Description 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to harvesting apparatus, and, more particularly, to such apparatus especially advantageous for use in harvesting leafy vegetables such as spinach, parsley, onion tops or the like. 2. Description of the Related Art The harvesting of leafy vegetables has in the past, quite difficult, in that it was primarily performed by hand. For example, spinach and other leafy crops must, at the present time, be hand harvested from 40 inch wide beds which is not only arduous, but also a relatively expensive matter. The relatively narrow width of the bed required for hand harvesting has a further adverse effect in producing a correspondingly relatively low yield per square field unit. That is, by merely increasing the width of a planted bed, a corresponding increase in yield per acre can be achieved; however, to increase the bed width requires machine processing. It is therefore, a primary aim and object of the present invention to provide harvesting apparatus especially for use in the harvesting of leafy green vegetables such as spinach, for example, which apparatus severs the produce from the ground and transports the leaves directly to a receiving container or to a loading conveyor. The described apparatus includes mobile (e.g., tractor pulled) equipment consisting of two harvesting sections arranged in side by side relation. Each harvesting unit has at a lower leading edge a cutter for severing the produce at some predetermined adjustable height above the ground level. Immediately adjacent the cutter there is an elongated continuous belt having a large number of slots or openings therein and the internal surface of the belt communicates with a low pressure plenum ("vacuum") such that the cut produce leaves will be held to the outer surface of the belt. The belt with the freshly cut produce leaves adhering thereto moves generally upwardly and angularly with respect to the ground until it reaches a maximum height point at which a sprocket redirects the belt angularly downward to return to the produce severing zone at the front. An enclosure is formed over the belt extending from the cutter to the direction reversal point or produce takeoff point for the belt. The enclosure has a plurality of small openings in a top panel allowing air to make its way directly to the belt (and through) without merely being channeled along the enclosure interior which would tend to produce swirling the could interfere with the vacuum transport of leaves by the belt. The enclosure is also useful in protecting the leaves on the belt from gusts of wind which could, otherwise, dislodge the leaves from the belt, or prevent pickup in the first instance. The vacuum is broken on the belt substantially before the belt begins to reverse direction so that on beginning direction reversal the vegetable leaves drop into a transport container where the produce is fed to a packaging or further handling station. By the use of the described mobile apparatus, the leafy vegetable planted bed, instead of being confined to 40 inches which is necessary to enable a human being to manually harvest the produce, can be much wider, namely, approximately 80 inches. The possible yield is increased merely from having a wider planted bed. Of course, the greater speed with which by machine harvesting can be accomplished over hand harvesting also increases overall yield efficiency. In the accompanying drawing: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the apparatus of the present invention shows adapted for pulling use in a field to be harvested; FIG. 2 is a cutaway view of FIG. 1 showing a vacuumized belt transporting vegetable leaves; FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of FIG. 1; FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the belt and pulley driving arrangement; FIG. 5 is a rear elevational view of FIG. 1; and FIG. 6 is an enlarged sectional view taken through the transport belt. Turning now to the drawings and particularly FIGS. 1 and 2, the harvesting apparatus to be described, enumerated generally as 10, is contemplated for the cutting of growing leafy vegetables; moving the cut vegetables, by a conveyor of special construction to a removal station; and depositing the produce leaves directly into a container or onto a further conveyor for transporting the produce to a handling station. Although produce harvested in this way can be taken to a remote location and packaged, it is also contemplated that packaging may be accomplished at the machine with the final packaged produce being left for pickup or taken away by vehicle from the field site. Although the apparatus to be described may be found useful for harvesting a wide variety of produce, it is considered most advantageous for harvesting vegetables such as spinach, parsley, onion tops or the like which have relatively large leaves. Without reference at this time to constructional details, in its major parts the apparatus 10 includes first and second harvesting sections 12 and 14 mounted onto a wheeled frame 16 which is especially adapted for unitary pulling by a tractor, for example. The two harvesting sections are identical in construction, each including a continuous air-permeable belt 18 driven along a plate from a point just above ground level at the front of the harvesting section to a higher rearwardly located point where it reverses and returns to the front. Just in front of the forwardmost edge of the belt 18 on each harvesting section, there is located a cutter 20 for severing the growing plant from the ground. An engine 22 (FIG. 5) provides rotative power for driving the belt and a fan 24 to produce a vacuum plenum located interiority of the belt of each section for a purpose to be described. With respect to general operation of the equipment described to this point, as the equipment moves through the planted field cutters 20 sever the produce from the ground. The belt 18 of each section receives the severed leafy vegetable and as a result of a vacuum plenum being formed and maintained by the fan 24 underneath the belt immediately adjacent the cutter, the produce 25 adheres to the belt outer surface and moves along with it. Vacuumizing of the belt is only maintained for a part of the belt travel, namely, from the cutter partway up the slope leading to the belt uppermost point, identified generally as 26. On the belt and produce reaching the uppermost point and the vacuum terminated, the belt experiences a sharp reversal in direction and the leaves drop into receiving containers (not shown) or, as an alternative, dropped onto a produce conveyor 28 for transport to a packaging or handling station. Turning now additionally to FIGS. 2 and 3, the frame 16 upon which the entire harvesting apparatus to be described is mounted and by which it is moved about is seen to include a plurality of interconnected I-beams or angle irons 28 mounted onto a pair of wheels 34. At the leading edge of the frame is a tow bar 36 of conventional construction enabling releasable interconnection with the tractor. It is contemplated that angle irons or I-beams 28 be welded together to form the desired unitary construction. The continuous belt 18 is mounted on transversely extending sprockets 39, 40, 42, 44 and 46 directing the belt along the path shown best in FIG. 4. Specifically, sprocket 38 is located at the lowermost and most forward position of belt travel. Sprocket 40 is located above sprocket 38 forming a relatively sharply rising portion in the belt expanse between 38 and 40. Next, sprocket 42 defines the highest and most rearward point providing an extent between 40 and 42 of lesser slope than between 38 and 40. The external sprocket 44, serves as a means for adjusting belt tension and is connected to the drive engine for powering belt movement. Sprocket 46 is an idler. The belt material has a large number of small openings or foramina 48 (FIG. 6). For a total belt width of 67 inches with the described edge supporting technique there is left a continuous relatively unsupported midsection through which pressurized air, in a way that will be described, is drawn forming a vacuum surface approximately 64 inches wide. This vacuum surface width was chosen in order to accommodate a conventional 64 to 68 inch average field planted bed width having furrows for accommodating tractor wheels spaced apart 80 inches which is a typical spacing requirement. Many belt materials having the necessary foraminous character are commercially available. For example, belt materials constructed of many small interconnected links can be sufficiently air permeable to function in the manner required. In a practical construction of the invention, excellent results were achieved using a belt constructed of a material sold under the trade designation INTRALOX, Series 400, manufactured and sold by Intralox, Inc., which belt material was found on test to have 15% open area. Underneath the belt at the front there is located a plenum 50 formed by a back wall 52 extending between sprockets 46 and 40 and spaced from the belt lower surface. Side walls 54, 56 are secured to opposite side edges of the back wall 52 and have top edges lying in a single plane closely adjacent the belt undersurface. With the belt in place, the vacuum plenum is formed and the fan 24 located within a shroud 58 and anchored to back wall 52 acts to lower the pressure within the plenum. Since the belt passing over the vacuum plenum has a number of openings 48, there will be a continuous passage of air therethrough forming a vacuum surface on the belt. An enclosure 60 is located over the belt 18 of each harvesting section extending from just above sprocket 38 to the belt highest point 26. The enclosure includes a top wall 62 and two side walls 64 and 66, the latter being conveniently secured to the frame. A lower portion of the enclosure top wall extending to approximately the sprocket 40 includes a number of uniformly distributed openings 68. Side panels 70 are secured to the frame and are of such dimensions and geometry as to enclose the lateral space defined by the belt edges and the plenum back wall 52. The leading edge of the frame can be mounted onto a pair of sled runners, one at each side of the apparatus, of such width and spacing as to slide along the planted bed during use of the apparatus. An alternative to sled runners could be a hydraulic position sensing device for automatically determining and adjusting the height of the plenum, or manual adjustment of the plenum height. A hood 72 in the form of a solid nose extension is affixed to the lower end of each belt enclosure 60 and extends forwardly of the cutters 20. The hood serves to locate the vacuum effect of the belt ahead of the cutters so as to stand the product up vertically prior to its being cut and to also pull the leaves away from the cutters as rapidly as they are severed. In operation of the described apparatus, the engine 22 is started and the belt 18 of each harvesting section begins to turn in the direction moving the belt upper surface in a direction from sprocket 38 toward sprocket 40. At the same time, the fans 24 are driven to produce a vacuum within the plena 50 such that a vacuum securing surface is produced at the belt upper surface, while at the same time a tractor pulls the apparatus in the direction of the arrow through a planted field. The cutter 20 severs the leafy vegetables at a point immediately adjacent the forward end of the vacuumized belt 18 such that the leaves immediately adhere to the belt and are carried along by the belt. By the described apparatus an 80 inch planted bed can be harvested in one pass. The reason two harvesting sections, each approximately 40 inches wide, are required is to negotiate uneven ground or sinking of the wheels on one side more than the other. For example, a commonly encountered situation, particularly on irrigated fields, is that one furrow may be watered more than the adjacent one which causes the wheels to sink on the one side more than the other. Having two relatively narrow harvesting sections enables readily making vertical adjustments where needed of just one section or of amounts for the two sections. It can be readily appreciated that even moderate lifting of the hood can produce a prohibitive loss in vacuum pull on the severed produce leaves with corresponding drop in harvesting efficiency. The enclosure 60 over the belt protects the leaves being carried by the belt from being removed from the belt by gusts of wind, for example. Also, the openings 68 in the enclosure top wall allow some air induced by the fan action to come through the openings 68 rather than just through the larger opening at the hood. In this way, a strong draft parallel to the belt is avoided which could blow the leaves loose. Openings in the side panels 70 are important in order to assist in removing the air produced by fans 24. Otherwise, sufficient back pressure could be exerted on the belt to blow the leaves loose. Although the invention has been described in connection with a preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that those skilled in the appertaining art could devise of modifications that if used would still be in accordance with the spirit of the invention as described in the appended claims.

