This month we publish Peter Fleming's classic travel book, Brazilian Adventure, which charts an expedition, advertised in the personal columns of The Times in 1932, to ascertain the fate of Colonel Percy Fawcett – soldier, spy, legendary explorer – who in 1925 embarked on a trip to the heart of Brazil in search of the 'Lost City of Z', never to be seen again. Here, in his foreword to this new edition, Giles Foden explains why, to his mind, Peter Fleming's re-telling of this Brazilian adventure amounts to 'the greatest travel book ever.'
When I worked in newspapers, I took every opportunity to get away from the desk job. Working on the literary pages of a national chiefly involves the opening and sending out of parcels of books; it is, in itself, no passport to Parnassus. Now and then, strolling into the editorial offices of the Guardian on London's Farringdon Road, usually later in the morning than might be expected, I would pass the postal sorting office at Mount Pleasant nearby. Often I would wonder if I might as well be working there. Once I was at my desk, thoughts of elsewhere would soon begin to percolate through my mind.
Mostly for my forays I had to make do with the betting shops of north London – I suppose gambling is a form of travel, too. But there were a few genuine journeys abroad, mainly commissions for the foreign or travel departments. Fishing in Zambia, a couple of trips to Uganda (one to cover a grisly set of cult-related murders), something about oil prospecting off Zanzibar. And then there were trips I made to research books, to Lake Tanganyika and elsewhere.
Always the thought was, how long can I stay? How long can I get away with being away before the editor gives me gyp? So when I read of Peter Fleming's anxiety, while making the astonishing journey described in Brazilian Adventure, about getting back to The Spectator, where he worked as an assistant literary editor, I really appreciate it.
In April 1932, Fleming replied to an advertisement in the personal columns of The Times:
Exploring and sporting expedition, under experienced guidance, leaving England June to explore rivers central Brazil, if possible ascertain fate Colonel Percy Fawcett; abundant game, big and small; exceptional fishing; ROOM TWO MORE GUNS; highest references expected and given.
The resulting book about this expedition is to my mind the greatest travel book ever. Its virtues are not so much about the journey, but perhaps one had better first bend one's attention to the details of that, as Fleming himself might have said: an establishment rebel, he seems to have taken particular delight in paying heed to and then subverting conventions for writing, as well as conventions in much else.
The expedition went by ship to Rio and from there to São Paulo, then overland to the rivers Araguaia and Tapirapé. Their destination was the last-known position of Fawcett, who had disappeared in the jungle seven years earlier. A British artillery officer and archaeologist, Percy Fawcett had gone to South America with his son Jack in search of the 'Lost City of Z', supposedly the remnant of an ancient civilization which he believed to have thrived in the jungles of Brazil.
The pursuers had very little to go on. Following in Fawcett's footsteps as best they could, they soon began arguing amongst themselves, largely over the role and qualities of one 'Major Pingle'. This is the pseudonym that Fleming gives to the 'American citizen, holding – or claiming to hold – a commission in thePeruvian army' whom the expedition had engaged to be its local leader.
Disagreements with the dreadful Pingle caused Fleming and a couple of others to break away from the main expedition and continue the search for Fawcett. While there are touches of drama in that story, it was always going to be a story of defeat. Defeat by the jungle, defeat by the paucity of information about Fawcett, defeat by Major Pingle's inadequacies. It is the return journey, during which Fleming's party and Pingle's party race each other down the river Araguaia, which is truly dramatic. But the fact is, one does not read this book for its drama, which can be cooked up by any competent writer. One reads it for its wit, its sprezzatura, that quality of apparent effortlessness which was defined by Baldassare Castiglione in his Book of the Courtier (1528) as 'a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it'.
One can see fairly easily how – through the Grand Tour and other influences of the Renaissance – this practice of studied carelessness became a quality of the English upper classes, a group of which Fleming was a fully-qualified member. Born in 1907 into the Fleming banking family, he was the son of the barrister and MP Valentine Fleming, who was killed in action in 1917. Peter's younger brother was Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond books. Many have remarked that Peter was to some degree part of the model for Bond and it could be argued the whole 007 legend was a product of sibling rivalry.
Peter Fleming went to Eton College and to Christ Church, Oxford, where he got a First in English. In 1935, he married Celia Johnson, whose many roles would include parts in Brief Encounter and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. After service with the Grenadier Guards in Norway during World War II, Fleming became head of 'D Division', running military deception operations in Southeast Asia. He received an OBE for his war work in 1945.
