Carrot Cake Crunch Bowl
I've been loving on my "crunch bowls" or "dessert soups" for snacks or breakfasts. It's more satiating and longer-lasting than a bowl of cereal with all the texture and flavor that I crave.
Lately I've been in the mood for carrot cake and warm spices so when I was short on time and had an abundance of baby carrots, I knew just how to use up a few. Too lazy to pull out the juicer (and clean it), I opted for a speedy blender bowl with a carrot cake-inspired recipe!
Side note: I had good intentions when I bought a juicer but I have yet to use it since the first few times I've pulled it out. I have a weakness for kitchen gadgets but ones that require a bit of cleaning have been set to the side with my schedule these days…excuses, excuses :) My speedy blender came to the rescue, again!
If you aren't keen on slurping this "dessert soup" from a bowl, sip this from a glass in smoothie form :)
Carrot Cake Crunch Bowl (inspired by my Recovery Crunch Cereal Bowl)
6-7 baby carrots, chopped
1/2 cup plain coconut milk yogurt (can use cottage cheese, tofu or other yogurt for variations)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or other non-dairy milk)
1/4 cup fresh or frozen pineapple (can omit
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, optional
splash of pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (or more to taste)
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1 medjool date or drizzle of honey or agave (do not use honey if vegan)
4-5 ice cubes
For serving
2 Tbsp raw buckwheat groats (granola can be subbed)
1 -2 Tbsp chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds (or a combo)
1 -2 Tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes (or shredded coconut)
1. In a blender, combine carrots through ice and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
2. Pour into a bowl, top with buckwheat groats, nuts and coconut flakes and enjoy!
Tangy Orange Pomegranate Smoothie Bowl
Have you ever eaten (or slurped) a smoothie out of a bowl like soup? Apparently, this is a blog/food trend that I missed…
Naturally, I had to give it a try…it was an experience, but I admit that I prefer to sip a smoothie from a glass. Now, if I added some crunchy granola on top I might be singing a different tune. Or maybe I was quite hungry and the spoon got in the way :)
Whether enjoyed in a bowl or glass, this smoothie is a refreshing breakfast, snack or light meal. The pomegranate and orange juice combo really hit the spot and the tangy citrus notes and slightly sour arils remind me of summer. Hot days here we come!
Tangy Orange Pomegranate Smoothie Bowl
1/4 cup pomegranate arils
1/3 – 1/2 cup orange juice
1/3 cup almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
splash of pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (cottage cheese, silken tofu, or non-dairy yogurt – use tofu/non-dairy for vegan)
drizzle of honey/agave, 1 date or a pinch of stevia – optional for added sweetness
1 Tbsp chia seed or chia meal (for extra nutrition, flax would also be a great addition)
Pomegranate arils for garnish and texture, optional
For an extra protein boost, add 1/2 to 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder
Serving suggestion: Crunchy Superfood Buckwheat Granola or other cereal for serving
1. Add all ingredients except to a blender and blend until completely smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour into a bowl (or glass), sprinkle with arils and/or granola and enjoy!
Peach Mango Lassi
One of the new flavors on tap at our frozen yogurt store is Peach Mango Tart. I love this flavor, it reminds me of summer in a bowl! Playing off this flavor variation, I decided to whip up a quick and creamy smoothie that is tart yet sweet….mmmm.
This smoothie can easily be made vegan by substituting silken tofu or non-dairy yogurt for the Greek yogurt. Usually I am not a huge fan of Greek yogurt in my smoothies but the super sweet mango and ripe peach along with the coconut milk complimented the tanginess perfectly.
Peach Mango Lassi
1 ripe mango, peeled and cubed
1 ripe peach, pit removed (skin can be left on or taken off depending on your preference – I used a white peach)
2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (for vegan, feel free to sub tofu or non-dairy yogurt)
1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton – or other non-dairy milk)
ice cubes, optional
cubed mango or peach for garnish, optional
shredded coconut for garnish, optional
1. Add mango, peach, yogurt, coconut milk and ice to a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into glasses, garnish with fruit cubes and shredded coconut and enjoy!
Serves 2
Recipe Notes: for different flavor variations, add a couple dashes of cinnamon or even ginger for more of an Indian flair!
Triple Berry Pomegranate Smoothie
Pomegranates were one of my favorite fruit discoveries as a teen. I remember the excitement of carefully peeling the pomegranate "skin" back to reveal the bright and crunchy red arils that would burst in my mouth. I still love pomegranates to this day, but I find the peeling part a bit more tedious when I am on the go.
So when I saw already peeled and ready-to-eat arils at Costco for a decent price, I happily added the package to my cart with a big smile on my face. I've added these little jewels to my yogurt, oatmeal and smoothies along with just munching on them as a snack…mmmmm!
This creamy smoothie is one of my new favorite ways to enjoy pomegranate – it's thick and creamy and full of antioxidants. I'd say that's pretty decent way to start my day!
Side note: Come to think of it, I should make time to peel a pomegranate; maybe it would be therapeutic and a stress reliever…well, that's if I am not starving, right? :)
Triple Berry Pomegranate Smoothie
1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries (I used the combo of blueberries, strawberries and raspberries)
1/4 to 1/3 cup pomegranate arils (or you could sub pomegranate juice if desired)
1 to 2 scoops plain or vanilla protein powder (I used brown rice, optional)
1/2 ripe avocado
1-2 Tbsp chia seed, Mila or flax seed, optional for added nutrition
1 1/2 cup nondairy milk (almond, coconut, rice, soy or hemp)
ice cubes, if desired (I didn't use this since I used frozen berries)
1. Add all ingredients into a blender (I used a high powered Health Master) and blend until smooth. Pour into glass(es) and enjoy!
Serves two (cut recipe in half if single serving is needed)
Note: I used a high powered blender in this recipe as opposed to my Magic Bullet to help blend/crush the seeds of the berries and pomegranate :)

