BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - In the midst of jury selection, a Baton
Rouge man has pleaded guilty in a 2006 shooting death of a server
at a restaurant.
Tracy Young, 33, admitted Friday to fatally shooting Aaron
Arnold, an Oliver Garden restaurant server. In exchange for
pleading guilty, Young will receive a life sentence. He had been
facing a possible death sentence. The Baton Rouge Advocate
newspaper reports that he entered the guilty plea on the fifth day
of jury selection in his trial.
East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III said
he would seek a life sentence for Young's convicted accomplice, who
was sentenced to death in in 2008. Moore said he plans to make that
offer to Sanchez Brumfield's lawyers.

What is a High Brightness Projector?
A High Brightness projector is DP's standard configuration of the projector when it is built. There is no aperture installed in the light path within the projector's optics, or within the lens.
Where do you use High Brightness Projectors?
A major perk to a High Brightness projector is that it can be used in most applications, and delivers maximum lumens to tackle larger screens or venues with ambient light. Here are a few recommendations on appropriate uses for a High Brightness projector:
• Applications with ambient light
• Applications with larger screens sizes, where a lower lumen projector will not provide adequate screen brightness
• Applications that demand specific screen brightness levels to be achieved
Note: Screen brightness is determined by size of the image, gain of the screen surface and light output of the projector. Throw distance and lens throw ratio do not determine brightness
• Applications with extreme screen sizes or large audiences - true large venue
• Conference rooms and residential media rooms – most of these venues include some level of ambient light
What is a High Contrast Projector?
A High Contrast projector is created by adding a custom engineered aperture to the light path within the projector's optics, as well as custom aperture within the lens. The apertures dramatically reduce scatter light within the optical system, which improves system contrast ratios. The apertures also reduce the constructed light that is allowed to enter the optical system, and this serves to further reduce black levels as a result of a linear reduction in the projector's specified brightness.
Where do you use High Contrast Projectors?
High Contrast projectors are best suited for viewing high quality content with vital dark area detail, in a light controlled environment such as theatrically dark venues. A High Contrast projector will sacrifice light output to increase image contrast and reduce image black level. A High Contrast projector works best in applications where no windows are present or in venues where windows can be covered and where lights can be completely turned off. It should be noted that any ambient light falling on the screen elevates the image black level and as a result, eliminates the benefit of the projector's high contrast and black level performance. Here are a few recommendations on uses for a High Contrast projector:
• Applications with no ambient light - if there are windows in the venue, they should be equipped with blackout shades
• Theatrically dark venues such as screening rooms and home theaters
• Commercial applications where optimum video quality is required, and the venue is suitably dark - again, there should be no ambient light in order to gain maximum visual benefit from the enhanced contrast performance of the projector
• Projection array applications, where projectors will be soft edge blended - the lower black level of DP's High Contrast models assures the lowest black level is retained, even in the area of the screen where projected images overlap

or those few of you that didn't read Mark Rosewater's "Discard Tricks" on Monday, please do so now. I'll be referring to points he made frequently. Also, take a look at this Gatherer search on the word "discards" in Standard. I'll be talking about cards on that list quite a bit.
Discard, at its heart, is just plain mean. Many casual players flat-out hate it. Clever players—"Johnnies"—can rarely do anything interesting involving it (Auriok Salvagers + Necrogen Spellbomb aside). In general, discard has a specific mean goal of proactively preventing your opponent from getting to use his cards (unlike the equally fun countermagic, which reactively prevents your opponent from getting to use his cards).
What I'm saying is that discard is most enjoyed by Spike. And by "enjoyed" I mean "accepted and utilized." Spikes don't tend to actually enjoy anything.
When we make cards that are specifically for Spike, we have to cost them in such a way as to be relevant for constructed. Whenever we come up with a cool new idea for a discard spell (such as Cabal Therapy or Blackmail), we want to see it played, which means it has to be cheap. The previously mentioned cards both cost , as does their powerful ancestor Duress. Distress barely cuts the mustard at . Nezumi Shortfang is one of the few tournament-relevant flippers at the rock-bottom price of .
In my opinion, it is this efficiency in tournaments that causes most of the negative reaction to the mechanic in casual circles. Duress hits you often before you can do anything. Hymn to Tourach, the fabled random shredder of hands, was also so undercosted that it could effectively end the game by stealing a player's second and third land. A Hypnotic Specter fueled by Dark Ritual could also start wrecking shop before an opponent could play a single spell.
On the flip side, He Who Hungers doesn't ruffle many feathers. Pulse of the Dross is eminently forgettable. Fill with Fright is good in limited, but is rarely anyone's weapon of choice, even in the most laid-back casual settings.
Discard is stuck in a weird place. If a discard card is good—like Duress, Hymn, or Cabal Therapy (which I don't particularly enjoy, regardless of how much fun Mark claims it is… the card is a dream-wrecker)—then it ends up being really frustrating to a large portion of the audience. If it isn't fast enough to be really effective—like Pulse of the Dross, Fill with Fright, and even Blackmail—then it often isn't worth including in your deck. It's a mechanic with no one to love.
Like counterspells and land destruction, discard doesn't win the game by itself. While it's possible to just toss any decent threat—like Sengir Vampire or Kokusho—into a discard deck, I'd like to talk about the "theme discard" cards that Mark mentioned R&D considering to be "scary."
The Rack is an iconic Magic card at this point in its existence because of how well it does its job. Too well, in fact. At one mana, The Rack can hit the table quickly and start dealing damage early. As with most things in Magic, it is power level that partially taints people's opinions of an entire swath of cards.
R&D has gotten better at making "theme" cards for discard since the days of The Rack. Megrim is a casual staple that occasionally pokes its head into tournament-level decks. Geth's Grimoire and Skullcage are good enough at what they do to be included in the latest batch of Gottlieb concoctions, but not so good as to inspire a generation of malicious discard decks at every local tournament. Nezumi Shortfang's alter-ego Stabwhisker is the most aggressive of the bunch, but the tension of losing the "Scepter" ability once transformed, as well as Stabwhisker's legendary status, make the card acceptable without giving up much power.
The thing that I like about theme discard cards at the level we've been making them is that they lend a real sense of purpose to the discard spells around them that may not have made the grade in high-level constructed. Necrogen Mists, Abyssal Specter, and Wrench Mind are all decent additions to decks sporting one of the "themed" win conditions.
Where does R&D stand on the top-of-the line utility, like Duress? We recognize its power and know that it is a necessary measure in fast formats like the current Extended. We don't want it in Standard all the time. One, its presence cuts down on our ability to try similar but less brutal cards like Distress and Blackmail. Two, when Duress is in an environment, there's pressure against complicated combo-style decks that rely on certain cards to win. We like to see such decks from time to time. Is Duress gone for good? No. Is it the best utility we'll make? Probably.
Finally, I'd like to touch on the rule Mark mentioned about discard almost always being a sorcery. This is one rule that we've been trying to break where we can lately. Necrogen Spellbomb allows instant-speed discard, as does Nezumi Shortfang. Myojin of Night's Reach, although costly, can be activated at any time. My favorite? Ravenous Rats in Soul Foundry.
Randy Buehler has long stated that Magic is more interesting when there are more things to do on your opponent's turn and/or in response to his actions. I tend to agree, and some small amount of discard that can be used on an opponent's turn but does not lend itself to easy recursive "draw-locks" early in the game is good for Magic.