As well as working at The Spectator, Fleming was for a period Special Correspondent for The Times. Further travels abroad furnished material for other witty travel books published in the 1930s, such as One's Own Company: A Journey to China and News from Tartary. There was also a novel, The Sixth Column (1952), based on his work establishing the secret army of civilian volunteers that would fight on, behind enemy lines, as part of British anti-invasion preparations during World War II.
After the war, Peter Fleming lived the life of a country squire at Nettlebed, Oxfordshire, though he would no doubt disparage the description. A riding accident meant there would be no more travel books but he continued with journalism in a gentlemanly way. He also helped his brother (for so long the junior figure) construct and edit the Bond canon. After Ian's death in 1964, he managed his literary estate with great skill and foresight. Peter himself died in 1971 while grouse shooting in Scotland. The rest of the party decided he died happy, engaged in his greatest passion, and continued shooting.
Brazilian Adventure remains Fleming's greatest achievement. A bestseller in its time, it has since become a classic. It is most notable for the curious way it can remain within the sphere of the exotic while puncturing the pretensions associated with that realm of gold. This, to employ Fleming's own style, is also known as having one's cake and eating it.
Anyone who has ever travelled in hard country will recognize from this book the 'lackadaisical fatalism' that sometimes afflicts the beleaguered traveller; or the way in which nicknames and coinings are used to deflect unease. Another point to make is how lightly Fleming employs the heavy guns of considerable learning – as with the cigana birds which, like the fallen angels in Paradise Lost, set up 'a dismal universal hiss' at the explorers' approach.
As for light guns, it is a measure of Fleming's fame in the 1930s that a long Times correspondence focused on the merits of his rook rifle, a weapon which features in Brazilian Adventure and in the series of articles about his trip to Peking in 1935 that became News from Tartary.1
One shouldn't think that an excess of wit, or of learning, or in skill with firearms, must be counterbalanced by scantiness of wisdom. In his ironical manner, Fleming says as much about the culture of travel and adventure as the most solemn scholarly exegesis. The main issue he exposes is how physical hardship is bound up with a joy in being intrepid, even foolhardy:
We started back at a good speed towards the embers of the sunset. We were not on, and we did not seem to be near, the route by which we had come out. The jungle was much thicker. We made slow and exasperated progress. Soon it became very bad – so bad that the exasperation left us and we tasted that fierce and irresponsible delight that comes when you are contending with odds to the limit of your physical energies.
For all Fleming's vaunting of his team's 'splendid incompetence', one should not doubt that the adventure described in this book was full of genuine peril. Page after page, he makes light of experiences that today would be blown up into full-length documentaries or feature films. Part of that making light relates to the deliberate crashing, for bathetic effect, of language associated with diplomacy or literary work (or any other activity which might be suspected of delusions of grandeur) into descriptions of the daily business of the expedition.
To take two examples associated with sleep, which was something in short supply on this adventure:
We introduced the time-factor by pointing at the sun and sketching its progress across the sky with a sweep of one arm. At the end of every sweep we pillowed our heads on our hands and said 'Dorme'. They understood this all right; we had, as the statesmen say, Found a Formula. Eventually it seemed as if everything that could be done had been done, and I went through the process known to novelists of the last century as composing myself for slumber.
Joseph Conrad had died in 1924, eight years previously, and it is easy to see cartoon-like versions of his style in Fleming's writing. Indeed Fleming himself describes the expedition as 'a venture for which Rider Haggard might have written the plot and Conrad designed the scenery'. But perhaps it is in the work of Fleming's Oxfordshire neighbour John Buchan that we should look for the exemplum, for does not Fleming in style and manner resemble Buchan's greatest character, Richard Hannay?
Other lines of comparison might be drawn. If Ian Fleming, as has once been said, provides a link between the spy fictions of Kipling and le Carré, then it might equally be said that Peter Fleming provides a link between the great explorer-writers of the nineteenth century and figures such as Redmond O'Hanlon in our times. His spirit is also there in the many contemporary works of adventure fiction whose heroes light out for the postcolonial territory uncertain of what they might find – uncertain, even, of who they are. What these characters need, most of all, is a dose of Flemingesque sprezzatura. But the only place you'll find it now is in these pages. ■