Shame about the fabric I bought this dress to wear to a wedding and while I was waiting in the hot summer sun, i realised really terrible, awful perspiration marks on the dress. The fabric is silk, but so delicate that any slight moisture blows up. So if you have any moisturiser on your hands and touch the fabric, it marks really badly. I took it off and wore something else to the wedding. I then got this dry cleaned and sold it on ebay for £30, never worn. Gutted. 04 January 2010
The dress is a beautiful colour but a little too fussy in design. The silk tended to crease easily so tends to look a little scruffy after sitting down for too long. 21 December 2009
Beautiful Dress I ordered this dress to wear to my office Christmas party. Tried it on several times at home as I couldn't wait to wear it! So glad I picked this dress - so many people commented on it! The colour is superb - I really stood out in the photographs! Am looking forward to my next party so that I can wear it again. I felt a million dollars in it and I most certainly got admiring glances. Thanks Coast! Will definitely buy more dresses from you in the future!! 12 December 2009
Love this dress! Beautiful colour, very flattering dress, especially the sleeves for those of us who don't want to show off our flabby arms! Bought the dress for an evening wedding, will be very easy to match up with some glamorous black evening shoes and handbag. Have to say that the dress didn't look too inspiring on the hanger but I loved the colour, tried it, and it looked great on. It's not just for special occasions, you can easily wear it to a restaurant or on a night out with the girls! 03 October 2009

09/23/11 Sr. Roberta Christianson, PHJC, was on hand as presenter for Ancilla College's first Lampen Lecture of the semester, entitled "History, Architecture, and Symbols of our 1920 Chapel."
In the presentation, Christianson focused on the historical background of the Ancilla Domini Chapel and examined the statues, stained glass windows, and wall paintings featured throughout the chapel.
"Sr. Roberta conveyed the wonder and the majesty of the Ancilla Domini Chapel amid the plethora of information and detail," said Sr. Carleen Wrasman, PHJC, Coordinator of Mission Integration and Campus Ministry. "I was amazed at the amount of information that Sr. Roberta was able to convey in the short 30 minutes."
This Lampen Lecture was a free lecture open to the public and was held in the Ancilla Domini Chapel.
The series was named for Sr. Joel Lampen, the first president of Ancilla College, who opened the doors of Ancilla to the local community.
The Lampen Lecture Series was designed to combine the universality of the Catholic Church, the international character of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, who sponsor Ancilla College, and the Earth Charter to promote thinking beyond one's own experiences and interests.
Ancilla College is a Catholic, two-year, co-educational, liberal arts college in Donaldson, Indiana sponsored by the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ.

His charity golf tournament with Rangers reliever Collin Balester raises money to improve the facilities at their alma mater, Huntington Beach High.
For a limited time, enjoy the Register's sports columnists' latest columns for free:
HUNTINGTON BEACH – Hank Conger arrived at SeaCliff Country Club at 9:20 a.m. on Monday, a passenger in his father's silver Toyota Camry and a 25-year-old Angels catcher who has never forgotten from where he came.
Conger, who was the Angels' first-round draft pick, 25th overall, in 2006, spent most of his childhood in this seaside city. He played Ocean View Little League. He starred a half-mile from here at Huntington Beach High.
And on that field, his former coach Benji Medure will tell you, is where Conger really grew up. It's for that field and the Oilers baseball program that the homegrown ballplayer now gives back.
Players often say they want to help. Some do. Some never match their intention with an action beyond writing a check.
But Conger, teaming with 2004 Huntington Beach graduate and Texas Rangers reliever Collin Balester, made good Monday by hosting their second Collin Balester-Hank Conger Giveback Golf Tournament.
While still wrestling over who gets first billing on the naming rights, Conger and Balester were united in working the phones and getting their baseball fraternity to come to the links to support the program's Dream Field Project.
Last year, the event raised $24,000 for the fund that will aid in the construction of stadium seating, a clubhouse, weight room and sunken dugouts. On Monday, a sellout group of 136 golfers aimed to top that between $150-per-person tournament entry fees, sponsor contributions and a charity auction.
"This is really important to not just say I was going to do it but really do it and get all the guys to come out, have fun and show support for the program," said Conger, clutching his irons on the way to the driving range.
"This is my home."
Conger got his offseason workout partners, former Angel-turned-Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Mark Trumbo and St. Louis pitcher Joe Kelly, to play. Balester called in former Washington Nationals teammate and pitching ace Stephen Strasburg.
"Hey, I got beaten up pretty bad at my last stop on the celebrity charity golf circuit, so I'm happy to be invited and help," said Strasburg, organizing his golf bag on the back of his cart. "I like the idea of helping out youth baseball because this is where we all started."
Strasburg, of San Diego, recalls playing travel ball against Conger when he was 10 years old. Conger remembers knowing Kelly as a 8-year-old flamethrower from Corona.
"We all have been lucky enough to have been able to make a career out of the game we played when we were young," said Conger, between the steady stream of handshakes at this event that doubled as a baseball reunion.
Conger has stayed close to the Oilers program, visiting the field several times a week during the offseason. He works out with current players and shares baseball stories. Often, Conger and Trumbo take batting practice there, with Conger's father, Yun, pitching from the mound.
"Hank has been really loyal," Medure said. "Same with Collin, even though he lives in Florida now. When we talked about the field, they both jumped to say, 'How can we help?'"

