"My mom has been making this simple and delicious dessert for years. You can easily make this for other holidays by using different colored gelatins (e.g. try black cherry and orange for Halloween). IMPORTANT: Make sure that the bottom two layers are chilled long enough to become firm and that the top layer is cool before pouring in step 4 or the top layer will go under the cream cheese layer and not make the pretty layered dessert that you want."
Serving Size: 1 (40 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 24
"This is one of those 'traditional' desserts, and oh so yummy! I was a little worried it would all fit in the pan, and it does (within about 1/4"). I recommend pouring the top layer while the pan is IN the fridge to avoid sloshy spills. Also, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to follow the "traditional" preparation method on the jello (versus quick set or jigglers), but I did, and turned out fine so I guess that was right! I used one large box for the blue and red. Happy 4th! (The second photo I uploaded was from this year when I put them in 2oz shot glasses and served with demitasse spoons. so great for the kids! After 12 glasses, I still had enough to make a 8x8 pan as well)."
"Made a fun and festive dessert for 4th of July. Thanks for sharing the recipe!"
"Such a pretty salad. The kids loved it."
"A cute, festive dessert for the 4th of July."
"I have made this, but if I am taking it to a outdoor function, I add 2 packages of Knox Unflavored Gelatin to EACH layer.
This allows it to keep its form much longer.
I also make it in an metal pan, then place it in a ice bath. The metal pan allows for the ice to keep it cool, unlike plastic or glass, which are poor heat (cold) conductors."
"I made this yesterday for a family 4th of July picnic. I wish I could say it was a success, but it was not. The heat caused the layers to melt together in a matter of 15 minutes into a sticky, soupy mess - even with the pan bottom on ice and in the shade. I can't comment on the flavor since I thew the whole pan away and I'm holding off on rating this recipe for that reason. I am writing this review to caution others that this is NOT a good dish to take to an outdoor picnic if it will not be consumed immediately."
"I loved this recipe! I made it completely sugar-free for my diabetic father, (including using sugar-free cool whip) and used orange and red for Thanksgiving (fall colors). I also used the quick set method for all but the lemon middle. Everyone liked this and didn't think it tasted sugar free. I'm going to make this again for Christmas with red & green."
"I'm a little late reviewing but I made this for the 4th and it was delicious. I don't even like jello but I made it for the kids that were coming, I think I may have eaten more than they did! I used the quick set method for the jello and it worked out. So I guess you could do it either way. I loved it and it looked great. I used watermelon jello for the red though, and it was deelish. Thanks for an awesome recipe."
"Ok I really enjoyed this recipe but had a major problem on my side. I did not realize that my metal cake pan had a crack and therefore it made a huge mess all over and I ended up having to put a layer of paper towels in my fridge so the jello could set at least. That being said the blue was rather a small amount. I also used strawberry jello instead of raspberry. Made this fourth of July and decorated it with whipped cream to make it look like a flag (kind of)"
"Wow, Yummy, Wow! We made enough for 8 servings using just 1 box of strawberry jello and using individual ramekins. The filling (ours was cream cheese with strawberry jello) is so delicious and goes great between the jello layers. This made it like a 'Jello Strawberry Shortcake' and is sooooo good! Thanks so much for posting, We'll definitely be making this again. :)"
"This was a hit on the 4th of July! Took it to our friends house for a 4th BBQ. Very easy to make and tasted mmmmm good. I cut it in squares, put a squirt of whipped cream with a 1/2 a strawberry on top of each piece to serve. I will make it again for other holidays using other colors of Jell-O. Thank you for posting it."
"This was a big hit with my family for the 4th of July! It was so simple and looked wonderful when cut. We loved the creamy white layer. Thanks for posting."

I am never compelled to right a review about anything, but this food was so good I had to submit the positive feedback. I was almost dissuade by the $35 min delivery, but I'm so glad I made the order. I ordered the jerk chicken, fish sandwich and fried jerk shrimp; along with the curried veggies, potato salad and mac and cheese. Every part of the meal was delicious and packaged neatly. I will order from Smokey Island Grille again and again.

Bangin. I ordered the 8 piece jerk chicken dinner that comes w/ 3 sides so I could take the leftovers to work. The portions are plenty to last me for 3 full meals. The chicken was tasty and the sauce had the perfect bite to it, I couldn't stop using it. I ordered the mashed potatoes, okra & mac & cheese as my sides and they were all pretty good too. The delivery guy is also one of the chefs so he apologized for the wait, as he said he needs to update the delivery time on the site for a longer time. (as per the other reviewer, it took 1.5 hrs.) He was super nice about it and I wasn't fazed, as the food was worth the wait. Will definitely order from them again.

YUM! Their food is good! Had a couple of issues though. First time I tried to order, they had to cancel my entire order because they only had 1 of the 5 things I ordered. So tried my luck again and it was great! Issues with the actual order: 1) it took over 1 1/2 hours to get my food but apparently it was made from scratch so not really a bad thing except I was starving; 2) I ordered the jerk fish box but didn't get any corn muffins with my order; and, 3) ordered 2 sides of plantains but only got one. Also, be warned: if you're trying to feed more then one person, the sides that come with the boxes are single portions only. (Strange to get 8 pieces of fish but only one portion of rice, cabbage, etc.). A bit short in the side portions when trying to feed a family of 3. But food is definitely good! Will try them again to see if they'll be a regular on our seamless rotation.

