International Date Line
International Date Line
Imaginary line from the North Pole to the South Pole that arbitrarily separates each calendar day from the next. It corresponds along most of its length to the 180th meridian of longitude but deviates to the east through the Bering Strait to avoid dividing Siberia and then deviates to the west to include the Aleutian Islands with Alaska. South of the Equator, another eastward deviation allows certain island groups to have the same day as New Zealand. The date line is a consequence of the worldwide use of timekeeping systems arranged so that local noon corresponds approximately to the time at which the Sun crosses the local meridian of longitude.

E3 2013: Mario Galaxy 3 – Features I want to see
Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 are some of the best games ever made on any console. The blend of pinpoint jumping controls, fantastic level design, and challenging missions, made the Galaxy series of Mario games my favorite. Here is what I want for the next Mario Galaxy game on the Wii U.
Fantastic Art Design & Graphics
Mario Galaxy 2 looked amazing on the standard definition Wii hardware. Having a fully capable high definition system to work with, Nintendo can go all out with the graphics and art design with Mario Galaxy 3. I would love to see how hard Nintendo pushes the Wii U with Mario Galaxy, because they made the most out of the Wii's hardware with Mario Galaxy 1 & 2.
Full Gamepad Integration Without Being Gimmicky
Nintendo needs to use the Gamepad in innovative ways, however, it can't tread on the gimmicky side. In Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, the Wiimote sometimes handled the mini-games sloppily. They were more than playable, but it would have been nice to have better controls. My hope is Nintendo will use the touch screen to enhance the gameplay of the mini games, while providing new experiences you can only do on the Wii U Gamepad.
If Nintendo decided to use both screens to blast Mario back and forth between Galaxy's….. that would be awesome! Imagine hopping in a blast star. Shooting from your Tv screen to the Wii U tablet screen to secret worlds. The inclusion of puzzles and challenges take place on the Wii U Gamepad only would be a welcomed addition as well. That way, touch controls can be implemented into solving the challenges and puzzles, without having to look back and forth between the Wii U Gamepad and TV.
What do you guys think? Put your comments below!

I agree with koopzilla that we won't be getting Galaxy 3. Nintendo really only releases sequels now in such a manner if they didn't get all of their ideas in the first game. No doubt the game will be phenomenal…I even loved Sunshine though it was a bit weird and VERY different.
I'm thinking it will be called Super Mario Universe. It would be pretty different, but could still be pretty awesome. Possibly an open-world Mushroom Kingdom and there would be alternate "Universes" a la Quantum Conundrum. 8-Bit, Dark/X-Ray/Sound, Yarn, Paint, maybe Paper, (big maybe) First Person, etc.
You would gain access to the different Universes as the game progresses like the abilities in Paper Mario, hats in 64, or FLUDD Nozzles in Sunshine. The gamepad would display the alternate view for puzzles and certain platforming elements while the main screen would remain in the regular style. There is the possibility of swapping the views on the fly, but I'm not sure about that. They could do something along the lines of the other Mario titles with disconnected worlds with different themes, but I'm not entirely sure how the gamepad would be implemented there.
Of course, this is just my own rambling on what I would like to see. They could do something completely different, but the game will be gorgeous and loads of fun….possibly topping Galaxy. If anyone can do it, it's Nintendo.
I can't wait to see what will easily be the biggest Mario game we've ever had!
I can't wait for the next 3D Mario Game. Super Mario is my all time favorite franchise and they are always excellent. I can still remember the first time I ever played Super Mario Bros. (or a Nintendo for that matter) at my Aunts house, I was completely blown away, my Atari couldn't even compare, it's been my favorite franchise ever since. It will be interesting to see what they use the Gamepad for. I don't think we will get an actual Mario Galaxy 3 though, as they like to change things up. I kind of want something more like Super Mario 64 this time around, with more exploration involved. No matter what we get, It's sure to be an incredible game.

Fashionably Foolproof Gift-Giving
Years ago for Christmas I received, from my boss at the time, what I still think is one of the best gifts both to give and to get. Normally I don't suggest buying clothing for someone unless you know her or him as well, or better, than you know yourself. It can be difficult to tell what someone will love and feel comfortable wearing, even if they are your very best friend. But when I opened this gift, I realized that this was a rare and perfect exception. It was just personal enough, and conveyed a sense of luxury and taste, without running the risk of being something not to my liking or that I would never wear. And even if it had been, I could have exchanged it for something else without hurting her feelings or causing offense, because chances were she'd never see me wearing her gift anyway.
Ever since, I've followed her lead, and if I run into a tricky person on my shopping list, I buy her or him a pair of pajamas. I actually buy them for people on my list who I know quite well, too. They're relatively inexpensive and come in so many different prints and styles, from plaid flannel to floral print, you can tailor them to make a gift that is personal to the receiver.
Here are some great ones I've come across while doing my holiday shopping this year:

Are you worried that you are not tall enough and this will be a cause of set back for your success in life. Have you been wondering how to grow taller? Is there anything that can make me grow taller? Then here is a small effort to help you find answers to your worry.
Your genes along with your health and lifestyle are primary determinants of how tall you will become. Your genetic make up is determined by our parentage, i.e. your vital genes are passed onto you by your mother and father and for that matter also your forefathers. It remains true that you can't choose your genes, but you can choose to be healthy and lead a healthy lifestyle.
So before you ask someone, how to grow taller make sure you are doing the right stuff to grow tall enough. Are you giving your muscles enough workouts? You need to indulge in some stretching exercises that will help your muscles stretch. So go hit the gym, do pull ups, visit the swimming pool or pick up your bicycle and hit the roads everyday.
Next step is to see if you are eating right to grow taller. Growing taller means your bones need to grow and growth of bones would require high amount calcium and other vitamins. For this you will need to eat healthy food comprising of large quantities of fruits and vegetables.
If you are doing the above and have still not attained any success in growing taller, then look for external help. You can ask your doctor, "How to Grow Taller" and he can suggest some medical treatment to increase height. Alternatively you can look other therapies like acupressure, ayurvedic medication, etc. If nothing can help you grow taller then look at options that can help you look taller, i.e. wear stilettos if you can carry them well. There are also insoles available that help you look up to 2 inches taller.

Federal Judge: DC's Ban On Handguns In Public Is Unconstitutional
Monday, July 28, 2014
(Washington, DC) -- A federal judge's ruling says it's okay to carry handguns in public in Washington, DC. Judge Frederick Scullin said in a 19-page ruling the District's ban on carrying handguns outside the home was unconstitutional. The court has ordered the city to allow DC residents and non-residents to carry handguns in public. The case had been dragging on in court for five years.

