December 15 – Happy Birthday Gil Blanco
We didn't know it at the time, but the 1965 Yankee spring training camp would be the last one hosting a defending AL Champion ball club for quite a while, over a decade to be exact. It was Johnny Keane's first exhibition season as the manager of the Bronx Bombers after he replaced the fired Yogi Berra. Keane's Cardinals had defeated Berra's Yankees in the 1964 World Series the previous fall. New York GM, Ralph Houk had already made the decision to fire Berra before losing that Series, convinced his veteran club needed more discipline. Houk felt Keane was the guy who could instill it.
The new skipper's innovative idea was to move New York's big hitters like Mantle, Maris and Ellie Howard to the very top of the Yankee lineup so they could get more at bats. The plan was working like a charm during spring training. Mantle actually batted first in some of that year's preseason games with Maris second and Howard in the three-hole and they all were hitting over .400 at one point.
The other exciting thing about that '65 camp was the emergence of today's Pinstripe Birthday Celebrant as a bonafide Yankee pitching prospect. Gil Blanco was a big six feet five inch right-hander from Phoenix who had been signed by New York right out of high school the year before. Just nineteen years old, he impressed everyone with his poise and stuff that spring and earned a spot on the Yankee roster.
Though the team started out the 1965 regular season slow under Keane, Blanco did not, holding the opposition scoreless during his first seven big league appearances out of the bullpen. That streak earned him his first start at the end of May versus Detroit and the kid got hammered. He gave up three hits, two walks and four runs and didn't make it out of the first inning.
That turned out to be the only start he'd make while wearing the pinstripes. He failed to make the Yanks 1966 Opening Day roster and that June, Houk traded Blanco, Bill Stafford and Roger Repoz to the A's for Fred Talbot and Bill Bryan. He got the opportunity to start for Kansas City during the second half of that season, but after finishing 2-4, he would never again throw a pitch in the big leagues.
He shares his birthday with this AL Rookie of the Year winner in 1968 and this former Yankee first baseman.
December 15 – Happy Birthday Eddie Robinson
In 1951, '52 and '53, first baseman Eddie Robinson was in the peak years of his Major League Baseball career. Like many players of his era, that career was interrupted early by military service in WWII. Three seasons after Robinson returned from the war, the trades that marked his entire career began. He went from the Indians to the Senators in 1949 and then to the White Sox during the 1950 season. By 1952, however, it looked like he had found a home in the Windy City. He had put together two straight 100 RBI seasons for Chicago, making the All Star team both years. But instead of settling in, Eddie was traded again, this time to the Athletics, who were still in Philadelphia at the time. In the "City of Brotherly Love," he combined with slugger Gus Zernial to provide the A's with most of their offense as he reached the 100-RBI mark and made the All Star team for the third year in a row. That's when the Yankees got him as part of a huge ten player deal that turned out not to have much positive impact for either team.
Simply put, the Yankees did not need the guy. George Weiss thought Robinson would replace the lighter hitting Joe Collins as the Yankee starting first baseman. The crafty GM, however, did not anticipate that rookie Moose Skowren, a powerful right hand hitting first baseman would hit .340 in 1954. Stengel ended up platooning Skowren at first base with Collins, who was the best fielder of all three players and used Robinson more as a pinch hitter. Eddie did very well in that role for two plus seasons in the Bronx but it was truly a waste of the overall talents of this four-time All Star.
In June of 1956, Weiss traded Robinson back to the A's, who by then had relocated to Kansas City. Unfortunately, Eddie was already 35-years old at the time and he never again would be the hitter he was when New York acquired him three years earlier. When Eddie hung up his spikes in 1957, he began a career in baseball's front offices that continued through 1996 when he finally retired as head of scouting for the New York Yankees.
Another Yankee born on this date was this AL Rookie of the Year winner in 1968.
December 15 – Happy Birthday Stan Bahnsen
Bahnsen was a real cornhusker, who was born in Council Bluffs, IA, in 1944 and played baseball for the University of Nebraska. He earned AL Rookie of the Year honors in 1968 when he won 17 games in his first full season in pinstripes and posted an incredible earned run average of just 2.05 runs allowed per nine innings pitched. I remember that season well. The Yankees had finished in last place in 1966 and next to last the following year. When they added the 23-year-old Bahnsen to a starting rotation that already included Mel Stottlemyre and Fritz Peterson, who were both just 26-years old at the time, things finally began looking up for New York.
In doing research for this post, I came across a very funny story involving Stan. It seems that in addition to being a wife swapper, Fritz Peterson was one of the Yankee's all-time practical jokers. He used to always carry a set of padlocks with him and one day, after the final game of a Yankee series, he padlocked Bahnsen's buckled shoes together. There was a bus outside the stadium waiting to take the Yankees to the airport to catch a plane to LA. Manager Ralph Houk and a bewildered Bahnsen were the last two people in the Yankee locker room. When Houk saw Bahnsen sitting there with no shoes on he told him to finish dressing and get on the bus. When Bahnsen told him he couldn't put on his shoes, Houk asked him why. When Bahnsen told him that Peterson had locked his footwear together, Houk just about had a fit.
Bahnsen won 37 more games as a Yankee starter during the next three seasons before being traded to the White Sox in 1972 for a guy named Rich McKinney. He proceeded to win 21 games during his first season in the Windy City. He then went 18-21 the following season and then his right arm began rebelling. He had pitched over 950 innings in four seasons in New York and then over 750 more during his first three years with the White Sox. He ended up his 16-year big league career in the bullpen, retiring after the 1982 season with a 146-149 record.
The "Bahnsen Burner" shares his December 15th birthday with this former Yankee first baseman Also, at the end of yesterday's PBB post recognizing John Anderson, who was the first native Norwegian born Yankee, I asked who was the second Yankee to be born in Norway and gave the hint that he had been catcher Bill Dickey's backup for most of the thirties. The correct answer is Arndt Jorgens.