Greetings frequenters of the healing forums, and especially to my fellow Holy Priests.
I have been healing as Holy for a long time, and honestly would have it no other way. I've loved Holy Priesting for the many years I've been playing, and have yet to fall out of love with it. Yet I've recently been a bit irked by the concept of being "pigeon-holed" by your average other as "just a raid healer". I've always thought of Holy Priests as being exceptional raid healers of course, but more so the proverbial "jack of all trades" when the situation demanded it, even so far as to believe a skilled Holy Priest can turn the tide of an encounter (for a non-exaggerated example, something like using PW:S on an Iceblock target on Sindragosa P2 to ensure they reach the opposite side quickly [assuming Body and Soul]). I could gab about healing as Holy forever, but instead I'll move on with the important/question part of this post.
I've been accosted once or twice about my use of Binding Heal in any - any - given encounter regardless of what has occurred. Regardless, to this day Binding Heal is faithfully set as an easy-access keybind to use as I see fit, and use it I do. My question is what the rest of you think of it. I understand that, if used irresponsibly the spell could OOM a careless Priest quickly, but when should it be used, and what amount of over-healing (between both targets) is acceptable with it, assuming you think it should be used at all. I originally started using it in PvP, because it's really, really handy in a 2v2 Arena setting. Ever since though I've always found places for it in raids; what about you?
To give a few examples of when I like to use it, say on Saurfang (when I don't go Shadow) if I get Mark of the Fallen Champion and I'm already keeping another target up, I can safely use the spell knowing that two targets are being healed at the same time and save another healer to focus on tanks or get a new mark (speaking in terms of Heroic Saurfang, since I've not seen more than 1 mark on normal 25-man in a long time). Or on the Putricide transition if I get focused by one ooze I can heal myself and the other target simultaneously, etc etc. Those are very specific and random occurances, but they happen and when they do I'm glad I have the spell handy. I use it frequently enough on Blood Queen and Heroic Marrowgar as well.
I'll cut my post off there; if I post something else I'll try to keep it to essay length instead of novelette length. I hope to hear I'm not the only Priest who thinks this nifty heal still has a place on my bars.

Why Calorie Counting Fails and How to Burn Fat Without It
Which of the following statements are true?
a. A pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of lead.
b. We have to consciously decrease calories in or increase calories out in order to burn fat.
c. All triangles have three sides.
If we believe what we've been taught, A, B, and C are all true. However, it may come as a surprise (or not, considering the dramatic rise in obesity) that biologists have known for a long time that B is false. We do not need to consciously eat less or exercise more in order to burn fat.
How's this possible?
There are at least three major biological missteps with calorie counting:
1. It assumes calories out is fixed.
2. It assumes we can calculate calories out.
3. It assumes fewer calories in or more calories out requires the body to burn fat.