High Ground Maneuver
Jul 19, 2010
General Nonsense
I'm sure you're all following the iPhone 4 story. If you hold the phone a certain way, it drops calls.
In a press conference on the subject, Steve Jobs said, "We're not perfect. Phones are not perfect. We all know that. But we want to make our users happy."
Jobs got a lot of heat about his response. Where was the apology? Where was the part where he acknowledged that the buck stops with him, and that Apple made a big mistake that never should have happened? That's public relations 101, right?
I'm a student of how language influences people. Apple's response to the iPhone 4 problem didn't follow the public relations playbook because Jobs decided to rewrite the playbook. (I pause now to insert the necessary phrase Magnificent Bastard.) If you want to know what genius looks like, study Jobs' words: "We're not perfect. Phones are not perfect. We all know that. But we want to make our users happy."
Jobs changed the entire argument with nineteen words. He was brief. He spoke indisputable truth. And later in his press conference, he offered clear fixes.
Did it work? Check out the media response. There's lots of talk about whether other smartphones are perfect or not. There's lots of talk about whether Jobs' response was the right one. But the central question that was in everyone's head before the press conference - "Is the iPhone 4 a dud" - has, well, evaporated. Part of the change in attitude is because the fixes Apple offered are adequate. But those fixes easily could have become part of the joke if handled in an apologetic "please kick me" way.
If Jobs had not changed the context from the iPhone 4 in particular to all smartphones in general, I could make you a hilarious comic strip about a product so poorly made that it won't work if it comes in contact with a human hand. But as soon as the context is changed to "all smartphones have problems," the humor opportunity is gone. Nothing kills humor like a general and boring truth.
I've wondered for some time if Jobs studied hypnosis, or if he's some sort of freakish natural. And I wonder how much of his language is planned versus off-the-cuff. He speaks and acts like a master hypnotist. (For new readers, I'm a trained hypnotist myself, and it definitely takes one to know one.)
I have long had a name for Jobs' clever move. I call it the "High Ground Maneuver." I first noticed an executive using it years ago, and I've since used it a number of times when the situation called for it. The move involves taking an argument up to a level where you can say something that is absolutely true while changing the context at the same time. Once the move has been executed, the other participants will fear appearing small-minded if they drag the argument back to the detail level. It's an instant game changer.
For example, if a military drone accidentally kills civilians, and there is a public outcry, it would be a mistake for the military to spend too much time talking about what went wrong with that particular mission. The High Ground Maneuver would go something like this: "War is messy. No one wants civilians to die. We will study this situation to see how we can better avoid it in the future."
Notice that the response is succinct, indisputably true, and that the context has been taken to a higher level, about war in general. That's what Jobs did. It's a powerful technique, and you can use it at home.
There's a limit to the method. I don't think that BP could have gotten away with it as a response to the oil spill because the problem was so large and it seemed unique to BP. But if they had tried the High Ground Maneuver, it would have looked like this: "All of the easy sources of oil have been found fifty years ago. If the oil industry stops taking risks, many of you would be out of work in less than a decade. We all want a future of clean energy, but no one sees a way to get there as quickly as we need to. We will do everything we can to clean up the spill, and to make things right with the Gulf economy."
Someday business students will read about Steve Jobs' response to the iPhone 4 issue and they will learn that the High Ground Maneuver (probably by some other name) became the public relations standard for consumer products companies from that day on.

Wow... you wanna see the future, look at this: http://www.taranfx.com/worlds-cheapest-tablet Probably not as good a device as the iPad, but all the main features, open source, and... a $35 price point scaling below $20 once it hits mass market.
A mass produced $20 open source tablet computer with a billion international users will probably change the world pretty radically. Weird that a $500 proprietary variant of the same thing struck me as a wealthy person's novelty a week ago.

Steve Jobs is a very successful and sharp businessman. However, the fact is Apple rushed the iPhone 4 out before it was ready because of typical stockholder and executive gluttony. End of Story.
For my delusional PhD and MBA dunces. Job's response was NOT brilliant. He simply used the Jedi mind trick on you out of touch retards. Nevertheless, those with a brain understand that Steve simply gave a HUGE middle finger to everybody !$%*!$%* about the iPhone 4. It was nothing more than compensating behavior for intellectual infantile issues.

"Apple loves its customers... they reward us with their loyalty."
Nice appeal that customers should not be faithless and return their phones, no? Much better than "Please don't kick me." Much better than, "It's your fault for holding it the wrong way." Got a name for that?

@zimbido: Whether the IP4 update changes the number of bars to show more or less bars is not the issue. Changing an indicator on a display rather than fixing the antenna is the critical issue.
I own Apple products. I've been a fan of a lot of their stuff. Haven't liked some of their stuff, too. If you like to tweak and mod gear (for fun or for performance), Apple is not for you. If you like a black box closed system, feel free to kneel at the Temple of Apple no matter what they do.
However, it's patronizing and dubious for Apple to think iPhone customers are going to swallow any solution outside of fixing the damn antenna problem. Apple put lipstick on a pig.
Apple sold a ton of iPhones to date, but they also know how many sales they are losing every day since the issue was exposed. You know there was a think tank at Apple HQ sweating out how they could spin this for damage control before they ever consulted with one engineer about actually solving the problem.

The "We all know that" part is also very important when manipulating with words.
I think there is still an good humor opportunity, you can play with the "We're not perfect" and "But we want to make our users happy" parts being used for a failure that´s a clear negligence and that somehow makes the life of the user not precisely happy.

