Moving along?
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 01-17-2013 - 10:19pm
I think I am moving along and getting to being resigned that is over. I don't know why it hurts so much to accept that. It isn't as if I ever expected to end up with him nor did he ever offer to do so. I don't know what I wanted, but I do know right now things hurt. The hardest part is that I am not committed to ending it, yet, I know it is over. Once again I had to ask him to let me be. I want to get strong so I can look at this and move on.
I am extremely thankful that the pain has dulled and is no longer driving my day or my desire to end it. Every one of his emails causes me pain and I can't figure out why he continues to hurt me so.
I am afraid I will never love again and I will die alone, yet, I know that is much better than how I feel right now.
On the other hand, I've been running and I have felt better. I have several races coming up and I need to focus on them to get lost in an acitivity.
Thank you all for the support.
|Fri, 01-18-2013 - 7:30am
You are just fooling yourself. You aren't moving on. You are hanging on.
What are you doing still getting emails from him?
Not taking charge of your life isn't getting you down the road, and away from him. You are hanging onto him.
This is an intentional choice you are making.
You asked for support and help, and then ignore it? I don't get it???
He continues sending emails because you are an EGO stroke to him. He is an ego stroke to you.
Make up your mind what you want. You can't be connected partially. You have to make up your mind to break it off. End it, means end it. Every bit of contact hurts. Why choose to hurt yourself.
It's all on you.
Many here have done it.
Stand up for yourself.
You can do this, if you want to.

Hugs to you. This is a very difficult time for you, I can tell. The others are right, no communication really does help. I had a set back yesterday because I didn't block him from my life. I had been feeling good and things were going back to normal and then BAM there was a message, nothing special, just a message. I was so much happier without contact. You will feel begin to feel better with every passing day. You may have a bad day every now and then, but as you start to distance yourself, things will begin to get better. As hard as it is, no contact does work.
As for not finding anyone, I don't believe that for a second. There are a lot of wonderful people who are looking for someone to share their lives with too. They are available to give you 100% of themselves and are willing. Maybe after you get your life in order you can try an online dating site. First, you need to be emotionally healthy because from what I have heard, you have to sift through some frogs to get to your prince. My husband's cousin is engaged to a guy she met online as are 2 girls in her office. She is 52 and has never been married.
Keep running. That is great that you have a hobby. Do you belong to a running club? Maybe you could join one to get around other people. Stay busy. Have you looked into taking an evening class? I am a bit limited because I still have a kindergartener and a high schooler at home.
Here's to a great day for you! You can do better than an affair, but you will never know until you get out of it.

C.B. Follett & Joseph Zaccardi - An Evening of Marin Poet Laureates
Joseph Zaccardi, the incoming Poet Laureate of Marin County, and C.B. Follett, the outgoing Laureate will present an evening of poems. Both have new poetry books coming out: Nine Gradations of Light (Zaccardi), and Of Gravity and Tides (Follett). Follett will speak on her programs, specifically ROAR and Poetry Exchange Boxes, and Zaccardi will talk about plans for his Laureate project.
Born in Newark, New Jersey, poetry came late to Joseph Zaccardi at the age of thirteen. His publications include Vents, Render, and The Nine Gradations of Light. In 2003, he received an Individual Artist Grant from the Marin Arts Council, and from 2010 to 2012 was editor of the Marin Poetry Center Anthology. He was appointed Poet Laureate of Marin County, CA in 2013 for a two-year term. Since 1987, he has lived in Fairfax, tossing seeds from an imaginary apple tree.
C.B. Follett is, by roots, a Connecticut Yankee. But she has been in California for so long, her roots are confused. Of Gravity and Trees is her eighth book of poems, as well as several chapbooks. She is Publisher and Editor of Arctos Press, which among many titles, published Beside the Sleeping Maiden: Poets of Marin; and GRRRRR: A Collection of Poems About Bears.
Both have received Poetry Grants from the Marin Arts Council and are members of the Marin Poetry Center.

NPS Pharma: Gattex FDA Panel Preview
A two-year rat carcinogenicity study of Gattex was performed with clean results. A similar study in mice is still being conducted but NPS Pharma has an agreement with FDA to finish the study after Gattex is approved.
European regulators reviewed all these safety data and found no link between Gattex and cancer.
SBS patients rely on intravenous feeding -- known as parenteral nutrition -- for the liquid nutrients they need to survive. The average SBS patient enrolled in the NPS Pharma studies required approximately 12 liters of parenteral nutrition per week. Gattex works by increasing the nutrient absorption rate of the intestines, thereby reducing the amount of parenteral nutrition that SBS patients require.
