Update: As of July 20, 2014, the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card no longer offers the 7% annual points dividend. View the current sign up offer here.
Back in September I blogged that Chase had confirmed to me that the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card sign-up bonus of 50,000 points would indeed count towards the yearly 7% dividend, which is a nice perk of the card. And lo and behold, I just got my dividend summary and the 50,000 points were included – plus points that a friend had transferred to me from her Freedom account (which is another great perk of pairing up the quarterly 5x earning bonuses of the Freedom with the great redemption and transfer partners of the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card). I also got credit for the 2,500 free Stamps.com and 4,500 point Pitney Bowes deals.
The points aren't yet in my account, but I assume that's because my January statements already closed, so they will be included on my February statement.
Overall, I think the 7% annual dividend on all points earned is a pretty great benefit, especially since a ton of my points were earned by the 2x travel and dining- essentially allowing me to earn 2.14 points per dollar spent in those categories. This little bonus will help me top up my Continental balance so I can book a Virgin Atlantic award before that option ceases to exist after February 13, 2012!

Florida running back Chris Rainey (1) runs past Tennessee defensive lineman Jacques Smith during the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Sept. 17, 2011, in Gainesville, Fla. (AP Photo/John Raoux)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WVLT/AP) -- Chris Rainey had 233 total yards, including an 83-yard touchdown catch, and No. 16 Florida beat rival Tennessee 33-23 Saturday and extended two decades of dominance in the Southeastern Conference series.
Rainey finished with 108 yards rushing, 104 yards receiving and blocked a punt that led to a field goal. His touchdown pretty much sealed it, allowing the Gators (3-0, 1-0) to push their winning streak in the series to seven games.
Florida has won 16 of 22 since the Eastern Division teams started playing annually in 1990. The Volunteers (2-1, 0-1) had hoped to end the streak with quarterback Tyler Bray, but it ended with another Florida celebration in the Swamp.
Rainey and a swarming defense had a lot to do with this one.

Kandi is having yet another conversation with Mama Joyce, asking her to please stop trying to ruin her life. I notice that Mama Joyce is wearing the same clogs she tried to launch at Carmon at the bridal shop, so my hopes aren't high. The conversation starts with some lies – Mama Joyce saying the OLG "were really joking" about their hurtful comments last week, and further, that Carmon was talking about "whipping [her] ass" – before Kandi finally calls her mom's bluff and says she's not picking sides, but she's being irrational about not letting her live her own life.
After seeming to imply she's "through" with her own daughter, Mama Joyce final comes around to hiss, "I'm washing my hands of your relationship and I'm going to do my best to stay completely out of it. If Todd makes you happy, I'm happy." This may sound like a cooperative thing to say, but I think I can explain the way she says it best by telling you that my roommate, who does not watch this show, walked through the room just in time to hear only this line and said, "Oh, is that woman totally crazy?"
It's time for the ladies to head to Savannah and Nene has arranged a brunch at her neighborhood club before they head out. Mynique and Kenya arrive promptly at 11:00 a.m., Cynthia gets there at 12:00, Porsha a little later, Kandi at 1:45 and Phaedra at 2:00. Kenya is frustrated with the tardiness from the beginning and is doing everything she can to get Nene turned up about it too. With each late arrival, Nene gets more and more frustrated with the disrespect her friends are showing, especially considering the Driveway Dinner from Hell in LA last season. I know that it's annoying to get scolded as soon as you arrive somewhere, but the excuses these women pull out for being over an hour late, instead of just apologizing, are absurd. Nene gets upset, leaves for a while to center herself, and returns to get everyone on the bus.
I get that Kenya would be annoyed that she had to wait for three hours on women who were disrespecting her time, I really do. What I cannot understand is why she thinks it's her place to storm onto Nene's bus (who has made her frustrations clear and gotten over it) and start screaming about not liking "to wait on bitches" and telling everyone about the way the trip is going to go from here on out. Kenya, WHAT are you doing? You know you're going to have to be on a bus with these people for the next three hours! What positive outcome could this possibly bring? Kandi tells her she can try talking to them calmly and when that is clearly not an option, finally snaps, with things getting heated just as the episode ends. Real Housewife trips are just the keenest!
Most Valuable Housewife: I already gave Cynthia her due, so I have to say Gregg, who was the ultimate housewife for Nene's pre-trip brunch, bringing her a basket of champagne and liquor and waiting curbside to take the ladies' luggage in a seersucker suit (can you call it a suit if it's shorts and a blazer?).
Next Week: Apparently, Mynique might not serve as the calm presence she originally seemed to be.
Porsha Eardrum Shattering Threat Level: Red.

The character first appeared onscreen in 1918, but didn't find his ideal interpreter until Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller donned the loin cloth in W.S.

Nick Van Sicklen
Executive Digital Director, FoodandWine.com &
American Express Publishing
Age: 29
Takeaway:Within a year at American Express Publishing, Nick Van Sicklen has been responsible for a year-to-date 52 percent increase in digital ad sales, adding 20 new advertisers. That success led to his current, newly-created position of executive digital director of both Food & Wine and Travel + Leisure.
Nick Van Sicklen has only been at American Express Publishing for just over a year and he's already made his mark. After boosting ad revenues for Food & Wine's digital assets by 52 percent, he was promoted to a newly created position that oversees digital sales for Food & Wine and Travel + Leisure—including the websites, email, social and mobile. Central to his success have been programs that leverage content along with branding.
Key campaign wins include a program for Royal Caribbean International, which ran video content across both FoodandWine.com and TravelandLeisure.com as well as some Time Inc. brands (the two companies share some ad sales efforts across brands). The program featured culinary experts selected by Food & Wine partnered with on-board Royal Caribbean chefs and was the first time the brand blended its content with that of an advertiser's in a video format.
Van Sicklen also oversaw the development of a cocktail app in partnership with Belvedere Vodka that features 400 cocktail recipes and to date has had more than 100,000 downloads.
Content has become a core element of Van Sicklen's approach to sales—a keen observation in today's media world where brands are increasingly interested in integrated programs that leverage content, rather than simple branding. "Our editors say it best," says Van Sicklen. "We have a ton of content and create it in different ways and push it out in different ways to speak to our audience."
Digital, however, is becoming the core platform from which broader programs are often centered on. "We're starting to see online drive offline and many more integrated programs that use both," he says.