Single Concussion May Lead to Lasting Brain Damage
TUESDAY, March 12 (HealthDay News) -- Just one concussion can cause long-term structural damage to the brain, according to a new study.
Researchers used 3-D MRI to examine the volume of gray and white brain matter in 19 concussion patients one year after their injury, and in 12 people who had not suffered a concussion. The scans revealed measurable losses of gray and white matter (brain atrophy) in the concussion patients, according to the study, which was published online March 12 in the journal Radiology.
The finding is the first of its kind and shows that brain atrophy occurs not only in people who have suffered severe brain injuries, but also in those who have had just one concussion, said Dr. Yvonne Lui, neuroradiology section chief and assistant professor of radiology at the NYU Langone School of Medicine, in New York City.
"This study confirms what we have long suspected," Lui said in a journal news release. "After [concussion], there is true structural injury to the brain, even though we don't see much on routine clinical imaging."
Lui said this means that changes in brain structure may be the cause of long-term symptoms in patients who have suffered a concussion.
"It is important for patients who have had a concussion to be evaluated by a physician," Lui said. "If patients continue to have symptoms after concussion, they should follow up with their physician before engaging in high-risk activities such as contact sports."
Following a concussion, some people briefly lose consciousness. Other symptoms include headache, dizziness, memory loss, attention problems, depression and anxiety. Some of these symptoms may last for months or even years.
Previous research has shown that 10 percent to 20 percent of concussion patients continue to experience symptoms more than a year after their head injury.
Although the study tied having a single concussion to higher risk of long-term brain injury, it did not establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
More information
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more about concussions.

Artist Troy Gua combines his love for the Thunderbirds with his love for the true originator of purple swag, the one and only Prince, into his "Le Petit Prince" project. Recreating album covers as well as miniature garments of Prince in his various guises throughout the years, the project is a treasure trove of material recognized by many fellow fans of the purple one, including Questlove:
"Troy is a gifted artist with amazing vision and detail. The thoroughness in his works shines amazingly through. Truly in awe of his work and expect even more awesome things in the future."
Troy himself describes it as such:
Le Petit Prince was made late in 2011 in an earnest attempt to simply make something that made me smile after a year of hard work trying to make ends meet as a working artist in Seattle. I've always been fascinated with Gerry Anderson's 'Supermarionation' work, and Prince changed my life at an early age – I decided to pay a loving and humorous tribute to the artist that has influenced and inspired me like no other by sculpting and constructing a 1/6 scale artistic interpretation in the style of Anderson's marionettes. It's been a joy-filled project.
Unfortunately, the reason his project popped up on the radar today is because it will soon vanish. Troy Gua, who is a huge fan of Prince and intended his project as a tribute to the pop icon, has after many attempts finally come into contact with his inspiration, in the form of a cease and desist letter from his lawyers. Of course, since his project is not a commercial one (although there were plans for a book and he sold a calendar to fund the project) and he has actually refused requests of selling replicas of the puppet without Prince's consent, he is well within his rights as an artist. Interestingly enough, he even releases his work under a non-commercial creative commons license so others may elaborate on his work. Understandably though, Troy Gua is unwilling to taint his affinity for the man's work and does not wish to battle the object of his admiration. He does however, take offense to certain parts of the message he received and has replied to them in a the letter you can read at the bottom of this post.
It's a nightmare for everyone working as a writer on music to meet an artist you greatly admire and have the encounter turn out on the opposite side of pleasant, to have an immense work you created burned to the ground by someone like that, I can only imagine as devastating. "Le Petit Prince" should disappear by November 15th, so hop on over quick if you wish to enjoy it while it lasts. We've uploaded some personal favorites for posterity's sake to the gallery below.
Hello, Friends.
It is with a heavy heart that I write this – I have been issued a cease & desist order from Prince's attorneys. This means that the Le Petit Prince project has reached its untimely end and must be removed from the internet by Friday, November 16, 4pm PST. There are many points touched upon in the order, and I will, of course, comply with their demands, whether I agree with them as matters of artistic freedom or not. I simply do not wish to fight with my hero, and it is terribly disheartening to think that he may hold ill will towards me and this project. I wrote back to the attorneys and told them I would indeed comply, but wanted to address some of the issues brought up in their letter. I'd like to share these paragraphs with you, which contains sentiments that I hold dear and true:
"Any products sold are returning no profit to me – they are simply a meager means to fund and continue the LPP project, which is a work of fine art. And this funding, I would argue, is anything but "ill-gotten gains". That term pains me, as I do not intend, nor have I ever intended to profit from Prince without his consent. I have, in fact, refused countless pleas to recreate the sculpture and make it available for sale because I felt that that would indeed be attempting to profit illegally. The recreation of album art and iconic imagery, on the other hand, I felt was within my creative rights as an artist. This is artwork that I have made as a loving tribute to an artist that has inspired me for decades, and has shaped the person I have become. And this tribute has grown into something that I never foresaw nor intended – a joyful and positive experience for many, many people around the world. It has, to my utter amazement, brought so much happiness to so many, building a following and a momentum that has demanded it endure and expand.
I have, actually, attempted through modest connections to Mr. Nelson, to contact him to no avail. He is not an easy person to reach out to. I, on the other hand, am very easy to engage, and was actually, perhaps foolishly, hoping for contact from him regarding this project in a much more congenial form. If I had any possible way of reaching Mr. Nelson to ask him his thoughts on this matter or to propose a creative business venture, believe me, I would have. I would love nothing more, and would relish the opportunity to do so, still."
The words "thank you" could never adequately qualify the truly staggering gratitude I feel towards everyone who fueled the passion for this project with their words of support and praise, with their love and positivity, and with their all around good will. This project grew into what it became because of you. Although I am saddened beyond words that it has reached its end, and that it has ended this way, I am also deeply grateful and happy beyond words that I've had this rare opportunity to make so many new friends, to make so many people smile, and to make so many tiny sets of funky clothes.
I hope we can continue to be in touch in another corner of this great big universe somewhere. And I hope you had fun. I know I did.
For LPP, Troy Gua signing off…

