Beyonce's dad, Mathew Knowles, says "Elevator Brawl" Was Staged
No comments
In a recent radio interview, Beyonce's dad and ex-manager Mathew
Knowles claims the popular elevator brawl between his daughter,
Solange Knowles, and his son-in-law, Jay Z, was staged.
Knowles told The Roula and Ryan Show on 104.1 KRBE in Houston that the
brawl was a "Jedi mind trick" to boost ticket sales for Beyonce's
"I know, because we've done this. From experience, there's a tour
going on. So you sometimes have to ignite that tour," he said. "It's
called a Jedi mind trick. The Jedi mind trick fools you a lot."
Knowles added: "All I know is the Jedi mind trick. Everyone's talking
about it. Ticket sales went up. Solange's album sales went up 200%!"
We believe you. It's all part of "show business".

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Are Finally Married After 9yrs and 6kids
No comments
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have finally tied the knot. And they kept
the nuptials a complete secret until today.
A publicist for the couple, who have been together for 9yrs and have
six children, told the Associated Press that the wedding took place
Saturday in a small chapel on the property of their sprawling
Provencal estate, Chateau Miraval, in France. The nondenominational
civil ceremony was attended by friends and family.
The movie stars, who met filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith (while he was
famously still married to Jennifer Aniston) April 2012 after seven
years of dating.
Pitt was also adamant that he and Jolie would not get married until
their gay friends had similar rights. That hurdle was cleared last
year when the Supreme Court overturned California's Prop 8, which had
outlawed same-sex weddings.
This is the second marriage for Pitt, who was married to Aniston from
2000 to 2005, and the third for Jolie, whose ex-husbands include Jonny
Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.

Post VMA Analysis: Amber Rose "Barely There" Chain Dress
No comments
Amber Rose a.k.a Mrs Wiz Khalifa must be clapping her hands and
jumping for joy after getting back in the news.
30 year old Amber gave a red carpet shock treatment by wearing a chain
dress to tame her wild body ( that must definitely be the reason)
during the MTV VMAs last Sunday.
Wiz doesn't even look like he's there.
Now she's got everyone talking again. Yay!
Oh, all these attention seekers have really perfected their art. SMH

Post VMA Analysis: Body language Expert Says Beyonce and Jay Z's Family Embrace Not Convincing
No comments
'Rumors have been swirling for weeks that the power couple's
relationship has been on the rocks, but at Sunday's MTV Video Music
Awards, they tried to at least present a united front.
As Beyoncé finished her 15-minute set, hubby Jay Z — carrying daughter
Blue Ivy — presented her with the Video Vanguard Award onstage. Queen
Bey said a few words to the crowd, she embraced her family, and then
they headed home. (Hopefully without having to travel in any
To many viewers, the family's appearance felt like something cooked up
in a p.r. boardroom in an attempt to counter the reports of their
imminent split.
Beyoncé seemed to shed tears, but were they tears of joy for her award
or of sadness over the unraveling of her six-year marriage?
"I see a lot of hurt and pain here," says Florida-based body language
expert Susan Constantine. "They're just trying to save face. They feel
no emotions toward each other," adds Constantine, who examined a video
of the appearance as well as a still photo.
The body language expert, who also works as a jury consultant, says
that pictures can sometimes be more telling than videos. Discovering
how someone truly feels is about analyzing their "microexpressions" —
brief, sometimes involuntary movements of the face that betray
"Jay Z and Beyoncé are completely distant, and their minds are on
something else," she says. "Beyoncé feels really uncomfortable."
Even 2-year-old Blue Ivy might be trying to tell us something.
"I see this sense of sadness. It's almost like Beyoncé is looking at
her going, 'It's OK,' " Constantine says. "And the baby is saying,
'This doesn't seem right.' Children are very perceptive."
Of course, that uneasiness on the baby's part might just be about
appearing on a stage in front of thousands of screaming fans.
But peep the photo in question and see what the expert had to say about it all:
Beyoncé's face
"She's giving a false smile," Constantine says. If she were really
happy, her eyebrows would be lifted and her eyes would be more open.
Jay Z's face
"This is what we call a flat face," Constantine says. "There's no
expression whatsoever." Happiness would be indicated by upturned
corners of the mouth. But he's less strained than Beyoncé.
"Neither one of them is looking at each other," says body language
expert Susan Constantine. "Their interest is more in their daughter."
Beyoncé's hand over midsection
She's blocking her stomach area — the home of emotions in the body —
indicating a feeling of vulnerability. Were she feeling comfortable,
she'd expose her midsection.
Beyoncé's hip
Her hips are angled away from her husband, indicating disassociation.
"In other [older] photos, you see Beyoncé leaning into her husband,"
Constantine says.
Blue Ivy
Her hands are clasped in a prayer-like way. Happiness would be
indicated by raised arms and an extended body. Instead, she's making
herself small. "Maybe she's praying her parents get back together,"
Constantine says.'
But seriously, I don't think there has ever been anything REAL about
these people.

