Omega-6 Fatty Acid Critical to Skin Health
Posted: May 12, 2010
page 3 of 3
"We usually think of inflammation as a bad thing, but in this case, prostaglandins prevented dermatitis, which is an inflammatory reaction. We measured prostaglandin levels in the animals' skin, and when we fed arachidonic acid to the knockout mice, they resumed making these important chemical compounds," he said.
Nakamura cautioned that there are still things they don't understand about the function of this omega-6 fatty acid. "This new knowledge is a starting point in understanding the mechanisms that are involved, and we need to do more research at the cellular level."
The study was published in a recent issue of the Journal of Lipid Research. Co-authors are Chad K. Stroud, Takayuki Y. Nara, Manuel Roqueta-Rivera, Emily C. Radlowski, Byung H. Cho, Mariangela Segre, Rex A. Hess, and Wanda M. Haschek, all of the U of I, and Peter Lawrence, Ying Zhang, and J. Thomas Brenna of Cornell University. Funding was provided in part by a USDA National Needs Fellowship Award and a grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Final Thoughts
I think I would be correct in saying all the editors on the ABIT sponsored trip to Shanghai, China for ACON4 and the factory tours had an interesting time and it was a great experience. While I won't be rushing back to China for the reasons mentioned in the introduction, overall the trip was positive.
ACON4 was our first global competition we've attended and it seemed to go quite well and will surely go along way to helping ABIT promote their products, especially as I know the TV crew from CCTV was in attendance.
The ABIT factory tour was quite interesting. I remember a few years ago back at my first Computex in Taipei when I toured the old ABIT factory in Taiwan - things haven't changed all that much along the assembly line. Although, it was interesting to note that the machines do their thing much quicker these days. The pace and precision the Surface Mount machines place the IC's on the motherboard is really incredible. It was obvious ABIT are employing as many new factory level methods as possible to help produce the ultimate quality and reliable motherboard for the end-user. I'm not sure what other motherboard manufacturers are doing to reduce their returns and increase overall quality, but I can tell you all that they have something to worry about as far as ABIT's intentions go in this department.
The Kingston factory was basically what I expected it would be. Their current factory is not very big and quite old. We were told that Kingston would be moving to a brand new facility by the end of the year which would enable them to increase their output capacity as well as conducting such tasks as sales and marketing from the same building. Thanks for the pizza guys! ;)

Brewed For Her: A Stale Brew
Miller Park, milwaukee brewers, Off-Base April 10th, 2013
To say the Milwaukee Brewers haven't been doing a lot of things right lately is something of an understatement. Between the bullpen pitching like they owe the strike zone money, Carlos Gomez and Rickie Weeks' ongoing re-enactment of Weekend At Bernie's and Weekend At Bernie's 2 at the plate, and Ron Roenicke's apparent Punk-ing of John Axford by way of (attempted) multi-inning outings... things could be better. Yuniesky Betancourt is an everyday starter for Christ's sake! Excluding really cold games that allow lil' Yunie to look like a manbaby with his cherub cheeks poking through his ninja mask, that's never a good thing.
With all the bad things happening on the field so far this season, you'd think the organization would go above and beyond to ensure that other elements of the game experience are enjoyable enough to cancel out the sub-standard baseball games themselves. And to a point, the front office and PR department has succeeded in doing this. I mean, there's that awesome Briggs & Stratton roulette in-game promotion! Last week, a concession worker begrudgingly honored my request to mix both lime and strawberry-flavored margarita into my mug. Plus, Miller Park is just in time to ride that "Gangnam Style" wave.
However, the Brewers new "Brewed For Her" promotion is one of the worst, most poorly-thought, tone deaf attempts to get fans to the park I've seen since "Gary Sheffield effigy night" back in 1995.
For those fortunate enough to miss this soft-colored, heart-laden promo flyer, on May 25, Miller Park's Gehl Club will transform into a place for the LAAAAAAAAAYYDEEEEEZ!!!
Since women evidently aren't intelligent enough to be entertained by an unimpeded baseball game on its own, Brewed For Her aims to help distract women from hard-to-understand elements of this man's game and all its "points", "home's runs" and utter lack of Kardashians with a series of antiquated offerings such as:
• Style tips from fashion experts & 15 top merchandise vendors
• Special selection of women's Brewers apparel & accessories
• Interactive stations / demonstrations for hair & nails
• Gift bag filled with Brewers goodies
• Game ticket including food & beverage in the exclusive Gehl club
OH EM GEE!!! You mean for a mere $115, gurlz can get access to a closed off section--awesome usage of "exclusive" by the way to suggest watching the game from 600 feet away from behind a splotchy window is somehow VIP--of the park while indulging in some of the most generalized feminine activities ever?
Style tips from fashion experts? I'd love to be a fly on the wall to hear a Boston Store buyer take time from their day to tell women, "Tie a knot in that Aoki shirsey! And remember, pink is always a home run! Home run is a baseball term that is a positive thing, by the way." Demonstrations for hair & nails? "Adjustable caps, ladies. Cheaper than fitted hats and great for holding ponytails."
Unfortunately, there won't be enough time available for the lecture from an adjunct Alverno professor entitled "Spitting and Chewing Tobacco: Gross. But necessary?"
In short, I'm a dude and I find this to be incredibly sexist and offensive. Maybe in 1950s American society, a time that marginalized women and discouraged them from sports viewing, this would've had a place... barely. But we're living in a time where thousands of females are in fantasy baseball leagues, there's an array of talented and hardworking female reporters and columnists contributing to the baseball conversation and newscycle. I personally know a handful of ladies who know as much or more about the Brewers than I do. Unless there's a Brewed For Him game planned with equally predictable activities like "Shotgunning beers for dummies" and an "All you can meat bar... MEAT MEAT MEAT [grunt noise, fart]", I don't think this type gender-specific promotion has a place in a 2013 Major League baseball stadium.
I know some women will gladly attend this, and that's their right. Not all women love baseball, and I think (or hope) that's the demographic that Brewers PR was intending to hit when it came up with Brewed For Her. However, I think the shortsighted activities, the cringeworthy flyer design and the promotion's existence missed the mark entirely.
Homestander: Fantasy And Reality
Baseball, Off Topic Week, Off-Base April 4th, 2013
Each Thursday preceding Brewers weekend home stands, Tyler Maas will help prepare fans for all elements of the upcoming series with the Homestander. Tyler prints Wisconsin-themed shirts at Forward Fabrics and contributes to such fine publications as Milwaukee Magazine and The A.V. Club Milwaukee. All views, naughty words and weirdo sentiments are his own. Follow him at @TylerJamesMaas.
Last weekend, my fantasy league had its draft in a secluded backroom at a bar (creatively called "The Bar") back in my hometown of Appleton. This is the eighth year of my league, so we all kind of have our tendencies. Some over-study, others do next-to-no work (me), there's the guy who takes five minutes to pick, the dude who always drafts Shin Soo Choo two rounds too early, the one running two separate projection aps on his elaborate bar-table war room. Among other tendencies I have (taking too many starters way too early), I've always been the guy who doesn't draft any meaningful Brewers.
A good portion of our league either keeps Brewers or draft them way too early. Since I'm not about to take Aramis Ramirez in the second round or have Mike Fiers on my team at all, I usually miss out on the homer picks and try to get the best value left. This year was different. First, I reacted to a run on middle infielders by snatching up Rickie Weeks way too early. Whoops! Then I used the free pick from a trade to reach for Carlos Gomez in the sixth round (well, ninth including our three keepers) because he's my favorite Brewer. That's not even the worst of it. A mixture of taking down multiple buckets of beer and wanting to screw over other teams without shortstops yet, I drafted Jean Segura way too early... meaning I drafted Jean Segura.
Just days into the season, I've realized an underlying reason why I don't traditionally draft Brewers. I get too wrapped up in both being a Brewers fan AND being a fantasy nerd. Mixing the two has already led to lofty highs and crushing lows for me. When CarGo had a .125 OBP and no steals in the first series, it sucked all the more. When Weeks hit a homer last night and Miller Park went wild, I high-fived a friend and said "FANTASY!" which made me feel lame for putting stat priority over a player on my favorite real team doing well. As Jean Segura is blistering hot, I kick myself for having him on the bench. In short, it's weird to own Brewers in fantasy. Juggling fantasy and reality is tough. Rickie Weeks is available.