Postgame Notes
Posted on August 25, 2007
Filed Under Uncategorized
Courtesy of the Patriots' PR staff, here are some postgame notes from tonight's preseason victory over the Panthers:
Tom Brady completed 17-of-21 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns, good for a 131.5 passer rating. He came out of the game with 6:07 remaining in the third quarter. Brady spread his 17 completions out to eight different receivers, hitting Benjamin Watson four times, Donte' Stallworth and Wes Weker three times each, Sammy Morris and Heath Evans twice, and Reche Caldwell, Marcellus Rivers and Kelley Washington once each.
The Patriots blocked two field goals against the Panthers, with Vince Wilfork and Jarvis Green each swatting down a John Kasay field goal bid. The last time the Patriots blocked two field goals in a regular-season game was on Oct. 21, 2001 against Indianapolis, when Brandon Mitchell and Tebucky Jones each batted down a Mike Vanderjagt attempt. Against Carolina, Wilfork blocked a 49-yard try in the second quarter and Green blocked a 43-yard attempt in the third quarter. The Patriots scored touchdowns on the drives immediately following each field goal block. Following Wilfork's block, the Patriots took over at Carolina's 45-yard line and put together a 10-play drive that ended in a 6-yard touchdown reception by Marcellus Rivers and a 10-0 Patriots lead. Following Green's block, the Patriots took over at their own 31-yard line and drove 74 yards on eight plays to take a 24-7 lead on a 2-yard run by Heath Evans.
Heath Evans scored two touchdowns against the Panthers – one on the ground and one in the air. He hauled in an 8-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady to give the Patriots a 17-7 lead in the third quarter and later plunged in from two yards out to give the Patriots a 24-7 third-quarter advantage. He helped set up his scoring run with a 43-yard rush earlier on that drive. Evans also scored on a 2-yard run last week against Tennessee and his three touchdowns this preseason lead the team. Evans has scored one career touchdown in the regular season, on a 1-yard reception from Brady against Miami on Oct. 8, 2006. Evans scored three rushing touchdowns for the Patriots in the 2006 preseason.
Rookie linebacker Oscar Lua intercepted a David Carr pass in the fourth quarter to thwart a Panthers scoring bid. The Panthers had driven to the Patriots' 15-yard line after moving 68 yards on 11 plays, but Lua picked off the ball at the 10-yard line and returned it 13 yards to the Patriots' 23-yard line. Lua was selected by the Patriots in the seventh round (211th overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft out of Southern Cal.
Tom Brady found an open Marcellus Rivers for a 6-yard touchdown strike in the second quarter to give the Patriots a 10-0 lead. Rivers, who was signed by the Patriots as a veteran free agent on Aug. 8, has played in 75 career games with 13 starts for the New York Giants (2001-04) and Houston Texans (2005). Rivers also spent time with the Oakland Raiders in the 2006 preseason and was on the New Orleans' Saints roster for one game during the 2006 regular season, but was inactive for that contest. Rivers has recorded 51 career receptions for 395 yards (7.7 avg.) and four touchdowns.
The Patriots put together an 18-play, 90-yard drive in the first quarter that ended in a 23-yard field goal and a 3-0 Patriots lead. After gaining possession at their own 5-yard line, the Patriots marched to their own 24-yard line and faced a fourth-and-one. Instead of punting, New England elected to go for it and gained the first down on a 5-yard run by Sammy Morris. Laurence Maroney ran eight times for 38 yards on the drive, while Morris and Wes Welker each caught a pair of passes.
•Rookie defensive back Mike Richardson reached in a batted away a Jake Delhomme pass intended for Steve Smith on third-and-five in the second quarter, forcing a Carolina punt on the next play.
•Adalius Thomas and Rosevelt Colvin stuffed Carolina's DaShaun Foster for a loss of four yards in the first quarter.
•Mike Vrabel sacked Carolina's David Carr for a 7-yard loss in the third quarter.
•Rookie Justin Rogers sacked Carolina's Brett Basanez for a 14-yard loss in the fourth quarter.