Cameroonian player dies in Algeria after being hit by object from crowd
No comments
Cameroonian footballer Albert Ebosse has died after being hit by an
object thrown by fans at a game in Algeria.
Ebosse, who was 24, was declared dead after being taken to hospital in
Tizi Ouzou, east of the capital Algiers.
The JS Kabylie striker was hit when spectators started throwing
objects from the stands as the teams left the pitch at full-time.
Ebosse was the leading scorer in the Algerian league in the 2013-14
season, with 17 goals.
It has not been confirmed what hit him, but one Algerian newspaper
reported that home fans, angry at their team's defeat, were throwing
A statement from Ebosse's club said he had "succumbed to a head
injury" after being struck at the end of the match.
A special meeting of the Algerian league (LFP) has been convened for
Monday morning and the stadium has been closed until further notice.

Chris Brown Responds To Suge Knight Being Shot at His Pre-MVA Party
No comments
Death Row Records founder and rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight was
injured in an early morning shooting Sunday in a packed nightclub but
was expected to survive, a Los Angeles County sheriff's sergeant said.
Knight was one of three club patrons struck by gunfire around 1:30
a.m. at 1OAK on West Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard, said Sgt. C. Tatar,
watch commander at the Los Angeles County sheriff's West Hollywood
Two other victims, a man and a woman, were also being treated at local
hospitals and were expected to survive.
Authorities are still seeking a suspect and declined to release
additional information, citing the ongoing investigation.
The shooting came just hours before MTV's Video Music Awards, which
are slated for Sunday evening in Inglewood. R&B singer Chris Brown,
who was co-hosting a party at the nightclub with Pia Mia, was also
inside the club but not hit by the gunfire, Tatar said.
MTV said it had no affiliation or connection to the event.
While he didn't mention the shooting directly, Brown seemed to refer
to it on Twitter.
"It's disappointing that we as a society can't have fun or enjoy
ourselves without any altercations sometimes. Miss me with the
bulls---!!!," Brown tweeted.
Knight has been shot before. In 2005, he was struck in the leg during
an MTV awards pre-party in Miami Beach.

British Rapper Suspected to be Masked Man That Be-headed American Journalist, James Foley
No comments
A British rapper, L jinny, has been fingered as the prime suspect in
the be-heading of US Journalist, James Foley.
Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary — who recently tweeted a photo of himself
holding up a severed head — was among three Brits identified as
possibly being the masked killer known as "John the Beatle."
Bary, 24, is the son of an Egyptian-born militant who is awaiting
trial on terror charges tied to the deadly 1998 bombings of embassies
in Kenya and Tanzania.
Also under investigation are the brother of a British doctor once
charged with kidnapping two Western war correspondents, and a former
gang member who converted to Islam and traveled to Syria,
Britain'sTelegraph newspaper reported.
Reportedly, Bary is from West London and used to go by the name L
Jinny, and even got play on BBC Radio 1. However, last year he left
London and moved to Syria after becoming "radicalized" by the
teachings of Anjem Choudary.
Bary is one of the three British expats turned jihadists referred to
as "The Beatles" due to their British accents.
Foley was kidnapped in Syria on Thanksgiving 2012 while working for
the GlobalPost agency.
He was taken hostage at gunpoint by militants from the group Jabhat al
Nusra while reporting from Taftanaz, northern Syria.
Disturbing footage of his execution appeared on YouTube last week in a
video titled 'A message to the US', in which an apparently coerced
Foley, 40, recites a pre-prepared script presumably given to him by
his captors which he delivers unflinchingly to the camera.
Foley also leaves a haunting message for his brother, John, who he is
heard to say is either a past or serving member of the US Air Force.
Referring to airstrikes launched nearly two weeks ago in Iraq, Foley
says: 'I died that day, John, when your colleagues dropped that bomb
on these people. They signed my death certificate'.

Boxing champion, Floyd Mayweather, wants you to know that he doesn't
care what you think about his reading skills...
I mean why should you when he doesn't?

page to "express himself".
He uploaded two checks with the figures circled with a red marker and
dropped the comment:
"Read this $72,276,000.00, God bless."

Iggy Azalea Tumbles off Stage During VMA Benefit Concert
No comments
Iggy Azalea tumbled off the stage during an MTV Video Music Awards
benefit concert, but she appeared unharmed and posted a video of the
fall on social media.
The Australian rapper fell Friday night while performing her hit
"Fancy" at The Avalon in Los Angeles. Security guards quickly pulled
Azalea back onto the stage, and she barely missed a beat as Charli XCX
joined her for the chart-topping single.
Afterward, Azalea told the crowd she felt "very blessed" that she did
not break her legs. There was no immediate word if she was injured.
Azalea appeared in good spirits, posting a video of the fall on
Instagram. She wrote in the caption: "I know I laughed."