5, 4, 3, 2....
First: I've uploaded the first three books in the My Blood Approves series and Switched up to Smashwords. So people who have a Nook or other ereaders can read all the books in the series. I'll get Wisdom up on Sunday on Smashwords too.
If you're interested in Smashwords, check it out: here.
I've also revamped the covers, for no apparent reason, and the new covers are up on Amazon now. Well, they should be. Soon.
Also - the giveaway ends at Midnight tonight, so that's 22 hours left. If you haven't entered, it's pretty much your last chance to win all 4 books in the My Blood Approves series in paperback. It's a good deal. So enter!
Okay - now onto the important business. I've been getting lots of questions about when Wisdom will be out and why it's not available for pre-order and if it will be out in Kindle the same day as paperback. Here are the answers:
Wisdom will be out in Kindle the same day as paperback.
It's not up for pre-order because of how I publish books - meaning I do it myself and I don't have a publishing company setting the release with a timer with Amazon.
Which brings us to the final question: When will be Wisdom be released?
I've been touting August 22nd as the release date, but really, that's the latest it will be available. I don't have tons of control about when Amazon decides to put it live. I upload it, and they tell me it takes 24-48 hours.
When I released Switched in July, it took 12 hours for it to go live. Wisdom is all ready to go, uploaded and sitting on Amazon. I'll click the publish button later today, and then anytime between Friday night and Sunday morning, Wisdom will be out.
So, if you're a really zealous reader, you can check Amazon this weekend, and it might be up sooner. If you have other things going on, I can guarantee that Wisdom will be up Sunday at the latest.
Also, if you do check and happen to notice that Wisdom is on Amazon, and I haven't said anything yet, can you please let me know? I'll be checking all weekend for its status so I can let you guys know as soon as its up, but sometimes I miss things.
And on a similar note, I'd like to say that I'd really enjoy it if you bought Wisdom this weekend. I have a feeling that I can get in the top 100 books on Kindle with it, and I'd like to be in the top 100.
But that's just a me thing, and you all feel free to buy things whenever you want. I'm grateful to everyone of you buying my books, and I hope that you continue to enjoy the series as much as you have so far.
Thanks guys, and I really can't wait to hear you all think of Wisdom. :)

i cant find wisdom on the kindleReplyDelete
I loved "Switched" and "Torn" and cannot wait to read Ascend on the 24th. I started reading "The My Blood Approves Series", because I loved "The Trylle Series". I've read some spoilers for Ascend that's what a junkie I am. I love Peter more than Jack, but that's just me. I am going to read Wisdom today, which makes 4in4days for me. Usually I'm bored or hoping the author is wrapping up by this point in a series, but I am still in love and cannot wait to read Wisdom and more.... On that note did I say I love Peter for Alice? I feel like Jack interfered with their destiny and that if life provides that kind of connection for two people that there is a reason it was meant to be, that they are good for each other in some way. I'd like to see something like the bond being restored without much trouble (Maybe Jack will meet his own destiny), like it was always there just being tampered with.ReplyDelete
Team Jack!!!! I luv Jack he is soooo cool I luv how Amanda hocking made it like they were in the 80 s but they aren'tReplyDeleteReplies
when will Swear be out??? I wanna read it!!! luved the other 4 the 2 nd book was my faveDelete

Zumba- the most fun you can have at the gym!
Friday, March 8, 2013
Like to dance? Looking to get in shape or change up your cardio workout? Ever heard of Zumba? Zumba is an energetic dance class where participants are able to let loose and have fun! I took a Zumba class a few days ago after a two-year hiatus of zumba-ing and I honestly forgot how much fun it was! The dance moves are relatively simple but fast paced to get your heartbeat going. Most of the music is top-40's hits that you can sing along to if you want to make the most of the experience. It's a one-hour class of dancing to the beat in a room of 30+ people doing the same thing. It's one giant party led by a peppy instructor! The moves are relatively easy and repetitive so that everyone can get the hang of them. When the more difficult moves break out, I usually actually get a better workout working my abs with laughter while trying to stay with the beat. Lucky for UNH students, the Whittemore Center offers free Zumba classes every day in the Hamel Rec Center's studio. Classes are offered Mondays 4:45-5:30pm, Tuesdays 7:45-8:30pm and 8:30-9:15pm, Wednesdays 6-6:45pm, Thursday 8-8:45pm, Fridays 3:30-4:15pm, Saturdays 12:45-1:45pm, and Sundays 5:00-6:00pm. Check out the full aerobic class schedule here. With a class every day of the week, there's no excuse to not give Zumba a try! And don't think the class is limited to women—the last class I took had about five guys getting their groove on! Try Zumba and you are guaranteed to have a good time.

Public at Large Apparently Losing Interest in Googling Computers
While poking about Google Trends, Alexis Madrigal of The Atlantic stumbled across a particularly eye-catching chart. It's the visual for Google's Computers & Electronics Index, a.k.a. how often people search for computer-related terms like Windows, Mac, HP, Dell, and Sony. Let's just say there's a definite trajectory here, and it sure looks like it's towards the dustbin of history: Read More

With the aid of modern printing technology and computer typesetting, book publishers are able to produce well-illustrated mass-produced publications of a high technical quality. Although there are various strands evident in contemporary publishing, it is nevertheless possible to see a continuum from letterpress printing, through computer typesetting, to electronic publication on CD-ROM or the internet.
Innovations in mainstream publishing coincide with an upsurge in the production of "book art", "book works" and "artists' books", many of which are either unique or available only in limited editions. The National Art Library contains many objects which experiment with the form, content and direction of the book, and this display is based upon material from the Library's collections.