In the phase III study, 63% of SBS patients responded to treatment with Gattex after six months compared to 30% of similar patients treated with a placebo. This outcome -- the study's primary endpoint -- was highly statistically significant. Response was defined as a 20% or greater reduction in weekly parenteral nutrition volume.The phase III study was not conducted under a Special Protocol Agreement with FDA although NPS Pharma has said FDA officials were consulted on the trial design and agreed with the primary endpoint used. In other analyses of the trial data, Gattex-treated patients reduced their average weekly parenteral nutrition requirements by 4.4 liters, or a 35% reduction. By comparison, placebo patients reduced their parenteral nutrition by 2.3 liters, or 17%. The difference between the two groups was also statistically significant. Also, 54% of Gattex patients were able to reduce the number of infusion days per week by one or more days, more than double the 23% reduction for placebo-treated patients. Mean body weight of Gattex-treated patients remained unchanged. Whether or not reductions in parenteral nutrition represent a meaningful clinical benefit for SBS patients is likely to come up as a topic of discussion and debate at next week's FDA advisory panel. European regulators debated the same question and concluded that Gattex provided a meaningful clinical benefit for SBS patients. Weaning off parenteral nutrition entirely is the best outcome for SBS patients. To date, 8% of Gattex-treated patients have achieved this goal.

The current driving force in the military and defense environment is to keep legacy systems operating longer, or the replacement of legacy systems with new systems that emulate one or more legacy systems with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technology. However, there is insufficient budget to fund development of these COTS systems, and the burden of development falls upon private industry. The current sequestration environment adds another burden on industry to perform to the needs of the military, but without the benefit of nonrecurring engineering (NRE) costs being reimbursed. Programs although already funded (but not the NRE, as it is not initially funded) are being put on hold, cancelled, or are in a state of non-deterministic outcome.
Military and defense program managers and private industry face an uphill battle to find the intersection of needs, available resources and the expenditure of development costs. Small companies are at a distinct disadvantage when they develop technology to support the replacement of legacy systems when they are forced to use their own development resources without compensation and are not awarded a contract for production.
Whether a fixed-price, cost-plus, or IDIQ contract, the above scenario is increasingly commonplace in the face of budget constraints and sequestration. The burden on small companies doesn't stop there; military program managers are also demanding engineering support without compensation for engineering-sustaining efforts, again without the presence of a production contract.
Although many systems are characterized as COTS, there are demands on the developer to perform military environment qualification testing, again without funding and no guarantee of a production contract.
Sabtech Industries, Yorba Linda, California, has appointed Rahim Sabadia chief executive officer and chairman of the board, and Michael Carter president.

Pistachio Pound Cake
November 6, 2012 § 1 Comment
As if overnight, it's winter. In the mornings, the lawn outside my entryway is frozen, and crackles with every step. Rumor has it there's a Nor'easter on the way. Wool socks, my down jacket and the knit hat Granny sent just last week have suddenly become mainstays in my wardrobe. Every morning, I tumble out of bed, across the mess of clothes on the floor, and hop around on the tiled bathroom floor, waiting the ten minutes for the water to warm up to an acceptably hot temperature. Running is no longer a determination to stay in shape, but a battle to emerge from the comforter every morning. I slept for eleven hours last night, and was surprised when my lab partners wanted to talk about our lab report at midnight, don't they know that's the middle of the night?
That said, there's two things I enjoy about the early days of winter and that's the clothes and the food. I want to crawl onto thick cashmere sweaters with blowsy sleeves. I want butternut squash galettes with buttery crust for dinner and warm open-faced apple tarts for dessert. I want the first snowfall, and then all the miserable days of dirty slush afterwards to disappear into a cloud of gingerbread cookies by the fireplace. Even with Thanksgiving just around the corner, I'm already dreaming in reds and greens, fir trees and ski hills. The pistachios in this poundcake are perfectly festive for my current mindset. Granted the two sticks of butter in it are also perfectly excessive and demonstrative of winter baking, but hey we're only concerned about the aesthetics of winter here — the picture perfect image of poundcake for breakfast looking out at the pure white flurries of snow falling outside.
Apricot-Cherry Upside-down Cake
July 3, 2011 § Leave a comment
The other day I was sitting on our rooftop balcony, overlooking the grassy area between the houses on our block, wearing Ray-Bans, book in hand, wanting for a friend to arrive. This cake was sitting on a heavy wood cutting board on the table and places were set for two people. The plates may have been a bit chipped, but this cake came out of the pan perfectly intact; so perfectly in fact, that I still like looking at the pictures of it in awe at how pretty it was.
Upside-down cakes make me really nervous. Actually, cakes made me nervous in general. I always, always manage to skip a step in the recipe and never wait long enough for them to cool and end up with a cake that needs significant patching up. Add to that the stress of having to flip something upside down, and I'm left with that brief but sickening moment wondering if I'm going to end up with a picture perfect slab of cake or a gooey, broken lump of cake and cooked fruit. But that queasiness was gone in a flash when this cake overturned beautifully.
We ate some for lunch that day, some for breakfast the next day, some with a glass of Slivovitz the next night. Basically everyone I know if this city ate some of this cake, which is a very good thing because there was quite a bit of it. The other point of triumph is that I finally found some produce that was more than just edible here. In the states, I would never pick up a basket of cherries at a corner store, from a table right next to the liquor shelves. But I will say that the apricots I purchased here were the first fresh apricots I have ever enjoyed eating in my entire life.
How's that for eating in the Czech Republic?