The Brights Are Coming, Carter's UFO, More Money Curse, An Insipid Response from South Africa, More Witchcraft and More Karen, The Curse of Uri Geller, Opinions on Astrology, and the UK's Channel Five Fiasco...
I want to begin this week's page with an important announcement that belongs up front here, not tagged onto the tail end of the update. It involves the advent of a new noun, "bright." Richard Dawkins, attending the annual conference of the American Atheist Alliance at Tampa in mid-April where we both spoke and celebrated this new word, recently wrote this definition: "A bright is a person whose world view is free of supernatural and mystical elements. The ethics and actions of a bright are based on a naturalistic world view."
I hope that's enough to take you to http://books.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,12084,981412,00.html
The Sci Fi TV channel here is launching a court effort to declassify documents related to a 1965 incident in Pennsylvania. This is the so-called "Kecksburg Incident" which is filled with varying stories from many different sources, many disagreeing with one another. The most persistent version involves an "acorn-shaped" object of a bronze color, large enough to hold a human being.
The network showed a documentary, "Out of the Blue," that laid out an argument that there's "something out there." I think there's hardly any doubt of that, given the size and age of the rest of the universe, but whether "they" have been here, or would even have the ability or the desire to get here, is a different matter altogether.
After hearing that former President Carter once saw a UFO, "Out of the Blue" filmmaker James Fox repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, asked Carter's representatives for an interview. Undaunted, Fox essentially ambushed Carter with a camera one day at a book-signing. Carter confirmed the incident but his brevity and forced smile indicated he wasn't happy to be answering that particular question. That's understandable. First of all, the date reported by Mr. Carter for that sighting was nine months off, which led researcher Robert Scheaffer on a chase (wild UFO chase?) for weeks until he finally got it pinned down. You can see the full account in his book, "The UFO Verdict," Prometheus Books, 1981. Needless to add, Robert's debunking of this report was not mentioned in "Out of the Blue."
Scheaffer has shown that on the evening in question, at the hour and the location in the sky indicated by Mr. Carter, the planet Venus was very prominently to be seen. Now, since the then-president-to-be was an observer for the US Navy (albeit on submarine duty) he could hardly have failed to notice a fully-bright Venus right where he saw what he thought was a UFO. And, of course, if that was Venus, it was "unidentified" by him. So, either Venus was not in the sky at that position and at that time, or Mr. Carter didn't recognize it, or the UFO stood exactly in front of the planet. Mr. Carter, in common with many, many, other persons, mis-identified Venus as a UFO.
The Sci Fi channel has good reasons for being fond of the UFO theme. Last November's documentary on the celebrated, suspected 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, N.M., was the highest-rated special in their 11-year history. It was seen by nearly 2.4 million people, or about 2˝ times their usual prime-time audience. They know good business when they see it. The network sponsored an archaeological excavation at Roswell, New Mexico, and has two new UFO specials in the works. I'm personally happy to know that they're backing an effort to get U.S. Air Force records released on that incident in Kecksburg, where some witnesses believe a UFO crashed. I don't anticipate, as do the believers, that startling new developments will become evident, but I'm willing to be shown.
What worries me most is the Sci Fi dependence on what they call "the most reputable of witnesses former astronauts, military and government officials, topped off by an ex-president." That's not my idea of necessarily proper witnesses... And Bob Scheaffer was free that evening...
Reader Carl Fink asks me, in regard to the JREF cursed million dollars:
If your money is so dangerously afflicted with negative energy, why aren't you experiencing bad luck, bad health, or bad anything much? You seem to be happy, quite successful, and enviably healthy for a man of your years. Seemingly the curse only applies to Danish psychics.
Well, Carl, it's not my money. It belongs entirely to the Foundation. And, I can tell you, we're doing just fine...! Kevin Schaffer suggests, on the same weighty problem:
I am not a physicist, but I am sure that quantum mechanics allows for no additional properties to the electron along the lines of a "cursing." Only charge, position, wave functions, probability fields, and the like are allowed. Thus, perhaps an electronic transfer of the money to Ms. Kofoed would suitably cleanse the prize of its curse?
Somehow, I don't think we'll be hearing any more from Ms. Kofoed...
Reader Jonathan Fox, in South Africa, carried on a long correspondence with SABC3, a television outlet there, concerning their use of the "Crossing Over" show with John Edward. Jonathan offered to establish that Edward is doing the "cold reading" trick. He had many exchanges with a PR person named Van Tonder, offering them to "bring any recorded episode of 'Crossing Over with John Edward' and have access to a monitor, a VCR, and a remote control" so that he could prove his point. Ms. Van Tonder squirmed and alibied, then finally stated that she could "not commit the channel to that kind of use of their staff time and resources" and advised him to contact the station general manager. He did, and finally received this:
Dear Mr. Fox,
Folks, I looked up the dictionary definition of "namby-pamby" before using it here. It means, "lacking decisiveness, irresolute, insipid." Not good enough, but okay to describe SABC3's waffling about the matter. But it's typical. They don't give a damn about the damage the program's doing to listeners; it's entertainment, right? Russian roulette, anyone? Just for fun, of course. Here's another idea: do an "entertainment" show on manufacturing methamphetamines at home! Mr. Smit would like that, because it would be "well received." That's enough, it seems.
We recently told you of a case in Denmark that got into the courtroom and became a news item in that country. This matter has now taken on much more serious aspects, according to a report from Claus Larsen. The "witchdoctor" we referred to is now identified as a "Doctor Mamadu," and the publicity given his court appearance has brought forward other witnesses who were also duped by him. The mother of a 44-year old Danish woman is accusing the witch doctor of the death of her daughter who visited his Copenhagen clinic several times, convinced that she was cursed. After 10 "treatments" and over $2,000, the doctor gave her a potion of African herbs. In June 2002, she died mysteriously, shortly after her last visit to him. The cause of death was never fully solved by the police.
Now he's also charged with embezzling from other victims, among them a Pakistani woman, a Muslim, for $115,000 plus some jewelry. The police suspect that he has cheated many more people. At least the clinic is now empty, while Mamadu is in custody, awaiting trial.
It is far too time-consuming for me to wade through all the lies and hyperbole that Karen Boesen has created and published to discredit me. Notice that she has chosen to try discrediting me, rather than what I say, and she avoids addressing the main question here: is she selling the Danish public something that works, or is it all a fraud? From three "case stories" that she has offered to bomb me, and which were sent to me for consideration by a reader, I've quickly selected out just a few points that don't need long discussion...
. . . an astrologer from Houston, who was a printer and had dealt with Randi in that capacity commercially, accepted the [JREF] challenge. He was put in contact with a professor from Rice University who administered a chart-to-profession matching test which the printer passed.
This is entirely a lie. It never happened. Please note that the "astrologer" is not named, nor is the "professor." Karen is very fond of these general accusations, which cannot be checked on by others, because no details are given.
[she refers to] Randi's web site . . . which is based in Canada.
I have never had any site of any sort based in Canada, and have never engaged in web activities from that country. This small lie is typical of the sort of thing that is thrown in by Karen for "flavor" but has no basis in reality.
. . . CSICOP, a militant athiest [sic] organization that was evicted from the Ethical Humanist society . . .
CSICOP is not, and never has been, an atheist organization. Many, if not a majority, of the members have religious affiliations. There is an "Ethical Humanist Society" in both Long Island, New York, and in Chicago. Both are affiliated with the American Ethical Union, and all three organizations absolutely deny that CSICOP has ever been associated with them, nor have they ever had any sort of dealings with CSICOP. This is another pack of blatant lies by Karen Boesen.
Randi used this little trick to demonstrate that Astrology was "bunk" and that people would always read their "horoscope" and see things they wanted to see as true for them.
The above refers to an experiment I've done several times, in several places, and describes it exactly. But Karen goes on to say
His little demonstration really "proved" nothing about Astrology, since Astrology was never used in this trick.
Also correct! And that's exactly what I told the audience! I wanted to demonstrate how they would accept anything that they wanted or needed to believe to be true, and my case was proved. It didn't involve astrology at all, just the gullible mind-set used by the believers. What's the problem here, Karen?
Ah, but she continues:
The point which he completely missed was that . . . if he had used REAL horoscope readings based on the individual birth dates, and had them created by an honest and competent astrologer, each person's reading would have been DIFFERENT.
Exactly! I didn't miss this point, at all. Now, I'm sure that Karen considers herself to be "an honest and competent astrologer." Or, one of her colleagues in her office might agree to that description. I have offered to pay Karen Boesen the million-dollar prize if she or any astrologer would perform such a test using "real" horoscopes and she has refused!
There it is, Karen. You're exposed once more as a bare-faced liar. PROVE ME WRONG.
A few weeks ago, the city of Turin, Italy, celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of a man who styled himself, "the most famous psychic in the world," Gustav Adolfo Rol, the son of a grand banker of Turin, who died in 1994 at age 91. He had a bald head and dark, sunken, penetrating eyes, looking as if he'd stepped from an Edgar Allan Poe story, and lived in an ancient home among crystal chandeliers, neo-classical nudes, and heavy imperial-style furniture after retiring from banking at 34 to become a "psychic." He had a law degree from Turin University, one in economics from London and a third in biology from Paris, but he was no lawyer, economist or biologist. He was a seer, a wizard, a world-class paranormalist, or a world-class fraud; take your pick.
As with so many others of his kind, Cagliostro, Uri Geller, Simon Magus, and others, his feats were attested to by hundreds of devotees, who swore that among other wonders, he passed through closed doors and walls, could read any book in a library without removing it from the shelf, and read people's minds. "He is in Turin," read a newspaper headline in the 1970s, "but people take pictures of him in New York." What's interesting to me is that he never allowed a professional magician to witness his feats, and he never let them be filmed. Italian conjuror Mariano Tomatis opined, "All of his 'phenomena' can be reproduced using the techniques of the illusionists." I agree; it's all old stuff.
Rol created a whole charismatic atmosphere around himself what a surprise! that convinced followers he'd been hobnobbing with persons he probably never even met. He said that Benito Mussolini met him secretly during visits to Turin, that famed film director Federico Fellini called him "the most disconcerting man I ever met," and that French President Charles De Gaulle would have nothing to do with him because, he said, "That man reads minds. We cannot risk French state secrets becoming known to foreigners." Somehow I feel that at least one spirit hovers here: the spirit of hyperbole.
Doesn't Turin have more important persons to recognize...?
A reader in the UK has suggested that we discuss a discovery of his which he calls "The Curse of Uri Geller!" He points out that:
On the James Whale Radio Show in the UK, Geller predicted that David Coulthard would win the Formula 1 motor race in the UK. He exhorted the listeners to shout "Win, David, win!" or words to that effect. Coulthard had a crash in the first lap at the first corner, and as a result of the damage had to retire on lap 3.
In the UK's "Big Brother" TV show In July 2001, Geller tried to get people to stop one contestant, Paul, being evicted from the Big Brother house by placing their hands on the TV screen. Paul was evicted soon after.
During the Wimbledon Games in 2001, Geller announced he was using his "powers" to back tennis star Tim Henman. Henman lost to Ivanisevic.
In 1997 Geller predicted that a horse named "Go Ballistic" would win the Grand National. The race was abandoned.
On 14 December, 1996, Geller tried to get the viewers on the "Noel Edmond's House Party" BBC television program to psychically support the English cricket team then touring Zimbabwe. The first match started the following day. He asked viewers to place their hands on an "orange circle'" (there's one in his "Mind Power" kit) and "wish the England cricket team to win." There were five matches between England and Zimbabwe between 15th December, 1996, and 3rd January, 1997. England lost three and drew two.
In 1996, Geller asked everyone to touch an orange spot on the TV screen in order to make England win the 1996 European Football Championship. Immediately after that process started, they got knocked out of the competition by Germany.
Geller worked for the Reading Football Club, assisting them psychically, but it all boomeranged when the team was relegated.
The Orange Dot: In a letter published in the Daily Star, on 16 September 1992, a Mrs. P. Standing (is that a joke?) was quoted as saying that after touching Geller's magical orange spot things began to happen immediately. First, the cat knocked her favorite vase off the window sill; a pepper pot fell out of a cupboard and broke her ceramic hob. Then her iron broke.
England -vs- Scotland: Appearing on GMTV on Friday, 12 November, 1999, Geller said he was going to use his "powers" to help Scotland beat England, after he'd helped England win the last time they met. The result: England beat Scotland 2-0.
England -v- Argentina: Appearing on GMTV (a TV outlet in the UK, though no one knows what GMTV stands for) on Monday, 29 June, 1998, Geller predicted that England would beat Argentina 1-0 in their game to be played on Tuesday, 30 June. The result: England lost in a penalty shoot-out, the full-time score standing at 2-2 and no goals being scored in extra time. David Beckham was sent off, reducing the England side to 10 men. Of course, GMTV features all sorts of psychics and astrologers, so failure is ignored.
Exeter City Football Club: We've already mentioned this latest "curse." Geller became a co-chairman of this 3rd Division club in 2002, but at the end of the season they were relegated, and the owners were being investigated for some "irregularities."
From a 1995 issue of Ethnologia Scandinavica, dealing with testing procedures and methods resorted to by business persons in Scandinavia, we find these comments about the use of astrology:
In a women's magazine, "Alt for Damerne", a writer declares: People are becoming ever more open to astrology. Just ten years ago, for example, [the financial newspaper] Břrsen would never have thought of arranging lectures on astrology for company executives. But it is still something which not everyone accepts as serious, and I can understand that people do not want to risk their good reputation by publicizing their interest. It will probably take 40-50 years before astrology is regarded as a natural and useful tool.
In Politiken: It was a great sensation when it became known that President Reagan and his wife Nancy consulted an astrologer when they were about to make a decision or embark on a trip. Their astrologer Joan Quigley said that her aim was "to raise astrology to the place where it belongs". She would like to see it incorporated in a scientific context in universities.
The Berlingske Tidende wrote: Both graphology and astrology are trying to win legitimacy. Both groups are challengers/pretenders in the scientific field. They also appear to have gained a position where they have acquired a certain degree of authority. We should not only look at their own statements here. The reactions of others particularly the scientific world are symptomatic. The director of the Tycho Brahe Planetarium in Copenhagen, Bjřrn Franck Jřrgensen, says: "Our scientific world-view, on which European culture rests, is disappearing for the majority of a generation. The best conditions exist for astrology to find a seedbed once again. From having been a harmless joke, it has become a scourge in our everyday life. We run into it everywhere. We are being suffocated by superstition. People are appointed to their positions on the basis of their time of birth. They are bulls, goats, or toads not human beings."
This photo has been embraced and celebrated by the woo-woos as the horns of some netherworld inhabitant showing up in the sky. Sorry, kids. It's the June 18, 2003, partial solar eclipse peeking through some clouds....
UK reader John Walker gives us details about a live TV program on Channel 5 in the UK, broadcast on June 19th, titled, "Are You Telepathic?" It was advertised to be "Britain's largest telepathy test of all time." The program contained a combination of live "tests" and pre-recorded documentary-style reports of various bits of telepathic "research."
At the very beginning they took an audience phone vote to see what percentage of viewers believed in telepathy. 93% said they believed, but thankfully the program mentioned that the national average was only around 54%.
I've discovered that the "level-headed and reasonable" "skeptic" in the studio was Dr. Chris French of Goldsmith College, London, from whom I've requested a report on his participation and his opinions of the conduct of the program. Stay tuned.
Next week, some good Q-Ray news, those Ghost Photos at last!, I get some chiropractic lumps, and astronaut Ed Lu spots a UFO...!