Brooklyn-based journalist Caitlin Curran was fired from her part-time gig at WNYC, the innovative public radio station, because her boss found out that she attended an Occupy Wall Street protest. She's written about her termination at Gawker, where she wondered whether experiences like hers will "dissuade people who have jobs they want to keep from expressing their opinions." It's a disturbing possibility, but reading her story, I couldn't help but focus on a disturbing fact.
As regular readers know, Curran and her boyfriend, neither of whom I know, made a sign that displayed an excerpted phrase from an article I wrote. While Curran held it aloft in Times Square, someone snapped a photograph; soon afterward the image went viral. "I thought all of this could be fodder for an interesting segment on The Takeaway -- a morning news program co-produced by WNYC Radio and Public Radio International -- for which I had been working as a freelance web producer roughly 20 hours per week for the past seven months," Curran wrote. "I pitched the idea to producers on the show, in an e-mail. The next day, The Takeaway's general manager fired me over the phone, effective immediately. He was inconsolably angry, and said that I had violated every ethic of journalism, and that this should be a 'teaching moment' for me in my career as a journalist."
Presuming the accuracy of this account, her boss is wrong.
For too long, managers at American newspapers and public radio stations have clung to this confused, corrosive notion of journalistic ethics -- that it is always a breach to participate in a protest or be caught expressing a controversial opinion. They talk about preventing "the perception of bias," though the model of journalism they champion is often perceived as biased, and almost never because of the activities staffers participate in during their leisure hours. There is a general argument about why this allergy to civic participation is flawed, and a specific argument about why it's wrong in this case. I'll lay them out in turn.
To borrow a phrase, every editor who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that propagating the myth of "objective journalism" is indefensible. A newspaper or radio program may try to hide or obscure the fact that the people responsible for its content have opinions, convictions, and biases. But it is impossible to function as a journalist without making subjective judgment calls about newsworthiness, relevance and emphasis, or covering issues about which you have an opinion. Pretending otherwise requires willfully misleading the public.
An ethical journalist ought to be accurate. She ought to be fair. Her aim ought to be reporting the truth or earnestly advancing a logically sound argument, rather than enriching herself or bolstering her reputation or shilling for her partisan or ideological allies. It is perfectly legitimate for a journalistic organization to decide that it is going to publish or broadcast work that presents verifiable facts as neutrally as possible, and avoid permitting its employees to inject statements of opinion into their professional output. If that's what you mean by "journalistic objectivity," you've not run afoul of my views.
What is objectionable is the View from Nowhere, a term popularized in this context by Jay Rosen, a professor at NYU journalism school, my alma mater. "In pro journalism, American style, the View from Nowhere is a bid for trust that advertises the viewlessness of the news producer," he writes. "Frequently it places the journalist between polarized extremes, and calls that neither-nor position 'impartial.' Second, it's a means of defense against a style of criticism that is fully anticipated: charges of bias originating in partisan politics and the two-party system. Third: it's an attempt to secure a kind of universal legitimacy that is implicitly denied to those who stake out positions or betray a point of view. American journalists have almost a lust for the View from Nowhere because they think it has more authority than any other possible stance."
Journalistic outfits make a grave mistake by building their authority on the foundation of the View From Nowhere. I'll explain why as soon as Rosen makes one more point. "What authority there is in the position of viewlessness is unearned -- like the snooty guy who, when challenged, says, 'Madam, I have a PhD,'" he writes. "Real authority starts with reporting. Knowing your stuff, mastering your beat, being right on the facts, digging under the surface of things, calling around to find out what happened, verifying what you heard. 'I'm there, you're not, let me tell you about it.' Illuminating a murky situation because you understand it better than almost anyone. Doing the work! Having a track record, a reputation for reliability is part of it, too. But that comes from doing the work."
That ought to be the pitch that newspapers and public radio stations make to their audience. It might go something like this: "Yes, the field of journalism attracts more liberals than conservatives, more Occupy Wall Street participants than Tea Party ralliers, more urban dwellers than rural Americans, more college graduates than people without degrees, more Democrats than Republicans, more English majors than math majors, more secular people than religious people -- and although we value diversity of thought, experience and world view on our staff, the core of our value proposition is that we're accurate in our reporting, fair-minded in setting forth arguments and perspectives even when we don't agree with them, transparent about who we are, attune to our biases and constantly trying to account for them, and insistent that we be judged by our output, not our political or religious or ideological identity, or what we do on weekends. Judge us by our work, and if you challenge it in good faith we'll engage you."

We will be spending much of this year dealing with the implementation of Common Core Standards. They put teachers back in control of crafting and tailoring the education of their students. Critical thinking skills can now be part of our students' educational foundation, and we can decide how to best teach that.
And while we support the Standards, we do not support the high-stakes testing that some want to bring along with them.
It is our belief that we cannot test simply for the sake of testing. Student assessments must be thoughtful in their purpose and must include both formative and summative pieces so that learning is assessed throughout the year. This includes educators creating authentic, classroom-based curriculum and assessments along with high quality professional development that is directed by educators.
Contrary to claims by the testing industry, teachers and parents support testing -- as long as the testing is fair and in alignment with the state standards and with what is being taught in the classroom. For many years, students have been tested in subjects not yet taught in class; English-language learners are expected to take tests in English; and, Special Education students are subjected to the same tests as students in regular classrooms.
To help you make sense and make better use of the current standards-based reform movement, the information listed below will provide some background on current efforts to improve schools by using tests. It also provides information that can be used in the classroom immediately to improve instruction in a standards-based and test-driven educational system.
Ultimately, you are the expert. You are in the best position to judge how to link standards with instruction and testing to benefit your students. This resource should help you discover how to do that.
Note: The California Code of Regulations prohibits any program of specific preparation for the statewide pupil assessment program or a particular test used therein. Test release questions should not be used to develop practice tests that would mimic or parallel state tests, nor should they be used for teaching or drilling students only on the released items.
-- Title 5, Section 854 (a.) based on California Education Code, Section 60611.
"In order to reduce the over-use and abuse of standardized tests, we need a brave solution from the federal government—such as a return to grade span testing. The sheer volume of tests and test prep that students must endure because of over-testing in America's schools takes away from students' time to learn and does nothing to close opportunity gaps," said NEA President Lily Eskelsen Garcia.