Apricot-Cherry Upside Down Cake
Adapted from David Lebovitz
Makes one 13 x 10 inch slab cake
For the fruit layer:
6 tablespoons butter (90g)
1 1/2 cups packed (270g) brown sugar
About 20 apricots, quartered
2 cups of cherries, halved and pitted
For the cake layer:
8 tablespoons (115g) unsalted butter
3/4 cup (150g) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups (210g) flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (125ml) plain yogurt
In a saucepan, melt the 6 tablespoons of butter. Add the brown sugar and stir constantly until the sugar is melted and begins to bubble. Remove from heat and pour into the baking dish. When the caramel mixture is cooled, top with rows of cut fruit. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350F (190C).
Cream the 8 tablespoons of butter and sugar until fluffly. Add the vanilla, then the eggs, and beat until smooth.
Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold in half of the flour mixture, then the yogurt, then the remaining dry ingredients. Mix until the flour is just incorporated.
Spread the batter over the fruit layer and bake for about 40 minutes. The center of the cake will be set and the fruit may bubble around the edges when it is done. Remove the cake from the oven, let cool for about 20 minutes and flip the cake out onto the plate.
The family secret
November 19, 2010 § Leave a comment
I didn't realize how much I had settled into a routine in this strange foreign country until I left it for an even stranger foreign country and returned, very early one Sunday morning to a light rain, misty skies and wet streets. Quite soon after I returned, I was forced to bundle myself up and run a couple blocks to the closest convenience store because my shelves were empty and it being Sunday, every grocery store in the area was closed. As I walked out of the door, in a sleep-deprived educed haze, I stumbled into stands and stands of furniture vendors, French women selling vintage hats and men trying on classic suit jackets in the middle of the street. I thought for a moment I had turned down the wrong street, and wondered if I had forgotten my neighborhood that easily, until I spotted the couples dancing at the fountain at the base of rue Mouffetard, clustered together tighter than normal under a white awning, and I knew I was home.
Since my return, I have been trying to force myself outdoors but find it increasingly harder to leave the warmth of my bed and my apartment's heater, which may or may not work consistently. Walks home from work are enjoyed only with the first gingerbread cookies of the season, but even then with the longing for the gingerbread men I used to make in my kitchen in San Francisco — the French boulangeries it seems, are not champions of the baked goods not requiring pounds of quality butter. But the spice, even if the cookie is a bit too hard, is much appreciated, as is the simple sugar glaze that never ceases to make me quite content.
And then I've been baking some things as necessity arises. For instance, I made my mother's famous chocolate torte for a class party, which resulted from no one knowing what they were supposed to bring to accompany wine tasting and thus bringing whatever they could think of. My mother makes this quite a few times a year, for family birthdays, for dinner parties with close friends. This is the cake I would invariably wake up to sitting on the kitchen counter a couple times every year whenever the family had somewhere important to be or someone important to celebrate. It has never been perfectly smooth on top (and I confess my ganache-making that morning left much to be desired), but it never ceases to impress. As a child, I found it much too strong and chased it properly with an exorbitant amount of whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. But now I can enjoy it as is, with its simple chocolate ganache on top. I am convinced that French alcohol is much stronger than its American counterparts as this cake tasted decidedly of rum this time I made it. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, as my (French) professor declared it the best chocolate dessert she had ever tasted.
Chocolate Torte
6 tablespoons or 75 grams butter
6 oz. or 150 grams semi-sweet or dark chocolate
4 eggs, separated
1/2 cup or 120 ml sugar
1/4 cup or 60 ml flour
6 T or 90 ml ground almonds
1/4 cup or 60 ml rum
Preheat the oven to 190/375 degrees (C/F). Butter and flour (I use cocoa powder for the "flouring") a 8-inch pan. Melt the chocolate over the stovetop. Cream together butter and sugar. Add the melted chocolate and run. Beat in egg yolks. Fold in flour.
Beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
Fold the egg whites into the batter, minimizing stirring. Some egg whites can remain unmixed.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Ils disent qu'ils sont perdus
September 17, 2010 § 1 Comment
My little apartment gets pretty cold in the morning. There is a little gap under the door and when I creep (or clamber) down the ladder in the morning and my feet hit the stone floor, I shiver a little. But I like waking up early, seeing the morning sun light up the little courtyard outside my window, through the lacey curtains, making myself a cup of tea and checking my email before heading out the door.
Lately, I have been getting some questions about my true happiness, whether life really is like I tell it in the blogs, whether I am really doing okay. What is life like, living alone, people ask. Well I am finding that I really do enjoy living all alone. I like coming home late at night to an empty room and puttering around in the morning without ever having to make conversation. For many people, Paris is a place where you come to find yourself. I don't know how many people are actually successful in that endeavor, but that is their original reason for coming anyway. They end up staying a month, half a year, sometimes decades. People in my classes, ils disent qu'ils sont perdus. Some don't like talking about the future for fear that their dreams won't come true, some all they want to talk about is the future. Some say that they are currently sans-abri — indeed there are many, many homeless people in Paris, mostly old men curled up on stairways and in Metro stations. Most aren't dangerous, indeed many will wish you a very pleasant day. One man sleeps on a stairway near my building, the same place every night, and he offers a smile every time I walk by.