text: Occupy Riots All Part Of The Business Plan Print article Send a Tip by Lee Stranahan 18 Mar 2012 post a comment The Occupy Movement sprung back into public view last night the only way they knew how--by staging a violent clash with police on the streets. Like a spoiled child who has learned that throwing a temper tantrum is the only way to get attention, the movement used the confluence of the six-month anniversary of the start of Occupy Wall Street and the intoxicated party atmosphere of St. Patrick's Day to launch an attempted re-taking of Zuccotti Park. The move was predictable because Occupy had openly discussed a few weeks ago that they needed more 'direct actions' as way to refill their dwindling financial coffers. Just as predictable as the chaos. however, was the reaction of the media. Take the politically active Buzzfeed, where the article title tells you what you need to know: Occupy Arrests Are Good News For The Movement. The clash last night between New York police and members of Occupy Wall Street was the best thing to happen to the protest movement in months. The flagship New York branch of the leaderless movement attempted to re-occupy Zuccotti Park last night to mark the movement's six-month anniversary. Police arrested 73 people as they removed protesters from the park, which is owned by a local real estate company. The movement, left for dead by the press for months, is back in the news and on Twitter today. Protesters have been staging direct actions all winter but none have made headlines outside of advocacy journalism outlets until now. And that's because last night resulted in dramatic photos and a considerable number of arrests — the kind of outcome that, as loath as most protesters are to admit it, is more likely to get them covered by reporters than a protest involving putting living room furniture in a bank branch, for example. And more media attention means an uptick in energy for the protesters, and vice versa. "I think the past week the energy has been consistently ramping up," said organizer Max Berger. Of course, these latest clashes were completely predictable to anyone paying attention to Occupy because they said they needed to do them to raise funds. This came up less than a month ago, in a February 24th proposal entitled "Proposal to Spend Remaining NYCGA Funds Exclusively on Actions." Occupy Wall Street is not about money. Occupy Wall Street is about action. So lets spend our money on action. If accepted, this proposal would mandate that every dollar remaining in the NYCGA's account, outside of the bail fund, be used exclusively on actions. This is the Occupy Business Plan: antagonizing the police is good for business and will be supported by the media. And, unfortunately, the Obama administration. And spring hasn't even started yet.

