Lil Wayne Laughs At Ex-Wife Toya's Rapping
Rasheeda's sorority-styled "BedRock Remix" featuring Kandi, Diamond, Lola Monroe and Antonia "Toya" Johnson caught many people off guard after its late April release. For one, it was an unlikely adaptation, but more so, the song debuted Lil Wayne's famed-ex-wife-turned-reality-star, Toya rhyming a decent 16. Expect more where that came from.
The Tiny & Toya star tells VIBE that she'll be releasing her own original song in the near future.
"I'ma try it and test it out. [A mixtape or album] depends on how this one goes by myself," says Toya. "I always had a little urge to rap, but never really wanted to because sometimes it doesn't come off lady like. Then of course Wayne is a rapper so I thought people would be like, 'Oh she's trying to rap because Wayne rap.' So I was like let me just play around with something."
Toya points out that her new music venture is just for fun, but was inspired by the reaction to the "BedRock Remix."
"It's crazy because now that I did a little bit of that song everybody's been coming to me like, 'Oh can we hear something else? Your accent is so cute. You sound so cute rapping.' I'm like wow."
As a platinum-selling rapper, Wayne found his ex's flow a bit more amusing than impressive. "[Wayne] laughed at me [on the "BedRock remix"]. That's what men do. They're never going to tell you you're good or to keep going with it. You know their slick side."
Toya also explains that her and Wayne rarely if ever, discuss music. They're relationship revolves strictly around shared 11-year-old daughter, Reginae. The newfound rapper cleared the air about reports stating that an mp3 player had been found within Rikers Island, intended for Wayne.
"All of that stuff about MP3s and cell phones… that's not true. I don't know where that stuff comes from," says Toya. "Yes, I did [confirm with him]. He doesn't know where any of this is coming from. Wayne doesn't entertain that. [But] he's doing great."
Regarding rumors that Tiny & Toya had not been picked up for a second season, Toya claims otherwise. "Tiny & Toya is not cancelled. They decided to continue the show in a different direction. Whatever comes out of it, that's what it is." When asked if the show would carry on with a different title, with more spotlight on herself, Toya replied "maybe," also revealing that Tiny's part would be smaller.
As for her personal life, Toya, who's been romantically linked to BET's The Deal host, MempHitz, says she's in love and that there could be a possible second marriage for her in the near future. —Tracy Garraud

TRENTON — The New Jersey Legislature's summer lull is here, but lawmakers aren't expected to get as much time away from the Statehouse as they are typically afforded.
The Senate is scheduled to meet Thursday for a voting session to consider several gubernatorial nominations. The upper house was also scheduled to vote on legislation to delay using new standardized tests as part of the state's teacher and principal evaluations, however, the sponsor of the bill said Wednesday he expects the vote to be tabled in order to give Gov. Chris Christie more time to craft an executive order to phase in use of the test.

A French Rustic Tart: Peach Galette
Swati Bansal Rao
Posted on February 18th, 2013
Going through my old photos, I was reminded of our wonderful trip to France in the summer of 2009. I was completely in awe with Paris. In this city of romance, there is everything from the historic Eiffel tower, the prized Louvre, fashion icons like Chanel and Louis Vuitton with every woman on the street dressed like a model and the famous café culture which I loved. Cafés are a focal point of French life. They have an illustrious history – those that lined the elegant boulevards of Montparnasse were a meeting place where ideas were hatched and mulled over and were once home to revolutionaries, artists, intellectuals, philosophers who would write and talk about over un café.
It was a fine morning with morning sun peeking through the blooming trees. Strolling through the cobblestone pedestrian pathways of Saint Germain, lined with great cafes, I came across this little place with gorgeous display of croissants, French pâtisseries and some savories. What caught my attention was a round tart kind of thing with beautiful fruit fillings, a galette! Less formal than the classic heavily glazed, precisely fluted French fruit tart, this charming dessert consists of a thin layer of fruit baked on top of a buttery, crisp crust simply folded over the fruit, very rustic! They made me salivate then and I got salivating today thinking about them.
What I love about this fruit galette is that it's beautiful in its simplicity. You'll be surprise how easy this recipe is to make. I like using stone fruits for my galette, but you can use almost any fruit you like. You could use strawberries, nectarines, apples and walnuts, pears, figs and honey and also a savory version of eggs and ham, asparagus and goats cheese etc. The list is endless. I had these beautiful peaches and blueberries on hand which I used to make this little beauty. Every bite transported me back to that little café, enjoying the sun at a pavement table, savoring each bite along with the perfect café au lait and watching the world pass by.
Dough Recipe adapted from Matkonation
Makes one 12 inch galette
For the dough
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon sugar
Pinch of salt
3 oz./85 grams butter, cold and cut into cubes
4 tablespoons cold water
For the filling
½ cup finely ground almonds
Pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
Pinch of freshly ground cinnamon
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
5-7 ripe peaches, quartered and then cut into 1 cm. slices
½ cup of fresh blueberries
Few springs of fresh thyme
1 tablespoon butter, melted
¼ cup apricot jam, honey or maple syrup (for glaze, optional)
1. Make the dough: Place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor, and process for a few seconds to combine. You could also use a pastry cutter or mix them with your hands. Add the butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With the machine running, add the ice water in a slow, steady stream, through the feed tube, just until there are butter pieces the size of large peas. Do not process for more than 30 seconds. Turn the dough out onto a work surface. Flatten, and form a disc. Wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours before using. Tip: 1. Use everything cold and make sure your hands are cold while flattening the dough. Wash them with cold water before. The idea is not to allow the butter to melt. 2. Don't overwork the dough.
2. Preheat oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Remove dough from fridge. Working on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 14-inch/35 cm. circle, about ⅛-inch/½-cm thick. Place dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Tip: To transfer the dough to the baking sheet, either roll the dough on a rolling pin and then unroll on the sheet or fold the dough into half to make a half moon and then again to make a triangle, unfold on the baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the ground almonds, nutmeg, cinnamon and ¼ cup of sugar. Sprinkle half of the mixture over the dough, leaving a 1½-inch/4-cm. border. Arrange the peaches in concentric circles, making only one snug layer. Add the blueberries and sprinkle some thyme leaves. Sprinkle the remaining almond sugar mixture over the fruit.
4. Fold the border of dough over the peaches, pinching the edges to make sure they are sealed. Brush the border with the melted butter and sprinkle it with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bake in the lower section of the oven for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is well browned and its edges are slightly caramelized. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving.
5. Serve the galette with warmed jam, honey or maple syrup.