A third-year point guard, Shaun Livingston is considered the future of the Clippers' organization and has been compared to some of the game's great floor generals because of his size and uncanny court vision. However, he has battled injuries and inconsistent play during his young career. And it got worse on Tuesday as charging to the basket on a fast break, Livingston took an awkward step and dislocated his knee cap with 8:10 left in the first quarter. The Clippers' team doctor popped the knee back into place on the court, and Livingston was taken off the court on a stretcher. He went directly to the hospital to undergo tests.
Without Livingston, Los Angeles shared the ball well and were led by Maggette, who shot just three-of-nine from the field but hit 19-of-20 from the free-throw line.
Knicks spoil Shaq's party
Eddy Curry also collected 28 points and 11 rebounds and Jamal Crawford added 20 points for the New Yorkers, who have won six straight games at home.
Marbury gave the Knicks the lead for good with a neat layup over Heat reserve centre Alonzo Mourning to make it 87-86 with four minutes left. However, Crawford put the game out of reach in the waning seconds. After reserve forward Malik Rose drove the lane and had his pass deflected, the ball caromed in the right corner to Crawford, who nailed a three-pointer to make it 97-93 with 21 seconds remaining. Marbury shot seven-of-12 from the field, including three-of-six from the arc, and Curry was nine-of-17 from the floor and 10-of-13 from the line for New York, which shot 43 percent (31-of-72). Jason Kapono scored 24 points for the Heat, who shot 49 percent (40-of-81). Miami fell to 1-2 since star Dwyane Wade dislocated his left shoulder last Wednesday.
Mavs cage Hawks There were more injury concerns in Dallas as Josh Howard scored 20 points before leaving the game with an ankle injury in his sides 110-87 win over the Atlanta Hawks.Jason Terry also added 21 as the Mavericks just had too much offence for the Hawks and posted their 20th straight home win and 12th straight victory overall. Dallas now has its third streak of at least 12 straight wins this season and is 27-3 at American Airlines Center. Howard scored five points in a 13-4 run that gave the Mavericks a 40-27 lead with 8:12 left in the second quarter. Terry scored six points and Howard added four in a 13-3 run in the third quarter that opened the Dallas lead up to 75-52 with 5:16 to go. Howard left the game with 6:11 to play after injuring his right ankle when he landed on the foot of All-Star Joe Johnson after taking a jump shot.
Howard had to be helped from the court and did not return. Superstar forward Dirk Nowitzki had 27 points and Jerry Stackhouse added 19 and nine assists off the bench for Dallas. Johnson scored 29 points and Zaza Pachulia had 24 for Atlanta.

Contact your state legislators TODAY!
April 12 was the deadline for all legislation to pass out of the committee in its chamber of origin, absent an exception. Several pro- and anti-gun bills will be continuing to move unless they fail to pass by the next legislative deadline on Tuesday, April 23. Please call AND e-mail your state legislators urging them to SUPPORT the pro-gun bills and OPPOSE the anti-gun bills listed below. Contact information for your state Senator and Assemblyman can be found here.
Pro-Gun legislation still moving:
Senate Bill 76 passed in the state Senate unanimously on March 4. Under this bill, a CCW applicant would only have to qualify with one handgun. Current law requires that CCW applicants qualify with both a semi-automatic pistol and a revolver, should they wish to carry both kinds of handguns. SB 76 has been referred to the Assembly Judiciary Committee.
Assembly Bill 195 helps to streamline CCW renewals by allowing a person to apply at any time before the CCW permit expires.
Anti-Gun legislation still moving:
Senate Bill 221 makes revisions to Nevada law regarding mental health in addition to requiring background checks on private party transfers. An individual who fails to comply with the new background check transfer requirements would be prohibited from possessing a firearm for a period of two years after being found guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
Senate Bill 277 makes revisions to the Nevada law regarding mental health and firearms. This bill attaches a disability to a person based on the mere filing of a petition, offering no before-the-fact due process.
Anti-gun bills defeated for the 2013 legislative session:
Senate Bill 396 bans so-called "assault weapons," magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds and possession of certain types of ammunition. Further, this bill requires background checks on private party transfers of firearms.
Assembly Bill 234 imposes punitive excise taxes on firearms and ammunition as well as banning the possession of certain types of ammunition and requiring background checks on private party transfers.
Pro-gun bills defeated for this year:
Senate Bill 137 provides for permitless carry of a concealed firearm.
Senate Bill 223 allows for concealed carry of firearms by school employees.
Assembly Bill 70 extends Castle Doctrine to include vehicles.
Assembly Bill 143 allows for concealed carry licensees to carry on higher education campuses.
Assembly Bill 340 strengthens existing firearms preemption laws to remove previously grandfathered local ordinances.

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a family counseling instrument that measures maternal spiritual characteristics. Particularly, the instrument aims to measure three domains of spirituality namely, Maternal Piety, Mercy and Accountability. These characteristics are considered as the characteristics for functional Muslim mothers. The study is designed into three phases. The first phase is a pilot study of a focus group from an Islamic Integrated Primary School (IIPS). In this phase, Cronbach's alpha is employed to assess the reliability index. Accordingly, Principle Component Analysis is employed to explore the underlying dimensions of Maternal Piety, Mercy and Accountability. The second phase is an ex-post facto study that involved 12 IIPS in the Klang Valley of Malaysia. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is utilized to examine the construct validity of the instrument. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used to investigate the relationship between maternal spiritual characteristics and mother-child attachment as supporting evidence for the criterion-related validity. The third phase was a cross-sectional study that involved 1000 students (age 13-17) from various secondary schools (inclusive of religious and non religious schools) of 4 states in Malaysia. In this phase, multistage cluster sampling technique is employed to select 200 students from each age group of Form 1,2,3,4 and 5. The results provide evidence that the instrument has sound psychometrics properties. This instrument has succeeded the standard Cronbach's alpha > .70 for internal consistency and proportion variance explained > 50 % for the dimensions of Maternal Piety , Mercy and Accountability . The goodness-of -fit measures GFI, AGFI, IFI, TLI, and CFI > .90 and RMSEA < .08 are evidences for construct validity. Moreover, the criterion-related validity is supported with the findings of significant positive relationship between maternal spiritual characteristics and mother-child attachment. In short, Maternal Spiritual Characteristics Scales (MSCS) is a reliable and valid instrument. Hence, it may be used for the assessment in family counseling and other related studies.

As the increasing demand for mobile phone jammer, cautious people are wondering whether it will perform just as manufacturers committed in ads and specifications, and whether it will affect our health. Here is what I find to answering those questions.
Mobile phone jammer shielding range correlated with the shielding electromagnetic field strong field and the distance from the telegraph station on. Generally 200 meters away is the best. Manufacturers are testing the general case, so there is a little difference of the range of shielding. As for the radiation, any electrical equipment will have radiation. As we usually use the phone every day, next to your ear inevitable radiation, mobile phone radiation countries to set up a standard, and the radiation of mobile phone signal jammer is below the national standard, what's more, you won't rely mobile phone jammer on your ear all day long, so there is almost no harm to the human body.
Before you buy mobile phone signal jammers, it's good for you to understand various knowledge that you may need to know.