SQL performance: Alpha Five vs. Filemaker 9 benchmarks
Alpha Five Version 8 sorts over 1 million records more than 600 times faster than Filemaker 9.
If database performance matters to you, this is a blog post you won't want to miss.
You know the old saying that the best laid plans always go awry? Well they certainly did. A few weeks ago, Richard promised a continuation of the Alpha Five vs. Filemaker comparison.
So he asked me to set up a series of tests to pin Alpha Five Version 8 against Filemaker 9. It took a bit longer than expected because (besides the fact that we have a million things going on at Alpha Software right now) we wanted to make sure the tests were solid. And I believe the facts I am about to present to you are solid as rock.
When FileMaker 9 was released this summer, and described as the "Most Significant Upgrade" in the history of their company, we were, as a competitor, naturally curious to see what they were up to. We were especially taken with their strong claims in the area of SQL support.
To wit:
The new version also offers breakthrough, easy-to-use tools so FileMaker users and workgroups easily can connect to the world of company and Web data residing in external SQL data sources: MySQL, Oracle SQL, and Microsoft SQL Server.
Their original PR is here.
To investigate this claim, we decided to run some tests. The results were stunning, to put it mildly. Let's start with sorting.
When you build an application in Alpha Five in a SQL environment, and you use one of the Web component builders, Alpha Five is smart enough to let the back-end data source do the work for you.
And to a degree, FileMaker is smart, too, when it comes to searching for particular records. But when it comes to sorting records (for some unfathomable reason) FileMaker downloads ALL of the records to the client (i.e. the local machine). Then the local FileMaker database performs the sort.
It's as if FileMaker took the server out of client-server computing, and replaced it with an invention dubbed client-client computing. Clearly this is the wrong approach, and performance and scalability suffer considerably.
This, of course, is not an issue with tiny databases. But when people are connecting to Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, etc., they're typically working with thousands to millions of records.
We performed three benchmarks with FileMaker Pro 9 Advanced and Alpha Five Version 8.
Benchmark I:
We connected to a SQL Server database that contained zip codes, cities, and states for 42,000 locations in the United States. We then built a FileMaker form and an Alpha Five Web form that connected to this source. Both programs were then used to sort the records by city name. The processing took Alpha Five two seconds, and took FileMaker more than 15 seconds. That makes Alpha over seven times faster.
Benchmark II:
We sorted the same data set by the two-character state field. This should be an easier, higher-performing test for both databases. Indeed, Alpha Five finished the sort in just 1.33 seconds. It took FileMaker 20.66 seconds. Alpha comes out even faster --15.5 times faster.
I recorded these benchmark tests in Camtasia Studio, so I could perform exact measurements by playing back the video in slow motion. If you'd like to see the video, contact us at email@example.com for a look.
By dividing the number of records processed by the number of seconds it took to process, I was able to calculate and graph the results in terms of records processed by second. Check out the data:
Benchmark III:
Just for fun, I decided to run a third benchmark to see what would happen if we tried to process over 1 million records. I used our Web traffic logs for this, which are quite large.
I asked both FMP9 and A5V8 to sort by visitor ID, a 10-digit number. It took Alpha Five 8.86 seconds to process over 1 million records. FileMaker required more than an hour and a half; 5,400 seconds. That's over 600 times longer than Alpha Five.
In Alpha, the number of records per second actually increased when dealing with a larger set of records. In previous tests with the smaller data set, Alpha Five was processing 32,000 records per second. In this test with over 1 million records, Alpha processed 132,000 records per second.
These results illustrate fundamental architectural, design, and performance differences between the two popular database platforms. FileMaker is a wonderful product, and we respect them as a competitor, as we do Microsoft and many other desktop database vendors.
While Alpha Five is every bit as easy to use for beginners as FileMaker, the two products are not in the same league when it comes to tackling robust business requirements. FileMaker doesn't scale, in part because of its odd "client-client" architecture. Alpha Five scales, in part because it is a true client-server platform.
Now, in fairness to FileMaker, their technical documentation (unlike their press release) does offer a caveat:
It is important to note that "increasing the potential size and scalability of FileMaker Pro based solutions" is not an explicit design goal of the ESS (External SQL Sources) feature set. It may be possible to use ESS in that way, but the feature set is designed to favor transparency and ease of use, not raw speed. So it is probably not wise to expect that a good use of ESS would be to replace your largest and most complex FileMaker Pro based tables with SQL-based tables. This might work perfectly well, and might even solve certain problems for certain systems, but it would be wise to proceed with caution and to remember that the feature designers were trying to achieve "smooth, FileMaker Pro-like integration" not "bigger, faster FileMaker Pro-based systems." ESS is not designed as a means to allow a FileMaker Pro solution to scale beyond the limits of a purely FileMaker Pro based solution. The ESS feature set is designed to emphasize the seamless integration of SQL-based tables into a FileMaker Pro solution, rather than to take specific advantage of the high-scalability features of SQL back ends.
Clearly, the marketing and tech teams at FileMaker are not on the same page. The tech guys and gals are straight with developers, but the marketers are overpromising on FileMaker Pro 9's SQL abilities.
But that's not even the point. The point is, with FileMaker, SQL support appears to be a bolted-on afterthought. With Alpha Five, it's integral to the platform. And it shows, with far better runtime performance that developers, users, and clients alike will appreciate.
Now, perhaps FileMaker's abysmal SQL sorting performance is just the result of a bad design decision, or even a bug. I, for the life of me, can't figure out why they would design it to behave as a "client-client" application instead of client-server.
Then again, maybe there is some internal limitation that prevents FileMaker from taking full advantage of SQL server processing. Regardless, in its current incarnation, the SQL sorting performance is, put plainly, awful.