[893] Pre-Operative Predictors of Adverse Prostatectomy Outcome. Correlation of 389 12-Core Needle Biopsy Results with Subsequent Prostatectomy Data
ON Kryvenko, M Diaz-Insua, M Ramineni, M Menon, NS Gupta. Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI
Background: The aim of our study is to determine if pre-operative PSA (PSA) and pathologic variables on 12 core transrectal needle biopsy of prostate (NBX) are useful in predicting adverse outcomes on subsequent radical prostatectomy (RP).
Design: 389 NBX with their corresponding RP specimens collected between 2004 and 2008 at our institution were analyzed. RP outcomes such as extraprostatic extension (EPE), seminal vesicle invasion (SVI), positive surgical margin (PSM) and positive lymph nodes (PLN) were studied with respect to PSA and the following features on NBX: location of positive cores (apex, mid, base), number of positive cores (NPC), percentage of each core involved (%PC), perineural invasion (PNI), highest Gleason score on biopsy (HGS) and distribution of positive cores (DPC). Continuous variables were categorized by quartiles or by the median when their association with a categorical variable was thought. Statistical methods used were Chi-square statistics for contingency tables, Mantel-Haenszel Chi-square, Fisher Exact test and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: (1) The majority of the variable in which a gradient could be coded show a statistically significant trend (p<0.0001) in predicting EPE and SVI. (2) For PSM, this trend was significant for NPC, %PC, and PNI. (3) In the case of contiguity of involvement, the smallest likelihood for adverse outcome is for isolated positive cores, while the largest is for contiguous core regions. (4) Preoperative PSA >10 ng/dl significantly increases SVI and PLN (p<0.0001). (5) Absence of positive cores in the base or the mid region determines a negative lymph node status, positive cores in the apex do not increase the likelihood of PLN (not statistically significant). (6) RP tumor volume is directly proportional to the NPC, maximal core percentage, and average core percentage. (7) There is no particular region where location of positive cores increases the likelihood of EPE or PSM. The contiguity of positive cores has no bearing in whether EPE appears isolated in a given region or in more than one region.
Conclusions: The NPC, HGS, contiguity of the positive cores, highest percentage of tumor in a core, and PNI are strong predicting factor for EPE, SVI, PSM and PLN. Preoperative PSA >10 ng/dl independently and significantly increases pT3 stage. The likelihood of EPE and PSM in a particular location cannot be predicted on analyzed preoperative data.

Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet.
I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat.
Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.
As you can see, I have 81 cookbooks! But I just saw someone that had 135, so now I don't feel so bad. LOL
My problem is that I like to go thru all of the recipes, if they sound good then I add them. Of course, I am supposed to go back and try them all, then edit out the duplicate recipes I have. Do I have time to do this? Of course not! LOL Does anyone else have this addiction of saving the recipes until you have a ridiculous amount for...let's say...chicken fried steak? I need to learn to choose 3 or 4 and then go from there. LOL

Lion Forge Comics made their debut at this years Wonder Con if I'm not mistaken and have hit the con circuit since, including C2E2. Well they've struck a deal to bring some of NBC/Universal/We're Owned By Comcast's 80's and 90's TV hits to the world of comics. That list includes, in the order I'm most excited for: Saved by the Bell, Airwolf, Miami Vice, Knight Rider and Punky Brewster. Sorry everyone, I never watched Punky as a kid… it's one of many TV regrets that I have. Here's the full press release with all the details as well.
Press Release:
"Partnering with the team at Lion Forge to bring classic TV properties to life in graphic novel format was a natural step for us as we continue to identify new ways to entertain our fans in the digital space," said Chris Lucero, director of Global Consumer Products Licensing for NBC Universal Television. "We're excited to give fans a chance to revisit some of their favorite shows and characters in a completely new way."
Well-known writers currently signed on to work on the projects include: Joelle Sellner (Teen Titans, Jackie Chan Adventures, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi); Jonathan London (Geekscape); Geoffrey Thorne (Leverage, Ben 10) and David Gorden (Catalyst Prime: Accel and
Catalyst Prime: Quincredible).
Currently, Jason Johnson (Wetworks, Godstorm) and Lion Forge's own Carl Reed and Lorenzo Lizana are on board as artists.
"From hugely popular characters such as Crockett and Tubbs, Zack Morris and Punky Brewster to highly stylized music and clothing choices, these TV franchises have had a significant impact on pop culture," said David Steward, CEO, Lion Forge. "We here at Lion Forge are looking forward to extending that influence by creating visually appealing and entertaining experiences on mobile devices for a whole new generation of fans."
The comics are planned for distribution in Q3 and Q4 2013, and will be available through the Amazon Kindle Bookstore, Apple iBooks, Barnes & Noble's The Nook Book Store and Kobo.

Good times meet grim ones in 'Cabaret'
BY CATEY SULLIVAN For Sun-Times Media January 10, 2014 11:42AM
David Bell directs "Cabaret" at Marriott Lincolnshire.
Jan. 15-March 16
Marriott Lincolnshire, 10 Marriott Drive
(847) 634-0200; www.marriotttheatre.com
Article Extras
Willkommen to the cabaret, a world where you are urged to embrace all that's forbidden. "It's an exciting, dangerous, utterly seductive place," says director David H. Bell of the titular locale in Marriott Lincolnshire's production of "Cabaret," opening Jan. 15.
Set in Berlin in 1929, the piece centers on Clifford Bradshaw (Patrick Sarb), a bisexual American writer who travels to Germany and finds himself wholly seduced by the frenzied pleasures of the city's hedonistic cabaret scene. Inside the cabaret, "everything is beautiful," according to the mesmerizing catchphrase of the club's Emcee (Winnetka native Stephen Schellhardt). Outside the Kit Kat Klub? Evil encroaches as the Nazis rise to power.
Based on the autobiographical writings of Christopher Isherwood, "Cabaret" is a gripping story of a blindly ecstatic community gleefully fulfilling its every whim while ignoring the looming specters of world war, genocide and death camps. "For those who sit by and just observe while people die, while wars are declared, while governments roll over rights, while evil comes to power — this show is for them," says Bell.
That's not to say that "Cabaret" is a grim exercise in moralizing. The show is rich with wicked wit and garishly beautiful show-stoppers, including the irresistible title tune, the soaring ballad "Maybe This Time," and the deliciously naughty "Don't Tell Mama."
For choreographer Matt Raftery, capturing the show's deeply erotic aesthetic without turning it into a prurient exercise means dancing a tightrope between carnality and crassness.
"Certainly there's a strong sexual voice in the club — this is where people go to be titillated," says Raftery. "But there's also sort of this winking properness — it's all about the intrigue and the mystery of sex, not the vulgarity of it."
As the Emcee, Schellhardt is responsible for luring the audience into that world. The 2002 New Trier grad is also charged with breaking the fourth wall on occasion and making the audience complicit as the characters on stage blithely ignore the wolves pounding at the door. One song in particular — "A Girl Like Her (The Gorilla Song)" — captures the wanton ecstasy of the cabaret while confronting the audience with the reality of a country where genocide will soon be a matter of public policy.
"You're totally enjoying the shtick, laughing your head off," says Schellhardt of the number, "and then, out of nowhere, comes this lyric that's absolutely toxic. It's a moment when the play turns pitch black — the outside comes inside, the doors lock, and you're forced to face what's about to happen."
Still, "Cabaret" is ultimately a profoundly hopeful show. Cliff, initially seduced by the relentless good times of the Berlin nightlife and the comely chorus girl Sally Bowles (Megan Sikora), eventually has his eyes opened. "And he survives to tell the story," Bells says.