That is exciting that you are TCC so soon -- only a few more weeks! I grew up with siblings close to my age, my older brother is 15 months older than me and my younger brother is 20 months younger than me..and I loved growing up in a house where there was always someone to do something with. I think we are going to start trying in October, so that is only 6 months away!!
|Mon, 04-13-2009 - 10:34pm
Hi. Thanks for responding...I know that we should just do what we feel is right which I think is waiting a least until October, but that is only six months away. It sounds like you have a lot of exciting things going on in the next year or so...do you live far away from "home" right now? i feel like we are constantly moving and finally we have lived somewhere for more than 3 years and it is finally starting to be home even though we are thousands of miles from our families. I hope you have a good week!!

Dubai shares fell, leading stock market declines across the Middle East, as escalating violence in Iraq reignited a sell-off.
The Muscat Securities Market said there is a technical defect in its electronic trading program.
Oman Oil Co., the sultanate's state- owned energy producer, plans to sell shares in some of its businesses to the public, the Muscat Securities Market said.
As many as three companies in Oman are this year expected to offer shares to the public as the Muscat Securities Market seeks to build on government plans to sell state-owned assets, the bourse's director general said.
The following companies may rise or fall in Gulf Arab markets. Stock symbols are in parentheses and prices are from the last close.
Nawras, a communications provider in Oman, said its plans for an initial share sale and listing on the Muscat Securities Market remain on track and it will make further statements in coming weeks, according to an e-mailed statement.
Sembcorp Industries Ltd., Southeast Asia's biggest utility, said the initial public offering of its water and power venture in Oman was the largest of the year there and raised 53 million rials ($138 million).
Oman's Transport and Communications Ministry started work on a 55 million riyals ($143 million) project to expand the general cargo terminal and liquid jetty at Salalah Port, according to a filing on the Muscat Securities Market.

|When I couldn't get to your album the 1st time, I said, "Aw, shucks!" I was looking forward to the seasons of your yard. I can say it was well worth the wait! :D
I have to say I recognize most of your plants, because I have them too ~but they don't look near as pretty as yours! Wonderful groupings & photography of them! Well, I don't have any Tulips or a brilliant orange tree (What IS that, anyway? A type of sugar Maple?)! You live somewhere in Texas that gets that WHITE STUFF?! Eek!
Oh! I loved all the statuary & garden art! It is used well.
It was grand to take a tour. Felt like I was there! Thanks a bunch!
Here is a link that might be useful: this link should work-direct to album
|Last year my Chinese Pistachios looked like pumpkins on a stick. It was really kind of hard to get photos to do the actual colors justice. The smaller ones with red berries are Washington Hawthorns.
Thanks for your kind comments.

|Thanks for the direct link, Rosemarie. And thanks, rcnaylor, for the tour of your garden. Fabulous photos!
|Wow! What nice photographs... not to mention the Garden. I live where there is only 2 seasons.... Hot and Hotter! I don't think we've seen a day below 50 this year. Oh how I woulld love some snow!
Back to your garden....it is wonderful, thanks for taking the time to share!

|Beautiful pictures and plants!
|Seems you've put a lot of thought into your color compositions. Your garden is truly lovely- no matter what the season!
|Hi, when I go to that link I get an ad for the link but it doesn't tell me what to click on to see pics.
|Hi Joan. My first effort to link the Webshots page was faulty. I think you should be able to see the pics if you use the link in the fifth post kindly provided by Rosemarie on this thread. The photos should just show up for you on that one and all you have to do is click on them or the slideshow option.
Sorry for the initial mess up.
And thanks to all for the nice thoughts about my pics. I'll try to do another webshots album soon.
|Hey guys, the album above was chosen by Webshots as one of its featured albums today. I am sure it came to their attention because of the hits you folks here made on it.
So, any recognition that goes with that is thanks in large measure to you guys. Thanks!
|What kind of tree was that? It's beautiful!! Well, everything was beautiful, but I love trees.
|The colorful ones were Chinese Pistachios. The smaller ones with red berries were Washington Hawthorns.

|Well Crazy4hydrangeas, like parents in regards to their children, gardeners and photogs never tire of hearing nice things about their efforts. Thanks.
Everyone has really been exceptionally kind.

Snow removal puts state $6 million in hole
A Department of Transportation plow truck treats the road way at the Interstate 93 and Interstate 293 split in Manchester on Tuesday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
The state budgeted about $39 million for winter maintenance but expects to spend about $45 million. Last winter totaled about $32 million for "a relatively mild winter," department spokesman Bill Boynton said Tuesday.
"As always is the case, we don't know how the winters are going to play out," Boynton said, noting last month ranked as the worst month in 20 years on a winter severity index that measures the effect of weather on maintaining roads.
Before Tuesday's storm, Concord already had 72 inches of snow this winter, 17.2 inches above normal.
At the same point last year, the city saw 48.9 inches compared to a normal 54.8 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
A fleet of 310 state plow trucks and 437 hired trucks cleared 4,600 miles of state-maintained roads Tuesday. A statewide storm typically costs about $565,000 for an eight-hour shift without overtime, including staff, equipment and salt. An eight-hour overtime shift runs $609,000.
Some crews in southwest New Hampshire were called out at 10 p.m. Monday.
Last winter's budget had more than $7 million left over, with some of that money devoted to tasks such as tree trimming and guardrail work in the summer, Boynton said.