The Dent Denison – A New Wristwatch in the Quintessential English Style From the Makers of Big Ben
return to 'simple classicism' in watchmaking, but for Dent London the idea of
form following function has been the foundation of the company's ethos for
almost 200 years.
To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:
The latest manifestation of that belief is the new Dent Denison, a
classic, three-handed wristwatch made in the finest English tradition. Based
on an earlier Dent design that was originally available during the 1920s and
'30s, the Denison is a supremely elegant gentleman's watch which will be made
in a limited edition of 100 pieces in 18 carat rose gold and 100 pieces in 18
carat white gold.
The delectable cushion case houses a crisp, white dial bearing
hand-applied Breguet numerals and providing a small date aperture at three
o'clock. The dial is complemented by 'teardrop' hour and minute hands and a
straight seconds hand, each made from steel which is 'blued' in the
traditional English method.
But it is only by turning one's attention to the underside of the Denison
that its true horological roots can be fully appreciated. An 'officer' style
case back (which provides a perfect blank canvas for engravement and
personalisation) hinges open to reveal an internal plate sporting a
meticulously hand-engraved pattern in the style of the great English designer
A semi-circular crystal reveals details of the exquisitely-made automatic
movement – Dent's first totally new movement for around 60 years – which is
based on a classic English lever escapement design. Again, the winding rotor
is embellished with Morris-style engraving while the plates and bridges carry
the very signature of traditional English watchmaking in the form of a
frosted finish. Fully wound, the movement offers a power reserve of 42 hours.
Each Dent Denison is hand made to order and requires a lead time of six
months to complete.