Final Thoughts
I love Samsung's marketing image of the Cadillac turned into a Porsche GT when viewed through the 840 SSD. I love it so much I had to use it again in the 250GB review. What the advertisement is staying is true. My Lenovo T61p that I've had for at least five years is faster than any new notebook with spinner and the T61p is only SATA 1.5. The problem is I don't need a Samsung 840 to make an old computer feel new or fast. It's still really good marketing and a cool advertisement.
The Samsung 840 is a revolutionary SSD that pairs a cutting edge, low power controller with the latest NAND flash manufacturing process that holds more data per cell than anything else on the market today. Eventually TLC flash will displace MLC in mainstream consumer SSDs. TLC will also increase data capacity in solid state drives - bring on the 1TB models please! Still though, is the 840 the SSD we want today?
I guess it really depends on what you do with your computer. If you are a notebook user, the Samsung 840 offers excellent battery life and since you'll have all of the C-States on you're not going to notice the lower write speed because all ultra high performance SSDs like those in our charts will write at a reduced speed. So, notebook or ultrabook user working off the battery most of the time, you are good.
So what about everyone else? The Samsun 840 250GB offers very good sequential read performance, I would call it superior to everything else on the market sans the 840 Pro that we haven't tested yet. Then we have the write performance and I'd have to say it is the total opposite, one of the worst modern day write speeds of next-gen SSDs. You may wonder how a product that's so good can also be so bad. Well, you have a really good controller that can read from bottom of the barrel flash really quickly, but at the same time, without storing user data in the DRAM buffer, can't overcome TLC's low write performance.
The 500GB version had much better write speed because of parallelism, more die per package and apparently the controller can handle it. The 500GB model also had another advantage; most other 480/512GB drives are slower than the 240/256GB drives. That goes double for LSI SandForce drives because of their DRAM-less design. The same controller used in the SF 240GB drives is the same in the 480GB drives, but the controller has to handle twice the mapping data with the same size buffers (that are internal). So, the Samsung 840 250GB with slower performance has to take on the fastest SandForce controllers.
With the performance out of the way we have to focus on price. SSD pricing is a lot more complicated than it seems. I don't want to go into the full OCZ story, but let's take a very brief run at it. OCZ drove SSD prices down to unprofitable levels. They did this on mainstream drives and even enthusiast / prosumer/ power user products. Enjoy your low cost SSDs now because those days are coming to an end and it started with Vector just a couple of days ago. Still, some SSD manufacturers will keep prices low going into CES and at that point LAMD controllers should pop up from more than just Corsair and they will all cost at least $1 per GB. At the time of writing and going into the holiday season, finding drives for 40 and 50 cents per GB will be pretty common. LSI SandForce controllers will be in most of them and we all know they are pretty damn fast in the same capacity size we're comparing the Samsung 840 to today.
So, Samsung 840 250GB at the time of writing costs $189.99 to $209.99 depending on the accessory package. That's a fair price, but also as the same time the OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS with 5K P/E cycle 32nm Toshiba Toggle flash costs $139.99 after a $20 mail-in rebate. Both drives have nearly equal incompressible write speeds, but the advantage goes to Team SandForce since it has a lower price and the boost in compressible data performance. The OCZ drive comes with a desktop adapter bracket too, something desktop users will want.