Does being next to a cemetery greatly affect the value of a home? We're looking for a home and have found a great old house. It's huge and has got much of what we're looking for. BUT it's right next to a cemetery. Granted, it's a historic cemetery (dates back to 1700's) and probably never even gets visitors. We're concerned about potential adverse affect on resale value. Anyone with advice or data? |

I assume the cemetery has direct public access from the street or road. If it doesn't, you need to make sure the logical or deeded access isn't across the property you are looking at. If it is, it will greatly reduce the value of the property. That isn't an uncommon issue in this area. There are a lot of pioneer cemeteries, and you can't block access to them if someone wants to cross your property to visit one, which is why I mentioned it. Other than that, and the small but significant number of people that would be creeped out just by the thought of living next to a cemetery, I don't see a problem. In fact, it would be an advantage. At least you would know that your neighbors on at least one side would be dead quiet. You may groan, now. ;-) |
- Posted by cordovamom (My Page) on Mon, Sep 14, 09 at 10:19
creek side makes some excellent points...in addition, your neighborhood is to die for and many are doing just that to get into your neighborhood. One of my daughter - in - laws is a forensic scientist, she is used to visiting crime scenes and viewing dead bodies. When she and my son bought their home across from a cemetery, she didn't give it a second thought. But I'm sure others would be creeped out. It just depends on the buyer, if it doesn't creep you out and everything else about the house appeals to you, then go for it. |
We live several blocks from a large cemetery and many people in our neighborhood (including DH and me) use the lanes of the cemetery to walk and bike. It's so serene and lovely, and there's no worrying about traffic. It feels a bit like a park, and it's quite nice to see people out and about there -- proof that "life goes on", even where the dead are buried. I think having a cemetery nearby can be a tremendous asset. |
Gosh, I may be in the minority, but I have gone so far as to search for houses that may be listed on "cemetery road" when looking because yes, you would be assured of quiet neighbors and I would have a nice, peaceful place to take walks or walk my dogs. Plus, they would hopefully not build a shopping center or office tower over it. I strongly considered a house that was overpriced and too small just because it had a cemetery across the street. |
I am also one who believes a cemetary makes a desirable neighbor. And a historic one is all the better! |
Another vote for "desirable". |
I think it's great. There was another thread on this in the Old House forum that you might find interesting... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cemetary
Personally, a lovely old cemetary wouldn't bother me a bit, though a large, new, busy one might. However - there are LOTS of people it would bother, and for whatever reason, they're not speaking up here. (I remember an old post on the subjest that was overwhelmingly negative...) |
For some it would be considered an incureable defect. (Not for me if it is quiet and historic.) What's been the selling history of homes in the area? Price? Days on Market? |
My house backs up to a pioneer cemetery. There is a green belt between us so I can't actually see it. The neighbors on the other side of the street are envious of our quiet and private backyards. I know of one couple who looked at my house before us. When they heard about the cemetery they ran to their car and sped away. The houses on either side of us sold recently to couples with small children and both families were glad for the quiet woods behind their homes. The cemetery is old and I don't think anyone has been buried there since I have lived here. |
When we were looking for a house we also liked one that was on the opposite side of a big cemetary. We did not like that fact and when we were debating of the resale value our realtor commented that a lot of people (I think she mentioned e.g. Asians) would never buy a house anywhere close to a cemetary. We did not take the house for other reasons also but I do think a location next to a cemetary does have a negative effect on resale value. By the way, make sure there is no crematory. |
It's a historic cemetery, not an active one. It was established in 1655. I think the last burial there was late 1700's. It's on a gentle sloping hill that overlooks an active downtown area. A walk down the hill thru the cemetery leads to a quaint New England town with active shops, restaurants, and a great little coffee shop that has live jazz. Neighbouring it to the east is a town common, beyond that a police & fire station. (we're more concerned about fire truck noise than the whole zombie invasion thing.) It's in a visible enough locale that I doubt any mischief ever occurs there. The house is an 1863 Victorian, I shudder to imagine how much 'love and attention' (ka-ching) it needs. It does have a 2000 sq ft barn and a full acre of land. As much as I'd hate to buy the Money Pit, I'd love to be able to walk down the hill thru the cemetery, resplendent in my jammies and bedhead, to grab a cappuccino.... |
I think it's a personal choice. It would creep me out to be next to or bordering a cemetery. If it was two or three doors down, I would be fine. I don't want to be looking at it through any of my windows. |
I am curious as to why others who find it "creepy" feel as they do. If anyone would care to share why, I'd be interested in what you have to say. Is it the fact that you'd have a continual reminder of the eventual fate that we all share? Do you believe that there are spirits or "forces" present in a cemetery? Something else? |
Another desirable vote. |
I remember the last 'would you buy next to a cemetery thread' and yes, there were a lot of negative responses. I consider property abutting a cemetery desirable, especially an older cemetery. First of all, unlike a new home built on developed farmland, you never have to worry that the cornfield next to your property would be rezoned and end up an apartment complex. Most cemeteries would be continually maintained, unlike a vacant field or lot. There would be little traffic into or out of it. And most of the older ones have lovely eco-friendly tree plantings. I live in a nearly 200 year old house. I imagine a few of the prior inhabitants are lain to rest somewhere on our property, unmarked. I know for a fact many have died in my home and that all have been lain out in state in my living room. When the time comes, I would chose that option as well. Yes, I believe in spirits and no it doesn't bother me in the least. No matter where your house is located, or near what you shall have a contingent of people who think it's a positive and one who shall think it's a negative. If everybody liked the same thing, all our homes would look alike and it would be boring as all get out. |

Wouldn't bother me either... after all, these days it isn't the deceased people you have to worry about, it's the live ones! |
I would never live near a cemetery! It would 'creep me out.' If I had to look at head-stones and buried people all the time, it would disturb me. I don't really believe in spirits...but who knows? Not something I would choose to deal with. Jane |
But ... you wouldn't be looking at "buried people", right? Not unless you're going out there with a shovel and digging. ;-D |
Ha! Sorry, couldn't deal with it. Jane |

Better to get used to it. One day you'll be living in one for a long time. |

Actually Jeff you won't be "living" in one at all. That's the whole point of a cemetery -- they're for the non living. |
- Posted by fallingwaters (My Page) on Wed, Sep 23, 09 at 20:25
a historic cemetary would be great. an active,current-use one--no way in heck for me. no worries about creepiness here either. |
I think it would creep me out too. Why? I think first it's that it reminds me of something unpleasant (to me at least), death. Second it reminds me of saddness..more often than not people who visit a cemetary are not jovial. If it were my dream house at a dream price, I might go for it. But just the fact that you are asking the question leads me to believe you fear some would find it undesirable. I try to limit things that might deter the sale as much as possible..power lines nearby, busy streets, etc. It's hard enough to find a qualified buyer :) Best of luck. |
In my area, cemetaries INCREASE the value of homes because they are quiet (obviously), there's NO chance of further use or development, they are more heavily patrolled by the police, and any 'visitors' are generally of a higher level. I'd LOVE to live next door to one. |