My husband and I had been talking about renting a villa somewhere in France during our kids' summer vacation. Then, at a cocktail party, a friend mentioned that she and her family had just been to Corsica. Her description of life on this remote French island off the coast of Sardinia was so enchanting that we ended up taking the same rental—the spacious top floor of an old stone house—that she'd had. That was four years ago, and our family has returned every summer since.
We go to Nonza, a village built into a cliff high above the Mediterranean, in Cap Corse, the skinny northern part of the island that looks like an extended index finger—it's known as the mountain in the water because the cliffs burst right out of the sea. Nonza has one café, two restaurants, one boulangerie, one tiny grocery store (if you can call it that), and a post office. Our house is a five-minute walk, on twisting paths, to the town square or place—far enough away that we're not woken by church bells (though we have occasionally been roused by a donkey's brays). The slow pace of life is so soothing after a year spent in New York City, where I work as a photographer, my husband runs a photography agency, and our children, Jules, 10, and Manon, 7, have their own grade-school whirl. In Corsica, we all stay up late, sleep in, and nap in the heat of the day. We buy our food from camionettes, vans that set up shop in the place for about a half-hour every few days. As we pick out fresh tomatoes, peaches, yogurt, cheese, and fish, we chat with the locals, who we now count as friends.
When we're in Nonza, our children have so much more freedom than we can allow them at home. Jules often gets up and goes out to buy our croissants, and Manon walks alone to and from the place, where all the kids congregate. When I'm not around, the villagers automatically look after them—and also make sure they're well-behaved. (Once, a Corsican grandmother sternly reprimanded Jules for bouncing his ball during siesta; he never did that again.) Many of the people who come to Nonza grew up in the village, and they bring their children back every summer (the winter population of 60 swells to about 500, but, miraculously, it never feels crowded, even in August). Manon joins in games of hide-and-seek and trades tattoos that come in packages of bubble gum, while Jules and his pals play barefoot soccer. We all spend afternoons at the beach—down 600 steep stone steps, so we usually drive—or jumping into swimming holes in the nearby river. Needless to say, our kids have become happily immersed in the language and culture here.
If we're feeling adventurous, we head for another of the many villages in Cap Corse, each with its own ancient tower, its slightly different landscape. The roads wind from town to town, with the turquoise sea on one side and the mountains on the other. We stare out at dramatic rock formations that look as though they're about to topple into the ocean. The scent of wild herbsthyme, rosemary, myrtle, and juniperchanges with the terrain. Thankfully, the French government protects much of the area from development; there are no big new hotels or even houses here. And for us that's the main draw: Corsica offers our family the chance, year after year, to step into village life—and to take a dreamy step back in time.

At the risk of giving a creepy Groundhog Day vibe, I must say, yet again, that wine lovers whose view of Australia is based on limited personal experience and the uninformed opinions of othersand who think that this vast continents wines are all outsized, grotesquely alcoholic redsare really missing out. Australia has more than 60 distinct wine regions and it continues to amaze me how many Americans seem to think that they are all suburbs of the Barossa Valley. Once again I implore readers whose preferences run to fruit-driven southern French, southern Italian and garnacha-based Spanish wines, as well as to zinfandels and the more opulent renditions of New World reds, to do some exploring. The same goes for fans of bone-dry riesling (check out western Australia), mineral-driven chardonnay (try any of the cooler regions and especially Mornington Peninsula) and even restrained, elegant pinot noir (made all over Victoria). Sauvignon blanc is also on a steep upward curve in Australia and pricing is usually much gentler than for similar quality from New Zealand.
The U.S. market enjoys unprecedented access to the very best wines Australia produces, by the way: many of the wines represented by the handful of American specialist importers are barely available on their home turf, except at top restaurants, via closed mailing lists or at auction. We are literally spoiled for choice, and it is depressing to watch supposedly adventurous winos refuse even to try the best Australian wines as they follow the herd to the usual watering holesand pay steep tariffs to lap from those pools.
The vintages on offer. In contrast to 2005, 2006 featured one of the latest harvests on record in many regions. The spring was cool across the continent, with instances of frost occurring in the coolest regions, particularly the Adelaide Hills, and the summer was warm, with sporadic heat spikes. Western Australia was particularly cold during the onset of the growing season, causing a much slower buildup of sugar in the grapes than normal. The season progressed so slowly here that the harvest was up to a month later than usual. Most of Victoria also witnessed a very early harvest, up to three weeks earlier than normal. In the Barossa the growing season also began and progressed in promising fashion. A rainy winter set the stage for vigorous but well-paced vine activity and beneficial rains in February helped maintain the pace of ripening. A cold snap and relatively heavy rainfall at the end of March made for a cool conclusion to the season. This resulted in what some producers describe as a normal harvest with average to slightly below average yields. Others aver that vines that were not picked by early April (meaning those watched over by producers who look for maximum sugar levels and ultra-rich character) never fully ripened and often fell victim to assorted late-vintage diseases. Luckily for the McLaren Vale, which Michael Twelftree of Two Hands points out usually ripens up to three weeks ahead of the Barossa, their vines were picked during warm March weather, and the 2006 vintage looks to be outstanding.
Across Australia, 2005 has been hailed as one of the most uniformly excellent on record, drawing comparisons to 2002 and 2004 for its uniformly ripe but balanced and elegant wines, usually made from yields slightly lower than normal. In southeastern Australia, the McLaren Vale had a damp winter, setting the stage for rapid flowering and abundant canopy growth. The growing season was a bit cooler than normal, with an absence of heat spikes and a smooth ride into a pain-free harvest that occurred up to two weeks earlier than normal. The Adelaide Plains and Adelaide Foothills enjoyed similar conditions, overall, and the resulting wines are living up to their promise. The Barossa Valley took in a healthy crop of mostly high-acid, low- pH grapes under perfect harvest conditions following a smooth, relatively cool growing season, not unlike that of McLaren Vale. Coonawarra also enjoyed a warm, dry season and harvested under similar conditions, and most of Victoria profited from a summer of warm days and cool nights, with slightly above-average warmth, leading to a picture-perfect harvest. Vintages 05 and 06 provide further reason to investigate this vast category of wine that defies stereotyping.
I tasted the following wines in New York in May and June and will publish notes on many more Australian wines in the next issue of the IWC.