Given the delicate path that the UK's Green Investment Bank (GIB) will be forced to tread, whoever is in charge of headhunting would do well to focus on candidates with a background in tightrope walking.
The bank is being asked to invest in emerging, inherently risky clean-energy technologies, while simultaneously making a satisfactory return on the initial £3bn ($4.8bn) the government has seeded it with.
But the Edinburgh-based bank cannot afford to be too circumspect in choosing its investments. The initial funds are intended to cover only the next three years — and not getting the money out of the door quickly enough would be seen in almost as damning a light as investing it injudiciously.

Christian Friedrich was incredibly impressive Wednesday in his major league debut. In the 36 hours since he left the mound, fans, analysts and even the Rockies internally have been trying to parse together what to make from it. It was one start against a poor offense in a pitcher's paradise, but it was one very impressive start indeed.
In fact, he became one of just eight pitchers in Rockies history to win his MLB debut as a starter. Ironically, three of those eight came in the last 12 months by pitchers in the current rotation.
The game score his start produced was the fifth best by a Rockies starter in his debut, ever.
What does it mean? You might be surprised to learn that it means almost nothing, but that it is impressive nonetheless.
Friedrich is John Sickels' prospect of the day at Minor League Ball. He had this to say:
With better health, he's back up into the 90s now, topping out at 94 MPH on Wednesday and averaging 92. He has two breaking pitches, a curve and a slider, and both offerings appear sharper this year. Better velocity separation with the revived fastball helps, but his secondary pitches just look better in general. He also has a solid changeup. His command and control improved this spring after wobbling during his tenure at Tulsa.
Friedrich's successes this spring don't completely erase past concerns, but he looks a lot more like the confident, talented pitcher the Rockies drafted in 2008 than the guy who stumbled through Double-A.
I've compiled notable MLB debuts as starters - the eight winners plus top prospects and names. Names likeUbaldo Jimenez, Jhoulys Chacin, Cory Vance, John Burke, and Aaron Cook were not included, as their debuts came in relief.
Name | Debut Date | Age | Decision | Gm Score | Venue | Opponent |
Mark Brownson | 7/21/1998 | 23 | W | 85 | Astrodome | HOU |
Jason Jennings | 8/23/2001 | 23 | W | 81 | Shea Stadium | NYM |
Drew Pomeranz | 9/11/2011 | 22 | W | 63 | Coors Field | CIN |
Juan Nicasio | 5/28/2011 | 24 | W | 63 | Coors Field | STL |
Christian Friedrich | 5/9/2012 | 24 | W | 62 | Petco Park | SDP |
Jamey Wright | 7/3/1996 | 21 | ND | 62 | 3Com Park | SFG |
Franklin Morales | 7/18/2007 | 21 | ND | 58 | Dodger Stadium | LAD |
Bryan Rekar | 7/19/1995 | 23 | W | 49 | Coors Field | PHI |
Chin-Hui Tsao | 7/25/2003 | 22 | W | 49 | Coors FIeld | MIL |
Esmil Rogers | 9/12/2009 | 24 | ND | 49 | Petco Park | SDP |
Mark Thompson | 7/26/1994 | 23 | W | 41 | Jack Murphy Stadium | SDP |
Greg Reynolds | 5/11/2008 | 22 | L | 40 | Petco Park | SDP |
Jeff Francis | 8/25/2004 | 23 | L | 38 | Turner Field | ATL |
Off the bat, one should notice the very poor showing of Jeff Francis, the best Rockies-drafted starter of the last decade. Compare to the best showing, Mark Brownson, who used a glorious curveball to torment the Astros. His career lasted just 11 games, thanks to a 6.94 ERA, 9.70 at Coors Field.
Bryan Rekar is a different kind of example. His debut was decent enough, but after three starts, he had a 3.09 ERA and had averaged 7.2 IP per start. He ended up going 7-10 with a 5.62 ERA in three years with the Rockies before being taken by the Devils Rays in the expansion draft. He finished his career at age 30 with a 5.62 ERA.
So of course, Friedrich's debut guarantees him nothing as far as his career goes. You knew that already, but it isn't as if this is the most worthless warning out there.
Who Gets the Short Straw?
It might guarantee him something though - a shot at another start. A chance to stick. As Troy Renck wrote, the Rockies suddenly have usable depth and options in the rotation. Another adjective - quality - remains to be seen. However, after a strong rehab start with Modesto, Jeremy Guthrie is ready to re-join the rotation next Tuesday in San Francisco. There will not be a six man rotation, so someone has to go to AAA.
With the worst rotation in the National League, it would be tough to demote a starter who is pitching well, which counts Friedrich and Alex White after their 2012 debuts. Jeremy Guthrie will stay - he is making too much money, has no options, and has too much of a quality MLB track record not to. Jamie Moyer has the lowest ERA on the staff. Drew Pomeranz is the future and is arguably the best overall performer on staff. Juan Nicasio has been uneven, but he has also been dominant in half of his starts.
What seems likely is to make one turn with a 6-man rotation, running Moyer, Nicasio and Pomeranz against the Dodgers, White and Guthrie in San Francisco, then Friedrich to open the homestand against Arizona and evaluate his performance at Coors Field. At that time, a decision could be made.
All the Glory, Trevor Story
We profiled Story last week in the Farm Report, and he is getting attention elsewhere as well. John Sickels ranked Story aggressively as the Rockies' #4 prospect in the offseason, ahead of Baseball America (#6), Fangraphs (#6), Baseball Prospectus (#8), and Purple Row (#12). Despite that high ranking, Sickels is already upgrading Story after one month:
I had him at Grade B pre-season but he's a B+ now and heading higher.
He also earned the praises of Mike Newman at Fangraphs yesterday. In a twitter conversation with me, Newman added that Story is a:
...Hell of a player. A new personal favorite. My first impression of Story is that he WILL max out the tools he does have. It's cliche, but very important so early. I couldn't have been more impressed with him as a ballplayer.
Rockies' Troy Tulowitzki wanted to play even after injury - The Denver Post - Anyone shocked?
Baseball Prospectus | Raising Aces: Where's Ubaldo? His strikeout rate is down, his walk rate up, his home runs up, his ground balls down. Essentially, everything about Ubaldo's performance is significantly worse. This article, which is understandably behind a pay wall, evaluates Ubaldo's mechanics - his posture, torque and stride specifically, with before and after screenshots. Very clearly, his shoulder is flying open. Two starts (October 2, 2010 and May 6, 2012) were graded for balance, momentum, torque, posture, release distance, and repetition. He was even on release distance and better in 2012 on momentum, but the rest were much worse. This is a great read.
BaseballAmerica.com: Draft: Mock Draft: Mock Draft: Version 1.0 The first mock draft came out yesterday, and Jim Callis suggests the Rockies may diverge from choosing a starting pitcher, given their lack of success in the first round since Jeff Francis. The pick is Alabama HS outfielder David Dahl.

(Updated) Otsego student held for alleged school threats |

It's time to stop coddling these kids and start publishing the names. If you're in high school you're old enough to know better than to pull something like this when everyone's nerves are raw from the recent events.

Says the person hiding a fake name. LOL. Seems a bit hypocritical!