If you look in the box you will notice it comes pre-loaded with an 8GB micro SD card full with tracks from Canadian artists. Not only that but included in the box is a carrying pouch (no clip), premium stereo headphones (just like the bold!!) and the usual stuff (battery, charger, usb, etc). Stay tuned for more details…
P.S. I'm really sorry to those who are getting sick of all the Storm news. It'll cut back soon.

Moore welcomes back Critter Tales for a summer visit
The Moore Public Library welcomes back the furry friends from Critter Tales for a visit to the library at 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 1, in Rooms A and B of the library, 225 S. Howard Ave.
Jennifer Shore and her animal friends from the organization have given a popular program at the library for the last several years during the Summer Reading Program. Critter Tales brings not just the stories of the animals and what makes them special, but also hands-on artifacts such as owl wings or talons that audience members can handle.
And Shore brings along the stars of Critter Tales – a few of the "critters" themselves, who give a chance for audiences to see them in a safe and close-up setting.
Registration is not required to attend, but the room likely will fill quickly.
For more information on the program, visit the library's children's desk or call 793-4347.

text: How to Apply for College Grants May 19, 2014 CareerBuilder College Life comments Hockey great Wayne Gretzky once said, "You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take." His quote applies to many walks of life, and most certainly the application process for college grants. Many prospective college students are unaware of the number of grants available and the amount of money such grants can be worth. Sure, if you apply for a given grant, there is no guarantee that you'll receive it, but the more you apply to, the better your chances. One thing that is guaranteed is that if you don't apply, you won't receive a grant, so you might as well give it a try. Unlike scholarships – most of which are based upon merit – grants are often given to students on a need-based authority. Like scholarships, grants are offered from a variety of sources, such as colleges or career schools, private or nonprofit organizations, and both the federal and state governments. Another similarity between scholarships and grants (and an aspect that makes them different from loans) is that the money is put toward your education, but it doesn't need to be repaid now or in the future. Where to Begin Searching for College Grants A good starting point when applying for grants is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also known as FAFSA, which you can access here. Upon completion, a federal center will process your application and eventually send you a summary of the amount of money you would be personally responsible for toward your college education. Your college will use that figure when constructing your financial aid application. Related: What Factors Impact Financial Aid Eligibility You may then be asked to fill out additional applications based on the type and number of grants that you may qualify for. There are many different types of grants available, such as Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants and Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants. To read more about these grants and others, check out the U.S. Department of Education's website. Get Prepared John Paul Engel, now an author and motivational speaker, earned a full ride for his undergraduate education through grants and scholarships and authored an e-book about applying to college, "Project: Be The Change," that focused on payment options. John was able to offer up some valuable advice in regard to applying for grants. "There are plenty of funding sources available. The key is to start doing research in your junior year to know what you will apply for and to get your applications in early," he says. "Never in your life will you have the opportunity to receive so much money for just a few hours of work. Work with the college you would like to attend to find out what is possible." Understand Your Opportunities An important part of understanding what's available is realizing that adult students have an abundance of financial opportunities available, many of them the same as recent high school graduates, says Pamela T. Rambo of Rambo Research and Consulting. As a college advisor for her consulting firm and a former college financial aid director and regional scholarship program director, she knows what's available to adult learners. Related: Grants For Women: Where to Find Them "The good news for adult students is that they can use the same resources to find scholarships for themselves as younger students can because popular scholarship websites Fastweb.com and Scholarships.com also include scholarships for more mature students," she says. "Some additional aid sources that are used by adult students include G.I. Bill benefits and sometimes, state Vocational Rehabilitation assistance as well as programs offered by state employment offices to help unemployed and underemployed people train for a new career. Adult students can also take advantage of tuition assistance programs offered by employers. They should also look in their communities for organizations that offer scholarships that are targeted for adult students." It can be tough to muster up the time and research needed to apply for college grants. However, by following these steps, it shouldn't be too arduous of a process, and you'll never know what type of grants you could be eligible for unless you try.