Ruby Mae knew something wasn't right.
During an early morning walk with her owner Leslie Green, of Port Huron, Michigan, the dog made a beeline for a neighbor's porch. There, an hours-old infant – with his umbilical cord still attached – was wrapped in bloody towels, just waiting for someone to help.
"She wanted me to go up [to the porch]," Green told Detroit's WDIV news. "So I get up there and I see this little dinky face, and I was freaked out."
Police told the local news station that the dog spotted the baby just in time: Had he been left outside any longer, the infant likely would not have survived.
Purr-fect is the best way to describe Craig Armstrong's unique mountain-climbing partner.
He adopted the stunning black feline named Millie from an animal shelter in Park City, Utah, and she is all he ever wanted in a sidekick.
"I go on a lot of weekend climbing adventures. I always figured when I have a pet friend, I'll take her with me," Armstrong tells Bored Panda. "It never seemed odd to me, just seems like something I'd do with my pet, take her places."

Ah, mothers: They're there for you when you need advice, a meatloaf recipe or, you know, a lift from the side of a busy highway.
Likewise, a baby bear got some much-needed help from Mom after the cutie nearly faced traffic near Kootenay National Park in Canada.
The mama bear comes to the rescue, reaching over the barrier to swoop up her little one in her mouth, reports FOX 59. She even manages with another cub by her side – motherhood, after all, is the ultimate balancing act.

Igor's family was leaving on a jet plane to Thailand. They knew when they'd be back again, but the poor little bulldog didn't.
So the patriarch of the family, from Lillestrom, Norway, decided to do something extra special for their adorable bulldog, who waited for them at a kennel while they vacationed.
He brought home to Igor.
In this YouTube video uploaded by a paint supply company, Igor's dad, Kai, secretly transforms a dog kennel into a little slice of home – complete with the family's couch, pillows and pictures lovingly placed throughout – so the pooch will be comforted by familiarity while he's temporarily living at his home away from home.
Now here's a question we're sure nobody's asked Tara, the cat who has been applauded the world over for saving a 4-year-old boy from a vicious dog: Have you ever considered an acting career?
Basically, 1990 was a big year for cats. Paula Abdul danced with MC Skat Kat in her popular music video for "Opposites Attract," her dance jam that hit No. 1 in February, and Janet Jackson sang about a hard-living "Black Cat."
And then, of course, Poppy the cat was born.
Twenty-four years later, the elderly kitty from Bournemouth, England, has become a superstar in her own right: She's been named the oldest living feline by Guinness World Records following the death last year of 23-year-old Pinky the cat from Kansas.
What's her secret to longevity? A solid diet and lots of exercise says her owner, accountant Jacqui West, who also shares her home with four other felines, two rabbits and a hamster.
Cindy Koch has met her perfect match.
The Nebraska woman has fallen for a 3-year-old pit bull, who is deaf just like her.
According to California's KTLA news, Rosie the dog had a rough time finding a forever home since dogs with disabilities can often be overlooked at animal shelters. So, as she waited to meet her match, workers at the Humane Society in Aurora, Nebraska, taught her sign language.
A tiny Chihuahua got into big trouble on Friday.
California Highway Patrol officer Alex Edmon told NBC's Bay Area affiliate that officers received a call about a small dog sitting atop a concrete divider on busy Interstate Highway 680 in Walnut Creek, California, during rush hour. When Edmon, a dog lover, and his partner arrived at the scene they did their best to rescue the pooch and later Tweeted a photo of their effort.
"We attempted to coax it, we could tell it was very frightened, it was shaking – we were able to pet it a little bit, but other than that we could tell it was not happy," Edmon said.
In the weeks since his beloved cat disappeared, Justin Beswick has been anxious and his speech has deteriorated.
Doctors believe the 19-year-old, who was diagnosed with a degenerative disease nearly four years ago, has just 18 months to live and his mother, Tania Huxtable, is desperate to get the cat back.
According to Australia's The Advertiser, the fluffy indoor feline named Oreo disappeared on April 18 from the family's home in Adelaide. Huxtable says she has hired a pet detective, posted signs and walked door-to-door in her neighborhood in an effort to find the ragdoll cat that means so much to her son, whose brain and spinal cord function are deteriorating due to juvenile Leukodystrophy.
Like so many people, Luke Robinson has been touched by cancer more times than he would care to remember.
In 2008, after his dog Malcolm died of metastatic bone cancer, the former businessman and his two other pups, Murphy and Hudson, embarked on a 2,300-mile journey that took them two years and helped raise funds and awareness for canine cancer. When they arrived in Boston from Austin on their final mile of the trek, Robinson noticed Murphy had a snotty nose.
"We just thought, 'Well, it's been a long journey,'" he tells PEOPLE. Sadly, it was a sign of something much more serious.

text: These bracelets are apparently all the range in the 9 and under age bracket. There seems to be trading, hoarding, and collecting going on in both genders, and on every playground. Hibbet Sports in Decatur is rumored to have them, but sell out as quickly as they arrive, so we looked online tonight to see if these little treasurers were available that way. And, did we luck out-check them out here. My husband thinks they are silly, but I remember friendship bracelets and pins, jelly bracelets, and swatch watches, and how I couldn't WAIT to have some of my VERY OWN. So, we might be spending a little allowance money on these little treasures. Anyone else?

Coconut Custard Pie
Wednesday, November 30, 2011
My baby brother, Cullen, turned 24 yesterday. To celebrate, I took him to see The Muppets Movie and made him this Coconut Custard Pie. Although my brother eats both gluten and tofu, I have certain rules when it comes to cooking and baking. Besides the obvious(only making foods that are vegan), I will only make gluten-free and tofu-free food, as well. Even after being vegan for over 6 years, tofu still freaks me out, what can I say?
It's pretty difficult to find vegan and tofu-free coconut custard recipes. After searching online for probably two hours, I decided to alter the Old-Fashioned Chocolate Pudding Pie from Vegan Pie In The Sky. Cullen said it was his most favorite dessert I ever made. I'm sure the extra ingredient of love made it a little more special ;)
Coconut Custard Pie
adapted from Vegan Pie In The Sky
Cookie Crumb Crust:
1 3/4 cups finely ground cookies (I used gluten-free gingerbread cookies!)
3 tbsp vegan sugar
1/4 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine ground cookies, sugar, and coconut. Add in the coconut oil and mix together until the dry mixture is completely damp and begins to clump. Add in the almond milk and mix thoroughly until mixture is evenly damp and consistent in texture. Press into greased pie pan and bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool on counter for a half hour. If the bottom still looks a bit damp, place in refrigerator for an additional 15 minutes to a half hour, or until firm.
Toast coconut:
1/2 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread coconut overtop. Place in preheated oven for 5-6 minutes, opening the oven every 2 minutes to stir. Remove from oven when coconut is lightly brown.
Coconut Custard:
3 cups full-fat coconut milk(about 1 and a half cans)
2/3 cup vegan sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup arrowroot starch
1/4 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup toasted coconut, divided
1 tsp vanilla extract
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Use a whisk and continuously stir until sugar granules have melted. Add in arrowroot starch and continue to whisk until the mixture begins to bubble. Reduce heat to low-medium and keep whisking until the mixture has thickened significantly(about 15-20 minutes). Add in the the shredded coconut and 1/4 cup of the toasted coconut, stirring until the mixture thickens even more. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour into prepared pie crust and top with the remainder of the toasted coconut. Chill in refrigerator overnight.