Live Pictures from the 2010 LA Auto Show
Its that time of the year againas cold breezes rip through the north and east, the hottest new cars go west for some fun in the California. sun. The 2010 L.A. Auto show is full of energywild concepts and big production cars fill the halls this year; showing promise for a big year of American trade shows. But dont take our word for it: here are live pictures from the show.
By Automotive Editors
Mazda Shinari Concept
Mazda showed it's Shinari concept, a sleek sedan that would, in production form, make for an exceedingly cool-looking flagship. Some reports say that this car will might hint at the next Mazda6.
Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG
Mercedes-Benz had AMA Superbike champion Nicky Hayden on hand to launch the new CLS 63 AMG. And he brought along the new Ducati Diavela menacing machine.
BMW 6 Series Concept
BMW's 6 Series Concept debuted at this year's Paris Auto Show and makes it's first stateside appearance in LA. We would be surprised if the production version of the next 6-Series didn't look a lot like this car.
Cadillac Urban Luxury Concept
The Cadillac Urban Luxury Concept's Lamborghini-style doors would most likely not make production should this concept get the green light.
2011 Camaro Convertible
The 2011 Camaro Convertible is the perfect ragtop for cruising Californiawe hope the upcoming Camaro Z-28 will come in a convertible model too.
Acura's 2011 TSX
Acura's 2011 TSX lineup gets a new nose and some small aerodynamic and drivetrain enhancements to achieve a 1 mpg improvement over last years model.
2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG
he 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG, the company's newest hot rod, packs a serious 518 hp from a new 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8.
Dodge Challenger R/T
For the Challenger R/T, Dodge offers a $3330 option package that includes street-fighter pieces like a functional hood scoop, hood pins, and pimp-my-ride worthy 20-inch wheels.
2012 Ford Focus ST
2012 Ford Focus ST. This debuts in about a year and it should be one very steamy hot hatch. The turbocharged four cylinder engine will produce about 250 horsepower and route the power to the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. This car has already received rave reviews in Europe and it could be a viable alternative to the VW GTI.
2012 VW Eos
If you like the styling of the updated 2012 VW Eos, you'll have to wait until spring to slide behind the wheel.
Aston Martin Rapide
Probably the most beautiful four-door sedan ever made, the Aston Martin Rapide.
Yokohama GT3 Cup Racecar
Here's a Yokohama sponsored GT3 Cup racecarmakes us want to hit the track.
Porsche 356 Roadster
This Porsche 356 roadster is the first Porsche officially sold in the U.S.
Half a Ford
Only seen at Auto Shows: This is a new 2011 Ford that's been sliced down the middle by a huge imaginary band saw.
Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid Racecar
Porsche brought its 911 GT3 R Hybrid race car to LA
Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
Land Rover unveiled the new 5-door Range Rover Evoque. The Evoque is Rover's first SUV that comes standard with front-weel drive. Will this sharp-looking crossover effect Rover's off-road credibility?
Boss 302 Mustang
The Boss 302 is the hottest Mustang since, well, the 5.0 debuted earlier this year. We're eager to see how the Boss stacks up with the current king Mustang the GT500. The Boss's 444 horsepower is about 100 less than the supercharged GT500, but the car should be lighter. Our guess: The GT500 will outsprint the Boss, but on a racetrack, the ladder will be quicker.
Wire Land Rover Evoque
Not all the displays at LA are of actual cars. This wire Land Rover Evoque drew lots of attention.
Ken Block's Ford Fiesta Rally Car
Ken Block's Ford Fiesta Rally Car. Block's done some wicked things with a similar car.
2011 Ford Focus
The big news at the Ford stand wasn't really news. We first saw the Ford Focus about a year ago. The car goes on sale early next year and features an upscale interior. We'll drive one in the next two months.
Porsche 911 GT2 RS
The 911 GT2 RS is the highest performing 911 ever built. The twin-turbocharged flat six engines produces 620 horsepower, the most of any production Porsche.
Mazda's Mazda5 mini-minivan always struck us as a smart alternative to bigger vans. The 2012 Mazda5 grows somewhat but still retains a small footprint for urban use.
Toyota Swagger Wagon
Toyota brought its "Swagger Wagon" concept from this past SEMA show to LA. The van is loaded with infotainment gar and was the star of a viral You Tube video.
Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is particularly sharp from the back. This crossover is the most fuel efficient Land Rover ever.
Nissan Juke
Nissan's Juke uses the same platform as the Versa, which helped keeped the price low. A version with a CVT gearbox, navigation, and turbocharged engine can be had for about 23 grand, a surprising value.
Volvo C30 EV
Volvo plans to build only 250 of these electrified C30s and they won't be available for sale. The idea is to use the small fleet to gather EV usage data. With a 28 kwh battery pack, the C30 can go about 100 miles and to retain that range even in cold weather, there's an ethanol-fueled heater.
Boss Mustang's 5.0-liter V8
The new Boss Mustang's 5.0-liter V8 engine belts out 444 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. We'll finally drive the latest Mustang early next year.
Chevrolet Cruze Eco
Think you need a hybrid to hit 42 mpg? Not so. Chevy's Cruze Eco uses weight management, aero tweaks and powertrain modifications to return over 40 mpg highway.
Ken Block's Rally Fiesta
The Interior of Ken Block's rally Fiesta
2011 Mitsubishi i-Miev
Mitsubishi's all electric i-Miev has bee Americanizedit's over four inches wider and about a foot longer than the version already for sale in Japan. It should better suit, ahem, our large populace when it goes on sale in about a year.
Fisker Karma
This is the first factory-built series-hybrid Fisker Karma. This car is nearly ready for delivery and according to company officials, the first salable units will be built by next March. We poked around the inside and it appeared well executed, if a little tight. The price will be under $100k. Frankly, we're impressed that a start-up car company has gotten this far.
Fisker Karma's Engine
The Fisker Karma engine is a the same turbocharged four-cylinder engine that was used in the Pontiac Solstice GXP. The engine serves as a backup generator for this EV and only spins a generator.
2011 Mitsubishi i-Miev
Mitsubishi's all electric i-Miev has bee Americanizedit's over four inches wider and about a foot longer than the version already for sale in Japan. It should better suit, ahem, our large populace when it goes on sale in about a year.
2011 Nissan Murano Cross Cabriolet
The 2011 Nissan Murano Cross Cabriolet could be one of the strangest production cars at LA. But the more we looked at it, the more we could imagine this rig trolling country clubs in Palm Beach, Florida