"and any 'visitors' are generally of a higher level." And the residents are generally at a lower level. Sorry, couldn't resist. |

I don't think I can put my finger on it except that it is creepy. I don't like the thought of looking at tombstones. While Cemeteries may be a good neighbour, unfortunately, they are also target of vandalism. For me it has nothing to do with eventual fate. If the question is being asked if it's an affect on home value and there are people who think it is a problem, then it is an issue. There will be people who won't buy a house next to a cemetery just like there are others who won't buy next to a corner store or on a busy street. Everyone has their reasons, most of them personal and how they choose to live their lives. |
Oh boy. The bad puns this thread calls to mind are all too easy, aren't they? ;-D |
For the person that said "don't buy if there's a crematory" I am assuming that person thinks cremation is still being done by ovens and it isn't. I believe its all liquid now, so therefore no smoke. Maybe TMI, who knows? I would still say "yes" to living next to a cemetary. |
I don't ever think of cremations being done at the cemetery, just burials. I'd prefer an old small one, they look nice, a new one with traffic might bother me. |
- Posted by jenny_from_the_block (My Page) on Fri, Oct 2, 09 at 21:28
It would not bother me either. We live in an area where those little historic cemetaries are all over the place - I think they are quaint and would love to be buried in such a place (when I'm way old of course ;-) You said the house has an acre of land - how close to the headstones would your house be? Any chance you could do a fence or a row of shrubberies? Sounds like your house is in a great location otherwise. |
I'm of two minds. I probably wouldn't pass on a property if I loved loved loved it because it was next to or near a cemetary but I would have to think about it and weigh the pro's and cons vs. how much I loved it. Pro's - usually pretty, quiet, not too many people birdwatching, built in walking paths Con's - sad-seeing funerals would make me think of loss Scary - my imagination tends to get away from me sometimes at night although this happens less as I get older. Maybe it would depend on whether there were other neighbors or note Veggie gardening - right next to a cementary? Somehow seems a little um...ick although I realize thats somewhat ridiculous so is getting scared at night:) |

After spotting the photo below (which is one of those endlessly, shamelessly Pinterested-shots with no attribution, making tracking down the original creator impossible), Nagoya-based Tori Sugimura figured he'd try making a traditional Japanese version.
After successfully learning to craft his tiny power-outlet-covering sliding shoji screen doors, he caught the attention of a Japanese television show; the original clip is here, for Japanese speakers. Interest in Sugimura's wares subsequently exploded, and they're for sale on his Tori Craft website.
Unsurprisingly for a Japanese craftsperson, Sugimura spends a ridiculous amount of time getting the details right. In the cheerfully-scored video below, you can see that he not only hand-cuts the tiny half-lap joints for the shoji crossmembers, but he even uses a miniature chisel to carve grooves into the rails and stiles that take the solid panels:

[872] ERG vs. Alpha-Methylacyl-CoA Racemase Expression in Histologic Variants of Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate
Srinivas Gottipati, Jena Hudson, Peter Humphrey. Washington University, Saint Louis, MO
Background: The utility of the widely used p63/34βE12/alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) triple stain immunohistochemistry (IHC) can be limited in some variants of prostate adenocarcinoma (PC) including atrophic, foamy gland and pseudohyperplastic PC, where almost a third of these variants do not express AMACR. The recent discovery of TMPRSS2: ERG gene rearrangement in PC and the subsequent development of a highly specific antibody to ERG have generated considerable interest in ERG IHC as an aid in detecting prostate cancers. However, added diagnostic value of ERG expression beyond AMACR expression has not been addressed. The aim of the study was to investigate whether ERG IHC can provide an advantage in diagnosis of these deceptively benign-appearing variants.
Design: 97 radical prostatectomy cases of variant PC, including atrophic, foamy gland, and pseudohyperplastic (PH) adenocarcinomas were selected from our files. All cases had both variant adenocarcinoma and usual acinar adenocarcinoma components. H&E, triple stain with AMACR, and ERG IHC stains were obtained. Both the intensity (0-3) and the percentage of glands stained (1-4)were scored, generating an IHC score ranging from 0-12 for both ERG and AMACR expression. We searched for areas that were either completely negative or stained weakly for AMACR and compared these foci with ERG IHC to assess for difference in comparative staining.
Results: 50 of the 97 cases were positive in ERG IHC. Both ERG and AMACR antibodies marked usual acinar adenocarcinoma with greater intensity as compared to the variants. 15 cases had foci which were completely negative for AMACR including 12 foamy glands, 6 atrophic, 3 pseudohyperplastic, and 4 usual acinar adenocarcinoma foci; these foci were strongly positive with ERG. 16 cases showed significantly weaker staining with AMACR as compared to ERG in foci of variants and usual acinar adenocarcinoma of which there were 10 foci each of usual acinar and foamy glands and 5 foci of atrophic glands. The IHC scores of ERG/AMACR in these 31 cases was 11.6/8.3 for usual acinar, 11.2/6.2 for atrophic, 10.8/6.8 for microcystic, and 9.9/5.2 for foamy gland foci. In 2 cases AMACR was positive in ERG negative foci, which included one focus each of usual acinar and foamy gland PC.
Conclusions: ERG immunostains provide added value beyond AMACR immunostains in a substantial number of cases of prostatic adenocarcinoma with atrophic, foamy gland, and pseudohyperplastic variant histological appearance, that can be deceptively-benign appearing.

Sandra Bullock Gossip
Sandra Bullock gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Halloween Best Friends
Have you seen The Heat? Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy fell in love with each other in The Heat. And it shows. They have great admiration for each other. They are generous with each other, in every single scene. There's no doubt that they adore each other. And, as you're watching, you adore them for it. Full Story
I won't take my shirt off if you vote for me