Aspiring young Uttoxeter actors take to larger stages in preparation for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Posted: April 14, 2014|
ASPIRING thespians from a Uttoxeter high school are to take to larger stages in Stafford and Burton ahead of their big week performing in an international culture festival.
The Alleyne's Fringe Group has put the hours in to create a professional theatre production based on Arthur Conan Doyle's Hound of the Baskervilles and is now to take to the stage at the Burton Brewhouse and the Rising Brook Baptist Church in Stafford.
The team have raised money for the Donna Louise Trust, a children's hospice, in conjunction with selling tickets and raising support for the venture, and have raised in the region of £400 for the hospice to date, a figure which will increase as the shows go on.
Joe Mathews, project manager of the Alleyne's Fringe Group said: "We're feeling excited and nervous ahead of the big evening but it will be a great preparation and great motivation for the upcoming Fringe Festival slots."
Tickets are available for the Burton Brewhouse nights on April 16 and 17 by calling the Brewhouse on 01283 508100 or alternatively by purchasing tickets on the night at the venue.
Tickets are available on the door for the Stafford show at the Rising Brook Baptist Church.
The team are urging Uttoxeter people to come along and support them for what promises to be a 'fantastic' night of theatre.
Joe added: "The local performances are a landmark in the groups quest to produce a magnificent show to take to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2014- a venue for which we now have confirmed with The Space UK.
"The project was only made possible with brilliant support from the town.
"All that lies ahead are exciting prospects for the group and I would like to thank everyone on behalf of the team for your input in the project and giving us this opportunity to do what we are most passionate about, acting on one of the world's biggest stages and at such a young age.
"The experience that the group will benefit from is simply invaluable, as is your support.
"I hope to see you at one of our local performances for what will be an enthralling night of theatre."

Cognac. PF Reserve from a Reidel Som XO glass. I am finishing up a semester, am totally sick of it, my girlfriend has been away and I am in a bad, bad mood. But this spirit is really, really, really soothing. I have not had cognac in a while and forgot how much I liked it.
Also not sure I can restrain myself well with a cask of Negroni. It's turned into my (almost) daily drink. I could barely stomach Campari earlier this year
Drinking one now actually, albeit with a splash of Cherry Marnier. Not sure it really adds anything special, but it's a little different.
The first night that I tapped that puppy was actually hard. I measured out 3 oz so I would know how much I was drinking. I had two, and I really, really, really wanted to go back to the well. Hard. I remember, I had a paper due, so I didn;t.
Cherry Marnier!! I have a bottle from the '70s that my father got for a gift; I know it is sold but I have not seen one since. I love cherry flavors in cocktails, and am always trying to work them in; must have like 5 cherry spirits.
Tonight, an Aurora, a concoction I couldn't find anywhere else on the web when I came up with it a few years ago, despite the simple recipe, so I named it myself and claim it as my own. IMO, it's really good. I've mentioned it a few times here.
2.5ish oz gin (Death's Door tonight)
.75 oz St. Germain
.75 oz Lime Juice
Shaken, garnished with a lime twist.
I should make this because it sounds excellent.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- A monkey has gone missing in Lawrenceville.
A 2-year-old female rhesus monkey was counted absent from its compound at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center near Collins Hill Road more than a week ago, according to a statement released by the center.
Officials noticed the primate, which weighs about five pounds, was missing from its compound during a June 15 veterinary exam of the center's animals.
Each compound inside the 117-acre Emory University field office is fenced in with sheet metal at the top and "block walls" connecting individual compounds, spokeswoman Lisa Newbern said Thursday. Yerkes personnel are unsure how the monkey may have escaped.
"We don't know, and certainly that's something that we're looking at," Newbern said. "Part of this process is looking at the structural integrity, seeing if anything came loose."
Newbern said this was the first incident of an animal escaping from the center that current employees "can think of."
The field office, opened in 1966, sits near the intersection of Collins Hill and Taylor roads, nestled among several subdivisions and a short distance from Collins Hill High School.
Newbern said residents of the Westchester Commons, Edgewater and Richland neighborhoods have been warned about the monkey, though officials stressed that it does not have the herpes B virus, "something common" to the species of rhesus macaques.
"This animal was in the process of being assigned to a behavioral research study, which is the focus of the research at the Yerkes Field Station," the center's statement read. "The animal was not part of a scientific study in which it would have been infected with any disease."
Several different units of personnel searched the monkey's compound and surrounding areas immediately following its disappearance. Newbern said she wouldn't be surprised if the primate in question was still somewhere in the field office, "but the only fact that's certain is that the animal is missing."
Those who see the monkey are asked to call the Yerkes Research Center at 404-727-7732 or Gwinnett County Animal Control at 770-339-3200. They are urged to "treat it like a wild animal and not approach it," Newbern said.
Lt. Mary Lou Respess of animal control said her crews are not "actively looking for" the primate, and that they were alerted basically so they would not dismiss any calls regarding the animal as a prank.
"We don't want to harm it if we can avoid it," Respess said, "but we also don't want to scare people."
Meanwhile, a fake Twitter account for the monkey, dubbed @EmoryMacaqueEsc, popped up Thursday. The "monkey" mostly retweeted others' comments about "herself" and replied to a limited number of followers.
The account's location was listed, of course, as "a secret."

