I may try. I read the one about the cauliflower instead of potatoes in a salad and I love that idea."
She said she once made potato salad using half cauliflower and it turned out great.
"Just barely cook the cauliflower until crisp-tender and add to cooked and diced potatoes and then whatever you like in a salad. I dressed it with mayo, mustard, vinegar and a sugar dressing I make. It's very good and the ladies at church love it!"
Speaking of side dishes, I recently wrote about the health benefits of delicious grains like faro and quinoa after sampling a wonderful faro dish served by John Brown's team during the cooking competition that took place at "Edgewood Becomes a Work of Art" earlier this month at the country club.
In light of that, check out this week's easy recipe courtesy of Alter Eco for a colorful Summer Quinoa Salad that blends fresh veggies and basil with the nutty grain for a festive side dish.
Finally, in light of the recent piece I did on spicing up your traditional burger toppings and condiments, here's a "Mayo Clinic" report from a recent issue of Bon Appetit I thought you might find interesting as well.
"It seems impossible to improve on a creamy swipe of mayonnaise, but spiking our favorite decadent spread with another ingredient or two makes it even more complex and flavorful," the article began. "Just stir one of these components into store-bought mayo."
* Sesame seeds and toasted sesame oil, for roast pork or grilled fish.
* Sriracha hot sauce, for pulled pork, roast turkey or grilled chicken.

Clawhammer is one name for a fingerstyle guitar technique—a way of plucking the strings with the thumb and fingers of the right hand. It differs from classical guitar technique in the angle of the fingers and because frequently only the thumb, index, and middle finger of the right hand are used (the action of the two fingers resembling the movement of a clawhammer as it pulls out nails). The little finger is often pressed against the soundboard of the guitar to support the fingers. Three finger styles are also common.
Clawhammer styles were also used by early banjo pickers. Country and folk blues music for guitar often uses clawhammer techniques. One of the leading exponents,who disseminated the style widely through the Sixties blues and folk revival was the Rev Gary Davis. Sam McGhee was an early white country picker. The style was adapted and modernised by the likes of Nashville player and record producer Chet Atkins and is used today by rock star Mark Knopfler. Many leading exponents of "hot" country guitar have adapted the technique to the electric instrument by using a plectrum between thumb and forefinger and using middle and third (ring) fingers to pluck the strings.Albert Lee is a prime exponent of this approach. Clawhammer variants are common in many world music styles, but it remains in its purest form an acoustic folk or blues technique—James Taylor has adapted the technique to the pop market while it is still a prime rhythm technique of the Nashville studios. Clawhammer often relates specifically to a method of playing the five-string banjo. Unlike Scrugs style, in which strings are picked individually using the thumb, index, and middle fingers, in clawhammer playing the melody string is picked downwards with the nail of the index or middle finger, followed by a strum using the same nail, after which the shorter fifth string is picked using the thumb. Clawhammer and the closely related playing method called frailing are a highly rhythmic and common component of American old-time music. Whether or not clawhammer and frailing are one and the same is the subject of heated debate within old-time music circles. |

The Skinny On Opera
Listen closely: Even 'Penzance' may be updated
Posted: Thursday, April 5th
It was the opening night of Opera Carolina's 2003 production of "The Mikado." With Gilbert's words and Sullivan's music as the ever-dependable driving forces, the show was bustling along.
Suddenly one character made a wisecrack that didn't originate with Gilbert. It was a jab at someone whose name sounded like George Shin. I -- who had only lived in Charlotte for two months -- had no idea who that was. But it took only a moment to realize that everybody else in the Belk Theater must've been plenty familiar with him. They were getting a big kick at this Shin's expense. Later, someone enlightened me as to who George Shinn was (former Charlotte Hornets owner) and why the crowd loved to hate him.
The cast and director were indulging in a favorite Gilbert-and-Sullivan sideline: spicing up the pair's timeless satire with a timely mirth. "Mikado" offers the classic spot for it when the Lord High Executioner reveals "I've got a little list" -- a recitation of "society offenders" who deserve his professional attention. Every era and locale has candidates for that, no?
Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance," which Opera Carolina presents beginning Thursday, has no spots so tempting, stage director Bill Fabris said. Fabris aims to keep "Pirates" in its original Victorian setting.
He thinks, nonetheless, that a few olden references need updating. In one case, he'll transplant the name of a modern-day cruise line in place of a long-ago one that might be meaningless to today's listeners. Will it work? We'll see beginning Thursday. Keep your ears and minds attuned. That's always the key to Gilbert and Sullivan -- if you want to get in on the fun.