What booze do you keep on hand to cook with?
- p
- Philly Ray Jan 2, 2008 06:25 PM
In an effort to keep my pantry well stocked at all times, I'm trying to compile a list of different types of alcoholic beverages that are typically used in cooking (as part of the dish itself, not as a beverage). So far, wine (red or white) and beer come to mind. Is marsala wine necessary, or can vermouth be used instead? Or should I have both on hand? I have also heard that cooking sherry should be avoided, but what is a good sub?
As for harder stuff, I have used tequila in marinades and Amaretto in cookie recipes.
What do you all use???
i cook mostly asian, so i always have a bottle of sake, shaoxing wine, and sometimes mirin...
There is no way that vermouth can sub for Marsala. I keep Brandy, Bourbon, Vodka, Sherry, Marsala, Madeira, and dry vermouth on hand for cooking. We don't drink any of these, but they all seem to keep practically forever.
re: pikawicca
If you add Port to your list, we keep the same larder. I will admit to drinking these as well as always having red & white wine available. From time to time, I also use pear and raspberry eau de vie as well as cointreau & triple sec. Oops, almost forgot beer ....... cannot make Belgian beef stew without Chimay.
We keep a pretty well-stocked bar here, so if I want a dash of tequila et al, I have only to open a cabinet.
re: Sherri
I keep pretty much all of the above, though I haven't bothered replacing the Chambourd, but I also keep Pernod, rum, and Grand Marnier (similar to Cointreau and triple sec) on hand for cooking.
re: Caroline1
You know, Cooks Illustrated recently did a taste test, and they actually recommend using triple sec (Ledoux is their preferred brand) for cooking purposes over Grand Marnier, and after trying it, I agree entirely. It delivers a cleaner orange flavor at about 1/3rd the price.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
I've tried both triple sec and Cointreu, but prefer the Grand Marnier. Other than the occasional duck or goose,I don't use it for cooking but for baking. It's great in combination with chocolate (cakes, ganaches, etc.) and other baked goods. I do like Cointreu more than triple sec though. Just don't see any purpose in keeping them both on hand. I think my bottle of Grand Marnier is a couple of years old.
re: Caroline1
I used Grand Marnier in my Thanksgiving cranberry sauce. Nothing tastes exactly like it because it is added at the end, after the cooking is essentially done. Cointreu is a bit more orange flavored, if that is what you are going after. I save the Triple Sec for when I am mixing drinks for the masses.
re: RGC1982
I use Grand Marnier in my holiday cranberry relish. It's not cooked and has fresh cranberries and orange supremes plus orange zest in it, so Cointreu just fades into the background with the zest, but the Grand Marnier stands its ground. And acts as a great preservative! I still have some left!
re: Caroline1
We must have similar recipes. I don't use orange supremes -- what are they? I think the Cointreau blends too much with the orange zest too.
re: RGC1982
Orange supremes are just the segments of the orange removed from the "membrane". Did this yesterday with a grapefruit and for the first time used a serrated knife - made it much easier.
re: RGC1982
Yup, /as MMRuth says, the supremes are just the orange without the yucky parts. I've seen recipes for cranberry relish very similar to mine but that use the whole orange. Tried it one year because of the work reduction, but paid for it in the bitterness using the whole fruit produces.
I microplane the zest off of two oranges (Valencias if I can find them), then supreme the oranges. A bag of cranberries. Put it all in the food processor with sugar -- the amount depends on how sweet the cranberries and orange are, but anywhere from a half cup to a cup and a half if I have sour berries and have to use naval oranges -- and process everything to a fairly fine "chunk." Then add Grand Marnier to taste. I make it at least a couple of days ahead so it can blend. Is this the same as your recipe?
One year I made a lot and gave some to a friend to take home with her. She added some walnuts and used it in a red Jell-O mold. It was good, but I'm not the Jell-O mold type... But it was good.
re: Caroline1
I have to get better at making supremes. When I've tried it, I get chunks, not nice segments. MMRuth -- is there a trick? I will try the serrated knife.
re: karykat
I find that a really sharp paring knife is best, as is holding the thing in your hand and taking time picking the spot where you cut.
re: Sherri
Oops! Overlooked the Port, a must-have.
I friend brought me a bottle of wild strawberry liqueur from France last year, and I used it to macerate strawberries for Strawberry Shortcake -- unbelievable! It's very difficult to get this stuff in the U.S., however. If you're in a big city, give it a try.
re: pikawicca
Sounds delicious. I only remember the Italian brand -- can't think of the name of it now... Fragioli? something like that -- with the little wild strawberries in the top of the bottle. Haven't seen it lately, but then haven't been looking. Is the French liqueur similar to that? Not that there are a lot of strawberries in the local farmer's market these days.
re: Caroline1
I'm not familiar with the Italian version (sounds delicious), but my French bottle does not have berries in it.
re: Caroline1
I want to try this now, wonder if BevMo carries this? Preferred brand anyone?
re: chef chicklet
That sounded so intriguing I had to find the wild strawberry liqueur page at BevMo.....
re: chef chicklet
Here's the one I was talking about (and misspelled):
I haven't been able to find it on the web not in the gift pack except for UK websites, and who want to pay shipping from there!
There are several other brands of wild strawberry liqueur, from Marie Brizzard to DeKuyper. BevMo does carry Bol's strawberry liqueur, but it's not "wild" strawberry. But it's about 1/3 the price of the Fragola.
re: Caroline1
Thank you for posting the link, all of these are helpful. I'll be going to BevMo its closer and I pick up other things too.. right around the corner from TJs so its a fun trip!
re: Caroline1
If I'm not mistaken, DeKuyper does artificially flavored stuff. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
re: pikawicca
I think that is the case - I really just avoid that brand and Marie Brizzard or whatever.
re: pikawicca
What kind of Madeira do you have? I was gifted a nice bottle of California Madeira from a Napa winery, which is now gone, and I don't know what variety it was, only that it was some nice hooch. I notice that Brits like Nigel Slater are apt to pour a slug of Madeira into many a dish. What should I get?
re: heidipie
Mine is "Rainwater" from Portugal. I've never tried California madeira so don't have any recommendation for you on that.
There's always an open bottle of red & white wine around :-D.
Also, I currently have a bottle of vodka, port, gin, and brandy -- all work nicely for a variety of reductions and/or sauces, e.g. I like adding gin or vodka to seafood bisque; port works really well with pork or pan-seared liver.
We're not big drinkers(actually DH is a non-drinker and I'm a not much drinker) but we keep a well stocked liquor cabinet that I mostly use to cook with.
I mostly use red or white wine when cooking but also regularly pull out vermouth, cognac, sherry(not the cooking wine stuff!), port, and marsala.
I always have rum, gin, vodka, bourbon and tequila on hand too. I'm not a beer drinker but keep a few bottle around to toss in things(those pumpkin ales during the fall make great stews for instance!)
I also have a healthy collection of liqueurs that mostly get used in baking.
For being essentially non-drinkers, friends are always amazed by what we have on hand...and even more amazed when I point out I mostly cook with everything!
Even though neither of us drinks, I keep marsala, dry vermouth, sherry and port on hand, along with red and white wine and beer. We are lucky that we live near liquor stores that carry those tiny bottles of a wide variety of spirits, so if I need any liquor, I can get one of those for just a couple of bucks. I also keep some mirin in the cupboard. We always try to have a few things on hand for those who like to drink, but we have to be careful that they don't sit around too long.
re: crosby_p
I substitute Applejack for Calvados. I first started using it when I wanted to cook a Thanksgiving dinner with all American ingredients. Applejack is the oldest American produced brandy. It's been made by Laird & Company in Scobeyville, NJ since the early 1700's -- it was called cyder spirits then. I love to use it in apple desserts like apple crumb pie or with pork -- it's great when added to the stuffing or the gravy.
re: crosby_p
I'll second the Calvados. Works great with pork and i've even put a splash into pumpkin soup.
I live alone, so it's a bit difficult to get through a bottle of anything -- esp wine, which one must use within days. Reading that the single serve Cali wine bottles weren't so bad, I tried. Learned my lesson. And will never do it again.
So now all I have is mirin, some port, and a bottle of chardonnay I'm too scared to open. :D
re: link_930
Wine snobs are horrified by the thought -- and since I love horrifying wine snobs, this is only an inducement for me -- but there are a number of really quite nice boxed wines now. Not only is the wine cheaper (you get three bottles' worth for the price of about one and a half bottles), the mechanism of the spigot keeps the wine from oxidizing, which means it lasts much much longer. I've kept boxes of wine out in the mudroom, which is cooler than the rest of the house, for three months without losing any of the wine's flavor, and since it's out there, it's already slightly chilled whenever I decide I want a glass.
Look for the Hardy's Stamp or Banrock Station labels: they're the same Australian company, and their wines are uniformly solid.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
Second that, Barmy - boxed wines are a staple in our kitchen, and I concur on the staying power of the flavor. A good solution for the "glass every once in a while" wine drinker and for the cook.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
Hey, in convenience stores in Tokyo I found sake packaged in what we think of as little juice boxes -- straws included. Loved them, and wish I would have brought some back for cooking.
re: sweetpotater
Various Japanese students that stayed with us in my growing-up years always packed those little juice boxes of sake in their luggage to give to folks or use in cooking...that was 20 years ago.
re: sweetpotater
I love the self heating cans of Sake you can now buy in the Japanese convenience stores.
re: link_930
I substitute vermouth for white wine all the time. I'm a light drinker and my husband is a non-drinker, so I can't get through a bottle of wine before it goes bad. Vermoth keeps forever in the cupboard, and Julia says it's ok, too.....
Shaoxing is always very useful, and it's also a good sub for sherry. I always have a bottle of brandy and dark rum for sweets and a chardonnay for sauces. Port is one of those expensive liquors I just can't put into a pot.
Yes, we have Shaoxing on hand, and use it instead of Sherry. This time of year, when we don't find ourselves drinking too much white wine here in the northeast, dry vermouth is a good sub and keeps longer.
I wouldn't keep wine around for cooking, as it goes off pretty quickly. If you drink it regularly and happen to have it around, that's great. Otherwise, vermouth makes a pretty good substitute for white wine in many dishes. I keep both vermouth and marsala, as well as mirin, sake, and a sherry (not a cooking sherry!). Also, since we're not big drinkers, I buy those little bottles of red wine for when I need it for cooking. That way, it never goes to waste.
I've always wanted to get some Calvados, but it's so expensive and I can never justify buying it!
re: bnemes3343
Really? I've had vodka sauce. Didn't move me. Perhaps not enough was used....LOL
re: Gio
Vodka is used a lot in tomato dishes because tomatoes have flavor compounds that are alcohol soluble, and since vodka is relatively flavorless, it brings out those compounds in the tomatoes without adding flavors of its own the way that wine, vermouth or other alcohols would. The best way I can describe a tomato sauce cooked with vodka is that it has a certain...I think "earthiness" is the best way of putting it. It just adds a certain depth of flavor to the tomatoes.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