Apparently, all cut from the same cloth as Joe Paterno. Their names are not published in this article. Why?
The problems are these: There are tons of names. They date back decades. In most cases, they are not accompanied by any definitive identifying information, enabling me to distinguish your Joe Smith from my Joe Smith. And the roster mixes the very loosest unverified suspicions with strongly supported and even definitively proven ones.
What's more, people are mobile. So I would probably be a bout as likely to find local matches in records from points afar as from local records. Many who lived here then are long gone, with others moving in from afar to take their places.
As a practical matter, I think this one is a non-starter. Our normal point of identification is when law enforcement brings formal charges, and I think that's a prudent place to draw the line.
Steve Bagwell
Managing Editor
But I am rather a bit more than curious to know the names of the police chiefs, procecutors and pastors that turned a blind eye to these monsterous acts.
Or...are you not?
The list containing the names of the 'local', .ie, of any police chiefs, prosecutors and/or pastors employed within the confines of Yamhill County could not possibly be so voluminous in size, is that what you are claiming, that it is?
Michael Tubbs Sr
Grand Ronde, Oregon
In fact, your action was a clear violation of the News-Register's own 'Terms of Use' policy, was it not?
The points I was trying to make were:
1) There may not be that many names of people who were in Yamhill County at the time, but when you are taking about maybe 30 years ago, that doesn't mean much. Those people might well be long gone. And some people on the list from somewhere else in the country might well live here now. We can't check tens of thousands of names just in case some pastor from Alabama is now pastoring here.
2) A name by itself isn't much to go on, a point I thought might best be illustrated by a takeoff on your own. I thought that might hit home for you. Does Mike Smith or John Jones do anything to identify anyone — or Mike Tubbs, for that matter.
3) The accusations in these files range from the highly substantiated to the wholly unsubstantiated, right down to the level of a suspicion raised in an anonymous note, hence my example. Should we run someone's name without having any idea what basis led it into the files? That would seem the height of irresponsibility to me.
My point is that even if I found, say, a John Collins, Brad Berry or Jack Crabtree in the files, how would I know the reference was to the people of like name living here? And how would I know if there was any real basis for their inclusion in the list?
I'm just saying this list, in and of itself, doesn't advance the ball very far, nor do I see effort on our part being able to rectify that much.
Steve Bagwell, Managing Editor
I agree.
"This organization teaches moral and ethical values to young scouts and shapes them into productive and responsible citizens"
To be sure, that is the ultimate goal of the organization. I don't believe that the organization in of itself should be held financially accountable for the actions (or inactions) of individuals that chose to make dishonorable decisions.
Any thoughts, Steve?
this is very sad, it sounds like there are potentially many victims and what make me really angry is knowing that people knew about it and did nothing, or worse, did something to try to hide it....how sick.
You are correct, the N-R did not write this article, that being said, is, irrelevant.
Not all Newspapers are fortunate to have journalist's in the position to 'break' a story, that being said, doesn't necessarily mean N-R staff isn't capable of doing some of it's own investigative journalism ..or.. does it?
I see nothing irrelevant about hoping for a new attorney general, as I have zero confidence in the one we have now.
My point about the AP writing the article is that the NR got dogged for not naming direct, local information. Since they didn't write the article, that would not have happened anyway.
What is important is the story, what has happened here is tragic
In this case, there was no local information. If you look through all the files released (http://www.kellyclarkattorney.com/files/) there are none tied to Yamhill County. The LA Times has an expanded investigation with cases up to 2005. The map (http://spreadsheets.latimes.com/boyscouts-cases/) shows two cases related to McMinnville. But I could not find anything related in their document database.