Isn't this a straw man argument.
Can't there be some humor with a similar response which makes a totally inappropriate straw man given by the pointed haired boss
Box 1
PHB - What happened to the report I asked Friday
Dilbert - I told you then that I had mailed it to you on Wednesday
Box 2
Dilbert - Did you not check your mail or did you forget
PHB (thinking) - Should do high ground maneuver
Box 3
PHB - Busy people forget. Managers are busy. We all know that. But I don't want to be busy and be a manager.

Hey, I LOVE apple products. I know they cost a lot more than comparative equipment, but that's OK because I LOVE apple products.
So what if my new phone doesn't work when I hold it? It's an apple so I LOVE it.

Apparently, Apple also controls the ratings system on this blog. Anything negative toward them is rated highly negative and any positive comment is highly rewarded. Hmmmm, I wonder what else they control? Oh well, I guess I better be nice to them:
I love you Steve!!! :):):):)

I have no problem dragging the argument back to the specific.
Maybe my phone is not perfect, but it does not stop working when I pick it up, unlike your POS.
That 'civillian' was not some generic resource the military can score up or down against success and blunders. It was my Uncle Ahkbar. An uncle who owed me money, which I am never going to see again.
Weasle words Scott, not hypnotism and most certainly not genius.

"I'm sure you're all following the iPhone 4 story."
Actually, no. I don't see what all of the hype is about anyway. I don't own an iPhone. Never have, and never will.
I would like to comment on the insane positive and negative ratings on some of these posts. I'm sure no one is keeping score -- or really cares who has the highest or lowest number, except for the children who get a thrill in "finishing first".
Maybe Scott would consider abandoning the whole "thumb up - thumb down" feature? I really don't see a purpose in it. I mean, is someone going to win an iPhone 4 for having the most "thumbs up"? It won't matter because the flaming thing won't work anyway...

Im not really sure which parts condescension or bitterness you perceived as hypnosis, but I thought it was a pretty shallow tapdance. Perhaps hypnotists are more susceptible to their own mechanics.
I saw nothing brilliant, genius, or eveil about it. To me it was just your typical sixpack of corporate half truths delivered by a familiar yet somewhat angry face. Most of it was better left unsaid.

@KnowItAll: Please note precisely what part of reality was distorted here, other than by the Apple Vitriol astroturfers?
@CultureVulture: The update makes the phone show *fewer* bars, not *more*. Back to the drawing board on your theory.

As others have noted, Steve Jobs' "Reality Distortion Field" is a well-known phenomenon already (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_distortion_field).
I believe this may be the first time it's been applied so blatantly to the public though.

What a great article! The Dilbert strip always seems to cut to the chase of business boneheadedness and this is why the strips are so funny and insightful.
In any Apple story, good or bad (and remember, no one is perfect) there is a cadre of posters, all over the web, whose attitude towards anything Apple or Steve Jobs is so filled with vitriol and a lack of proportion that while I'm not mystified at their Apple-Hating-postish-presence here, I am a bit puzzled why they think the author of Dilbert would take up their cause?
Steve Jobs is the antithesis of the boneheads that Dilbert works with. He IS Dilbert in many ways, working competently in an industry filled with products that must surely have been created by Dilbert's many incompetent co-workers. Jobs' Apple products are a lesson in great engineering, great design and intelligent and easy-to-use human interfaces.
Before the iPhone, Smartphones were obsidian blocks of electronic incomprehensibility. I've owned a few. The Treo for instance had such a huge and badly-written user manual that in order to set up email I had to chuck it and web-surf tip-pages for hours. Other functions were equally obscure. Sure, once set up it could be kinda cool, but user-friendly? No. PC-ish-ness is why the vast legions of bad and accented Tech Supporters exists.
Along comes the iPhone that sets up your email accounts, no matter the source, for you, along with just about every other function on the phone. There's a reason there are tons of YouTubes of 2-year-olds doing incredible things on iPhones and iPads. Try it, go to YouTube and type in "2-year old using Blackberry" and then change the last word to "iPhone" and check out the results.
My wife currently owns a company-ordained Blackberry 8830 and the only thing she knows how to do on it is email, texting and make phone calls. That's it. And her company tech support group had to set that up for her. She looks at my iPhone and just sighs.
This is who Jobs is; what he does. Dilbert's boss? I'm pretty sure he created the Microsoft Paperclip (and all the software around it).
The reason you're not likely to see Dilbert taking Jobs to task is because the cartoon isn't going to suddenly be re-named "The Pointy-Haired-Boss" and take up his cause.
BTW, it's always occurred to me, other than the foliage, how much the PHB resembles Ballmer in looks and substance, don't you think?

Starbucks as of September 8, 2012 has over 19,972 locations in 61 countries and have created an authentic pod system to allow customers to make Starbucks drinks at home, with the Verismo at-home coffee machine.
The Verismo 580 is Starbuck's version of the Keurig at-home brewer (currently sells for $199.95 on the Starbucks.ca store).
The Verismo machine features:
- High-pressure brewing system heats up and is ready to make Starbucks-quality beverages in less than 15 seconds.
- Variable temperature system allows for optimum coffee extraction and milk steaming.
- Integrated rinse function helps keep machine clean.
- Height-adjustable drip tray accommodates different sized cups.
- Auto-off activates after 5 minutes to save energy.
- Easily removable water tank makes refilling simple.
- Built-in used pod removal automatically moves up to 10 pods to storage for easy cleanup.
Making a Latte from Verismo 580 machine
Straight Expresso Shot from Verismo 580 machine
I tried just an Espresso shot – 1 Verismo Espresso Roast Espresso Pods and it was great. Very easy to use and the quality was exactly what I would expect from Starbucks.
Some problems with the Verismo pod system
- No soy or dairy-free milk pods available (many coffee drinkers are starting to choose these options so this should be on their list of new pods to add).
- The lattes had the taste of powdered milk.
The current promotion is that when you buy a Starbucks Verismo coffee machine from the Starbucks Store Canada, you will receive a free box of coffee pods (value of $11.95), and free shipping!
This expires December 31, 2012.
I think this is a great alternative for busy families or people that are busy that enjoy a nice coffee on the run. For us, there is nothing like a real coffee house experience. We are fortunate to live in one of the best cities for coffee in Canada (not just many amazing Starbucks locations but alternative independents, and home of many popular baristas).

From Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
-- An agreement between Florida and Georgia that allows senior citizens from either state to hunt and fish in fresh water without licenses in both states is about to end.
The agreement, which dates back to 1981, will end on June 30.
Georgia officials announced in May 2007 that economic realities have rendered the reciprocal agreement no longer feasible for hunting, and it will come off the books. The nature of the agreement requires that Florida follow suit.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) voted Wednesday to end the reciprocal agreement concerning freshwater fishing, as well. The agreement never has exempted nonresident seniors from either state from saltwater fishing license requirements.
Senior citizens who are Florida residents may continue to hunt and fish in Florida without purchasing a Florida license, although the FWC encourages seniors to purchase licenses to support conservation.

On COEXISTing and shutting up
The associate pastor at my neighborhood parish has been recording his Sunday homilies for several weeks now. If you're interested in good, authentic Catholic teaching, I commend them to you highly.
For some reason, they're not individually linked, so I can't give you a specific permalink to click and hear a certain sermon, but his homily for the Fourth Sunday of Easter is top notch.
It discusses Father Wallish's least favorite bumper sticker and what it means for Christians.
ASIDE: When people say "Pardon my French", the next words to come out of their mouth are rarely in French.

Veteran tight end Leonard Pope another big target for Cutler
BY KALYN KAHLER firstname.lastname@example.com August 5, 2013 10:19PM
Washington Redskins v Pittsburgh Steelers
Related Stories
Updated: August 6, 2013 6:42PM
BOURBONNAIS — It has only been three days since the Bears signed tight end Leonard Pope to a one-year deal, but coach Marc Trestman already likes what he sees from the 6-8, 264-pound veteran.
"Certainly, what we see is clear: We see a big man," Trestman said. "I thought he caught the ball very well today in the little time that we had individually."
Pope, who has played in the NFL since 2006, was signed after the Bears waived tight end Brody Eldridge. He practiced with the team for the second time Monday.
Although he caught only three passes for nine yards with the Steelers last season, two of those were for touchdowns. Pope, who can be a threat in the red zone, caught five touchdown passes in 2007 for the Cardinals. He had a career-high 24 receptions for 247 yards and one touchdown in 2011 with the Chiefs.
He's behind everyone on the unofficial depth chart released Monday but could challenge Steve Maneri for the backup spot behind Martellus Bennett. Pope said tight ends coach Andy Bischoff is helping him pick up the offense quickly.
"It's coming along pretty good," Pope said. "I'm just coming in fresh and trying to get my feet wet. Andy is doing a great job."
Pope is another towering target for quarterback Jay Cutler. Bennett (6-6, 265) and wide receivers Brandon Marshall (6-4, 230) and Alshon Jeffery (6-3, 216) already present quite a challenge for secondaries.
Safety Major Wright said working against big guys such as Pope is great practice for what he'll face when the real season begins.
"He's a huge guy," Wright said. "But it has kind of prepared us for big tight ends. We have them in practice, so when we do go against a big tight end, it's not a shocker.
"We know we can just go out and cover them. [Pope] is already taller than us, so from him, we learn how to fight and go through the pocket."
When the Bears began camp, they had five tight ends behind Bennett, and those five had combined for 25 NFL starts — 16 by Eldridge. While Pope still has a lot to learn, he brings plenty of savvy from his years with the Cardinals, Chiefs and Steelers. Trestman said he's giving Pope ample opportunities to apply his knowledge.
"He's still learning the offense, the snap counts," Trestman said. "We've got a lot of variations.
''We can't slow down for him, so what we're trying to do is give him opportunity, within the framework of the practice, to execute a play with the things he does know."

I need some general information on how to use Hull cells and how to "read" the resulting coupons. M.K.
General information on Hull cells can be found in the 2001 Metal Finishing Guidebook & Directory, Metal Finishing Publications, 914-333-2578. There is an excellent chapter on Hull cells in the book, Zinc Plating, Herbert Geduld, ASM International, 800-336-5152. The chapter focuses on the use of Hull cells in zinc plating, but the information is worthwhile reading for users of other types of plating baths.
Also, try contacting some of the vendors of Hull cells. Names can be found at www.pfonline.com in the Suppliers database or in the 2001 Products Finishing Directory And Technology Guide, 800-950-8020, under Testing Equipment, Hull cell.