Homestander: Opening Day Edition
Off-Base March 28th, 2013
Each Thursday preceding Brewers weekend home stands, Tyler Maas will help prepare fans for all elements of the upcoming series with the Homestander. Tyler prints Wisconsin-themed shirts at Forward Fabrics and contributes to such fine publications as Milwaukee Magazine and The A.V. Club Milwaukee. All views, naughty words and weirdo sentiments are his own. Follow him at @TylerJamesMaas.
In many ways, October 3, 2012 wasn't that long ago. We have the same president. The lease I signed for my apartment has yet to expire. "Gangnam Style" is, unfortunately, still taking faint, periodic breaths of relevance. Though fewer than six months have elapsed since that early October night, it seems like eons have passed. That evening, Vince, myself and a documented 34,449 others (More like 12,000. We alone were handed 20 free tickets by people who had extras) witnessed the last regular season Brewers game that's occurred to date. Fittingly, it was a loss brought on by the bullpen.
Each of the days sitting between October 4 through this coming Easter Sunday is the longest day for Brewers fans. While there are some worthwhile things like Packer season, holidays, the return of beloved TV shows, the occasional concert or comedy show, feigning interest in Spring Training, and out-of-town excursions to occupy our interest and funnel our attention into, it all amounts to just temporary rest stops on the lengthy, desolate road that connects the last out of one season to the first pitch of the next.
Opening Day is special. Not only does it mark the return of baseball, but it also signals the true beginning of a cycle that includes grilling, outdoor drinking, the notion that before 161 more of these games are through being played the snow will melt and leaves will grow on (and later, fall off) trees. We'll be met by familiar sights, sounds and smells. There's also an infinite field of unpredictable possibilities that span April 1, 2013 and yet-to-be-known departure date of Brewers baseball. Maybe Ryan Braun will earn another MVP award that will be given to Buster Posey. Bob Uecker could muster the funniest statement of his broadcast career. A bevy of Twitter accounts devoted to Miller Park animals could be born. Any one of us could bone someone in one of the single occupancy shitters on the 400 level.
So much could happen. And I'm ready for it. Bring on baseball. Read the rest of this entry »
Lalli-Freakin-Da! Filling Milwaukee's Last Bench Spot
Baseball, milwaukee brewers March 25th, 2013
Note: This post was being written when it was announced that the Brewers were signing Kyle Lohse. The transaction is in stark contrast to much of the intro, but I'll be goddamned if I'm going to re-write it. Just pretend this was written Friday or something. Cool?
Every mid-February when pitchers and catchers report, life gets a little bit sweeter. Even though most of us are still marooned in the awful and unforgiving Wisconsin winter hundreds upon hundreds of miles away from said pitchers and catchers, the start of spring training offers methadone to help us through until we can score some regular season baseball.
Then position players show up to join the batteries in stretching along the chalk lines and jogging 90-foot increments. Immediately, Mat Gamel gets injured. Soon after, exhibition games start, allowing fans to comb over box scores that detail Rickie Weeks went 0-1 with a walk and some guy you never heard of had two hits in a split-squad contest against the Chinese Taipei WBC team. Maybe Bob Uecker says something funny on the radio while calling a game you don't really care about. A game or two gets televised.
After a barren winter of inactivity, articles and blog posts begin to pile up, each detailing that everyone is apparently in the best shape of his life, those who had a down season the previous year are looking to improve this time around and those who were successful last summer hope to repeat their performance. Some five weeks later, we sit idling at arguably the most frustrating point of the marathon baseball season.
Unless Doug Melvin gets partially digested by a python in the Arizona desert or Mark Attanasio makes a $33M last-minute impulse buy, every marginally-exciting storyline has been exhausted, the Opening Day starting lineup has been set in stone and there's nothing more that can be taken from a game occurring in or around Maryvale. Yet there's still a week standing between now and a baseball game at Miller Park. One of the last remaining uncertainties or points of speculation is who will occupy the lucrative last spot on the Brewers bench. There's a bevy of worthwhile options, but numerous factors both supporting and working against each of their respective cases. Read the rest of this entry »
You Can Buy Front Row Amy's Van
Fans, Off-Base January 29th, 2013
We've reached that point in the offseason where there's not much to write about. Well, the Brewers offseason moves up to this point (or lack thereof) haven't given us much fodder either, and it's not like we capitalized on writing something the few times a post was warranted... like that clutch Kelvim Escobar inking. But this post-Winter Meetings, pre-Spring Training late January lull is an especially brutal time to be a baseball fan of any team--especially a team being connected to remaining free agent names like Kyle Lohse (actually, that'd be kind of awesome at the right price) and the ghost of Lyle Overbay.
So we'll just take a detour from potential transactions and, instead, cover important periphery items in MPD's coverage area such as bad Brewers songs from two or three years ago and the most passionate, popular and attractive Brewers fan (excluding "The Maniac") selling her van.
That's right creeps, Front Row Amy is selling her van. The ol' girl has a lot of mileage, probably doesn't have much tread left on the tires, seems to have had a few body repairs along the way and is getting up there in years. And her 2005 Honda Odyssey has its issues too.
The vehicle has 126,450 miles, most of which were likely logged driving to and from Miller Park. But it features heated leather seats (which could probably be torn out and fashioned into some sort of gimp outfit so serve as some insane tribute with relative ease). The listing also boasts tinted windows and a rear entertainment system, so you can watch Brewers home games alone in a secluded location and truly feel the full unspoken connection that you and the van's only previous owner share... a connection that your friends, your estranged wife and concerned former co-workers will never even begin to understand BUT NOBODY WILL EVER UNDERSTAND YOU LIKE SHE DOES, GOD DAMMIT!!!
It also has cup holders, GPS and dual climate control. Nice features!
So if have an extra $11,900 laying around and you're hoping to bring your fandom of Brewers super fan regional semi-celebrity Front Row Amy to the next level, now is your time to strike... I mean, buy.
And for those of you who aren't obsessive weirdos and are just looking for a dependable van with a bunch of sweet extras, check it out.