The Weight-loss Myths You Thought Were True
By Jim Karas
Special Offers
5. Strength-and-resistance exercise doesn't benefit your heart, only cardiovascular exercise does.
This statement has been proven false. New research from the Archives of Internal Medicine shows that strength training can increase aerobic capacity. You can derive similar benefits from both strength training and cardiovascular exercise. Plus you boost your metabolism 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
6. I'll lose flexibility if I perform strength-and-resistance exercises.
Not true. Proper strength-and-resistance training can actually improve muscular balance and flexibility. A recent study from the International Journal of Sports Medicine showed that formerly sedentary individuals who participated in resistance exercises showed an increase in flexibility. This occurs because of a concept called reciprocal inhibition. In lay terms, it means that when you contract, for example, the bicep muscle in the front of the arm, the tricep muscle at the back of the arm has to relax, elongate and stretch out. Basically, when you contract one muscle, you stretch the opposing one. This clearly will improve flexibility over time.
7. This type of program will take a long time to achieve results.
Fact is, you can see results in as little as four weeks by coupling effective strength-and-resistance exercises two to three times a week with a low-calorie eating plan. The reason this occurs so quickly is that the moment you start challenging your muscles, they will respond.
8. I'm already too muscular.
From my experience, most people are not too muscular, they're simply carrying too much body fat. A woman may feel that she is muscular because her thighs are large but firm. Actually, her thighs are carrying a high percentage of body fat, not muscle. After age 20, the average person loses between one half to seven tenths of a pound of muscle each year. As a woman approaches menopause, her rate of muscle loss doubles. As all individuals reach age 70, they begin to lose a full three pounds of muscle each year. That's over 30 pounds in a decade!
What do I do when the Slim-Down Program ends?
At this point, your 4-Week Slim-Down Plan is coming to an end. If you followed my advice and nutritionist Janis Jibrin's, you should already be seeing and feeling a difference in your body. Now, make these four weeks your launch. Think of yourself as a plane that just charged down the runway and took off. To stay in the air, and stay in the weight-loss game, keep a close eye on your course. Sure, you're going to hit some turbulence along the way, but that's the secret to successful weight loss. Just keep exercising, keep progressing your plan and most of all, keep believing that strength-and-resistance exercise is the key to long-term weight loss. Good luck!

Palo Alto set to swear in new mayor, vice mayor
Original post made on Jan 7, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Monday, January 7, 2013, 9:31 AM
on Jan 7, 2013 at 12:11 pm
I have always wondered why Greg Schmidt was not urged to serve as vice-mayor and then as mayor in the natural order of his service. Three much younger--in terms os age and experience--leapfrogged over him. Does anyone know why or how?
on Jan 7, 2013 at 3:28 pm
Is there anywhere else in this land where the mayor change annually? Seems pointless and wasteful, as well as ineffectual in general.
on Jan 7, 2013 at 10:07 pm
Somebody answer me please. Why we the citizens of Palo Alto don't elect our Mayors like other cities do?

We had three best bets during Week 8 of the NFL betting season and all were small road favorites. Two of them already came around with ease (Detroit 45-10 at Denver as a three point chalk and Cincinnati 34-12 at Seattle as one point chalk) and the third one should be cashed by midnight on Monday Night Football.
San Diego comes off a loss at the Jets and gets a game it can easily here against a division foe. The Chargers opened as 3.5-point chalk and the number has stayed around -3 all week. One shop is daring you to pick the Chiefs by offering +3.5 as of Monday afternoon. [ Full Chargers vs Chiefs matchup report ]
The Chiefs come off an impressive 28-0 win over Oakland last week and barely lost to San Diego in Week (20-17) as huge 14-point road dogs. Has enough changed to make KC a legitimate threat to cover the spread here in Week 8?
Well, they have lost 7 of 8 to the Chargers, but at home, they have been moneymakers against their AFC West foes. In 14 home games, the Chiefs are 9-4-1 ATS past 14 vs the Chargers. KC has also been tough as a small underdog, going 7-1 ATS past 8 as a pup of 4 points or less.
And while there is no discernible trend on the total (which sat at 44.5 midday Monday) in these meetings, San Diego has been a reliable OVER bet recently on the road (OVER is 8-1-1 past 10 SD road games).
As always, Monday Night props are a big part of the NFL odds menu with dozens of fantasy football style lines for your amusement (and profit potential).