Leah Remini opened up about her life since leaving Scientology on the season premiere of Ellen Monday.
"It's hard. We lost friends who can no longer talk to us who are still in the organization," Remini said. "But we have other friends, who are not in the church, who have stood by us, and that's all we can ask for."
Stars who quit Scientology
News that Remini left the church first broke in July. Her appearance on Monday's episode to talk about her upcoming stint on Dancing with the Stars was one of the first times the former sitcom star has spoken publicly about why she left Scientology. "My mother got involved when we were very young, so it's all we really knew. But over time, my eyes got opened, and I could just no longer be affiliated with the organization, and my family felt the same, so we left," she said.
To hear more about Remini's exit from the church and how her Dancing with the Stars practices are going so far, check out the clip below:

April 12 - Unlike Florida and Nevada, both still undergoing slow economic recoveries, Arizonas laissez faire approach to government intervention has been instrumental in our recovery, say U.S. Representatives David Schweikert, R-Ariz., and Spencer Bachus, R-Ala. Bachus made the case for less government regulation at a banker roundtable in Phoenix recently at the offices of Brownstein, Hyatt, Farber and Schreck.
Bachus, currently the chairman emeritus of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, served as chairman of the committee in the 112th Congress. He was a strong counter-weight to Barney Frank in crafting the largest regulatory reform of the U. S. banking industry in the modern era - the Dodd Frank Act.
Dodd Frank is an example of Washingtons penchant for always fighting yesterdays war, said Bachus.
Rep. Schweikert brought Bachus to Phoenix to meet with business leaders. The Arizona Bankers Association co-hosted the event. The luncheon was attended by approximately 25 bank CEOs and senior bankers from throughout the state. Topics ranged from small business access to capital, mortgage reform, the nations debt problem and the demographic pressures on immigration reform.
When asked by Arizona MultiBank President Andy Gordon how the government could help make the peaks and valleys of economic trend lines less severe, Schweikert pointed out that the data show markets do a much better job of correcting economic dislocations than do governments.
I can take you to Maryvale and show you neighborhoods that are now occupied and thriving because the markets were allowed to push distressed housing inventory through the foreclosure system. The system works when uninhibited by government obstructions such as mandatory mediation or judicial foreclosure statues, said Schweikert.
Paul Hickman, president and CEO of the Arizona Bankers Association, said, reforming the states punitive anti-deficiency statute would help even more in terms preventing bubbles from occurring in the housing economy and making contractions in that sector less severe.
The Arizona Bankers Association is the 110 year old trade association for Arizonas commercial banks. The association represents banks taking deposits statewide, from Tubac to Tuba City and all points in between.

If Mesa police suspect you're up to no good and want to identify you quickly on the street, it turns out they'd like you to just give them the finger.
OK, not THAT finger. Make it a couple of other digits.
Some officers are now requesting suspects let police scan both index fingers with a new mobile phone-sized device that can identify people in seconds without making a time-consuming trip to a fingerprint scanner at the downtown jail.
The wireless device is one of two high-tech instruments police are deploying this summer, along with 50 glasses-mounted cameras that record every interaction officers have with suspects.
The fingerprint scanners were tested in July at DUI checkpoints and worked without problem, said Bill Kalaf, Mesa's executive director of intelligence-led policing.
Police with the device hold it in front of a suspect, who presses an index finger on a screen until the gadget buzzes to confirm a successful scan. The suspect repeats the process with the other finger.
"It can't get much simpler," Kalaf said. "All you do is push a button and it tells you what to do."
The information is sent wirelessly to The Arizona Automated Fingerprint Identification System, which has more than 2 million prints. The device quickly responds whether there is a match or not.
If the print matches, the device's screen will display the person's name, date of birth, picture and whether the database includes DNA.
Results usually come back in two minutes or less, but sometimes within 30 seconds.
"Training is all of about 10 to 15 seconds," Kalaf said. "Officers love it because it's so simple to use."
Kalaf said the quick results help police confirm identities much easier when people don't have identification with them, lie to officers or have fraudulent documents.
Police hope the mobile scanner can help police work more efficiently because the only other option to get a fingerprint is to drive a suspect to the downtown jail. Kalaf said the device should be welcome to people who can be cleared on the street, because they won't have to have police take them downtown for fingerprinting.
Mesa is testing six devices now with patrol officers. If Mesa is pleased after a roughly six-month test, it will consider arming more of its nearly 300 patrol officers with them. The scanners are on loan from Morpho, a manufacturer of identification and security products. The scanners cost $500 to $1,000 each.
Police are also continuing to test cameras mounted on officers by equipping 50 police with cameras as soon as September. Mesa has tested an earlier generation of the cameras but wants to keep evaluating their potential to help police record evidence at a scene and to help document officer behavior when the public files a complaint.
The cameras are built by Scottsdale-based Taser International, a major supplier of stun guns. Police will seek volunteers to wear the cameras for a year-long test.
The cameras record all the time and download information to a small hard drive that officers can't erase. That allows police supervisors to see an entire interaction and not just a provocative segment that's taken out of context, police Chief Frank Milstead said.
Milstead said that since so many things are now filmed by smart phones, police should be able to have their own recording. The cameras should reduce police abuse claims that are false, because Milstead said people who wage misconduct allegations typically drop the matter when they learn an interaction has been recorded.
"It's hard to argue with something that's on tape," he said.