|Latakia, Oriental, Virginia
|Room Note:
|2 - Mellow
|MATCH (Alternatives) Pipe Tobacco
This is a match to Dunhill's "Early Morning Pipe". Sweet Oriental carefully blended with Bright and Red Virginias, pressed and lightly stoved. Great as the `first pipe` arousing the palate for the further pleasures of the day.
"This is a great mild manner smoke. I find that it is a very close match to Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe with one exception. This product is cut differently. Dunhill's EMP is cut into very short pieces, while Match is more of a ribbon cut. For my it is a great "go to" smoke. My wife likes the natural smell and for me, it leaves no yucky taste in my mouth. While I'm sure I'll keep a tin or two of Dunhill around, I"ll have several bags of this in the cellar."

The Good News from the Aral Sea
The BBC reminds us of when we first learnt of the Soviet disaster of the Aral sea and claims to bring us up to date on the eco-pessimism:
BBC : Aral Sea is 'world's worst disaster'
In spite of calls for international assistance to save the Aral Sea, efforts to stop the sea's evaporation by reducing water wastage or reducing irrigation have not yet materialised.
In June 2004, scientists predicted the sea would vanish within 15 years.
Strangely they don't actually bring us up to date - for that turn to the New York Times:
As a Sea Rises, So Do Hopes for Fish, Jobs and Riches - New York Times
The Aral Sea, which was once drained of 75 percent of its water, has this year taken on millions of cubic feet of new water years ahead of schedule, surpassing even the sunniest predictions made when a new dam was completed last summer.
With each month the water pushes back the desert just a little more.
The Aral Sea's 155-square-mile retreat from its original shoreline is frequently invoked as one of the 20th century's more jaw-dropping ecological catastrophes, a consequence of the Soviet-era policy of diverting the Aral's two main tributary rivers into canals to irrigate cotton plants across Central Asia.
Good news about man's capacity to undo some of the damage he has done - wonder why the BBC couldn't tell us that...

Tropical Cyclone Hadi is now a remnant low pressure area in the Southern Pacific Ocean. NASA's Aqua satellite passed over the storm and captured a visible image of it on March 12.
When NASA's Aqua satellite flew over Hadi's remnants, the MODIS instrument aboard captured a visible image that showed the strongest thunderstorms associated with the low appeared south of the center of circulation. The center was located near 15.1 south and 156.1 east, about 585 nautical miles/673.2 miles/ 1,083 km west of Vanuatu.
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center or JTWC noted that animated multispectral satellite imagery depicts an exposed, well-defined low-level circulation center with persistent deep convection over the southern semi-circle. The Special Sensor Microwave Imager aboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellite showed that the low-level center of circulation is elongated, and there are shallow bands of thunderstorms over the southern quadrant.
The JTWC noted on March 12, "Based on the lack of convective structure, marginal environment and weak model development, the potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours is downgraded to low."

> Mackerel with horseradish potatoes
Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time : 10mins
Serves: 4
Cooking kit: Smoking box and woodchips
A smoked mackerel lunch is super easy, tasty and is suitably impressive- looking to the neighbours on the next pitch.
Obviously you can smoke meats or even halloumi cheese if you want, but fish is particularly quick and simple to do.
There are many options for kit when it comes to smoking on a barbecue – and it doesn't have to be complicated. You need a barbecue with a lid. I use a smoking box from the Garden Gift Shop that nestles down between the heating elements on my barbecue. Or, it can be placed in glowing coals.
Alternatively you can use a very large old saucepan with a lid, put wood dust or chips on the bottom, place a makeshift grill in it (you can use one from a disposable barbecue) then place it over a gas hob flame to heat up and start smoking.
Choose your wood chips. I like beech or apple wood, but there are many different types that give subtly different flavours to the food. Just don't use treated wood that might have chemicals on it.
You can serve this with a salad, watercress is lovely. In fact you could, flake the mackerel to incorporate it with the salad.
See our video of Ali preparing this Smoked Mackerel and Horseradish dish.