Along the way Dent patented the first keyless winding mechanism, designed

LCA-Vision CEO Discusses Q3 2010 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Now, I'd like to turn the call over to Mike Celebrezze. Mike?
Michael Celebrezze
Thanks Jody. Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us. Demand for laser vision correction surgery has historically been soft during the third quarter due to summer holidays and vacations. This year our Q3 procedure volume also was adversely affected by a decline in consumer confidence which reached its lowest level since the second quarter of 2009.
Although the economic environment continues to be highly challenging, we are benefiting from sustained improvements in our ability to divert pre-operative scheduled appointments to completed procedures. Dave Thomas will provide more details on these improvements in a few minutes. We continued to take numerous actions under our company wide priorities of cash conservation, patient acquisition and retention and organizational effectiveness.
This includes evaluating all aspects of our operations with the objective of managing our business effectively while providing a highest level of patient care and customer service. At the Vision Center level, this translates into balancing operating costs and revenue generation. To ongoing evaluation, we reached the decision to consolidate operations in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas Fort Worth and Houston by closing one of multiple centers in each of those markets. We are closing Vision Centers in San Diego, Fort Lauderdale, Long Island and Rally. Seven of these Vision Center closures are expected to be completed by mid December and we expect to take a related charge in the fourth quarter of $4.3 million. The charge is comprised primarily of recording 100% of the future rent obligations from the closing centers and severance costs. It is possible that the charge will be reduced if we're successful in negotiating lease buyouts or sub-leases. The eighth center will close when the lease expires in April 2011. With these closings, we expect to have sufficient cash and investments to fund our business beyond 2012 if we perform at least 52,000 procedures annually. Now I'd like to review our 2010 third quarter financial results. As in the past, we are providing both GAAP and adjusted revenues and operating loss as a means of measuring our performance. The adjusted results account for the non-cash impact of the accounting for separately priced extended warranties. A reconciliation of revenues and operating loss as reported in accordance with GAAP is provided at the end of the news release we issued this morning.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Cynthia Dill, a state senator in Maine, won the Democratic primary in the race for retiring Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe's seat on Tuesday, beating out three other Democrats.
As soon as results started coming in, it became clear the real race was between Dill and former Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap. Dill defeated Dunlap 44 percent to 36, with 75 of precincts reporting. In a distant third place was Jon Hinck with 13 percent, followed by Benjamin Pollard with 8.
The candidate gobbling up all attention in the race to replace Snowe wasn't on the ballot Tuesday. Angus King, the former governor, is an independent, and has been steadfast in his refusal to say with which party he would caucus if elected to the Senate, although both parties say they suspect he would cast his lot with Democrats.
Polls show King to be the early favorite in a three-way race between King, a Democrat and a Republican. The odds are much better for King if it's a race between the independent and the Republican — putting Senate Democrats in the awkward position of deciding whether to snub the Democratic candidates and put their muscle behind King.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and its chairwoman, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), have given few indications about how they will proceed in the race, which became an unexpected but prime pick-up opportunity for Democrats after Snowe announced in February she would retire.
But the DSCC notably did not issue any response or statement Tuesday after the races were called. The DSCC, in states holding competitive Senate races this cycle, has typically issued a statement on primary nights, congratulating the Democratic nominee and previewing Democrats' lines of attack against the newly minted GOP nominee. That was also the case earlier Tuesday, when the DSCC congratulated former Gov. Tim Kaine, the Democratic Senate nominee in Virginia, and criticized former Sen. George Allen (R-Va.), the winner of the GOP primary.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee, in its response, said both of Summers's opponents stand for a big-government approach. NRSC Chairman John Cornyn (Texas) said Maine deserved a senator like Summers "who will be a real independent thinker and leader."
Maine Democrats have said they will support their candidate, but acknowledge that many Democratic voters could cast their ballot for King in November.
Democrats in Washington say the prospect of having one fewer GOP senator without having to spend big to knock one off would be like a freebie for Democrats. But they acknowledge that King would likely be a much less dependable vote for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) than would a true-blue Democrat.
In late April, Dill told The Hill that the involvement or lack of involvement by the DSCC would not make the difference in the race.
"If you're asking me if I want money from national Democrats, yes, I'd love some," Dill said. "But without it, I'm still planning on winning — and I think I can win."

Caroline Wozniacki wasted no time in sealing her spot in the second round of the Rogers Cup as she dropped just two games in beating Daniela Hantuchova.
The in-form Dane - who won her first tournament of the season at the Istabul Cup towards the end of last month - was simply far too consistent for her Slovakain opponent as she raced away to a 6-1 6-1 win.
14th seed Carla Suarez Navarro also came through in straight sets as she beat Serbia's Bojana Jovanovski 6-4 6-3.
Venus Williams was taken to three but eventually overcame Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the American prevailing 6-1 3-6 6-2.
Former US Open champion Sam Stosur eased past Monica Puig 6-2 6-2 while her fellow Australian Casey Dellacqua saw off Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium 6-0 4-6 6-2.
In the day's other first-round encounters there were wins for Caroline Garcia, Karolina Pliskova, Elena Vesnina, Coco Vandeweghe and Ekaterina Makarova.

Colback Linked With Leeds Loan
Leeds United are interested in Sunderland youngster Jack Colback. Colback is available from Sunderland after a loan spell with Ipswich Town earlier this season. Leeds have signed George McCartney from Sunderland again and will return to Wearside in an effort to sign Colback on loan. Colback is back at the Stadium of Light after three months on loan at Ipswich, where he spent last season, but Simon Grayson wants to borrow the 21-year-old midfielder to boost his promotion bid.

The First Cemetery of Athens (Greek: Πρώτο Νεκροταφείο Αθηνών) is the official cemetery of the City of Athens and the first to be built.

Jim Cramer must be getting PR advice from Roland Burris
If it was a heavyweight fight, there would be calls for an investigation.
Fans would say the fight was rigged. "He took a dive!"
That's what it felt like last night watching Jon Stewart's dismantling of CNBC's Jim Cramer.
Pre-game hype aside, it was no Clash of the Titans. Of the two, Stewart was the Titan. Cramer, the Titanic. Actually the Titanic fared better. There were survivors.
Where was the guy who mocked Stewart days before?
"Oh, oh, a comedian is attacking me! Wow! He runs a variety show!" That was Cramer earlier in the week when asked to respond to Stewart's criticism.
Last night?
There was, "I should do a better job" and "I wish I'd done a better job" and "I'm trying. I'm trying."
No fight
Any machisimo he displayed earlier in the day quickly wilted.
On Martha Stewart's program hours earlier he said of his upcoming appearance, "I'm going to have to fight back. I'm not a doormat."
Right. And Rush Limbaugh isn't the de facto leader of the Republican party.
PR strategy
The Motley Fool wonders, "What on Earth was Jim Cramer doing last night?'
No kidding. Who's Cramer's publicist? Roland Burris?