Deeeelish! That's the next pie on my list of Must Make Now from that book. After I finish tweaking that amazing un-cheesecake, that is . . .ReplyDelete
Also, so happy you live close enough to bake a pie for your brother on his birthday. My siblings live half way across the country.
windycityvegan- thank you! i haven't purchased the book yet, but hopefully i get it for christmas ;)ReplyDelete
and i'm VERY fortunate to have my brother live 20 minutes away. we're very close, so if he lived half way across the country, i'd be very unhappy about that. hopefully you get to see your siblings on holidays?
We're flying back to celebrate the end of Christmas (we arrive that evening) and my daughter's birthday - she was a New Years Day baby. My sister has two daughters, so it is a very festive visit. :)ReplyDelete
that sounds so fun! and it's good that your daughter's birthday can be celebrated with the family, as well ;)ReplyDelete
I am loving the matching sweaters idea! And YES, Caitlin and Cara sounds like the perfect fraternal twins names :) And YES, my middle is Michelle!! hahaha It was meant to be. Now make me a pie :) <--I'm the bossy one.ReplyDelete
caitlin megan and cara michelle! whoa! it was totally meant to be ;) you're the bossy one and i'm the submissive one, ha! i'm gonna go make you the pie now ;)ReplyDelete
Ah, the reversal of roles from real life feels real nice! I'm the youngest in my family so naturally I am the submissive one. I like being bossy, however. Especially if it means I get pie out of the deal :)ReplyDelete
funny, because i'm the bossy older sister in real life, ha!ReplyDelete
Ahh yes, a heavy dose of love will make any recipe instantly taste better. Way to be, sister. I'm not a huge fan of coconut but this dessert looks absolutely delicious, I may have to give it a try. Maybe I'll become a coconut convert afterall.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the great recipe. I'm somewhat new to your blog, but I already really enjoy it :)
tlsc- i'm so glad you really enjoy my blog and are interested in the recipe! if you enjoy, i really hope you love it ;) although, i must say, there is QUITE a lot of coconut in it.. ;)ReplyDelete
I'm amazed there's no tofu in that! Looks amazing!ReplyDelete
thanks, jes!ReplyDelete
i am crazy about coconut and drooling on the computer right now! hahaReplyDelete
alexia! that is QUITE the complement! thank you ;)ReplyDelete
This looks delicious! I'll be trying it soon : )ReplyDelete
you're welcome, jenné, enjoy!ReplyDelete
Wow! So happy I found this recipe. I absolutely love coconut (cream) pie, which is a custard made with milk. My mum & sister make the best. But I have been wondering how to make this favorite of mine without the dairy and not having to use tofu. Bingo! Thank you for sharing your luscious creation. Can't wait to try this. I will probably use a nut crust though to avoid the baking step.ReplyDeleteReplies
i'm so happy you found it! the nut crust is a fantastic idea!Delete
I just can not get to make this coconut cream pie fast as I can. Thanks .EleanorReplyDelete

Glance over to where I was sitting and her eyes were all lit up with a secret message only for me: "Oh yes! These are the guys," they said. As they sat at the table talking, the two men continually bought Kathy and Diane more wine and occasionally took turns dancing with them. I could see both women frequently laughing, it was evident they were both relaxed and having a good time with the two Air Force officers. After awhile, Kathy seemed to forget I was watching and began to warm up to Gary. From my vantage point near the dance floor, I saw Gary softly squeezing Kathy's ass through her short ...

No time tonight guys. I've been fiddling with my new phone (I got the Galaxy s3) all night trying to figure out how to synch photos which brought me down a path of organizing files and fiddling with settings.
Between that and a few admin things with my sites, I've a bit backlogged on the tech side of blogging. I've decided it's time to clean things up and refocus my attention on BlogToLose. I really let it fall to the bottom of the to do while conference planning.
I'm also backlogged on writing for GreenLiteBites and TheUnworldlyTravelers, hoping to knock two posts off during nap time tomorrow.
Today was pretty chill. I didn't do much of anything except take Ryan to a movie and cook dinner, but I'm totally ready to start this week!
I rocked the Unprocessed Challenge today. At least within my definition of unprocessed. I tell you what, regardless of how well I'm doing it sure has me thinking outside the box and realizing how many things are really "processed" in my pantry.
I didn't take a photo of everything but here's the food journal for the day…
Breakfast was a spinach and bacon bit omelet.
Lunch was a little weird but tasty!
That's some fresh cabbage I sautéed up with leftover turkey, kale and black bean taco meat. The taco filling is one of the recipes I have to write up for GreenLiteBites. I made it Friday and got ALL 3 boys to eat super healthy tacos!
Unprocessed snack choice… Chashews!
I shared some with Little Bean while playing. He really likes all nuts. It's nice.
In the afternoon I took Ryan to see Hotel Transylvania –we both enjoyed it by the way– and had some popcorn and unsweetend tea. That's my go to movie snack.
Dinner was a variation of Chicken Tips over mashed potatoes (TOTALLY forgot to take a pic) and some fresh roasted broccoli. You can see my original recipe here but tonight I modified it to be less processed by skipping the soup and using a gravy I thickened with whole wheat flour. Everyone loved it! I may have to post an unprocessed update to that one.
A few minutes ago I had some frozen grapes. I'm trying to avoid the evening snack but my stomach was growling so I decided to choose smart. My stratgegy of using fruit to see if you're REALLY hungry worked. I was pondering what to eat and nothing sounded more satisfying then some sweet frozen grapes. This definitely wasn't a mindless munch.
Ok, I'm off to bed. I made a to do list for myself and my goal for tomorrow is unprocessed and productive. :)
Hope you had a great weekend!
If you enjoyed this article, please consider sharing it!
Useful links...
So why the Galaxy 3 and not iPhone 5? Just curious.
Mostly because I already had a droid and I'm not ready to make the switch, Plus I'm impatient and didn't want to wait. ;)
I got the same phone about a month ago and I LOVE it! But my old phone was 4 years old and there was nothing "smart" about it so this is a huge improvement.
It's always a learning curve when we get a new high tech device! The no processed food challenged sounds like a great idea. It really gets you thinking about what you put in your body.
Have a GREAT week Roni. Roz@weightingfor50