JENNIE GARTH: I thought [Beverly Hills, 90210] had a beginning, middle, and an end. It was very neatly in its coffin and it was done. When they told me they were doing it, I thought: No! Like something sort of sacred was being disrupted. Some part of who I was and a piece of my history was being messed with. It took me a while to settle into that idea.
SHANNEN DOHERTY: Early on, my publicist got a call asking her ''Would she do it?'' I was kind of like, Why would I play Brenda Walsh again? There was an ''I Hate Brenda'' newsletter. Why would I possibly get myself back into that? I think it was too scary for me. I didn't want to go back to people hating me. It just wasn't something that I considered for a good chunk of time. At some point it hit me that this is what the fans wanted. They put a roof over my head. They allow me to eat and to feed my dogs. The only reason I survive is because of them. If there's one way to possibly say thank you, it is to go back and play a character that you never even liked yourself.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You didn't like Brenda?
DOHERTY: There were parts of Brenda I loved. They just took her in a really odd direction that I didn't necessarily agree with at the time. I still kind of look back and think, Eh, it's not what I would have done, but I understand. Every show has to have that character full of teenage angst and drama. I think she was driven by insecurity that was at the root of everything.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: For the new 90210, you were both involved with determining where Kelly and Brenda were in their lives. Jennie, the producers initially wanted Kelly to be a West Beverly Hills High School board member, right? How did she become a guidance counselor?
GARTH: I didn't want to be on the show for no reason. I wanted to have some value. When Gabe and [exec producer] Jeff [Judah] told me some of the things they were doing, I was like, ''Whoa. That is not 90210, people.'' They were trying to educate me [about] how teens are in high school today. It was so shocking to me that I thought I should bring a positive spin somehow. Of course, I have yet to guide or counsel anyone.
DOHERTY: I think they must have told you the same things they told me.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What kinds of things?
DOHERTY: All I know is there's a girl giving a guy a b--- job in the first episode.
GARTH: When they told me that, I thought, Aaron Spelling is rolling over in his grave right now.
NEXT PAGE: ''DOHERTY: At least for me there was an appreciation that we'd been through the first 90210 together and now we're going through it again, but in such a different way because we're both adults now.''

Strange crash
AMILO Notebook Pa 3515
I bought this notebook model in 2008. I tried to install Windows Vista and Windows 7 on this laptop and it did not work either in properly. It works perfectly for a few minutes at maximum settings and then get stuck (there are some squares on the screen,Like the desktop was broken in many pieces).Sometimes it works a whole day, and sometimes just a few minutes. I gotta stop button. It works perfectly on Windows XP. I did update the bios to version 1.16 as is recommended. But do the same.
How can I do to run a better version of Windows? I tried latest drivers from the video card manufacturer. And all updates to date. SystemDiagnostics tool finds no problem.
And no crash dump.
I will come back with some photos taken with phone.
Thank you.

West Coast Renewables is a business belonging to a local farming family – the Youngs. The proposal for a wind farm at Clachan, near Oban in Argyll, is introduced on behalf of his family by Rory Young, who after extensive investigation and consultation has drawn up the proposal with the belief that it constitutes the most effective means for supporting the future viability of the Young's traditional farming operations, whilst delivering tangible benefits to the local community.
The proposal is for installation of 9 Enercon E44 900kw turbines, 55 meters to hub height and 77 meters to tip height. These turbines are classified as medium size by comparsion to large turbines which are generally in excess of 100 meters to tip height. These medium sized turbines would be connected to a small substation on Clachan by underground cable and from there over to the Kilninver substation.
With over half a century of involvement with Luing and Clachan, the Young's feel a strong sense of responsibility for maintaining the surrounding area for future generations. The decision to propose these more compact turbines is a compromise that the Young family felt was important for meeting the need for sustaining and improving the area's productivity whilst being sympathetic to the local landscape. It is hoped that if Clachan Wind Farm goes ahead, tyhe development can help meet the Scottish target to increase the use of renewable energy, contribute to reducing the use of fossil fuels, make a difference to climate change, and importantly, deliver significant benefits directly to the local community.

My father-in-law and I take daily walks around the neighborhood out west Eugene. Today I spotted this bare branches tree hung with what looked like orange plastic ornaments. After all it is December so it couldn't be fruit, right? Well, on closer inspection it turns out these oval-shaped orange objects are fruit! I took a number of photos so you can see that some of the pieces are past ripe and really fruit. At first I thought maybe these were kumquat, but wikipedia says kumquats are olive sized and these ojectes were 4-4 1/2" long by 3-3 1/2" wide. I'd be delighted if someone could identify them. It just struck me as amazing that there would be a tree of any kind filled with fruit on a leaf-less tree in early December anywhere in Oregon except a hothouse, maybe.