Thanks for providing the science behind this. Adding vodka to a tomato sauce certainly isn't done for the vodka 'flavor', yet there is something about the result that is very good and different from a non vodka tomato sauce. Of course it could be the cream and the cheese...
There is also science behind the use of vodka in a pie pastry crust (alcohol doesn't form glutens with flour, as water does).
re: bnemes3343
Actually, I don't usually use cream or cheese in my vodka sauce. I don't use vodka in my quick everyday red sauce, which is based on Pastene ground tomatoes and doesn't cook long enough for the alcohol to burn off, but if I'm making a sauce that starts from whole tomatoes (either fresh or canned) and simmers for a fair amount of time, a dose of vodka always does wonders.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
That must be It, then. I use Pastene Kitchen Ready for an everyday/marinara sauce....all the time, since we don't like a heavy meat sauce. Perhaps I should dig out some recipes which require the addition of Vodka and see what I'm missing. Thank you, BFM and bnemes3343 for the information and incentive.
re: Gio
Gio, here is a tomato vodka salmon recipe:
It's easy and flavourfull.
re: blue bike
Bloody Mary Salmon???? That's perfect.... I Love Bloody Marys. LOL
Thank you blue bike!! Into my recipe file it goes. Too bad I didn't see this yesterday, tho....I cooked wild salmon last night.
re: bnemes3343
I like Vodka sauce if it is well done, which usually means that the vodka is cooked out and there is plenty of cheese and heavy cream to form a pink sauce. I don't know what the science is behind it, but it is a nice alternative to marinara sauce.
Still, I always wonder how this dish, which is clearly not authentic, got started. I can tell you that my little Italian grandma was NOT running around her kitchen with a bottle of Russian vodka :)
New Year's Resolution: Could I make a plea for all serious cooks to eschew anything labeled "Cooking Wine". This is horrid stuff; sub-par wine that isn't fit to drink and has been salted to boot. Use water or juice instead of this nasty concoction that was originally devised to keep the cooks from drinking the hooch.
I have non-drinking friends who've always bought "cooking wine" until I twisted their arms and they cannot believe the difference in their food now.
re: Sherri
That stuff is awful. I bought some when I was about eleven and wanting to make a spaghetti sauce that called for red wine. I, of course, couldn't buy real wine, so I bought the red cooking kind (I can't remember where my parents were during all of this) and it was so bad I've never gone back. It's nice now to buy the bottle, cook with some of it, and have the rest with dinner or the cooking process. :)
We have a full liquor cabint (vodka, gin, rum, etc. etc.) but the only alcohols I cook with regularly are wine, dry vermouth, and brandy. I agree that vermouth is not a substitute for Marsala, but I don't make a special effort to keep Marsala in hand -- I don't use it often enough.
Since I started making liqueurs at home, I keep a stash of 100-proof vodka. But that's a specialized use, obviously.
Red and white wines
Sherry (not too sweet! Amontillado)
Madeira (malvasia or bual, not sercial or verdelho)
Honestly, I've never been keen on vermouth in my cooking. Just me, I guess.
I keep various liquers around for flavoring for baking and pastries: Grand Marnier, amaretto, cognac, frangelico, dark and light rum, Kahlua, kirsch, raspberry vodka, poire William, Marsala, Bailey's. Trouble is, where I'm living now, people think these are perfect for topping ice cream, so they're disappearing quicker than normal.
I don't use alcohol in my cooking very often, but I always have some white wine and some rum on hand.
Well, I have beer and wine, to drink and to cook with. Other than that, if a recipe I want to make calls for a particular type of booze I'll buy it. I think right now I have light rum, dark rum., Marsala, madeira, brandy, calvados, sake, mirin and sherry. And I have vodka, gin and tequila for drinking and sometimes for cooking with.
I love having a nice stash of three-buck Chuck around for a bastardized riff on boeuf bourgignon or coq au vin. Cheaper than most ingredients and makes the most luscious gravy.
I don't keep much on hand to cook with, besides the usual wine and beer that we drink. But if a recipe calls for something I like to drink I'll buy a bottle, and if it calls for something I don't like to drink, like rum or Grand Marnier, I buy airplane bottles. I think the guys at the liquor store think I have some kind of bizarre drinking problem.
re: alysonlaurel
You should see the looks I get when I buy 3 or 4 bottles of 100-proof vodka (which i often do when i find it on sale). I always want to blurt out "I use it to make liqueurs. Really!"
re: jlafler
Oh, that is hilarious! I used this old line on my purveyor of all things alcoholic once...."I cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food." I went in to stock up over Christmas, and bought a 6-pack of Guiness Stout, which I needed for the Gramercy Tavern Gingerbread Cake. He said something like, "so, guess you're using the stout for cooking, ay? You should have seen his face when I said yes!
re: jlafler
I think you should just blurt it out. Most of the time when I explain something like this (I know I'm buying a lot of carrots - I'm making a carrot cake. Really! I'm not going blind!), the salesperson will laugh and respond with their own favorite bulk buys, which often lead to good ideas.
How do you make your liquers? Do they have to be specially sealed? Do you have recipes you'd be willing to share?
re: alysonlaurel
It's true, sometimes you can get into a nice little conversation. But sometimes they just look at you like you're from Mars!
I've been making liqueurs for less than a year, so I'm certainly not an expert, but I've been having a lot of fun experimenting. I've mainly used two books, "Cordials From Your Kitchen" by Vargas and Gulling, and "Classic Liqueurs" by Long and Kibbey. They've both been useful in learning the basic techniques.
By far the most successful liqueur I've made is a coffee/cinnamon/chili concoction. I just published it on Chowhound, but for some reason someone else is listed as the author. Anyway, here it is:
re: jlafler
Oops, tech support is going to delete the recipe until they can fix the authorship bug. Will repost eventually.
re: alysonlaurel
Same here. If I need something for cooking I buy it, and drink what I don't use in the dish. This is especially true for wine. It just doesn't help it any to sit around after it's open. And I mostly choose recipes involving Guinness when I'm in the mood to drink some Guinness. The recipe is a nice bonus.
The only exception is sake. It takes me forever to use up a bottle of sake when I only use it to throw a splash into the broth for somen. I don't drink it, but when I want somen I want somen, and where I live you have to special order sake.
One time I decided to make some risotto, and I didn't have any white wine, but I did have a bottle of brandy, so I used that instead. It was good.
I'm not always able to have a good selection around, but the barest of minimum necessities in my pantry is vermouth. It works well in chinese cooking, and is perfect to using in a pan of fried onions or mushrooms, or just about anything that needs that little shot of something.
re: violabratsche
What brand vermouth do you use?
I always have a bottle of Zubrowka (bison grass vodka)in my cupboard! I bring a big bottle from Poland every time I go there, as it has a very unusual taste. It's great with all kinds of roasts. I also love to cook with wine.
re: polish_girl
Hey, polish girl! I'm familiar with Zubrowka. I never thought of using that on the plate. (When I have it, it's in the glass.) Thanks for that.
re: hungry_pangolin
Glad to hear somebody out there likes it too! (btw, the most famous polish drink is Zubrowka with apple juice). I also love to add it when I make carmelized onions- instead of white wine, I add Zubrowka. Mix them with mashed potatoes, or put on a pizza-they have an incredible taste.
None. We're non-drinkers and don't have booze in the house. I've recently found a nice organic white grape juice, and I combine that with a little vinegar and a touch of stock to make a wine substitute. I've used this wine substitute to make Chicken Marbella, and again last night for Nigella's slow-roasted lemon-garlic chicken, and it's just fine.
Oh I have pretty much the same, except no bourbon. I don't like it at all, so I see no need. I have been using Vermouth too to sub for white wine, I do like it for a less alcohol taste, maybe I just use less of it..
Red wine in all the shades except pink, and love dry white for cooking. I do love Pernod too, and Grand Marnier for desserts. I am another that goes to BevMo and buys little bottles for a once or twice recipe. I just got to insist that nothing goes in my food that is bad tasting, so I'll splurge for a good quality. I I just can not drink 2 buck chuck, I'll get instant migraine that last for days! DH is happy, more for him!
Oh and champage! for that! Its great for salad dressing or a champagne sauce for fish. Its really a favorite. Have to hide this one from myself..
Somewhere way back in some cooking show I remember the chef saying to use Vermouth instead of white wine. You would then have greater consistency in flavor and be able to recreate recipes rather than using a pinot grigio one time and a chardonnay another for example. Also, in Cook's they advocated using the boxed red wines for cooking - that they actually work quite well, taste good in the end product, and due to the vacuum packing will last a long time in the fridge. I rarely use other liquors in my cooking tho I do have rum and vodka and gin on hand.
re: KingsKetz
As far as I know, it was Julia Child who first publically advocated the use of white vermouth in cooking.
Red, white and marsala wines are my staples. I also keep some bourbon, amaretto, frangelico and fruit brandies around, mostly for baking.
This may be a little off topic, but I enjoyed a really good chuckle at the liquor store a few days before Thanksgiving when a little old lady walked in and asked if she could buy the "smallest possible bottle of bourbon". She was the epitome of a teetotaler, and proceeded to declare, for all to hear, that this was "just for cooking". I guess some people don't keep any booze around at all, but can bend the rules a bit for a good holiday recipe! The clerk sold her a bottle about the size of what you get on an airplane.
Geez, I'm glad I don't have liquor issues.
re: RGC1982
I have a lady in my church like that...she goes out to the liquor store to buy Creme de Menthe to make this really wonderful cake--but she worries the whole time lest some townsfolk see her car there.
re: revsharkie
My first trip to the liquor store...i was about 16. Told them I needed 1 cup of rum. They wouldn't sell it to me. I had to make my Mom actually get out of the car and GO IN THE LIQUOR STORE. I thoughrt she would die.
re: ajs228
I did an experiment last week -- braised two chickens, one with half a bottle of $10 red, one with half of $25 red. The $10 was good; the $25 tasted like we'd flown to Paris and were eating in a 3 star restaurant. Try it.
We have lots of stuff, wine beer , rum and brandy around continually, mostly for my husband tho I do drink the wine, but for cooking (in addition to the foregoing I usually have chinese rice wine, madeira and marsala (used rarely), maraschino, cointreau and vodka, used for making liqueurs. I also have stuff like amaretto, alchermes, frangelico, ,kahlua, l around from time to time -its rarely used unless my husband gets desperate. There's some banana liqueur thats been waiting maybe 20 years for another bananas foster, pernod waiting for french fish soup, etc.
re: jen kalb
I've never cooked with banana liqueuer, but it sounds like a great ingredient in baking, especially cakes.
re: pikawicca
If you like bananas, it's also quite refreshing in the summertime with club soda and ice. Maybe a sprig of mint. But it has to be a good quality banana liqueur. I don't like DeKuypers.
re: Caroline1
Ooooh...the bottle of creme de banane in the cupboard! Makes a great drink with mango nectar and tequila. Ratios to your taste, but it is like drinking "summer."
wine - red and white, mirin, rum, vodka, triple sec, tequila
In addition to red and white wine:
dry vermouth (usually use it instead of white wine;
fino sherry;
dry marsala,
ruby & tawny port
sercial madeira
On a lazy susan by the stove we keep, Harvey's bristol cream ,Sake, Dry Vermouth,Cognac, Vodka, and White rum. Pretty much covers our cooking needs from Asian to West Indian.