Buffalo, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - The Buffalo Sabres have claimed forward Zenon Konopka off waivers from the Minnesota Wild.
Konopka appeared in 36 games for Minnesota this season before being waived on Thursday. He registered a goal and an assist with 55 penalty minutes for the Wild.
The 33-year-old Ontario native signed with Minnesota as a free agent last July after playing for Ottawa, the New York Islanders, Tampa Bay, Columbus and Anaheim. He has 12 goals with 17 assists for 29 points in 323 career NHL games.

Why Are We Ignored!
I'm kind of irked right now, so if you're not in the mood for a rant, piss off
There are so many good things that have come from INF, but there are many problems too. There are the suggestion forums, and that's all well and good, if the team reads or aknowledge those suggestions. Obviously, this is targeted at Warren's (no longer)weekly update. Warren: It's been 5 months. Seriously. PLEASE TAKE 30 MINUTES AND SAY SOMETHING!!! Why should we waste our breath debating subjects and topics regarding this game if we don't have any confirmation that our pleas are being heard? Why should we stick around? We post our strong beliefs in wanting to see this game get better, we argue for them, bitch and flame, and for what? Nothing.
In other mods, this is often the norm. In Infiltration, there used to be excelent communication both ways about what was happening with INF. You had the roadmap , a very Good Thing. There was InfRadio . The weekly update adressed issues people had with the game, in a timely manner . Now all that is gone. The community has problems, and we turn to you for your support and reassurance the next version is not going to have the gameplay problems we have now. Until communication happens, you will loose out in the end. Every club, community, family, or nation on this earth that did not use communication did not thrive. Those who did, like the Incas, rose to great heights. Please, please, please, please, return to doing the Weekly updates. Repost the roadmap, in any form.
Don't keep the community in the dark. You'll loose out in the end.

Oh, you reminded me of the roadmap. *sniff* I used to gaze longingly at the bullet points, chuckling at the remarkably out of date information, and imagining the game modes it so tantilizingly hinted at.
I think I'm going to cry myself to sleep now. Thanks Keg.

Most of the time the suggestions circling through the forum are ones we've heard before, ones that are obvious or ones we simply don't want.
Suggestions for new weapons(recent offenders being the SG552, P239, SSG3000, M1911A1 and Steyr Scout), mines, NVGs, vehicles and so forth. Such things that are so obviously essential in a mod of this type needen't be said. Why waste time talking about it when we can do it? Some of these things are already planned and have been mentioned in previous forum discussions. To pass over posts on topics that have been cleared before seems to be in one's best interests to save on development time and unneeded stress. I'm quite weary of having to explain why we're not going to implement Duplex/taped mags.
There are posts that we don't even want to respond to (Yes, we can do that. We're only human after all.).
It's not worth the effort trying to reply to posts such as those entitled "Stupid Stupid drum" and "Fix the flipping sights"(which by the way, if we COULD have already fixed we would have.).
Remember, this is not our day job. We're not getting anything for it. We're grateful your support but we simply cannot BE everywhere at once.
It can be downright frustrating having to make rounds at the forums every so often, because the longer we leave it, the more messages crop up. Some members have given up going to the forums entirely because it's just too stressful.
Suggestions that are well and truly good and that we haven't thought of before will be recognised. I garauntee you that we'll never turn a blind eye to the community.
So please, let us do our business the way we must. In whatever the end result may be, you guys will still end up the winners.

What he said. To add to it though, your ideas do get in, if they're good ones. We may not shout it from the rooftops, but that's just because I'm not allowed on the roof anymore. You'll se something in 2.87 that I KNOW you'll like a lot, and it's a strong suggestion of the community, pantaloons.
See if you can guess what it is.

Hm... that may be good in some ways. For instance, surprises. I like surprises.
Only one thing I want to add -- do it right, or don't do it. I see INFiltration being so promising -- such a great team and a great project, if spoiled by some minor bugs when implementing new features, which I think the only one problem existed in previous versions, will be a great pity. New features are exactly what you can show off your talent and creativity. Refining is necessary, but doesn't count as much as new features to the public; when adding something new, don't let new features fail.

Sights that WORK are a basic requirment in any game thats using them, else its all down to guesswork.