Madison, WI – From pizza with the kids to an exquisite meal celebrating a special occasion, diners will be treated this fall to three days of local foods during REAP Food Group's Local Harvest: A Taste of the Town, October 12th-14th. Local Harvest is a seasonal celebration of local foods and chefs who turn local ingredients into great meals. Twelve participating restaurants will create unique, flavorful specialties to showcase how they incorporate local foods into a delicious menu.
A seasonal event, Local Harvest is a perfect opportunity to try out many of your neighborhood restaurants that purchase from local farmers. New to the event this year Bloom Bake Shop will feature local ingredients in their scrumptious cupcakes and La Fortuna will be serving incredible pizzas made in their mobile wood fired oven. Classical favorites include Lombardino's, Sardine, Harvest and Greenbush Bar all featuring local specialties of their own. A few near-eastside favorites this year include Alchemy Café, Bunky's Café, Monty's Blue Plate Diner and The Weary Traveler. With a five-course dinner at the Dayton Street Grille, you will taste the best of many featured farms. The new duo on the square of L'Etoile and Graze will top off the list of participants.
Local Harvest is not just an opportunity to savor Southern Wisconsin's seasonal bounty; diners are contributing to building a more sustainable food system by supporting local establishments that buy locally. Participating restaurants donate a portion of the proceeds to REAP Food Group's Buy Fresh Buy Local program (BFBL). BFBL Southern Wisconsin is a program of REAP (Research, Education, Action and Policy) Food Group, a Madison based nonprofit organization that is promoting a more healthful, just, and both environmentally and economically sustainable food system.

Player Studio wants you to forge the next badass
Matt Higby doesn't know what the future of his game may hold, and he's frankly OK with that. We prodded him with questions about Player Studio, the new marketplace we've blogged about before where gamers can upload and sell their own creations (similar to Valve's strategy).
Mr. Higby wants more of it in there: "People are doing a great job on camos, but there are almost no decals -- which is shocking despite being the easiest to create." You can make some real world loot by submitting helmets, decals, camo patterns, cockpit decals, hood ornaments. "Eventually, you'll also be able to submit vehicle cosmetics and even weapons," he added.
When we asked him what the company does with ugly submissions he smiled and admitted that "Some stuff frankly sucks, but the community is great about telling people (in the forums) about what's good and not good. We can't let everything through, but some really great stuff has come in."

The Cardinals torched the Colts on Sunday, 40-11, which is one point smaller than the Rams' margin of victory when they clobbered Indianapolis, 38-8, two weeks ago.
Falling behind early has become a huge problem for the Colts, who have been outscored, 93-12, in the first halves of the last four games.
A dry heat
Arizona has won four in a row, and Sunday's victory over Indianapolis was a special one for Cardinals Coach Bruce Arians, who last season led the out-of-nowhere Colts to the playoffs as an interim head coach.
But to get where they want to go, the Cardinals have to start winning division games. They have lost their last six NFC West games, and are 0-3 in the division this season. Three of their final four games are against division rivals, with St. Louis and San Francisco at home, and Seattle on the road.
Long day
Brothers Chris and Kyle Long squared off against each other when St. Louis played host to Chicago, and what transpired wasn't always pretty.
In the second quarter of Chicago's 42-21 loss, a scuffle broke out in which Kyle Long, a Bears guard, kicked Rams defensive end William Haynes. Chris, also a Rams defensive end, sprinted off the sideline to pull his brother out of the fight.
"It's tough," said Chris, the eldest of Hall of Famer Howie Long's three sons. "One of your best friends [Haynes] and your brother. . . . Yeah, you think about it, but it's not the first time I've restrained him. I think both of those big strong guys probably needed to be restrained there. They're two of the strongest people I know. I'm just glad everybody got out of there OK. It's just a heated game."
In losing to Baltimore, the New York Jets broke their pattern of win-loss-win-loss-win-loss, which had gone on all season. In the last three games, Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith has completed eight, eight and nine passes.
Showdown Sunday
The schedule in two weeks features a couple of huge division games, with San Francisco playing host to Seattle and 8-3 Carolina playing at New Orleans.
The 8-3 Panthers have won seven in a row, and quarterback Cam Newton has brought them from behind in the last three. He brought them back Sunday for a 20-16 victory at Miami.
"We didn't play our best early on; we couldn't get it going," said Newton, who ran for 51 yards with a touchdown, and threw the winning touchdown pass to tight end Greg Olsen with 43 seconds left. "But we just find ways to win."
Steely resolve
Pittsburgh has played its way back into the AFC wild-card conversation after losing its first four games. The Steelers posted a 27-11 victory at Cleveland on Sunday, running their record to 25-5 against the Browns since Cleveland got its team back in 1999.
"When we were 0-4, we knew we couldn't get four straight wins in one week," Steelers rookie running back Le'Veon Bell said. "We had to chip away at it. . . . Now we're 5-6, so we're just going to keep grinding and grinding."
Go figure
Some people scoff at statistics, saying number crunchers put too much emphasis on the amount of yards given up or gained.
Well, here's some ammunition for those skeptics.
Heading into Sunday's games, Houston boasted the No. 1 defense and No. 8 offense in terms of yards.
The Texans were beaten by Jacksonville, extending their franchise-record losing streak to nine games.
Tied in knots
Minnesota and Green Bay played to a 26-26 deadlock, just the fourth NFL tie since 1998. No doubt Sunday's outcome generated a simultaneous and spontaneous reaction from thousands of fans trying to keep warm in the Green Bay stands:

The volume of containers handled by the Port of Virginia soared 24 percent to 188,658 20-foot container units in August from 151,975 TEUs in the same month a year earlier, in part because the port's 50-foot channel is drawing more post-Panamax vessels.
"The market, I believe, is beginning to respond to all that we have prepared for," said Michael Quillen, chairman of the Virginia Port Authority Board of Commissioners. "We have big ships calling that need our 50-foot draft, an increasing demand on rail, and we're expanding our market."
For the year-to-date, the port has handled 1,363,769 TEUs, an increase of 8 percent from 1,262,957 TEUs handled during the same period last year.
Rail containers handled in August totaled 34,528, a 22.8 percent increase year-over-year. The year-to-date total for rail containers is 247,217, up 15 percent from 215,013 for the same period last year.
The number of containers moved between the Port of Richmond and Hampton Roads harbor on the 64 Express barge service in August was 780, an increase of 200 percent year-over-year. The year-to-date total for the barge is up 105 percent to 5,978 containers from 2,915 containers handled during the same period in 2011.
In August, there were 172 ship calls, compared with 151 in August 2011, an increase of 13.9 percent. The year-to-date ship calls total is 1,310 vs. 1,202 for the same period last year, an increase of 9 percent.
The number of containers handled by the Virginia Inland Port at Fort Royal in August jumped 34.8 percent to 3,465 from 2,570 a year earlier. For the year-to-date, VIP is running about 4.8 percent ahead of last year.
The port's breakbulk volume totaled 25,413 tons, an increase of 15.3 percent from August 2011. Year-to-date, breakbulk cargo increased 6.6 percent to 237,570 tons from 222,961 tons last year.

The science-fiction drama "Gravity" was the big winner numerically Sunday night at the 86th annual Academy Awards, receiving seven Oscars, including best director, cinematography and visual effects.
But the outer-space film starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney did not nab the most coveted prize of the night, best picture. That honor went to "12 Years a Slave," a historical drama about Solomon Northup, a free black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the South. "12 Years a Slave" also won Oscars for best adapted screenplay and best supporting actress.
"Everyone deserves not just to survive, but to live," said Steve McQueen, director of "12 Years a Slave" and one of its producers. "This is the most important legacy of Solomon Northup."
McQueen, a British citizen and the first black filmmaker to win the best picture Oscar, dedicated his trophy to the millions who endured slavery and the "21 million who still suffer slavery today."
"Gravity" also picked up Academy Awards for best original score, film editing, sound editing and sound mixing. The movie, directed by Mexican auteur Alfonso Cuarón, ended the evening one shy of a record for most Oscars won without winning best picture. That distinction was achieved by "Cabaret," the 1972 musical film directed by Bob Fosse.
Matthew McConaughey, who played electrician and hustler Ron Woodroof in the AIDS pharmaceuticals drama "Dallas Buyers Club," won the Oscar for best actor, and Cate Blanchett won best actress for her role as a wealthy socialite and wife of a swindler in "Blue Jasmine." Jared Leto won best supporting actor for "Dallas Buyers Club," and Lupita Nyong'o won best supporting actress for "12 Years a Slave."
"Thank you to the academy for this incredible recognition," said Nyong'o, a Kenyan who was educated in the U.S. "It doesn't escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is due to so much pain in someone else's." Nyong'o was referring to Patsey, the tortured slave she played in the brutal 19th century drama.
As she clutched her golden Oscar trophy, she said, "When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind me and every child, no matter where you're from, your dreams are valid."
Comedian and TV talk show mainstay Ellen DeGeneres hosted for the program for the second time. The first was in 2007. She entertained the well-dressed audience and proved to be a safer and less offensive choice than last year's controversial host Seth MacFarlane.
"Movies inspire us – I'm not saying movies are the most important thing in the world, because we all know the most important thing in the world is youth," DeGeneres joked.
She continued, "No, we all know the most important thing in life is love and friendship and family. And if people don't have those things, well then they usually get into show business."
DeGeneres addressed the rain that Southern California has been experiencing during the past few days. Fortunately, that rain stopped around noon, before the star-studded red carpet arrivals event.
"It has been raining," she said, largely to a TV audience that last year topped 40 million. "We're fine. Thank you for your prayers."
The host lightly poked fun at celebrity audience members, including Jennifer Lawrence, who fell Sunday on her way to the red carpet, as she did when climbing stairs last year to accept the best actress award for "Silver Linings Playbook."
"If you win tonight, I think we should bring you the Oscar," DeGeneres said to a laughing Lawrence, who was nominated (but lost) for best supporting actress in "American Hustle."