Matthew McConaughey can smell it. Last night he was honoured with the Hollywood Actor Award at the Hollywood Film Awards. As you know, McConaughey's work in Killer Joe and Mud, followed by his performance in Dallas Buyers Club, is being called the best of his career, considered, by some, to be worth of an Oscar nomination. Full Story
OMG Sandy, Sandy, Sandy!
Stuart C. Wilson/ Eamonn M. McCormack/ Getty
Holy sh--------t. Sometimes someone looks so good you want to punch yourself in the face. Picture me pile-driving myself over and over again. Because Sandra Bullock, tonight in London at the premiere of Gravity, is f-cking amazing...at any age, and she's almost 50. We did a thing on The Social a couple of weeks ago about a recent study that revealed that most people think that 50 is the ideal age and all of us were like, really? Bullsh-t. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Gravity broke the October box office record for a non-sequel this weekend. It's great news for movie stars. And it's great news for Sandra Bullock, who is a real movie star. Sandy's 2013/2014 is looking a lot like her 2009/2010 – hit comedy in the summer (The Proposal/The Heat) followed by a commercially successful drama in the fall (The Blind Side/Gravity) and then…on to Oscar?
If Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep have locked down the first two nomination spots (and, right now, it seems inconceivable that they won't be there in March), Gravity's success means Sandy's running a very close third in the race. Given how popular she is, Sandy's also good for Oscar ratings. Not bad for a woman who's turning 50 next year. Read Full Intro
House Porn: George Clooney edition
Maybe it's because we have our own house now, but I've never been as into House Porn as I am now. Also, I have no eye for interiors. It's weird because when it comes to clothing, I know exactly what I want. When it comes to where I live and what that could look like…no idea. Full Story
Sandra Bullock VOGUEs
Sandra Bullock covers the new issue of VOGUE. You know Sandy's one of my favourites but I can't say this is the most memorable interview ever. By design. Sandy's not all that gossipy, you know? There was a Big Gossip Story that happened to her, sure, but Sandy in her own space? She actively avoids it. Full Story
West Coast Mr Sanchez
George Clooney is in Vancouver working on Tomorrowland. It's a Disney movie sort of maybe about Disney directed by Brad Bird. The other night he went out to a sushi restaurant and made the reservation under Mr Sanchez. Ha. Here are some exclusive photos of Clooney on the first day of shooting in Vancouver yesterday. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
A change in format today.
I have press all day for The Social, our upcoming afternoon talk show premiering on Monday on CTV in Canada. We start at 6am ET with interviews every half hour or so. Normally I try to structure my work schedule to accommodate for blogging but this time it was impossible.
So I've pre-written 3 posts and shout-outs, and for the rest of the day, Duana will be our Guest Editor. She already has a LOT to say about Lisa Kudrow joining the cast of Scandal. Look out. Also, she might try to find any excuse to talk about Julia Roberts, her true love. You can reach Duana on Twitter @duanaelise or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I'm back full-time tomorrow. Read Full Intro
Gravity is good, Sandy challenges Cate
Gravity might be great. Rapturous early reviews are coming out of the Venice Film Festival where Sandra Bullock and George Clooney presented the film for the first time yesterday. The film is being called a visual masterpiece, in particular its 13 minute opening – a single shot. This, then, is not The Great Gatsby. Full Story
Just fall in love already!
La Pira/ Brussa/ Splash News, Ian Gavan/ Pascal Le Segretain/ APF/ Tiziana Fabi/ Andreas Rentz/ Getty Images
If the Gossip Genie won't help us out, I don't know, maybe Jesus Oprah can. Or the benevolent Beyonce. Only those two are powerful enough to put them together – Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Check them out, arriving at the gala premiere of Gravity tonight. And what a handsome couple. Full Story
Why can't this be more than friends?
Wenn, Splash
Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are kicking off the Venice Film Festival tonight with Gravity. Here they are at the photocall this afternoon. Now WHYYYYYYYYYYY can't this be more than friends? They clearly like each other. And if the physical is any indication, they seem to bring out the best in each other. Full Story
Sandy, Louis, and George together again
Wenn, Splash
The Venice Film Festival opens tomorrow. First film: Gravity, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. I've talked to a few people at TIFF. They all said it's an extraordinary piece of filmmaking. So for those of you who've been asking me what to line up for at the festival, this would be a good one, and not just because it features two of the biggest movie stars in the world. Full Story
Morning promises
I love these photos of Sandra Bullock taking Louis to school the other day. SO cute. And perhaps not unlike conversations we've all had with our parents in the morning… "When you come home later…" Fill in the blank with whatever it was that you were looking forward to. Full Story
Wenn, Kevin Winter/ Handout/ Getty
Now that I'm moving to Toronto, I'll be able to take my ma to the movies. The process of taking the Chinese Squawking Chicken to the movies is, I imagine, kinda like taking a child to the movies in that your selection has to be very particular. For kids, no violence, no profanity, etc. For the Squawking Chicken, we avoid the talky ones, because she doesn't understand the language and also because she hates when people are long-winded, which rules out dramas.

Poll: Nearly 80% Of Americans Think No One Survived Flight
Thursday, May 8, 2014
(Undated) -- Most Americans believe no one aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 survived whatever happened to the missing jet. A new CNN/ORC International poll shows 79 percent believe everyone who was on board the ill-fated flight is dead. The Beijing-bound flight vanished about two months ago after it took off from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board. About half of those polled say the general public will eventually find out what happened to Flight 370.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K3TBXtG_ZNI/UguqPohQiTI/AAAAAAAAAOk/Vuob5hSFbEg/s640/059.JPG Here is a link to the image of the affected leaves that are drying up. My Amana Orange that is next to it is also having an issue, but instead of browning and the leaves dying, they are simply completely turning yellow and slowly browning. It does not necessarily seem to be a blight, I did fertilize a couple weeks ago with a very small side-dressing of miracle grow, and about a week before then I made some compost tea for the first time, and then afterward my plants started showing symptoms of stress, but all different among each plant. My cherokee purple plants are putting out a lot of new growth, flowering, but at the same time the new growth is yellowish and small necrotic patches are formed on the new growth. It has recently become VERY cool for late July and August here in Iowa and I have ground covering over my partially raised bed. Checking the soil ( I have not watered it for a while with these cool temperatures, but it is still pretty moist around 4 inches down). The soil has been amended and tested with a pH around 6 with lime added at blossoming, compost, and so forth. All other nutrients tested well at the beginning of summer. In addition, I have had some aphids around and whiteflies are EVERYWHERE!!! I repeat EVERYWHERE!!! I'm treating the plants with Fertilome Triple Action Plus II, which is 70% neem oil, to try and control the pest issues. I feel I've overwhelmed anyone who has read this, but I am overwhelmed with the misfortune this season has taken. I'm a second year gardener, but nevertheless I have learned a lot in the past 2 years about plants and what is necessary for a fruitful garden, but I don't think I've had enough experience to deal with this strange season we've had and the problems it has brought on completely opposite of last year when the temps were much higher and the season was dry all year. Anyway, I'm sure this is more theraputic for me to discuss, rather than helpful for someone to diagnose my problem, but I think the issue may be my soil has too much clay still and all the water and cool weather has suffocated the roots of my plants. Any opinions are greatly appreciated, I enjoy reading this forum! Below is a picture of the Purple Cherokee new growth |