November 26, 2014
A rollover accident at 148th & O Streets sent two people to the hospital Wednesday afternoon.
The Southeast Fire Department, Alvo Rescue Squad and Lancaster County Sheriff's Office responded just after 2 p.m.
Firefighters had to use the jaws of life to pull one of the drivers out of the car.
Southeast Fire Chief John Porter said,"Initial reports were one vehicles had rolled over, one of the occupants was trapped."
Authorities determined the pick-up truck was driving north on 148th Street, while the car was heading west on Highway 34.
Officials said both vehicles landed about 20-30 feet away from the road.
Porter added, "Nobody was ejected fortunately, but obviously with it being off the road makes things a little more difficult, getting equipment back in there, using the airbags and extraction tools because of the trees."
Both drivers were taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Speed may have been a factor in the crash, but Southeast Fire Chief John Porter told 10/11 one of the vehicles failed to stop at a red light.

1 pound
brown crimini mushrooms or baby bellas
2 tablespoons
1 small
yellow onion, chopped
2/3 cup
Holland House® Sherry Cooking Wine
2 tablespoons
3 cups
whole milk
1 (14 ounce) can
reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon
soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon
dried sage
Really good with a few tweaks. Double the mushrooms andsherry. Use half and half instead of milk with two cups instead of three. Curious about beef broth in place of chicken.
This is a very easy soup with EXCELLENT results! I did make some minor changes due to personal taste and lack of availability of ingredients -- first, I used shallots instead of an onion (for their milder flavor), and I also used a mixture of different kinds of mushrooms - both of which worked out fine. Don't bring soup to a hard boil at any time, just follow instructions as they are. After making the soup, I put it in a crockpot on Warm, then on LOW for a party that was several hours away - it kept the soup at a perfect temp and everyone LOVED it! Served it with snipped scallions to top it off and croutons which complimented it very nicely. Will definitely make this again!

That's My Boy Lyrics - VAST
Review The Song (1)
That's my boy
American son
Hope I'm not around when he gets the idea to buy a gun
There's our boy
America's gone
Hope we're not to blame when he gets the idea to kill someone
Have you ever really loved someone?
The flag's been broken
By an enemy
Raised on mtv, raised on you and me
Yeah it's gone
The land I have known in my youth
Yeah it's gone and it's never coming back
Where's our saviour
Not looking for a sign
Just want something to clean
The blood from my numb and weary mind

that's my boy...1952 | Reviewer: cindy | 8/17/2007
I'm looking for an old song, that I believe is titled "That's my boy" My parents bought the record when my brother was born,(1952) but a few years later, someone stepped on it and it broke. The song starts with, "What do I treasure most, of all I possess? It isn't fame or fortune, that I must confess. It's not a house, it's not book, it's not a precious stone. It's just a little curley head, I call my own. Just take a look; ah, that's my boy, why he's his daddy's little pride and joy...he's just an angel with an axe for a toy. Uh hu, that's my boy." That's all I can remember. I don't know the year it was release, the recording artist, or the true title. I thought it would be fun to find this song. Do you have suggestions how to find this song-or at least the words to it? Thank you,

|Positive UPA
|Negative UPA
The tetractys
The Tree of Life
Each whorl is a closed helix with 1680 circular turns, or 1st-order spirillae.
The gematria number value of Cholem Yesodeth, the Mundane Chakra of Malkuth, is 168:
This is the number of points, lines & triangles below the top of the 1-tree constructed from 19 Type A triangles with 25 sides:
Below the apex of the 1-tree are:
(10+19=29) corners of triangles;
(25+ 3×19 = 82) sides of triangles;
(3×19=57) triangles.
Total = 168.
Each 1st-order spirilla consists of 7 2nd-order spirilla
spaced evenly around a circle; each 2nd-order spirillae comprises 7 3rd-order spirillae, and so on.
The 7th-order spirilla is 7 "bubbles in koilon" spaced evenly around a circle. The 6 higher orders
of spirillae represent the winding of curves around the 6 compactified dimensions predicted by
superstring theory. It appears that the compactified space is (S1)6 =
T6, namely, the 6-dimensional torus, which is a Ricci-flat Calabi-Yau
(Place cursor over image to enlarge)
240 =
The 240 hexagonal yods in the 48 tetractyses of the 7 separate polygons making up half of the inner Tree of Life denote, in context of superstrings, the 240 roots of the exceptional Lie group E8 that determines the forces between E8×E8 heterotic superstrings.
The 1-tree with 19 Type A triangles contains 240 yods other than Sephirothic corners of these triangles. They denote the 240 roots of the superstring gauge symmetry group E8.
Interpretation 1
Interpretation 2
Each whorl in the UPA is a helix with 1680 circular turns. It is 10-dimensional, the six higher orders of spirillae being closed curves that wind around the six compactified dimensions (actually progressively smaller circles) predicted by superstring theory. A dimension is represented by a Tree of Life, so that a whorl is geometrically represented by 10 overlapping Trees of Life. As the microscopic Tree of Life, the UPA has 10 whorls corresponding to the 10 Sephiroth. Each Sephirah can be represented by a Tree of Life with 10 Sephiroth, each of the latter by a Tree of Life, and so on. This means that a whorl can be mapped by either a single Tree of Life or 10 Trees of Life.
The Godname of Malkuth — the physical manifestation of the Tree of Life blueprint — is ADONAI. Its number value is 65, which is the number of Sephirothic levels in the 10-tree. This is equivalent to a tetractys-divided decagon that is enclosed in a square. ADONAI prescribes the 10 dimensions of space-time predicted by superstring theory and mapped by 10 Trees of Life. EL ("God"), the Godname of Chesed with number value 31, also prescribes them because the 10-tree has 127 triangles, where 127 is the 31st prime number. EHYEH ("I am"), the Godname of Kether wiith number value 21, prescribes the 10-tree because 21 Sephirothic levels are on each side pillar of it.
Each of the 10 whorls spirals five times around the axis of the UPA. Each revolution of the 10 whorls comprises 3360 helical turns (1st-order spirillae), 336 per whorl. An outer or inner half-revolution of a whorl comprises 168 turns and a quarter-revolution comprises 84 turns.
84 = 12 + 32 + 52 + 72.
336 = 42 + 82 + 162 = 22×84
Divided into their sectors, the (70+70) polygons enfolded
in 10 overlapping Trees of Life are composed of 3360 points, lines & triangles that are
unshared with the outer Trees (shared geometrical elements are coloured green). Each set of (7+7)
enfolded polygons has (168+168=336) geometrical elements that
are unshared with its outer Tree of Life.
16800 yods surround the centre of the 7-pointed star
Superstring theory requires the symmetry group of the unified interaction between heterotic superstrings to be either SO(32) or E8×E8, both with dimension 496. In the latter case, heterotic superstrings of ordinary matter have a unified force that is described by the symmetry group E8 with dimension 248.
There are 248 hexagonal yods in a square with 2nd-order tetractyses as its sectors. Each yod symbolizes a root of E8, the rank-8 exceptional group.
The square also provides an arithmetic representation of the dimension 496 of the two possible superstring symmetry groups SO(32) & E8×E8:
There are 248 yods below the top of the 1-tree with its triangles turned into Type A triangles. The eight yods outside the 1-tree denote the eight simple roots of E8 and the 240 yods other than Sephiroth denote its 240 roots.
It is no coincidence that sacred geometries reproduce the 720:240:720 pattern in the vertices & edges in the compound of two 600-cells that is the Petrie projection of the 421 polytope. Rather, what is appearing in the polychorons is a universal archetype that is embodied in ancient sacred geometries and which manifests in space-time as the whorls making up the UPA/subquark superstring.
Correspondence between the geometrical or yod compositions of the first four Platonic solids,
the disdyakis triacontahedron, the inner & outer Trees of Life and the inner form of the 10-tree
The sum of the 70 odd integers after 1 assigned to the 70 yods of the Tree of Life = 5040. This is the number of turns in the three helical major whorls of the UPA/subquark superstring. It is the sum of the first 40 odd integers after 1 (blue) assigned to the 40 yods outside the (red) Lower Face and the next 30 odd integers 83-141 (green) assigned to the 30 yods in the Lower Face.
The subquark state of the E8×E8 heterotic superstring remote-viewed by the Theosophists Annie Besant & C.W. Leadbeater over a century ago consists of 10 closed curves, or "whorls." They bear a correspondence to the 10 Sephiroth of the Tree of Life. The three major whorls correspond to the Supernal Triad and the seven minor whorls are the counterpart of the seven Sephiroth of Construction. Each whorl is a helix with 1680 circular turns. The three major whorls have (3×1680=5040) turns.
Sacred-geometrical embodiment of 504 & 5040
Type C dodecagon
Disdyakis triacontahedron
Each edge and each side of a sector in the green faces of the disdyakis triacontahedron are sides of internal grey triangles with the centre of the polyhedron as their shared corner. The (180+360=540) internal triangles have (540×3=1620) sectors with (60 + 120 + 540×3 = 1800) internal sides & 540 internal corners surrounding the centre, i.e., 3960 geometrical elements. The number of geometrical elements in the faces and interior that surround the axis = 1080 + 3960 = 5040. They include 1680 elements (red cells) either in the faces (1080) or sides (600) of sectors of internal triangles created by the edges of the disdyakis triacontahedron, leaving 3360 elements (1680 elements in each half of the polyhedron).* This is the polyhedral counterpart of the 1680 helical turns in the first major whorl and the 3360 turns in the second & third major whorls.
* Alternatively, surrounding the axis are 1680
geometrical elements comprising 180 corners of sectors in the faces, 180 edges & 1320
geometrical elements in the internal triangles created by edges. This totals 1680 elements, leaving
3360 elements.
3-dimensional projection of a rotating 24-cell
3-dimensional projection
The 240 vertices of the 421 polytope coincide with the positions of the 240 roots of E8, the rank-8, exceptional Lie group. This polytope is a compound of two 600-cells. The 120 vertices of a 600-cell can be partitioned into those of five disjoint 24-cells. As each vertex defines one of the 240 root vectors of E8, there is a geometrical basis for dividing its 240 gauge charges into 10 sets of 24. The outer half of the UPA is the counterpart of one 600-cell, the 120 gauge charges denoted by the 120 vertices of the five 24-cells being spread out along the five half-revolutions of the 10 whorls in the outer half. The inner half of the UPA is the counterpart of the other 600-cell. The 2½ revolutions (five half-revolutions) of the whorls that make up each half are the counterpart of the five 24-cells in each 600-cell. The 840 vertices & edges in each 600-cell are the geometrical counterpart of the 840 circular turns in the five half-revolutions of the outer or inner half of each helical whorl. The 1680 vertices & edges belonging to the compound of two 600-cells in the Gosset polytope are the counterpart of the 1680 circular turns in each helical whorl of the UPA. 70 turns "carry" an E8 gauge charge: 1680 = 24×70.
This correlation is irrefutable evidence that the UPA paranormally described over a century ago is a state of the E8×E8 heterotic superstring (see Article 62 for more details).