National Night Out is a big party which helps prevent crime
The nation's Night Out celebration is set for another year with several local festivities and block parties scattered throughout the community. This year's event takes place on Tuesday, Aug. 7, with more than 25 neighborhood parties and potlucks.
The nation's Night Out celebration is set for another year with several local festivities and block parties scattered throughout the community.
This year's event takes place on Tuesday, Aug. 7, with more than 25 neighborhood parties and potlucks.
"Everybody has such busy schedules, sometimes you have to schedule an event so the neighbors can talk and the kids can play," said Bill Nelson, host of a National Night Out party in Lakeside, which will include hot dogs, lemonade, and a live band. "It's just a wonderful opportunity for friends, family, and neighbors to come together."
Besides friends, family, and neighbors, police officers also make appearances at many of the block party celebrations.
"The Duluth police and fire departments try to attend every event so they can connect with neighborhoods and to let children know they are here to help them," said Mary Schmitz, who's helping run an event at CHUM. "Our event nearly always has some police hanging out and eating."
"It's important to celebrate our communities and just have fun," Lieutenant Leigh Wright told the Budgeteer. "It also gives officers the opportunity to reach out and interact with residents. The public is always very happy to see us at the different celebrations."
So, why was National Night Out created in the first place?
It wasn't fashioned solely for eating and conversing with
According to the official NNO website, it's "a unique crime and drug prevention event" and is designed to "heighten crime and drug awareness and strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships" among other goals.
However, Pam Kleinschmidt has seen these ideas abused in the past.
"Some politicians and others with an agenda sometimes show up at events to "press the flesh" and talk up their causes," Kleinschmidt told the Budgeteer. "This in my opinion takes away from the purpose of the evening, which is to simply meet your neighbors and show criminals that we are united against crime."
However, she said that people love this event and many have hosted for several years because they see the value of bringing their neighbors and community together.
"The community benefits by recognizing their neighbors and this event makes you more aware of them," Stacey DeRoche, who is hosting another event in the Northland, told the Budgeteer. "Many times we agree to keep an eye on each other's homes while we're away."

This September marks the fifth anniversary of my shop, Asylum Comics. The milestone has left me more than a little nostalgic, and got me thinking about the thousands of comics that have passed through my doors in the last half-decade. So I've compiled some highlights, a list of the comics released during my time in business that have stuck with me and made me proudest of the art form that's become my career. What follows are each modern classics that deserve to be on every reader's bookshelf.
- Y the Last Man (DC / Vertigo. Vol. 1-10, $12.99-14.99 each.) - A plot about the only male on the planet to survive a plague allowed writer Brian K. Vaughan to explore issues of gender and society, creating a graphic novel masterpiece in the process.
- Civil War (Marvel. $24.99.) - Real world politics and hot button issues like privacy and civil liberties led to a superhero brawl like the Marvel Universe had never seen before, with hero fighting hero... and neither side wrong.
Article Photos
- Blackest Night (DC. $29.99.) - A horror movie set in the DC Universe, every hero or villain who ever died suddenly returned from the grave, leaving it up to Green Lantern and friends to fight former allies, solve the mystery and save the world.
- Immortal Iron Fist (Marvel. Vol. 1-3, $14.99-17.99 each.) - A product of the kung-fu crazy 1970s and a B-list character at best, the fact that Iron Fist became the most action-packed and consistently entertaining new series from Marvel this decade was an unexpected pleasure.
- Captain America No. 25 (Marvel. Collected in "The Death of Captain America Vol. 1: Death of the Dream," $14.99.) - I haven't had a day like the day when this book hit before or since. After the shock of learning that they'd really killed Steve Rogers, realization dawned that I hadn't ordered nearly enough copies and the phone just kept ringing...
- All-Star Batman No. 1-10 (DC. Collected in "All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder Vol. 1," $19.99.) - One of the first books to ever grace Asylum's shelves, legendary creators Frank Miller and Jim Lee's blockbuster-that-wasn't became the most controversial, divisive - and train-wreck fascinating - take on the Caped Crusader in years.
- The Walking Dead (Image. Vol. 1-12, $9.99-14.99 each.) - There's no such thing as a casual fan of this "zombie movie that never ends." Anyone who's ever bought the first volume comes back ravenous for more.
- Hellboy: The Island No. 1-2 (Dark Horse. Collected in "Hellboy Vol. 6: Strange Places," $17.99.) - The first Hellboy mini-series of Asylum's tenure begins with a boatload of drunken skeletons and ends with the secret history of the world. Paired with "The Third Wish" in paperback form, you have Mike Mignola's finest work of this millennium.
- Astonishing X-Men (Marvel. Vol. 1-4, $14.99-19.99 each.) - The X-Men are what got me into comics, and this timeless tale by writer Joss Whedon and artist John Cassaday does my memory proud, while retaining a modern, sophisticated edge.
- All-Star Superman (DC. Vol. 1-2, $12.99 each.) - Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely combine the trappings of silly Silver Age science-fiction with humor and heart to illustrate why Superman is still the greatest hero of them all.