In the movie "The Cinderella Story" there is a visual pun that would make Picasso proud. As Cinderella rushes away from the Ball to make her midnight curfew, she drops her cellphone (which had been set to give an alarm before midnight and was attached to her ankle under her gown). Prince Charming, chasing her on cue, picks up the cellphone as the only clue he then has to her identity. The plot of the movie rests on the text messaging of teenagers. Dropping a glass slipper would have been inappropriately retro.

Unwired College Honor Roll
Click the "Unwired College Honor Roll" title above to see the list just released by Intel of the top 100 unwired colleges. Contrast that with my last post about the scarcity of unwiring in K-12 schools. Go figure.
Unwiring K012
An article in today's New York Times mentions in passing the sad fact that less than 1,000 K-12 schools in the United States have fully wireless campuses. In all of the other schools our children are still tethered to computers by cables in classrooms and labs – if and when they have access at school to the internet at all. The same article mentions that in Maine, where schools have led in providing wireless, there have been stories "of students on the weekend sitting in their parents' car just outside school, accessing the network." It is a key insight into the rising recognition of wireless learning that the only critic cited in the article is Larry Cuban (again!) who has been railing against technology in schools for decades. Wireless learning simply cannot be discounted like the classroom movies Larry and I saw back when we were in high school in the fifties. A fresher perspective is sketched out at HEWAC — in an article about colleges with may powerful reasons why our younger kids should be unwired as well. The good news from today's New York Times article is that unwiring is happening for K-12 at last!
Library Of Alexandria, Finally!
The grand vision of the intellectual cream of the age of the Ptolemys was to gather every scroll ever written into the library by the sea at Alexandria. Ships docked at the library's wharf for decades, and off and on for centuries. Scrolls burned, or were intentionally burned – we don't know for sure. We do know that the collection was never comprehensive for the Mediterranean world, to say nothing of civilizations to the east and the proto writings of Europe and the Americas.
Now Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle tells us: "Universal access to all human knowledge is within our grasp. It could be one of the greatest achievements of all time." And he is talking every book in every language, plus audio, video and all the rest be available on the internet.
What compounds the magnitude of the achievement is that the coming universal interactive connectivity means every person on the planet can access every node of knowledge. No Ptolemy could have possibly imagined everyone alive using the scrolls that flowed into Alexandria.
Bat Chat
Click on the title "Bat Chat" to visit a collection of bat echolocation calls. You can listen to them as they fly, and to their social chat too.
The Future Of War
This handsome web offering from Newsweek and MSNBC is "an interactive guide to unmanned military weapons." I found it while exploring the robotics section of the Sandia National Laboratory website. Although I heartily support any step toward machines in combat to replace human soldiers, believe the future of war will take a very different direction. We tell ourselves that fanaticism is at the root of terrorist belligerence, and I believe that is entirely true. So the future of that sort of war we now face will be determined by the future of fanaticism. The fighters, human and robotic, will be relieved of duty when isolated people can no longer be persuaded to blow up innocents and themselves.
The cascading epidemic of fanaticism which has supplied the soldiers in the war conducted by terror will be reversed by universal mobile connectivity. Little boys and girls being conditioned to hate America will be much harder to radicalize if they have a cellphone and access to the Internet. It would be a good idea to modify the Sand Dragon into a delivery bot that would be able to penetrate into villages and pass out cellphones and laptops to the population. Beaming bots could roam nearby to support villages as WiFi hot spots.

Ann Landers put this pound cake recipe in one of her columns way back when my 30 year old was in elementary school.

This cake is really good and indefinably delicious. If you can't find the butter flavor extract, leave it out, but do not double up on any of the others. It's the blend of the flavors that make this so good. Five Flavor Pound Cake * 1 cup butter, softened DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10 inch tube pan. In a small bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Set aside. In a measuring cup, combine the milk and 1 teaspoon each coconut, lemon, rum, butter and vanilla extracts; set aside. |

This cream cheese pound cake from the Time-Life Good Cook Series is hard to beat. It was also posted on the King Arthur Flour Baking Circle by MrsM. Many members love it. Cream Cheese Pound Cake 8 oz. cream cheese, softened Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 10inch tube pan. Cream butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 90 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in the pan and remove to a wire rack to cool completely. To make a marble pound cake, pour 3/4 of the batter into the prepared pan. Blend 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa and 2 tblsp. melted butter into the remaining 1/4 batter. Spoon chocolate batter on top of vanilla batter and swirl in with a knife. This is also delicious in an orange variation. Carol |

Thanks for all the great recipes! I plan to start trying them this week. Do any of these freeze well? Thanks again, Brenda |

Mine does. Most pound cakes do. |
Teresa, Your recipe is one that I have been making for years........in fact, it was the first recipe I posted here some years ago. A gal from NC that worked for my husband in Washington DC gave it to me. Must be a popular NC recipe. For some reason I have trouble with it falling when I make it here unless I do it in 2 loaf pans so that is what I do. RL` |

RL, I've made pound cakes for years and never tried that 5 Flavor recipe until more recently. I think I am too much a purist to think anything with that many flavors could be good! LOL! Boy was I wrong! Yesterday I sampled Paula Dean's pound cake recipe. It was good, but not as good as some others that I've tried. In the past I've made Sour Cream Pound Cake, Cold Oven Pound Cake, Cream Cheese Pound Cake, my grandmother's Chocolate Pound Cake, and probably many more. My favorite saying is "you just can't beat a good pound cake!" Often I will make one "just to keep my hand in" or prove to myself that I can still do it. Yes.....southerners love their pound cake! Teresa |
Here's the best one I've ever had. I threw out all my other pound cake recipes when I found this one: CREAM POUND CAKE 1 cup butter, softened (no substitutes!) Cream butter & shortening; gradually add sugar, beating well at medium speed of electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix just until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 1 hour and 40 to 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely. |