2012-12-20 09:58
I didn't threaten anyone or break the law in any way so, therefore, my name does not need to be published. Nothing hypocritical about that - maybe look up the meanting of that word before speaking.
2012-12-17 16:29
The stupid things people will say and do. Seriously, get your kids some mental help if they're like this. Don't ignore the signs or deny ANYTHING. We don't need another school incident like this occurring. My thoughts and prayers to all the kids involved and that were threatened. Please stay safe, and God Bless that nothing happened to any of you.
2012-12-18 06:28
Thank you to the Otsego staff for continuing to investigate this threat. The intent and means is up to the police to figure out. Students need to learn the weight words carry.
2012-12-18 12:20
Was this a realistic threat or just a foolish comment made through poor judgement? We may never know, and that's just fine with me. I sincerely appreciate the diligence of the Otsego staff and law enforcement officials that take a zero-tolerance stand on even what may be the most benign comments. Your swift and decisive action demonstrate how much you value the children of our community and the families that care for them. Thank-you
2012-12-18 14:46
Hats off to Haskins P.D. They are the ones that did all the leg work for this, not the S.O.

Jack: Not taking any credit away from anybody just think that if you are going to make a statement it should be factual (referring to Ricky's statement). Simple concept actually. Help they did but they didn't do "all the leg work".

One thing for sure, Sheriff Marky only cares about one thing. Himself. Not his family,county, or deputies. I don't know how he sleeps at night
No one ever gets any credit in Wood County except our Sheriff, he lives for it !

In many cases the names of juveniles involved in court can be published. The Sentinel-Tribune has long published the names of juveniles who receive traffic citations or are involved in traffic accidents. The thinking is that if a person is old enough to have a driver's license, they are old enough to accept the consequences. At the same time, names of juveniles (under age 18) are not used in most other court cases, but could be, pending some exceptions. Please see pages 40 and 41 of the Ohio Sunshine Law Book - available for free download on the website of the Ohio Attorney General. You can put it on your computer desktop for easy reference. It is easily searchable.

After reading some of these comments I thought I would add something. I have known the Sheriff for many years, long before he became sheriff. Mark has a wonderful family and is a gread dad. I know he is beyond reproach. You make him sound like a "glory hound". I assume you mean because he does interviews with the media. Who else would give the interviews, the cook at the jail? Ithink Mark has done a fantastic job of handling the law for our county. Here is to many more years as sheriff.
2013-01-04 11:41
Beyond reproach? You don't know him at all. The SO is rife with political cronyism. It is fine if you are friends; if not, good luck!!

Definition of Cox-2 inhibitorCox-2 inhibitor: An antiinflammatory drug that selectively blocks the cox-2 enzyme. Blocking this enzyme impedes the production of the chemical messengers that cause the pain and swelling of arthritis inflammation. Cox-2 inhibitors do not pose as great a risk of injuring the stomach or intestines as drugs that block cox-1. An example of a cox-2 inhibitor is celecoxib (brand name: Celebrex).

The geosciences began their modern incarnation in 1957 with the 18-month long International Geophysical Year (IGY). The IGY saw a global mobilization of effort to investigate all aspects of the Earth and the space environment. While American and Soviet space vehicles made startling new discoveries about the Earth's magnetic field and the Van Allen belt, strong observational evidence was added to reinforce the plate tectonic revolution. New insights were obtained relating to the structure and dynamics of the earth's interior, both mantle and core. During the 1950s and 1960s, digital computers made it possible to model the atmosphere and oceans and, ultimately, to predict weather and climate as fluid media.
The last four decades have been monumental years of discovery and accumulation of facts and detailed data on the solid earth, ocean, atmosphere, and space sciences. Significant theoretical insight concerning these topics has emerged, but deep problems remain to challenge conventional methodologies and insights derived from the physical sciences. The time is ripe to apply mathematical modeling and analysis techniques, including newer methods in continuous and discrete dynamical systems, stochastic processes, homogenization, and multiscale asymptotics to our investigation of these problems.

The Light Drop
The Light Drop is a light designed to look like it's dripping out of a faucet.
The Light Drop is supposed to make people think about how we are dealing with our natural resources , in this particular case, the water, which is the main source of energy for every living organism in this fantastic world. Water is energy indeed.
It's not currently in production and I don't completely understand the designer's explanation, but at least it looks neat.

Kate Middleton was violated while on vacation by a photographer who used a telephoto lens to capture her topless and possibly nude on a château balcony. It is hard to imagine anybody doing something so despicable, but the fact that it was a female is even more shocking. No, females are not above such dastardly tricks, but paparazzi tend to be men. Not to mention, it just seems like a woman would have felt some kind of camaraderie with the Duchess of Cambridge. Apparently not.
That woman is now in hiding as the royals aim to see her head on a pike. Okay, maybe not quite that serious, but the royal family is hoping to prosecute the female photographer, which could mean jail time. The disgusting woman who took the intimate photos is aptly nicknamed, "Sewer." If the shoe fits, you might as well slap it on. Valerie Suau is the real name of the woman named in legal proceedings filed on behalf of Prince William and his wife.
Suau admits she took some pictures of the couple wearing very little, but she did not take the topless photos. Hmm, is she trying to cover her own backside? The truth will come out, which explains why Suau is in hiding. Somebody got a lot richer after selling those photos and there will be some kind of paper trail. These people had to know the trouble they were stirring up when the photos of Kate Middleton were taken and then sold. They deserve every bit of punishment dropped on their nasty heads.