But he wasn't there this morning when I set out around 7 a.m. to walk to a metal bridge on the Seine, on which lovers have affixed locks engraved with their names. I chose not to run there, as I usually would, knowing there were some errands I needed to run later, and running errands (or being seen anywhere in public really) in workout clothes is franchement inadmissible in Paris. It was chilly this morning, the beginning of fall, and I had forgotten that Paris merchants get a slow start in the morning and most stores don't open until 10 or later. I gave in and ordered the 4 euro café to sit instead of the 2 euro café you take at the bar, drifted through the pews at Notre Dame, which I have been meaning to do since my first days in Paris, and generally took my sweet time in order to arrive exactly as the doors opened at 10 a.m. As I walked, I munched on one of these little cakes.
I made two of these late last night, when I had been getting ready to go out and then decided against it. The pears are delicious fresh from the market, poached, served warm or chilled, or in these little chocolate cakes. I remain always surprised when my creations come out of the toaster oven looking just right.
Chocolate Pear Cake
Adapted from Confessions of a Tart
2 oz unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 oz dark chocolate, melted
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, or Dutch process cocoa powder
3/4 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
2 pears, poached
Poach the pears: peel, cut in half and core the pears. Combine 1-2 cups of water and 1/4 cup of sugar in a sauce pan on medium-high heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the pears (add more water if needed to cover the pears), bring to a low boil and cook for 15-20 min or until tender. Drain and set aside.
Make the cake: Preheat oven to 350⁰F. Butter 2 cake pans (4-inch diameter)
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time. Melt the chocolate in the microwave, being sure to check on it often. Add the melted chocolate to the sugar-butter-egg mixture and mixture thoroughly. In a separate bowl, combine the flour cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and mix until just barely combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans. Arrange the sliced pears in a circle on each cake. Bake for about 20 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Old-fashioned blueberry cake
August 31, 2010 § Leave a comment
When I made the decision to start eating healthy again, I never imagined what would be the first cake recipe to fall in my lap. It is almost as if fate meant for me to make a diet change right at that very instant, meant for me to sort through our bins of whole grain flours, meant for me to skip right over the white sugar—and even the brown sugar, and land on a jar of unsulfured molasses. It meant for me to be browsing 101 Cookbooks at that very minute and open I recipe I had never thought to open before, despite the many times I have scoured the site for wholesome baked goods and sorted though dinner recipes, even knowing that I would never cook them because, let's face it, I don't cook. But at that very moment, I opened up this recipe for Old-Fashioned Blueberry Cake and I knew the palate had changed.
If you do not love molasses, I suggest you stop here. This cake is not for you. It is entirely sweetened with molasses, which lends it a deep, dark color, so dark in fact you would swear it's chocolate on looking at it. But that first bite, through the crunch of the walnut topping, reveals that that darkness is not chocolate at all. And you are not disappointed at the discovery. Because just when you thought someone so healthy could not be so deeply satisfying, you take another bite of cake and the flavors that were so unexpected in the first bite become wonderfully addicting in the second. It's rustic, it's hearty, it's not for the faint-hearted (in the flavor sense of the idea, not in the butter content) and it's, dare I say it, pretty quaint. And it's one of those cakes that you have to cut off three tablespoons of butter from the stick, instead of just throwing the entire stick (or two) in the bowl. Have you ever noticed that most recipes call for either ½ cup or 1 cup of butter, conveniently the size of a stick of butter or two? I wonder who came up with that. Was it the recipe writers or the butter packagers?
But back on subject, you should make this cake. With more blueberries than I used, because blueberries have a habit of disappearing (read: I have a habit of eating them by the handful) when I am baking with them. And with the chopped walnuts on top, though I think many other nuts would do, sprinkled with (okay, I admit it) maybe a teaspoon of brown sugar. And bake it in one of your prettiest pans, because this cake deserves it.
This cake accompanied me to my old high school's English office, alongside my travel journal, which I have been jamming full of sights, restaurants and many, many bakeries, to visit during the coming year. I have a Paris section (of course) and a Provence section (of course). And then there is Venice and Wales and Barcelona. And so many others that I am afraid I am trying to go everywhere, but I just can't pick up a travel magazine and not want to go everywhere it writes about. I wonder if the French like molasses. I packed a jar of peanut butter and another of maple syrup, but now I am on the plane wondering if I needed to bring molasses too. I hope not.
Old-Fashioned Blueberry Cake
Adapted from 101 Cookbooks
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
5 tablespoons milk (divided)
1/2 cup unsulphered molasses
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, barely melted
1 1/2 cups blueberries, frozen (I freeze fresh berries)
1 teaspoon flour
For the topping:
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
Preheat your oven to 350F degrees. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or a small rectangular pan.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a small bowl combine the cider vinegar with 3 tablespoons of the milk. In another bowl combine the molasses with the remaining 2 tablespoons of milk. Add the cider vinegar mixture into the molasses mixture, then whisk in the eggs.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just barely combined. Stir in the butter. Fold the blueberries, tossed with the small amount of flour, into the batter. Top the batter with the chopped walnuts and sprinkle with the brown sugar.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about thirty minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.