When reveling in giant steins of beer, salty meats, and ladies donning sexy lederhosen during Oktoberfest, your lack of German heritage is irrelevant.
But it doesn't hurt.
Here are the top three Miami Oktoberfests to check out this fall.
No need to wait till October to start celebrating fall's most awesome holiday, thanks to this brand new beer festival in Brickell. This outdoor fete features more than 75 beers, rock bands Sekond Nature and Bootleg, and serious beer competitions that lead up to a wild afterparty at Fadó Irish Pub.
Sat Sep 28. Mary Brickell Village, 901 S. Miami Ave., Brickell. $25 and up here.
Coral Gables Oktoberfest
While other ale fairs might only last for a weekend, this baby goes for 11 straight days. The guys over at Fritz & Franz Bierhaus pack the celebrations with wacky Austrian bands, live yodeling, Schuhplattler dancing, and some damn good bratwurst.
Oct 3-13. Bierhaus Plaza, 60 Merrick Way, Coral Gables. Free admission.
Oktoberfest Miami
Creating raucous Oktoberfests in South Florida for 58 years, these folks know how to throw a proper German shindig. German beer? Check. German bands? Check. Extra juicy tenderized schnitzel? Oh check yes.
Oct 18-20 & Oct 25-27. The German American Social Club, 11919 SW 56th St., South Miami. $10 and up here.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rocky!
Facts about Rocky
- Breed: Australian Shepherd Mix
- Color: Merle
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Rocky's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Rocky, a very smart, beautiful Red Merle Aussie, was dumped in the country. He is very sweet. He is a very non-aggressive dog. He knows sit and hand shake. He is young. He needs to be with older kids. He has not had a lot of touching and it scares him when the children hug him.
Rocky has been neutered. His shots are current and he is microchipped. He was heart worm negative.
Other Pets at SRL Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rocky, a MINNEAPOLIS Australian Shepherd dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd for sale in MINNEAPOLIS, or seeking a Australian Shepherd dog from a breeder in MINNEAPOLIS.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in MINNEAPOLIS already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a MINNEAPOLIS breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Shepherd breeders who help with Australian Shepherd rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in MINNEAPOLIS paves the way for another one to be saved.

Makes 15 large scones or 40 small ones
These cheddar and pepper scones from the web site are really part angel biscuit, part scone not the usual dry, crumbly, heavy scone, but rich and extraordinarily light. The black pepper is a powerful ingredient, by the way timid palates should use less.
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper, or to taste
- 3/4-1 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
- Milk for glazing
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in the butter and cheese. Stir in the pepper.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and set a rack on the upper-middle level. Grease a heavy baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Gently stir enough buttermilk or yogurt into the flour mixture to make a soft, sticky dough. Gather the dough into a ball with your hands. On a well-floured surface, roll or pat the dough into an 12-x-8-inch rectangle approximately 3/4 inch thick. Try not to handle the dough too much, and don't worry if it looks rough.
Using a large spatula or a couple of spatulas, transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Use a dough scraper or knife to cut the dough into 40 squares, each 1 1/2 inches. Separate the squares slightly on the baking sheet. Brush each square with a little milk. (Or cut circles out of the dough with the rim of a glass or a biscuit cutter and transfer them to the baking sheet.)
Bake the scones for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are brown on the bottom and very lightly brown on top. Don't overbake; break one open to test for doneness. Transfer to cooling racks to cool briefly and then serve as soon as possible.
To serve: The scones are still good when cool, but they are best when just out of the oven. Butter and scrambled eggs are appropriate accompaniments.