Ok, I tried readinglady's first. The recipe was easy enough but I think the temp is off in my stove. When I turned on the light and peeked through the window it had baked up beautifuly and looked wonderful. When the timer went off and I came back, inserted a tooth pick and it was not any where near done. Set the timer for 5 mins and came back, about 20 mins later it was ready to come out. I let it cool for 5-10 mins and inverted it. It never came out of the pan! So we have been spooning it out ever since! LOL! It does taste wonderful and I will keep the recipe. Thanks readinglady! So tomorrow nite, the hubby will be at work all evening so I am going to try the no fault pound cake posted by ginger st thomas. By the time I am done trying these I will never want to look at another pound cake! Oh yeah and I want to try the 5 flavor pound cake but have a problem with an allergy to rum. I have always avoided anything with rum flavor because of it. Think maybe I will try another flavor? Thanks for all the advice Brenda |
Brenda, leave the rum out and use almond extract.......I've done that lots of times and it is still excellent. RL` |

Is there such a thing as a bad pound cake? I've never had one. |
- Posted by msprettyky (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 08 at 8:25
Well Ginger, You've never tried one of my disasters before! LOL! I travel alot and those little prepackaged mini loaves they sell in the convient store are pretty gross. We are planning a camping trip in a couple of weeks and I wanted to make one up ahead and freeze it. I have frozen strawberries from the garden this year and I want to slice it and make strawberry shortcake for my dad. He likes it made with pound cake. I am waiting for the DH to get out of bed to send him to the store for more butter. There is one slice of cake left from RL's recipe and I am sure he will take it to work for lunch. Will let you know how it goes. Brenda |
- Posted by ginger_st_thomas (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 08 at 11:12
LOL. Pound cakes hold up well too & don't seem to get stale as fast, even if they're not frozen. Even if they do, you can still wing it with a trifle. |
I know I am late to the party, but I had to add this recipe. I got it from here, but it was years ao, before I made sure to record the original poster....sorry. I think it may be Ruthanna's, but I am not sure. Anyway, it's good! GEORGIA PEACH POUND CAKE 3 cups flour Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in the sour cream and peaches. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 75 to 85 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert onto wire rack and cool completely. Icing 8 ounces cream cheese, softened Cream the cream cheese and butter in a mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add the milk and almond extract and mix well. Add the confectioners sugar gradually, beating until smooth. Frost cake. Store leftover cake covered in Linda |

Well Ginger, I tried your recipe and it is my husbands favorite so far. I am going to try the 5 flavor I think either today or tomorrow. Have to see if I have enough flour. I know this might sound silly, but can you do these in cupcake tins? Just thought it might make it easier to freeze them individualy. Plus it will keep the DH from eating the whole cake! |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 24, 08 at 9:22
I think I would get some of the small foil loaf pans and bake the pound cake in those - I know those work fine. Not so sure about cup cake/muffin tins. Most large grocery stores have the mini loaf pans in the section where they have the foil casserole, pie pans, etc. Years ago I bought two kinds of mini loaf pans, non-stick and not non-stick just to have to make mini pound cakes and mini breads. Now I am really glad I have them - for gift giving, to share with my parents, and to have smaller portions just for me to freeze. |
- Posted by msprettyky (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 08 at 18:54
Five flavor pound cake in the oven now. Let you know how it turns out. |
Teresa, which do you like better, the nonstick or regular mini loaf pans? And just to make sure, do they end up taking less time to bake? |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 26, 08 at 10:10
Jessy, I think for pound cake I like the nonstick better. You have to understand that I have both types because I got a good deal on them at the gourmet store where I worked at the time. The nonstick are approx. 6"x 3.5" and the regular are approx. 5.75" x 3". Both bake very well, are easy to clean, and I do not have any sticking when I grease with Pam, butter, or shortening. I do not feel the need to line them with parchment paper. The regular pans are molded and the nonstick have folded corners that give a sharper corner to the bread or cake. Yes, they definitely take less time in baking. I start checking at about half the time. One of my favorite recipes for Pumpkin Apple Bread (a sweet breakfast/tea bread) is baked in 6 mini loaf pans (metal or foil) at 350 for 30 minutes. A regular loaf would probably bake for one hour or slightly more. Hope this helps! |
- Posted by msprettyky (My Page) on Fri, Aug 8, 08 at 9:34
Hey, Theresa please post that pumpkin apple bread recipe. Sounds great. I tried the 5 flavor pound cake and it was pretty good. Still think the sour creme pound cake is my fav so far. Think I will try Elvis's fav next. Maybe one day next week. |

Please post it. |
I don't often check this site out but happened on it today and can't resist sharing this recipe with you. It won the blue ribbon at the Sussex County fair in New Jersey about 40 years ago. Blue Ribbon Pound Cake 1 lb. butter Have butter and eggs at room temp. Cream butter. Gradually add sugar beating until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and gradually add flour. Pour into well-greased and floured Bundt pan. Bake at 325 1 hr - 1hr 15 min. or until cake springs back at touch. Cool 10 min. Remove from pan. This is the original recipe. I put a little batter in pan, add some chopped walnuts and then add the rest of batter so that the walnuts sit on top of cake. Try and enjoy! |

I'm a simple cook. To be in my "favorites" file, it has to be easy, economical, and not require me to run to the store. For years I have used the "Hot Milk Sponge Cake" recipe in my old Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. I noticed they've posted it on AllRecipes.com but they never allow anyone to give credit to the original printing of it. Here's the link to that recipe. Leave off the last three ingredients and the fifth level of instructions if you don't want to use the frosting. That was not part of the original recipe and probably something they threw in. I never frost this cake. I usually bake it especially to serve with strawberries and vanilla ice cream, but DH in in the habit of eating up the cake before the strawberries are gone so I have to make extra. So, OK, I know a sponge cake is not a pound cake, because historically a pound cake gets its name from the fact that it calls for a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, a pound of flour.... but we actually like this better because it's not so high in fat. And when I serve it to guests, they always compliment me on my delicious "pound cake". --Ilene |