Olive oil cake
August 24, 2010 § 1 Comment
I have been having a very difficult time with this post. Like much of my writing — essays, newspaper articles etc. — my blog entries usually just flow out. I don't often mess around with how to phrase sentences. If a metaphor doesn't form itself, I don't push it. If a word doesn't come naturally, I use another and figure I will return to it when the time is right. So when I do hit a block that has me staring at the screen and reforming a single sentence over and over again, changing single words and punctuation marks here and there, I know something is off about my subject matter.
I came home the other day and I decided it was about time I buckled down, started eating healthy again and got back into better shape. I tend to function better under rigid guidelines and tight schedules, and my diet works no different. I'll get into funks where I eat only oatmeal and insist on just ordering coffee when I meet up with friends. And it may sound strange, but oftentimes I'm just happier that way.
Once I've decided to eat healthy again, it's fairly easy to turn down that piece of sheet cake with the fake, fluffy, brilliantly white frosting and a greasy slice of pizza late at night. I've finally made that decision again and I'm sticking with it, and I relish that feeling of control. I relish knowing exactly what goes into every little bite I eat — I like adding the spoonful of sugar myself, measuring out exactly a half cup of milk and simmering a pot of whole grains, knowing that the only other ingredient is water. I like that getting back in shape means falling into a routine of running every day. Sometimes that tight schedule may mean arriving somewhere else a bit late or starting the morning errands two hours later, but it doesn't mean I'm missing out on anything. It just means that I'm living my life, exactly how I want to live it. So that when I make this cake, with a full cup of extra virgin olive oil, I can cherish a bite or two and then give the rest away.
I understand that this can be a strange approach to food, especially for someone with a food blog. When I started reevaluating what I was eating, I spent some time thinking about this blog and what I was going to do with it. Should I pull a total 180 and start posting recipes from my parents' 1970s vegetarian cookbooks? Should I instead focus on baked goods with lower butter and sugar content? Or should I start posting food I've never even tasted? The thought of abandoning this blog altogether scares me, I have come to rely on it so much that it would feel as though the ground had been yanked out from underneath me. It has been a source of satisfaction and accomplishment when other parts of my life feel like they are falling apart and it has restored my love of writing, which I had once thought was all I wanted in a career. It has given me a lot more faith in myself than two years of college ever did.
Moreover, I never realized starting this blog how quickly one forms a connection with one's readers. I never realized how many times I would hear "I saw that on your blog," or that people would ask about my new haircut or my scrapped knee without me ever mentioning it, or that friends of friends would actually read the words I'm writing and make the very same cakes I am pulling out of the oven. I would never want to abandon that feeling of companionship right as I am about to embark to another continent. I would never want to abandon this right before I start learning how to bake with just a stove top and a toaster oven.
But I realize some part of this blog needs to change as I start living on my own. In order for me to continue, and not feel guilty pulling a cake out of the oven for the hundredth time, I need to start feeling closer to the food I am producing.
I realized this as I toyed with the idea of making S'Mores cookies, chock full of graham crackers, marshmallows and Hershey chocolate bars. We bought all the ingredients at the local Safeway, all the while I ignored the quiet voice in the back of my mind, which was saying you could make these all on your own. What I really should have been doing was buying graham flour. That voice in the back of my head finally stopped prodding my thoughts when my hands landed on the matte cover of Good to the Grain, by Kim Boyce. I opened the book — one of the few cookbooks I own that does not sit on the shelf, abandoned — and flipped to the section on spelt flour, where the binding easily fell open on its own to this olive oil cake.
The fruitiness of good olive oil — I used De Cecco Extra Virgin — is paired with deep, dark chocolate and fresh rosemary in this cake, which is at once homey and ground-breaking. The flavor is wholly unexpected and yet, one even begins to think of the olive oil as the sweet note in this cake. I only had a couple bites of a slice and the rest of the cake went to mother's Italian class. But when a cake is truly worth eating, a couple bites is all you need to feel indulged.
Olive Oil Cake
From Good to the Grain, by Kim Boyce
Dry Mix:
3/4 cup spelt flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
Wet mix:
3 eggs
1 cup olive oil
3/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 tablespoons rosemary, finely chopped
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped into roughly 1/2 inch pieces
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl, pouring back into the bowl any bits you sift out. Set this bowl aside.
In another large bowl, whisk the eggs until light. Add the olive oil, milk and rosemary and whisk again. Using a spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chocolate. Pour the batter into a fluted tart pan or cake pan (about 8-9 1/2 inches in diameter) and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Everybody needs a vacation; some more than others.
Due to a fire alongside Highway 99 that slowed traffic to a crawl, it took Ripon Christian High's football team and its large contingent of fans an unusually long time to make the trek from Ripon to Delhi High School Friday night.
It looked to be another rugged week for the Pitman High football team after back-to-back losses to tough competition, but the team triumphed on Friday night as they took it to Atwater at home en route to a 35-14 win.