Pemberton Mayor Jordan Study has been confirmed as the official Liberal Party candidate for the upcoming provincial election.
"It is a really exciting opportunity," Sturdy said on Saturday (Feb. 16) after winning the nomination over Robin Smith. "Clearly I look at it as carrying on the work that I do now at a local level on a more regional context."
The news that Jordan Sturdy had won the nomination came after voting concluded in Squamish on Saturday. On Friday (Feb. 15), a "travelling ballot box" visited West Vancouver, and also made stops in Pemberton and Whistler earlier Saturday.
Sturdy was running unopposed for several months until former head of Smith, former CEO of the B.C. Dairy Association, announced his candidacy at the end of January.
The nomination process began after two-term MLA for West Vancouver-Sea to Sky Joan McIntyre announced at the beginning of September she would would not seek re-election.
"I've had the pleasure of working with Mayor Sturdy for a number of years," said McIntyre in a press release announcing Sturdy's nomination. "He is a strong leader and will be a strong advocate for our constituency."
B.C. voters are set to go to the polls to elect a new government on May 14. The Liberals are the first party to name a candidate in the riding that includes West Vancouver, Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton.

The threat of nuclear weapons is of big concern to the U.S. and other countries around the world, as evidenced by North Korea's announcement that it will expand its arsenal. In "Focus on Technology," Ann Thompson reports even before tension in the Korean peninsula, scientists were trying to identify and protect plutonium and uranium all over the globe.
North Koreans continue to face restrictions over cell phone and computer usage. As Google's chairman visits the country, Ann Thompson reports in Focus on Technology, what Eric Schmidt may want and what the future may hold for those who live there. East-West Center Associate Scott Thomas Bruce weighs in and so does Suk-Ho Shin, a reporter for South Korea's leading newspaper DONG-A-ILBO.


text: Jesse Bussard Archives Email Author Follow @Jesse Bussard I Like This Tweet -- Ranchers In The Forage Business Fodder for Thought My two cents says ranchers are not so much in the beef business as they are solar engineers. Published on: March 15, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print Scanning through my Twitter feed on Thursday afternoon, a tweet from Ron Hays of the Oklahoma Farm Report caught my eye. This tweet highlighted a statement made by Oklahoma State University ag economist Derrell Peel at the recent Texoma Cattlemen's Conference hosted by the Noble Foundation in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Peel's quote: "Ranch owners are not in the beef cattle business - you are in the forage business." Peel is right. This makes complete sense to me. However, I feel we need to take this statement one step further. Ranchers ultimately are in the solar energy business. Ranchers who are the most profitable are simply maximizing their land's ability to capture, convert and sell sunlight in the forms of food, be it plant or animal, fiber or fuel. There are many ways to profit from solar energy but all methods rely on one single and vital component – the plant. Plants are the solar collectors. The more leaf surface area you promote, the greater the ability of the plant to harvest more sunlight. In turn, the more potential energy you have available to sell. However, in order for any of this to occur, a healthy soil system and a diverse biological community of plants and animals must first exist. All wealth, all prosperity begins on the land and as is mentioned many times in presentations given at Ranching for Profit Schools, "Ecological health is the foundation for optimized economic health." Managing land in a holistic manner is a means to ensure this improved ecological health. It is also a way to get the big-picture view necessary to effectively manage a complex and changing biological system like a ranch. With the growing concerns of climate change and continued desertification of grasslands across the globe, now more than ever, we need a paradigm shift on the way the practice of ranching is viewed. Ranchers do not just raise cattle or beef like so many mainstream industry pundits proclaim. They are first and foremost solar energy engineers and grass farmers managing complex and constantly evolving ecosystems with a strategic and adaptive approach.

Servings: 10 servings
Prep Time: 45 min
Cook Time: 15 min
Difficulty: Easy
1 ½ loaves cinnamon bread, cut into 1" cubes
8 oz. cream cheese, cubed
12 eggs
2 cups milk
2/3 cup syrup
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Spray 13 x 9 casserole dish with nonstick spray. Put half of the cubed bread into the bottom of the prepared pan. Cover with the cream cheese.
In a small mixing bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle casserole with half of the sugar mixture. Cover remaining bread cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and syrup. Pour mixture over bread. Sprinkle top with remaining sugar mixture. Cover and refrigerate over night. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. If you shake pan and bread jiggles, bake a little longer. Serve hot with syrup.
I made this casserole for 20 young men on a camp outing. They LOVED it. It was simple to make, and worked well in a camping oven. The guys asked if we could do it again! The beauty is that it is NOT too detailed. Made it up the night before, kept it in a cooler overnight, and it came out perfect.

Very good! The easy way to make Stuffed French Toast. I took this to a Sunday School breakfast & everyone loved it. Just fyi...don't leave in oven after it's done to keep warm at all. It caused mine to burn a little bit on the bottom. My kids loved this as well!

By heather on May 07, 2011
I make this every year for Christmas morning. It is ABSOLUTELY delicious. I make it the day before and while we are opening our Santa gifts I toss it in the oven and it is ready when we are. It has become a tradition!
By vicki on March 14, 2011
Is the syrup you have in the recipe maple syrup?
By GINNY on March 08, 2011
In the original hand written recipe for french toast casserole it states 1 tablespoon of sugar, but you state 1 teaspoon of sugar. Is this a typo or did you change the amount on purpose? I love all of your recipes and they are always a big hit any time that I cook them. Thank you so much!
By Carol on November 30, 2010
I just love everything about Paula. Her recipes, stories about them and just how much they all fit in with family. I am alot about family. I am the one that cooks and brings everyone together. They even call me Paula because we sound alike and we cook alike. Thanks Paula for sharing your recipes and family stories with us.