LightTPD Forthcoming - Installing, compiling, configuring, optimizing, and securing this lightning-fast web server This is your fast guide to getting started and getting inside the LightTPD web server. Written from a developer's perspecti...
|Cleaning up your inputs in PHP
Cleaning up your inputs from $_POST, $GET and $_REQUEST is an important task if you're looking at security of your PHP applications. You can prevent most kinds on Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks if you know how to clean up the user inputs. Here's how to do it using an Input filtering class from PHP Classes. To get started, head over to the PHP Classes page for the Input Filter Class by Daniel Morris and download the class file. (http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2189.html)
Once you get the class file, here's how you can go about cleaning up your input variables.
<?php $before = $_REQUEST['before']; $myFilter = new InputFilter(); $after = $myFilter->process($before); echo $after; ?>
So if you pass the string " to the code above, the input filter changes this to alert('xss'); after removing the script tags. All you have to do is to instantiate the InputFilter class with the following line: $myFilter = new InputFilter();
and run your string to be processed using the process class:
$after = $myFilter->process($before);
You can also send entire arrays to be processed by the InputFilter class:
$_POST = $myFilter->process($_POST); This class can also be used to remove specific HTML tags from your input string. Let's say for example, you want to remove all the bold tags  and  from your HTML string, all you need to do is :
<?php include 'class.inputfilter.php'; $before = $_REQUEST['before']; $tags = array("b","strong"); $myFilter = new InputFilter($tags, array(),1, 1); $after = $myFilter->process($before); echo $after; ?>
If we pass the string " test hello world" the output of the script will be "test hello world "
If you'd like to retain only the  and  tags in the above example, change line 4 to read
$myFilter = new InputFilter($tags, array(),0, 1);
This will change the output to test  hello world Let's break up the constructor for the InputFilter class :
InputFilter($tagsArray, $attrArray, $tagsMethod , $attrMethod);
$tagsArray is an array of user defined tags $arrtArray is an array of user defined attributes $tagsMethod = 0 or 1 where 0 is used when only user defined tags should be allowed. 1 is used to strip the user defined tags. Similarly $attrMethod is used to retain user defined attributes is it's set as 0 and to strip user defined attributes if set to 1.
Let's see the attribute filtering provided by this class in action. Let's take the following HTML string as an example:

Let's make an filter to just retain the src and target attributes in the HTML above
$tags = array("img","b"); $attr = array("src","target"); $myFilter = new InputFilter($tags, $attr,0, 0); $after = $myFilter->process($before);
The output should show

It's as simple as that.

In reply to Christina Katsiadakis's post on Sun 17 Apr 2011 :
Try not to formally cue your subject to start the interview. I usually one-man crew my shoots. I like to set up my shot, then ask the subject what they had for breakfast to set my audio levels. I hit record and then segue into my interview questions without alerting my subject. I feel like subjects flip an internal switch that makes them very stiff if you cue them to the fact that recording has started. People are much more natural/conversational if they think they are having a conversation with you, and not the camera.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander has introduced legislation to include four Tennessee Civil War battlefields in the national park system.
The legislation would designate battlefields at Davis Bridge and Fallen Timbers in Tennessee and Russell House -- which is in Tennessee and Mississippi -- as part of Shiloh National Military Park. It would also include Parker's Crossroads of Tennessee in the system.
The National Park Service has already determined these battlefields are nationally significant and in need of preservation and protection.
The majority of the land included in the legislation is currently owned by the Civil War Trust, which lawmakers say should speed the process of including these areas in the system.
U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Brentwood introduced similar legislation earlier this year.

Congolese government troops have entered the eastern border town of Bunagana as M23 rebels abandoned what was the last significant town they were holding.
The town was first seized by the rebels last year and its loss is the latest success in an offensive by Democratic Republic of Congo's UN-backed army, which is seeking to crush a 20-month rebellion.
Lucy Beck, a spokeswoman for the UN refugee agency in Uganda, said the Congolese crossing the border were now "too many to count". The number of Congolese seeking refuge in Uganda rose from 5,000 to more than 10,000 within hours on Wednesday, she said.
Kampala talks
Among those crossing the border on Wednesday was Bertrand Bisimwa, the civilian head of the M23 movement, who was reported to be on his way to the Ugandan capital, Kampala, at the request of a mediator trying to bring an end to the 18-month rebellion, according to Uganda's top military spokesman.
Bisimwa does not face arrest in Uganda, which has been mediating failed peace talks between the Congolese government troops and the M23 since December, said Uganda Lt Colonel Paddy Ankunda.
The talks stalled again earlier this month and, within days, clashes erupted between Congolese forces and the rebels.
The M23 emerged in April 2012, the latest incarnation of an ethnic Tutsi rebel group dissatisfied with the Congolese government.
Neighboring Rwanda, whose president is also an ethnic Tutsi, is widely believed to have provided weapons, recruits and training to the M23.
Rwanda's government has denied the allegations, saying Congo's government has failed to police its territory.
M23 briefly overtook Goma - a city of 1 million people - last November but has been substantially weakened in the past year by internal divisions and waning Rwandan support, according to a United Nations group of experts.

Quran, The
The Qur'an (Koran, Quran) is the Holy Book of Islam and the religion's most sacred writing. Muslims consider it the actual word of Allah and not the word of Muhammad to whom it was given. Muslim tradition states that the angel Gabriel visited Muhammad and gave him the words directly from Allah. These words were Allah's words of wisdom, truth, and commandments to His creation. The Qur'an (which means recitation) was revealed in the Arabic dialect used by the Quraish tribe of Mecca of that time. This dialect became the formal Arabic of the Islamic nations due to the distribution of Qur'anic scriptures throughout the Islamic empire. In the Arabic, the Qur'an is poetic in style with rhymes, meter, and shifts in line lengths. Those who speak the language say it is a beautiful work.
The Quran is divided into 114 chapters called Surahs. The word surah means "row." Today the Koran is arranged with the longer surahs first and the shorter ones after and with the whole thing divided into approximately 30 equal lengths.