Hilmar's Jonathan O'Brien and Tyler Robinson shredded Ripon's much-ballyhooed defense, turning this battle of Trans-Valley titans into a laugher by the half.
The success of Hilmar High's spread offense has been tied to two of the Valley's top quarterbacks.
The Central California Conference has been a powerhouse on the soccer field all year, and on Saturday both Pitman and Turlock high were able to showcase their talent under the collegiate lights in a neutral site at Warrior Stadium on the campus of California State University, Stanislaus.
For the 10th consecutive season, the Turlock High girls golf team is the Central California Conference champion, after beating out Merced High by six strokes, 474 to 480, in the league tourney on Tuesday. Pitman High was able to top out in third place with a score of 509.
All it took was one score for the Delhi High soccer team to defeat Southern Athletic League foe, Mariposa, on Monday in what was a tough defensive battle between both squads.
Pitman High they hosted three-time defending Central California Conference champions Buhach Colony on Friday, in what turned out to be a disappointing league opener for the Pride.
The Pitman High volleyball team has now won six straight matches, in straight sets, after defeating their Central California Conference opponents, Buhach Colony on Thursday (25-16, 25-19, and 25-14).
Central California Conference runners converged on Donnelly Park Wednesday afternoon for the second CCC center meet of the season. After circling the park and covering three miles worth of ground, the boy Bulldogs emerged as the story of the day as they took second place in team standings with 59 collective points - a 64 point improvement from their last race where they finished fourth overall.
Turlock High's Jose Aguilera netted the first two goals and Mason Harp added the finisher in the second half of Wednesday's match en route to a 3-2 win over the Cougars from Golden Valley.
The Pitman High tennis squad faced off against Central California Conference opponents Merced High on Thursday at home in what was a critical league match. Unfortunately for the Pride, it was the Bears that emerged victorious in the 5-4 match.
For the second time this season, the Pitman High soccer team defeated Central California Conference opponent Golden Valley; this time at home, in shutout fashion.
The Turlock High Bulldogs prevailed by nine strokes, 231-240, over the Pride on Tuesday at the Turlock Golf and Country Club, in the teams' second Central California Conference matchup of the season.
Action at the Denair High basketball tournament resumed on Friday when two local teams in Turlock Christian and Delhi met on the court in the consolation bracket with both teams seeking a win after falling in the first round.
Denair High will be playing for third place in its Denair Holiday Classic today after dropping Friday's game against Millennium High, 52-62. The Coyotes (4-8) hit the court strong against the Falcons (6-0) in the first half, but a third quarter slump that saw Millennium nearly double Denair's offensive output dashed the Coyotes' hopes at a championship run in their home tournament.
The girls of Turlock Christian High (6-4) hosted the much improved Denair Coyotes (4-4) on Friday night in a critical showdown between the two local schools.
In a complete turnaround from last year's disappointing start, the Denair High boys basketball team cruised its way out of the opening round of their home tournament with a convincing 52-29 win over Tioga High on Thursday night.
The Turlock Christian Eagles did not start off the Denair High basketball tournament how they had hoped, but instead fell into the consolation bracket after dropping the first game to Hughson in the opening round on Thursday night, 50-73.
Delhi High's boys basketball team pulled double duty on Thursday. First they put their brains to the test for finals, then they kicked off the Denair Holiday Classic with a game against Linden High.
Denair High nearly upset Ripon High on the wrestling mat Wednesday night, out-pinning the Indians four to six, but 18 points from a trio of forfeits was too much for the Coyotes to overcome. With holes at the 106-pound, 160-pound and Heavyweight weight classes, Denair dropped its first dual meet of the season, 30-41.
The Pride of Pitman came into their second game of the 38th annual Frank Godinez tournament against Laguna Creek - which had to forfeit their first round game due to Thursday's storm -with hopes of turning things around after a crushing first round loss to Beyer High.
Another solid effort from Turlock High on the court has landed the Bulldogs in the finals of the Frank Godinez Boys Basketball Tournament for the third year in a row.

- Common wildflowers are a pink-flowered and a white-flowered bistort, Arctic shooting-star, three kinds of buttercups, Parrya nudicaulis, and Langsdorf's lousewort.
- However, if this is done before July, many beautiful wild flowers, such as melancholy thistle, wood cranesbill and bistort, which are special to limestone uplands of the north, are mown down before they can seed.
- It was mid-day and I thought the stroll would be better in the evening, the softer light heightening the delicate pink of the bistorts and though there might be more people the traffic noise would be less.
early 16th century: from French bistorte or medieval Latin bistorta, from bis 'twice' + torta (feminine past participle of torquere 'to twist').

A Handful of Confetti
David Green
TME Publishing
4.5 stars
By Martin Chandler
14 Jul 2013
David Green was a cricket lover from an early age. He played the game at Manchester Grammar School, and then at Oxford University, and for the three years he spent his Mays and Junes amidst the dreaming spires he played as an amateur for Lancashire in the second half of those summers.
He seems to have enjoyed himself at University, so much so that the degree he left Oxford with did not equip him very well for a future career, so in 1964, after a year away from the First Class game, he returned to Lancashire as a professional cricketer.