Imagine a naked teenager appearing in your living room -- or stealing your car. That's what happened on a normally quiet block in north Hudson on Saturday.
Bill Shirley has lived on St. Croix Street for 50 years and thought he had seen it all -- but on Saturday he saw more than he wanted to.
"Think its tough in the cities? It can be just as nasty around here," he said. "Can be -- even on a street like this."
No one was seriously hurt in the spree of oddity, and police told FOX 9 News the young man has no mental health history. According to officers, he was celebrating his 17th birthday when things suddenly got strange.
Kelsey Knudson took a picture of where the 17-year-old birthday boy peeled off his pants and shirt -- even his underwear, until he was left in his birthday suit. After dropping off his clothes, he turned and headed to his neighbor's home.
"Came bustin' through the door," Knudson recalled. "Standing there, completely out of it -- didn't know what he was doing."
At first, Knudson thought it was a prank -- but with his baby son in the room, he wasn't going to take any chances.
"Grabbed him by the neck and forcefully shoved him out the door," Knudson recalled.
That's when things got even weirder. After Knudson kicked him out of the house, the teen ran half-way down the street and ran into another home. When the dog started barking and the homeowner screamed, he dove -- still naked -- out the window and took off down the street again.
Next, the teen found a Lincoln Navigator with the keys inside. Though the owner tried to block him, the teen revved the engine and took off. Though he was going fast, he didn't get far. He wiped out making a turn near where he started, and was arrested by police shortly thereafter.
Officers transported the teen to a hospital to treat some minor cuts, but officers won't know if drugs or alcohol were involved until blood tests come back.
The 17-year-old was back at school on Wednesday, and teachers and students told FOX 9 News he's a good kid who may have made some bad choices.

Well a couple ol boys cross the Mason Dixon line came down Sunday. Of course the dog patrol had wind of them when they crossed the Blue Ridge mountains, barked for 3 hours. When they showed up I saw they was friendly, so I put the dogs up. Wind was blowing like all get out. But with a little help from my good neighbors we got the trans out and loaded up in Yogie's pickup. We had a right good little talk and I showed him round a bit.
But They had a way to go and had to leave, so the socializing was cut a bit short. I did enjoy meeting him and his brother.

Appeal for Shelf van hijack witnesses

Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses after a man's van was hijacked in Shelf.
The robbery took place at Shelf Moor, Shelf, at 6.40am on Monday.
The victim was clearing ice from his windscreen and loading his van for work when he was pushed over from behind.
The suspect then jumped into the vehicle and drove off down Shelf Moor Road.
Police said the van was driven towards Bradford and struck an ANPR camera in Rooley Lane shortly after.
The vehicle is a maroon Ford Transit, registration M111 CYC. The suspect was male, wearing dark clothing and a dark hat with flaps over the ears.
The victim suffered a slight injury to his thumb. He is offering a £500 reward if the vehicle is returned in the same condition.
Witnesses or anyone with information should call Detective Sergeant Terry O'Keeffe on (01422) 337029, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

They're not charming or sexy. The undead members that make up The Reformed Vampire Support Group, by Australian author Catherine Jinks, are bored, apathetic, unattractive whiners prone to headaches, eye bleeds and nausea. Rather than spread their "infection" among more of the living, they curb their addiction and sustain themselves with specially bred guinea pigs (easy to clean up and dispose of) and supplements.
Narrator and Sydney native Nina used to be a party girl until she was fanged 51 years ago at the age of 15. Now she spends her time holed up in her faded bedroom, writing romanticized novels of vampire super-heroine Zadia Bloodstone. Former musician Dave, physician Sanford, arthritic Gladys, Internet scammer Horace and the rest of the motley group pick up odd jobs when they can (a vampire still has to pay the rent). Even their Tuesday night, AA-like support group has become mundane until fellow member Casimir (directly and indirectly responsible for most of the group's fangings) turns up staked in his coffin.
Now the ragtag bunch must really support each other, as they solve the mystery of Casimir's killer and protect themselves from a potential vampire slayer. They receive more help from Nina's elderly chain-smoking mother, idealistic Father Ramon and unlikely strays they meet along the way. Because vampires are dead to the world during the day (literally and figuratively), these humans are needed to take care of daytime necessities and fill in the gaps of Nina's narrative.
Through the adventurous twists and turns of saving herself from vampire haters, Nina discovers justice, friendship and maybe even romance. She begins to emerge from the depression, lethargy and victimization of vampirism (also symptoms of adolescence) to find life (er, death) worth living. With this budding heroine in her own right at the forefront, this ensemble of eccentric characters gives a wry spin to the ever-popular vampire tale.
As a child, Angela Leeper slept with a blanket around her neck to ward off vampires.Copyright 2009 BookPage Reviews.
Jinks's signature facility with plot and character development is intact as she turns to the topic of vampires--as fans can anticipate, hers are not the romantic superheroes of the Stephenie Meyers books. Hers are a ragtag bunch: anemic, whiny, unattractive, they feed on guinea pigs (because they're small, "their drained cadavers can be concealed without much effort," and they breed quickly), and they turn for support to an idealistic priest. Nina, the narrator, is in her 50s, but was "infected" at 15 and chafes at being treated like an adolescent; she writes a sensational vampire series with a seductive, powerful heroine totally unlike herself, giving Jinks opportunity for comic contrasts. Throwing in delicious details and aperus, the author works her way from the murder of one of the vampires to suspense and adventure of the sinister yet daffy variety beloved by readers of Evil Genius. The plot twists, more ornate than in previous works, ramp up the giddiness--and, perhaps, camouflage the corpses, blood and other byproducts of the genre. Ages 12-up. (Apr.)[Page 120]. Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
Gr 7 Up--Nina Harrison has been 15 years old since 1973. That's because she is a vampire. She and the members of the Reformed Vampire Support Group break the mold when compared to the accepted vampire lore that has been around since the time of Count Dracula. They are not beautiful, strong, powerful, rich, or in control. Instead they are sickly, struggling just to stay alive, living on the blood of the guinea pigs they keep, and making the best of their affliction. They have vowed not to drink human blood or be responsible for the creation of another vampire. Nina hates her boring, uneventful life, which changes drastically when Casimir is staked and the group, realizing that the killer knows who and where they are, all move in with Nina and her mother, a nonvampire. With only a silver bullet as a clue to track the vampire slayer, Nina, Dave, and Father Ramon, who sponsors the group, set out on a dangerous journey. Along the way they rescue a werewolf from an illegal fight ring, deal with a villainous father/son team, and discover that their immortal lives might have more to offer than they ever thought. Support Group is truly like no other vampire story. It is witty, cunning, and humorous, with numerous plot twists and turns. Jinks has conjured up an eccentric but believable cast of characters in a story full of action and adventure.--Donna Rosenblum, Floral Park Memorial High School, NY[Page 145].