November 23, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew says it will be "dangerous" and "reckless" for Congress to pass an October deadline without raising the government's borrowing limit.
Lew said Sunday that on Oct. 17 the government will lose the capacity to borrow because he will have exhausted all the extraordinary measures he has been using since May to free up room for more borrowing. He said the government has never before lost its borrowing ability.
In a CNN interview, Lew said that the government will have about $30 billion of cash on hand, but he said this was not a "responsible amount of cash to run the government on."
He called on Congress to raise the $16.7 trillion borrowing limit before the deadline to avoid damage to the government's credit standing.

No Bad News for the King: The True Story of Cyclone Nargis and Its Aftermath in Burma (Paperback)
An incisive, unprecedented report on life inside Burma from the author of Finding George Orwell in Burma
On May 2, 2008, an enormous tropical cyclone made landfall in Burma, wreaking untold havoc and killing more than 138,000 people. In No Bad News for the King, Emma Larkin, a Westerner who has been traveling to and secretly reporting on Burma for years, uses her extraordinary access and intimate understanding of the Burmese people to deliver a beautifully written and stunningly reported story that has never been told before. Chronicling the tragedy that unfolded in the chaotic days and months that followed the storm, she also examines the secretive politics of Burma's military dictatorship, a regime that relies on vicious military force and a bizarre combination of religion and mysticism to rule the country.
About the Author
Emma Larkin is the pseudonym for an American journalist who was born and raised in Asia, studied the Burmese language at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, and covers Asia widely in her journalism from her base in Bangkok.

Calorie Blocker
Our Calorie Blocker Formula of five weight
loss helpers guarantees to put you on the fast track to losing pounds! This
exclusive all natural formula has the amazing ability to actually block
starch, sugar, fat, and calories while at the same time helping your body
burn calories faster! If you want to feel good about your body once again
and lose weight... then our Calorie Blocker Formula it is the natural weight
loss partner you need.
Here's what makes our Calorie Blocker Formula work!
Chitosan... Chitosan is a dietary fiber
derived from chitin which is make from the shells of shellfish. Chitosan is
typically found in dietary supplements for reducing cholesterol levels and
promoting weight loss. Because chitosan is a positively charged compound, it
is able to attract and bind to fatty acids (which carry a negative charge).
As such, chitosan can absorb up to 4-6 times its weight in fat (including
cholesterol) and prevent that fat from being absorbed into
the body. Chitosan reduces fat absorption, lowers cholesterol levels, and
promotes weight loss.
Gymnema Sylvestre...
Gymnema is a plant used medicinally in India and Southeast Asia for
treatment of "sweet urine" or what we refer to in the West as diabetes or
hyperglycemia. The hypoglycemic (blood sugar lowering) effect of gymnema has
been known for centuries. Gymnema Sylvestre has been shown to reduce blood
sugar and cholesterol levels in humans and may provide some benefits in
terms of regulating appetite control and food cravings. Gymnema reduces
blood sugar levels, lowers blood cholesterol levels, balances insulin
levels, and promotes weight loss.
Citrin (Garcinea Cambogia)...
Hydroxycitric acid is the active ingredient
extracted from the rind of a little pumpkin-like fruit, Garcinia Cambogia,
from India and Southeast Asia. Dietary supplements and a wide variety of
weight loss formulas, contain Garcinia extract to inhibit fat production and
suppress appetite. A number of products include extracts (about 50% HCA
under the brand names Citrin (Sabinsa) and CitriMax (Inter Health) and a new
one called Regulator is a 98% pure potassium HCA from a small Irish
supplement company. HCA can inhibit an enzyme in cells, citrate lyase, which
is needed for the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. Garcinia Cambogia
promotes weight loss, suppresses appetite, reduces blood lipids, increases
fat oxidation/mobilization, promotes glycogen synthesis, and increases
energy levels.
Phaseolamin... Phaseolamin is
an exclusive, all-natural nutritional ingredient extracted from white kidney
beans, "neutralizes" the digestive enzyme alpha amylase before it can
convert starch into glucose and then fat. Essentially, it allows the
carbohydrates to pass through the system possibly with less caloric intake.
It is the first nutritional ingredient that has been clinically &
scientifically proven to neutralize starch, found in in your favorite foods
such as potatoes, pizza, breads, pasta. rice, corn and crackers. Phaseolamin
is a safe yet powerful nutritional ingredient, clinically studied to reduce
the absorption of starch calories. Phaseolamin allows you to enjoy those
foods that you love without all the calories. Recent research has shown the
optimum time to take Phaseolamin is just before a starch-rich meal along
with 8 oz of water.