In many ways this is the least autobiographical autobiography I have ever read, and I will quote now, in its entirety, how the hard-hitting opening batsman and occasional medium pace bowler deals with that part of his life:-
In 1964 I scored 1,500 runs and then got 2,000 in 1965. I thought it would go on from there but in 1966 I only managed 1200, and played like an idiot in the second half of the season. Moreover, I then called the Chairman a prat, which he was, and found I couldn't get in the team at all. At the end of the 1967 season I left Lancashire to join Gloucestershire.
Was it a hedonistic lifestyle that caused the schism with Lancashire? Green doesn't say so in terms, but he certainly seems to have preferred the more relaxed and forgiving regime at his second county, where he spent three more full seasons before, aged just 30, he left the First Class game.
The next step in Green's career was to work for a company run by Ken Graveney, brother of Tom and a former captain of Gloucestershire. He did that for a while, but on page 147 of this book he admits what his reader had long come to suspect, that he wasn't keen on "proper work", and in 1982 he was delighted to accept a much more congenial appointment as a cricket and Rugby Union correspondent for the
Daily Telegraph
So what is this "autobiography"? In large part it seems to me to be an attempt by Green to downplay his own talents and tell stories against himself. Of course he wasn't a great player, and even more clearly not a consistent one, but there were two English summers in which he scored more than 2,000 First Class runs. In those days a lot more First Class cricket was played, so that was not the spectacular achievement that it would be today, but both were notable achievements; the first because, uniquely, Green got there without a century (the highest of his 14 half-centuries was 85) and the second because it secured his place amongst Wisden's Five Cricketers of the Year in 1969.
A Handful of Confetti
there are snippets of Green's life and his opinions, but most of the time he tells his story through his encounters with others. The book is liberally sprinkled with essays about teammates and opponents, and Green's experiences with them are the major sources he uses, an approach I have not seen before. The headline acts are Fred Trueman, Brian Statham, Mike Procter and Arthur Milton, but there is a long and distinguished supporting cast.
Did I enjoy
A Handful of Confetti
? Too bloody right I did, and it is without a doubt the best cricket book I have read in a long, long time. It is full of humour, without being comical, and when Green is serious, and often when he is not so serious as well, he provides fascinating insights into the way the game was played in his era, one of great upheaval and change for the English game.
As is to be expected from an experienced writer - which is what Green is even though he likes to create the impression that he was never more than a jobbing "cub" reporter - the book is beautifully written, and is definitely in 5 star territory. It is let down slightly by just one thing. I think what Green has probably done is, to a certain extent, gathered together pieces that he has written in the past, and it jars just a little to read something only for it to be repeated or otherwise duplicated just a few pages further on. Thus I think
A Handful of Confetti
could have been edited rather more thoroughly, although given its author's distaste for hard work, perhaps that shortcoming simply underlines his message - but if it does I'm still docking him half a star for that, and the lack of any sort of statistical appendix even though, again, I can see force in the argument that in this particular book the presence of one would be detrimental to the impression the author wishes to create.
But those issues are not very important, and at the end of the day are of no real significance -
A Handful of Confetti
is a superb book, and one that I unhesitatingly recommend.

China Auto Sales Jump 46% 0 comments
China Auto Sales Jump 46% - By Zacks Investment Research
Februarcy 22, 2013 Zacks reported that according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), vehicle sales in China jumped 46.4% to 2.03 million units in Jan 2013, mainly due to the low base in the same month last year. The increase in sales was much higher than last year. In 2012, sales grew 4.3% to 19.3 million vehicles.
Medium-sized cars and sports utility vehicles (SUVs) were the most popular class of vehicles during the month, constituting 57.7% and 15.5% of the market, respectively in the month. Small cars accounted for 20% of the market while luxury lineups occupied a tad 3%.
Sales and Market Share by Automakers
Volkswagen AG (OTCQX:VLKAY) continued to be the leading automaker in the world's largest market with 21.8% market share. Sales of its Audi brand surged 38.5% to 37,678 units. The second leading automaker was General Motors Company (NYSE:GM), which occupied 12.2% of the market. It saw a 26.0% rise in sales to 310,765 units during the month.
GM operates three joint ventures in China. The first one is a 49%-51% car manufacturing venture with Chinese automaker SAIC Motor Corp in Shanghai. The second is a mini-vans and pick-up trucks three-way joint venture with SAIC and Liuzhou Wuling Automobile in southern China. The third one is a light commercial vehicles joint venture with FAW Group.
Nissan Motor Co. (OTCPK:NSANY) was the third leading automaker in the country with more than 5% market share. Nissan's sales escalated 22.2% to 115,700 vehicles in Jan. Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) saw the strongest sales increase among the foreign automakers in China. Its sales leapt 98.0% to 61,475 vehicles during the month.
Ford manufactures Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo and other sedans in China in a three-way joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co. Ltd and Japan's Mazda Motor Corp. The company also has a 30% ownership in Jiangling Motors Corp Ltd that produces Transit vans.