I'm chiming in late, but like Ginger said, we can always use another cake recipe. First let me say that I am usually a baking disaster, but I tried this recipe for my husbands birthday and made it again for a church function, and several people requested the recipe. Very moist and tasty. SUNDROP Pound Cake 3 cups sugar Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cream sugar, margarine, and Crisco. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and lemon flavorings. Add cake flour alternating with Sundrop. Pour in prepared tube pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Spoon icing over warm cake. Icing Glaze 2 cups confectioners sugar Combine confections sugar, Sundrop and margarine. Mix well and spoon over warm cake. |
- Posted by ginger_st_thomas (My Page) on Sat, Sep 20, 08 at 4:45
What's Sundrop? |
- Posted by ilene_in_neok (My Page) on Sat, Sep 20, 08 at 7:26
I didn't know, either, so I googled. Apparently it's a dark yellow, high caffeine lemon-lime carbonated beverage in a can. We don't have it under that name here in Oklahoma. But we have Mountain Dew which sounds like the same thing. --Ilene |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 20, 08 at 9:26
I think you could sub Mt. Dew or even Sprite for the Sundrop as it is probably a regional soda. Teresa |
- Posted by joy_unspeakable (My Page) on Sat, Sep 20, 08 at 22:52
Sorry - I forget that we're not all in the same place. Sundrop is a 'citrus-y' yellow soda that is bottled/canned in North Carolina (very high caffeine content). I imagine Sprite, 7-Up and maybe even Mountain Dew would work just as well. Though if you ask a southerner, the other sodas don't come close to Sundrop. That makes me wonder - Have you heard of Cheerwine? It's also bottled in NC. (Cherry flavored soda). Guess we all have regional 'treasures'. |

For grantees undertaking multiple projects, the development of a project Quality Plan should be an outgrowth of a functioning quality management system. A comprehensive quality management system is comprised of a written quality policy, a written plan, written procedures, a management that supports and takes responsibility for quality, and personnel who undertake quality assurance and quality control activities.
Chapter 1 provides an introduction to quality, including guideline objectives, definitions, and a brief overview of various quality topics and QA/QC in the context of project and construction management. Also in Chapter 1 are descriptions of what makes up an effective Quality Management System, perspectives on quality from the standpoint of the service provider and user, a description of the inter-relationships and balances among quality, costs and schedules, an overview of the barriers to QA/QC and suggested resolutions, and a description of how to use these guidelines.
Chapter 2 provides a description of the elements of a quality management system. The elements should be considered in the development of detailed quality procedures. The fifteen quality elements are as follows:
Organization of the quality functions for a project should be tailored to the grantee's organizational needs and management structure.
Chapter 3 discusses alternative approaches that depend on the type of capital project, the size of the project, and the use of consultants for project management. Whatever the approach, the grantee has overall responsibility for an effective quality management system and needs to maintain some oversight responsibility for the project quality. Also covered in Chapter 3 is an overview of the use of independent assurance programs, QA/QC in design-build projects, information on test lab accreditation, a description of the value engineering process, and a section on software quality assurance.
Chapter 4 discusses the development of a project Quality Plan. This is an evolutionary process, during which different levels of detail are appropriate at the different project phases. The Quality Plan should be developed as part of the Project Management Plan at the end of the project planning phase, and should be modified as required to provide adequate project quality guidance during design, procurement, and construction. The authority and responsibilities of each component of the project organization need to be clearly defined, extending from grantee senior management to consultants, suppliers, and contractors. The Quality Plan needs to provide details of the quality management system requirements to be applied during the design process, including any quality assurance requirements to be carried out by design consultants. The Quality Plan should define the quality management system requirements to be carried out by construction contractors, construction management consultants (CMC), and equipment manufacturers. The Quality Plan should describe the quality oversight activities (e.g., reviewing, monitoring, auditing, etc.) to be undertaken by the grantee to assure that the plan is followed and effective.
Following Chapter 4 are the appendices that include selections from transit quality programs, selected documents from Long Island Railroad's Quality Management System, and seven case studies. These appendices are provided as references.

Funny thing, deer have been pruning for thousands of years but have no idea of styling, you'd think they would learn something by now!!!! With the size of the leaves you're gonna need a lot of trunk or it won't look good at all, hope you can either grow more trunk or reduce the leaves. Bob |

Hey, Bob! You'd think that *I* would learn by now how the deer operate...! Ah well, the deer must have been truly desperate if they were willing to browse the "stink leaf." Or maybe these deer are just that dumb! I've moved my trees to a fenced area, so I shouldn't have to worry from here on out. I tried hot pepper As to the leaf-size....well, this tree will never make a good bonsai. I figure I'll keep chopping it back |

This is where I keep some of my trees. Completely fenced, not a chance of anything other than a raccoon working its way in. In the front, I have a Calocedrus decurrens (Incense cedar), two California Blue oaks, a "trident" maple seedling, two Ailanthus, one Osage, two California buckeyes, and in the back, a Cryptomeria - 'Sekkan Sugi.'