looking at buildings with 'families learning together'
I met a lovely group this morning from 'families learning together' who took part in one of my looking at buildings sessions.
I sent them out to do some sketches and they came back with these beauties! We then turned the sketches in to 3d models and they were really wonderful!
On saturday, the Craftivists (well, the wonderful Sarah Corbett) came to Oriel 1 to help us make mini protest banners dealing with asylum seekers and refugees.
In the gallery at the moment we have an exhibition called Refugee House which is a recreation of a typical refugee or asylum seeker dwelling in Cardiff.
One of the intentions of the exhibtion is to raise awareness about the lives of refugees and asylum seekers in Wales and the rest of the UK.
We thought making banners with other Crafitivists would raise even more awareness about the issues - while stitching slogans and quotes on our mini banners we could really think about the words and discuss their meaning, and when we hung the banners up afterwards other people could read the quotes and perhaps want to investigate more.
It was a really interesting day and I met lots of lovely new crafters, we've hung up most of the banners, but there will be more to come - let me know if you see any!
oh and do go and see what other things the Craftivists do and see how you can get involved.
Thanks to Reynette from Oasis who gave us a bit more of an insight into the lives of refugees and asylum seekers in Wales by telling us about her work and experiences at Oasis Cardiff.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 One day Gideon's son Abimelech went to Shechem to visit his mother's brothers. He said to them and to the rest of his mother's family, | 1 Abimelech son of Jerub-Baal went to his mother's brothers in Shechem and said to them and to all his mother's clan, |
2 "Ask the people of Shechem whether they want to be ruled by all seventy of Gideon's sons or by one man. And remember, I am your own flesh and blood!" | 2 "Ask all the citizens of Shechem, 'Which is better for you: to have all seventy of Jerub-Baal's sons rule over you, or just one man?' Remember, I am your flesh and blood." |
3 So Abimelech's uncles spoke to all the people of Shechem on his behalf. And after listening to their proposal, they decided in favor of Abimelech because he was their relative. | 3 When the brothers repeated all this to the citizens of Shechem, they were inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, "He is our brother." |
4 They gave him seventy silver coins from the temple of Baal-berith, which he used to hire some soldiers who agreed to follow him. | 4 They gave him seventy shekels of silver from the temple of Baal-Berith, and Abimelech used it to hire reckless adventurers, who became his followers. |
5 He took the soldiers to his father's home at Ophrah, and there, on one stone, they killed all seventy of his half brothers. But the youngest brother, Jotham, escaped and hid. | 5 He went to his father's home in Ophrah and on one stone murdered his seventy brothers, the sons of Jerub-Baal. But Jotham, the youngest son of Jerub-Baal, escaped by hiding. |
6 Then the people of Shechem and Beth-millo called a meeting under the oak beside the pillar at Shechem and made Abimelech their king. | 6 Then all the citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo gathered beside the great tree at the pillar in Shechem to crown Abimelech king. |
7 When Jotham heard about this, he climbed to the top of Mount Gerizim and shouted, "Listen to me, people of Shechem! Listen to me if you want God to listen to you! | 7 When Jotham was told about this, he climbed up on the top of Mount Gerizim and shouted to them, "Listen to me, citizens of Shechem, so that God may listen to you. |
8 Once upon a time the trees decided to elect a king. First they said to the olive tree, 'Be our king!' | 8 One day the trees went out to anoint a king for themselves. They said to the olive tree, 'Be our king.' |
9 But it refused, saying, 'Should I quit producing the olive oil that blesses both God and people, just to wave back and forth over the trees?'" | 9 "But the olive tree answered, 'Should I give up my oil, by which both gods and men are honored, to hold sway over the trees?' |
10 "Then they said to the fig tree, 'You be our king!' | 10 "Next, the trees said to the fig tree, 'Come and be our king.' |
11 But the fig tree also refused, saying, 'Should I quit producing my sweet fruit just to wave back and forth over the trees?'" | 11 "But the fig tree replied, 'Should I give up my fruit, so good and sweet, to hold sway over the trees?' |
12 "Then they said to the grapevine, 'You be our king!' | 12 "Then the trees said to the vine, 'Come and be our king.' |
13 But the grapevine replied, 'Should I quit producing the wine that cheers both God and people, just to wave back and forth over the trees?'" | 13 "But the vine answered, 'Should I give up my wine, which cheers both gods and men, to hold sway over the trees?' |
14 "Then all the trees finally turned to the thornbush and said, 'Come, you be our king!' | 14 "Finally all the trees said to the thornbush, 'Come and be our king.' |
15 And the thornbush replied, 'If you truly want to make me your king, come and take shelter in my shade. If not, let fire come out from me and devour the cedars of Lebanon.' | 15 "The thornbush said to the trees, 'If you really want to anoint me king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, then let fire come out of the thornbush and consume the cedars of Lebanon!' |
16 "Now make sure you have acted honorably and in good faith by making Abimelech your king, and that you have done right by Gideon and all of his descendants. Have you treated my father with the honor he deserves? | 16 "Now if you have acted honorably and in good faith when you made Abimelech king, and if you have been fair to Jerub-Baal and his family, and if you have treated him as he deserves-- |
17 For he fought for you and risked his life when he rescued you from the Midianites. | 17 and to think that my father fought for you, risked his life to rescue you from the hand of Midian |
18 But now you have revolted against my father and his descendants, killing his seventy sons on one stone. And you have chosen his slave woman's son, Abimelech, to be your king just because he is your relative. | 18 (but today you have revolted against my father's family, murdered his seventy sons on a single stone, and made Abimelech, the son of his slave girl, king over the citizens of Shechem because he is your brother)-- |
19 If you have acted honorably and in good faith toward Gideon and his descendants, then may you find joy in Abimelech, and may he find joy in you. | 19 if then you have acted honorably and in good faith toward Jerub-Baal and his family today, may Abimelech be your joy, and may you be his, too! |
20 But if you have not acted in good faith, then may fire come out from Abimelech and devour the people of Shechem and Beth-millo; and may fire come out from the people of Shechem and Beth-millo and devour Abimelech!" | 20 But if you have not, let fire come out from Abimelech and consume you, citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo, and let fire come out from you, citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo, and consume Abimelech!" |
21 Then Jotham escaped and lived in Beer because he was afraid of his brother Abimelech. | 21 Then Jotham fled, escaping to Beer, and he lived there because he was afraid of his brother Abimelech. |
22 After Abimelech had ruled over Israel for three years, | 22 After Abimelech had governed Israel three years, |
23 God stirred up trouble between Abimelech and the people of Shechem, and they revolted. | 23 God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the citizens of Shechem, who acted treacherously against Abimelech. |
24 In the events that followed, God punished Abimelech and the men of Shechem for murdering Gideon's seventy sons. | 24 God did this in order that the crime against Jerub-Baal's seventy sons, the shedding of their blood, might be avenged on their brother Abimelech and on the citizens of Shechem, who had helped him murder his brothers. |
25 The people of Shechem set an ambush for Abimelech on the hilltops and robbed everyone who passed that way. But someone warned Abimelech about their plot. | 25 In opposition to him these citizens of Shechem set men on the hilltops to ambush and rob everyone who passed by, and this was reported to Abimelech. |
26 At that time Gaal son of Ebed moved to Shechem with his brothers and gained the confidence of the people of Shechem. | 26 Now Gaal son of Ebed moved with his brothers into Shechem, and its citizens put their confidence in him. |
27 During the annual harvest festival at Shechem, held in the temple of the local god, the wine flowed freely, and everyone began cursing Abimelech. | 27 After they had gone out into the fields and gathered the grapes and trodden them, they held a festival in the temple of their god. While they were eating and drinking, they cursed Abimelech. |
28 "Who is Abimelech?" Gaal shouted. "He's not a true descendant of Shechem! Why should we be Abimelech's servants? He's merely the son of Gideon, and Zebul is his administrator. Serve the men of Hamor, who are Shechem's true descendants. Why should we serve Abimelech? | 28 Then Gaal son of Ebed said, "Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should be subject to him? Isn't he Jerub-Baal's son, and isn't Zebul his deputy? Serve the men of Hamor, Shechem's father! Why should we serve Abimelech? |
29 If I were in charge, I would get rid of Abimelech. I would say to him, 'Get some more soldiers, and come out and fight!'" | 29 If only this people were under my command! Then I would get rid of him. I would say to Abimelech, 'Call out your whole army!' " |
30 But when Zebul, the leader of the city, heard what Gaal was saying, he was furious. | 30 When Zebul the governor of the city heard what Gaal son of Ebed said, he was very angry. |
31 He sent messengers to Abimelech in Arumah, telling him, "Gaal son of Ebed and his brothers have come to live in Shechem, and now they are inciting the city to rebel against you. | 31 Under cover he sent messengers to Abimelech, saying, "Gaal son of Ebed and his brothers have come to Shechem and are stirring up the city against you. |
32 Come by night with an army and hide out in the fields. | 32 Now then, during the night you and your men should come and lie in wait in the fields. |
33 In the morning, as soon as it is daylight, storm the city. When Gaal and those who are with him come out against you, you can do with them as you wish." | 33 In the morning at sunrise, advance against the city. When Gaal and his men come out against you, do whatever your hand finds to do." |
34 So Abimelech and his men went by night and split into four groups, stationing themselves around Shechem. | 34 So Abimelech and all his troops set out by night and took up concealed positions near Shechem in four companies. |
35 Gaal was standing at the city gates when Abimelech and his army came out of hiding. | 35 Now Gaal son of Ebed had gone out and was standing at the entrance to the city gate just as Abimelech and his soldiers came out from their hiding place. |
36 When Gaal saw them, he said to Zebul, "Look, there are people coming down from the hilltops! "Zebul replied, "It's just the shadows of the hills that look like men." | 36 When Gaal saw them, he said to Zebul, "Look, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains!" Zebul replied, "You mistake the shadows of the mountains for men." |
37 But again Gaal said, "No, people are coming down from the hills. And another group is coming down the road past the Diviners' Oak. " | 37 But Gaal spoke up again: "Look, people are coming down from the center of the land, and a company is coming from the direction of the soothsayers' tree." |
38 Then Zebul turned on him triumphantly. "Now where is that big mouth of yours?" he demanded. "Wasn't it you that said, 'Who is Abimelech, and why should we be his servants?' The men you mocked are right outside the city! Go out and fight them!" | 38 Then Zebul said to him, "Where is your big talk now, you who said, 'Who is Abimelech that we should be subject to him?' Aren't these the men you ridiculed? Go out and fight them!" |
39 Gaal then led the men of Shechem into battle against Abimelech, | 39 So Gaal led out the citizens of Shechem and fought Abimelech. |
40 but he was defeated and ran away. Many of Shechem's warriors were killed, and the ground was covered with dead bodies all the way to the city gate. | 40 Abimelech chased him, and many fell wounded in the flight--all the way to the entrance to the gate. |
41 Abimelech stayed in Arumah, and Zebul drove Gaal and his brothers out of Shechem. | 41 Abimelech stayed in Arumah, and Zebul drove Gaal and his brothers out of Shechem. |
42 The next day the people of Shechem went out into the fields to battle. When Abimelech heard about it, | 42 The next day the people of Shechem went out to the fields, and this was reported to Abimelech. |
43 he divided his men into three groups and set an ambush in the fields. When Abimelech saw the people coming out of the city, he and his men jumped up from their hiding places and attacked them. | 43 So he took his men, divided them into three companies and set an ambush in the fields. When he saw the people coming out of the city, he rose to attack them. |
44 Abimelech and his group stormed the city gate to keep the men of Shechem from getting back in, while Abimelech's other two groups cut them down in the fields. | 44 Abimelech and the companies with him rushed forward to a position at the entrance to the city gate. Then two companies rushed upon those in the fields and struck them down. |
45 The battle went on all day before Abimelech finally captured the city. He killed the people, leveled the city, and scattered salt all over the ground. | 45 All that day Abimelech pressed his attack against the city until he had captured it and killed its people. Then he destroyed the city and scattered salt over it. |
46 When the people who lived in the tower of Shechem heard what had happened, they took refuge within the walls of the temple of Baal-berith. | 46 On hearing this, the citizens in the tower of Shechem went into the stronghold of the temple of El-Berith. |
47 Someone reported to Abimelech that the people were gathered together in the temple, | 47 When Abimelech heard that they had assembled there, |
48 so he led his forces to Mount Zalmon. He took an ax and chopped some branches from a tree, and he put them on his shoulder. "Quick, do as I have done!" he told his men. | 48 he and all his men went up Mount Zalmon. He took an ax and cut off some branches, which he lifted to his shoulders. He ordered the men with him, "Quick! Do what you have seen me do!" |
49 So each of them cut down some branches, following Abimelech's example. They piled the branches against the walls of the temple and set them on fire. So all the people who had lived in the tower of Shechem died, about a thousand men and women. | 49 So all the men cut branches and followed Abimelech. They piled them against the stronghold and set it on fire over the people inside. So all the people in the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women, also died. |
50 Then Abimelech attacked the city of Thebez and captured it. | 50 Next Abimelech went to Thebez and besieged it and captured it. |
51 But there was a strong tower inside the city, and the entire population fled to it. They barricaded themselves in and climbed up to the roof of the tower. | 51 Inside the city, however, was a strong tower, to which all the men and women--all the people of the city--fled. They locked themselves in and climbed up on the tower roof. |
52 Abimelech followed them to attack the tower. But as he prepared to set fire to the entrance, | 52 Abimelech went to the tower and stormed it. But as he approached the entrance to the tower to set it on fire, |
53 a woman on the roof threw down a millstone that landed on Abimelech's head and crushed his skull. | 53 a woman dropped an upper millstone on his head and cracked his skull. |
54 He said to his young armor bearer, "Draw your sword and kill me! Don't let it be said that a woman killed Abimelech!" So the young man stabbed him with his sword, and he died. | 54 Hurriedly he called to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and kill me, so that they can't say, 'A woman killed him.' " So his servant ran him through, and he died. |
55 When Abimelech's men saw that he was dead, they disbanded and returned to their homes. | 55 When the Israelites saw that Abimelech was dead, they went home. |
56 Thus, God punished Abimelech for the evil he had done against his father by murdering his seventy brothers. | 56 Thus God repaid the wickedness that Abimelech had done to his father by murdering his seventy brothers. |
57 God also punished the men of Shechem for all their evil. So the curse of Jotham son of Gideon came true. | 57 God also made the men of Shechem pay for all their wickedness. The curse of Jotham son of Jerub-Baal came on them. |