Arenal Volcano and Hot Springs Day Trip from San Jose
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Arenal Volcano and Hot Springs Day Trip from San Jose. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Nice driver and guide. Good food. The hot Springs made my extremely dry skin so soft for several days later. It made for a nice day trip from San Jose.
Baldi hot spring were amazing and great food
It would have been nice to walk on one of the trails near the Arenal volcano
Excellent tour! I was in San Jose for business and had 1 day to explore and have fun. This tour is just perfect for that because you get to see so much of the country. But beware you are gone for more than 13 hours. Also, you should know the driving in Costa Rica can be pretty scary.
This tour was a fun way to spend the day, and really a good value. As other reviewers have mentioned, the food was excellent, especially the buffet dinner at the hot springs. The bus ride was comfortable enough, included basic info about Costa Rica from the guide, who was friendly and helpful, and kept to the schedule well. There were stops along the way which provided opportunities to pick up some pretty good souvenirs. The actual stop at the volcano viewpoint was good, but since this is an Arenal Volcano day trip, I had expected a little more time actually observing the volcano. Maybe a second stop at another viewpoint would have been nice. It wasn't a huge problem though, as we got to move on to the hot springs where we had VIP access for the afternoon. This was a great way to wind down later in the day, and the hot springs facilities are beautiful.
Overall, what this tour had to offer was very satisfactory. I would have liked a little more time to see the volcano, but the other aspects of the day trip were great. I appreciated that the tour company was environmentally conscious, already holding a decent green rating and looking to improve their rating soon. The tour guide was good, and the hotel pick-up and drop-off was easy. I think that you will enjoy this trip, especially if you are looking for a fun and decently priced day trip out of San José.
Great tour overall. The drive to Arenal was long and curvy through the OMG road. Lunch was delicious but wasn't buffet style. Hot spring was great and refreshing. Dinner was buffet and was delicious. Highly recommend!
Arenal is picturesque, it was a cloudy day when we went so didnt see the cone of the volcano up close. its worth doing
Die Tour ist im allgemeinen sehr schön! Leider konnten wir wetterbedingt den Vulkan nicht sehn, was wohl auch recht häufig vorkommt. Die Hot Springs im Anschluss sind jedoch sehr empfehlenswert und erholsam. Das Essen war sowohl Mittags als auch Abends sehr gut.
Loved the tour, tour guide, and other participants. The driver drove safely and the hot springs were amaaaazing. There are only 2 things keeping me from giving this 5 stars... 1. lunch was mediocre 2. once I was on the bus I was told there were 2 hot springs destinations and if I wanted to go to the deluxe one I had to pay an extra $28. I feel like this should have been made clear in the trip description beforehand. I did pay the extra money and I think it was worth it!
This tour was great. You get to see much of the countryside and the view are wonderful. The hot springs they give you a key for a locker and a towel which was great. They are beautiful and very relaxing.
My negative was out tour guide Alfredo spoke mostly in spanish and we had to keep asking him to talk in english. I felt I missed much information since he spoke mostly spanish. He also was not credible in his facts. He stated items that we Americans all knew were false. Midway through the tour we changed buses and they second guide was much better and spoke much more in english. They company should have english only and spanish only tours.
This was a great tour that my friends and I really enjoyed. We got lucky and caught a clear day during the rainy season. The drive and the Arenal volcano surroundings are very scenic. Baldi was also fun and relaxing.
*Nice full-day of activities, without being too burdened by a tour guide or pressured to buy things
*Delicious lunch
*Great tour for a first time visitor to CR
*Long drive from San Jose (3.5 hours on a bus)
*Dinner buffet at Baldi was just ok...lunch was WAY better
*Detour to drop folks off at another hot springs resort was LONG and along some very rough terrain
Good trip se los recomiendo a todos la van a pasar muy bien .La naturaleza increible.
It is quite good overall, especially about the 3 hours we spent at the hot springs. But the drive from San Jose to the volcano is too long (about 3.5 hours). It is a scenic drive, but on the way back to San Jose, it's all dark, you won't be able to see anything.
The hot springs they took us to was Baldi. It was under going renovations in a very small area. The place was still amazing and very clean!!! A wonderful place to end our time in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
Christopher T
The trip was a lot of fun and our guide was great - very knowledgable and friendly. Even thought it was cloudyrainy for much of the day, we were able to get good views of the volacno saw it erupt 3 times. The food was also really good, and the hot springs were amazing! I'd definately recommend this trip. However, participants should be aware that it's more of a 14-15 hour trip as compared to the 11 hours advertised.
Virna G
The trip was great but the bus broke down, and they did not notify us until we had waited almost three hours. Everythihg was rescheduled and we went the day after the original schedule.

For the next several weeks we'll be highlighting a book-a-day from the 25-title Best Translated Book of 2008 fiction longlist, leading up to the announcement of the 10 finalists. Click here for all previous write-ups.
I'd Like by Amanda Michalopoulou, translated from the Greek by Karen Emmerich. (Greece, Dalkey Archive)
For me, this collection of linked stories (or collection of unwritten novels? or metafictional labyrinth?) has been the most pleasant surprise on the Best Translated Book fiction longlist so far.
Back a few years ago, when I was working at Dalkey Archive, I wrote the grant application that got this book a decent amount of funding from the NEA and Greek Government as part of the "International Literary Exchange" program that Dana Gioia of the NEA had put together. Anyway, at that time, Ana Lucic had found out about Amanda Michalopoulou and was able to give me a reader's report and a short sample of the book to help with writing the grant. (In case you're wondering, it's great fun writing grants about books you haven't read in their entirety. On one hand, providing details about why a book is grant-worthy becomes a bit more tricky, but it's easier to believe that a book is "one of the most important works of the time" without any contradictory literal evidence.)
The sample that I remember reading is the story "What Will You Do Next?" in which a character and his author have a conversation on the phone. It's a very playful, and very well done story, that got me excited about the book as a whole. (And btw, Karen Emmerich's translation was incredibly well done. The Emmerich family is a wee bit talented.) But I left Dalkey before the finished translation arrived and over the winter break, finally had a chance to read this book and see just how imaginative, captivating, and complex it is.
When I read "linked stories" in jacket copy, I assume that some of the same characters appear from one story to the next. A baker in story one becomes the protagonist of story four, etc. But I'd Like is a bit more complicated than that. In her own words, Michalopoulou tried "to write stories that would read like versions of an unwritten novel. Or, better, to write the biography of those stories as well as their fictional writer."
The result is somewhat reminiscent of Nicholas Mosley's Impossible Object in which a character in one story seems to the be author of a few others, but each time the reader feels she's figured it all out, the line between fiction and reality jumps once again, and you're left wondering just how these gem-like stories really fit together.
I'm probably making this sound more confusing than it is . . . Part of Michalopoulou's triumph is the way in which each story can be read and thoroughly enjoyed independent of the others, but the motifs littered throughout the book help create a sort of grand mosaic when taken as a whole. And it's through these recurring lines and scenes—the older sister who dies in a car accident, the mom who is tragically injured, the idea that rain only exists inside us and we see it externally when it's "raining for enough people," the red beret, etc.—that the reader starts to see a knotted metafictional pattern emerge.
Monica Carter (curator of Salonica World Lit) reviewed this for us a few months back and called for publishers to bring out more of Michalopoulou's work . . . More recently, Monica interviewed Michalopoulou for Context that touches on the "recurring motif" aspect of the book (and other things):
MC: It's interesting that you felt you need to strengthen the presence of the red beret. I loved its appearance throughout I'd Like. I also felt that there was a definite drive to communicate certain ideas and themes, as though these stories were a form of release. Were you conscious of that, or was it more of an exploration of each character?
AM: It was both. Characters are the vehicles of ideas, but they have to work as characters. If not, you're writing theory, not literature. The idea behind the characters in this book is that family can be a mechanism of oppression. I guess all my characters feel very clearly that they are obeying other people's wishes. Writing can be a true act of disobedience, so the desire the younger sister has to write these stories down is a step towards salvation. I believe that writing can and should do that: save characters who are suffering, and, possibly, their author as well.
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .

I wonder how much faster my server would be if I ran it off of a 64 GB SSD... It would only be a $115 upgrade. Though, site speed would still be limited by the 3 Mbps upload rate. I long for 25/25 FiOS...
Server Upgrade Finally Complete!
I finally did it! The new server has all the parts that used to be in my old gaming machine, but it has the same HDDs as before (because I'm too lazy and cheap to get it a 1 TB SATA drive and image it from the old drives). For some reason, one of the NICs on the motherboard is present in the OS and activated in the BIOS but doesn't light up when a network cable is inserted. Oh, well; it has two, so it's no big deal. It also decided not to keep its network settings after a reboot, so I put the dhclient command in the /etc/init.d/rc.local file. Everything works now. There's a possibility that this will also be a TF2 server in the near future.
New-old server specs:
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
- ROG Crosshair II Formula Motherboard
- 10 GB 5400rpm OS drive
- 80 GB 7200rpm Data Drive
- 430W Antec Earthwatts 80 Plus PSU
I'll definitely be posting to the blog a lot more now that the server won't hang every time I publish a post!
Speed Increase?
Well, I've recently had my Internet connection upgraded to 24 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream from 3 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. I love it. Can you see a 3X speed increase in the blog's loading time? No? It's the stupid slow server's fault. That will soon be remedied, however, because I almost have sufficient funds to upgrade the server. We so excited. ;D
P.S. Follow me on Twitter—I post there when what I'm posting is too short to justify a blog post. If you already are following me, you know about my fancy new old 60 Hz analog oscilloscope.
MakerBot Fixes and Upgrades
Well, I just bought some new parts for my Makerbot. First, because my build platform broke, I bought the MakerBot Heated Build Platform Kit. I decided that, since I was switching back to ABS, I should be using a heated platform. I also didn't want to pay for a normal build platform now and pay for a heated build platform later when I'll really want it. Second, I bought the Magnetic Rotary Encoder PCB. I got 3 samples of the chip a while ago, so I just bought this because it may come in handy in the future. Also, I wanted to practice soldering SMT parts by hand. Finally, I bought the MK5 Drive Gear Upgrade Kit because it's just so much better than the current one.
I fixed the blog!
Yay me! I downloaded the entire database as a .sql file, opened it up in gedit, did a Find/Replace for cyrozap.blogdns.com to cyrozap.com, restored the database with that file, and I was done! I'm sure I could have done a similar thing from the command line, but I don't know MySQL very well.
Mission accomplished! ;D
Strange happenings with the blog...
For some reason, it only works in Google Chrome—all other browsers that I've tried (Firefox, IE, Safari) don't show the theme. I've changed the theme, repaired the database, but nothing works. Maybe if I didn't change the domain and upgrade Wordpress at the same time, this would have been easier to debug...
Domain name change!
Woohoo! I successfully switched the domain name from cyrozap.blogdns.com (DynDNS) to cyrozap.com! I got a really good deal with 1and1.com ($8.99/year or something like that with the first year free—that's $.25 per month), and if you click on an individual post, you'll see that below the "Submit" button for comments, I switched the ad from Amazon to 1and1.com's affiliate program ad.
Well, now I can have subdomains, like store.cyrozap.com!
I also got the DynDNS name to redirect to the new domain name, so all the old links work.
Is there a noticeable speed difference?
I just installed the WP Super Cache plugin to prepare my site in the event that something I do actually becomes popular on Hack a Day, Digg, etc.
I was just wondering: do you see a speed difference? My server is a bit underpowered, so I was wondering if there was a noticeable speed difference when the page is loaded.
Let me know in the comments (I also want to see if commenting automatically updates the cache).
I just installed the PuSHPress plugin for Wordpress.org. It should increase the speed at which feed readers are notified of new posts from the blog. This post is pretty much testing the plugin.
Storage upgrade!
I just installed an 80 GB HDD into this server. It's mounted to wp-uploads on boot, so whenever I upload a file to the server, it goes directly onto the 80 GB HDD. I think it's 7200 RPM but I don't know for sure. It's also not from the 90s (like the 10 GB HDD that contains the rest of the filesystem). Accessing files on it seems faster than from the 10 GB HDD. This also means that I have 80 GB more storage space than before, so I don't have to upload everything to Picasa and then embed it. I'm really excited, considering that I got the HDD for free.