My six year old house doesn't have a pantry or coat closet and so I am thinking of moving the door to the 1/2 bath to a different wall, which would free up space for a combo reach in pantry and clothes closet. It would be in the back hall right of the garage. Space is tight though. What is the minimum depth it can be to hang coats? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by patches123 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 18, 06 at 17:57
OK after reading some other threads I am thinking that instead of hanging my coats like in a normal closet, what if I hung them so they are as if they are on a hanger on a hook, but on a pullout system, so I could layer multiples. Has anyone seen or done this? I have about an easy 14" in depth which would be perfect for the pantry type can and box storage. ANd shoes would fit. The only sticking point is the coats. Something like this but for coats instead of ties. |
Here is a link that might be useful: See this
- Posted by julie_mi_z5 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 21, 06 at 14:17
Patches, I don't think 14" is deep enough to hang coats the normal way, but the slide out idea might work. How wide would the closet be? If it's just the width of the old bathroom door, you won't be able to fit more than 2 slide-out things for coats to hang left to right instead of front to back. My guess is you'll only be able to hang 4 coats on each slider (our winter coats tend to be bulkier than spring jackets) so only 8 coats would fit in the closet. Will you still have room for pantry items? |
- Posted by patches123 (My Page) on Sun, Oct 22, 06 at 21:55
I have a total of 64" wide by 108" tall. Then the 14" wide easily be for the entire width or could do a 19" wide at 14" deep, then a 19X23 deep. then a 19X14. So if I did the 14" deep I could one 39" unit for coats then another 19" for pantry type items. |
- Posted by talley_sue_nyc (My Page) on Mon, Oct 23, 06 at 12:36
24" is the usual suggested depth for coat-hanger storage. You could get away with a little less, though, I bet. Measure a coat hanger; add 2 inches on each side. There was a wardrobe once in a Martha Stewart book (organizing book) that was converted into an office/desk. But still attached in the back were these hinged hook-thingies. Here' how it was; imagine an 8 or 10-iinch-long piece of wood, one end hinged to the back wall of the wardrobe, so they stick out toward the front, but can be swing over (they were hinged to swing toward the outside of the cabinets, so the ones on the left swing toward the left; ones on the right, toward the right). On one side of this piece of wood are wooden pegs, so they point toward the side of the cabinets. That's where you hang the coats. It looked like a neat way to get a lot of coats in not a lot of space. When you wanted to access a peg, you could swing the board off to one side. |

Mudd, an Emmy-award winning newsman who has worked with both CBS and NBC, brings a unique perspective to the Civil War commemoration: he is distantly related to Dr. Samuel Mudd, the doctor who treated John Wilkes Booth when he fled after his assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
According to Paul Kohlenberger of the Event's Planning Committee, a full program is slated from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. as "McLean Remembers the Civil War."
Experts with Unique Stories: Interesting highlights include a talk by Event Chairwoman Carole Herrick at 12:30 on "The Sleeping Sentinel," relating the story of a Vermont soldier stationed at Fort Marcy who received a death sentence for sleeping on duty. President Lincoln later commuted the sentence for the young guard.
This will be followed by a talk by Joe Stahl on the history of Fort Marcy, best known as the site where Vince Foster, White House Counsel from President Clinton's administration, was found dead, but which has a serious tie to the Civil War.
Rose Powhatan is what Kohlenberger terms the "penultimate speaker," an acclaimed artist, educator, and cultural specialist in Native American studies. She is descended from the Pamunkey Tribe on her mother's side and the Tauxenent Tribe on her father's. She will speak on the Native- and African-American experience in the region during the war years.
John Waggoner, financial investment columnist for USA TODAY, who studies history on the side, will speak on the Battle of Dranesville, which took place off Route 7.
Brad Gernand, a historian from the Falls Church area, will give a talk on Professor Thaddeus Lowe and his innovative aerial reconnaissance balloons, which the Confederate army used to scout more easily the incoming combatants.
Local historian and documentary filmmaker Chuck Mauro of Herndon will also speak, exploring the civilian experience in McLean and environs during the War.
Re-enactors Will Bring the Day to Life
There will be a variety of re-enactors portraying President and Mrs. Lincoln but with the caveat that Mary Lincoln was not in McLean during the war! The spy contingent will also be represented with Paula Johnson playing the part of Southern spy Belle Boyd and Donna Marie as Northern spy Mary Louise Bowser. General George McClellan (Roy Kennedy) and Col. John Singleton Mosby (Gary Carroll) will also be present.
The Fairfax Rifles re-enactor group will set up three tents outside between the Community Center and the Dolley Madison Library, forming a miniature military camp.
Outside in the courtyard, John Tole and Anne Howard of the musical group "Evergreen Shade" will provide period music for the attendees.
Inside the community center, the rooms are crammed with Civil War artifacts. The Steadman Room will have a Civil War Medical Unit provide by Patrick O'Neill on one side and a local gun collection on the other. In the Maffatt Room, Susan Kelly will portray "The Yankee Schoolmarm." And a magnetic telegraph system will be set up as well.
Special Displays Include Maps and Bios
A panoply of displays will abound. Kohlenberger said he has set up various biographical ones as well as maps of battle encampment/fortifications, voting, and slaveholding.
Some noteworthy McLean residents of the period will be shown in biographical displays, including Capt. Franklin Sherman (a Union soldier later active in promoting education), Capt. J.O. Berry (long time county surveyor), Capt. Mottrom Dulany Ball (organizer of the first Fairfax cavalry company, a lawyer and journalist in the post-war years), Capt. James W. Jackson (the first civilian casualty of the war), and numerous others.
In the foyer visitors will find books and videos for sale. A set of books will be raffled off and a number of Confederate bills have been reprinted as souvenirs. "They are as they were – worthless," laughed Kohlenberger.
McLean and Great Falls have pulled out all the stops on this one, making for an interesting and educational weekend for the younger set as well.
Free parking will be at the Community Center and at Dolley Madison Library.