The Texas Speleological Survey (TSS) is a non-profit corporation established in
1961 to collect, organize, and maintain information on Texas caves and karst. We
make that information generally available for scientific, educational, and
conservation purposes, and to support safe and responsible cave exploration. We
are affiliated with the Texas Memorial Museum, the Texas Speleological
Association, and the National Speleological Society.
This web site is provided to first give an overview about
the caves and karst of Texas, their scientific and educational value, and
how you can learn more information about Texas caves, cave exploration,
and the TSS. The second purpose of this web site is to provide you a
convenient means of submitting information on Texas caves. This can be for
either previously unreported caves or new information about known caves,
and can be done through our on-line cave and karst feature report form.
The value of the TSS database is directly related to how much information
is contributed to the files. We collect as much as we can, but can't do it
all without your help.
Feel free to look around our web site. We hope you find it
both useful and educational. If you have questions, suggestions, or would
like to participate in TSS activities, please

K2 Shreditor 102 (2014)
The narrowest of the new Shreditor series is designed to offer the same loose-feeling performance the Shreditors 112 and 120 do but in a more versatile waist width. It's playful and so very maneuverable ("I had a tree-ski-gasm," said one tester), but that doesn't mean it lacks carving skill. Its tail is only six millimeters narrower than its tip, which makes for clean, round arcs of nearly any size, and its massive sweet spot is surprisingly energetic. "Latent power—call on it when you need it."
Skiing's Notes:
The narrowest of the new Shreditor series skis is designed to offer the loose, smeary powder performance of the 112 and 120, but on a more versatile 102-mm waist better suited to non-powder conditions. It's a metal-free wood-core (fir/aspen) construction. K2's TwinTech sidewalls are beveled inward at the top to protect them from damage caused by the other ski's edge. With its Bi-Directional Taper shape, the tip is only slightly wider than the tail, so its effective sidecut radius isn't drastically different going backward than it is going forward. K2's All-Terrain Rocker combines 70 percent camber with 30 percent tip/shovel rocker to smooth the ride, enhance forgiveness and improve soft-snow flotation. The tip is tapered so it's loose and smeary in deep snow, with reduced swing weight. K2 splits its six-model Freeride collection into two groups: Directional (the new Annex models) and Bi-Directional (the new Shreditor models). The Shreditor models are intended to be more playful and jib-inspired. They range in width from 102 mm up to 120 mm. All Shreditor models are torsion-box constructions. (The core is sheathed in a "triaxially braided" sock of fiberglass, with tri-directional fibers aligned for optimal lateral, longitudinal and torsional rigidity.) All Freeride series models come equipped with tip and tail grommets that accept K2 climbing skins for backcountry touring.

We're in the thick of the Oscar race now. In this week's Oscar Talk podcast, In Contention's Kris Tapley and Guy Lodge and I discuss the real contest between Annette Bening and Natalie Portman, whether Melissa Leo's glam ads are opening up the field in supporting actress, and how the Nominees Lunch and the upcoming BAFTAs on Sunday give us a sense of where the races are tipping.
immature | February 13, 2011 3:44 AM
NP certainly did not lose it at the reporter. His/her question was inappropriate and she let him know it. This will certainly not hurt her in the race.
XiMan | February 12, 2011 7:07 AM
I understand the love Anne feels for Annette...but c'mon.
Natalie didn't snap at the reporters. And even if it was a small rebuke, she's pregnant!
At the end of the day, her performance is the best of any actor (male or female) this year. And she will win.
GL | February 11, 2011 5:54 AM
I love this blog. Interesting Podcast. Agree 100% percent with the Supporting Actress category, Leo blew it and now if Steinfeld is smart (I mean her PR team) then she should go for it. As an audience member I am turned off by what she did. I mean I loved her performance in "The Fighter" but when I saw her face and the way she posed and how she is wearing fur. It just looks cheap, unclassy, uncharacteristic, and with a fellow nominee such as Amy Adams who has been nominated more times than she has, not cool.