Wideouts doing wideout things.
Many of you know the movie "Invincible," starring Bro staple Mark Wahlberg as Vinny Papale, the Philly bartender and one time semi-pro football player who made the Philadelpha Eagles during the 1976 season as special teams player.
The Playmaker was spitting straight fire in an interview today with ESPN Los Angeles, calling Nevin Shapiro everything short of an Abercrombie and Fitch-wearing fag, which he actually is.
My alma mater used to be a football powerhouse, an NFL breeding ground.

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
It's berry time! And while nothing beats a juice-stained handful straight off the vine (or out of the carton), Double Berry Shortcake with Orange Biscuits and Honey Cream comes mighty close.
Need a little inspiration to begin your spring baking projects? Friends showing you up at potlucks? In this post, Megan Gordon shares her picks for online finds that will get you prepared and inspired to hop in the kitchen and start baking.
My copy of Lebovitz's book is already stained (with coffee) from just looking at it. It's the best type of food porn available: high production values (great recipes and gorgeous photography by Maren Caruso); a cast of stars (Chocolate Orbit Cake, Kumquat Sticky Toffee Pudding, Apple-Quince Tarte Tatin) that are hot, but not out of reach; and a writer who supplies, if not a story line, then enough anecdotes to keep me interested (The Racine's Cake recipe was, after all, found written on a men's room wall). It's one sexy book.
Spring has sprung in the city! There is asparagus in the markets, flowers popping up at the corner store by my place, and it's no longer getting dark at 5:30. Hallelujah. For me, that generally means going for runs after work instead of hunkering down, making lots of fresh salads for dinner, and doing a little spring time baking. So here is a lovely recipe for a lemon pudding cake — I made it with lemons from my mom's tree in Marin and had the other ingredients in the fridge. It's relatively simple, light, and perfectly tart.
Raise a toast to Sparkling Citrus Gelée, a New Year's Eve-worthy dessert that can be eaten by just about everyone at your dinner party, and that looks gorgeous to boot.
There are myriad guidebooks to Paris: Pudlow, Michelin, and Lonely Planet, to name a few and all of them worth the money. They tell you where eat, where to stay, and what to see.
And then, of course, there are guidebooks to Paris– those that tell you all of the above plus a little bit more, like how to navigate unfamiliar social customs, how to blend in with the landscape– in short, how not appear as though one has arrived from Central Casting to play the Ugly American. The Sweet Life in Paris by David Lebovitz is that and a bit more.
It has recipes. Lots and lots of recipes.
There is a tradition in my house around this time of year. Come Easter Sunday, a cake must be made, and it must be made in the shape of a bunny or a lamb, using a special bunny- or lamb-shaped cake pan (preferably the one passed along to me by my mother, from her mother). Once the cake is baked, it's frosted with white icing and lavished with pastel-dyed coconut (to represent bunny fur or lambswool, if bunnies had a thing for Manic Panic hair color). Jelly beans stand in for eyes, mouth, and general bejeweling. The type of cake–white, yellow, lemon–is less important than the fabulousness of the decoration.
Calling all cupcake lovers! Make them or buy them and share or just eat them, this Sunday at CupcakeCamp. Cupcake tastings will be scheduled at different time slots (e.g. by flavor, baker, or store) and categories to be judged include Best Frosting (flavor), Best Cake, Most Creative/Unique/Original/Bacon. For those bringing cupcakes, the limit per person […]

Chan Gailey is doing more with less
Bills coach getting most out of Bills, much like he did in his time with Cowboys
IRVING, Texas -- Maybe Jerry Jones had it right all along when he named Chan Gailey the Dallas Cowboys' coach on Feb. 12, 1998.
In an alternate, what-if universe, maybe Gailey would be the longest-tenured NFL head coach in his 14th season and would be Jones' Tom Landry instead of opposing the Cowboys on the other sideline with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at Cowboys Stadium.
Even Jones has admitted that firing Gailey after two seasons was one of the biggest mistakes he has made since taking over the Cowboys.
"I think he's one of the few coaches in the league who can take less and make more with it," former Cowboys guard Nate Newton said.
That's coming from a player who was cut under Gailey's tenure.
"When he took over, we had totally different talent on the team," former safety Darren Woodson said. "I thought we were average at best. I thought he did a hell of a job just getting us to the playoffs. I know there were a lot of surprised guys when he was let go. I thought we were on the right track."
The Cowboys lied to themselves in the late 1990s. They thought the core that delivered Super Bowls in 1992, '93 and '95 had enough steam left to keep on winning. Troy Aikman wasn't the same Troy Aikman. Michael Irvin got hurt in 1999 and retired. Emmitt Smith kept churning out yards and touchdowns, but things were more of a grind.
The offensive line wasn't the same, even with Larry Allen. The defense wasn't the same, even with Woodson and Deion Sanders. The failed drafts of the mid-1990s and free-agent defections depleted a roster that once was the envy of the league.
"He was trying to change the culture of our team and the offensive philosophy from what a lot of guys on offense were accustomed to," Woodson said. "It was an uphill battle for him. ... Guys were accustomed to doing things the way they wanted to do it. When Jerry had to make a choice, he chose to stay with the guys that had been here."
With an 18-12 regular-season record and two wild-card playoff defeats, Gailey was out. He went on to coordinate Miami's offense with unheralded players, and the Dolphins won a playoff game. He turned that into a six-year stint at Georgia Tech.
The Cowboys went 5-11 three years in a row starting in 2000, doing less with less.
Gailey is not without fault. He did not want Randy Moss in the first round of the 1998 draft because of Moss's off-field baggage. He could have been a little more flexible with his offense. He could have demanded more from Jones the general manager, if not the owner.
"Well, the first time you're a head coach, you don't know what you don't know," Gailey said. "I learn every day. I really do. I learn every day something about how to handle people better, about how to handle situations better. I'd been a head coach before, but not in the NFL. I learned how to deal with situations on a daily basis there that were different than I had dealt with in any of [my] other previous stops in the NFL. We were a team in transition. We were going from an older team to a younger team. And we were trying to win in transition because we all knew that we were going from that older group to trying to get younger and trying to get better. So I learned about evaluating talent and placing talent on the field better.
"I tried to play Michael Irvin in the slot. Because he was a really good receiver, I was trying to find a different way to undercover him. That didn't work. In retrospect, that wasn't smart. It was short-lived. I learned in a hurry not to do that and left him outside where he could go be one-on-one with guys. I learned a lot. I can't even remember everything that I've learned, but what I did became a part of me. I've been able to take those experiences, and hopefully I'm better now than I was then."
After he was let go at Georgia Tech, Gailey returned to the NFL as Kansas City's coordinator, still wanting another shot at a head-coaching job.
"Everybody does," Gailey said. "What you want to do is have the opportunity to be the best of the best. And that's what you're trying to get done if you're in the business, trying to be the best of the best. And the NFL is the best, so you want an opportunity to try to be a champion in the best league."