Corruption, Infamy, and Apotheosis
A preview of Black Crusade, the upcoming Warhammer 40,000 Roleplaying Game |
Black Crusade | Published 29 April 2011 |
Black Crusade, an upcoming roleplaying game that offers players a new perspective on the conflict between the Imperium of Man and the forces of Chaos, will be on store shelves in the third quarter of 2011. Today, we're pleased to present a preview from Andy Hoare, one of the writers for Black Crusade. Among other contributions, Andy wrote about the mechanics for Corruption and Infamy. Thanks, Andy!
No roleplaying game about playing the nefarious servants of the Ruinous Powers would be complete without a system for awarding player characters with the 'gifts of the gods'. Many such gifts boost a Heretic's abilities, each successive blessing granted turning him into a living manifestation of the dark majesty of Chaos. Others are capricious or unknowable, for no mortal can truly wield the raw power of the warp without succumbing to random mutations of mind, body and soul. The ultimate goal of any true champion of the Chaos Gods is to attain the ultimate gift – Daemonhood – before too many such mutations turn him into a gibbering, thrashing Chaos Spawn.
All of this and more is addressed in the form of the rules for Corruption and Infamy, which we'll take a look at here.
Corruption is a measure of how steeped the Heretic is in the fell energies of Chaos. It could be thought of as a means of gauging how 'favoured' he is by the Ruinous Powers, but that would be misleading, because even the most powerful mortal is but an insect to the unknowable denizens of the warp. Rather, Corruption measures how much of the dark blessings of Chaos the character has earned. Corruption is measured on a scale of 1 to 100, with a Heretic moving along the 'Corruption Track' by earning Corruption Points in a similar way to amassing Experience Points. Various deeds earn the Heretic Corruption Points, and upon reaching various thresholds he has the opportunity to gain the blessings of the Chaos Gods.
The gifts of the Chaos Gods take the form of mutations, and many of these have a two tier effect. Such mutations have a primary effect, which applies to every character that gains it, and a secondary effect, which is applicable to characters dedicated to a particular Chaos God. For example, a classic Chaos mutation is the Additional Limb, the primary effect of which is to grant the Heretic the Multiples Arms Trait. If the Heretic is dedicated to Khorne, the new limb bristles with bony spines, granting attacks made with it the Tearing quality. If he is dedicated to Slaanesh, the limb is so lithe and dextrous in its movements that its attacks are carried out at +10 to the character's Weapon Skill. If the Heretic is dedicated to Nurgle, the limb oozes necrotic slime, which grants its attacks the Toxic (1) quality. A character dedicated to Tzeentch is gifted with a limb that darts and writhes in such an unpredictable manner that he can use it to Disarm opponents as a Free Action.
Infamy describes how, well, 'infamous' a character is. It determines how feared he is, how legendary the tales told of his deeds, and the esteem in which other dark champions hold him. A character's Infamy stat has several uses in the game, one of the most important being as a marker of the resources available to him. Instead of spending money to gain resources (for the denizens of the Screaming Vortex barter in nothing but souls) the player characters are able to obtain weapons, armour, services and the likes according to their Infamy. Especially infamous characters can simply demand whatever they want from the fearful inhabitants of the Vortex, while less infamous ones must beg, steal and borrow the tools they need.
Apotheosis or Spawndom
There is one key instance when both Infamy and Corruption come together, and that is when the characters approach the final stage of their careers. At the beginning of the campaign, the GM decides the relative 'difficulty' of the story arc. Characters are judged or held to account by the fell denizens of the Warp when they reach the stated Corruption threshold, which is generally 75, 90 or 100 Corruption Points. Depending on how much Infamy the characters have amassed throughout their brief service, they might be judged wanting and be reduced to seething, howling Chaos Spawns. If they have amassed a high level of Infamy when they reach the Corruption threshold, they may – just may – have attained the ultimate favour of the Ruinous Powers and be granted the gift of Apotheosis, becoming a mighty and eternal Daemon Prince, the ruin of worlds and ultimate foe of the Imperium.
Most characters will never become daemon princes of course, and the majority will die before the risk of being reduced to a Chaos Spawn presents itself. Those who attain 140 Infamy before reaching 100 Corruption face another fate, one that the GM may handle directly through a drastic change in the direction of the campaign, or indirectly. Such characters have the chance to lead a Black Crusade, amassing a mighty army of heretics and fiends and descending upon the weakling Imperium of Man to reduce all to ruins.
And this is the point of Black Crusade – the path to glory is truly strewn with the shattered bones of those that sought to wield the powers of Chaos without considering that all but the strongest fall by the wayside in the process. Only the very strongest survive, those willing to gamble all for power and immortality. Campaigns have a set time limit, determined by the GM and the players, and the characters burn brightly, if briefly as they rise to ultimate power. Only at the very moment of their judgement, when they reach their pre-arranged Corruption threshold, do they discover the ultimate fate of their very souls. Whatever the result, it can be guaranteed that GM and players will have many tall tales to tell as a result!
Black Crusade is a roleplaying game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, a setting in the grim darkness of the far future. Players take on the roles of Disciples of the Dark Gods, working against the rule of the galaxy-spanning Imperium of Man and in pursuit of personal glory.
I really like the way that BC is heading. This RPG seams to be good for more solo or small groups of players. With minions and self centered gameplay you could have a GM and 1-2 players and have a good campaign going. We all know its sometimes difficult to get 4-5 players in the same building for long periods of time.
If your gaming group is larger, your character that happens to become a Chaos Spawn doesn't really have to end, You can just roll up another character and if the Chaos Spawn is needed then play both or if possible have your old character as a minion. The rest of your group can carry on with the campaign. It all depends on your GM as most rules are just guild lines.
I believe that FFG is setting these rules to help GMs keep some control and group cohesion.
Agreed Adam. I will soon be running the final story for a Star Wars RPG I have been GMing on & off for THIRTEEN YEARS. It has finally come time to end it & I couldn't be happier with the journey. A truly good & epic campaign can't be premade & packaged; it must unfold organically, just like real life. It's an odd paradox that of all the games to impose these restrictions on, they chose the Chaos one.
If you just go around virus bombing,enslaving, and sacrificing entire worlds to the gods, sure you're going to gain corruption points. But Daemon Princes are considered Lieutenants in the armies from beyond. So to show that you can indeed command and lead soldiers and you're worth more to them than just a mewling spawn, then you're going to have to amass a little bit of power along the way. Make a name for yourself, and serve the gods by doing more than blowing up worlds. More followers = more power. More power = more followers.
On the flip side, if you just so happen to not even try and please the gods, but gain a lot of power then BAM! Black Crusade for you!
Only the strongest can survive. We're going to have to play a different kind of smart from the ones we're used to in DH, RT, and DW.
A DH/RT character plausibly would be avoiding Chao taint, insanity, and corruption. I thought BC was about BEING a Chaos Champion. Not just being a Chaos Champion, but aspiring to rise through the ranks of Chaos infamy to lead a ... Black Crusade. It would be absurdly game-ick to suggest such an aspiring Chaos Champion wasn't fully embracing Chaos, or was trying to avoid Chaos's taint/or boons if you prefer, just so his 'corruption' score in-game doesn't go up and end the campaign.
It's a huge mixed message; aspire to become a Chaos warlord ... but y'know ... don't be too Chaotic. Slaughter worlds ... but ... run an orphanage on your off days. Ridiculous.
I do not really see the difference between having reached 100 corruption points or insanity points in Dark heresy or Rogue Trader and the Infamy and Corruption system described here.
Don't want the campaign to end early? Make sure you're not putting your character at the risk of becoming a chaos spawn. Don't want to make the campaign change focus by becoming a Daemon Prince? Give some kittens to the orphans or the like to reduce your infamy/corruption.
Seems straight forward enough to me.
A preset ending to any campaign is a bad idea imo, even if you have a very firm idea of where the campaign is meant to go. In my experience ANY campaign can go in very unexpected directions, which is often one of the real pleasures of GMing, but that aside this rule means GMs will need to (some degree) work out where a campaign is going from the start - that's potentially another pain in the ass right there. Some of the best campaigns I've run have started without any clear direction (or planned 'story arc') and grown slowly in the telling, from standalone adventure to adventure.
FFG seem to love a) setting artificial in game limits within their systems ('when you get to this level of power you must stop') and b) generally being vindictive to players through punishing pcs.
Personally, I don't think a flat 'worthless spawn or super-duper daemon-prince' equation either fits canon (where we see plenty of VERY long live Chaos champions with no apparent 'deadline' approaching in their future), or makes for an enjoyable game mechanic, or a useful one for a GM who presumably could become hooked by the Corruption limits he set at the start of the campaign.
But ... hey, we shall see.
Abbadon also consistently refuses daemohood. He doesn't want it until the false-emperor has been deposed.
But either Daemohood or leading a Black Crusade. Interesting choice...
I choose both.
Most chaos lords do die out or become replaced. Abbadon is a poor example, as no one other than Horus has ever gained the favour of all four gods at once (not to mention that someone has to stay consistent in the chaos dex other than Fabulous Bile).
Examine the plight of the Warsmiths of the Iron Warriors in "Storm of Iron" and "Black Sun Dead Sky". The Sabbat worlds Crusade (from Gaunts Ghosts: Traitor General onwards) is another good example: chaos (not unlike the imperial warmasters Slaydo and Macaroth) are constantly vying for power and stabbing each other to get it... or getting reduced to jelly by cosmic horrors beyond time.
Comment thirteen. <grin>
I'm not really feeling the concept of the campaign having a preset ending. I feel that it will prove to be an obstacle to the story. Additionally, I would hate to have to stop playing a treasured character "because." Chaos villains don't always "burn brightly, but briefly." The traitor legions have been burning for millennia. Granted it's not always bright, but the point is that even an archfiend like Abbadon has had a very long career. I will reserve judgement until I can actually see the rules.
If the Heretic is dedicated to Nurgle, the limb oozes necrotic slime, which grants its attacks the Toxic (1)
Seems there are changes about how the "Toxic" traits works. Which is met by me. Their are different ways a toxic can work, so different trait options are a good idea.