Let's face it—the most Naturally N'Awlins dressing in this city at holiday time is—and has always been—oyster dressing. But this year, to give a trusty ol' standard a little pizzazz, I'm recommending that you pile the dressing into toasty, beautifully browned, pastry shells. . .almost like little tarts. All you need to do is follow my recipe to the letter and you got yourself one truly delectable Franksgiving treat!
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cups finely chopped onions
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
2 heaping teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1/3 cup thinly sliced green-onion tops
1 quart chopped Louisiana oysters plus liquor
1 teaspoon Frank Davis Poultry Seasoning
1 teaspoon Frank Davis Seafood Seasoning
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon black pepper, coarse ground
1 pinch thyme
1-½ teaspoon sea salt, if needed
3-4 cups broken stale French bread
1 whole egg, lightly beaten
12 large puff pastry shells, pre-baked
1 cup buttered Panko breadcrumbs
In a large, black, cast iron Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the onions, celery, parsley, bell pepper, garlic, and green-onion tops until all of them are wilted and tender. The one thing to remember, though, is to keep the butter hot but don't let it burn. Keep stirring the mixture so that it cooks uniformly.

Protecting NIH Funding
On March 1, the sequester cuts went into effect. As a result, the NIH's budget was slashed by 5.1 percent – a total of $1.5 billion. This dramatic decrease is likely to trigger a loss of more than 20,500 jobs across the United States and reduce new economic activity by $3 billion. But more importantly, it will mean fewer life-saving treatments and cures for Americans with cardiovascular disease. Over the past several months, the association and its volunteers have strongly urged Congress to restore NIH funding.
Following a three-week shutdown in October, Congress reopened the federal government and requested a budget agreement by December that would extend the "Continuing Resolution" until January 15. In early December, a proposed budget deal was announced by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.). The legislation was approved by both houses of Congress and signed by President Obama just before the holiday recess.
The budget bill replaced about half of the overall cuts made by the sequester. The Senate and House Appropriations Committee must decide by January 15 which domestic programs will receive the additional funding. The association has urged the committee members to allocate $31 billion of the funds available to replace the extremely harmful sequester cuts imposed on the NIH.
An American Heart Association publication, "Sequester Stories" highlights the impact the sequester budget cuts are having on heart and stroke research.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Milan is notoriously regarded as a difficult city for new models. But it's not hard to see why big-name labels like Versace and Gucci prefer to cast established catwalkers like Joan Smalls, Karlie Kloss, and Karmen Pedaru: Veterans simply know how to carry sexy clothes. That said, many of the rookies we've had our eyes on since the beginning of the season have proven that they can strut toe-to-toe with the big girls. Chiharu Okunugi, Sam Rollinson, Sasha Luss, and Katya Riabinkina, in particular, seem to be at the top of most casting directors' lists this season. We're also going to add Manuela Frey, a Spring '13 Saint Laurent exclusive who opened Calvin Klein in New York and did turns at Dolce & Gabbana, Bottega Veneta, and Emilio Pucci in Italy. She's kept up the momentum so far in Paris, with appearances at Dries Van Noten, Rochas, and Damir Doma.
Perhaps the best way to evaluate Milan's crop of newcomers is to compare two of the week's most hyped shows: Prada, which is cast by Ashley Brokaw, and Jil Sander, which is cast by Maida & Rami. Both are characteristically chock-full of unknowns, but there was more of an overlap than usual this season. Girls who walked both include past Balenciaga exclusives Juliane Gruner and Kirstin Kragh Liljegren (who actually opened Balenciaga last season). At Prada, they were sandwiched in between well-known faces such as Mariacarla Boscono, Liisa Winkler, Adriana Lima, Kirsten Owen, Jessica Stam, Iselin Steiro, and Esther de Jong (easily one of our favorite casts thus far), as well as a few more novices like Maartje Verhoef (above, left), Elise Smidt, and Jessa Brown, who also did Sander. As we move into the Paris shows, we'll have our eyes peeled for these girls and a few others, including Amanda Murphy (above, right), who bookended Prada after opening Proenza Schouler, and then followed that up with appearances at Dries Van Noten and H&M today.
Speaking of, H&M turned out a cast of heavy hitters (you can chalk that up to a mega-budget and George Cortina's styling), including Arizona Muse, Cara Delevingne, Daphne Groeneveld, Delfine Bafort, Edita Vilkeviciute, Isabeli Fontana, Joan Smalls, and closer Malgosia Bela.