He is doing more with less, like he did with the Cowboys, even if people did not recognize it then.
"Those coulda, woulda, shoulda things, you think about, but if you dwell on them, you're wasting brain cells," Gailey said. "There's no sense in dwelling in that kind of stuff. You go on with life. If you're spending too much time in the past, all you're doing is hurting yourself.

Where have you read this before?
Today, The News, one of Pakistan's largest newspapers, published this report by Amir Mir on Sanafi al Nasr noting the death of six al Qaeda operatives. An excerpt of the article, titled "Six top al-Qaeda leaders droned in Waziristan," is below:
The al-Qaeda has confirmed that the recent US drone strikes had killed six of its leaders in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan, which used to be administered by Hafiz Gul Bahadur -- once considered to be a "good Taliban" by the Pakistani establishment.These six al-Qaeda leaders were killed in the July 10 drone strike that took place in the Doga Mada Khel village in North Waziristan Agency's Datta Khel area -- a well-known hub of al-Qaeda, Haqqani Network, Tehrik-e-Taliban and the Lashkar-e-Zil.
Some of the top al-Qaeda leaders killed in drone strikes in Datta Khel also included Mustafa Abu Yazid, the chief operational commander of al-Qaeda and a close aide of Osama bin Laden, who had claimed responsibility for the 2007 murder of Benazir Bhutto in Rawalpindi.
Others killed in the July 10 drone strike could not be identified at that time because their bodies were immediately removed from the scene. However, 10 days later, Sanafi al Nasr, the head of al Qaeda's "Victory Committee", who is based in Syria and has close ties with al-Qaeda's general command in Pakistan, has stated that six of his "dearest comrades" were killed in a US drone strike in Pakistan.
Nasr, a Saudi national whose real name is Abdul Mohsin Abdullah Ibrahim Al Sharikh, being the leader of the "Victory Committee", is responsible for developing and implementing al-Qaeda's strategy and policies.
If that sounds familiar, it is because The Long War Journal first reported on Sanafi al Nasr's tweets about the six al Qaeda operatives on July 20.
Amir Mir has copied from The Long War Journal. For example, consider our description of Sanafi al Nasr: "As the leader of the Victory Committee, Nasr is responsible for developing and implementing al Qaeda's strategy and policies."
Now here is Mir's description [emphasis added]: "Nasr, a Saudi national whose real name is Abdul Mohsin Abdullah Ibrahim Al Sharikh, being the leader of the 'Victory Committee', is responsible for developing and implementing al-Qaeda's strategy and policies."
Our description of Nasr is not based on open sources, or on anything al Qaeda has reported. Nasr's responsibilities were described to us by US intelligence officials who track al Qaeda closely. In other words, there is no other place Mir could have gotten this information, let alone the exact wording we used, other than from The Long War Journal.
This isn't the first time we have detected Mir doing this. For instance, on April 25, 2013, Mir published a report at The News on Abdullah Adam, al Qaeda's intelligence chief, who was killed in a US drone strike. His report was printed one day after LWJ published an account that noted the reports of Adam's death and also provided a full background on the leader. Amir Mir merely rewrote large sections of LWJ's report and used it as his own, without citations.
And, on Jan. 4, 2013, after the US killed Mullah Nazir in a drone strike, Amir Mir also lifted large sections of LWJ reporting on Nazir and Pakistan's views of the "good Taliban" vs. the" bad Taliban." See this LWJ report from Jan. 3, 2013 to understand where Mir got his "inspiration."
We know for a fact that Mir reads LWJ. For instance, in this piece about the supposed split within the Pakistani Taliban that was published on Dec. 9, 2012, Mir cites and quotes LWJ four times. We encourage him to credit LWJ reporting in the future instead of using it as his own.
Dawn, which originally cited The News as the source of its article on the report of the six al Qaeda leaders who were killed, has now credited LWJ as the source of its report. You can read Dawn's article here.
READER COMMENTS: "Where have you read this before?"
Posted by Stephanie at July 22, 2014 12:54 PM ET:
Ha, ha ... I'm glad they are reading the LWJ but they obviously weren't taught the rules about plagiarism in college, according to the American standards. :-) Reminds me of grad students I encountered in the Middle East who thought copy pasting from Google was writing a research paper. What do you mean it's not my work? they asked. I did all the hard work of looking it up on Google and finding what to copy paste into my paper!!