WTF Was That!?!: Deep-Sea Siphonophore
This is a video of a deep-sea (770-meters to be exact) siphonophore doing its thing. What the f*** is a siphonophore?
...an eerily fantastic creature that appears to be a single, large organism, but which is actually a colony of numerous individual jellyfish-like animals that behave and function together as a single entity. The individual units, called zooids, all share the same genetic material and each perform a specialized role within the colony. The best-known siphonophore is the poisonous Portuguese Man o' War.
Mmmm, I can almost taste the wasabi and soy sauce from here.

Two people are hospitalized with stab wounds, and another person is arrested in a drunk driving crash, after an early morning incident at an East Texas night club.
Gregg County Sheriffs say it happened around 2:30am Saturday when individuals flagged down a sheriffs unit near the Enigma club on highway 31 near the Gregg-Smith County line.
Two occupants in a car were suffering stab wounds to the head and neck area, and an ambulance was requested.
While this was going on, DPS troopers say a Hispanic woman crashed into the back of a parked DPS unit as the stabbing was being investigated.
One stabbing victim was air-lifted to a Tyler hospital while the other was taken to a Longview hospital, both with serious injuries. The woman was arrested for DWI.
The circumstances of the stabbing are still being investigated.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The aromatic profile is assertive yet welcoming, sweetish yet cereal dry, and oaky yet floral and a touch briny; the quintessential 12-year-old malt bouquet. In the mouth, the integrated flavors come in waves of toasted walnut, dark caramel, toasted marshmallow and barely perceptible seaweed. -..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Laphroaig is considered one of the most strongly flavored scotches out there. Phenolic notes on the nose and palate. Flavors of driftwood, kelp and iodine, but never hot or rough. Smoky and long finish, where the sweetness of vanilla and fruit come through for balance.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Off-dry malted barley and light toffee smells greet the olfactory sense along with flowery fragrances of heather, rose petal and pine. Entry features sweet grain and candied apricot tastes; the midpalate is mellow, malty, fruity (white raisins, apricots) and sophisticated. Ends on a buttery note...
Cellar/Tasting Notes Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old is a light, heathery single malt with notes of sweet peat smoke, strawberry and beeswax on the nose. The palate is round and smoky, with flavors of honey, mustard, and a hint of citrus fruit.
Cellar/Tasting Notes A 10 year old and the only malt produced on Skye. Its seaweedy, smoky nose and sweet maltiness is perfectly complimented by its spicy, long finish. Talisker is the only distillery on the Isle of Skye. The taste of the whisky reminds you of its place of birth.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The first nosings find clean, apple peel-like and peat-free scents; later inhalations find a more sea breeze like, mildly briny character. Palate entry is lean, earthy, moderately smoky and lemony; midpalate is oily with flavors of ash, peat, sweet malt and brine. Concludes sweet, peaty and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes You can almost taste the sea air in Clynelish, with its crisp, medium- bodied, mustard-fresh style. Although you won't find Islay's powerful smokiness here, there is just a trace of it lingering. The Distiller's Edition has a fruit-cake richness, sweetness, a lovely sherry finish,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Color - Deep gold. Nose - Tendrils of smoke wafting on a sea breeze through a peach orchard. Palate - Smooth and warming, with hint of peat and seaweed, yet medicinal and dry. Finish - Smooth satisfying smoke.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Soy sauce, olive brine, peat, honey, oloroso Sherry, brewer's yeast, bread dough, barley malt and cigar smoke in the bouquet. The flavor that magically includes the innate intense peatiness of Islay malts and the masterly employment of oak barrels phase defines "classy Islay." Concludes..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is one of the oldest Kilchoman releases yet, and gives us a hint of what this distillery's older whiskies may be like in a few years. The nose has a good peatiness with heather and tar, along with hints of seaweed, and has more of a "classic" Islay aroma than many of..

Dear Friends and Family!
Stella was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes on May 27, 2007 -- she was not yet two. That day changed everything.
Fortunately, we've had the love and support of so many people to get us through. To get us through the daily grind of finger pokes and insulin dosing and yet unexplained blood sugars. To get us through the larger issues of dealing with school plans and summer camps and health insurance wrangling. To get us through the fear of complications and the tragic loss of other kids with Type 1 diabetes -- whose deaths are more apparent now because of social media.
This will be our 7th JDRF Walk. And the walks have always been the highpoint of our year. The walks are that point when we visit the well of hope and store up for another year. Truly, these walks fill us with so much happiness -- from seeing Stella walk arm in arm with her buddies, to knowing we are doing something to find a cure, to seeing others who fight this disease sporting their cool t-shirts and huge smiles.
So thank you for supporting us in any way -- from $5 to walking the easy 3K with us. It means more to us than we can adequatley express. And hopefully, you have a wonderful time too! -- Jennifer (Team Captain)

A U.S. District Court judge has ordered the Secret Service to turn over White House visitor logs after Judicial Watch sued to obtain information on Jack Abramoff's comings and goings at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled against the Secret Service on Tuesday, and told it to provide all non-exempt records within 20 days of the court order, according to Judicial Watch. ... Judicial Watch filed a FOIA request on Jan. 20, 2006, with the Secret Service to obtain all White House visitor logs from Jan. 1, 2001, to track when Abramoff entered and exited the White House. The watchdog group said the public deserved to know about Abramoff's activities. After the Secret Service failed to respond completely, Judicial Watch filed lawsuits on Feb. 22, 2006, and April 25, 2006. The Secret Service provided incomplete non-official records, but not everything Judicial Watch was looking for. "The court has obviously had enough of the gamesmanship by the Secret Service," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said today. "We're very pleased with the court's ruling. This is a tremendous victory for transparency in government. In this case we hope the Bush administration stops trying to evade FOIA law."