The history and the colorful characters who have made Eureka Springs their home throughout the ages come alive through interactive storytelling.
We visit sites that are untouchable to the ordinary visitor including behind the scenes and on the stage of the City auditorium where the likes of Willie Nelson, BB King and Ray Charles performed.
Then take a brave step into the unexplained underground buildings that lie under the streets and try to figure out the mystery for yourself! Go under the city where Bill Doolin of the Dalton gang was captured in the Underground City of Eureka Springs
The tour is mildly adventourous - good for the whole family. Wear good walking shoes as you travel up and down through history exploring all the landscape has to offer. This is your chance to see Eureka Springs in a way that even local residents haven't seen! Unlock the past through an exciting adventure!
Adults: $12

Tickets are available half hour before the tour starts in Basin Spring Park at the kiosk or at the the Basin Park Hotel.
Many a character have enhanced the Eureka Springs landscape and this 45 minute walking tour tells you all about them! We bring out the "Stars" of the town over time, share the strange happenings, and clue you into the legends that we live with.
Fun for the whole family, we share the towns heated founding, the Ripley's Believe it or Not stories, and explore the downtown exposing the delights and dastardly deeds. You can stand in the spot that Carry Nation gave her last speech, where one of the Doolin-Dalton Gang was caught by US Marshalls, and indian maidens were healed in the springs. We view caves where Eureka Springs water was collected or civil war soldiers from both sides were brought to heal.
Mildly strenuous, we require good walking shoes and a wilder imagination!

I have a school group, can I book the tour at a special time?

Will it smell like sulfer?
There are no odd smells from any of the three undergrounds that you venture through.
Is the tour handicap accessable?
No, it is a walking tour that has many stairs - there are sections that you can bow out of, but the walking is pretty extensive.

16 oz. British style pint purchased at the brewery, unknown creation date, drank over 30 most fantastic minutes
A: 3/3 - yellow-orange coloration, impressive clarity (can both read and see through), received with subtle glass lacing, small alcohol legs
S: 9/10 - lots of tropical fruit - pineapple, mango, papaya, but also picking up on pine resiny aroma pouring out of the glass; very little malt on the nose
T: 17/20 - on the front of the tongue, there is a mild tropical hop bitterness that quickly succumbs to pungent pine predominance (surprisingly for Galaxy but I would guess that there are PW dank hops in the mix); on the middle of the mouth, the hops continue to assault, which some minor malt balancing; little detectable alcohol; dry aftertaste --> awesome session IPA here!
M: 4/5 - little think but expected for the low ABV; low carbonation really accentuates the hops; low alcohol notes
O: 9/10 - I came for Orange Whip but got one of huge best session IPAs/aromatic APAs that I have ever tried; absolutely incredible dank hop aroma with high drinkability is rare as a full-figured supermodel; I could drink the fuck out of this, which totally satisfies this hophead; and, for $4.25/pint, this is highly recommended!

3.56/5 rDev -13.6%
A: fairly translucent dirty golden, maybe an orange hue in there as well . Larger soapy bubble edge the top of the pour
S: orange-candy maltiness, with some wet carboard background
T/M: this taste reminds me of their Orange Whip. Orange flavors on top of a bitter grapefruit taste. Carbonation is good. The longer taste is a little earthy, with a slightly grassy lingering feel.
O: not like I recalled from the last time I tasted, disappointingly so. As stated, it seems to be a similar recipe to another of their beers. This one is a little lighter in ABV, and does have a slight feel of a session ale.
That all said, it is a decently tasty session IPA, and probably a good "entry-level" IPA. If I were to consider it as such, I would likely go up a rating notch on feel, overall, and maybe taste.

No Orange Whip when I stopped in, so this is what I got instead.
Strong pine and citrus on the nose of this one. Flavor carries much of the same with a salty edge on there also. This one has some bite. Strong resin character on it too. A sipper more so than anything else.

nonic pint at the brewpub
a: served in a nonic pint, this ipa is a clear golden in color, topped with a dense white head that shows quality retention and some lace
s: superb tropical hop nose of sweet grapefruit, orange, passionfruit, and mango; juicy and vivid, really dig the use of pilsner and pale malts here - it's very clean and allows the hops to come through full force
m: body a lighter medium, carbonated to a low-moderate level of small, smooth bubbles
t: crisp, clean pils malt and slightly sweet, bready pale sets a clean, easily drinkable structure for the same tropical fruit flavors found on the nose, still juicy and fresh, spicy mango and passionfruit really stand out with a lingering bitter grapefruit rind finish, great
o: really enjoyed this one, the hops are awesome, and great use of pale and pils to create a clean, fantastically drinkable base - cleanly malted ipas almost always sit well with me
scores 7/12/13: 4/4/4/4/4 Very pleasant, tropical and citrus galaxy character, fresh and vivid, but the malts just aren't in position to lift this one to the next level. They do provide adequate support, but nothing more, coming across a little bland. Still, very nice ipa.