This is a perfect example of how the corruption and lack of ethics in one country can affect someone in another.
Amir Mir and The News are a very good representation of the corrupt nature of the prominent class in Pakistan an their institutions, whether private or governmental. These people have little or no ethics. This is one of the reasons why Pakistan is in the state it is, and why the Taliban and other groups are fighting to bring down this unethical, unjust and immoral establishment. The only reason this corrupt establishment is holding on is because of the support from the West.
You reap what you sow. :)
Posted by David Salmon at July 22, 2014 1:53 PM ET:
The updated online version does give credit to LWJ. Dawn's republication of your story gives it a much wider audience, which is useful.
Posted by Caleb at July 22, 2014 2:08 PM ET:
Plagiarism never gets one very far. I hope he takes your advice and starts to properly source his work.
Posted by Bill Roggio at July 22, 2014 3:03 PM ET:
We do not or have not had an issue with Dawn; Dawn originally picked up its report from The News and cited it as such.
Dawn did the right thing and updated its article, but Amir Mir's article at The News still does not cite LWJ.

"This is one of the reasons why Pakistan is in the state it is, and why the Taliban and other groups are fighting to bring down this unethical, unjust and immoral establishment."
You must be kidding me. Since when is the Taliban fighting to bring down the corrupt to impose an ethical, just and moral establishment?
With respect to the article, isn't this what we expect from duplicitous Pakistanis. No shock or surprise here.
Posted by Bill S. at July 23, 2014 1:28 AM ET:
The fact that Pakistani newspaper are lifting your reports says quite a deal about your site' s honesty and attempt to report the news accurately "without fear or favor" . With your reports being accepted in a predominantly Islamic country such as Pakistan, it shows you are doing a great job of reporting the news with credibility.

Abu Adam has been trolling around LWJ lately, throwing out his salafiist/takfiri b.s, to try to make a splash.
I would remind Abu Adam and others like him of the original articles content. 6 of your "closest brothers," POOF
Gone, Pink mist. Gotta love it.
Now, I'm near certain that a hellfire missile or 8 shoved straight up your jihadi brethrens' collective tailpipes does NOT make a poof! sound, when it hits. In fact I would bet that there's no sound at all. And then a very big boom and a very hot fireball.
After all the reporting that LWJ has done on Af/Pak, and terror in general, it's bound to have made some admirers like amir

We are winning! You and your types are loosing! :) People like you can't win anything...you love life too much! :)
You ran away from Iraq, and it is now in our hands. Syria is ours! You are running away in Afghanistan. Pakistan will be ours soon too. :) We are taking over and you are packing up and going home. :)

Abu Adam,
This is fun, I've never actually gotten to talk to one of the enemy. I think you're a bit silly though...and shortsighted.
Abu, we don't necessarily need to "be" anywhere to kill you and/or your buddies. We can very easily do that from a long, long way away, while in complete safety and comfort. Can you? No, you can't. Or, we can make things a touch more intimate and send a message. Maybe send in a few SEAL's or Delta boys, get up close and personal, and make it look like your rivals did it. Can you do that Abu? No, you can't.
The point is, we have lots and lots of options Abu, and here you are, mucking up one of the best, if not the best, sites on the Internet, and counting your chickens waaaaaaayyyy before they've hatched.
You think we are worried about you and your sort? Think again Abu, in fact, just go ahead and reevaluate entirely everything you think you know about my country and my people. You don't know squat, you're totally unprepared.
It's laughable to think that you and your kind are "winning."
Abu, your jihad has been hijacked.... You've all been played, like fools, one against the other, for years now.
We've got your number Abu, and the schism is just the beginning of your inevitable downfall and defeat.
Posted by Abu Adam at July 24, 2014 6:50 PM ET:
Killing us is not a problem for us. The war against people like you will go on until the day of judgment. We will kill you and you will kill us.
What is important is that we have succeeded in sending you whipped cowards home, and we have prevented you from controlling any territory. You ran home to mommy!
I have been around people like you long enough to know that you are nothing more than cowards, who are afraid of dying. My goodness, man, you are all afraid of your own women. How can you fight anyone, except from places where you feel safe and secure? If you don't control territory, you have nothing. You have won nothing.
When you were here, you hid in your bases, and you only came out for the media show, surrounded by choppers and at least three rings of defense. You love life like we love death. You can only kill from a distance. :)
We are here and controlling land and resources, and there is nothing you can do about, except maybe killing a few of us here and there. This is not a problem at all. We expect this. :)
We sent you running in Afghanistan and in Iraq. We are still there controlling territory and resources.
With all your sophisticated technology and weapons and tens of thousand of soldier, you achieved nothing. :) We are still here and controlling territory and resources.
By the way, you're also running out of money. Your country is a mess. You're turning into a third world country. You are coming apart from within. :) You poor schmuck!