Photo of the Week: Real, Sustainable Impact
July 26, 2013
Improved farming and business practices are transforming the lives of coffee producers in western Ethiopia.
Employees and members of the Shegole coffee farming cooperative in western Ethiopia examine records outside of the cooperative's office. In 2009, TechnoServe helped the cooperative obtain a loan to upgrade its wet mill, allowing farmers to produce high-quality coffee. As part of the Coffee Initiative, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, TechnoServe also helped Shegole improve its financial management practices and connect to buyers. With higher productivity, a business mindset and access to markets, Shegole members have boosted their incomes and contributed to improved roads and schools in the local community.
This is how an integrated approach to agricultural development creates real, sustainable impact in the lives of farming families. In 2012 alone, TechnoServe's work helped farmers increase their revenues by $43.8 million.

Reducing Bycatch Casualties, One Whale at a Time
As mentioned in our recently released Wasted Catch report, whales, dolphins, porpoises and other marine life are victims of bycatch, which is the catch of non-target fish and marine animals. Whales can become entangled in nets or trail fishing lines and gear that wraps around their fins, causing injuries and distress as the animals struggle to swim and reach the surface for air.

Four Years Later, BP Oil Spill Still Rearing its Oily Head in Florida
The Gulf coast of Florida is renowned for its soft white beaches, balmy weather and calm, clear waters. It's also infamous for being a mecca of debris from oil-rig related tragedies, which, until recently, were thought to have mostly finished their attack on Gulf coast beaches. But even after four years, trash from the BP oil disaster is still washing ashore and devastating coastal environments and communities.

Victory for Sharks: California Fin Ban Upheld in Court!
Yesterday, sharks received a huge victory when a federal district court upheld a California law that prohibits the possession and sale of shark fins throughout the state. California's 2011 law was originally challenged by a group of shark fin dealers and retailers who claimed the ban was discriminatory and in violation of federal law. The court ruled against all claims in the suit, specifically ruling that the law did not violate the Constitution's Equal Protection and Commerce Clauses, and that the law was not preempted by federal fisheries law.

Sea Turtle Protection: The Simple Truth
Atlantic fisheries kill hundreds of loggerhead sea turtles every year, as turtles are caught as bycatch and become trapped or drown in nets. This killing, however, can easily be avoided. There are known, proven solutions to this problem, like requiring more vessels to use turtle excluder devices (TEDs). But federal agencies continue to ignore the problems at hand and allow fisheries to operate in harmful ways.

Champion Skier, Ski Jumper Join Team Kellogg's™
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With the close of the 2013 international ski competition seasons, Kellogg's is proud to welcome two new athletes to Team Kellogg's™ as they work their way to the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. Fresh off of the medal podium, ski jumper Sarah Hendrickson and alpine skiing Olympic gold medalist Ted Ligety join Team Kellogg's 11-person team of Olympic legends, athletes and hopefuls striving to represent Team USA next year. Get to know the Team Kellogg's athletes and follow them on their journey at Kelloggs.com/TeamUSA.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130409/CG90940)
Joining Team Kellogg'sHendrickson and Ligety are the newest Team Kellogg's athletes to showcase how everyone from kids to athletes can realize their potential when they start the day right.
Sarah Hendrickson – Ski JumpingWhen Sarah Hendrickson began skiing at the age of two, she could have never imagined to what great heights she would soar. Her father was a ski jumper and after watching her brother ski jump for two years, Hendrickson was no longer content to just sit on the sidelines. Today, 18-year-old Hendrickson flies through the air at an extraordinary 60 miles per hour and is the third-ever woman to win the ski jumping world championship. Hendrickson looks to continue to make history as women's ski jumping makes its debut at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games."Every day I love ski jumping more and more," said Hendrickson. "And I look at each morning as a fresh start to take on the day and continue doing what makes me happy." Ted Ligety – Alpine SkiingGrowing up in Park City, Utah, it is not uncommon for kids to start skiing at a young age. However, not everyone becomes an Olympic medalist like Ted Ligety. Raised on the slopes, Ligety spent so much time skiing that he called the mountain his "babysitter" while growing up. It certainly paid off as Ligety raced his way from the Park City farm team up to the Park City ski team and finally the U.S. ski team. Ligety's drive and determination continued to help him earn Olympic gold at the Turin Games, and he has his sights set to do so again in 2014. "I couldn't be more thrilled to join the incredible athletes on Team Kellogg's and help show how a great start can lead to so many great things," said Ligety. "Breakfast fuels me for rigorous training each day, so it's an easy, but important part of performing your best." 2014 Team Kellogg's Team USA Athletes:

More than half of the world's top freight airports saw traffic declines last year, according to the latest figures from Airports Council International.
Total freight movements contracted 0.2 percent last year compared to 2011, with the 0.4 percent expansion in freight tonnage experienced on domestic routes overwhelmed by the 0.7 percent decrease on international lanes.
Although the world's top air freight hubs, Hong Kong and Memphis, achieved growth of 2.2 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively, 57 percent of the top 30 airports in terms of air freight volume experienced declines in 2012.
By contrast, global passenger traffic increased 3.9 percent year-on-year, with double-digit growth posted at leading emerging market hubs, including Istanbul, Jakarta, Dubai and Bangkok.
"Air freight had mixed results throughout 2012 with some months posting modest gains while other months posted declines," ACI World's Economics Director Rafael Echevarne said in a written statement. "Amid the significant downside risks in the Euro area and the fiscal deadlock in the United States throughout the year, growth in air freight came to an overall halt in 2012."
He said he was optimistic that higher growth for both passenger and freight traffic will be achieved in 2013 as the global economy and international trade pick up steam.