Recipes for Mom {grilled corn}
Growing up in Ohio, one food that we had around all summer long, was corn. Fresh from the little market stands along the street, I remember inspecting + filling up bags of corn each week. By inspecting I mean, shucking the very top of the corn and taking a peek to see what it looked like.
- white + yellow kernels, our favorite
- medium size, not too big or small
- not mashed or wrinkled looking kernels
That was the fun part.
My least favorite part was coming home + being on corn shucking duty. I would sit outside on the porch, with the plastic bag of corn to my left + a brown paper bag in front of me.
With one ear of corn over the paper bag, you crack the end off, then peel back the leaves and tear them off.
Then it's time to pluck off all those annoying "hairs." They always stuck to my fingers and I could never get them all off.
All those years growing up, we made corn one way. That I can remember. Boiled!
My mom would boil the corn, while my dad grilled outside. Then we rolled the corn on a stick of butter + seasoned with salt. I'm sure my parents also added pepper, but I was all about the salt.
The boiling method works perfectly well. I enjoyed many years of delicious corn.
But there is this other method that just makes things a little more interesting.
And tasty!
Grilled corn. I remember first hearing about it and being utterly confused. How could that work? Well it does and it couldn't be easier. To me, it's even easier than boiling them in a huge pot of water.
Now I've seen a ton of grilled corn variations.
- completely shucked, seasoned + grilled right on the grates
- husk pulled back, shuck the hairs, season, pull husk back up + grill
- completely shucked, soaked in salt water
- completely shucked, soaked in salt + sugar water
- completely shucked, seasoned + covered in foil
My method of choice? 1 + 2 I've never found a reason to soak the corn. If it's good quality corn, why does it need to be soaked? And foil? Unnecessary.
For this tutorial, I'll explain methods 1 + 2.
Let's start with method 1.
Peeled + Shucked Grilled Corn
- 1 ear of corn
- 1t sunflower oil [other oil, or melted butter]
- ~1/8t salt
- black pepper
- Pre-heat your grill to med-high ~350*
- Crack the stem off the end of the corn + discard.
- Peel back the husk, tear off + discard.
- Pluck off the hairs [actually called silk] + discard.
- Rub with 1t oil + season with salt + pepper or whatever else you like.
- Grill for a total of 10-12min, rotating 3-4 times.
Pretty simple, no?
Now, if you want to make things more interesting, you can throw together a little spice mix like I did below.
Smoked Paprika Grilled Corn [for 1 ear of corn]
- 1/2t smoked paprika
- 1/8t salt
- black pepper
- 1t sunflower oil [or other high heat oil]
- 1/8t garlic powder
- Follow steps 1-4 above.
- Mix spices together + combine with oil. Rub into corn.
- Follow step 6.
Oh, smoked paprika. How I love thee!!! Seriously, if you've never tried it, this is a must buy spice! I have a huge container of it from Costco, that cost about $3.50.
Now, on to method #2.
In-Husk Grilled Corn
- 1 ear of corn
- 1t sunflower oil [other oil, or melted butter]
- ~1/8t salt
- black pepper
- Pre-heat your grill to med-high ~350*
- Crack the stem off the end of the corn + discard.
- Carefully, peel back the husk, but do not tear off.
- Pluck off the hairs [actually called silk] + discard.
- Rub with 1t oil + season with salt + pepper or whatever else you like.
- Pull the attached husks back up over the corn.
- Tie with a silicone cooking band. [optional]
- Grill for a total of 10-12min, rotating 3-4 times.
You can add whatever other seasonings you want!
A few years ago, I picked up a set of silicone cooking ties. They can withstand really hot temperatures and have come in handy for so many things. Much easier to use than cooking twine. I found them at Bed, Bath + Beyond.
While they help keep the husk wrapped up around the corn, tying is not necessary.
Instead of oil, salt + pepper, try spicing things up a bit.
- curry, honey, cayenne
- cumin, garlic, coriander, chile powder
- oregano, basil, garlic
- bbq sauce
- soy sauce
- hot sauce
So many options!
After placing on the grill, shut the lid and only open to turn. Rotate 3-4 times for 10-12min. If you're not seeing char marks, your grill is not hot enough. Be careful not to overcook. No one wants mushy corn.
Bring inside + let cool a few minutes before serving.
Peel back the husk [if going with method 2] and chow down.
Since figuring out this method, my parents have asked me numerous times how to go about it. Instead of telling them how to grill corn over the phone, I figured this post would be much more helpful.
Now, only one question remains.
How do you eat your corn?
Typewriter style?
No pattern at all?
Rotate in a circle?
I'm not sure what this means about me as a person, but I eat my corn pretty haphazardly.
No rhyme or reason.
Just bite, chew…
and enjoy.
Perfectly juicy, crisp, organic, grilled corn.
Happy Friday!
Just catching up?