32 oz growler filled 7/16/13, sampled 7/21/13 into a port glass. Pear juice color with a half finger of white head that reduces to a sticky ring on the edges of the glass with nice lacing.
Deceptive appearance regarding the carbonation as it looks almost flat, but a swirl of the glass brings about some bubbles nicely.
The galaxy hops are in the spotlight, with a crisp and fruity/citrus aroma drawing you into the first sip.Nothing aggressive or overpowering in the nose, and the malt presence is nearly nonexistent. The dry hopping with galaxy really steps up the aroma.
Taste is also crisp and fruity,slightly tangy with a snappy dry finish. A really nice AIPA flavor that highlights the galaxy hop quite well with the citra hop playing second fiddle. A pleasant bitterness remains center palate before fading into a typical yeasty,crackery session ale fashion.
Mouthfeel leans toward the light side, maybe even a tad thin, and seems more typical of a session ale style not uncommon to 5%+- IPAs.
Sampling Dingo on the heels of enjoying Mad Fox's Orange Whip the night before made for
a tough act to follow. Dingo is a hop forward tropical tasting AIPA that is quite tasty, refreshing, and definitely recommended. If not for the relative thinness of the body & overall feel, it would be world class all the way.

Tiny Singapore imports almost all of its food. From gardens on deserted car parks to vertical farms in the vanishing countryside, a movement is afoot to help boost its agricultural production.
I am glad that the future of food is being discussed, and thought about, on farms, in homes, on TV, online and in magazines, especially of The New Yorker's caliber. The New Yorker has held its content and readership in high regard for so long. The challenge of feeding a growing population with the added obstacle of climate change is an important issue. Specter's piece, however, is poor journalism. I wonder why a journalist who has been Bureau Chief in Moscow for The New York Times and Bureau Chief in New York for the Washington Post, and clearly is an experienced reporter, would submit such a misleading piece. Or why The New Yorker would allow it to be published as honest reporting, with so many fraudulent assertions and deliberate attempts to skew reality. 'Seeds of Doubt' contains many lies and inaccuracies that range from the mundane (we never met in a café but in the lobby of my hotel where I had just arrived from India to attend a High Level Round Table for the post 2015 SDGs of the UN) to grave fallacies that affect people's lives. The piece has now become fodder for the social media supporting the Biotech Industry. Could it be that rather than serious journalism, the article was intended as a means to strengthen the biotechnology industry's push to 'engage consumers'? Although creative license is part of the art of writing, Michael Specter cleverly takes it to another level, by assuming a very clear position without spelling it out.

"This paper considers the following question—where do computers, laptops and mobile phones come from and who produced them? Specific cases of digital labour are examined—the extraction of minerals in African mines under slave-like conditions; ICT manufacturing and assemblage in China (Foxconn); software engineering in India; call centre service work; software engineering at Google within Silicon Valley; and the digital labour of internet prosumers/users. Empirical data and empirical studies concerning these cases are systematically analysed and theoretically interpreted. The theoretical interpretations are grounded in Marxist political economy. The term 'global value chain' is criticised in favour of a complex and multidimensional understanding of Marx's 'mode of production' for the purposes of conceptualizing digital labour. This kind of labour is transnational and involves various modes of production, relations of production and organisational forms (in the context of the productive forces). There is a complex global division of digital labour that connects and articulates various forms of productive forces, exploitation, modes of production, and variations within the dominant capitalist mode of production."

Elkhart County is set to be home to two business expansions that will create up to 135 manufacturing jobs in New Paris and Middlebury.
The announcements were made Friday.
Officials with Smart LLC, doing business as Smart Cabinetry, a "green" kitchen cabinet manufacturer, announced plans to expand operations locally, creating up to 75 new jobs by 2016.
The company plans to invest $11.4 million to renovate and equip its current 169,000-square-foot facility in New Paris. As part of the project, Smart will add new kitchen cabinet manufacturing, finishing and assembly lines by 2015.
Officials with Indiana Galvanizing, a steel parts galvanizing manufacturer, announced they will invest $3 million to purchase, renovate and equip a Middlebury facility, adding up to 60 new jobs.
"Again today, two great companies have chosen Indiana, and specifically Elkhart County, over all other options," said Gov. Mitch Daniels. "Our pro-growth business climate and skilled workforce continue to give us a competitive advantage, and we have no plans of slowing down."
Established in 2004, Smart manufactures entry-level kitchen cabinets used in multi-unit buildings, including apartment, condominium, hospitality, assisted living and senior living complexes. Distributed to more than 400 retailers, distributors and wholesalers nationwide, Smart's cabinets are designed to be environmentally friendly, according to company officials.
"With markets getting stronger and our nations outlook brighter, Smart believes its growth in market share will continue but is only facilitated and achievable by an excellent available labor force and Indiana's business-friendly environment, which when combined gives us the confidence to make the commitment to move," said Kirk Barron, president and chief operating officer of Smart. "We look forward to working with both state and local governments to create jobs and continue the momentum we started three years ago."
The Indiana Economic Development Corp. offered Smart LLC up to $600,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $100,000 in training grants based on the company's job creation plans. Elkhart County will consider additional tax abatement at the request of the Economic Development Corporation of Elkhart County.
Smart, which currently has more than 100 Indiana employees, will continue to hire new manufacturing, engineering, administrative and information technology associates on an ongoing basis, company officials said.
"Every company that expands and invests here strengthens Elkhart County," said David Foutz, a member of the Elkhart County Council. "Smart's announcement of expansion and creation of new jobs is a welcome one in our community and we look forward to more news like this in our county and in our state in the future."