Perhaps...just perhaps.... us DH Gamemasters will now get a more detailed guideline on how, where and why to throw CP at the PC. ...hmmm
You get paid for being EEEvil? Just like in real life (Amin, Bush), etc.! (lol)

Krenzers and RG&E to meet
Chili, N.Y. -- A tentative meeting between the Krenzer family, Rochester Gas and Electric and several state agencies is set for Friday, according to Marie Krenzer.
Her family has been fighting to change a proposed $250 million dollar utility upgrade which would strip some 80 acres of their Chili farmland.
We're not against the project we want to see the project go forward, it has merit, but there's a better way that won't hurt Krenzer farms as much as this approved project is going to."
This comes a day after the state Public Service Commission withdrew its support for RG&Es plan. The Department of Agriculture and Markets stated that it did not have direct contact with the Krenzer family and relied on RG&E with regard to the familys stance on the project.
Several calls and messages left for the Department of Agriculture and Markets were not returned.
An administrative judge will meet with all stakeholders and report results of their review to the PSC in one month.
RG&E released a statement that did not directly answer any questions from 13WHAM News.
The company reiterated the following:
1. Completing this project is critical for the Rochester region, and the Commission has set out a process for resolving the remaining questions of the project impacts.
2. RG&E is committed to work with all of the parties over the next 30 days to try to find an acceptable solution and move this project forward.
3. In its order released yesterday, the Commission explicitly said It is undisputed that RG&E complied with its legal obligation to provide notice of the Application by publication, and that notice was legally sufficient in this case. (p.12)
4. As a final point, we are pleased the Commission re-affirmed the urgency and importance of this project and that the balance of the work can continue to move ahead. In the Commissions Order, they explicitly stated: the Certificate Order was neither modified nor stayed by this order. RG&E should expeditiously continue to prepare its Environmental Management and Construction Plan (EM&CP) filing in compliance with the Certificate Order, in light of the reliability need for this project.

I bought a van cherry last year. It has leaves on it but over the last few months the leaves have died off the top and now the leaves on the lower part of the tree are starting to die as well. All of our other trees have done well but our Van Cherry seems to be sick. Anyone have any advice? Thank you. |

Well, it could be any number of things, Brian. If you could post photos, that would help a lot. Take some of the tree, the leaves, and the roots and soil/planting area. You can upload the photos to photobucket.com, then, simply copy the HTML code (NOT the URL, but float your mouse over the photo and you'll get a pop up box that allows you to select different code strings. Select the HTML code and just click in that box and it will then copy the HTML code to your Windows clipboard. You can then paste it right into the body of your message. You can do this repeatedly for all your photos. You'll know you've done it correctly because all your photos will then appear right in your message when you click "Preview Message". That helps us not to have to go to some other place to see your photos, but see them right in your message, much easier. Patty S. |