I think given the gravity of the situation in Uganda, it is important all Christians speak up, and not leave it to GLBT bloggers and advocacy groups to have Focus on the Family dismiss their recent decision and behavior in Uganda by saying they must be doing something right if gay bloggers are attacking them.
As a follower of Jesus Christ, I remain appalled and concerned about what Exodus International is doing, and what US leadership has advocated in Uganda.
No one who claims to follow Jesus Christ can condone what Exodus has done.
Let's be honest, we don't pay attention. I asking you to.
Reading Ugandans reporting on this conference has been heart-breaking.
Exodus crossed that line awhile back, (remember Zach?) and in Canada there is only one group affiliated with Exodus. Recently New Directions who work with conservative, fundamentalist Christians wrestling with sexual orientation, quietly withdrew their Exodus affiliation.
While I applaud my fellow citizens and the family of God in Canada for not tolerating politicised raw hate, ignorance and revisionism, it remains our shame that Exodus Global Alliance is headquartered in Canada. Canada has also been home to Patricia King's heretical new age Extreme Prophetic which Caleb Lee Brundidge belongs to. Brundidge works for disgraced ex-psychologist Richard Cohen's The International Healing Foundation.
I am asking Christians across this country to join with others around the world.
Let Focus on the Family and Exodus International know we believe the organization and leadership have crossed a terrible and unacceptable line in His name.
Straight, gay or a, we are complicit if we remain silent about what their leadership willfully promoted in Uganda.
You can read the case against Exodus leadership advocacy in Uganda here.
Focus on the Family Canada and Exodus Global Alliance
Focus on the Family and Exodus International do not make it easy for you to speak, you'll have to scroll to 'other.'
Be prepared to receive religious spam, this is a thriving business in the US and the Focus on the Family Canada link I provided exists to peddle product. Use 'other' there also. There has been political condemnation, there is international coverage. The body of Christ needs to be heard from.
Open letter to the Exodus International Board of Directors:
We, the undersigned organizations, have monitored the ex-gay industry for more than a decade. To our great horror, prominent members of the ex-gay organization Exodus International participated last week in a conference in Uganda that promoted shocking abuses of basic human rights. This included draconian measures against gay and lesbian people such as forced ex-gay therapy, life imprisonment for people convicted of homosexuality and the formation of an organization designed to "wipe out†gay practices in Uganda. The conference also featured Scott Lively, a holocaust revisionist who at the event also blamed the 1994 Rwandan genocide on gay people.
The facts incontrovertibly show that Alan Chambers, President of Exodus International, was aware of the list of speakers and abhorrent content prior to the conference. Exodus board member Don Schmierer, who spoke in Uganda, made no objections to the radical and dangerous platform offered. Instead, these mortal threats to the lives of gay and lesbian people were met with a deafening silence. Exodus, in effect, gave this insidious conference its tacit approval.
Today, we take the unprecedented step of joining together to demand that Exodus International's Board of Directors take immediate action to hold accountable those who used the Exodus brand to promote an atmosphere conducive to serious human rights abuses. The accountability must begin with reasonable and responsible action by Board Chair Bob Ragan, including:
Dismissing Exodus President Alan Chambers for his knowing role in using Exodus to promote human rights abuses
Removing Board member Don Schmierer for speaking at a hate conference that promotes physical harm and psychological torture against GLBT people
Boldly articulating Exodus' policy against human rights abuses including forced therapy
Promising to end future participation in all conferences that call on the persecution and criminalization of gay and lesbian people
We do not take this call to action lightly. These steps are necessary and commensurate with the massive breach of ethics and trust by the Exodus leadership. Clearly, Exodus has lost credibility and its claim to "love†gay people in the aftermath of Uganda seems duplicitous and insincere. As long as Chambers and Schmierer remain at Exodus, the organization is hopelessly compromised and even complicit in grave human rights abuses. It is time for the Exodus Board, led by Bob Ragan, to assert its moral authority by appointing new leadership and taking the organization in a more humane and principled direction.

Update: The Exodus International President and Vice-President respond. They have chosen money over morals, dehumanization over justice and poltics over personhood. Their choices of partnership have little to do with the kingdom of God.
This is not news to anyone paying attention, all I can hope is that is that people who haven't given Fotf and Exodus a second thought do so carefully.

Know Your Garden's Insect Friends and Foes
Not every creepy-crawly is a pest to be squashed. Here's a list to help you sort the helpful insects in your garden from the not-so-helpful.
By James Jackson
Ladybugs: Friends
Perhaps the most recognizable insect out there. There are actually about 250 varieties of this voracious killer, and they dine primarily on aphids, a notorious garden muncher, but they eat other soft-bodied insects as well. Ladybugs come in yellow, orange, red, gray and black, with and without spots.

Sagging or wrinkled skin occurs naturally with increasing age. Folds and fat deposits appear around the neck, and deep flexion creases form between the nose and mouth. The jawline grows jowly and slack. Heredity, poor diet, smoking, or obesity may contribute to early or severe skin problems. A facelift can help repair some of the visible damage to skin, fat, and muscles and can restore a younger look. A facelift can be done alone or with nose reshaping, a forehead lift, or eyelid surgery.
While the patient is sleepy (sedated) and pain-free (local anesthesia) or deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), the plastic surgeon makes incisions above the hairline at the temples, behind the earlobe, to the lower scalp. The surgeon removes some of the fat tissue and loose skin, then stitches (sutures) the incisions closed.
Usually there is not much discomfort after surgery and pain medication can relieve it. Some numbness of the skin is normal and will disappear in a few weeks or months. The head will be elevated on two pillows (or at a 30 degree angle) for a couple of days after surgery to keep the swelling down. The drainage tube will be removed 1 to 2 days after surgery if one was inserted. Bandages are usually removed after 1 to 5 days. The face will look pale, bruised, and puffy, but in 4 to 6 weeks it will be looking normal. Most of the stitches will be removed in 5 days. The stitches or metal clips in the hairline could be left in a few days longer if the scalp takes longer to heal.