The domestic automakers in China accounted for 32% of the market. Some of the leading companies among them are Geely, BYD, Great Wall and Chery. Meanwhile, European brands constituted 25.8% of the market, Japanese brands 16.7%, American brands 14.3% and Korean brands 11.0%.
2013 Outlook
According to CAAM, auto sales in China are expected to rise 7% to more than 20 million vehicles in 2013, led by strong demand for passenger vehicles and economic recovery. The association believes SUVs will remain the fastest- growing segment in the year while commercial vehicles will record a moderate gain in sales.
However, the Chinese government is concerned about rising air pollution in the country due to the ever increasing vehicles on the road. As a result, China's State Council announced a stricter standard for auto fuel recently, which will be promoted nationwide by 2017. These steps may damage the health of the auto industry in China.

The most difficult question was being asked about a teaminitative where I wasn't successful. The event was during a class I had taken in 2011. For the life of me, I could not remember the class. I was so embarrassed. The recruiter said that it was fine, but I felt like an idiot.

Make Password Policies Work for You(Attacker)!
This isn't anything new so some of you may already know the majority of what I'm going to be talking about, but for those who don't hopefully you find this information useful.
I've noticed a lot of people, when attacking authentication, whether it's with Medusa, Hydra, JtR, or whichever tool, tend to throw the biggest dictionary they can find at it and wait til something pops up. Now, it's not that this method doesn't work, but it takes forever and sometimes you just don't have the time or cycles to spare. Other than using rainbow tables to speed up the process, what I'm trying to get at is that you can cut down your dictionary size and create a custom wordlist for your specific target and with this I think you'll find much quicker success.
Ways of going about doing this are pretty straightforward. If you happen to know the password policy for your target organization, say, maybe they require numbers or capital letters or even some special characters, you can really narrow down your wordlist. Even further, if you know(and sometimes can easily guess) where specifically the number or capital letter resides in the password, you can easily use something like masks in Hashcat, which I'll get to in a bit, to really beef up the effectiveness of your wordlist and overall attack. Just one example to find information regarding such a policy could be through using rpcclient(provided in Backtrack):
root@bt:~# rpcclient -U ""
Enter 's password:
rpcclient $> enumdomusers
user:[bob] rid:[0xbba]
rpcclient $> getusrdompwinfo 0xbba
min_password_length: 0
&info.password_properties: 0x88a05584 (2292209028)
Nothing too crazy here, but more information can't hurt. Another tool that I've found plenty useful is CeWL, a custom word list generator created by Robin Wood(@digininja). Just point it at your target website, throw it whichever options you desire, such as spidering further through links and it will crawl the page(s) and feed you a potentially very useful dictionary. From its README:
Based on a discussion on PaulDotCom about creating custom word lists by spidering a targets website and collecting unique words I decided to write CeWL, the Custom Word List generator. CeWL is a ruby app which spiders a given url to a specified depth, optionally following external links, and returns a list of words which can then be used for password crackers such as John the Ripper.
This tool is great, although, it will grab some extra bits that don't necessarily belong in your wordlist, so it can require some editing before you fire it off against your target.
When it comes to cracking hashes you've obtained through a vulnerable webapp, for instance, Hashcat is a fantastic tool. It allows you to create masks and custom rule sets so you can really fine-tune your attack. Also, oclHashcat takes advantage of your GPUs so, if you really want to get flying, that'd be the way to go however, the rule sets for oclHashcat are somewhat limited compared to what Hashcat is capable of. Hashcat's arsenal is way beyond the scope of this article, but you should really check out Martin Bos(@purehate_) talk "Why Your Password Policy Sucks". It's more of an overall password talk, but he does touch a bit on Hashcat. One last tip, using oclHashcat will obviously tie up your GPUs as it's supposed to, but now you could even throw JtR up to take advantage of your lonely CPU.

My wife had a minor medical procedure done today in Shreveport and we had to be at the hospital at 5:30 this morning. At around 7:30 they came and took her away for her procedure and I moved into the surgical waiting room for the duration.
I decided I needed to sample some of the waiting room coffee from a small breakfast bar they had set up at the middle of the room. So I'm right in the middle of filling my cup when I hear a large group of guys come up behind me. As I finish filling my cup, I say "Morning guys" as I slowly turn around from the coffee pot and realize I was addressing six Louisiana State Troopers.
We made some small talk as they got coffee and I find out they had a member of their troop having surgery this morning and they all came by to wish him well before he went in. After a minute or two, I suddenly remembered that I was carrying and thought to my self, "I hope none of these guys freak out if they notice".
Even though I'm licensed and the hospital is not posted, some officers have been known to treat you like a bank robber, when they notice you carrying, until they ID you as a good guy. I was even thinking how bad the coffee was going to burn if I got taken to the floor.
Since the last thing I needed was to be spread eagle in the middle of the waiting room while the wife was in surgery, I decided to retreat to my little corner of the waiting room and limit my contact with my new coffee buddies. Luckily, either my supertuck holster is paying for it's self or these guys figured with my military hair cut and charm, I was a good guy.
Of course the wife is doing fine and will be coming home in the morning.........