Not long.
If you like Internet personalities and/or Internet culture, then this little (under 10min) doco will be right up your alley.
It tells the story of ReplyGirl – a rather saucy-looking (you have to say "saucy" like a crooner for it to work) entrepreneur that used her god-given gifts to make some money on/of YouTube. She also created a bit of a "hoo-ha" (you have to say "hoo-ha" like Al Pacino for it to work) on the Internet, splitting the opinions of people on it in two.
So sit back, and enjoy the show (you can say that anyway you want for it to work).
Credit to VICE for making this doco.
I want to share this short documentary I found about a character that I never knew I still love so much. At one stage, this guy was the number one "Most Recognisable" character in America, beating Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and his arch nemesis, Mario. He was the hero that every kid followed, and even me here in Australia, I couldn't help not to be swept into his cult. I'm talking about Sonic the Hedgehog.
I recently came across Sonic the game while browsing around in the Android market. For a cent shy of a dollar (99 cents for those that don't like to subtract), I was able to re-live all my childhood memories right on my new Motorola RAZR mobile phone. Now this part, this part right here, this is the kicker – it actually worked. Playing that game on my phone did really bring back a lot of the memories that I had, and you know what, they were really, really good and happy memories. As a kid, I loved Sonic and Sega, and being an only child, I smashed that game as much as I could. It was my release, my adventure, and I was so happy to have experienced it. Was I "marketingally" brain-washed? Maybe. To be honest, I don't really care – the game was awesome.
After spending some time with the game, I ended-up doing a bit of research and reading on Sonic. While hunting for info, I came across this short documentary by Game Tap. The doco talks about how the character got created, why it was created, and what was the character supposed to represent. As a kid, I never knew this, but Sonic (the game and the character) were part of Sega's marketing ploy to get one over its rival Nintendo; it wasn't just a game, it was a marketing strategy as well. The marketing team had a lot to say on how Sonic should look, feel, and act, but at the same time, they treated him with lots of love, care, and respect. The head of marketing/design over in the US even went as far as calling herself Sonic's "mum", which I can understand and totally relate with.
So sit down, relax, and find-out how and why millions of kids around the world fell in love with this game character. Who knows, there might be another one coming from just around the corner, and the pattern of its success could be just like that of Sonic the Hedgehog. Enjoy!
Title: How Advertising Will Heal the World and Your Business
Author: Mark Woerde
Published by: Letsheal.org
"The goal of this book is to inspire you and give you the tools to un- leash the huge potential of Prosocial Brands. Forget about those typical ad-industry awards… focus on something bigger (like, say, the Nobel Prize) and you'll be amazed how inspired your work will be."
"Where in the past branding has seemed mainly focused on fulfilling hedonistic individual needs, it's gradually becoming clear: people are waiting for brands to facilitate them to help others. And, in doing so, these so-called 'Meaningful Prosocial Brands' help fulfill a basic, strong and growing need: the need to live a meaningful life."
"The recent financial crisis left many reevaluating capitalism and its role in our society. The old capitalist credo, "survival of the fittest" is gradually giving way to a stronger, bolder and, indeed, fitter counter: "survival of the kindest". Profit maximization alone is no longer a sustainable motive as people are asking for more and better from the companies they choose to buy from."
If you are a fan of underground music, then this is not new to you at all – dubstep and 'beatacism' is taking over the club scene. What started off as young producers and DJ's making music that they (as opposed to the rest of the crowd) liked and playing it among themselves, quickly escalated into a musical movement that's sweeping the globe. Embraced by the few that keep their ears to the ground, it is now slowly filtering into the mainstream. And these new genres of music have grown in popularity thanks to the one tool that the music industry has been fighting to curb for years – the internet.
The impact music has on our culture is undeniable – just think of Bob Dylan, John Lennon, et al and the effect their songs had on the peace/anti-war movement of the 60′s/70′s. Music is a contagious symptom of beliefs that can spread quicker than the flu. A musical movement is not just a bunch of catchy chords and melodies sung and danced to by a few people – it's also a map by which they live their life by. And it's those that latch-on to what is perceived to be the "new sound" that usually have the social power to influence those around them. And not just musically, but also in what to wear, eat, watch, read, follow, believe, how to act, and how to behave. Smart marketers/creatives/strategists know this very well, and tapping into the trend-setter can be a very lucrative proposition. It can also back-fire tremendously if done in a "distasteful to the cool peeps" way.
Here are two short documentaries that talk about the evolution of dubstep; how it started, what are its beliefs, and where it is heading. There is a an interesting talk about how the internet has helped the genre and its artists to spread their sound beyond their small city borders, and into the wider world. It also talks about the old adage of "underground vs mainstream" – they listen to this music to differentiate themselves from the crowd, but the further they push their sound, the more people pick it up, which then the mainstream latches on to it, and then the movement dies and evolves into something else; a never-ending musical life-cycle.
So, have a look and see what the 'cool kids' are into these days. It's just a matter of time before every brand and medium picks these genres up, and milk them for their "cool".
Unfortunately I am not aware of any docos about the hip-hop 'LA' beat scene, but have a read of the link in the first paragraph (it discusses how this genre started in the parking lot and a boom-box, and moved on to every part of the world within a matter of a few years), and this one here. And while you're at it, make sure you listen to the music too – it really is something new.
This is a copy of my pitch for the "Izquerda de la Copia" Reflective Web Media Creation assignment for Web Media 507. The assignment asked to present an idea for a web medium that would illustrate an issue from the unit in a way that anyone can understand and engage with it (meaning: in layman terms).
I wanted to create a funny, yet informative, video on the current copyright and illegal file sharing debate that is doing the rounds at the moment. Inspired by the "Downfall" internet meme, I created my own "foreign language" parody; I took scenes out of the Spanish-dubbed Oceans 11 movie, added my own English subtitles, flipped over the storyline, and created a trailer for a movie about a man trying to change the current music and movie industry stance on copyrighted material.
The lecturer loved the idea. However, at the time I didn't have the script ready (I just visualised it in my mind), so the final grade for the pitch was 78%.
The final video/project can be found here.

An article (plus press release) that talks about the upcoming release of Nintendo 3DS, and its partnership with AT&T and Netflix. It seems that Nintendo created not just a game console (which promises amazing things), but it's also a portable 3D home theater. This device has the potential to change how people not only perceive game design and aesthetics, but also the way they consume and obtain media. This thing could be huge…
Nintendo 3DS to get AT&T WiFi Hotspots, Netflix streaming
Also, check-out the Nintendo 3DS: Promo Trailer – E3 2010.
Check out this free-to-view documentary entitled Marketing of Madness: Are We All Insane? – it's an interesting look into the current psychiatric drug industry. Now, I find this documentary to be particularly biased; it's very anti-drug and anti-psychiatry. I believe that everything has its time and place, and although I do agree that psychiatric drugs are a crutch, but sometimes we do need crutches for support.
The doco goes into the history of the industry and the effects of these substances on the human mind, but about half-way through it, it discusses some of the advertising, branding, and public relations techniques that these companies engage in to promote their products. It certainly has a lot of great information in here, but I would be a bit cautious in terms of some of the statistics they present – a double check and more research is definitely recommended by yours truly.
It's a great tool to get you started, and an interesting watch too. However, the voice-over artist and the background music can get a bit annoying after a while.
Here's a link to the whole youtube playlist.
The following article talks about the sudden rise in popularity, and consumption, of new specialty drinks that are in the same vein as Red Bull and Mother, but with the opposite effect; their aim is to relax, rather then to energise. It seems that the latest consumer trend is to chill-out, not to buzz all night.
This is a copy of my article review assignment for International Marketing 615. The assignment asked to choose a recent newspaper/magazine article that describes a situation that could possibly impact organisations from a marketing perspective.
I chose an article that described the current hip-hop scene in Los Angeles and how the changes and trends that are taking place in that community are slowly spreading and being adapted by the rest of the world-wide hip-hop scene.
Final mark for this piece was a distinction – not too sure what was good/bad, as the lecturer did not provide any feedback (I took this unit on-line – never again. Online feedback by Curtin for this unit was useless, ie non-existent). Anyway, hope it helps you out. And no copying! :)
It's the place to go if you want to keep up-to-date with what's happening in the so called "underground" music scene. After all, music is a huge influence on our culture, so it's good to know what occupies the hearing space of people out there.
This little number is an essay I wrote for Web Comms 101/501. The question asked us how a Web 2.0 tool will change/has changed the way people communicate and collaborate with each other. I chose 'Second Life'/virtual worlds as the central point of discussion, and how (and why) we as humans may use it.
I ended-up getting a credit for this essay. The tutor commented that I've spent too much time on the technology evolution part, and not enough on the communication/collaboration side. Although not my highest graded essay, it's definitely one of my favorites.