Tauren cat form updated a little in patch 2.3
Beaux on the US forums showed everyone how, in patch 2.3, Blizzard has modified the tauren cat form's face to look more like a lion and less like a monkey, and changed the neck of the lion so that it doesn't look so hunchbacked as it moves. It's not as pretty as the tauren cat form suggestion submitted in Blizzard's art contest, but it'll do for now I would think.
[Update]: Our reader tmklein supplied us with some interesting links for what the EU player Andrige thought the various forms should look like -- all with a distinct visual style. Would you like this sort of change?
- Dire Bear Forms
- Worgen Forms (to replace cat form? I don't know about this one...)

Pakistani jihadist groups fundraise, recruit openly in Rawalpindi

During a two-day conference that began yesterday in Rawalpindi, Pakistani jihadist groups linked to al Qaeda and the Taliban openly engaged in fundraising and recruitment of fighters for operations in Afghanistan and the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Al Badar Mujahideen, a jihadist group linked to Gulbuddin Hekmatyr's Hizb-i-Islami faction, organized the conference in the military garrison city, according to The Express Tribune. "Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's Hizb-i-Islami Afghanistan (HIA) and Al Badar Mujahideen had set up stalls to sell propaganda CDs and 'jihadi' literature," the newspaper reported. The Pakistani government did not intervene to end the conference.
"Mid-level leaders" from Hizbul Mujhiadeen, HIA, Jamaat-ud-Dawa and other militant groups spoke at the conference," The Express Tribune noted.
Bakht Zamin Khan, the leader of the Al Badar Mujahideen, said his fighters are waging jihad in Afghanistan and Jammu and Kashmir, and pleaded for more money to carry out additional attacks.
"Our commanders in Kashmir and Afghanistan say they will carry out big attacks if they are provided with resources. They have the spirit but they are facing a shortage of supplies," he said.
Hizbul Mujahideen emir Syed Salahuddin also spoke at the fundraising and recruiting drive, and said Pakistan is the victim of a US and Israeli conspiracy. He stated that his fighters were waging jihad against the US.
"Pakistan is the target of the US-Israeli nexus. Our fighters are defending Pakistan at a time when its geographical boundaries, its security and Islamic identity are at risk," Salahuddin said. "We are fighting in Kashmir. It doesn't matter to us if we are labelled terrorists. We are proud to be called terrorists for fighting the US and its allies in Afghanistan."
Background on the Hizbul Mujahideen
Hizbul Mujahideen is a jihadist group with close ties to other Pakistani terror groups that focuses on fighting in Jammu and Kashmir. It receives support from Pakistan's military and the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI). In May 2011, Salahuddin admitted that the Pakistani military allows him to run "hundreds of training camps in the state where we recruit and train the mujahideen."
Salahuddin is also the chairman of the United Jihad Council, which is supported by the Pakistani military and the ISI, according to the South Asia Terrorism Portal. Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, two groups that are on the US and the United Nation's lists of terror organizations, are part of the United Jihad Council. Salahuddin has close ties to the Lashkar-e-Taiba and it charitable front, the Jamaat-ud-Dawa.
Background on the Al Badar Mujahideen
The Al Badar Mujahideen is a splinter faction of Hizbul Mujahideen that is supported by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. The group "is reported to have training camps in the Manshera area of [Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province] in Pakistan, Kotli and Muzaffarabad," according to the South East Asia Terrorism Portal. Kashmiri terrorist groups such as Al Badar Mujahideen have flocked to Pakistan's northwest after the Pakistani military put a brake on operations in Kashmir, and have actively participated in operations against Coalition forces in Afghanistan.
The Al Badar Mujahideen is affiliated with "Al Qaeda, Hizbul Mujahideen, Jaish-e-Mohammad, Jamaat-e-Islami, Lashkar-e-Taiba [and Jamaat-ud-Dawa], Muttahida (United) Jihad Council (MJC), [and the] Taliban," according to the Institute for the Study of Violent Groups. The Al Badar Mujahideen is a member of the United Jihad Council, an alliance of 16 terrorist groups that are fighting in Jammu and Kashmir.
The US is known to have hit a training camp run by the Al Badar Mujahideen in a drone strike in September 2008. The strike took place in the village of Tol Khel on the outskirts of Miramshah in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan; 12 of the group's fighters were killed and 14 more were wounded.
READER COMMENTS: "Pakistani jihadist groups fundraise, recruit openly in Rawalpindi"
Posted by Paul D at July 9, 2012 2:15 PM ET:
We are fighting Pakistan in Afghanistan
Posted by Tony Buzan at July 9, 2012 10:42 PM ET:
I was just curious what the US was doing to block overseas wire transfers as well as transfers over the large dollar interbank clearing system from Saudi Arabian private citizens to their servants described here, a small tiny fraction of their global network, in Rawalpindi.
Posted by Gerry301 at July 9, 2012 10:43 PM ET:
No. We are fighting Pakistan, abeit in a different arena, but Pakistan is the foe.
Posted by Harrison Bently at July 15, 2012 11:26 AM ET:
Perhaps they are lower on funds and resorting to fundraising from the Pakistani public because the closure of the NATO overland route through Pakistan - and the accompanied theft and retail of looted NATO supplies, bribes for transiting Taliban areas and other incomes around the huge logistical route is hurting the insurgents - keep it closed and lets stop putting dollars in their pockets
Posted by Mint at July 20, 2012 3:38 PM ET:
Most of the Taliban wants to come to table because they know this jihad thing is not working, they are getting killed left and right. Pakistan arrest and harass them if they don't want to fight. All their leaders live under Pakistan military protection. Easy for pakistan to control them.