Commissioned by owner Young J Song, product designer Sam Buxton, in collaboration with textile designer Emily Hiller, has knitted a new-look interior for the Bordello Bar in London's Soho.
Buxton's designs run through the bar's two main rooms, entrance area and stairs, the walls of which are covered with red curtains of hand-tied netting. According to the designer, the seating and lighting were integrated to make it appear as though the interior is constructed from a single surface. Together, the wall hangings and a sculptural installation in the bar's main room contain 2.5km of knitted, hand-knotted and woven cord.
more after the jump
One of the rooms feature woven fabric that has been laid over wire to create sinuous, tree-like shapes. Set off against Sam's signature metal sheeting style is the bar's serving area, which displays liquor bottles held in net sacks, whilst steel cabling creates a subtle yet bold tunnel for serving trays.
The concept design by Sam Buxton with fabrication of the patterns, solutions and details for the walls, lights and bottle rack system by textile designer Emily Hiller. Buxton intends to create more installations in the bar in the future, this work primarily exploring ways of creating an environment from a single structure.
The Bordello Bar, on London's Wardour Street, W1, re-opened last Saturday. You can view the Bordello opening photoset by Mike Wu here.

"This is definitely simple, and I don't think anyone can mess it up. If you enjoy molasses, then these are chewy and wonderful. I know so many who don't, so I made a test batch at home by halving the recipe. Still worked great, I got about 6 balls. From reading other recipes, greasing up hands worked, too."
"Wonderful! Didn't have pumpkin pie spice, but looked up the ratio of spices online. 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. ginger, 1/8 tsp. allspice, 1/8 tsp. nutmeg. Really enjoyed them. Made them again for friends, but tripled the recipe. It didn't quite work, but I didn't do it quite right, ran out of cinnamon so they were heavier on ginger, I felt they ..."
"I added some chopped up butternut squash I had in the freezer. So, I added more of everything, except pumpkin and cream (i.e., another can of tomatoes, but I used Rotel to give it a kick, another can of beans, more corn, more stock, more spices). I ommitted the pepper since the Rotel provided more than enough heat. This was great. I paired it with..."
"Personally, I would have liked a litle more zip to the cake, but my bookclub loved it. I would have added another tsp. of cinnamon. Two things I was unsure of. Do I beat by hand or an electric mixer? Since I used an electric mixer, I think the cake rose more than it should have since coffee cake is usually pretty dense. Are the nut mixture measure..."
"Actually, when making these using Carnation brand condensed milk, I noticed they have this recipe on the inside of their label. Anyways, they say to press down on everything when you have it all layered, assuming you put the milk on the bottom. This helps to make things stay together better. Also, I used a pyrex dish, and I put the temp. on 325..."
"I was amazed how easy it was, considering you just dump everything into a bowl. Turned out great, I think the cherries really added a good taste and texture to the cake. Hehe, I told everybody who asked if I had hummingbirds in it, that the red, mushy looking things were their brains. Kinda morbid, but so was the question.I'm not sure, but I..."