PhotoMedex Raises Fourth Quarter 2012 Revenue Forecast
PhotoMedex, Inc. (NASDAQ and TASE: PHMD) announces that it expects revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 to increase by more than 80% year over year and to be between $52 million and $54 million. This compares with previous guidance for fourth quarter revenue to increase by more than 60% over the same quarter of 2011, and to be between $46 million and $48 million. The Company attributes the quarterly revenue outperformance to the efficiency of holiday advertising in the Consumer business segment that is yielding sales above prior forecasts, as well as better-than-expected results in the Company's Physician Recurring and Professional business segments.
"We are pleased that all of our business segments are producing better-than-expected revenues and we are particularly delighted with the consumer response to our holiday advertising. Furthermore, I am proud of our team, which is producing record revenues in 2012. For the first time these revenues will exceed $200 million, and at an anticipated range of $218 million to $220 million, represent a gain of more than 65% over last year. We believe the operating initiatives put in place this past year position us well for continued growth in 2013," said Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, chief executive officer of PhotoMedex.

This is a perfect fit shoe! I only buy Merrell shoes because they are so comfortable and fashionable!
Sized as Expected
Everyday use!
I love these shoes. As soon as I put them on my feet felt supported, with plenty of room for my toes. I stand up all day at work, then come home, put on these shoes and walk with my dog for an hour. I've used them on the road and in the mountains and been happy every time. I would definitely recommend them to anyone with wide feet.
Sized as Expected
walking the dog
I took a nine hour hike in these the second time I wore them and they were perfect. No blisters anywhere; very happy feet. Well-ventilated on a hot day, but didn't let snow or water in while trudging across a glacier. Wide enough in the front (I have the wide width) but not too wide in the heel. Very lightweight but sturdy enough for scrambling on rocks and gravel. I sometimes wear a 8.5 but these were plenty roomy in an 8.
Sized as Expected
LOVE these shoes! I have 3 pairs. I have to use an orthotic insert due to cracking my foot 4 years ago. I need to buy the wide shoe for the insert. . I wear a size 10 but bought a 10.5 so the insert fits nice. I mainly use these for my everyday walks/5ks. They are light and sturdy. I will be buying more.
Sized as Expected
Everyday and hiking.
Love, Love, Love these shoes. This is my first pair of Merrells, but not my last. They keep my feet comfy and dry. True to size
Sized as Expected

Ideas and tips on Christening Cakes, baptism cakes,communion cakes and special occasion cakes
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I'm planning a birthday party and wanted to have something different instead of just a plain cake. I thought about making cupcakes in the shape of a 50 and a 10 but I haven't been able to find cupcake pans in that shape.
Has anyone ever seen this before?
I also thought about about making a cupcake cake in the shape of the numbers have you seen this before?
No related posts.Tags: birthday party, cupcake cake, CUPCAKES, plain cake, shape
You could make the cupcakes and with the use of a pastry bag write on top of each one of them like this one here
or you could use cookie cutters and cut a sheet cake and frost the top of the number or make cupcakes and cookies shaped into the numbers that you need.

Comic-Con: GOTHAM Cast and Creator Talk about Gotham as Its Own Character, What to Expect from Their Characters, and the Importance of the Penguin
by Bryce Fallon Posted 144 days ago
Television shows based off comic book superheroes and franchises are nothing new. With the recent booming successes of the Marvel and DC world, we now have shows like Arrow, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Carter, and The Flash, all building on heroes and worlds we have already seen. Fox's new show Gotham, however, may be one of the most ambitious attempts yet, choosing to focus not on the central character of Batman, but to explore the origins of the city itself and the insane cast of characters it has created, both good and evil. At the center of the show is Ben McKenzie as a young Detective Jim Gordon, who comes onto the force to work with veteran Harvey Bullock, played by Donal Logue. Main antagonists that emerge are Jada Pinkett Smith as an original character, Fish Mooney, and Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepott, the man who becomes the Penguin. Balancing out the cast are Erin Richards as Gordon's mysterious fiancee Barbara Kean,David Mazouz as Bruce Wayne, Camren Bicondova as Selina Kyle, and Sean Pert as Alfred Pennyworth.
Collider was able to speak with Logue, Pinkett Smith, Taylor, Richards, and series creator Bruno Heller while they were at Comic-Con. Hit the jump for some highlights.