Photo: Thinkstock You wouldn't drive your car for 5, 10 or 20 years without getting a checkup. So why would you do it to your body? It's crucial to know your body's condition to prevent three of America's biggest killers—heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Here, Dr. Oz shares how to do so with 3 simple tests available through your doctor or pharmacist. Now more than ever, you have the power to detect and fight those diseases, improving your health and maybe even saving your life.
Test 1: A Comprehensive Weight and Fat AssessmentA comprehensive weight and fat assessment is more than just standing on a scale and counting the pounds. This seven-in-one test gives you insight into your overall health by measuring the following: Body Weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), Body Fat Percentage, Body Age, Resting Metabolism, Visceral Fat, and an important measurement that may be new to you, Skeletal Muscle. And while you may assume men are more concerned about muscle mass, knowing your percentage of skeletal muscle is just as crucial for women. In fact, skeletal muscle is the secret key to your body's ability to burn fat over the long term and lose weight. Your doctor can tell you your ideal percentage based on a variety of factors, but generally women should shoot for close to 30 percent, while men should be closer to 35 percent. If your percentage is too low, it's time to ramp up your muscle mass. There are two great ways to build muscle for men and women. First, eat more eggs. One egg contains about 10 percent of your daily protein requirements—vital for building muscle—and is loaded with vitamins A, D and B12, as well as lutein and zeaxanthin. While most people think eggs are high in cholesterol, the amount contained in the yolk is actually negligible. To build even more muscle, add a creatine supplement to your daily shakes and smoothies. Consuming 2 grams of creatine a day while exercising provides your muscles with more energy, allowing them to grow as they're pushed to work harder and longer. Put simply, the more muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn. But you must be engaging in regular, moderate-to-high intensity exercise—otherwise, you could gain weight. Test 2: Blood PressureHeart disease is the number-one killer of women, yet when it comes to blood pressure—a major contributor to heart disease—so many people continue to go unchecked and undiagnosed. Healthy arteries are vital for transporting blood through your heart and to the rest of your body. Above-normal pressure puts too much force on your arteries, and can lead to arterial damage, including weakening, scarring, risk of plaque build-up and blood clots, and overall coronary artery disease. High blood pressure is associated with the development of life-threatening conditions such as stroke, kidney failure, and type 2 diabetes. An ideal blood pressure reading should be 115/75; anything over 140/90 is considered hypertension, while prehypertension is any reading in between. Medicinal and all-natural options exist to lower your blood pressure. Try taking Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10 or ubiquinone. It's an over-the-counter supplement that can help maintain healthy blood vessels. Taking 200 mg per day has been demonstrated in some studies to help reduce blood pressure. You should also add more garlic to your diet. Eating at least 1 clove a day may lower your blood pressure and slow the hardening of the arteries.

The Missing Scene from The Dark Knight Rises
15 comments:
i have a couple of reasons for you.
1) it's been 8 years from dark knight to dark knight rises
2) bane releases the prisoners from blackgate prison, not arkham asylum, while nolan doesn't necessarily follow every single detail of the comics, joker was always ALWAYS locked up in arkham, because he's... you know... nuts.I disagree. This would be a mistake in two ways:
1: It's insulting when a director tries to justify the absence of a main character with a stand in or an off handed remark. It's as if the director is saying to himself "there we are, now everyone will think I removed the character on purpose." The first example that comes to mind is Agent Coulson briefly remarking to Thor that Natalie Portman's character has been relocated for her safety, he might as well have just said "that's why you probably won't see her in this movie."
2: Since everyone knows that Heath Ledger is dead, as soon as we saw him represented by a stand in, CGI, or a combination of the two, we would be pulled out of the otherwise wholly immersive experience that was TDKR. People would stop thinking, "Bane, prisoners, riot," and start thinking "someone that the director thought looked enough like Heath Ledger that he could pass for him in a shadowy room, so long as we only see the shots of him that the director is allowing." The illusion is shattered and we start looking at the movie in parts again, instead of as an experience.
That is at least my take on it. I'm glad that Nolan respected the audience enough to not try to trick them, or feel like he needed to justify anything to them.RepliesI was fine with that line in Avengers. It's a long movie with a lot to go through, I didn't need them to spend 10 minutes on her. It did seem excusatory, but it would've been weirder if they didn't say anything at all.
Most of the people watching the movie are in other countries, and probably mostly don't know that he died. I agree that I'd be taken out of the film for a moment, but only as much as I was when I saw the new, completely different looking Rachel for the first time in The Dark Knight. It would've been worth it.Do you really believe that the rest of the world doesn't know that Ledger died? I'm sorry, but this is a just serious misconception about the speed of information these days — maybe some people in African countries don't know, but they probably won't be seeing "The Dark Knight Rises" anyway.
DeleteYou think People in other countries dont know Lecher died on the Internet era? Americans like you are trully idiots thinking this way. Athens - Greece

Iridium was discovered together with osmium in1803 by Smithson Tennant in London. When crude platinum was dissolved in dilute aqua regia, which is a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids, it left behind a black residue thought to be graphite. Tennant thought otherwise, and by treating it alternately with alkalis and acids he was able to separate it into two new elements. These he announced at the Royal Institution in London, naming one iridium, because its salts were so colourful and the other osmium because it had a curious odour (see osmium).
Despite its seeming intractability, a group of chemists, including the great Humphry Davy, demonstrated in 1813 that iridium would indeed melt like other metals. To achieve this they exposed it to the powerful current generated by a large array of batteries.