I'm looking for a summer- or fall-blooming groundcover to underplant a mixed border of viburnum, daphne and taxus. Full sun, my base soil is sandy loam, pH about 7.5 with about 20% compost added to the top 6 inches. Typical Midwest summers, so I'm looking for something that doesn't have to stay constantly moist.
I'm thinking of:
Any comments or other suggestions? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't think either the campanula or the geranium do dry very well. Or maybe it's just down here, where they are usually part sun plants. I planted some of the plumbago last year (also part sun to shade down here), and it's not very thick. It's sending up new leaves pretty far from the original plant. |

A few weeks ago I was sitting in the lounge of the King George Hotel in beautiful George in South Africa's Western Cape province. Memories of South Africa's big moment of the year, the hosting of the soccer World Cup, were already fading. The country had returned to dealing—or rather not dealing, in many respects—with its ongoing challenges.
Looking out across the rugged Outeniqua Mountains, all appeared calm and peaceful, just as it did when I first took in this view back in 1994. But then, as now, the view belies the reality. South Africa is far from being "the rainbow nation at peace with itself," as touted by Nelson Mandela shortly after he gained the nation's presidency in 1995. This troubled society is jarringly at odds with the beauty of the handiwork of the Creator who carved out its breathtaking countryside.

Moving, a reason to do something, impetus. Our band has several reasons to do what we do, but none are stronger than the pull of the music itself, however, the adventure stands next to nothing. We ventured the coast of the Pacific Northwest, took some swings at 70 mile an hour fast balls, skated a half pipe, Visited our Two Sheds in Sacto, snapped into a Slim Jim, thought deeply about cubing the sun, hung out with Richard Swift(his new record melted our hearts),
made up several versions of songs we'll never use, met a boy named Seth, Drank milk, ate Purple donuts, drank Stumptown coffee, watched a river flow through a dining room, danced with hippies, slept for a few hours, pondered the life of Blake, committed sums of hours to Aldous Huxley, read surf magazines, watched America's craziest home videos, played with Day of Lions in Eugene, OR, Saw Mt. Shasta, Took a picture, sold some vinyl, met good people.
ahhhh....life on the road. More soon.

Can Anything Be Done to Stop Global Warming?
No matter what we do now, global warming will continue and will cause serious changes in our climate. However, prompt and dramatic action is likely to slow its rate of increase and to avoid some of the worst potential consequences. Experts say the most important action is to move away from burning massive amounts of fossil fuels, especially coal and oil, and to aggressively pursue nonpolluting energy options.
Every time we burn fossil fuels to drive our cars, heat our homes, run our factories, light our cities, and more, we release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Our greenhouse gas emissions have increased in recent decades because of both human population growth and the rising rates of affluence and consumption. Larger houses, bigger and faster cars and SUVs and more airplane travel all mean more energy consumption. In fact, the United States, with only about 5% of the global population, contributes about 25 percent of greenhouse gas emissions because our fuel consumption is so high.
Some scientists are also studying another strategy called carbon sequestration. Earth's plants, soils, and oceans absorb huge amounts of carbon dioxide. Some scientists believe that we can augment these so-called "ecosystem services". We can protect and improve natural resources such as tropical forests that absorb large amounts of carbon. We may even be able to inject excess carbon dioxide deep into the Earth.

State Reps. John Baine (D-El Dorado) and Matthew Shepherd (R-El Dorado) took their respective posts when the 89th General Assembly convened today with the first Republican majority since Reconstruction.
Baine, a freshman, was one of the 43 first-time representatives sworn in. Prior to his election to the state House, Baine was a longtime member of the Union County Quorum Court. His district 2 position has since been taken up by Justin Hendrix, a Democrat who served several terms on the El Dorado City Council.
Shepherd returned for his second term after a commanding lead during the November general election against his Independent opponent.

text: The 4320 enhanced four-in-one electrical safety tester performs the four most common electrical safety tests—AC hipot, DC hipot, insulation resistance, and ground bond— through one device under test (DUT) connection. In AC hipot mode, the tester can output up to 5 KV at 20 mA, and in DC hipot mode it will output up to 6 KV at 5 mA. Unlike other instruments, these are continuous duty cycle ratings so the tester does not have to be shut down during the day, even when used at full output. The insulation resistance test mode offers a test range of up to 1,000 megohms, while the ground bond test mode provides up to 30 A of test current. |