Hey Evan,
Check this out!
Posted by Abu Adam at August 5, 2014 11:56 AM ET:
Now in 2014, the US is no longer feared or
admired as it was at the turn of the century.
The Mujahideen have succeeded in exposing
America to the world as the paper tiger they
had always believed it to be. US attempts to
intimidate the rest of the world, particularly the
Muslim world with its invasions of Afghanistan
and Iraq, have backfired disastrously. Despite
possessing the most technologically advanced
military in history, whose 'Shock and Awe'
tactics are supposedly so powerful that they
can bring regimes down to their knees in a
matter of weeks, it has failed miserably to
hold on to any territory that the lightly armed
Mujahideen chose to contest.
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq resulted in a
complete failure for the US. After having been
haunted everywhere by the incessant attacks in
Iraq, it fled the country a few years ago, and this
year, it is fleeing from Afghanistan. The stated
goals of the US in Afghanistan were to destroy
Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, but since 2001, Al-
Qaeda has spread throughout the world, not
only as an organisation but also as a manhaj
(methodology). The Taliban have proved to
the world that the US is not to be feared, and
that they can be defeated through a sustained
guerrilla war. Much of Afghanistan is effectively
under Taliban's shadow government and once
the US leaves, it is only a matter of time until
the entire nation is once again ruled by the
Taliban In Sha Allah I. A recent US intelligence
report itself declared that by the year 2017, the
Taliban will have undone any gains that were
made by the US and its allies.
The American people have grown tired of their
government's hopeless foreign adventures
in the Muslim world. American parents no
longer want to send their sons and daughters
to be cannon fodder in their government's
imperialistic wars. Thousands of US soldiers
have died in Afghanistan and Iraq, and tens
of thousands have returned injured. Then
there is the untold story of veterans who had
witnessed horrific crimes committed against
innocent people, whose memories haunt them
and drive them out of their minds and into a
state of despair that leads to the murder of
close ones and even suicide. On the economic
front, the US is in turmoil. Its wars against the
Muslim Ummah have and will continue to cost
it trillions of dollars. Its national debt currently
stands above $16 trillion. The global financial
crisis affected the US more than any other
nation and showed how much the US and its
people have been living far beyond their means.
The gap between rich and poor is widening;
while their elite live in lavish extravagance, the
majority drown in interest-based debt.
The US claimed that it was the bearer and
exporter of what it terms 'human rights'.
However, during its "War on Terror", it has
shown that there are no bounds of inhumane
treatment that they will not cross. The world
has witnessed their abuses in Abu Ghraib, their
legalisation of torture euphemistically termed
"Enhanced Interrogation Techniques", their
abduction (so-called "Extraordinary Rendition")
of Muslims to secret prisons, their detainment
of child prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, and their
murder of countless innocent civilians in Iraq
and Afghanistan among other places. Whereas
once the US had deceived much of the world
into believing it was a force for good, now the
US is seen as one of the world's leading violators
of human rights.
As a result of these "new realities", such as its
defeats in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US has
declared that it will be reducing its military force
and will not be planning any more long-term
wars. In recognition of just how much things
have changed, US Defence Secretary Chuck
Hagel has announced his plans to shrink the US
peace-time Army to its smallest size since 1940,
stating, "…after Iraq and Afghanistan, we are no
longer sizing the military to conduct long and
large stability operations". As the US has lost
the will to fight, it has been seeking methods of
warfare that don't put its soldiers' lives on the
line. This is manifested in many ways, including
its increasing reliance on drones as can be seen
in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia,

Exeter manager Paul Tisdale felt it was a crucial point gained as his side were held to a 1-1 draw by Cheltenham at St James' Park.
Exeter went in front when Jordan Moore-Taylor flicked in from Craig Woodman's cross for his first professional goal, but Cheltenham earned a share of the spoils when Byron Harrison capitalised on some poor defending to poke the ball past Exeter goalkeeper Christy Pym.
The point did little to help Exeter in their fight to avoid relegation and they sit just two points above the relegation zone with a trip to promotion-chasing Chesterfield to come on Good Friday.
"It was a point gained," Tisdale said. "We started the game really well and I couldn't have asked for more of the players than what they gave in that opening quarter. They really took the game to Cheltenham.
"We played with a lot of forward pressure and that is what I thought we needed to do, but I am disappointed that they got an equaliser. They didn't have much to show for their opening 20 minutes, but they managed to bundle one in.
"I am not sure if it was soft on our behalf, or slightly fortuitous on their behalf, but the fact is it was 1-1 and I don't think we deserved to be level at that point, but they were and then the game ebbed and flowed after that.
"I thought it was a fair result and I am pleased with how we played. It is an anxious time, it is nerve-wracking for us all and there is a lot at stake with every pass, every tackle and every decision you make. All things considered, I thought the players applied themselves really well.
"There are going to be weeks where teams win, teams lose and others draw, but as long as we keep applying ourselves in the right way and playing our football, then we will be competitive in every game. We have to knuckle down and finish the season with some points."

The Elo System vs The Hidden Elo Rating System
What do you guys think? The pros and cons of each? I like the hidden rating system, you still gain all the pros of the elo system but don't have the stress of a looming number over your head during every game you play. Especially since that number is effected by your 4 team mates you play with. Some people would consider that annoying, not being able to see where you rank among all the other players. But does it really matter? You could keep the visible rating for teams. That makes sense to me, since it's a team game. I propose having brackets, like we already do with the bronze, silver and so on, but get rid of the number. You'll know you're doing better if you reach a higher bracket. That might not be enough for some people, but I think it's all that really matters in solo queue. What do you guys think?
So in other words, you want us to have SC2's system? Not bad by any means, but not exactly re-assuring, considering how people there don't care anymore after several years without changing their brackets. Elo shows you're own personal progress, regardless of others. Brackets show exactly what you are to others. It only drops moral to those with a low rank, in much the same way as seeing your own low elo.