Chemistry in its element - Iridium(Promo) You're listening to Chemistry in its element brought to you by Chemistry World, the magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry (End promo) Meera Senthilingam This week a rare, sexy, superhero of an element whose name is a little bit deceiving. Here's Brian Clegg. Brian Clegg There are many reasons to single out an element - in the case of iridium it has to be because it has the sexiest name. It's the sort of name a science fiction writer would give to a new substance that was strong yet beautiful. It's a name that belongs to a superhero of the elements. So how does the real thing live up to the name? It's hard, certainly, a dense silver-white transition metal of the platinum group, looking a bit like polished steel, but not quite as flashy as the name sounds. It's not iridescent itself. Yet its name derives from the same source. When Smithson Tennant, later professor of chemistry at Cambridge, gave it the name in 1804, he was referring to Iris, the Greek rainbow goddess. He said 'I should incline to call this metal iridium, from the striking variety of colours which it gives, while dissolving in marine acid.' (Marine acid is a variant of muriatic acid, one of the old names for hydrochloric acid.) Iridium was originally found as a contaminant (with the element osmium) in platinum, and it was from the solid remnants left when platinum was dissolved in a mix of sulphuric and hydrochloric acids that Tennant made his discovery of both elements. He might equally well have named iridium after its weight - it's more than twice as dense as lead, and with osmium it's one of the two densest of all the elements (there is some dispute over which is the heaviest, though osmium usually gets the laurels). Alternatively, Tennant could have reflected on its extremely high melting point, of nearly 2,500 degrees Celsius. That 'superhero' feel also comes through in iridium's resistance to corrosion. We're used to gold and platinum as the exemplars of metals that stay pure, but iridium fights off corrosion better than either. It was partly for this reason - and the metal's sheer hardness - that iridium was first put to use in alloys to make the tips of fountain pens. Set in gold, these nibs shook off the worst ink and pressure could put on them. To this day you will see fountain pens claiming to have iridium nibs, though in practice it has been replaced by cheaper materials like tungsten. There was only ever a small percentage of iridium in these pens, which is just as well. It's a rare material that makes platinum seem commonplace. There are only about 3 tonnes of iridium produced each year. These days it is more likely to turn up in the central electrode of spark plugs, where its resistance to corrosion and hardness are equally valuable. You'll also find it in specialist parts of industrial machinery. Iridium, with atomic number 77 and two stable isotopes, 191 and 193, turns up in an alloy with platinum in the standard bar and weight used for many years to define the metre and the kilogramme. The metre was originally one 10 millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the Equator in a great circle running through Paris, but this wasn't a practical measure, so a metal bar was set up to define the length, first in pure platinum, and then from 1889 in the platinum/iridium alloy. Now, though, the distance is defined from the speed of light, permanently fixed in 1983 as 299,792,458 metres per second. As the second is accurately defined by an atomic clock, the metre falls out of the calculation. The kilogramme, surprisingly, is still based on the mass of a particular block of platinum/iridium alloy kept in a vault in France, although there is a move for this too to be linked to a more reliable measurement of a natural quantity, such as a fixed number of known atoms. Iridium has also found its way into space, both as a secure container for the plutonium fuel of the nuclear electric generators on long range probes and as a coating on the X-ray mirrors of telescopes like the Chandra X-ray Observatory. But perhaps iridium's best-known claim to fame is as a clue in a piece of 65 million-year-old Crime Scene Investigation. The concentration of iridium in meteorites is considerably higher than in rocks on the Earth, as most of the Earth's iridium is in the molten core. One class of meteorite, called chondritic (meaning they have a granular structure) still has the original levels of iridium that were present when the solar system was formed. In 1980, a team led by physicist Luis Alvarez was investigating the layer of sedimentary clay that was produced around 65 million years ago, a time of particular interest because this so-called K/T boundary between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods marks the point at which the majority of dinosaurs became extinct. This layer contains considerably more iridium that would normally be expected, suggesting that there may have been a large meteor or asteroid strike on the Earth at this time. There is so much iridium present that the asteroid would have to have been around 10 kilometres across - sizeable enough to devastate global weather patterns, bringing about changes in climate that could have wiped out the dinosaurs. It was iridium that provides the principle clue as to why we now believe that so many species were wiped out, leaving the way clear for mammals to take the fore. In one small way, iridium disappoints. Unlike its oxides, the element itself doesn't display the rainbow hues that its name suggests. But that apart, this is a true superhero of an element: tough, practically incorruptible and, yes, extremely dense. Meera Senthilingam So, a rare metal that not only has uses varying from fountain pens to telescopes but also helped us understand the extinction of the dinosaurs. That was Brian Clegg brightening up the Periodic Table with the iridescent tale of Iridium. Now next week a colourful element that likes to shed a tear Claire Carmalt Indium is a soft, malleable metal with a brilliant lustre. The name indium originates from the indigo blue it shows in a spectroscope. Indium has a low melting point for metals and above its melting point it ignites burning with a violet flame. Bizarrely, the pure metal of indium is described as giving a high-pitched "cry" when bent. This is similar to the sound made by tin or the "tin cry", however, neither of them is really much like a cry! Meera Senthilingam And join UCL's Claire Carmalt to find out what tricks, other than crying, Indium has up its sleeve in next week's Chemistry in its Element. Until then I'm Meera Senthilingam from the nakedscientists.com and thank you for listening.