Tiffy: The sights will be fixed once we find a way to do it or make a compromise.
Right now the sights will be distorted severely if they're moved any closer to the screen while leaning.
In order to fix the alignment, we must first fix the model's appearance, otherwise we'll have to do the entire bloody thing over and over again.
One ****ing thing at a time damnit.
|30th Oct 2001, 08:30 AM
I'll tell you my take on it...
I could care less. After a release I install my inf, then play, play, and play some more. I post messages at work and play inf at night.
If you, the DEV TEAM want to go 6 months without telling us anything, thats fine with me. I could care less as long as I know you guys are working on it. Its called faith, I have faith you guys will work on it, fix the things that need to be fixed and make the game better each time. I won't take part in the "tell us whats goin on" or "when is v2.xx coming out?!?!?!?!" threads. Other than what I am saying now.
Backoff guys, give the team some room. Have faith in their abilities, their dedication and their goals. They will tell us of important news when there is a need to do so!
Expedience have I chosen here...
|30th Oct 2001, 08:58 AM
Tiffy, a question. Did this mod cost you anything?
No, it didn't, the team produces this mod in their own free time, for your entertainment and their reward is people like you bitching about how it 'isn't good enough'
Yes, it has problems, but it isn't complete, it's a work in progress. Give them a break or don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out
|30th Oct 2001, 09:45 AM
First Shakken
Sorry we appear to be at cross purposes. I realise the sights can't be easily brought back nearer the 'face' that isn't what I was asking in my original thread. The sights for all weapons bar the m9 aren't aligned correctly. The M9 shoots sweet when holding the corredt sight picture but the M16 shoots low and the SIG shots low and left. All I want is the sights aligned so when poor ex-proffesionals pick a weapon up and then aim with the correct sight picture we don't wind up dead due to the sights inaccuracies. I get sick of carefully aiming at some bod whos not even aware of my presence only to miss and be shot from 100m away by the same guy using his weapon from the hip. Call me old fasion if you like but that doesn't happen IRL. If its something that the team is aware of then an acknowledgement would have been nice.
Has the team though of making a list of issues they are aware of, possible with an indication of whether its going to be addressed in the short, long or indefinate period. It would help keep people informed, and an informed camper is a happy camper.
Next G-Fresh
This 'game' has cost me the price of Unreal in hard cash and a considerable amount of my all to little time. I too am giving up MY free time to add my experience and knowledge to this project. If you'd rather I joined the ranks of the great unwashed masses who could give a flying f*** about this mod thats fine by me. Something I do notice about these boards is how few actual real live Soldiers are prepared to post here. People lioke you are usually self appinionated, 'I know all there is', book quoting idiots who would know real life if it came a bit you on your arse.
I am sick and tired of people who think they know better, belittleing people on these boards. This is probably the most hostile and negative BBS I have ever had the misfortune to be involved with and to be quite honest I often question exactly why I should try and help ungreatful little sh1ts like you.
Why don't you do US a favour and don't let the dorr hit you on the arse as YOU leave.

ShakKen: Why set up a system of aknowledging our suggestions that have be *PROCESSED* when it is never taken care of? That's what DarkBLS's job was, to weed out the distressing and/or pointless posts, and only give you guys the good ones. We're curious as to how you are going about fixing problems we encounter, problems that detriment gameplay and teamwork which Warren said expicitly is important to him! You get posts like STUPID STUPID DRUM when people are abusing the system. Posts like the drum post only get there when people play and play and play, suggest and suggest and suggest, and see no reaction from the team, no indication that this is being addressed, or even that they aknowldege the problem!
The players are human too. If problems aren't being fixed or made clear to the community that the team KNOWS there are problems, then what are we to think? The community wants Infiltration to be all it can be just as much as the team does.
The RA mutator is the ultimate example of what happens when we are ignored. Yurch went ahead and made a full gameplay mutator because INF wasn't playing right! When something like that happens, and servers that run RA are almost always full of players, then the team really needs to reconcider their commitment and communication with the community. I have come to love RA not only because of the play cycle but because Yurch responds almost immediately if there's a problem. Then he aknowledges it, and fixes it, and gets it back out there.
Remember: I just want ANY form of feedback. DarkBLS does a good job weeding out the idiots and the repetitive suggestions from the pool of idiots, so why not just worry about those?

1st off: Infiltration (not UT) is the funnest game I have ever played. It is still the funnest game. It garners about 90% of my gaming time.
2nd: It's free.
3rd: The Infiltration team has been absolutely awesome concerning communication with this community. No, they are not perfect. Yes, sometimes there are dry spells. But if you look at the overall level of communication, it is fantastic.
4th: Tiffy, you say these forums suck. You say ShakKen "put the nail in the coffin" on Inf for you and you're wasting your time playing it. You say your God's gift to these forums because of your knowledge.
If you don't like the game or the mod team, and don't like the forums, then go away man. We certainly don't need your "knowledge". Rest assured that Inf will continue without it.
Now everyone please put everything back into perspective and calm down.
ShakKen, if "Warren's Weekly Update" is not possible, you guys should get rid of it. It only creates false expectations and disappointment.
I don't understand all the "let's give peace a chance" people. I give peace a chance everyday. My Glock is there just in case peace doesn't show up.
|30th Oct 2001, 12:04 PM
and btw Tiffy, that free time ur spending on the INF project is called FUN or GAMING or PLAYING

The International Red Cross was set to return an Israeli Arab who has been held in Lebanon after crossing the border a few months ago.
It was not clear whether the man, Ahmed Jamal Daif, accidently swam across the maritime border between Israel and Lebanon while diving, or whether he purposefully swam over.
Daif will be returned to Israel through the Rosh Hanikra border crossing on Thursdays.
In September, London-based al-Hayat newspaper reported that Lebanon arrested three people suspected of spying for Israel and trespassing, adding that an Egyptian citizen and his wife were arrested on suspicion of spying, and an Arab-Israeli man was arrested on suspicion of trespassing.
Ahmed Jamal Daif was found at the time in a diving suit on a beach in the southern Lebanese border town of Naqoura, a Lebanese army source said, adding that Lebanese intelligence is interrogating him and ascertaining whether he was spying for Israel.

Natalie Portman is big everywhere in the world, including in Beirut, Lebanon, where she appears on a 50-foot billboard for Dior cosmetics. But not everyone is a fan.
Algemeiner reports that anti-Israeli Lebanese bloggers are complaining about the actress's image in their capital city. "Since each contact or with an Israeli occupation in Lebanon is considered a crime, you do not think hanging a poster size of 15 meters with the Zionist Jerusalem is illegal?," suggested one blogger. He was referring to Portman having been born in Jerusalem (as Natalie Hershlag) and to her public stance in defense of Israel and against anti-Semitism.
It's not quite worthy of a Sherlock Holmes story, but the mystery continues: Who censored Steven Spielberg's name at a movie theater in Lebanon?
In a piece picked up by The Washington Post, the country's Blog Baladi reported yesterday that the director's name had been covered up on a poster for his next movie, the kid-friendly "Adventures of Tintin."
Israel and Lebanon have waged a several year battle over who can produce the largest vat of hummus. The last record was set by Lebanon on May 12, with a 23,046 pound bowl of the chickpea dip. And now Israel is off to set the Guinness World Record for the largest falafel ball. An Israeli Chef in New York made the 10.9 kilogram (about 24 pounds) ball last weekend, according to Ynet.
Now I love Hummus, I mean love it. I have traveled all over Israel looking for the tastiest hummus and falafel accompaniment. I even challenged myself to eat some hummus every day for an entire year. But even I truly don't care about this tit-for-tat PR war over the food, so I sincerely wonder who on earth does?
When will this food fight end?
